Chapter 378: Jumping into the Fire Pit
The Mongol Tatars attacked Jinghu South Road, looting in this area, and the court and China panicked again, and even some of the court's lords suggested that the army of the three divisions in front of the palace should be sent to Jinghu South Road to resist the Mongol Tatars, which is not because the court and the people in this area are worried about the people, but because there are many of the lords of the court and the central government, and the hometown is on the Jinghu South Road.

Jia Rudao was even more distressed, he had planned to send an envoy to Xiangyang, and secretly negotiated with the Mongolian Tatars, trying to calm the increasingly fierce war, but in terms of selecting personnel, he has always felt that it is not appropriate, so he has not moved, and now the Mongolian Tatars are not only besieging Xiangyang Fucheng, but also sending a large army to attack Jinghu South Road, and put their hands into the core area of the Great Song Dynasty.
Jia Rudao made up his mind to send an envoy to Xiangyang as soon as possible to negotiate with the Mongol Tatars, regardless of whether this negotiation could succeed or not, at least try, it was better than not doing well, in case the Mongol Tatars could retreat, it would be a great achievement.
Jia Rudao did not mention this matter in the DPRK, after all, such a matter should not be made public, lest those adults in the DPRK who are generous and passionate, have no ability, and cannot come up with a real solution, will jump out and shout.
Jia Rudao finally decided to let the fourth master go to Xiangyang to negotiate with the Mongolian Tatars.
In his opinion, the fourth master's adaptability is very good, and he is also a person who has seen the world, and can calmly face the negotiation matters, even if he encounters the difficulties of the Mongolian Tartars, he can bear it, and others may not be.
As for whether the fourth master went to Xiangyang to negotiate this time, whether he could come back alive, I don't know.
When the fourth master came to the study and saw that there was only Jia Yidao inside, he already understood.
During this time, the envoy of the imperial court was not sent out for a long time, and the fourth master faintly felt that he was afraid that he would take on this task, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Besides, the study is not accessible to anyone, even Jia Yidao's staff, without permission, they are not allowed to enter the study.
Seeing the fourth master enter the study, a kind smile appeared on Jia Yidao's face, and he waved his hand to stop the fourth master who was about to salute.
"Fourth master, I invite you to come today, or last month we discussed the matter of sending envoys to Xiangyang, you see, this matter of sending envoys, I have been thinking about it for so long, and there has been no suitable candidate, to say that although there are many staff members around me, but there are still too few outstanding ones like you, negotiating with the Mongolian Tatars, the responsibility is heavy, and ordinary people can't bear it, and I can't believe other people, if I go to Xiangyang, I see the Mongolian Tatars, and talk nonsense, the consequences are unimaginable."
Jia Rudao didn't have the slightest shame or embarrassment, but looked very reasonable, which made the fourth master muttered in his heart, what do you mean, playing monkey, when I was a three-year-old child.
But the fourth master won't show it.
"This negotiation is indeed a great responsibility, Wei Guogong trusts, and his subordinates must do their best, but how to grasp it, there are countless subordinates in their hearts, and I ask Wei Guogong to make it clear."
The fourth master's words made the smile on Jia Yidao's face even brighter.
"What the fourth master said is right, it seems that it is a wise and correct decision to let you serve as a messenger, this time to send an envoy to Xiangyang, it should be very difficult, after all, the Mongolian Tartars have completely surrounded Xiangyang Mansion City, launched round after round of attacks, and the Mongolian Tartars have sent a large army to plunder in the area of Jinghu South Road, it seems that they have an absolute advantage, and it is a logical matter to take Xiangyang Mansion City, but in fact, it is not...
When Jia Rudao said this, he paused slightly.
The fourth master looked at Jia Nidao and didn't speak, he was waiting for Jia Nidao to say the most critical place.
"The Mongol court and Kublai Khan must take into account the situation in Sichuan and the Central Plains, and I have decided to write a letter to Lord Wu Shaogang, the envoy of Yunchuan Jiedu, suggesting that he launch an attack in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng and put on a posture to take the Henan Road, so Kublai Khan and the Mongol court will definitely panic, and even send a large army from Xiangyang to help...
The fourth master's face was as usual, this is not a good strategy, besides, whether Wu Shaogang will attack the Central Plains again, or something that is uncertain, Jia Rudao's meaning, that is, to exchange this point, it seems that the Mongolian Tartars will not attack Xiangyang Fucheng, then the Central Plains can be peaceful.
Are the Mongol Tartars really so stupid, or rather weak?
It's a pity that the fourth master won't explain the truth thoroughly, he is very smart in this regard, and the implication in this is that Jia Yidao has no other good chips, and it can even be said that there are no chips.
If you don't have a bargaining chip, you can negotiate with a tough opponent, which is a bit self-inflicted, and if you don't arrange it well, it will also hit the morale of your own side hard.
In terms of possible threats to life, the fourth master has already thought about it, since fate is like this, then accept it calmly, if he escapes at this time, even if he goes to Sichuan, he will have no face to see Wu Shaogang, or even to see his family.
"Fourth master, in terms of money, as long as the Mongolian Tatars ask for it, they can agree to it for the time being. . . ."
At this time, he was still thinking of using money to settle the situation, Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court thought of the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, how could they care about a little bit of money, and after a chill in his heart, the fourth master couldn't help but speak.
"Wei Guogong's orders, his subordinates have remembered them, but they don't know when it's appropriate to go."
"The sooner the better, three days to prepare, three days later, we will set off for Xiangyang."
Sichuan, Chengdu Fucheng, Jiedu makes the yamen.
The letter written by the fourth master is already in Wu Shaogang's hands.
"Father-in-law, Mr. Hao, Cao Wengang, Lord Zhang, according to my analysis, the fourth master must have taken on the responsibility of jumping into the fire pit this time, and sent an envoy to Xiangyang on behalf of the imperial court to negotiate with the Mongolian Tatars."
Li Tingzhi shook his head slightly.
"It's all at this time, I don't want to organize a large army to rush to Xiangyang, I don't want to break the siege of the Mongolian Tartars, and the determination to resist the city of Xiangyang, but I am thinking about what matters to negotiate, and I don't know what good bargaining chips Jia Yidao can come up with, Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court tried their best to attack Xiangyang City, the purpose is to take Xiangyang City, so that the court will lose the barrier of defense, how can it be okay to give up, it seems that the fourth master went to negotiate this time, it is a little dangerous."
After Li Tingzhi finished speaking, Hao Jing also spoke.
"Xiaguan and Lord Li have the same opinion, this negotiation will not lead to anything, and it is not good that Hedan will kill the envoy sent by the imperial court to express his determination to completely capture Xiangyang Fucheng."
After Hao Jing finished speaking, Wu Shaogang looked at Zhang Wenqian.
Zhang Wenqian pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Xiaguan thinks that there may be other situations, the Mongolian court is most worried about the change in Sichuan, if Hedan puts forward the request of Sichuan, for example, let the army withdraw from Jingzhaofu Road and other places, it is also possible, of course, this possibility is very small, it is estimated that even if the court agrees, the Mongolian Tartars will not evacuate. . . ."
Before Zhang Wenqian finished speaking, Li Tingzhi's face changed slightly.
"Lord Zhang, I'm afraid that the imperial court will not dare to have plans in this regard, and how can the imperial court be able to call the shots on the affairs of Sichuan."
Cao Wengang, who had never spoken, spoke at this moment.
"Xia Guan thinks that such a possibility exists, if the imperial court is not sick and rushed to the hospital, it will not think of sending an envoy to Xiangyang to negotiate, this is a very naΓ―ve matter, how can Kublai Khan and the Mongolian Tartars negotiate with the imperial court, their purpose is to take Xiangyang Fucheng, and then attack the entire south, but since the imperial court sent the envoy, it will use the Sichuan side as a bargaining chip, and as long as the envoy can complete the task of negotiation, everything can be agreed, so that the Mongolian court can kill two birds with one stone."
Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, looked at everyone, and slowly spoke.
"As an envoy, the fourth master negotiates on behalf of the imperial court, and the overall situation can still be grasped, otherwise it is impossible for Jia Nidao to make the fourth master an envoy, although the fourth master said in the letter that Jia Nidao does not agree to let him become a messenger, but I conclude that it will not take long for Jia Nidao to let the fourth master make an envoy on behalf of the imperial court."
"What we need to consider is whether to put on a posture of attacking Henan Road when the Mongolian Tatars besieged Xiangyang Fucheng and plundered Jinghu South Road, so that we can also support Xiangyang, if we don't do anything, it is indeed unreasonable, at such a critical moment, although there is no emperor's decree and the imperial court's edict, but the adults of the Manchu Dynasty must be looking at us to see what kind of actions we will have."
"There is no doubt that the difficulties we face are great, but at such a critical moment, we must overcome the difficulties in front of us, and one thing, we can also test the attitude of Kublai Khan and the Mongol court to see how they respond."

The imperial court and Jia Rudao can be said to have reached the point where the donkey's skills are poor, and they can't think of any good way to deal with it, Wu Shaogang saw through this, the river mussels competed, and the fisherman profited, Wu Shaogang was already the fisherman, but while being a fisherman, he also had to take action, so as not to be condemned too much, you must know that at such a critical moment, people's hearts are also very important, if it is because of the preservation of their own strength, they completely lose people's hearts, then it will be a little more than worth the loss.
