At the end of July, as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, the fourth master secretly arrived at the camp of the Mongol army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Despite the prior notice, the fourth master, a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty, was still tied up and escorted in the barracks, and he did not see anyone for two days, and he was only able to eat one meal a day.

Hunger and humiliation have occupied the mind of the fourth master, the two countries do not fight each other, this is the rule, why he, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, suffered such humiliation, of course, the fourth master does not know, the Mongolian marshal Hedan sent the messenger into the city of Xiangyang Mansion, encountered greater misfortune, if he knew about this matter, the fourth master might be worried about his own life.

However, this kind of treatment has already shown that this negotiation will be extremely difficult, and it will be difficult to achieve any practical results.

The fourth master no longer cares about resentment at the moment, and what he thinks about every day is how to deal with this negotiation and how to leave the camp of the Mongolian army safely.

Hedan never imagined that the Great Song Dynasty would send envoys to negotiate, such an arrangement seemed ridiculous to him, whether it was the emperor or the Mongolian court, would never negotiate with the Great Song Dynasty at such a critical moment, the emperor's purpose was to capture Xiangyang Mansion City, completely open the door of the Great Song Dynasty, and more than three years of attack, consumed a lot of money, paid a heavy price, how could he shake hands with the Great Song Dynasty court.

He Dan was not prepared in the slightest, and he did not want to negotiate with the envoy sent by the Great Song court, but under the persuasion of his staff, he still decided to meet the envoy sent by the Great Song court.

He Dan has already written a note to the emperor, reporting the matter of the envoys sent by the Great Song Dynasty, how to deal with the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and waiting for the emperor's will, but at such a moment, He Dan will not have a good face to the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty.

The fourth master was taken to the house, but this time he was not tied, but there were two more guards around him, they were holding steel knives in their hands, and they were eyeing each other, afraid that if the fourth master made a slight mistake, he might be slashed and killed.

When He Dan entered the house, he didn't look at the fourth master with his eyes.

The fourth master forced himself to calm down, and what happened in the past few days has made him understand that if he is a little careless, his life may be gone, you must know that the Mongolian Tartars kill people without blinking, but they don't care about him, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Hedan walked to the top and sat down, the Mongolian sergeant beside the fourth master kicked the fourth master's right leg with his foot.

"My handsome man is here, don't kneel down quickly...

The fourth master didn't look at the sergeant beside him, but looked up at Hedan, who had an arrogant face.

"When I was ordered to send an envoy, the emperor instructed that if I saw the emperor of the Mongolian court, I could kneel and bow, and if Prince Hedan could represent the emperor of the Mongolian court, then I would kneel and bow."

After speaking, the fourth master sorted out his official uniform and prepared to kneel.

"Wait, you are the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Ben Shuai doesn't dare to accept your kneeling, come, watch."

Soon, a sergeant moved a chair.

He Dan did not dare to accept the etiquette of the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty to bow down, this was originally intended to hit the prestige of the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was easily cracked by a few words, which couldn't help but make He Dan pay attention to the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty in front of him.

You must know that the emperor is not at ease with everyone, this point is very clear to Hedan, if he accepts the kneeling salute of the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and it is transmitted to the capital and the palace, I don't know how much discussion it will encounter.

After the fourth master saluted, he sat down slowly, looking calm.

He Dan looked at the fourth master and spoke indifferently.

"As an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, you don't want to lead the troops to contact the crisis of Xiangyang Mansion City, so you come to my military camp, what is the matter."

Hedan's words made the fourth master feel bitter, the so-called weak country has no diplomacy, the Great Song Dynasty court has been in absolute passivity, precarious, as the fourth master of the envoy, is to ask for others, so what can he have the confidence to speak, but since he is a messenger, what should be said is still to say, as for whether the Mongolian court agrees, that is another matter.

"Lord Hedan, this time I sent an envoy to the Mongolian court by the emperor's holy decree, just thinking that the Mongolian court and my Great Song court should be reconciled, and the two sides should not fight each other, so it is also beneficial to the Mongolian court. . . ."

Before the fourth master finished speaking, a sneer and sneer appeared on Hedan's face, and the sergeant beside the fourth master did not hide the disdainful smile on his face.

Before the fourth master finished speaking, Hedan spoke again.

"Interesting, you want me to withdraw my troops, then what conditions can your emperor promise me?"

The fourth master swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, groaned slightly, and then spoke.

"I don't know what kind of conditions the prince of Hedan is thinking...

Hedan laughed.

"The conditions are very simple, let the Song army stationed in Xiangyang Mansion open the city gate and surrender, so I can promise not to continue to fight each other, I don't know if you, the envoy, can agree to come down."

The fourth master closed his eyes in pain, he had already expected this situation.

It is impossible to give up Xiangyang Fucheng, once Xiangyang Fucheng is lost, then Jingnan Road and Jinghu South Road are all in danger, and will even be completely occupied by the Mongol army, and Lianghuai and the capital will also be in great danger, which is equivalent to giving up the Great Song Dynasty.

"Lord Hedan, I came to negotiate on behalf of the emperor and the Great Song Dynasty this time, and the first condition is that the two sides cease to stop fighting, and under such conditions, I can agree to any conditions put forward by the prince on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court."

At this point, Hedan had lost interest, and if it weren't for the advice of his staff to meet with the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, he wouldn't have come at all.

"Okay, then you, the messenger, just wait and see, and after my army captures Xiangyang Mansion City, let's talk about the conditions."

With that, Hedan stood up.

The fourth master had already found out that the situation was wrong, and in the brief conversation, he felt that Hedan did not have the slightest sincerity, and he was not ready to negotiate at all, and he might be forced to meet him for some reason.

If Hedan leaves, he, the messenger, will be in danger.

"Prince Hedan, if you can't agree to the conditions put forward by my Great Song Dynasty, then I will go back to restore my life, and ask Prince Hedan to have a clear attitude."

He Dan looked at the fourth master and laughed again.

"Why, you, the messenger, are you afraid of death, afraid that I will kill you?"

"The prince is wrong, since I dare to come here, I have put life and death out of the way, to say that I am not afraid of death, it must be a lie, the ants are still stealing life, but I am the messenger of the Great Song Dynasty, I have a mission, no matter whether the negotiation is successful or not, I need to return to the court to restore my life, if the prince is not willing to let me go, please ask the prince to send a messenger to my capital of the Great Song Dynasty to inform the decision of the Mongolian court, so I can be regarded as a mission."

He Dan looked at the fourth master with a calm expression and nodded slightly.

Mongolians all revere heroes, especially heroes who are not afraid of death, which is innate, and the attitude of the fourth master makes Hedan a little emotional, there are still such people in the court of the Great Song Dynasty.

"I won't kill you, but don't think about leaving right away, just wait for news in the barracks."

Hedan is gone, and the fourth master can't keep it.

When the sergeant escorted the fourth master to the barracks, his attitude was better, and he did not force or insult him.

Back at the barracks, the fourth master was quickly placed in a separate barracks, eating, drinking, and Lazar.

From this moment on, the fourth master had nothing to do, he just stayed in the barracks every day, and was not allowed to go out for a step, otherwise he would be reprimanded or even punished, such a boring time, it was difficult to pass the time.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, on this day, the fourth master was taken into the city again and entered the house.

Hedan's expression was even more grim this time, looking at the fourth master, and he opened his mouth word by word.

"You go back and tell the Great Song Imperial Court, unless you open the gate of Xiangyang Mansion City and welcome my army to enter, you don't need to talk about anything else, and at the same time, you also have to tell the Great Song Imperial Court that Jingzhaofu Road, Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road and Fengxiang Road are all the territories of my Mongolian Imperial Court, and they will be returned to my Mongolian Imperial Court immediately, I will not kill you, let you go back and reply to the Great Song Imperial Court, but you always need to leave something."

Before the fourth master could react, the four sergeants beside him rushed over and pressed the fourth master to the ground.

A sergeant raised his steel knife in his hand, and the blade slashed through it.

The fourth master's left arm quickly separated from his body.

The severe pain made the fourth master faint.

When he woke up, the fourth master felt collapsed, and the severe pain was still tormenting him.

An arm is gone, and that's the end of being a messenger.

The physical pain tortures the fourth master, and the psychological pain is even more difficult to heal, Hedan's move must have been approved by the Mongolian court, and the meaning of the Mongolian court has been very clear, and it will not accept any negotiation matters at all, and the purpose of the people is to destroy the Great Song Dynasty.

The five subordinates who accompanied him were all killed, leaving only the fourth master, who was already disabled.

At this moment, the fourth master made up his mind, returned to the capital, and immediately wrote a letter to the Sichuan side, clearly putting forward a request, asking to go to Sichuan and not stay in the capital.

The physically disabled fourth master, he himself is unable to walk, he was escorted by the Mongolian sergeant, took the carriage out of the camp of the Mongolian army, the carriage curtain is very tight, the fourth master can not look outside, by feeling, he feels that the carriage is going in the direction of Lianghuai, the severe pain makes the fourth master faint often, I don't know how many days later, he suddenly felt that the carriage stopped, and there was no sound around.

The one who opened the curtain of the carriage was actually an official wearing the official uniform of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing such an official, the fourth master gritted his teeth and spoke.

"I'm a scholar in Shangshu Province, this is my official, I met a thief, all my subordinates were killed, and I was sent to the capital immediately. . . ." (To be continued.) )
