Chapter 142: Surrender
Zhang Fang nodded his head and thanked him, and then said to Yang Lianxing: "Since the people of the country don't know, then you might as well tell the people of the country in the future!" Since I learned that the Mongolian army was about to attack your country, I immediately set off to Lizhou Road, and immediately mobilized the elite of the Song army in the whole territory of Sichuan, totaling more than 100,000 troops, and have stationed troops in Xihezhou, Tianshui Army, Chengzhou and Fengzhou. And this time, we are the senior minister who personally supervised the teacher, so we can definitely ensure that nothing goes wrong!
But if the NUC people don't agree, then we won't wait for the NUS to reply! Rather than letting the land of Hanzhong be occupied by the Mongolian Tatars, so that the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty here were slaughtered by the Mongol army, it is better for us to recapture it first, after all, this place is also the old land of our dynasty, and it is natural for us to take it back! However, we are not far away, so we will make a big move, so we will send the next to persuade the people of the country! โ
After hearing the news, Yang Lianxing's head slammed into three circles, and now he is already sitting on pins and needles for the sake of a Mongolian army, and with his troops, he is not far from death to deal with the Mongolian tractor army alone, if things are really as Zhang Fang said, then his Fengxiang Road can be said to be completely finished!
Think about what Zhang Fang said is right, the reason why the Southern Song Dynasty acted abnormally this time and informed him in advance of the news of the Mongol attack was actually preparing in secret, and since the other party came to persuade him to surrender, then he was basically sure that he could occupy Fengxiang Road, otherwise they would not have made so much effort to come over and persuade themselves to surrender, if they were unable to resist the Mongol army after surrendering, Fengxiang Road would still be occupied by the Mongols, and they would not have to do it at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info 100,000 troops, this is a huge force, it is said that Tuo Lei led the troops into Shaanxi this time, but only brought more than 30,000 Mongolian troops, if Zhang Fang did not deliberately exaggerate the strength of the Song army, with so many troops of the Song army, it should be able to stop the Mongolian army. After hearing this, Yang Lianxing's heart was completely alive, but he still couldn't express his position immediately, and after hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "This matter is not a trivial matter after all!" Please let me think about it and then reply! Come on, first arrange a place for Mr. Zhang, treat him properly, and no one should harass Mr. Zhang to rest! โ
Zhang Fang saw that Yang Lianxing had basically been moved by him, and he had to finally make up his mind! got up and thanked Yang Lianxing and said, "Since this is the case, then I won't disturb the people of the country below!" Our senior minister told us to leave three days for the people to think about it and let the people make a decision, and if the people still can't make up their minds after three days, then our army will not wait for the people of the country any longer! We will enter Fengxiang Road on our own and fight a decisive battle with the Mongol army, and if anyone stands in our way, our army will be destroyed!
In addition, I might as well reveal a little more news to the people of the United Nations, that is, at present, even the Sakya Pandita of Tibet has gone to Lizhou to visit the high minister of our dynasty, and intends to unite the Tibetan tribes to merge under the jurisdiction of our dynasty, and our dynasty has built a Buddhist temple for him in Lizhou for him to live in and preach Buddhism! Just wait for the high-level minister to return to Lizhou this time, and the final agreement can be reached!
Please also ask the people of NUS to do it themselves! Thank you for your hospitality, and I said goodbye next! โ
After saying that, Zhang Yiyi turned his head and strode out of Yang Lianxing's guest hall, and followed a Yang Lianxing's personal entourage to arrange accommodation for him and his entourageใใใใใ
Yang Lianxing opened his mouth wide and looked at the back of Zhang Fang's departure, this series of words was like a blockbuster if there was one at that time! But it seems that there was already such a ** as the earth-shattering thunder at that time! Generally, Yang Lianxing's head was dizzy, and he couldn't react for a while, and he even forgot to send one to Zhang Fang. After a long pause, Yang Lianxing calmed down, and hurriedly beckoned another subordinate to follow: "You also heard what the Song envoy said just now, don't say it, hurry up and find out, whether what he said is true, during this time, the official ignored the affairs of the Song people, and it is expected that someone in the market already knows some news!" Hurry up and check it out! Come back and report to me! โ
The entourage hurriedly took the order, turned around and ran out of the mansion, and began to follow Yang Lianxing's instructions to check whether there were any of these things that Zhang Fang said...
And Yang Lianxing was like an ant on a hot pot, restless in the palace, waiting for his subordinates to bring him back news.
waited until the evening, and the subordinate who was sent out hurriedly ran back, and as soon as he saw Yang Lianxing, he immediately said, "My lord! The little one has already investigated what Song Envoy said in the market, and most of the people who passed from the direction of Lizhou spread these things in the market! What the Song envoy said should be true, a large number of Song troops have been stationed in their Guanwai states in Lizhou a few days ago, although it is not clear how many troops there are, but the number is definitely quite a lot, and they are still increasing troops towards Guanwai!
Moreover, it is said that the affairs of the Tibetan people are not false, and the Sakya Pandita who is quite famous among the Tibetan tribes has indeed arrived in the Song realm, and the Song people have built a large Buddhist temple for him in Lizhou for his mission! โ
Yang Lianxing gasped, sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time, his mind was chaotic, thinking about what Zhang Fang said today...
He crossed his fingers and counted the power that could be called on his hand, and the conclusion he came to was that he couldn't support it, whether it was the Mongolian army or the Song army, he couldn't stop any of them, in short, the Fengxiang Road under his jurisdiction could only have one result, that is, it was occupied. After coming to this conclusion, he went on to wonder who should take it? This problem didn't bother him too much, because he was familiar with the Mongols' style of acting, their Mongols have always been ferocious, as long as they occupied Fengxiang Road, then the local soldiers and civilians in Fengxiang could only wait for the blood bath of the Mongols, and the Song people would be much better, because after all, the Song people still treat them as compatriots, even if the military discipline is poor, they will not treat the people here like the Mongols, so this is easy to say...
Then the next thing is the question of whether to surrender, since he was transferred to Shanxi two years ago as the envoy of Shanxi Jiedu, his family wealth and family have basically moved from the Central Plains to Shaanxi, once he does not surrender, no matter who is attacked here, then there will only be one ending waiting for him, that is, he is determined to have no way to live, and his children are either slaves, or they are also burned with him, as for the family wealth, there is no need to think about it!
It is good for him to surrender, but the Mongolian Tartars did not give him any promises, once he surrendered to the Mongols, then his family and property are likely to be insecure, but the Song people promised to let him be an official as well, and also ensure the safety of his family and property, this matter is very easy to judge...
After making up his mind, it was already the third watch, but he still beckoned his subordinates to immediately recruit a few of the most trustworthy staff to his house, closed the door and began to discuss secretly.
Zhang Fang took more than a dozen of his guards to live in the post house of Fengxiang Mansion very comfortably, and was entertained by Yang Lianxing's delicious food and drink, quietly waiting for Yang Lianxing's reply, although there were many Jin Jun watching over them and not letting them leave the post house for half a step, but Zhang Fang was not too nervous, and enjoyed the food, wine and beauties that Yang Lianxing gave them all day long.
After waiting for two days, Yang Lianxing sent someone to invite Zhang Fang into his mansion again, but this time he did not invite Zhang Fang to the mansion, but invited Zhang Fang to his home.
As soon as Zhang Fang arrived in front of Yang Lianxing's mansion with his attendants, Yang Lianxing immediately greeted him from the inside, and welcomed Zhang Fang into the mansion with a smile on his face, and directly brought Zhang Fang to a side hall.
Yang Lianxing saw Zhang Fang this time, his attitude took a 180-degree turn, he was very humble everywhere, and as soon as he entered the side hall, he immediately introduced these people in the room to Zhang Fang, it turned out that these people were basically some officials under Yang Lianxing, and everyone held important positions in Fengxiang Road and Lintao Road.
Zhang Fang is also very polite to meet these people one by one, after Yang Lianxing introduced, he sent Zhang Fang to the upper position and sat down, although Zhang Fang refused to sit in the upper position on the grounds of his humble official position, but he still couldn't stand the persuasion of Yang Lianxing's gang, and was forced to sit down in the upper position. . . .
Although it was dark after the banquet, Zhang Fang immediately took more than a dozen of his guards and rushed to the direction of Chengzhou overnight under the escort of two hundred golden soldiers.
When Gao Huaiyuan saw Zhang Fang, after listening to what Zhang Fang said, he immediately ordered the scribe to take out some blank edicts, write the names of the people mentioned by Zhang Fang, and directly write the official positions according to their order, and handed them to Zhang Fang.
Zhang Fang didn't even rest for a moment, so he got on his horse again, galloped back to Fengxiang Mansion, and handed over these edicts covered with the jade seal of the Great Song Emperor to Yang Lianxing and others.
Yang Lianxing was relieved to take this edict from the Southern Song Dynasty court, but two officials were full of suspicion, holding the edict with their names written on it and asking, "Why did Lord Zhang return here so quickly with these edicts?" โ
The implication is actually to doubt the authenticity of this edict, because under normal circumstances, the appointment of officials like them at least has to go through many procedures, first of all, they must be sent back to the Song Dynasty's Jingshi and presented to the emperor for inspection.
And Zhang Fang's time from leaving Fengxiang Mansion to coming back was a day and a half, even if he could fly, it would be impossible to get the edict with the jade seal so quickly and return here, so it is inevitable that some people will doubt the authenticity of this edict.
"Huh! You must be wondering if the edict in your hands is fake! Don't worry! This edict is definitely a genuine edict, and the jade seal on it is definitely our holy jade seal, and it can't be fake!
This time, our Gao Shu Xiang entered Sichuan in person, and he had already been ordered by the Holy Lord, so he could act cheaply, so he brought a lot of such blank edicts, as long as Gao Shu Xiang agreed, these edicts were filled with names, and they were true! So don't worry! Zhang Fang immediately explained to them.
After listening to Zhang Fang's explanation, Yang Lianxing completely relaxed, so he thanked Zhang Fang again and again, and promised to act according to their agreement, and at the same time stuffed Zhang Fang with a lot of gifts, but Zhang Fang refused them one by one.
And Zhang Fang handed over several boxes of Song Dynasty official uniforms to Yang Lianxing and others, and they respectfully accepted them.
