Chapter 433: Invitation (I)

"Long-term?" Si'er didn't understand, Pang Ji took Li Wengui away, Fan Zhongyan was very unhappy, on the stomach tolerance, Fan Zhongyan was very good, this time he actually wrote to Zheng Lang to explain Fan Zhongyan's anger. Where is the long-term?

"Negotiate peace."

"Xian'er, although the soldiers are tired of fighting for a long time and the country is embarrassed, Yuan Hao has no king and no father, and the rebellion is on the side and kills my people. The whole country hates this person, and at this time, whoever advocates peace will make the whole country ridiculed, the history books will laugh at it, and future generations will spurn, I don't understand where it grows. Apricot said.

"Pang Ji's thoughts, how can you, an idiot apricot, figure it out."

Jiang Xing'er giggled, hugged her daughter, and asked, "Then what is his mind?" ”

"If you give something, you will get it. It's all because this head is difficult to open, and if you want to negotiate peace, you have to open the gap from the four ministers on the edge, except for Pang Ji, counting on officials, or counting on Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan, will they agree? Although Pang Ji got some infamy, he gave them the stairs down. Han Qi fought for merit, but Pang Ji gave up some fame and won the hearts of the people. ”

"Big lady, I understand, but Pang was famous for his upright ...... in his early years."

"Si'er, people will change."

"These people have such deep thoughts."

"What about the officials?" Huan'er asked nervously.

"Huan'er, don't be afraid, the officials are not moving like a mountain, what can I do in vain?" Apricot said.

"It's not that you are unlucky, once you do this, just like the border policy of our DPRK, you will be beaten passively, and the country will be strong, and these injuries will be able to recover quickly. If the country is not strong, it can even destroy the country. Defense and offense need to be converted, and appropriate offense, not seeking to open the edge, is also beneficial to the country, this is the golden mean of officials. The same is true for entering the temple, Lu Yijian has gone too far, and Qingchen hates it, but doing some counter-attacks appropriately is also a sign of self-preservation. It's just that if you don't move like a mountain, and the officials have made great achievements, there will be many people who attack, even if you go to worship the prime minister, it will be difficult to end up disgraced in the end. ”

"What then?"

"Xing'er, you don't have to worry, Han Qi is doing this to control people."

"The way to control people?"

"Exactly, people who do great things have their own strengths, but this way of controlling people is the most important premise. Some people, such as Li Shimin, can be literate and martial, and some are not good at martial arts, such as Liu Bang, but he can use people, so he gets the world. Cao Ying and Sun Quan are all tigers and wolves, and Liu Xianzhu made good use of talents and forcibly killed a place in the Three Kingdoms. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was trapped by the kings, and Zhou Yafu's thin waist battalion was ordered by the king not to be ordered by the king, so that Emperor Jing was happy and used it to command the three armies. Later, Zi You, immediately sent Zhou Yafu to prison. Zhou Yafu is still the same Zhou Yafu, but the shape and potential are different, so Zhou Yafu was reused before and then humiliated. This is the way to control people. ”

"Xian'er, that's a good point," Zheng Lang hit the case, and Cui Xian's words reminded him of Wang Anshi. Not only did he fail to do a good job in changing the law and underestimating the situation, but also this way of controlling people, which also failed to do a good job, which eventually led to the failure of the change and brought a series of evil consequences to the Song Dynasty.

Looking at Renzong and Shenzong again, Renzong Zhao Zhen seems to be cowardly and inactive, but he uses people well, and the cattle people of Zhao Zhen Dynasty are not less than those of Shenzong Dynasty, but the more detailed and quiet the court is. Shenzong seems to be eloquent and has a pioneering spirit, but he did not do a good job in controlling people, so a real party struggle was formed in his hands.

My own beautiful and somewhat cautious wife also underestimated herself. Thinking of this, he stroked her hair lovingly.

"I still don't get it."

"Han Qi wants to control officials, as long as he has this ability, officials can only be controlled by him. But if an official has skills, on the other hand, Han Qi can only be controlled by officials. Officials may not be able to control Han Qi, but Han Qi doesn't want to control officials. But this time to enter the DPRK, it will be very troublesome. ”

The four wives and concubines looked at Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang gave them a very vague answer, saying: "You don't have to think about it so much, you can't think of it, you can go to that step and that step." ”

It was freezing cold.

The colder it is, the more convinced a few people are.

Looking at the rolling clouds, Lao Chong said to his sons in Huanzhou: "It's really cold. ”

He had eight sons, the eldest son, the second son, the fifth son, and the youngest son, who were the most gifted, so he always kept them by his side and taught them carefully.

But he was very smart, and when he was on Jingyuan Road, he didn't dare to stimulate Zheng Lang, he had many sons, but Zheng Lang didn't have a son, and he was worried about what Zheng Lang would think. Therefore, he did not make an introduction, but he was very hesitant in his heart, especially the fifth sub-species is quite talented, if he can enter Zheng Lang's eyes, the future future is unlimited.

I don't know what to do for a while.

The doctor asked curiously, "Daddy, what's the difference?" ”

"It's not different, last year, Zheng Xianggong once said that last winter would be warm, and this winter there will be a big cold. Strange people, the ancients often passed down from generation to generation, learning is good to a certain level, can know astronomy, know geography, a certain has not believed, met Zheng Xianggong, I know that there is such a thing. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Seed Records and Seed Friendship are still young and don't understand much, and the other six sons all open their mouths wide.

"On New Year's Day this year, I want to let Xu'er, Diao'er, Ge'er and Yi'er go to Weizhou to visit Zheng Xianggong on behalf of a certain person." Chong Shiheng said.

He was very smart and knew that Zheng Lang had been in Jingyuan Road for a short time, but Zheng Lang didn't know about his sons before, and it was impossible to work behind closed doors, so he knew that his sons were quite talented. went to the capital, and it was difficult for him and Zheng Lang to have a chance to hand over, so he changed his mind.

"Daddy is ......," asked the kind hesitantly.

"Remember, it's just a visit, if Zheng Xianggong asks you, you answer politely, he is the same as Fan Gong, he is a real righteous gentleman, and he will not like it."

"Whoa."

The old man is very realistic, he doesn't dare to be like Fan Zhongyan's original wife Li, Xiao Zheng, I will hand over my two children to you. He is a scholar, and he is a military general, so he is not qualified to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but he can let Zheng Lang take a look, with his ability to know people, after his death, the family will have no worries.

This time, the old man thought wrongly, Zheng Lang has a way of knowing people, his sons just don't introduce it, and Zheng Lang will use it in the future. Especially his favorite fifth sub-species, does Zheng Lang dare not use it?

……

It's getting colder.

Here's where the fun happens.

The imperial court sent an envoy to the Khitan to report the situation, Yuan Hao, a thief, first invaded Fulin Road, and then used more than 100,000 troops to invade Jingyuan Road, but was fortunately defeated by our dynasty soldiers, and almost all the 100,000 Western Xia troops were wiped out.

If you don't dare to show off your might with this arrogant little brother, you also have to say that our Song Dynasty is not weak, and you Khitans are still honest and have our fortunes, and abide by the covenant.

At the same time, we also urged the Song Dynasty to increase the 200,000-year-old currency, and you Khitans also promised to mediate for the two countries. Our Song Dynasty didn't want to destroy the Western Xia, but what happened to this time and again violated our dynasty? Where is the mediation of your Khitans?

And now and now, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty also feel that they have face, this is not an alliance under the city, and the history books are ashamed. It was the Song Dynasty that cherished the people, so they quit the war and retreated.

Of course, there was no danger in this mission, and it was far less dangerous than Fu Bi's mission, and the pressure was huge. Not to mention that the envoy a few years later made Zhao Zhen miss it...... The great victory of Jingyuan Road also spread to Khitan.

The scale of the battle was very large, and the Khitans no longer stood idly by, and finally focused their attention on the northwest, so the Khitan monarchs and ministers quickly got the news.

Scare them.

Liao Xingzong summoned Yeluren and Liu Liufu first, and the two made meritorious contributions to the Song Dynasty. At this time, the Khitan is making a bowl in winter, the location is in a plain area at the confluence of the Huang River and the Tu River, also known as Guangpingdian, the terrain is flat, except for the elm willow, its land is sandy, and the winter month is slightly warmer. Its place is in the southeast of Khitan Shangjing, the north of Zhongjing, slightly closer to the Song Dynasty. It is also the main distribution area of the Khitan aristocracy, so when the bowl is made in winter, the Liao lord is resident here to meet with the ministers on state affairs, or to meet with the envoys of various countries, mainly the envoys of the Song Dynasty, by the way, by the way to the Northern Song Dynasty and the tribute of the countries, and in his spare time he goes out to hunt and practice martial arts.

It was not far from Youzhou, and the two ministers were quickly recalled.

I am familiar with Zheng Lang and unfamiliar with him, I have heard his name and read his handwriting, but among the Khitan ministers, only Yeluren and Liu Liufu have had a relationship with Zheng Lang.

Liao Xingzong said the situation.

Liu Liufu said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Song army has always been very tenacious, otherwise the Holy Emperor would have destroyed the Song Dynasty long ago." The reason for the victory in this battle was of course that the Song army could not be underestimated, and it was also the small national strength of the Western Xia and the work of one person. ”

"You mean ......"

"If there is no Zheng Lang, Song Jun will not want to achieve this great victory."

Liu Liufu was only half right.

The Song army could defeat the Tanguts, but the Khitans might not be able to defeat the Tanguts. It's not that the Khitan is inferior to the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, depending on how the battle is fought, where it is fought, if the Western Xia invades the Khitan, how many people will have to die, but once they enter the core area of the Western Xia, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Khitan, if they are not careful, they will also be defeated miserably.

It is with this contemptuous mentality that the tragic fate of the Khitan is about to begin.

Liu Liufu's statement also represents the thoughts of most Khitan ministers, and even more so the thoughts of ninety percent of the Han people living in the Khitan.

Zhao Kuangyi waved his army north, thinking that as soon as the Song army arrived, the Han people in Youzhou would open the city gate and raise their hands to welcome the Song army to enter, but his idea was wrong. The Khitans have had close ties with the Han people since the Tang Dynasty and do not reject the Han people. The most famous example is Han Derang, Xiao Yanyan, who was admired by Zheng Lang, lived a de facto married life with her lover Han Derang after her husband's death, and the Khitan nobles did not think that Han Derang was a Han, so they made any moves, and even Liao Shengzong himself treated him with fatherly courtesy.

But after all, they are Han Chinese, and there are very few Wang Ba Lambs like Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who are loyal to the Khitan, but they also do not want to go to war with the Song Dynasty. As long as the Song Dynasty does not come to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, these Han people want to live in peace with the Song Dynasty the most.

Getting Zheng Lang to the public is for the Khitan, and for the private is also for the Han people. The more capable people the Han people have in the Khitan territory, the greater the right to speak. It is with this mentality that Liu Liufu has the following paragraph: "Your Majesty, once there is no such person in the Song Dynasty, there is no need to be afraid in our dynasty." As for this person, it's only a few years ......"

"Hahaha......" Liao Xingzong laughed and said, "Liu Aiqing, you have done a good job, this person deserves to be 100,000 elite soldiers." Those monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were incompetent, and they actually agreed with you. This is the vast land of the emperor, and I am in the middle of the great Liao. ”

Liu Liufu said again: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty sent an envoy, not to say that it will arrive in our court, and our dynasty will also send an envoy, with the intention of cousins, by the way, to inform the Song Dynasty that our dynasty has withdrawn its troops from Youzhou, and let them send the Na Yuan as soon as possible." ”

"It's business."

"Also, the minister has a plan...... Liu Liufu said in a low voice.

"It's not a national propriety."

"Your Majesty, what is the state gift? Don't look at that rich man, there are very few of these courtiers, most of the ministers are greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as we don't send troops, they will be very happy, and etiquette doesn't have to be too restrictive. It is Zheng Lang's son, loyal to the Song Dynasty, my dynasty should show goodwill, otherwise my dynasty to get this son, just like Cao Ying to get Guan Yu and Xu Shu, can not be used by our dynasty, it is not beautiful in the end. ”
