I have been talking to Zhang Li in the evening, this is the first negotiation after Wen Yanbo was appointed to the Privy Council by Renzong, and in general, Master Wen feels very good about himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Di Qing couldn't do it, just sent away those Liao people, Di Qing sighed, and shook his arm at the same time: "Hey, I used to think that you scholars only need to go here and move your mouth twice, but I never thought that these few hours will be more tiring than riding on a horse." ”

Wen Yanbo let out a slightly contemptuous post-nasal voice: "That's, how can everyone do national affairs?" Let's just say that this mouth is not easy to move, you warriors go to the battlefield to practice swords, we want to do things well and practice brains. ”

Di Qing heard the sarcasm in his words, but he didn't take it to heart. It is impossible for a general who can be a general to defend one side without a little open-mindedness.

Chen Yuan put away some of the materials on the table: "Sitting here is more tiring than sitting on the battlefield." On the battlefield, we can move and shake for a while. But when you sit here, you have to straighten your body from the beginning to the end, because we represent the Great Song Dynasty. Two, today is the first time the two of them have cooperated, and I am fortunate to be able to help the two of them, which is also fate. In this way, let's find a place to have two drinks, and I can count it as congratulating the two of you on your promotion, how about it? ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "You will save a lot, where is there a decent banquet in Zhongjing now?" If you want to invite me, set up a few tables in your villa when you return to Bianjing. ”

"Then the problem, as long as you are a master of Wen, you can do it anywhere. But I'm afraid that Lord Wen won't have time. The emperor has agreed to the plan I told the emperor to form a coalition army, so let's take advantage of the fact that the people from these vassal states and friendly countries are here, and hurry up to get things done. ”

Renzong had obviously explained this matter to Wen Yanbo, and Wen Yanbo nodded after hearing it: "Everyone else is easy to say, just let them participate if they are willing to participate, I guess most countries will not have an opinion." I have also met with the general of Chola who offered to lease their harbor as a base for our attack on Shiran. Although the general did not agree, he promised us that even if their emperor did not agree to this condition, he would provide us with material assistance. The key is the Mongols, and how they will join this alliance needs to be carefully discussed. ”

Mongolia is not yet a country, it is just one small tribe after another, and in the plans of the Song Dynasty, there is no intention to help the Mongols achieve unification.

However, if Murihe were to join the alliance, it would be tantamount to recognizing his status to all vassal states, and there might be a lot of trouble in the future. But now if Mu Lihe is rejected, the Song Dynasty cannot find a suitable reason.

It can't be said that when the Great Song Dynasty tried its best to get in touch with the Mongols when he was going to fight the Liao State, now that the affairs of the Liao State are done, he kicked the Mongols away, which is a bit not authentic.

Wen Yanbo's eyes looked at Chen Yuan, hoping that Chen Yuan could provide him with a solution to this problem. To his disappointment, Chen Yuan did not react to this.

The easiest way to solve the problem is to have Murihe ascend directly from the earthly immortal heaven. But this plan can't be said to Wen Yanbo, there are some inauthentic methods, the less people know about it, the better.

Chen Yuan diverted the topic: "The emperor will leave tomorrow, he will hand over the matter with the Liao people to the three of us, no matter what, we will sing a good show to the emperor." ”

Wen Yanbo and Di Qing thought this deeply, whether they were scholars or military generals, the two of them were in charge of the Privy Council for the first time, and neither of them wanted the first thing that Renzong gave them to be smashed by them.

Di Qing said: "Lord Wen, the last general thinks that the affairs of the Liao State still need a certain amount of military strength to solve, and then Yelu Nianglu still has nearly 400,000 troops in his hands, and whether these horses of his are expanding to the north or going south to disturb us, it is a big trouble. ”

Wen Yanbo nodded: "I also know, it's just that the number of our cavalry is far from enough, counting the people and horses of Yeli Yuqi and Xiao Hou Ye, our Great Song Dynasty is only seventy or eighty thousand horsemen now, and these people are thrown into the grassland, which really doesn't play a big role." ”

Chen Yuan thought for a moment: "You see, if we support Xiao Tali, will we be able to contain Yelu Nie Gollum?" ”

Wen Yanbo's face immediately changed color when he heard this: "Chen Shimei, are you crazy?" Although it is said that there are no formal forms and means on the battlefield, Xiao Tatari is now playing the banner of the emperor of Liao, and if we support her, we will inevitably be scolded by the world. ”

Now he and Xiao Tatari have turned enemies into friends, but there are many people who can't accept it, Chen Yuan shook his head and said: "That's the kind of thing between countries. I don't think our biggest enemy right now is Xiao Tatar, but Yelu Negrune. If we want to deal with the problem of the Liao State well, these two forces of the Liao State must exist at the same time. ”

His head leaned towards Wen Yanbo: "Lord Wen, only a fight between them is the most beneficial to our Great Song." But now that he joins without strong foreign support, Xiao Tatari is not Yelu Gollum's opponent on the battlefield at all. ”

Wen Yanbo's eyes stared at Chen Yuan, he didn't speak for a long time, and finally shook his head: "No, even if I agree to this question, those ministers in the court will not agree." ”

When Chen Yuan heard him say that even if he agreed, he knew that there was a door to this matter, so he immediately smiled: "There is no need for Lord Wen to play a twist for the court, if we want to support Xiao Tali, we don't need to spend so many twists and turns, as long as Lord Wen closes one eye, and the rest of the things are left to be done in the future." ”

Wen Yanbo glared at Chen Yuan, but Chen Yuan didn't care about his righteous and awe-inspiring eyes at all, and the smile on his face never retreated: "Of course, if your lord has other ways to solve the problem of Yelu Niglu in a short time, he should say nothing." ”

Wen Yanbo's eyes turned to Di Qing, but Di Qing didn't look at him. Whether or not he can solve Yelu Gollum means that Wen Yanbo can successfully complete his first task, and now the situation of the whole chess game is very favorable to Da Song, and the other party only has Yelu Gollum's wild horse still has the ability to attack and defend.

At this time, Renzong let himself play this chess game, whether he ended the battle quickly and unexpectedly, or was killed by that wild horse and won a miserable situation, which is very important for his future. Now that Xia Zhu is old in the court, whether he can become the pillar of the new generation is the key to whether he is outstanding or not.

After a long time, the righteousness in Wen Yanbo's eyes slowly subsided, and with a final sigh, he left first with his things, without saying a word to Chen Yuan.

The smile on Chen Yuan's face bloomed even more intensely: "Brother Di Qing, have you seen it, this is the scholar, for their interests, they will also give up their positions and principles." ”

Di Qing walked in front of Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, what should we do next?" ”

"First of all, let them fight, only when they fight, we have a chance to make a fuss."

Di Qing said: "There is no way to let them fight. Jerüne Gollum has some skills, and I don't think he will meet Xiao Tarli now. ”

"Yes, Yelu Gollum is very smart, he knows that our Song army is not capable of killing the grassland at this time. So he retreated there to recuperate, intending to get up again. But he has a weakness, that is, Yelu Zongyuan. ”

Chen Yuan carried his head: "Yelu Gollum lost his mother when he was a child, and it was Yelu Zongyuan who brought him up, and the relationship between their fathers is very good, so it is impossible for him to allow Xiao Tali to die in our hands." ”

Di Qing understood what Chen Yuan meant when he heard this, and the Song army did not have enough ability to exterminate Yelu Niglu. But the Song army had the ability to defeat the current capital of the Liao State and go to Beijing. As long as the Song army surrounded Shangjing, Yelu Nianglu would inevitably send troops.

However, Di Qing had doubts about attacking Shangjing: "Brother Chen, if Yelu Nie Gulu really comes with 400,000 Liao people, we don't have enough troops to win this battle." However, Shangjing is too far away from us, and if we use a large army, we will not be able to keep up with the supplies. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "I know. So we will inevitably lose this battle, let's lose if we lose, we have won the Liao country so many times, we should lose it once. The Song army asked Li Shibin to lead the team and send out 40,000 cavalry, and I will let the current 50,000 Mongols around Mu Lihe accompany him, so that we have 100,000 cavalry. The troops of Goryeo were responsible for transporting the supplies, and Wang Hui was asked to personally escort them. ”

Di Qing's heart trembled, he knew that Chen Yuan was going to kill Wang Hui and Mu Li together with the hands of the Liao people. Is that just like that, Li Shibin did this? Did Chen Yuan want to kill Li Shibin as well?

Di Qing looked at Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan's face smiled: "You go and talk to Li Shibin, this time, he must come back alive." After we lost this battle, there were many things to do, and we also told everyone that the Song Dynasty was not invincible, we did not have the ability to solve the grassland, and it was necessary to negotiate with the Liao people. ”

"Jerynegol won't let go of this opportunity, I'm sure I'm sure."

Di Qing smiled bitterly: "You have made me miserable, I just became this new official, and you asked me to arrange a battle that must be lost, I think, my future must not be as bright as Lord Wen." ”

Chen Yuan haha said: "Your future is not bright, doesn't Brother Di think that if you win those scholars, you will be able to accept you?" It's a big deal that you come back and be your general, and there's nothing good about that privy deputy. ”

There is another problem that needs to be solved urgently, that is, the imperial palace in Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom.

The battle in Nanjing was very fierce at the beginning, and the most brutal street fighting destroyed Nanjing, including their emperor's palace was destroyed by Wen Yanbo's artillery fire. But Zhongjing is different, Zhongjing is equivalent to peaceful acceptance, all the facilities inside are intact, and the palace of the emperor of Liao has not been damaged even a brick or tile.

But there is only one emperor, and there cannot be two palaces. Regarding how to deal with this imperial palace, the Wen ministers of the Song Dynasty expressed their own opinions. Some people say that it was built as Renzong's palace, and some people say that it was slightly changed to be used as an office for officials.

Chen Yuan's idea was the most peculiar, he wanted to pay for the purchase of this palace as a memorial place, open to all the common people of the Great Song Dynasty. And employ some palace people from the former Liao Kingdom in it, as long as the people are willing to spend money, they can come here for sightseeing.

In his opinion, this is an absolutely good tourism industry, at least in recent years, there will be an endless stream of Song people who come to see the Liao Imperial Palace.

This concept was obviously a bit too avant-garde, Renzong criticized Chen Yuan severely, and in the end, in Chen Yuan's extremely nostalgic eyes, half of this magnificent palace was demolished, and the remaining half was given to those officials.

It's not okay to keep it, it's exceeded.
