Chapter 70: Tripartite Peace Talks

Ten miles outside Jinmingzhai, Li Yuanhao was pondering the next move in the camp, according to the tactics he conceived in his heart, they have been implemented smoothly so far, but these are all preludes, the most important thing is the last move, as long as it succeeds, it can reverse the strategic situation.

"Minister Zhang Xianwen, see the emperor!" Zhang Xianwen cautiously approached Li Yuanhao, who was in YY, and whispered.

Li Yuanhao looked left and right, only to find Zhang Xianwen who was bent in front of him, slapped him excitedly, and asked, "How are you doing your work?" Have our people sent it in? ”

Zhang Xianwen said weakly: "Back to the emperor, this person has been sent in, but there is one thing that is not quite what you think......

Li Yuanhao glared and asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Zhang Xianwen: "Back to the emperor, according to the information that the minister sent someone to buy from Li Shibin's soldiers, you arranged for those who surrendered to take the initiative to communicate with Li Shibin according to your instructions. At first, he was very happy, saying that he wanted to reuse them well, and wanted to attract more people to join him. But the situation changed the next day, I don't know what kind of nerves this Li Shibin had, saying that the Song army was replacing them with better equipment, and the people you arranged were sent to the Song army camp one after another to receive the equipment. ”

Li Yuanhao: "Isn't this good!" Song Junbai equips us, don't be in vain! ”

Zhang Xianwen: "Your Majesty, what you said is right!" However, here's the problem, it is said that those who were sent to collect the equipment never returned to Jinmingzhai......"

"How so?" Li Yuanhao asked rhetorically: "I kindly sent so many elite soldiers to Li Shibin, he is not easy to collect, how can he take the initiative to give them to others Song Guo?" Doesn't he understand that he can be where he is today because he still has some horses under his hands? Why would you do such a brainless thing? ”

Zhang Wenxian shook his head and said: "The specific situation is not clear, but I heard that Li Shibin's daughter didn't know when she hooked up with a high-ranking official of the Song Kingdom, and she only recently returned home, maybe it has something to do with this matter!" ”

"Bastard!" Li Yuanhao said angrily: "The woman I fancy is also robbed, it's just tired of it, and when I take Jinmingzhai, I will definitely crush the bones of this adulterer and adulteress!" ”

Zhang Wenxian was also frightened by Li Yuanhao's domineering. After waiting for some time, he asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, how do you think we should arrange it next?" Is it going according to plan? ”

"You're stupid!" Li Yuanhao pointed his head at him again, and waited until he was in a better mood before saying: "For today's plan, the first task is to get our internal should come back first!" ”

Zhang Wenxian: "The minister is very confused. Please advise the emperor! ”

Li Yuanhao touched his short beard and pondered for a while: "In this way, you lead the team to negotiate with Li Shibin, indicating that I want to reconcile with him......"

"Huh?" Zhang Wenxian was shocked: "Your Majesty, did we give up so hard after so much effort?" ”

Li Yuanhao: "Ah what! I asked you to pretend to negotiate and stabilize Li Shibin first. Dispel his guard, and hint that he should pay attention to preserving his strength and bring our people back from the Song army...... In short, you have to try to convince him, but you can't make him alert. Haven't you always flaunted your incorruptible tongue, and I'm going to see your performance this time! ”

Zhang Wenxian: "Your Majesty, the minister understands. The minister has one last question, I don't know what is the bottom line of this minister's negotiation? ”

Li Yuanhao: "There is no bottom line!" ”

Zhang Wenxian: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order!" ”

……

On the night when Zhang Wenxian led the team to Jinmingzhai with a white flag, Li Shibin threw his son in front of Zhi Weizheng.

Zhi Weizheng saw that it was getting late, and Li Huaibao was still running towards him. I was quite puzzled in my heart, thinking that Li Yuanhao was making trouble again, and before he could breathe, he asked, "Huaibao, what's going on?" ”

Li Huaibao waved his hand while picking up the teapot and working wildly, until the whole pot of tea was dry, and then replied: "My lord, my subordinates have eaten salty tonight, and I am thirsty all the way, and my throat is about to smoke!" Rest assured, nothing bad happens. It was Li Yuanhao who sent someone to ask for peace talks with his father, and his father asked his subordinates to report to you, what is going on? ”

"Peace talks?" Zhi Weizheng muttered, and then sat on the Taishi chair next to him and closed his eyes in contemplation.

Seeing this, Li Huaibao said again: "My lord." If you don't want to pay attention to them, then we'll continue to beat them, anyway, according to their state, we can't do a few fights and overturn them......"

Zhen Weizheng: "No! We can talk to them, but we have to talk about it here, and we have to see it. Do they really want to talk or do they have another purpose? ”

Li Huaibao: "My subordinates understand! The subordinate went back and told his father. ”

"Wait a minute!" Zhi Weizheng stopped him and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, it is late today, and it is not safe to hurry, so let's rest here for a day and go back tomorrow!" ”

Li Huaibao: "Yes, my lord! ”

Zhi Weizheng: "Do you know where your brother-in-law lives?" ”

Li Huaibao: "My subordinates know! ”

Zhi Weizheng: "Then the envoy won't arrange accommodation for you!" ”

Li Huaibao: "Thank you, sir! ”

……

"Bang ......"

After Zhi Wei was sending Li Huaibao away, he pondered there for a while, and was about to go back to the house to rest, when there was a sharp knock on the door.

Zhi Weizheng: "Who? ”

"My lord, it's me!" Xu Qing's voice sounded outside the door.

Zhi Weizheng: "Come in!" ”

Xu Qing slowly pushed open the door, saluted to Zhi Weizheng, and said with a smile: "My lord, my subordinates have taken the liberty to disturb your rest!" ”

Zhen Weizheng: "It's okay! Didn't your eldest brother come, don't you accompany him well, I'm afraid that this will do something? ”

Xu Qing smiled and said, "My lord, my subordinates heard that you plan to negotiate peace with Li Yuanhao, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhi Weizheng: "Yes! Any questions? ”

Xu Qing: "My lord, my subordinates think so, look at it!" We have mobilized so many troops and materials for this Li Yuanhao, and now we have fought a little bit, although Li Yuanhao is at a disadvantage, but it has not hurt his muscles and bones, let alone completely eradicated this hidden danger...... At this time, peace talks, isn't it a bit like that? ”

Zhi Weizheng smiled: "I didn't see it!" You kid actually cares so much about the war, the envoy sees that the emperor is too condescending to let you be the deputy captain of the special combat team, you should come to make the envoy a general! ”

Xu Qing: "My lord said he was joking!" The subordinates will also order the three-legged cat kung fu, you let me do it, but the general is embarrassed by his subordinates! ”

Zhi Weizheng: "Too modest! The envoy saw your posture quickly, and thought more than the generals of the envoy. ”

"Hey, hey!" Xu Qinghan laughed twice: "My lord, isn't my subordinate responding to the call of the saint!" The saint said that even if he was a soldier. You also have to learn to think like a general, your subordinates are still far away! ”

Zhi Weizheng: "You kid can do it!" This eloquence is getting better and better, and it seems that the Holy God has not let you read in vain. Now that you have lifted up the Holy One, the envoy will tell you the truth. You can't spread the word! ”

Xu Qing: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates won't say anything about killing me!" ”

Zhi Weizheng nodded: "Actually, don't look at us making such a big show, it's all for the saint to show those people in the government and the opposition, lest they shout all day long to teach Li Yuanhao a lesson." The true intention of the Holy One is to be the frontier army of this western region. Take the opportunity to adapt them. As for Li Yuanhao! The Holy One means that as long as he doesn't commit cheapness, let him wander for a few days. ”

"I see!" Xu Qing shook his head and had an epiphany: "My subordinates have been wondering, if you don't put the Blue Dragon Legion directly at the forefront, dare to do this!" ”

Zhi Weizheng: "It's good to know!" Although we don't want to fight now, we can't relax our vigilance, you have to stare Li Yuanhao to death, as long as the situation changes, the envoy doesn't mind doing the fake show! ”

Xu Qing: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

……

The next day, Li Huaibao rushed home to convey his father's instructions. Li Shibin has no opinion on this, anyway, he is not good at playing tricks, and it is very suitable for this job to be handed over to a good man with a mouthful of kung fu. Besides, don't underestimate a negotiation, this is also a thankless technical job, it's not good to offend people on both sides, anyway, I have a lot of credit now, and I also score points to the boss, isn't it!

As for Zhang Wenxian, when he heard Li Shibin tell him this, he was naturally reluctant in every way. I also want to pull Li Shibin to talk about my heart alone. However, Li Shibin carries a "big tail" with him wherever he goes, and this "big tail" often stares at him with her clever eyes, and Zhang Wenxian always meets her eyes. I felt chills all over my body. Fortunately, he didn't know that Li Yuanhao's first envoy was slaughtered by this thing without saying a word, otherwise I really don't know if he would have the courage to continue to stay.

In short, after Zhang Wenxian struggled for a while, he still had to agree to Zhe Weizheng's participation in the negotiations, of course, he couldn't help but disagree.

Since then, the three parties have started negotiations like "pulling calves". Zhe Weizheng didn't bother to entangle with him. got straight to the point and threw out three points: first, Li Yuanhao must immediately remove the emperor's title and continue to be the younger brother of the Song Kingdom; Second, the border troops should be withdrawn immediately, and the security of the Song State should not be threatened; Third, those soldiers who surrendered to Li Shibin should not want to go back, but should be regarded as compensation for Li Shibin. As for other things, Zhi Weizheng didn't get involved, so he let Li Shibin talk to him by himself, and fight for whatever benefits he wanted.

The whole process lasted for nearly half a month, and although Zhang Wenxian fought hard for every request put forward by Zhe Weizheng and Li Shibin, he finally agreed to these humiliating conditions very "helplessly". Of course, in the spare time of negotiations, Zhang Wenxian was not idle, running to Li Shibin from time to time, playing the emotional card for those soldiers who "surrendered", hoping that Li Shibin could take them under his command for the sake of his own clan, and not let them be humiliated by the Song people......

Not to mention, Zhang Wenxian's "heartfelt" words really moved Li Shibin. Li Shibin thought about it, but still found Zhi Weizheng, and said with a shy face: "My lord, there will be a reluctant invitation ...... at the end."

"Don't say it yet! Let Ben guess! Zhi Weizheng interrupted him and asked, "Well, do you want to go back to those surrendered soldiers?" ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Li Shibin blushed slightly.

Zhi Weizheng: "It was Li Yuanhao's messenger who made you change your mind, right?" After reading Ben, I underestimated him. ”

Li Shibin was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

"Hehehe......" Zhi Weizheng said with a smile: "If you didn't know what happened in the envoy's military camp, the envoy would have been removed by the saint a long time ago." ”

Li Shibin: "My lord, the last general has no other consciousness, but I think that some of what he said is quite reasonable, and you also know that we Qiang people are some relatively barbaric guys, and the last general is afraid that they will stay here and cause trouble for you." Then the last general is thinking, since we have all negotiated peace, let these soldiers be watched by the last general, and wait for their temperament to be polished before handing them over to you, do you think it's okay?
