Chapter 259: All in a hurry

The next day's negotiations were still unhappy, Cha Ge asked for a truce before negotiating, and Zhao Ta insisted that Western Xia must give up Xingzhou, otherwise he would insist on fighting, and sent troops across the river to bombard Shunzhou, blowing up a gap in the city wall, Shunzhou town guards abandoned the city and fled, and the Tibetan tribes fled to Xingqing Mansion. Brother Cha had no choice but to meet Zhao Ta again in the evening, as for what they talked about, because only the two of them did not know. The next day, the Song army promised a ten-day truce, and Cha Ge returned to Xingqing with the mission, and the two countries temporarily ceased war...

Although it is close to the end of the year, but Xingqing Mansion seems miserable and miserable, there are few pedestrians on the bustling street on weekdays, even some people are in a hurry, the soldiers of the Xia Army continue to patrol back and forth, and the door is closed after nightfall, and the people who have surplus food at home are all dotted with fine softness, listen to the movement outside, and prepare to flee once they hear the sound of cannons, only the lights in the various temples are not extinguished, and the sound of chanting does not stop day and night.

"This son is too deceitful, is it really easy for me to deceive Daxia!" Miyagi Cheng'an Hall is the daily office of the Xia Lord, at this moment there are only Li Qianshun and Brother Cha and a few servants, Li Qianshun listened to Brother Cha's report and was furious, and shouted with a few cases, the hall and the outside of the hall were solemn, and no one dared to say anything.

"Brother Huang is angry, this son is more than this, please see that this is the main point of the collegiate discussion, as far as the minister knows, he has sent someone to report to Bianjing, if he gets the approval of the Song Emperor, it will be based on this!" Brother Cha waited for Li Qianshun's expression to soften slightly, and took out a copy from his sleeve and gave it away.

"This son is so vicious, this... This is going to kill me in Great Xia! Li Qianshun looked at it, his hands trembled and he could barely scoop up the concerto, and he was excited for a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Brother Huang, please calm your anger. This son has a very big tone. As far as the minister knows, he has requisitioned nearly 100,000 people in the right wing of my Great Xia to surrender the army and surrender the various departments, and train them into an army, ready to cross the river to attack after the Yellow River is completely frozen. Brother Cha said.

"Are you sure you can defeat the Song army?" Li Qianshun looked at Brother Cha and asked, his face full of anticipation.

"Brother Huang, the younger brother is not sure of victory. Its army has the help of an artifact, and it can be a hundred, unstoppable, and the turbidity wheel river will be fought. 50,000 Xixia Erlang fought for only one hour, and then lost more than half; The 10,000 troops of Situ River have not yet been slaughtered, and they have no power to fight back! Brother Cha let him down and said with a sigh.

"The walls of Xingqing Mansion are high and the ditches are deep, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers are gathered, can't they stop him from fighting all the way?" Li Qianshun asked in disbelief.

"Brother Huang, the 50,000 Xiliang elite soldiers of Wei Ming An Huitong guarded Lingzhou City, and they only lasted for half a day before the whole army was wiped out, Xingqing can hold for a few days, and the younger brother doesn't know!" Brother Cha replied with a wry smile.

"And what else do you have?" Li Qianshun laughed miserably. This can't be beaten, the conditions of the peace talks are harsh, and he has no idea what to do with it for a while.

"Brother Huang, according to the detailed return placed by his brother, this son is greedy and lustful, likes money the most, and gathered tens of millions of assets when he was still young, and the beauties in the house are like clouds. Let the Zhe family sacrifice their daughter to take with them in the army! Brother Cha said, "In order to stabilize this son, the younger brother promised a lot of money in return, in exchange for a ten-day truce, I think as long as the heavy bribe may be able to turn around!" ”

"Oh. What conditions? Li Qianshun was refreshed when he heard this, and sat up straight. and commanded that a seat be given.

"The younger brother thinks that as long as we choose a beautiful woman in our royal family, and then send him a rich escort to marry him, he will get beauties and property, and the younger brother will mediate in it, and the two countries will be harmonious, and they will definitely be able to change their minds!" Chago said.

"Will he really say yes?" Li Qianshun asked.

Of course, when the courtier's brother talked with him privately, he made a tentative remark, and saw his eyes flickering, although he did not agree, but his mind was clear. Besides, he is the prince, and it is also a coincidence that he can govern the place this time, and he will be jealous of this time, and he also knows that after this war, he is only afraid that it will be difficult to get out of Beijing again, and he can only be an idle prince, so why not be happy to get beautiful women and property! Brother Cha said softly. …,

"Well, as long as you can keep Xingqing Mansion, what can you do if you give it to him!" Li Qianshun nodded and said, "Brother Chen's trip has taken a lot of trouble, but how can he trust you?" ”

"Alas, the younger brother is the king and the country, and it is right to put some effort into it, that kid is extremely cunning, how can he be gullible and detain the minister's brother's order hammer..."

"It's a trivial matter, but we have to plan first and strive for an early truce!" Li Gan said by the way, that kid is stupid enough, the hammer is a layer of gold on the surface, scooping in our hands is the hammer of the army, and it is an ornament in his hands.

"What the imperial brother said is extremely true, we don't have much time left, we have to take a three-pronged approach!" Brother Cha said and looked at the emperor listening carefully, and then said: "In the middle of the Great Song Dynasty, King Shu has sent a message, and the Song Emperor basically agrees to negotiate peace, and is discussing, so that Cai You has arrived in Taiyuan as early as possible, as long as the holy decree can be reached in Lingzhou in a few days, the deputy envoy Tong Guan has also been bought, and he will not get in the way; King Pu has also seen the Liao Emperor there, and has sent envoys to the Song Dynasty, although they have lost land again and again, but their remaining power is still there, and the Song Emperor will not dare to make a mistake; The rest of this Prince Yan is the most difficult to deal with, he is deeply favored by Emperor Song and obeys him, but as long as we work hard, we are not afraid that he will not give in! ”

"I want to make peace with Song this time and you are still the main envoy, supplemented by King Pu and King Shu!" Li Qianshun thought for a while and said, "In this campaign, we have lost the lands of Hedong and Henan, and I don't know if we can claim back the two states of Lingxia?" ”

"Brother Huang, I'm afraid it's hard to get your wish, this time you don't have to do it before, the Liao State is now weak, and the Song Dynasty in the couplet Jin Hua Liao is almost finalized, they will not put Liao in their eyes, now the Song Dynasty has Lingxia in the bag, Xingqing Mansion is also at your fingertips, let them withdraw from Lingxia..."

"Then we must also keep Lingzhou, the two countries take Qingling as the boundary and occupy Henan together, otherwise we will lose Lingzhou, Xingqing will be on its side, how can I sleep peacefully!" Li Qianshun said.

"Brother do your best!" Brother Cha reluctantly said, the east of Qingling is mostly desert and barren land, which cannot be cultivated, if it were you, I am afraid I would not agree, but at this time, I want to say that I can't, I am afraid that the imperial brother will have to scold himself for being incompetent, so he can only respond for the time being.

"Brother Cha, this matter is related to the life and death of my Great Xia, you must do your best, do not make the slightest mistake, and study these terms carefully, and then tell me the last one!" Li Qianshun said, and then asked him to step back.

"Prince Yan of the Great Song Dynasty has become the biggest obstacle to our peace talks, if we don't succeed, we can only get rid of him!" Li Qianshun saw that Brother Cha had a difficult face, understood that this matter was difficult, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, this son is a rare rival in my Great Xia for a hundred years, and it is indeed a great trouble to keep it!" Someone answered behind the layers of curtains in the hall.

"Steal, leave this matter to you, be careful, both the Privy Council and Li Liangfu have sent people to assassinate, but they have all failed, this time you must hit with one blow, you must not miss!" Li Qianshun said sharply.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates will live up to their mission!" The curtain shook imperceptibly, like a light breeze, and no sound came from it, apparently the man was gone.

......

According to the usual practice, as soon as it entered November, Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, began to prepare for the spring, the streets were full of lights, people came and went, business travelers gathered, and the colorful doors were also set up in front of the shops, even a beggar was difficult to see, and it was a scene of prosperity and peace in the eyes, and it seemed that the northwest was still fighting fiercely, and did not realize that the chaotic people in the southeast were attacking the city and plundering the land, and the officers and soldiers were defeated. …,

This year, the traitorous minister Cai Jing was dismissed, and after Wang Hao took over, he resigned from the harsh government and won the reputation of a good minister, so he naturally wanted to make this New Year different and make the emperor happy. Although Genyue is still in full swing of construction, but people with a heart find that there are many fewer flowers and stones from the southeast than in previous years, and there are a lot of soldiers and horses from the five cities and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion on the street to inspect back and forth, once they find that someone mentions the matter of the southeast, they will be arrested immediately.

In the palace, the emperor convened a few more deacons to discuss, after everyone saluted, the emperor gave a seat, and ordered someone to serve tea, everyone saw that the emperor was very happy today, and the body was naturally much more relaxed.

"Wang Shaozai, what's going on in the northwest?" Zhao Ji looked at Wang Huang and asked.

"Your Majesty, Captain Tong wrote to report, Xixia sent troops to attack Hehuang, Taiwei sat in Lanzhou, led the troops to resist, engaged more than ten battles, beheaded eight hundred, the two armies confronted each other in Renduoquan City, because of the large number of thieves, the Jingyuan Army and the Yan Army that attacked Lingzhou have been transferred back to Shaanxi to assist in defense, please adjust the salary!" Wang Hao said, "After Prince Yan led the Hedong army to capture Lingzhou City, he reorganized his troops and horses, attacked Jingzhou at night, destroyed the city, collected more than 3,000 accounts of the Tibetan Department, killed 100 leaders below the enemy chieftain, and more than 4,000 defenders of Jingzhou, and captured a lot of soldiers and property. Now he is preparing to train the army to surrender, recruit soldiers, and prepare to enter Xingzhou after the Yellow River is completely frozen! ”

"Tong Guan has hundreds of thousands of troops but can only keep Hehuang, and he has to ask for reinforcements and food, and King Yan has less than 50,000 people all the way to attack the city and regain Hedong and Henan, Chen soldiers under the enemy's capital, but he has never asked me for a soldier, a grain of grain and a bunch of grass, and I don't know how Tong Guan's battle was fought!" Zhao Ji teased.

"Your Majesty, although Prince Yan is brave, but also led the army to fight in recent years, has not replenished the food and salary soldiers, I am afraid that it has also reached the end of the strong crossbow, Xingzhou is a pseudo-capital, the soldiers are full of food, more than 100,000 elites are stationed in Jiancheng, and if the Prince Yan makes a mistake, will he not give up his efforts, and the minister thinks that it is better to negotiate peace as soon as possible while the Xixia is in a hurry!" Wang Hao got up and said, Yesterday, King Shu of Xixia sent a cart of jewelry to beg for peace as soon as possible, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't try his best... (To be continued.)
