Chapter 27: Concentricity
Li Gu ferry, Han Li didn't look at the countless flags fluttering on the river beach, and was secretly annoyed in his heart, the tens of thousands of Song troops who suddenly killed quickly occupied the ferry, cutting off their way south, and what was even more annoying was that the handsome flag was actually the banner of 'Fengzhao and Peace', this fucking is here for peace talks, or is it for war?
"Tell the Song people, just say that Ben Shuai came to pick up the peace envoy and go to the camp!" Han Li ordered in a silent voice, and immediately a general ordered a team of cavalry Pegasus to go to the front of the Song army to spread the word, he wanted to see how the Song people had such courage to argue with him.
It didn't take long to hear the Song camp medium cannon repeatedly, the gate of the village opened, a team of rangers rushed out, in the Jin army array to go to cruise, and then a team of archers rushed out to shoot the foot, and then the army of horses out of the camp, a swallow-shaped formation, more than 10,000 foot soldiers holding spears and shields in front, crossbow troops in the back, each wing has more than 1,000 cavalry to protect the two wings.
"Please Marshal Han of the Jin Army can't step forward to answer!" After the formation was completed, one of the Song generals Pegasus came to the front of the formation and shouted loudly.
"The beggars are still so rampant!" Han couldn't leave behind a member of the generals who scolded angrily, picked up his bow and arrows and shot at the Song generals in front of the formation, only to see the Song generals on the opposite side fall backwards in response, and a burst of cheers broke out in the Jin army.
"There is no indecency!" The attacked Song Jun stood up from the horse, it turned out that he grabbed the arrow in his hand, shouted and picked up the bow in his hand and shot the arrow back, the arrow meteor The golden general was still stunned The arrow arrived, it was too late to dodge, the arrow hit the throat, and he fell off the horse with a scream, Han Li was not in a hurry to call someone to rescue, but the blood gushed out of the man's mouth, and he lost his breath after two convulsions!
"General Xiao is mighty!" The drums of the Song army camp were agitated, and the troops cheered in unison.
"Please answer Prince Yan before the battle!" Han Li didn't look at Song Jiang leaving safely, and the anger in his heart was depressed. But there are bad attacks, and their own people hurt others with secret arrows first. He deserved to be shot by someone else's backhand, but he didn't say anything about the loss of his own general. also let Song Jun suppress his momentum, but he could only temporarily suppress his anger and call people back.
The two sides agreed to start the first round of negotiations before the battle, and Han Li and Liu Yanzong were on the one side, and Zhao Ta and Wang Yun were on the other side, each leading fifty guards to the middle of the two army formations.
"Prince Yan is really a young hero!" Although he hated Zhao Ta to the core, Han couldn't help but praise when he saw it.
"The marshal has an overreputation, and this king is ashamed!" Zhao Ta looked Han up and down, and immediately replied.
"Since Prince Yan is here for peace talks, why did he bring a large army here?" Han is not the first to make a problem.
"Huh. What is the marshal here for? Zhao Ta asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm here for peace talks!" Han Li couldn't help but say that this is not nonsense, and replied without hesitation.
"Oh, since the marshal is also here for peace talks, what is behind the marshal?" Zhao Ta said with a little surprise.
"Ahem..."Of course, those people behind him are not brutes, Han Li coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "This commander is leading his troops here to welcome the prince to my camp!" He gritted his teeth and said, with a hint of threat in his words.
"Thank you, Marshal, but this king is naturally timid. I heard that the marshal led tens of thousands of troops to burn and loot all the way to meet the king, and he was even more afraid, so he had to gather some rough men from the countryside on the road to be brave, is the marshal less courageous than me! Zhao Ta said unhurriedly.
"According to this official. You have no sincerity in leading the troops to negotiate peace, are you not afraid that our Dajin Heavenly Soldiers will trample you into powder? Zhao Taming's sarcasm made Han Li repeatedly deflated, annoying Liu Yanzong behind him. He jumped out and yelled.
"Which one are you?" Zhao Ta glanced at him and asked with a pout.
"This official is the Privy Council of Jinnan, and Liu Yanzong is also!" Liu Yanzong straightened his chest and said.
"Oh. What a dog name! Zhao said with a smile.
"How can you use foul language and insult your own officials? Don't the Song people know the etiquette? Liu Yanzong was angry, pointed at Zhao Ta and asked.
"Etiquette, you also know etiquette! Don't you know that 'a good horse is not worthy of a second saddle, and a good woman does not marry a second husband', no wonder the books have been read in the belly of a dog, and it is not uncommon to say such things! Zhao Ta's smile did not change, and he said with a smile.
"Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to do things! What does a shameless child know? Liu Yanzong knew that King Yan was ridiculing him for betraying Liao, which was his sore spot, and he was immediately annoyed.
"Learn from 'birds', of course do 'bird' things, and you're still a flat-haired beast!" Zhao Ta snorted coldly.
"You..." The other party secretly changed his concept and scolded himself again, but Liu Yanzong is a scholarly heirloom, and he has read a lot of books, but he has never encountered such an unreasonable master, he can't scold with dirty words, and he hasn't learned crooked reasoning, so he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Do you want to say that you are a brute, a fox and a tiger, a fox who forgets his ancestors, and he doesn't know how to be honest, it is better to fall off a horse and kill him, right?" Zhao Ta said for him with a smile.
"King Yan should stop talking too fast, let's go back with me to talk with tribute!" Han couldn't see Zhao Ta say a few words, and Liu Yanzong's face turned pale with anger, and he trembled, knowing that he was not an opponent, and said coldly.
"If you don't go, you won't be able to come back if you go!" Zhao Ta said with a smile still on his face.
"No, when we finish the peace negotiation and sign the contract, we will let you go back!" Han Li was stunned and said, saying in his heart that this Prince Yan is really a cheerful person, and he is outspoken!
"King Su hasn't come back for half a year, and you have repeatedly broken the contract, and you actually secretly sent people to attack and kill this king, I really can't believe you!" Zhao Ta still had that cynical smile on his face and said leisurely.
"My Jurchen people are the most faithful, and their words have always counted, King Yan don't talk nonsense, if you are afraid of death, you will say that you are afraid of death, why make excuses!" The more Han looked at him, the more angry he became, and said angrily.
"This king is afraid of death, isn't the marshal afraid of death, otherwise why bother to wear armor, it's not afraid of death, if you are really not afraid of death, how about returning to the camp with me!" Zhao Ta pointed to his camp and said.
"You... Why did Ben Shuai go back to the camp with you, I'm not a hostage! Han's fire was so amused that he rushed upward, and almost lost control and went back with him, "You slandered Ben Shuai for sending people to attack you, what evidence do you have, if you can't get it, Ben Shuai will definitely not bypass you!" ”
"Oh, scare the king!" Zhao Ta pointed at Han Li and said with a smile, he waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately stepped forward and handed over a leather bag, he reached out and touched it, and took out a token, "This token is in the marshal's army, they took advantage of the heavy snow to attack this king's convoy in the west of Ye Town the day before yesterday, this is the captured token!" ”
"This..."Han Li didn't look at it to determine that it was sent by himself, but he didn't want to bear the charge of attacking the peace envoy and sabotaging the peace conference, "What can a token say, Ben Shuai sends out dozens of them a day, maybe they were lost and picked up by you!" ”
"Hehe, it seems that the second prince is not very smart, to tell you the truth, the attackers have all been captured by this king, and the name of the leader is Hu Liai, and his confession is that he was ordered by the marshal to attack and kill this king, and the first person will be promoted to a thousand commanders, and a reward of 100 taels of gold, right?" Zhao Ta threw the skin bag to Han Li and said.
"You actually killed them all?!" Han Li didn't examine the number plate in the leather pouch and exclaimed.
"Yes, if they haven't been eaten by wolves, you can still collect their corpses!" Zhao Ta said with a sigh.
"If you dare to kill my golden warrior, this commander will definitely want you to wait for your life!" Han Li didn't see the number plate, and heard Zhao Ta call out Hu Liai's name and knew that it was true, thinking that five hundred people were killed, he was taken lightly, and he couldn't suppress the fire anymore, pointing at Zhao Ta and yelling.
"Hmph, there are more than 10 million Jurchens who died at the hands of this king, if you want to ask for your life, just come and take it, this king is waiting!" Zhao Ta returned to the horse and said, leading people to leave, Han Li didn't wait for anyone to stare at a loss, this Prince Yan is too horizontal, he doesn't have the consciousness of being a hostage at all!
"Second Prince, in view of your violation of the peace agreement and the attack and killing of the envoys, we have already played my emperor, please decide!" At this time, Wang Yun stepped forward and said.
"Lord Wang, when we wait until the Yellow River is over, we won't be bounded by the Yellow River, and please inform your emperor!" Liu Yanzong said viciously.
"Then this condition will wait for you to cross the Yellow River!" Wang Yun said coldly, beating the horse to catch up with the prince and leaving.
"Let's go!" Han Li didn't look at himself, the Song army guards swallowed their saliva, watched King Yan and the others leave, and said, secretly wondering why the Song people suddenly became tough, could it be that they were ready!
………
Zhao Ta refused to go to Jinying as a hostage under the pretext that he was attacked, and Wang Yun and Nie Shan were also frightened in Cizhou, knowing how unpopular the peace talks were among the people, and feeling that Wang Yun saved their lives by relieving them in Cizhou. The current situation is that the three of them are tied to a rope.
So everyone jointly played to the emperor, showing what they saw and heard, explaining that the current Jin army was going to cross the Yellow River and could not be stopped by the peace conference, and the attack on King Yan showed that this was a trick of the Jurchens, deliberately creating an incident, creating an excuse for continuing to attack Bianjing, and asking the Holy Majesty to make a decision, to talk or not to talk.
And Zhao Ta understands the harm of the alliance under the city, even if the Jurchens really withdraw their troops according to the peace agreement, but the price paid by the Song Dynasty is by no means as simple as just ceding the territory, the war reparations, and the annual coins will be a heavy burden, and these burdens will still be passed on to the heads of the people, and they will be given year after year. Then the Great Song Dynasty, which has lost half of the country, will be overwhelmed financially, and it will not be a few years before it dies to foreign enemies, and it will also die in civil strife!
Zhao Ta said this truth to everyone in the mission, they are not stupid people, of course, they also understand that at this time, according to the conditions of the Jin Army, the peace is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, so in the end it was agreed, even if the peace agreement cannot be all according to the conditions listed by the Jurchens, and to fight for the result of the good Lu, there will be a battle, it depends on the prince...
