Han Li is in a dilemma at the moment, there are more and more Song troops on the opposite side, if he retreats at this time, they are behind to cover and kill, how can he retreat with his whole body? If you want to fight yourself, you really can't be sure of victory, and Zong Han's shameless person has already begun to withdraw his troops first, throwing the mess of peace talks to himself. If there were peace talks, that Yan Wang would have dared to play with himself when he was at a disadvantage, but now he is strong and strong, and he will not talk to himself!

"Lord Liu, how to clean up the current situation?" Han Li couldn't think about the essentials, so he asked Liu Yanzong to ask for a plan.

"Second prince, the people of Shangjing are in turmoil, not only the Xi people, the Bohai people, but also the Jurchen tribes are also involved, it seems that the situation is grim, and the lower officials have also repeatedly treated the captives well, cultivated their fields, and stabilized the hearts of the people, but the important ministers in the court are all opposed, which has caused such a catastrophe!" Liu Yanzong sighed and said that after he returned to Jin, he did his best to assist in making suggestions, most of which were adopted by Emperor Jin, but only the matter of captive people as slaves was greatly opposed, which was also caused by the greed of the Jin people.

"Lord Liu, I can't wait for this kind of thing, it's a big deal to be able to withdraw the army smoothly at the moment!" Han Li waved his hand impatiently and said, plundering slaves and wealth is the foundation of their country, and no one is willing to go into battle without them.

"Marshal, our army is now deep into the hinterland of Hebei, although Zhending has been captured, but Zhongshan, Qizhou, Shenzhou and other prefectures and counties are still in the hands of the Song people, if there is an order from the emperor, they can cut off the retreat of our army at any time, so to withdraw safely, peace talks must be held, so as to limit their movements. In addition, the Song people must not be informed of the civil unrest in Beijing, and all those who go south must be detained, and those who know must also strictly keep secrets. Don't leak it, not even among our soldiers! Liu Yanzong seems to have made a calculation. Kankan said.

"Now that our army has been newly defeated, King Yan is arrogant. How can you make peace with us at this time! Han Li shook his head and smiled bitterly, he had already thought of this section.

"Otherwise, King Yan is a courtier after all, and he also needs to be controlled by the emperor, so we don't talk to him, but send an envoy to Bianjing to talk to their emperor, we can induce him to take advantage and appropriately lower the conditions, such as not taking the Yellow River as the boundary. They can not cede the three towns, the former can be used to demarcate the Yellow River and be vassals, and now they will feel that they have taken a great advantage and agree to our conditions! Liu Yanzong said.

"If this is the case, we will not gain nothing by spending a lot of money and food, and dispatching so many soldiers and horses?" Han Li said unwillingly.

"Marshal, we said we didn't want land, but we didn't say we didn't want money! The Song emperor was cowardly. The minister is afraid of war, so we can use this to ask for the New Year's coin, let the Song people pay tribute every year, and wait until the people are pacified. My Dajin Iron Cavalry can go south again at any time, these lands and populations are still our Dajin, and now they are only temporarily stored in the hands of the Song people! Liu Yanzong smiled and said.

"Hmm. Then according to the adult's plan, let Wang Xiao go again! Han Li nodded and said...

November 30th. The decree of the Pilgrim arrived, in view of the current situation. With the prince of Yan Zhao Taquan Hebei two roads Xuanfu envoy, commanding the Hebei army and horses, presiding over the peace of the Jin State, ceding Zhongshan, Taiyuan, Zhending three towns, to the year coin, this time did not mention the Yellow River as the boundary, let alone the matter of proclaiming the minister. Zhao Ta smiled when he saw it, but he smiled a little helplessly, although the emperor's eldest brother was a little bolder, but his steps were still a little smaller, and he had to cede the three towns under the big victory, wouldn't he laugh off the big teeth of the Jurchens!

However, Zhao Ta also saw from the word 'power' that the emperor was still deeply wary of himself. In the late Tang Dynasty, officials were sometimes sent to take charge of different things in the name of regents, judges, and magistrates. The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty system, and developed it, and the Taiwan, provincial, temple, prison, and other institutions of the imperial court were all officials without a fixed number of officials, without a full-time job, although they had an official name but did not hold their posts, and there was no special edict, regardless of the affairs of the institution, they were called Jilu officials. In addition, officials were assigned to take charge of the affairs of various departments, and the local governors were also appointed by the officials of the Jing Dynasty in the name of dispatch. In the Song Dynasty, dispatch referred to the actual position held by an official, also known as a "ministry officer".

Yuanfeng restructured and changed the situation that did not match the name and reality, but it was not thorough, and there will still be dispatches in the future. The name of the dispatch often contains the words "judgment", "knowledge", "right", "straight", "test", "check", "lift", "point", "sign", "supervisor", etc. There are also some dispatches that do not carry these words, such as county orders, pacification envoys, etc. Officials are promoted according to seniority, and even if they do not serve as dispatchers, they can receive salaries according to their ranks, and dispatches are transferred and promoted according to the needs of the imperial court and the talents of officials. Therefore, it is not the rank that really determines the actual power, but the dispatch.

The word 'power' in Zhao Ta's appointment shows that he, the Xuanfu envoy, is a temporary acting official, not a real position, and it also shows that his brother asked him to lead the troops just to block the mouth of Youyou, and the arrangement made is only an expedient measure, which may be revoked at any time. And Zhao Ta also knew that even if he was given this official, he would not be able to control all the soldiers and horses in Hebei at all, but he was just the commander in name, Li Gang was the second!

As soon as the power was in hand, Zhao Ta ordered in the name of the Xuanfu Division to let Zhao Ye send 300,000 stone military rations, and sent troops to Shunde Mansion for reinforcements, and at the same time transferred troops and horses from Xiangzhou, Cizhou, Weizhou, Huaizhou, and Zhaozhou to help. Within five days, 100,000 soldiers and horses were gathered, which had already surpassed the Jin army on the opposite side in terms of numbers.

Zhao Ta is very satisfied, with this official, he can do something justifiably, much better than the result he expected before, and he can have a good time with Han Li, but he is not in a hurry to talk to Han Li now, he has to stretch him hard...

………

"Marshal, the envoy we sent was sent back by King Yan!" Han Li was not holding the hot stove and waiting for the envoy to deliver the good news, when suddenly his subordinates came in and said.

"Oh, he dares to intercept the envoys of my Dajin Kingdom, he is too bold!" Han Li was not angry, and roared.

"Marshal, before the lower official reached Cizhou, he was surrounded by the people there, and we were not allowed to pass, and they wanted to kill us!" As soon as Wang Wei entered the big tent, he knelt down and cried.

"Then you're going to run back?" Looking at Wang Wei, who was disheveled and had a blue nose and swollen face, asked.

"Marshal, no, it was King Yan's subordinates who rescued and sent the lower officials back, otherwise they would have been beaten to death by those untouchables!" Wang Xiao said with a sob.

"Why did he save you?" Han asked in confusion, King Yan's style of acting was very different from his previous performance, which made him very puzzled.

"Xiaguan once had a relationship with King Yan, when he was besieged, he led the troops to pass, he said that the two countries did not cut the troops, persuaded the people to rescue Xiaguan, Xiaguan heard that there were people in front of him to intercept and did not dare to go back, so he could only return!" Wang Xiao looked at Han Li and said carelessly.

"King Yan is a good means!" Han Li sat down and said, waving his hand to let Wang Wei retreat, he knew where there was such a coincidence in the world, it was clearly the intention of King Yan, and all the passages had already been blocked, and the golden envoy would not want to pass over his territory unless he flew over.

"King Yan's move, this is killing two birds with one stone!" Han Li suddenly found that his opponent was not so simple, he did this, first, even if the court traced it, he could also block the mouths of those people in the court by the people; The second is to tell yourself not to bypass him and negotiate peace directly with the court, otherwise you won't be so lucky next time. When he put Wang Wei back, he also slapped himself fiercely, saying that he didn't understand the rules, and revenge himself for secretly sending people to attack and kill him, which was much more vicious and insidious than directly killing the golden envoy!

But the development of things is not just to intercept the Jin envoy, Han Li does not keep receiving reports, the Song army's reconnaissance cavalry everywhere, deep into the Ningjin and Zanhuang areas, and at the same time gathered in Qingyuan Mansion The Song army has reached 100,000 people, practicing diligently every day, as if they want to attack them, but they can't trigger it, which makes Han Li even more restless and can't guess the mind of the person opposite.

"Lord Liu, what does King Yan want to do, pretending to be a ghost every day, beating and not fighting, not talking and not talking, it can't be delayed any longer!" Han Li did not recruit Liu Yanzong to the tent to discuss matters.

"Marshal, don't be anxious, the more King Yan is like this, it shows that his heart is weaker, Li Gudu's losses in the first battle are not small, and most of the newly arrived soldiers are newly recruited and dare not attack, now the bluff is just to bargain with us in the peace talks, we only need to send troops to intercept and kill their scouts, and with color, their plans can be broken!" Liu Yanzong said that he saw that Han could not leave Li Gudu, and after the First World War, he was much haggard, and the huge pressure made him physically and mentally exhausted.

"Now go to Beijing to report a few times a day, urging us to return to the army, how can we calm down, Ben Shuai thinks that since King Yan refuses to come to talk, then we will come to the door to talk, how about it?" At this moment, the old nest was on fire, and Liu Yanzong also advised him to stabilize it, where could he bear it.

"Marshal, if we take the initiative to come to the door to negotiate peace, then we will lose the opportunity, and the momentum will be weak, and King Yan will definitely ask for a price, and then we will really get nothing and return empty-handed!" Liu Yanzong was taken aback, rashly negotiating peace would do no good, and with King Yan's cleverness, he would not let go of this opportunity.

"How about Ben Shuai? Killing his scout is just an itch in his boots, and it is difficult to move his roots, King Yan has been in battle for a long time, not those weak scholars, how can he be fooled and shake his heart! Han Li said.

"What the marshal said is very true, the Song army is mostly civil moderation, and there are many orders, and they are not subordinate to each other, and there must be a prison sent by the imperial court in their camp, as long as the king of Yan is defeated for a while, those people will panic and tell the Beijing division, at that time, the court issued an order to urge him to make peace, and we still take the initiative, but this battle must be sure to win!" Liu Yanzong saw that Han was on the verge of going berserk, and knew that he couldn't listen to his own opinions, so he let him do it brutally, so it was better to fight skillfully.

"Well, it works!" Han Li nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "If King Yan is not removed, it will be difficult to negotiate peace, as long as he dies, the Song army will be chaotic,!" He must not be allowed to live! ”… (To be continued......)
