Zhao Ta's occupation of Liaoyang City meant to put forward territorial claims as a boundary, in order to take the initiative in the next negotiations, but he did not expect that Wushu saw through his plan to reinforce from the waterway, blocked the mouth of the Liaohe River, surrounded Liaoyang City, cut off the water and land external contact, so that the tiger general could not sit in the lonely city, and became an enclave occupied by the Great Song Dynasty in the hinterland of the Jin army, but the situation here is different from that of Haolaidian.

The territory of Haoladian is vast, there is enough depth of defense, and the waterway is accessible, so it can get supplies and reinforcements at any time, and it is backed by the friendly country of Goryeo, and the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms is the younger brother of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is supposed to charge for the eldest brother at their doorstep and provide all kinds of help. Although the current Liaoyang City is controlled by the Great Song Dynasty, there are only 20,000 soldiers, and the land is only a few dozen miles away, and it is deep in the hinterland of the enemy country, so there is no room for maneuver at all, so it can only be defended.

Although Liaoyang has hoarded a large number of materials, there will be no risk of running out of food in a short period of time, but in the case of cutting off support, personnel and materials can only go in and out, and there are no planes that can carry out airdrop supplies in this era. When all the depletion is gone, the defenders have no choice but to surrender and live with the city.

If you want to rescue Liaoyang, there are two ways to go: one is to turn around and return to the army in Goryeo and reopen the road from Baozhou to Liaoyang, but now the troops in Goryeo have been fighting for three months in a row, and they urgently need a long rest and recuperation, and they also have to guard against the comeback of the Jin army, which is obviously inadequate; Another option is to mobilize the strength of the naval army to open up the waterway of the Liaohe River, but the waterway from the mouth of the sea to Liaoyang is hundreds of miles, and as long as the Jin army resists step by step and deploys defenses layer by layer, the naval army is limited by its combat methods, and it is difficult to open up the road without the cooperation of the army. This, in turn, requires the mobilization of a large number of land forces.

If he mobilized a large army to attack again, Zhao Ta thought that it would be better to mobilize all forces to destroy the country, but in this way, he would lose the development plan he had set for the Great Song Dynasty, and he could not affect the development of the Great Song Dynasty in the next few decades because of this incident. Therefore, Zhao Ta had to admit that the tiger general who was now trapped in Liaoyang City had become a 'hostage' in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty under the coercion of Wushu, and his own cleverness had miscalculated, and he also understood that the cost of resolving this matter politically was much smaller than using military solutions, so what he had to do now was to wait for the Jin State to make an offer......

Sure enough, Zhao Ta once again touched the pulse of Wushu, because Wushu is also a smart person, and he understands that although he temporarily grabbed Da Song's tail, it was only a small tail. If Zhao Ta abandoned the Song army occupying Liaoyang City with the spirit of a martyr and broke his wrist, more than 20,000 people would be just a drop in the bucket for the Great Song Dynasty, which would not cause much damage at all, nor would it shake the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty and the rule of Zhao Er, but would inspire the common hatred of the Great Song Dynasty against the Jin State. It is harmful to one's own plans.

On the other hand, the nail nailed by the Song Dynasty in Liaoyang City was too much for the Jin State. In order to besiege the city and prepare for the rescue of the Song army. The Jin State mobilized more than 100,000 troops and young and strong people to defend it to the death. Everyone stayed there and stared at the Song army day and night, no production, no farming, and the daily consumption of people eating horses and chewing was not a small amount, and after a long time, it also made Dajin unbearable, especially the loss of Liaoyang City.

And now spring ploughing is imminent. The fields around Liaoyang are not expected to be cultivated, but the millions of hectares of fertile land on both sides of the Liaohe River cannot be barren, but the hundreds of Song Navy warships cruising at the mouth of the Liaohe River are also unsettling, and they may one day go upstream. Fight again. In the face of a war that may break out at any time, how can people have the heart to plough the fields, but the season does not wait for anyone, and if it is delayed for a few more days, it will be missed, and what will be delayed is the harvest of the year.

In the tugging, Wushu first lost his breath and ordered people to restart the peace talks, but this time he learned wisely, and no longer mentioned the matter of peace, but discussed the matter of armistice. In other words, the Great Song Dynasty agreed, but the venue of the negotiations was changed to Pingzhou, which facilitated the exchange of envoys between the two countries and the rapid transmission of news, which was conducive to the rapid implementation of the results of the negotiations.

"Lord Zhang, your country's army has invaded our country's Liaoyang Mansion and has refused to retreat so far, my emperor has the virtue of a good life, although he trapped them, he can't bear to harm them, and please withdraw from the occupied land as soon as possible!" The two sides sat down, and Xiao Yi, the head of the Jin State, said straight to the point.

"Lord Xiao, don't distort the facts, it is precisely because of your siege that our army cannot retreat, if it is our army that invades Liaoyang Mansion as you said, how can we say that we have withdrawn." Zhang Suo smiled and said unhurriedly, although the two golden envoys seemed to be aggressive and sang loudly, he also saw that the two of them lacked confidence.

"Master Ma has made a strong argument, Liaoyang Mansion is the Tokyo of my Dajin, and it is an invasion by your country's columns, don't you want to return it?" Xiao Yi said dissatisfiedly.

"Hehe, it's Lord Xiao who is making strong arguments, Liaoyang Mansion was still the Tokyo of Liaoguo thirty years ago, did your country forget to return it?" Zhang Suo still said with a smile.

"This ...... How can this be the same day, the Khitan was brutal back then, causing turmoil in the world, and the people were not happy, and my Taizu's rebel army on behalf of Liao was a move that should obey the people in response to heaven! Xiao Yi argued.

"Oh, I see!" Zhang Suo nodded and said, "Goryeo has always been obedient to your country and pays tribute every year, but you imposed taxes and requisitioned young and strong, so that the people of Goryeo turned to my Great Song Dynasty to uphold justice, but your country sent troops to levy, and my Great Song Dynasty sent volunteers to assist at the request of the lord of Goryeo, and occupying Liaoyang Mansion can be regarded as a natural obedience to the people, right?" ”

"Lord Zhang, don't play with your tongue, aren't you afraid that my Dajin army will capture Liaoyang City and kill your army?" Xiao Yi is really difficult to explain this problem, after all, the Jin State sent troops to Goryeo first, and the Song Army was invited to send troops later, so he could only say ruthlessly.

"Hehe, although your country does it, now there are hundreds of warships of our Great Song Dynasty Navy gathered in Liaodong Bay, and hundreds of thousands of troops in Pingzhou, Linhuang, and Dading are waiting for the day, as long as my family saint gives an order, he can set foot on both sides of the Liao River and capture Huining!" Zhang Suo sneered and shook his sleeves and said, he knew that the current Great Song Dynasty was no longer the Great Song Dynasty that was slaughtered by the people more than ten years ago, and tens of thousands of Jin troops could come to the city.

"Lord Zhang is dissipated, don't blame Lord Xiao for being anxious, my emperor has already said that Song Jin is a country of brothers, and he once worked together to destroy Liao, and earlier because of some disputes of will, some misunderstandings led to military encounters, and now we should rebuild the old good and stop the army, so we will never hurt the noble army of Liaoyang Mansion!" Seeing that Zhang Suo turned his head to leave, Xing Guzhan, the deputy envoy of the Jin State, hurriedly pulled Zhang Suo to play a round road.

"It's okay, but your lord won't allow my army to leave for no reason, right?" Zhang Suo pondered for a moment and said, the emperor has a word first, and the tiger general is alone, and he can't ignore it, and he can make appropriate compromises, so he wants to hear the conditions offered by the Jin State.

"Lord Zhang is really happy, my family's holy meaning is that as long as your country is willing to restart peace negotiations with us, you can let him return to the country safely!" Xing Guzhan said.

Jin Envoy's words are beautiful, but Zhang understands that things will never be so simple, now there are not many good cards in Jin Guo's hand, and the tiger general who was held hostage is one of them, and there will definitely be additional conditions, and sure enough, they brought up the old things again, the main thing is the land, money and reopening of the field that the emperor guessed. There is no need for the emperor to refuse this matter, he refused on the spot, there is still a discussion on the matter of the field, the matter of the land is the most complicated, and it is not something that these envoys can do to the master, so they can only ask for instructions.

The Great Song Dynasty is very simple, since the contradictions in the early stage are set aside, there is no need to beat the drum and open another business, just abide by the agreement at the last peace meeting and take the respective actual control line as the boundary. Of course, the Jin State side didn't do it, and now that Liaoyang Mansion is under the control of the Song Army, wouldn't it be said that Liaoyang Mansion is all of the Great Song Dynasty. After several rounds of negotiations, the focus of the dispute was on the land dispute after the Battle of Goryeo, when the Jin demanded that the Great Song withdraw their troops from Goryeo, restore the original border between the two countries, and release the Song army that had been besieged in Liaoyang Province.

On the Song side, the two countries could establish a fraternal relationship, set up a field on the border, and withdraw most of their troops from Goryeo, but it was not convenient for the Great Song to intervene in the territorial issues involving Goryeo. As for the Lazydian area, it is an internal problem of your Jurchens, and the Great Song Dynasty is willing to mediate between it, and the Xuanzhou, Kaizhou and Liaoyang Prefectures on the north bank of the Yalu River occupied by the Song army can be returned to the Jin State, but the premise of achieving all this is that the King of Liao must be released to return to the country, otherwise everyone will grind their teeth......

After talking for more than a month, the conditions proposed by Wushu were basically not met, but he also knew that the victory at the negotiation table was premised on military victory, and during the negotiation, the Song Navy took advantage of the opportunity of the sinking ship to expose the river at low tide and sent a small boat to blow it up, dredged the mouth of the Liao River, and then captured Yaozhou, which controlled the mouth of the Liao River, and opened the door to Liaoyang Mansion.

The news of the loss of Yaozhou shocked the Jin government and the opposition, and the emperor Wanyan invited Wushu into the palace several times to discuss this matter, asking why he had not reached a peace agreement with the Great Song Dynasty so that he lost his land again and again, and let the Song army come to the city. And the courtiers also jointly wrote a letter demanding the release of the king of Tianshui County, and not giving the Southern Dynasty an excuse to use troops against the Jin State again, otherwise they would never have peace in the Jin State for one day, and the two countries would not be able to reach a real peace. If he was so reluctant to release him earlier, let their brothers fight and cause civil strife, so that Daikin could have a chance to recuperate.

The emperor's questioning, the courtiers' questioning, suddenly made Wushu feel a kind of crisis, the emperor became a psychopath, and the empress of the Jin State began to actively intervene in the affairs of the court. The large number of Han officials promoted by the young Son of Heaven, who was very admiring Han culture, including the Han officials of the original Liao State and the Han officials of the Song Dynasty, had formed a new force that could challenge the Jurchen power led by him in the court, posing a threat to his dictatorship, which forced the Wushu to readjust their strategy......
