Chapter Ninety-Four: Zhang Bangchang Gives a Gift
It is said that Yelu Zong looked at Bianjing from Wei County, and Yelu Zong looked at Bianjing from Cizhou, and the two people and horses formed horns with each other.
The two groups of men and horses set up camp in the east and west directions, fifty miles away from Bianjing.
When the spies heard the news, they immediately flew into Beijing, and Emperor Qinzong heard it, panicked, and summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.
When the civil and military officials heard that the Jin soldiers' army was heading straight to Bianjing, they were so frightened that they were flustered, where else were there any good ideas.
"Zhang Aiqing, what do you have a good idea? Come on. Qin Zong looked at Zhang Bangchang and asked.
"Your Majesty, when things come to this point, the only way is to go and make peace with them and agree to their conditions." Zhang Bangchang said.
"Yes! Now the Jin soldiers are menacing, the garrison army in the capital is not enough, and Li Gang and Zong are staying on the edge of the Yellow River and cannot arrive in time. The only way is to make peace. Wang Shiyong echoed.
"Peace? How? What if the golden man and lion opened his mouth? Do we all have to satisfy them? I am a great Song Dynasty, a great country, how can I give in to a small state? In my opinion, King Kang is a talent, and with him as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, he will lead the divisions of King Qin in various places to resist the enemy together with Marshal Li, and Jin Bingyan will not be defeated? The Jin soldiers came from afar, the food and grass were not enough, and after a long time, they would definitely retreat. The right prime minister Liu Yanzong came out of the class and said.
"To put it lightly, the Jin soldiers are now in the city, when will the divisions of King Qin from all over the country arrive, and where is King Kang now? By the time they came with their troops, the cucumbers and vegetables were cold. Zhang Jun laughed.
"Okay, don't fight, according to the widow's view, make preparations with both hands, on the one hand, send a special envoy to Jinying to make peace, and on the other hand, send someone to send a letter to inform King Kang and the envoys of various places, asking them to rush to Bianjing." Qin Zong said.
"The emperor is wise, only who to send to Jinying can show our sincerity?" Wang Shiyong asked.
"In my opinion, it is still Dazai-sama who goes to express the sincerity of our Great Song Dynasty to make peace." Zhang Jun said.
"Lord Zhang has a good relationship with the Jin people, of course it is most appropriate to send him, just don't sell the Great Song Dynasty." Liu Yanzong said lukewarmly.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is not competent, it is appropriate to invite Lord Liu to go, Lord Liu is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty and the first loyal minister, sending him to show more sincerity. I think Lord Liu will definitely raise the prestige of my country, and give the Great Song Dynasty to others without humility or arrogance. Zhang Bangchang sneered.
Liu Yanzong's face was flushed with shame, and he stepped aside and stopped talking.
"Okay, according to the widow, it is more appropriate for Lord Zhang to go. Zhang Aiqing, I have prepared some gifts, and you can bring them to the two marshals of Yelu Zongwang and Yelu Zonghan tomorrow, and I should treat them. Qinzong said.
"We're in command." Zhang Bangchang wanted to refuse, but as soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, he had no choice but to comply.
The next time, Zhang Bangchang brought wine, pigs and sheep, gold and silver treasures, came to Jinying, met Marshal Yelu Zongwang, and presented wine, food, gold and silver treasures, Yelu Zongwang saw it, and smiled.
"I don't know why Lord Zhang came this time?" Yelu Zongwang asked.
"I was ordered to come and make peace, and General Lao reported to the wolf master." Zhang Bangchang said.
"Got it, you go back and wait for news." Yelu Zongwang said with a nonchalant look.
Zhang Bangchang saw that Yeluzong had ordered the expulsion of guests, so he had to return to Kyoto with his entourage and explain the truth to Emperor Qinzong.
The next day, Yelu Zonghan's army advanced five miles and threatened to capture the little emperor alive.
When Qinzong got the news, he had to send Zhang Bangchang to Yelu Zonghan's camp to give gifts.
When Yelu Zonghan received the gift, he was naturally overjoyed, and he ordered him to camp on the spot.
On the third day, Yelu Zongwang pushed forward five miles and threatened to bring all the women of the three palaces and six courtyards back to the Huanglong Mansion as slaves.
The concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards were panicked one by one.
Huizong and Qinzong were even more anxious.
"Zhang Aiqing, you can go again and send them some gold and silver beauties, this time you must see their wolf master finish things before coming back." The old emperor Song Huizong repeatedly admonished.
Zhang Bangchang had no choice but to go to Jinying again.
When I came to Jinying, a spy had already reported to Yelu Zongwang, and Yelu Zongwang greeted him and asked, "What is the matter with Lord Zhang's coming this time?" What gifts to bring? ”
"There are many gifts, but this time it is for the wolf master, and I ask Marshal Yelu to be considerate." Zhang Bangchang said.
"You want to see the Wolf Lord? The wolf lord has not come yet, he is confronting your Song army by the Yellow River, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come for a while and a half. Yelu Zongwang said.
"Then I will personally go to the Yellow River and discuss with your wolf lord in person." Zhang Bangchang said that he would leave with his entourage.
"Stop, Lord Zhang, I'm sorry, I wronged you to stay here for two days first, and then go back when the wolf master comes to meet." Yelu Zongwang said.
"I am the guest of honor of your wolf master, everything is done according to the instructions of the Kazakh military division, you don't violate the military order and bring about your own destruction." Zhang Bangchang warned.
"The Kazakh military division wants you to give me a gift? Outside, the king's order is not affected, let alone a Kazakh army division. What is your crime of giving bribes privately? Yelu Zongwang said with a serious face.
Zhang Bangchang is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and there are words of suffering. He had no choice but to stay in Yelu Zongwang's camp and wait for the arrival of the Golden Vultures.
