Chapter 530: To Each His Own Calculation

The Jin State hostage Jin Ying peace talks were restarted, and the venue of this negotiation was set in Huining City, and Zhao Ta sent a negotiation delegation headed by Ma Kuo. According to the previous rules, ministers sent troops to serve as guards when they sent envoys, but this time he ordered the head of the Mengwu tribe, Kutula, to lead the troops to escort them. Everyone was very puzzled by the emperor's approach, but he just smiled and didn't let them say much, and everyone knew that the emperor had always been unpredictable, so they no longer persuaded each other.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ta ordered the lion to go to Xialishui to set up defenses to block the Khitan corps that came to 'King Qin', and the tiger general ordered to occupy Ma Jiling to block Wanyan Kexi's corps. At the same time, he asked all armies to prepare siege equipment, carry out a comprehensive reconnaissance of Huining City, formulate siege tactics, conduct pre-war drills, and launch an attack when the time is ripe, but he took advantage of this rare leisure time before the war to take his wife and lead a group of guards to fish and hunt.

"Your Majesty, did you send Erwa to lead the troops to attack the Five Kingdoms City to kill the deposed emperor Yelu Yanxi, so that the Khitan crowd would be leaderless and fall apart." Today's weather is good, Zhao Ta set up a stall fishing by the river, but after all, it is autumn, the weather is getting colder, especially the river wind is biting, Zhao Xin put on a big coat to the emperor and said.

"Kill him?!" Zhao Ta shook his head and said, "An old man who is about to die, how can I kill him, besides, he is no longer a threat to us, what is the use of killing him, but he will become notorious!" ”

"Then why did His Majesty save him, wouldn't it be okay if the fake Jurchens killed him by their hands." Zhao Xin tilted his head and asked.

"Hehe, this is insincere, I really want to kill him, I'm afraid that you and the concubine will complain that I won't save me when I see death, and I won't care about me anymore." Zhao Tan smiled and blinked.

His Majesty said again. How can there be fathers and sons and brothers in the two armies, although the Liao Emperor is my old master. But now that the concubine and I are married to His Majesty, we are the people of the Great Song Dynasty. We will never let family affairs harm the affairs of the country. Zhao Xin said solemnly.

"Okay, I have thought about it a lot, after destroying the Jurchens, the whole world is the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, so what is the difference between you and me. And of course, I didn't save Yelu Yanxi for no reason. Affectionately speaking, he is the father of the concubine, and he is also inextricably linked with your family, he is my father-in-law and the national ruler of the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing it suffer, my heart is uneasy; Now that the Jurchens want to use the Khitans as help, and the Khitans use it as a banner, we rescue him, so that the Jurchens cannot control them, but we can make the wishes of those Khitans who are willing to restore the country frustrated, and there are fewer swordsmen. Zhao explained.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to understand, now that the two armies have joined forces, there is plenty of food and grass for baggage. Why don't you not just attack the city, but also negotiate with it, I'm afraid there is another deep meaning, right? Zhao Xin asked again.

"You're really a roundworm in my stomach, and I can't hide anything from you." Zhao Tan looked at Zhao Xindao with resentment in his eyes. "I have been slow to launch a decisive battle, one is that although we have captured most of the prefectures and counties in eastern and western Liaoning, we have not yet set foot in remote areas. It will be very troublesome to conquer in the coming days, so it is better to let them fall into the net; Two. It's my selfishness......"

"Oh, does Your Majesty still want the Kingdom of Jin to offer their princess, the lord of the county, and Mei Ji. Have fun for yourself! On the other side, Zhi Meiluan didn't wait for the emperor to finish speaking, and then preemptively said.

"This ...... Where does this begin! Zhao Ta blushed when he was said, and said with some embarrassment.

"What does that mean? We have nothing in the Great Song Dynasty, gold, silver and jewelry, or silk and satin, as long as His Majesty opens his mouth, I'm afraid there is nothing in the world that can't be obtained, don't make excuses! Zhe Meiluan showed no mercy and continued to laugh at the emperor.

"I just want to return to them what the Jurchens imposed on the Great Song Dynasty back then, so that they can understand the reincarnation of the world and the retribution is unhappy, but people may say that I am a villain!" Zhao Ta said a little hurriedly.

"Huh?! That's what 陛xià meant to be! Zhe Meiluan said in some surprise, the emperor was planning to go on a northern expedition, and it turned out that there was such a reason in it.

"Happiness and revenge are the true colors of heroes, how can Your Majesty be a villain!" Zhao Xin said solemnly.

"Your Majesty's move can be a shame in the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and those sour Confucians are afraid that they will compete to praise virtue and will never chirp crookedly." Zhe Meiluan also said.

"Hehe, whatever they say, I've done it anyway, so fucking it!" Zhao Ta smiled and raised the pole, and a big fish was thrown ashore......

…………

Ma Kuo didn't care about the matter of entering the city to negotiate, he knew that the Jin Kingdom was left with the land of Huining Mansion, and whether the negotiations were successful or not, it was a matter of time before he perished. Therefore, after he entered the city, he still maintained a peaceful mentality, how to talk or how to talk, did not back down, and insisted that the Jin State must be a vassal to the Song Dynasty, otherwise other conditions would not be discussed. Of course, Wanyan will never compromise on this, negotiable peace does not mean surrender, only by bending and stretching can it become a big thing, and it can't be hard under the current situation, so Zhang Hao and others can only deal with the Song envoy.

Wan Yan knew that the Song Jin peace discussion was not once or twice, so although he was tenacious, he was not rigid, and understood that his peace negotiation was nothing more than delaying time for the final struggle, so the strategy he adopted was to pretend to be sick, and he was currently itchy and unable to meet the envoys of the Song Dynasty. Over the years, Ma Kuang's main work has been to liaise with foreign countries, specifically dealing with envoys from various countries, and he has also visited other countries many times. And a few of those who are engaged in diplomacy are lacking in heart, they are all top-notch people and old oilmen, how can he not see through Yan Yan's tricks, but he will not expose them, and the two sides will be more patient.

But Hu Tura, who served as the guard of the Song envoy, did not do his duty, and since he entered Huining City, he regarded himself as the boss of the suzerain, and began to do mischief in the city. Going to the restaurant, prostituting women, and robbing things are all trivial matters, and from time to time they beat the officials of the Jin State at will, and they have been angry with the Jurchens for many years. But the Jurchens dared to be angry at this time, and they had to show the right side after hitting the left cheek, for fear of offending the Song people.

After all, Kutura was a rude martial artist who grew up in the grassland, and he had no culture in his own right, he was arrogant and domineering, and he was short-tempered, and when they asked to see the Emperor of Jin several times and were unable to receive him with physical pretenses, he could no longer suppress his violent temper. So he ran to the gate of the palace of the Jin Kingdom and scolded, and his words were very insulting to Wan Yan, and even their ancestors had greeted them over and over again.

Kutu scolded enough and got angry, and returned to the post house triumphantly! But the soldiers of the Jin army guarding the palace city were shocked and angry, this is too bullying, in the past, the Mugultures saw them all bent over and bent their knees, and later slaughtered their two patriarchs, and now they actually dare to block the gate of the palace and scold the emperor, which makes them have the face of these soldiers. No, soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, it's a big deal to fight to the death with them, and it's better than living in humiliation.

In the middle of the night, a centurion of the Jin army guarding Miyagi led his headquarters to quietly surround the post house, and then suddenly rushed into the station of the Song mission, and opened a killing ring, and more than a dozen unsuspecting Muguls were killed in a blink of an eye. Kutura led the remaining guards to fight desperately, and waited until Wanyan Zongxiong rushed to receive the news, but most of the people of the mission had already been killed and suffered heavy losses.

Wanyan Zongxiong looked at the corpses lying in a pool of blood and was stupid, he understood that attacking and killing the mission meant that the Jin State had completely cut off the road of peace with the Song Dynasty. Wan Yan didn't have to pretend to be sick at this time, he felt that he was really sick, and the peace that had still had room for maneuver was ruined by these officers and soldiers who were loyal to the country and loyal to themselves, but now that there is no room for it, then there is only a brave challenge to accept, and it is best to let himself sacrifice his life for the country in the battle and die in the community......

The next day, after consultations, the Jin State guaranteed the safe exit of the envoy and paid a large pension, and the Great Song side released the hostage King Ji Wanyan Xi Nilie. When Ma Kuo and others returned to the camp, tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Song army quickly moved forward, set up artillery to bombard Huining City, carried out trench filling operations under the cover of artillery fire, and advanced to the buffer zone formed by the low wall outside the city, the siege battle kicked off, and Huining City also experienced the first baptism of war after it was completed!
