Chapter 256: The Two Kings Meeting

Brother Cha didn't dare to wipe the sweat off his head until he left the hall, and the only one who could make the second person in Daxia break out in a cold sweat on this day when the water turned into ice. Jingzhou and Xingqing Mansion are only thirty miles, the violent explosion in the early morning still alarmed the emperor, Brother Cha waited for the result to hurry into the palace to report, the result did not need to ask if it was a bullshit, looking at the face of the eldest brother Tieqing, the beating green tendons on his forehead, and the blood-red eyes, Brother Cha felt scared, he was just a tool in his eyes, and once he angered him, his own end was worse than a dog.

"That kid on the other side is really not a fucking fuel-efficient lamp, he is so bold that he dares to cross the Yellow River and wash Jingzhou in blood, is he warning himself, or does he really think that he can capture Xingqing Mansion with that little man in his hand?" Brother Cha thought about his heart and went out of the palace to get on the horse, tightened his grip, and hit the horse to return home, but along the way he saw people gathering together and whispering, and when he saw his guards approaching, he immediately dispersed.

"Go, inquire, what are the people talking about!" Brother Cha turned his face and said to one of the guards behind him.

As soon as Brother Cha returned to the house and sat down, the guards who inquired about the news came back, it was really a good thing not to go out and evil things to go thousands of miles, what happened in Jingzhou has spread all over the streets and alleys in less than half a day, saying that it is the Great Song Dynasty's Prince Yan's magic through the sky, and the thunder fell in Jingzhou in the early morning, leveling the city of Jingzhou in an instant, and thousands of garrison soldiers were all hacked to death. Then the imperial court sent a large army to pursue, and the prince of Nayan cast another spell to summon a fire dragon, which roasted the ice on the Yellow River, and all the pursuers fell into the water and almost all of them were drowned; Some people also say that the Great Song Dynasty's westward expedition was to avenge Liu Fa's killing. If you don't kill Brother Cha, you vow not to quit the army. Only when the imperial court hands over Brother Cha, the Great Song Dynasty will withdraw its troops, otherwise it will break the Xingqing Mansion and slaughter the entire city's military and civilians...

Brother Cha couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, but he had to be cautious, rumors can also kill people, and some people are gloating about the misfortune when they are criticized in the main hall today, if these people are trying to scoop rumors and say things, then it is really a troublesome thing at this moment!

"Is it necessary to send troops to fight back to break this situation?" Brother Cha pondered how to overcome the current difficulties, and his appeasement policy had already aroused the dissatisfaction of some people in the DPRK and China. It's just that no one dares to speak under the full support of the emperor and his own suppression, if there is such a time, I am afraid that his imperial brother will have to reconsider, when the two talked. He patted his chest and assured the imperial brother that Song Jun would not cross the river.

"No!" Brother Cha quickly denied this crazy idea, his 100,000 troops were killed by him, and he also escaped back after nine deaths, Lingzhou and Xiazhou, which is not a strong city, were all down by him in one day, and now the Yellow River is frozen, for the Song army, it is flat land, it is not a threat at all, if he dares to send troops to fight in the field, he is likely to take advantage of the situation to fight. He fought all the way to Lingzhou alone, and the Shaanxi Army beat the side drums, and it was the Hedong Army that played a decisive role.

"The Song army attacked Jingzhou, did it repeat the old tricks, and wanted to clear the periphery and then concentrate troops to attack Xingqing Mansion?" Brother Cha suddenly 'woke up', whether it was attacking Fengzhou or Lingzhou, the Song army used this tactic every time he fortified the city. The reason why he changed the previous policy of appeasement and adopted such a drastic method of destroying the city is because he lacked troops at his disposal, so he simply destroyed the city completely. All the people who resisted were killed, and all the people and property were taken away, which could not only provide war resources, but also remove obstacles during the siege, and also deter the Xia army. Causing panic among the people can be described as a lot of success!

"Send more scouts right away. Patrols along the riverbank, especially Shunzhou, Lingwu, Yongzhou, and Huaizhou along the river, must strengthen defense to prevent the Song army from attacking and ensuring that they are not lost! After Cha Ge figured this out, he was no longer in a cold sweat, but felt a cool breath rising from the soles of his feet all the way down his backbone to the top of his brain. …,

"I still underestimated my opponent, not only is he bold, but the city is deeper!" Brother Cha had to admire the young prince, he had worked hard to reverse the situation, and he was defeated in one battle...

After a few days of fear, the Song army did not launch a new attack, but their scout activities became more and more frequent, but they failed to cross the river under the strict defense of the Xia army, but he did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as there is a slight movement under the city, it can cause a riot, regardless of 3721, random arrows and rolling wood and stones will be smashed under the city, and after inspection, it is often a false alarm. Even the emperor in Xingqing Mansion became nervous, every time he heard something big, he would be alarmed and send someone to inquire, for which the palace had been killed by a few careless servants and palace maids, so that the people in the palace did not dare to breathe, lest they would alarm the emperor and cause death!

In such a trouble, people who are not sick have to toss out of their illnesses, and at the moment when people are panicking, Brother Cha received two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news is that there was a civil strife in the Great Song Dynasty, the people in the southeast were in rebellion, the people in chaos killed officials and broke the government, and the officers and soldiers were defeated several times, and no one could stop them; The bad news is that the one on the other side has not stopped, and has organized the captured Xia soldiers and the captive population into an army, and has also recruited troops and horses from various tribes in the newly occupied land, expanding the ranks, according to the detailed report, there are ten generals, no less than 50,000 people.

"Grandma, what can I do? He must be preparing to cross the river when he trains the new army! "Brother Cha's head hurts again.

"Lord Wang, now that the Song Dynasty is in turmoil, can we make some fuss about this!" Seeing that the prince was anxious, one of his staff stepped forward and said.

"What article?" Brother Cha rubbed his head and didn't lift his eyelids.

"Lord Wang, I heard that Wang Huang, the new prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, also pressed the matter of the popular rebellion in the Chinese book at this time, and did not play the emperor, there is an article to do in this!" The staff said with a smile.

"Tell me about it!" Brother Cha's brain also flashed when he heard this, and the Buddha found something but couldn't grasp it.

"Lord Wang, Wang Huang must be afraid of punishment if he suppresses this matter, so we will threaten him with this matter and ask him to facilitate peace talks as soon as possible, otherwise we will pass the news to their emperor." Said the staff.

"Well, whether Wang Hao listens or not, it is beneficial to us, he is willing to contribute to us, and peace talks can be achieved; If he refused, we told Zhao Ji that he must step up peace talks and then make the western army withdraw to the southeast to quell the rebellion, and the result was the same! Brother Cha's head immediately stopped hurting, "You immediately pass the letter to Shu Wang Renli, let him act according to the plan, wait for the holy decree, the crisis here will be solved, I don't believe that he dares to resist the decree and disobey it!" ”

"The prince is really wise, as soon as this plan comes out, the person on the other side will only have dry eyes, and his arms can't twist his thighs after all!" The staff's sycophants hurriedly sent to the road.

"Okay, you're also very good, I'm going to reward you!" Brother Cha was in a good mood and patted his staff on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you for the reward, but it will take time for the messenger to come and go, and the prince on the other side needs to be appeased, so as not to let him cause anything more.

"yes, or you're thoughtful, what do you have in mind?" Brother Cha thinks about it, there is still a time lag, who knows what that bastard will do during this time.

"Lord Wang, we can do this..."Xin Ji leaned into Cha Ge's ear and said his thoughts.

......

On the fifth day of the first month of November, the Western Xia sent an envoy across the river to ask for an armistice with the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate peace, according to the regulations of the Song Dynasty, when the envoy contacted the external power or foreign personnel, he could deal with it on behalf of the imperial court. After several exchanges, Zhao decided to consult with him at Juxian Building in Dongguan Town, outside Lingzhou City, and the Western Xia side sent Cha Ge as a plenipotentiary to negotiate. …,

On the eighth day of November, Brother Cha led the crowd across the river into Dongguan Town, and the group stayed in a courtyard behind Juxian Building. Although Juxian Building is outside Lingzhou City, it is a restaurant that can be counted in Lingzhou City, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, divided into three courtyards before and after, the main building is four floors high, built by Fengle Building of Song Bianliang, set to eat, drink and have fun in one, according to the current saying, it is a good place for the officials and nobles in Lingzhou City to relax and vacation. Before the war, the owner of the restaurant didn't know where Lu Dao had fled, and he didn't know if he died in the fire, anyway, it was now requisitioned by Zhao Ta, and it was restored to its former style with only a slight renovation.

The first public meeting between the two military strongmen of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia was unhappy, and Brother Cha proposed an armistice first and then peace talks, but Zhao Ta categorically refused, and he proposed that the Western Xia give up the nine towns outside the river and all the land in Henan under Lingzhou, and then talk about the armistice. After hearing this, Brother Cha's nose was crooked, the nine towns outside the river include the original Huaiyuan Town, the current Xingqing Mansion, and the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, so that going abroad is no different from the death of the country, this can not be agreed in any case, he 'argues with reason', Zhao Ta does not give in at all, and the peace talks can only be temporarily suspended and discussed tomorrow.

The Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, quarrels in the talks, but the rules still have to be spoken, that night Zhao Ta set up a banquet in Juxian Building to entertain the Western Xia delegation and his party, food, wine made the two sides temporarily forget the war, indulge in it. But Brother Cha didn't dare to forget the business, and halfway through the banquet, he invited Zhao Ta to the next door to taste tea and sober up.

"Prince Yan, we had an appointment that day, and the soldiers stopped in Xiazhou, so they stopped attacking and negotiating peace, but now you have hit Lingzhou, the eldest husband is full of promises, how can Prince Yan miss the appointment!" Before the two of them finished their cup of tea, Brother Cha complained.

"Prince Jin, we had an agreement, but it was not the king who broke the contract, after I arrived in Xiazhou, there was a truce for more than half a month, but you never sent a person to discuss the future, of course the king thought that the prince of Jin had already forgotten the appointment of the day, so he had to bring troops to the door to ask you!" Zhao Ta took a sip of tea and said with a smile... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
