Receiving the news from Pingzhou, Zhao Ta was full of emotion, Wushu, a war maniac, was willing to put down his body, abandon the ideal of fighting for half his life, sue for peace with the former vanquished, and release Zhao Huan, a super captive, whose behavior and courage can be compared with Rabin and Shaolong of Israel in later generations, that is, Nobel was born hundreds of years later, otherwise Wushu is the winner of this year's 'International Peace Prize'.

However, Zhao Ta was not happy, because although he had one less strong opponent on the battlefield, he had one more political rival. This also marks that Wushu has completed the transformation from a soldier to a politician, and the consideration of the problem is not purely from a military point of view, but from the overall situation. If you want to defeat him, you need to spend more energy and die more brain cells.

Jin Guo has now made huge concessions, which has cleared the biggest obstacle to peace talks, and the Great Song Dynasty has no reason to continue to drag on, and the negotiations are just underway. First of all, the Jin side proposed that the two sides should achieve a comprehensive cease-fire, and that the Great Song army should withdraw from Liaoyang City and Kaizhou and Xuanzhou on the north bank of the Yalu River, and temporarily use the Yalu River as the cease-fire line. This time, the Great Song Dynasty also showed great enthusiasm, promising to stop military operations in the Jin State, but the withdrawal was premised on the release of the royal relatives and the detained Song Dynasty officials and ordinary people who were taken captive during the Liao King and Jingkang Rebellion.

The Jin side also quickly responded to the Song side's request, because many Song Dynasty officials who were captured had already served in the Jin State as officials at all levels; The number of people who had already started a family after more than a decade and did not want to move south again belonged to the category of prisoners of war, and the fighting between the two sides continued, and this issue should be discussed and resolved after the war. As for Zhao Huan, they can do special things. However, it will also need to be returned after the Song army withdraws from the ceasefire demarcation line.

The problem was kicked back again, and Zhao Ta understood it very well. After the Song and Jin signed the maritime alliance to jointly destroy the Liao, they signed seven or eight more contracts. Among them, there are both the Great Song Dynasty who deceived the Jin Kingdom, and the Jurchens who fooled the Great Song Dynasty, the two sides have deep grievances, and they have long lost a trace of trust, and they both want to keep one hand to prevent the other party from changing their hexagrams. He immediately proposed a compromise plan, Jin Guo first sent Zhao Huan and his family to Liaoyang Mansion to the Song army, and then the Song Dynasty naval army went north from the Liao River to pick them up and the tiger generals by boat, so that the withdrawal of Liaoyang Mansion could be completed at the same time.

Wushu felt that Zhao Ta's plan was feasible, but he was still worried that Song Shuijun would take the opportunity to go north. Launching a large-scale attack, it was required that the Song naval warships must sail out of Liaodong Bay, only medium-sized ships were allowed to enter the Liaohe River, and they were not allowed to be equipped with heavy weapons such as artillery, and each ship could not have more than 30 sailors, and could not go ashore. In order to dispel Song Fang's vigilance and fear of being attacked after entering the Liao River, he was willing to send his ministers to accompany the king of Tianshui County into Liaoyang City as a hostage, and then leave after the ship entered the sea safely.

Liaoyang and Zhao Huan are the two heaviest of the few trump cards in the hands of Wushu. Now that we are playing together, it can be said that we have made a bloody investment. He is betting on Zhao Ta's character, if he is a person who believes in his word, he will definitely understand his determination to negotiate peace. The negotiations below will go much smoother; If he gets cheap and behaves, he really has no good way to restrain him now, at most, he will let his mouth cannon go. He's sure to end badly, too. So this time, in order to achieve peace, Wushu staked his future and net worth on the ......

Zhao Ta naturally knew that Wushu's response had already shown twelve points of sincerity. If you put forward other conditions, you will be petty, and it will be risky to do anything. And it was worth taking this risk, so he agreed to the exchange of Wushu, and at the same time ordered Zhao Shu, the king of Zhengsu of Dazong, to carry clothes and guards of honor to Kaizhou as the envoy, and ordered Zhang Suoxiang, the deputy envoy of the peace council, to accompany him to Liaoyang with the holy decree to meet the king of Liao. He did this to look formal, and secondly, to verify his identity, prevent Jin Guo from cheating, and don't go to great lengths to get an imposter back.

Wushu was relieved to learn that Zhao Tan agreed to his suggestion, he had not been able to find out Zhao Ta's pulse, worried that his request for Zhao Huan was fake, and the delay was true, so that he could gather his army to attack again, and now it seems that it is unnecessary to worry. He immediately entered the palace to get the holy decree, sent people to the Five Kingdoms City to pick up Zhao Huan to Liaoyang, and at the same time ordered the guard to enlarge Song to take the envoy into the gold, and ordered Xing Guzhan, the deputy envoy of the council, to accompany him. The messengers on both sides have broken their legs these days, but they have not been busy in vain, and things have finally come to an end.

At the beginning of June, the Great Song Dynasty delegation led by Zhao Shu successfully entered Liaoyang City, and this was his second time traveling north as an envoy, but his mood was very different. Last time, he was sent to Jinying as a hostage by his eldest brother, and he was shocked three times a day in the enemy camp, for fear of angering the Jurchens, and he was more worried about whether he could return to the Great Song Dynasty. This time, they were ordered by the second brother to envoy to the Jin Kingdom, but the people who were frightened along the way were replaced by the Jurchens, who were worried that they were worried that they had annoyed the prince of the Great Song Dynasty and broke down the negotiations, so they were careful everywhere.

Zhao Shu, who had a pleasant journey, was welcomed by the Song army after entering the city, and also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, they were ready to die when they learned that the naval army was blocked in Liaodong Bay and could not come to reinforce the country, although they were not afraid of death, and were willing to sacrifice for the emperor and the Great Song Dynasty, but no one wanted to die. The Emperor is now sending his own brothers here, indicating that the Emperor has not forgotten them and is trying to rescue them.

The next day, Marshal Jin Guozuo entered Liaoyang City with only two of his relatives with his bare hands, which also marked the official truce between the two sides. Song Jun did not embarrass him, and specially arranged a courtyard for him to live in the Shuaifu, and specially arranged for several Jurchens to serve them, but he forgot to send guards and did not restrict his freedom. And this also allows the sudden speed to move around.

Tuhesu is a veteran, accustomed to looking at the current city that has experienced war from the perspective of a soldier, and he found that the closer to the center of the city, the smaller the damage to the houses, and the damage is mostly caused by the artillery fire of the Song army, and the Miyagi located in the center is almost undamaged. This shows that the battle between the two armies only took place around the city wall, and the Jin army only defended but did not attack, and quickly dispersed after the Song army broke through the city gate, and did not rely on the houses and streets in the city to carry out street battles at all, so the center of the city was almost not damaged, and even the warehouse was not burned down when retreating, and it was left to the Song army intact.

Rushing along the street to a dwelling, he walked a few houses casually and found that the houses were almost empty except for the coarse benzene household goods, but they were not as messy as he imagined, but it was like a family calmly packed up and went on a long journey, so that some people still had time to lock their rooms. He pulled the lock, and there was no sign of damage. This shows that the Song army did not enter the house to plunder, and although the master was forced to leave, he was able to take the house with him, and thought that one day they would return.

He walked out into the street and met a patrol of soldiers, who marched in a neat line on the empty streets, which made people look a little funny, who is this show for! But he, a veteran, understands that those soldiers have developed habits, no matter whether they are or not, which also shows that the Song army is disciplined and well-trained, and it is not panicked because it is trapped in an isolated city, and it is also relaxed because of the sudden arrival of peace.

Although Tuhesu was repeatedly interrogated by the Song army's sentry posts and patrol soldiers, although those soldiers showed resentment and surprise at the appearance of him, the leader of the enemy army, as long as he showed his waist card and showed his identity, he would be released, and he did not embarrass or hurt him, or even spoke ill of him. It was clear that they had all received orders, and they had strictly followed them, showing restraint towards him, the culprit of the siege.

It wasn't until the evening that he returned to his courtyard after a day of wandering around the city, and he couldn't tell whether he was lost or worried. What he saw and heard today made him feel that the gap between the Jin army and the Song army was too big. However, the gap between the two armies is not only manifested in weapons and equipment, but also in terms of overall quality. The current Jin army no longer has the courage to fight to the death, nor does it have the enterprising spirit. He knew that even if the two countries reached a peace agreement, it would be extremely fragile, and the hatred between Song and Jin would need a decisive battle sooner or later to be resolved, and with the current state of the Jin army, it would undoubtedly be defeated......

Three days later, the convoy of the Song navy sailed up the river to the dock outside Liaoyang, where they strictly followed the agreement, with no more than 50 sailors per ship, and no heavy weapons were equipped, and all the personnel remained on board. They quickly made contact with the Song army in the city, devised an evacuation plan, and began loading surplus supplies and booty.

Five days later, Zhao Huan's car arrived at Liaoyang City, and the two sides began to handle the handover the next day. Zhao Huan, who entered the city, was still in shock, and when he left the Five Kingdoms City, although the Jurchens told him that Song Jin had begun peace talks, he would now send him home. But many disappointments have made Zhao Huan can't believe it, even if there are groups of well-organized Song Army soldiers in front of him, until he sees Zhao Shu's appearance, he is sure that it is true.

Although he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, Zhao Shu still recognized at a glance that the old man in front of him was his real eldest brother, the former imperial brother Zhao Heng. Years of humiliation as a prisoner of war and the harsh living conditions have severely destroyed his body, and he no longer has the vigor to ascend the throne at the beginning of the year, and all that remains is the residual survival instinct.

Zhao Shu hated his eldest brother very much in his heart, he forcibly sent himself on the northbound road as a hostage regardless of his brotherly affection, and he also wondered why the second brother insisted on claiming it back at any cost. But the moment he saw his eldest brother, those dissatisfactions seemed to drift away all at once, leaving only tears gushing out...... (To be continued......)
