Chapter 227: Don't mention it

In the face of the Song Dynasty's lion's big mouth, Xi Gu Nai also handed his own note to the Southern Dynasty mission, it is not possible to cut the land, there is no money, and it is impossible to call the ministers... Instead, the Song army was required to withdraw from the occupied Dadingfu and Yanjing City, and restore to the boundary divided by the Baigou River signed in the second year of Jingkang; The exchange of prisoners in the war between the two sides can reduce the amount of coins that the Great Song Dynasty paid to the Jin State, and the specific amount will be discussed; Then there is the fact that the relationship between the two countries can be repositioned, the vassal relationship can be dissolved, and the country can be re-established as a brotherly country.

"Brother Zhong, Xi Gu is this old ghost who has killed hard enough!" Zhao Ren read the Chen sent by Jin Guo and handed it to Zhao Zhongdao.

"Hey, you are asking for a price, and you have to let people pay it back on the spot, I'll see what they want!" Zhao Zhong took it and looked at it carefully one by one and said.

"They didn't agree to what we mentioned, and they still want to return to the pre-war period, how is this possible!" Zhao Ren tapped his fingers on the table and said, worrying that the two sides had nothing in common, and the negotiation must be a quarrel, and in the end it was unpleasant, and the negotiation dragged on indefinitely.

"Well, he still has room for this old fox, you see that the matter of weighing Fan and New Year's coins has not been blocked!" Zhao Zhong said while watching.

"But I don't think that's the point, what is the purpose of their negotiations? I think Jin Guo also knows very well that no one will spit out the meat in his mouth, as for saying that Fan is not on the verge of extinction, who will do this, and talking about it is just grinding his mouth! Zhao Ren nodded and said.

"They didn't block all the ways at once, which means that they really want to talk, unlike the sky-high price you set when you come up, the room for maneuver is very small, don't you also want to test their attitude. Isn't that also visible! Zhao Zhong shook the few pieces of paper in his hand and said.

"Since they want to talk, the point is nothing more than the withdrawal of troops on both sides. Prepare for another battle to gain respite, but only demarcate with the existing Line of Control. Each can collect the boundary, everyone knows that the paper agreement is nothing, so why bother with it? But they took the initiative to propose some intention to make peace, and wanted to make it happen! Zhao Ren frowned, 'Tuk Tuk...' and said as he knocked on the table.

"Yes, His Majesty has never given a penny of coins after succeeding to the throne, and it is just nonsense to talk about reducing the coins at this time. The vassals are even more nonsense, we are all about to hit their grandma's house..."Zhao Zhong also analyzed one by one and said softly.

"Swap prisoners of war!" The two thought of this at the same time and said in unison, which was the only common denominator of the conditions proposed in the negotiations.

"Since this is the case, it is easy to do, since both sides have this intention. Just talk! Zhao Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay to talk, but we have to find out who they want, we can't just return the people in a daze, and the result is that the tiger will be a problem!" Zhao Ren stood tall and saw far, thinking one more layer than Zhao Zhong.

"Yes, the new monarch of the Jin Kingdom has just succeeded to the throne, the throne is unstable, and the two factions are fighting very fiercely, and Zongfu and Yinshuke who were killed by us in the battle of Yanjing. The captured Wanyan Xiyin all belonged to the Aguta line, that is, the faction of the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Wanyan Xiyin is the leader of the second generation of Dajin Kingdom, and is deeply valued by Ah Guta and Wu Qi, and thinks it is a think tank. Their department is now in dire need of such a figure because of their defeat and strength, so the target of the exchange is likely to be him! Zhao Zhong analyzed.

"We also have a heavyweight of the Jin Kingdom in our hands. Wu Qimai's eldest son, Wanyan Zongqi, was once the most promising candidate for the throne. Although their faction has not been able to ascend to the throne now, it is possible that they will want to exchange it back for the sake of comfort. to reduce strife! Zhao Ren said.

"Well, now everything is speculation, the return of Zong Xuan may also be a condition for Wu Qimai and the family to agree to give way, they agreed to set up Yan Jian as the heir when the Aguda family was the strongest, and under their coercion, it was just to ease the contradiction and compromise, in exchange for Zong Xuan, there would be one more enemy, just like we welcomed back the King of Liao, how much is this possibility?" Zhao Zhong analyzed.

"If you want to know the Tao of the Lu, their purpose can only be known by talking!" Zhao Ren nodded, his analysis was not unreasonable, but it was impossible to find out the truth based on the speculation of the two of them.

"That's the only way, but judging from Xi Gu Nai's approach, it's also tricky, hidden and false, we crashed, and it's not easy to find out his target!" Zhao Zhong grimaced and said with a smile.

"Hehe, this is the chess opponent will meet the good talent!" Zhao Ren also smiled, and the people on both sides thought of it together, "But Your Majesty often says that the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each has its own advantages, we are all reading a military book, and we are taught by Your Majesty, and they are not the same, each has its own strengths, even if it is a plan, there are all kinds of changes, it depends on who uses it well!" ”

"Then how will we talk when we meet tomorrow?" Zhao Zhong thought so, and His Majesty had used the next pocket array as many times, but Jin Jun was like a dog who didn't remember to eat, and he went back to drill in.

"The original plan remains unchanged, and the static brake is used!" Zhao Ren took a sip of tea and twisted his face and said.

"Yes, calm down, consume with him, as long as he is in a hurry, he will show his feet!" Zhao Zhong emphasized.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has taken the initiative, the only one who can contain them is the King of Liao, who has also lived there for many years, and it makes no difference if he comes back a few days early or a few days late, and he doesn't wait for him to get out of the pot. To be honest, everyone really doesn't want him to come back, and privately thinks that he should be martyred on the day the city is broken, and now not only does he suffer but also shame the Great Song Dynasty, but also causes trouble to everyone, becoming a big problem!

…………

The negotiations between the two sides began as expected, with a quarrel that went dark.

The Jin people said that they should now withdraw their troops in accordance with the agreement and cede the two prefectures of Dading and Yanjing. The Song people said that according to the Maritime Alliance, after the destruction of Liao, the sixteen states of Yanyun should be returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and taking a step back, it was also the Jin State that first tore up the agreement to capture Yanjing and go south to the Central Plains, since the agreement is invalid, how can the Great Song Dynasty breach the contract; The Jin people said that most of the military money taken from the Song Dynasty that day was robbed by the Song army on the way, and it was still impossible for them to return. Zhao Zhong said that if you gave us military expenses, you can also send someone to rob it, and we don't want to rob it back.

Then there is the matter of calling the minister and paying the currency, and the Jin State proposed that the Song State is still their vassal state, how can it be possible to call the Song Dynasty the minister and the currency, at most it will become a brother country, and they will not call each other ministers, but the annual currency still has to be given. The Great Song Dynasty is sneering here, now it is you who have lost the city and lost the army, and it is you who are the ones who seek peace, and you still want the New Year's coin, isn't that a dream...

After ten days of endless quarrels, Xi Gu Nai really felt that he was old, not only was he physically and mentally exhausted and his energy could not reach, but even his voice could not suppress the two young people of the Southern Dynasty. Although there was also a young deputy envoy by his side, he thought that he was proficient in Sinology, and he would not be timid when he quoted scriptures when negotiating with the peace envoys of the Southern Dynasty. But as soon as the two sides met, Xi Gu Nai knew that he was wrong, although the two people on the opposite side were dressed like civilian officials and tried their best to cover up, how could the killing aura on his body hide from him, an old military stick.

After inquiring about it, the two peace envoys of the Southern Dynasty were both fierce generals who followed Zhao Ernan's expedition to the north since childhood, but Zongxian felt that he had learned to be rich and rich since he read a few Han books, and he had become a contemporary Confucian, took off the skin of the Jurchens, and became more Han than the Han people. Xiucai couldn't explain it when he met Bing, and Zongxian quoted scriptures to argue with them, isn't that self-defeating, he can't deal with it at all, and it's all on Xi Gunai, the old man.

Negotiation is a matter of state, saying the wrong word and being caught by the other party may cause a catastrophe, Xi Gu is strong to deal with it, one day or two is okay, but it can't be consumed for a long time! Taking advantage of the deadlock in the negotiations, he proposed to suspend the negotiations for the time being and resume the negotiations after consulting the country, and he could also take this opportunity to figure out the strategy for the next step of the negotiations.

"Dutong, the negotiations have not progressed for a long time, and they are just entangled in the details, how can we explain to the saint?" As soon as Wanyan Zongxian sat down, he stood up again and said, after Wanyan succeeded to the throne, he changed the Nanjing Road Shuai Division to the Southeast Road Metropolitan Division, and Xi Gu Nai was the capital commander, moved to Tokyo, and the town of Goryeo.

"Lazy, then what do you think it should be, the envoys of the Southern Dynasty don't submit a word about changing Zhao Da, as long as we mention it, they will take advantage of the situation to raise the price, making us more passive!" Xi Gu Nai said.

"Dutong, then why don't we go straight to the point and go straight to the point, the abolished emperor of the Southern Dynasty is in our hands, and we are not afraid that they will not give in!" Zong Xian said with some excitement, he was also about to be driven crazy by the two 'unreasonable' peace envoys of the Southern Dynasty, and he didn't know how many times he scolded his mother in private.

"Do you really think that Zhao Er will care about the deposed emperor and get him back to fight for the throne with him? And as long as the emperor is abolished in our hands for one day, they will have enough excuses to start a war in the name of 'welcoming back the first emperor', just like when I asked the Khitan for 'exterminating the Liao ghost' Ah Shu, I didn't give it for a day, and the war was not extinguished for a day until the country died. Now it's not a treasure for us, it's a charcoal that we can't get rid of! Xi Gu Nai said with a sigh.

"Then why don't you take this opportunity to return the Southern Dynasty?" Zong Xian pondered for a while and said, he really couldn't figure it out, since the tricky things why not return them.

"Taizong once had an order, if the Southern Dynasty did not surrender, and the resistance was fierce, he could be re-established as the emperor in the land of the Southern Dynasty as a counterbalance." Xi Gunai reluctantly said the arrangement of the year.

"But... But at that time, the south of Bianjing was in the hands of my Dajin, and there were tens of millions of people under my rule. Now that we not only have lost Bianjing, but also lost our hometown, how to implement this plan, do we still have to set aside a piece from the country to him? "Zong Xian's head can't turn, wouldn't it be a waste of a long time to 'invite' someone to come to his house to be the emperor, it's really funny in the world, shaking the folding fan to cool his head, and stammered......
