4128 New Golden Envoy
4128 New Golden Envoys
The faces of all the confidants and ministers changed drastically.
Li Bangyan was the first to speak: "Your Majesty! I'm afraid the thief hasn't gone far yet, is it a little inappropriate to issue an edict to crusade at this time? ”
Geng Nanzhong said: "The minister proposes that His Majesty be escorted out of this place by Ouchi first, so that the thieves have nothing to do, and then make plans in the future." ”
"Right!" Zhao Huan turned around, nodded with a gloomy face, and said, "According to Master Geng's wishes, leave Bianjing first, and then kill and rebel." ”
Among the ministers, Shaozai Zhang Bangchang opened his mouth and closed it again.
He actually wanted to say, since the Immortal Cultivator Sect was so powerful, and he wanted to lead the troops to fight against Jin, why didn't he just let them fight?
In the end, if you win, the world will be peaceful. If they lose, it can be excused that they took their own initiative to force the attack, the imperial court was determined to surrender, and there were not many elite soldiers at hand and were powerless to stop it, and the Song and Jin sides could completely sit back at the negotiating table and continue the peace talks, which was nothing more than to lose more money.
No matter which outcome it is, it will be better to accept, why bother to provoke the thieves of the Immortal Cultivation Sect?
At that time, the foreign enemy will knock on the wall, and the immortal cultivation faction will be forced to rebel again, and the internal and external troubles of the Great Song Dynasty will really be in danger!
It's a pity that Zhang Bangchang knew that he was weak and soft-spoken, and he had observed for a long time and never found anyone who had a consensus, so he had to keep his mouth shut and swallow this idea in his stomach without mentioning it.
Just when a group of people were discussing how to escape from Kaifeng Mansion smoothly, someone from outside the palace came to report that the Jin people had sent a new envoy to ask for a meeting.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other.
"Could it be that the Jin people found out about the killing of the ambassador so quickly?"
A group of people restlessly returned to the Vertical Arch Hall, which had been cleaned, and summoned the golden envoy.
The new envoy did not mention the whereabouts of the previous envoy, and said straight to the point.
The Song Dynasty immediately handed over new weapons of war.
There must be no delay.
Otherwise, Bianjing will be slaughtered, and no chickens and dogs will be left.
Zhao Huan was dumbfounded, and asked in wonder, "What is a new type of war equipment?"
The new envoy said that it was the kind that killed the cavalry on the right side of the battalion not long ago.
"It's true?!" The ministers in the hall recalled the words of the Immortal Cultivator and Li Gang before, and their hearts were full of turmoil, and they were shocked.
Zhao Huan even asked the Jin envoy directly: "Ambassador, you said that more than 10,000 cavalry on the right side of the camp were really killed?" Was it really our Song Jun who did it? ”
Seeing that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom were "pretending to be stupid", Jin remembered the advice of the chief general in his mind, eased his tone, and said: "In this way, as long as you are willing to hand over the equipment, the amount of compensation can be reduced by half!" ”
"Shhhhh
There seemed to be 10,000 donkeys gasping in the huge vertical arch hall.
This is the first time in many days that the country has made concessions on the amount of compensation.
The amount of compensation is also the most difficult area for the two sides to reach an agreement since the peace talks.
Everything can be talked about and can be changed, land, population, and coins, and the gold people are all relieved.
However, the number of one-time payments has not decreased, but has been increasing.
This is the root cause of the fact that peace talks have not been finalized.
It's not that the Song Dynasty didn't want to lose money, but it couldn't make up so much gold and silver at all.
Now, this is the hardest one, and it has been loosened!
And it was cut in half!
Huge concessions!
A huge success!
Peace talks are on the horizon!
All the ministers present nodded and smiled in satisfaction.
As if the Jin people were not giving in but surrendering.
Zhao Huan's face, which had not been smiling for a long time, softened a lot, and he coaxed the golden envoy in a good voice: "Ambassador, please rest assured, I immediately issued an edict to send the equipment, as for the other terms of the peace treaty, is there anything that needs to be revised?" ”
Seeing that Emperor Song was soft, the new gold envoy regained his arrogant demeanor, waved his hand and said that it didn't matter if everything else was sent first.
Geng Nanzhong quietly approached Li Bangyan and said softly: "The incident happened suddenly, does the plan need to be delayed?" ”
Li Bangyan nodded and replied: "I want to see what the so-called instrument is first, and the Jin people seem to be a little jealous." ”
Geng Nanzhong also nodded and said: "If the peace talks can be completed, there will be no war in the Great Song Dynasty, and there will be no need for any generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the military power will naturally be returned, otherwise it will be a blatant rebellion, hum, and the soldiers of the world will discuss it." ”
"I hope so." Li Bangyan stopped talking, secretly glanced at Zhao Huan and the new envoy who were "happy and harmonious", and lowered his eyelids again.
Outside Miyagi.
Li Gang and He Guan walked side by side on the path.
"Immortal Cultivator, where is it sacred?" Li Gang lowered his posture very low, and took the initiative to ask He Guan: "I see that they seem to have sophisticated firearms. ”
He Guan stroked his beard and thought for a long time, and sighed lightly: "It should be the number one faction in the martial arts, they call themselves immortal cultivators, and each of them has extremely mysterious powers, and their skills are extremely amazing. And, as far as I know, the martial arts alliance leader in the Great Song Dynasty is now under the sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect. ”
Hearing this, Li Gang nodded lightly, his eyes showing appreciation: "I can't imagine that there are such heroes in the world today!" It's really my great luck! ”
"Fortunately, or unfortunately." He Guan shook his head slightly and sighed: "Let's do it and see." ”
Li Gang was a little puzzled and turned his head to look at him.
He Guan didn't say anything more, and summoned an adjutant to ask, "Have the residences of the immortal families been arranged?" ”
The adjutant summoned another soldier to inquire and replied, "I specially cleaned up the vacant mansion for the Immortal Cultivators. Immortal use. ”
He Guan nodded, and just wanted to say to lead the way, but heard the adjutant make a sharp turn: "However, the immortals excused themselves and ran out of the city." ”
"Out of town?" He Guan and Li Gang glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked the adjutant, "Which direction?" ”
"West of the city."
"Hurry up!"
Waiting for the two of them to ride their horses "slowly" to the west of the city to open a far gate, go up the wall and look down.
Boy!
Under the high city walls, several rows and rows of cauldrons were set out in a red fire.
There is a fire under the pot, smoke is coming from the pot, the thick soup in the pot is tumbling, the green vegetables and white meat are flickering, and the bursts of strange fragrance are blowing up the wind along the city wall.
The defenders standing guard on the side couldn't help but suck their saliva, but because the guard envoy was next to him, he didn't dare to be distracted, raised his head and stood straight ahead.
Li He, the only one who had a small stove in the corner to cook porridge, mentally detected that someone was coming to the wall, got up and waved his hand: "General He, oh and Lord Li Gang, the two of you will come down to eat together, right?" ”
The 98 soldiers were divided into more than 10 pots and drank wine in large bowls while scooping meat and vegetables, and the atmosphere was very strong.
It is not uncommon to eat in a large pot similar to a hot pot, but what is lacking is the food in the pot, spices, oil, salt, sauces, etc.
But these things, how can it be rare to live in the "fairy family".
If you have money, you can buy mutton, pork, chicken, all kinds of vegetables, as for spices, oil, salt, etc., there are many in the belt.
At this meal, even Yang Zaixing, whose father was an official, was full of red faces, not to mention the soldiers of He Guanbu who had eaten dry food for many days.
He Guan and Li Gang looked at each other and smiled, found a firm rope to tie it up at random, and quickly walked down the city with their dexterity, quickly blending into the joyful atmosphere.
In the snow and ice, what could be more important than a hot meal?
