Chapter 317: Unwarranted (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
…
"Li Cun wants Liu Qi and Li Yanxian?!"
To be precise, what Li Cun wants is actually Liu Qi and Li Yanxian and all their families.
Regarding the third condition put forward by Li Cun, Zhao Gou was both surprised and surprised, and he didn't know whether to agree or not?
Needless to say, Zhao Gou never thought that Li Cun didn't want New Year's coins, food, cloth and other materials, and only two Song generals who were not of high grade, which was too unbelievable? !
Not to mention the surprise, Zhao Gou has just arrived in Xingyuan Mansion now, and his foothold is not yet stable, at this time, Li Cun asked him for money and materials, and it will definitely be difficult for him to get it, and Li Cun now only needs two Song generals who are not of high grade, for Zhao Gou, it is easy to do it.
It's just that Zhao Gou also knows that handing over the generals who have just won the victory to sue for peace is not good to say, and it will anger those arrogant generals who are not under his control.
Therefore, Zhao Gouzhen didn't know whether to agree to this condition?
Seeing that Zhao Gou hesitated, Wang Lun took a sip of the teacup, then put down the teacup, and said lightly: "If King Kang feels embarrassed, this matter will be stopped, Wang Lun will go back and report to His Majesty, and the two families will fight again." ”
After listening to Wang Lun's threat, how could Zhao Gou not know that Wang Lun was angry?
Zhao Gou hurriedly confessed: "Ambassador Wang, don't be anxious, this is a general with meritorious military achievements, and the ambassador must ask Xiao Wang to think about it carefully." ”
Wang Lun didn't change his tone just because Zhao Gou said this, he still said with displeasure: "King Kang, didn't he think that today's peace agreement was easy? Let's tell the truth to King Kang, if it weren't for Wei Jieyu who happened to be pregnant with the dragon species, Concubine Xing and the others would have been helping King Kang say all the good things, even if Wang Mou was clever and tongue-in-cheek, it would be difficult to get such generous negotiations and conditions! ”
Zhao Gou didn't pick up Xing Bingyi, who was destined to make him embarrassed and passive, but hurriedly said: "For the ambassador's help, Xiao Wang Minggan, when the ambassador returns, Xiao Wang will have a generous gift." ”
Wang Lun said: "Wang Lun's help to King Kang is not a generous gift to King Kang, and he really doesn't want the Zhao family to be ruined in two hundred years, so he said a few words for King Kang in front of His Majesty." ”
Zhao Gou said: "The ambassador doesn't have to be humble, how can Xiao Wang be that ungrateful person? ”
This time, Wang Lun didn't say anything polite to Zhao Gou again, he said bluntly: "I know what King Kang thinks, now that the two countries of Jinxia have sent troops to help, your family can sit back and relax, if King Kang really thinks like this, then it is very wrong." ”
Zhu Shengfei's eyes moved, and he said, "Please also ask the ambassador to give advice." ”
Wang Lun glanced at Zhu Shengfei, and then said to Zhao Gou: "King Kang, do you know, how many troops do I have?" ”
Zhao Gou said: "I would like to hear about it." ”
Wang Lun then said a number that made Zhao Gou and Zhu Shengfei's hearts sink: "One and two hundred thousand!" ”
Zhao Gou and Zhu Shengfei suspected that the numbers Wang Lun said must have been injected with water.
But they thought about it again, the Zhao and Song dynasties also had about the same number of troops in their heyday, and even now, the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty did not have an army of one million, and it must have five or seven hundred thousand troops.
Looking at it this way, the Daqian Dynasty, which was no weaker than the Zhao and Song dynasties in their heyday, had an army of 1.2 million people, which is indeed reasonable.
Wang Lun continued: "There are only 350,000 troops here in Shaanxi today, and even if we don't use these 3.5 million troops, we still have 1.8 million troops. ”
Hearing Wang Lun say this, not only Zhao Gou, but even Zhu Shengfei's face became extremely heavy.
If the Great Qian Dynasty really chooses to send a large army to fight the Jinxia coalition army somewhere else, and at the same time continue to attack their small Western Song court, then their small Western Song Dynasty court may be in danger.
After all, according to the current situation, it may not be long before Wu Jue will hit Xingyuan Mansion, and by then, Zhao Gou, who has no way to escape, may only be caught in the urn.
Seeing that Zhao Gou and Zhu Shengfei had realized the seriousness of the problem, Wang Luncai said again: "Liu Qi and Li Yanxian are just two partial generals, and they are not ordinary generals like Zong Ze and Wang Yuan, if it weren't for the two of them to provoke His Majesty the Emperor of my family, His Majesty the Emperor of my family would have seen the two of them being Ling Chi with his own eyes, how could the two of them be so important?" ”
Zhao Gou felt that Wang Lun's words had some truth.
However, Zhu Shengfei felt that there was likely to be a trap in Wang Lun's words.
But what is this trap, Zhu Shengfei couldn't think of it for a while.
At this time, Wang Lun directly gave an ultimatum to Zhao Gou and Zhu Shengfei: "Wang Lun has informed him that His Majesty the Emperor of my family has made it clear that these three articles are difficult to change, and you have no jokes, so either your family agrees to these three articles, and when Liu Qi and Li Yanxian's two families enter Beijing, it will be the day when our family withdraws their troops from Shaanxi, or if Wang Lun does not bring Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to Fengxiang Mansion within ten days, the army will resume attacking." ”
Does Zhao Gou have a choice?
No.
It should be said that Zhao Gou had a fight to the death with Li Cun, who annexed ninety percent of the territory of their Zhao and Song dynasties, arrested his father and brother and all the clans, and forced him into a corner?
If Li Cun didn't give Zhao Gou the slightest chance, it was clear that he wanted to kill Zhao Gou, and in order to survive, Zhao Gou might have the courage to lead the Song army, which was also desperate, to fight against the water.
But now, Li Cun has given Zhao Gou a chance to survive, and the peace conditions he gave are not too harsh, how could Zhao Gou not firmly seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Therefore, although Zhu Shengfei has been reminding Zhao Gou to be cautious and not to fall for Li Cun's tricks, Zhao Gou finally decided to fully agree to Li Cun's peace conditions.
Zhao Gou said to himself: "It is definitely wrong to kill the loyal ministers and good generals, but I have no choice. ”
Of course, the reason why Zhao Gou made such a decision was also because Geng Nanzhong, Mo Li and others, especially Mo Li, had been persuading Zhao Gou that the opportunity should not be lost and not come again, if it was not implemented quickly, it might be too late to surrender.
After making up his mind, Zhao Gou handed over the matter to Geng Nanzhong.
Geng Nanzhong immediately drafted an edict in Zhao Gou's tone, summoning Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to Xingyuan Mansion to discuss major matters.
Liu Qi is still only a commander now, and there is no fixed defense area, so as soon as he received Zhao Gou's edict, thinking that Zhao Gou was going to reward him for his defeat in person, and he was happy to reuse his Liu Qi in the future, he didn't think much about it at all, so he immediately took a dozen personal soldiers and quickly came to Xingyuan Mansion.
Because Li Yanxian wanted to stick to Shaanzhou, he was originally reluctant to go to Xingyuan Mansion to see Zhao Gou at this time.
But not only did Zhao Gou issue a holy decree to let Li Yanxian come to Xingyuan Mansion to go to Que quickly, Geng Nanzhong and others also hinted to Li Yanxian in their personal names that Zhao Gou wanted to reuse Li Yanxian and let Li Yanxian hurry to Xingyuan Mansion to be rewarded.
Li Yanxian has always had great ambitions and has always been eager to get ahead.
This may also be Li Yanxian's only weakness.
Therefore, Li Yanxian finally failed to resist the temptation of being promoted to the throne and reused by Emperor Zhao Gou, and chose to go to Xingyuan Mansion to go to Que.
As a result, it was not Zhao Gou who greeted Liu Qi and Li Yanxian at all, but Yang Yizhong.
Zhu Shengfei is not Qin Hui, he did not harm the courage of Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, two generals who obviously made great contributions to the small court of the Western Song Dynasty.
However, Zhu Shengfei is not Qin Hui, but Zhao Gou is still the Zhao Gou who can do anything in order to surrender and protect himself.
Seeing that Zhu Shengfei was unwilling to act for the tiger, Zhao Gou decisively reused Geng Nanzhong, who had always strongly supported the peace, to deal with Liu Qi and Li Yanxian.
After Geng Nanzhong had a secret discussion with Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou sent Yang Yizhong, who had a certain friendship with Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, to assist Geng Nanzhong in handling the matter.
And Geng Nanzhong's first task to Yang Yizhong was to escort Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to Dali Temple for trial.
Yang Yizhong was born in a military family, his grandfather Yang Zongmin was the head of the Yongxing Military Road, and his father Yang Zhen knew Linzhou Jianning Village, both of them were senior generals in the Western Army, and they were both staunch resistancers, and even the two of them are still on the front line of the anti-dry war, and they are deeply valued by Zhao Gou.
However, Yang Yizhong did not rise under the protection of his father and ancestors - he was Zhang Jun's general, brave in battle, and quite knowledgeable about the art of war, and soon stood out among Zhang Jun's generals. At that time, Zhang Jun served as Zhao Gou's bodyguard, and Yang Yizhong's actions left a good impression on Zhao Gou.
During the series of wars that took place during this time, Yang Yizhong had a good performance, and almost every battle was in the front, and he was finally favored by Zhao Gou and took charge of the guards.
After Yang Yizhong took charge of the Su Guard's personal army, he was not only able to complete the defense work excellently, but also often assisted other generals in fighting with the cadres.
Moreover, Yang Yizhong's strategy is conservative, more defensive, and rarely underestimates the enemy, but he often takes the lead in the battle and performs very bravely, which is very in line with Zhao Gou's expectations for the general.
The key is that Yang Yizhong has strong coordination ability and is good at handling relations with officials in the imperial court, so that whether it is the surrender faction or the main battle faction, Yang Yizhong is highly respected by the DPRK and China.
In addition, Yang Yizhong also has a lot of experience in ordnance manufacturing, at this stage, Yang Yizhong has been vigorously studying the firearms of the cadre army, he wants to equip the Song army with the same, or even better firearms, and then turn the tide of the war.
Such Yang Yizhong will undoubtedly be reused by Zhao Gou.
However, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and if you want to hold a rose, you must bear its wounds.
Now, Zhao Gou wants to use Liu Qi and Li Yanxian's family to surrender, and Yang Yizhong is undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt, of course, you say that Zhao Gou asked Yang Yizhong to surrender his name, and there is no problem.
To be honest, Yang Yizhong really doesn't want to do such a thing to frame loyal ministers and good generals.
But Yang Yizhong is the same person as Wu Lan, they are both the kind of soldiers with strong obedience, and for soldiers like them, the most important thing is the sentence that Li Cun often teaches cadres and soldiers: "Soldiers take obedience as their duty."
Therefore, after a series of psychological struggles, Yang Yizhong still chose to obey the order and went to "invite" Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to Dali Temple.
Seeing that Yang Yizhong led the army to "invite" himself to Dali Temple, instead of going to see Zhao Gou, Liu Qi's heart sank.
Liu Qi, who was extremely shrewd, immediately realized that something was wrong.
Liu Qi asked Yang Yizhong, who had a certain friendship with him, straightforwardly: "Why did you bring me and Shaoyan here, what happened?" ”
And Li Yanxian said with a sinking face: "I have worked hard for the country, why did I come here today?" ”
Yang Yizhong sighed, then handed the "Tang Mu" to Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, and then told them that some of their subordinates had accused them of wanting to rebel.
When Liu Qi and Li Yanxian heard that the small court of the Western Song Dynasty had deceived them from the front line with such a ridiculous charge, they were all furious, especially Li Yanxian, who pointed out mercilessly: "If it weren't for me and Uncle Xin leading the troops to fight to the death on the front line, the cadres might have entered Shu, and those who said that I rebelled with Uncle Xin would be punished!" ”
Liu Qi asked: "I want to know, who said that I and Shaoyan want to rebel?" ”
Of course, Yang Yizhong couldn't say that he had the courage to ask Geng Nanzhong what Liu Qi and Li Yanxian were guilty of, but Geng Nanzhong just said lightly: "Someone reported that these two people want to rebel, is there no need?" ”
Yang Yizhong is not Han Shizhong in the end, he didn't ask the sentence: "Xianggong, the three words "unnecessary", how can he serve the world? ”
Of course, this is also because Yang Yizhong understands that the culprit of this matter is Zhao Gou, and if he asks so, his career may also be over.
Yang Yizhong didn't say anything, he just bowed deeply to Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, and said with great guilt: "Yang Yizhong is ashamed of the two brothers!" ”
After speaking, Yang Yizhong shut up and never said a word again.
Seeing this, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian couldn't guess that there was a chance that Zhao Gou did this, otherwise, even if the person who wanted to move them was Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong would never be like this.
said that there was no intention, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian could only go to Dali Temple with Yang Yizhong.
Here, after reading all the documents related to this case, the presiding judge He Zhu felt that most of them were false and could not constitute the crime of rebellion, so he reported this fact to Geng Nanzhong.
When Geng Nanzhong heard this, he said unhappily: "This is the holy will. ”
He Zhu had already realized that this case was basically composed of false accusations and fabrications, so he would never like to add fuel to the trouble and fall into the ground, so he said: "I am not defending Liu Qi and Li Yanxian; It is believed that at present, the great enemy is present, and putting two meritorious generals to death for no reason will definitely hurt the hearts of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty and will not be conducive to the long-term stability of the country. ”
He Zhu said this, although Geng Nanzhong was speechless, however, He Zhu was soon transferred from Dali Temple by Zhao Gou and used Wan Qian to try this unjust case.
After the villain Wan Qiaoyu presided over the interrogation, the situation changed directly, Wan Qiaowei put those fabricated documents on the table, and shouted to Liu Qi and Li Yanxian: "How could the Great Song Dynasty fail the two of you, why did you two rebel?!" ”
Liu Qi was full of anger and rushed to the crown, and he shouted loudly to Wan Qiyu and the others: "Liu Qi swears to the heavens: I will never fail to the Great Song Dynasty!" Don't frame Zhongliang! If I am falsely accused to death, I will confront you and others when I go to Hades! ”
Liu Qi was angry and excited, unconsciously pointing to the sky and the earth, his body was constantly stirring, and his arms were constantly stretching and bending!
It is not difficult to see from this that Liu Qi's anger.
And Li Yanxian is a completely different picture, he clenched his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, and didn't say a word!
Seeing that Liu Qi and Li Yanxian refused to admit their guilt, Wan Qiaoqiao could only let the jailers keep torturing Liu Qi and Li Yanxian.
In the face of Wan Qiao's and others' desire to bend into a move, Liu Qi insisted that he was not guilty, while Li Yanxian always closed his eyes and didn't say a word, letting the jailers torture him.
Encountering the two hard bones of Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, Wan Qiaowei had no choice.
Moreover, Geng Nanzhong conveyed Zhao Gou, to be precise, what Li Cun meant, that is, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, who Li Cun wanted to live, if they were too heavy and tortured Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to death, then their sycophants might be slapped on the horse's legs.
Therefore, Wan Qiaoduo and others hurried to explain the situation to Geng Nanzhong and ask for instructions.
Geng Nanzhong didn't dare to take this idea, so he could only go and ask Zhao Gou for instructions.
Coincidentally, Wang Lun also heard that Zhao Gou and others were severely tortured Liu Qi and Li Yanxian.
Although Wang Lun didn't know what Li Cun wanted Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to do, Li Cun clearly explained that Wang Lun had to bring Liu Qi and Li Yanxian and their families back intact.
How dare Wang Lun disobey Li Cun's orders?
Therefore, Wang Lun immediately found Zhao Gou and told Zhao Gou that he must immediately stop the torture of Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, and immediately hand over Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to himself.
Zhao Gou was very embarrassed and said: "If these two people don't admit their guilt, how can Xiao Wang explain to the military and civilians?" The ambassador is not in a hurry, just wait for the two of them to confess, Xiao Wang immediately stabbed the two of them, and when they were on the ground, the ambassador sent someone to intercept the two of them. ”
Who would have thought, Wang Lun was extremely tough this time, he said with a cold face: "How to explain to the army and the people, that is your King Kang's business, Wang Lun's imperial order is to take the two of them back to Beijing, if you torture the two of them to death, or are so seriously injured that the two of them die on the road, not only Wang Lun can't hand over this imperial order, but you King Kang is afraid that you will also have to bear the emperor's wrath!" ”
"This ......"
Seeing that Zhao Gou still wanted to find a step for himself, Wang Lun said very unhappily: "King Kang is not going to lose a big loss because of a small one, Wang Lun reminded King Kang that there are only three days left, which is when Wu Dutong sends troops, if I am King Kang, I must hand over the two of them to me first, so that I can take them to Fengxiang, so as not to open the army." ”
Wang Lun is so tough, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian have put on a posture of not admitting guilt again, and if they delay any longer, there will be no good results, and Zhao Gou can only want to cover up and make people make the illusion that Liu Qi and Li Yanxian are afraid of crime and escape from prison, but in fact, he secretly sent Yang Yizhong to take Liu Qi and Li Yanxian out of Xingyuan Mansion and hand them over to Wang Lun.
Liu Qi and Li Yanxian came to Wang Lun's side, and then turned back to look at Xingyuan Mansion together.
At this time, whether it was Liu Qi or Li Yanxian, their eyes were full of undisguised hatred.
Among them, Li Yanxian, who was silent before, was particularly fierce.
Among the people present, one counts as one, and they can all see that Li Yanxian's eyes are full of "Zhao Gou, you wait for me, I, Li Yanxian, will definitely come back to you for revenge"!
At this moment, Yang Yizhong, who was still standing not far away and had not left, couldn't help but think: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you may have made a big mistake......
