Chapter 202: Peace Talks

The Kuaima envoys had already set off, and they sent the Song envoy to the Northwest Military Road, and the Northwest Military Road was sent to the Western Xia side to discuss the agenda of the peace negotiation. The schedule can be discussed, but Ouyang wrote that the envoy Wenming said, the location Ouyang said, and the imperial court only gave this deadline. The letter was delivered to Li Qianshun, and although the tone was still respectful, everyone who spoke clearly could see the impatient and arrogant tone in the letter.

Ouyang put on a high posture at the beginning, and ordered the mission not to hurry and stop when it arrived in the state. And Ouyang's attitude of vainly trying to provoke a war was quickly impeached to Zhao Yuna. Saying that Ouyang had a negative trust and so on, Zhao Yu smiled. She knew that Ouyang's motive for delaying time would not be so simple, so she didn't care. She cares that she has set the rule of resuming the war in two months, whether Ouyang Cheng or not, the Western Xia soldiers and the Western Xia Kingdom will become history within this year.

Zhu Da has become the exclusive captain of Ouyang's guard when he was on a mission, the offensive and defensive battles of Huixian County, the Yuzhou War, and the Western Xia Peace Conference. He knows Ouyang's living habits well. Zhu Da was in the forbidden army and belonged to the internal guard. This is an important means for Ouchi to grasp the security of Tokyo. Internal guards were arranged in the Tokyo Forbidden Army, and they usually trained with the Forbidden Army, and there was no difference in being punished. The difference is that the salary is relatively high, and there is also the control of his own command of the troops, and he is loyal to Zhao Yu.

Spending the night in a certain county, Ouyang invited Zhu Da to drink together. Although Zhu Da was better than Ouyang in terms of drinking, he definitely lost to Ouyang in small actions, so Zhu Da was drunk. Some people like to sleep when they are drunk, some like to cry, some like to laugh, and some like to dance. And Zhu Da is a person who drinks more and talks more.

"Martial arts are the best?" Zhu Da shook his head and said: "The best martial arts of the Tokyo Forbidden Army should be three, two, and one. Adults don't know what three-two-one is, right? Let me tell you, three, is the golden three. The second is Zhao ***, and the other is a bamboo pole. It's strange, why is it a bamboo pole? Jin San, well, is the birdman who doesn't know anyone, and *** one day because of Xiaocui got into a fight. Jin San said that Xiaocui was his hometown, and *** said that Xiaocui was his friend. So I pinched it in the Spring Breeze Pavilion. First with a fist, then with a bench, and finally with a knife. Hit from upstairs to downstairs, from downstairs to the street, from the street to ...... All the way to the City God Temple at the east gate. was in a hurry, threw the knife, picked up a bamboo pole and picked up Jin San. Brush brush brush three moves, I looked stupid at the time, every stab of the bamboo pole is a killing move, and every move is towards the golden three key points. Just talking about brushing brushes, after brushing the four holes on Jin San's body, one of them went directly through and became two holes. That's ruthless, but fortunately, we saw that there was going to be a death, so it was okay to stop it. At that time, he also asked Jin San: Do you know that the gun is the king of a hundred soldiers. ”

Ouyang asked casually: "How is Jin San?" ”

"To say that our brothers usually don't like Jin San, but they were very men at the time. Jin San was injured and clenched his fists and said, I admit defeat. But I'll win you sooner or later. After that, about once a month. How does this stupid boy know, who is ***? It is our Ouchi people, known as the first gun king in Ouchi, and playing with him is tantamount to looking for death. They started practicing guns at the age of three and have been practicing for 30 years. Every time he competed, Jin San came back bloody. ”

Ouyang nodded and asked, "Who is that Xiaocui?" ”

"Cut, a***. It's very straight, his face is a little darker, his hands and feet are thick, he can only mix in the kiln, he doesn't patronize even a little position in the forbidden army, and those who will go are the most inferior coarse, why? It's cheap! I heard my brother say that the kung fu in the Spring Breeze Pavilion bed can be ranked in the top three. Zhu Daleng asked after a while: "Where did you just go?" ”

"Speaking of Jin San, bloody back."

"By the way, if you want to say that Jin San is not bad, he found that he was really not used to using guns, so he worked hard under the knife. Although it is basically a loss compared to ***, if you want to say that Tokyo is the best at making knives, it must be Jin San. This kid doesn't have a flower stand, and he is fast, ruthless, accurate, and stable. You cut off one of his arms, and he can cut off your head. ”

It seems that what has been said is almost enough, Ouyang went out to say hello, and two forbidden soldiers at the door came in and helped Zhu Da, who was still talking, to go back. A forbidden soldier apologized: "Don't be surprised, my lord, General Zhu is very good at talking as soon as he drinks, and when people ask him the next day, he doesn't know anything." Rather, we have falsely accused him. ”

"It seems that General Zhu's wine is not very good." Ouyang smiled: "It's okay, General Zhu and I are not outsiders." Take good care of it. ”

"Yes!"

Ouyang can only put this matter in his heart, because the object of suspicion is the first boss of the Great Song Dynasty, the credibility around him has been greatly reduced. He and Ou Ping are friends of master and servant, Zhanming is a friend of confidants, and Huilan is a friend of kindness and righteousness, in addition to these three people, Ouyang would rather trust his business partners Su Qian and Zhou An than trust others.

I stopped and walked all the way, and finally arrived at the unnamed county in the Hexi Corridor in the last month of the deadline. It is said that the county is nameless because it was a temporary county seat after the resumption of the war in Song and Xixia. One purpose is to gather the military and civilians in the Hexi Corridor, and the second purpose is to serve as a logistics supply point for the former army. It can also be said to be an important military town with more soldiers than civilians.

Han Shizhong sent people to meet the Qincha guards ten miles away with the magistrate. Ouyang was happy when he saw this, isn't this one of the few soldiers in Han Shizhong's own soldiers who can write his name? That's too improvised. However, it can also be seen that literacy has a much greater chance of promotion than illiteracy. The requirements for literacy in the army are not too high, and during the period of the Republic of China's resistance against Japan, as long as the government army abandoned school and joined the army, most of them were second lieutenants. From this point it can also be seen that even after nearly 1,000 years, the standard of education in China is still very low.

This prefect will report to the imperial court at that time, and if the battle is won, a Tuzhi county that is familiar with the local area will be much more useful than the sour Confucian sent by the central government. What's more, after occupying all the land of Western Xia, there will be a lot more real shortages. Or to say that even Confucian civil officials were in favor of fighting the war.

After the salute, he drove into the nameless county. Han Shizhong was not here, but in a big tent two hundred miles away. According to the strategy, his main force had two strategic purposes, one was to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and kill all the troops who left the city and the troops supporting Xingqing Mansion. The second purpose was to support the Yongxing Military Road in the east and Liu Qi's headquarters in the west. As long as he keeps this strategy, the other two ways can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and the whole situation will be alive.

The biggest advantage of strategizing is that it is not decided by one or several battles. For example, in the battle of Hubugangda between Liao and Jin, the Liao people wasted their absolute superiority in troops and logistics, did not have a clear strategy, but were bent on finding the decisive battle of Jin's main force, and did not fully estimate the follow-up means of the defeat of the war.

In the face of the Great Song Dynasty, which surpassed them in terms of fighting style, weapons, morale, and logistics, the people of the Western Xia knew that unless the Great Song Dynasty was in civil strife, the defeat of the Western Xia was decided. As for what iron harriers, they are all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in front of firearms.

The nameless county entered the area of possible engagement a hundred miles to the north, and the Qincha Guard, which numbered several hundred people, was only a drop in the ocean for the war. Han left 5,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 infantry led by a general to protect the advance of the Qincha guards.

After a hundred miles, ascending to the heights, you can vaguely see the city of Xingqing Mansion, Ouyang changed the negotiation location, and continued, until thirty miles of Xingqing Mansion, several villages where Song Chongjun gathered, did he stop. When Han Shizhong heard this, he hurriedly ordered the big tent to move towards Ouyang's location.

There were still more than 20 days before the deadline, and the first letter written by Ouyang himself was sent to Xingqing Mansion. Li Qianshun was furious as soon as he saw the beginning, and Song bullied no one in Western Xia, so he actually set the negotiation location in a barren town twenty miles from Xingqing Mansion. What is it called? It's called the Alliance of the Castle. It's a humiliation. But what about even if you regenerate gas? Tens of thousands of Song troops in the west were invincible, and the general was Liu Qi, who had changed his face when the Western Xia people heard about it. And the central 130,000 army hoarded Xingqing Mansion or so. If you changed it half a year ago, you could still have a fight, but now that the war horses are almost eaten up, how can you fight with others?

Moreover, this Ouyang is a well-known master of infiltration, with a little care, tomorrow there will be fires on all sides in Xingqing Mansion, and everyone will rebel. Press Patience and then look at it, fortunately, the following words are still more polite. He said that the two countries have been friendly for generations, and in the spirit of having something to discuss, he hoped that the Western Xia would show sincerity and send people out of the city for peace talks.

In the first negotiation, Li Huan vs. Ouyang!

Li Huan said: "Harmony is precious. ”

Ouyang asked, "How expensive?" ”

Li Huan replied: "Priceless! ”

Ouyang took out a stack of silver tickets and smashed them on the table: "Then who, 10,000 yuan, come and mix with me." ”

was instructed to Li Huan's attendant stepped forward to collect the cash ticket: "Master Ou, the small Qian Qi." ”

"Well, let's go later." Ouyang swept his hair and asked, "How expensive?" ”

"You're deceiving people too much." Li Huan gritted his teeth.

Ouyang pointed behind him and said, "I brought twenty people, cheaper, five thousand each." You took thirty men, ten thousand thousand. Let's bet on whether you, Xixia, can buy all my people, or whether I, Ouyang, can sweep away all of you. Boy, there are few people in the world who dare to say that Ouyang is expensive. ”

Zhang San said: "General Li, my family can transfer 10,000 yuan for a letter. Usually the least rare, people say it's expensive. ”

Ouyang Dao: "It's not to blow with you, and I don't need the Song Dynasty to go out, my assets alone can be smashed into the Western Xia." That's why I don't like to hear anything about everything. Take out the charter, I will do it if it is good, and I will not do it if it is not good. It's simple, it's clear. ”

"What do you want?" Li Huan finally softened.

"What's the hurry?" Ouyang said: "Since we are old friends, we are also fated to have a drink together." Come on, serve wine! ”

Li Huan bit his lip and took a sip of wine, put the bowl away and said, "You can talk about business." ”

"I've checked, although your Laozi is a royal family, he is only a second-grade official in Western Xia, and he earns 200 yuan a month." Ouyang took out a piece of paper and said: "There is an equity transfer letter here, if you are willing to come over, the monthly dividend will be at least 1,000 yuan." ”

"You're dreaming." Li Huan was insulted and furious.

Ouyang took another piece of paper: "The dividend is 3,000 yuan per month, 100 acres of fertile land, and two sets of houses in Tokyo." ”

"You ......"

Ouyang took out another piece of paper: "Seal the scholar of Hanlin University, the second grade of official residence." ”

"I'm ......" Li Huan swallowed his saliva, pulled his fist and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

Zhang San saw the Western Xia envoy walking away and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what does this mean?" ”

Ouyang tore off a few pieces of paper and said, "Framed, what else can it mean." Anyway, you can't do this Lord's little shrimp, and you can't get any benefits from talking. It's better to let them be suspicious. No matter how wise Li Qianshun is, he doesn't dare to completely disbelieve it at this time, you must know that Li Huan is a general with real power. ”

That night, the Qincha Guards received the news that Li Huan and his son were under house arrest.

Li Huan played against Ouyang, and Li Huan was defeated.
