Chapter 694: Goryeo's Response
Su Shi's face changed from a smile just now to a serious one, and then said: "Even if it is a meeting, please show sincerity, if not, then there is no need to talk about it." It's a big deal that our Su family army will go all the way north to kill it, Envoy Zhang, you must know that this Heavenly King is not joking, we have such ability. ”
The first is to be honest, and then to come up with benefits.
If none of that works, then only the threat remains.
And Su Shi's threat is not to scare people verbally, but that he really has the ability to do something.
It's a cold day outside, and it's not a good time for an ordinary army to fight. But this kind of bad weather has very little impact on Su Jiajun.
With their sophisticated equipment to protect against the cold, although the Su army will also be restricted by some heavy snow, it is much better than the Liao army. If Su Jiajun really wants to make a move, it is conceivable that the Liao State will inevitably suffer a lot of damage.
This is exactly what those old men in the Liao court don't want to see.
Su Shi gave a three-day deadline, which was clearly telling Zhang Jian that there is not much time for you to choose, don't really force the two sides to meet each other.
Zhang Jian walked out of Su Shi's main tent and returned to his tent with a heavy face.
Coming from Shangjing, Liao Xingzong gave him the right to arbitrary. Su Shi is willing to cooperate with Liao and is willing to have friendship with Liao, which is the goal of Liao.
It can be said that Su Shi's words today can already make Zhang Jian go back to the errand, but he personally wants more.
For example, Su Shi was the first to join the Liao State. If you can't, is it possible to let Su Shi be farther away from Liao, and it is best to go to the sea and the ocean, and never appear.
No matter how bad it is, he also wants to restrain the number of Su Jiajun's troops, as long as Su Shi shows a little weakness, Zhang Jian will make this request.
As long as the Su family's army is limited, then there is no need to worry about their idea of fighting the Liao State.
But now, Su Shi has always been very tough, and there are some things that Zhang Jian has no chance to say at all.
Now there is a three-day appointment, I'm afraid that when the time comes, if I don't agree to the other party, then Liao and Su Shi will become opponents, if that's the case, Liao will definitely be hit hard, even if it wins, it won't get any benefits.
The negotiation fell into passivity, or Zhang Jian did not take advantage of it at the beginning, which had to make him wonder if Su Shi had already known some of Liao's policies towards him.
In fact, Su Shi did learn about the situation in the Liao court one step ahead of Mei Yang, especially some of his own policies, so that he was able to accurately grasp Zhang Jian's seven inches and know what should be said and what should not be said.
This was an unfair negotiation in the first place.
Su Shi has long known the hole cards of Liao.
On the contrary, Zhang Jian didn't know anything about Su Shi.
Although Zhang Jian was a famous minister of the Liao State, he was also a wise man. But under the inferior conditions in all aspects, as soon as the three-day period arrived, he still had to appear in front of Su Shi to express his agreement.
In the past three days, Su Shi didn't do nothing, on the contrary, he asked Su Jiajun to step up his training, even though it was very cold outside, freezing three feet, but Su Jiajun was wearing warm down jackets one by one, and his enthusiasm for training was still very high.
This is what Zhang Jian is looking at.
Look at it, in such a cold weather, the Su family army did not stop practicing, so he asked, is your Liao State really willing to be an enemy of such a powerful army?
Looking at Su Jiajun, who started to practice every day, Zhang Jianming knew that the other party was doing it for himself, but he still felt scared.
For nothing else, Zhang Jian knew that in such bad weather, the Liao State would not easily dispatch troops. With this, they are in a passive position.
Even if you can't fight, you can only make peace.
There is no one to hinder him, and there is no so-called Wenchen to stand up and force him, this kind of situation is under control in his own hands It feels very good, which also makes Su Shi full of confidence in this negotiation.
Sure enough, three days later, Zhang Jian agreed.
He also said that after giving him seven to ten days, he would notify all the Liao cities along the way to Goryeo to be cleared by the Su army.
Zhang Jian is still fighting for time, but not for Liao, but for Goryeo.
I didn't know where Su Shi would go before, and I couldn't prepare if I wanted to.
Now that they know what Su Shi's goal is, and the Liao State doesn't want to start a war with it, the only thing left is to inform Goryeo and see if they can come forward to curb the development of the Su family's army.
"Yes."
Zhang Jian still needed seven to ten days, and Su Shi agreed with a smile.
With Su Shi's mind, he could think of what Zhang Jian was going to do, but as far as he was concerned, he didn't care at all.
Gao Li didn't put it in Su Shi's eyes, even if the other party had already prepared, so what?
The so-called intrigues and tricks ultimately depend on the final strength of both sides. And in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is just a child's trick.
Zhang Jian left, saying that he wanted to inform the Liaoguo city along the way, and Su Shi sent him away with a smile. At the time of farewell, he also took out a set of high-grade glass art and gave it to the other party. said that he wanted him to give it to Liao Xingzong to express his gratitude for making way.
Zhang Jian took it with a smile and left with the team. Seeing his team moving away in the heavy snow, Fang Jiugui from the military department in the crowd behind him stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the Heavenly King, why did you give them such good things? ”
"It's like, it's worth a lot of money." Minister of State Fu Bi also showed dissatisfaction on his face.
In his eyes, Su Shi is young, vigorous, and very strong.
Such a person should not bow his head easily.
"Hehe, is this thing valuable? Forget it, even if it's very valuable, but now that it's given to Liao Xingzong, it's just for him to help keep it. Someday, we will get it back soon, and you remember that day is not too far away. ”
Su Shi laughed, full of spirit, and with a confident face.
It's just a set of glass crafts, and there are as many as there are in the system. It's just because Su Shi has been in the way of hunger marketing and hasn't come up with a few sets that the value has been high.
Such a thing is naturally nothing in Su Shi's eyes.
It's just that since other people have doubts, Su Shi doesn't mind explaining, and at the same time, he is also telling them that sooner or later he will be the enemy of Liao, and everyone must have a certain psychological preparation.
"Well, in seven days, we will set off, the road is still far away, and we will go." Su Shi smiled again, at this moment, he and everyone were full of expectations for the future.
......
Korea.
Seogyong, Kaeongseong, Goryeo Capital.
King Munjong was the supreme ruler of Goryeo during this period.
As the eleventh king of Goryeo, during the reign of King Munjong, the country was well governed, and the Goryeo Dynasty was politically clear, the economy was highly prosperous, and it was in a peaceful and prosperous situation.
I don't know if Su Shi's luck is good or bad.
Whether people are reborn or crossed, most of them are in troubled times.
In troubled times, it is more conducive to fishing in troubled waters, so as to re-establish a new country.
But the period when Su Shi came was an era of peace in the general environment. This was true of Song In-song, and so was Goryeo Munjong.
Fortunately, there are disadvantages and advantages, under the prosperous age, the population is large, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Su Shi to get more faith points.
The moment Su Shi decided to use Goryeo as the landing point, the Flying Eagle Squadron, which had been renamed the reconnaissance battalion, sent three teams to Goryeo to investigate the situation.
More than a month ago, Meng Youde, the person in charge of Longyin, got off early and went straight to Goryeo all the way out of Jianxing.
Two days ago, Meng Youde sent back the news that he had arrived in Goryeo and had a basic understanding of the situation there. That is, the so-called prosperous era of Goryeo is basically the same as that of the Great Song Dynasty, and the good ones are the gentry and the powerful, as for the ordinary people, they still live in dire straits.
Especially in the Huangcaoling area, because of the geographical location close to the Liao State, it is often invaded by the Liao cavalry and plundered in the way of hitting the grass valley, and the people here often die because they can't eat enough.
This is the so-called prosperous age of the ancients. As long as the majority of the people can have food to eat, and they will not be starved to death or frozen to death, they can be called prosperous.
Let's talk about opening the capital of Goryeo Palace.
King Wenzong sat tall, looking at the civil and military courtiers below, his face was a little unpleasant.
Just last night, the Liao State sent news that a Great Song rebel army who claimed to be the Dragon Heavenly King named Su Shi was traveling through the Liao border at this time, and its destination was Goryeo, asking them to prepare in advance.
The news also said that this man named Su Shi had a very good set of battles, and if Goryeo was careless, he would probably suffer a big loss.
When the news came, the high-level gentlemen of Goryeo couldn't sit still.
For this person sitting at home, the misfortune that came from heaven, everyone didn't know what to say, so Wenzong called the ministers early the next morning to discuss countermeasures.
"Zhong Aiqing, does anyone know about Su Shi?" At the beginning of the meeting, Wenzong asked a very important question.
However, it was such a simple question, but the important ministers of Goryeo looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.
King Wenzong Wang Hui adopted the strategy of boring development, or it can also be said to be the policy of closing the country.
With the continuous reform of internal affairs, the general situation in Goryeo is indeed much better than before, and they have not had a foreign war for many years. Just like last year's Song Liao and other four-clan wars, they only heard about it, and never had the intention of participating in it.
When the final result came, saying that the Great Song Dynasty had withstood the attacks of Liao, Western Xia and Mengman, they only sighed that Song was Song, and the country of the Central Plains was very powerful, which made them admire.
However, no one knows the process of the specific battle.
Or it can be simply said that they don't care at all, as long as it's not themselves.
And because the final result was that Da Song won, they gave birth to the idea of wanting to make friends with Da Song at a deeper level.
Some people died, but not completely......
