…

Thinking about what Le He meant, Cai You looked at Le He in disbelief and asked, "You taught me to advocate ceding Shandong and Hebei to Jiang Yan?!" ”

Le He ignored Cai You's surprise or even disbelief, but asked quietly: "If that's not the case, why persuade Jiang Yan to accept Zhao'an and fight the other three guys?" ”

"This ......"

Is Jiang Hongfei a fool?

Definitely not.

If Jiang Hongfei was a fool, how could he have saved up such a big force in just a few years?

You must know that now the power of Shuibo Liangshan is so great that it can even threaten the survival of the Zhao Song Dynasty!

Is Jiang Hongfei a person like Song Jiang who is "loyal and patriotic" and eager to recruit peace?

Although Cai You has not confirmed some news, he has also heard some rumors.

For example, Li Shishi, the world's first prostitute who mysteriously disappeared at the beginning, was actually taken away by Jiang Hongfei.

For another example, the heirloom jade seal in Tian Hu's hand was given to Tian Hu by Jiang Hongfei, and even the jade seal in the hands of Wang Qing and Fang La was given by Jiang Hongfei.

If these two news are confirmed, Jiang Hongfei even dares to steal Zhao Ji's woman, and even the jade seal of the Zhao Song Dynasty, he must be a chaotic minister and thief, loyal and patriotic? It's okay to have nothing to do with Jiang Hongfei!

Looking at Jiang Hongfei's decisive attitude towards the Zhao and Song Dynasty's dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry families, it is clear that he wants to destroy the ruling foundation of the Zhao Song Dynasty!

On the whole, how can Jiang Hongfei have the slightest meaning of loyalty and patriotism?

If Cai You is asked to say, a chaotic minister and thief like Jiang Hongfei has no need to recruit security at all.

But the problem is that this matter is not what Cai You said.

Seeing that Cai You didn't speak, Le Heyu was not shocked and said: "Don't hide it, if the villain is not mistaken, the implementation of the restraint system in Shandong and Hebei is just the basis for Liangshan thieves to accept Zhao'an, and on this basis, they may ask for more excessive conditions." ”

"More excessive conditions?!" Cai You frowned and asked.

Le He nodded: "Like a king, a family, war reparations." ”

Cai You was shocked and said: "Isn't this a defeat and peace, where is Zhao'an?!" ”

Le He sighed: "Alas! In today's situation, in the eyes of the Liangshan thieves, my Great Song Dynasty is either recruiting peace or seeking peace. ”

Speaking of this, Le He said "heartily": "The villain told Xianggong truthfully, also in order not to teach Xianggong to run this trip in vain, and to add risks to this risk-free recruitment." ”

As soon as he heard the word "risk", Cai You's heart rose again!

After hesitating, Cai You went to the palace again, and after seeing Zhao Ji, Cai You said hesitantly: "Official, I don't know...... Under what conditions should the minister recruit An Jiangyan? ”

There were some things that Zhao Ji didn't want to be said by him, the emperor, himself, so he said vaguely: "Jiang Yan and his gang are not evil, and they are not determined to rebel against the imperial court, but they can be supplemented by heavy rewards and recruit An to surrender, so as to defeat the rest of the three Kou and drive the tiger and devour the wolf." ”

Cai You understood that Zhao Ji was willing to give Jiang Hongfei and Shuibo Liangshan's people a heavy reward in exchange for Jiang Hongfei and Shuibo Liangshan's submission to the Zhao Song Dynasty, so as to achieve the Zhao Song Dynasty's goal of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf.

But the question is, Cai You is not sure, is Zhao Ji willing to cede the land and pay compensation and relatives to achieve this goal?

Therefore, relying on the fact that he was Zhao Ji's friend, Cai You simply made his words clear: "The official family, I am only afraid of Jiang Yan's wolf ambitions, and I want to get the Liangshan army to make the envoy, ask the king of Qi, cut off Shandong and Hebei with them, and make the world guard ......."

After Cai You finished speaking, Zhao Ji's heart couldn't help but pout!

Jiang Hongfei's possible conditions, the huge Zhao and Song Dynasty, how could no one have thought of it?

In fact, as soon as Zhao Ji appointed Cai You as the envoy of Zhao'an, he ordered to go to Shuibo Liangshan to recruit Jiang Hongfei on the same day, and two old ministers found Zhao Ji successively and told Zhao Ji that Su Yuanjing and Hou Meng's generation thought about recruiting Jiang Hongfei too simply, and if the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts went to recruit Jiang Hongfei, they would inevitably be regarded by Jiang Hongfei as a defeated peacemaker, and then put forward conditions such as land reparations and relatives.

The first minister to come to Zhao Ji was Cai Jing, who had been in charge of the Zhao Song Dynasty for seventeen years.

Cai Jing heard that his eldest son Cai You was appointed by Zhao Ji as the envoy of Zhao'an to be responsible for recruiting Jiang Hongfei was about to go to Shuibo Liangshan, and hurriedly rushed to the Chongzheng Palace, wept and paused, and said to Zhao Ji: "Official, Zhao'an is a major matter, involving the country, that Jiang Yan, the land of Qi and Wei, is it an ordinary person, Cai You is an ignorant and ignorant person, let him be in charge of such a major event, wouldn't it be a mistake for the official family to drive the tiger and devour the wolf?" Never! May the official family save the lives of the old ministers. ”

Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "The old lady is too worried, the eldest prince is talented and handsome, it will be good for him to go to recruit An Jiangyan to sharpen it." ”

Cai Jing knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "Then, please follow the example of the minister, and ask the official family to pardon the minister's innocence." ”

Expand the mother, that is, the mother of Zhao Kuo. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Kuo's mother heard that the king of Zhao wanted his son Zhao Kuo to lead his troops to fight, and immediately wrote a letter to persuade Zhao Kuo not to be allowed to serve as a general. King Zhao didn't listen, so he went to the palace and said to King Zhao: "If he fails to lead troops in the future, don't blame me." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji frowned and said, "What does the old lady mean?" ”

Cai Jing asserted at this time: "Jiang Yan, Xiao Xiongye." Nine times out of ten, he will ask for the restraint of Shandong and Hebei, ask for the king, and maybe ask for the New Year's coins and the emperor, but even so, he may not cooperate with the imperial court to exterminate the other three Kou. ”

Speaking of this, Cai Jing burst into tears: "Whoever talks about such a recruiting condition will inevitably be spurned, and what's more, lose his official life and lose his life, even affecting his family, the old minister Xining has been a scholar for three years, although there have been three ups and downs halfway, but he has always thought of the imperial court, and has served my Great Song Dynasty for more than 50 years. ”

Although Zhao Ji felt that Cai Jing was old, he never doubted Cai Jing's judgment.

On the contrary, as a partner for seventeen years, Zhao Ji knows better than anyone how accurate Cai Jing's judgment is.

Let's put it this way, before Wang Huang, Zhao Ji didn't find that anyone could replace Cai Jing, if it weren't for Cai Jing's opposition to Lianjin's strategy of destroying Liao and recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, which Zhao Ji vigorously promoted, Cai Jing would still be the prime minister of the Zhao Song Dynasty now.

Therefore, Cai Jing judged that Jiang Hongfei was by no means the kind of person who could recruit peace by giving two jujubes, and he definitely wanted to cede the land and pay compensation, and even be crowned queen, Zhao Ji realized what Jiang Hongfei represented in Zhao'an?

Zhao Ji was silent for a long time before he asked Cai Jing: "Old lady, do you think that Gao Taiwei can exterminate Jiang Yan?" ”

After hearing this, Cai Jing was silent for a long time before he said leisurely: "Politics, economy, military, equipment, soldiers, time, place, and people, there are too many factors that affect the outcome of the war, and the minister really can't predict whether Gao Taiwei can exterminate Jiang Yan." The minister only knows...... I can't lose again, otherwise ......"

"Otherwise," Cai Jing didn't say it.

But Zhao Ji understood that what Cai Jing wanted to say was: "Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

After Cai Jing left, Zheng Juzhong, a member of the Privy Council, also came to ask to see Zhao Ji.

Zheng Juzhong is very tall, about 1.85 meters or more, nicknamed "Zheng Big Man", he is Li Qingzhao's maternal grandfather, Qin Hui's wife Wang's grandfather's grandfather Wang Qi's son-in-law, Wang Qi served as the prime minister in the Song Dynasty Shenzong era. Therefore, Zheng Juzhong has been in a good relationship since he entered the career of the Jinshi in the examination, and his position has been promoted step by step.

At the same time, Zheng Juzhong is also very good at relationships, he originally didn't know Zhao Ji's queen Empress Zheng at all, but because both parties were surnamed Zheng, he actually climbed high branches and said that he was Empress Zheng's uncle and cousin.

Just in time for Empress Zheng to become the queen at that time, her mother didn't have a character who could help her.

Empress Zheng recognized Zheng Juzhong's relative.

So, the two people who couldn't be beaten by eight poles had a relationship.

At the beginning, Empress Zheng was very uneasy about Zhao Ji's plan to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and she felt that the Zhao Song Dynasty, as a large country in the Central Plains, did not need to contact the Jurchens. If you want to rely on these barbarians to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, is that possible? Now, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and there are scenes of singing and dancing everywhere, everyone cares about their happy life, who cares about what Yanyun has lost?

Empress Zheng thought about it again and again, and finally persuaded Zhao Ji head-on.

But Zhao Ji didn't listen.

There was no way, Empress Zheng could only find Zheng Juzhong through his father Zheng Shen and ask Zheng Juzhong to persuade Zhao Ji to be cautious.

As a result, Zheng Juzhong became the main force opposing Lianjin's plan to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Zheng Juzhong also heard that Zhao Ji was going to let Cai You serve as an envoy to recruit Jiang Hongfei, so he entered the palace to ask to see Zhao Ji.

After meeting, Zheng Juzhong asserted: "Jiang Yan, a chaotic minister and thief, must not be a loyal and righteous person!" Gao Taiwei and Shijiedu suffered a great defeat on the battlefield, fueling the thief's flames, he will open his mouth and ask for Shandong and Hebei, which is the king, and he may dare to be delusional! ”

Zhao Ji listened and asked quietly: "Then Aiqing is against Zhao'an Jiangyan?" ”

I don't want to, but Zheng Juzhong sighed, and then said: "If Gao Yu and Shijiedu do not lose their teachers and humiliate the country, the ministers will oppose this matter, but the current situation has taught me that the Great Song Dynasty has to be wronged!" ”

Zhao Ji asked: "What does Aiqing mean by this?" ”

Zheng Juzhong said: "Now that my Great Song Dynasty is fighting on all sides, so far, there is no hope of winning anywhere, so I have to stop one side and teach me that the Great Song Dynasty has slowed down." ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Juzhong began to hesitate: "It's just ...... Which side to stop? Fang La will definitely not be able to stop, he occupies the food and economic lifeline of my Great Song Dynasty, and he will inevitably recover it with the strength of the whole country; Tian Hu is the same, he took the jade seal of the country as the name, supported millions of soldiers, and snatched the land of Guanzhong, which is the land of the Qin and Han dynasties. Wang Qing there, has occupied nearly thirty of the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, backed by Shu, and occupies Jingxiang, Nanyang, Xijing, retreat can be divided into one side, enter can attack the whole territory of my Great Song Dynasty, among the four ministers, he is the most advantageous, and the most unrestricted, if the court recruits him again, I am afraid of ......"

Among the four major Kou, Wang Qing's life is the best now.

Be.

Wang Qing also had to face the Xihe Road and Qinfeng Road Western Army, and even had to fight against the small breed Xianggong Seed Master and Yao Gu, who was as famous as the Seed Master.

But from the overall situation, Wang Qing's pressure is undoubtedly the least.

The key is that Wang Qing has the largest strategic space, and he can now fight with the generals of the Western Army such as Seed Master Zhong and Yao Gu while developing outward.

Not long ago, Wang Qing took advantage of Tian Hu's fight with the Seed Master Dao to take care of himself, and snatched Xijing Luoyang into his hands, which is the best proof.

In fact, it was precisely because Wang Qing robbed Luoyang that he could go east at any time to threaten Bianliang City in Tokyo, and Gao Yu and Shijiedu were defeated by Shuibo Liangshan, which made Zhao Ji move his mind to recruit Jiang Hongfei.

Hearing Zheng Juzhong say this, Zhao Ji was even more worried, but he also strengthened his determination to recruit An Jiang Hongfei, even if he had to pay a huge price for it.

There is no way.

First of all, Jiang Hongfei is the most suitable for recruiting an among the four major Kou.

Secondly, Jiang Hongfei is too close to Bianliang City in Tokyo, and if Jiang Hongfei is allowed to defeat Gao Yu, then the Zhao Song Dynasty will be in danger.

The key is because after this all-out war for more than half a year, the Zhao and Song dynasties have exposed too many problems.

Grain.

Economy.

Prestige.

It seems that everything has now reached a tipping point to explode.

And as Zheng Juzhong said, the Zhao Song Dynasty has to take a breath, otherwise the Zhao Song Dynasty may be finished.

It is precisely because of this that after Cai You proposed that the conditions for recruiting Jiang Hongfei might be land cession and compensation, Zhao Ji still thought in his mind: "You can't fight anymore, you must not fight again, if you continue to fight, the Great Song Dynasty will die!" ”

At the same time, seeing that Cai You could see through the essence of Zhao'an Jiang Hongfei, Zhao Ji was still a little relieved, and he thought to himself: "Cai You still has capable people around him, so I can rest assured." ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ji said to Cai You: "The matter has come to this, and the overall situation should be the priority." ”

Cai You understood everything this time, and finally knew that Lehe did not trap him, but helped him analyze how deep the water was.

Cai You couldn't help wiping a cold sweat in his heart: "It's a shame that I have Yin Wenhe, otherwise I don't know how I might die." ”

Cai You didn't say a word again, just bowed to the ground and said: "The minister will do his best to do this!" ”

Seeing that Cai You didn't look forward and cherish his feathers like Cai Jing, Zhao Ji nodded secretly: "It is worthy of being my friend, at the critical moment, he should be the best, unlike those slippery heads, one or two can't avoid this!" ”

Cai You "stresses righteousness", Zhao Ji can't help but express something, he assured Cai You: "Aiqing just do it, I will ensure that you will retreat with your whole body, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious service." ”

Who knows, Cai You didn't realize that if he negotiated such a "recruiting condition", it would be almost equivalent to signing a traitorous treaty.

Hearing Zhao Ji say that he would be rewarded for his meritorious service, Cai You asked with a smile: "If the minister is triumphant, what reward does the official family have?" ”

Zhao Ji asked rhetorically: "What does Aiqing want?" ”

Cai You saw that there were two beauties beside Zhao Ji, so he smiled and said, "Official, if the minister succeeds in recruiting An Jiangyan, will he reward these two beauties to the minister?" ”

Zhao Ji just laughed, neither agreeing nor refusing......
