…

The two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be killed!

Wang Hao never expected that Shuibo Liangshan would be so disrespectful of martial arts that he would cut down the people he sent to negotiate peace.

This is too much to ignore their Zhao and Song dynasties, and the Hulu are not barbaric to the people of Liangshan!

At the same time, Wang Hao also saw that Shuibo Liangshan was really tough, and it seemed that he was not afraid of a full-scale war with the Zhao Song Dynasty at all.

This can't help but make it difficult for Wang Hao!

And Cai You was completely abandoning it at this time, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Wang Hao couldn't help but regret that he owed it himself, so he had to meddle in this matter, so he roasted himself on the fire.

There was no way, Wang Hao could only find Zheng Juzhong to discuss countermeasures.

The leaders discussed and discussed, but they still felt that there was no better way than to find a way to negotiate peace.

Therefore, in this cruel reality, the leaders have rarely reached a consensus, that is, to persuade Zhao Ji to agree to negotiate peace with Jiang Hongfei, even if it is to accept Jiang Hongfei's blackmail conditions in full.

The only question is who will tell Zhao Ji about their decision.

A group of rulers, you push me, I let you, and finally the ball passed back to the feet of Wang Hao and Cai You.

Wang Hao and Cai You also knew that at this time, the other few Zaizhi who actually didn't deal with them were already very good if they didn't fall into the ground, and they didn't have to think about it if they wanted them to carry this big black pot with them.

Therefore, Wang Hao and Cai You didn't say anything more, but found an opportunity for Zhao Ji to look in a good mood, and made it clear to Zhao Ji that the current critical situation of the Zhao Song Dynasty, the importance of the southeast, the pressure of Tian Hu and Wang Qing faced by the Western Army, and the shortage of economy and food in the Zhao Song Dynasty, Gao Yu hoped that the imperial court could give him another one or two hundred thousand reinforcements, and then euphemistically told Zhao Ji that if he couldn't bear it now, he would make a big plan.

Although Wang Hao and Cai You said it was already very vague, but Zhao Ji just liked extravagance and good joy, not stupid, how could he not hear the potential meaning of Wang Hao and Cai You, Gao Yu may not be able to withstand it, they have a lot of problems on the side of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and they must negotiate peace with Jiang Hongfei, otherwise, Tokyo Bianliang City will be dangerous, he Zhao Ji will be dangerous, and the Jiangshan Sheji of the Zhao Song Dynasty will be in danger.

Zhao Ji's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly summoned all the governors to discuss countermeasures, and took the initiative to say that it was really not possible, so he issued an order to appoint Jiang Hongfei as the envoy of the Liangshan Army, seal the king of Qi, cut the land of Shandong and Hebei, and make Jiang Hongfei guard for generations.

Seeing that Zhao Ji took the initiative to say such a thing, all the rulers were secretly relieved, and then euphemistically said the peace conditions given by Jiang Hongfei.

When Zhao Ji heard this, Jiang Hongfei not only wanted Shandong and Hebei, but also 50 million war reparations and his three daughters!

After listening to Jiang Hongfei's blackmail, Zhao Ji, who had been the emperor for more than 20 years, gradually calmed down.

Zhao Ji can't do it if he doesn't calm down, you know, if he agrees to such peace conditions with a hot head, then he will be a sinner of the Zhao Song Dynasty, especially when the current situation is still caused by him.

Also, one of the things that the successive emperors of the Zhao and Song dynasties were most proud of was that their Great Song Dynasty did not maintain their rule with the humiliating policy of harmony and kinship like the Han and Tang dynasties.

If this insistence is broken here by Zhao Ji, then Zhao Ji will be even more ashamed of his ancestors.

Moreover, as an emperor, even if he is just a father, he can't even protect his own daughter, and he will be taken away three times by the enemy as a plaything, how can Zhao Ji be embarrassed?

Therefore, after the initial panic, Zhao Ji slowly shut up.

- Zhao Ji did not immediately adopt the advice of the Zaizhi, this matter is too big, he wants to hear the opinions of other courtiers.

Therefore, Zhao Ji ordered people to distribute Jiang Hongfei's peace treaty, and issued an edict, asking civil and military officials to write to Chen Xian.

The Zai Zhi did not persuade Zhao Ji again.

- This matter is indeed too big, and the Zaizhi also hope that more people can help them share the pressure.

Waiting for the people to retreat, Zhao Ji sighed in the Chongzheng Palace, he couldn't understand, not long ago, he was ambitious to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, complete the feat that the previous emperors of the Zhao and Song Dynasty had not completed, and became the second only to Taizu Zhao Kuangyin among the previous emperors of the Zhao Song Dynasty in terms of merit, but how long has it been, the situation of the Zhao and Song Dynasty has suddenly taken a sharp turn, and even has a tendency to perish!

"Is it really like Tong Guan said, because of the chaos in the world caused by Huashi Gang?"

"I'm rich all over the world, peaceful for entertainment, how many years can be, I don't want to work in vain, is it wrong?"

"There is a lot of wealth in the world, is it not enough to support me alone?"

“……”

November 23rd.

Zhao Ji convened hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the threat from Shuibo Liangshan and the peace conditions proposed by Shuibo Liangshan.

Some ministers suggested in court that they should continue to recruit troops, and then hoard large armies along the Yellow River and various passes in the east to prevent the Liangshan army from moving south, and strengthen the defense of Bianliang Castle in Tokyo.

Some ministers expressed their opposition, believing that this was completely on paper, recruiting so many soldiers, where would the money come from, where would the soldiers come from, and where would the critical time come from?

Cao Zhaoding, a scholar of Kaifeng Prefecture, proposed that the new commander should decide everything by himself to replace Gao Yu in the division or Yao Gu, and the money should be under the control of the new commander, and the officials should also appoint the new commander himself, and the reward power of the generals should also be given to the new commander, as long as the new commander can block the Liangshan bandits, and prevent the Liangshan bandits from attacking Bianliang City in Tokyo.

But as soon as Zhao Ding put forward this suggestion, he was severely criticized by a group of civil officials, until Zhao Ji thought that Zhao Ding's discussion was out of place, and he was sent to Jiezhou, and a group of literati gave up.

There is also a group of people who claim that "the land of the ancestors, the descendants should be defended to the death, not by the size and the person", the representative figure is the imperial history of Cheng He Li, he was indignant and said: "The land of the ancestors can not be with people, why bother?" ”

After He Li and the others finished speaking, Li Ye, who had just returned from the front line of Xingqing Mansion, came out to praise the heroes of Liangshan, he said: "The Liangshan thieves are like tigers, horses are like dragons, they are like apes when they go up the mountain, they are like otters when they enter the water, their momentum is like Mount Tai, and China is like tired eggs." ”

Wang Xiaodi, the squire of the Chinese book, then said: "This battle cannot be fought again, otherwise when the Liangshan thieves come, the men will be killed, the women will be captured, the palace will be burned, and the spiritual money will be exhausted." With the foolishness of the minister, it is better to surrender the forgiveness of the crime and recruit peace, and the edict is taken to go to the que, and the order is to be a good minister, so as to prevent the harm of the border. This is the best policy. ”

Then, the main battle faction and the main peace faction quarreled......

In addition to the ministers of civil and military affairs, all the princes also wrote to state their own views.

For example, the crown prince Zhao Huan said very strongly that he could not cede the land of his ancestors, let alone marry the emperor to Jiang Hongfei, and Zhao Huan also said a famous sentence: Can the dragon girl marry a dog? !

Zhao Huan's statement has been praised by many people, and this sentence "The dragon girl can marry a dog" has also become a popular phrase for a while, and it is what many people on Zhao Song's side must say when they ridicule Jiang Hongfei.

Zhao Kai, the third son of Zhao Ji, also did not agree to the land compensation and relatives, especially the latter, Zhao Kai believed that Jiang Hongfei was not short of women at all, and asked for the three emperors as concubines, just to humiliate the Zhao Song Dynasty and humiliate Zhao Ji, the purpose was to hit the prestige of the Zhao Song Dynasty and Zhao Ji, as well as the morale of the Song army.

Among the many princes, Zhao Ji's ninth son, King Kang, Zhao Gou is a very inconspicuous one, but he also said in the book that exchanging women for peace is a manifestation of a weak dynasty like the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In a word, all the princes and the strategists behind them deeply understand a truth, that is, they must not show their weakness when they are princes, otherwise they will definitely lose the throne.

This is also normal, except for those who want to support a puppet emperor, who would want a weak person to be the emperor of their own country?

So, even if these princes' legs are scared and weak, they have to behave very toughly.

In addition to showing their toughness, these princes must also show their own side of defending the members of the royal family, you know, the members of the royal family can greatly affect whether a prince can ascend to the throne and become the emperor.

Let's put it this way.

If Zhao Ji knew that Zhao Huan would be able to do something to put him under house arrest after ascending the throne, and Zhao Ji would rather kill his own general than save him and his other children and clansmen after he ascended the throne, would he be able to let such two disloyal, unfilial, and unkind things get his throne, I'm afraid not, as soon as Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou were born, he would strangle Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou with his own hands, right? will not even give Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou a chance to be born.

The same is true for other royal families, if they had known that Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou didn't care about the lives of their fellow clans or even their brothers and sisters, they would definitely use all means to prevent Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou from becoming emperors.

On the whole, at present, the civil and military forces of the Zhao Song Dynasty and the princes still have a bit of a meaning of not crying when they don't see the coffin.

November 29.

News came back from Hebei that Hejian Mansion, one of the three towns in Hebei, was broken by the Liangshan Army after holding on for more than two months, because it could not wait for reinforcements.

The defense concept of the Zhao and Song dynasties in Hebei was that the coordination and cooperation between many cities objectively formed a defensive depth to resist the invasion of the enemy army (mainly the Liao army), which posed a serious threat to the Liao army that dared to drive straight into the south and invade the south in terms of logistics supply and safe withdrawal.

Defence-in-depth emphasizes resistance and requires the enemy to pay a heavy price for every step forward. At a deeper level, this resistance is not only material, but also psychological. A successful defense-in-depth will send a strong message to the enemy: resistance is everywhere and the cost of total subjugation is great. If the other side understands this before starting a war, the likelihood of an invasion will be greatly reduced. Therefore, as a strategic posture, defense-in-depth may receive the effect of armed persuasion and achieve the political goal of defending the country.

The most important defense of Hebei is the three towns of Hebei, namely: Zhending Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, and Hejian Mansion.

A month ago, Zhending Mansion had been attacked by the Liangshan army, and now Hejian Mansion was also captured by the Liangshan army.

There is only one Zhongshan Mansion left in the three towns of Hebei, which is still struggling to support.

Not to mention that the lonely city of Zhongshan Mansion will definitely not be able to resist the Liangshan army for too long, even if Zhongshan Mansion can resist for a while, it also shows that the defense system of the Zhao Song Dynasty in Hebei has been crushed by the Liangshan army, and it will not be long before Shuibo Liangshan completely occupies Hebei.

And once Shuibo Liangshan completely occupies Hebei, then Shuibo Liangshan will definitely be able to draw out more troops.

At that time, the Zhao and Song dynasties would be even more dangerous, in case the Liangshan army crossed the Yellow River in a big way......

Then, Gao Yu also came with news that the Liangshan army was already assembling and could attack Xingqing Mansion in a big way at any time.

Faced with such a critical situation, Zhao Ji was shocked, and hurriedly convened the ministers to discuss the situation and countermeasures in the Yanhe Palace.

Although it has been discussed for several days, and now the situation has changed again, but at the moment of the great enemy, the civil and military ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasty still have different opinions and suggestions on how to deal with the huge threat of Shuibo Liangshan.

Some ministers said: "The Liangshan thieves are arrogant at this time, and the front cannot be controlled, if our army comes out, the enemy will be defeated, and this soldier is jealous." Wangguan's family or went west to Guanzhong, or went south to Jiangning, gathered the world's soldiers, selected generals to send divisions, divided the troops into four routes, surrounded and annihilated the thieves, so that their horses could not return. ”

As soon as these words on paper were spoken, they were ridiculed by some ministers: "Now Wang Qing occupies Luoyang, Tian Hu occupies Tongguan, and the road to Guanzhong is blocked, how can Your Majesty get there?" The southeast is full of ant thieves, fighting everywhere, swarming everywhere, more than one place, one fire is stronger than one fire, and when you go there, don't you put Your Majesty under the dangerous wall? What are you waiting for?! ”

Some ministers said: "Jingshi is the foundation of the world, and since it is shaking, how can it support the world?" At present, there are still hundreds of thousands of male divisions in Beijing, who can fortify the wall and impose martial law, collect the people and clear the wilderness, so that the thieves can not attack, retreat and plunder, and the division is old and depressed. As soon as the army of King Qin arrives, the inside and outside will become horns, and when the ground is over, besieging the thieves is like driving a flock of dogs and sheep, and Jiang Yan will definitely ask for Luo Bai's life. ”

Some ministers said: "In the past, the Khitan had a million divisions and went straight to the Yuanyuan, if you listened to the invitation to avoid luck and the words of the wall, how could you have been peaceful in the world for more than 100 years?" Relying on the blessing of his ancestor Wei Ling and the blessing of the community, Kolai Gong insisted on asking the emperor to take the imperial expedition in person. After Luan Yu crossed the river, the morale of our army was greatly boosted, and the enemy general was shot and killed, and the morale of the Liao army was greatly lost, so he sent an envoy to ask for peace, and Hebei was able to recover. Today's matter is the same, please follow the example of Emperor Zhenzong to personally conquer the Liangshan thieves, this matter is fast, and it cannot be delayed. ”

Seeing that these civil and military officials were getting more and more noisy, and they all insisted on their own opinions, and no one was willing to give in, Zhao Ji knew that it was impossible to expect these people to discuss a solution to the current predicament, and he had to make his own ideas.

So, Zhao Ji found Cai You and said straight to the point: "You are the person I trust the most, you tell me honestly, if I personally conquer Jiang Yan, what are the chances of winning?" ”

In Cai You's opinion, even if Zhao Ji drove the expedition in person, he could not exterminate the powerful Shuibo Liangshan.

So Cai You bowed to the ground and cried and said: "The ministers are useless, they can't share the worries of the officials!" ”

Seeing this, what else does Zhao Ji not understand? He sighed leisurely: "Alas! You go to see Jiang Yan again and negotiate a treaty that can make me explain the past to my ancestors and subjects......"

The second is to ask for a monthly pass!
