Brother Richard asked: "If Da Song wants to negotiate peace, will we fight it?"

The Great Song Dynasty wanted to negotiate peace, but Li Renxiao did not believe it at all, because the other side had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and was in the limelight, so how could he really negotiate peace with himself? However, Brother Richard is his own uncle and the first general in Western Xia, Li Renxiao didn't want to embarrass Brother Richard, and said slowly: "The fate must be in your own hands, but if the Great Song Dynasty really wants to have this sincerity, he will withdraw from Youzhou." ”

Brother Richard smiled and said: "The condition of the Great Song Dynasty is to take Youzhou as the boundary, but it will open a field in Youzhou and Jingzhou. ”

"That's not going to work. Ren Dejing said first, in fact, Ren Dejing knew very well in his heart that no matter how beautiful he bragged about his strategy, he could not solve the problem at all, but Xia Renzong's happiness was a benefit that Ren Dejing could see and touch; With Ren Dejing's foreshadowing, Xia Renzong's Li Renxiao's face looked much better, so he said with embarrassment: "The soldiers are now working hard and bleeding, for the sake of the people, as long as the Great Song Dynasty is sincerely open, I can consider negotiating peace." But Uncle Huang, will they make a false shot?"

This is not much different from what Brother Richard estimated, Brother Richard said confidently: "I think it's true, Hedong is facing the pressure of the Jin State, and the war between them and us can't drag on too long, Youzhou should have been planned in the first place, as long as Youzhou is in hand, they can arrange a general to hold on." I think it's true, otherwise even if Yang Zhi's army is tired, after capturing Ren Decong, it will still be possible to defeat Xiazhou. ”

Xia Renzong glanced at Ren Dejing, Ren Dejing was full of sweat, and sighed: "We have the strength to continue fighting, if we negotiate peace now, what if Yang Zhi repairs and starts a war again? When Lingzhou and Xiazhou fall, can we still hold Xingzhou?"

"What if we take the initiative to attack?" Hot Gongji saw through Ren Dejing's hypocrisy and pointed to the point: "Can you recapture Youzhou?" Ren Decong is still in Yang Zhi's hands, and all Yue Fei's generals Wang Gui in Yanzhou, Xia Dongyi and other places east of Xiazhou have captured Wang Gui, and even the passage to Jin has been cut off. ”

Xia Renzong was disappointed, asked clearly about the conditions set by the Great Song Dynasty, and found that Zhao Kai was still very fair, leaving room for mediation, Xia Renzong Li Renxiao decided to accept this clause, first wrote a letter of state and sent it to Youzhou, expressing his agreement to negotiate an armistice, and after signing the agreement, he sent a special person to Runzhou with gifts to apologize for the court.

Just when the dynasty was dispersed, the battle report of Hengshan had already come, less than 4,000 Xixia troops rushed through the encirclement that Xu Huiyan was responsible for, and were currently surrounded by Chongbin's Qin Fengjun in a valley between Weizhou and Baotai's army. Brother Richard hurriedly returned and said to Xia Renzong: "We must quickly inform Yang Zhi that he can ransom people and keep these four thousand people." ”

The elite soldiers who can be killed in Xu Huiyan's heavy encirclement not only show that their combat effectiveness is strong, but also show that they are loyal to Great Xia. Li Renxiao understood what Brother Richard meant, Xiao got this time, anyway, he had already lost face, and he didn't care about losing a little more, so he immediately wrote a letter to Yang Zhi in person, asking for the lives of more than 4,000 people, and the conditions were negotiable.

After Xia Renzong's two letters Zhao Kai read them, he immediately sent someone to send the agreement to Runzhou, Song Huizong saw a copy of the agreement in Chang'an, and almost didn't believe his eyes, which was not in Tong Guan's hands, and now he got it. However, Song Huizong and Zhao Kai didn't expect that the imperial historians still didn't do it, and they even made a huge petition action with the Tai students, asking Song Huizong to disagree with the peace negotiation and continue to fight. 31

Tang Chong, Li Bing and Ma Shen, Zhang Cheng and others argued for a long time without result, Song Huizong decided to announce Zhao Kai's envoy Cai Suitian to the palace, Zhang Cheng accused the Dingbei army in front of Cai Suitian to retain strength, Yang Zhi, Yue Fei two armies approached Xiazhou, why not take the state city. Cai Suitian stared at Zhang Cheng and asked, "Listening to Lord Zhang's tone, he knows the art of war, how about Lord Zhang mobilize 50,000 people from the Yongxing Military Road to attack Xiazhou?"

"Me. Zhang Cheng didn't expect Cai Suitian to not play his cards according to common sense at all, and suddenly realized that he couldn't speak quickly, and the 50,000-strong army attacking Xiazhou would pass through the area of the Dingbei Army, and he wouldn't know what was going on at that time; Zhang Cheng immediately changed his words and said: "That's your Dingbei Army's business, and the front-line generals are not good at fighting, so they must be removed from their posts and investigated." ”

Cai Suitian sighed and said: "Zhang Jun lost Chuzhou, Wang Shu lost the Dingbian Army and Huanzhou, why didn't I see the recital condemned by Lord Zhang? Mr. Zhang, I read too little, I really don't understand. ”

Zhang Cheng's face was said to be red and white, Tang Zhong almost applauded, Cai Suitian's words were very poisonous, pointing directly at Zhang Cheng's weakness; Ma Shen asked: "Taiyuan has only dispatched half of the troops?"

Cai Suitian said with certainty: "That's because we have the Jin State behind us, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Bianliang have not fought the Yellow River, and Zhang Jun has not signed a peace agreement, Hedong is facing the pressure of the Jin State in Yunzhong, Xiongzhou, and Hebei, and it is already a risky move to dispatch half of the troops." By the way, Master Ma, it was originally said that the departure of the Northern Army from Gyeonggi Road would bring peace to the two countries, but now it has been more than three months, why is there no shadow at all?"

"This. Ma Shen decided to take a risk: "It's not because Taiyuan didn't release Yan Zonghan and Yinshuke. ”

Cai Suitian nodded and said: "Just when Ren Decong attacked Youzhou, six martial arts masters from Liaoyang were killed in Hedong, these people all wore the waist card of the Jin State Mansion, disguised as businessmen and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, Master Ma, what do you say they went to Hedong for? Is it to spy on the intelligence of the Dingbei Army, or do they plan to rescue Yan Zonghan and the two? Why are the Jin people in such a hurry, I am afraid that when the Song and Jin Dynasty start the war, we will kill the two of them to sacrifice the flag." As for the reason you said, Jin Guo did not have an official document to ask for the two of them, and the real insider could not be guessed by the lower officials, and as for whether Gao Qingyi and Zhang Jun were playing double reeds, the lower officials could not guess either. Can you guess it?"

Zheng Yinian came out and reprimanded: "Lord Cai, be cautious, Lord Zhang Jun is not a person who is a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day. ”

Cai Suitian said: "The lower official made a mistake, the two adults forgive me, but we really don't know the truth of the negotiation." ”

The truth of the negotiation, Ma Shen shook his head helplessly, he couldn't see that Zheng Yinian was deliberately squeezing himself, but Ma Shen didn't know the situation in Bianliang, everything was heard.
