Chapter 44: The Alliance of Lanzhou

The person wearing the brocade robe and wearing the crown is the current lord of the Jin State, Yelu Chongyuan, and the other is Xiao Yixin, the vanguard general of the Song Dynasty, who was originally the younger brother of the Empress Xiao of the Liao State, but because of his extreme bravery, after the Liao State was destroyed, he was worshiped as a general by the gold lord.

At this moment, the two seemed to be arguing about the conquest of the Song Dynasty. During the conversation, Yelu Chongyuan seemed to have some concerns about the war against the Song Dynasty, while Xiao Yixin kept instigating him to attack Lanzhou first, and then move south to take Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

Because of the many slanderous and slanderous words of the Song Dynasty royal family in his words, coupled with his repeated instigation, Zhao Weiming killed this person at that time.

But just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly saw the golden envoy who had been tricked and a person who looked like a civil official of the Song Dynasty hurriedly walking towards the handsome tent.

"Seeing that the war between the two countries is imminent, why is this court official mixed up with the Jin people?" After identifying his official position from the Song official's clothes, Zhao Weiming, who was suspicious, forced himself to hold back his temperament and continued to hide in the dark to check.

How did he know? The Song Dynasty's civil official's name was Wen He, who was now a scholar of the Song Dynasty's Longtuge University and a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and he was most relied on by Renzong on weekdays; because the Jin State was suddenly attacked, the Song Dynasty was not ready, so Renzong, at the suggestion of his ministers, sent Wen He, who was the most astute and decisive in his daily life, to be the envoy of the Song Dynasty and the Jin envoy Mishuer.

After Wen He and the others entered the tent, Wen He first listed to Yelu Chongyuan one by one the anecdotes of friendship and mutual assistance between the Jin and Song dynasties in recent decades, and directly asked, "Song and Jin were originally friendly brothers and neighbors, but I don't know why the king met each other?"

!’ Yelu Chongyuan was speechless for a while. Seeing the opportunity, the golden envoy Mishuer, who had already received the huge benefits of the Song Dynasty, also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Gradually, Yelu Chongyuan's originally solemn face began to slowly soften. But Xiao Yixin on the side was still instigating Jin to attack the Song Dynasty while wantonly slandering the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Weiming really couldn't stand it anymore, so he jumped into the account even if he dodged. Suddenly, someone came in, and everyone in the account was shocked.

When he was young, after calming down, Xiao Yixin had the courage to shout, "Who is coming?"

Zhao Weiming ignored him, and only said to Yelu Chongyuan, "I am a dignified Song people, and I just want to tell the king here!"

Yelu Chongyuan was stunned for a moment, "Let's talk about it for the time being!" Zhao Weiming paused, pointed to the two of them, and said to Yelu Chongyuan: "I advise the king, or listen to the good words of these two adults, and retreat quickly!"

Then the words turned sharply and shouted, "Otherwise, you will be told to wait for no return!" "Hahahaha!" With a burst of wild laughter, Xiao Yixin on the side said, "Bold boy, dare to speak wildly!"

Our hundreds of thousands of troops, to put it mildly, to start a war with the Song Dynasty, are not only horses stepping on their feet, but also razing the Song Dynasty to the ground!

''Hahahaha!'' Zhao Weiming also laughed wildly and said, "But your hundreds of thousands of troops may not be able to save your life!"

After finishing speaking, he mobilized his internal force and used a yang finger technique to face Xiao Yixin's anger at Xiao Yixin's void.

Suddenly, with a 'hiss' sound of cutting through the air, Xiao Yixin fell to the ground in response. Yelu Chongyuan helped him up to take a look, only to see a small hole on Xiao Yixin's forehead that ran through the front and back.

Blood mixed with ** flowed all over the ground, and it can be said that the death is extremely miserable. What kind of kung fu is this? Yelu Chongyuan couldn't help but be horrified for a while.

At this time, Mishuer had also recognized Zhao Weiming, and hurriedly shouted, "Be careful, this person is the one who has reached a draw with the Dragon Elephant National Master!"

Seeing this, Wen He pulled Zhao Weiming aside and said to Yelu Chongyuan, "Can the king allow me to take a step to speak?"

After seeing Yelu Chongyuan nodding in agreement, Wen He immediately lured Zhao Weiming out of the account. After Wen He briefly informed Zhao Weiming of Renzong's intentions, the two immediately returned to the account.

After entering the account, Zhao Weiming first gave a salute to Yelu Chongyuan and said, "I am reckless in the next place, and the king is frightened!"

Yelu Chongyuan was stunned, and before he could speak, Wen He walked closer to the front and said, "The minister has a strategy, I don't know if the king is willing to listen?"

Yelu Chongyuan nodded and said, "Sir, let's listen to it," Wen He paused and said slowly, "Although the competition between Song and Jin is a draw, in my opinion, it is a win-win situation; at that time, although our representative punched your representative on the cheek, but your representative also slapped our representative on the back at the same time, so this game should be a win-win situation!"

''Oh, the contest is a victory or a defeat, and if both sides win, what should be done?' Yelu Chongyuan said strangely.

Wen He straightened his clothes and said, "There was an agreement between the two sides before the competition: after our side wins, the other side will return four of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and if the other side wins, we will pay two million taels of tribute to the other side every year.

Is it true?' Seeing that Yelu Chongyuan and Mishuer both nodded, he said, "Now that both sides have won, the losing side should fulfill its promise to pay the promised prize to the other party, is it fair?"

Yelu Chongyuan nodded and said, "This is natural, but this is a win for both sides, but how to pay for it, sir, can you have a good plan?"

After pondering for a moment, Wen He suddenly showed a look of embarrassment and said, "No, you and I will each take a step back!"

You have returned the four states you have promised to our two states, and you have paid half of the two million taels of tribute you have promised, and the two sides have shaken hands and made peace, so that you and I can be brothers and neighbors again, and at the same time fulfill our promises, will not you have the best of both worlds?

'Wen Yi said it in one breath. After hearing Wen He's words, Yelu Chongyuan immediately looked suspicious and said, "Sir, this strategy is very good, but can I wait for some discussion before making a decision!"

Wen Heqing knew that pressing at this time would only be a bad thing, so he had to respond, 'The king is at his own convenience, the king is at his own convenience!' After finishing speaking, he solemnly stepped aside.

Suddenly, with a shout of killing, a small colonel rushed to the ---- king, the Song army attacked our army, and two camps have been broken by the Song army!

After Yelu Chongyuan stopped the comers, he said to the two Wenhe, "Please rest outside the account first, and then reply to Mr. after I have discussed."

The two of them withdrew from the account and waited. It turned out that after informing Qunhao, Master Fang Zheng and Lingxu Dao Master came to the front line, and asked about the disciples of the Beggar Gang, but found that Zhao Weiming had disappeared.

Because he was worried that the apprentice would encounter an accident, it happened that the defenders of Lanzhou arrived at this time. Lingxu Dao Chief didn't think much about it, and after a little explanation with the leader of the Song army, he and Master Fang Zheng led Qunhao to kill a camp of Jin soldiers.

Although the number of people in this group is small, all of them are martial arts masters, and they did not spend much effort to break through this camp like chopping melons and vegetables.

Immediately afterwards, the Song army of the brigade took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill. In this way, in a moment, the two camps of the Jin soldiers were broken and nearly 10,000 enemies were killed.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Weiming and the others, who were standing outside the account, finally heard Mishuer's call. didn't have time to think about it, so they quickly entered the account together.

Wen Hexian saluted Yelu Chongyuan and asked, "How is the king's discussion?" Yelu Chongyuan frowned and said, "Sir's plan is good, but I am afraid that the emperor of the Song Dynasty will regret it;

Knowing that he had doubts, after seeing Wen He's approval, Zhao Weiming immediately felt something from his body and said, "I am the royal brother of the Great Song Dynasty!"

'Yelu Chongyuan took the thing in Zhao Weiming's hand, only to see that this thing was made of pure gold, and the front and back read: The emperor made it, and the words "King Yi's warrant" were written.

After Mishuel confirmed that this thing was indeed a royal thing, Yelu Chongyuan immediately ordered someone to get a pen and paper, and immediately signed a covenant.

The two sides agreed: The Jin State returned the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty and the two states, and the Song Dynasty gave the Jin State 1 million taels of cloth and silk and other goods every year, and the two sides shook hands and made peace, and they would not use swords and soldiers again for 50 years.

The reason why it went so smoothly turned out to be: just after Wenhe and the two went out, several junior colonels reported the number of casualties of the Jin soldiers to Yelu Chongyuan.

Yelu Chongyuan pondered, "It seems that this Song Dynasty is not completely defenseless, and it was only after a moment of carelessness that it suffered this defeat!" and then said angrily at Xiao Yixin's corpse, "I was almost ruined by this Lonely King!"

Seeing this, Mishuer hurriedly persuaded Yelu Chongyuan and said, "Not to mention that the Song army is not easy to deal with, even the person who killed General Xiao just now is extremely difficult to deal with;

Because he had seen Zhao Weiming's methods just now, Yelu Chongyuan knew that what Mi Shuer said was true. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to shake hands with the Song Dynasty and make peace.

However, according to what the history of the Song Dynasty said, and he was afraid that the Song Dynasty would regret it, he put forward the statement that he wanted someone to be a guarantee. At this moment, as soon as the covenant was signed, the two sides immediately withdrew their troops, and Yelu Chongyuan immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet in the tent to entertain the two of them.

Stubborn, Zhao Weiming had to deal with a few cups hastily, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left.
