The sun is setting, and the day is drifting by with the wind.

After finishing the matter in hand, Liu Bingzhong was about to leave the mansion, but he heard a voice next to him.

"Burial spring. ”

The unfamiliar name and familiar voice made Liu Bingzhong a little surprised.

He hadn't used this name for a long time, and only his former best friend Hao Jing had known about the past.

Following the voice, Liu Bingzhong saw a strange and familiar person standing in the distance, and couldn't help blurting out: "Bochang?" The voice came out, but he closed his mouth, and his face was a little gloomy, "Alas." Didn't Bo Chang die a long time ago? Could it be that I have auditory hallucinations?"

"No! I am a constant. You read that right. ”

Hao Jing walked up so that Liu Bingzhong could see clearly.

After looking up and down for a long time, Liu Bingzhong laughed, hurriedly walked up, and helped Hao Jing up: "Is it really Bochang? But aren't you already dead? Why did you appear here?" The familiar appearance and familiar voice, although they have not been seen in ten years, but now they suddenly appeared in front of him, which still surprised Liu Bingzhong, and wanted to know what Hao Jing had experienced during this period of time, and why he had not appeared until now.

"Alas. Isn't that Jia Daodao?"

Hao Jing shook his head helplessly, thinking of what happened to him at the beginning, he was also related.

He didn't want to go through that prison life at all.

Liu Bingzhong suddenly came to his senses and complained: "It turned out that this minister who promoted the weaving was done? How could this courtier, who didn't want to harm himself, dare to bully us?"

"Alas. It's complicated, so let's go back and talk about it. By the way, can you help me with something?"

Hao Jing replied indifferently, these things have happened after all, and there is no other use except to accept them.

"Haha. You are my lifelong friend, and your business is my business, so what's the matter?" Tell me, what is it?" Liu Bingzhong laughed loudly, and now he was happiest to know that his friend was still alive, and nothing else was very important in comparison.

Hao Jing smiled and felt happy: "You can also see that my current condition is not very good, even if I am released, I am afraid that I will not live for a few years." So I hope you can help me create opportunities for me to meet His Majesty. ”

"Meet Your Majesty?"

Liu Bingzhong was a little surprised, and continued to ask, "Did you find something?"

"I didn't find anything, but I learned some facts by chance, so I wanted to tell Your Majesty about it. Hao Jing replied, he has been living here before, this is the matter, otherwise why insist until now?

It's just that after ten years, he still doesn't know how the government is now, and for Ali Buge, he is afraid that he has long been forgotten, so he will turn to Liu Bingzhong, hoping that Liu Bingzhong can help a little.

Liu Bingzhong nodded and replied, "Of course you can." ”

At this time, the Yuan army has just been severely damaged by the Huaxia army and is recuperating, so it is really not appropriate to launch a similar large-scale operation again, if the news brought by Hao Jing can make them reduce their losses a little, it is naturally the best.

After the negotiation, Liu Bingzhong took Hao Jing back to the mansion, on the one hand, he asked the servants to pick up the dust for Hao Jing, and on the other hand, he also wrote a letter to explain the current matter to Ali Buge.

When he learned that Hao Jing was still alive, of course Brother Ali was extremely surprised, and before the two of them got up, he came to Liu Bingzhong's mansion in person to visit the two.

"It turns out that Hao Lao is really alive, I thought you had already been returned by the Lin'an Imperial Court. ”

Looking at Hao Jing's gray-haired appearance, Brother Ali Buge felt a little distressed, and hurriedly asked the attendants behind him to send the prepared things such as ginseng and snow lotus, so that Hao Jing could recover a little strength.

Hao Jing was of course moved when he saw Brother Ali Buge coming in person: "During the years that my subordinates have been imprisoned, they have always been loyal, and they have never forgotten that they will be able to repay Your Majesty one day. Now that His Majesty has come, it really makes the grass people grateful. ”

"Alas. How can Hao Lao say that? If it weren't for my incompetence, how could I let you be treated like this?"

Although Hao Jing excused himself, he couldn't resist Ali Buge's insistence, so he had to let Ali Buge help him sit down.

"Your Majesty. ”

It was easy to calm the excitement, Hao Jing looked at Brother Ali Bu, and then complained: "Actually, the reason why the grass people asked to see His Majesty this time is for a reason. ”

"Oh, tell me about it?"

Brother Ali Bu replied that Hao Jing had been stranded in Lin'an during these years, and his understanding of Lin'an could be said to be very knowledgeable, and if he could help him win Lin'an, it would be great.

Hao Jing then said: "Your Majesty." In fact, the reason why Weichen was able to escape from Lin'an was not because of my own strength, but because of the help of others. ”

"Who?"

Ali Buge was interested.

Hao Jing replied: "He is Jia Nidao?"

"Could it be the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty?"

Ali Buge was quite surprised, as the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty, of course he knew who his opponent was: "I remember you said that this person was the one who arrested you in the first place, why did he release you today?"

"The reason is simple, because he wants to reconcile with us. ”

Hao Jing took a deep breath, and then said his purpose.

"Reconciliation?"

Ali Buge sneered and complained: "He tortured my beloved minister like this, do you think you can reconcile?" And Ali Buge has already formulated a corresponding battle agreement with Boyan, intending to completely defeat the Yuan Dynasty by sea, of course, he is not willing to reconcile at this critical time.

Hao Jing shook his head and replied, "Your Majesty." The grass people thought that they might as well agree to the other party's conditions. ”

"Why?"

Ali Buge looked at Hao Jing with puzzled eyes, of course he would not think that Hao Jing had defected to the Song Dynasty, so he wanted to know the root cause.

Hao Jing replied: "Your Majesty." Along the way, the minister has long heard about the general trend of the world. After the defeat of Xiangyang, our army really doesn't have enough troops to deal with it at the moment, isn't it?"

"That's true. ”

Ali Buge admitted it calmly, and his hands were clenched suddenly.

For Huaxia Jun and Xiao Feng, of course, he hated them to the core, but he was repeatedly hit hard by the other party, this kind of thing of course made Ali Buge always hold a grudge and seek an opportunity to solve Huaxia Jun.

Hao Jing said: "And because of the invasion of us, the courtiers of the Song Dynasty also praised it. Some of the people mainly fought against the Yuan army and planned to reconcile with the Huaxia army, while others mainly resisted the Huaxia army. And Naja seems to be the leading figure among them. He had a bad reputation among the courtiers, and of course he was afraid that the Huaxia army would overthrow him in the name of the Qing monarch. ”

"So that's it?"

Brother Ali sneered.

When disaster strikes, it is not uncommon for those ministers to behave like this, and he has seen a lot of them.

Looking at Hao Jing, Ali Buge said what the other party thought: "So you think that we should reach a reconciliation with Najia Yidao and temporarily cease fighting." So that our soldiers can get a little rest?"

"That's right. ”

Hao Jing replied, seeing that the guards beside Ali Buge seemed to be complaining, and said, "Of course, this is only a temporary agreement to create opportunities for our next attack." After all, Najia Rudao is a person who is greedy for power, and in order to preserve his position, he will definitely send troops to stop the Huaxia army. At that time, there will definitely be a hole in his defense line facing our DPRK, and it will be convenient for us to act at that time. ”

When everyone heard this, they naturally showed a look of approval.

Being able to deal with their opponents with fewer troops is certainly a good thing for them.

Ali Buge smiled: "Very good. Then I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll wait for your good news. ”

Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, of course, Brother Ali Buge is also well versed in the way of employing people, so let Hao Jing plan this matter by himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Hao Jing bowed down, but this time he was implicated in internal injuries, which made him cough.

After Ali Buge asked people to invite the imperial doctor in the palace, he also left and began to plan other things.

For the Song Dynasty, Ali Buge is bound to win, and no one is allowed to delay.

............

Lin'an.

Compared with ten years ago, this time Hao Jing came here, but it was much more formal.

Not only did he take three hundred guards to protect his safety, but he also took the ironclad ship that he had newly seen in the Yuan Dynasty, and this majestic momentum also made Hao Jing feel a little bit of the momentum of the Heavenly Empire.

At this moment, Jia Rudao also took his ministers to stand on the edge of the Yangtze River, quietly waiting for Hao Jing to come down.

"Prime Minister Jia, don't come unharmed?"

Walking down from the battleship, Hao Jing stared at Jia Nidao, wanting to see a clue from the other party's face, of course, Jia Nidao was not a traitor in the world, and did not reveal any clues.

"Haha. ”

Jia Rudao smiled: "Brother Bo Chang looks like this, it seems that the two of us have known each other for a long time, who would have thought that the two of us have only just met?"

"This guy is really shameless. ”

Hao Jing was dumbfounded, lamenting the shamelessness of Gath, and immediately he did not declare it, but complained: "Prime Minister Jia is polite." I didn't come this time to invade, but with good intentions, but I don't know if Prime Minister Jia is willing to meet him?"

Because of the conversation between the two, many ministers were also puzzled and began to whisper.

Obviously, they were also surprised by Hao Jing's sudden visit, after all, they had been inseparable from the Song Dynasty before this, and even caused Xiangyang to be captured by the Huaxia army.

"Of course. After all, Mr. Hao is on a mission to promote harmony between the two dynasties, so how can he refuse it?"

Jia Rudao bowed, stepped forward and grabbed Hao Jing's hand, and led Hao Jing towards the Qinzheng Palace.

His face was quite kind, without the ruthlessness that he had tormented Hao Jing at the beginning.

Hao Jing was led by Jia Nidao, and he couldn't help but feel infiltrated, and he had an urge to escape, but considering the importance of his coming here this time, he could only follow Jia Nidao to the Qinzheng Palace.

And in this diligent palace, the ministers of the Song Dynasty have already gathered.

They looked at Hao Jing with an unkind face, looking like they were choosing people to devour, after all, in the previous battle, their soldiers had suffered heavy losses, and they really didn't have a good face for this so-called envoy of the Yuan Dynasty.

"In the Lower Hao Sutra, I have bowed to you. ”

Hao Jing bowed, as he expected, only a few people responded, and most of them were still cold.

In any case, Hao Jing is a person of the Yuan Dynasty after all, and naturally he will not be treated well by the people of the Song Dynasty.

Jia Rudao's face was slightly angry, and he complained: "No matter what, Mr. Hao came with good intentions after all, is that how you treat him?" No matter what, he is also the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and of course he will be annoyed when he sees his subordinates not cooperating like this.

"I'll meet Mr. Hao. ”

Seeing that Jia Rudao was angry, the ministers replied quietly.

Jia Rudao was a little happy and said, "That's right." After all, we are also the Heavenly Empire, how can we let the Yuan Dynasty look down on it?" Then he asked Hao Jing to sit down and began to negotiate about the collegiate matter.

After the negotiation was over, Hao Jing also went back satisfied, and Jia Rudao was also happy to solve the matter of the Yuan Dynasty, and then began to plan about the Huaxia Army. Since the occupation of Xiangyang, the Huaxia army has made frequent moves, not only often sending envoys to meet with nearby officials, but also repeatedly making various actions to test the bottom line of the Song Dynasty.

Even the Sichuan area was basically out of the control of the Song Dynasty and smoothly placed under the command of the Huaxia Army.

In the face of this kind of thing, of course, Jia Yidao was terrified, although he sent envoys again and again to meet the king of Jin, but they were all blocked, so that he did not know anything about the movements of the Huaxia army, and the only thing he could do was to transfer troops and send generals, concentrate most of the troops on the Yangtze River Valley, in an attempt to block the attack of the Huaxia army.

It's just that there are thousands of people with thousands of faces, although Jia Rudao is worried about this, but another group of people is not like this.

No, Wen Tianxiang, who is now serving as a supervisor in the ordnance superintendent, has started to be active, and secretly contacted Li Tingzhi, Jiang Wanli and others, wanting to discuss things with them.

"You have also seen that Jia seems to have gone against the grain and made peace with the Yuan Dynasty, what is this?" Seeing everyone coming, Wen Tianxiang immediately scolded.

Li Tingzhi shook his head and complained: "Although this is the case, it has avoided a catastrophe after all, isn't it?"

"Song Rui. Do you really think that the Yuan Dynasty will negotiate peace with us? He is just trying to buy time, and when the time comes, he will definitely wave his army south. Chen Yizhong said.

"Of course I know what you say. ”

After Li Tingzhi and Jiang Wanli listened, they also fell silent.

They have been fighting with the Yuan Dynasty for a long time, and naturally know that with the warlike character of the Yuan Dynasty, it is naturally impossible to give up the war, their nature is war, how can they give up, the reason why Hao Jing and Jia Rudao were sent to negotiate peace is just because the battle of Xiangyang lost troops, so they want to buy enough time.

"It's just that what can we do with the current situation?"

With their hands spread, Li Tingzhi and Jiang Wanli expressed their helplessness, because of their identities as military generals, the two of them have always been excluded from the core of the Song Dynasty, and they can't speak at all, and the only thing they can do may be to resist the Tartars with all their might. １

Wen Tianxiang was slightly resentful, and complained: "Although this is the case, can we just sit back and wait for death? If we let this Jia Yidao continue to act arbitrarily, our dynasty will definitely be destroyed by the Yuan army." You should be well aware of this. ”
