Xuzhou.

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general. ”

With a happy face, Li Tingzhi walked directly into the military tent and congratulated Meng Heng.

Meng Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with some doubts: "What are you happy about?"

"General Qiyu. According to the report of the spies, Shi Tianze had been killed by Xiao Feng in Longhu Town, Zhengzhou a few days ago. When Zhang Rou heard this, she immediately fled to the northeast. Now that the crisis has faded, isn't it a happy event to say so?" couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and Li Tingzhi's face was full of excitement.

"I see. ”

When Meng Heng heard this, he was also overjoyed, and said, "But you must not forget, if it weren't for the timely entry of the Red Phoenix Army, it would have been difficult for us to defeat the Mongols alone." You have to keep that in mind. ”

Li Tingzhi replied: "The last general understands. Fu You remembered the purpose of his trip, and said: "By the way, general, I have one more thing, which is about Kaifeng Mansion." But I don't know what the general is going to do?"

"What's the matter?"

When he heard the words "Kaifeng Mansion" at first glance, Meng Heng was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head to look at Li Tingzhi, his eyes full of confusion.

"A few days ago, Fan Yongji, the envoy of Hebei Province, handed over a document, saying that he wanted to surrender to us. Li Tingzhi paused, his voice trembled a little, and it was easy to hold back the excitement in his heart and said to Meng Heng.

Meng Heng's body trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Is this serious?"

"This is a document written by this person's own hand, and I ask the general to look at it. ”

Li Tingzhi took a long breath, then took out an iron box from his arms and arrived in front of Meng Heng.

The letters were sealed in an iron box and locked with iron locks, which made them extremely precious and even more precious.

Meng Heng was a little excited, his eyes fell on the iron box, the hand he handed out was a little trembling, and it was easy to borrow the iron box, and then crushed the iron lock, opened the iron box, and there was a letter in the iron box.

After taking the letter, Meng Hui just swept it, and quickly closed it, as if there was something frightening hidden in it.

"General. What exactly is written in this?" Li Tingzhi asked with some curiosity.

Meng Heng's expression was serious, he opened his mouth slightly to exhale the turbidity in his chest, and replied, "As you know, it's about surrender." ”

"Then what is the general's plan?" Li Tingzhi continued to ask.

The recovery of Bianjing is not trivial, and in the past, it was the merit of fiefdom and land. As the commander of the entire army, Meng Heng will definitely be given many merits by the imperial court, and if possible, he can even be crowned king directly. As a member of his subordinates, Li Tingzhi, as a member of Meng Hui's army, can naturally be the same as the former and current King of Huainan, one person can ascend to heaven and be reused by the imperial court.

Such a meritorious feat naturally made Li Tingzhi extremely eager!

Meng Hui was stunned for a moment, and there was a rare confusion between his eyebrows, obviously not like Li Tingzhi, who was full of confidence in this matter.

However, if Fan Yongji can surrender to the Song Dynasty, then the entire Hebei generation will be under the command of the Song Dynasty, so that the Song Dynasty's room for maneuver will be greatly increased, and it will be able to do Zhou Xuan in Henan and Hebei and Mongolia, instead of resisting in grain-producing places such as the two lakes.

It can be said that it is a pretty good thing to be reasonable.

However, Meng Heng knew that there were already many contradictions between the DPRK and China at this moment, not to mention that the consumption of grain stored in the DPRK and China by the previous battles was already on the verge of limit, just to appease the entire Hebei The food and salary needed exceeded the current limit that the Song Dynasty could afford.

After all, in this Hebei generation, there are no natural hazards such as Jiange Pass and Tongguan, and the only Taiyuan is thousands of miles away, completely beyond the controllable range of the Song Dynasty.

"General. General: What are your plans for Fan Yongji?"

With a urging, Meng Hui was immediately awakened, and his blank eyes swept to the side, and he couldn't help but show a hint of happiness, and then said: "This matter still needs to be reported to Lin'an City, and I will ask the ministers of the DPRK and China what their opinions are." As for the soldiers under your command, go and tell them, let them go on, and let me rid me of all the tartars here. Got it?"

"The last will understand. ”

Li Tingzhi replied with his head in his head, and immediately turned around, walked out of the military tent, and prepared to start taking care of the matter.

When Meng Heng saw Li Tingzhi, he spit out the turbidity in his chest, but his eyes showed a little apprehension, "I hope this time, I can get through it safely." ”

The sea rises and falls, and the situation changes.

As one of the members of the Song Dynasty, wouldn't Meng Hui understand what kind of storm this surrender would set off?

It's just that he sincerely hopes that this time he can get through it safely.

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

Lin'an City.

"Zheng Xianggong. This is the current news from Meng Heng, I don't know what you think?"

Walking quickly into the political hall, Dong Huai directly found Zheng Qingzhi, and even the letter written by Meng Heng was handed to the other party.

Zheng Qingzhi was a little confused, and said secretly: "What's the matter, why are you even alarmed?"

"It's about Kaifeng Mansion!" With a serious face, Dong Huai looked at the letter with a nervous face.

Zheng Qingzhi felt a little strange to himself, and hurriedly tore open the letter, took out the envelope in it, only glanced at it, and immediately raised his head to look at Dong Huai, and said, "Fan Yongji wants to surrender to our court? No wonder even you are so nervous." ”

"That's right. For Fan Yongji, how do you think we should deal with it?" Looking quite nervous, Dong Huai opened his mouth and asked, "Is it acceptable?"

Zheng Qingzhi put away his belief, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied: "This matter is not for us to decide, you go with me to the vertical arch hall and report this matter to the official family." Let's see what the officials plan to do with it?"

"Official?"

Dong Huai was a little refusal, and said, "Zheng Xianggong." You should also know that if we can recover Kaifeng Mansion, it will be a great joy for both the country and the dynasty. Why do you have to report to the official's family? If the court discussion starts at that time, I am afraid that before Fan Yongji surrenders, the other party will be wiped out by the Chifeng army. Even if the Red Phoenix Army was not destroyed, then Mongolia had already taken action to destroy this person. When the time comes, we will be empty of bamboo baskets. ”

He didn't have some opinions about Zhao Yun, but it was really because of his usual experience that he knew Zhao Yun's usual practices, and that kind of behavior made him particularly annoying.

Zheng Qingzhi was different, just sighed lightly, and said, "Alas. I know that you have always shirked the court's discussions, but you should also know that this matter involves a lot of things, and it can be resolved by accepting it. If it had not been discussed by the court, I am afraid that this matter would have become an opportunity for us to fall. ”

"Is it possible?" Dong Huai asked again, full of doubt in his voice.

Zheng Qingzhi replied, "Of course." ”

"Okay. I understand. Dong Huai pursed his lips a little bored, followed closely behind Zheng Qingzhi, and walked towards the Vertical Arch Palace.

After walking for about three quarters of an hour, the two of them had already arrived in front of the vertical arch hall, and after making a report to the yellow door at the door, the two stood quietly outside the door, waiting for the message of the people inside. After waiting for about half an hour, a man came from among them. This person's face is as white as snow and his face is flattering, it is Zhao Yun's subordinate servant Dong Songchen, because he is good at figuring out his intentions, so he is valued by Zhao Yun and accepted as a personal attendant.

Hearing Dong Songchen bow to the two of them, he immediately said: "The saint is already waiting inside, and I ask the two of you to follow me." ”

"Dong Zhiban, what is the official family doing now, why has it been delayed for so long?"

Although Dong Huai didn't like this person, he wanted to know Zhao Yun's current situation, so he opened his mouth and asked.

This Dong Songchen shook his head slightly, and replied helplessly: "Alas." Speaking of which, you two are not here at the right time. At present, the Holy Lord is listening to a little song at Yan Guifei's place, although we have the intention to dissuade it, but we have no choice but to be angry, how dare our family be angry? This has been delayed for such a long time!"

"Concubine Jia?"

Zheng Qingzhi thought lightly, and frowned unconsciously.

Zheng Qingzhi was even more annoyed, and shouted at Dong Songchen with a cold snort: "Now, before the red sun has set, he is messing around in the harem?

Dong Songchen was just a weak eunuch, so he was naturally trembling with fright, and said in a low voice: "I also said it." But the saint was trapped in political affairs for a long time, and he was very tired. I think it's good for him to relax a little, so I didn't dissuade him much. ”

"What does it mean to be relaxed? If you delay the affairs of the court because of this, can you take responsibility?" Dong Huai was extremely annoyed, and opened his mouth to reprimand again.

"Tingzhi!"

Walking aside, Zheng Qingzhi shouted suddenly, and even Dong Huai was stunned immediately, and then said: "Now that the Holy Lord has arrived, don't continue to entangle on this." As soon as he saw the door open in the distance, he took the lead in walking into it, and when he saw Zhao Yun sitting on the chair in the distance, he immediately leaned down and bowed respectfully: "The old minister knocks on Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty a continuous happiness." ”

Immediately after, Dong Huai and Dong Songchen also bowed down in unison, bowing solemnly towards the person in front of them.

"The two are important ministers of the court, so there is no need to make such a big gift. Get up. Although Zhao Yun in the distance was a little heroic, his face was tired, and his lips were a little pale, which was obviously caused by excessive indulgence.

After getting up, Dong Huai saw Zhao Yun's current appearance, and immediately felt resentful, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Majesty." According to Chen, although Yan Guifei is a little beautiful, she is only a prostitute, so she has learned the ability to be a solid pet. If you continue to be obsessed, you are afraid that it will cause damage to Your Majesty's body. And today's queen Xie Daoqing is gentle and peaceful, so she must not be despised lightly. Your Majesty. ”

At first hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately held on to the smile on his face, but he looked at Dong Huai a little unkindly, and said perfunctorily in his mouth: "I know what Aiqing said." Although he knows, it is one thing to hear it, and it is another thing to do it, but it is inconvenient for him to reprimand the other party, so he will prevaricate.

"That's right, Dong Huai. Don't forget the purpose of our visit!"

Zheng Qingzhi glared at Zhao Yun with some reproach, and then stepped forward and handed over the letter in his hand: "This is the letter submitted by Meng Hui, please look at it Your Majesty." ”
