Chapter 254: Lobbyist
As Yan Honglie expected, after the Northern Expeditionary Army rested in Luoyang City for three days, it left only 5,000 soldiers to stay in Luoyang, and the main army was mighty, killing Kaifeng City within one day, and the next day, Kaifeng City, which had a garrison of less than 10,000, was broken by the Northern Expeditionary Army with high morale.
From the beginning of the Northern Expedition to the present, it took less than half a month to recover the old capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.
When the news was transmitted back to Lin'an, the whole Song Dynasty celebrated, and Han Yanxuan's prestige was lost for a while, and the Lord and the faction suddenly died down.
And when the 100,000 army led by Duji Sili came to Kaifeng City, inside and outside the city, an endless number of Song troops poured out, attacking back and forth, beating Dujisili's 100,000 Jin army to the ground, and the army was defeated. Duji Sili was frightened and fled in a hurry, bringing back less than 10,000 defeated soldiers and fleeing back to the middle capital.
When the gold lord heard the news, he was afraid and angry, and he beheaded Duji Sili on the spot, and he was about to issue an order to negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty. But he was blocked by Wanyan Honglie, who thought that when he was losing and retreating like this, he would negotiate peace with Song Jun, and the possibility of Song Jun accepting it would be very small.
Only after a big victory and the sharp spirit of the Northern Expeditionary Army are frustrated, and then the peace proposal is proposed, the Southern Dynasties will consider it carefully, and in such a situation, Daikin can also have some capital for negotiation, so as not to be too humiliated in the negotiation of peace.
Wan Yan Jing had already had no master of the six gods at this time, and when he saw Wan Yan Honglie come forward, he immediately said yes again and again, and ordered King Zhao Wan Yan Honglie to have full authority to deal with the war matters, and he was even ready to pass the throne to Wan Yan Honglie as soon as the situation deteriorated again.
After Yan Honglie received the order, he was mixed with joy, and sent troops to advance and stick to the front line. On the one hand, he sent an envoy to the Temujin tribe and ordered the Jin State Mobei to recruit the leader of Temujin. Led the department to come to help. He remembered that Temujin's official position was still sealed by him when he went to the desert.
After the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Kaifeng, it did not stop for long, and the army was dispatched to sweep through the land of Henan and Shandong, and almost the entire hinterland of the Central Plains was included in the rear.
And the front of the army continued to the north. Pointing directly to the secluded Yanyun land where the central capital is located, the central capital city was frightened three times a day, Wan Yan Jing was frightened, and he couldn't live in fear; Wan Yan Hongxi indulged in lust every day, as if he wanted to enjoy this short rich life.
Wanyan Honglie sat in front of the bookcase of King Zhao's mansion, his face cloudy, anxiously waiting for news from Mongolia. The entire Zhongdu City was in a panic, and the dignitaries and nobles of the Jin Kingdom were not singing every night. Even if they don't go out all day, even the common people in the central capital are uncertain, they feel that once the army comes, they will not distinguish between Han people and gold people, and will only rob treasures when they see them, and violence when they see women.
In the anxious waiting of Wanyan Honglie, inside the tent of the Mongolian tribe Temujin. But there was a lot of laughter, but in the midst of this laughter. With endless ridicule and ridicule.
"Dajin is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, can't he beat a mere Song Dynasty, and still want us Mongolians to help?" Jochi's voice was particularly harsh in these laughter.
The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin was a young man, less than twenty years old, who turned a deaf ear to the mocking laughter that filled the tent. Just stared intently at the big man with fine eyes sitting in the first place, and after staring for a long time, he suddenly laughed, and the laughter was extraordinarily majestic, not drowned out by the laughter of the Mongolian generals in the tent.
He laughed. The Mongolian general suddenly stopped laughing, his face was ugly, this golden man obviously asked them Mongolia, how could he dare to be so unscrupulous?
Jochi was even more furious, and shouted: "Bold, how can you be so presumptuous in my Mongolian tent?"
The envoy of the Jin Kingdom didn't look at Jochi, laughed again, and said, "I heard our prince say that the Great Khan of Mongolia Temujin was a hero. It's a pity that when I see it today, it's better to be famous than to meet!"
Jochi was even more furious, and pulled out the whip from his waist, and was about to draw it at the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, but the envoy of the Jin Kingdom avoided it, so he grabbed Jochi's whip and held it firmly in his hand, no matter how hard Jochi tried, he could not withdraw it.
"You!" Jochi's face turned red, the Mongols were the most heroic heroes, and now this envoy of the Jin Kingdom surpassed him in strength, even Borhumu Huali and the others, they were not easy to help.
Temujin didn't speak, but his eyes as sharp as a falcon had already looked at the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, and then he said, "You say that I, Temujin, am not a hero?"
When the envoy of the Jin Kingdom heard this, he snorted coldly, shook his hand and released the whip, and immediately took Jochi with him, almost losing his footing, and after looking at Jochi's embarrassed shape, he said to Temujin: "Exactly!"
"How so, if you can't tell a truth, you won't want to get out of this tent today!" Temujin's voice suddenly became very cold, with a murderous aura.
The envoy of the Jin Kingdom shrank his pupils, the Mongols at this time did not have any rules for not beheading him, and he had no doubt that Temujin would cut off his head if he was even the slightest displeased.
However, the envoy of the Jin State still held his head high, and his trip was to persuade Temujin to lead troops to aid the Jin State, but the most important thing for any lobbyist is the momentum. He knew that as long as he showed the slightest timidity, his hope of success on this trip would be greatly reduced.
"There are no weak soldiers under strong generals, and the subordinates of heroes and heroes must also be heroes!" The envoy of the Jin State said in a resounding voice, "But when I look at the command of Temujin Khan, there are all sharp-toothed people who only know how to laugh at others, and do not have the insight and responsibility of heroes. Since they are not heroes, as their leader, Temujin, how can you be considered a hero?"
As soon as these words came out, Jochi Borhu and the others were furious, and they all drew their scimitars, and as long as Temujin gave an order, they would immediately kill this unknown envoy of the Jin Kingdom.
Who knew that Temujin was not only not annoyed, but laughed out loud, and he said: "My account of Bolhu, Mu Huali, Borshu, Chilaowen and others are the most brave warriors in Mongolia, and you actually say that they are not heroes and heroes? is it because they have no knowledge? Then I want to hear what you think?"
The envoy of the Jin Kingdom said proudly: "I naturally don't have any high opinions. But I at least know that since ancient times, the biggest enemies of the peoples on the grassland have always been the seemingly weak Han people. And the Han people, since ancient times, have also hated the peoples on the grassland the most. ”
As soon as these words came out, Temujin's brows furrowed, but he did not speak, just waiting for the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin to continue.
"From the beginning of recorded history, there have been dog Rong raging, and then the king of Zhou broke the dog Rong. Then there were Huns in Baishan Mountain to trap Han Gaozu, a few decades later, Wei Qinghuo went to illness and almost killed the Huns. ”
"During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Wuhu flourished and established dynasties in the Central Plains, but the Wu Mourning Heavenly King Ran Min killed Hu Ling together, and the Hu people were terrified. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Turks rose, and Li Jing swept through the desert and drove the Turks to the ends of the earth. ”
And now, the Song Dynasty, which has always been weak, has shown its fangs after decades of hibernation. The Han people have been bullied by our northern people for hundreds of years, and now that they are strong, how can they let us go? Once the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, the eyes of the Han people will be fixed on the grassland!"
"The truth of the cold lips and teeth is the simplest, but under the command of the ridiculous Temujin Khan, there is no one who understands, how can these short-sighted people be called heroes?"
After the impassioned words of the envoy of the Jin State, he looked around, and saw that all the Mongolian generals in the tent were a little ashamed, but at the same time, with some hesitation, he couldn't help nodding slightly in his heart, this remark was not in vain.
When he looked at Temujin, he found that the other party's sharp eyes were staring at him, and said: "Why do you think that the Han people have the strength to deal with our Mongolia, you must know that your Jin Kingdom, in the past hundred and ten years, has not been helpless against our Mongolia?"
The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin said: "The Great Khan is false. Dajin is Dajin, Han people are Han people, I, Dajin, can't deal with you Mongolia, but Han people, they must have a way!"
"How so?" Temujin continued.
The envoy of the Jin State paused slightly, and then said: "You Mongolians live in pursuit of water and grass, and there is no fixed place to live, and the grassland desert is vast and boundless, so it is difficult to encircle and suppress you, so we have not been able to incorporate the Mongolian desert into the territory. ”
As soon as these words came out, Temujin nodded slightly, and Borhu and the others also looked thoughtful.
The envoy of the Jin State continued: "It's just that there is another reason why Dajin failed to win your Mongolia, one is that there is still the worry of the Southern Dynasty in the south, so that we cannot deal with the Mongols with all our might; By the time we are almost done learning, there is not enough time. ”
"A few months ago, the prince of my family came to the desert once, and you recruited envoys for Mobei, although this official position is glorious, but it has not caused trouble to the Great Khan? God knows what kind of unbelievable way the current Han people will come up with to deal with you Mongols!"
"It turns out that your official position as Great Khan is a conspiracy!" the Mongol generals were furious, and Jochi roared out.
Temujin smiled and said, "Don't you understand this?" But even so, I, Temujin, am still not afraid. ”
The envoy of the Jin State also smiled and said: "This is the wisdom of the previous generation of the Han people, you may not be afraid of the Great Khan." But now the Han people have invented weapons to make soldiers fly into the sky, I wonder if you, Great Khan, will be afraid when facing the endless Han army that falls from the sky?"
