As for the so-called covenant to protect the Song State, it is just a pretext.

After all, at this stage, the Han Dynasty did not plan to move troops against the Song State, and after the destruction of Tubo and Western Xia, it was time to move troops against the Song State.

And the covenant will definitely not be torn up by the big man.

After the Han Dynasty destroyed Tubo and Western Xia, the Song State would inevitably feel the pressure, so as to attack the Han Dynasty, and the covenant would naturally be torn up, and then the Han Dynasty would be famous for destroying the Song Dynasty.

It's all there.

are all within the calculations of Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming, do you think the people of these Three Kingdoms will give in?" Jia Xu smiled and looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.

"Yes, because my big man now occupies the absolute home field, and they have to play from. Zhuge Liang said very confidently.

"Western Xia, Tubo, Song Kingdom, and even the world in this world, after all, are just the iron hooves of my Han Dynasty and his day, so there is nothing to worry about. Jia Xu said calmly, and with a casual remark, you could hear the pride in his tone about the strength of the big man.

"The next thing is to wait for five days, and the three countries will give us a result. ”

......

Western Xia court.

"Bastard, they are lions with a big mouth, and they actually want me to cede fifteen cities to them in Xixia in order to redeem Helian Shu and Wutang warriors. Li Qianshun angrily threw his hand on the ground and scolded angrily.

The emperor was angry. The officials of the Western Xia court were all terrified.

"Ceding the city, such a shame, how can I agree?" Li Qianshun gritted his teeth and said.

For the head of a country, it is not only power that is in control, but also dignity.

Losing one's territory and ceding one's city is the greatest blasphemy against the king.

Li Qianshun is very ambitious, he wants to destroy the Song Dynasty and dominate the Central Plains, and now he wants to exchange the city for Helian Shu, but he is a little unwilling.

"Please also ask the emperor to calm his anger, this city, I have to cut it in Western Xia. ”

A Western Xia courtier said in fear.

"Why?" Li Qianshun frowned.

"General Helian is my Western Xia general, he has won the hearts of the people in my Western Xia army, and this time he was captured not only by him but also by many martial arts masters, if the emperor ignores them, then my Western Xia morale will be wiped out, and the martial arts masters of the Central Plains will not defect to my Western Xia again. The courtier said.

"Yes. Li Qianshun's brows gradually stretched, as if he was deeply worried.

"At most, ten cities, otherwise my Western Xia will directly send troops to attack Han. ”

After struggling for a long time, Li Qianshun threw out a sentence.

"Your Majesty. ”

"At this time, cut the city, and when my Western Xia army is exhausted, it will be the day of the destruction of the Han Dynasty, and everything that has been lost will be recaptured. The Western Xia courtiers said one after another.

"Hmph. ”

"Han Guo, you wait for me, I will remember the shame this time, and he will repay it every day. Li Qianshun thought gloomily in his heart.

Tibetan.

"It's too much of a deception. ”

"My Tubo land is already barren, and he actually wants me ten cities?" After the Great Khan of Tubo received the report from Dali, he was also extremely angry.

"Great Khan, what should we do? Divide the city or go to war?" the Tibetan courtiers all set their eyes on the figure of the high seat.

"The national teacher is the pillar of my Tibet, and he must not die. Tubo sweated with a cold face and said unwillingly.

The situation was the same as that of Western Xia.

The people who were captured by the Han Dynasty were all important figures in their country, and once they died, they had a great impact on the fortunes of the country.

"Pass the order to my son, at most seven cities, otherwise I will meet the soldiers of the Han State in Tibet. The Tibetan Khan was immersed for a long time and spit out a sentence.

...

Song.

"Your Majesty, the news that Cai Xiang came back is like this, if you want to get the alliance of the Han Kingdom, there is only one way. In the court, a courtier respectfully bowed to Zhao Ji.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Ji's expression was complicated.

"What a threat and coercion, what a city to seek refuge. ”

After a long time, Zhao Ji sighed faintly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

The emperor was angry. The courtiers of the Song Dynasty said one after another.

"Sima Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?" Zhao Ji's eyes moved and fell on Sima Guang's body.

"The minister thinks that if the situation is today, there are Liao soldiers in the north, Western Xia and Han in the west, and my Great Song Dynasty has been surrounded by strong enemies, and the minister agreed to Cai Xiang's proposal to cut the city to the Han State and conclude an alliance. Sima Guang, who has always been against Cai Jing, actually nodded in agreement this time.

But.

Among the ministers, there are different voices.

"Lord Sima's words are wrong. ”

"Although those cities border Western Xia, they are the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and they must not be ceded out. A Wenchen stood up with a straight face and resolutely objected.

"Lord Wang, what you said is a bit excessive, now no one in the world knows that my Great Song Dynasty has been fighting with the Western Xia every year, working the people and losing money, as long as those cities are given to the Han Kingdom, the future Western Xia soldiers will inevitably be aimed at the Han Kingdom instead of my Great Song Dynasty, such a big benefit, how can it not be?" Sima Guang looked at the loud Wenchen with a cold face.

"Since ancient times, there has been a theory of cold lips and teeth, although my Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia are hostile, but they are two neighboring countries, the Han State let my Great Song Dynasty cede the five cities bordering Western Xia, the purpose is simply to destroy the Western Xia, the Western Xia is destroyed, my Song State must be the next target of the Han State. The courtier surnamed Wang said very seriously.

"The covenant cannot be broken, and the Han State will never break the covenant, otherwise it will be spurned by all the countries in the world, and even if he destroys the Western Xia, what can he do, the strongest in the world is still the Liao State, and he does not dare to go too far with the Han State. Sima Guang insisted on his own opinion.

"Lord Sima's move is suspected of treason. "The courtier surnamed Wang is obviously a little stubborn.

"Wang Anshi, you have to pay attention to who you are talking to, I am the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, ranked first-class, you are just a third-grade official, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority. Sima Guang said angrily.

"For the officials and the country, you must not do anything that humiliates the country and the emperor. Wang Anshi said firmly, not afraid of Sima Guang's power.

"You—" Sima Guang glared angrily.

"Enough. ”

On the dragon chair, Zhao Ji waved his hand with a cold face.

The emperor was angry. The ministers hurriedly said.

"This matter will be discussed later, Sima Guang will stay, and let's disperse. Zhao Ji waved his hand and retreated from the ministers.

"The ministers retired. Except for Sima Guang, the other courtiers retreated one after another.

In the main hall, only Sima Guang was left.

"Cessing the city to the Han Kingdom, can you ensure the peace of my Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years?" Zhao Ji stared at Sima Guangdao.

"Back to the emperor, after ceding the city, it is my Great Song Dynasty to sign an alliance with the Han State, if the Han State reneges on the alliance, it will be spurned by the people of the world, and besides, Lord Cai Jing should also agree with this matter. Sima Guang said.

"In this way, you secretly informed Cai Jing that the covenant was carried out secretly and must not be known by the court. ”

"Commandment. ”
