The struggle of the reborn prince

The hostages of the Jin Kingdom and the Jinying peace talks were restarted, and the venue for this negotiation was set at Huining City. Zhao Tuo sent a negotiating mission headed by Ma Kuo.According to the previous rules, when ministers go on envoys, the guards send troops to act as guards, but this time he ordered the Mughal tribe chief Hutura to lead the guards.Everyone was very puzzled by the emperor's actions, but they just smiled and didn't let them talk too much. Everyone also knew that the emperor was always unpredictable, so they stopped trying to persuade them.

Immediately afterwards, General Zhao ordered lions to go to Xielishui to deploy defenses to block the Khitan corps coming to the "King Qin"; general Linghu occupied Ma Jiling to block Wanyan Kexi's corps.At the same time, let all armies prepare siege equipment, conduct comprehensive reconnaissance against Huining City, formulate siege tactics, conduct pre-war drills, and launch attacks when the time is right, but he used this rare leisure time before the war to take his wife with him. , leading a group of guards to fish and hunt.

"Your Majesty, did you send Erwa to lead the troops to attack the City of the Five Kingdoms, did you intend to kill the deposed emperor Yelu Yanxi, leaving the Khitan crowd without a leader, and thus collapsed?" The weather was fine today, and Zhao Tuo set up a stall by the river. Wrong $ ().()()().() Fishing, but after all, it's autumn, the weather is getting colder, especially the wind on the river, so Xin Zhao put a cloak on the emperor and said.

"Kill him?!" Zhao Tang shook his head and said, "An old man who is dying, how could I kill him, and besides, he is no longer a threat to us, so what's the use of killing him, it will bring bad reputation!" "Then why does your majesty save him? Wouldn't it be possible to get rid of him by killing him with the hands of the fake Jurchen?" Xin Zhao asked, tilting his head.

"Hehe, what you said is insincere. If I really want to kill him, I'm afraid you and the noble concubine will blame me for not helping me, and I won't talk to me anymore." Zhao Tian smiled and blinked.

"Your Majesty said again. How can there be father and son brothers in the war between the two armies? Even though the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty is my old master. But now that I and the concubine are married to Your Majesty, I am a member of the Song Dynasty. I will never be ruined by family affairs. State affairs." Xin Zhao said seriously.

"Okay, I've thought too much about this. After the Jurchen is destroyed, the whole world is the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, so how can we divide it between you and me? Of course, I saved Yelu Yanxi for no reason. From the perspective of family affection, he He is the father of the noble concubine, and also has inextricable connections with your family. He is my father-in-law and the head of the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing the suffering makes me feel uneasy; besides, the Jurchens now want to use the Khitan people for help, and the Khitan people are Using it as a banner, we rescued him, making it impossible for the Jurchens to control them, but making those Khitan people who wish to restore their country come to nothing, without weapons." Zhao Tong explained.

"Your Majesty, I still have one thing that I don't understand. Now that the two armies have joined forces, they have enough food and supplies. Why don't they attack the city as soon as possible and negotiate with them? I'm afraid there is a deeper meaning in it? A lot of words" Zhao Xin asked again. "You are really the roundworm in my stomach. I can't hide anything from you." Zhao Tong looked at Zhao Dao with resentment in his eyes. "I have not launched a decisive battle for a long time. One is that although we have captured most of the counties in Liaodong and Liaoxi, we have not yet set foot in remote areas. It will be very troublesome to conquer in the future. If we don't let them fall into the trap by themselves; the other is. My selfishness..."

"Oh, Your Majesty still wants the Kingdom of Jin to present their princess, princess and Meiji. Enjoy yourself!" Zhe Meiluan on the other side said before the emperor finished speaking.

"Where did this come from!" Zhao Tun said with embarrassment, his face blushing.

"What does that mean? We don't have anything in the Song Dynasty, gold, silver, jewelry, or silk. As long as your Majesty asks, there is probably nothing in the world that we can't get. Don't make excuses!" Zhe Meiluan was merciless, Keep making fun of the emperor.

"I just want to give back to them what the Jurchens forced on Da Song back then, so that they can understand reincarnation and retribution, but people may say that I'm a villain!" Zhao Tong said hastily.

"Ah?! Your Majesty's original intention is like this!" Zhe Meiluan said with some surprise, the emperor deliberately planned the Northern Expedition, so there was such a reason in it.

"Happiness and hatred are the true qualities of a hero, how can His Majesty be a villain!" Xin Zhao said seriously.

"Your Majesty's move will wipe out the shame that has been suppressed in the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty for many years. I am afraid that those sour scholars will compete to sing praises, and they will never gossip." Zhe Meiluan also said.

"Hehe, no matter what they say, I did it anyway, so let's have a fucking good time!" Zhao Tuo smiled and raised his pole violently, a big fish was thrown onto the shore...

…………

Ma Kuo didn't care about going to the city to negotiate. He knew that the Huining Mansion was the only land left in the Kingdom of Jin. No matter whether the negotiation was successful or not, it would sooner or later be destroyed.Therefore, after he entered the city, he still maintained a peaceful mind, talking about whatever he wanted to do, without giving in, insisting that the Kingdom of Jin must surrender to the Song Dynasty, otherwise other conditions would not be discussed.Of course, Wan Yanquan would never compromise on this, negotiable peace does not mean surrender, great things can only be accomplished if you can bend and stretch, and under the current situation, you can't be tough, so you can only let Zhang Hao and others deal with the Song envoy.

Wan Yanquan knew that the peace negotiations between Song and Jin were not once or twice, so although he was stubborn, he was not rigid, and understood that his peace negotiations were nothing more than delaying time for the final struggle, so the strategy he adopted was to pretend to be sick. Itching, I can't meet the envoys of the Song Dynasty, let's talk about cutting the emperor's title as a minister later!Over the years, Ma Kuo has mainly done foreign relations, dealing with envoys from various countries, and he has visited other countries many times.And there are a few diplomats who are short-sighted, they are all top-notch and old-fashioned, how can they not see through Wan Yanquan's tricks, but they don't expose them, and the two sides are more patient.

But Hutura, who served as the guard of the envoy of the Song Dynasty, did not do his duty. Since he entered Huining City, he has regarded himself as the boss of the suzerain country, and began to run amok in the city.Going to restaurants, whoring women, and robbing things are all trivial matters. From time to time, they beat Jin Guo officials at will, venting the anger of the Jurchens for many years.But the Jurchen dared not speak out at this time, she had to show her right side after being hit on the left side, for fear of offending the people of Song Dynasty.

After all, Hutula was a rude warrior who grew up in the grasslands. He had no culture, was used to being arrogant and domineering, and had a bad temper. I can't hold back my temper.So they ran to the gate of the palace city of the Kingdom of Jin and yelled and cursed, insulting Wanyan Quan in their words, even the eight generations of their ancestors greeted them over and over again.

Hu Tulu got angry after scolding enough, and went back to the post house triumphantly!But the soldiers of the Golden Army guarding the palace city were shocked and angry. This was too bullying. In the past, the Mughals would bend their knees when they saw them, and later killed their two patriarchs. Blocking the gate of the palace and yelling at the emperor, this makes them soldiers who have no face.No, soldiers can be killed and cannot be humiliated. At worst, fighting them to the death is better than living in humiliation.

In the middle of the night, a centurion of the Jin army guarding the palace led his troops to quietly surround the posthouse, and then suddenly launched an attack and rushed into the station of the Song mission. more than ten.Hu Tulu led the rest of the guards to fight desperately until Wanyan Zongxiong arrived after receiving the news, but most of the members of the mission had been beheaded and suffered heavy losses.

Wanyan Zongxiong was dumbfounded looking at the corpses lying on the ground in a pool of blood. He understood that attacking and killing the mission meant that the Kingdom of Jin had completely cut off the way to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty.Wan Yanquan doesn't need to pretend to be sick now, he feels that he is really sick, and the peace talks that had room for maneuver were ruined by these officers and soldiers who were loyal to the country and themselves, but since there is no room now, the only thing he can do is to be brave I have accepted the challenge, it is best to let myself die for the country in the battle, and die in the community...

After negotiations the next day, the Kingdom of Jin guaranteed the envoy's safe departure from the city and paid a large pension, while the Song Dynasty released the hostage Ji Wang Wanyan Xinilie back.When Ma Kuo and others returned to the camp, tens of thousands of Song troops moved forward quickly, set up cannons and bombarded Huining City, and under the cover of artillery fire, they carried out trench filling operations and advanced towards the buffer zone formed by the low wall outside the city. , the siege battle kicked off, and Huining City also experienced the baptism of war for the first time after its completion!
