Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 530 The North-South Alliance Again 1
"Prosperity, the people are suffering. Death, the people are suffering. Your Majesty Wang is so wise, I am ashamed!" Xu Han looked at Wang Xiu meaningfully, as if there was a hint of admiration, but he savored it carefully but not completely.

Zong Ze nodded slowly. He understood the sentiments of the people and felt pity for the people. He also believed that the world was in chaos and the people really needed to recuperate.However, as a minister of the imperial court, Wulu Jieshuai must not tolerate the sinking of Hebei and Hedong, and the humiliation of the two emperors Beishou.The so-called worrying about the people is just trying to make up for it after completing the great cause, and it is definitely not a matter of endurance. He immediately said: "The armies from all walks of life are waiting for the day, and they don't know where the soldiers are going. I am afraid that greed will develop over time, and I hope the disposal department will make a decision. "

"Zhanhe is in the two mansions, and the officials are still waiting for the imperial court's order." Wang Xiu responded indifferently, how could he not understand that Zong Ze was prodding him to fight, and how could he fall into this evil trick.

"The new defeat of the captives and the rise of rebel armies in Hebei is a good time to recover the lost land. My lord is ordered to use the fake festival ax to lead the Jiangbei Affairs Management Department. Please also spread the news that the general will go north in time, and great things will surely be achieved." Zong Ze is still alive. Heart, straight to the point and pressed Wang Xiu, asking Wang Xiu to show her attitude.

Wang Xiu was deeply displeased. Zong Ze is also a wise man, and he is definitely a noble existence in his mind. Why can't you wait patiently when you are so obsessed?Look at how this war is fought, is there any hope of victory?In the Battle of the West of Beijing, the Great Song Dynasty brought together the elites of Qu Duan and Wang Yuan, and successively invested 18 troops. Nianhan only invested less than [-] cavalry troops, and [-] foot soldiers, and they were able to retreat in a hurry. How do you go deep into the Hebei Great Plains? ?What do you use to fight with others?
He still took care of Zongze's face, and after pondering for a while, he said: "The captives are not injured. Once a large army of the imperial court goes north, they will face more than [-] cavalry. Not to mention, in just a few dozen days, Jiangbei Cang When the wealth is exhausted, how can we spend tens of millions of gold to supply military supplies? We have to think about it in the long run."

"My lord Wang is right!" Xu Han sighed lightly, and he had to admit that what Wang Xiu said was reasonable. War is about fighting for strength. As a left-behind minister, how could he not know about this war and consume all of Kaifeng's rich food reserves? , only enough for two months for the people of Kaifeng.Hundreds of thousands of troops marched north, and the consumption was definitely not at 01:30. Everyone knew the consequences of having no food for the army.

Zong Ze glanced at Xu Han with dissatisfaction. The high-spirited character in the past has lost his ambition and no longer has the pride he had when he was high-spirited. He really has nothing to say in life.

"It's a bit of a fluke to beat back the captives. It's imperative to recuperate. You have to rely on the two of you along the river. The Jurchen mission is coming tomorrow, and the envoy is actually Xiao Qing. We really want to meet this person A Khitan nobleman!" Wang Xiu didn't want to talk about the Northern Expedition anymore, and turned to government affairs, his words represented the imperial court, and he absolutely said what he said.

Zongze looked calm, nodded and said: "Xuanfu Division has selected thousands of officials, and they will leave the city tomorrow to meet this upstart Jurchen Khitan."

A smirk flashed across Wang Xiu's face, and he said teasingly: "Let this great Khitan Confucianist watch our great Song army, and pass a message to the Jurchen Lord, don't be full and have nothing to do, and cross the river every day to make trouble."

Xu Han was thoughtful, Nian Xu said in a low voice: "I don't know, can we change to 20 years of silence."

"20 years is too long!" Wang Xiu glanced at Xu Han lightly and said.

Zong Ze smacked his lips, as if he still wanted to speak, but seeing Wang Xiu staring straight ahead, not even looking at him, he understood that he had made a decision long ago and would not allow him to speak.That's right, Wang Xiu did ignore his capital, not to mention the ruling status of the two governments, his record of fighting all the way is not comparable to him, especially the battle of Mangdang Mountain. Wushu was captured alive.

Thinking about it differently, Wang Xiu's claim seemed reasonable. He decided to look at the situation and hope that the Jurchens would be tougher. He had never expected the Jurchens to be tough on Da Song, but today he was vaguely looking forward to it.

The Jurchen envoy Xiao Qing entered Kaifeng again, and it was the same as last time, it was also a bitingly cold winter.Well, it is almost autumn and winter when the Jin army goes south, which is beneficial for the cavalry to carry out assaults, and it can also ensure that spring fodder can be obtained locally when withdrawing troops.

However, the last time he entered the city as a victor, the important officials of the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty humbled themselves in front of him. This time the Jin army had no results, but he was quite unbearable, even a little embarrassed, because he already knew that Wang Xiu was in Kaifeng. the city to meet him.

Who is Wang Xiu? In his impression, he is a lunatic. He is not just a reckless man who is not dead. He has deep fear.

At the former site of the Minister of Rites, Wang Xiu proposed that the two countries strike back and restore the original state. He insisted that all the Jin troops withdraw from Hezhong Mansion. , Wei, and Hua cede the request, and mention that Jurchen betrayed the alliance and provoked a war, and must compensate the Song Dynasty for 20 million military expenditures.

Nima, Xiao Qing will inevitably have a toothache, this is too new, only the Jurchen blackmailed the Southern Dynasty in the past, and the Southern Dynasty asked the Jurchen to compensate, it is simply a joke in the world.

However, diplomatic relations depend on strength. You don’t have the power to suppress others. Everything has to be reshuffled. Facing Wang Xiu’s tough attitude, he has nothing to do. He was almost slaughtered by this guy, this massacre of ten thousand people really killed him!

Wang Xiu kept going every step of the way, constantly refuting Xiao Qing's unreasonable demands, and Zong Ze threatened to give support to the Lianghe rebels from time to time, and led his troops to kill Dahe.

How could Xiao Qing not understand the meaning, Wang Xiu and Zong Ze were singing a double reed, one with a white face and the other with a red face, he just sneered at it.However, in the face of Wang Xiu and others' strong demands to return Hezhong, and Jurchen had to compensate military expenses, he felt very helpless. Every time he proposed to increase the old coins, demarcate the Yellow River and stop the Song Dynasty's support to the rebels, he felt that he lacked confidence.After all, Jin Jun didn't win the battle, and Wu Shu almost didn't come back. He didn't have much bargaining power, so he was really aggrieved to the extreme.

"The court of the Song Dynasty can continue to abide by the agreement, but the master of your country should also show sincerity and hand over the general who caused the trouble first, so that the north and the south can continue to negotiate." Wang Xiu directly made the final request after the compromise between the two sides reached the culmination. It's a slap in the face!Winning or losing is a common matter for military strategists, but if the general and school who started the incident were really handed over, then Wu Qimai would be ashamed.The morale of the Golden Army will be affected.

The half-month negotiation can be said to be the most difficult time for Xiao Qing. He really thought hard about the Jurchen regime and spared no effort to fight for it.

Jurchen gave up asking for Fuzhou Road and Sanzhou, and severely reprimanded the frontier generals who provoked the war, and beheaded several officials who lied about Song's preparations for the Northward Army.
