Chapter 451 Please confirm

The voice in his mind had disappeared. Although Zhao Gou felt a little lost without the interference of the voice, and even felt flustered and lost, he still managed to gather his energy and discuss with Wanyan Zongwang seriously.

After Zhao Gou left, the two parties only reached a preliminary verbal agreement. Zhao Gou was not stupid and could not leave fatal paper evidence. Wanyan Yanmu looked at Wanyan Zongwang.

"Zong Wang, do you believe what he said?"

"Of course, the prince of the Song Dynasty is definitely ambitious for the throne. Besides, this time the Ming Dynasty emperor betrayed him, it is abnormal for him to not think of any way to take revenge.

Speaking of which, what if he really lied to us? Da Jin has clearly seen the reality of Song State this time. If Taiyuan was not difficult to capture, Bianjing would have already broken the city.

When we get to the city of Bianjing again, we can have a good talk with Emperor Song and get Taiyuan. Next time we can work together to reach Bianjing in two directions and completely destroy the Song Dynasty.

When the time comes, what if Zhao Gou regrets and doesn't cooperate? Wouldn't it be better to become an emperor? There are two emperors of the Song Dynasty, oh no, there is one who ran to the south. These three emperors themselves will be in chaos."

"Haha, it makes sense. The Song Dynasty is just a bunch of two-legged sheep. If it weren't for the strong hold on the city, their emperor would have been captured by us long ago.

It's really ridiculous. The emperor abdicated when he heard the news, and fled when he heard the war. In the past thousands of years, when had there ever been such an emperor?"

Wanyan's mother's words immediately made Wanyan Zongwang laugh out loud. They had also heard about the story of Zhao Ji from the Song Dynasty fleeing in danger.

But after he finished laughing, Wanyan Zongwang looked southward with deep eyes.

"This Emperor Xuanhe has some thoughts and will definitely be difficult to deal with in the future. Although he is timid and afraid of fighting, his eyes are bright and wise, and he can see that the Song army is defeated by Dajin and takes the initiative to flee.

But it's a pity that he didn't expect that Taiyuan of the Song Dynasty had warriors guarding the city and hundreds of thousands of people who were willing to serve the king and stopped us, otherwise his plan would have really come true."

While Wanyan Zongwang was talking, thousands of miles to the south, in Danyang County, Zhenjiang Prefecture, Zhao Jinan fled to Zhenjiang and heard that Zhao Ji was suing for peace, so he settled down and waited for the news. It had been ten days.

Although he was in Zhenjiang, news from Bianjing was urgently transported by waterway every day, which allowed him to easily learn the latest military news for response and arrangements.

At this time, Zhao Ji's deputy envoy to the Emperor's Palace, Yu Wencuizhong, took a document and quickly ran to the main door of Zhao Ji's palace and knocked on the door softly.

After Tong Guan's greeting came from inside, he opened the door and entered. What he saw was Zhao Ji and his favorite minister Tong Guan.

"Your Majesty, the news from Bianjing can be confirmed that the officials have agreed to pay 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, and 10,000 oxen and horses to the Jin Army.

He bought a million pieces of silk and satin, honored Emperor Jin as his uncle, ceded the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian, sent the prime minister and the prince to the Jin camp as hostages, and sent the Jin army back across the Yellow River.

The news we have confirmed is that His Highness King Kang entered the Jin camp as a hostage on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month..."

"Ah??? I'm so confused! Since Bianjing has been defended, and King Qin's troops from all over the country have arrived in the capital, why does Xuan'er still want peace talks?

Ceding three towns, calling the Kingdom of Jin uncle, and Gou'er! Did Xuan'er really do this? That's his biological brother! This evil beast!

Why doesn't he just die? How can he be worthy of Taizu and the country that the Song Dynasty has opened up?"

Zhao Ji was shocked when he heard Yu Wen Cuizhong's words, and angrily threw down the tea cup in his hand. Although he was frightened and ran away when he heard the arrival of Jin Guo, that was also his plan.

His idea was to retain Zhao Huan and part of King Qin's army to consume the Kingdom of Jin and at the same time lay a time foundation for him to establish a political power in the south. There was a reason for this idea.

Six years ago, Zhao Ji saw that the Liao Kingdom was unable to fight back at the hands of the Jin Kingdom, and that the feuding Liao Kingdom could no longer hold on, so he had an idea.

After all, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was still occupied, so he sent people to negotiate with the Kingdom of Jin, sent money to support the Kingdom of Jin, and agreed that the two parties would jointly conquer the Liao Dynasty. After the war, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was returned to the Song Kingdom.

all.

Unfortunately, just after the alliance was negotiated, the Fangla Uprising broke out in the Song Dynasty. In order to suppress this uprising that shocked the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji sent Tong Guan, who had experience in conquering Xixia, to take command. This was delayed for another two years.

In the past two years, the Jin Dynasty continued to encroach on most of the Liao Kingdom and became stronger and stronger. By the time the Song Dynasty began to enter the scene, the Liao Kingdom's strength had been almost worn away.

But at this time, Tong Guan led an army to attack the Liao Kingdom, but it was of no use at all. He defeated Yanjing twice but failed to defeat it, and caused heavy losses to the Song Dynasty.

The combat effectiveness of the Jin army can be seen from the destruction of the Liao Kingdom. The Song and Jin Dynasties attacked the Liao Kingdom at the same time. The Jin Kingdom beat the Liao Kingdom and howled, and the Liao Kingdom emperor fled directly. In turn, the Song Kingdom defeated the Liao Kingdom.

No matter the pain or itching, fight after defeat.

Four of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom were conquered by the Jin Kingdom. Even the last Yanjing, Tong Guan was unable to capture it and was captured by the Jin Kingdom. They were lured by money and counted as captured by the Song Dynasty, which ended the national destiny of the Liao Kingdom.

During this period, the Song Dynasty, in addition to sending people to send money, only sent troops to die, without gaining any military exploits, and even achieved a glorious record of hundreds of thousands of troops being defeated by tens of thousands.

It is precisely because of this that after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Kingdom last year, it did not keep its promise and return the promised sixteen states of Yanyun to the Song Dynasty. After all, they were the ones who conquered the Liao Kingdom, so why should they give it to the Song Dynasty?

In the end, after Zhao Liangsi and other envoys endured humiliation and repeated negotiations, the Song Dynasty took back the empty city of Yanjing and six surrounding states from the Jin Dynasty at an extremely expensive and heavy economic price.

Failing to achieve his wish, the Jin State only repaid six states, and two of them surrendered voluntarily. This was enough for Zhao Ji to gain great reputation in the Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Ji was naturally not satisfied with these six states, so he kept sending people to try to get the remaining territory back, and kept adding more money. During this period, the two sides had frictions with each other due to territorial issues.

This kind of friction also paralyzed the hearts of everyone in the Song Dynasty. After all, during the negotiation, if the negotiations were not successful, it was normal for each other to have some fights. As long as there was no war, it was easy to talk.

It wasn't until October that the Jin army tore up the contract and the two armies invaded massively, which shattered Zhao Ji's dream of spending money to buy land.

All the way north of Taiyuan was conquered, and Guo Yaoshi on the Yanjing front surrendered directly, and even gave advice to the Jin soldiers, which made him feel dangerous and scared.

He was afraid that the Song State would be easily destroyed like the Liao State, and he was very suspicious of the Song State's army, so he had discussed with his subordinates early and prepared to abdicate and flee south.

In other words, the entire Song Dynasty was frightened by the Liao Kingdom's two-month attack on the Yellow River border.

When his thoughts came back, Zhao Ji looked at Yu Wen Cuizhong. Seeing that Yu Wen Cuizhong was speechless, he suddenly felt sullen.

Zhao Ji's surrender was not only embarrassing, but more importantly, it was even more embarrassing for him to run away as a foil. After all, Zhao Ji surrendered and ceded the land and was able to defend the city, but he seemed extremely useless.

Moreover, his plan to escape south was a complete failure. Now most of King Qin's troops from across the country were heading north. The troops gathered, but he was not seen.

This is scary, right? As an emperor, even if he abdicates, he will still find ways to control his power. If the military power does not recognize him, what do he do?

Tong Guan listened to the message without moving his face. The news of Bianjing's decision to surrender came two days ago, and he was already prepared at that time.

As early as a few months ago, Jin Bing had just mobilized troops to tear up the contract, and he was sent by Zhao Ji to test Jin Guo's intentions.

He politely discussed with the Jin people, but the Jin people didn't pay attention to him at all. Instead, they continued to attack and even asked him to cede territory and pay compensation. Tong Guan, who knew the importance of it, would never leave such a big stain on himself.

In this way, he was so frightened in Taiyuan that he rebuked the Taiyuan garrison, and then returned directly to Beijing. On the way, Zhao Ji was afraid and passed the throne directly to Zhao Huan. Tong Guan, who learned the news, felt like a thunderbolt.

He understood the principle of one emperor and one minister. Similarly, he also knew that what he had done over the years and the victory he led with heavy troops were enough to make him a thorn in Zhao Huan's side.

So Zhao Ji ran away and Zhao Huan didn't dare to stay in Bianjing. On the one hand, he was afraid that the Jin people would kill him in Bianjing and be captured and suffer punishment. On the other hand, he was afraid that Zhao Huan would purge the Supreme Emperor's gang members in order to protect himself.

leave.

On the way to Hangzhou, Zhao Ji fled and even intercepted King Qin's army along the way. When he arrived at Zhenjiang, he generously rewarded all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River and promoted and dismissed officials. He did not look like an emperor at all, as if he was still the original emperor.

All these behaviors allowed him to guess and understand Zhao Ji's thoughts. Zhao Ji wanted to sacrifice his son.

Now listening to Zhao Ji scolding Zhao Huan, Tong Guan thought to himself, I didn't learn this from you. If you hadn't given up on your son first, would your son have learned to give up on his younger brother?

There are no fathers and sons in the Tian family, and no brothers in the emperor. He has learned the lesson.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Jin Kingdom is extremely powerful and is besieging Bianjing. They only want to destroy the city and wash away the blood. Now they are just waiting for the city of Taiyuan to be broken and the two groups of Jin soldiers to surround them. By then, the government will be in danger!"

Although the troops of King Qin from various places arrived in Bianjing and hindered the Jin people from mobilizing troops, the Song Dynasty was already weak in military strength. It was understandable that the officials negotiated peace with them and avoided fighting. "

"Is this a peace talk? This is an insult to the whole Zhao family! Let me, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, call his Wanyan family uncle, what kind of humiliation is this?

And there is no need to wait for the city of Taiyuan to be destroyed. Taiyuan will be ceded to the three towns. Taiyuan was ceded to him, so what is the point of returning the city to destruction? Now

Yanjing has been destroyed again, and there is no longer a fortified city in the north to resist it. If the Jin people recuperate for a while and invade again, should they be allowed to march straight in? What a shame..."

Zhao Ji originally wanted to say that it would bring shame on the royal family, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that what Zhao Huan did did not seem to be shameful, huh?

Whose person should I lose? Starting from Song Gaozong Zhao Heng, the Song Dynasty was the glorious representative of land cessation and compensation. The Song Dynasty had millions of soldiers, and its economy crushed the nomads. Its commercial, industrial and agricultural industry was ranked first in the world. It should have been the overlord who dismissed Fang Qiu, and all nations came.

towards.

But since Emperor Gaozong, they have been fighting all the way, losing all the way, ceding land, paying indemnities, and suing for peace. The coins are distributed to Xia Liao Jin Tufan exactly like wages.

Especially with the friction on the border, wages have to be increased year by year, and they are more diligent than the salary increase. Xia Liao and Jin were embarrassed to act harshly. Every time they tried to scare the Song Dynasty, they could just attack two states and wait. Peace talks were made.

"Really, it's such a disgrace to Taizu! If Taizu knew about it, he wouldn't be so angry that he would get up."

"The Supreme Being is very worried, and his eyes are as bright as a torch. If this happens, Taiyuan will be lost, and the fall of Bianjing will be inevitable.

The top priority should be to continue to consolidate the defenses of Zhejiang and Guangnan to prevent the Jin Kingdom from moving south again, and to plan to welcome the officials' southward movement and stabilize the Song Dynasty."

"Yes, yes, your Majesty, the Prince of Guangyang is right. The defense of the south should be consolidated."

Yu Wencuizhong nodded repeatedly as he listened to Tong Guan's words, but what he was thinking in his mind was that with Tong Guan's urine, could he sincerely welcome the officials? He probably just said it nicely.

"We should discuss it again at this time. You can go out first. I am worried about national affairs. I fell into a dream last night and saw the broken mountains and rivers. I wanted to paint it."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. As long as your Majesty is here, the Song Dynasty will definitely be consolidated forever. If Duke Zhou has a cloud, it will be the opposite in his dream. This is great luck!"

Tong Guan listened to Zhao Ji's words and picked out what Zhao Ji liked to hear. He quickly coaxed Zhao Ji to sleep. After asking someone to bring ink paintings, Tong Guan closed the door and left, and the room became quiet again.

Zhao Ji picked up the paintbrush and recalled his dream at night. In the dream, the city of Bianjing was destroyed and it was like purgatory. After he was caught by the Jin people, he vowed to die and refused to surrender, and finally died with hatred.

"Hmph, how could the dream be reversed? If the Jin people break the city, they will definitely burn, kill and loot the capital. If I am caught, what else can I do besides die to comfort Taizu?"

In the end, Zhao Ji murmured that he did not believe that he would surrender. There was no fear of life and death. He felt that if he was caught, he would face life and death calmly.

Snap!

"Who! Who the hell is talking?"

The thin brush in Zhao Ji's hand was directly cut off. He jumped up from his chair in panic and looked around.

In just an instant, he was attracted by the gilded door that suddenly appeared in his mind. His consciousness sank, and all the contents of the trading system had sunk into his mind.
