Chapter 468
Liu Qi was not qualified to approach Kublai Khan's army. He did not know the specific content and could only relay Yang You's words.
After Zhao Tai listened, he learned several things.
Shi Songzhi wanted to negotiate peace with the Mongolian army, but he did not want to negotiate with Kublai Khan, but with Wokuotai.
Secondly, Kublai Khan sent someone to follow Shi Songzhi's envoy down the mountain, and then went to Kaibao to see Ogedai.
In the end, Shi Songzhi's condition was that Mongolia promised not to invade the Southern Song Dynasty again and returned the three capitals, while the Song army would cross the river as a courtesy to Kublai Khan of the Song Dynasty.

Although Shi Songzhi's conditions for peace were relatively low-key, Zhao Tai was still very angry.
The peace agreement is just a piece of paper. If you want Mongolia to stop its southward invasion, the best plan is to destroy Kublai Khan and the 30,000 Mongolian troops, so that Mongolia will be injured and unable to invade southward.
If we let them go, once they regain their strength, Mongolia will tear up whatever they signed before and head south brazenly.
After hearing this, Zhao Tai walked a few steps inside the tent and exhaled heavily, "You go down and have a rest first. If you go back to the mountain now, if you are caught by the Mongolian army, the deep sea will be in danger. So be it! Zhao Hu, please give me a rest."
He arranged to make a small flag in Jinyiwei."
Zhao Hu nodded and said to Liu Qi: "Thank you soon, Your Majesty!"
Jinyiwei is Zhao Tai's personal army. If you can join as a small soldier, you will have a bright future in the future, let alone starting with a small flag.
However, the information sent by Liu Qi was very important. It reminded Zhao Tai and made Zhao Tai break his illusion. Giving a general flag was actually not too much.
Liu Qi quickly knelt down and thanked him, "I would like to thank you for your help."
Zhao Tai immediately waved his hand to excuse him, and then ordered Zhao Hu, "Send someone to inform Lu Wende and send ships to patrol the Huaihe River to see if they can stop Shi Songzhi's envoy. In addition, when the general's division is summoned, Gu wants to discuss with him
.”
Zhao Hu clasped his fists to accept the order, and then led Liu Qi out of the tent.
Zhao Tai sat down again and couldn't help but think about it and get angrier. Since he became the county king, he has always paid attention to his self-cultivation, but today his guard was broken, "Damn, that guy Kublai Khan would wake up laughing even in his dreams!"
The Mongolian army was surrounded in Hengjian Mountain, and the overall situation for the Song army was decided. Logically speaking, Wang Bin should go to bed early, but this Qi army think tank was reading a book by a dim oil lamp. The cover page read "Edited by Jin Tuoyang"
"Four big characters.
"Commander, are you asleep?" the soldier outside the tent suddenly called.
Wang Bin raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Military advisor, your Majesty has invited you!" the soldier whispered.
Wang Bin closed the book and said casually: "I'll be there later!"
Not long after, Wang Bin opened the curtain and entered the tent, and saw Zhao Tai sitting restlessly and talking to himself.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Wang Bin shook his feather fan with a smile on his face.
When Zhao Tai saw Wang Bin arriving, he came over and pulled him to his seat. He said angrily: "The military advisor didn't know something. Gu Gang got the news, and Shi Songzhi secretly sent an envoy to see Kublai Khan, intending to make peace with Mongolia!"
General Zhao Tai told Wang Bin what Liu Qi had said, but when he saw Wang Bin's calm expression, he couldn't help but frown, "Does the military advisor know about this?"
Wang Bin waved his fan to show off, "I expected this!"
Zhao Tai raised his eyebrows and asked, "The military advisor had already expected that Shi Songzhi would seek peace?"
Wang Bin shook his head, "I only expected that the Southern Song Dynasty court would seek peace, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Zhao Tai pondered for a while and carefully considered Wang Bin's meaning, "Are you saying that even if Shi Songzhi does not seek peace, there will be others in the Southern Song Dynasty court who will seek peace? In other words, the Southern Song Dynasty will definitely seek peace!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Bin showed a pleased expression, "Your Majesty, please don't forget about Yue Wumu. In the past, Yue Wumu's Northern Expedition and the capture of the Central Plains were just around the corner, but Emperor Gaozong recalled him with several gold medals. Then why did Shi Songzhi just
When they arrived at Hengjian Mountain, they sent out troops to attack Chuzhou. They achieved two great victories in Chuzhou and achieved great success. If
If the king is allowed to win the victory over Kublai Khan, some people in Lin'an will not be able to sleep. Therefore, I was actually happy to see the Chu soldiers taking the credit, but it was a pity that they were not strong enough and failed. Now Shi Song might as well secretly sue for peace.
I understand, seeing that he could not defeat Kublai Khan, he simply sued for peace and let Kublai Khan go without letting the king get full credit."
Zhao Tai narrowed his eyes, "From what the military advisor said, the imperial court's old habit is coming back again. So, if Shi Songzhi proposes a peace, Lin'an will most likely agree to the peace!"
Wang Bin nodded and glanced at Zhao Tai, "If a peace is really reached, the next step for the imperial court will probably be to deprive the king of his military power."
Zhao Tai got up and walked around, stopped for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "How does the military advisor think Gu should deal with it?"
Wang Bin said: "In the past, the Southern Song Dynasty had to rely heavily on military officials to fight against the Jin Kingdom. However, after the Southern Song Dynasty turned crisis, Emperor Gaozong began to be afraid of military officials again. With the help of Qin Hui, he frequently attacked military generals. At that time, the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Guangshi, neglected military affairs.
He had no intention of recovering, so he gave up his military power due to illness. Zhang Jun invited himself to Lin'an and attached himself to Qin Hui. The Wu family
The brothers respected themselves and separatized Sichuan and did not go to Lin'an. Liu Shiguang and Zhang Jun were spared death because they did not have military power. The Wu brothers did not leave Sichuan easily and did not give Gaozong a chance. Han Shizhong had few soldiers and was about to be killed, but Yue
Wu Mu spoke for him, and he went to Gaozong and cried out that Miao and Liu had saved him from the mutiny, but in the end only Yue Wumu was killed!"
When Wang Bin said this, he looked at Zhao Tai, waved his fan and asked, "Who does the king want to be?"
Zhao Tai stroked his beard and pondered for a while. None of the choices made by the Southern Song generals were to his liking.
Yue Fei is a hero, but one such hero in Chinese history is already unfortunate, and the second one will be completely miserable.
Grandpa Yue is admired by thousands of people, but his experience itself is a tragedy. Zhao Tai does not want such a tragedy to happen to him.
He was afraid that future generations would be heartbroken when they read history, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be Yue Fei and be killed on unfounded charges.
Like Liu Shiguang and Zhang Jun, Zhao Tai would not give up military power, show weakness, or curry favor with treacherous ministers.
The Wu brothers divided themselves into one party, which was too conservative.
Zhao Tai squinted his eyes, and a word appeared in his mind: "Qing Jun is on his side, Jing Guo is in trouble."
If the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty thought of himself as Yue Fei, then the Southern Song Dynasty court would be basically hopeless. Zhao Tai could only use Zhu Di's script "Fengtian Jingnan"!
However, Wang Bin said that there was no such choice. Zhao Tai thought for a while and said with firm eyes: "I am dedicated to the country. If the court really wants to do Yue Wumu's thing again, it means that there are treacherous officials in the court. I can only do Liu Bi."
All the treacherous ministers and treacherous ministers have turned against the emperor. Of course he is not Liu Bi. For the sake of the country, he will definitely succeed!"
Wang Bin stopped swinging the fan in his hand and showed his aunt's smile. Zhao Tai's words today foreshadowed Zhao Tai's goal in the future. In addition to resisting the Mongols, he also wanted to seize the throne.
This is a happy thing for Wang Bin and the northern Han group surrounding Zhao Tai, and it gives them a clear goal.
According to Wang Bin's prediction, the Southern Song Dynasty court will definitely force Zhao Tai to side with the Qing emperor, and the rebellion group that Wang Bin has been waiting for is about to be born.
"The Southern Song Dynasty has accumulated shortcomings for a long time. If we don't reform the old shortcomings, we will never have the intention to recover, and it will be difficult to be the master of China." At this point, Wang Bin stood up and saluted, and solemnly said: "I believe that the Song Dynasty needs to change, and those who have the ability to change must be the king.
!Although I am not talented, I would like to wish the king great success!"
