Chapter 460 Defeat without defeat

"Beidi violently attacks Wuguan. Will the Dou family's troops be unable to sustain it?"

This day. ReadМ

Zhao Heng was walking in the courtyard with Xiao Shishi.

No longer facing the worry of life and death, the two became inseparable again.

The unhappiness in Xiancheng disappeared.

But the urgent battle report sent from Wuguan made Zhao Heng feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

If Wuguan is broken, the Beidi army will march straight in and conquer Jingzhou.

Where is this Jingzhou?

Dasong is the thoroughfare of Jiuzhou. As long as they occupy this place, Beidi soldiers and horses will penetrate into the heart of Dasong.

After all, even Ningzhou and Jingzhou, where Jinling is located, are only separated by Fengzhou.

"Immediately, send troops to Wuguan immediately!" Zhao Heng shouted.

Zhao Xu frowned slightly, it was the Dou family's cavalry who came to send military information.

After hearing the news, he sent the Dou family's cavalry over and followed him.

"Father, there is no need to panic. This is just Mulehong's real trick. Its purpose is to bargain with Da Song." Zhao Xu said slowly.

Mullahon's real move was indeed beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that Mule Hongzhen would lead his troops back to aid Ningjin Dusi.

At the same time, envoys were sent to take the soldiers and horses of Xiancheng as hostages and exchange Ulanba with him.

This time the battle started 50-50, then it slowed down for a while and then continued with the next battle.

Unexpectedly, Mu Lehongzhen learned his method of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao" this time and attacked Wuguan.

The first was to intimidate Da Song, and the second was to force him to withdraw his troops from Ningjindusi and return to Wuguan to aid.

In this matter, it can be seen that Beidi Khan is indeed resourceful.

If he hadn't been unlucky enough to meet him, any idea Mulehon had to go south would have cost Da Song his life.

"How can we not panic? After Beidi passes Wuguan, we can go to Jinling City to plunder." Zhao Heng turned around anxiously, and was completely panicked again just like when he was in Xiancheng.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Heng and sighed in his heart.

His father-in-law was clever, but he really didn't have the talent and strategy that an emperor should have. Once he was frustrated, he completely lost his idea.

Not as good as the county magistrate under his command.

He was about to explain to Zhao Heng when another cavalryman arrived and presented a battle report, "Your Highness, another royal tent has entered Ningjin Dusi. Currently, Ningjin Dusi has three royal tents."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng sighed again, "King Yan, your strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao is completely useless. You only have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the three kings' tents. How to deal with it? It's better to withdraw and go to Wuguan."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little angry. If Zhao Heng wasn't Emperor Dasong, he really wanted to scold him.

But he is the emperor, so he cannot be beaten or scolded. The key is that he is still like a pig teammate who always wants to do something cool and nags in his ear.

"Father, Mule Hong really doesn't dare to enter Jingzhou. Isn't he afraid that his son will take the opportunity to leave Qinguan and cut off his way back to the grassland?" Zhao Xu continued, "The purpose of his arrangement this time is to let We feel that we have failed and are still at a disadvantage, but this is actually a bluff.”

Finally, he said with certainty: "If Muller Hongzhen really wants to capture Jingzhou, he will definitely occupy Qinzhou first, manage it, and then go south when everything is ready."

In the battle of Xiancheng, Zhao Heng had been beaten to fear by Beidi.

He saw that Beidi's power was not inferior to that of the Dasong Forbidden Army's artillery.

I also saw Beidi’s invincible cavalry.

He said: "Beidi now has artillery, which is even more powerful. How can your mere 100,000 troops block their way back to the grassland? Furthermore, your words are all speculation. What is Mulehong really thinking? How could you possibly Know?"

As if recalling something, he said: "Mulehun is really a madman. In order to win, he can do anything. He must not be taken lightly."

After that, he once again urged Zhao Xu to bring back his troops and rush to reinforce Wuguan.

At this moment, another cavalryman came to report.

"Your Majesty, the son of Muller Hongzhen arrived at Qinguan City and asked to see the Emperor to negotiate peace with Dasong." The cavalryman said.

"What!" Zhao Heng was startled when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.

The cavalry continued, "Tiemuta also said that as long as the peace negotiation is successful, Beidi and Dasong will turn their feud into friendship and stop raising troops to invade southward."

"We are also willing to betroth a Beidi princess to Prince Dasong to show our sincerity. We also hope that Dasong may be betrothed to their Prince Ulanba with a princess, so that the two families will have a truce."

"But they said that the specific matters need to be discussed in detail with the emperor in Qinguan."

For a moment, Zhao Heng seemed to be immersed in a beautiful dream.

His heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

A truce with Beidi was what most ministers in the Dasong court dreamed of, including him.

If it weren't for Beidi's unwillingness to negotiate peace, he would attack Dasong repeatedly.

There is no place for Yang Feng and other leaders in the court.

Moreover, facing life and death in Xiancheng this time made him feel that spending the rest of his life in wealth and stability was more important than anything else.

He wants to negotiate a peace, even in his dreams he wants to negotiate a peace.

He really didn't want to fight. Dasong's imperial army was getting smaller and smaller, and the treasury was becoming more and more empty.

Even if this peace negotiation can last for a year or two, it would be better to let him rest.

It is much better than the continuous attacks during this period.

Furthermore, what if Beidi is real this time?

In this way, after he returns to Aurous Hill, he can truly live a carefree life as an emperor.

"Father, no matter what the outcome of the peace negotiation is, I do not want to be used as a bargaining chip."

Zhao Heng's almost fanatical eyes were caught by Zhao Xu, and he knew that no matter what he said, nothing could stop the Emperor Dasong.

He finally understood Mulehon's true intentions.

The fight against Wuguan was not for him, King Yan, but for Zhao Heng and the powerful clan of Dasong.

After all, the authority of Dasong is still in the hands of these people.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt sick.

I finally understand the war between the Qing Dynasty and France in the late Qing Dynasty. Although they clearly defeated France, they had to cede territory and pay compensation in the end.

What is the reason?

It is because the interests of the powerful people in the Qing court are actually inconsistent with the interests of the people at the bottom.

What the people want is to defend the country and expel the Tartars.

The powerful want peace and continue their luxurious lives.

Even considering China's material resources, it will not hesitate to bring happiness to the country.

Dasong obviously has this situation at the moment.

Zhao Heng and the powerful clan were afraid of Beidi, but they were brave enough to fight among themselves.

As long as the enemies in the north don't make trouble, what does it matter if they are servile?

Internally, they remain superior.

It is better than being defeated by Beidi and becoming prisoners.

However, after recognizing this problem, he was extremely disappointed.

But he also decided to clarify his bottom line even if he offended Zhao Heng.

He doesn't care what Zhao Heng goes to Qinguan to discuss with Beidi.

But he must not betray his interests or the interests of Yanzhou.

They wanted to live on their knees, but he, he and the people of King Yan had straight knees.

He knew that Zhao Heng would be unhappy if he spoke so recklessly.

But he no longer cares.

He also saved face for Zhao Heng, just because of the existence of this emperor, Da Song could temporarily maintain stability.

Moreover, Zhao Heng needed him now, so even if he was a little unhappy, he had to endure it.

Sure enough, Zhao Heng's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

But he quickly regained his composure, "King Yan has overthought things, I have my own sense of discretion."
