Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Ren Dejing hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty thinks that Xiangguo can tell His Majesty first that General Fei Ting has won a great victory and cut off the Song Army's retreat. As long as you say this, Your Majesty will have no worries!"

"This is bullying!"

"Xiangguo, didn't you say that General Fei Ting has a [-]% chance of winning?"

Wei Ming Anhui was stunned for a moment, and also fell into deep thought.

Li Qianshun hesitated, and it was impossible for the army to fight the Song army for a long time. This was undoubtedly the time for the Song army to prepare.

What Ren Dejing said was not unreasonable, since he was sure that Fei Tingrongju would definitely be able to capture Mizhi Village, why not tell Li Ganshun in advance?

This undoubtedly made Li Qianshun no worries.

But what if Fei Tingrongju didn't win?

This thought just flashed through Wei Ming Anhui's mind.

Because he absolutely did not believe that Fei Tingrongju would be defeated.

On May [-]th, Li Qianshun, who had just woken up and had breakfast, received a letter from Brother Li Cha from Xingqing Mansion.

Brother Li Cha reported the situation on the western front. Li Yanxian's troops on the western front have already withdrawn from Xixia one after another.

This made Li Qianshun heave a sigh of relief.

At this time, Wei Ming Anhui and Ren Dejing both came.

"Your Majesty! Good news!"

"What good news?" Li Qianshun asked.

"General Fei Ting captured Mizhi Village!"

As soon as Wei Ming Anhui said this, Li Qianshun was startled, and suddenly he was overjoyed: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true! The urgent report just came back from the front line!"

Wei Ming An Hui hurriedly handed over the forged military newspaper last night.

After reading it, Li Qianshun walked back and forth excitedly: "Okay! Okay! Now that Mizhi Village has been taken back by our army, and the Song army's food road in Yinzhou has been completely cut off, our army will undoubtedly win!"

"Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief of the Yinzhou Song Army should have received the news of the battle at Mizhizhai. At this time, the morale of the Song Army will inevitably be damaged. It is better to go all out and march eastward. This is a great time to retake Yinzhou."

Li Qianshun fell silent.

"Your Majesty! Don't miss this opportunity. General Fei Ting has already won the victory. If we don't move, the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies will be chilled!" Wei Ming Anhui said.

Ren Dejing also said: "Your Majesty, I have already said that there are many internal conflicts in the Song Army. The battle on Xihe Road was entirely due to the good luck of the Song Army!"

Li Qianshun said: "The two gentlemen are right. I was too worried before."

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Your Majesty! There is an urgent military situation!"

"Enter!"

The person outside held a box in his hand and walked in with an ugly expression: "Your Majesty! This is something just sent by the envoy Song. He said that His Majesty must have a look at it himself."

"What is this?" Li Qianshun asked curiously.

Wei Ming Anhui said: "Don't fall into the tricks of the people of Song Dynasty, this thing must be poisonous, and I can already faintly smell the smell of blood."

Li Ganshun took two steps back and ordered the soldiers to come over and open the box.

After the soldier opened the box, there was a human head lying inside!

This head does not belong to anyone else, it is the head of Fei Tingrongju who was praised for capturing Mizhi Village just now.

The scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, Wei Ming Anhui and Ren Dejing's complexions were as pale as paper.

Li Qianshun tilted his body and almost fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" King Shu Li Renli hurried over to support Li Qianshun.

"This... this is..." Li Qianshun's voice was trembling.

His eyes were puzzled, shocked and frightened, mixed together, responsible and helpless.

"What is this?" He struggled to utter a word.

King Shu Li Renli said: "Your Majesty, this is the head of General Fei Ting."

Li Ganshun's murderous gaze fell on Weiming An Hui and Ren Dejing, who knelt on the ground in fright: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"Come here, arrest these two people and put them in the capital prison!"

"Your Majesty! It was Ren Dejing who asked his ministers to make such a bad move!"

Ren Dejing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am wronged, and I don't know about it at all..."

"Shut up! Drag it on!"

At noon on May [-], a letter of surrender was delivered to Liu Kai's desk.

On May [-], news of Lord Xia's surrender was sent to Jingzhao Mansion in a hurry.

On May 23, Lord Xia's letter of surrender was placed on Zhao Ning's desk.

In the early morning of May 24, Prime Minister Zhao Ding set off from Tokyo and secretly rushed to Yinzhou.

On May 25, Brother Li Cha arrived in Shizhou.

Negotiations between the two sides have entered a critical moment.

The international situation has undergone tremendous changes during the five years of Jingkang.

Chapter 395 Song Xia Negotiations (Third Change)

Zhao Ding traveled night and day and arrived in Yinzhou on the first day of June.

But during the time when Zhao Ding was on his way, the Song army in Yinzhou never stopped.

Song army scouts sneaked into Shizhou in large numbers, and several small troops even clashed with Xia army in the nearby mountains.

Song Jun's actions undoubtedly made Li Qianshun restless, which was a sign of a big war.

Li Qianshun was also forced to send someone to meet Song Jun's provocation. He couldn't let Song Jun see that he didn't dare to fight back, which would encourage Song Jun's arrogance.

On the bright side, the two sides have maintained a surprisingly unanimous agreement: the provocations continue, and the war dare not!

This is not only the case on the surface, but the speed of internal actions of both parties in private is astonishingly consistent.

Brother Li Cha, a pro-Song faction, arrived in Shizhou, and brought Sun Fu along with him, and put Sun Fu back to the Song army camp.

In the face of Brother Li Cha's letters, Liu Qi also politely replied to Brother Li Cha many times.

But this does not prevent the small-scale confrontation between the two sides.

Until Zhao Ding quickly arrived in Yinzhou.

Zhao Ding's identity is top secret, few people know.

On this day, Zhao Ding, Liu Qi and Sun Fu were all present.

"Mr. Zhao, why did you come to Yinzhou?" Sun Fu was shocked.

It is not unheard of for the prime minister to come to the front line in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Did Kou Zhun go to Chanzhou not long ago?

But that time, the emperor also went, and the support was about to collapse.

But this time it was different, so Sun Fu couldn't figure it out.

"I have come here to discuss peace with the Xixia people according to His Majesty's secret decree."

When Sun Fu heard this, he jumped up immediately and said, "Great Minister, the Western Thieves are despicable and shameless, how can we rashly negotiate a peace."

"That's what Your Majesty meant."

"Your Majesty is confused! Now that we have occupied Yinzhou, as long as we continue to increase our troops, we will definitely be able to take Hengshan!" Sun Fu suddenly said proudly.

Zhao Ding smiled wryly.

He has long heard that once Sun Fu talks about military affairs, you just have to go against him, that's absolutely true.

Liu Kai also said: "Master, what is your majesty's intention? Some time ago, the official also received your majesty's order, saying that he would fight to the death with the western thieves."

"Your Majesty has His Majesty's plans, and His Majesty's concerns are beyond our reach."

"What the hell is that? If you don't give a reason to persuade Sun, you will go back to Beijing to face the saint, and you have to ask clearly if you risk your life!" Sun Fu said.

"To tell you the truth, His Majesty wants to force Xixia to agree to use the banknotes of the Great Song Dynasty. As long as Xixia is willing to use the banknotes, His Majesty can let go of the past and promise Xia to discuss peace."

"Pay money?" Sun Fu and Liu Qi looked at each other.

Zhao Ding talked about the idea of ​​handing over banknotes, and after listening, both of them fell into silence.

After a while, Sun Fu said with emotion: "If, I mean, if the Xixia people really agree to use the handover, it will undoubtedly solve a big problem for Da Song."

"This matter is a secret for the time being. If the time is not up, don't leak it at will."

On the second day of June, early in the morning, Sun Fu led people to Shizhou and met Li Qianshun.

Sun Fu has been in Xixia for the past few years, and he has become acquainted with these people in Xixia a lot. When talking, he directly saves unnecessary trouble.

"Lord Xia, the Son of Heaven is benevolent, and he does not want to see the people of the two countries suffer, so he agrees to negotiate."

Brother Li Cha said: "Then when will the Song Army retreat?"

"retreat?"

"Exit Yinzhou."

"Exiting Yinzhou is impossible."

"But Yinzhou is the territory of my Great Xia Kingdom, and my Emperor Taizu of Great Xia was born in Yinzhou."

Sun Fu said: "Yinzhou has been a Han land since ancient times. When Emperor Taizong gave the five states of Hengshan to your ancestors, it was not enfeoffment. It belonged to the imperial court."

"Is there no need to talk about returning Yinzhou?"

"No talk."

The two sides did not negotiate.

After Sun Fu left, Li Qianshun said angrily, "I have already written a letter of surrender to Zhao Guan's family, what else does he want?"

Brother Li Cha said: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for Song Jun to spit out the meat in his mouth."

"What now?"

Shu Wang Li Renli said: "It's better to ask Jin Guo to come forward and let Jin Guo put pressure on Song Guo."

Li Qianshun said: "This is a good idea."

Brother Li Cha said: "What if the wolf is lured into the house?"

"What does King Jin mean?"

"I mean, if the Kingdom of Jin realizes that we have suffered setbacks and our national strength is exhausted, will they find an excuse to send troops to the Song Dynasty while sending troops to us in the name of supporting us? If so, how can we refuse then?"

Brother Li Cha talked about Li Qianshun's heart in a few words.

"Back then, the Liao Kingdom came forward to mediate the dispute between Song and Xia." Li Qianshun said.

This incident was also during the reign of Li Ganshun. At that time, the Song Dynasty completely seized Hengshan, and the army pressed in, preparing to destroy Xixia directly.

The Liao Kingdom stood up at the critical moment.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Jin is not the Kingdom of Liao." Brother Li Cha immediately dispelled his illusions, "Furthermore, the Liao Kingdom did not say that the Kingdom of Song should return Hengshan after mediation. This is impossible."

This immediately made the cautious Li Ganshun fall into deep thought.

Next, under Sun Fu's further communication, the two parties agreed to set up a negotiation site between Shizhou and Yinzhou on the sixth day of June for negotiations.

On the sixth day of June, the armies of both sides set up military formations nearby.

In the center of the field, a table case was set up, with the flags of both sides behind each other.

Negotiators from both sides also entered the venue one after another.

Including Zhao Ding.

But at the scene, not many people knew Zhao Ding's identity.

Zhao Ning would not let them know Zhao Ding's identity.
