One Piece of Song Dynasty

Zong Han smiled again and said: "I want to take two states. If I join you, the people who join Xijing will not be able to stay. In front of the mountain and behind the mountain is my old homeland. What's more, if you do anything to your homeland, you will be punished." Get some and save time."

Ma Kuo said: "The imperial court sent envoys from the sea. In a few years, the envoys returned and returned, and the people and horses were raised to meet the expenses of your dynasty. It was originally a reconciliation between the two dynasties. However, once the prime minister listens to the treacherous fight, he is looking for comrades. , and the people appointed by your dynasty are all old Khitan officials. As long as slander causes trouble, if there is no choice but to fight, everyone must suffer losses. In addition, the cities in Hedong and Hebei are strong, and the soldiers and civilians are accustomed to fighting. If there is haste, everyone will The city must be defended. No matter how easy it is to attack, it will only result in plundering some villagers' money. Even if you gain something, it will benefit the soldiers. If you lose something, it will harm the country. And killing a southerner is equal to revenge against the Khitan. , Killing a Jurchen is also an act of revenge against the Khitan. Now that your dynasty has wiped out the Khitan, you will also get the gold coins of the Southern Dynasty, and you can stop your troops early and enjoy peace. This is not the best policy. How can it be easier to say that the war will be extended for a long time and you will be ordered to do so? I dare not fail to offer my utmost loyalty to the two dynasties and ask the country to think deeply about it."

Zong Han said: "You are right, but your Nan family's talk is often empty. Your envoy will resign now. I will send an envoy to the Xuanfu Division to discuss important matters."

The next day, Ma Kuo saw that there were "good offerings" in the post house and felt something was not right. Samu, who was in charge of receiving the Song envoy, smiled and said to Ma Kuo: "I'll wait until the envoy comes back." He seemed to be hinting to Ma Kuo that the Jin army had decided to go south.

It was already December st when Ma Kuo returned to Taiyuan from the clouds. He hurriedly reported to Tong Guan what he had experienced and his conversations with Zong Han.

Tong Guan was shocked when he saw it: "The middle school of Jinren Kingdom has been decided. There are some little people around. How dare you do so many big things?"

Ma Kuo said: "I came back from Yunzhong last year and reported this matter to the king. I advised the king to divide into three groups and select troops to form separate unified groups to suppress the ever-victorious army. I knew this. When I was in Qiu County, , I once analyzed the matter of the Jin people's capture of Emperor Tianzuo to the king; in Baozhou, I wrote a report to the king, please prepare the border quickly; in the capital, I also advised the king to send troops to suppress the border and make plans. Delivery. I predict that this thief deeply regrets Zhang Jue and is inspired by the Khitan ministers who have subjugated the country. Unforeseen changes will occur, and the king does not believe it. I think the current situation is critical, and the Jin people will take advantage of my unpreparedness and take advantage of it. If you come in, your Majesty must build a dike urgently."

Tong Guan said: "Since I got your letter from Ru Yue Village, I immediately gave orders to Taiyuan, Zhending, Zhongshan, Hejian, and Yanshan Fulu, telling them to plan their respective responses and manage their respective defense areas. I also ordered Pharmacist Guo to arrange platoons Organize troops and horses, leave the city and go to the village. Now, the Taiyuan Prefecture Road official army, plus the militiamen such as the Yiyong, Bingyong, and Yisheng Army, must total tens of thousands of people. I have ordered the brave men and horses to go to the border. I also ordered Li Siben to Near the city of Daizhou, we inspected the stronghold where troops were stationed. Yesterday, Li Siben even dragged Yao Bing. Perhaps Zong Han had heard of such a momentum and did not come in easily."

The next day, a report suddenly came from the Daizhou border gate that the Marshal's Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin sent envoys Salu Thu and Wang Jieru to visit. The Xuanfu Department then arranged for Zhu Yantong and Ma Kuo to serve as companions for the reception.

Saluxun and Wang Jieru came to Taiyuan and first handed a letter from Zong Han to Tong Guan. The letter said: "Deputy Marshal Zuo of Gu Lun Ni Yi Laqibele of the Great Jin Dynasty wrote to His Excellency the Prince of Xuanfu County of the Great Song Dynasty: Since the letter has been received and the envoy's voice has been restored, and the sincerity of the knot has not been fulfilled, it is difficult to avoid serious and troublesome discussions. The reason for leading the troops to go has been stated in the farewell letter. Moreover, if the affairs of the two dynasties do not tolerate each other, they will have to go to war. . If this is the case, not only will the crisis become worse, but also for fear that the lives of the people will be wasted. It is necessary to send people to repay the favor. This is because the prince of Xuanfu County made a peace treaty, and the contract is the oldest. Kuang Chengcheng wrote, If it is said that there is more to discuss, it must be accommodated and discussed. The king of Xuanfu County in Fu Nian has made a contribution to the establishment and is promoted by his position. It must be said that he will fall into trouble if he talks with others. If he fights with him and hurts the people, it is better to be like Ruo Ruo. If you can do this, your country will not only enjoy security for a long time, but also gain two benefits, solid happiness and harmony. Then, the prince of the county will be loyal and filial, and he will always protect the wealth, and the people will rely on his kindness and serve the world. I'm so lucky. Isn't it wonderful that on the day when the Khitan asked for peace, the imperial court restricted the Liao Dynasty to the Liao Dynasty, but did not obey it until today. What I hope to do is to draw lessons from the past, review the situation, and send officials to make a decision. The law is strict and strict. , What a blessing it is to stand still. I have sent Wang Jieru and Beile Seyimei, direct bachelors of Zhaowenguan, to write a letter to describe it, but I will not announce it."

After reading the letter, Tong Guan said: "Things between the two major countries must be discussed. Why is this happening?"

Salushu said: "The army and horses have risen, there is nothing else to discuss."

Wang Jieru said: "If we are in a hurry, we can discuss it, but we just need to make some calculations."

Tong Guan said: "My companions are going to talk to you soon. If I have something to do, I'll just give you a message. That's enough."

Salu Hu and Wang Jieru left Xuanfu Division and returned to the post house not long after Zhu Yantong and Ma Kuo arrived. Zhu Yantong asked: "Zong Hanguo's prime minister kept saying to raise troops, what does he mean?"

Salushu replied: "The troops have risen, there is no need to discuss. The Marshal and the Prime Minister's army will enter from Hedong Road, and the Second Prince's army and horse will enter from Yanjing Road. They are not allowed to kill the people. They are just spreading the message to appease the people."

Zhu Yantong asked: "The two dynasties have agreed on many things, but now they are launching troops without even saying hello. How is it?"

Wang Jieru replied: "This is only because your dynasty is unreasonable."

Ma Kuo said: "Soldiers are deadly weapons, and Heaven hates them. Your dynasty has swallowed up many lands of Khitan, and it is only through the power of this dynasty that you can completely destroy them. Now, if you ignore the good oaths of the previous contract, you will raise your troops first, but Plunder some small households nearby. The Song Dynasty is a big country with a vast world and powerful military and civilians. If the court realizes this and makes some changes, how can you be so close? You just don't know when the war will start in the future."

Saluxu said: "If the Marshal and the Prime Minister are afraid of your power, they will not dare to come in. Now that the letter is coming, Chengxuan must also see it."

Wang Jieru sneered and said: "That's what happened. I have made a serious declaration here in Doukou. If I can persuade King Tong to go to the petition urgently, I will only cede the land east of Hebei and east of Hebei. With the Yellow River as the boundary, I can access the temple and state affairs of the Song Dynasty. However, You can serve your country."

Ma Kuo shook his head and said: "This is not easy to talk about. It seems that your dynasty listens to the crazy words, but treats this dynasty as a ruined Khitan, but I am afraid that it will bring disaster on itself in the future."

Salusu smiled slightly, with a look of contentment on his face. Zhu Yantong and Ma Kuo saw that they could no longer talk, so they left the post house and returned to the Xuanfu Division, where they made a detailed report to Tong Guan.

Tong Guan was so shocked that he immediately ordered Zhu Yantong and Ma Kuo to "make a confession and prepare it all night." Then, Tong Guan, his staff Yu Wenxuzhong, Jiyi Fanne, Wang Yun, Zhu Yantong, etc. held an emergency meeting to discuss, planning to leave Taiyuan immediately and "go to Que for discussion." l0ns3v3
