One Piece of Song Dynasty
Chapter 749 The Battle of Taiyuan and Huacheng in the Northern Expedition (29)
Several of Li Xin's peace negotiation conditions are not harsh. The main difficulty is that the second one is bounded by the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. After all, Li Xin has not yet completely occupied the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. In Zhang Tonggu's view, several other conditions Jin Xizong should agree.
Li Xin reminded Zhang Tonggu: "Zhang Tongshi, among the several peace terms of my king, the second one is non-negotiable. In other words, the boundary between Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Huacheng County is my king's bottom line. It cannot be changed. If Dajin is unwilling to give up the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, then I will send someone to get it."
Zhang Tonggu said bitterly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will explain the conditions of Your Majesty's peace agreement to the Emperor one by one."
Li Xin continued: "Also, Ambassador Zhang, if the peace negotiation succeeds, two copies of the peace negotiation will be signed, one signed in the name of the Song Dynasty and the other signed in the name of the Tang Dynasty, and whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty. The capital will be located in Yanjing."
After hearing this, Zhang Tonggu was shocked and signed in the name of the Tang Dynasty, which meant that the Song Dynasty was about to become a thing of the past, and a new Tang Dynasty was about to stand tall in the Central Plains. Zhang Tonggu was a little lost and said: "Then I will I would like to congratulate the prince in advance, and I will bring your words to the emperor word for word."
Not only Zhang Tonggu was shocked, but also Zhao Ding and others. Li Xin did not inform them in advance about the new country's name, Datang. Today, it was the first time that Li Xin spoke out about the matter. In fact, Li Xin's country name was After thinking about "China, China, and Datang", and finally considering the deterrent effect on the surrounding barbarians, Li Xin chose Datang as the name of the country. Yes, the Tang Dynasty that once convinced people from all over the world is about to come back.
Li Xin continued: "Envoy Zhang Tong, this time I will ask Zhao Liangsi and Wang Lun to accompany you back. Zhao Liangsi will be the envoy of the Song Dynasty and Wang Lun will be the deputy envoy."
Zhang Tonggu bowed and said, "I understand."
After Zhang Tonggu left, Li Xin met Wang Lun alone. Wang Lun handed Li Xin the note given to him by Yu Wenxuzhong: "Your Majesty, this is what Lord Yuwen gave me when I was leaving."
Li Xin opened the note and looked at it and said: "Well, I understand. The first three items cannot be changed when we go back to negotiate this time, but the last three items can be negotiated. More bargaining sites can be set up. The maximum concession for prisoners of war is that five people can exchange one horse. Horses or oxen, if it is a horse, two people can only exchange one for one, and they cannot all be exchanged with horses. Horses can only account for % of all horses at most, and the same standard is used for horses exchanged with silk every year."
Wang Lun bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
After Wang Lun left, Zhao Yun hurried over: "Your Majesty, two secret letters, one of which is an urgent secret letter."
Li Xin opened the two secret letters and read them: "Well, one of them was from Huacheng County. General Liu won a great victory and captured the enemy commander Xiao Qing. The second letter was from Huacheng County. The news came from the two gentlemen, King Fan, that the Kingdom of Jin has sent an envoy to ask for help from the Kingdom of Xia, and promised the land of Ningbian Prefecture, Wuzhou, and Shuozhou to the Kingdom of Xia as a reward for sending troops. Go and give it to Huacheng Send a message to the county and ask them to send Xiao Qing, and then send a message to Lin'an to ask Princess Yu Liyan to come to Yanjing first."
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "I'll do it now."
Then Li Xin called Zhao Ding and other three people and said: "You three, the news just came that the Jin Kingdom has sent an envoy to ask for help from the Xia Kingdom, and promised the land of Ningbian Prefecture, Wu Prefecture, and Shuo Prefecture to Xia Guo used it as a reward for sending troops, what do you think about this matter?" After speaking, Li Xin handed the secret letter to the three of them.
Zhao Ding and the other three looked at each other after seeing it. Wang Shu first said: "Your Majesty, the Taiyuan side doesn't know the news yet. Feihu and Huailai are currently stepping up their attack. I'm afraid it will take some time to win. Otherwise, let's give up." Zhang Jun returns to increase his troops in Hedong and capture Hedong and Datong as soon as possible. As long as our army is fast enough, Xia will not be able to assist Jin in time."
Li Xin thought for a moment and shook his head: "It's better not to let Zhang Jun come back. The task of suppressing bandits in Hebei and the Central Plains is not light. Eliminating banditry is equally important to our post-war reconstruction and development."
Zhang Jun frowned and said: "Your Majesty, we can only increase our troops now. We are competing for time with the Xia Kingdom. We are not in a hurry to suppress the bandits at this moment. It will not be too late to suppress the bandits after we capture Hedong and Datong."
Li Xin thought for a while and said: "Let's see, Mr. Zhao, there is no fighting near Yanjing for the time being. We will transfer people from the vicinity of Yanjing, to Han Shizhong, and to Yue Fei, and order them to quickly break through Feihu and Huaihu." Come and advance towards Datong, and then inform them of the Jin Kingdom’s request for help from the Xia Kingdom, and ask Zhang Jun to suppress the bandits in Hebei first, so that if something happens to Hedong, reinforcements to Hedong can be facilitated.”
Zhao Ding bowed and said, "I obey your order."
On September th, just after dawn, the Jin Army infantry in Taiyuan City began to withdraw from the north of the city in an orderly manner. When they arrived at the city gate, Jin Wushu said: "Sa Lihe, I will leave all the cavalry to you. Here we are." You can withdraw when the sun is about to set in the afternoon."
Sa Li shouted and replied: "Marshal, don't worry, the cavalry will retreat very quickly. You go quickly. You don't have to wait for me after passing Shiling Pass. I will catch up with you very quickly."
Jin Wushu nodded and said, "Okay, let's withdraw first."
The actions of the Jin Army did not hide from the eyes of the Song Army scouts. The Song Army scouts quickly reported the situation to Qu Duan. After learning about the situation, Qu Duan immediately summoned the generals and said: "Everyone, the news I just received, Taiyuan The Jin army in the city has begun to withdraw northward through the north gate one after another."
Zhe Yanzhi said: "General Qu, since the Jin Army has withdrawn to the north, we should follow. We cannot let the Jin Army withdraw so easily."
Qu Duan nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I mean, I decided."
As soon as Qu Duan finished speaking, a soldier came in and reported: "Commander, the enemy cavalry has formed a formation outside the camp."
After hearing the news, Qu Duan came out of the camp, took a look, sighed and said, "The enemy cavalry is clearly covering the retreat of the infantry. As long as our army dares to leave the camp, the enemy cavalry will dare to shoot us."
Wang Yan said: "Commander Qu, you can let the artillery and crossbowmen cover the infantry out of camp and form formation."
Qu Duan asked: "Even if we leave the camp, can we still take the initiative to attack the cavalry? Doesn't it count as our army taking the initiative to attack? The enemy cavalry can completely ignore our army's attack and just hold us back, let alone the infantry." The price we have to pay for taking the initiative to attack the cavalry is too high and not worthwhile. Besides, Taiyuan is not the end of our army's trip. If today's battle is the last, then it is not impossible for me to give it a try. It's a pity. It is not."
Orihiko asked: "What is General Naqu planning to do? Just watch here."
Qu Duan sneered and said: "Of course you can't just watch. Deputy Commander Hu Yan, bring out all the bed crossbows of our army. How many can we kill before the enemy cavalry retreats? The bed crossbow has the longest range of our army at present." Weapons, I don’t believe the enemy cavalry can maintain their formation and not retreat.”
Hu Yantong cupped his fists and said, "Yes, I will make arrangements right now."
