Come to Song Dynasty with the system

Chapter 581 Zhang Jian enters Bianliang

With countless resentments, the two still had the last sliver of hope, which was to catch up with Su Shi, and attack Su Shi severely on both sides with the Liao army in Shenshan City.

If Su Shi can be taken down next, it will be regarded as making up for their mistakes, and they still have a chance.

They came all the way in a hurry, until they arrived at Songziling and saw the Liao army guarding the mountain road in front of them, waiting in full force. Only then did they know that the Su family army had never been here at all.

Su Shi didn't come east?

This answer once again surprised Xiao Ying and the two of them.They quickly sent a large number of scouts to search around, especially the north, which was the direction they were most worried about.

They were worried that Su Shi's army would go north first and threaten the safety of Beijing in the east.

Fortunately, the scouts quickly sent back the news that Su Shi's army did not go north, but probably went south along the Luan River.

"Send all the scouts to look for it, and we must confirm the whereabouts of the Su family army."

Knowing that Su Shi did not go north, Xiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief.But he didn't dare to relax too much, Su Shi gave him the feeling that he was too cunning, no one knew if this was his trick.

But in their hearts they hope it's true.

As long as Su Shi doesn't threaten Zhongjing, they will still be saved, at worst, spend more money to bribe some people to speak for them.

Su Shi did choose to go south this time.

In other words, this is not the first time Su Shi has come to Luanhe City.

Su Shi had been here before when he entered Liao last time, but this time he seems to be familiar with the road.

The army did not take any detours, and came all the way south smoothly, and suddenly appeared outside Luanhe City in mid-October.

Only this time, Luanhe City received Feige's message first, and closed the gate one step earlier.

The Liao army in the city stood on the tower, watching the Su family army disappear along the city.

It was finally confirmed that Su Shi's army had appeared in Luanhe City. While Xiao Ying and Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, they once again wrote a memorandum, proposing peace talks with Song.

Don't talk about it.

Now many Liao troops are talking about Su's discoloration.

If you are timid before fighting, pointing at such an army, it is impossible to injure Su Shi, seriously injure Su Shi, or capture Su Shi.

At the same time as writing the memorandum, Xiao Shan and Zhang Jian jointly ordered that all Liao army cities south of Luanhe City be closed behind closed doors for defense, and they were not allowed to fight with the Su family army, and they were allowed to wander here. If they can withdraw to the Song Dynasty, That's the best outcome.

Seeing that the gate of Luanhe City was closed tightly, Su Shi had no choice but to order the army to continue going south, and followed him to the vicinity of Zunhua, the capital of Jingzhou.

Here too, the city gates are closed, and the towers are full of soldiers from the Liao army. Just watching the Su family army come to the city, they neither come out to attack nor open the city gates, preparing for a battle.

"Young commander, why don't you attack the city?" Hu Tongtian, the captain of the Second Black Cavalry Brigade, said anxiously.

He didn't like the feeling of hitting a wall everywhere.

"No." Su Shi shook his head.

Siege means reckless fighting. Although Su Shi is confident of winning Zunhua, what's next?

Do you have to attack hard every time you encounter a city? In this case, how many of the [-] elite men can survive?

"Go to Shimen Town."

Zunhua has a city defense, which is not so easy to attack, but Shimen Town to the south is different.

There is no city wall, so it is not easy to defend.

In Shimen Town, Su Shi had also been here before, and killed three thousand elite Liao cavalry here.

When I came here again, I found that things had already changed.

There wasn't even a single person in the town to be seen, they probably got the news in advance and fled away.

Ordinarily, a town with no people and no supplies would be useless to an army of [-].

But in Su Shi's eyes, there is a lot to do.

It was the end of October and the weather was getting colder and colder.

Although Su Shi's army has cotton clothes to protect them, it doesn't mean they don't know the cold.A shelter from the wind and rain is urgently needed now.

Along the way, what you can meet are either cities with closed gates, or Liao army scouts watching from afar.Su Shi has already discovered that these Liao people did not bother them, or meant to fight them.

Even if the Liao army didn't want to make trouble, and the city gates were closed, it would be very difficult for Su Shi to find a fighter, so it's better to take a good rest first.

Shimen Town is Su Shi's choice of resting place.

All the eagle scouts were sent out, hundreds of miles away, in order to prevent the Liao army from encircling them while they were resting.

Although it is said that the current Liao army is afraid of being beaten by them, the possibility of this is very low, but it still exists.

When the outer area was safe, the Su family army entered Shimen Town, and Su Shi took out a large number of items and distributed them to every soldier.

As for how these things appeared, no one asks, anyway, they can be used if they are useful, and everyone has long been used to this.

In this way, amidst the siege of several cities in the Liao Kingdom, Su Shi started Maodong in such a comfortable way. This result is probably something that many people dare not even think about.

However, Su Shi used his own strength to achieve this, deterring all the surrounding Liao troops.

Su Shi's army settled down in Shimen Town, Xiao Ying and Zhang Jian who heard the news also breathed a sigh of relief.

Now they dare not think about encircling and suppressing Su Shi, as long as he doesn't torment himself, it will be lucky.And at this time, those officials and gentlemen of the Liao Kingdom in Shangjing finally discussed the peace talks and reached a result-agreement.

Although Su Shi didn't make a fuss now, his presence forced many surrounding cities to be closed.

It can be sustained in a short time, but if it takes a long time, so many people in the city always need to eat and drink, it will inevitably cause problems.

That is to say, the higher authorities agreed to the peace talks, so Zhang Jian volunteered to be an ambassador and led people straight to Bianliang in the Song Dynasty.

Compared with the previous missions to Song, there was never such a rush as this time.

Zhang Jian didn't even have a sedan chair, so under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, he came to Song Dynasty on horseback and went straight to Bianliang City.

In Bianliang City, we got the news one step ahead that the Liao Kingdom will send Zhang Jian, the new envoy of the Third Division, to visit, and what they will discuss is the peace talks between the two countries and the friendship from generation to generation.

In the past, envoys from the Liao Dynasty came to the Song Dynasty, and generally they would not state their purpose so clearly.

It's not bad to reveal a little general meaning, but this time, the purpose was stated in advance, which means to tell Da Song that you are ready, we are not going to fight, you can see what should be done.

What else can I do?

Compared with Liao, Song was more unwilling to go to war.

Song Guo is the defensive side, and the first defense is to defend the three tribes. If one is not handled properly, it is very likely that the country will be in danger of being destroyed.

Now hearing that the Liao Kingdom doesn't want to fight anymore, these masters in the court are very happy.Under such circumstances, no one wants to propose conditions.

They were worried, worried that what would happen if the Liao Kingdom refused to agree to the conditions they had raised and continued to fight?

But no one thinks about who created this situation today.

If it weren't for Su Shi being very good at fighting, and he didn't need any logistical supplies, and he could disappear like a ghost, would the Liao people bow their heads?

Wen Yanbo volunteered, and before Zhang Jian arrived in Bianliang, he served as the minister of power for peace talks with the Liao Dynasty.

He believes that this is an opportunity for himself to perform, which can just make up for the previous misjudgment and make a wrong judgment on Xixia.

Zhao Zhen and Wen Yanbo still share many of the same principles of governing the country, and they admired him very much, so they gave him this opportunity.

In November, Zhang Jian entered Bianliang.

In just five days, the two sides reached an agreement on matters related to the peace talks.

Liao and Song are still brother countries, with a brotherly alliance and non-aggression.

As a younger brother, Song would still pay tribute to Liao every year, the amount being 1 taels of silver and [-] bolts of silk.

The amount of tribute is still the same as before.In the early days, it was 20 pieces of silver and [-] bolts of silk.But with Su Shi's several shots, it has dropped to a low point.

If Su Shi was in Bianliang this time, he would definitely stand up and completely erase the matter of paying tribute.

It's a pity that Su Shi is not here, and others don't have such confidence. They are afraid that the peace talks will fail, so they approved the previous agreement.

In other words, Liao had reached a peace negotiation without any loss.This also proves how afraid and unconfident these gentlemen of the imperial court are of the Liao Kingdom.

After the peace talks were reached, Zhang Jian put forward an additional condition, that is, he hoped that a minister of the Song Dynasty could return to Liao Kingdom with him, go to Shimen Town, and inform Su Shi of the peace talks between the two sides, so that he could retreat.

Everything else is easy to talk about, but when it comes to sending people to Liao with Zhang Jian, the courtiers began to shirk each other.

No one knows if this is a conspiracy by the Liao people to kill the courtiers of the Song Dynasty.

If so, based on the fact that Song was afraid of Liao, even if a minister died, no one would dare to seek justice for him. Wouldn't he die in vain?

Having said that, even if Zhang Jian didn't mean to kill others, if they really went to Shimen Town and met Su Shi, would they really be able to persuade the other party to withdraw?

Su Shi said he was easy to deal with, but he was really easy to fight.

It's like many courtiers in the court have business connections with Su Shi, making these people a lot of money.

But when it comes to being difficult to deal with, it's really not easy to deal with.There are also many courtiers in the court, but they are often ridiculed and slapped by Su Shi.There are even people like Fan Zhongyan who were dismissed directly because of Su Shi.

This peace talk was achieved through Su Shi's hard work.

But this time the peace talks, Da Song did not get any cheap, who knows if Su Shi will be angry at this time?

If he is really angry and he doesn't retreat, who can do anything about it?

I am afraid that in the whole Song Dynasty, Su Shi would only listen to the words of the officials.

But the question is, how could it be possible for Zhao Zhen to follow Zhang Jian into Liao? Wouldn't that put the fate of the country on the line? Even if Zhao Zhen had the guts, other courtiers would not agree.

Who to send, who can solve the problem?

This is the most important thing after the peace talks.

Zhang Jian put on a look, if no one followed him, he would not leave, then the peace talks between Liao and Song were not considered successful, and they just lingered.
