Chapter 827: Paper Tigers (Part 2)(2/2)
"They brought the letter from the Emperor of Liao. The Emperor of Liao had a strong tone on the letter, and asked the Song Dynasty to take care of the three countries' favors, the three armies retreated from Hengshan, and returned the prisoners of war to Xixia."
"Haha," Wang Ju laughed again.
Not to mention that if Wang Ju had not returned to the capital to report his duties, with the Liao Dynasty's letter of intimidation, he would have intimidated some ministers again.
After Wang Ju finished laughing, he said, "Don't worry, I'll deal with them."
"That's the best," Cai Que said. But he thought to himself that even if you have to force others, you have to force them to fight!
The sixth day of the lunar month is here.
The Liao envoys who came were Yelu Gongchen, the governor of the Ningchang Army of Liao, Han Yi, the envoy of the Guzhou Defense Commission, and the envoy of the Haizhou Defense Commission. They usually had such middle and senior officials as envoys to interact with each other. For example, the envoys sent to the Liao Dynasty in the Song Dynasty were mostly censors. Officials such as imperial edicts, Hanlin scholars, living servants, or group envoys were nothing special.
Wang Ju also entered the hall. Although he left the prime minister, the official rank he had on him was not inferior to Cai Que, so he was one of the few people sitting in the front.
Han Yi looked at Wang Ju in surprise: "Prince, why are you in the capital?"
"Do you know someone?" Wang Ju asked indifferently.
Han Yi felt bitter in his heart. We the emperor hung your portrait in the Nanjing Palace, how could we not recognize you?
Wang Ju said again: "Your Majesty recalled Beijing to report his duties. Besides, our dynasty has a system of misleading officials. Today I can let me go to Shaanxi, next year I can also let me go to the three provinces, and the day after tomorrow I can let me go to Hebei. Don't you know?"
Han Yi was so impatient, why are you, Killing Xing, going to Hebei?
But Wang Ju was in charge of the place, and the two Liao envoys immediately became much more honest. First, they congratulated Zhao Xu on New Year's Day. Then Yelu Gongchen said: "Your Majesty, I heard that your country was using troops to Xixia. Our Majesty brought words to you. During the reign of Emperor Renzong, I did not know the military skills for 42 years, and it was a good story. Why not let the Xixia go and the Three Kingdoms get a truce?"
This is much more tactful than the words in the Book of China.
Wang Ju said, "All of this was initiated by someone. Let someone answer your emperor on behalf of His Majesty."
"I want to say a few things. First of all, I am not evil to you, and I have even said many times that before I can't even mention it, I will mention the Sixteen State of Yanyun. Your Majesty can be a proof, and so many ministers can also be a proof."
Zhao Xu bluntly looked at his forehead.
Wang Ju said similar words. Although Zhao Xu was a little dissatisfied, Wang Ju said it was not unreasonable. After regaining the two countries, it had to be digested. Moreover, the two countries were one of the foreign countries and the other was the Qiang country. They digested more slowly. After digesting, they had to control the Yellow River. After this delay, more than ten years would go on. Of course, the Song Dynasty might be stronger at that time, but in these ten years, don’t mention the Sixteen State of Yanyun, otherwise it would be a superfluous move.
Wang Ju said again: "And why did I propose to hand over the seeds of grain to you Khitan, and let you Khitan send some old farmers to learn how to grow these grains, because only in this way can your Khitan people have no worries about food and clothing, and when the people are full, no one will cross the border to cut grass valley regardless of the edict of your Khitan Majesty. In this way, the relationship between the two countries can be stable and common prosperity. If I am hostile to your Khitan, I will never do this."
After hearing this, the two messengers seemed to make sense...
This is the most confusing thing about Wang Ju.
Wang Ju continued, "Learn this relationship clearly, let me talk about a few more things. The first thing is that before I went to Shaanxi last year, several battles broke out in the northwest. I believe the two envoys also knew. But who sent the troops? While Xixia bewitched your Khitans, he tried to drag your Khitans into the water as scapegoats, so as to reap the benefits of fishermen, and attacked them constantly, and joined forces with Tubo Aligus to invade our borders. Our dynasty is the king, they are the ministers, are they the ministers, right?"
One thing to say is that Liang Yibi did not use troops to Dingxi City, and the Song army would also take action in Mingsha City, but the key is that the Xixia people took the initiative, so the reason was that the Song Dynasty took over.
Yelu Gongchen and Han Yi were speechless.
"Secondly, I went to the northwest and only used troops to Tubo. Should I take care of my country's attack on Tubo? Is this too much?"
Yelu Gongchen and Han Yi were speechless again.
Wang Ju said again: "At that time, your Khitan Holy Sect and Empress Xiao's main countries, Han Derang presided over government affairs, and Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xizhen presided over military affairs. It can be said that was the time when your Khitan was the most powerful, so our two northern expeditions in Taizong failed. But in fact, the border wars will be each in the future. Although your Khitan has some advantages, the advantages are not obvious."
"That was the time when your Khitan was the most powerful. I didn't say that your Khitan is not strong now, but now our three armies are not weaker than those of Taizong. Although the attack on Xia failed because of unscrupulous command, Yongle City failed again, I believe you have heard of the results of the battle in recent years."
"Now our dynasty has almost occupied the entire Hengshan Mountain, at least invincible. As long as some troops are stationed in the army, we can ensure the security of the northwest. At this time, if your country is determined to get into evil with our dynasty, I will say boldly that the victory or defeat may not be the result! Our dynasty has not only me, but also Zhang Zhifu, but also many soldiers have been tempered in the continuous battles over the years!"
"In the alliance of Chanyuan, our dynasty gives you 300,000 yuan a year. The war between the Song and Xia in Qingli started. At that time, our dynasty had been peaceful for a long time. The three armies did not know how to fight, so they defeated more and won less. Your country sent troops to intimidate. For peace, Renzong once again made an agreement with your late emperor, which was changed to 500,000 yuan, and the dynasty was changed to a shameful dynasty. Xining had a severe drought. Your country threatened and extorted again, forcing our dynasty to ced 700 miles of territory. For peace between the two countries, our dynasty endured it. However, we could not be overwhelmed. In that case, once the war between the two countries broke out again, life would be devastated. But I believe that if our dynasty's financial strength continues, what would happen to your country?"
"Those who respect others respect them, and those who insult others are insulting others! Our Song Dynasty hopes that the country and the country will be peaceful, but others do not give us peace, and no matter who it is, they will not be afraid!"
In fact, there are only two key points in these passages. If Hengshan is taken, our army can free up. You Liao Kingdom will not be able to threaten it again.
Once the fight starts, there is no winner, but this 500,000 yuan will definitely be gone.
Yelu Gongchen asked again: "I heard that the prince said that Xixia will be restored in three years."
"Emister Yelu, who am I using troops now?"
"Tibet."
"What is the result of the Western Xia attack on Tubo? How long does it take to win Tubo?"
"Now Tubo is the governor of Ali, as great as before."
Not cheated? However, Wang Ju still replied calmly: "Tubo is not as good as before, so it will be delayed until the end of the year."
Yelu Gongchen had to nod. Even though he was not as good as before, no one really ignored the combat effectiveness of the Tubo people. The weather there seemed to be the same as in Liaodong. It was only seven or eight months that the Song Dynasty had used troops. It would be better if it could defeat Tubo.
"That is the case, I will be able to destroy Xixia next year? The people of Xixia are so powerful, I believe your country knows it."
"The Liang clan in the Western Xia is also not as good as before."
"When the late emperor of your country conquered Xixia, why did he go to conquer?"
Isn’t it that I’m greedy for you, the 500,000 yuan of Song Dynasty! Yelu Gongchen rolled his eyes.
"What you think may be wrong. At that time, the late emperor of your country conquered Xixia. It was Xixia who fought with our dynasty for several years. The people were suffering extremely. Many people even dug mice or used Guanyin soil to relieve hunger. Therefore, your late emperor thought that Xixia was ready to get it. What was the result?"
That is, the truth is that when Emperor Xingzong of Liao saw that Xixia had been fighting for a long time, the people were living in poverty because of Song Xia's long battle. He thought he could get a bargain, so he sent troops, but he almost threw his life into the Nanhetao.
"If the people of Xixia are really worse than before, how can you dare to provoke our dynasty repeatedly? Or to put it this way, I will destroy one country a year and two countries a year. Our dynasty army has such strong combat power, how dare you Khitans provoke and intimidate?"
"But since Xixia has asked you Khitan, our dynasty cannot help but give you face. The prisoners of war can never be released. They even killed the civilians of our dynasty in Yongle City, killing more than 200,000 people. After a few years, our dynasty has picked up more than 100,000 corpses! But our dynasty can bring an important figure to your Khitan and serve the people of Xixia."
As he said that, he clapped his hands and brought Rendao Baozhong to the guard outside.
"Who is he?" Han Yi asked.
"He is Renduo Baozhong, the son of Renduo Lingding. I will give them another sentence. It may not be necessary to destroy Xixia, but our dynasty will inevitably carry out some revenge activities on the border, just like when your Khitan defeated Hequ, and then sent troops one after another. This is the face of the superior country and cannot be discarded!"
"If your country really thinks that our country is using troops to fight against the two countries, this opportunity can be taken advantage of. I can immediately send an envoy to appease Aligu, believing that Aligu is eager to do it. Then, with Hengshan as the defense, the army will gather in Hedong and Hebei to see who this world is!"
