Section 14 Negotiations
"If I were Nianhan," Hu Yangeng thought, "I would definitely send a whistle detective through Jingxing to contact Olibu." Thinking of this, Hu Yangeng hurriedly called Qiu Muling Zhonglian over: "Select a strong soldier, leave Jingxing, and watch the Nianhan army and Olibu army at both ends of Jingxing. If the messenger of the Jin thief entered Jingxing, intercepted and killed him on the spot and could not escape."
Qiu Muling Zhonglian received the order and went to arrange his troops on his own.
Hu Yangeng sent people to urge Xuan Zan and Hao Siwen of the rear team, and Wang Mancang, the grain escort officer, to accelerate the journey and head straight to Jingxing.
"Turn the cart, push the cart. No one is allowed to stay lazy." Wang Mancang shouted, and the horse whip in his hand was whipped. The grain brigade team under his command was only more than 300 soldiers, but he looked at more than 2,000 auxiliary soldiers. Most of the 4,000 auxiliary soldiers in the entire army were here. In order to delay the discovery of the Jin soldiers, Hu Yangeng chose the mountain road. Now Hao Siwen's troops have become a front army. The experience of escaping has left him with a deep memory of the road near Jingxing. At that time, he did not think that when he walked again, every time he went, Hao Siwen could remember how he walked and where the mountain road led. Hao Siwen seemed to be born with a vigilance and could always take the forward to avoid the Jin army's brigade. No wonder he was nicknamed "Jingmufeng".
Hu Yangeng rushed to the scene quickly and finally set up a camp on the northern foot of Jingxing on September 11th. Hu Yangeng's troops were in four wings and more than 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, and they were ambushed in Jingxing.
Qiu Muling Zhonglian's interception on both sides of Jingxing was also quite effective. Nianhan had not discovered Hu Yangeng yet, but he must have discovered that a Song army was close to him. He had stopped the siege of Pingding Army and sent some patrols but had turned into a 100-man team, or even a complete moukke.
On September 13, Li Ruoshui, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, and his party were in Jingxing, suddenly a team of soldiers came out. The leader wore a useful military uniform and saluted Li Ruoshui: "Shilarious Minister Li, the last general is Qiu Muling Zhonglian under the command of Wang Jieshuai, and he escorted the Shilar to the Jin Dynasty camp by Wang Jieshuai and the order of Yuhou of Huyandu."
Li Ruoshui was shocked and the deputy envoy Wang Lu asked, "Is there a handwritten letter from Wang Jieshuai?" Qiu Muling Zhonglian sent a letter written by Hu Yangeng, which contained a seal from Wang Bing.
"You are going to pretend to be a guard and spy on the Jin camp's Xushi?" Li Ruoshui pondered, "If you annoy the Jin people, how can you negotiate peace?"
"Did the court really want to add more annual monies to make peace? I'm afraid the thieves will not agree."
"Bold, how can you, a little martial artist, interfere with the national affairs?" Wang Lu scolded.
Li Ruoshui said, "Since Wang Jieshuai's handwritten letters are available, I will take you there, just to make it as a fine and not miss the slightest. Let the golden man see through it."
Qiu Muling Zhonglian said, "As long as I go alone, I will never reveal any flaws." He had already changed into effective clothes and could set off with Li Ruoshui immediately.
"Just follow the team, just like others, never make trouble, and don't fight with the Jin people."
"The last generals obey the commander's orders."
Li Ruoshui and his party continued to set off, and never met any other Song soldiers along the way. The next day, shortly after leaving Jingxing, Qiu Muling Zhonglian said, "The Jin thieves' stalkers pass here every day, so the minister can wait here."
Sure enough, it was almost noon that Li Ruoshui was caught by a team of stoppers. On the fifteenth, Li Ruoshui was welcomed to Yuci, where Wanyan Nianhan's camp was set up.
Li Ruoshui, Wang Lu, Qiu Muling Zhonglian and all the followers were arranged in a house, with blood stains under the steps of the house.
On the afternoon of the fifteenth, the Grand Tutor of the Jin Kingdom, Xiao Qing and the Minister of the Jin Kingdom, Liu Si, came to visit Li Ruoshui.
When Li Ruoshui and Wang Lu met the guest, they sat down on two sides, and Qiu Muling Zhonglian pretended to be a guard and stood on one side.
After communicating greetings, Xiao Qing asked, "You are here to bring a letter of nationality?"
"I have a letter of nationality."
"What is the so-called in the letter of the country?"
Li Ruoshui expressed his intention to seek peace: "When I came, I was ordered by the emperor of this dynasty. Ruoshui and others repeatedly opened up the country. The treacherous ministers misunderstood the country and implemented it seriously. Today, the difference between the two points and the people came to come to repent with the Taoist ambition. I hope that the Prime Minister and the Marshal will take the spirit as their thoughts, and the alliance will be the heart, and the harmony will be long before they can be harmonious. The world will be very lucky."
After hearing this, Xiao Qing couldn't help but show regret and sighed, but Liu Si showed a sarcastic look: "The envoy wants to be harmonious, but he brought the map of the three towns to get the delivery?" It turned out that when the Jin soldiers surrounded Bianliang for the first time, Emperor Jingkang promised to cede Taiyuan, Zhending and Hejian to seek peace. Later, the three towns had not been ceased, and the Jin soldiers went south for the second time using the excuse of collecting the three towns.
"The households in the three towns are all from the Song Dynasty. If they are cedeed to the Shang Kingdom, they will be separated from their flesh and blood, and their lives will be damaged, which will damage the hearts of the benevolent emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. Our dynasty has another law. In name, the Dajin will not give the three towns, but the Dajin will benefit the three towns."
"How can I get the profit if I don't cut off the three towns?" Liu Si slapped the table. "I think I am a three-year-old child? I bullied me a big gold and no one was too bad?"
Li Ruoshui and Wang Lu's face looked like earth, and he did not dare to answer.
Seeing that Liu Si's power was effective, Xiao Qing waited for a while before speaking: "The Southern Dynasty is elegant and elegant, and I will definitely not deceive me. Shangshu Liu doesn't have to be angry."
Wang Lu said in a rhyme: "If you have something to say, you don't have to be angry, you don't have to be angry."
Xiao Qing said: "The last time he agreed to ced the three towns, the envoy said that the villain of the Southern Dynasty was in trouble and failed to implement it. The Southern Dynasty still had a loyalty."
Wang Lu stumbled and said, "Talk about faith and righteousness, we must talk about faith and righteousness."
"It's just that Taiyuan has already been sent to the fore, and many of my soldiers from the Jin Dynasty were injured. I wonder if the compensation proposed by my country and the prime minister, can the emperor of your dynasty show me?"
Li Ruoshui was confused for a moment: "Compensation?"
Liu Si is about to have an attack again: "Don't pretend to be confused..."
Xiao Qing waved his hand, stopped Liu Si, and said to Li Ruoshui: "A few days ago, Wu Ge, the clan of the Pavilion Gate, came here. My country and the ministers were responsible for the righteousness of the Song Dynasty, and the party was speechless. My country and the ministers were willing to make peace with the two countries and were unwilling to use wars. They just wanted to hand over the three towns. However, Taiyuan had been captured by our army. We should not take one town and gather the number of three towns."
"Don't take one town, get the number of three towns?"
"Yes," Xiao Qing smiled, "I don't want much of my country and country. I just need to replace Daming Mansion with Taiyuan and hand it over to me. The Prime Minister tried his best to make peace with the Gui Dynasty. We have written a letter of state and handed it over to Wu Ge to bring it to the Emperor of Gui Dynasty. I think it was because Mr. Li left the capital early, so I didn't see Wu Ge."
"Chop away Daming and replace Taiyuan?"
"My country and country are extremely trustworthy. Since we only have Daming, we will no longer attack the Weisheng Army to the south. Instead, we will go to Jingxing and Hebei to get Daming."
Li Ruoshui and Wang Lu couldn't speak for a while. Qiu Muling Zhonglian looked around and secretly thought in his heart: "The rumor that Nianhan took Hedong, and Olibu took Hebei. If Nianhan took over Daming, I wonder what Olibu thought?"
After a while, Li Ruoshui said, "The country is pressing step by step, how do people talk?"
Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Xiao Qing said, "I will give you a speech to the nobles today. I will think carefully about how to speak when I meet the prime minister tomorrow. I will always think of the common people as my thoughts. I will help the nobles turn this section into a good place to make the two countries."
After hearing this, Li Ruoshui thanked her for being grateful. Xiao Qing was polite again before leaving with Liu Si.
On the second day, Li Ruoshui and Wang Lu met Nianhan, Qiu Muling Zhonglian took off his weapons, pretended to be a waiter holding a gift, and followed him in.
After greetings, Li Ruoshui said: "Please pay attention to the lives of the two countries, and stop the troops and connect with each other."
Nianhan said: "When Yanshan was harvested, I lost a lot of life, wouldn't it be a creature?"
Li Ruoshui said: "The past events cannot be discussed in detail. Now I want to use the rent collected by the three towns every year, and I will give you all the credits to the court and be willing to quit the army."
Nianhan said sternly: "Since there are the alliances under the city, Xu Jue and his three towns, then the rent is the bottom of this place. How can we say more? If this is the case, we will defeat the alliance and not cut off the three towns."
Li Ruoshui said: "It is because the military and civilians in the three towns are not willing to pay the deposit, so they want to pay the annual rent and taxes to the noble court. The profits are equal, so they are only for the sake of carefree affairs. Fortunately, the Prime Minister and the Marshal will receive the offer."
Nianhan said, "It is a good business for you to not persuade the emperor of the dynasty to cede the land of the three towns of his country, but you come here to talk."
He was speechless for a moment, and Xiao Qing said on the side: "It is better to arrange a banquet for the Southern Dynasty envoys to come from afar. Everyone drinks it so that the people in the south can laugh at me and I don't know etiquette."
Then Nianhan turned to a smile: "Okay, drink first, drink first."
After everyone sat down, Nianhan said, "The envoy comes from the south and from the east?"
“From the East.”
"Since you came from the east, you can go to Jingxing?"
"It's Jingxing."
"Is it safe on the road?" Nian Han asked Li Ruoshui if he had encountered robbers along the way.
Li Ruoshui was about to answer that he was not in danger, but suddenly he felt aroused: "There were a few bandits on the way, but fortunately they were killed by Xiaochen's guards."
"Is the escort of the envoy? Is the one who holds the gift? He is so majestic that he asks him to come in and enjoy a glass of wine."
Qiu Muling Zhonglian responded to the call, drank wine, and thanked Nianhan for his reward, and he was going to pay the bill.
"I have something to ask you," Nianhan refused to let him go. "How many times have you encountered bandits along the way? How many people are you? How many guys are you?"
Qiu Muling Zhonglian replied with a tough bullet: "I met bandits four or five times, and there were nearly a hundred people, and there were twenty or thirty people."
"How many guards do you have in your delegation?"
Li Ruoshui was afraid that Qiu Muling Zhonglian would reveal his flaws, so he quickly replied: "Guard thirty-one."
"Thirty-one people can defeat nearly a hundred bandits, but it will take several hard work."
Qiu Muling Zhonglian said: "When encountering a large number of bandits, as long as you kill the leader, the rest will run away."
Nianhan nodded: "It's a good idea. Who is your surname?"
"The little one is Mu."
"Give you another glass of wine, go out."
After Qiu Muling Zhonglian retreated, Nianhan said to Li Ruoshui: "The state affairs will be discussed tomorrow, please drink first."
After everyone walked for a few minutes, Wang Lu slowly became bolder: "I dare to ask the Prime Minister where is his family's family?"
"The ancestral hometown is in Wenzhou. My flesh and blood were killed yesterday when the Khitan conquers Liaodong, and a young woman was found in the rear."
Wang Lu said: "This shows that military revolution is not a good thing. Tao Yuanming said that although a weak woman is not a man, she will be able to comfort her and be in a good way."
Nianhan suddenly turned a flirting: "I can't bear to drink, let's discuss it tomorrow." After that, he left the seat first.
Chapter completed!
