Chapter 496 The most dangerous person
"First, if the Tianxiong Army's troops are guarding Waqiao Pass to maintain a defensive position, it will naturally be more than enough. However, if we have to defend on the front line to maintain an offensive, the troops will be a little insufficient. Therefore, the Tianxiong Army must be expanded. I will want the Han people obtained from Yan and the Han army captured."
"Second, my deputy general Cao Jun made a great contribution to this battle. I want to ask him for an errand for the commander of Luoyang."
The direction of these two conditions is very clear, but there is no conspiracy. To put it bluntly, it is just some compensation that leaves the center. The generals discussed it, but there was no objection, and then asked Zhao Dezhao for instructions in a decent manner, and agreed.
A day later, the Song army took the initiative to propose peace talks, and the Liao Kingdom agreed without hesitation. After all, no one wants to fight again in this battle. There is no slander. Yelu Xiuge and Sun Yue were just riding a horse among the troops under the city and chatting.
The Liao side proposed that they would definitely not give it again after the tribute. After all, the Liao Dynasty won the battle in name, so Sun Yue had no objection to this. The Song Dynasty did not lack the number of them. It would be better if they didn't want this false reputation. If they did not agree, Yelu Xiuge and Liao Emperor Yelu Xian could not explain it to the following.
What Sun Yue is more concerned about is naturally the ownership of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Yelu Xiu Ge spoke out loudly and asked the Song army to retreat to Waqiao Pass. But this would be a waste of fighting? How could Sun Yue agree and just say something, then continue fighting.
Sun Yue suggested that Yan Yun was naturally divided according to the current military area, but in this way, except for Youzhou, the Khitan almost lost all of Yan Yun, especially Ruzhou and other places, which were so close to Youzhou, naturally it was impossible to agree.
Finally, after arguing, the Liao Kingdom agreed to return Mozhou, Zhuzhou and other places. These were originally the territory of the Song Dynasty that Zhao Kuangyin had captured before, but they were used as buffer belts at that time to handle some trade and other things. There was no garrison to build a fort. Now the Song Dynasty will start building a fort.
As for Ru, Shun and Tan Sanzhou, because the geographical location of Tanzhou was too important, the Liao Kingdom had to take it back. Sun Yue did not exchange it with them and returned it back in exchange for 20,000 war horses, but he had to take it away in the city.
As for Ruzhou and Shunzhou, two trading cities were opened east and west. As a buffer zone between Liao and Song, Sun Yue led the Tianxiong Army and a large number of northern people to Jizhou, and asked Zhao Dezhao for instructions to build a huge city in Zhuzhou, which not only replaces Waqiao Pass to become a new line of defense, but also places the families of Tianxiong Army soldiers, and relies on each other with Zhuzhou to form a new war and economic community.
Of course, at this moment, Zhao Dezhao definitely cannot refuse Sun Yue's proposal. However, the court may not be able to take care of the city building for the time being. Sun Yue said generously, "It's okay, I'll find a way."
In this regard, the civil and military officials in the court unconsciously were all black lines, as if Sun Chunming said so when he founded Luoyang.
So the matter settled, Zhao Dezhao led Cao Bin away in a hurry, and all the specific matters of Hebei were pushed to Sun Yue for handling. Anyway, this guy was both literary and military, so he had nothing to worry about.
Sun Yue did not transfer Lu Mengzheng and the others to come. They are now Zhao Tingmei's people, but they just called Han Delang over as their personal aide to deal with the city building. After discussing with Sun Chunming, the Sun family's business began to move northward.
However, on the way back to Zhao Dezhao, the governors from all over the country left one after another, hundreds of thousands of troops were gradually shrinking, and at the same time, fewer and fewer generals were restrained. Gradually, he really found a little bit of the emperor's dignity. When he arrived near Luoyang, he invited Cao Bin to his imperial carriage and began to ask for advice humbly.
"I can have today, so I will not say that the word "Xie" is the name "Xie". But now I have ascended the throne, and there are actually many powerful ministers inside and outside the court. You are the only one who can trust me. I wonder why the Prime Minister teaches me?"
Cao Bin was not pretentious anymore and sighed after hearing this, "Yes, who would have thought that the country's prosperity, which was as strong as the early Tang Dynasty a year ago, turned into such a field in a blink of an eye. Although you have now ruled the world, in my opinion, it is actually in danger."
"Yes, I feel this way, but I really don't know where the danger comes from?"
"The danger is divided into two parts inside and outside. On the outside, it is the Jiedushi who is large and small, who is highly respected. Although Taizu was there, he had already collected all the military power in the world, but there were still a few big ones. The reason why the late emperor died on the battlefield was actually because they were too forced to force them. But in fact, the concerns were just Sun Yue of Tianxiong Army and Li Jixun of Zhaoyi Army. The rest of them could follow the steps. The national policy of Emperor Taizu's for more than ten years was never able to be overcome in just one day. As for the Tianxiong Army and Zhaoyi Army, as long as there is no internal chaos, it can be resolved slowly."
"So this danger still comes from the Beijing area, right?"
"Yes, as long as the internal stability is stable, one or two military governors will not be a big problem. Since ancient times, it is rare to fight against the world with one domain."
"Where is the internal danger?"
Cao Bin sighed bitterly, and actually shook his head slowly. Zhao Dezhao said in surprise: "Does even the minister feel that he is confused and can't tell me why?"
"Not, it's just that the internal matter is a bit complicated. I'm just thinking about where to talk first."
"It's okay, so that the image can be said slowly and in detail."
"The most urgent task at the moment actually comes from His Highness King Yan. According to the Jinkui Alliance, His Highness King Yan is the nominal crown prince. He already has great power in his hands. In addition, His Highness King Yan has built canals in recent years and has many connections with local prefects. In the name of the canal, he has actually taken half of the northern military and financial resources for himself. He has even occupied Luoyang, with 100,000 imperial guards and Sun Yue as his minions, Sun Chunming and his boundless financial resources as his wings. His prestige is far above the official family. The late emperor is also quite concerned and afraid of him. If he openly jumped out to question you, I'm afraid...ah."
Zhao Dezhao heard this and said, "Is there any good way to make the minister like this?"
Cao Bin nodded and said, "Yes."
"Oh? What's the solution?"
