Chapter 1077: Peace and Peace Negotiation
Xingzhou, in the palace city.

"Minister of the State, the war ahead is unfavorable and we are retreating steadily. The Yanzhou traitor Wang Yanzhe is really difficult to deal with. According to reports from the front, our Xia people have joined the army under the command of Zhong'e. Since the war started two months ago, we have waited several times I mobilized troops to encircle and kill me, but my plan failed many times. Zhong'e fell into the trap and was bound to flee south. Wang Yan had 10,000 troops to support him, and there were more troops to block my retreat, making me in a dilemma.

Now Fan Zhongyan and Di Qing have arrived at Longyou and have increased their troops. Now they number 300,000. I heard that troops are still being dispatched to support them. Moreover, there are many rebellions in our country, and it is suspected that Wang Yan sent people to spread rumors. There have been no fewer than twenty killings of officials in the past two months..."

"Yes, Prime Minister, now we are faced with internal and external troubles, and we are in dire straits..."

A group of ministers spoke in agreement, all quite eagerly.

The person who is called the Prime Minister is naturally the one who holds the most power in Xixia. He is now over fifty years old, and has been in a high position for a long time. He enjoys wealth and honor, and his whole body has become prosperous.

But as he sat there, his beard, broad shoulders, and ruthless eyes that picked out others all showed that he was once a strong man, but now he is a violent man, and he is in the midst of a violent attack. Dangkou.

He is indeed a ruthless person.

After Li Yuanhao supported the Song Dynasty, but was forced to strike out due to the participation of the Liao Kingdom, he began to torment the country, and began to enjoy everything after the great victory as a matter of course, arrogance, arrogance, and cruelty.

Wu Zangyu Pang seized this opportunity. At that time, he had been promoted to the position of Prime Minister by Li Yuanhao. He could be said to have all the power in the government, but he still lived in trepidation. So he encouraged Li Yuanhao's prince Ning Lingge to poison Li Yuanhao. He tortured Ning Lingge to death in the name of poisoning the emperor's father, and supported his sister Wu Zangshi's son Li Liangzuo to rise to power, who is now Xiao emperor.

As a result, Wu Zangying Pang truly took control of the power of Xixia. He eliminated dissidents, exploited and plundered from top to bottom, and even sent troops to frighten Song Dynasty to engage in extortion. Life was still very happy.

But it was a threat, and he didn't want to fight. However, the situation changed too quickly. Wang Yan was not joking. He hit him whenever he wanted, and he hit him so hard. He had dealt with Da Song too much, but this time Da Song was strange to him and frightening to him.

If he is afraid, he will naturally make others more afraid.

So after listening to the minister's report, he angrily smashed the exquisite celadon jianzhan from the Song Dynasty in his hand, and it landed accurately on the head of one of them. With a thud, the smash was quite solid. It bounced off the head and fell to the ground, then shattered into pieces.

The sound of the broken lamp made other ministers hesitate...

Immediately afterwards, Wu Zang's angry voice sounded: "How is the war going? Don't you know the truth? Do you want to wait for nonsense? Now, the truth wants you to tell me how to deal with the Song thief, how to deal with the King thief, how to win, not let me What nonsense!”

In the empty lobby, the angry shouts were echoing. The Xixia bigwigs sitting here were trembling and trembling, but no one responded.

"Speak, are you mute?"

After another silence for a while, someone said: "The situation of this battle has become clear today. If we fight again, we will definitely be defeated, and the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed. For the current plan, there is only one way, and the only way is to unite with the Khitan. But then The Khitan leader may not be willing to raise troops to attack the Song Dynasty at a time of internal troubles, so the Khitan government will only take action to force the Song Dynasty to withdraw its troops and seek peace."

Wu Zangping Pang pondered for a long time and sighed: "Just do it this way, we will discuss it, get a charter, and it will be up to you to go to Khitan. If you act quickly, things will change if you are too late."

After making some arrangements, arranging for additional troops, transporting grain and grass, and other personnel issues, etc., the meeting lasted for most of the day, and then the Xixia ministers dispersed.

They have been thinking about it for more than two months, and they still haven't figured out why Song Ting suddenly became so awesome. Of course they knew that the key to the problem lay with Wang Yan. But they couldn't understand how Wang Yan could be so powerful, proficient in everything from politics to war and military strategy.

All their actions on the Eastern Front ended in failure.

They dispatched large armies to pursue and intercept them in large areas of Youzhou and Xiazhou. They even used cavalry to fight infantry, but it was useless. If they are cavalry, they will encounter the cavalry and constantly harass them.

If they divide their forces, they will eventually be surrounded. From men to horses to armor, nothing will be left. If the troops are not divided, the cavalry's mobility advantage cannot be deployed, and there is no threat to the troops led by Zhonge who move in units of hundreds or even thousands. Maybe even counter-surrounded.

If it were infantry, it would be even worse. Their infantry cannot defeat the opponent. The most dangerous battle was when they were marching and the reinforcements were twenty miles away. There was a head-on field battle involving tens of thousands of people. After the fight, they ran away.

If they dare to send troops to bypass the rear, directly insert the security forces and attack Yanzhou, they will encounter stubborn resistance from there, and Zhonge will appear immediately, cutting off their retreat and forming a siege.

When they discovered that a large number of Xia people were working hard in the Song army, they scolded Wang Yan for being stupid, and secretly sent people to join the army. They were captured by the Song army to save their lives, and were escorted to the rear to encourage them. The people rebelled.

But unfortunately, it was of no use at all. Instead, he was reported by the Xixia people and arrested and given special care. Because all of them who could instigate rebellion have been caught working, they don't have enough to eat, they have to be beaten every day, and they have to do heavy work. Ten or twenty people die in one day, which is a small number. And those people in Xixia who can move freely have actually benefited and listened to the propaganda. How could they want to rebel?

The people were illiterate and ignorant, but they were not stupid. When Li Yuanhao rebelled and founded the country, he promised benefits to these people, but he saw nothing. But when the Song Dynasty came, they arrested all the officials who bullied them. Some were beheaded in public, and some were working outside. They were watching. How could they not know who was good to them...

While they had racked their brains to target Wang Yan and had no results, Fan Zhongyan and Di Qing on the western front were mature and prudent. Moreover, their goal was to be undefeated and their troops were very stable. Even if they made mistakes, they would not be too big of a mistake. Even if the generals on the front line waste the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and lose a relatively critical battle, there is still a lot of room for error.

He completely understood that this battle was going to be lost, and then he began to want to end the battle as soon as possible. After all, it was too hopeless to endlessly support a war that we knew we were going to lose. There is so much military expenditure, it would be better if everyone pocketed a share...

The Loess Plateau has a temperate continental monsoon climate, with hot and rainy summers and cold and dry winters. After more than four months of fighting, it is already autumn between winter and summer. Therefore, the characteristics of winter and summer are taken into account. It is hot during the day, cold at night, and it rains heavily.

It was raining heavily that day. In the temporary official residence in Xiazhou, Wang Yan was eating hotpot mutton and drinking Huadiao wine. It was pouring rain outside the window and it was very cold. It was very warm inside the window because of the stove. A person eats alone and enjoys himself.

There was a rush of boots hitting the rain, and Xiao Dongliang walked in with the wind and rain, and the heat rising from the hot pot dispersed.

"Alang, there is a letter from Mr. Fan."

"eat together."

"Thank you Alang." Xiao Dongliang chuckled and handed over the letter. He then got the bowl and chopsticks by himself, mixed the seasonings skillfully, poured a plate of meat into the pot, and sat on the small bench biting his chopsticks and staring. Waiting for the meat to be cooked...

Wang Yan shook his head in amusement, took a sip of wine, then opened the envelope, shook it open and read it, then smiled, put the letter back, held the envelope between his fingers, and threw it back. On the desk.

"Alang, did Mr. Fan say anything funny?"

"Xixia paid money to ask Khitan for help. Khitan increased its troops on the border and sent envoys to Bianjing to discuss peace. Bianjing agreed and sent an order to Duke Fan to stop the army. Do you think it's funny?"

"Why? Are those officials all fools? Now we have captured Yuzhou and half of Yanzhou. The western front has also advanced hundreds of miles. In less than a year, Xixia will be destroyed. Didn't Alang say that the Khitan will not Dare to start a war?"

"One moment, another moment. Xixia was useless. In less than half a year, it lost a large area of ​​land and population, and lost many soldiers. The Khitan saw it. If Xixia was destroyed, we, the Song Dynasty, would definitely have to wait for two years to recuperate. The Northern Expedition was going to be unrelenting, so the Khitan was afraid. Even if they lost ground and were embarrassed, Xixia still had hundreds of thousands of troops, so we, the Song Dynasty, would not dare to move rashly. It must be beaten." "Alang, do you think those people in the capital have no eggs?"

Xiaodongli grew up in the countryside, and after joining Wang Yan, he became well-informed. He had contact with people from all walks of life, as well as soldiers, and his speaking tone was very slippery.

"The Khitans have nothing to fear. Xixia has no fighting spirit now. We can just maintain the status quo and go north."

"Oh..." Xiao Dongliang said in a clear voice, "So the capital gave Duke Fan the order to stop the army, but did not give the order to A Lang. It wanted Duke Fan to persuade A Lang, and was afraid that A Lang would do things on his own again and end up with A Lang. Khitan goes to war."

"You've made some progress, kid." Wang Yan nodded with a smile.

"If you don't make any progress, wouldn't you be living up to Alang's cultivation?"

Xiao Dongliang smiled proudly and asked again, "Well, Ah Lang, can we fight the Khitan?"

"Of course I won't fight. This time I'm going to fight Xixia on my own initiative. Xixia is the one who called for peace. I'm afraid the celebration banquet in the capital will be over for more than one round. If you don't obey the order at this time, you will be in the public eye. We will be in business for another two years. Let’s make good use of the land we conquered, accumulate strength, and then attack the Khitans.”

Although he will be away from home and his life will be somewhat unfavorable, he still has to go back. Isn’t it better to be unlucky all the time...

"Alang, now that the battle is over, why don't you take the two ladies over? The two gentlemen can walk and talk, but I haven't met Alang yet."

"I can't take it." Wang Yan shook his head.

"why?"

"This is a border area. I am in charge of five states. I have a household registration of one million, and I have an army of one hundred thousand capable of recruiting and fighting at my command. I have no parents or relatives, and I am alone. How can I be controlled? With my wife and children As for the pledge, the capital is not at peace with it, let alone one?"

"Didn't you say that we only train military attachés?"

"Which military attache do you think has the power I have now?"

"Not even Mr. Di." Xiao Dongliang's words were very proud, but he sighed. Wang Yan told him many things, and he understood. He also knew that Wang Yan really had his thoughts, even though Wang Yan told him He was talking about self-preservation.

He was not lamenting that Wang Yan was disloyal to the Song Dynasty, Wang Dongliang did not eat from the Song Dynasty. He was lamenting that good officials like his A Lang had to prepare to protect themselves...

Wang Yan did not deny Xiao Dongliang's statement. It's just that his official rank is not high, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have great power. Who has ever seen a magistrate who is in charge of five states and commands a hundred thousand troops? Otherwise, why would he say that he wanted to protect Di Qing.

For Bao Diqing's matter, he doesn't even need his current power. He can do it when he was a military inspector. At that time, they were still talking to each other. He just pretended to be dumbfounded and couldn't understand what Zhao Zhen meant. He would punish anyone who targeted Di Qing. It was as simple as that.

"Don't go out and say this, otherwise our dog may get horny."

"I'm not stupid, Alang." Xiao Dongliang shook his head, "Then when can the young master return to Beijing?"

"It depends on the situation. If Duke Fan returns to the throne, he can return to the capital within two years. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will have to wait three to five years."

Fan Zhongyan's return to prime minister was not just a matter of Fan Zhongyan's return to prime minister, but a major political event that would affect the future of the Song Dynasty. Because Fan Zhongyan is the leader of the reform faction, his return to the prime minister means that the Qingli incident has completely turned over and is a new chapter.

So after Fan Zhongyan returns to the prime minister, a series of reform actions are necessary. At this time, a knife is needed again. Who should King She say?

But obviously, a considerable number of conservatives and even reformists strongly opposed Wang Yan's return to Beijing. What's more, everyone knows how to reform and who to reform, so it is impossible to sit still and wait for death.

Therefore, after the end of the second Song-Xia War and the "Zhihe Peace Conference", the Song Dynasty will begin a more intense political struggle. Although Wang Yan is not in the center and is firmly suppressed at the border, he is really the figure at the center of the whirlpool...

"Ah? Then I'm afraid the two young masters in the family will disown Alang."

Wang Yan ate the meat with big mouthfuls, asked Xiao Dongliang to add more meat to the pot, and said, "You are sixteen this year, right?"

"Yes, Alang, what's wrong?"

"It's time to find a wife. What kind of wife are you looking for?"

"It's easy to have children. I heard those military men say that the bigger the butt is, the better. I will enjoy wealth with Alang, but I can have more children and let my sons enjoy the blessings. Then they will work for the Wang family."

"I'll let people take a look here, and I'll also ask the lady to search for it in the capital. If you like it, tell me about it. I'll make the decision for you."

"Okay, I'll listen to Alang." Xiao Dongliang was not shy at all and accepted the arrangement calmly.

"Eat meat, eat meat, eat more."

The master and the servant enjoyed eating meat, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty also enjoyed eating meat.

As various matters were negotiated, Song and Xia negotiated for the second time. From now on, Song Ting no longer negotiated with Xixia, but the other way around. At the same time, they did not return the land and population that had been conquered, and opened a trade market in Yanzhou.

As the eldest brother, pretending to be a thug, and promoting the peace talks, Liao certainly paid the price, that is, the Song Dynasty would no longer accept money from Liao in the future. Of course, this money must be attributed to Xixia.

The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were timid, but they did not see the face of winning the battle. Wang Yan heard that at the negotiating table, Lao Bao, who was in charge of the negotiations, had people formulate a strategy for the Northern Expedition, and showed it to the Liao envoys on the spot. Of course, the focus is on how Wang Yan broke through the Xijing Road and cooperated with the Hebei armies to fight all the way to Linhuang Mansion.

It’s quite appropriate for Lao Bao to do this, but he scolded me a lot...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
