I became the son of Renzong

The officials are much more ruthless than Zhang Dun, and much more thorough than Lu Huiqing.

But at this time, Wang Anshi did not feel the discomfort he felt when the cabinet was discussing matters.Instead, I think that's the way it should be.

Chapter 905 Disrespectful

Although Wang Anshi is approaching seventy years old, when he is emotional, he still has the drive of a young man.

After receiving the official edict and returning to the cabinet, he took all the ideas put forward by Zhao Xi on his back.

Such vicious thoughts should not be in the mind of a wise and mighty king... Chengong, shouldn't it be like this?

Wang Anshi has long been familiar with taking the blame for the officials.

However, the cabinet members only lamented the perfect strategy, and did not connect these with quality at all... They all came out of the martial arts hall, were influenced by official pragmatism, and also pursued results.

As long as the country's interests can be maximized, who cares about those little details?

As a result, a rather strange situation appeared on the border between the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty.

Two to three hundred thousand Northern Liao cavalry were stationed in the south of Xijin Mansion, and they kept dispatching troops to clean up the remnants of the rebels on the entire Nanjing Road.But the main force of the rebel army is guarding the lonely city of Yongqing.

Fifty miles to the south of Yongqing, there is the frontier army of the Song Dynasty, which is only a team of less than [-].The chariots are continuous, and the cavalry is orderly, which seems to be the most sturdy of the three forces.

Beiliao has been fighting a civil war for more than a year, and it is impossible to say that they are not tired after chasing the rebels so far.But Yelu Yixin's team was like a dog in mourning, and they were in constant fear.In fact, his people are indeed bereaved dogs.

But the Song Dynasty's team, looking at the envious Yan Yun, suppressed the idea of ​​going north under the imperial court's order, and their fighting will was naturally the strongest among the three parties.

Ever since Yelu Yixin fled from Yongqing City, or Yelu Yixin was defeated before approaching the Song camp, the Northern Liao pursuers ceased fighting.This was unbelievable in the early years, but at this time, it makes people feel quite normal.

It's very simple. It's not that the Northern Liao court didn't want to wipe out the rebels, but that the rebels were too close to the Song border army, and they were worried that the war would affect the Song state, which would cause a war between the two countries...Beiliao doesn't want to now either Fight against Da Song.

The reasons for Chen Bing's border in the Song Dynasty are very good. Not to mention that there were raids by rangers some time ago, it is said that the civil war in the Northern Liao Dynasty has moved the battlefield to the border, and the Song Dynasty has enough reasons to send troops.

Therefore, the Northern Liao court chose to mediate first.

"Enter the country from Baigouhe, Wuqing, Guiyi, and Rongcheng, and then go north to form a siege against Yelu Yixin's rebels, so as to avoid the war and chaos from affecting our Song Dynasty? Beiliao really dares to think about it!"

When the court of the Great Song Dynasty was calculating the Northern Liao Dynasty, how could the Northern Liao Dynasty not be calculating the Great Song Dynasty?

For example, this first negotiation contact... Beiliao first expressed his understanding of the border of Chen Bing in the Great Song Dynasty, and deeply regretted that the civil war in Beiliao had caused the border of Song State to be unstable.

Now, the rebel army is at the end of the road, in order to prevent the rebel army and the civil strife in Daliao from continuing to cause harm to Song State.Beiliao decided to borrow from Song State, and then surrounded Yongqing City, so as to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop and restore peace to the border between Song and Liao.

"His request made the old man feel less guilty."

Seeing such a request, Wang Anshi really felt that he was a bit hypocritical.How can there be affection between two countries, or between two countries that are hostile?It just depends on the need.

"Who gave Beiliao the courage to think like this?"

The cabinet is a little angry.To be honest, the development of Guochao to their current cabinet has changed drastically. Even with Beiliao, they can already talk on an equal footing, and they even need to look down on Beiliao to feel appropriate.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Beiliao is still so rampant.

"It's no wonder that the second time I dispatched troops and returned without success, the Northern Liao court probably thought that my Great Song feared the Liao disease had penetrated into the bone marrow!"

What Su Zhe said may be possible.In the second dispatch of troops, there was no major combat contact between the two sides, it was just a parade.Guochao's withdrawal of troops without a war probably made Beiliao think that... the Great Song Dynasty was nothing more than that.

After all, in the original Battle of Hedong, Beiliao still relied on their Xijing Road combat power.Elites such as Shangjing Road, Northwest Recruitment Division, Zhongjing Road, and Nanjing Road did not participate in the war at all.

"In this way, Beiliao thinks that in this matter, my Song Dynasty should get nothing, and should provide them with the convenience to encircle and suppress the rebels?"

"It seems that Beiliao really meant that."

"I understand Chen Bing, and I deeply regret the loss caused... Pretty good wording."

"It's not unreasonable for Beiliao to come to this day. Their court is a little too arrogant."

"It's not surprising. Thinking about the process of the civil strife in Northern Liao this time, Yelu Yixin rebelled, Guochao sent troops to the north, and the four Jurchen tribes took the opportunity to rebel. Even the old and young of Xi, Shiwei, etc. in the Mongolian Plateau and in Suzhou all rebelled together. , were finally appeased by the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty."

"Such a big situation and a big scene can be settled down so easily. There is also a foundation for the arrogance of the Northern Liao court."

The mood of the cabinet was only temporary, and no one really took Beiliao's rudeness seriously.

When the difference in strength is not too big, such an approach is insulting. When the difference in strength has reached an incomparable level, for the stronger side, such an approach will be regarded as the behavior of a clown.

Beiliao is now so brash, the cabinet feels a little speechless after the mood calms down... Beiliao doesn't recognize the status quo at all.

What's more, Guochao already has a backup.The cabinet prefers to be a bystander, watching the civil strife in the Northern Liao Dynasty, rather than getting involved with the country and the dynasty...

"How is Yelv Yixin?"

Wang Anshi stopped the cabinet nonsense. Under such circumstances, it is better to be serious.

"Because the negotiations with the Northern Liao court have not been confirmed, the topic has not yet entered the topic. However, through the channels of merchants, we have provided food and grass for three to five days in advance."

Zhang Dun was in charge of Yelu Yixin, and he recommended himself to lead, with Lu Huiqing assisting.Zhang Dun is tough and Lu Huiqing is scheming. The two of them should be foolproof in doing this.

Wang Anshi was considering whether he needed to ask the officials for the next move... After thinking about it, he looked at the prince's demeanor that it had nothing to do with him...

Forget it, since the government has authorized the cabinet to make decisions and the general direction has been clarified, the cabinet cannot even do this well.

"Let's put forward the court's request to the envoys of the Northern Liao Dynasty. If the Northern Liao Dynasty can do this, it would be a bit tit-for-tat to ask the court to return Yanyun's remaining twelve prefectures."

"Also, for Yelu Yixin, Zihou and Jifu, you two should discuss the timing, when to throw the bottom line, and what strategy to use."

"Now it seems that it is impossible for the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty to meet the expectations of the court. Therefore, Yelu Yixin must be foolproof."

From the current point of view, there is no room for relaxation between the Northern Liao court and Yelu Yixin.In other words, the imperial court's plan should have a great chance of success.

Chapter 906

When the reply from the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty was fed back to the court, the cabinet had no emotions.

Return Yanyun's remaining twelve states?Daliao still wants to take back the land of Yunying Four States!If the state of song does not agree to send troops through this means, once the war breaks out and the border of the state of song falls into chaos, Beiliao will not be able to control the warriors who are in a state of war. What will happen will not be decided by the court.

That's the reply, intimidating as always, threatening.

If Yelu Yixin hadn't been trapped in a lonely city, if he could still borrow the original intelligence channels, after knowing the progress of the negotiations between Song and Liao, he might have more choices.

It's a pity that Yelu Yixin now knows that only Song and Liao are negotiating.

All he could see and think of was that the Daliao court stopped at Nanjing Road because they did not dare to provoke Song Guo. Unexpectedly, Song Liao was now tit for tat.

So, he has no choice.

People who used to play chess are now pawns.Even if he, Yelv Yixin, was unwilling, no matter how unwilling he was, facing the current situation, he could only accept it.

No choice.
