One Piece of Song Dynasty

Tong Guan slept for a whole day. After waking up the next day, Tong Guan got the specific information about the Song army's losses in this battle. After seeing it, Tong Guan quickly wrote a letter to Cai Jing asking for help, detailing the situation in the letter. A specific explanation was given.

In the Song Army camp under Waqiao Pass, Wang Gui said: "Brother, it seems we will be stationed here for a long time."

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Yes, this time we lost % of our troops without much fighting. The Privy Council will definitely gather troops to attack Youzhou again. If we go back in such a dejected manner now, the Privy Council will not be able to report to the court." Tell the people, just wait, the Privy Councilor will definitely ask for help from the imperial court for more troops."

While the two were talking, they heard the messenger shouting: "Report, the envoy from the Liao Kingdom wants to see you."

Wang Gui said: "Why is this envoy from the Liao Kingdom here again? He must be here to see our jokes."

Yue Fei said thoughtfully: "I came here to seek peace. It seems that the Emperor of Liao Kingdom still refuses to give up. It's just that the Privy Envoy has just experienced a defeat and lost face. I think this envoy will end up in vain." return."

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Tong Guan sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, and the main generals were arranged on both sides.

The envoy said: "Your Excellency, this war is not our fault. It was you who forced us to fight. Before the war, we asked you for peace many times but got no response. Now, on behalf of our Emperor of Liao, I appeal to you again. He, the proposal is still the previous proposal, as long as we defeat the Jin people, Youzhou can be returned to you."

The generals on both sides were blushing and speechless. The Liao envoy was right. The Song Dynasty forced the Liao Kingdom to fight this war. Before the war, the Liao Kingdom repeatedly sued for peace but could not get a response from the Song Dynasty. Now the Song Dynasty After being defeated, the Liao Kingdom came again to seek peace, which shows that Daliao's sincerity in seeking peace is still full.

Tong Guan said with a gloomy face: "A certain family still said the same thing. This matter is of great importance and a certain family cannot decide. Your envoy should go to the capital to report to the emperor." Just kidding, he went back in such a dejected manner. This is not a fight. As for Tong Guan's face, there's no need to think about being crowned king or anything like that.

The envoy clasped his fists and said, "Since the Privy Councilor said so, I will go to the capital to report to the emperor of your dynasty. Next, let's talk about the prisoners of your army in this battle. Our Liao Kingdom captured more than people of your army in this battle." , According to our emperor’s wishes, each person has one stone of food and grass, and your army only needs to pay ten thousand stones of food and grass to redeem all the prisoners.”

Tong Guan thought for a while and replied: "A certain family can agree to this for you." Although Tong Guan was very angry, his mind was still very clear. If he did not redeem these prisoners, it would be difficult for both the army and the country to explain. He only had about people. The matter of Shi Liangcao is not a big price.

The envoy nodded and said: "Okay, then please ask the Privy Councilor to clear a way for me. After I have taken care of the prisoners, I can go to the capital to report my intentions to the emperor of your dynasty."

The envoy took the note and left. A few days later, after Cai Jing received Tong Guan's letter asking for help, he immediately went to the palace to see Song Huizong.

Zhao Ji said while practicing calligraphy: "Why is Cai Aiqing here?"

Cai Jing replied: "It was Privy Tong who sent the news. I received the news from Privy Tong and knew that the matter was of great importance, so I went to the palace to report to the emperor."

Zhao Ji said in surprise: "There is news from Tong Aiqing, but there is good news for Yan Yun."

Cai Jing hesitated and said: "Yanyun has not been captured yet, and our army and the Liao army are still at war. Privy Tong said in the letter that the Liao army's resistance was strong and our army suffered heavy casualties. I hope the emperor will send more reinforcements." "

Zhao Ji nodded and said: "The Liao Kingdom has been pushed to a dead end, and it is normal for the resistance to be strong. Then send another troops to Tong Aiqing for reinforcements. Cai Aiqing, you can handle this matter."

Cai Jing clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your orders."

Zhao Ji signaled: "Come on, Cai Aiqing, come and comment on this calligraphy I wrote."

At the same time, Li Xin also received a letter from Liang Xing. After reading the letter, Li Xin sneered: "Okay, that's a good thing."

Yu Liyan rolled his eyes at Li Xin and asked, "What good thing happened again to make my husband so happy?"

Li Xin said: "This is a good thing for Madam."

Yu Liyan said excitedly: "It's also a good thing for me. Could it be that the Liao Kingdom won the war?"

Li Xin signaled: "Madam, don't get excited. You are just pregnant. Besides, you said you don't care about Liao Kingdom's affairs."

Yu Liyan thought that he already had a little life in his belly, so he sat down and said, "Husband, don't tell me. If you don't tell me, I won't let you go. Since you have said it, of course I still want it." Yes, after all, it is still my home country."

Li Xin handed the letter to Yu Liyan and said: "The Liao Kingdom did win the battle, but not with Dajin. Madam, you can read it yourself."

After reading it, Yu Liyan said calmly: "It turns out that the Song army won. I thought it was the Jin people who won."

Li Xin asked: "Madam's reaction is very dull. It seems that the Liao Kingdom's victory over the Song Army is not something to be happy about."

Yu Liyan said: "The main enemy of the Liao Dynasty is the Jin State. It is a matter of joy to defeat the Jin Army. The history of battles between our Liao Army and the Song Army has always been that we win more and lose less. Winning the Song Army is nothing." Big deal.”

Li Xin smacked his lips and said, "That means I wasn't around at that time. I'll let you see how I defeated the Kingdom of Jin later."

Yu Liyan said sarcastically: "It seems that my husband is very happy about the defeat of the Song army."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Indeed, otherwise the court will appear incompetent. The more incompetent the court appears, the better. This will also make it easier for me to take over the Song Dynasty in the future. Look, the stupid things the court has done are still to come."

Yu Liyan said thoughtfully: "It is true that the more stupid the court is, the wiser the husband will appear. But how do you plan to reply to the other thing in the letter?"

Li Xin said: "It's really time to let them come back. We can't wait any longer. Without the dedication of these people, it will be difficult for us Han people to rise in the future. They are all heroes, but when it comes to children, I don't know what happened to Hongyu." Counting the days, it’s time to give birth.”

Yu Liyan comforted him: "Don't worry, husband, Sister Hongyu will be fine, and she will definitely give birth to a healthy baby for my husband."

Li Xin sighed and said: "The Korean people reacted too slowly. They haven't noticed that there is a big problem in Jeju Island until now. I won't talk about it anymore. Madam, please rest. I'll go talk to General Zhai about something."

Yu Liyan nodded and said, "Well, husband, go ahead."

Li Xin went to Zhai Jin and said, "General Zhai, please take a look at the news I just got here."

After reading the secret message, Zhai Jin sighed: "This is really stupid."
