One Piece of Song Dynasty

In October of the Jianyan year, the Jin-Qi coalition forces were divided into two groups, attacking Luzhou, Chuzhou and other places along the way, and attacking Chuzhou and Chengzhou together.

Zhao Ding worriedly said: "The Jin army is attacking Luzhou. If Luzhou meets the enemy and the entire army is annihilated, Huaixi will be in danger."

Li Xin asked: "How many days has the war between Luzhou and Chuzhou been going on?"

Zhao Ding replied: "It has been seven days since Han Shizhong reported that Haozhou and Chuzhou have fallen into enemy hands."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Send a letter to Qu Duan. His army can set off. Ask Wang Lun to send envoy Jinying again and ask Wan Yanchang whether he still wants to negotiate for peace."

Zhao Ding bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After Qu Duan received the letter, he ordered Wang De to set off. Wang De led an army of people and headed north from Xinyang to Yingchang.

After receiving the order, Wang Lun also set out for the Jinjun camp in Jiangbei. At this time, Han Shizhong was bringing a large number of generals to Dayi Town, Yangzhou to explore the terrain. Han Shizhong's horse's hooves stepped into the grass-covered marsh and almost fell off his horse. He quickly reined in his horse and retreated. He saw that the surrounding water was covered with large green grass, which was no different from the land. He immediately raised his whip in surprise and pointed: "The land of Dayi Town is full of swamps, which can be used to ambush an army."

Immediately, Han Shizhong laid ambushes in more than places according to the formation map. While the arrangements were being made, an army general came with Wang Lun and his entourage, saying that they had caught a few spies. Wang Lun stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Captain Han, I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wang Lun, and I have been ordered to go to Jinying as an envoy."

"You are Wang Lun who brought the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin back. What's wrong with you this time?" When Han Shizhong heard that Wang Lun was ordered to ask Wan Yanchang whether he still wanted to negotiate peace, he waved his whip with disdain and shouted: "Get out of here, get out of here, Governor!" I get angry when I see someone like you."

"I am a civil servant and I don't care about rude warriors." Wang Lun didn't dare to offend him and left angrily. Li Shifu was worried that Wang Lun knew the location of the ambush and all his previous efforts would be lost if it was revealed, so he quickly ordered Wang Lun to be captured. Several soldiers couldn't help but grab Wang Lun. Wang Lun was so smart that he could talk birds down from the trees with his mouth. He immediately laughed and said: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. You are just like three-year-old children playing house."

Han Shizhong was puzzled, and Wang Lun explained: "There are swamps everywhere here. How could we know that the Jin army would pass by? The governor set up an ambush here. Isn't it just waiting for the rabbit?"

"Mother is right! What can we do?" Han Shizhong was shocked, and then he said with a mysterious smile: "Yes, then please help Wang Xianggong go to the Jin camp and lead the Jin army here."

"Ah, is this officer still alive? No, no, no, no." Wang Lun was shocked when he heard this. Han Shizhong laughed and told Wang Lun about the incident without any explanation. Wang Lun complained secretly, complaining that talking too much would lead to mistakes, so he had no choice but to leave with his entourage dejectedly.

Li Shifu was worried that if Wang Lun, a gangster, failed to attract the Jin soldiers and leaked military information, he would miss important events. However, Han Shizhong did not have any doubts: "Wang Lun is a gangster, but he is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Otherwise, how can the prince He can be reused”

Wang Lun lived up to expectations. When he arrived at Jinying, he, Wu Shu, and Wan Yanchang gathered around a bonfire, eating and drinking, while accusing Wan Yanchang of breaking his promise by helping Liu Yu send troops to invade the south. Wu Shuxin said, let you warm yourself. You are still on the kang. He glared and drew his sword to kill Wang Lun. Wanyanchang stopped him and said, "Our army is going south this time. It's a long story. Let me ask you first, is Han Shizhong still there?" Yangzhou"

"No, Han Shizhong just treated me to a meal in Yangzhou city yesterday. Don't tell me, this Yangzhou food is good everywhere, but it's too sweet and I can't get used to it." Wang Lun hid behind him and lied. Without batting an eye. Wu Shu raised his sword and asked him if there were Song troops west of Yangzhou.

Wang Lun shook his head and pretended to be stupid: "I don't know. I didn't see a single trace of the Song Army on the road until I arrived at Dayi Town."

Wu Shu nodded secretly and immediately sent a heavy armored cavalry scout to explore the way to Dayi Town. The golden knight came to a large swamp covered with green grass. As he was looking around on his horse, a frog passed in front of the leading golden general's horse and jumped into the water. General Jin reined in his horse and raised his head to realize that something was wrong. A Song soldier had already jumped up from under the green grass. The big ax in his hand drew an arc in the air. With a click, General Jin and his horse were cut down. Suddenly fell into the swamp. The Song army's ambush immediately spread out, and one by one jumped out from the ambush, slashing at the Jin army with long swords and axes. The Jin army hurriedly retreated to the side, and immediately fell into the swamp.

Han Shizhong commanded the Song army to force the Jin army into the swamp. The Jin cavalry fled for their lives in the mud, but their horses could not move away. They were defeated and either fell down by the ambushing Song army or fell deeper and deeper. Moreover, the two armies were mixed in the swamp, and the Jin army's bows and swords were all unable to be used. The Song army each held a long axe, cutting people's chests with them, and carrying the horses' feet with them. Water splashed everywhere, and the Jin army's horses were like nets in the swamp. The fish and shrimps jumped around and fled in embarrassment, while the soldiers and soldiers of Song Dynasty all turned into fishermen, chasing them everywhere with big axes. After a while, all the Jin soldiers trapped in the mud were dead, and only a few Jin soldiers abandoned their horses and fled.

Wang Lun was still in the Jin army tent at this time, drinking with Wan Yanchang and Wu Shu anxiously. Wan Yanchang sighed: "Wushu and I didn't want to send troops this time, but it's a pity that I am not the only prince of Dajin."

"I wish your Majesty the king to take over the imperial court as soon as possible. When that time comes," Wang Lun bowed immediately when he saw him telling the truth. The three of them were talking and entering the alley when they suddenly saw Jin Bing, who had escaped from Dayi Town, come in covered in mud and water. When Wushu heard that hundreds of heavy armored troops had been wiped out, he immediately turned around and shouted angrily: "Wang Lun, a despicable villain, dares to assassinate me while making peace and setting up an ambush. What kind of peace is there?"

Wang Lun jumped up early and hid behind Wan Yanchang, but Wan Yanchang sat still, closing his eyes and shaking his head secretly. Wu Shu waved his sword and chased Wang Lun around Wan Yanchang. Wang Lun defended himself while circling: "Making peace and using troops are two different things. Making peace involves the future of the two countries, and using troops naturally means that they are not afraid of deceit."

"Since my troops have gone south, you, the Song Dynasty, still dare to go to war with me. Once the army is defeated and the country is destroyed, I'm afraid there will be no land left." Wu Shu threatened loudly.

Wang Lun was unceremonious: "Your Majesty, you are so scary. If Your Majesty wants peace talks, we will talk here. If you don't want to talk, I'm sorry, I won't accompany you. Just attack. I'll let Han Shizhong accompany Your Majesty in drawing. Look at me." Isn’t it true that the Song Dynasty has no ability to fight against the king and hasn’t captured Chuzhou and Luzhou yet?”

"Then how do you want to make peace?" Wu Shu was shocked by his momentum and couldn't help but ask.

Wang Lun replied: "The Huaihe River is the boundary in the east, and the status quo is maintained in the northwest. Every year I pay tribute of pieces of silver silk, which is enough."

Wu Shu asked: "How come this number is only taels?"

Wang Lun said: "Two hundred and fifty thousand is a lot less. Wasn't this two hundred and fifty thousand decided by our Supreme Emperor and the Grand Ancestor of Jin, that is, your father? Why didn't you know? His Highness was still young at that time. That's it. What happened is that when the two countries agreed to jointly destroy the Liao Dynasty, our country would transfer the tribute silver to the Liao Kingdom to Dajin, at the rate of taels per year."
