The struggle of the reborn prince

Song Xia's scramble for the Northwest Region is not only related to the relationship between the two countries, but also to the countries of the Western Regions.If Xixia loses not only its land but also its political status by ceding land for peace, it will change from a big country that can compete with Song and Liao to a small regional hegemony, and the Song Dynasty will become the hegemon of the northwest region again, so it must be considered Form an alliance with Xia to fight against the Song Dynasty, and still pay tribute to the Song Dynasty; if the Song Dynasty wins a big victory and still abandons the land and the yearly gift, then the Song Dynasty is still a paper tiger who can only bluff, so don't be afraid of him.

The following peace talks will determine the political direction of the Western Regions, which will inevitably attract the attention of all countries. Therefore, the city gathers the detailed work of various countries. Their main purpose is to obtain first-hand information, so that they can prepare for adjusting the relationship between countries in advance. Therefore, they used all means at all costs to obtain the necessary information, to exert influence on the peace talks, and to make proposals beneficial to their own side.But the relationship between the countries is not so harmonious. They can pretend to be snakes in the open, but secretly they have their own ulterior motives. They completely tore off the mask of hypocrisy and set off a bloody storm. Lingzhou City has become a vanity fair for all countries to seek benefits!

Zhao Tong's attitude is that as long as you don't threaten the interests of Song Dynasty, don't involve military and political secrets, don't infringe on the lives of garrison troops, don't disturb the order of Lingzhou City, and don't harm innocent people, he will adopt a policy of turning a blind eye and closing one eye. Those of you who beat you and kill you are all dog-eat-dog things anyway, so don't bother with them.But Zhao Tong didn't care whether it was laissez-faire, he sent the intelligence department, the military intelligence department and the military law team to monitor these spies. First, he could find out the other party's intentions; second, he could grasp their whereabouts; third, he could get some information he needed. .

Although aggressively sneaking into Lingzhou City is just everyone's guess.But everyone dare not take it lightly.This kind of thing is only in case, and the ministries immediately started investigating.No one has ever seen Dou Duo, even his height, age, and ethnicity are unclear. There is only one clue of "love to eat fish".

Li Jun, Jiang Fei, and Zhao Zhong got together to discuss. After careful analysis, they concluded that it was impossible for Aggressive to come to assassinate alone. Even if he came alone, he would need the support of intelligence. He would not be so stupid as to be alone. Holding a knife like a gangster waiting to chop people on the street; another he needs a safe place to stay, although the hotel is convenient.But it is also not conducive to concealing his identity. The hotel is the most closely inspected and easily monitored place, and it is easy to be exposed, so he can only hide among the people.Especially those party members who have no time to escape. . .

The ten-day period of the truce expired, and Xixia sent people to ask for an extension of three days, but Zhao Tun flatly refused, and sent troops across the river to bombard Shunzhou on the second day after the expiration, and occupied Jingzhou again. Send troops to intercept, and at the same time send people to meet Zhao Tun. After all the good words, the Song army returned to Hedong.But according to reports from insiders, in order to get the Song army to withdraw.Xixia sent Prince Yan [-] shi of grain, [-] sheep, [-] horses from Xiliang, gold and silver are worthless, and asked for a three-day grace period!

Although Zhao Tama's actions were resolved peacefully, everyone knew that this would only make Li Qianshun more jealous of the prince, and he would kill him quickly, and the investigation of the aggressive matter had not yet been resolved, which made several people even more anxious. On the one hand, they could only Let the prince stay at home as much as possible.Reduce going out, after all, it is safer at home than outside; the other party stepped up its work and conducted a large-scale raid on the Xixia spies who had sneaked into Lingzhou City, destroying their intelligence network; There is no residence.For the displaced persons who did not have more than two guarantors, they all found places for them to spend the winter.Screening.

The matter has become vigorous and vigorous, and everyone understands that it is impossible for an old Jianghu like Duo Duo to be recruited. All he can do is to cut off his connection with Xingzhou, cut off his channels for obtaining information, and play a role in knocking mountains and shaking tigers. I hope He retreated despite the difficulties.And the way of finding people with fish did not work out. People from the Military Intelligence Division pretended to be Song Junbuying and looked for fish everywhere, trying to get some clues from them, but they returned in vain.

Did Duo Duo never go to Lingzhou City at all, or did he quit his hobby?Just when everyone doubted their original judgment, an accidental incident turned things around, and things still started because of fish.After the news spread that the Song army collected fish at a high price, two boys saw the business opportunity. They had no fish at home, but there were rivers and lakes in Lingzhou City. Although they were frozen, they couldn't get through. The fish is also the best to catch.They took tools to dig ice and fish, and prepared to make a small fortune.

The two chose the fishing place in the old Royal Forest Garden. Not to mention fishing in the past, their legs would be broken if they looked at it too much. After the Song army broke through the city, no one took care of it.Not to mention that these two boys really know how to choose a place, the party members don’t eat fish, and the fish in the lake have never been caught, so how many are there? You don’t need to dig a hole, and the fish jump out by themselves!

For two days in a row, these two people came back with a full load every day, and they naturally earned a lot of money, but on the third day, they encountered business snatchers and saw someone digging ice for fishing there. The first-served rule wanted to drive people away, but was beaten up by that person. As a result, they caught fish and each had a little finger chopped off.The two were so angry that they gathered a group of people to seek revenge. When the soldiers patrolling the street saw these people holding guns and sticks, they immediately stopped them and sent them to the law enforcement team.

The members of the law enforcement team are all nervous about fish now. When they heard that it was a fish-related incident, they immediately reported it. Zhao Zhong asked it himself. How can someone with his head and butt be arbitrarily judged by someone's fingers? This is clearly a trick of the Jianghu people, and he thinks of the aggressiveness of being a reckless person who has been immersed in the Jianghu for many years, so it is natural to act like this.

Zhao Zhong immediately summoned people to Linyuan to arrest him, and at the same time notified Li Jun, but the person had long since disappeared. After searching, he found traces of people living in a hut where the soldiers guarding Linyuan used to live, scattered outside the house. With some fish bones and some broken paper.After Li Jun got the report, he also led people to rush there, inspected the scene carefully again, and questioned the two parties involved. After splicing together the broken pieces of paper, it turned out to be a map of the West City, which clearly marked the location of the government office and the surrounding defenses. Condition.His judgment was the same as Zhao Zhong's, the aggressiveness was in Lingzhou City, and the target was the prince.

This time, he failed to catch aggressiveness, but it was not in vain. It was confirmed that aggressiveness was nearby, and through the description of the two people, he drew a picture of aggressiveness, and grasped his age, height and other basic information.But they also felt the crisis, the peace talks are imminent, the prince can't always hide at home, once he goes out, he will create an opportunity for his opponent to assassinate, and now the aggressiveness has disappeared like a shooting star in the sky .

. . . . . .

The first one to return to Lingzhou City was Jianxi who returned to Beijing to give gifts. He brought back the emperor's handwritten letter, a large number of rewards, and the winter clothes sewn by the empress.

After resting after seeing the happy news, they reported to the lord the news obtained by the Jingzhong party and the changes in the court, as well as the attitude of the court towards the Western Expedition. But they also had to admit that Zhao Tong had a far-sighted vision. The government and the public praised him as a hero.

"The higher you hold it, the more painful it will be when you fall it!" After hearing this, Zhao Tun just said this lightly. There was no excitement on his face, but there was more worry, because he knew that killing people in this world doesn't have to be with a knife. There is a trick of 'boosting and killing'!

The next person who arrived in Lingzhou City was Cai You, the chief envoy of the peace talks, and his team. He waited from early autumn to late winter, and it can be said that the flowers were all withered. Then he got the imperial decree and rushed to Lingzhou from Taiyuan through wind and snow. It happened that when they first entered Lingzhou, they met Tong Guan, another deputy envoy, so they rode to Lingzhou City together.Cai You is alright, with a hundred entourages and staff and two guards commanded by the imperial guards; Tong Guan is amazing, only his pro-army Jie Shengjun has more than [-] people, what he knows is to negotiate, no Those who knew it thought they were here to make room for Zhao Tun!

Zhao Tong was also very enthusiastic about the arrival of these two 'old friends'. Not only did he send the generals of the Song army stationed in Lingzhou headed by Zhao Ren to pick them up with a guard of honor, but he also arranged for them the buildings and the Jing. Wei, but Cai You, the chief envoy, didn't appreciate it and insisted on living with Tong Guan.Zhao Tong couldn't resist, so he found a foreign residence of a prince in Xixia in the city as the official residence of the two, and vacated a barracks for the two guards to live in.

Before the peace talks started, people with a discerning eye could see that the three were at odds. Cai You and Tong Guan were obviously in the same group, and they isolated Prince Yan.Everyone knows that the prince doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. As soon as these two people came, he gave the prince a big chicken nest neck. Everyone was worried about the prince's violent temper. Don't worry about the peace talks before the start. The three of them will do it first, let Xixia Benefited from it, others saw the joke.

But Zhao Tun's performance was unexpected, not only did he not shake the face of those two, but he also prepared a reception banquet in the camp to cleanse them up and show the friendship of the landlord.In terms of official rank, Zhao Tuo, Tong Guan and Cai You are all Taiwei, and the three of them are comparable; in terms of rank, Zhao Tuo is the first rank of the official residence, and the other two are also Kaifu Tong Sanyi, with the same rank as envoys, and they are equally difficult. But when it comes to titles, Zhao Tun is a prince, and the two are just 'gongs', a lower rank than him.But at this time, Tong Guan and Zhao Tong were both foreign ministers and deputy envoys, and Cai You was an official in the capital, the official envoy appointed by the government, so the two let him take the main position, but Cai You was very unusable, as if sitting on pins and needles. . .
