The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 309 Difficult to choose

The experience of the two peace envoys of the Kingdom of Jin was quickly reported back to the Kingdom of Jin. Wu Shu was a little surprised at the condition proposed by the Southern Dynasty. He instigated the former prince Zhao Xie to go to the palace through the spies lurking in the Song Dynasty to force him to accept the peace talks. Zhao Er, you must also know that you are putting on airs, and you will be able to protect your face as a "lord of benevolence and filial piety". Why are you still serious?This made him unable to bear the suspicion that Zhao Er's head had either been flooded or kicked by a donkey.

In Wu Shu's view, it was an extremely wrong approach to go south to Bianjing to capture the two emperors of the Southern Dynasty and go north.If Zhao Huan's idiot is still in power, Dajin Kingdom will give whatever it wants, not to mention the little things I want now, I'm afraid the Jurchen warriors will have herded their horses by the Yellow River long ago.But my uncle wanted to save face, so he had to abolish the two emperors of the Southern Dynasty, and set up Zhang Bangchang, a super trash, as the emperor to rule the Central Plains. This not only aroused the resistance of the Central Plains people, but also annoyed Zhao Er!

At that time, Zhao Er was forced by his brother to feign death and leave the Central Plains to retreat to the northwest. Obviously he didn't want to get involved in the Song Dynasty anymore.As a result, Da Jin Guo not only took away his parents, brothers, sisters, seven aunts and eight aunts, but also robbed their family's throne, trying to destroy their family's ancestral property.As a result, he became angry, and came out of the arena to kill all directions, and became the emperor by the way. These years, the Dajin Kingdom was cornered, and he had to bow his head to beg for peace.

If you say it like this, Zhao Er is really ungrateful, without the Dajin Kingdom, where did he get the chance to be the emperor? If you don't put Zhao Huan back, isn't it just in your mind, and save you from fighting for power and profit?But now you, Zhao Er, are in a position to be ungrateful, but you will repay your kindness with revenge.The benefactor who kept running on you who was the one who made you a scapegoat, and today he used this reason to refuse the peace talks, is really a hypocrite and a villain. Thinking of this makes Wushu very angry!

Of course, Wu Shu also knew that he didn't have any good farts on his side at the beginning. Zhang Bangchang was established as the emperor because he was worried that there would be a slightly wiser monarch in the Southern Dynasty, which would be a very big threat to the Jin Kingdom.Keeping Zhao Huan in the Kingdom of Jin and actively improving his living standards is not because the high-ranking nobles of the Kingdom of Jin headed by Wan Yanquan have really begun to show kindness, but they have already clearly recognized his political value.

When necessary, Jin Guo can push Zhao Huan to the front to block the gun and make him the puppet emperor of the Central Plains.The two Zhao brothers killed each other.Jin Guo can take the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman.This very clever idea is naturally Wu Shu's idea, because he thought that what Zhao Er was most afraid of was such a situation, so Zhao Huan had to live well and avoid all kinds of accidents.Now Zhao Er can't wait to ask for Zhao Huan.It just shows that what I think is correct.Then Zhao Huan has even greater use value.You can never give in to yourself.

But when Wu Shu thought about it, the situation was not quite right. Did he fall into Zhao Er's trick again?Zhao Er originally meant that he didn't want Zhao Huan to return to the country, but he put on a posture that he would avoid talking about everything unless Zhao Huan was released.Perhaps it is to make people mistakenly think that Zhao Huan is very important to him.Anyone who has done business knows that the more he likes something, the less he can explain it, in case the other party takes the opportunity to raise the price, unless he doesn't want to make the deal.In the eyes of the world, Zhao Er is just a shrewd businessman, how could he not know the way?Now Zhao Er is doing the opposite, directly demanding Zhao Huan forcibly, making himself mistakenly think that he can take the opportunity to 'increase the price', and he happened to mess up the deal on the grounds that the price was too high!

If he resolutely refuses to give it, it is in line with Zhao Er's unwillingness to return to the country and negotiate peace, and he can also take the opportunity to flaunt to the world how he wants to welcome his brother back. It was only because Jin Guo refused that the request failed. No, he took the opportunity to refuse the peace agreement because the Jurchen played tricks on it.As a result, the negotiations failed prematurely, and Zhao Huan had to stay in Jin Kingdom to enjoy the blessings, but Zhao Er was able to get rid of it easily with both fame and fortune!

What if Zhao Huan was first sent back according to the requirements of the Southern Dynasty to show Jin Guo's sincere attitude towards peace talks, so that the negotiations can proceed smoothly?Wu Shu was at a loss again, worried that Zhao Er's request for Zhao Huan was out of intention, and he would give it back easily, but would lose an important bargaining chip that could be used in vain.

It's not unreasonable for him to think so. Zhao Huan only has a former emperor's hat left. He himself is incompetent and employs treacherous evil.When he was in power, the Jin army went south, but did nothing, which caused the country to be ruined and the family to die, father and son to turn against each other, brothers to be at odds, the people to be displaced, and themselves to become prisoners.Even if he goes back now, the cronies of the ministers he promoted during his administration have all died and forgotten, and the rest have been taken away by Zhao Er's seizure of power, and it is almost impossible to stand up and come back to power.

On the other hand, Zhao Er has been the emperor for ten years now, and his foundation is becoming more and more stable. After several rounds of cleaning in the central and local areas, he has been replaced by his own people, and he has received the full support of the royal family headed by the emperor and queen mother.In addition, he implemented a series of new policies, which brought a lot of benefits to the people's lives. Who would rebel against him if they had enough to eat and warm clothes? More importantly, the army has always been firmly in his own hands. Overthrowing him will never be easy.

But the first emperor's "guest" in a foreign country is always a shameful thing, and it has become a sore spot that is difficult to touch in the Song Dynasty.Now that Zhao Er brought Zhao Huan back, not only would the throne not be threatened, but it could also raise his reputation to a higher level. Why would he not do such a good thing of gaining both fame and fortune?

Wu Shu turned over and over again and pondered for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a fraud in it, but in the end it was not right to let it go, and it was not appropriate not to let it go, it made him dizzy, but he still couldn't make up his mind and couldn't make up his mind.But now Da Song's attitude is resolute, and he refuses to start the next negotiation without seeing Zhao Huan, then his own peace plan will become a flower in the mirror...

"How is the battle in Liaoyang now?" After thinking for a night without any results, Wu Shu went to work in the palace with two dark circles under his eyes, and asked his clerk to arrange the chores.

"Reporting to Grand Master, this is the latest battle report sent back by Marshal Zuo!" The clerk hurriedly took out the battle report from the pile of documents and sent it.

"The Song army stopped withdrawing and began to strengthen the city defense, as if to stick to Liaoyang?!" Wu Shu said in amazement. I asked myself a question, what exactly does he want to do?

In fact, Wu Shu was not very nervous when he learned that Liaoyang Mansion was captured by the Song Army, because Liaoyang City penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin, and the Song Army dispatched only a part of the Gao army. In the absence of domestic reinforcements, they still needed to send troops. Staying in Koryo, there will not be too many troops that can be used.This determined that they could capture Liaoyang City, but they could not occupy Liaoyang City for a long time. He judged that the purpose of the Song army in this battle was to deter, harass, and destroy, and they would not stay for a long time, and they would withdraw after a while.

Therefore, before Wu Shu sent Yan Yuying to recover Liaoyang City, he specially sent someone to tell him not to fight against the Song Army. The tactics of the return route made the Song army overwhelmed by the disturbance and withdrew early.If he returns to the army, he will take advantage of his familiarity with geography to organize troops to chase down the army behind him, ambush his army in front, and take back the looted population and property.

Wanyan Yuying strictly obeyed the grand master's order, and dealt with the Song army according to his instructions. Sure enough, the Song army was overwhelmed and shrank its troops and no longer went out of the city easily.The subsequent development of the battle situation confirmed Wushu's judgment. The Song army used the time before the ice and snow melted to start retreating, but the withdrawal stopped suddenly a few days ago, and instead began to strengthen the city defenses, seemingly preparing to hold on.

Wanyan Yuying judged that the Song army was worried that they would be chased and killed by their own side when they withdrew, and they wanted to use the city to attract the attention of the enemy to cover the brigade's safe withdrawal.He thought that he should take advantage of the opportunity that the Song army in Liaoyang City had fewer troops to attack the city, annihilate the defenders and recover the city, and then pursue the retreating Song army with all their strength.At this time, the Song army had a large population and had to protect the looted property. They marched slowly and had enough time to catch up with them and try to annihilate part of the enemy to regain the population and property.

"Hey, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!" Wu Shu sighed after reading it. Wanyan Gouying's battle plan seems to be good, but it depends on who he is targeting. , the one who suffers is not necessarily who.

"Defending the city alone, what is Zhao Er's plan? Could it be that he is not afraid of being surrounded by us, and he will be trapped there and cannot go back!" Wu Shu muttered while looking at the battle report, frowning, and fell into deep thought again.

"Grand Master, is it related to the peace talks that the Song army left an army in Liaoyang?" The clerk watched as Wu Shu got up and sat down for a while, and drank more than ten cups of tea without taking it to the toilet. He couldn't help but said.

"What?! You mean it's related to the peace talks!" Wu Shu asked after listening for a while.

"Yes...the villain said it stupidly, please punish him!" The scribe was frightened by Wu Shu's expression, and stammered.

"Ha ha……"

"Why punish you, I will reward you again and promote you!" Wu Shu laughed a few times, looking at the trembling clerk who was frightened by him.

"Zhao Er wants to use Liaoyang City to make a fuss, so I'll play with him and force him to talk to us!" The clerk's unintentional words reminded Wu Shu, and he said with a smile.After finishing speaking, sit down and spread out the paper, write a letter in hand like a dragon, hand it to the letter and send it to Wanyan Gouying in Liaoyang city immediately, but the clerk didn't know what the grand master said, just looked at the grand master blankly , Thinking about which of his words made the grand master so happy, he got promoted and made a fortune like shit luck.

"Grand Master, Your Majesty is drunk again, wandering around the palace with a sharp knife, threatening to kill someone!" Wu Shu was happy for a while, and the servant in the palace hurriedly said.

"Oh, Your Majesty's illness is serious again!" Wu Shu's face darkened, what should he do if this continues... (to be continued...)
