The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 117 The First Peace Talk (Part 10)
Let's talk about the Jin army on the other side, when they heard that the Xixia army had suddenly withdrawn, they were furious on the spot, and Wanyan Zonghan slapped the table angrily.

"The Xixia Kingdom dares to be so bold and do such things as being allied." Wanyan Zonghan said angrily.

Wanyan Zongwang sneered and said, "Li Shunqian from the Western Xia Kingdom sent news that an army of 5 people from the Song Kingdom had suddenly besieged Xingqing Mansion. In order to understand the siege of Xingqing Mansion, the troops were withdrawn urgently."

"Absurd, how could the Song Army still have an army of 5 people? Moreover, even if there were really 5 people, how did they sneak into Xingqing Mansion from under our noses? ?” Wanyan Zonghan said through gritted teeth, feeling that he was being played by the Xixia Kingdom this time.

Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said: "It is very likely that some secret agreement was reached between Xixia and the Song Dynasty, which prompted Xixia to withdraw its troops."

The war has reached this point. In fact, Wanyan Zonghan has already understood that the Song Kingdom is no longer the Song Kingdom in Zhao Ji's era. At that time, the Jin Kingdom could easily destroy the Song Kingdom. But now, the two sides are equally powerful and want to annex Song Guo, difficult.

"In this situation, our army seems to have the only way to go." Wanyan Loushi said at this time: "Right now there is a serious shortage of food and grass. If we don't retreat at this time, we are afraid that the Song army will fight back and we The army can't handle it."

Wanyan Zongwang sneered and said, "Then it seems that this trip to the south ended in failure."

"Not necessarily. Now that the envoys of the Song Kingdom are in the camp, we can ask for a huge amount of old coins, so that the Song Kingdom can fill in all the money we spent on this war." Wan Yanchang said at this time.

"This money can be filled in, even if this person is dead, I'm afraid I can't fill it in even if I want to." Hearing what Wanyan Chang said, Wanyan Yiyin couldn't help but sarcastically said that he was saying Yan Chang led the army twice and was defeated twice, losing nearly [-] soldiers. This kind of record is unique in the history of Jin Kingdom.

Wan Yanchang heard Wanyan Yiyin's sarcasm, directly patted the table, and asked loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wanyan Yiyin was not afraid of him, leaned back with a smile, and said, "What? Don't you allow others to tell you what you do?"

The reason why Wan Yanchang fell into Liu Qi's trap at the beginning was because he was eager to prove himself, so he rushed forward in a hurry, and finally lost the battle.

"Okay, what time is it, you're still arguing, why are you arguing?" Wanyan Zonghan said loudly, which seemed to stop the quarrel between the two.

"Let's talk about it, everyone, what should we do next?" Wanyan Zonghan said after scanning the crowd.

Wanyan Zongwang curled his lips, and said: "The way forward is blocked, is there any other way to go besides retreating now?"

Everyone was silent, obviously agreeing with Wanyan Zongwang's statement.

"Since this is the case, let's try our best to seek benefits from the Song Kingdom during the peace talks. Come here and send the Song Kingdom's envoy Wang Lun to come." Wan Yan Zonghan said to the messenger.

Soon, Wang Lun was brought over.

Wang Lun went into the camp to see, yelling, there were quite a few people, the whole camp was full of people, except for Wanyan Zongbi who was stationed in Luoyang, Xijing, the rest of the generals of the Kingdom of Jin were all in the tent.

As soon as Wang Lun entered, he was immediately saluted by everyone. The generals of the Kingdom of Jin stared at Wang Lun unkindly, as if they were going to swallow Wang Lun alive.

In fact, Wanyan Zonghan also did this on purpose, and his purpose was to frighten Wang Lun. If this is a cowardly person, it would be strange if he was not frightened by such a group of vicious people staring at him.

But who is Wang Lun? Although he is a civil servant, he is a well-known gangster in Bianjing. Generals of the country, he is not afraid of danger.

Seeing that everyone was sitting and he was the only one standing, Jin Jun didn't intend to give him a seat. Wang Lun went directly to the last Jin general, pulled him up, and put The chair was raised, pulled to his side, and sat down.

This scene stunned the many golden generals present. You must know that none of the envoys from the Song Dynasty were submissive. Wanyan Zonghan has already used this trick to deal with the envoys of the Song Dynasty several times. It is really tried and tested. When they first met, they had already overwhelmed each other in aura.

But this time it was obviously impossible.

"Are you the envoy of the Song Dynasty?" Wanyan Zonghan asked while sitting in the center with a big horse and a golden knife.

"Exactly, I am Wang Lun, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty. I was ordered by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate peace with your army." Wang Lun said neither humble nor overbearing.

Wan Yan Zonghan said: "Does your emperor want us to retreat?"

Wang Lun nodded and said: "The Jin and Song Dynasties, cooperation will benefit both, and war will harm both. Between the two countries, the overall situation should be the most important thing."

Wanyan Zonghan snorted coldly, and said: "Song and Jin are originally allies, but your country is treacherous and deserves to be punished."

Wang Lun shook his head and said: "The two countries were originally allies and fought against the Liao Dynasty together. The Communist Party of China and the Emperor Jin Taizu agreed that after the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures originally occupied by the Liao Kingdom would be owned by the Song Dynasty. Emperor Taizong blatantly tore up the covenant, invaded the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, and betrayed the covenant, which is really unrighteous. , will surely fail.”

Wanyan Zonghan didn't expect that Wang Lun would be so sharp-tongued. He hadn't waited to scold the Song Dynasty, but it was good for him to scold Jin Guo first.

"Bold!" Wan Yanchang slapped the table and said, "You are turning right into black. The sixteen prefectures of Youyun were originally captured by my Kingdom of Jin. The two countries agreed that Song would attack the sixteen prefectures of Youyun in Liao, but you However, they were unable to attack for a long time, as soon as my Dajin’s iron cavalry arrived, all the cities in the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures surrendered, and the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures were brought by Jin Guo with our own ability.”

Wang Lun was also quite helpless about this. At that time, Tong Guan led 30 troops to attack the Liao Kingdom, hoping to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, but he did not expect to attack for more than half a month without any progress, and the Song army suffered heavy casualties.

But as soon as the Jin army arrived, all the cities in the sixteen prefectures of Youyun immediately opened their cities and surrendered. This is really a kind of irony for the Song army.

"Having said that, the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures have been redeemed by our court with money. According to the agreement, the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures should be returned to our court." Wang Lun said.
