The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 178

Li Xiaoliang was anxious, but there was nothing he could do for a while. He had no chance to communicate with Yu Wenxu alone. How to pass on this information became a difficult task. The negotiation had been going on for several days, and Li Xiaoliang was very anxious.

If this news is not passed on, the army of the Jin Kingdom should be killed soon, but the Song army will not know it by then, and it will be a big trouble.

Li Xiaoliang has been secretly waiting for the opportunity.

On the other hand, Yu Wenxu had already passed back the conditions proposed by Jin Guo to the imperial court.

Such a large sum of money naturally caused an uproar in the court.

"The Kingdom of Jin is insatiably greedy. I can't afford so many old coins and silk!" Li Gang was the first to speak.

"However, if it is possible to take back the Sixteen States of Youyun in this way, it would not be a bad thing." However, Zhu Shengfei, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said that this war also requires money, and it may not be possible to win it. Sound, ten thousand taels of gold, when the time comes to take back the Youyun Sixteen States by force, the money spent may not necessarily be less than the ransom.

There was a lot of noise in the court hall of the Song Dynasty. Some supported the redemption with money, and some did not support it. But in the final analysis, they still wanted to redeem the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. As for those who did not support it, it was nothing more than too much money. , but it is still supported.

"Your Majesty, the so-called exorbitant asking price and paying back the money on the ground, the Kingdom of Jin is asking for an exorbitant price. We can completely suppress the amount of money, and then explain to the Kingdom of Jin that I will hand over the ransom to Jin every year. country, this will not have any impact on our national strength." Li Gang stood up and said.

All the cheap things have been taken by you.

Although Zhao Huan knew in his heart that Jin Guo would definitely not agree to this matter, the peace talks should indeed be discussed in this way. If Jin Guo had any bubbles in his head, this matter might have already been concluded.

This is already the best news since the negotiations between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Because of this news, the city of Bianjing was very lively.

On the fifth day, Li Xiaoliang finally found a chance to be alone with Yu Wenxu. Actually, he was not alone, but Wanyan Zonghan was not there, so naturally there were other envoys of the Kingdom of Jin beside him.

Li Xiaoliang and Yu Wenxu continued to negotiate according to the content explained by Wanyan Zonghan, but there was no difference at the beginning.

During the rest of the negotiations, Li Xiaoliang and Yu Wenxu sat in the living room. Both of them were Han Chinese. Naturally, they chatted for a while, and there were quite a few topics in common.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the yard.

Li Xiaoliang was overjoyed, and said to Yu Wenxu beside him: "The north wind is very strong today!"

Yu Wenxu, as the chief envoy of the peace talks with Jin Guo, is naturally not an ordinary person. Seeing the expression on Li Xiaoliang's face and what Li Xiaoliang said at this time, Yu Wen humbly "squeaked" inwardly. No, this is Jin Guo. The country wants to use troops against Song.

After this idea appeared, Yuwen was anxious in his heart. After all, Song Guochaotang was still actively preparing for the peace talks between the two countries, but Jin Guo wanted to go south to attack Song again.

He must hurry up and pass this news on.

The two continued to negotiate, but Yu Wenxu's next negotiation was obviously a little absent-minded. He was just tired of coping, but he was thinking about how to pass the news on.

After Li Xiaoliang passed on the news, he seemed to have finally lifted off the big rock that was pressing on him, but he felt relaxed, and the subsequent negotiations became much more harmonious.

Finally, it was the end of the negotiation on this day, and Yu Wenxu immediately ordered his people to rush back to Bianjing without stopping to pass this crucial news to the court. It's troublesome.

Although Wanyan Zonghan did not participate in the negotiations, there were still many envoys from the Kingdom of Jin beside him. Naturally, these envoys were there to supervise Li Xiaoliang and Yu Wenxu. Naturally, Wanyan Zonghan did not trust Li Xiaoliang very much. When Wanyan Zonghan came back, Immediately ordered someone to inquire about the whole process of today's negotiation.

The north wind was very urgent today, so these words were naturally relayed to Wanyan Zonghan's ears verbatim.

Wanyan Zonghan is such a smart person. As soon as he heard it at this time, he knew that Li Xiaoliang was passing the news to Yu Wenxu. He immediately ordered someone to arrest Li Xiaoliang, and then came to Yu Wenxu's residence in person. After counting the number of people, it was discovered that a guard beside Yu Wenxu was no longer there.

"Lord Yuwen, I don't know where your bodyguard went?" Wanyan Zonghan stared at Yu Wenxu and said with an unkind expression.

"He had something to do at home, so he asked me for leave, and I allowed him to go home to visit his relatives." Yu Wenxu was calm at this moment, and after passing the news on, he no longer panicked.

"When did that person leave?" Wanyan Zonghan asked the guard next to him. When Yu Wenxu came to Daming City, he was naturally under heavy surveillance by Jin Guo.

"It's been about an hour since I left." Said a guard next to him.

"Hurry up and order someone to go out of the city with a fast horse, and I will definitely chase him back." Wanyan Zonghan ordered.

"Haha, he's already gone, you can't chase him back." Yu Wenxu said with some complacency at this moment.

"Hmph, angering this general now will not do you any good!" Wanyan Zonghan sneered, at this moment he already hated Li Xiaoliang to death in his heart, if it wasn't for him, then Song Jun must have been kept in the dark.

Yu Wenxu didn't care about it, and said: "You, Jin Kingdom, betrayed your promise and wanted to negotiate with our court on the surface, but secretly assembled a large number of troops to invade and occupy our country. This is not a gentleman's action."

"You Han people believe in Confucius, but we don't believe in it. Besides, soldiers are deceitful. This is what is said in your art of war. Now we are just using the way of others to fight against others. " Wanyan Zonghan said with a sneer: "My Emperor Taizong died because of your Song army's sneak attack. If you don't wipe out your Song country, it will be difficult to comfort his spirit in heaven."

Yu Wenxu said tit-for-tat: "It has always been the Kingdom of Jin who provokes everywhere, but now it is blaming our dynasty for the crime. If it weren't for the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin coming to the city, how could our dynasty send out surprise soldiers to draw salary from the bottom of the pot? Your Majesty, your majesty is powerful and powerful, and enriches the people." As for Qiang Bing, the weak Song you knew before is no longer what it used to be, I advise you to return to your mistakes, otherwise you will be the ones who will suffer."
