Shao Song - Vol 2.3 Chapter 18

In the afternoon, the Hutuo River is sunny and the spring breeze is blowing. If it weren’t for the dense queues of corpses outside Zhending City and the turbulent waters of the Hutuo River, many broken flags and bodies would appear from time to time. I’m afraid it’s hard to imagine. The day before yesterday, just across the river, a battle broke out that determined the centuries-old national fortune of the two great nations.

The atmosphere was a little bit tense under the wind-sweeping Dragon Dragon, because Zhao Guanjia, who was dressed in casual clothes, had been looking up at the Dragon Dragon above her head in a daze, which attracted many people to look up together, and also caused many people to dare not look up.

“It’s time to take a wash.” After a long time, Zhao Jiu lowered his head, and pointed to Shao Chengzhang, who was on the side of Long Zhu on the top of his head, and said. “It’s a bit hard… the hole should be patched up.”

It is Shao Chengzhang who has always been known for his calmness and seriousness. At this time, he couldn’t help but stunned, and then he hurriedly responded.

After explaining the matter, Zhao Jiu, who was sitting on the horse, looked at the group of people standing in front of his arms, and finally looked at the head of the person: “You are the wrong view? Jin Taizu Wanyan Agu hit the sixth son. ?”

“The descendant is the Jian Lu Guan, ranked sixth, and the Datong Mansion stayed in front.” Like many people behind him, Jian Lu Guan finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart, and then hesitated for a moment. Surrounded by countless soldiers, he bowed again. “I’m here to meet your Majesty today, please for…”

“No king?” Zhao Jiu obviously didn’t care about these understandings, just frowned. “Why do I remember that the Kingdom of Jin wanted to enshrine the king a few years ago?”

“Yes.” The interrupted Jian Luguan hurriedly responded in Chashou. “So that your Majesty will know that this is true, but at that time it was to gather the hearts of the people everywhere. The eldest brother of Jiangren told Jiangren at that time… Our brothers should not take the title of others.”

“It does make sense.” Zhao Jiu nodded, disapprovingly. “But it should also be named, emphasizing the authority of your three brothers among the brothers, right? Your brothers must have more than a dozen…”

This sounded a bit like questioning the weight of Lu Guan, so the sixth prince himself didn’t know how to reply.

But fortunately, the official in front of him did not entangle the matter, but quickly got to the topic: “Yu Lu Guan, I actually didn’t want to come today, but I came later, do you know why?”

“Your Majesty is merciful.” As the royal family who grew up after the founding of the country, although he is not on par with the current leader of the Kingdom of Jin, he still has the basic cultural level, and the other party did not let him kneel down forcibly, so he said The top is extremely soft.

“It’s not a benevolent forgiveness. I don’t want to come, because the day before yesterday and after the war, I was a little bit mentally ill… Think about it, after ten years of hard work, I’ve almost gotten the courage. Now that things happen, I can almost entrust all the important things to me. The few marshals of, and then lie high behind, you can sit and watch the sweeping situation… of course it seems a little empty.” After that, Zhao Jiu also pointed to Zhending City not far away. There, Han Shizhong’s Dazhen had already taken him. A soldier wearing a bronze mask entered the city. “To tell you, I wrote a fan of the empty man yesterday… Finally, I felt ashamed and tore it again.”

Xiao Luguan was speechless for a while, but could only bite the bullet and praise: “Your Majesty is so Yaxing.”

“And come here again today, one is because you are sincere and saved a lot of things for me.” Zhao Jiu ignored the other party, but continued to calmly explain in the direction of Zhending City. “You must know that since Taiyuan, the gunpowder here has been insufficient. It is estimated that it will be the bombing of another Yanjing city. I am definitely reluctant to use it here in Zhending, and there is so much in Zhending city. Storage…In such a situation, you are willing to surrender with li, of course I have to reciprocate. In addition, there is another reason, but the accompanying Lu Xianggong, who was exposed to the rain and watched the battle the day before, was lying in bed again. His body has been since the Northern Expedition. Insufficient day by day, I am afraid that he will be delayed from returning north to Yanjing…Before Song Jin went to war, he was the official envoy of Yanshan Taoism.”

These words sounded sincere and serious, but when I heard them from Xiao Luguan’s side, they seemed to be directly discussing the terms and conditions.

In other words, the gunpowder thing, Zhao Guanjia said that how much he has is one thing, but Jin Guo dare not believe it is another thing; then he and the Lu Xianggong have a kind of friendship between monarchs and ministers, I am afraid that only the two of them know… Only two things directly talked about Yanjing, but it made people have to take it seriously.

After all, even if the root cause of the war between the two countries lies in Yanshan Road, it is also the core area that Song State has won after the war but has not yet won…No matter from which point of view, it is exactly the core condition for negotiating peace… From the perspective of today’s surrender, since we are preparing to surrender and have peace talks, we have already acquiesced to this option in my heart.

It’s just that the default is the default, but you can’t recognize it…Because that is the capital city, Qilu Guan is not qualified to make promises, and it is even more reasonable to do its best to maintain and preserve Yanjing.

Of course, all the surrenders were lowered, the refutation was invalid, and then temporarily listening to Zhao Guan’s conditions is always correct.

“Officials!” As soon as he thought of this, the Tao Lu Guan on the ground hurriedly took out the words that he had prepared long ago. “Yanjing is the capital of our country. It is not for me to stay in Datong, who has lost my station, to speak…”

“I know.” Zhao Jiu waved his hand impatiently. “Xu Lu Guan… I have never expected you to bring about any real peace talks, nor did I expect to get what I want with my lip service… But isn’t it what you want to talk about? Let’s listen to it. Listen to how much money I have, and where is my original intention… so that you can have a determination when necessary in your country who can really manage things.”

“Yes.” Jian Lu Guan became more relaxed, and Jin Guo’s civil and martial arts, who were cautiously standing behind him, were more relieved, because this official family was really happy, and there really was no intention of embarrassing them.

“Then listen carefully.” Zhao Jiu continued to speak, but his tone was suddenly serious. “Don’t interrupt without authorization.”

And Jianlu thought about it for a while, after all, he once again led the Jin Guowen and martial arts behind him to bow his hands, and then stood up and crossed his hands respectfully.

“One.” Zhao Jiu sat on the horse, not looking at each other, but calmly said while looking at the open space in front of him. “The war started because of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the Kingdom of Jin must withdraw from the south of Yanshan… This is the fundamental one.”

Everyone around was speechless, only the dragon on top of the head was hunting and sounding, and it was in harmony with the water of the Hutuo River next to it.

“Second, Eastern Liaoning and Western Liaoning have been directly under the Central Plains since ancient times… Shun is divided into five towns and 12 prefectures, among which Yiwulu Mountain in Beizhen is in Western Liaoning… This is the real reason for giving up since ancient times.” Zhao Jiu glanced at it. Yan Lu Guan, whose eyes suddenly changed color, looked at Liu Yan who did not know when he closed his eyes and continued to speak calmly. “Therefore, the original Zhongjing Road of Liao State, and the thirty-eight prefectures south of Huanglong Mansion on Xijing Road, must be returned together.”

Jian Lu Guan was already in his throat at this time, but like many Zhending Mansion’s civil and military soldiers behind him, even though he was shocked, he was speechless because of the official’s explicit warning not to interrupt in advance.

“The third.” Zhao Jiu pointed at Yelu, who stood silently beside him, with his hand. “I am also going to take back the land of Yinshan Mountain and return it to Shaanxi Road. Instead, I am going to establish a Khitan Autonomous Road around Linhuang Mansion… The first managerial envoy I has appointed, that is, General Yelu Yujian… The hometowns of the Khitan and Xi peoples east of the big pine forest are your Linhuangfu Road.”

“The minister is grateful.” Yelu didn’t hesitate to see, kneeling and kowtow to thank you, and some of the Khitan people around him also knelt directly.

But Luguan’s face became paler.

“Fourth.” Zhao Jiu nodded towards Yelu Yusi, motioned to the other side to get up, and continued to speak calmly. “The gold, silver and population looted in Jingkang must be returned.”

At this point, Zhao Guanjia stretched its feet slightly, causing Lu Guan and others to think that their words were exhausted, and they moved slightly for a while.

But soon, as Yelu Yu saw and waited for the Khitan people to stand up, the official continued to say: “The four above are all about how to eliminate wars, and they are all foreign affairs for Jin Guo… But Jin Guo thinks To continue, it is not only about ending this battle, but also about rebuilding domestic affairs and returning to the Chinese system… Therefore, in addition to the other four, there are four more.”

Jian Luguan’s face was pale. Although he still didn’t dare to speak, he couldn’t help looking back angrily to look at Hong Ya. However, Hong Ya faced him with a calm expression, which in turn made the sixth prince flustered for a while, and then lowered his head again. Come listen.

“First of all, Jin Guoxu and Da Song have re-established their names…” At this point, Zhao Jiu sighed. “My eldest son fled in Jingkang and was directly scared to death by the army. If he is alive, he will be no less than seven or eight years old from your country lord. Therefore, what I mean is, why not let him replace this son and become me. Where’s his son? When he comes of age next year, he can still be like Eastern and Western Mongolia. He will come to me personally and let me crown him personally…and only in this way can I persuade my marshals and generals not to always think about going straight. Huining Mansion, ploughing the courtyard and sweeping holes or something.”

Jian Lu Guan was like falling into an ice cave, but he didn’t respond much.

“Secondly, the Kingdom of Jin must abide by the ritual system… Since it is a country of father and son, it must obey the dispatch to sweep the north for me and the Song Dynasty.” Zhao Jiu continued to make a conclusive statement. “One more time, the system will continue to complete the sinicization… Therefore, without my permission, it is not allowed to make the ruling prince and the ruling prime minister easier without my permission.”

Having said this, Zhao Jiu finally looked at Xia Chu Lu Guan: “Specifically, you must be the sixth prince to inherit your third brother’s title of King Jin and participate in the important affairs of the military state of the governor, and Qin Hui, Hong Ya, The aspect of the three of Wanyan Xiyin should also be ensured.”

Jian Lu Guan was a little dazed, and Hong Ya behind him also looked up in amazement, dumbfounded, actually a little eager to try.

“Finally.” Zhao Jiu paused, and then went on to say a word. “You must kill Wushu before you can make peace!”

What Zhao Jiu responded to was a long silence and countless heavy breaths.

“I’m finished.” Zhao Jiu waited for a while, and finally turned around to face each other. “Sixth Prince… what do you think?”

It may be that the amount of information is too large, and it took a long time for Luguan to digest, before he said the natural words: “The official…the descendant…I think the official has eight points inside and outside, which is too harsh.”

“Now and then, you were more demanding in Jingkang. At least I didn’t think about wanting you to exterminate the Wanyan clan? I also left your Jurchen ancestor land and the Shangjingdao land around the old city of Ningfu, which is generous enough. “Zhao Jiu was serious.

When Lu Guan was depressed, he was speechless.

“Of course, I also know that the battle of the day before yesterday has not spread out…it must be that the corpse is buried here, the escaped person has been pursued, the surrender has been dealt with properly, the rest is complete, the news has also spread, and it has completely shaken the world, you too Only when you know what you have left can you really consider the matter of peace… and I have already said that I have never expected to use words to determine the universe.” Zhao Jiu turned his eyes to Luguan and looked at Luguan. The large group of people behind them pretending to be dead said. “But I hope you understand what my original intention is… When your escaped soldiers are captured, when your last tens of thousands of new troops are defeated, and when Yanjing is captured by our imperial army. At that time, you might as well stop and think about my eight internal and external articles today, and see if I can accept them? As long as you are willing to accept them in full, you can come to talk to me at any time…Of course, at that time, I said that I had to change it.”

Jian Luguan didn’t say a word, just bowed his head and wept.

“So what about you?” Zhao Jiu knew that this person was evading, and he didn’t bother to pay attention to it, but continued to confront the crowd behind him. “Which one of you has any words?”

“Your Majesty.” Just when most of the people learned that the Sixth Prince did not say a word, one of them suddenly walked out, and he was a pale-faced master slave. “If the four princes are here, they will definitely agree with the negotiation… Your Majesty is afraid that it is a misunderstanding!”

br/> “No misunderstanding!”

Zhao Jiu raised his voice and sighed. “This matter has nothing to do with Xu He forbidding peace, but saying that Wushu goes from Huai to Nanyang, from Nanyang to Yaoshan, from Yaoshan to Hedong, from Hedong to Jiou… That’s a strange man…so it sounds nice, it means that this person is not dead, and I am uneasy! If it is ugly, it means that after so many battles, I will always kill people!”

At this point, Zhao Jiufu scanned all the surrenders and reiterated: “I just want him to die… to negotiate a peace, you will kill, if not, I will spontaneously send troops to kill!”

Everyone was completely silent.

“Let’s go!” Zhao Jiu stood up suddenly, brushed his sleeves, and then headed directly to Zhending City. There, Han Shizhong had led the Imperial Left Army to control it properly.

Under the dragon, everyone hurried to catch up, while the six princes of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Lu Guan, the crowd of fifty or sixty descendants did not dare to neglect and were ready to catch up in a hurry.

However, after taking two steps, Zhao Jiu recovered his head and looked back coldly: “Sixth Prince… I let you go, not to let you go into the city with me… but to say, since it’s over, I might as well return to Yanjing early and take my inside and outside. Eight articles are going to report.”

Jian Luguan and the others were dumbfounded, only then did they realize that the other party was actually going to let them go? In fact, it’s not that Lu Guan was wronged, but Hong Ya, who was still stunned last night, was stunned… but he didn’t dare to say a word.

“Hurry up!” Zhao Jiu urged at last. “You want to see me today, but there are two things, one is offering the city to survive; the other is to talk about peace with me in place of the kingdom of gold… Adding the two, I should have let you go early… Only the warhorse cherishes it, but it is one. Even the horse can’t be with you, and it’s self-seeking; the army in the city can’t easily let it go, so don’t think too much.”

After finishing speaking, the official set off without looking back. The surrounding generals, sergeants, and nearby ministers also followed one after another… After a while, there were only a few soldiers who kept coming and going in the place where the river was surrendered, but they were escorting the Zhending descending army. of.

Jian Luguan and others still did not dare to move at first. After waiting for a long time, they were sure that no one would pay any attention. Then, they bypassed Zhending City in a daze and headed to Xinle to the north… It was Hong Ya who hesitated for a long time and saw Sure enough, no one paid any attention to himself, so he had to stomped his feet and gritted his teeth to keep up.

Not to mention, after bypassing Zhending City and making sure to escape to heaven, Zhending descended about fifty or sixty people. Although there was no horse, all of them were as vigorous as flying. They came to the north of Zishui that evening, but Regardless of fatigue, he hurriedly searched for the bridge and crossed the river, and then temporarily relaxed.

Immediately, everyone found a small village on the riverside that was still empty. Then they invited the six princes to sit high, and then listened to the dispatch of the reluctant assistant Hong Yahong, who made a fire while trying to find some pottery in the village. Pot, prepare to boil some hot water, rest for a while, and then continue to work hard, tonight, I will cross the Shahe River again and arrive at Xinle.

No matter what, it’s always wonderful not to be a prisoner and continue to be a master.

However, just as everyone started to boil the water, all of a sudden, horseshoes were bursting, and nearly a hundred riding regulations came from the north.

Everyone was half vigilant and half hopeful.

What’s unbelievable is that although the rider is very powerful, it is because of one person and three horses. The knight is only 20 or 30 riders, and extremely embarrassed. There is neither armor nor long soldiers, but only some simple bows, crossbows, and short blades. , Obviously not the Song Jun or Jin Jun that everyone is familiar with.

“It’s a Mongolian!”

Looking at the other party, he rushed directly to the fire. In the afterglow of the evening, the six princes who had been stationed in Datong Mansion all the year round suddenly guessed the person who came, and then he was relieved. “The Mongols are all under the control of Zhao Song, so there should be no accidents… that official is not a person who breaks his promise.”

“But there is no need to have more trouble.” Hong Ya, who has been a little uneasy since he started back on the road, whispered to each other. “These people are obviously coming from the north, and they may not know that we have been pardoned… and we are all single-clothed, unarmored, unarmed, tired and hungry… Once they have evil intentions, we are just targets.

The sixth prince nodded immediately.

However, the sixth crown prince and Hong Ya seemed to worry too much. These Mongolian cavalry were obviously in trouble, and they were equally exhausted. They hurried to the fire, and several of them who could speak Chinese took the initiative to come out and asked. Hidden at the Zishui Bridge to the south, just begging for some hot water to mix with the horse milk, ready to take a rest and replenish.

Let’s also say that there are people who come here, there are culture and military, but because of the surrender, I went out of the city alone without anything. At this time, I walked all afternoon, and I was even more exhausted. When I saw the horse milk, someone took the initiative to speak up. , Begging for gifts.

On the other hand, the Mongols on the opposite side were kind, and directly separated a lot of mare’s milk. The atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious for a while.

However, whether the sixth prince or Hong Ya, can go to meet the Zhao Song officials surrendered in person, which one is not ordinary? So when a bite of sour and rushing mare’s milk went down, it was immediately smoked and unbearable. Many people made a fool of themselves… and again caused the Mongols to roar with laughter.

But at this time, the master slave, who had been silent all the time, was revealed, because the person drank the mare’s milk without any obstruction at all.

“Aren’t you too teacher and slave?”

Suddenly, a knight who was fluent in Chinese but dressed in Mongolian recognized the opponent directly through the afterglow and the fire. “Didn’t you follow the four princes of the Kingdom of Kings? How are you here?”

The master slave was startled slightly, raised his head, and realized that the other party was kind, and after a long pause, he realized something: “Are you Sabal? Yelvsabal?”

“It’s me!” Sa Bayi suddenly. “I don’t want the two of us to be together in this life…”

In the middle of the conversation, Sa Ba’s voice became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped altogether, looked at a short and thick Mongolian warrior beside him, and whispered something in Mongolian. Immediately, the Mongolian warrior who bowed his head to drink mare’s milk raised his head and glanced at the group of Zhending and descending like wolves.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Hong Ya secretly yelled badly, and immediately stood up and explained: “You Mongol generals, don’t get me wrong. We were pardoned by the Zhao official’s family, not a fugitive. You can see our shape, and it has nothing to do with the Fourth Prince… After the Fourth Prince’s War I’ve been in Hutuo Henan… Taishi slave just happened to be there.”

The people around were awakened, immediately awe-inspiring, and one after another responded.

Even the master slave hurriedly got up under the eyes of the six princes and gave a little explanation.

And Wanyan Saba also honestly did a translation.

But unexpectedly, on the side of the fire, after clarifying the origins, the Mongolian warrior asked Yelizaba to relay an unbelievable reply that seemed to make people fall into an ice cave.

“My family… the chief said… it was the official Zhao’s family who had forgiven you and couldn’t let you go.” Yelvza swallowed. “Ten or eight heads must be left, so that we can tell the official Zhao that we dare not slack off the suspicious people!”

Everyone heard that their scalp was numb, so they could only go to see Six Prince and Hong Ya one after another.

At this moment, the two people knew that they could no longer hide their feelings, so Hong Ya stood up and confessed everything: “You can’t kill indiscriminately… This is the sixth prince of Jin Guo who was guarding Zhending before. This time I got Zhao official’s words and I want to reply. Yanjing negotiated peace.”

Elysabha quickly turned around to prepare for translation.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Hong Ya’s words, the Mongolian warrior stood up directly, stared at Ru Lu Guan through the fire, and gritted his teeth: “I said you are a good-faced man, but I never thought you were the sixth prince… Prince, I haven’t seen you in Huining Mansion for many years, were you still young at that time?!”

Jian Luguan was startled for a moment, and suddenly a Ji Ling woke up and hurriedly got up to face each other: “Is it Hebrekhan?”

“Naturally it’s me.” This lightly outfitted Mongolian warrior, that is to say, Bo’er was only fit, and shook his head again and again. “Unfortunately, the sixth prince, it is you. If it is someone else, since it is you, you can’t easily let it go…Because if you hadn’t let you escape in Datong before, why would I have worked so hard to plead with the Zhao Song official? ”

Jian Luguan tried his best to ask: “What is the meaning of not letting it go easily? Haven’t Hebrekhan just heard of it? I just followed the words of the official Zhao’s, and went to Yanjing to discuss peace!”

“I know.” Hebule suddenly grinned. “I won’t kill you either… but anyway, I have to take you back so that I can tell the official Zhao that I don’t mean to let it go privately…”

“If it’s just like this, I’ll just go with you again.” Jian Luguan was completely helpless.

“Where can it be so easy?” Hebule directly bent his bow and set an arrow, pointed at the opponent, and said coldly. “Since it was pardoned by the Zhao official family, then the Zhao official family must also know your number, so this time they can only try their best to kill seven or eight and bring more heads! What do the six princes think?”

As soon as the words came out, there was no sound beside the fire, and below Luguan himself, almost everyone had weak legs and feet, but the surrounding Mongolian warriors bent their bows and pinched their blades.

And next, it was not the congruent Ming Di that broke the silence, but after realizing that the arrow was likely to turn to him, the minister from Hong Ya Hong strenuously said: “You can’t kill me! I am Jin Guo appointed by the Zhao official family. In the future, the position is as important as the sixth prince!”

But it was this sentence that directly started the massacre.

Halfway through the conversation, Hebule froze slightly. Taking this opportunity, the more than ten generals who were among the true descendants headed by Taishinu suddenly scattered and turned around, trying to grab the horses of the Mongols and flee, while the Mongols flee. Hurry up and each automatic hand…Although neither side has armor nor long soldiers, and are generally exhausted, the Mongols with daggers and bows are undoubtedly in an absolute advantage.

The bowstring creaked and the blade flickered. Although there were a few military officials who were really determined to surrender and escape, more people were easily slaughtered by the Eastern Mongols by the bonfire.

After killing seven or eight, Jian Lu Guan and Hong Ya were **** and placed on their horses. When they looked up, they could see the heads of acquaintances placed behind the other horses.

These first-level masters did not expect that the Zhao Song official family of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com didn’t kill them, but they were killed suddenly because of the absurd reason of “to pose”.

“Sixth Prince.”

When crossing Zishui again, Hong Ya on horseback couldn’t help but speak to Liu Luguan, the sixth prince not far away. “Under the defeat of the army, life will be like grass, but you and I will be like defeated dogs by the side of the road… It is still necessary to make peace!”

In the darkening twilight, Jian Lu Guan did not respond.

Immediately, at the second shift, Hebule worked all the way to the outside of Zhending City. Then, following the’instruction’ of Wanyan Saba before, after reporting the origin of his name, he took off his clothes and carried it on his back most of the night. A horse whip knelt outside the north gate of Zhending City.

“One by one, what are you doing so desperately?!” During the day, Rao was greatly excited by the fact that he had obtained the Zhending Mansion Treasury, but after being awakened by Liu Yan and Shao Chengzhang this time, the Zhao official family was still a little frustrated. “Don’t know if it’s lying flat?”
