Chapter 608 Return of the King



For any king, cede land and seeking peace is an extremely shameful thing, and Zhao Huan is no exception.

On the day when Feng Cheng and Li Ruoshui left Beijing and went to Tianyuan to handle the land cemetery and seek peace, Zhao Huan felt very uncomfortable!

Zhao Huan found out the memorials against abandoning the land, read a few carefully, and suddenly felt that these statements were very reasonable, especially eight others, including Wan Qixu, Ph.D. of the Imperial Academy, Chao Guanzhi, and eight others, who had excellent strategies.

Zhao Huan decided to summon Wanqixu and Chao Guanzhi in person, so he ordered Tang Ke to arrange for Wanqixu and Chao Guanzhi to enter the palace to report.

After receiving the notice, Wanqixu and Chao Guanzhi first came to the capital hall to meet Tang Ke, and then said to Tang Ke: "The three towns are the land of their ancestors, how can they be abandoned? The Jin people's ambition is not to cede the land, but actually want to invade the Central Plains. They just took the three towns as the starting point. The Duke was the prime minister and summoned the soldiers of the world to fight with them."

Tang Ke said: "It is useless to send troops out repeatedly and defeat them again. It is useless to summon troops again. It is only costing straw and grain to disturb the people. It is the best strategy to keep the trust and cede the land. Moreover, the emperor wants to send King Kang to another envoy according to the proposal of King Geng Nanzhong. The emperor summoned the opponents, so as not to speak loudly, so as not to become more confused."

Wanqixu and Chao Guanzhi came to Ruisi Hall again and said to Zhao Huan: "The three passes in Hebei were once robbed and occupied by the Khitans in the difficulty of Jin's fortune. Later, Zhou Shizong personally led his troops to regain their territory. In Taiyuan, Hedong, the father and son of the Liu family have been occupied for several generations. After Zhou Shizong fought, Taizu Taizong fought again, and then conquered. After twenty years of hard work and tens of thousands of people, they were unified and integrated with China.

Three towns are hard to get sincerity.

Moreover, if there is no Taiyuan, you cannot control the northwest; if there is no Yingzhou and Dingzhou, you cannot defend the capital. The three towns are like human limbs for China. If one limb is sick and wants to remove it, then people will not be the whole person, and even endanger the whole body. Moreover, the people in the three towns are all innocent children. If you cede land, you will abandon the people. If you are the parents of the people and abandon their descendants, is it a perfect way?

Maodun is a soldier. He would rather abandon his wife and concubine than abandon his land. Therefore, he will eventually be able to threaten the enemy and maintain his territory. Now Your Majesty is rich in the world and is the lord of the Central Plains. How could he abandon his land instead and be ashamed of his neighbors?

Ministers regard abandoning land as the country, but they forget the cause of the whole world and seek peace in the present. Their plans are careless and confusing, which will lead to the country facing danger. I am really sorry!

Deng Qi of the Eastern Han Dynasty wanted to abandon Liangzhou, but Yu Xu said: "The food of ulcers is soaked in fertility, and the limit is boundless. Zhong Mo of the Southern Tang Dynasty is willing to abandon Jianghuai, while Qiqiu of the Song Dynasty said: "Treating the country and snatching profits will only lead to the country. Is it true that I am willing to abandon the country's land as a minister? Is it true that I am loyal to the Lord?"

Zhao Huan asked: "What can we do if the situation is forced?"

Wanqixu and Chao Guanzhi said again: "The Jin people led their troops from the north and would go deep into the mainland to invade the capital. For the current plan, we should summon 200,000 troops from four groups, guarding the capital city and joining the royal family to defend the city. Then, we summoned the kingly soldiers from all over the world with feathers and stationed in the suburbs of the capital. After the Jin people came, they cut off their supplies and left them without plunder. They stayed away from their homeland and attacked for a long distance, and they would not last long. Waiting for their disadvantages, then attacking them is a perfect plan."

After hearing this, Zhao Huan began to waver about the strategy of abandoning land and wanted to supervise the troops to fight with the Jin people.

The next day, Li Ruoshui suddenly sent someone to send back the news, saying: "I met a roar on the way, and the road was rumored that the Jin people had crossed the river... The peace talks must not be harmonious. Please ask the emperor to be a garrison early, issue a mourning edict quickly, and recruit troops from all directions."

Zhao Huan was shocked and quickly summoned the magistrate to discuss countermeasures.

When Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong, Nie Chang, He Li and other ministers heard the news, they disagreed. They still insisted that with Li Shumi (Li Hui) and Deputy Xuanfu (Zhe Yanzhi) commanding more than 100,000 troops to defend the Yellow River, it was impossible for the Jin people to cross the river so quickly.

But then, another border report came that the enemy was approaching the Yellow River and the river defense was very critical.

Zhao Huan urgently ordered Wang Zongyi, the head of the hall in front of the hall, to send someone out to inquire.

Wang Zongqi sent envoy Ma Gang to rebel and took his men out of the city to reconnaise.

In the afternoon, Ma Gang came back and reported that he had encountered some defeated soldiers on the road. According to them, the enemy had begun to cross the river. More than 100,000 guards of the Yellow River had collapsed. Deputy Xuanfu and Li Shumi were not sure where to go.

Zhao Huan and the Prime Minister were stunned, and then looked at each other, without any good intentions.

Zhao Huan suddenly remembered Li Ruoshui's suggestion, so he issued a mourning edict calling on Fujian and Zhejiang soldiers and civilians to serve the king.

While the main battle was at the same time, because the Jin army was about to reach the doorstep, Zhao Huan was hoping to cede land and negotiate.

Zhao Huan sent Li Ruoshui to meet Wanyan Zonghan, and sent Wang Yun to meet Wanyan Zongwang.

Wang Yun insisted that Zhao Gou meet Wanyan Zongwang together.

Wang Yun's reason was that King Kang was brave and powerful, and had a friendly relationship with the second prince. The Jin people were very afraid of King Kang and asked King Kang to come forward to have hope that the Jin army on the east road would stop advancing. Moreover, the second prince once said that a prince and the two prefectures must seek peace, which may be possible to relieve the war.

The prime ministers actually did not agree with Zhao Gou's peace talks. Their reason was that Zhao Shu, the King of Su who replaced Zhao Gou, went to the Jin camp last time, but was detained and taken away by the Jin people. He has not returned yet and his life and death is unknown.

But with Wang Yun's insistence, Zhao Huan finally decided to send King Kang to the army again, and Wang Yun was the deputy envoy; he promised to ced the three towns, carry the crown and carriages to carry them; he also respected the gold master as the emperor's uncle, and the title of the great Jin Chongtian Jixu Zhaode Dinggong Xiu Ren Dunxin cultivated literature and became the sage of Emperor Guangsheng.

After hearing about this, Zhao Gou immediately entered the palace to submit a memorial, requesting to send civil officials Geng Yanxi (son of Geng Nanzhong) and military officials Gao Shize to serve as senators and accompany them together.

Soon, Zhao Gou, Wang Yun, Geng Yanxi, Gao Shize, as well as the officials of the East End of the Chief Supervisor Lan Gui, Kang Lu, and Li Qi, entered the West End of the Indian Gongshu, and the Indian Guest, Wulang, Han Gongyi and others, left the city of Bianliang in Tokyo and went to Zhending Prefecture to find Wanyan Zongwang to discuss peace...

Just as Zhao Gou left Tokyo Bianliang, Li Yan, who was supposed to be waiting for the Liangshan army to destroy the Zhuluo Kingdom at Angkor Thomas, heard that the Jin army had crossed the river and headed straight to Tokyo Bianliang City, weighed the pros and cons, and then quietly returned to Seoul with only fifty treasure ships and two hundred sea ships, Jiefan and the Tabai Army.

The reason why Li Yan returned to Seoul at this time:

On the one hand, Li Yan was worried that he would not be able to catch up with the shame of Jingkang and would lose the opportunity to win the Central Plains.

On the other hand, Li Yan went to the Central Plains again this time, but he was preparing to take root in the Central Plains and strive for the Central Plains, so he had to make a lot of preparations.

In addition, although the battle to destroy Zhuluo Kingdom has not ended yet, the right-road army led by Shi Bao and Bian Xiang has really been ruthless this time. It was even faster than the left army led by Yue Fei and Han Shizhong to attack the capital of Zhuluo Kingdom two days ago. Then the left and right armies jointly launched their efforts to attack Zhuluo Kingdom.

but

When the capital of Zhuluo was captured, the crown prince of Zhuluo escaped from the city with the chaotic crowd, then went to Titicayedi (a small country next to Zhuluo), then ascended the throne and called on the people of Zhuluo to rise up and resist the invasion of Shuibou Liangshan.

As a result, various parts of the Zhuluo Kingdom revolt, and the war in the Zhuluo Kingdom could not be calmed down for a while.

Seeing this, Li Yan decided to send the fourth wing to Zhuluo State to exchange for the first army and slowly destroy Zhuluo State.

And Li Yanze, the king returns!
