Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eighth
"It's great to have money? Five hundred thousand guan, and there are also ties." Li Ganshun was furious and furious. One thousand guan bought a person, which is a good way to poison it. This poisonous plan has passed the arrangement in front of the Song army city. One thousand guan is enough for a person to live in the Song Dynasty without worries about food and clothing. Now, the country's poor social interactions in Xixia, and the people of the Li family first hugged the Song Dynasty, and then found a place to settle down in Xixia. They had money to spend, so the bastard did not do it.
"In addition... I heard that there are rumors in the besieged Tianhuang Army. Whenever the tribe uprising surrenders to the Song Dynasty's official title, awarded a first-rank official, and is awarded a king, and purchased it for a price of 100% of a nationality. The predecessor army, which was previously captured and brainwashed, has sneaked back to the tribal army to lobby. Because Tianhuang County was broken through, today the army of soldiers besieged in the besieged County was dispersed. The prince led the army to ask His Majesty to return to the army to rectify military affairs and boost the morale of our army."
"How could the Song Dynasty be so mean?" Li Ganshun was angry and panicked. Judging from the Song Dynasty's attitude, it seemed that he was throwing money away, all of which were calculated as tens of thousands. How could he fight this battle? I have never heard of the Han people so generous. Not to mention being generous, the rewards of military merits in the past were the lowest among several countries. This time, the money was spilled out casually like straw paper. It would be tens of thousands of yuan. Li Ganshun believed that most of the soldiers in Tianhuang County now did not hate the Ping rebels, but were jealous, so why did this good thing fall on him?
Lu Mingshouquan, who had been in the last row of the last tent, said: "Your Majesty, it's not something you did in the Song Dynasty, but someone in the Song army was so much money that he didn't know how to spend it."
"who?"
"Ouyang!"
"That Ouyang who bought a concubine for one million yuan?"
"Yes! Now it's the military supervisor of Qinfeng Road in Song Dynasty." Dang Ming Shouquan said: "The last general heard that he could mobilize more than ten thousand yuan of money in Yangping Money House with a souvenir. He doesn't ask for high-ranking officials, and his life is not luxurious. It's true that there is too much money and nowhere to spend it."
Li Ganshun asked: "Where did he get so much money?"
"It is said that he is the boss of a casino in Liao Kingdom, with a monthly income of tens of thousands of yuan, and a shareholder of Yangping Chamber of Commerce. He is also a shareholder of Yangping Bank. He paid hundreds of thousands of yuan in dividends at the end of last year. Yangping was exempted from taxes for two years, and the tax he could embezzle was million yuan per year. He was also the shopkeeper of the Song Royal News. The most money was firearms, and he made a profit of 200,000 yuan per day for trading Liao weapons, and he also made good friends with the Liao Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom's attitude towards Xixia has changed sharply, which should have a lot to do with this person."
Li Ganshun snorted coldly: "No wonder there is any rumor that Aguda, the Umbrella Kingdom, was willing to send the princess to assassinate him."
A civil servant said: "It is said that this attack on Xixia was also a forceful instigation by this man. Your Majesty, now the soldiers everywhere have no intention of fighting, so I should send an envoy to negotiate. As far as I know, the Emperor of Song was not in a proper position, and this time it was a battle for the throne. Now that the results have been achieved, we should stop when we meet.
"A lot of debt, a lot of debt." Ouyang saw if the shopkeeper of the Yangping Money Bank in Qinzhou could reimburse his emperor. After spending so much money, he would not be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. I don't even look down on ten thousand taels of gold now. One hundred thousand taels of gold can make up for the deficit."
Su Qian laughed and said, "Sir, it's just a small amount of money, and I don't charge you interest. Besides, if it really doesn't work, I will sell a part of your military factory shares. Now many people are engaged in the business of the military factory. Even me, I am also thinking about whether I can get some."
"Don't even think about it. I'll count on this for my future pension money." Ouyang said: "You don't know how much money I threw in the military factory started back then, but I only lost money, but I didn't get the money."
"So I admire the Lord very much. The Royal News also suffered a great loss in the early stages, so the Lord was reluctant to stick to it."
Ouyang said vigilantly: "The Royal News is not allowed to make any decisions. If it really doesn't work, I will mortgage the yamen to your money house."
"What do I want the yamen to do?" Su Qian smiled bitterly and took it to pay: "Don't worry, the money shop has customization. For customers with fixed income, they are all loans."
Ouyang asked: "One day I went to jail, will you sell my wife?"
Su Qian said with a righteous expression: "Sir, if you dare to do this, you will be dug up the ancestral grave afterwards. Now Yangping is rich, but you also remember the kindness of the Lord. Besides, where will the Lord spend money? You can see clearly. In the Western Xia War, the Lord spent a lot of money, but he did not participate in the good things afterwards. I admire him very much. Even if there is an accident, he will leave a lonely and widowed person, Dan will suffer any grievances. Yangping will not dare to see him after his death."
"General Liu." Su Qian stood up and said, "Two sirs chat, I still have some trivial matters to deal with, so I will say goodbye for the time being."
Liu Qi shouted and whispered: "The envoy is really here."
"Where are people now?"
"Zhanglan has been detained."
"I just reported my identity and took it down. There are people around me."
"Well, Xiao Yin has brought his people to rebel, and General Han and his group have gone to the Hexi Corridor. At most more than a month, Xingqing Prefecture can be taken." Ouyang asked: "Will the Envoy to bribe the Envoy?"
"The envoy cannot, but the deputy brought by the envoy seems to be able."
"Well, then act according to the plan." Ouyang said: "We have no losses, either, aren't it just money?"
The deputy envoy brought back Wang Wu, who was beside Ouyang. Wang Wu was not brave enough and was from the accountant, so there was no more suitable person than him. The deputy envoy reported: Your Majesty, according to the different statements of the Song army, they sent liaison envoys to our army and brought details of the negotiations."
Li Qianshun's face changed and asked, "The deputy envoy Wu Bada was shaking his sweat and said, "Mr. Wu has betrayed!"
Damn! Go, no one, Wu Bada is the most trustworthy official except the royal family. Li Qianshun asked anxiously: "How did you betray?"
"The Song army has a list of articles. Any second-rank official who surrendered to Xixia will be rewarded with 2,000 guan. Lord Wu said that once Xixia and Song are in harmony, he will not have the money, so he will buy whatever he wants. Li Qianshun almost bleeded inside. This guy is his own person, and the troops in various places, especially the capital, are clearly deployed. Li Qianshun said after two breaths: "Envoy Xuan Song!" He cannot worry about these things and delay the main business.
Wang Wu entered the tent and said half-qualifyingly: "The Grand Song Emperor ordered Wang Wu to meet His Majesty."
"Don't, what do you Song Jun want to talk about?"
"Ouyang, the eldest son of the family, was personally appointed by Emperor Song, and he made several suggestions. First, negotiate a temporary truce between the two armies. If His Majesty agrees, our Song Dynasty will immediately send a messenger to let General Han's headquarters stop moving."
Li Qianshun nodded: "Accurate!" This is a good thing. Han Shizhong's 15,000 cavalry has been the gloom he has been in the past few days.
"Second, please confirm the negotiation location. Lord Ou means to set up the peace talks in an abandoned village ten miles away from Rongxian."
This village is the center point of the two armies, and Li Qianshun nodded again: "Accurate!"
"Third, negotiators, our Song Dynasty will send the imperial envoy Ouyang Ou to the scene. Lord Ou hopes that His Majesty can send someone who keeps his word."
"We sent the royal family, Li Renzhong and Li Renli to the meeting."
Wang Wu knew that these two men were all-nighters, Chinese, and good at poetry and prose, and were very fond of Li Ganshun, who was dedicated to Confucianism. One was named King Pu and the other was called King Shu. And there was a real dispatch. Logically speaking, these two men were fine, but unfortunately these two people could not be the home of Xixia. Ouyang had an explanation in advance, so Wang Wu did not ask again: "Fourth, both sides had to be equipped with two followers without weapons."
In fact, Li Ganshun was also helpless. Under Ouyang's money-spending offensive, he was a member of his clan. Li Ganshun agreed to the fourth point: "Accurate!"
"Fifth, the negotiation time is set at three days later."
"Three days later?" Li Ganshun asked in reverse. This one would take a little bit of national strength after one day. It would be best to start the talk in the afternoon and talk immediately.
Wang Wu smiled in his heart and asked in surprise: "Is Your Majesty very anxious? If Your Majesty is anxious, I can go back and inform the Lord, and change it to tomorrow morning."
"It's just three days later." This is negotiation, and the momentum cannot be weakened.
Liu Ao looked at a piece of paper in a gloomy house. Not far from him was the bloody envoy of Xixia Wu Bada. Liu Qi threw the paper aside and said, "You say these are useless. Just say it directly, I need the information of Xingqing Prefecture of Xixia. For example, how many garrisons are located now, the list of officials, the armed capabilities of private slaves, the personality of officials, the influential local figures, etc. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wu Bada gritted his teeth and said, "You are sending this information when you send a messenger to inform Han Shizhong, right? You don't want to have a peace talk at all, right?"
"I think you don't want to recruit me at all." Liu Qi ordered: "Come on, be punished with the punishment. Each piece of meat must be cut for more than ten pieces."
"Beast, you are still a country of etiquette. When the two armies fight, they will not be injured. Don't you know?"
Liu Zhu smiled and said, "I have been talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality for thousands of years. The more I talk, the more I suffer. Now I will change the way of talking. If the general is not ruthless or vicious, how can I be the general? The benevolent one is invincible. You should go to talk to Confucius after you die. If I were you, I would have taken this thousand guan to be a rich man in the Song Dynasty, so as not to be so bad."
When Liu Ao went out, Ouyang was leaning outside the house to bask in the sun. When Ouyang saw Liu Qi's face, he smiled and comforted: "It's not that easy. This is an important official and has been brainwashed by Confucianism. You must always have some patience.
Of course, if he didn't yell that he was a military official in Xixia, he wouldn't have suffered such a crime."
Liu Ao said: "I always thought that the adults did not agree with the use of large torture."
"If you can do it, you don't need it, but using a great punishment to him is equivalent to saving more than a hundred soldiers of the Song army. Besides, it is always a bit of a cost to support high officials and generous salaries." Ouyang said: "This Li Ganshun is really true. A country of etiquette does not mean that everyone is willing to reason. Besides, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, there is no prohibition of envoys from other countries. As for what is not hurt, there is no explicit regulation."
"It's just that he's too valuable." Liu Qi is an alien among the Song generals. He can do anything to pursue victory. He is not afraid of infamy, not afraid of gains and losses, and even cares about his own life. Liu Qi ordered: "Listen, without the orders of Lord Ou, even if the heavenly soldiers and generals come, they will not be allowed to enter."
"Yes!" The soldiers shouted in unison.
"Sir, have two drinks?"
