Chapter 761 The decisive battle is imminent!
"Report! Your Majesty, there is a person outside the city who says he is the envoy of the Jin people and wants to see you, Your Majesty."
"Golden Messenger?"
This was beyond Zhao Ning's expectation. Zong Han was still in the mood to send an envoy over.
"Bring it in."
The Jin envoy entered Zhaozhou City and came to the emperor's palace.
"I've met Zhao Guan's house."
"Who is coming?"
"Foreign Minister Zhang Tonggu."
Zhao Ning glanced at this person, and he didn't expect that the person who came was actually a relatively famous person in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Tonggu was a Jinshi of the Liao Kingdom. After the fall of the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty once recruited this person, but he refused to join the Song Dynasty.
His refusal to join the Song Dynasty was understandable.
After all, in the hands of Song Huizong Zhao Ji and his group of friends, the Song Dynasty would cheat anyone who had the ability and responsibility, and anyone who could talk nonsense would enjoy the benefits.
In fact, when the Liao Dynasty fell, the Song Dynasty launched a lot of recruitment efforts for Han officials in the Liao Kingdom, but basically all of them were rejected.
There is no other reason than the way those Han officials stretched their hips when they attacked Yanyun in the Song Dynasty, which made people stunned.
Whether it is the treatment of Zhang Jue or Guo Yaoshi's incident, it is chilling.
The most famous thing Zhang Tonggu did in history was to go to the Southern Song Dynasty as an envoy, make Zhao Gou kneel down, and ennoble Zhao Gou.
Zhao Ning looked at this tonggu and said: "The two armies are fighting, what do you want from me?"
Zhang Tonggu said: "The foreign minister came under orders. The two countries have good relations. However, your country went to war to hurt our country, Dajin. Marshal Zong Han led an army of 200,000 people to go south. I hope that Zhao Guanjia can kill Yue Fei and my Dajin people."
Please give me a reasonable explanation for the sergeant matter."
"A reasonable explanation?" Zhao Ning couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "You are just a barbarian from the Kingdom of Jin. You acted barbarically and rudely, and killed countless soldiers and civilians of our Song Dynasty. When did you give me a reasonable explanation?"
"Zhao Guan's family, that was what happened before. What happened before has been wiped out with the signing of the peace treaty between the two countries."
"Cancel it in one stroke?" Zhao Ning suddenly pulled out his sword and said angrily, "Is it your decision to cancel it in one stroke?"
Zhang Tonggu was startled and said quickly: "Zhao Guan's family, foreign ministers are envoys, they only convey the meaning of Marshal Zong Han, nothing more."
"Then you go back and tell Zong Han, asking him to withdraw his troops quickly and never allow him to step into the Song Dynasty again!"
"Zhao Guanjia, Marshal Zong Han hopes that you can punish Yue Fei. If you agree to this condition, he will withdraw his troops."
"After so many years, your tactics haven't changed at all?" Zhao Ning sneered, "Go back and tell Zong Han that as long as he disbands the army on the spot, I will punish Yue Fei."
"How can we be sure that Zhao Guan's family will punish Yue Fei?"
"How can I be sure that Zong Han will withdraw his troops?" Zhao Ning sneered, "Stop wasting everyone's time with such stupid remarks. Zong Han has brought an army of 200,000 people here from time to time. I have been waiting for him here.
Yes, but he sent you to do evil things, it’s really a failure!”
Zhang Tonggu looked unhappy.
"As for you, if I don't kill you, tell Zong Han what I just said word for word. If he wants to fight, I will accompany him to the end until he kneels down and begs for mercy!"
"Guan Zhao, you will regret what you said today."
After saying that, Zhang Tonggu left.
"Your Majesty, won't you chop this person up?" Gao Qiu said.
"What's the use of killing him? It will stain the swords of our Song Dynasty soldiers and insult my wisdom."
Luancheng is a small city in the north of Zhaozhou. In the past peaceful times, its total population was only 10,000.
At this time, Zong Han's 85,000 troops arrived in Luan City, and the military camps undulated like endless waves.
The soldiers drilled in the camp, and the sound was as loud as thunder.
Zong Han did this deliberately, intending to put pressure on the Zhao Guan family in Zhaozhou first.
Then Zhang Tonggu was sent there, ostensibly to give the Zhao Guan family a chance, so that the Zhao Guan family could have a chance.
Zong Han was drinking and eating meat in the camp. Suddenly, a scout rushed over and shouted outside the camp: "Report! Marshal, we must report urgently. Our army has been defeated by the Song army!"
As soon as the scout said these words, the wine bowl in Wanyan Zonghan's hand became unstable and fell on the table. The others looked shocked.
"Come in!"
The scouts immediately went in and presented the general's report to Zong Han.
Zong Han began to accumulate anger in his heart. After he finished reading, he lifted the table and the meat, wine, fruits, etc. on it were scattered all over the floor.
"Where is Sa Lihe?" Zong Han shouted angrily.
"I don't know where Sa Lihe is now."
"Is it true that the Song army was so brave and good at fighting?" Zong Han asked, suppressing his anger and wanting to kill someone.
No one answered his words.
In fact, everyone present is aware of Sa Lihe's fighting skills.
That guy is not a parallel import. He grew up seriously beside Taizu and has great military exploits.
But this year’s failure lasted for half a year.
Just look at this year's military report of Sa Lihe, and you won't associate him with famous generals anymore.
Those who don't know about his glorious and outstanding achievements in the past, but just look at this year, will definitely think that this guy is just a brash man full of muscles.
But in fact, Zhending was defeated as soon as Salihe went to Zhending, which shows that the fighting power of Zhending's Song army should not be underestimated.
"Who is the real commander-in-chief of the Song Army?"
"It was said to be Niu Gao before. This person is a general under Yue Fei's command." Wanyan Mengshi said.
At this time, Zhang Tonggu came back.
He reported the conversation with Zhao Guan's family.
"Guan Zhao's attitude is quite tough. I've only seen it for a few days to see if he can be so tough again!" Zong Han said in a deep voice.
After a while, another military report came.
"Report! It has been detected that the Zhending Song Army is advancing towards our army!"
Zhending Mansion?
Zong Han had doubts in his heart.
Isn't it true that Wanyan Sali is drinking in the town?
"Come in!"
The scout came in again and presented the general's report to Zong Han.
Zong Han was shocked when he read the military report.
"It is confirmed that the commander-in-chief of the Song Army is actually Yue Fei, the envoy of Hebei Province! He has 30,000 troops!"
Everyone started talking again.
"My commander left a force in Tang County with great momentum. Not only did Yue Fei not go to Tang County, but he decided to do it!" Zong Han's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
"Could it be that the traces of our march have been exposed?" Wanyan Mengshi said.
"No!" Zong Han said, "It turns out that I underestimated Yue Fei. Not only did Tangxian's tactics not have any effect, but it was also suspected of being a cover-up. Yue Fei was sure that we would go south quickly!"
"Marshal, no matter how clever Yue Fei is, the arrow is on the string now. Our golden heavenly soldiers have arrived in Zhaozhou. The Zhao Guan family is in Zhaozhou at this time. To capture the Zhao Guan family alive will definitely cause civil strife in the Song Dynasty!" Wanyan Mengshi said.
"Yes! Capture Zhao Guan's family alive!"
Zong Han said: "Don't worry, this Yue Fei is beyond my expectation. I can't wait to meet him!"
"The marshal means to attack Yue Fei first?"
Chapter completed!
