"...As for the negotiations outside the city, it will only take a few days if we continue. ◎The Jurchens' request to cede the north of the Yellow River is just a big deal, but they definitely want substantial benefits. We believe that,
It doesn't matter whether the compensation is money or annual coins. If it can continue normally, the money will always come back. In order to ensure that nothing happens to Taiyuan, there are several conditions that can be negotiated. First, the compensation is money and materials, and we will send troops to escort them. It is best to use the Second Major to immediately
Heng commanded Wurui Camp and passed Yanmen Pass or Taiyuan before handing it over, but now, there are also problems..."
The wind and snow have not subsided, but in the study room of Youxiang Mansion, the voices are still continuing. The one who speaks at this time is Tong Zhiyuan, who has just joined the core.
"In order to ensure that the Jurchens withdraw from Bianliang, the details on the negotiation table are that we will compensate for goods, coins, and food for the return trip. The Jurchens will hand over all the siege equipment in the camp. On the day the Jurchens retreat, one hand will be exchanged for another. Now the DPRK
The princes in the hall only want to finalize the fact that the Jurchens will withdraw their troops. Mr. Li negotiates with Zongwang every day and thanks guests behind closed doors. Yesterday, he reported that the Jurchens' attempt to demand the north of the Yellow River has been abandoned, but Zongwang still insists on the line from Taiyuan to Yanmen Pass.
, so there is still a long way to go before all the Jurchens can retreat and the conditions for our army to escort out of Yanmen Pass..."
Tong Zhiyuan was talking about details. After he finished speaking, Jueming spoke at the side.
"It has been nearly a month since the Jurchens sieged the city. The siege equipment has long been worn out and cannot be used very much. They used this as a bargaining chip to give Li Chao a step down. The so-called asking for a high price has to be repaid on the ground, but
Li Chao did not have this courage. No matter north of the Yellow River or north of Taiyuan, they were actually beyond the expectations of the Jurchens! They had gone through hundreds of battles with them, and by this time they were already tired. They wished they could go back to repair, so to speak.
It doesn’t sound good. No matter what it is, wouldn’t it be better to come and get it next time! But if Li Chu can’t bite him to death, they won’t be afraid of taking a piece of meat away.”
Qin Siyuan sighed: "Regarding the Taiyuan matter, I originally wanted to lobby Li Chao myself, and later asked Qinsou to come forward, but Li Chao still refused to meet. In private, he never let go. This time the matter was too serious, and he had to make an appointment.
, I don’t have much else to do…”
"There is something about Li Chao, but there is no point in bringing it out at this time. The news has been released privately. Li Chao should be able to meet with Qin Xiang. I only hope that he can reach an agreement on the basis of negotiation.
Go ahead. Try to be tougher. Give roses to others, and the fragrance will linger in your hands." Yao Zunian opened his eyes and said, "On Li Heng's side, what are the specific preparations?"
"The Xiacun army has conflicts with several other armies. Zhuji has already prepared what he wants to do." Ning Yi replied, "Inside and outside the city, we have begun to organize and publicize various stories about this war. We don't want to
It is planned to only let the people of Xia Village take advantage of this. The collection and weaving of all things will be carried out at the same time in various armies, including hundreds of thousands of people outside the city and the Forbidden Army inside the city. Whenever there are stories of bloody battles, they will help them
publicity."
Ning Yi said calmly, Yao Zunian and others nodded.
"In the past few days, while they came here to recruit soldiers, we also let them go. There were more than 100,000 people, and there was always something to say. We in turn recorded the deeds of those among them who fought bravely in the face of the enemy, headed by military officers.
The key point is to take the deeds of Xia Cun and Wurui Camp as the core to form a public opinion atmosphere in which everyone is willing to compare with Xia Cun's army. Once their reputation increases, the hostility of these middle-level officers towards Wurui Camp can be resolved. Next, we absorb
They go to the Wu Rui camp. After all, they are the victorious troops. Taking advantage of the fact that the organization is still a bit chaotic, we can expand the number of elites."
"It is better to draw out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron than to stop it from boiling." Qin Siyuan nodded.
"It's hard to say whether Wurui Camp can be saved. But these are the results of the upper-level game. What should be done must be done after all. It is better to be proactive now than to be passively beaten."
The lights were on at night, and everyone in the room explained most of the things at hand. Feng Xue sobbed, and when the study door opened and everyone came out one after another, they no longer knew what time it was in the morning. By this time, everyone was
They stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Tong Zhiyuan and Hou Wenjing left first. The others also said a few words to Qin Siyuan and went back to their rooms to rest. When Ning Yi greeted him, Qin Siyuan said: "Li Li."
I'll wait a moment, I still have a few words to chat with you."
When Yao Zunian left, he exchanged complicated looks with Qin Siyuan. Ji Kun was the last to leave. Afterwards, Qin Siyuan put on a coat and asked his servants to bring one to Ning Yi. The old man took his hand and said:
"After sitting all night, my mind is dull. Let's go for a walk." Ning Yi gave him a little support, picked up a lantern, and the two of them walked outside.
Recalling that when the two met in Jiangning, the old man was in good spirits and in good health, not inferior to the young people. Later, when he arrived in the capital, even though he had a lot of work, he was still in good spirits. But after this battle to defend the city, he finally needed some support.
.
The two walked along the corridor, and snowflakes fell in the darkness next to them. The snow was not heavy, and the wind was actually not strong, but it was still cold. After walking slowly for a while, they arrived at a windless place beside a small garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this point, the old man sighed: "How is Shao Qian's health after hurting his eye?"
"It's okay. There shouldn't be any major sequelae."
"The Qin family has been a scholar for generations, but he has been good at martial arts since he was a child. He can command such a battle, fight heartily and win. He must feel comfortable. I can imagine this." Qin Siyuan smiled, and then shook his head.
Shaking his head, he looked at a large rockery in front of him, "After Shao Qian joined the army, he would always go home to visit relatives and talk to me about the constraints in the army, and he would be filled with indignation. But many things have their reasons, and it is not easy to change them.
...Li Heng knows it, right?"
Ning Yi was silent for a moment and did not speak.
"I had a lot of chats with Nian Gong about this matter, and I also discussed it with Qinsou and Jueming. It's just that there are some things that are hard to hear, otherwise it will inevitably be embarrassing." Qin Siyuan said in a low voice.
"In the past few years, the Duke of Chu was in charge of the military affairs, and later Wang Fu came to the top. When the Jurchens came, they did not dare to step forward, which was considered a loss of face. Taiyuan had been forced by Zong Han for several years.
Yue, Xia Cun, defeated Guo Yaoshi. Both were my sons, and I happened to be a civil servant. Therefore, the Duke of Chu stopped talking. Wang Fu and the others all retreated. Cai Jing... he was also afraid of me.
When the old man comes up, both the civil and military personnel retreat. In the end, it is difficult for me to distinguish between public and private matters in Taiyuan, and it is difficult for me to talk..."
"We can't throw it away in Taiyuan..." In the wind and snow, the old man looked at the black shadow of the rockery and murmured.
There was another moment of silence between the two.
"Your Majesty is young and powerful. After this battle, he must start to pay attention to military preparations." Ning Yi spoke from behind, "If the Wurui Camp in Xia Cun is not to be broken up, the key lies with your Majesty. After the peace talks, please inspect Xia Cun
Army. External public opinion exaggerates that this war was a turnaround due to His Majesty's wise command and strategic planning. Your Majesty is the master of ZTE. He values innovation and progress."
In the wind and snow, his words were not high-pitched, simple and calm: "People can control public opinion, and public opinion can also influence people. With His Majesty's character, he is likely to be moved by such public opinion, and his behavior,
You also have a pragmatic side. Even if you have suspicions in your heart, you will still want to take advantage of your ability, Prime Minister Qin. When His Majesty came to the throne, you were actually His Majesty's teacher. If you can persuade His Majesty to be enthusiastic and enterprising like you did back then, you may still have a chance now...
…Because people who are confident and pragmatic are not afraid of powerful officials.”
Qin Siyuan frowned, then shook his head: "I haven't thought about this before. It's just that His Majesty is unpredictable now. He...sigh..."
The old man sighed. The meaning was complicated, and perhaps it was not directed at Zhou Zhe alone. This matter had nothing to do with debate. What he talked about with Ning Yi, and what Ning Yi talked about with him, Yao Zunian and others might not have thought of it.
After a while, Ning Yi said: "I have never dealt with the superiors, and I don't know how some messy things came about. I am not sure about these things. But outside the city, I met Er Shao and heard people
They discussed that the only chance to break the situation may be here. Use civil society to rule the military. Once the military position rises, they will be suppressed, but they may be able to ride on the wind. Or they can be like Taishi Cai and be a powerful minister for five or ten years.
"In the future, soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth, or we can pack up our burdens and go home. I will go to the south and find a good place to stay."
He paused: "However, Cai Jing, a powerful minister in the past few decades, has not touched the foundation of other people's power. If you want to push the position of a warrior, you have to touch the foundation. Even if there is a His Majesty in front of you... you can't.
Have a good death, old man. You think about it more and I take a closer look. It’s hard for me to say whether I can follow this one..."
After a long time, Qin Siyuan raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
The two said a few more words, and soon after, they went to have a rest, but such a night was destined to be sleepless.
After coming to Bianliang for so long, Ning Yi has never really fought against the high-level officials, nor has he really come into contact with the real dragon emperor at the top. Every stupid decision made by the game at the top,
It's not that he can't understand the muddy difficulties that push a country forward. It's just that it makes him feel angry and difficult every time. Relatively speaking, he prefers to stay below and watch those who can be manipulated.
And the pusher. If he moves forward, he will always feel that he is back on the old path.
What was he longing for and looking forward to back then, and was he confused all the way afterwards, and was it really worth it? What about now? He has not yet determined in his heart that he really wants to do the next things. He just uses logic and common sense to find someone.
It's just a solution. At this point, we can only please the emperor, defeat others, and finally let Qin Siyuan walk on the path of a powerful minister. When foreign enemies come one after another and the country needs a powerful minister to promote military preparations, it may be because of the war.
The special situation at the time left everyone with a chance to survive in the cracks.
As long as there is some sense above, it will not be a doomed situation.
After coming to Wu Dynasty for several years, he fell asleep quietly for the first time in such an unstable mood. The matter was too big, even he had a way of taking things as he was, waiting until things became more obvious, then think about it again
The psychology of thinking and seeing.
In the long wind and snow, in the huge city, the lights of many houses were quietly extinguished. The carriages came and went lonely in the snow. Occasionally, there was a whistle. In the early morning, someone would open the door and shovel the road in front of the door.
Snow has fallen on the ground. The city is still gray and dull, and people are nervous and anxious, waiting for news of the peace talks outside the city. In the Jinluan Palace, the courtiers have already taken their positions and started a new day of confrontation.
Ning Yi went to Fanlou, preparing to persuade Li Yun to participate in the activity of collecting heroic deeds of other troops for Zhuji. This was something that had been planned for a long time.
On the snowy plains more than ten miles north of the city, the army was still fighting and fighting. Li Chao once again walked into the Jin army's tent and faced those terrifying Jurchens, starting a new day of negotiations and suffering.
During the negotiation, Sera overturned the negotiating table with a bang, drew his sword in front of Li Chen and cut him in two. Li Chen fought with his two hands, looking calm on the surface, but still losing his blood.
On this day, the Youxiang Mansion began more activities and operations, and subsequently, Zhuji's propaganda campaign also launched inside and outside the city.
Ning Yi was not yet completely sure of what he was going to do next. Soon after, everything froze in a weird and embarrassing mud... (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
