Chapter 485: The Golden Emperor’s Conditions, Borrowing Troops Successfully
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Tang was certain in his heart. Although he was somewhat sure that Wanyan Yong would agree before, he didn't feel relieved until the matter was settled now.
"Don't be too busy thanking me yet!"
Wan Yanyong smiled and waved his hand, "I also have conditions."
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
"I will lend you 60,000 soldiers and horses, and they are soldiers and horses under the command of Hei Khan, Zhuo and others who were familiar with you before. Are you willing?"
Wan Yanyong said.
Shen Tang nodded. The soldiers and horses from before were not only familiar, but they were all elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom. It would be best to have those soldiers and horses to cooperate.
"It's just that you, the Song Dynasty, need to provide the military resources, food and grass for these soldiers and horses."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will not be easy to transport grain and grass from the Song Dynasty to the Kingdom of Jin in a short period of time, and it will also be delayed for a long time.
How about letting them carry grain and grass for a period of time, and the Song Dynasty can compensate His Majesty with money, silk brocade, etc. for this grain and grass?"
Shen Tang said quickly.
Wan Yanyong thought for a moment, and then said, "They can be allowed to carry a month's worth of food and grass. However, I have the final say on how much monetary compensation is needed."
Since he has agreed to borrow troops, Wanyan Yong will naturally not be too harsh on these provisions.
After all, it is the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom, can they still be starved?
Furthermore, silver coins and silk brocade are also hard currencies, and the Kingdom of Jin did not suffer any loss.
"In addition, in addition to Ruoergai and Luqu that you promised me, I also want half of the land in Nanping!"
Shen Tang pondered slightly, and then agreed.
Nanping is different from the other two places. Ruoergai and Luqu are mostly bordered by Linzhao Road of the Jin Dynasty, and only a small part of the southern part of Ruoergai is bordered by Lizhou West Road of the Song Dynasty.
Occupying these two places, the impact on the Song Dynasty is not great. However, the land of Nanping is all bordering the Song Dynasty. If the land of Nanping is incorporated by the Jin Kingdom, it will naturally have a great impact on the Song Dynasty. .
Presumably, Wan Yanyong also knew this, so he proposed half of Nanping.
This was certainly not easy for the Song Dynasty to accept, but now the Song Dynasty was almost a piece of meat on the chopping board. If it did not accept it, it would be unable to fight against Tibet.
Furthermore, the Jin Kingdom was able to send 60,000 troops and did not have many requirements for food and grass. It had already given Shen Tang and the Song Dynasty face. This request could not be tolerated by Shen Tang.
"Okay, the matter is settled like this. It just so happens that Heshi Liezhining is in Zhongdu. You can rest here for one night and you will set off tomorrow morning!"
Wan Yanyong said.
"My lord, Shen Tang, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Tang saluted solemnly and said.
Although the Jin Kingdom was able to send troops this time, it was profitable, but it was also done for Shen Tang's face.
And Shen Tang had to accept this favor.
"Shen Tang, although maybe you don't care, even your Song Dynasty doesn't care either.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom may still be enemies in the future. However, since I have named you General Fengguo, then in my heart, you are my general.
So, you don’t have to say thank you to me! In addition, you also know how much I love Princess Yongqing, and you are her husband-in-law, so naturally you are also my son-in-law, so you and I are also one and the same. "
"I will not force you to deviate from the Song Dynasty, let alone come to the Kingdom of Jin.
However, remember, I will regard you, the Song Dynasty, as my enemy, but I will not regard you, Shen Tang, as my enemy."
Although Shen Tang also knew that Wan Yanyong's words had other purposes, he had to admit that Wan Yanyong's words were indeed very touching.
As the emperor of a country, he treated him like this, Shen Tang. How could Shen Tang not be grateful in his heart?
Shen Tang bowed and said nothing.
Even if he becomes an enemy in the future, he will still keep some feelings in his heart.
If possible, he will definitely repay Jin Guo generously in the future.
Shen Tang left the palace and went directly to Chunyue Center.
Although Wanyan Yue is not in Zhongdu now, he, the husband-in-law of the princess, will never be blocked from the gate of Chunyue Residence.
Sure enough, when Shen Tang arrived, the servants in the middle of Chunyue were extremely respectful.
They already knew that Shen Tang was now the husband-in-law of the princess and also their master.
Furthermore, they had seen with their own eyes the princess's attitude towards Shen Tang.
After resting for a night in Chunyuezhong, Shen Tang woke up early the next morning when a servant came to tell him that He Shi Lie Zhining had arrived.
Shen Tang quickly packed up and went out.
"Shen Tang, I have met the general!"
"Hahaha..." Heshi Liezhining laughed and stood up, "Your Majesty has informed me about your borrowing of troops. After that, we can go to Taiyuan to mobilize troops!"
"Thank you, General!"
Shen Tang said gratefully.
Heshi Liezhining happily patted Shen Tang on the shoulder, "Why thank you? What you did is right. You are the general of our Kingdom of Jin. You will naturally come to our Kingdom of Jin to borrow troops when needed, let alone , you are still the son-in-law of our Dajin Kingdom!"
"However, Your Majesty said that these large armies will only be commanded by you, and you are the only one Your Majesty can trust.
If someone else from the Song Dynasty is allowed to take charge, don’t blame me for not giving face to the troops of the Jin Kingdom.”
Shen Tang and others had already expected this! The Song Dynasty had always been weak. How could Wanyanyong hand over his army to the generals of the Song Dynasty?
"Don't worry, General. Shen Tang has already reported this matter to His Majesty the Song Dynasty. This time, the battle in Chengdu Mansion will be decided by Shen Tang!"
Shen Tang said in response.
"good!"
Heshi Liezhining nodded, "In this case, I feel relieved.
I would naturally be worried if these young men follow others, but if they follow you Shen Tang, there will be no problem! In addition, this time you are the general, and Heihan, Zhuo and Balumu will be your deputy generals.
These people are all your acquaintances, and they are loyal to you, which will save you trouble."
Shen Tang nodded, this is naturally the best!
The two of them did not chat too much and simply ate some food. Then, they led a group of guards and set off directly, leaving Zhongdu City and heading towards Taiyuan.
As for the successful borrowing of troops, after talking to Wanyan Yong yesterday, Shen Tang sent his guards back to the Song Dynasty to report to Zhao Shen and Zhang Jun what he and Wan Yanyong had decided. Moreover, the Sizhou soldiers Zhang Jun also needs to start allocating...
Because the matter was urgent, the guards sent by Shen Tang naturally rushed all the way, even much faster than when Shen Tang and others came. It only took more than ten days to return to Lin'an City.
Zhao Shen was sitting alone in the main hall, with a bit of worry on his face.
Nearly a month has passed since Shen Tang left for the North, and during this month, most of the Chengdu Prefecture has fallen into the hands of the Tubo tribe.
