Chapter 2028 Bravely sending troops, it is another battle to destroy the country
Around the time when Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and Zhang Xian were being escorted by Yang Yizhong and were about to arrive at Henan Prefecture, negotiations with Xingren Prefecture on the East and West Road in Beijing were ongoing with Chai Jin, the envoy of the Qi Dynasty, but it was protracted and continued.
Wang Lun, a minister of the Song Dynasty who was progressing slowly, seemed to be used to this slow and protracted negotiation process. After all, Wang Lun could not return to Bian before completing the mission of signing a letter of credence with the Qi Dynasty to confirm a ceasefire and a truce, and to defend the territory with the Song Dynasty.
After Jing Chaotang returned to power, he decided to stay in the post house in Jiyin City, Xingren Prefecture for a long time. During the negotiation process, he got a lot closer to Chai Jin, who was sent by the Qi Dynasty.
The recent negotiations focused on the fact that the Song Dynasty strongly demanded that the Qi Dynasty return all the state capitals previously captured under the rule of Jiangnan, while the Qi Dynasty insisted on sticking to the bottom line and only continued the peace negotiation on the premise of the current scope of rule between the two countries. Both sides must compare their spending.
Although Wang Lun also thought about how to use eloquent words to get some benefits for Song Ting, he also knew very well that Chai Jin would probably use the excuse of submitting Xiao Tang's decision to adjust the negotiation schedule.
I had to procrastinate... As time went by, I became more and more anxious. After Wang Lun was ready to explain clearly what he wanted to say, he and Chai Jin had tea and chatted, talking about romance and anecdotes.
Mental preparation...
However, this time when Wang Lun and a few companions arrived at the government office, they were shocked to see a group of Qi Dynasty soldiers wearing helmets and armor, carrying guns and knives, who had already been waiting in formation, standing tall like a mountain, with a desolate and killing atmosphere. As for these
Chai Jin, the Minister of Rites of the Qi Dynasty, who had also gotten along well with him, sat upright and waited for Wang Lun to come.
Although he had roughly expected that the Qi Dynasty would arrange such an arrangement, presumably to cut off any further peace negotiations with the Song court, Wang Lun looked around in panic, approaching the earth-colored officials accompanying him, and even the Qi Dynasty generals who had surrounded them. He still stared.
He looked at Chai Jin and said angrily: "Chai Shangshu, what do you mean by this!?"
Chai Jin stood up slowly, then bowed deeply to Wang Lun, and said in a long voice: "Ms. Wang, your Majesty has received an oral order from your Majesty to sever peace negotiations with the Song Dynasty. There is no room for maneuver, and we have decided to start another war.
It is not because our government has launched an unprovoked attack on the enemy. The two states of Qi and Song originally grew up from the same roots, but now they are facing each other and fighting from time to time. In the long run, the generals and soldiers under the rule will inevitably suffer from the same roots. Naturally, the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain.
Prolonged chaos and uncertainty will lead to long-term pain. Killing in one battle and punishing in one order will cause short-term pain. Only when the kings and emperors are one family in the world can the Central Plains be stabilized, and there is no need to divide the Qi people and the Song people and destroy each other.
, The current ruler of the Song Dynasty is ignorant and has lost his way, but my Majesty has benefited the world with his kindness and has been welcomed by everyone. It is also suitable for the great cause of unification and stability of the world.
The leader of the Song Dynasty refused to surrender to the Zen throne, so the two dynasties would inevitably start war again. No matter how eloquent Wang Xianggong was, it would be of no avail. And since our dynasty has sent troops to the Gyeonggi Road, there is no guarantee that all the officials will not be affected by the danger of the war.
Due to the danger, I was worried about the safety of Mr. Wang, so I had to temporarily force a group of people to stay in Xingren Mansion. As for the Song court post officials who went to Bianjing to report news, they were also under the control of our army and horses.
, and no official of the Song Dynasty has been harmed, and Mr. Wang does not need to worry about it. It is just that he is a little rude and disrespectful to you by entertaining you now. I hope Mr. Wang will forgive me..."
Although Chai Jin said it politely, the Qi army officers and soldiers who had already surrounded Wang Lun and other envoys from the Song court were all carrying swords and guns. The surrounding generals came forward, and the Song court officials, mainly weak scholars, Already panicking, even though a few stubborn scribes protested angrily, they were all restrained by the tough military men. Of course, the rest had no choice but to let the Qi Dynasty soldiers deal with them.
And Wang Lun was inevitably dragged down by three or four soldiers. He still threw his arms and kicked his legs, trying to protest verbally with Chai Jin, but soon Wang Lun suddenly woke up and felt in his heart. He secretly said: Xiao Tang agreed to our request to send envoys to negotiate for peace. However, Qi Dynasty deliberately delayed the negotiations these days. They originally thought that this was to gain the upper hand and raised the price, taking advantage of the peace negotiations to seek benefits. A bigger advantage, but now they are forcibly detaining us and other envoys from the Song Dynasty who came for peace talks. But what is the difference between this and undeclared war?
As for Xiao Tang, although he had no loyalty at all and rebelled against the imperial court and sought independence, he taught the loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty to scorn him for his rebellion and rebellion... But other than that, as far as I know, I know that he has always attached great importance to reputation and reputation, helping the Central Plains, running the army and the people, and striving to make a name for himself every time he went to war to promote and build momentum... But now he is forcibly detaining us when the two countries are negotiating peace, and brazenly After all, sending troops is inconsistent with etiquette. But now Xiao Tang suddenly turned his back and detained the envoys. He seemed not to care whether the troops were famous or not... Considering that his personality should not be capricious, so his behavior now is a cover-up. Mo had already made up his mind when the Song Dynasty sent envoys to negotiate for peace. Waiting for the opportunity to launch an army brazenly would definitely hit the heart of the Song Dynasty!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Gyeonggi Road is also the Ningling area adjacent to Gyeonggi Road to the west.
Although the Song army officers and soldiers who were stationed at various military camps along the east side of the county and were on guard against each other with the Qi Dynasty troops and horses under the Qi Dynasty's rule in the east also patrolled and scouted every day, most of the soldiers had a lazy and lazy daily appearance. I can't even lift my spirits.
After all, the officials of the Song court sent envoys to show weakness to Xiao and Tang and beg for peace. In this way, the momentum of the two armies was already at a disadvantage during the confrontation. In fact, the officers and soldiers of the Song army had little hatred towards the Qi Dynasty compared to the Jinlu foreign invaders. What's more important is that the Song Army coach Yue Fei on Jinghu Road was convicted and dismissed by the court. Once the news spread that he was imprisoned and questioned, even the Song Army generals who had never met Yue Fei knew what the Yue Family Army could do over the years. Zheng was famous for being good at fighting. But now that Yue Fei has been dismissed and demoted, and the court is so unclear about rewards and punishments, no matter how hard he fights with his life, he may not be able to escape. Instead, he will be suppressed and persecuted by the powerful officials in the court. With the publicity of avoidance spreading, the morale of the border defense troops will inevitably plummet. How can we teach the soldiers to be alert to foreign enemies?
Therefore, except for the lazy lieutenant generals in various military camps, they are just idle and messing around all day long. Even though there are some sergeants on border patrol, most of them are just working like a monk hitting the clock every day to deal with their errands. As for the Qi and Song dynasties, when they conducted routine patrols with each other during the period of war and peace talks, the two sides had roughly determined the boundary line and each patrolled one side. They had always been in peace with each other, even because most of the soldiers in each other's armies were originally from the same place. Being from a Han family in the Central Plains, they could still say hello and chat with each other. And if there was no one familiar among the Qi Dynasty's patrolling army, the Song court's border defense troops would often take the initiative to avoid each other in order to avoid each other as much as possible. Friction leads to unnecessary conflicts...
However, on this day, a group of Song army officers and soldiers who were patrolling the military border as usual suddenly saw a large number of Qi Dynasty army horses galloping towards them from the east. There was no warning in advance, and the soldiers who were leading the charge were all armored and concentrated.
Murderous. And behind the Qi Chao cavalry, there were even denser numbers of soldiers gathered together, forming a formation and marching towards the Song soldiers, who were already so frightened that their expressions suddenly changed...
...
Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that these were clearly not the border guards of the Qi Dynasty who were patrolling the border as usual, but an enemy army that was about to invade and attack the Song Dynasty's Gyeonggi Road!
