The credentials of Bei Liao were presented by Wang Zhongzheng.
Zhao Xi looked at the beginning: "Go back and ask your Northern Liao court to submit another letter of credence. If it is still called this, I don't mind an all-out war!"
After Zhao Xi finished speaking, he handed down his credentials directly.
What the hell? You actually call me the emperor’s nephew? You, Yelu Hongji, are you the loser?
This is a repeat of the old trick. Liao Shengzong and Guochao Zhenzong were the protagonists in signing the Tanyuan Alliance. After the late emperor came to the throne, Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu was still on the throne. Whenever the credential was issued, it was the emperor's nephew who opened his mouth. Many times in Guochao
After sending envoys and going back and forth dozens of times, Fang once again evened his seniority with the Liao Emperor.
Finally the brotherhood was restored once again.
Later, Liao Xingzong Yelu Zongzhen came to the throne, and the country was in a weak position, so it did not dare to call Yelu Zongzhen as the emperor's nephew.
According to the brotherly relationship recognized by both the late emperor and the Liao Shengzong, when the late emperor was in power, today's Yelu Hongji should call him "Grandpa Huang"...
It's just that the country is weak, and they still dare not regard themselves as elders, and have always referred to each other as a country of brothers.
Unexpectedly, Yelu Hongji, who should be his nephew, is actually a generation older himself!
Zhao Xi actually thinks this is nonsense and wants to destroy the entire dynasty. If he continues to talk nonsense, does this marriage mean nothing?
Such a trick reminded Zhao Xi of the spiritual victory method of later generations. It turns out that this thing also has an inheritance. Could it be that Yelu Hongji of Northern Liao had this little ability left?
This approach...how should I put it, there is no real harm, but it is very suffocating.
It was like child's play. The two of them quarreled and treated each other as if they were father-in-law. It wasn't painful or itchy, but they were just unhappy. But I didn't expect Beiliao to be so boring!
Zhao Xi felt that the most appropriate thing to do was to call Yelu Hongji, you are a grandson...that is too much nonsense. But arguing is just nonsense.
"Is this your sincerity in negotiating with the Liao Dynasty? This is unreasonable! Go back! Tell the Liao Emperor to prepare for war and welcome the wrath of my Song Dynasty's millions of troops!"
"You will pay the price for your frivolity, and you will also understand how important etiquette is!"
"Your Majesty, I think it's time for the imperial court to question Zhong'e. Why is there such a delay in marching eastward? Uncle Lu Kai has already moved the Hebei Province frontline headquarters to Tang County. It is imperative for the two armies to join forces. Can Zhong'e do it?
If it doesn’t work, change it!”
Is this the death of a master who humiliates his ministers? Zhao Xi is just a little unhappy. He doesn't feel that he has been insulted too much. Unexpectedly, the political minister will get involved.
Even Wen Yanbo, who had always been prudent about protecting his own safety, shouted to let Zhong E Dong go in.
"The Zhong'e army will capture Dachuan Ridge within ten days!"
Uh... Although it was very enjoyable to arrange the troops in front of the Northern Liao envoys, it was just a matter of scaremongering. Why did the officials really give the order?
The atmosphere created simply cannot be refuted.
Originally, everyone was just putting on a show to express their feelings of humiliation and death. It didn’t really mean anything. They just conveyed to the Liao envoy that we were very angry.
But the official family...~
Zhao Xi followed Wen Yanbo's instructions and directly ordered Zhong'e to advance eastward.
This kind of Hubei keeps harassing the other party without an imperial edict. If there is an edict, I am afraid it will really be unstoppable.
My Majesty! Didn't we agree that Zhong'e would be withdrawn, Guo Kui would step on top, and then Zhong'e would go north? Why did he change his mind again?
There is no change of heart, and Zhao Xi doesn’t have that habit. Who said that you can’t attack when you withdraw your troops?
Guo Kui and Zhong'e exchanged defenses. Now Zhong'e was ready to withdraw from Hengshan, while Guo Kui was still marching eastward. At this time, Zhong'e was desperate to fight again... I guess Beiliao would be a little confused.
Mind right?
Even the princes in the political hall who knew the grand strategy were a little stunned, let alone those outsiders?
This is the effect you want!
In this way, in front of the Liao envoy, in an atmosphere of unwillingness and unwillingness, the imperial court completed the process of an edict.
The Liao envoy watched like this, and he even saw the Zhongguan rushing north with the imperial edict...~
Was it wrong? Was the Liao court wrong? Will the war really continue?
No way! Thirty percent of the war horses are already useless. If we don't keep them, nearly 100,000 war horses will be useless in Daliao next year.
Heavy snow has hindered the supply of food and grass, and the warriors at the front can no longer feed their bellies. How can we fight this battle?
Wrong! Really wrong! Since we are going to negotiate, why bother to gain the upper hand on these issues? There is no need.
I don’t know when the Liao Dynasty began to imitate the Song Dynasty and began to think about these boring things.
Could it be that Daliao was reduced to using words to cover up its shame?
The Liao envoy left the Qinzheng Hall in a daze, not even feeling the temperature changes inside and outside. He arrived at Dutingyi in a daze...
"Quick! Prepare your horses and leave the city! Be sure to report today's events to Your Majesty!"
The memorial from the Liao envoy was delivered very quickly, faster than the war edict of the Song Dynasty... The soldiers in Dachuanling must be withdrawn. Since we have lost and decided to negotiate an armistice, there is really no need to create any more complications.
The Liao envoys were anxious, and so were the ministers of the country!
How can a well-proposed strategy be changed at the drop of a hat?
"Your Majesty, if the Zhong'e army marches eastward to fight in Dachuanling, it will affect the overall military deployment. It shouldn't be like this!"
Fu Bi was anxious. He was worried that this would really lead to an all-out war.
Although there is a saying that the master humiliates his ministers to death, it is necessary to give Beiliao some color, but if the color is too strong, it will no longer be a color, and it may become a mess.
"Fu Xiang, the itinerary of Guo Kui's army has not changed, and the same is true for Zhong'e. It is just a position attack before the withdrawal, and it will not affect the overall defense. Seeds will understand..."
Zhong E really understands it.
Dachuan Ridge is already in the territory of Weizhou. If tens of thousands of cavalry are deployed in Dachuan Ridge, the two parties will eventually sign an alliance. Regardless of whether it is in Yunzhou, Yingzhou, or Hongzhou, Dachuan Ridge will be crucial. It is far away from any possible signing place.
Only a hundred miles away.
The land of a hundred miles is a distance of two hours for Bei Liao's elite cavalry. Once there is a change in the signing of the treaty, Bei Liao's preset cavalry to move north here may very well put the officials in danger!
It is essential to be on guard against others! Zhong'e had long wanted to capture Dachuanling, but the imperial court had decided to negotiate and ordered his army to march north to the Changqing and Tiancheng areas to guard against the Northern Liao Feng Shengzhou cavalry.
He had to carry out the planting. He originally wanted to explain it to Guo Kui when he switched defenses. Now there is no need. He can do it before withdrawing the troops...
Dachuanling is a pass in the northeast of Hengshan Mountain. A canyon runs from east to west, and to the south are high mountains and ridges, blocking the road from Fanzhi to the north.
But in the middle of Dachuan Ridge, there is a passage to the north that can accommodate ten people walking side by side. Through this passage, you can go directly to the east of Yunzhou...
According to Zhao Xi's judgment, Beiliao's planned negotiation location will definitely not be in the Fanzhi Daizhou area, and they do not dare to take risks.
The biggest possibility is to the east of Yunzhou, which is a plain area washed by the Sanghao River, which is conducive to cavalry operations...
If this is the case, the canyon in Dachuan Ridge, where surprise troops can be found, will become a top priority.
At this time, Beiliao gave him an excuse to send troops to win...
