Chapter 698

After reading it, I was relieved. The content of the letter didn't make up my mind to kill. I just wanted to hear his opinion.

He subconsciously wanted to persuade him to stop. After all, he had made preparations for the negotiation and made an unexpected move. Most people in the capital would be blocked by the state of song, including the Gao family.

When he wanted to reply like this, he hesitated again. He got up and wandered in the study. Fan Zhuan's eyes followed him around.

Still, Niu Youdao just wanted to listen to his opinions. He didn't let him speak from the standpoint of the imperial court, nor did he take into account his personal gains and losses. After thinking over and over again, Gao Jiancheng decided to give a pertinent reply, and asked fan Zhuan to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone again to draft it himself.

……

"Six hundred thousand prisoners?" Luo Zhao asked in surprise. He was on horseback in the marching army.

Before, when I was angry and attacked my heart and vomited blood, a monk used magic to recuperate my body, but my body didn't have much problem.

The news of song envoy Qian Liansheng came. Confirm here whether there are 600000 prisoners of the state of song in the hands of Yan Jun.

When attacking Yanjing here, we should naturally pay attention to the internal situation of Yanjing and have established contact with Qian Liansheng, the envoy of the Song Dynasty.

The reason why Qian Liansheng sent a message to ask here is that Luo Zhao was presiding over the war. He must be familiar with the war situation. Secondly, Luo Zhao's people and horses have approached Yanjing. The communication distance is close, and he can learn the real situation at the first time.

As the representative of the state of song in charge of affairs in the state of Yan, it is natural to know things well before bargaining with the state of Yan.

Of course, at the same time, Qian Liansheng also sent a message home to inquire about the situation, but Luo Zhao was close and received the message of Qian Liansheng first.

Wen you and others shook their heads. At present, they only know the defeat of Jiangfang people and horses. They haven't mastered how many prisoners mengshanming has captured in a short time.

However, one thing is certain. I believe there are still some prisoners. After all, how can we avoid having no prisoners when so many people and horses are defeated? As for how many are uncertain for the time being.

The main reason is that when the song army was defeated in qunluo mountain, the scope was a little wide. The prisoners were also captured by the departments around qunluo mountain under Meng Shanming's command. The prisoners were not held together. The total number of prisoners counted by each department was unknown to outsiders for the time being, unless spies were placed in the command center of Meng Shanming.

This is not the place to talk about this on the horseback of the army. Luo zhaopai rode out of the procession and stopped on a flat ground outside the official road. Wen you and others followed.

Several people jumped off their horses. Su Yuanbai asked, "600000? Can Yan army catch so many of our prisoners? Will there be fraud?"

Luo Zhao thought and shook his head. "There should be no fraud. Nine times out of ten it is true."

Su Yuanbai was surprised, "why?"

Luo Zhao: "since we want to negotiate, we must verify. There is no need to cheat. It is difficult to catch so many prisoners by ordinary methods of warfare, but mengshanming uses water attack. The army is washed away by water and cannot assemble into an army to counterattack. It will lose military morale and morale. It is possible for 600000 people to be captured."

This is the difference between knowing war and not knowing war. Others have no concept of things, but they can make judgments.

However, this remark made everyone feel very heavy. Unexpectedly, Yan Guo mastered the chips first.

Dongying said, "Dudu, Yan Jun took 600000 Erlang of the Song Dynasty as hostages. Yanjing is afraid he can't start."

Just then, a general came to report, "governor, the will of the imperial court has come."

The so-called will is an urgent message. It is not convenient at this time. People are often sent to set up a serious battle. The army fights, and everything is simple.

Luo Zhao took a look at the letter, a little silent, and handed it over to several people.

Several people knew from the rear that, as Luo Zhao expected, the imperial court really wanted to withdraw troops here to help block Meng Shanming's army.

Chang Fei said, "the news from our side is still on the way." the implication was that the imperial court's will came first.

Luo Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "the news of Yan Guo's request for negotiation sent by Qian Liansheng should also be on the way."

Su Yuanbai said, "Dudu, if Yan Jun really holds 600000 hostages, we in the state of song can't sit idly by. It's inappropriate to continue to march into Yanjing. It's better to withdraw according to the order, so as to avoid you falling a crime of resisting the order!"

Luo Zhao's cheek stretched and said word by word: "you will be outside, your life will not be affected!"

Several people looked at each other, and Dong Ying came to advise, "governor, why do you insist? You also know that the adverse war has fallen on the population. If you resist again, I'm afraid that many people will fall on you. We're also good for you."

Luo Zhao sighed: "If the war is like this, I can't be blamed for my death. I don't care about the consequences. I'll let them be dealt with afterwards! I'm not a civil servant. I can be safe if I don't do anything. As long as there's no accident, I can get along. I'm a military general. Can I get along on the battlefield? So the minds of those civil servants can never really conspire with our soldiers on the battlefield. Withdraw? How to withdraw now? Now the battlefield situation is conducive to the state of Yan , why did the state of Yan negotiate with the great song dynasty? It was only because our army threatened Yanjing that they had to negotiate! "

"The real death is to withdraw now! Once the threat of Yanjing is lifted, do you think it is necessary for the other party to negotiate with us?"

The key point of a sentence makes people look dignified.

"How likely is the outcome of the negotiations to be implemented? There is a chance to annihilate three million main men and horses of the state of song. As the enemy, everyone is jealous. If I am mengshanming, once the threat of Yanjing is lifted, the imperial court's will can be regarded as farting and must tear my face. Our song army can't cross the Dongyu River easily. We can also run out of food and grass and then kill us."

"The 100000 iron cavalry of the Shang Dynasty came and went like the wind, staring at us like a wolf. What's the meaning? It's looking for the best next mobile phone meeting. It's to cooperate with mengshanming and kill my 3 million people."

"They have 600000 hostages in their hands, and we have no bargaining chips in our hands, so we withdraw? What are you talking about? Once Yanjing's threat is lifted, they will be surprised if they can let us go? When there is a chance to destroy us, even if Mengshan cries out and tears his face, Yanjing will turn a blind eye. What negotiation? People will immediately forget all about our food Can Cao return to Yanjing again? "

"So we can't withdraw. We can't talk until we hold Yanjing! Besides, the imperial court doesn't seem to know that we have 600000 hostages in the hands of the state of Yan. The news of Qian Liansheng hasn't arrived at the imperial court. The imperial court doesn't know about the negotiation. So we withdraw first? Who can tell me how to withdraw?"

After all, he is still trying to win the support of the three major factions.

……

In the Embassy of the state of song in Yanjing, Qian Liansheng, who was anxiously waiting, received a message from Song Jing almost at the same time as Luo Zhao.

Song Jing meant to let him negotiate peace on the condition that the state of Yan withdrew its troops from the territory of the state of song, and the state of song did not attack Yanjing and withdrew its troops from the territory of the state of Yan.

In fact, the state of song has to withdraw its troops. The state of song can't break the jar like the state of Yan, which is full of holes. It can't let Meng Shanming mess around in the state of song, let alone force the state of song to the point of life and death.

The purpose of the talks was to hope for the possibility and to help Luo Zhao's 3 million troops retreat smoothly.

The news did not mention the 600000 prisoners. Qian Liansheng looked strange. Did the imperial court not know this or was Yan talking nonsense? Based on his experience, the court of Yan should not talk nonsense about such things.

Fortunately, Luo Zhao's distance was close to him, and Luo Zhao's reply arrived soon.

Luo Zhao said that the situation was complex. It was impossible to confirm whether the other party really had 600000 prisoners for a time. The imperial court probably didn't know about it, but according to his judgment of the war situation, it was entirely possible to estimate 600000 prisoners.

Luo Zhao showed his intention that he would not withdraw his troops according to the order, and asked him to use the pretext that the state of song wanted to verify the 600000 prisoners and ask the state of Yan to cooperate with the verification.

It is really to let the state of song confirm the situation of the prisoners, and also to stabilize the court of the state of Yan first. In case it is true, it can avoid the Yan army from poisoning the 600000 prisoners and win the bargaining chip for the state of song after his army besieges Yanjing!

Luo Zhao directly indicated that he wanted to resist and disobey the purpose. Qian Liansheng was forced to cooperate. Moreover, as a negotiator, he also knew the importance of chips. In addition, it was really necessary to verify the 600000 prisoners. He could only cooperate with Luo Zhao instead of what Yan said.

Qian Liansheng immediately went to dasikong mansion and talked with Tong mo. Shang Jianxiong handed over the negotiation to Tong mo.

When the court of the state of song received the news from Qian Liansheng that the state of Yan wanted to negotiate, it was surprised. Only then did it know that there were 600000 prisoners. It immediately sent a group of friars to verify it. At the same time, it also replied to the news and asked Qian Liansheng to find a way to stabilize the court of the state of Yan first.

……

In qunluo mountain, Yan army took a day off after winning a water attack. After the ground was dry, they were officially ready to start.

Gong Lince, who received the news of Meng Xuan in Yanjing, entered the account of the Chinese army. Seeing that Meng Shanming was arranging the next steps for the generals, he waited aside for a while.

After the arrangement here was finished, Gong Lince revealed his intention and said that the imperial court was going to negotiate with 600000 prisoners, so that the prisoners would not be moved here.

Hearing this, all the generals were in an uproar. As a result, most of them were thrown out by mengshanming.

Su Qitong was very dissatisfied when the idle people stepped down "Headmaster Gong, the current situation is very beneficial to our army. Yan country has become so broken. What else should we be afraid of? Now the internal defense of the state of song is empty. Song should be afraid. In order to protect Yanjing, we have released 600000 elite of the song army. What's the difference from raising tigers? We must take advantage of the situation to cripple the state of song before we can stop!"

Zhang Hu also complained: "The song army wants to attack. What do those people in Yanjing do? They don't have long legs and don't know how to run? When they want their support, they are faster than anyone! How many brothers died here, and it's not easy to turn the situation upside down. Now the state of song is a lamb to be slaughtered facing our army. The war was started by the state of song first. How can we let it go easily! Unexpectedly Negotiations to release people, but also to make preparations for the withdrawal of troops, I am the first not to agree! "

These people are not with the imperial court. The life and death of Yanjing is none of their business. It's strange for them to give up such a good opportunity to hate for a mere Yanjing!
