An extremely strong self-confidence emanated from Zhao Dongting.

This is probably the so-called king domineering.

Zhongsun Guge bore the brunt of the attack, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zhao Dongting's words can be said to be extremely arrogant, but he doesn't feel that there is any moisture in it.

The Great Song Dynasty army was still turned the tide by this little emperor when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and he took Guangxi South Road and other places with a momentum like a bamboo, so that the Yuan Dynasty had to choose to take the initiative to negotiate peace. Although the current national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is empty, it is not difficult to break the Western Xia army such as Kuizhou during the holidays.

The initiative seems to be all in the hands of this little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhongsun Guge, who is over fifty years old, smiled bitterly in his heart.

He hadn't dealt with Zhao Dongting much, so far he could be regarded as a first-hand experience, this famous little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was really extremely difficult.

And when he was still collecting words, Zhao Dongting had already spoken again, "Okay, you go down!" Just pass on my words to your Western Xia Emperor as they are, and when he shows enough sincerity, I will send someone to take over Kuizhou again. Oh, by the way, I don't mind kindly reminding you that the White Horse Army in Shuzhong is not just as easy to deal with as you think, and if I want to take over Kuizhou, it's best to hurry. Otherwise, nine times out of ten, before I took over Kuizhou, your Western Xia army had already been driven back to Lizhou East Road by the White Horse Army. ”

After saying this, he walked directly towards the library again.

Zhongsun Guge looked at Zhao Dongting's back and was stunned for a long time before slowly leaving the palace. look, obviously not good-looking.

After he returned to the official residence, he honestly transmitted Zhao Dongting's words to Lizhou East Road in carrier pigeons.

It's just that the Western Xia Army has just arrived in Chongqing Mansion, and naturally there are no carrier pigeons sent to Lizhou East Road. Lizhou East Road can only send a message to Chongqing Prefecture with an urgent report that travels 800 miles a day.

That's two days in between.

After Li Wangyuan, Zhongsun Qifu and others received the urgent report from Kuaima in Chongqing Prefecture, they were undoubtedly bitter when they saw the contents of the letter.

Originally, it was a clever move to send a master to kidnap Zhao Hao, but after failing, now it seems that he is shooting himself in the foot.

It turned out that the Great Song Emperor was not so easy to talk as he imagined, and their actions had undoubtedly angered the hottest young emperor in the Central Plains.

Li Wangyuan smiled bitterly and said to Zhongsun Qifu: "Teacher, what should we send to the Song Dynasty?" ”

His words have already shown that he will not change his mind again, and would rather have some blood.

Zhongsun Qifu also smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, this Great Song Emperor said that he wanted benefits. Then there will be no such things as gold and silver, grain, horses, cloth, etc. With the prosperity of weapons in the Song Dynasty now, if we send them weapons as compensation, they will definitely not look down on them. ”

Li Wangyuan said: "Then send some?" ”

The ministers of Xixia in the palace all felt a little aggrieved, but at this time, they obviously had nothing to say.

In the letter from Changsha, it was written that the Great Song Emperor was not in a hurry to take Kuizhou, which made them fall into passivity. It's like a cake that was originally fragrant and gluttonous, but suddenly it was disliked.

Now it is no longer the Song Dynasty begging them to exchange Kuizhou for Li Xiushu, but they want to stuff the hot potato of Kuizhou into the hands of the Song Dynasty.

Zhongsun Qifu stroked his beard lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the grain yield of our dynasty is not high, although we have hoarded it over the years, but if it is sent to the Song Dynasty, if we are afraid of dealing with war in the future, it will inevitably be overstretched." According to the old minister's view, it is better to send gold and silver and war horses, although the Song Dynasty got gold and silver, but it is difficult to relieve the difficulty of the empty treasury in a short period of time, and there is no shortage of war horses. In this way, we will not break our muscles and bones, and they will not be able to improve their national strength soon. ”

"Hmm."

Li Wangyuan nodded slowly, "What the teacher said is very true, then do what the teacher says." As for the amount of gold, silver, and horses to be sent, it is up to you to decide. ”

Li Wangyuan doesn't have too many strengths, but he is better than being self-aware. He knew that he was not good at these state affairs, so he was willing to rely on Zhongsun Qifu and others.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the former ministers of Western Xia have always supported Li Wangyuan.

If Li Wangyuan is stubborn and self-serving, he thinks that he is a descendant of the royal family, and he will wear down the patience of these old ministers of Western Xia. I can't say that he will really end up in power.

"Yes."

Zhongsun Qifu gave up his hand and received the order, and immediately left with the ministers to discuss carefully.

If you give less, the emperor of the Song Dynasty may not be satisfied, and if you give too much, you are afraid that you will raise the appetite of the Song Dynasty, and you will feel distressed. So, there are still a lot of scales to be grasped.

To put it bluntly, it's about the same as bargaining for something.

The seller has a seller bottom line, and the buyer has a buyer bottom line. In the end, the winner or loser depends on who can grasp the opponent's bottom line.

Inside the city of Changsha.

After Zhao Dongting implemented several new policies in the political circles, the grain and grass newly recruited by the imperial court failed to fill the treasury, and it was still divided by the defenders and forbidden armies in various places. Those who arrived in Changsha were not able to reach the grain depot, so they were ordered by Zhao Dongting to be sent to the Tiankui Army and other five armies. The Changsha grain depot is still empty.

This made Chen Jianghan, the secretary of the finance department who had to manage the grain and treasury, feel heartbroken, and his eyes blinked less these days.

But with the support of food and grass, the defenders and forbidden troops who had eaten this meal at any time were worried that they had eaten this meal and that the forbidden army had finally stabilized their military hearts.

In addition to serving the country, everyone joined the army just to be able to eat enough.

Zhao Dongting successively transmitted several holy decree stones to Fujian and Guangnan East Road. Ordered Fujian to pacify Huang Hua from the Toutuo army under his command to send 30,000 people to join the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, namely the Tianyan Army, the Tianyou Army, and the Heavenly Air Force, and let all the soldiers and civilians migrate to the She people on the Guangnan East Road.

This is probably the number of people who can be drawn close to the limit of the Toutuo army and the She people's army, and after these people, there are almost only the defenders of each city left.

And these 60,000 forbidden troops, Zhao Dongting unsurprisingly asked Huang Hua and Shi Kaiji to bring them under the command of the military aircraft Ling Wen Tianxiang.

Fortunately, Toutuojun and She Min are now desperately attached to the Song Dynasty, and Huang Hua and Shi Kaiji have no dissatisfaction.

Of course, the main reason for this is that Zhao Dongting previously sealed the two of them as Fujian pacification envoys and Guangnan East Road pacification envoys respectively.

This is definitely a feudal official in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Toutuo army and the She people have a place to thrive.

The emperor's trust cannot be offset by simply sending tens of thousands of soldiers to supplement the forbidden army.

And Zhao Dongting still has a holy decree, which is to order the Flying Army and the Flying Dragon Army to rush back to Changsha.

Song and Yuan discussed peace, and it was obviously not necessary for these two Great Song Special Forces to stay in Fujian.

The carrier pigeon arrived in Changsha again.

Zhongsun Guge entered the palace again, and he was still received by Zhao Dongting outside the Wuding Hall Library Pavilion.

As soon as they met, he took out a secret letter from his sleeve robe, handed it to Zhao Dongting, and said, "Your Majesty the Great Song Dynasty, this is a letter from your emperor in my court." ”

Zhao Dongting opened the letter and muttered: "One hundred thousand taels of silver, five thousand war horses." ”

That's just ten words.

But these words fell on Zhongsun Guge's ears, but it made his face full of heartache.

One hundred thousand taels of silver, which is definitely not a small amount.

But he still had to look at Zhao Dongting's face carefully, for fear that the Great Song Emperor would not agree.

And what made him angry and helpless was that the Great Song Emperor really didn't show a look of satisfaction, but frowned slightly.

Zhao Dongting looked at Zhongsun Guge, as if he was dull and tasteless, and said: "You Xixia are too stingy, just such a little silver, our Great Song Dynasty is really not lacking." It seems that I don't know the price, and it's hard for you to give me a price that satisfies me. In this way, if you write back to tell your emperor that he will double these silver taels and war horses again, I will promise to send troops to take over Kuizhou, and send your princess Li Xiushu back to your Western Xia emperor safe and sound, how about it? ”

Zhongsun Gu Gerao was full of elegance, and he was also a little trembling at this time.

Fortunately, he still has self-cultivation, and he was silent for dozens of seconds, and said: "Your Majesty, double it again, isn't it...... Our Western Xia is not rich, I'm afraid we can't take it out......"

Zhao Dongting only said: "If you can't take it out, you Zhongsun Guge can't do what he said." You just pass back my words. ”

Zhongsun Guge's face was full of grievances.

Originally, I thought that this envoy in the Great Song Dynasty was a good errand, but now I always feel that it is really a chore. Bow your head and don't say anything, you have to be looked down upon by the Great Song Emperor.

As an envoy, he was also a member of the Eight Classics in the Western Xia Dynasty. When the Great Song Emperor said it, he was just a nine-grade sesame official.
