Chapter 870: Leaf Peeling
Ye Qing's victory in Guanshan and the defeat of the begging Shilie gods and slaves in Guanshan not only did not make Wan Yan Jing's will depressed, but became more and more excited and eager to try, and he had the intention of continuing to fight with Ye Qing.
And from the identities of the two envoys he sent, it can be determined that Wan Yanjing is becoming more and more frustrated now, and he is willing to give up only if he has to distinguish the victory or defeat with him, a short-lived gentleman.
After all, no matter whether the relationship between Song and Jin is tense or peaceful, the Jin people led their troops to help Liao, it can be said that Wanyan Yongji and Ye Qing hit it off, so it can be said that Ye Qing has always owed Wei Shao Wang Wanyan Yongji a great favor.
And another Jin envoy, although it was the first time he met Ye Qing, he was already known by his name and had not seen him, but he had some intersections with Ye Qing indirectly, and this person's identity was not low at all compared to Wanyan Yongji, the king of Wei Shao, at this time above the Jin court.
Li Xiang, a name that Ye Qing was extremely unfamiliar with, when he was introduced by Wanyan Yongji, Ye Qing only smiled politely at the other party.
Wanyan Yongji seemed to know that this would be the case, and then explained: "Lord Ye may not know that the two sons of Lord Li Xiang and Lord Li also had a relationship with Lord Ye, and like this king, they were all left in Jinan Mansion by Lord Ye. So Lord Ye understands now? ”
The father-in-law of Emperor Wan Yan Jing of the Jin Kingdom, the father of Concubine Li Shi'er, and also the father of Li Xi'er and Li Tiege, who had been imprisoned after Ye Qing attacked Jinan Mansion, Li Xiang, has now relied on his daughter to receive Yan Jing's favor, and has become an extremely important figure in the court.
"It turned out to be this Lord Li." Ye Qing saluted again, and then a few people sat down in priority.
Since Chang'an City is now the city of the Song Dynasty, Ye Qing must be sitting on the main seat, and Wanyan Yongji doesn't care about the guests, but Li Xiang has some dissatisfaction in his expression, but he hasn't had a seizure.
"Wan Yan Jing values Ye so much that he actually sent King Wei Shao and Master Li to discuss the matter, Ye is really flattered." After Ye Qing sat down, he looked at Yu Yunwen next to him and said with a smile.
"But I just don't know if King Wei Shao and Master Li can come here this time with full sincerity to make peace? In the battle of Guanshan, your country wants to reap the benefits, secretly unites with the Xia people, and tries to intercept Lord Ye with a large army...... King Wei Shao and Master Li won't make a special trip to this trip, right? Of course, King Wei Shao and Lord Li can say that Lord Ye's army of planting flowers only fought against the Xia people, and the general of your country, the begging stone martyr gods, did not order a single soldier to participate in the Xia people's encirclement and suppression of Lord Ye. But King Wei Shao and Lord Li knew that it was precisely because of the 10,000 army of General Qishilie Zhushennu and the 20,000 army of Chen Bing Yu Xiqin Road that Yu failed to rush to the aid of Lord Ye in time, so that the army of the Flower Planter under Lord Ye was completely wiped out, and Lord Ye was also seriously injured, and he was still lying on the sickbed and unable to get up. Doctor Gu said that whether Lord Ye can wake up depends on the situation, the injury is so serious, even after waking up, he probably needs to take good care, and the price of medicine is so expensive now, it is extremely difficult for my Jingzhao Mansion to afford this medicine. Yu Yunwen sighed and complained, as if the spirited Ye Qing sitting next to him was air or a dummy.
Regarding Yu Yunwen's eyes open and talking nonsense behind him, Wanyan Yongji listened carefully and very seriously, especially when he heard that Ye Qing was seriously injured because of the battle, the worried and nervous look matched Yu Yunwen's words, and the cooperation was just right.
And Li Xiang on the other side is full of disdain, people are sitting there openly, you Yu Yunwen just open your eyes and talk nonsense? Are you worthy of your conscience? Is there any more politeness and shame? It's not such a way to ask for a price, so why don't you make some sense?
"Yes, what Lord Yu said is right, now the Song Dynasty is difficult, the Jingzhao Mansion is even more difficult, the soldiers have been killed and injured countless times, and I am also seriously injured and can't get up, and ......." Ye Qing looked at the entrance of the hall even more melancholy, and sighed: "Now that so many people have died in battle, I don't know how many orphans and widows there are in this world." So Ye also hopes that King Wei Shao and Master Li can be sincere, those unnecessary bargains, we are all so familiar, we can avoid it, how about it? ”
"Ye Qing, you are simply too deceitful! Are you really afraid of you when I am a big gold country? I waited for the Holy Divine Decree to negotiate peace with you, and it was also because of the old teacher-student relationship between you and him that I was reluctant to be aggressive, and hoped that the friendship between the two countries would continue for generations! But if Lord Ye makes such an impudent request, or even reverses right and wrong, and wants to black-and-white to blackmail my Dajin Kingdom, then don't blame the iron horsemen of my Dajin Kingdom, and tomorrow I will step into Jingzhaofu Road from Xiqin Road! Li Xiang slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up and scolded angrily.
It's just nonsense, people are obviously sitting in front of their eyes, but they have become seriously injured and can't wake up, and they can't afford to be in a situation, and the vigorous flower planting army has made this Chang'an government office impassable, extremely strict, and in their mouths, it has become because of the Jin people and the whole army has been wiped out, it is simply nonsense, nonsense, and shameless!
"So, Lord Li wants to start a fight?" Yu Yunwen said lightly: "That's okay, it's not bad for us to talk about it after we finish fighting, it's more convincing." That's it, then tomorrow, it just so happens that the 30,000 troops on my Jingzhaofu Road have also been assembled at the border, so let's fight happily first, who wins and listens to whom, how Lord Li? ”
"You ......." Li Xiang was choked by Yu Yunwen's relaxed and leisurely, but confident and domineering words, and didn't know what to say.
The purpose of this time is to negotiate peace, but I don't want to fight with the Song people at this time, after all, the Song people have just taken Guanshan, which has been occupied by the Xia people for many years, and at this time, whether it is the morale of the army or the will to kill, it is much stronger than the Jin soldiers who were driven out of Guanshan by the Song people without sending a single soldier.
Therefore, if the two countries are at war at this time, the Jin people are not completely sure of winning, but they are sure of losing to the Song people again, which seems to be greater in their opinion.
More importantly, the Jin people can't afford to lose now, and after the Beidi Five Roads were recovered by the Song people, the blow to the morale of the Jin people was devastating, so that it has not completely recovered until now.
And this time, if the Song people fight with the Song people west of the two countries when the morale of the armies is at their peak after taking Guanshan, it is not terrible to lose a small game, but the terrible thing is that the Song people will take the opportunity to continue to go north, so as to take the Xiqin Road and other Hetao three roads in one go, and then for the entire Jin country, it will be equivalent to a catastrophe, and it will be equivalent to the Song people, completely driving the Jin people to the north of the Yellow River, such a blow is completely unbearable for them at the moment.
Wan Yan Jing urgently needed a victory to stop the bleeding of the Jin army, stabilize the morale of the army, and improve morale, so he naturally chose to avoid its edge at this time and fight a Song army in the territory of the Song court, whose morale was not so high, to seek a victory.
Jingzhaofu Road is impossible, after all, people have just fought a hearty war with the Xia people, which can make them blush with the results of victory, if they choose to fight with the Song people with high fighting spirit in Jingzhaofu, it is equivalent to giving people heads.
Therefore, Wan Yan Jing's gaze naturally moved to the side of Jinan Mansion, where Ye Qing didn't pay much attention at this time.
As long as Wanyan Yongji can negotiate peace with Li Xiang and Ye Qing in Jingzhao Mansion, then on the other hand, he can free up his hands to fight Jinan Mansion, even if it is a small victory, even if he can't successfully attack the city and seize the land at the first time, but as long as he wins, it will be enough for Wanyan Jing at the moment, enough for him to stabilize the morale of the army, and then try to go south.
Naturally, Wan Yanjing also thought that Ye Qing would guard against him in Jinan Mansion, so until now, he had not decided whether to fight Jinan Mansion or Jingzhao Mansion.
But no matter what, he had to make peace with Ye Qing first, so as to paralyze Ye Qing, and similarly, let the various armies under Ye Qing's command keep moving things back and forth after just winning a battle, so as to consume their high morale when they were exhausted on both sides, and then choose a more favorable place for the main attack.
Ye Qing's troops were small, and the envoys sent by Zhao Ruyu at the beginning, made Wan Yan Jing easily realize that the soldiers under Ye Qing's command were only limited to the five roads in the north, and the Song court behind him would never give him even the support of a jailer until now, so it was naturally extremely beneficial for Wan Yan Jing to consume the morale of Ye Qing's army back and forth.
The four of them were silent, thinking about which was more important at this moment, and they were all silently making their own little calculations in their hearts.
In the end, it was Wanyan Yongji who broke the silence with a smile and asked, "Then I don't know what Lord Ye's conditions are?" Of course, if it is too much to make the Holy Lord too embarrassed, then maybe the Holy Lord will not hesitate to fight with Lord Ye. What's more, Lord Ye's current situation, this king also knows a little bit, and the number of troops you can use to fight a battle now is definitely not as much as my Dajin Kingdom. Song Ting behind you, I'm afraid I don't know that you have taken Guanshan at this time, and I won't support you and give you the help you want before you return to Lin'an to quell the incident, right? And...... With this little soldier under the command of Lord Ye, it is not an easy thing to completely hold the few roads led by Jingzhaofu, Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Jinan, if my Dajin surprises and finds the most empty area of the five roads in the north, Lord Ye, the consequences are also unimaginable, right? ”
Wanyan Yongji is obviously much more thorough and ruthless than that Li Xiang, and he immediately said Ye Qing's current weaknesses and predicament.
Without the support of the Song Dynasty, just relying on the armies that had just been formed in the past few years by the Beidi Fifth Road, they confronted the Jin State in terms of numbers, and they were already holding on alone, so if they really had to fight with the Jin people openly, Ye Qing was indeed not sure that he would be able to withstand the onslaught of the Jin people on all roads.
Now the relationship between him and Song Ting is extremely delicate, let him return to Lin'an immediately and settle the matter behind him first, he also does not have so many bargaining chips in his hand to negotiate with Song Ting and get back together.
Therefore, after taking Guanshan, he still needs to continue to build momentum for himself, that is, to take the Hetao Three Roads, and then announce the affairs of the royal clan in the north to the world.
At that time, when he returned to Lin'an, he would have enough bargaining chips in his hand to level the court, and there would be more people in the world who were willing to give themselves enough support in morality, spirituality, patriotism, and the motive of recovering the northern land and being ashamed of the two saints.
No matter how big or small the family is, no matter how strong or weak the country is, there are always superficial or deep-seated problems.
Ye Qing has such and such troubles, and in the same way, Jin Guo also has their secrets, and they dare not put it on the negotiation table, so they can only try their best to cover it up, so as not to be seen through by Ye Qing and others, and then make them fall into a passive situation of negotiation.
"Fight with Yan Jing and fight with your country?" Ye Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Yan Yongji, and said lightly: "I, Ye Qing, can bear it, it's a big deal to cross the Yangtze River and return to the Song Dynasty, as long as my command is still effectively loyal to my army, I can hold my Ye Qing's life in Lin'an. But...... King Wei Shao, after you ask Yan Jing, can he afford a miserable victory? Not to mention the possibility of defeat. If your country wants to fight with me with all its might, your country's Shangjing, Zhongjing and other territories will be in the pocket of the Tatars, right? ”
Looking at Li Xiang's disdainful expression, Ye Qing was not angry, and continued to smile lightly: "Ming people don't do dark things, let's open the skylight and say bright things." Jin, Xia, and Song Ting secretly united to encircle and suppress me Ye Qing this time, and the three of them completely took what they needed, but it is undeniable that I, Ye Qing, am already a thorn in your eyes and a thorn in your flesh. But as the so-called long-distance and close attack, in addition to you, there should have been Tatars who surrounded and suppressed me Ye Qing, at least there should have been Temujin, but...... Obviously disappointed you. Therefore, if Wan Yan Jing really wants to do his best to start a war with me, will he put the Dajin Kingdom on his back and suffer the enemy, and then the final victory or defeat...... King Wei Shao, do you think you still have bargaining chips in your hands? ”
Wanyan Yongji closed his lips tightly and didn't speak, but Li Xiang was pale at this time, with a look of shock and disbelief, the north of the Jin Kingdom has been harassed by the Tatars, this is an indisputable fact, but how could Ye Qing be so clear? And it seems that they know no less about what is going on there than they do!
"Your country can conquer the habitual war, now except for the begging Shilie gods and slaves have returned to Yanjing, because he wants to take over Li Xi'er and Li Tiege to defend the capital, and the rest can lead the troops to fight, and those who are talented enough are nothing more than Wanyan Xiang, Wanyan Zonghao, Zhang Jian, plus an old and strong Wanyan Shoudao, at this time Zhang Jian is in Xiqin Road Chen Bing, and the other three are all in the north of your country, it is said that Wuzhou has been guarded by Wanyan Shoudao, but it is only able to hold it, and wants to take the initiative to attack the Tatars, It's already more than enough to be strong, right? Ye Qing analyzed the generals of the Jin Kingdom with a smile, and while talking eloquently, he was aggressive, and all the chips that Wanyan Yongji and Li Xiang could use were all smashed.
But I have to say that Ye Qing's grasp of the situation in the Jin Kingdom is no worse than that of Wanyan Yongji and Li Xiang, and even in some details, he is a little clearer and more thorough than the two.
Wanyan Yongji shook his head and smiled bitterly, Li Xiang was a little nervous on the side, not knowing what to do.
"This king has always known that Lord Ye is simply a nightmare for my Dajin, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. When my Dajin was strong and strong, how could you Song Ting dare to talk to us like this? Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Lord Ye, this king has a lot of friendship with you, and it is also quite speculative, since we have what we have in each other's hands, everyone knows it well, so this king will not hide it. As long as it is not excessive, this king can accept it, and he can agree to it on behalf of the saint. Wanyan Yongji said at the end, and involuntarily accentuated his tone.
"In the way of others, they should be treated as they are." Ye Qing leisurely picked up the teacup, in Li Xiang's eyes, what kind of thing was done by a seriously injured person who couldn't wake up?
"Lord Ye might as well just say it." Wanyan Yongji's heart couldn't help sinking, he had expected it before he came, after all, the humiliation that Jin Guo gave to Song Ting back then could be described as innumerable, and now when it was the turn of others to retaliate, how could he care about the short-lived teacher-student friendship and speculation with himself.
"Today's event is 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver......." Ye Qing put down the teacup and said.
"Impossible! No way! Ye Qing, let me tell you, this condition ....... Li Xiang shot the case again, 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, he really dared to open his mouth, you just go directly to Yanjing to grab it.
"Master Li, don't be excited, I haven't finished talking yet." Ye Qing said lightly without being angry at all.
"What, what more do you want? Do you really think that we dare not fight you? Li Xiang roared angrily.
Under Wanyan Yongji's appeasement, Li Xiang finally sat down angrily, but it did not prevent Li Xiang from being angry again, but only whispered to appease.
Obviously, this is also their strategy for coming to negotiate this time, that is, one sings red face and the other sings blackface, so that unknowingly, the other party feels that their demands are really excessive.
But they also obviously misestimated Ye Qing, Ye Qing is not only ruthless and decisive, but also the thick-skinned and shameless virtues that half a politician should have can also be fully reflected in him.
"In addition to 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver, there are also ...... Oh, here it is. Ye Qing took the list handed over by Yu Yunwen with his hand, and the dense black characters on it made Wanyan Yongji, who glanced at it on the side, a little dizzy.
"Back then, you plundered my Great Song Dynasty capital and robbed my Great Song Palace, and in those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare jewelry, etc., except for rare treasures that can be used as gold and silver, the rest are not allowed to be worth us. Also, as for how to offset the price, it is naturally not up to you, lest you take a broken stone and say that this is the favorite thing of our two saints back then, and it can be worth 10,000 taels of silver, in that case, won't we lose to grandma's house? So it's up to us to decide how to set the price and how to bargain. As for antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other things in the palace and capital, even if they are ...... In this way, if King Wei Shao can't make up his mind, you can ask Yan Jing's opinion first, I have been a gentleman for him for more than half a year, but he has not bowed to the teacher, and he has never given this gentleman any gifts, so you might as well ask him urgently for a while, can you make up for the friendship between teachers and students in the past today? For example, those calligraphy, paintings, pianos, and chess, as well as a mess of some relics of our two saints, etc., you are useless, keep it and occupy the space, it is better to give it to me, I will help you dispose of it, just when I return to Lin'an, I will return it to the Great Song Dynasty royal family, maybe it can be promoted to a level...... ”
Ye Qing looked at the list in his hand and said that his spit was flying and his eyebrows were dancing, and Li Xiang next to him was already angry and alive, and he never thought that there would be such a brazen person in the world.
Wanyan Yongji held his forehead, it didn't matter what he heard in his ears at the end, but the buzzing sound already made him dizzy, and he couldn't wait to get up immediately, strangle the leaf and peel the skin, and let him stop chattering, and there was no end to it!
