1363 The death of the country is imminent
As a monarch who has been fighting for half his life and has enjoyed the throne through his own battles and struggles, Shi Hu naturally knows that only by completely destroying the enemy can he enjoy happiness. The so-called peace talks for peace are nothing but foolish people's foolish tricks and self-deception.
He didn't know what Shen Weizhou of the Southern Kingdom wanted to achieve with this trick of punishment, and of course he himself had a plan.
When the ministers were still thinking about discussing and discussing all kinds of things, another major event happened in this camp on the outskirts of Xiangguo: outside the camp where the people gathered, they bowed and begged to say that the Lord of the Holy Ming was unlivable and lying in the ruins, and asked the king of heaven to patrol the north and camp the capital again.
Yes, Shi Hu wanted to negotiate with the south and fight for the vacancy, in order to move the capital.
On the one hand, from the heart, the city of Xiangguo is full of traces of the ancestor Shile, and Shi Hu is not happy. From a practical point of view, Xiangguo has neither the weather of stabilizing the center of the town and the four sides, nor the dangers on the surface of the mountains and rivers, and it is not suitable for the capital of a strong political power.
In the old years, Shi Hu's intended place was Yecheng, the former capital of Wei Wu lived in Hebei, overlooking Henan, and it was the place where Shi Hu's personal achievements were prosperous. It's a pity that this place has been broken by the Jin army several times, and it is too close to the front line to be built and rebuilt.
As for now, he does not have enough ability to recover southern Hebei in the short term, and Xiangguo, the capital that has been neglected for a long time, has been damaged again, and there is no point in repairing it.
Moving the capital has become a natural choice of last resort, on the one hand, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge of a strong enemy, winning the integration of its own forces through temporary evasion, and after lengthening the battle line, it can also gain more geographical advantages in the subsequent confrontation.
On the other hand, concentrating the remaining forces under the current state of the state in northern Hebei can also more effectively contain the counterattack of Daibei, Liaodong and other Zhuhu and create a more stable rear.
"In the old years, the ancestors of the small people, repeatedly sent people, a hundred battles without setbacks, and then became a tripod! Although there are all kinds of difficulties in state affairs now, there are still hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers with armor in the country, and they are still in sight of the retreat of China! ”
Shi Hu not only encouraged himself with this, but also encouraged his ministers: "You and all the others, enjoy the grace of the country for a long time, and share the hardships and hardships." Besides, if it weren't for the shadow attached to me, would An's ability to live on people? Shen of the Jin Kingdom is indeed a Southern Barbarian hero, but he has always been a man, the punishment is harsh, he has no mercy, he holds the Jin Emperor hostage, steals benevolence and righteousness, how many points can he beat me? Now that I am on the verge of honor, I am rich and noble, but Shen still thinks that Sima is a slave, and the future can not be broken, even if you are bent to him, how can you always keep it! ”
Being able to say such a thing is already a rare show of weakness for Shi Hu, which shows that he also knows that he may be able to be intimidated and deterred for a while, but after all, it is difficult to win people's hearts for a long time.
Not to mention how the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom got along with each other and planned to move the capital, after the envoy Liu Fang and others arrived in Yedi, they finally began to conduct actual peace talks with the Jin State.
After determining that there was no danger of annihilation of the Fenwu Division, and at the same time finalizing the strategic policy of Shen Mu's Southern Hebei Wang Division cooperating with Fangtou to force away the Yedi Qiang Army, General Shen returned to Luoyang.
At present, every minute and second is extremely precious, and being able to properly raise the manpower and material resources needed for the general offensive one step ahead of time can give the country a little less respite, and the current General Shen naturally has no time to waste on this kind of peace talk trick that is just a false shot.
Therefore, the current fangtou has resumed the situation of Xie Ai presiding, and still maintains a little bit of pressure on Ma Qiu.
As for the Fenwu army of Shen Yun's subordinates, which still remained in Yebei, after the most dangerous period of time, with the dependence and funding from the people of Yedi, and the soldiers who had lost in the previous battles were also replenished, they were no longer in a hurry to return to the south, but stayed in the area of Shangyanpi, and had already managed a stronghold decently.
And Ma Qiu in Yedi can already be sure that he will not get reinforcements from the country.
Originally, he was still faintly at the bottom of the confrontation with Fangtou, but now it is even more powerful, the Jin army of Fangtou stared at him so that he did not dare to move, and the Jin army in southern Hebei also accelerated to advance to this, and even the Fenwu army, which was originally besieged as a bargaining chip, has now become a spike and shows its fangs again.
If this is the case, Ma Qiu is miserable. Because when the envoy arrived, he quickly informed Xie Ai that the peace talks could be formally held.
After Yongjia, Jiangdong Zhongxing refused all forms of communication with these Hulu regimes, and did not recognize their legitimacy at all. And the state of Qian has always been good at killing and looting, and it is even less than this kind of envoy exchange. Therefore, although the two sides have reached a consensus, what steps should be taken to negotiate are actually relatively unfamiliar.
Xie Ai is still down here, occupying the strategic initiative, especially testing the reality of the country, and determining that Shi Hu, the lord of the country, will not come south from the poor country, and he has more confidence, and it is no longer meaningful to talk about it or not.
As for Ma Qiu, he really needs peace talks, even if he knows that this is false, but as long as there is progress, he can at least stabilize his heart. In such a passive situation, you can only take the first step.
First of all, the request put forward by the State of Xiang was the exchange of hostages, and the Kingdom of Qian had already sent hostages first, that is, the group of relatives of the Shi clan who were rushed into the Jiande Palace of Xiangguo and taken away.
Therefore, the state of Jin asked the state of Jin to also send hostages, although Ma Qiu also knew that saying this was just to cover up his shame, but he could not completely ignore the state system, because he made this request. Of course, he also played a trick and asked the Jin State to also send the children of the clan as hostages.
After all, now everyone in the north and south knows that General Shen is the current speaker of the Jin Kingdom, and he probably wants to weaken the power of the Sima family clan in this way, so there is a high probability that the Jin Kingdom will agree. As long as the other party sends hostages, it can always cover up the chaos of Xiangguo a little, and it is an exchange of hostages, rather than being defeated and captured.
But it was such a simple request, and it was not even sent to Luoyang Xingtai, and it was directly blocked back by Xie Ai in Fangtou: the hostage status of the Jin State is not low, and they are all the sons of the lord Shi Hu, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin State has a thin descendant, and only one son in the swaddling clothes cannot be a hostage.
Dispatch casually, it will inevitably insult the hostages of these princes of the Qiang Kingdom, so they simply will not be sent. If the kingdom of Qiang does not agree, then wait a few more years, and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to have a few more sons and grow up.
Receiving Fangtou's complete response, Ma Qiu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He has already made big concessions, and does not ask the Shen clan who is really in power in the Jin State to be hostages, and even if the war between the two countries starts again, the Shen clan can also use the hand of the Jin State to cut off the Jin clan figures, where is this a condition, this is for the Shen clan to share worries!
But even such a request, Jin Guo actually did not agree, you can imagine the sincerity of the peace talks!
However, now that the peace talks have been reached by the country, it is not Ma Qiu who said that Tun can be stopped, Guan Ming knows that there will be no good results if the talks continue, but he can only talk about it head-on.
So then, the state of Jin made another request for the return of the goods and people looted from the state of Xiang, including the relatives of the clan of the state of Jin.
Xie Ai did not refuse this request, but sent a messenger back to Luoyang to be decided by Xingtai. After more than half a month, there was a reply from Xingtai, not to mention whether to return the property of the Kingdom of Qian, but to send a whole number of large boxes of books, it is said that it is the forbidden lost property of the Luoyang Palace before and after Yongjia of the Chinese Dynasty, although it was Liu Yao of the Han Zhao Dynasty who broke through Luoyang, but since the Shi family was once a courtier of the Han and Zhao Dynasty, then look through these books to help the Jin Kingdom search for the lost property and send it back, and then talk about whether to return the lost property of the Kingdom of China.
I can't talk about it, I really can't talk about it!
Ma Qiu has already understood that this so-called peace talk is just a way for the Jin State to humiliate the Jin State. If we continue to talk, we will only shake out more laughing stocks.
Because he simply suspended the negotiations, personally repaired the book and sent it back to China, and told the lord to request that troops be sent to meet the retreat of the Yedi army, and not to continue to humiliate himself.
But there are some things that there is no turning back from the bow, especially such a big event. At this time, it was already the Lu season, and now the state of Xiang has begun to move the capital, and a large number of people around the country have been forcibly moved to Xindu. Shi Hu just needs to use the matter of peace talks to convey the illusion of a north-south stop to stabilize people's hearts, and it is simply a joke to stop peace talks and send troops to respond at this time!
So the country's response to Ma Qiu was a horse whip, Shi Hu sent Yan Zhen, a regular attendant in the middle, to join the army in person, and whipped Ma Qiu with this horse whip: You are the one who proposed peace talks, and you are the one who stopped peace talks, even if Lao Tzu is not enough fresh mutton!
If you can't stop, then keep talking. Fortunately, Shi Hu sent others to the south to take charge of the peace talks, as long as Ma Qiu focused on military affairs, and appointed his son Shi Kun, who had been returned by the Jin army, as the general of Zhennan and the governor of Nandu, and became Ma Qiu's direct superior.
The newcomer obviously understood the Lord's intentions better, and understood that Shi Hu did not really need to talk about any results, but just to convey a signal that the north and the south had stopped fighting, and the Jin army had no intention of going north in a big way to clean up the situation in the hearts of the people. Therefore, naturally the lion opened his mouth, no longer talking about those lost items, prisoners and hostages, and other subsections, and directly ordered the Jin army to return the southern counties and counties, and the northern Jin army to retreat, so that the situation could return to the situation at the beginning of the year.
You don't have to think about what the result will be. The response from the Taiwan came to the New Year after the New Year, and this time the humiliation of the country was even worse.
This time, the response was the official order of the General's Palace: before July, the state of Qian must be honored by itself, abolish all tyranny retrograde, and the state of Jin should be the secretary of civil and military affairs, and all of them should be bound to the crime, and the state and county governments of Youji and other prefectures and counties will seal the treasury and wait for the king to enter the north to receive it. The old ceremonial system of the state of Qiang is all abolished, and the old sweeping general and the marquis of Zhongming Pavilion are retained, and the land of a pavilion in Wuxiang County, Shangdang County is analyzed as the food of the Marquis of Ting, and the sages of Shile are selected to attack the lord and guard the city, and the tomb is repaired, and the rest of the clans, including the lord Shihu, are all imprisoned and punished!
From the general's point of view, this ultimatum is still merciful, at least it also recognizes the official title of Chinese and Korean officials that Shi Le received when he was subordinate to Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, in his crusade against Sima Yue.
But in the eyes of the country, this is a great humiliation, the tiger peeps at the male lord of the world, and uses a mere pavilion to send away, and what is even more hateful is that Shi Le's son has already been killed by Shi Hu cleanly, and the lip service is not profitable, and even this small pavilion and marquis food is not inherited!
The final postscript of the special decree: On the day of the order, if you dare to overdue, the king will cross the river with millions of heroes, and all those who violate the order, rebel ★ against the evil, and attach thieves will be killed; In other words, in July at the latest, Wang Shi will launch this war of going abroad against the kingdom of Qian!
Not to mention what kind of shock this ultimatum caused in the country after it was transmitted to Hebei. But even without this notice, in fact, the peace talks could not go on, because Shi Hu had previously intended to be the messenger of Liu Qun to deliver the letter of state, and he was reversed in Liaoxi on the occasion of the New Year!
