Chapter 179: My Zhao Ji's heart aches incomparably

"What?! Zong Han and Zong Lie were captured by the Song army?! When Wanyan Aguda heard the news, his blood pressure was full: "What you said is true?" ”

How did these two rabbit cubs get captured by the Song army? No, the second rabbit cub didn't even bring him out himself, how did he get captured?

"The villain dares to swear by his life!" The cavalry who came back to report the news wept and told the story of the two going to Huanzhou to summon them.

Wanyan and Ah Gu beat people and were about to faint, and sure enough, these two rabbit cubs stole their jade seals and forged documents and ran to Huanzhou to raise troops and march eastward.

If Zong Han and Zong Lie were now in front of him, he would be eager to hack them to death with one sword.

But now, these two brothers have fallen into the hands of the Song people, and things have become difficult.

Sakai is an infatuated person, and he has not looked at other women since he married his sister-in-law. After his sister-in-law died of illness a few years ago, he also vowed not to marry again.

These two children are the only two of his blood.

From the rules set by his grandfather's generation, the impeachment bowl is followed by the Lord, and the impeacher is after the Lord. Sagai is the one who helps him to regulate all kinds of affairs and make himself feel at ease to fight, if he ignores his two children, wouldn't it chill his heart?

Thinking of this, Wan Yan's head hurt badly. To be honest, he didn't care whether the two children of Zong Han Zonglie were dead or alive, he only cared about how many of the 50,000 soldiers who were taken away had escaped back.

I told him a long time ago that Tang Ning would always surprise people, but he didn't believe it, and thought he was harming him.

Wan Yan Sagai hurriedly walked in from outside the tent, and it seemed that he also ran over from Yingzhou after learning the news.

"Ah Guta, I didn't discipline those two puppies strictly, and I caused such a big disaster. You must punish me as an example. The first sentence of Wanyan Sagai coming in from the outside made Wanyan Agu's head hurt again.

"Don't mess with me, think about what to do. Punishing you is not punishing you now, the three children of Zong Wang, Zong Han, and Zong Lie were all caught by the Song people.

Now because of what Zong Han did, the morale of the Song army has been greatly boosted, although we have blocked the news here, how can there be an impermeable wall in the world?

The soldiers themselves are the end of the crossbow, if this news is known to them, won't they become demoralized? Where is the chance for us to win? ”

Wan Yan Sakai frowned and thought about it, and said, "In this case, I have a way, I don't know if you want to listen to it." ”

"What's the solution?"

"Peace!"

“……”

…………………………

At the same time in Tokyo, Cai Jing and Zhao Ji were discussing a topic in the dark.

They had just finished meeting Yan Zongwang when an idea popped into their minds.

"Downing's momentum doesn't seem to be weak, and Xinzhou has been broken by him. If it goes on like this, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun can really ask him to recover. Zhao Ji said with a sad face.

Cai Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom still has 300,000 troops on Yunzhong Fu Road, and Yunzhou has not yet been captured, how can he recover Yanyun's words?"

However, if the surnamed Tang can really maintain this momentum, it is not impossible to break Yan Agu's fight. After all, Wanyan Agu's subordinates were already a tired army, and they had been fighting continuously for two years, all hanging in one breath.

If the surnamed Tang can crush their morale, the army that has been beaten by Yan Agu will be self-defeating. ”

"If we really ask Tang Ning to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, wouldn't we want to crown him as king according to Emperor Shenzong's will?" Zhao Ji said worriedly: "This bastard himself looks down on me, and if he is crowned a king, I will be as uncomfortable as eating a fly!" ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The evidence of his incrimination is in our hands. If you make him king, you will make him king. As soon as we publish the evidence of his crimes, don't the people of this world have to scold him and have nowhere to go?

At that time, isn't it up to you to decide whether this king of his will take or stay?

Besides, doesn't the person surnamed Tang value his family? He was pointed at by a thousand people, and his family was not spared! His reputation stinks, and his family will be scolded with it!

He has made brilliant achievements in all these years, and the first emperor secretly left Danshu iron coupons to protect his life. We can't kill him and let him fall under the law, but it doesn't mean that we will tolerate his heinous crimes! Cai Jing said righteously.

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "It's indeed a good way!" You have to be prepared, this time we must let this bastard not be able to eat, go around!

Hmph, you look down on me! ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Wechen has already prepared his ten deadly sins, and when the time is ripe, Wechen will immediately announce them to the world. ”

"Cai Qing, it's really my luck to have you to assist me!"

"Why doesn't Weichen think so? Being able to assist a Ming Jun like you is also a blessing that Wechen's eight lifetimes of cultivation have come from! ”

…………………………

The war in the sixteen states of Yanyun suddenly changed, and the Jin army, which was originally in full swing, suddenly began to retreat and withdrew to Yunzhou.

Guo Cheng and Tang Ning, who were supposed to take the opportunity to march, joined forces when they received a letter from the envoy of the Jin State, saying that they wanted to negotiate peace.

At this time, it should not be underestimated, Guo Cheng looked dazed. Tang Ning was originally going to defeat Wanyan Agu hard, and then directly take Yunzhou, complete the agreement with Zhao Xu, and relieve his demons, but he didn't expect that Jin Ren would deal with it so quickly.

There was no way, he had no choice but to make public the fact that he had captured Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zonglie, and everyone had smart brains, and they suddenly thought that Tang Ning would not make this matter public as soon as possible, and he must have some kind of calculation.

However, this incident still boosted the morale of the Song army, and Guo Cheng sent the Hongling knight to hurry up to report the ins and outs to Kaifeng Mansion.

Ten days later, the reply from Kaifeng Mansion arrived, and Tang Ning was put in charge of peace negotiations.

Of course, Liu Ling also came. He brought Wanyan Zongwang and Zhao Ji's conditions over.

said that it was full power, after all, Tang Ning could not be completely in charge. Some things are acceptable, some are not. I'm afraid it's not clear that Tang Ning is not in the court, Liu Ling is here to tell Tang Ning the bottom line.

"Congratulations to Danyang Hou, congratulations to Danyang Hou!" Guo Cheng said enviously: "Your Majesty has given you full power, this is a vast grace, and it all falls on you alone."

On behalf of our Great Song Kingdom, accept the request of the Jin Kingdom and negotiate with the Jin people, this is a great honor, Your Majesty has given you a person, it can be said that you are quite favored! ”

Tang Ning smiled and did not speak. The smell of conspiracy is too strong, and he can't open his eyes from being smoked.

Zhao Ji has always felt that he looks down on him, and although this is true, he will not be able to please himself.

He is a literary and artistic young man who thinks of himself as high, who looks down on him, he will not work hard to change the impression of others, he will definitely find an opportunity to spit in the face of those who look down on him.

So although I don't know how the conspiracy works, Tang Ning is still willing to walk into this trap.

There is only one step left from his own liberation, even if it is half a step away from the abyss, he will step out without hesitation.

However, the other party's movements were so obvious, if he didn't make some preparations, it would be too much, thinking of this, he called Wu Tong and whispered a few words in his ear.

After that, the army never saw this person again.

………………………………

Six days later, because Zhao Ji did not come in person, there was no need for Wanyan Aguda to go out in person. On behalf of the Jin State, Wanyan Sagai met with Tang Ning on the banks of the Sanggan River.

The two sides looked at each other across the river, and each brought a lot of heavily armed armor soldiers behind them.

The flags fluttered, and when the two sides confronted each other, there was quite a tragic taste of a battle against the water.

The sappers began to build the bridge, and spent the morning blowing the wind and waiting for the bridge to be finished, Tang Ning and Wan Yan Sagai were very forced to set up a table in the middle of the bridge, and one of them took a cushion and sat on the ground, and then began to greet each other.

"I have admired the name of the golden phase for a long time, and it is like thunder. When I saw it today, Jin Xiang really had a look of wisdom in the world. Tang Ning arched his hand towards Wan Yan Sa and said with a smile.

"It's very inappropriate to judge people by their appearance, this is what you Han people say." Wan Yan Sakai also smiled lightly, his appearance is indeed very elegant, a nomad can look like this, from a certain point of view, it is also providential.

"But since Danyang Hou is praising his true appearance, if his true appearance is to resign, isn't it rude? In this way, the original appearance was praised by the Marquis of Danyang. ”

Tang Ning said in surprise: "Your Chinese language is good!" ”

"I have liked the culture of your Han people since I was a child, and I have read the four books and five classics of your Han people. I have to say that there is a reason why you Han people can continue to inherit this world for thousands of years. Wanyan Sagai said with great emotion.

"Like us, a group called nomads by your Han people, as long as they enter your Han territory, in the end, no one will remember where we came from.

Danyang Hou, I don't know if this is the use of softness to overcome rigidity in your Han population? It's a bit desperate.

After so many years of hard work, everything has come to naught. It doesn't matter where you come from, in the end, you all become Han. ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "Jin Xiang's words are wrong, we Han people are not to overcome rigidity with softness, nor do we want to erase the existence of other ethnic groups, but because of the natural laws of this world."

With the origin of metallographic, you should understand a truth. Natural selection, survival of the fittest. It is an eternal truth that the law of the jungle eats the strong. ”

"Good natural selection, survival of the fittest." Wan Yan Sagai laughed: "But the weak eat the strong, isn't it said that which side has a hard fist, which side can survive?"

If that's the case, it's obviously our fists that are harder. ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "No, no." If so, what is the use of books in this world? What do you want to do with readers? Do we all go to exercise and live on our muscles like wild beasts? ”

Tang Ning pointed to his head: "No matter how strong the flesh is, it is only a hundred years." But a person's spirit and mind are eternal.

Because we think, we have all sorts of questions. Our ancestors helped us solve some of our problems, and their thoughts and answers have been handed down.

As long as you are eager for knowledge, as long as you want to know the truth of this world, you have to learn the Han culture, and learn the eternal truth that my Han ancestors summed up in their short lives.

Your knives kill blood. Our knives kill invisible.

Jin Xiang, everyone has led troops to fight. For yourself, is the knife that kills blood more powerful, or the invisible knife that kills people is better? ”

Wanyan Sakai thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, it's the same thing that I lost." ”

"Not really." Tang Ning smiled: "Actually, we Han people are weak, if it weren't for our inheritance, I'm afraid we would also die in this world."

I've always had the idea that if we could combine your body with our mind, wouldn't we be invincible in the world? ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Wanyan Sagai sighed from the bottom of his heart this time: "If I could meet you Danyang Hou ten years earlier, it would be good!" ”

"It's not too late." Tang Ning said with a smile.

Wan Yan Sagai nodded, and began to get to the point: "Yes, if you and I can keep peace, it is not impossible for us to move around each other more." ”

"The words of the golden phase are exactly what I want, but the blood of our soldiers cannot be shed in vain, I think your army should think the same way, right?

Metallographic, there's one more thing you may not know. In the hands of Ben Hou, there were three people. One of them is Wanyan Zongwang, the second son of the current emperor of your country, and the other two are your sons.

The battlefield is ruthless, people are affectionate, Ben Hou has always hoped to be able to live in peace with your country, Ben Hou is willing to return these three people to your country free of charge, as a sign of friendship! ”

With that, Tang Ning clapped his hands.

"Bring three of them!"

Zhang San was wearing a bright light armor, which was a reward for his promotion after meritorious service.

He was very excited, and everyone here knew what it was like to be able to show his face on such a scene. Because two of the three brothers were caught by him alone, Tang Ning allowed him to bring the three of them up.

"Father!"

It's embarrassing to say, in the Song army for more than half a month, the Song army has always entertained them with good food and drink. Including Yan Zongwang, he went to Kaifeng Mansion, and he didn't do anything else, but he ate all the snacks in Tokyo City, and he was still a guest invited by Cai Jing.

Wanyan Zonglie not only did not lose weight in the past two days, but gained weight several times. When Wanyan Sakai saw him, he was so angry in his heart.

Why is it so spineless! Those who are hungry for one or two meals are hungry and don't die, they are all fat, what face do they have to go back to see Your Majesty?!

Seeing Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Zonglie burst into tears and couldn't help but cry out.

There was no rope to tie his hands and legs, so he ran to Wan Yan Sagai as if he was shopping in his back garden.

Subsequently, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan also walked out slowly with their heads down, and it could be seen that these two people had no face.

Wanyan Sagai picked up a big mouth, and even threw Wanyan Zonglie to the ground.

"If you don't make it, I'll teach you a lesson when I go home!" With that, he waved his hand and dragged the three of them off the bridge.

"Let Danyang Hou see it."

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Ben Hou also has a naughty little son in the family, and sometimes Ben Hou also wants to be like you just now, slap a few heels to relieve his anger."

“……”

"Hehe, let's get down to business. In addition to the three sons, there are a total of 126,354 captives from your army in the Great Song Kingdom. But after all, our Great Song Kingdom is not charitable, and everything needs a cost.

So...... Alas, I don't bother to go around the bush with you, so I'll just make it clear. ”

Wanyan Sagai himself was trembling with anger, and suddenly heard Tang Ning's last sentence, and couldn't help laughing.

It's like when cooking, only Seiko slow tuning has that taste, this person pours the ingredients and condiments into the pot at once, and the dishes that come out of this way don't have that taste.

However, this was also quite novel for Wanyan Sagai, so he held back a smile and nodded to show that he was listening carefully.

"We are ready to exchange the prisoners for Yunzhou, because the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun themselves are the territory of our Han family. It has been more than 100 years since Emperor Shi Jingjiao ceded Yanyun, and it is a bit unreasonable not to let this child go home.

Besides, in the entire sixteen states of Yanyun, there is only one Yunzhou left, and we haven't beaten it down, and we haven't fought it. The remaining fifteen state capitals have already been taken into our pockets, and it is useless for your country to grasp them, right?

So, let's give each other face. I will send the captives to your country, and your country will let Yunzhou out, and our world will be peaceful, and both sides will benefit, so why not do it? ”

"No, Yunzhou was also taken down by us with great difficulty, how can it be handed over to you so easily?"

"Okay, if you don't agree, then continue to fight. But I think your army has been fighting for many years, and the whole army is already exhausted, right? And how much money is in your country's treasury to continue to support your country's fighting?

Do the people in the country still want to live?

Your Majesty the Great Song Kingdom understands the situation of your country, and is willing to provide your country with a total of 200,000 taels of silk and silver every year for a period of three years. ”

Wan Yan Sagai's eyes lit up: "Deal!" ”

“……”

……………………………………

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been recovered! The sixteen states of Yanyun ceded by Emperor Shi Jingjiao have finally returned to the hands of the Great Song Kingdom! Now in Kaifeng Mansion, the people, officials, and soldiers of Hebei can sleep well!

At this time when the whole country was celebrating, the imperial court suddenly posted lists everywhere in Kaifeng Mansion on this day. There were also knights with a box of lists to other state capitals to post them.

The good deeds stepped forward to take a look, only to see a few big words on it.

"The Ten Deadly Sins of Hou Tangning, the Founding County of the Great Song Kingdom."

"First, colluding with bandits and causing trouble in the army.

Second, to fund the enemy's weapons and fight back against the Holy Country.

Third, it financed the rebel party with the intention of rebellion.

Fourth, give and receive from each other privately, and deceive the superiors and subordinates.

The fifth ......"

No one watched it in the future, not because they weren't interested, but because they didn't dare to watch it anymore.

Obediently, the first four are so exciting, and each one is a felony of killing the head when it comes out, who dares to look at it.

Everyone talked about it, and a guy with a big nose and small eyes and lips sneered: "I already knew that he was not a good thing, you see that when he was in Tokyo City, he was either going to the Qinglou or on the way to the Qinglou."

He looks treacherous again, and he is not as handsome as me. I already thought he was a traitor!

Ah...... Don't slap me in the face, I still have to rely on this to eat! ”

Anyway, there are different opinions, but the people who stand on Danyang Hou is not guilty, and he was framed by the political enemies of the DPRK and China, and the people here are still the majority.

The news slowly spread to all parts of the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone seemed to no longer pay attention to whether Tang Ning had recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and what they were more interested in was whether Tang Ning had done these things.

What is the difference between the sixteen states of Yanyun and those who do not? After so many years, isn't it good? If you care about that, it's better to care about the gossip of Danyang Hou.

Rumors spread, and many people and people who wanted to see the excitement came to Tokyo City. They are looking forward to the day when Tang Ning's class teacher returns to the court, and they are looking forward to Tang Ning's face in front of them, will he clarify himself, or will he confess his guilt and surrender to the law?

They also looked forward to the reaction of the imperial court, and Emperor Shenzong made a will saying that whoever recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun would be crowned king.

What if it's Downing? What if it was Downing, who was guilty of the Ten Deadly Sins? Will the court keep its promise?

All this will be revealed on the day Tang Ning returns to Beijing.

This is a rare event in a century, and for those people who like to eat melons, it is simply a carnival.

But all these expectations completely turned into a bubble after a month.

On the way back to Beijing, Tang Ning was attacked by a group of Western Xia horse thieves, and a stray arrow hit him in the chest, and he died.

What do you mean? Wait so long for this to come out?

The people were boiling.

"Suicide in fear of sin! This is suicide in fear of sin! ”

"That's right! How could he be killed by a horse thief? This must be suicide in fear of sin, he doesn't dare to come back and face us! ”

In this way, it has become a general consensus to circulate in the north and south of the river, and under the deliberate propaganda of the government.

Under the influence of various factors, the momentum of the government, the processing of the storyteller, and various factors, this sentence seems to have become the truth of the incident and is remembered by the people.

However, the court is still very face-saving, and if a person dies, it will no longer be investigated.

Zhao Ji suddenly felt embarrassed at a certain court meeting, and he was in pain. When the ministers asked why, Zhao Ji said: "The Marquis of Danyang has fought for the country for decades, and his military achievements are all immortal.

Although there are rumors about him, I don't believe it. I don't believe that this general who has been loyal to my Great Song Kingdom for half his life is such a person!

Poor Danyang Hou actually died at the hands of a horse thief, it's really ...... It's really ......" Speaking of this, Zhao Ji was speechless.

Seeing this, the ministers offered words of consolation.

Zhao Ji said again: "If you don't do anything to compensate Danyang Hou, I feel uncomfortable!" I can't even sleep!

Danyang Hou, why did you leave like this! You left behind a family of women and children, how can you let them live! ”

Cai Jing said: "Since this is the case, then let's follow Emperor Shenzong's will and make the Marquis of Danyang!" This can be regarded as compensation for his family, and he can close his eyes with peace of mind under Jiuquan! ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Okay!" Do as you say! ”
