The peace was completed, and Su Jin set up a grand banquet to entertain Zhang Yuan and others that night, Zhang Yuan also put a heart in his stomach, and the two sides smiled and had a happy atmosphere.

If it weren't for the fact that at the end of the banquet, Zhang Yuan took advantage of the wine to learn the truth while chatting with the two Song generals sitting beside him, this would have been a very beautiful night.

"Lord Zhang, you Xia people are really able to bend and stretch, fight when you say you fight, and make peace when you say you, admire and admire." A black-faced general praised with a big tongue and a big finger.

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "That's natural, if you divide for a long time, you must be together for a long time, you must fight when you should fight, and you must make peace when you should be together." ”

"Li Yuanhao really has a kind, and he actually agreed to be a minister to my Great Song Dynasty so easily, which is really incomprehensible." A red-faced general chimed in.

Zhang Yuan said proudly with the strength of the wine: "Teach a few generals to run for nothing, don't think I don't know your ghost idea, you are ready to attack my Great Xia, right?" Then you don't have a chance to make a move, hahaha, haha. ”

"Attack the Xia Kingdom?" The black-faced general was surprised: "When was the order given?" As the commander of the Jingzhou Metropolitan Deployment, how could I not know such an order?

"I don't know, I'm also a captain, why don't I know anything about this?" The red-faced general said.

Zhang Yuansun said: "Don't pretend, do you think I don't know that you were ordered to assemble Weizhou City in order to concentrate your forces to attack Huizhou?" Truckloads of grain, bands of soldiers driving into the city, when I am blind? And the 80,000 troops on the two roads of Yanyan and Huanqing have been pulled out and the target is directed at Youzhou, which I know clearly, and also, you were originally going to start at the beginning of tonight, and now the peace is completed, so you can only drink here, hahahaha. ”

The black-faced general and the red-faced general looked confused, looking at Zhang Yuan as if they were looking at a fool: "Where did you hear these nonsense?" We came from the states just to receive the military pay and grain for a few months after the year before the year, this year's food and salary court was all sent to Weizhou, we came from the cities to bring the grain and grass to escort back, of course we have to bring more soldiers and horses, and this time we received a huge amount of grain and grass in a season, but we can't be sloppy, how can we have the plan to assemble to attack Huizhou? ”

"What? Didn't you come to assemble and attack Huizhou? Zhang Yuan was a little confused.

"I see you're crazy, since yesterday, the soldiers and horses who escorted the food have been on the return journey one after another, a few of us are Lord Su who stayed and said that there is a banquet tonight, and we want to participate in the banquet before leaving, you think too much." The red-faced general scoffed.

"That'...... Fan Zhongyan led an army of 80,000 ......"

"Cut...... Master Fan is still in the capital, he is now promoted to the deputy envoy of the privy council, and he will only return to Huanqing Yanyan to sit in the town after the year, how can he lead the troops to the battle? What nonsense are you talking about? The two Song generals felt that this Zhang Yuan must be an idiot, imagining these shadowless things out of thin air, and they all turned their heads to talk to others, and they didn't like to talk to him.

Zhang Yuan was cold from head to foot, and gradually understood in his heart: My God, I fell for this kid, everything is in Su Jin's design, the assembly of soldiers is fake, the convoy of armor and equipment is fake, and the news I heard in the middle of the night is even more fake, and I thought I had insight into the tricks of the Song people, but I didn't expect to be completely deceived and dizzy.

Why do you not use your brain so much? The Song army was also greatly injured, how could it be capable of attacking Great Xia at this time? If it is really capable, why is there only tens of thousands of people defending the city in the battle of Weizhou? Fan Zhongyan, who was restrained by tens of thousands of people in the Jianing army, could not come to help, which shows that the Song army was fundamentally jealous of Great Xia and was unable to confront it head-on; This time the weather is cold and freezing, most of the Song people are afraid of cold, and there are no war horses to ride, how can they travel a long distance to attack Daxia in the wind and snow? Isn't that self-defeating? Why didn't these own minds think of it in advance?

Zhang Yuan's resentful eyes passed through the crowd, and found Su Jin, who was drinking with a group of generals, this kid couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and those people pointed at him when he was talking and laughing, no need to ask if he was laughing at his stupidity, Zhang Yuan couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down, and he was embarrassed.

Losing face is not the main thing, Zhang Yuan instantly thought of his own initiative and agreed to Song Guo's many rude requests, if Li Yuanhao learned about this matter, his family is afraid that it will be difficult to escape Ling Chi, no, this matter must not be singled out, even if he suffers a dumb loss, he can only take the empty thing as true, and when he returns to the gift, he must also take this matter as a real return, face is naturally needed, and his head cannot be lost.

Zhang Yuan made up his mind, a smile appeared on his face, although he was as disgusting as if he had swallowed a dozen green-headed flies, he could only forcibly swallow what he was about to vomit about, pretending to be willing.

……

The news of the peace conference between the two countries spread all over the world a few days later, and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were naturally extremely satisfied with the content of the peace agreement, although Li Yuanhao's side was like thunder, but Zhang Yuanhao was like a spring and added fuel to the story of what he saw in Weizhou, Li Yuanhao is a person who knows how to choose, and in the trade-off between the loss of the country and the loss of face, he will naturally know which one to choose; After calming down, he comforted Zhang Yuan and gave him praise.

Of course, for Li Yuanhao, he can't really serve like a courtier for the Song State, he decided to block the content of the peace talks, and the envoys of the Song State will all be arranged in Youzhou after the Song State comes, and he is unwilling to shout long live in front of the ministers of Xingqing Mansion to receive the holy decree of the Song Emperor, and the gold and silver given by Zhao Zhen to the Lord of the Song State were thrown into the well by him on the day of delivery.

Su Jin's reputation in the Great Song Dynasty is growing, this person is really not a gentleman, it is not a boast to say that he is all-round in civil and military affairs, the matter in the northwest is a big matter in the Great Song Dynasty, this person went to the northwest for a few months, and it ended so perfectly, and no one had such good luck, that is, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan, two recognized virtuous ministers, who have been working hard in the northwest for several years, and have experienced several defeats, but they still rely on Su Jin to end the uncertain situation.

At the beginning, Zhao Zhen gave Su Jin an evaluation: champion talent, heroic courage, a thick face of the city wall, many people did not understand the meaning at that time, now it seems that the emperor's eyes are like a torch, know people and make good use of them, Su Jin's success invisibly also made the ministers have a sense of awe for Zhao Zhen, the emperor is not in vain, although it looks easy-going, the stomach can be like a mirror.

……

The sun was shining for several days, the snow was melting, and the weather was warmer; Su Jin took advantage of the good weather, organized hundreds of strong men to go to the south of Liangzhou to build a large number of horses to rest post station, more than 20 days, three fifty miles of post stations extended from south to north, but there seemed to be no movement on the Yeli tribe, Su Jin decided to go to the Yeli tribe in person after the year, the spring famine after the year was the time when Xixia was in urgent need of food, and that was the time for the first batch of war horses to exchange food, and what Su Jin had to do was to quickly mobilize grain hoarding from the south before that, To this end, Su Jin has mobilized more than three million yuan of money and silver for backup.

Before leaving Beijing, Su Jinming Huitong Bank's big shopkeeper Qian Henian took out three million coins for reserve, Su Ji Huitong Bank's first investment was in this business, Huitong Money Village has been relying on the exchange of water to maintain balance, almost no balance profit, do not make a big investment Those money in the money is dead money, and this time is the best investment opportunity.

Three million dollars were brought to the southern state capitals by Qian Henian to begin large-scale purchase of grain, this year's grain harvest, after the official warehouse was full, the private stock was still abundant, after the price higher than the market price of ten wen and one stone, after a large sweep, three million yuan of money turned into nearly five million stone grain, and after the year after the year, these grains will be transported to the northwest one after another.

Su Jin was busy with his feet not touching the ground, the defense of the entire Qinfeng Road and Jingyuan Road had to be re-planned, more than a dozen walled cities had to be built in key places, and the livelihood relief of the people might have to be properly arranged, and in private matters, Su Jin was exhausted by establishing a channel for smuggling horses, choosing a site to build a horse farm, and how the horses were transported into the army in a hidden way.

And at this juncture, Yan Biyun, who was in Qinzhou, delivered the news of the production to Weizhou, and Su Jin, who got the news, hurriedly dropped everything at hand and rushed back to Qinzhou in the starry night.
