"Lieutenant Envoy Huang, do you know why I humiliated these envoys so much?" Wang Ju turned to Xiao Huang's father-in-law and asked.

Xiao Huang's father-in-law said that he was speechless, and he was standing on the side.

"The reason is simple, with the national strength of Western Xia, 300,000 laborers were dispatched, and almost the country's military and financial resources came. But now the defeat is blowing, and the whole country is facing a rare crisis. Therefore, they are anxious to ask for peace with our court, as long as we agree to negotiate peace, the people's hearts will be stable immediately, otherwise there will be a big chaos in Western Xia. ”

Wei Ming Kerong really wants to say something, then let's walk and see.

But that is probably the most in line with this little Zhizhou's wishes, now is not the time to be angry, besides, is Wang Ju wrong? So he sat down with anger and didn't hear it, and glanced at Lu Ning to restrain him.

"Why did there be this crisis in Western Xia, why did the Western Xia people suddenly change their attitude and be low, this is not bought, but beaten."

"Medium." Xiao Huang's father-in-law agreed.

Jiao Wengui sneered: "I don't know if the Son of Heaven of your country agrees with Your Excellency's middle policy?" ”

"I'm going to get to that in a moment, but before I can do that, I have one more thing to say. You must think in your hearts that I have humiliated you and neglected you, but I will ask you again, you Xixia envoys came to our court, and the officials treated them carefully all the way, and sent escorts to accompany you all the way to the capital, and then let you enter the palace and meet me as the Son of Heaven. But our Great Song Dynasty, as the kingdom of Shang, has the envoy come to your Western Xia, have you ever been to Xingqing Mansion? Not only that, just like Yang Ding, who was booby-trapped by you, to envoy your Western Xia, how many envoys were coaxed and intimidated by your Western Xia people in Youzhou, your Western Xia? ”

"I don't understand, it's true that your Western Xia is even more powerful than the Liao Kingdom. And noble? Even if it's Liao. Our Song envoy went. You can also meet the emperor of Liao, if the lord of Liao makes a bowl near Zhongjing, he will receive our Great Song envoys in Zhongjing, and in Changchun, he will receive our Great Song envoys in Changchun...... It's not right, the envoy of the Liao State went to your Western Xia, and he was received in Xingqing Mansion, why is it our turn to be in the Song Dynasty. Send so many silver tea leaves every year, and the finest exquisite silk silk to you in Western Xia, but only in Youzhou, is our Great Song Dynasty really weak to such a point? ”

Jiao Wengui was speechless.

In fact, the descendants can overturn the case for the Liao State, anyway, although the Liao State took the opportunity to blackmail the Song Dynasty twice, but in general, it still abided by the peace alliance, and at the same time treated the Han people, which was not as brutal as Jin Dashen wrote. In fact, the Han and Xi people in Liao are second-class citizens, and their status is far above that of the Jurchens and Tatars.

Although there is still a phenomenon of grass valley on the border of Hebei after the alliance of the Yuanyuan. The scale is not large, and it is not an official organization of the Liao State, who made the Song Dynasty rich, and the officials and officers and soldiers were not angry.

But those who overturned the case for Xixia are all stupid!

However, Wang Ju's words were not just for the three messengers.

"Got it." Wang Ju asked again: "This is called repaying virtue with virtue and repaying grievances with straightforwardness, I am very polite to you." ”

"What does it mean to be straight?" Father-in-law Xiao Huang asked.

"If the enemy resents him, they are right, he must work hard to correct it, if the enemy is purely malicious, then he must repay virtue with virtue, and return the tooth with a tooth!"

"I see, no wonder I couldn't read this sentence when I read it."

"It doesn't matter, the master still focuses on benevolence and righteousness, so he replaces the words "repaying grievances with virtue" and "repaying with a tooth for a tooth" with a direct report. Just like when I came to Yanzhou this time, it was replaced by the Western Xia to enter the town of my dynasty, and the burning, killing, and plundering would come together, otherwise how could thousands of miles of Weiyuan become a land of dead silence? But I repeatedly ordered the officers and men not to disturb the people. ”

"Ming Gong is really benevolent."

Kindheartedness? The three summer envoys all had goosebumps on their bodies.

Wang Ju turned around and spoke to the three of them: "Jiao Wengui, you are right, the official family did not agree with my upper and middle policies, but only agreed with my lower policy, which is to occupy a section of Hengshan." If it weren't for the production of this section of Yokoyama, this production would not matter to our dynasty at all. Therefore, the intention of the occupation is that if you take advantage of the terrain of Hengshan to plunder the people of our dynasty in the future, our dynasty can also use the advantages of this period of Hengshan to plunder your Western Xia. In this way, we can forcibly force you to make peace with me, and the border is peaceful. ”

This section of Yokoyama, the three envoys all know, it is undoubtedly lost.

Of course, everyone feels pity and knows its importance, but it cannot be recaptured unless there is a great change in the Song Dynasty.

"But I don't like this strategy, so I'm going to do it. However, I also expected that the official family would finally choose it because of the arguments of some scholars. Therefore, I made several plans, one is to quickly mine the green salt in Yanzhou, and then sell it to the merchants. If His Majesty agrees to the above policy, the proceeds from the sale of salt will be turned into rewards, which will stimulate the officers and soldiers of the three armies to quickly send troops to Lingzhou and your Xingqing Mansion. If His Majesty agrees to the middle policy, because the green salt will be opened widely, not only will the government profit, and the soldiers of the three armies will be rewarded with it, but the people of Huanqing will also benefit and make up for the losses caused by your invasion over the years. At the same time, the people of Yanzhou will also make a profit temporarily, and the people's will will turn against us. With the hearts of the people, it can be ruled here. If His Majesty only agrees to make a decision, and also rewards the officers and soldiers of the three armies, the next time he starts a war with your Western Xia, the three armies will be full of confidence, and then he will be able to achieve a greater victory. ”

In fact, destroy Xia and destroy the head, occupy Yanzhou and occupy a ghost!

This is what Wang Ju said on purpose, not only to the three envoys of Western Xia, but also to some ministers in the country, such a good opportunity, let you miss it.

For the time being, there is no trouble, and after a long time, they will inevitably buckle each other's urinals, Wang Ju is preparing for urine......

"But I don't care, you can send my court, with the virtue of some ministers of my court, under their instigation, you will be able to successfully achieve your wish, but I have also achieved my wish, although your Western Xia will quickly enter stability, but your position as the Empress Dowager Liang is also stable. Under her leadership, sooner or later, your Western Xia will perish. So I waited for the edict from the imperial court, and as soon as the edict came, I would let you go to the capital. ”

The three envoys had mixed feelings in their hearts, thinking, our Queen Mother is not what you think.

But it doesn't matter if the Liang family is what Wang Ju said. Their first task was to find a way to get to Kaifeng City in the Song Dynasty. Take the letter of the Song Dynasty to negotiate peace. Otherwise, there will really be turmoil in Western Xia.

Therefore, the three of them listened angrily, and all of them were silent.

Liu Changzuo listened to Wang Juhu's nonsense, and felt a little funny in his heart.

In fact, Liu Changzuo is very clear because he has participated in the discussion from the beginning.

Still Wang Ju and Zhang Ji's thoughts, from the beginning, decided that this battle would be a shallow attack after the battle.

What is a shallow attack is to immediately occupy this section of Hengshan after defeating the Western Xia army.

This is not to prevent the summer from being destroyed, but that the time is not ripe to destroy the summer. First of all, the officers and men of the three armed forces lack actual combat training. At this time, it was a little better, especially during the Qingli period, why did Li Yuanhao succeed quickly? There are many reasons, one is that I can't imagine that Li Yuanhao will strike first, the second is that I can't imagine Li Yuanhao's strength, the third is that the northwest was not prepared at all, and there was not even a decent fort, and even if there were, it was almost abandoned, and fourth, economic difficulties. First there was a great drought, and then the Yellow River burst its banks. The treasury was empty, so after the Qingli years of fighting, coupled with the arrival of drought, peasant uprisings occurred in some areas.

There is another reason, that is, Chengping has been peaceful for decades, and the officers and men of the three armed forces are not accustomed to actual combat.

The failure of the Liao State, in addition to the command error of Liao Xingzong, also had this reason.

Playing a dozen in Gyeongju has a home advantage and a terrain advantage. However, after Gyeongju, it was mostly flat land, and the terrain was in turn favorable to the enemy, and if you blindly wanted to attack further, if you didn't get it right, it would cause the fate of a crushing defeat at the Goliang River.

But I didn't expect it to be misinterpreted like this by Wang Ju.

But Liu Changzuo also didn't expect that Wang Ju's play this time was very meaningful.

Wang Ju continued: "But for you Western Xia, there are also two opportunities this time. The first opportunity, if you go to the capital, recognize the right person, have a better attitude, and speak appropriately, maybe there will be some important ministers who will take the initiative to speak for you, let me hand over the occupied Hengshan, and even return it to Suizhou. ”

"It's unlikely." Xiao Huang's father-in-law said in disbelief.

"It's possible."

"Our family knows that when the war starts, the people will be very bitter."

"There may be a few ministers who really think so, but I will only say one thing, how many poor and lonely people in my dynasty, the whole country is so big, that year will encounter disasters big and small, these scholars and doctors who are all talking about the living people, how many of them have property in their hands that belong to the extreme poverty? And how many people have immeasurable wealth in their homes? But how much money do they give to support the country, or to help the poor and widows in the disaster? ”

Don't say anything else, just talk about Sima Guang, Sima Guang's father, Sima Chi, lost his father when he was a teenager, and he pushed hundreds of thousands of assets in the family to his father and distributed them to his uncles.

What happened behind this, Wang Ju didn't know very well.

Whether there is "knowing" or not is even more doubtful.

It was only during the Zhenzong period, the economy of the Song Dynasty had just improved, and the Sima family had hundreds of thousands of properties just in Sima Chi, so you can imagine how much wealth the entire Sima family had accumulated.

It doesn't matter, one's own property is also accumulated by the ability, and as long as the rich person obtains the wealth by legitimate means, there is nothing wrong with it. But don't use the slogan of people's livelihood, while obviously accumulating countless properties, you also hypocritically say that you are a living Bodhisattva, and even go to live in a tree house......

"Then why are they against war?"

"China has been hospitable since ancient times, obviously their own families are too poor to open the pot, and when guests come, they have to kill chickens and buy wine to entertain. Because of this great tradition, it is better to give it to friends than to slaves. Although there are many poor people in China, in order to make the guests happy, they must squeeze out money and silk to make the guests satisfied. The country is so big, and the guest territory is small, so it doesn't matter if it is encroached upon, it should be to give gifts to entertain guests. But don't let the guests feel aggrieved, so you can't slack off the guests and don't take advantage of the guests. ”

What is the reason for this?

But the reason why Wang Ju said these words was for the future, not for the future, and he used it after a month......

Father-in-law Xiao Huang was stupid when he heard it.

Wei Ming Kerong was also stunned, and even he really thought about it, didn't he?

Otherwise, it can't be explained, how did some Song Dynasty scholars and doctors soften to that extent?

As for Lu Ning and Jiao Wengui, they are even more scratching their heads, many Han people are traditional hospitality, but it's not like that, we are also Han people.

Liu Changzuo was funny in his heart.

However, Wang Ju asked Liu Changzuo to observe, which also made Liu Changzuo grow rapidly.

Wang Ju knocked the table with his fingers, and said: "There is another chance, since the official family has taken my decision, then there is no need for so many troops on the front line, so I will retreat many soldiers and horses to the rear one after another, and the first to retreat is the tens of thousands of Baojie troops brought by General Liu and General Wang." But the rest of the soldiers and horses still held the prisoners of war, continued to build forts, and continued to let the people carry salt. Therefore, this is also a great opportunity for you Xixia people, Dong Yu sent troops to Hexi, just to pick up the cheap, and he will not choose to fight to the death with Renduo Lingding, I believe that he will withdraw his army soon. At that time, you Western Xia can gather all the troops of the whole country and come to Yanzhou, and you will be ashamed. ”

"Don't miss this opportunity. That's all I have to say, you go back to the post station and write a recital. ”

The exchange of envoys between the two countries is not a trivial matter.

If Wang Ju couldn't say that he agreed, the three messengers took their servants and immediately went to Kaifeng.

This will have to be sent to inform the rear.

The three of them left with a confused look, but Xiao Huang's father-in-law was anxious and said: "Ming Gong, it's true, spring is gradually coming, not only these tens of thousands of Baojie troops, but also the Fan army, Baojie and strongmen in the army, they must also let them go back." If the Western Xia gathers a large army to attack, and our army is in the enemy's territory, it is really dangerous. Ming Gong, why do you tell the Tangut people? (To be continued......)
