Song Xia's competition for the northwest region is not only the relationship between the two countries, but also related to the countries of the Western Regions. If the Western Xia cedes land and seeks peace and loses not only land, but also political status, he will change from a large country that can compete with the Song and Liao for hegemony to a regional hegemon, and the Great Song will become the overlord of the northwest region again, then it is necessary to consider whether to ally with the Xia to fight against the Great Song Dynasty, or to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty; If the Song Dynasty won a great victory and abandoned the land as usual, then the Great Song Dynasty would still be a paper tiger who could only bluff, and there was no need to be afraid of him.

The next peace talks will determine the political trend of the Western Regions, which will inevitably attract the attention of various countries, so the city gathers the detailed works of various countries, their main purpose is to obtain first-hand information, so that they can prepare in advance to adjust the relations between countries, so they use all means at all costs to obtain the required information, want to exert influence on the peace talks, and hope to make a proposal that is beneficial to their own side. But the relationship between countries is not so harmonious, openly they can still pretend to be snakes, but secretly they have their own ghosts, completely tearing off the mask of hypocrisy, setting off a bloody storm, Lingzhou City has become a vanity fair for all countries to seek benefits!

Zhao Ta's attitude is that as long as you do not threaten the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, do not involve military and political secrets, do not infringe on the lives of the garrison, do not disturb the order of Lingzhou City, and do not harm innocent people, he will adopt a policy of turning a blind eye. But Zhao Ta doesn't care about it, it doesn't mean that he is laissez-faire, he sent the Intelligence Department, the Military Intelligence Department and the Military Justice Team to monitor these spies, first, he can find out the intentions of the other party; second, they can grasp their whereabouts; The third is to get some information you need.

Although sneaking into Lingzhou City is just speculation. But no one dares to take it lightly. There was no such thing, and the ministries immediately began to investigate. No one has ever seen him, even his height, age, and ethnicity can't be said, there is only one clue that 'loves fish', there are many cute people who eat fish, and those who can't eat fish can catch it!

Li Jun, Jiang Fei and Zhao Zhong got together to discuss, and after careful analysis, they believed that it was impossible for Raid to come and assassinate alone, even if he came alone, he needed the support of intelligence, and he would not be so stupid as to wait on the street with a knife and cut people on the street like a thug; Another place he needs a safe place to stay, although the hotel is convenient. But it is also not conducive to hiding his identity, the hotel is the most closely checked and easily monitored place, it is easy to be exposed, then he can only hide in the people. Especially those party members who didn't have time to escape...

The ten-day period of the armistice expired, and the Western Xia side sent people to ask for a three-day extension, but Zhao Ta refused, and the next day after the expiration of the period, he sent troops across the river to shell Shunzhou, and then occupied Jingzhou. According to an insider's report, in order to obtain the withdrawal of the Song army. The Western Xia side gave Prince Yan 50,000 stone of grain, 2,000 sheep, 500 Xiliang horses, no gold and silver, and asked for another three days!

Although Zhao Tan's actions were resolved in a peaceful way, everyone knew that this would only make Li Qianshun more jealous of the prince, and he would kill him quickly, and the search for the robbery had not yet yielded results, which made several people more anxious, and on the one hand, they could only try to let the prince stay at home. Less going out, after all, it's safer at home than outside; The other side stepped up its efforts and carried out a large-scale search and arrest of the Western Xia spies who had infiltrated Lingzhou City, sabotaging their intelligence network; Another is to strengthen the management of people stranded in Lingzhou City, who do not have a residence. The diaspora who did not have more than two people as a guarantor found a place for them to spend the winter. Screening.

The matter went out vigorously, and everyone also understood that it was impossible for an old Jianghu like Duduo to be recruited, and all that could be played was to cut off his contact with Xingzhou, cut off his channels for obtaining information, and play the role of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, hoping that he would retreat in the face of difficulties. And the road of finding people with fish did not go through, and the people of the Military Intelligence Department pretended to be Song Jun to buy and buy fish everywhere, trying to find some clues from them, but they returned in vain. …,

Did he not go to Lingzhou City at all, or did he quit his hobby? Just when everyone doubted their original judgment, an accidental incident turned things around, and things still started because of the fish. After the news of the Song Army's high price of fish spread, two boys saw the business opportunities, they did not have fish at home, but there were rivers and lakes in Lingzhou City, although they were frozen, but they could not be frozen, and the fish at this time were also the best to catch. So they took their tools to chisel ice and fish, ready to make a small fortune.

The two of them chose the fishing place in the Royal Forest Garden in the past, not to mention fishing in the past, even if you look at it twice, you can break your legs, after the Song army broke the city, there was no one to care about it here. Not to mention that these two boys really know how to choose a place, the party people don't eat fish, and the fish in the lake have never been caught, so how many must there be, you don't need to fish for a hole, the fish is crackling and jumping out!

For two days in a row, these two people returned with a full load every day, and naturally they made a lot of money, but on the third day, they met a business grabber, and saw that someone was also there to dig ice and fish, of course they didn't follow it, and wanted to drive people away in line with the first-come-first-served rule, but they were beaten by the man, and as a result, the fish were fished, and each person was chopped off a little finger. The two were angry, and gathered a group of people to seek revenge, and the soldiers patrolling the streets saw these people with guns and sticks, and immediately stopped them and sent them to the law enforcement team.

The law enforcement team is now nervous about the fish, as soon as they heard that it was a fish-related incident, they immediately reported it as soon as possible, Zhao Zhong personally asked, I felt that the matter was not big but felt strange, folk brawls are generally mixed, which head and butt, how can I arbitrarily judge people's fingers, this is clearly the means of the people in the rivers and lakes, and he thinks of being reckless and reckless, and immersed in the rivers and lakes for many years, so it is natural to act like this.

Zhao Zhong immediately summoned people to Lin Yuan to arrest people, and reported to Li Jun, but the people had long since disappeared, and after searching, traces of human habitation were found in a hut where the soldiers who used to guard Lin Yuan lived, and some fish bones and some broken pieces of paper were scattered outside the house. Li Jun also rushed to the scene immediately after the report, carefully surveyed the scene again, and asked the two parties, after the broken pieces of paper were spliced together, it was the map of Xicheng, which clearly marked the location of the government and the surrounding arming situation. His judgment is the same as Zhao Zhong's, the stealing is in Lingzhou City, and the target is the prince.

This time, he failed to catch Aggressive, but it was not for nothing, and it was confirmed that Aggressive was nearby, and through the description of the two people, he drew Aggressive's face, and mastered his age, height and other basic information. However, they also felt the crisis, the peace talks were imminent, the prince could not always hide at home, once he went out, he would create an opportunity for the opponent to assassinate, and now the snatching disappeared like a meteor in the sky, and disappeared without a trace.

．．．．．．

The first to return to Lingzhou City was to return to Beijing to give gifts, and he brought back the emperor's handwritten edict and a large number of rewards, as well as winter clothes sewn by Niangniang.

After seeing the happy things and resting, they reported to the prince the news obtained by the Beijing delegation and the changes in the court, and the attitude of the court and the central government towards the western expedition, although Wang Hao and others were harsh on the conditions for peace talks proposed by Zhao Ta, but they also had to admit that Zhao Ta's vision was far-reaching, and the government and the opposition praised him as a hero, even the scholars who have always been picky did not make a discordant sound, so that Zhao Ta's reputation climbed to the peak again.

"The higher you hold it, the more it hurts to fall!" After hearing this, Zhao Ta only said lightly, without the slightest excitement on his face, but with a little more worry, because he knew that killing people in this world does not have to use a knife, and there is also the trick of 'killing'!

The next to Lingzhou City is the peace talks chief envoy Cai You and his party, he waited from early autumn to deep winter, it can be said that the flowers are grateful, only then from the Holy Decree, from Taiyuan to Lingzhou City, it happened that just entered Lingzhou and met another deputy envoy Tong Guan, so the two rode to Lingzhou City. Cai You was okay, with a hundred and ten entourage staff, and two commanded guards of the forbidden army; Tong Guan is amazing, only his pro-army Jiesheng Army has more than 10,000 people, who knows Lu Dao is here to negotiate, and those who don't know Lu Dao think that they are here to set up a field for Zhao Ta! …,

Zhao Ta was also very enthusiastic about the arrival of these two 'old friends', not only sent the generals of the Song army in Lingzhou led by Zhao Ren to put up a guard of honor to receive them into the city, but also arranged a hall for them and arranged guards, but Cai You, the main envoy, did not appreciate it and had to live with Tong Guan. Zhao Ta couldn't help it, so he found a foreign residence of a prince in Western Xia in the city as the official residence of the two, and vacated a barracks to arrange for the two of them to live.

Before the peace talks began, the discerning people saw that the three were not in harmony, and Cai You and Tong Guan were obviously in a group, isolating Prince Yan. Everyone knows that the prince does not rub sand in his eyes, as soon as these two people came, they gave the prince a big chicken nest neck, everyone was worried about the prince's temper, don't start the peace talks, the three of them did it first, so that Xixia benefited from it, and others saw the joke.

But Zhao Ta's performance was unexpected, not only did he not give the two of them a face, but also prepared a reception banquet in the camp to wash the dust for them, and did the friendship of the landlord. In terms of official rank, Zhao Ta, Tong Guan and Cai You are all already lieutenants, and the three of them are comparable; In terms of grade, Zhao Ta is a first-class official residence, and the other two are also the same Sanyi in the opening of the mansion, and they are also indistinguishable from each other; But when it comes to titles, Zhao Ta is the prince, and the two are just 'dukes', and they are inferior to him. But at this time, Tong Guan and Zhao Ta were both foreign ministers and deputy envoys, and Cai You was a Beijing official, the official envoy of the King Dynasty, so the two let him sit on the main seat, but Cai You was very useless, like sitting on pins and needles...
