In Runzhou, King Kang's Mansion, four white candles were lit in the living room, King Kang Zhao Gou was sitting in the right position, his face was very excited, Wang Boyan, Liang Yangzu, Xie Kejia, Zhang Jun, Lu Haowen, Yang Yingcheng and others were sitting on the left and right, worried, excited, and thinking, each with different expressions.

The Jin State sent Xiao Qing to contact Wang Yuan, Du Shiliang went to Xuzhou again to contact Xiao Qing, and brought back the peace conditions of the Jin people, the Jin army withdrew from the whole territory of Huainan East Road, the west road was governed by the Yellow River, the east was bounded by Yizhou, Mizhou, and Huaijun Army, and the Taihang Mountain and Hedong were divided in Hebei. The Great Song and Jin brothers were commensurate, keeping 400,000 silver silks per year, and the Jin and Great Song released prisoners from each other, and Song Qinzong, the Zhao clan, and ministers such as Chen Guoting, Nie Chang, and Qin Hui could all be released.

Xiao Qing also revealed to Du Shiliang and Wang Yuan that the annual coin may be reduced to 200,000 silver silks, but that was a matter of meeting and negotiation at a higher level, Du Shiliang did not report to Li Gang, and returned to Runzhou overnight under Wang Yuan's arrangement. After Du Shiliang reported to Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou immediately found Wang Boyan and these confidants to discuss, Wang Boyan said with joy: "After fighting for so long, the people are tired, if the two sides negotiate peace, there will be no war for a hundred years." ”

Zhang Jun disagreed, saying: "Jin Jun is not true to his words, this time the Great Song Dynasty will even give up the south of the Yellow River, I am afraid that most of the people who disagree." We're here though"

Lu Haowen pondered: "Yang Zhi's northward attack on Kaidefu and Caozhou was stopped due to the topography of Liangshanbo and the lack of food and grass for the army, indicating that the strength of the Gyeonggi Road can only be extended to this point. Li Gang's men and horses may not even be able to recover Haizhou and other places on the Huainan Road, and from the perspective of negotiations, we should not suffer losses, so we might as well report to the prime minister and let them make their own decisions; Xiao Qing has already made it very clear that there will be concessions at the higher-level talks, and I hope that Yizhou, Mizhou, and other places will be able to win some more. ”

Yang Yingcheng is a member of the Ministry of Rites, just returned from the envoy to Goryeo, as a professional diplomat, although Yang Yingcheng is young, but it is better to see the problem than Lu and ask clearly: "Even if Yizhou is taken back, the Jin army can go south at any time to recapture it, the key lies in Hebei, the Jin people asked the Dingbei army to withdraw from Xiangzhou and other places, once the Jin people consolidated the place, it will be a difficult thing for the Dingbei army to kill from Taihang Mountain." ”

Liang Yangzu sneered: "The Dingbei Army has taken such a big advantage this time, showing off its strength on the Gyeonggi Road, if you want to achieve positive results, you must pay a little price." ”

Yang Yingcheng was very unhappy in his heart, when he went to Goryeo, Zhao Gou's camp was still in Bianliang, Shandong was still the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally Wang Boyan and others persuaded Zhao Gou to lead the crowd to leave, and finally lost Shandong and other places, so that the Dingbei Army could easily gain a foothold in Bianliang, followed by a series of amazing performances by Yang Zhi, so that there is such a huge scale as Gyeonggi Road now. In the eyes of these people, Zhao Kai and Yang Zhi of Yunwang may not have any thoughts at all.

However, Liang Yangzu's qualifications and importance are far from being comparable to himself in Zhao Gou's heart, Yang Ying did not speak in a timely manner, and there was not even a little dissatisfied expression on his face; Lu Hao asked if he was a gentleman, thinking that everyone would solve the problem without arguing or arguing, and asked: "What if Bianliang and Taiyuan oppose it?"

Now Taiyuan and Bianliang have the right to speak in the north, and any negotiation cannot be bypassed, as long as the Dingbei Army does not agree, any peace talks will not have substantive effect, as long as the Dingbei Army kills the Taihang Mountain or kills the Yellow River, it will immediately mean war. Wang Boyan thought for a while and said: "Only by letting the Dingbei Army leave the Gyeonggi Road can there be hope for peace talks, otherwise it will not succeed at all." This requires Jin Ren to put forward such conditions, and then we can make a fuss. ”

Wang Boyan's idea is good, but Zhang Jun can no longer trust the Jin people in the repeated struggles with the Jin people, looking at Zhao Gou's expression, Zhang Jun hesitated: "Lord Wang, this is not good, once Yang Zhi's army leaves, it will add a lot of pressure to us, what if the Jin people come over at that time?"

Wang Boyan said indifferently: "The Dingbei Army is well-trained, and the Shaanxi Fifth Road is now well-trained, and it is just transferred to Gyeonggi Road, so that Yang Zhi's army can go to Guanzhong, presumably Zhao Kai and Yang Zhi have nothing to say." ”

Zhang Jun was still a little hesitant, because the current situation of Shaanxi No. 5 Road was not at all comparable to that of Gyeonggi Road, not to mention the civil strife, and the territory was only one-fifth of the original; under the management of Yang Zhi, Gyeonggi Road was now open to commerce and trade, and the people had settled down, and the taxes on both sides alone were not of the same level. Even if I was left behind in Tokyo, I am afraid that I would not agree to such a harsh thing.

Wang Boyan said that Zhao Gou's heart, Wang Shu and others are all fans of Zhao Gou, if they can go to Gyeonggi Road, Zhao Gou can immediately restore the past scenery; Zhao Gou suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "This matter is feasible, I will discuss with the fifth brother, as long as the fifth brother and I have the same opinion, the third brother has no choice." Shi Liang went to talk to Xiao Qing again, and asked them to propose the departure of the Dingbei Army, and the annual coin could only be 200,000 silver silk. ”

It must be the wish of the Jin people to let the Dingbei army leave Bianliang, and with such a big red envelope, Zhao Gou is sure that the Jin people will agree to reduce the number of silver silks. The next day, Du Shiliang set off to Xuzhou, Zhao Gou prepared an invitation, invited King Jing Zhao Qi to come over the house for a drink; King Jing Zhao Qi came happily, what happened on the road to Hangzhou, the biggest loss was King Jing, I didn't expect that the Phantom Sea Thousand Tribulation Gate that was ready to take refuge in himself died hundreds of people in a battle, and the people who advocated relying on themselves in the Thousand Tribulation Gate were almost killed and wounded.

King Jing Zhao Qi naturally wouldn't blame his mother, Queen Zheng, and could only curse the third brother and Yang Zhi, the brother-in-law, for being too cunning in his heart, even if the investigation of the Criminal Department, the Transfer Division, Liangzhe Road, and Gutongyuan all said that everything was an accident, but King Jing Zhao Qi knew that it must have been the Shenxiao faction that had gotten the news in advance and could strike so accurately. Regarding Lao Jiu's invitation, Zhao Qi knew in his heart that Du Shiliang was running back and forth, just to negotiate peace with Jin Guo.

The two brothers sat down in the pavilion, there were six exquisite side dishes and a pot of wine on the table, all the entourage was twenty steps away, King Jing Zhao Qi picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, what is so nervous, Zhu Fu did not involve you, saying that he was deceived by someone with a fake waist card." ”

Zhu Fu is not stupid, if he bites and says that it is a real waist card, then he will offend Queen Zheng and King Jing, then it will really cut off Zhu Fu's own way of life, so Zhu Fu has carried it all, only said that he is anxious to solve the case, and is willing to bear all the responsibility. King Kang Zhao Gou smiled awkwardly and said: "I didn't expect that the third brother had already laid out, and now that Xiuzhou's salt works and taxes are cut off, my father still has the intention of blaming me." ”
