A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Bing's mouth, how could the Xie Ke family not see Fan Zhixu's scruples, saying this is just blocking everyone's mouths, it can be seen from this point that these subordinates of King Kang, compared with the people of the Dingbei Army, are not only not good at fighting and managing the people, but even their power and strategy are inferior.

The four people were discussing, the chamberlain Shao Chengzhang ran over, Song Huizong summoned the four people in the imperial study, and the four of them hurriedly got up and went with Shao Chengzhang. When Fan Zhixu and others arrived, King Jing Zhao Qi and King Kang Zhao Gou, Xu Han and others arrived, and the battle report in Xuzhou shocked everyone, no matter which side was worried about whether the peace talks would be hopeless. More than a dozen people were really a little crowded in the imperial study, and Song Huizong couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that Zhao Ye still didn't come, and asked Zhao Gou: "Xiao Qing was killed, can the negotiations continue?"

Zhao Gou knew that Song Huizong would definitely ask, so he specially brought Du Shiliang here, and Du Shiliang stepped forward and replied: "Now that the Jin State is Marshal Zuo is lazy to advocate negotiations, it should be able to negotiate, but the nature of Xuzhou's affairs is too bad, if we don't have a suitable attitude, I'm afraid the Jin people will not be satisfied." ”

Du Shiliang is a cautious person, he said that there is still hope for peace talks Song Huizong believed, and said: "King Kang, confirm with that side as soon as possible, otherwise after the Dingbei Army is leaving, the Jin people change their minds, and we will be very embarrassed." ”

Obviously, at this point, Song Huizong no longer wants to hide anything; if the Dingbei army is not there, the Jin army is unwilling to negotiate peace, and the two sides will fight again, and if there is a defeat, Song Huizong will not be able to explain to his subjects. Zhao Gou agreed: "Erchen understands that my father, Yang Zhi's use of troops across the border is tantamount to plotting against him, so he can order Zhang Jun to take Yang Zhi down." ”

Zhao Gou meant that he hoped that Song Huizong would take a certain punishment for the Dingbei Army, saying that taking Yang Zhi down was just to show his own attitude, there were more than 100,000 Dingbei troops in Kaifeng City, and with Zhang Jun's ability, if he really wanted to do this, he could leave Kaifeng alive, which was already considered Yang Zhibenevolent. Zhao Gou's real intention was to hope that Song Huizong would make a statement and reprimand Yang Zhi for a few words.

But Song Huizong didn't answer this conversation, after all, Song Huizong has been in power for decades, and he knows that politics is dirty, and no agreement or other bullshit can be regarded as the same thing, especially between countries, the word integrity is still guaranteed by the strength of both sides. The Dingbei Army is the other side of Song Huizong's bargaining chip, Song Huizong supports Zhao Gou to negotiate, but he will not destroy the hole cards in his hand, besides, Yang Zhi's hob meat, reprimand is just an opportunity to play a tragic scene.

Seeing through Song Huizong's intentions, Xu Han disagreed with Zhao Gou's opinion and said: "At present, the negotiations are only being carried out in secret, and it is still impossible to say anything to the outside world, even if there is an accident, there is no way; for the sake of peace talks, we have to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to change the guard, and it also includes a series of risks that may be caused by changing officials. I'm just wondering, why are the Dingbei Army so willing to give up Gyeonggi Road, Lord Xie, are they really ready to go?"

"It's true, but so far, Zhang Jun hasn't seen Yang Zhi, and has only gotten news from other sources. Xie Ke's family actually wanted to find out what kind of attitude Runzhou had in their hearts; Xie Kejia took the opportunity to describe Zhang Jun's trip to Bianliang and said: "Yang Zhi took the family members of the Dingbei Army and the Tuntian Army away, at least hundreds of thousands of people will enter Hedong, and now Bianliang and other places are transporting materials and people to Hedong every day. ”

Xie Ke's family is paving the way for begging for supplies in the future, but Xie Ke's family is not Zhang Jun, and no one takes his words seriously; as for Zhang Jun and Yang Zhi not meeting, it is still the reason why Zhang Jun is reluctant to go to Huazhou. Xu Han said with a smile: "It's different, at least the crops of the common people on Gyeonggi Road can be harvested, and there is no rout of the army and rogues; It's just that at this point, what troops do you and the Privy Council plan to mobilize to defend Bianliang?"

Xu Han's question is very acute, after a few years of war, almost all the veterans of the Great Song Dynasty are gone, whether there can be an army similar to the Dingbei Army is the key to the future trend; if there is no army, let the Dingbei Army leave, wouldn't it be an empty talk. Everyone's eyes are on the Xie Ke family, since you dare to come back for Zhang Jun, you must kill all the morale that Zhang Jun should do; Xie Ke family considered and said: "It is better to keep a little of the current army in Bianliang, if you transfer the army, you will need to transfer the army from the Shaanxi Fifth Road and the Jinghu South and Jinghu North Roads, which will require 200,000 troops." ”

This Xie Ke family did not discuss the details with Zhang Jun, he just knew that Zhang Jun needed enough troops, and the more the better; Wang Xiang is now the head of the household, more than anyone else hopes that Zhang Jun will not open his mouth this time, now it seems that these people can not be expected to be gentlemen, Wang Xiang frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked: "Is it like the Dingbei Army, 100,000 people in Tuntian, and normally guarantee the supply of 100,000 people?"

Tuntian is a pioneering move of the Dingbei Army, but it is simple and effective, and now Li Gang is also in Tuntian in Yingtianfu and Sizhou, which can not only reduce military spending, but also place a part of the displaced people as a source of soldiers; Wang Xiang knows that the household department is where the power of King Kang lies, and the power of his own Shangshu is not as big as that of Liang Yangzu, but now there is really no money, and the money to supply Chuzhou twice a year has been wasted, and the financial resources of the southeast are exhausted, otherwise Liang Yangzu would not have proposed to find Jiaozi.

Xie Kejia shook his head and said: "We can't do it, fortunately, after the autumn harvest is winter, if there is no war in the spring of next year, I will find a way to arrange Tuntian, and in addition, we need the Dingbei Army to provide 5,000 to 10,000 war horses, and the horses in the southwest will arrive in Guanzhong, and there will be a big difference in the battle." ”

Tang Zhong was familiar with the situation in Shaanxi, and said coldly: "There is no need to mention the matter of war horses, the household department can't pay such a price, since only 10,000 war horses are needed, it is better to transfer 10,000 cavalry from Shaanxi, and let them all choose the war horses of Western Xia and Tubo." ”

Tang Zhong solved a difficult problem, but the cost of 200,000 troops a year, even if there is no war, it is an astronomical amount, if there is a war, it is almost a bottomless pit; besides, the Xie Ke family absolutely does not have Yang Zhi's ability to solve itself, Wang Xiang looked at Liang Yangzu beside him and asked, "What is Lord Liang's opinion?"
