Chapter 699: There should be no need to escape

If the capital of the country is lost, this is an unprecedented thing in the history of Dayan, it is a great shame, Shang Jianxiong needs a fig leaf, choose to choose, only Shang Yongzhong is the most suitable, that is, the prince of the royal family, and the great Sima in charge of military affairs in Yan State.

Let Shang Yongzhong stay in the War of Resistance, whether it is to cover up his shame or to explain internally and externally, is there anyone more suitable than him?

Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng knew the emperor's intentions, and they jointly recommended it behind Shang Yongzhong's back, Shang Yongzhong was almost frightened after knowing it, and he almost went to greet Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng's ancestors in person. But he also knew that those two were just pushing the boat along the river, and the real decision was still in the hands of the emperor.

How dare he stay in the War of Resistance, that is looking for death, he found the emperor to resign, but he couldn't resign, Shang Jianxiong didn't agree.

Shang Jianxiong said that he would protect his family and take his family away with him, so that he would not have any worries and hold the capital with peace of mind. But no matter how Shang Yongzhong listened, it seemed like he was taking his own family hostage.

Shang Jianxiong also said that as long as he stays to guard the capital, even if he is meritorious, even if he atones for his crimes, his previous mistakes will not be investigated.

The emperor said it to this point, Shang Yongzhong understood that he had no way out, and the emperor at this time was like a beast, it was easy to provoke and eat people.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to agree, and he also stubbornly stabilized the morale of the left-behind people, and said to the left-behind people, I am here, there is nothing to be afraid of, reinforcements will arrive soon, etc.

This is also one of the roles that His Majesty the Emperor left him to guard.

There is no way, Shang Jianxiong took control of his family as soon as possible, dare not agree to try it, the previous combat mistakes and misguided the country are the best excuses for slaughter!

At this time, he was really happy to cry, his eyes were filled with tears of joy, and he could finally escape the catastrophe, holding the good news in both hands, and asked Shang Jianxiong to take a look.

Shang Jianxiong didn't mean to take it, and looked at him coldly, "Do you think this is the good news that the widow needs? Can you let the Song army retreat? This is the good news of Shang Chaozong!"

When it comes to Shang Chaozong, it can be described as gnashing teeth.

He had always had the last glimmer of hope before, but in the end, his hope was completely shattered, and Shang Chaozong's 100,000 iron cavalry had been accompanying the Song army.

He kept him holding on until the end, and he didn't see Shang Chaozong have the slightest intention of attacking the Song army, forcing him to flee from Yanjing, which clearly showed that he wanted to sit back and watch him, the emperor of Dayan, abandon the capital and flee in a hurry!

Shang Chaozong gave him hope, and let that hope be shattered in front of his eyes, how cruel it was to him, he had hated Shang Chaozong to the bone at this time!

Shang Yongzhong raised his hand and slapped his forehead, knowing that he had not made his words clear, so that the emperor had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, not only did the Song army's 2 million Jiang defense elites be wiped out, but also captured 600,000 prisoners! Meng Shanming captured the 600,000 elites of the Song army as prisoners, and with these 600,000 elites as prisoners, it was a bargaining chip for negotiation! Your Majesty, what country can sit idly by and ignore its own 600,000 elites? With these 600,000 prisoners in hand, how dare the Song army attack our capital again?"

Hearing this, Shang Jianxiong's cold face melted, and like Tian Yu, he was surprised.

Shang Jianxiong seemed to be a little unconvinced, "The two armies are fighting, and they are the elite of the Song army, can they capture 600,000 prisoners in such a short period of time?"

Shang Yongzhong sighed and said: "Who says it is not, but I have to admit that Meng Shanming, the old cripple, does have a set of wars, after breaking through the river defense, the Song army was confused and confused, and he fell into his trap, he dug the river embankment, borrowed the water of a river, and swept the Song army in Qunluo Mountain without a single soldier, and then picked up 600,000 prisoners like beans, and also seized the grain and grass of the Song army as supplies. Your Majesty, now it seems that it is not for nothing that Meng Shanming insisted on attacking the Song Dynasty before, and it is really powerful to hide such a poisonous hand behind the dare to love, and now there are these 600,000 captives..."

"Shut up for me!" Shang Jianxiong raised his eyes slightly, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Which side are you standing on?"

Tian Yu, who was on the side, also looked at Shang Yongzhong with a strange expression, and found that this person seemed to be a little overjoyed, and he couldn't even control his mouth.

But it's understandable that there is a chance to escape.

"Uh..." Shang Yongzhong was stunned, and after reacting, he sweated a little, and almost didn't smack himself, and found that he was happy and confused, how could he help Shang Chaozong say good things over there, so he quickly lowered his head and shut up.

But he was still excited and happy in his heart, after all, he could save his life, otherwise he would really have to sacrifice his life for the country.

Without being verbose, Shang Jianxiong finally read the good news carefully, this victory was indeed too unexpected for him, and he really captured 600,000 prisoners.

"Negotiate with Song Guo?" Shang Jianxiong, who closed the good news, asked as if talking to himself.

Shang Yongzhong nodded again and again, "Your Majesty, immediately summon the Song envoy and order the Song army to withdraw immediately! With these 600,000 prisoners in hand, plus the western border defense of the Song Kingdom was broken by me, the Song Kingdom is empty, and in the face of the threat of Meng Shanming, it will definitely agree!"

The Song envoy is still in Yanjing, no matter how the two countries fight, the two countries will not fight the envoy, after all, some things still have to communicate with the relevant countries through the envoy, so they will not easily move the envoy, so they can be summoned at any time.

Shang Jianxiong hesitated: "Can Meng Shanming hand over the 600,000 captives?"

Shang Yongzhong was surprised, "If you don't pay it, can you eat it if you keep it in your hands? Mengshan Ming's grain and herbs are insufficient, and he still can't raise those 600,000 captives? He can't slaughter all the 600,000 captives, right? Besides, there are still three major factions, don't the three major factions want the two countries to truce their troops, do they really want to fight to the death and let South Korea pick up the cheap? Your Majesty can find Meng Xuan and let the three major factions put pressure on Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming, and the three major factions will inevitably agree!"

Shang Jianxiong thought about it, and looked at Tian Yu again, Tian Yu bowed slightly, obviously agreeing with Shang Yongzhong's words.

Shang Jianxiong turned around and walked away quickly, and at the same time ordered, "Let Da Sikong and Da Situ come to the imperial study to discuss matters." ”

Tian Yu immediately summoned a eunuch to come over and order him to go down.

And Shang Jianxiong himself is now going to see Meng Xuan, for fear of accidents, and wants Meng Xuan to inform the three major factions to take the 600,000 prisoners.

As soon as I walked out of the court building, I saw a group of women coming out of the direction of the harem, a group of women led by the queen who were still apprehensive.

Seeing these people, Shang Jianxiong couldn't help but stop, his eyes moved away from a group of women, and he turned to the direction of the harem, his breathing was a little short, and his cheeks became blue.

Shang Yongzhong didn't know what was going on in the harem, and that kind of thing would not be publicized beforehand, and at most it would leak out afterwards, so he just felt that the emperor's face was a little ugly.

Seeing the queen and others, Tian Yu's face was also ugly, the good news came late, if you don't have to abandon the capital again, the beauties in the harem have already been executed, how can your majesty be embarrassed?

Therefore, he can best understand Shang Jianxiong's mood at this time.

Shang Jianxiong's cheeks tightened, and then he ignored the queen and others who came out of the harem and walked forward.

Tian Yu walked quickly to the queen, and reminded in a low voice after seeing the ceremony: "Niangniang, please wait a while, nobles." ”

The queen was a little nervous and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Tian Yu shook his head, he couldn't say anything, it depended on whether the three major factions agreed or not to decide whether to stay.

The queen, who had just witnessed a brutal execution in the harem, saw that he didn't say anything, and didn't dare to ask anything more.

Tian Yu saluted and retired, and chased Shang Jianxiong to ......

The communication with Meng Xuan was very smooth, and Meng Xuan received the battle report of the great victory almost at the same time, knowing that the matter of 600,000 captives was true, and it was natural to protect Yanjing, and it was a matter of the three major factions for the two countries to strike the army and protect the Yan State, so he naturally agreed, and Meng Xuan readily agreed.

After dealing with the three major factions, Shang Jianxiong then met with Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng, and immediately summoned Song to make Qian Liansheng after discussion.

At first, Qian Liansheng was still arrogant, and Song Guo's soldiers were strong and suppressed Yan Guo.

The battle report on the Yan side was directly transmitted from the battlefield, and the battle report of the defeat of the Song State was directly transmitted to the Song court, and it was not passed on to the Song envoy Qian Liansheng for the first time, so Qian Liansheng was shocked to learn from the Yan State that the Song army was defeated and captured by the Yan army with 600,000 prisoners!

He couldn't make the decision about the conditions proposed by Yan Guo, so he asked him to be allowed to report, and he also wanted to find out the truth of the matter and left in a hurry.

......

"Master, why are you back? The family is ready to go at any time. ”

At the gate of Gaofu, Gao Jiancheng got out of the carriage and just returned from the palace, and the housekeeper Fan Zhuan immediately greeted him. Gao Jiancheng said that he would drive with him, and when he came back suddenly, Fan Zhuan thought that Gao Jiancheng was worried about his family, so he explained.

"It's okay, there should be no need to escape, let's get back to normal. Gao Jiancheng threw down the words and went to the inner house.

"Uh..." Fan Zhuan was stunned, then complied, turned around and ordered, and asked everyone to reset the things they had packed.

Gao Jiancheng returned to his study, and when he entered the door, he thought he had gone to the wrong place and was empty, but then he realized that it should have been cleaned up.

The table and chairs are still there, so he won't even pack this and take it away, he just sat down behind the case, Fan Zhuan also came in and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

He asked as he pulled a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Gao Jiancheng leaned back in the chair and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That Meng Shanming, it is indeed powerful, he can actually fight like this, he cut off one of Song Guo's legs in the first battle, and almost took half of Song Guo's life, and now Meng Shanming has Song Guo's 600,000 elites in his hand as prisoners, with this bargaining chip, Song Guo can't even withdraw his troops if he wants to, so Yanjing is worry-free, and he doesn't have to flee anymore." ”

Raising his hand and brushing his beard as he spoke, his eyes flashed with a strange look, after this battle, he had realized that the treasure he secretly bet on in desperation was just a bet, which was worth looking forward to.

Fan Zhuan was stunned for a moment, put the paper in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Dao Ye just came with news, and it is the matter of the 600,000 captives, whether to kill or not, I want to ask the master's opinion." ”

"Kill?" Gao Jiancheng was startled, and said in his heart, Master, Daoye, don't scare me, here is to cancel the preparation to evacuate Yanjing, you kill the 600,000 captives, the two countries are still talking about a fart, turn back here The old god is not leaving, but the Song State is attacking over there, and when the time comes, you can't run away, and a group of people on Yanjing's side must not be killed by you.

He knew that Niu Youdao definitely had that influence on Meng Shanming, and if Niu Youdao really made up his mind to kill, the gang in the capital would be in big trouble.

He hurriedly took the secret letter and checked it to see what Niu Youdao meant.
