The first thousand three hundred and twenty-nine chapters sharpen the knife Huo Huo Xiang Zhang Jian
A dove with dark blue feathers flew in the sky, flapping its wings toward the heights, then spreading its arms to glide, sometimes surrounding the air as if determining the direction.
It is an elf in the sky, flying day and night, every fast muscle and every feather on its body are born for flying, and its speed is unimaginable. It travels through the fields and leaps high walls. After entering the plain, this is its home court.
It is familiar with this land, familiar with every scenery under its feet, flying in the air, singing in the air; in front of it is a prosperous city, a tall wall, and it is also where it belongs.
The carrier pigeon landed on the pigeon loft with a sloping edge. It had already completed its mission. The small bamboo tube under its feet had been removed. Sancai did not dare to unpack it privately and ran to the Qinzheng Hall where Zhao Zhen was.
After waiting for so many days, I finally got the news from Peng Qi, but who knew that it was a message conveyed by a carrier pigeon. Since the Liao Dynasty's fast horse came to Beijing to inform the delegation of the mission, the official family lived in the Qinzheng Hall and traveled between the Privy Council.
Peng Qi's news was naturally crucial. When he came to Qinzheng Hall, Sancai stretched out his hand to push the door and saw the official family lying on a rocking chair and pretending to sleep. He looked at the skylight and it was already past Shangwu. The official family always used to taking a nap after lunch.
At the moment, the military situation was like fire, and Sancai dared not refuse to report it, so he spoke carefully: "The military information of the official family, Zhongjing Road, was transmitted by Peng Qifei Ge."
Zhao Zhen suddenly opened his eyes. The war in Zhongjing Dao was in full swing, and the Liao people sent a delegation at this time, and Zhang Jian was also an envoy. The significance of it was self-evident.
Zhao Zhen has not been concerned about the war in Zhongjingdao these days, but is thinking about how to gain greater benefits from this peace talks between the Liao people. Negotiation is skillful, but in Zhao Zhen’s opinion, no matter how high the negotiation skills are, they are not as good as their strong strength.
Zhao Zhen learned about the situation in Zhongjing Road in detail through the fast horse memorials. The memorials in front of him were piled up one meter high and were densely packed together. Sancai felt a headache when he looked at it. The useful information in the five Hanlin scholars kept writing them on a note and handed them to the eunuch beside him.
The interior decorations summarized this information together and summarized it on the sand table by officials of the Privy Council. This made it clear at a glance. Zhao Zhen opened the bamboo tube in his hand and the content of Peng Qi's memorial was not about Zhang Jian, but made an amazing decision to attack Dading Mansion.
Although this was the ultimate goal set at the beginning, after Zhang Jian's riot, Peng Qi could still insist on attacking the Dading Mansion. This was his own judgment! Zhao Zhen was a little relieved. This fool had been with him for so many years and finally knew how to be flexible and flexible. But what he didn't know was that his future son-in-law Su Shi played a crucial role in it.
Before Zhang Jian arrived, the Song Dynasty did not know that the Liao Dynasty proposed peace talks. The Liao Dynasty's fast horses and cavalry were just informing the Honglu Temple of Zhang Jian's saints below, but did not say what was going on. Even if the Song Dynasty knew the Liao Dynasty's intentions, it could be regarded as not knowing it.
The old story of the Chanyuan Alliance was not far away. Zhao Zhen knew the ending after the cession of the Song and Liao countries. The Song Dynasty lost a god-given opportunity to completely destroy the Liao Dynasty, and he could not make such a mistake.
Zhao Zhen wrote on the note to promote peace by fighting and war by promoting talk. After eight words, he handed it to Sancai: "Send a flying cavalry to report to Peng Qi!"
On the battlefield of Zhongjing Road, the pigeons became a channel for one-way communication. No matter how far a pigeon flew, they could find their home, but they could not find their own targets. This is the most difficult thing, so they could use the pigeons to send messages back from the front line, but they could not deliver messages from the back line.
Di Qing came. He was the Privy Councilor and would not care about political affairs. However, he still praised Zhao Zhen's use of fighting to promote peace and war to promote talks. At this time, the most unbearable one was the Liao people. The more fierce the attack of the Song Dynasty, the higher the price offered by the Liao people.
Di Qing held a bamboo stick and pointed on the map: "Now, our army in the Song Dynasty can be divided into two routes from east to west. There are Wu Lie, Wu Wei, Qian Niu Guards and even Guihua City and Yuzhou City. They are stationed east of Dading Prefecture. The city defense is taken over by the Sixteen Guards, and the Shang Fourth Army led by Peng Qishu and Yang Huaiyu's Beiwei Army Stepping White Army."
Di Qing paused for a moment and bowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "I think the two armies of Beiwei and Bai can block the Liao people's assistance for the surrounding cavalry, making Dading Prefecture an isolated city. The four armies and the three armies on the eastern front attacked each other from east to west, and the city was destroyed!"
Zhao Zhen nodded. There were many prefectures north of Dading Prefecture. It was indeed necessary to use 100,000 cavalry as a barrier to block the reinforcements of the Liao people. Moreover, the cavalry was not good at siegeing the city, so it was useless to let them go.
What's more, there are cavalry among the three armies on the eastern front for dispatch, and there are also many cavalrymen in the upper fourth army.
"What Duke Di said is very much, so he will use troops according to your words. This time he will definitely take down the Dading Mansion, otherwise I will never give up!"
"If Zhang Jian enters Beijing to discuss the agreement with our Song Dynasty but attacks Zhongjing Dading Prefecture, this matter will be promoted to damage the prestige of our Song Dynasty and the face of Your Majesty."
Fan Zhongyan spoke at this time, which inevitably made Di Qing look ugly. This was a battle on the battlefield. If he took care of his rights, how could he win? But he didn't expect Fan Zhongyan's next words: "Since the Liao people sent a prime minister to come, I will naturally treat each other as a matter of Pingzhang. I would like to ask Your Majesty to treat Zhang Jian with a state gift, but I avoid it. I can just deal with him!"
Zhao Zhen's eyes were almost glaring out. Unexpectedly, Fan Zhongyan, who was a humble gentleman, had such a scheming and concise side, but thinking about it, the best way at the moment is to not see Zhang Jian and discuss it after the Song Dynasty took over the Dading Mansion.
Even the Dading Prefecture was lost, so what else did the Liao people use to rule Zhongjing Road? Even if the remaining prefectures were not given to the Liao people, they would change their ownership in the face of the strong pressure of the Song Dynasty.
If you want to compete with the Song Dynasty, you don’t have to have strong power, otherwise all words will be pale and powerless. What’s the point? Of course, the Song Dynasty is the Chinese state of China, and naturally respects the etiquette, but you have to pay a considerable price.
The army was raging cruelly on Zhongjing Road. Could it be possible to stop at Zhongjing Road? You should know that Wu'anzhou, which crossed Zhongjing Road, was the surrendered state of the Liao Dynasty's Shangjing Road!
The Liao Dynasty sent Zhang Jian not to discuss the war with the Song Dynasty on Zhongjing Road, but to discuss the peace with the Song Dynasty to avoid the disaster of destroying the country!
Di Qing stayed as a military adviser, and a group of officials from the Song Dynasty, as well as important officials like Bao Zheng and Cai Boqi, who were the prime ministers, all participated in the discussion on how to get the greatest benefits from Zhang Jian and how to divide this big meat pie.
Of course, the name is: "Diligent Hall discusses affairs."
