Chapter 1029: Soldiers refer to Datong

Zhao Qi took out the draft resolution from the bookcase and turned to the second page and said, "It is written very clearly! It is not forcing the title to be eliminated. The emperor's uncle can choose to retain the title."

"What should I do with my Chenzhou manor? A thousand hectares of land! I just handed over it?"

"The above just says that if you agree to the removal of the title, you can return the former farmland industry."

"What if you don't accept the sacrificial lord? The farm industry will be gone. Isn't that what it means?"

"In fact, from the perspective of interests, it is beneficial for the emperor to choose to eliminate the title. Anyway, the emperor's emperor's title cannot be passed on to his descendants, and it will be gone in more than ten years. At that time, the descendants of the emperor will not be able to obtain the land, and they will blame the emperor's decision today."

"I mean, I have to fight for the land in the past, and even the king's lord cannot be removed!"

Zhao Qi was silent for a moment and asked, "Is the mansion where the emperor lives now owned by himself?"

"Of course it's my own land I bought with my own money. Who will care about our life and death after moving south?"

Zhao Qi nodded, "That's right. Even the authentic Zhao emperor doesn't care about the life or death of the emperor's uncle. Can the emperor still count on Li Yanqing to show mercy?"

Zhao Wei was surprised, "You mean, this resolution is actually what Li Yanqing meant?"

"I think it should be Li Yanqing's intention. He allowed the royal family to do business and return the land and farms of the past to us. This is Li Yanqing's concession, but what we need to pay, the emperor's uncle never thought about?"

"Li Yanqing asked us to give up our title in exchange for profit?" Zhao Wei's eyes widened.

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Does the emperor know how I made the decision?"

"you say!"

"I went to Zongzheng Temple this afternoon and proposed my condition that I could give up my title. One condition was to return my manor in Kaifeng Prefecture and Bianliang's property. The other condition was that the royal palace I live in now belonged to me and became my private residence and I could pass it to my son."

"You're confused!"

Zhao Wei angrily knocked on the table, "You gave up not only the title, but also the Zhao Songjiangshan!"

"Uncle, I know very well in my heart that Li Yanqing is releasing military power in a glass of wine. If I don't know the consequences, I will die within three years. At that time, the title will be gone and nothing will be gone. What kind of tragic fate will my son have? I don't know yet!"

"This" Zhao Wei was blocked and could not say a word.

Zhao Qi took a sip of tea and said lightly: "I took shit and pee to the Jin soldiers in Huanglong Mansion. I was hungry and even had mice. I was very thirsty and could only eat snow. At that time, I swear that if I could go back to the Central Plains, I must live comfortably for the rest of my life. All royal family and power are bullshit, only white silver, only rich food and houses are the most precious. Because of this title of King Jing, I have died once in the hands of the Jurchens. I don't want to die a second time. The emperor wants to fight for power and go find someone else! I have signed at Zongzheng Temple this afternoon and am willing to give up the title of King."

Zhao Wei sighed and said for a while: "You just said, if I don't sign the decree, will I be killed?"

"Uncle Emperor, there is an old saying that if you don't eat toast, you should consider it yourself!"

Zhao Wei rushed over angrily, but when he returned, he walked out of the palace with a lot of loss. He sighed to the sky, "I, Zhao Songjiangshan, are you really going to finish?"

.........

At the same time when Li Yanqing led his army to capture Bianjing, north of Yanmen Pass, a 100,000 Song army was heading north. This army was the 100,000 Tiger Ben Army led by Liu Ya. Their target was Datong Prefecture in the north of Hedong Road.

Datong Prefecture was originally the Xijing Road of the Liao Kingdom, including Datong Prefecture, Shuozhou, Yingzhou and Weizhou. After the demise of the Liao Kingdom, Xixia also peeked at Xijing Road. Eight years ago, the Xixia army and the Jin soldiers broke out in a battle for Xijing Road. In the end, Xixia was defeated and the Jin Kingdom captured Xijing Road.

For the Song Dynasty, Xijing Road was originally the land of the Central Plains dynasty. It was called Shuozhou, Yunzhou and Weizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and was always under the jurisdiction of the central court.

Therefore, when signing a maritime alliance with the Jin Kingdom, it was clear that after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty took back Xijing Road. However, until today, the Song army entered Xijing Road for the first time.

The Song army first entered Shuozhou. Shuozhou had a small population, only tens of thousands of people, mainly Han people. However, he was a Han native of the Liao Kingdom. After the demise of the Liao Kingdom, they became Han people of the Jin Kingdom. However, they did not have a strong sense of identity with the Jin Kingdom and were more suspicious and afraid of the Song Dynasty.

So when Liu Tie led the 5,000 vanguard troops into Shanyang County, every family in the city closed its doors and the streets were deserted. The people hid in the house and looked out, while the man was holding a knife to fight to the death.

At this time, several officials rushed over and saluted the leader and said, "The lower official Luo Beichao is the county magistrate!"

Liu Tie felt it was a bit strange. The other party was obviously a Han Chinese and spoke fluent Chinese, but he was not an official from the Song Dynasty. He asked, "Your official appointed by the Jin Dynasty?"

Luo Beichao smiled bitterly, "Xiaguan was a Jinshi in the second year of Liao Guobao. He first became the county magistrate. After the Jin soldiers occupied Shuozhou, the original Khitan county magistrate ran away, and Xiaguan was appointed as the county magistrate."

"We are Song Jun!"

"The official of the government knows that he only begs the general not to disturb the people. If he has any requirements, the official of the government will do his best to solve the problem."

"I actually don't have any material requirements, but I want to know the situation of the Jin soldiers now."

"The situation of the Jin soldiers is very simple. They have not changed since they occupied Xijing. Twenty thousand cavalry have been stationed in Datong Prefecture."

"Never come to you?"

Luo Beichao shook his head, "The army has never left Datong Prefecture, but he is going to Datong Prefecture to report his duties."

Liu Tie was really uncomfortable and said coldly: "From today on, you don't have to go to Datong Mansion to report on your work."

"The official understands!"

Liu Tie suddenly remembered something and asked again: "Since this is Shuozhou, where is the governor of Shuozhou?"

"Reporting to the general, the population of Shuozhou is only 30,000, and most of it is concentrated in Shanyang County, so the subordinate officials also serve as the prefect of Shuozhou. In fact, the county yamen and the prefecture are the same."

At this time, a cavalry rushed from behind, and the cavalry clasped his fists to Liu Tiedao: "The governor has arrived, please take the officials here to the camp for questioning."

"I see!"

Liu Tie said to Luo Beichao: "You go to the camp with me! You won't make things difficult for you. After asking, let you go."

Luo Beichao dared not to go, so he had to take the county magistrate and county magistrate to the camp with Liu Tie.

The 100,000 troops had also arrived in Shanyang County. The army simply set up a large tent, and hundreds of them visited the ward to monitor the enemy's situation dozens of miles away.

At this time, Liu Qi was checking the march route on the map in the central army's tent. The army first went to Shanyang County, Shuozhou, and then headed east along the Sanggan River. When he arrived in Yingxian County, Yingzhou, he turned north and followed the Datong River to Datong Prefecture.

The climate here is similar to that in Western Xia. The summer is hot and dry. Marines must follow the river, especially for an army of 100,000 people. The water source is extremely important to them.

The same is true for Jin soldiers. If 20,000 cavalry go south to fight, they must march along the river.

At this time, soldiers outside the tent reported: "General Liu is here, with a local official."

"Let them in!"

After a moment, Liu Tie took Luo Beichao into the tent, and Luo Beichao bowed and bowed, "The lower-ranking official, Luo Beichao, the magistrate of Shanyang County, met with Liu Dutong."

"Are you a Han Chinese?"

"Xiaguan's great-grandfather is from Taiyuan Prefecture."

"How could I go to the north?"

Luo Beichao smiled bitterly, "There was only one kind of Han people who went to the north in that era. They were caught by the Liao army's threshing grass. However, my great-grandfather was a merchant and his goods and money were stolen by the horse bandits. He could not return to his hometown, so he had to stay in Shuozhou, and our descendants could only stay in Shuozhou."

Liu Qi nodded, "Have you been to Datong Mansion?"

"I went to Datong Prefecture to report my work two months ago."

"I want to know the situation in Datong Mansion, how much can you tell me?"

"The officials can only tell the situation of the capital city of Datong, but the officials did not know that their military camp was north of Datong City. I have never been there, nor have I seen the Jin soldiers."
