"...For the negotiation outside the city, it will only take a few days to continue. ◎, the Jurchen asked to cede the north of the Yellow River, but it was just a lion's opening, but the real benefits, they definitely want. We believe that compensation It doesn't matter if it's with the coin, if it can continue normally, the money will always come back. In order to ensure that Taiyuan is safe, there are several conditions that can be negotiated. First of all, compensation for money and goods will be escorted by our troops. Commanding the Wu Rui Camp, crossing Yanmen Pass, or crossing Taiyuan, it was delivered just now, but now, there are problems..."
Before the wind and snow had stopped, in the study of the Right Prime Minister's mansion, the voices continued, and the one who spoke at this time was Tong Zhiyuan, who had entered the core.
"In order to protect the Jurchen from Bianliang, the details on the negotiating table are that we compensate for the goods, coins and food for the return journey. The Jurchen handed over all the siege equipment in the camp. The day the Jurchen retreated, it changed hands. The dukes of the Tang Dynasty only needed to finalize the fact that the Jurchen had withdrawn their troops. Mr. Li negotiated with Zongwang every day and thanked him behind closed doors. Yesterday, he reported that the Jurchen attempt to demand the north of the Yellow River had been cancelled, but Zongwang still insisted on the line from Taiyuan to Yanmen Pass. Therefore, there is still a long way to go before all the Jurchens retreat and the conditions for our army to escort out of Yanmen Pass…”
Tong Zhiyuan was talking about the details. After he finished speaking, Jue Ming opened his mouth.
"The Jurchen has been sieging the city for nearly a month, and the siege equipment has long been worn out and can't be used very much. They use this as a bargaining chip, just to give Li Cha a step down. The so-called sky-high asking price, they have to pay back the money, but Li Cha didn't have such audacity, no matter if it was north of the Yellow River or north of Taiyuan, it was not in the Jurchen's expectations! It doesn't sound good. No matter what it is, it's better to come and get it next time! But if Li Cha can't bite to death, they won't be taboo to take a piece of meat away."
Qin Siyuan sighed: "About Taiyuan, I originally wanted to lobby Li Sha by myself, but later I asked Qin Su to come forward, but Li Sha still refused to meet. In private, I never let go. This time the matter is too serious, he wants to make an appointment. , I can't wait too much..."
"Li Cha has a handle, but it doesn't make sense to take it out at this time. The news has been released privately here. Li Cha should be able to meet with Qin Xiang, and I just hope that he can negotiate the basis for it. Go on. Try to be tough. Give someone roses, and the fragrance will linger in your hands." Yao Zunian opened his eyes and said, "It's Liheng's side, what should I do specifically?"
"Xiacun army, the conflict with the other armies, Zhuji is ready." Ning Yi replied, "Inside the city and outside the city, we have begun to organize and publicize various stories in this war. We do not It is planned to only let the people of Xia Village take advantage of this, and the collection and weaving of all things will be carried out at the same time in various armies, including hundreds of thousands of people outside the city, and the forbidden army in the city. Whenever there are stories of bloody battles, they will help them. publicity."
Ning Yi said calmly, Yao Zunian and the others nodded.
"In the past few days. When they came to recruit soldiers, we also released people. There are more than 100,000 people, and there is always something to say. Instead, we recorded the brave deeds among them when they faced the enemy, with officers as the head. The point is. With the deeds of Xia Village and Wu Rui Camp as the core, a public opinion atmosphere is formed that everyone is willing to compare with the Xia Village army. Once their reputation increases, the hostility of these middle-level officers to Wu Rui Camp can be resolved. Next, we absorb They go to the Wu Rui camp. After all, they are the victorious troops. While the organization is still a little chaotic, expand the number of elites."
"Raise the soup to stop the boiling, it is better to draw wages from the bottom of the pot." Qin Siyuan nodded.
"Whether the Wu Rui Camp can be kept, it is hard to say for the time being. But these are the results of the game at the upper level. After all, what should be done must be done. Now it is better to be proactive than passively beaten."
The lights were on at night, and in the room, everyone explained most of the things at hand. Feng Xue whimpered, and when the door of the study room opened and everyone came out one after another, it was already unknown what time it was in the morning. By this time, everyone was staying in the prime minister's residence, Tong Zhiyuan and Hou Wenjing left first, and the others People also said a few words to Qin Siyuan, and went back to the room to rest. When Ning Yi greeted him, Qin Siyuan said: "Liheng wait a moment, there are still a few words to chat with you."
When Yao Zunian left, he exchanged complicated glances with Qin Siyuan. Ji Kun was the last to leave. After that, Qin Siyuan put on a coat and asked his servants to bring one to Ning Yi. The old man took his hand and said: "Sitting for a night, my brain is also boring, go out for a walk." Ning Yi helped him a little, picked up a lantern, and the two walked outside.
Recalling that when the two met in Jiangning, the old man was in good spirits and in good health, not inferior to young people. Later, when they arrived in the capital, even though they had a lot of work, their spirit was excellent. But after this battle of defending the city, he finally needed some support.
The two walked along the corridor, snowflakes falling in the darkness beside them. The snow was not big, and the wind wasn't really strong, but it was still cold. After walking slowly for a while, he arrived at a windless place beside a small garden in Dexiang's Mansion. ?"
"It's fine, there shouldn't be any major sequelae."
"The Qin family has followed literature in all dynasties. He has been good at martial arts since he was a child. He was able to command such a battle. He fought heartily and won. He must be at ease. This, this old man can think of it." Qin Siyuan smiled, then shook his head again. Shaoqian shook his head and looked at a large rockery in front of him, "After Shaoqian joined the army, every time he went home to save his relatives and told me about the restraints in the army, he was filled with righteous indignation. But many things have their reasons, and it is not easy to change them. ... Liheng is clear, right?"
Ning Yi was silent for a moment without speaking.
"This time, I have talked a lot with Nian Gong, and I have had discussions with Qin Sou and Jue Ming, but there are some things that are not easy to get into, otherwise, it will inevitably be embarrassing." Qin Siyuan said in a low voice. He wrote, "A few years ago, they were in charge of military affairs, headed by the Duke of Chu, and then Wang Hao took the lead. When the Jurchen came, they did not dare to go forward, and they lost their face. Yue, Xia Cun, defeated Guo Yaoshi, both are my sons, and I happen to be a civil servant. Therefore, the Duke of Chu stopped talking, Wang Hao and the others all retreated, Cai Jing... He is also afraid of my old age. When things came up, the two men of civil and military backed away. In the end, it is difficult for me to distinguish between public and private matters in Taiyuan, and it is difficult to speak..."
"Taiyuan can't be lost..." In the snowstorm, the old man looked at the shadow of the rockery and murmured.
between the two. Another moment of silence.
"Your Majesty is young and strong. After this battle, you must start to pay attention to military equipment." Ning Yi spoke from the back, he said, "If the Wurui camp in Xia Village is to be disbanded, the key lies in Your Majesty. After the peace talks, please Your Majesty review Xia Village. The army. In the public opinion, this war is a turning point due to His Majesty's wise command and strategizing. His Majesty is the master of ZTE. Emphasis on innovation and progress."
In the wind and snow, his words were not high, simple and calm: "People can control public opinion, and public opinion can also influence people. In terms of His Majesty's character, he is likely to be moved by such public opinion, and his behavior, There is also a pragmatic side. Even if you have suspicions in your heart, you will still want to use your ability, Prime Minister Qin. When His Majesty ascended the throne, you were indeed His Majesty's teacher. If you can persuade His Majesty to be aggressive and enterprising as you did in the past, there may still be a chance now... Because confident and pragmatic people are not afraid of powerful officials.”
Qin Siyuan frowned, then shook his head again: "I never thought about this, but His Majesty is unpredictable now, he... ah..."
The old man sighed. The meaning is complicated, and it may not be Zhou Zhe alone. This matter has nothing to do with debate, what he talked to Ning Yi, what Ning Yi talked to him, Yao Zunian and others may not have thought of it.
Have a moment. Ning Yi said: "I have never dealt with the above, and I don't know how some messed up things came down. I am not sure about these things. But outside the city, I negotiated with the Second Young Master and Wenren. The opportunity to break the game may be here. With Wenzhiwu, the position of the warrior will be suppressed, but it may also be able to ride the wind. Or be like Taishi Cai, a powerful minister for five years and ten years, and the soldiers will stop the water in the future. Come to cover, or, pack up and go home, I'll go south and find a good place to stay."
He paused: "However, Cai Jing's powerful ministers over the past few decades have not touched the root of other people's power. If you want to push the position of a warrior, this is to move the root. Even if there can be a His Majesty in front of him... It will not end well. Ah, old man. Think more about it, I will see more, it is hard for me to say whether this one will follow..."
After a long time, Qin Siyuan raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
The two said a few more words, and soon after, they went to rest, but such a night is destined to be sleepless.
After coming to Bianliang for such a long time, Ning Yi has never really fought against the high-level officials, nor has he really contacted the real dragon at the top. The game at the top, every stupid decision made, and the muddy difficulty that pushes a country forward, it is not that he cannot understand the operation, but every time, it will make him feel angry and difficult. Relatively speaking, He prefers to stay down and watch those who can be manipulated and pushed. Going forward, he always felt that he was back on the old road again.
What exactly was he longing for and looking forward to back then, and then he was confused all the way, whether it was really worth it. What about now? He hasn't determined in his heart that he really wants to do these next things, he just finds a solution through logic and common sense. Up to now, he could only please the emperor, defeat the others, and finally let Qin Siyuan go to the path of a powerful minister. When foreign enemies come one after another, and this country needs a powerful minister to promote military equipment, it may leave a chance for everyone to survive in the cracks due to the special conditions of wartime.
As long as there is a trace of reason above, it will not be a mortal situation.
For the first time in the Wu Dynasty, he quietly fell asleep in such an unstable mood. The matter is too big, even if it is him, there is a kind of mentality to see it step by step, and then think about it and take a look when it becomes more obvious.
The long snowstorm, the huge city, the lights of many people went out quietly, and the carriages came and went lonely in such snow, and there were occasional more noises. It's snowing on. The city is still gray and dull, and people are nervous and anxious, waiting for the news of the peace talks outside the city. On the Golden Palace, the courtiers have already taken their positions and started a new day of confrontation.
Ning Yi went to Fanlou to persuade Li Yun to participate in the activity of collecting other military heroic deeds for Zhuji, which was already scheduled to be done.
On the snowy plain more than ten miles north of the city, the army was still in a chilling confrontation. Li Cha walked into the golden army tent again, facing those terrifying Jurchens, and began a new day of negotiation and suffering.
During the negotiation, Sai Lai bang overturned the negotiating table, and cut his sword in two in front of Li Hao. Li Hao was fighting with each other. He was calm on the surface, but he still lost his blood.
On this day, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion started more activities and operations. Subsequently, the propaganda campaign of Zhuji was also launched inside and outside the city.
Ning Yi has not been able to completely determine what to do next in his mind, and soon after, everything froze in a strange and embarrassing mud... (Please search Piao astronomy, better and faster!
