ps: The new book has achieved bleak results~~ Brothers, please help!

－－－－－－－－－－

When the news of Guan Sheng and Wu Yong's victory reached Ximen Qing, it was already noon the next day. When Ximen Qing learned that both sides had defeated the enemy, Ximen Qing was extremely happy and asked Dai Zong to inform the two sides and let them continue to advance. Ximen Qing also quickly ordered the battalions to advance, and then the army set out and rushed towards Tokyo City.

The army walked for a day. At noon on the third day, Ximen Qing came to a mile outside the north gate of Tokyo. At the same time, Guan Sheng's army stopped at a mile from the west gate, and Wu Yong's army stopped at a mile from the east gate.

Three large troops set up camps and stopped.

In Tokyo, the officials were panicked, while the people were secretly surprised. Because for them, the Liangshan army followed the way of heaven and attacked the rebels was truly orthodox. Zhao Yuntian was a treacherous man who was treasonable, and everyone was punished.

As for Zhao Yunti, he seemed to have turned white overnight, his spirit became much more depressed, and he did not have the domineering spirit of the world before.

In the imperial study room, Cai Jing, Yang Jian, the Minister of War, the Minister of Justice, the Privy Councilor, the Commander of the Imperial Guard gathered together to discuss policies against the enemy. It should be mentioned that because Su Yuanjing was defeated and knew that his crime was unforgivable, he begged Zhao Yunzhen to remove his position and allow him to retire and return home. Zhao Yunzhen knew Su Yuanjing's skills, so he was unwilling to let go. However, Su Yuanjing suddenly developed a serious illness, and the imperial doctors said that he was terminally ill, so he had no choice but to allow Su Yuanjing to retire and return home.

Zhao Yunti glanced at the people in the imperial study room and sighed. Although there were civil servants and generals in this room, civil servants only knew how to read and write lyrics, and military generals only knew how to practice martial arts and train soldiers. Which one was of great use? Can it deal with the 300,000 army attacked by Ximen Qing?

Zhao Yunti was very confused at this time.

I thought that he was a saint of Kunlun when he was young, so he lived under the admiration of everyone. When he was old, he held heavy troops in his hand, attacked Wu's name, killed Fang La, and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. He was a great military achievement. Finally, he became an emperor, above ten thousand people, and fantasized about unifying the world, then expanding territory, and achieving the reputation of the first emperor.

However, the emperor had not been in charge for five months, and Ximen Qing actually led his troops to attack and even attacked the doorstep.

There are so many differences before and after this.

Zhao Yunzhen admitted that he once looked down on the Liangshan army. Because the Liangshan army was all bandits, gathered by the wild grass in the world. Later, he was cowardly and had no loyalty. These things made Zhao Yunzhen look down on Liangshan, thinking that he could easily destroy it as long as he led his troops there. But now, Zhao Yunzhen knew how big his mistakes were. The neglect at that time led to today's regret. Isn't regret it?

"Hey, my dear ministers, Commander Ximen Qing is coming with great momentum. Now he has hit the door. Do you have any plans to fight the enemy?" Zhao Yuntian asked.

The people below lowered their heads down, glanced at each other, and then they became even more at the bottom.

After a long silence, Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, the attack of Ximen Qing's army is unstoppable. In addition, the day before yesterday, there are shortages of soldiers in the capital, and there are only 170,000 to 180,000 soldiers available, which is difficult to resist the Liangshan soldiers' attack. Therefore, I think that the most urgent task is to delay Ximen Qing, and then use other forces to deal with Ximen Qing!"

"Taking other forces?" Zhao Yunzhen was stunned and asked in a suspicion.

Cai Jing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, other rebel forces are no longer threats. The biggest threat now is Ximen Qing! The most urgent task now is to eliminate Ximen Qing. So Your Majesty, we can win over those rebel forces, form alliances with them, and jointly deal with Ximen Qing. As long as we kill Ximen Qing, your Majesty can still rule the world and eliminate those jumping forces one by one!"

Zhao Yunzhen said: "That's it...oh, if I do that, will my face be lost? Besides, are those forces willing to help us fight against Ximen Qing? You know, Ximen Qing has become a tiger now!"

Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, it's not time to worry about face or not. If the capital is lost, then you can't help you with face. Your Majesty, as long as we know it for profit, those forces will definitely flock to help us, and the heads of those forces are not stupid. They know that as long as Ximen Qing takes over Tokyo City, they will be the one who will suffer next!"

Zhao Yunzhen sighed and said, "That's all! Look at the Grand Master, who should I win over among these forces first?"

Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, there are more than a dozen rebel forces in the Song Dynasty, including Tang Tianheng's Tang army and Jiang Jiu in Jiangzhou Prefecture. Other rebel forces are too weak. Jiang Jiu's forces occupy Jiangzhou, mainly naval troops, and are far away from Tokyo, so they can't quench them in the distance. Tang Tianheng's Tang army is in Hebei, close to Liangshan Shuibo, which is Ximen Qing's base camp. At this time, Ximen Qing's attack will definitely be empty, so Your Majesty can win over Tang Tianheng's Tang army and give him some benefits to let him attack Liangshan Shuibo. Tsk, as long as Liangshan Shuibo is captured, kill all the families of Ximen Qing and others, and then expose their bodies to the sun for three days. Haha, will the Liangshan army still have the intention to attack the city? At that time, the Liangshan army will disperse if it does not attack, and it will become a piece of loose sand..."

When Zhao Yunzhen heard this, his eyes lit up, then slapped the table and shouted: "This plan is very good. It is enough to remove the firewood from the cauldron, which is enough to make Ximen Qing feel unhappy. But it is impossible to send someone to find Tang Tianheng to have a friend for more than half a month. In most half a month, it is enough to allow Ximen Qing to lead his troops to capture Tokyo City!"

Cai Jing said: "So Your Majesty needs peace talks, and to negotiate with Ximen Qing to delay time. You can even issue an imperial edict to appoint Ximen Qing as the king of a different surname. As long as you can delay him, you will be victorious!"

Zhao Yuntian nodded and said, "Then we can only do this..."

--------------

On the second day, Ximen Qing was discussing a plan to siege in the tent. At this time, Song Jiang and Wu Yong were all in the tent. However, just before everyone had discussed, Yue Fei rushed over.

Yue Fei said: "Commander, the Tokyo gate has just opened, and three people came out of it, saying that Zhao Yunti sent them to discuss with you!"

"What, peace talks?" Many leaders were stunned.

But Ximen Qing and Song Jiang and Wu Yong looked at each other and realized what they had in their hearts.

Ximen Qing waved his hand and said to Yue Fei: "Go and bring them in."

"Yes, commander!" Yue Fei responded, and then hurriedly retreated. After Yue Fei left, Lin Chong asked, "Commander, what does Zhao Yunzhen mean? Talk about peace? No, can he give up the throne of the emperor and be willing to give it to us!"

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "The throne is a good thing. Zhao Yunzhen is very nervous. How could he give it to me!"

Wu Yong smiled and said, "The throne is impossible, but it is very likely when he is given a king and a title!"

"What does it mean?" everyone asked in unison.

Song Jiang said: "Zhao Yunzhen knew that he was not the opponent of the commander, and knew that it was only a matter of time before the Liangshan army was captured. Therefore, Zhao Yunzhen took the initiative to seek peace, thinking of granting the title of commander, or even a king of different surnames, so that the commander would withdraw his troops!"

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "It's OK to be the king! We are now coming to attack Zhao Yunzhen on the pretext of destroying the thieves. If Zhao Yunzhen is destroyed and seize the world, then I have no excuse to be the emperor because I am a minister. But if he is appointed as the king of the king, the meaning will be different. If Zhao Yunzhen really confers me as the king of another surname, then no matter how conspired he is, he has to go ahead!"

Wu Yong nodded and added: "It is certain that there is a conspiracy, but it is more likely that Zhao Yunzhen's plan to delay time!"

Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Okay, what is Zhao Yunti's idea? Let's wait and see!"

Everyone nodded.

After a while, Yue Fei led three officials sent by Zhao Yunzhen into the tent.

The three of them entered the camp and hurriedly knelt down, their voice trembling slightly, and they said, "Please pay homage to Lord Pioneer!"

At this time, Ximen Qing was still the pioneer envoy of the Liao Dynasty. After all, he was also a deputy third-rank official, and he was still a working official.

Ximen Qing waved his hand and asked, "What did Zhao Yunti send you here?"

The three of them looked at each other, and the middle-aged man in the middle took out the imperial edict from his arms and said, "Go back to Pioneer, Your Majesty knows that you have come back from the Liao Dynasty and have been running all the way. He sent a special official to come to express condolences and told him that Your Majesty is ready to reward the great master for the Liao Dynasty. He has been preparing these days. I hope you don't worry, and you can just station the army outside the city first!"

"Oh, I'm going to give me a reward!" Ximen Qing opened the imperial edict and browsed it, then smiled, and then said: "Go back and tell Zhao Yunzhen that I, Ximen Qing, are easy to deal with, gold, silver, and jewelry. Of course, just forget about the title, just be the king."

The middle-aged man's face was covered with sweat.

He bowed and said, "Mr. Pioneer, I will report it to Your Majesty!"

Ximen smiled and said, "Okay, you go!"

"Goodbye to my subordinates!" The middle-aged man bowed his hand and hurriedly left with his two followers.

After waiting for someone to leave, Lin Chong smiled and said, "It's really here to seek peace!"

Wu Yong said: "I think Zhao Yunti is delaying time."

"Scholar, why did Zhao Yuntian delay time? What conspiracy does he have?" Wu Song asked.

Wu Yong stroked his beard, smiled and said, "Zhao Yunzhen knew that the capital could not defend our attack, so he was delaying the time and waiting for the opportunity to defeat us in one fell swoop!"

Li Kui shouted, "How is that possible! As long as this bird man dares to summon troops, grandpa will kill them all with an axe! Let them know how powerful grandpa is, hum!"

Lin Chong glared at Li Kui and asked, "Scholar, what opportunity do you think Zhao Yunti is waiting for?"

Wu Yong frowned, shook his head, and said, "You suddenly thought about it, I can't guess it either. But it must be a sinister plan. I was thinking about it after returning to the account in the evening. Commander, should you tell me your plan? Should I send troops directly, or delay a few days to see Zhao Yuntian's conspiracy?"

Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Let's take a look at Zhao Yunzhen's conspiracy first! If he can really be named a king, it's best. But if he is really named a king, the process will not be simple, haha, let's take a look..."

Then the leaders returned to the tent to rest.
