Chapter 202 Peace talks

The envoys of the fast horses had already been released. They sent the Song envoy to the Northwest Army Road and the Northwest Army Road to the Xixia side to discuss the schedule of peace. The schedule can be discussed, but Ouyang wrote the Civilization statement, Ouyang's location was final, and the court only gave this deadline. The letter was sent to Li Ganshun. Although the tone was still respectful, the spokesperson saw the impatient and Ju Ao tone in the letter.

Ouyang made a high-profile attitude from the beginning and ordered the delegation not to hurry and stop when they arrived in the state. Ouyang's attitude of trying to provoke the war was soon impeached by Zhao Yu. He said that Ouyang had lost the sacred sacred sect, etc., and Zhao Yu laughed it off. She knew that Ouyang's motive for delaying time would not be so simple, so she didn't care. She cared that she had set the rules for re-opening the war for two months. Regardless of Ouyang's success or not, the Western Xia soldiers and the Xixia Kingdom name would become history this year.

Zhu Da has become the exclusive guard captain of Ouyang when he was an imperial envoy, including the offensive and defensive war in the county, the Yuzhou war, and the Xixia peace talks. He knows Ouyang's living habits well. Zhu Da is in the imperial guards and is under the internal guards. This is an important means for the Ouwang to master Tokyo's security. In the Tokyo imperial guards, they usually train with the imperial guards, and there is no difference between being punished. The difference is that the salary is relatively high, and they are in charge of the troops they govern and are loyal to Zhao Yu.

Spending the night in a certain county, Ouyang invited Zhu Da to drink with him. Although Zhu Da's alcoholism was better than Ouyang, his small moves were definitely inferior to Ouyang, so Zhu Da was drunk. Some people like to sleep when they were drunk, some people like to cry, some people like to laugh, and some people like to dance. Zhu Da is a person who talks more when he drinks more.

"The best martial arts skills?" Zhu Da shook his head and said, "The best martial arts skills of the Tokyo Imperial Army should be three, two, and one. Do you know what 3,2, and one is? Let me tell you, three is Jin San. Two is Zhao Lao 2, one is a bamboo pole. It's strange, why is it a bamboo pole? Jin San, yes, is the bird man who doesn't have any birds, and one day he fought with Lao 2 because of Xiao Cui. Jin San said Xiao Cui was his fellow villager, and Lao 2 said Xiao Cui was his relationship with him. So he pinched it in Chunfeng Pavilion. He first used his fist, then used a bench, and finally drew his sword to chop it. He went upstairs, from downstairs to the streets, from the streets to... and to the City God Temple at the East Gate. Lao 2 was beaten up, and he threw his knife and picked up a bamboo pole and Jin San. I was stunned at the time. When the bamboo pole played every stab, every move was a killer move, and every move was towards Jin San's vital point. As soon as he talked about it, after brushing, one of them went straight through and turned into two holes. Lao 2 was so cruel that we were ruthless. Fortunately, we saw that someone was going to die when we were about to stop him. Lao 2 also asked Jin San at that time: Do you know if the gun is the king of hundreds of soldiers?"

Ouyang asked casually: "How is Jin San?"

"I would say that our brothers usually don't like Kim Son, but they were very manly at that time. Kim Son was injured and fisted and said, "I admit defeat. But I will beat you sooner or later." Then he made an appointment with Lao 2 to get once a month. Who is Lao 2? Lao's first shot king, playing with him is equivalent to seeking death. He started practicing guns since he was three years old, and he has been practicing for thirty years. Every time he competes, Kim Son comes back in blood."

Ouyang nodded and asked, "Who is Xiao Cui?"

"Tsk, a *. ** is very straight, with a little dark face and thick hands and feet. You can only gang up the kilns. Even if there are some positions in the imperial guards, you will go to the lowest-class old man. Why? It's cheap, I heard from my brother that I can rank in the top three on the Chunfeng Pavilion bed." Zhu Daling asked for a while, "Where did you just talk about it?"

"When it comes to Jin San's bloody back."

"By the way, it's not bad to say that Jin San is. He has really not used to using guns, so he works hard on the knife. Although he basically loses compared to Lao 2, he must be the best player in Tokyo to use swords. This kid has no squad, and the knife is fast, ruthless, accurate and stable. If you cut one of his arms, he can cut off your head."

It seemed that he had said almost the same thing. Ouyang went out and greeted him. Two imperial guards came in at the door and helped Zhu Da who was still talking. One imperial guard apologized: "Sir, don't be surprised. General Zhu is very good at talking as soon as he drank. The next day when he said something, he didn't know anything. He said we falsely accused him."

"It seems that General Zhu's wine is not very good." Ouyang smiled and said, "It's okay, General Zhu and I are not outsiders. Take good care of us."

"yes"

...

Ouyang could only keep this matter in his heart. Since the object of suspicion was the first wave of Ss in the Song Dynasty, the number of trustworthy people around him was greatly reduced. He was a friend of master and servant, Zhan Ming was a friend of close friends, and Huilan was a friend of kindness. In addition to these three people, Ouyang would rather trust his business partners Su Qian and Zhou An than trust others.

I stopped and walked all the way, and finally arrived at Wuming County in the Hexi Corridor in the last month of the deadline. It is said that Wuming County was temporarily established because of the county town after the reopening of the war in the Song Dynasty. One purpose was to gather the soldiers and civilians near the Hexi Corridor, and the second purpose was to serve as a logistics supply point for the front army. It can also be said to be a military city with more soldiers than civilians.

Han Shizhong sent someone with the magistrate to welcome the imperial guards ten miles away. Ouyang was happy when he saw the magistrate. Isn’t this one of Han Shizhong’s personal soldiers who could write his own name? This is too much. However, it can also be seen that the chance of literacy is much greater than that of illiteracy. The military has not very high requirements for literacy. According to the Anti-Japanese War of the Republic of China, as long as the government forces abandoned their studies and joined the army, they were mostly second lieutenants. From this point of view, even nearly a thousand years later, China’s education level was still very low.

The magistrate will report to the court at that time. If a local magistrate wins a battle, a local magistrate who is familiar with the local area will be much more useful than the sour Confucian sent by the central government. What's more, after occupying all the territory of the Western Xia, there will be more and less. Or even Confucian civil servants support the war.

After the ceremony, he entered Wuming County. Han Shizhong was not here, but in a big tent two hundred miles away. According to the strategy, his main force had two strategic purposes: one was to siege the city and attack the aid, killing all the troops leaving the city and the troops supporting Xingqing Prefecture. The second purpose was to support the East Yongxing Army Road and the Liu Qi headquarters in the west. As long as he defended this strategy, the other two routes could attack and retreat or defend, and the whole thing would be alive.

The biggest advantage of strategic arrangement is that it is not to decide the outcome based on one or several battles. For example, in the Battle of Hubugangda against Jin, the Liao people wasted their absolute advantage in military strength and logistics, and did not have a clear strategy, but were focused on finding the main force of the Jin Dynasty to fight, and did not fully estimate the follow-up methods for the failure of the war.

Facing the style of fighting, weapons, morale, and logistics, the people of Xixia knew that unless the Song Dynasty was in a civil turmoil, the defeat of Xixia was determined. As for the iron kite, there were monsters and monsters in front of the firearms.

Wuming County entered a possible war zone a hundred miles north. The imperial guards with hundreds of people were just a drop in the ocean for the war. The Korean troops left 5,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 infantry led by a general to protect the imperial guards.

...

After a hundred miles, you can vaguely see the city walls of Xingqing Prefecture when you climb up. Ouyang changed the negotiation location and continued to advance. It was not until thirty miles of Xingqing Prefecture that Song Chongjun gathered several villages. Han Shizhong heard this and hurriedly ordered the big tent to move towards Ouyang's location.

There were about twenty days left before the deadline, and the first letter written by Ouyang was sent to Xingqing Prefecture. Li Ganshun was furious when he read it. The Song bullied Xixia and he actually set the negotiation location in a deserted town twenty miles away from Xingqing Prefecture. What is this? This is called the alliance under the city. This is a humiliation. But what can it do if you get angry? Tens of thousands of Song troops in the west are invincible, and the generals are Liu Qi, who was in the Western Xia people, who were tempted by the news. The 130,000 central army hoarded the Xingqing Prefecture. If it had been changed half a year ago, you could still try it, but now the war horses are almost eaten up, how can you fight with others?

Furthermore, Ouyang is a famous infiltration master. If you are careful, tomorrow there will be a fire in Xingqing Mansion and everyone will rebel. Hold on and watch it, fortunately, the following words are still relatively polite. He said that the two countries have been friendly for generations, and in the spirit of discussing things, he hopes that Xixia will send people out of the city to negotiate with sincerity.

...

The first negotiation, Li Huan vs. Ouyang

Li Huan said: "Everything is the most important thing."

Ouyang asked: "How expensive?"

Li Huan replied: "Priceless"

Ouyang took out a stack of silver notes and smashed them on the table: "Who, ten thousand coins, come and hang out with me."

He was instructed to step forward and check in and bowed: "Sir Ou, a little Qian Qi."

"Yeah, go back." Ouyang swept his head and asked, "How expensive?"

"You're bullying too much." Li Huan gritted his teeth.

Ouyang pointed behind him and said, "I brought twenty people, which were cheaper, five thousand each. You brought thirty people, ten thousand each. We bet whether you can buy all my people in Xixia, or whether I, Ouyang, can sweep away all of you. Boy, there are few people in the world who dare to tell me Ouyang that it is expensive."

Zhang San said, "General Li, my elders can transfer ten million yuan of money for a letter. Usually, they are not afraid of people saying it is expensive."

Ouyang said: "It's not that I'm bragging to you, and I don't have to take action in the Song Dynasty. My assets alone can be destroyed by Xixia forever. So I don't like to listen to everything and be the most important thing. If you take out the rules, I will do it if it's good, and I won't do it if it's not good. Simple and clear."

"What do you want?" Li Huan finally softly said.

"What's the hurry?" Ouyang said: "Since we are old friends, we are destined to have a drink together. Come and have a drink."

Li Huan bit his lower lip and drank a sip of wine, put the bowl and said, "It can be said that it's serious."

"I have checked that although you are a royal family, you are only a second-rank official in Xixia, with a monthly salary of 200 guan." Ouyang took out a piece of paper and said, "There is a share transfer letter here. If you are willing to come here, you will be at least 1,000 guan per month."

"You dream." Li Huan was insulted and furious.

Ouyang took another piece of paper: "Distribute dividends of 3,000 guan a month, 100 acres of fertile land, and two sets of Tokyo houses."

"you……"

Ouyang took out another piece of paper: "Added to be a Hanlin Grand Secretary, and he was appointed as the second-rank official."

"I..." Li Huan swallowed his saliva, pulled his fist and shouted: "Let's go"

When Zhang San saw the envoy of Xixia walking away, he asked in a low voice: "Sir, what does this mean?"

Ouyang tore off a few pieces of paper and said, "It's a false accusation, what else can it mean? Anyway, Xiao Xiami, who can't do this, will not get any benefits after talking. It's better to make them suspicious of the king and his ministers. No matter how wise Li Ganshun is, he dare not completely disbelief at this time. You must know that Li Huan is a truly powerful general."

That night, the imperial guards received detailed news that Li Huan and his son were under house arrest.
