Chapter 24 War without Gunpowder is Quiet

Although Zhong Shidao successfully attacked the camp, he was very afraid that he would not be able to hold on until the Jin soldiers retreated. There was such a strong voice in the court. He was also afraid that the new emperor would really choose to negotiate peace. The purpose of the Jin soldiers was definitely not something that could be paid by some money.

"Don't worry, Young Master Zhong, I know the importance. Even if I don't know, I can ask Chen Cong Li Gang and others. I can handle the current situation." Zhao Huan replied.

"Your Majesty, the Jin people want to send envoys to the city to negotiate. The person coming was Yuwen Xuzhong." Chen Cong said.

Chen Cong's mood for Yuwen Xuzhong was so complicated. If he hadn't known his potential identity, this person could only vent his hatred in his heart if he had to cut him into pieces.

Unfortunately, this person has been in contact with him for three years, and he clearly knows Yuwen Xuzhong's character.

Yuwen Xuzhong? Another historical celebrity he didn't know about? Zhao Huan was stunned.

[Yuwen Xuzhong: Former Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall of the Song Dynasty, signed the Privy Council. He went to the Jin Kingdom seven years ago to discuss the matter of the maritime alliance. He was detained by the Jin Ting. Because of his excellent eloquence, he was well-known for his writing. He was appreciated by Jin Taizu and was named the Minister of Rites. Later, when the Song Court redeemed the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, he purchased five princesses (princesses) of the Song Court for the price of 500 gold ingots to enjoy the money owner. In the past seven years, he killed 17 envoys of the Song Court, who were debauchery and arrogant, and notorious.]

Yes, another traitor... Zhao Huan's brain is so painful. How could the Song court have produced some traitors?

But before Zhao Huan finished sighing, another line of small words appeared, which made him stunned!

[He was a spy from the Song court, and he passed on information to the Song court many times. He participated in the fifteen attacks and killing relatives of the Jin Dynasty, and repeatedly killed rebel generals and ministers of the Song court. Everyone who killed the Song court envoy deserved death, and his crime was too numerous to be written! He was appointed as the supervisor of the Imperial City Department and did many righteous things.]

Is the infernal Affairs? The relationship between Yuwen Xuzhong is actually a spy! Zhao Huan looked at Yuwen Xuzhong's information enthusiastically and frowned occasionally.

Yuwen Xuzhong's career in Jinting was not as glorious as it was on the surface, and both were all-round.

In fact, he had been suspected of his identity many times by Jin Ting, but he was cleverly resolved by Yuwen Xuzhong. However, this suspicion was still intensifying.

This time he went south, he actually followed the army and returned to the Song court to act as an envoy to negotiate in the Song Dynasty.

The temptation of the Jin people is extremely strong!

Yuwen Xuzhong has a wife, a concubine and a son in Jin State. If he is really a traitor, the fate of these two women and children can be imagined.

Not easy!

Zhao Huan thought with emotion that the career of this spy was far from what he thought, and life could be in danger anytime and anywhere.

"Yuwen Xuzhong is..." Chen looked at the palace maids and eunuchs from left and right, and chose not to talk about Yuwen Xuzhong's true identity.

Chen Cong paused for a moment before continuing, "I was the top scholar of the Song Dynasty. The Supreme Emperor was so kind to him. Unexpectedly, he praised the Jin Dynasty before he even arrived at the Jin Dynasty. He surrendered directly to the Jin Dynasty. He is actually a criminal of the country! His crime should be punished!"

However, Zhao Huan saw Chen Cong's name from Yuwen Xuzhong's personal information and knew that Yuwen Xuzhong was in contact with the previous commander.

Judging from Chen Cong's reaction, the palace is probably not clean.

"I have discussed military and national affairs with Commander Shen. You should retreat for the time being." Zhao Huan saw Chen Cong's desire to speak but stopped, so he asked the palace maid and eunuch who was standing on the side to wash up and retreat, leaving only Zhao Ying by his side.

When the palace maids and others retreated, Zhao Huan looked at Chen Cong and said, "I already know what happened to Yuwen Xuzhong. Being a pillar of the real country and acting with such a stigma is also a embarrassment!"

Chen Cong lowered his head, but his face was full of doubts. Could something go wrong with Yuwen Xuzhong's single-line contact with him?

"Yuwen Xuzhong is a loyal minister! Your Majesty, please give him the position of Supervisor of the Imperial City Office." Chen Cong knelt directly on the ground.

Although I don’t know how the new emperor knew such a hidden person, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that the emperor already knew this person in Yuwen Xuzhong.

The necessary official titles of Yuwen Xuzhong must be requested. This is what is worthy of Yuwen Xuzhong's efforts in the Jin Kingdom over the years.

"During the sea alliance, Yuwen Xuzhong found the bottom line of the king of Jin and spread the Song envoys, so that the Song envoys could be at ease during the negotiations. Only this one could be granted the title of Duke." Of course, Chen Cong had a contribution.

"At midnight yesterday, we planned to assassinate the traitors of the Song Dynasty, Guo Yaoshi, Liu Yanzong, Wanyan Jiemu, and Wanyan Xiyin. Three people were killed and one person was injured."

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "These meritorious ministers naturally need to be rewarded. What else can I say together."

Chen Cong shook his head and said, "I have many correspondences with Master Yuwen. He has nothing to ask for, but he only wants to be the supervisor of the Imperial City Office of the Jin Kingdom. Doing things means taking the name of great righteousness."

"I have a request. Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Yuwen has an old mother who is over fifty years old and has no son. He lives in a very poor life. I ask Your Majesty to move his mother into the capital and treat him well. On the one hand, he can take care of his daily life, and on the other hand, he can involve Yuwen Xuzhong and prevent him from swaying from the east and west."

Chen Cong thought about this passage for a long time and found a reason to involve Yu Wenxu, hoping to get the grace of the new emperor. This seemingly far-fetched reason is Chen Cong's greatest right.

Chazi is often involved in news, and it is inevitable that someone will buy it. Controlling his family is one of the important means to control Chazi. Of course, taking Yuwen Xuzhong's old mother into the capital was completely in the care of her friends.

The Song Dynasty court did not support this entry, so it was very difficult to find a reason in the rules.

When Zhao Huan heard this unforgiving request, he also lamented that this loyal minister was just easy to fool and took care of an old man, and even came up with a reason that he would not be on the table.

He nodded and said, "All the envoys can be counted as the treasury."

"Thank you Your Majesty." Chen Cong said excitedly. From then on, Yuwen Xuzhong acted in the Jin Kingdom no longer as a wild fox Zen, but as an instructor from the Song Dynasty.

Whether or not a great righteous person is extremely important for Yuwen Xuzhong! While making things easier for Yuwen Xuzhong to act, it is more important to fulfill his wishes.

"Repay! Your Majesty, the Jin soldiers gathered, and the soldiers were mobilized under the city, insulting the Song Dynasty! The commander of the military commander Yao Guzhong requested to go out to fight and kill the enemy!" A personal person ran to the front of the imperial court and submitted a letter of war.

[I heard that Song Ting changed his master and came to congratulate him. I wonder if the young master dared to go out of the city and talk to him. I must sweep the bed to greet him.]

Sorry, I won't be a staple.

He also swept the bed to greet him, whoever goes is a fool! Zhao Huan complained about this war book, which looked more like a letter written by a civil servant, rather than something a military general could say.

"Officials, it's better to respond to this kind of war letter." Zhong Shidao suddenly said that before the battle formation, the war letter responded to it, which was a process that has been held since the Han Dynasty. It was regarded as a sneak attack without declaration.

Of course, this way of declaring war in the war letter has long been a formality, but without a response, it seems stingy.

Zhao Huan thought for a while and said, "Zhao Ying, bring a pen."

【Don't dare】

He wrote two words, without any abuse, no extra words, no deep meaning, which meant that he expressed his inner thoughts.

It turns out that Song Qinzong's body has become an instinct, his calligraphy skills are profound and his calligraphy is very beautiful.

Chen Cong took the war letter commented by Zhao Huan. He thought about Zhao Huan's various reactions, but he didn't expect that the response of these two words made him a little confused.

Zhong Shidao looked at it and gave it to the waiting personal servant, saying, "Do you still need to modify it? If you don't modify it, send it to Wanyan Zongwang."

The reason why he didn't comment was that at this time, everything he said was useless, and strength was the king.

Although a lot of Han thieves had dispersed after the night attack, there were still tens of thousands of people, but the scouts did not send the accurate news.

"Your Majesty, Li Gang, the commander of the Four Walls, requested an audience." Another personal servant ran in and said panting, his face full of panic.

"Your Majesty, the Chenzhou Gate is broken!" Li Gang rushed in without waiting for summoning him. As soon as he came in, he rushed to the ground and said with a trembling voice.

Zhao Huan stood up suddenly, and Master Zhong looked as if he was ashes. Even Chen Congdu, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and said to his relatives who were lying on the ground: "Now escort Your Majesty out of the city immediately and go to Yinglong Mansion!"

He continued to speak quickly: "Immediately go to the arsenal to get the armor and wind it up, carry a small amount of supplies, bring enough dry food for half a month, and a substitute I found a few days ago, come together!"

"Your Majesty, please move to Yinglong Mansion to avoid the disaster of gold!"

Zhao Huan's hands were a little shaking. Are you going to die? But the prompt he saw was that it would be destroyed in 217 days!

[The estimated time of destruction of the Song Dynasty: 217 days.]
