The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 521
"Report to Commander-in-Chief, the Liao envoy has come to see you!"

Zhao Gou nodded and let the man come in.In fact, the Liao envoy originally planned to enter Bianjing to meet Song Huizong and hand it over to the emperor.However, Song Huizong directly threw it to Zhao Gou.

"I don't accept the orders of the generals, so let them go to see His Royal Highness! As long as it is the meaning of the king, it is also what I mean."

Song Huizong threw the ball directly to Zhao Gou. He knew that Zhao Gou was fighting on the front line.If they really met the Liao envoy, if the Jurchens knew about this, they would have an excuse to attack the Song Dynasty.

Song Huizong heard that the Liao envoy had come to seek peace.In fact, Song Huizong also considered this matter before deciding.

If it wasn't for the great victory of the Song army and the overwhelming pressure of the Jin army, how could the Khitan have made such a decision.Once upon a time, in the Song and Liao countries, the Liao had the upper hand, and the Song Dynasty was at a disadvantage.

Song Huizong was very happy when he thought of this.Moreover, the ministers of the DPRK and China kept silent, and they were also very proud of such things, all of which were brought by Zhao Gou.

If Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty really received the interview, the ministers of the court and the old-fashioned people would definitely choose to agree to this condition, and there would be another debate at that time.Song Huizong now only wants to give Zhao Gou the greatest support, that is, the stability of the court.

"Brother Huang, I didn't expect you to choose not to meet!" Zhao Si sighed sincerely, he didn't expect such a result.

Originally, the Liao envoy came to cede land to seek peace, but this matter seems to have more advantages than disadvantages.In fact, this was Liao's scheme, and Zhao seemed to be a little worried. He never thought that Song Huizong would directly shut him down and refuse to meet him.

"Chaozhong finally stabilized. If we meet, it will be even more troublesome. It's better not to meet!" Song Huizong smiled lightly and said, "It's almost winter now, and I don't know what's going on with Gou'er ahead!"

Zhao Si smiled slightly and said, "They must be able to adapt, so don't worry about it!"

So, Song Huizong and Zhao Si began to taste wine and drink together.As for the meeting with the Liao envoy, all the matters were handed over to Zhao Gou.

Whether it is a promise or a rejection, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the day has finally come with pride.

Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty ordered Zhao Gou to handle it by himself, so the Liao envoy came to ask for an interview, and Zhao Gou readily agreed.

"I've seen the commander in chief!" The Liao envoy saluted respectfully.

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "May I ask what your official position is?"

"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, my subordinate is Du Linya Xiaojun in the north, who is in charge of Wenhan's affairs." The Liao envoy replied respectfully, he was very nervous.

Zhao Gou was not angry and arrogant, although he was young, but his aura was too great.Moreover, all the murderous generals were sitting around, which made him feel like a civil servant.

It is rumored that the head coach of the Song Army is a young man, and in his opinion, it should be easy to deal with.However, only after meeting him did he realize that this was not the case at all. The smile on his face seemed to be a warm spring breeze, but in fact he was very majestic and calm.

Xiao Jun thought secretly: "I'm afraid I have a heavy burden this time!"

"I don't know what's important for Mr. Xiao to come here?" Zhao Gou said indifferently, his sharp eyes surprised Xiao Jun.

He hurriedly replied: "Commander back, I am here today because of the order of His Majesty the current emperor, and I came here to ask for peace. I also hope that the commander-in-chief will temporarily stop the army on the premise that the relationship between Song and Liao has been harmonious for many years, lest The people of the two countries are suffering from the war."

Zhao Gou didn't answer, he took the peace petition and read it carefully.It is clearly stated above that as long as the Song army strikes down and stops attacking, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will also be used as the basis for this peace talk, and will be given to Song unconditionally, and all the troops stationed in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will also withdraw. When you arrive in the capital, you will never think about it.

"Your majesty really promised to return the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Gou said simply and directly, looking at Xiao Jun intently, waiting for his answer.

Xiao Jun said solemnly: "It is absolutely true, this is the imperial decree issued by the emperor himself, there will be no deception."

"The commander-in-chief's attack on the Yanyun sixteen prefectures is nothing more than wanting to obtain the Yanyun sixteen prefectures. I know the commander-in-chief's intentions, and the relationship between the two countries is in mind, so I will fulfill the commander-in-chief's wish."

"The emperor is sympathetic to the people, and he doesn't want to see the soldiers of the two countries meet each other. As long as the general agrees, I will decree to the emperor to return the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to the Song Dynasty. There will be no delay."

"Ha ha!……"

Zhao Gou looked up to the sky and laughed loudly as if he had heard a huge joke, looked directly at Xiao Jun, and said loudly: "Now nearly half of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are in my hands. It is no longer from the Liao Dynasty, but from the prefectures and counties of our Great Song Dynasty."

"As for the cession of land for peace, in my opinion, this is a joke. Our army has already occupied Nanjing City and is in the center, and the other places in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are also close at hand. Your emperor actually asked us to stop attacking temporarily. , the rest of the troops will not attack."

"Do you think it's possible? The arrow has been put on the bowstring and shot halfway, do you think it makes sense to take it back?" Zhao Gou glanced at Xiao Jun, and said firmly: "If you want our army to retreat, it is a fantasy , absolutely impossible!"

"Do you know how many people were lost in our army because of this great war? Some of our brotherly brothers died in the battle. If we retreat and don't attack, how can I see them and what is my conscience?"

"If our army hadn't captured Nanjing City, occupying half of the territory of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and you were fighting with Jin soldiers, you would have no time to take care of this place. I am afraid that our army would need to pay a higher price to occupy it. Now, you In the battle with the Jin soldiers, they were retreating steadily, and it seemed that they could not hold on, if it were not for the support of a few generals who can do great things, your emperor alone would have already ruined the country and family!"

"We used to pay tribute to you, but now I want to tell you that it is all in the past tense. I, Zhao Gou, will take back what was lost at the beginning!"

Zhao Gou's sonorous and powerful words attacked everyone's hearts, and also hit Xiao Jun's heart heavily, making his heart tremble. Soldiers can't do it.

At this moment, Xiao Jun's face was pale, and his heart was ashamed.

Then Zhao Gou said again: "Do you know why I met you?"

Xiao Jun shook his head and didn't know, he really didn't know.I thought there was still hope, but I didn't expect such a result.

Zhao Gou said loudly: "Because I want you to bring a word to your emperor, tell him that the Yanyun Sixteen States have been lost, and now it will gradually become the territory of our dynasty, and no one can change it. The road back to the Central Plains."

At this moment, Zhao Gou was full of vigor and radiance, and the light in his eyes shocked everyone, like a stormy sea, making everyone more determined to regain their lost ground, Yanyun Sixteen States is not far away.
