Chapter 727 Congratulations to Dao Ye and Wang Ye for Becoming Brother-in-Law
At this time, the generals faintly understood why he would break his promise and not join hands with Song to attack Yan. He was afraid that he had a plan long ago.
However, it can be confirmed now that Song Guo and South Korea made an appointment to send troops, but the result was caused by South Korea's refusing to move. It must have something to do with this stable Sima. Wu Gongling's tossing and making Song Guo take the first shot has something to do with this.
The first general raised doubts: "Grand Sima, Meng Shanming is determined to solve Wugongling. When the troops retreated, they crossed the river all the way and crossed the river all the way. The soldiers divided into two groups to outflank and march into Binzhou. Wugongling may be in danger."
A smile appeared on the corner of Jin Jue's mouth, mysterious and modest, "Everyone is worried about why I am still gathering heavy troops on the border of Yan State. I am worried that I have decided to attack Song Dynasty, why don't I mobilize troops and horses to prepare first?"
Turning his gaze back to the map, he tapped the location of Binzhou with his fingers, "It is for the purpose of stabilizing Wu Gongling, if Meng Shanming doesn't move for a while, let him go. If he wants to move, our army will immediately launch a full-scale feint attack on Yan State, and then Meng Shanming will solve the problem." Is the hidden danger of Wugongling important, or is it important to stop our Korean army from invading?"
The generals suddenly realized again, and someone clapped their hands and praised: "That's right, Meng Shanming will definitely not be able to attend to Wugongling at that time, and the troops must rush across the river north to support Beizhou."
Jin Jue nodded: "Bring Wu Gongling to Binzhou, his life and death are in my hands! Be obedient, and I will help him get through this calamity! If you don't listen, I will immediately withdraw troops from the border to relieve the pressure on Yan. With no worries, Meng Shanming must first get rid of his future troubles. If Wu Gongling wants to live well, he must listen to me, Han, and if I let him attack Song, he has to attack Song, and he has no choice!"
Everyone thought about it carefully, and it was really the case. They couldn't help but look at each other, and began to reflect on themselves, whether they misunderstood this person before.
Jin Jue turned to face the crowd, and reminded with a straight face: "I know that you all have the heart to make contributions. However, no matter how strong the national power is, it cannot withstand the repeated toss of war. What consumes is its own national power. The confrontation between the two countries does not necessarily have to be in the The outcome is determined on the battlefield, if it is absolutely necessary, it is not advisable to start a war rashly, the best policy is to surrender without fighting!"
The generals were silent, and Jin Jue sighed secretly when he saw this, wondering if these people could listen.
...
What was supposed to come finally came, and Luo Zhao's men and horses who had rushed to Yanjing for a long distance finally arrived at the riverside of the Eastern Region.
Being harassed by Nanzhou iron cavalry along the way, the loss of Luo Zhao's troops was neither big nor small. He actually lost nearly 100,000 people, and the morale of the army was exhausted.
The Nanzhou iron cavalry also suffered losses. It is impossible to have no losses along the way. Those who died in battle, the horses were injured, and the disease, etc., lost more than 10,000 people!
However, this was a price that had to be paid. Because of their tossing, the soldiers of the Song Kingdom could not let go of their retreat, and they dragged the retreating troops of the Song Kingdom on the road for at least ten days. For two to three million people, the consumption of food and grass for ten days is not a small amount.
To some extent, it is even a fatal key!
As for the Jiang Song State in the Eastern Region, the troops from the State of Yan led by Meng Shanming had arrived in advance, and they were ready to guard the defense of the river, making it impossible for the Song army to easily cross.
Luo Zhao was very anxious, facing the crisis of food shortage, and knowing that the other party had already cleared the field on a large scale in Song State, Song State's supplies could not be transported in time. If they could not cross the river in time, the consequences would be disastrous. To die in battle is to starve to death.
Luo Zhao inspected back and forth by the river all day, intending to find a good opportunity to cross the river.
Yan Jun used the same method to deal with him, and it was impossible for him to replicate the miracle of Gunlong Gorge, and it was impossible for Meng Shanming to make the miracle of Gunlong Gorge happen to Song Jun again.
On the one hand, there is no news of Ruhua's beautiful family members at home, on the other hand, the army is facing such a crisis, and there is also the pressure from the court, the anxiety in Luo Zhao's heart is unimaginable to outsiders.
Although there are monks to help recuperate the body, the heart disease is difficult to cure. The high-spirited governor Luo and the jade-faced gentleman who is facing the wind in Yushu are really getting haggard day by day, and they become dark and thin. Their eyes are always full of bloodshot when looking at the river or staring at the map. People are in a state of extreme anxiety.
He couldn't sleep or eat at all. If it wasn't for the help of the monks, his body would have collapsed if he couldn't eat or sleep under the tremendous pressure.
The ambition to cross the river and invade the territory of Yan State has long since disappeared.
Do you regret it? It would be a lie to say that we have no regrets about our previous strategic decisions.
Luo Zhao really regretted that he shouldn't have underestimated Meng Shanming, the lesson he learned this time was enough to make him unforgettable forever!
An unprecedented situation has appeared on both sides of the Dongyu River. The people of Yan State are defending the river defense for Song State on the side of Song State, and the people of Song State are on the side of Yan State wanting to break through Song State's river defense.
...
In the mountains and forests, Niu Youdao was holding a copy of intelligence to check the inside information about the secret peace talks between Song State and Yan State.
Between countries, the defeat on the battlefield can never be retrieved on the negotiating table, no matter how much you talk, it is useless.
Song Shiqian Liansheng, who once insulted Shang Jianxiong naked outside the palace of the Yan Kingdom, lowered his noble head, and finally saw Tong Mo after being rejected several times.
When Yanjing was in crisis before, it was Qian Liansheng who spoke loudly, but now it is Tong Mo who speaks loudly like a lion, and looks like he doesn't care.
The State of Yan has confidence, and now it is the State of Song begging the State of Yan.
It is okay to let the army of Song State go back, but the State of Yan asks for 100 million gold coins and 100,000 carts of grain.
There is another request that seems to be too much. It was put forward by Shang Jianxiong. It was Shang Jianxiong who insisted on joining the negotiation conditions, and Shang Jianxiong killed him. This is a necessary condition. Others can be negotiated, but this one has no room for negotiation. !
To be honest, even Tong Mo and others felt that this request was too much, but Shang Jianxiong insisted on it, so Tong Mo had no choice but to implement it.
Emperor Song Mu Zhuo really had a concubine who was extremely favored by him, who could gather thousands of favors from Emperor Song. Her beauty can be imagined, so it goes without saying.
The negotiation condition that Shang Jianxiong insisted on was this concubine, asking Song Guo for this concubine!
Let me ask how Qian Liansheng could agree to this condition. If he really wanted to agree, if Emperor Song were to suffer such a great humiliation, he wouldn't want to live anymore. Besides, he couldn't be the master. Naturally, he refused, but he also made a concession and could send A princess of the Song Dynasty was Shang Jianxiong's woman.
Shang Jianxiong immediately refused, what a joke, wouldn't he be a generation lower than Mu Zhuozhen if he wanted Mu Zhuozhen's daughter?
Of course, Qian Liansheng didn't have the confidence to negotiate at all. Knowing that Yan Guo still wanted to unite Song Guo to fight against South Korea, he bargained for the price.
But Shang Jianxiong insists on getting that concubine. Song Guo likes to bargain, so bargain slowly. You are not afraid that the two to three million elite soldiers of Song State will starve to death by the river in the Eastern Region. You can spend it slowly, see Who is in a hurry.
Guan Fangyi came with a piece of news in his hand, saw the thing in Niu Youdao's hand, glanced at Yuan Gang who was standing beside him, knew that the news must have come from Yuan Gang's channel, and said mockingly with dissatisfaction : "Congratulations to Master Dao first."
Niu Youdao looked back, "Why do you like it?"
Guan Fangyi jokingly said, "Congratulations to Dao Ye and Wang Ye for becoming brother-in-law."
"..." Yuan Gang on the side was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and even cast a glance at Niu Youdao, as if he was wondering, could it be that the Dao Lord has his eyes on some woman? I never heard that the princess has any other sisters!
"Uh..." Niu Youdao was also stunned for a while, not knowing why he said this, his eyes fell on the paper in her hand, and he reached out to ask for it.
Guan Fangyi conveniently hid the news behind her back, and raised her chin towards the news in his hand.
Niu Youdao looked at the message in his hand again, and there was nothing confidential, so he handed it to her in exchange.
It is only when the news is received that it is from Shang Chaozong.
Song Guo obviously knew the decisive role of Shang Dynasty Zong in this war, and he also knew Niu Youdao's influence on Shang Dynasty Zong. While negotiating with the Yan Guo court, he also sent people to negotiate with the two of them, and both sides started at the same time.
At present, I want to find Niu Youdao, but I am afraid that there is too little time, so I contacted Shang Chaozong, hoping that this side will give Luo Zhao's army back with a noble hand, and the condition is that they are willing to marry a princess of Song Dynasty to Shang Chaozong. Niu Youdao did not treat him badly, and at the same time, he was willing to marry a princess to Niu Youdao.
The news from Shang Chaozong was that if Niu Youdao had no objection, he would directly reject it.
For Shang Dynasty Zong, no amount of gifts would be able to exalt the Song army. It must achieve the strategic goal here, and he would not give Song the opportunity to provoke between him and the court.
Niu Youdao couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the news. If he wanted to marry, would it make sense for him to be a princess or not?
Immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Return the message to the prince, just say that I am not interested."
Yuan Gang on the side stretched out his hand to read the news in Niu Youdao's hand.
Guan Fangyi, who had read the news at the side, looked up, and said with an unhappy face: "It's ridiculous, our women have become objects of negotiation between countries. Shang Jianxiong, the emperor, is shameless? He openly asked for other people's women, It’s also called a marriage. Is this something the king of a country does? A woman who provokes someone and is sent around like an object is ridiculous and shameless!"
Niu Youdao sighed: "Among the countries, there are still few things about coming and going with relatives? How did Shang Youlan, the Queen Mother of Zhao State, marry to Zhao State? Because of the Song army's attack, Shang Jianxiong's harem killed so many people. Given the opportunity, Shang Jianxiong will not have to avenge his shame and pass on the shame?"
Guan Fangyi sarcastically said: "If you take over Mu Zhuozhen's woman, can you avenge your shame?"
Niu Youdao: "Beautiful clothing, fine food, and thousands of pets are all in one body, and what you enjoy is the power of a country. When the national crisis comes, it is your turn to take responsibility. Those who want to wear the crown must bear the burden!"
Guan Fangyi: "You men don't have a good thing!"
"Uh... why do you overturn a boat with one pole? What does it matter to me? I'm innocent."
"Then what are you talking about for granted?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"That's what you think in your heart. If you become an emperor, you will do the same, right? Shameless!"
"..."
