Chapter 458: Diplomatic Victory
Riding a horse in Bianliang City is no different from committing suicide.
Those censors are like bloodthirsty sharks, they will make you regret it endlessly and wish you could turn back time and would rather ride on a horse.
But today is different.
A group of cavalrymen were galloping through the city surrounded by several civil servants. The people in front of them got out of the way and cheered intoxicatedly.
"Long live!"
Several civil servants were all dark-skinned, with many cracks on their faces. During this burst of speed, the crack on his face was blown open by the cold wind, and blood immediately flowed down, which was daunting.
But now their faces are full of pride!
Tang Ren was at the front, and at this moment he wished he could hold the knot in his hand and wave it around.
But starting from the early Tang Dynasty, messengers only carried seals, but no banners.
The cold wind blew against his face, and he felt something cold and wet flowing down his face, but the warm blood in his chest made him forget the pain.
He raised his arms and shouted: "Xi Xia bows its head, Qu Yehe returns to the Song Dynasty!"
The unsuspecting people became ecstatic, then raised their arms and cheered: "Long live!"
From the founding of the Song Dynasty to the present, there have been few successes in foreign wars.
Even if they win occasionally, they will not get any benefits, and they will even return the place they exchanged for their flesh and blood on the battlefield to their enemies at the negotiation table.
Not to mention diplomacy.
Starting from Zhao Laoer, the Song Dynasty's diplomacy was like a giant with clay feet. It failed to please the Liao people or the Xixia people, and even suffered losses from the Jiaozhi people later.
Therefore, after the changes in Xixia Junior High School, everyone was worried about whether there would be a war.
A war with Xixia will probably result in heavy losses. This is everyone's consensus. Even if Han Qi came out and coaxedly said that this famous general of the Song Dynasty would go to the front line in person, he could not give the people any confidence.
If there are too many failures, the morale of the military and the people will be depressed.
So not only is Zhao Zhen anxious, but the people who drink some old wine will also talk about whether Li Liangzuo is more fierce than his father, and then plan to fight and the Song Dynasty will lose those territories. After the heavy losses, I am afraid that there will be another Taxes are going to be increased.
Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the return of the envoy. Even if it is bad news, it can at least give people something to know.
Now the messenger has returned.
He brought incredible good news.
Li Liangzuo actually relented and returned the land in Quye River...
Is this an auditory hallucination?
An old man rubbed his ears and asked loudly about his children and grandchildren.
"Weng Weng, Li Liangzuo has given up! Return the land of the Song Dynasty!"
For the ownership of Qu Yehe, the Song Dynasty and the Xixia people negotiated many times, but every time the Xixia people would shake their heads reservedly.
The place I conquered is naturally Xixia's territory. If you have the ability, come and take it!
But now that no weapons are used, the Xixia people actually surrendered?
This Song Dynasty...
Some people thought of the diplomacy and war in recent years.
"Fuzhou, the Xixia people are afraid of being beaten by the Song Dynasty in Fuzhou!"
"There is a Grand Beijing Temple over there. What did Shen An write?"
"There are many sights in the capital to show the righteous way of heaven and earth. There are many bones in the sky, let's watch Han'er kill people!"
"good!"
"How heroic! Hearing this makes people's blood boil. I wish I could go to Xixia and take back those old places."
"..."
Countless people were cheering, and the cavalrymen held their heads high and proud, and the horses snorted and neighed.
Everyone knows the meaning of Xixia Furuan.
The Liao envoy has been a bit arrogant recently and even dared to wander around Yulin Lane. Then some officials used this as an excuse to impeach Shen An for having close contacts with the Liao people.
This is unscrupulous and cannot be controlled.
Because once Xixia becomes unstable, the Liao people will dare to drink from the Yellow River.
Without the control of Xixia, the Song Dynasty was like fish on the chopping board of the Liao people and could only be slaughtered by them.
Shen An happened to take his sister out for shopping and bought some gifts for Yang Meizhi.
He stood on the left and watched as Tang Ren roared and rushed over.
This is the moment of glory!
From then on, the diplomatic history of the Song Dynasty became more important.
Li Liangzuo in his previous life would not agree to return any old land. If he doesn't hit you, it will be considered a friendly gesture.
But this life is different.
In the battle of Fuzhou, the Song Dynasty's military strength was not superior, and it was actually a field battle.
Many people did not believe that the Song Dynasty won that battle.
It is true that the Song Dynasty dared to fight with its opponents in the field, but it rarely won if it did not have superior military strength.
So at that time, many spies came to Fuzhou, both from Xixia and Liao people. Even the Song Dynasty was worried that Fuzhou, Shen An and others were falsely reporting their military exploits, so they also sent secret spies to investigate.
It wasn't until they saw the Jingguan and the murderous Jingguan Stone that they believed it.
This Song Dynasty is different!
It no longer avoids war, it dares to show its long sword when facing a strong enemy, and bravely kills its enemies.
Why did Li Liangzuo bow his head?
Obviously, the strength of the Song Dynasty and the bad intentions of the Liao people made him have to choose to compromise.
But no one knew about his idea.
Only Tang Ren, who has obtained the true biography of Shen An, can impress Li Liangzuo with one word.
This was a major diplomatic victory. The Liao envoy would be disappointed, and Yelu Hongji would be disappointed.
The so-called friendship is just a temporary compromise when the opponent cannot be destroyed.
Where does the friendship between countries come from?
The world is like a jungle. You can temporarily form a team to deal with your opponents, but in the end you can only believe in yourself and continue to strengthen yourself, otherwise you will become the prey of powerful opponents.
Whose Song Dynasty is this?
Looking at these cheering people, Shen An smiled.
Tang Ren galloped all the way to the Xuande Gate. He looked up and saw Zhao Zhen and the ministers.
"Your Majesty, I have returned from my mission to Xixia."
He dismounted and bowed.
Chen Zhongheng asked loudly: "Why are you cheering?"
The city was too high to get close to the people, nor could they hear their private conversations.
Tang Ren shouted: "Li Liangzuo bows his head and is willing to return the old land of Quye River!"
oh!
Zhao Zhen heard someone exclaiming behind him.
"This is a weapon without blood! How rare!"
Han Qi couldn't help but punched the city head, and then shouted happily: "Okay! Good! Good!".
He is the Prime Minister, and he has achieved this great success during his term of office, and will leave his name in history in the future.
Zeng Gongliang said happily: "Li Liangzuo... Li Liangzuo is indeed what we thought, the overall situation is settled!"
Returning balance to the Three Kingdoms is what these monarchs and ministers hope for.
Now that Li Liangzuo is willing to surrender, it means that the Song Dynasty and Xixia will become allies when facing the Liao people.
The world is at peace again!
Ever since Wu Zangying Pang became a powerful minister, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were uneasy, fearing that Wu Zangying Pang would change national policy or lead to chaos in Xixia.
Yes, the Song Dynasty could attack the chaotic Xixia, but so what if it defeated Xixia?
After conquering Xixia, there was no longer any restraint or buffer between the Song Dynasty and the Liao people.
The war between Song and Liao will be inevitable.
Could the Song Dynasty win?
What a win!
That's why the emperor and his ministers will be happy.
Zhao Zhen was delighted and said, "I have won twenty years of peace for my descendants."
As long as Li Liangzuo lives for twenty years, peace will continue.
At this moment, no one knows that Li Liangzuo is a short-lived ghost.
"Long live!"
Every time news of victory came, the people of Bianliang always liked to express their love for the emperor with cheers.
"Long live the official family!"
This is a benevolent emperor, and everyone hopes that he will live a long life.
Zhao Zhen was so happy that he couldn't help but wave his hand downwards.
"Long live!"
He raised his head, with cheers in his ears and arms in his eyes.
Countless people are cheering for the coming long-lasting peace.
Zhao Zhen said with satisfaction: "That's it, my Song Dynasty should be like this."
In the distance, Shen An held her sister's hand and quietly disappeared into the crowd.
He was also very happy.
The Song Dynasty won peace, even if it was short-lived, it was extremely important at this time when the old and the new were changing.
This is God helping the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty in history did not seize the opportunity.
What about now?
There was a smile on his lips and he was in a great mood.
"Brother, go to my sister-in-law's house!"
Guoguo held his sleeve, her eyes rolling, but she wanted to talk to her sister-in-law who liked her.
Shen An said: "No, just wait a little longer. Your sister-in-law will come into the house next year and you can talk to her every day."
"Shen waits for the imperial edict! Shen waits for the imperial edict!"
He walked out of the crowd, and a guard outside happened to see him and shouted: "The official is calling."
Yeah, I can't go anywhere now.
Guoguo pouted and said, "Brother, the official family is not good."
Someone nearby heard this and couldn't help being furious. They were relieved when they saw that it was a little girl.
Against the background of diplomatic victory, Zhao Zhen is wearing a halo at this moment, and anyone who speaks ill of him is seeking death.
But Shen An didn't care about this at all.
He had his sister escorted back, while he entered the imperial city.
All the way to Fengtian Hall, an imperial doctor was treating the crack on Tang Ren's face.
Seeing Shen An come in, Tang Ren ignored the ointment that was not evenly applied on his face and bowed: "Thank you for your guidance, I will be able to live up to my mission this time."
Shen An smiled and said, "It's just gossip."
He spoke calmly, but everyone knew that Tang Ren was almost his disciple in the art of diplomacy, so they all watched with a smile. UU reading www.uukanshu. net
Even Han Qi said gently: "Everyone has done well this time."
Zhao Zhen said from above: "It's an unexpected surprise that Li Liangzuo has stopped."
Shen An frowned slightly, and Zhao Zhen continued: "But there are no good people in Xixia. He has been stable for the past few years, and I am afraid there will be another war later. But the Song Dynasty did suppress him this time, and so did I. Gladly."
Shen An felt relieved after hearing this. If Zhao Zhen is blindly optimistic, he is digging a hole for himself.
"Tell me about it, I can't wait."
Zhao Zhen's very relaxed attitude made everyone laugh.
Tang Ren told the story of his mission to Xixia.
"... There are many forces in the Xixia Kingdom, and there are many factions that have no secrets. They have to be cleared up slowly, but other forces are also taking advantage of the opportunity, so Li Liangzuo is very anxious now..."
Tang Ren looked calm and composed when he spoke, more steady than before.
"The Musang clan was thrown into the cold palace and it is said that they howled all day long..."
This is inevitable.
The emperor and his ministers had no sympathy for this woman, so Han Qi asked, "What about the Liang family?"
Tang Ren said with a strange expression: "I was brought into the palace early in the morning. The best doctors in Xingqing Mansion are all in the palace to take care of Liang. Just before I came, Liang gave birth to a child, but... It's a boy."
