Chapter 1000 Conditions
Whether it was the Emperor Wanyan Jing of the Jin Dynasty, or the Qi Shilie Gods slave who agreed to the peace, even if it was Jiaguqing who agreed to the battle with Song to the end, they were actually very curious about what the Song people were making behind the sudden initiative to propose peace.
Over the years, the power structure of Jin and Song, the main attack and defense of Jin, has been changed with Ye Qing's sudden rise. Therefore, it is logical that the Song people at this time will never be able to develop the ambition of others and destroy their own might.
But now, in the Yellow River area, the battles are equal and even a little bit of the upper hand are taken the initiative to make peace at this time, which makes people wonder whether the purpose of the Song people's move is a delaying strategy or another plan!
After the Song people on the other side submitted the letter of peace talks, they were still preparing for the coming of the next war as usual in the following days. The army with orderly and stable morale did not allow the Jin people to discover any abnormalities. This situation made the Jin people even more suspicious that Ye Qing's purpose of this move was not to really want to negotiate peace talks, but the so-called delaying strategy.
Wanyan Jing racked his brains with the ministers here, but he couldn't think of what the real purpose of Ye Qing taking the initiative to reconcile. Ye Qing on the other side was living a difficult life day by day as if she was waiting for a judgment.
The sun shines on the vast loess land, and the turbid Yellow River water continues to flow eastward day and night. From time to time, the glaring light reflected by ice chips is projected on the river surface from time to time. It is a flash, and it is vague and uncertain. Just like the mentality of the commander of the two armies at this moment, no one can understand what the other party is thinking at the moment, whether it is a war or a harmony. Although it is a thought,... the war that lasted for half a year ended silently. The Jin people were obviously unwilling to accept it, unless the Song people could give them the benefits that made them moved.
"When you combine, you will benefit both, and if you fight, you will suffer." Ye Qing took a deep breath, looked through the gaps in the curtains of the tent door, and looked at the invisible opposite bank of the Yellow River, and continued: "The interests are not only in front of you, but what can be seen is the interests. Arrest with Jin, and a ceasefire is the greatest benefit to the Jin people. Perhaps the Jin people still cannot understand at this time, or perhaps some people understand, but they just cannot convince Wanyan Jing."
"Zhao Shikui has arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, and Liu Ke has not yet entered Guanshan." Ye Heng shook his head. He was a little confused. Since Ye Qing had decided to negotiate peace, why could not give in to some benefits that the Jin people could see?
In his opinion, as long as Ye Qing is willing to give in to some benefits that can be seen by the Jin people, the peace he wants will be easily reached.
But now Ye Qing wants to negotiate peace with Wanyan Jing, but is unwilling to give in to the profit. This method is obviously difficult for the Jin people who have been fighting with Song for more than half a year.
In half a year, the battle between the Jin people and the Song Dynasty had almost never won the decent battle, and Jinan Prefecture was even more defeated. In this case, the Jin people must be unwilling to accept it, and they must be unable to bear it in terms of face, right? In this way, how could they really talk to Ye Qing?
So in Ye Heng's opinion, since he has made up his mind to negotiate peace with the Jin people, wouldn't it be easier to make some real concessions and then negotiate peace with the Jin people?
"If you can make peace with the Jin people, it will be not afraid of Zhao Shikui's arrival at Jingzhao Mansion. Besides, Liu Ke is also rushing to Guanshan, so it's okay to have a few days late." Ye Qing's eyes kept looking straight ahead, not looking at Ye Heng, who had been wanting to return to Jingzhao Mansion from Yanzhou in the past few days, said.
Ye Heng nodded silently. He also believed that Ye Qing had already known his intention to return to Jingzhao Mansion at this time, but since Ye Qing did not speak, he couldn't mention this matter to Ye Qing again, so he had to sigh helplessly. When he got up and planned to walk out of the tent, Wu Zong and Xu Han quickly ran into the tent. Both of them had a hint of excitement on their faces.
"Sir, the Jin people just sent envoys to send the documents sent by you, you have a look at them." Xu Han handed the Jin Dynasty document that was still air-conditioned to Ye Qing and said.
Whether it is the written or the contents in it, they are quite formal in the format of the letter of the Chinese letter. Compared with the letter Ye Qing handed to the Jin people, it seemed to be more formal and serious.
After all, this is a national book written by Wanyan Jing, the Jin emperor, so compared to Ye Qing's side, which is difficult to get the full support of the court, the form and format are naturally much more formal.
The content of Wanyan Jing's letter also mentioned the real dilemma facing the North now, and even had a hint of irony between the lines.
Wanyan Jing did not believe very much in Ye Qing's sincerity in wanting to have a peace talk. Moreover, the so-called peace talks written by the so-called peace talks had almost nothing to do with the Song court, and there was no document sent by the Song court in Lin'an to send Ye Qing as an envoy. In other words, Ye Qing's peace talks had no authority at all and could not represent the Lin'an court at all.
"Is this saying... are you not qualified to talk to him?" Ye Heng could feel the contempt and disdain for Ye Qing in the north between Wanyan Jing's words. As the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, even if he talks with Ye Qing, Ye Qing should have the documents sent by the Lin'an court.
Now Ye Qing has no imperial documents sent by the court, so this move seems quite inappropriate and has no credibility.
Ye Qing also handed the last letter in his hand to Ye Heng, and then there was a hint of unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth, and he still looked faintly at the direction of the door curtain.
"No, absolutely not." Ye Heng looked at the last passage in the last letter and made a quick decision: "The golden man is cruel and cunning, if it is you
If you go alone, you may not be sure to...."
"But if I don't go alone, Wanyan Jing will believe that I, Ye Qing, does not want to have a sincerity in peace, right?" Ye Qing finally turned around and looked at Ye Heng and asked.
"In my opinion, we might as well find a narrower place on the river surface between the two sides. Is it enough to talk to Wanyan Jing across the bank?" Xu Han almost snatched the last document from Ye Heng, took a look and said.
"How can you play like this?" Ye Qing smiled and said, "Wanyan Jing's letter was submitted to us in the form of a letter of state, which was intended to suppress our rationality in the north, and to ridicule us not being favored by the court and not being supported by the court. In other words, Wanyan Jing was not very interested in peace talks at this moment, but he was very curious about what the purpose of our active peace talks was. At the same time, it was also to test my determination to negotiate peace talks, so as to gain bargaining chips."
"But what if they don't keep their promises after you pass by alone? The two saints could be captured by them..." Wu Zong asked hesitantly, and then returned the letter in his hand to Ye Qing.
"Wanyan Jing mentioned the Lin'an court, indicating that Ye Qing, you have not received the dispatch documents from the court's envoys. In addition to intentionally suppressing the rationality of our in-town, he also intends to distract your relationship with the court, and wants to completely isolate the northern land, so that outsiders feel that the northern land has nothing to do with the Song court. After all, Wanyan Jing doesn't want to discuss peace." Ye Heng interrupted Wu Jue's words without waiting for Wu Jue to finish his speech, and then continued: "As for letting you cross the river alone, I believe Wanyan Jing knows that you don't dare to cross the river alone, so he has such a saying, so that you cannot mention the discussion of peace again."
Xu Han listened to Ye Heng's analysis thoughtfully, stroked his chin with one hand and nodded secretly: "Yes, Wanyan Jing's letter is extremely vicious. It has disagreed with the relationship between the court and our northern part, and it has completely rejected the possibility of the adults submitting documents for peace talks to them again. After all, Wanyan Jing said at the end that if you want a peace talk, then let you go to the Jin camp alone. Obviously he knew that this was impossible, so he said this and could completely eliminate our actions of submitting documents for conversations and documents again..."
"In this case, doesn't it mean that Wanyan Jing thinks that our submission of conversations and documents is a delaying strategy?" Wu Jue suddenly said without any hesitation.
"Yes." Ye Qing nodded in agreement with the words of Wu Jue and explained: "Wanyan Jing's move is to let me see clearly our current situation, not to be taken seriously by the court, and to be deeply trapped in the dilemma of their Jin soldiers at the city. Obviously, in his opinion, we are submitting peace talks at this time is a delaying plan. Of course, Wanyan Jing's move also implicitly encouraging us to surrender and alienate us from the court. In short... there is only one way to break the conditions for peace talks set by Wanyan Jing for us, that is, I will go to the opposite Jin camp."
"I am afraid that they will not keep their promises..." Wu Zong poked Xu Han next to him and signaled him to stop Ye Qing from going to the Jin Camp alone to negotiate peace.
"Wan Yan Jing is also testing, how sincere we have in peace talks. Obviously, what makes him uneasy and curious is the purpose of our peace talks. It seems that he is also hesitant, so he uses this as a condition to test our sincerity." Ye Qing looked up, looked at his six eyes and continued, "It blocked all other paths of peace talks, leaving only this path of peace talks. It seems to be risky, but in fact it also shows that Wan Yan Jing also has the intention of peace talks, but he is not sure about our sincerity."
"Wanyan Jing will have the intention to negotiate peace?" This is not only Ye Heng's question, but also the question that Xu Han and Wu Jue were in his mind.
Now the Jin people are strong on the other side, and Wanyan Jing is in charge of the army. Whether it is morale or morale, they are much stronger than the Song people. If the Jin people plan to fight to the death, neither Wu Jue nor Xu Han will believe that they can block the enemy on the river again as before. Moreover, there are voices of peace talks in the major camps, which makes the fighting spirit of the Song people a little lower than that of the Jin people. The chance of winning if they want to resist the enemy again is that they have to be a little weaker.
"If you just look at the situation in front of you, Jin is strong and I am weak, the Jin people naturally have no intention of having a peace talk." Ye Qing looked around the three of them again, and subconsciously tapped the table with his index finger and said, "But don't forget that Xia and Liao countries no longer exist now, and there is no possibility of restoring the country again in the future. On the land of China, Song, Liao, Jin, Xia and Meng were originally united together, but now with Liao and Xia destruction one after another, then standing at the height of those in power, Wanyan Jing had to leave his eyes behind and consider the problem from the overall situation. If the battle between Song and Jin continues blindly, it will only be cheaper for the Mongolians on the grassland at that time.
, let them reap the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, Wanyan Jing's long-term situation is even more difficult than us. To put it bluntly, even if we and the Jin people continue to consume, in the end, I, Ye Qing, will I lead everyone back to the south of the Yangtze River? But when the Jin people face the Mongols who are like wolves and tigers, do they still have the power to fight? Especially when the Jin people continue to consume with us, when the Jin people face the Mongols, they really don't have much resistance. Therefore, if Wanyan Jing is still a far-sighted emperor, then talk about peace with us, or even form an alliance to fight against the Mongols..."
"Impossible!" Ye Heng interrupted Ye Qing's words, and suddenly stood up under the puzzled gaze of Wu Jue and Xu Han, and said, "You took the initiative to negotiate peace with the Jin people, which has already touched the bottom line of the court. If you join forces with the Jin people further, you will join forces with the Jin people.
When fighting against Mongolia, the court will inevitably increase its impeachment and attack you. In addition, this time you took the initiative to negotiate peace with the Jin people and the court did not know at all. In this way, wouldn’t it give the court, the emperor, Shi Miyuan, Han Tuozhou and others the excellent opportunity to attack you!"
"So Ye Qing, this matter must not be done. Don't forget the grudge between the Jin people and our Song Dynasty. It cannot be resolved by time, and it is left unresolved." Ye Heng took a deep breath, and said as he looked at his six eyes.
"Why can't it be done when you get to the adults?" Xu Han curled his lips with dissatisfaction: "The court bowed to the Jin Dynasty and said with uncle and nephew. Shi Miyuan and Jin people can just talk about peace, and Han Tuozhou can't do it, why can't it be done when you get to the adults? Is it really only allowed the state officials to set fire and not allow the people to light the lamp? Lord Ye, don't forget that compared to Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou, he should be the meritorious ministers of my Song Dynasty. Which inch of this vast northern territory was not recaptured by the adults? What have they done? Not only did they not help the various armies in our northern regions, they even made conspiracies and framed the situation behind the scenes of the emperor when he was in the northern expedition. Now, if you want to negotiate peace, or even join forces to fight against Mongolia, why can't it be done?"
Ye Heng frowned and looked at Xu Han with dissatisfied expression, then looked at Ye Qing who was smiling but silent, sighed slightly, and then said helplessly: "Ye Qing has been operating in the North for many years. Yes, in the North, you are the people's hearts, but in the court, whether it is your Lord Ye or the entire North, they are always incompatible with the court and even all kinds of people's hearts. Ye Qing has made contributions to the Northern Expedition over the years, but over the years, his various extraordinary actions and acts that disobey the court's will have made the court deeply afraid that Ye Qing will use troops to stand up in the North.
It also made the ministers jealous of the power in Ye Qing's hands, especially the officials led by Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou. They had already had no choice but to deal with Ye Qing. Now that they were talking about peace, the court kept silent. Shi Miyuan arrived at Jinan Prefecture, and Han Tuozhou stayed in Lanzhou again. Can these not explain the problem? Traffic is already the bottom line of the court. If it is..." Ye Heng looked at Ye Qing again, and then said with a deep tone, he said with concern: "If you join forces with the Jin people again, you may cause you unnecessary trouble."
"I want to be a bitch and I want to set up a archway!" Xu Han muttered coldly, and turned around and looked at the sunshine outside the tent.
Ye Heng wanted to say something, but seeing Xu Han's indifferent look, he forced himself to hold back.
Xu Han can be said to be the confidant of all Ye Qing's subordinates, and he is completely a confidant who can be compared with Mo Xiaobao, Li Heng, Zhong Can and others. Even the Wu Jue, this general who was also a general who came out of the Divine Power Army back then, obviously could not compare with Xu Han and the other four people.
"This matter cannot be blamed on the court." Ye Qing said slowly: "The reason why the court's attitude is ambiguous and hesitant is due to us. To put it bluntly, the court is both afraid and resentful of the Jin people's current psychology. Of course, the court hopes that we can regain all the lost territory, and also hopes that we can always maintain a sense of deterrence and oppression against the Jin people, unlike other large armies. But the court has to make other preparations when we regained the territory because of the psychological fear caused by the capture of the Two Saints back then, which is to value harmony for the Jin people. Therefore, in the eyes of the court, peace talks should not be what we have to do, but what Shi Miyuan and others have to do, and what we have to do is to regain the lost territory as always."
"Since that's the case, why does the court still have to cut off our food and grass? And let Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou come to Jinan and Lanzhou. Isn't the court afraid that this will make us feel uneasy? Fight with one hand and the other hand?" Wu Jue continued with a hint of mocking on his lips: "The court is really good at making a good plan. If you lose, it is our own business. The court will impeach us. If you win, it is Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou's credit. Talking about peace is also our fault. On the contrary, Shi Miyuan and the others are not at all wrong, which is ridiculous!"
"The intention of the court's free court is not easy for you to understand." Although Ye Heng would not scold Xu Han in front of Ye Qing, he still had this right to scold his former military judgment: "The court used both Jin and Wen and Wu, taking the overall situation into consideration, and for the safety of the people of the world. As for the fact that he has always been ambiguous about the North, and even occasionally adopts a suppression from time to time, it is also for the relationship with the Jin people. This time, the court's silence is enough to show that he still supports Ye Qing."
"No wonder it's been several days. Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou didn't send me a letter to question me, nor did he blame me on behalf of the court." Ye Qing looked up at Ye Heng. What Ye Heng said just now finally made him understand that Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou did not take the initiative to attack when he took the initiative to negotiate with the Jin people.
Of course, this also indirectly illustrates another problem, that is, the court's position has always been inclined to Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou, rather than Ye Qing's side.
Ye Qing, who had drunk the last sip of tea, slowly stood up, and then, under the gaze of the three of them, thought for a while and said firmly: "I have decided that I will go to Jinying alone tomorrow to discuss peace."
"grown ups……."
"Ye Qing..."
The three of them exclaimed in unison, although they were somewhat mentally prepared, when they heard Ye Qing say it in person, the three of them couldn't help but feel sweaty for Ye Qing.
