(Thirty-six)
She saw the struggle and pain in the eyes of the Qin family's elder man.
Even though the crimes committed by the eldest son of the Qin family are too numerous to be recorded, history books still leave his figure in the late Northern Song Dynasty, when he was determined to resist the Jin Dynasty and was neither humble nor arrogant.
This cannot be erased by anyone.
It's getting hotter and hotter, Sunge gritted his teeth, "eldest man of the Qin family, don't repay kindness with hatred."
The elder man of the Qin family, who was trying to resign as the envoy of the ceded territory, had vague auditory hallucinations.
Mrs. Li?
Or the sound of gnashing teeth?
Are you lingering in anger at his struggles, or are you disappointed in his inaction?
The elder man of the Qin family was stunned immediately, with a wry smile on his face.
Mrs. Li has passed away long ago.
Before he knew about the funeral, Mrs. Li had been buried.
But the kindness of teaching and enlightenment was engraved in his heart.
Gritting his teeth, the eldest son of the Qin family knelt down and said in a painful voice, "Guan family, there is no only way to sue for peace at this moment."
"At the end of last year, the Jin soldiers sent out two armies, the east and west armies, in an attempt to besiege Bianliang. However, the west route army led by Wanyan Zonghan still failed to capture Taiyuan and could not join up with the east route army led by Wanyan Zongwang."
"Relying on the Eastern Route Army alone, Bianliang City will never be lost as long as it is properly defended."
"Master Li is coordinating the city's defense inside, and various troops of King Qin are on the way outside. Your Majesty only needs to hold on for one more month, and the crisis in Bianliang City will be resolved."
"If done properly, it is not impossible to pull Wanyan Zongwang's east-route army to death in Bianliang by cooperating with the inside and outside."
More than 30 officials from the main war faction thought and discussed day and night, and realized that no peace talks were the only chance for Bianliang.
Once peace is negotiated, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
After the words fell, dozens of people knelt down in the court hall.
Although the country is gradually declining, there are still many people who have never extinguished their passion and are trying to save the precarious Song Dynasty.
As long as there is a slight chance, someone will stick to it until the end.
Maybe this power is very weak, but it can prove that this country can still be saved.
Zhao Huan sat on the throne with a hesitant look on his face, "The Jin soldiers are invincible. If Taiyuan City is breached, there will be no chance for peace talks."
"Guan Jia, the Northwest Army has been fighting Xixia all year round when His Majesty Shenzong was under His Majesty. Their combat readiness has never slackened, and they have rich battlefield experience."
"Taiyuan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The city is well-defended, there is sufficient food and grass in the city, and there are famous generals in charge. It can definitely resist the Jin Bing West Route Army for at least half a year!"
"The officials, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, will never agree to the Jin people's peace talks conditions."
Dozens of officials knelt on the ground, crying and shouting.
It is ridiculous to say that in the huge Northern Song Dynasty, with millions of troops, only the Northwest Army could fight.
"Officials, Wanyan Zongwang's proposal for peace talks at this time is just a tactic to delay the war."
"If peace is negotiated now, when Taiyuan is captured and surrounded by two armies, Bianliang will be in danger."
Sun Ge, who was sitting on the jade steps, had slightly hot eyes.
No matter what era, there are lovely people.
If you think about it carefully, these people's ideas are feasible.
As long as Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army can be locked outside Bianliang City, unable to attack or retreat, then once King Qin's army arrives, the isolated and helpless East Route Army of Jin Bing will be a meal.
Millions of King Qin's divisions can pile up golden soldiers to death even if they pile them with corpses.
In this case, maybe the Song Dynasty can still breathe for a few years.
The officials worked hard to govern, the officials worked diligently, and the military attaches trained their troops, so there was no chance of counterattack.
It's a pity that people are not united.
The main war faction in this court is less than one-third.
Qin Zong is inherently weak and fickle and cannot be relied upon.
If the First Emperor were here, even if no one in the court agreed, as long as there were still soldiers available, he would shout, "Even if there are thousands of people, I will go."
No foreign country will be allowed to interfere with his territory!
"I, I'll think about it again." Zhao Huan was confused and didn't know what to do.
The war faction knelt down and begged, and the peace faction also began to persuade Zhao Huan, making extravagant claims about peace.
Sun Ge sneered, "Throughout the ages, the reason why famous ministers are unable to mend the sky is just like this."
The main fighting faction was kneeling on the ground for an unknown length of time.
Zhu Hepai, who couldn't stand talking without pain in his back, didn't know how long he talked.
Qinzong Zhao Huan's already deviated heart became even more deviated at this moment.
He doesn't dare to gamble!
He cannot tie the survival of Bianliang City to Taiyuan City.
If the result is not what the main war faction imagined, what awaits him is the destruction of the city and the death of people.
The Supreme Emperor has already led Cai Jingtong Guan and his ilk away from the flames of war. If he dies, the Supreme Emperor's small southeastern court will immediately transform into the orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty.
What about him?
Who is he?
The emperor's scapegoat?
When he was a boy, he never received any favor from his father.
All of his father's favor was given to his third brother Zhao Kai, and he even did not hesitate to change the ancestral system for his third brother.
The unstinting partiality made the courtiers waver and worry that the third brother could replace him at any time.
The results of it?
The Jin soldiers crossed the Yellow River, and the Song Dynasty was in danger. When they were looking for a scapegoat, they unswervingly chose him. They issued three abdication edicts, and even if he was unconscious, he would be raised to the throne.
This may be the first time that he has been so firmly chosen by his father.
No, the words of the war-fighting officials could not give him a sense of security. He could not place his hope in the unknown.
Zhao Huan said, "Peace talks are imperative."
Above the court, there was depression and despair.
If you listen carefully, there seems to be an extremely quiet sobbing sound.
Among these people, they are not afraid of fighting or living or dying with Bianliang.
Not only these more than 30 warring officials, but also the Northwest Army who was defending the city in Taiyuan against the Jin Army's West Route Army, would have been so tragic if they knew the terms of the peace talks.
They are still fighting, still throwing their heads and blood, and defending Taiyuan.
However, the terms of the peace negotiations did cede Taiyuan.
So what is the meaning of their persistence?
"Zuo Sijian, don't forget the appointment I just made."
Zhao Huan said coldly.
The elder of the Qin family had no words and just kowtowed.
What I just said is clearly the only correct move at the moment.
It's a pity that he was still abandoned by the officials.
Many negative emotions emerged uncontrollably in the Qin family's heart.
All the passion is useless.
It is useless to argue with reason.
Zhao Huan made the final decision to negotiate peace with Wanyan Zongwang.
The peace faction called on the officials to be wise, while the war faction remained silent.
It seemed that everything that could be said had been said in the hysteria just now.
Sunge was not surprised by this ending.
Peace talks are always Zhao Huan's first choice.
However, even if there is a peace negotiation, the conditions for the peace negotiation must be considered, right?
Wanyan Zongwang agreed to whatever request he made?
This astronomical figure can't be collected even by selling the pot and selling iron.
The Lord Harmony Sect was very eloquent just now, with a lotus-like tongue, but now he can't even bargain?
┬─┬ノ(゜-゜ノ)
Sunge really wanted to give these people a big mouth next to him.
"In addition, I intend to appoint Li Gang as prime minister to take charge of the defense and troop deployment of Bianliang City."
Zhao Huantian was shameless and spoke again.
