Song Qinzong thought that after the military pay was reissued, the rebels would disperse. Something he didn't expect happened. After getting the money, the soldiers wanted to disperse, but Ye Jun stopped them.
He said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has not rewarded us for our merits in hoeing traitors." The emperor was very angry when he saw that he was taking advantage of the situation. He wanted to order the bows and arrows to be fired and shoot the rebels on the spot, but considering that the royal family was detained by the rebels, He gave up the idea due to the safety issues of the members.
Suppressing his anger, he pondered for a moment and said: "I will transfer your troops to the imperial camp (the imperial guard) and put them under the command of General Wang Yuan. At the same time, I will promote you and your deputy Chen Fei to deputy generals (equivalent to division commanders). What do you think?" Ye Jun said: "Unless I am appointed as the Jiedushi (equivalent to the commander of the military region), we will never withdraw our troops." Song Qinzong did not answer and walked down the observation tower.
After leaving the watchtower, Song Qinzong, Wang Yuan, Tang Feng, and the Supreme Emperor gathered together to discuss countermeasures. The Supreme Emperor said that he would never agree to Ye Jun's request, otherwise he would put forward more excessive conditions. Song Qinzong agreed, and Wang Yuan suggested: "The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty simply came to kill the fish and ordered the arrows to be fired, and the rebels were shot on the spot to avoid future troubles." The Supreme Emperor said: "That would be equivalent to killing the members of the royal family who stayed in the palace, and I will never agree." Song Qinzong also Disagree.
Tang Feng said: "I have a plan that can make the rebels lay down their weapons without any bloodshed. Wang Yuan became more excited when he heard this: "General Tang, what is your clever plan? Tell me quickly?" "Tang Feng said: "Negotiate with the rebels, be reasonable with them, and use emotion to get them to lay down their weapons. Even if you can't succeed, you can still delay the time. It will be easier to handle when General Han Shizhong's troops arrive. Song Qinzong said: "Negotiation is the only feasible way now. You go ahead and do it." Tang Feng replied: "I obey the order." " He got up and left Song Qinzong's residence, sent someone to call Liu Weichen, and said to him: "I am going to negotiate with the rebels. The army is temporarily under your command, and the emperor's safety must be guaranteed. Liu Weichen saluted and replied: "Yes." Then Tang Feng came outside the military camp and said to the rebel soldiers: "I am Tang Feng, and I want to see your General Ye." "Ye Jun came to Tang Feng. In order to avoid being passive, he made a preemptive move: "General Tang, if you are here to persuade me to surrender, please don't open your mouth. Tang Feng said: "General Ye misunderstood. I just came to ask General Ye what he thought of the Jin Army?" Ye Jun replied: "The Jin army is a group of treacherous villains. Originally, the two countries made an alliance to jointly destroy the Liao Dynasty. After the event was completed, the territory was divided equally." As a result, they did not abide by the covenant, marched south in large numbers, and trapped the capital of our country. This was a heinous crime. If you were lucky enough to lead troops into battle, you would definitely kill them all. Tang Feng asked: "Don't you realize that your current behavior is helping the Kingdom of Jin?" "If you want to know what happens next, let's look at the breakdown in the next chapter.
