"The envoy from the Southern Song Dynasty is here?"
"Yes, and the envoys we sent have also returned. The Southern Song Dynasty is very excited about our proposal and has agreed to join forces with us. We are just ready to discuss the specific conditions."
"Oh? So what conditions are the Southern Song Dynasty going to put forward? What do they want?"
"This...I don't know. The envoy from the Southern Song Dynasty only said that we would discuss it after meeting with the king!"
In Yangzhou City, in the Yan Palace.
Wang Jing, wearing a slightly loose gown, sat cross-legged in a pavilion by the lake in the palace. Gao Xi, Han Xizai and Cen Wenwen stood aside and reported the situation of the envoys from the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Who is the messenger?"
Wang Jing asked casually.
Although it was the Huai Army who took the initiative to join forces with the Southern Song Dynasty, whether they could form an alliance with them was not very important to the Huai Army. If it can work out, it will work out, and it doesn't matter if the talks fall apart.
With the current strength of the Huai army, it is enough to defeat the Sun clan of Soochow.
The role that the Southern Song Dynasty could play was to contain Sun's troops from the south, especially Sun Ce's troops... He Ruobi could also do this kind of thing.
If the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty did not wink and put forward conditions that should not be met, then the Huai army would not mind being the Jin and Yuan in history. Let the Southern Song Dynasty know who has the final say on matters in the south.
"The envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty is Zhang Jun, and the deputy envoy is Han Yuzhou..."
Gao Xi replied.
"Wait a minute, are you talking about Zhang Jun, the one known as the Four Generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, or Zhang Jun, the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Wang Jing frowned slightly. There is no way, Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun in the early Southern Song Dynasty have the same pronunciation, one is Wen and the other is Wu, which makes it difficult to tell which one they are talking about.
"It's civil servant Zhang Jun!"
Gao Xi said.
Wang Jingding nodded. Zhang Jun was a famous official of the main war faction in the Southern Song Dynasty in history. He presided over the Fuping Battle of the Southern Song Dynasty and the subsequent Fuli Battle. Although they both ended in failure, this was not because Zhang Jun was incompetent.
It was an institutional problem in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was strange that a civil servant who was good at internal affairs was allowed to command the army. The opponent was the Jin army, which was famous for its bravery. It was strange that he could win.
As for Han Yuzhou, he was the great-grandson of Han Qi, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty. His father-ancestor was closely related to the Song Dynasty and was inseparable.
Therefore, although in the original history Han Yuzhou was assassinated by the Queen and Shi Miyuan because of the failure of the Northern Expedition, he did not think of rebellion.
The arrival of envoys from the two main war factions can tell the attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty.
"In that case, let's meet them and talk about it!"
Wang Jing said.
Seeing Wang Jing closing his eyes, as if he was contemplating the mysteries, Gao Xi, Han Xizai, Cen Wenwen and others apologized, gently retreated, and went to the front hall of Guiyan Palace to continue handling official duties.
"In the ninth level of cultivation, it is too difficult to understand the mysteries of the world and understand the laws by relying only on one's own strength!"
After everyone left, the surroundings became very quiet.
Wang Jing continued to immerse himself in practice.
At the beginning, the forces in Jianghuai and other places were wiped out one after another. The strength of the Huai army continued to grow, and it became rapidly stronger every day.
Wang Jing, who was connected to the Huai Army Qi Shu Qi Ji, naturally received great benefits.
The Dharma Appearance he originally condensed was the True Dragon Dharma Appearance. After the Dharma Appearance was fused with the physical body, it became the body of a True Dragon.
The Huai Army's Dragon Qi increased, and the divine favor from Yang Jian made Wang Jing's strength stronger every day. This growth was visible to the naked eye.
However, this increase is not unlimited. When Wang Jing's strength reaches a certain level and his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth reaches a certain level, this increase gradually disappears.
In fact, compared with other people, with the blessing of Huaijun Qi and God's favor, Wang Jing's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth is ten times or even more than that of normal people.
But even if it is more than ten times that of ordinary people, it cannot compare with the rapid growth of the previous period. This made Wang Jing, who had experienced enhanced strength communication, very uncomfortable returning to the original frequency.
To experience this surge in strength again, Wang Jing needs to completely destroy Soochow and absorb all its energy.
The stronger the Huai army is, the faster Wang Jing's strength will grow. Especially when you have just defeated a historical powerful prince, absorbing the opponent's energy can bless Wang Jing for a period of time...
Wang Jing is now the top powerhouse in the world of China, but in the future, with more and more ninth-level powerhouses, his strength advantage will become less and less obvious.
Yu Ji is still in Sihong, but Wang Jing has not forgotten this matter. Once Xiang Yu appears, it will be a threat to him.
Whether it is to deal with future crises or to suppress the powerful generals under his command, it is necessary for Wang Jing to focus part of his attention on improving his strength.
…
Wang Jing was not kept waiting for too long.
One day later.
Zhang Jun and Han Yuzhou came to Yangzhou under the leadership of the Huai army officials. Gao Xi went out to greet them on behalf of Wang Jing and received the two envoys into Yangzhou city.
At this time, the Huai army was gathering, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were gathering towards the Yangzhou, Taixing, and Nantong lines. The flames of war are raging and are about to surge toward the south of the Yangtze River.
However, there seemed to be no nervous movement in Yangzhou City. The people on the streets were still doing what they were supposed to do. Except that the river was blocked by the Ming army and Liu Song, resulting in fewer merchants, there was not much difference from before.
"What a peaceful place. When the world is in chaos, the people under the command of King Huai can live and work in peace and contentment. It is really admirable!"
After Zhang Jun entered the city and saw the scene in the city, he couldn't help but praise it.
The civil servants of the Song Dynasty, whether they were in the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, advocated war or peace, they all liked to see an environment where the city was prosperous, the people lived in peace, and there was no war or starvation.
Yangzhou City satisfied Zhang Jun's imagination.
Of course, it has only been about a year since Yangzhou City fell into the hands of the Huai Army. It is still far from being compared with Bianliang and Lin'an in Tokyo in history. However, in the troubled times of endless wars, Yangzhou was definitely a very prosperous and peaceful place.
"Your Majesty, thank you very much. Yangzhou has only been built for two or three years, and it still needs time to settle down!"
Gao Xi responded casually.
Zhang Jun smiled and continued to scan around the city. When he saw the patrol soldiers passing by on the street, his eyes flashed even brighter.
The ordinary soldiers used by the Huai army to patrol the city all looked energetic and strong, comparable to the elites of the Song army.
This is just an ordinary soldier.
In the military camps outside the city, there are also elite soldiers stationed in Taixing, Nantong and other places. I don't know how strong they are.
Han Yuzhou was also very concerned about these soldiers in the city.
They come to Yangzhou this time.
In addition to meeting the King of Huai, they also had a close observation of the people's livelihood under the Huai Army and the condition of the soldiers, which is related to their attitude towards the Huai Army...
If the Huai army is strong enough, then they will be more restrained and the conditions they propose will not be too excessive.
If the Huai army's internal affairs are in chaos, the people are hungry and cold, and the rear is unstable...then their conditions will naturally be different.
