Wang Bin stood up and the two sat down again and talked about Shi Song's request for peace.
"Your Majesty! This matter should be done privately by Shi Songzhi at the moment, but I estimate that he must have reported it to Lin'an, and the emperor will probably allow him to negotiate peace. If the Song Dynasty negotiates peace with Mongolia, Lin'an will definitely take action against the king. Therefore, I think the king must Stop the peace negotiation!" Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "Until the war ends, Lin'an will not dare to take action against the king for the time being."
Zhao Tai nodded, "What the military advisor said makes sense. Then, the negotiation for peace is not led alone. What if Lin'an insists on asking for peace?"
Now Zhao Tai is just a clan king and a local warlord in the Song Dynasty. The Central Committee of the Southern Song Dynasty wants to negotiate peace with Mongolia, and Zhao Tai can't say anything.
According to Wang Bin's analysis, Lin'an was afraid that Zhao Tai would become bigger and did not want Zhao Tai to continue to attack Mongolia.
On the Mongolian side, Ogedai and Kublai Khan cannot ignore the 30,000 Mongolian troops, so Ogedai is definitely willing to negotiate peace.
Zhao Tai thought that the two parties were in love with each other. As a local military leader, he would probably not be able to stop the peace negotiations between Mongolia and Song Dynasty.
Now is not the time to fall out. Even if Zhao Tai objects directly, the Southern Song Dynasty will not adopt it.
Wang Bin said: "Lin'an agreed to negotiate peace. The king really can't say anything, but Prime Minister Zheng and Privy Zhao can speak out. It's just that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants to negotiate peace, and the two prime ministers are just delaying time!"
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "In this case, the peace negotiation cannot actually stop it!"
Wang Bin shook his fan and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry! If Lin'an gives in to Mongolia and insists on asking for peace, then as long as your Majesty does three things, you will have no worries!"
Zhao Tai leaned forward, as if to close the distance and hear more clearly, "What three things?"
Wang Bin said: "The land that the king holds is located between the Mongolian and Song Dynasties. If the two negotiate a peace, the king's situation will be very dangerous. Therefore, the first thing the king has to do is to delay the time for peace negotiations between the Mongolian and Song Dynasties as much as possible, and wait for them to Before negotiating peace, annihilate Kublai Khan and the 30,000 Mongolian troops in Hengjian Mountain. Mongolia was severely damaged. Within a few years, Mongolia will not dare to touch the king's army. In this way, if there is a conflict between the king and Lin'an, Mongolia will not be able to fight in a short time. They will fall into a situation where they are attacked by Meng and Song."
Zhao Tai nodded, "Yes, if Kublai Khan is let go, Mongolia will always threaten Shandong."
Wang Bin continued: "The second thing is that the king should continue to expand his strength before negotiating peace. In this battle to eliminate the state, we captured a lot of money and captured tens of thousands of Mongolian troops. I suggest that the king collect these soldiers and horses. Even if Mongolia and Song Dynasty negotiate peace by then, as long as the king does not go to Lin'an or leave the fiefdom, Lin'an will not dare to attack the king rashly because of the fear of the king's strength."
Wuxian has not yet arrived with the captives and captures, but Zhao Tai estimates that, as Wang Bin said, if he recruits the captured Han army, his strength will be further improved.
Even if the Southern Song Dynasty provokes him, Zhao Tai will not be afraid.
Zhao Tai nodded frequently, "The military advisor continues."
Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "If the king does these two things well, he can seize Shandong. However, I think that the king's ambition will not stop there!"
Zhao Tai smiled and said, "What's the third thing?"
Wang Bin stopped pretending, "The third thing is that once the Mongolian and Song Dynasties negotiate a peace, the Southern Song Dynasty will legally abandon all the northern factions, which will completely lose the hearts of the northerners, and will also make people with lofty ideals in the Southern Song Dynasty feel disappointed in Lin'an. At this time, what the king has to do is to raise the banner of regaining the Han land and criticize Lin'an for betraying the country and serving as captives. He lives in a corner without thinking about recovery and is ashamed of his ancestors. In this way, the king will gain moral authority and win the hearts of the people, and the heroes of the world will rush to join him first. . At that time, the king will devote himself to management, with one hand of morality and the other hand of gold and silver, to infiltrate the Jianghuai army. If Lin'an attacks the king, the king can raise the banner beside the Qing emperor, quickly go south, and seize Lin'an in one fell swoop!"
Zhao Tai stroked his beard and looked at Wang Bin, "It seems that the military advisor is well prepared and has a strategy in mind!"
Wang Bin smiled and said, "I just thought of this."
Zhao Tai stood up and bowed to Wang Bin, "Listening to the military advisor's words, Gu suddenly became enlightened. If it becomes a big event in the future, he will definitely be rewarded by the prince!"
Wang Bin stood up and returned the courtesy, "This is my duty. What I wish is to assist the King of Zuo to achieve great things, sweep away the three hundred years of decline of our Han family, restore the Han Dynasty to a heroic state, and make my Han son stand proudly. If you are not a minister of the barbarians, your people will not be bullied by the barbarians!"
Zhao Tai took Wang Bin's hand and held it tightly. His eyes were like fire and he said emotionally: "Sir's wish is also Gu's wish!"
Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Central Plains Dynasty has begun to decline.
In the past few hundred years, the Western Region was lost, the Hexi Corridor was lost, Yanyun was lost, and the entire north was lost.
During this period of time, the people were bullied by foreigners, and the emperor professed his vassal status to the barbarians, which made those who wanted to do something very sad.
Zhao Tai was quite moved when he heard Wang Bin's words. The monarch and his ministers clasped their hands tightly, saying nothing.
Zhao Tai was quite satisfied with the strategy proposed by Wang Bin, and it could be used as his action strategy for the next few years.
Each of those three things was close to Zhao Tai's heart, especially the last one, which occupied the moral high ground.
If the Southern Song Dynasty really made peace with Mongolia and wanted to attack him, then Zhao Tai would follow Wang Bin's strategy and seize the Song Dynasty, sweep away the decline of the Central Plains dynasty, and establish a strong dynasty.
The two shook hands, and Wang Bin spoke first: "Your Majesty, I estimate that Privy Councilor Zhao will arrive tomorrow. At that time, your Majesty must persuade Privy Councilor Zhao to oppose the peace negotiation and try to delay the peace negotiation between Mongolia and Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Tai nodded, "As soon as Privy Zhao arrives, I will discuss with him!"
That night, Zhao Tai and Wang Bin talked by candlelight and fell asleep.
…
After the Chuzhou War, in order to pursue Kublai Khan, Zhao Tai led the army to pursue north without clearing the battlefield.
The Qi army only left the Wuxian tribe behind to watch the captured vehicles and escort the captured Mongolian prisoners.
The Mongolian army looted a lot in Jianghuai, and the Song army's various departments also kept an eye on these vehicles. However, in the battle of Chuzhou, the Qi army fought too hard. Although the Song army's various departments wanted to get a share of the pie, they did not dare to show their strength.
Wu Xian was guarding the vehicle and felt the unkind look from the imperial army. He did not collect the armor, weapons and flags of the Mongolian army on the battlefield, so he led 20,000 people to leave the battlefield and pursue Zhao Tai northward.
The remaining Mongolian soldiers on the battlefield who were clinging to the hills were left to the imperial army led by Zhao Kui to deal with them.
The Mongolian army was defeated. The trapped Mongolian army knew that resistance was meaningless, so the Forbidden Army did not spend much effort. The Mongolian army soon surrendered.
After solving the stubborn Mongolian army and cleaning up the battlefield, Zhao Kui did not stay in Chuzhou for long. He also led the army into Haozhou to join Zhao Tai.
Although Wuxian set off first, he was carrying too much vehicle baggage and prisoners, so when he approached Hengjian Mountain, he was overtaken by Zhao Kui, and the two groups arrived at almost the same time.
