In the Chu army camp, Shi Songzhi's face was ashen. What did the army outside chant "Man Jiang Hong" mean?
Does this mean that I am Qin Hui?
Although in the Song Dynasty, due to the long-term rule of the Zhuhe faction and their propaganda and praise, Qin Hui actually had a good reputation in the court and among the officials, gentry and landlords, but no matter how much they publicized, they could not deceive all the people and they could not face their own problems. Knowing the truth in their hearts, they have to admit that the people have long regarded Qin Hui as an important female minister.
Right and wrong are right and wrong, a loyal woman does justice and is at ease in people's hearts.
Shi Songzhi actually knew it deep down, but he was unwilling to admit it and deceived himself into thinking that he was doing it for the world.
He very much hoped that the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty would also believe that he was negotiating peace for everyone's good, but the voices outside clearly told him that the soldiers knew it and were very angry inside.
They can't resist the imperial court's will, but shit is shit, don't think we can't tell the difference.
Shi Songzhi looked extremely gloomy as he listened to the reading outside. He slapped the table and said, "Who is making a noise outside?"
A general went out and came back in a hurry, "Reporting to Sir, this is the voice coming from the camp of the Qi Army. There are also soldiers from the Huai Army, the Forbidden Army, and the Chu Army reciting it!"
"Oh my God!" Shi Songzhi was furious. "The imperial court wants to negotiate peace with Mongolia. What do they mean by reciting "Man Jiang Hong"? Do they want to sabotage the imperial court's peace negotiation plan?"
A big hat was put down, and all the generals in the tent lowered their heads. No one answered his question, and no one dared to raise any objection.
Jiang Wanzai stood up with a sullen face, "General, go out and take a look!"
Shi Songzhi shouted: "You all go out to suppress me! If there are any more readers, it will be regarded as sabotaging the peace negotiation and will be executed without mercy!"
Many generals stood up quickly and hurriedly left the tent. After a while, the Chu camp became quiet.
On Hengjian Mountain, Kublai Khan, who had survived the disaster, and the Mongolian generals looked down the mountain, listening to tens of thousands of troops reciting, and many people couldn't help but feel fear.
This time they were almost wiped out by the Song Army. Now, surviving the disaster, they heard the Song Army's shouts below, and every sound made them tremble.
Cha Ci said: "My lord, unless the Zhao thief dies, it will be difficult for the southerners to be conquered!"
Kublai Khan stared at the Qi army camp with sinister eyes and snorted coldly, "It seems that Zhao Tai is dissatisfied and very angry. Although he defeated me this time, so what, he still can't kill us, he still wants to Beg for peace with us Mongolia!”
Kublai Khan was beaten badly this time, but when he thought of Zhao Tai's mood at this time, he couldn't help but want to laugh on his face.
At this time, in the Qi army camp, the soldiers recited it over and over again. A group of cavalry galloped to the camp gate. The leader said loudly, "Open the camp gate! Your Majesty's gold medal, summon King Linyi to enter and award the reward!"
Zhao Tai watched Zhao Kui and Zhao Fan walk away. Zhao Hu came over and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy from Lin'an has arrived."
Under the current situation, Zhao Tai would never dare to leave the army and go to Lin'an, but during the peace talks between Meng and Song, Zhao Tai could not fall out with Lin'an for the time being.
After all, Wokuotai's army is stationed on the north bank of the Huaihe River. If Mongolia and Song Dynasty join forces, Zhao Tai will definitely not be able to withstand it.
You can't go to Lin'an. If you go there, you may never come back, but you can't fall out with Lin'an directly.
Wang Bin said: "Your Majesty, after all, you are summoned by a gold medal, so you have to give Lin'an a decent reason! From the perspective of your humble position, it is better to stay in bed with an illness and not be able to make the trip. This way, Lin'an's face can be saved, and your Majesty can stay in the army!"
Seeing a gold medal is like seeing an emperor. If you refuse directly, it will be too disrespectful to Lin'an, and both parties may fall out directly.
If he claimed to be ill and refused to go away, Zhao Tai did not directly resist the holy order after all. Lin'an was afraid of Zhao Tai's military strength and needed Zhao Tai to check and balance Mongolia, so he would probably accept the current status quo.
Zhao Tai nodded, "I'll go to the tent to make some preparations. The military advisor will go and welcome the envoy in on my behalf."
At that moment, Zhao Tai hurried back to the tent and lay down directly on the bed, leaving his guards speechless and looking worried.
Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and Wang Bin led several envoys into the room.
There was one person in front of him, in his forties, with a thin appearance and a meticulous beard under his jaw. As soon as he came in, he saw Zhao Tai lying on the bed with a look of surprise on his face.
Wang Bin said: "Don't blame the angel, my king is ill and can't get out of bed to greet him!"
The visitor bowed his hand to Zhao Tai, "How could His Highness suddenly become so ill?"
"The doctor said that Gu is depressed in his heart, his anger is trapped in his chest, and his anxious heart attacks his heart, causing evil energy to enter his body!" Zhao Tai reluctantly stood up and said with difficulty, "Don't blame the angel for not being able to welcome me. I don't know what the angel's purpose is~"
The officials sent by the imperial court to deliver the order were naturally not fools and knew the current situation very well.
Now the imperial court wants to negotiate peace with Mongolia. King Linyi is angry about the peace negotiation, so he becomes ill with worry and anger.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the King of Linyi was worried that something unwarranted would happen to him, so he did not go to Lin'an because of illness.
The visitor didn't know which one it was. He looked at Zhao Tai carefully for a while and said in a deep voice: "I am following the official's order to summon His Highness to Lin'an with the gold medal to award the reward!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tai quickly stood up and gasped: "Since it is His Majesty's will, I will leave for Lin'an immediately."
Wang Bin and other generals on the side hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Your Majesty, you can't do it! Your current body is inconvenient to collapse. How can you go to Lin'an after a long journey?"
Zhao Tai coughed for a while, acting as if he was barely breathing.
Wang Bin turned to face the envoy, "Angel, you have also seen it. Your Highness is ill and it is really difficult to move. The official summoned His Highness is just a reward. Since it is a reward, I think it is not urgent for a while. It is better to let Your Highness take good health and then Go to Lin'an to receive the reward! What do you think?"
The envoy looked troubled, "I have been ordered to come here, and the officials have asked me to take His Highness with me to Lin'an. I'm afraid~"
"Your Highness is so ill, how can he travel far away? If something bad happens on the road, what will we do with the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Qi Army? Who will suppress it if there is a problem!" Wu Xian suddenly shouted.
When he shouted, many generals in the tent immediately started making noises.
When the messenger saw this, he didn't dare to say anything. When Wang Bin saw this, he asked someone to fetch a small box and said kindly: "This matter is embarrassing for the angel, but the situation is indeed special. I would like to ask the angel to be accommodating."
The envoy had a sullen face, and neither he nor the people who followed him went to pick him up. Da Song, apart from anything else, was really good to the civil servants, and none of them accepted the money given by Wang Bin.
"Since His Highness is ill in bed, I can't force it. However, I will return home later and will truthfully report what I saw today. By then, I don't know whether the officials will send out another gold medal to invite Your Highness." Seeing the situation in the tent, the envoy knew that Zhao Taicheng could not go, so he bowed and left the tent, saying, "Your Highness, take care of yourself. I will not disturb you."
After speaking, several envoys came out of the tent. After Wang Bin and others left, they said to Zhao Tai who was sitting on the bed: "Your Majesty, we still have to return to Shandong as soon as possible to avoid Lin'an from sending gold medals again!"
