Both Mongolia and Song Dynasty are interested in negotiating a peace, and one of them is willing to give in, so it will not be difficult to reach a peace.
This Mongolian invasion to the south frightened the emperor Zhao Yun and the officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
As a dynasty that failed to complete its unification, the Song Dynasty had strong enemies in the north since its founding, which made it difficult for subsequent kings to expand their territories.
The emperors of the Song Dynasty were faced with the fact that they could not defeat the powerful ethnic minority regimes such as Liao, Jin, Xia, and Mongolia. They could not achieve unification, and they did not expand their territories like the Han and Tang Dynasties, so they chose to accept the reality.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, since Taizong, there were very few monarchs who were willing to unify. Even if there were one or two, they would immediately abandon their unsteady ideals because of a failure.
At this time, Zhao Yun's thoughts were on the Northern Expedition, regaining the old mountains and rivers, and unifying the world. There was no hope, so it was better to enjoy the south of the Yangtze River, maintain internal rule, and prevent military generals from seeking to usurp the throne.
In order to live a peaceful life as soon as possible, Zhao Yun and some officials and gentry who had lost their ideals tried their best to negotiate peace as soon as possible.
The Chanyuan Alliance bought them a hundred years of peace between the Liao and Song Dynasties, and the Shaoxing Peace Conference also allowed them to avoid living in constant fear of being threatened by the Jin Kingdom.
Anyway, if we don’t have the ability to unify or restore the country, then we might as well kneel down and exchange for the Mongols not to attack the Southern Song Dynasty.
As the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were eager to seek peace, the negotiations between Mongolia and Song Dynasty progressed very smoothly.
By the end of April of the third year of Duanping, the two sides reached an agreement.
During this peace negotiation, Shi Songzhi made a request for Mongolia to cede the Central Plains, but Mongolia rejected it. However, the two sides agreed that the boundaries between the prefectures and counties actually controlled by the Mongolian and Song armies would be set, and the Southern Song Dynasty would not suffer much loss.
When the Mongolian army went south this time, only more than 10,000 of the 100,000 troops led by Kublai Khan were left, and the losses were extremely heavy.
Under such huge losses, Mongolia actually did not have enough troops to maintain their rule in the Central Plains.
Upon hearing this, Wokuotai was quite happy that the Southern Song Dynasty gave up asking for Henan and took the area under actual control as the boundary.
After such peace talks, the Mongolian army returned to the grassland to rest, and there was no need to worry about the Song army taking advantage of the emptiness in Henan to take over the Central Plains and restore the Guanhe defense line.
In addition, although the Southern Song Dynasty did not agree to kill Zhao Tai, it did promise to depose the main battle officers and give up all support for Zhao Tai, which was enough to wake up Mongolia.
When Yang Weizhong was negotiating, he learned that Zhao Tai was not going to Lin'an because of illness when summoned by the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor. He knew that Zhao Tai was not Yue Fei. The Southern Song Dynasty wanted to kill Zhao Tai but could not.
Therefore, he asked the Southern Song Dynasty to restrict Zhao Tai, and the Southern Song Dynasty was also afraid of Zhao Tai, so he readily agreed to Yang Weizhong's proposal.
Wo Kuotai was disappointed that he failed to kill Zhao Tai, but Yang Weizhong said that the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhao Tai were at odds with each other. As long as Mongolia did not put pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty would take action against Zhao Tai sooner or later.
When they fall out, it will be an opportunity for Mongolia to go south.
After hearing this, Wokuotai stopped demanding that Zhao Tai be killed first in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Mongolia lost the war, lost no territory, and still received money every year. What the Mongolian army did not get from the battlefield, the Southern Song Dynasty took the initiative to give it, and Ogootai was finally happy to accept the peace terms.
On the Southern Song Dynasty, Shi Songzhi and Qiao Xingjian immediately flew to Lin'an after reaching preliminary terms with Mongolia.
….
When the news came, Lin'an learned that the two countries had a truce. The two sides used the area under actual control as the boundary to withdraw their troops and return the prisoners. The Southern Song Dynasty gave Mongolia 200,000 pieces of cloth and 300,000 yuan in money every year, and the two sides ceased war.
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
In the Qing Dynasty, he entered the political affairs hall, where he became an official and participated in political affairs.
Shi Songzhi rode on the horse, "Now that Song and Meng have negotiated peace, our army has withdrawn from the siege of Hengjian Mountain. Please lead your troops and leave the Song Dynasty as soon as possible!"
Kublai Khan glanced behind Shi Songzhi and did not find Zhao Tai. "Don't worry, Xianggong Shi, I will lead my troops to leave immediately. But before I leave, I have a request!"
Shi Songzhi frowned and asked, "What request?"
Kublai Khan said: "I want to see the King of Linyi, and I hope he can send me across the river!"
Shi Songzhi knew that Kublai Khan wanted to make Zhao Tai angry, so he said with a black face: "The King of Linyi is ill and has not left the military camp for several months. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you off!"
Kublai Khan heard this, but insisted: "Please also ask the Prime Minister to help convey it!"
Shi Songzhi did not refuse, "I will send someone to inform you, but I don't know whether King Linyi will send it or not."
Kublai Khan said: "Just tell me!"
After speaking, Kublai Khan pulled the reins of his horse and returned to the team. Half an hour later, more than 12,000 Mongolian troops were at the foot of the mountain. They gathered for a while and then headed north in a mighty manner.
On the Song army's side, as soon as the Mongolian army left, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses followed and monitored the Mongolian army, keeping a distance of thirty miles, and sent the Mongolian army out as a courtesy.
In the Qi Army camp, Zhao Tai knew that today was the day to withdraw from the siege. All Qi Army units had already packed their gear and were only waiting for his order to return to Shandong.
"Your Majesty! All camps have been packed up." Wang Bin came over to report.
Zhao Tai stood in the camp, looking far away at the Mongolian troops coming down the mountain.
"Yes! I understand!" Zhao Tai nodded.
Wang Bin said: "Although it is easier for Kublai Khan, Song and Meng have already negotiated a peace, and now we can only let Kublai Khan cross the river."
Zhao Tai turned around and said, "Don't worry, military advisor. I don't want to ruin the peace agreement! After all, our strength is not strong enough to deal with Meng Song's anger at the same time!"
Wang Bin nodded: "After this peace negotiation, the world will have peace for several years! Your Majesty will take this opportunity to resume production and train the army. In less than five years, you will not be afraid of the Mongolian Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Tai nodded and was about to turn around and go back to his tent when Zhao Hu hurried over and said angrily: "Your Majesty, there is news from Shi Songzhi. Kublai Khan wants to meet the King and hopes that the King can send him across the river!"
"Oh?" Zhao Tai was not angry when he heard this, "Gu Zheng had such intention!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Tai ordered Wang Bin, "The military advisor will lead the infantry first, and the Tiger Cavalry camp will stay behind, and we will send the troops with you!"
…
After Kublai Khan came down from the mountain, he led more than 10,000 Mongolian troops to march north.
The Mongols were brutal and had extremely poor military discipline. They were trapped for several months. After they came out, they immediately started to act recklessly and ruined several villages along the way.
Although the Song army behind them was indignant, they had nothing to do and could only hope that they would cross the river as soon as possible.
At this time, Kublai Khan was riding on his horse with a rather complicated mood. On the one hand, he was happy to be able to return to the grassland, and on the other hand, he felt ashamed of the tragic defeat in Huainan.
At this time, he was riding on his horse, gritting his teeth, "Zhao Tai, it's all because of you that I am in today's predicament. However, although you defeated me, so what, I was sent out of the country by the Song Army!"
The words are bleak
