At Ligu Ferry, Han Li looked at the countless flags floating on the river beach and was secretly annoyed. Tens of thousands of Song troops who suddenly arrived quickly occupied the ferry and blocked their way south. What was even more annoying was that

The banner that the handsome flag was flying was actually "Follow the imperial edict and negotiate for peace". Is this guy here for peace talks or for war?

"Tell the people of the Song Dynasty that this commander is here to pick up the peace envoys and go to the camp!" Han Li ordered in a deep voice. Immediately, a general ordered a group of cavalry Pegasus to go to the Song army to spread the word. He wanted to see

How could the people of Song Dynasty have such courage to challenge themselves?

It didn't take long before the Song camp's medium-sized cannons were fired. The gate of the village opened. A group of rangers rushed out and paraded in front of the Jin army's formation. Then a group of archers rushed out to shoot at the formation's feet. Then a large group of soldiers and horses came out of the camp.

A swallow-shaped formation was formed, with more than 10,000 infantry holding spears and large shields in front, crossbow troops at the back, and more than 1,000 cavalry on each wing to protect the two wings.

"Marshal Han of the Jin army, please come forward and answer!" After the formation was completed, a Song general flew to the front of the formation and shouted loudly.

"The people who beg for peace are still so rampant!" A general behind Han Bubu cursed angrily. He picked up his bow and arrow and shot at the Song general in front of the formation. The Song general on the opposite side fell back in response to the sound, and the Jin army

There was a burst of cheers.

"It's disrespectful to come back!" The Song Jun who was attacked straightened up and sat up from his horse. It turned out that he had caught the arrow in his hand. He shouted, picked up his bow and shot the arrow back.

The golden general was still stunned when the arrow arrived. It was too late to hide. The arrow hit his throat. He screamed and fell off his horse. Han Li didn't rush to call for help, but blood gushed out from the man's mouth and he twitched for two seconds.

I lost my breath!

"General Xiao is mighty!" The drums of the Song Army camp were beating loudly, and all the troops cheered in unison.

"Prince Yan, please answer me in front of the battle!" Han Li felt depressed as he watched General Song leave An Ran. But something bad happened because his own people stabbed others first. He deserved to be shot with a backhand, but he was injured.

The general did not say anything but let Song Jun suppress his momentum. He could only temporarily suppress his anger and call for a reply.

After several exchanges, the two sides agreed to start the first round of negotiations in front of the formation. Han Libu and Liu Yanzong were on one side, and Zhao Tong and Wang Yun were on the other side. Each led fifty guards to the center of the two armies.

"Prince Yan is such a heroic young man!" Although he hated Zhao Tong deeply, Han Li couldn't help but praise him when he saw him.

"Marshal is too praised, I am not worthy of it!" Zhao Tong looked Han Li up and down and immediately raised his hand and replied.

"Since Prince Yan is here for peace talks, why did he bring the army here?" Han Li didn't ask first.

"Haha. What is the marshal here for?" Zhao Tong asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm here for peace talks!" Hanli Buxin asked, isn't this nonsense, and replied without hesitation.

"Oh, since the marshal is here for peace talks, what is behind the marshal?" Zhao Tong said slightly surprised.

"Ahem..." Of course those people behind him were not beasts. Han Li coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "I led my troops here to welcome the prince to my camp!" He said through gritted teeth.

There is a faint hint of threat in it.

"Thank you Marshal, but I am naturally timid. I heard that the Marshal led tens of thousands of troops to burn, kill, and loot all the way to greet me. I was even more frightened, so I had to gather some rough men from the countryside on the road to strengthen my courage. Is it possible that the Marshal is more courageous than the Marshal?

Am I still cowardly?" Zhao Tong said calmly.

"In my opinion, you brought the troops here without any sincerity in peace talks. Aren't you afraid that our Dajin Heavenly Soldiers will trample you into pieces?" Zhao Tanming sarcastically made Han Li feel frustrated and annoyed Liu Yanzong behind him. He jumped

He came out and yelled loudly.

"Who are you?" Zhao Tong glanced at him and curled his lips and asked.

"My official, the envoy of the Privy Council of Dajinnan, is Liu Yanzong!" Liu Yanzong said with his chest straightened out.

"Oh. What a good dog name!" Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Why are you uttering obscene words and insulting me? Don't people in the Song Dynasty know etiquette?" Liu Yanzong was furious, pointed at Zhao Tong and asked.

"Etiquette, you also know etiquette! Don't you know that 'a good horse does not deserve two saddles, and a good girl does not marry two husbands'? It's no wonder that the book has been read into the dog's belly. It is not unusual to say such a thing!" Zhao Tao

The smile didn't change and he smiled.

"A good bird chooses trees to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve! What does a shameless boy know?" Liu Yanzong knew that King Yan was ridiculing him for betraying Liao and serving Jin Dynasty. This was a sore point for him, and he immediately became angry.

"Learn from the 'bird', of course you do the 'bird' thing, but after all, you are still a flat-haired beast!" Zhao Tao snorted coldly.

"You..." The other party secretly changed the concept and scolded him again, but Liu Yanzong was a scholar after all. He had read a lot of books, but he had never encountered such an unreasonable master. He couldn't curse and was unreasonable.

I haven’t learned it yet, and I don’t know how to deal with it for a while.

"Are you trying to say that you are just a beast, pretending to be powerful, betraying your ancestors, and having no sense of shame? It would be better to fall off your horse and be killed, right?" Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"King Yan, please stop being so quick-tongued and come back with me to talk with me!" Han Li said coldly, knowing that he was no match for a quarrel.

"If you don't go, I won't be able to come back!" Zhao Tong said with a smile still on his face.

"No, we will let you go after we finish the peace negotiation and sign the contract!" Han Li said in shock, thinking that this Prince Yan is really a cheerful person and can speak his mind!

"Prince Su has not come back after half a year, and you have repeatedly broken the contract and secretly sent people to attack and kill the king. I really can't trust you!" Zhao Tong said leisurely with the same cynical smile.

"I, the Jurchen, are the most loyal people and always mean what I say. King Yan, don't talk nonsense. If you are afraid of death, just say you are afraid of death. Why make random excuses!" Han Libu said angrily as he looked at him and became more and more angry.

"I am afraid of death. Isn't the marshal afraid of death? Otherwise, why would he wear a helmet? He is not afraid of death. If you are really not afraid of death, how about you follow me back to the camp!" Zhao Tong pointed to his camp and said

.

"You... why did I follow you back to the camp? I'm not a hostage!" Han Libu's fire was so teased that he almost lost control and followed him back, "You slandered me and sent people to attack you.

, and what evidence is there? If you can’t produce it, I will definitely not bypass you!”

"Oh, scare me!" Zhao Tong pointed at Han Li and said with a smile. He waved his hand, and the guard behind him immediately stepped forward and handed over a leather bag. He reached out and touched it and took out a token, "This token

But those from the Marshal's Army took advantage of the heavy snowfall to attack my convoy ten miles west of Ye Town the day before yesterday, and this is the token they captured!"

"This..." Han Li was sure that he had sent it without taking a glance, but he did not want to bear the charge of attacking the peace envoy and sabotaging the peace treaty. "What can one token mean? I send out dozens of them a day, maybe it's..."

What was lost was found by you!”

"Haha, it seems that the second prince is not very smart. To tell you the truth, all the attackers have been captured by me. The leader is named Hu Liai. His confession is that he was ordered by the marshal to attack and kill me. The one who gets the head will be the official.

Is it okay to be promoted to captain of a thousand men and rewarded with a hundred taels of gold?" Zhao Tong threw the skin bag to Han Li without saying.

"You actually killed them all?!" Han Libu checked the number plate in his bag and exclaimed.

"That's right, if the wolves haven't eaten them all, you can still collect their bodies for them!" Zhao Tong sighed and said.

"If you dare to kill me, the Golden Warrior, I will make you pay with your life!" Han Li didn't see the number plate, and when he heard Zhao Tiao call out Hu Liai's name, he knew it was true. Think about the fact that five hundred people were killed.

, was led by him in an understatement, and he could no longer suppress his anger, pointing at Zhao Tong and shouting.

"Hmph, there are more than tens of millions of Jurchens who have died at the hands of this king. If you want to claim your life, you can come and take it. I will wait for you!" Zhao Tong said back on his horse, leading the people to leave. Hanli stared at them with big eyes.

I'm at a loss. This Prince Yan is a bit too arrogant. He doesn't have the consciousness to be a hostage at all!

"Second Prince, since you violated the peace agreement and attacked and killed the envoy, we have reported to our emperor to ask for a decision!" At this time, Wang Yun stepped forward and said.

"Sir Wang, if we wait until we cross the Yellow River to talk about it, the Yellow River will not be used as the boundary. Please inform your emperor!" Liu Yanzong said fiercely.

"Then let's wait until you cross the Yellow River to discuss this condition!" Wang Yun said coldly, and then rode away to catch up with the prince.

"Let's go!" Han Li couldn't look at him. The Song army guard swallowed his saliva and watched King Yan and others leave. He thought to himself why the Song people suddenly became tough. Could it be that they were already prepared!

………

Zhao Tan used the excuse of being attacked to refuse to go to Jin camp as hostage. Wang Yun and Nie Shan were also frightened in Cizhou. They knew how unpopular the peace proposal was among the people, and they were grateful that Wang Yun helped them relieve the siege in Cizhou.

Their lives were saved. What’s more, they knew that the current situation was that all three of them were tied to a rope.

So everyone jointly submitted a report to the emperor, stating what they saw and heard, which showed that the current Jin army's attempt to cross the Yellow River was beyond the peace talks. The attack on King Yan also showed that this was a trick of the Jurchens, deliberately creating trouble for the sake of peace.

Continue to attack Bianjing to create excuses, and ask the Holy Spirit to decide whether to talk or not.

And Zhao Tong understood the harm of the alliance under the city. Even if the Jurchens really withdraw their troops in accordance with the peace agreement, the price paid by the Song Dynasty is by no means as simple as just ceding territory. War reparations and annual coins will be a heavy burden, and these burdens still have to be passed on.

On the heads of the people, it will be given year after year. Then the Song Dynasty, which has lost half of its country, will be overwhelmed financially. It will not be destroyed by foreign enemies in a few years, but it will also be destroyed by civil strife!

Zhao Tong explained this truth to everyone in the mission. They were not stupid. Of course, they also understood that negotiating according to the Jin army's conditions at this time was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. Therefore, an agreement was finally reached. Even if the peace was negotiated, it could not all be based on the Jurchens' rules.
Chapter completed!
