Chapter 115: Storm

An officer of the imperial battalion was stopped by the chamberlain outside the hall and shouted loudly.

"What's loud outside the hall?" Lan Yu came to the outside of the hall at the sign of Zhao Gu.

Seeing Lan Kui coming out, the people outside the hall bowed their hands and said, "I'm sorry to report to the emperor. The three envoys of the State of Jin saw that your majesty had not been seen for a long time and wanted to break into the palace. They were stopped by the palace guards. The two sides started to take action and were injured by a warrior of the Jin envoy. They are now deadlocked."

Lan Wei came from the north with Zhao Gou and has always been lingering for the Jin people. Hearing the bodyguard say this, her face changed, "Wait." I hurried into the hall.

After listening to Lan Gu's whisper beside him, Zhao Gu on the dragon chair, his face was uncertain. Everyone didn't know what had happened. They all looked at Zhao Gu. Zhao Gu motioned Lan Gu with his side face, and Lan Gu immediately announced the golden hall of the bodyguard outside the hall.

The bodyguard said what he had just said in the hall again. After hearing this, everyone was full of anger and said secretly, "The golden envoy is simply bullying too much. Is there really no one to take me in the Song Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Ding was the most anxious and said first, "The Jin people bullied too much. Your Majesty must not condone the nonsense of the golden envoy."

Zhao Gu's meaning at this time is to turn big things into small things and small things into small things. He summoned Jin to appease him and was affected by the negotiations because of this.

But he saw that His Highness was full of righteous indignation, which could not be said anyway, so he looked at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was originally considering how to deal with this matter, but he hasn't thought about it yet, but when he saw Zhao Gu's eyes looking over, he could not allow him to think too much and came out and said, "I, Xiao Yan has something to say. To say."

"Present, it is not appropriate for us to conflict with the golden people now, so as not to affect the peace talks." While saying that in Zhao's heart, Zhao Gu's face was slightly relaxed, and then said, "But it is a great sin for the golden envoy to break into the palace. The emperor is kind and generous, and he can not care about their guilt. The ministers are also deeply proud of the emperor's generosity."

After talking for a long time, he didn't say anything, but after a flattery, Zhao Gu's face was obviously much better and nodded to signal Xiao Yan to continue.

"Your Excellency is furious, which shows the attitude of my Song officials towards those who violate our law, for the dignity of the emperor. As the saying goes, 'the king insults the death of ministers' can be seen from the loyalty and patriotism of all the adults."

One didn't fall, and the flatter was enough. Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall softened Xiao Yan's tone suddenly changed, his face pulled down, "Your Majesty, today I received an urgent report from Jiankang that the State of Jin raised a large army and claimed to be 700,000 and stationed in Jiangbei."

"Ah!" Zhao Gou on the dragon chair shouted and fell back. Lan Jue on the side hurried to help him, shouting, "Send the doctor, send the doctor."

There was also a panic in the hall.

"calm down!" Xiao Yan looked at the chaotic hall and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is just in a hurry. It's okay."

Xiao Yan took a few steps quickly, came to the throne, and pinched Zhao Gu's people, "Love you! But it's true." Zhao Gou, who slowly woke up, was pale and asked in the first sentence.

Seeing Xiao Yan nodding, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he were extremely weak. Xiao Yan knew Zhao Gu's thoughts.

After he slowed down for a while, he said softly in his ear, "Your Majesty, take care of your body. This time the Jin people's dispatch is the best opportunity for us. I am sure that they will never come back, and finally take the initiative to make peace with us."

"Ah! Really." Zhao Gou seemed to have his buttocks pricked with a needle, and almost jumped up and touched Xiao Yan's head.

Xiao Yan secretly slandered himself, "The change is too obvious."

When His Highness's ministers saw Xiao Yan go up for a while, they didn't know what had done. Zhao Gu suddenly recovered and secretly surprised himself. Because Xiao Yan turned his back to the ministers and did something, only Lan Kui knew, but the ministers could not see it, but he still admired Xiao Yan very much.

Seeing that Zhao Gou woke up, Xiao Yan slowly stepped down and bowed to Zhao Gou again. "Your Majesty, the Jin people stationed troops in Jiangbei this time is nothing more than putting pressure on us to aggravate the weight in the peace talks, but we can make plans and prepare to fight while talking. If there is a chance to eat some of the golden soldiers and injuring them. Qi, you should know that the better the front, the more favorable it will be for us to negotiate later.

Xiao Yan said this. Seeing that his empty words had little effect, he knew that he needed to make some sharp news. He paused and said word by word, "Wan Zongbi, the marshal of the left army of the State of Jin, has been trapped in Shangyuanmen by Jiankang garrison. The Jin soldiers who came to reinforce have been repulsed by us several times. Recently, in the war report, Wanyan Zongbi's grain and fodder It has been almost reported to Xin. I guess the Jin people are more anxious than us at this time. I think this is also the reason why the Jin envoy is anxious to see the emperor.

As soon as Xiao Yan's words fell, there was a roar in the hall. Others said that Wanyan Zongbi, this southern invasion was led by him. In the eyes of the Song people, he was synonymous with the butcher and the creator of the nightmare of the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly trapped in Jiankang, it is not impossible to listen to Xiao Yan and capture him alive.

Today's Zhao Gu originally thought that today's court meeting would be very easy, but he didn't expect that the arrival of Jin Shi basically became a military meeting, which made these generals and those who had insisted on the Northern Expedition very excited, and those civil servants were happy under Xiao Yan's shock, and they could not interfere in the military, so they could only listen to Where do people live for nothing?

Zhao Gu also seemed to slowly recover at this time. After all, he was the emperor. Although he was cowardly weak, he still had something to do when things came to the end. He sat on the dragon chair and listened to the generals talking about it.

Xiao Yan did not make a sound at this time, but just listened quietly. After a while, Xiao Yan heard the general meaning. He still had to focus on the Jiankang garrison, and the rest of the forbidden army was responsible for assisting. Yue Fei made a proposal on the side. Xiao Yan was his apprentice, and he was also a resolute main war faction. Public and private will not sit idly by.

This time, Wang Jun, who took the initiative to go to Sichuan, also responded to Yue Fei's proposal. Xiao Yan led Jiankang garrison to resist the attack of Jin soldiers head-on, mainly for defense. Yue Fei's Xiangyang garrison had Tangzhou sent troops to approach Zhengzhou and Kaifeng to bluff. After Wang Jun arrived in Sichuan, together with the Wu brothers in Sichuan, Fengxiang sent troops to attack Jin. Later, Lu Yihao of Jianghuai sent troops to harass Anqing. Han Shizhong of Zhenjiang will not hand over for the time being to fully assist Xiao Yan in defending the front line along the river.

Xiao Yan felt that it was basically the same as what he thought. When Zhao Gu asked him, Xiao Yan said thoughtfully, "I suggest that Zhenjiang send some sea boats to go to sea along the river, make a big deal to attack Shandong Hebei, and take out the golden people's nest. They will not sit idly by. If they send people to block it, it will inevitably be involved. If they ignore some of the troops, we will fake it and attack the Jin people in the offshore area.

He listened attentively and said, "We still need to send people to Jiangbei to contact the anti-Jin Rebel Army in Jiangbei and make trouble on the territory of the Jin people, mainly aiming at today's food and fodder and military salaries. In this way, as long as we can persist for two or three months, I'm afraid that time Jinren will be in a hurry to negotiate with us.

"What about these golden messengers now?" Xie Ke, the new minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, asked.

"Cold!" Xiao Yan laughed and used a joke from later generations, "Negotiation still needs to be discussed, but we must first defeat the arrogance of the golden man."
