Chapter 469
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 peace talks are 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 has nothing to say.
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 probably could not stop the Mongolian and Song Dynasty from negotiating peace.
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 nothing to worry about!"
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 peace talks
, annihilated Kublai Khan and the 30,000 Mongolian troops in Hengjian Mountain. Mongolia was severely damaged by this, and within a few years, they would not dare to touch the king's army. In this way, if there was a conflict between the king and Lin'an, they would not be trapped in a short time
The situation of being attacked by Mongolia and Song Dynasty."
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 quite a lot 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 captured soldiers, but Zhao Tai estimates that, as Wang Bin said, if he recruits the captured Han army, his strength will be further enhanced.
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 your Majesty can do these two things, you can segregate Shandong. However, I believe that your Majesty's ambition will not stop there!"
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "What's the third thing?"
Wang Bin no longer wanted to be evasive, "The third thing is that once the Mongolian and Song Dynasties negotiated peace, the Southern Song Dynasty would legally abandon all the northern approaches, which would completely lose the hearts of the northerners and 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 Dynasty, and attack Lin'an for betraying the country and becoming a captive.
In the corner, if you don’t think about recovery, you will be ashamed of your ancestors. In this way, the king will occupy morality and win the hearts of the people, and the heroes of the world will surely rush to join him. At that time, the king will concentrate on 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 will
Then we can raise the banner on the side of Qingjun, 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, I suddenly became enlightened. If it becomes a big event in the future, I will definitely be rewarded by the Duke!"
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 decline of our Han family for three hundred years, restore the Han Dynasty to a heroic state, and make our Han children 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 was proclaimed his vassal by the barbarians, which made him heartbroken.
Zhao Tai was very moved when he heard Wang Bin's words. The emperor 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 his 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 fiercely. Although the Song army's various departments wanted to get a share of the pie, they did not dare to show their strength.
Wuxian guarded the vehicle and felt the unkind look from the imperial army. Without collecting the armor, weapons, and flags of the Mongolian troops on the battlefield, 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.
