Chapter 1404 1080. Redeployment
Qi Hongda finally stopped keeping his word and said, "Our emperor of our dynasty does not want to see the creatures of the two countries, and he is sympathetic to the people in the army. He is sincerely discussing peace. He asked me to come down and tell you that if you want Xiangyang Prefecture, I will send Xiangyang Prefecture to you. The emperor loves Princess Mingzhu the most. Not to mention Xiangyang, even the entire southwest road in Jingxi is given to you as a dowry."
This time it was Zhao Dongting's turn to be slightly stunned.
He really didn't expect that Qi Hongda's purpose of coming to see him would be this.
What is this?
Kublai Khan lost all his fighting spirit?
It was hard for Zhao Dongting to imagine that this would be Kublai Khan's decision. Because in his impression, Kublai Khan was definitely an iron-bone man who would rather break than bend.
This can be seen from the process of becoming prosperous in the Yuan Dynasty.
No matter who touches the Yuan Dynasty's brow, it's just a blow.
It was the first time in the Yuan Dynasty to give the princess and land.
In an instant, Zhao Dongting couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Toughness and weakness turned out to be the corresponding. The Yuan Dynasty was not as powerful as the Song Dynasty, so it turned out that it would also give in.
Kublai Khan returned the southwest road to the Song Dynasty, which could indeed save the Song Dynasty from a lot of trouble. In short, there is no need to let the imperial guards continue to fight with the Yuan army in the northern border.
Zhao Dongting thought he had taken a big advantage, so he did not continue to think too much.
Anyway, no matter what kind of thought Kublai Khan was holding, the Song Dynasty could get the entire Southwest Road without any effort, and it was a big advantage.
Even Zhao Dongting couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but say to Qi Hongda: "Mr. Qi, what you said is true? The emperor of the dynasty really wants to use the southwest road of Jing as his dowry?"
"yes."
Qi Hongda gave in and seemed neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhao Dongting's smile bloomed again and said, "Okay, then I will accept it with a smile."
Qi Hongda nodded slightly, "Then please give us some time, so that we can withdraw the officials from Jingxi South Road. Let's say goodbye."
After saying that, he slowly left the imperial study room.
As soon as I went out, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, when he looked back, he finally distracted Emperor Song and did not notice that something was wrong. Otherwise, he would be afraid that Emperor Song would be sneered at him.
Such things that require others to accept benefits are really difficult to do.
Zhao Dongting stayed in the imperial study room and muttered, "The Yuan Dynasty can't hold on anymore? Do you want to rest?"
Of course, he couldn't figure out the strange key, and he might not be willing to think about it.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Dongting ordered Eunuch Liu beside him: "Go to Xuan Yuepeng, Zhao Da, and Zhao Hu to see me in the imperial study."
He originally planned to let Yue Peng, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu lead their troops to Jiangling Prefecture and then explore the Yuan Dynasty to react. Now the Yuan Dynasty is even willing to give up the entire southwest road of Jingxi, so the northern border will not start war again.
Zhao Dongting didn't think Qi Hongda would be here to deceive him.
Because the Yuan Dynasty had no such motive at all.
I would never directly disperse the troops in the northern border just because of Qi Hongda's words. Could the Yuan Dynasty still find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?
Since war is unlikely to start again in northern Xinjiang, Zhao Dongting certainly has to consider re-arrangement of the Onorient policy.
The Yuan Dynasty was vast in the northern border, with Huannan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, Liangzhe West Road and other places as buffers. It was indeed not the place where Zhao Dongting planned to plan now.
It is easier to take Shuzhong and Dali than to destroy Yuan.
Moreover, Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei and others were already coming to attack the city and capture the village, and Zhao Dongting and Li Xiushu secretly jointly prepared to destroy Xinsong. It was not convenient to change their strategic policies at this time.
First destroy the New Song Dynasty, Dali, and then the Tuyuan Dynasty. This is a strategy that Zhao Dongting had set earlier, and now he must continue to follow this strategy.
"emperor!"
Not long after, Yue Peng, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu were all taken to the imperial study room. Just as they were about to kneel down, they were relieved by Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting looked at Yue Peng and said directly: "Yue Peng, when can the army set out for Jiangling Prefecture?"
Yue Peng replied: "Return to the emperor, the Tiankui army is ready and can set off at any time!"
"Um!"
Zhao Dongting nodded, "Then you will lead the Tiankui army to Xiangyang Prefecture tomorrow."
Yue Peng was surprised, "Go to Xiangyang Prefecture?"
Zhao Dongting nodded affirmatively, "If there is no accident, the Yuan Dynasty should have given up the entire southwest road of Jingxi. Within a few days, their army stationed in our northern borders should also retreat. It is no longer necessary to station Jiangling Prefecture to shock them. Go straight to Xiangyang Prefecture. I want you to take Tianjie and Tianxiong along the southwest road of Jingxiong to strive to meet with Tianmeng and Tianyong in Kuizhou Road as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, do you want to buy Xinsong?"
Yue Peng's eyes emitted light and he asked.
Zhao Dongting suddenly laughed unpredictable, "The New Song must be fighting. But before the New Song, you may have to help the Western Xia Empress first."
Yue Peng was confused.
Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "I'll talk about it later. I will send a message to you again at that time."
He didn't know when Li Xiushu would attack Pang Hongguang and others, so he didn't know if Yue Peng could rush over in time, so he didn't plan to say more.
It is still a secret that Li Xiushu wants to attack Pang Hongguang and others. Even those ministers of the Song Dynasty court knew very little.
Seeing Zhao Dongting like this, Yue Peng bowed and agreed, only asking Zhao Dongting, "Emperor, what's the matter of food and grass?"
His army traveled a long distance from Kuizhou Road to Changsha. Although there were cities supporting food and grass on the way, there was not much food and grass until now.
After all, the food accumulated in the Song Dynasty has been limited in the past two years, and many granaries have been burned by the rioters. So far, as Qi Hongda said, it has reached a very tight level.
Almost all the food that can be drawn out in various places has been drawn out.
Even so, Yue Peng's army did not have much surplus food.
Speaking of this, even Zhao Dongting couldn't help but frown slightly.
It’s not that he can’t raise food and grass, but that this kind of thing is too hard and labors, which always makes people feel a little irritable.
But there is no way, who made him the emperor?
After sighing in his heart, Zhao Dongting said: "For food and grass, please take some food and grass out of the city from the granary in the city first. When you arrive in Xiangyang Prefecture, all the food and grass in the prefectures belong to you. When you go west again, you can buy food in every prefecture and town along the way. If the officials of the Yuan Dynasty do not allow it, they will be killed directly. If it is not enough, I will find a way to raise it for you."
Yue Peng nodded slightly, his face excited.
He knew that there would inevitably be another battle after he arrived in Dazhou.
Next to him, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu were also looking at Zhao Dongting with a gaze, but there was no light coming out.
Yue Peng got a good job leading his army to Dazhou, but they were quite envious.
Seeing Zhao Dongting, Yue Peng and the others finally finished speaking. Zhao Da couldn't help asking: "Emperor, where are our Feilong Army going?"
His eyes were like a stone looking at his husband, and his eyes made Zhao Dongting feel numb all over. He also remembered the experience of being washed by these two black men in Baicao Valley.
This made the smile on his face dissipate.
Zhao Dongting suddenly became a little unhappy, "The Flying Dragon Army will not go anywhere. I am in Changsha. Doesn't Changsha need to be guarded?"
Zhao Da and Zhao Hu were stunned, unable to understand why the emperor's face suddenly turned cloudy.
Did the brothers say something wrong?
Zhao Hu looked at Zhao Da with some resentment.
Because he didn't say anything just now, it was just that Zhao Dagang's words were offended by the emperor.
Zhao Da's face was confused.
I just asked the emperor where the Feilong Army was going. Is this a wrong thing?
Just looking at Zhao Dongting's annoying face, neither of the brothers dared to say anything else.
What they fear most were the two wives in their family with amazing martial arts cultivation, but the one they respected the most was undoubtedly the current emperor Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting recreated his kindness to them.
When Zhao Dongting saw the brothers looking stupid, he suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.
He held back and waved his hand unhappily, "You are staying in Changsha City. You may have to follow me to Liangzhe West Road in a while."
Zhao Da blinked his eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you going to Liangzhe West Road?"
Zhao Dongting covered his forehead and rolled his eyes, "The Yuan Dynasty negotiated peace talks and brought Huainan West Road, Liangzhe West Road and other places to our Song Dynasty. The former country Lin'an Prefecture was within Liangzhe West Road. I promised the old ministers in the court and the old soldiers on the island of Qizhou. I waited to recover Lin'an Prefecture to negotiate peace talks and would take them to the head of Lin'an City! What do you think I'm going to do?"
"oh……"
