"I know that you have all resented the Jin people for a long time, but after all, we have received a lot of favors from the Jin country. We can't be so ruthless and unjust and betray the Jin country like this!"
"And I don't think Xu Xian is reliable. After all, what he will face in the future is a joint crusade from the Song Ting and the Jin Kingdom!"
"If we follow Xu Xian, there will be no turning back and we will fall into an endless war!"
"Although Xu Xian now occupies the land of Yiluo, he still does not have a stable supply of food and baggage. I think you will know better than me, Zhang Zhongyan, what we will face if we follow him, right?"
"So you must think about it!"
Zhang Zhongyan stated his interests to his subordinates.
"We figured it out!"
"Instead of following the Tatars and being bullied all the time, it's better to follow Xu Xianbo once!"
"And even if Xu Xian does not intend to regain the Central Plains by then, we can leave it at any time, disarm and return home!"
"Although Naxuxian does not have stable supplies, as long as our Guanzhong develops, there will be no shortage of food, and we can also help Naxuxian trade with the Western Regions!"
"So we don't have to worry about food and baggage!"
"General Zhang, as long as you say a word, we can join the Ming army with you at any time, General!"
These generals seemed to have made up their minds.
"All right!"
"Since you are all willing to join Xu Xianming's army, then I will go negotiate with them tomorrow!"
Zhang Zhongyan actually wanted to surrender after seeing Tudan Hexi's firearms.
So after some negotiations, Zhang Zhongyan formally surrendered to Xu Xian's army.
Later, Tu Dan Hexi and Yue Lin led their troops into Guanzhong and began to deal with some officials in Guanzhong who had been appointed by the Jin State, as well as the Jin State soldiers who had resisted.
After the news of Xu Xian's army breaking through the pass reached Daming Mansion, Wan Yanyong, who was preparing to command the army to go south, was also furious.
"This...this Zhongyan, I have raised it for so many years in the Great Jin Kingdom, but it is still an unfamiliar thief wolf, and it actually led its troops to surrender to Xu Xian!"
"Okay...ok...I, Wanyanyong, will definitely kill you with my own hands...kill that Xu Xian!"
"Whoever comes, give orders immediately!"
"I want to cross the Yellow River and defeat those Ming thieves!"
Wanyanyong was impatient and wanted to go south.
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient!"
"Don't be impatient!"
"Even if we want to attack Xu Xian, we must first unite with those Song people in the south to attack Xu Xian together!"
Prime Minister Zhang Hao immediately came over to persuade him.
"Unite those Song people?"
"Do you think those Song people are reliable?"
"They have been saying that they want to attack the Xu thief before, but they haven't sent any troops yet. Instead, they are watching the Xu thief occupy Luoyang, and they even gave the Xu thief the title of King Xu!"
"You are still waiting for the Song people to send troops. Aren't you deceiving yourself and others?"
Wan Yanyong refuted Zhang Hao.
"Those Song people used the appeasement strategy before, but they just hoped that Xu Xian and us would both suffer losses, and they just wanted to reap the benefits!"
"And now Xu Xian's power has become more powerful and has begun to threaten the Song Dynasty, so the Song emperor cannot continue to sit idly by and ignore it!"
"Instead of us fighting to the death with that Xu Xian, wouldn't it be better to let the Song people fight among themselves?"
"What's more, Your Majesty has only just ascended the throne and your position is not strong enough. If anything goes wrong at this time, people with ulterior motives may take the opportunity to cause chaos!"
"So Your Majesty, you must not be too anxious. Just wait for Emperor Song to send someone to beg you!"
Zhang Hao continued to persuade.
"At this time, you still want me to wait for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to come and beg me?"
"What are your intentions?"
Wan Yanyong seemed a little suspicious of Zhang Hao.
"Your Majesty!"
"I, Zhang Hao, dare to swear that if the people of Song Dynasty do not come to ask for your cooperation within seven days, I, Zhang Hao, will be at your mercy, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Hao certainly did not want Wan Yanyong to rush south and send troops.
After all, Zhang Hao knows that the situation in the north is inherently unstable. If Wan Yanyong forces himself to go south to attack Xu Xian, it is likely to cause chaos in Yanjing and another change of throne in the Jin Kingdom. As the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Hao
What Hao least expected to see.
However, after waiting in Daming Mansion for six days, the Song envoy never arrived.
Zhang Hao was naturally anxious at this time. While he began to send people around to find out if there was any news about anyone coming from the south, he also went directly to the south of the city to wait in person.
In fact, Zhang Hao had heard about the envoy sent by the Song Dynasty before, otherwise he would not have rashly promised to his Emperor Wan Yanyong.
Yuejia Village is more than 20 miles south of Daming Mansion.
"I heard that the prime minister swore to the emperor that within seven days, an envoy from the Song Dynasty would come to Daming Mansion!"
"It's already the seventh day, and the Song envoy hasn't come yet!"
"It seems that the prime minister's life is about to be lost!"
"Anyway, we are Han people, not Tatars. Why do you care about so many things?"
"Anyway, the Tatar Emperor and the Tatar Prime Minister are not good people, so it is a good thing for the Tatar Prime Minister to be the Tatar Emperor!"
"But this Prime Minister Zhang Hao has always treated us Han people well. If the Tatar Emperor changes to a cruel Prime Minister in the future, how will we live?"
"Are there any good people among the Tatars?"
"Think about how the previous Tatar emperors bullied us Han people. In fact, in comparison, the Tatar emperor Wan Yanliang who just died was the best emperor to us Han people. Otherwise, he would not be reused.
Zhang Hao!"
Two farmers were doing farm work in the field and talking at the same time.
"Two uncles!"
"How far is it from Daming Mansion?"
Suddenly, a Song official appeared in front of the two farmers.
"This place is exactly twenty miles away from Daming Mansion!"
"You...are you the Song envoy from the south?"
One of the farmers saw the Song official and immediately asked.
"I am Tang Situi, the envoy of the Song Dynasty!"
"I was ordered by the emperor to go to Daming Mansion to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom!"
It turned out that the Song envoy was Tang Situi.
"That's it!"
"Then according to this, you are the savior of our Prime Minister Zhang Hao!"
"Hurry up and go to Daming Mansion!"
"If you don't make it to Daming Mansion today, our Prime Minister will die!"
said a farmer.
"Why, your Prime Minister is dead!"
"I don't understand what you are saying?"
Naturally, Tang Situi could not understand what the farmer said.
"Don't you know that our Prime Minister Zhang made an oath to our Holy One?"
"If the envoy of the Song Dynasty cannot come to Daming Mansion to see our Holy Majesty within seven days, then our Prime Minister Zhang Hao will be willing to let the Holy Majesty deal with him!"
Another farmer explained immediately.
"That's it!"
"It seems that I, Tang Si, will be able to fulfill my mission on this mission to the Kingdom of Jin!"
After Tang Side heard the news, he was naturally a little excited. After all, didn't he get the handle on the Prime Minister of Jin for nothing?
