In the eyes of Zhang Bangchang and others, life in the Jin Army camp was like living in hell.
But in Li Yunze's view, it was an opportunity to go deep into the enemy's camp and investigate the enemy's strength.
The source and composition of the soldiers in the army, what is the armor coverage rate, whether the weapons are replenished in time, what level of tactical skills are there, what is the general's fighting style, and what is his temperament
There were many things that he didn't understand at all before, or even didn't know at all. After experiencing so many worlds, they became as easy to understand in his eyes as one, two, three, four, five.
After many days of observation, Li Yunze came to a conclusion that was not optimistic.
The Jin Kingdom's East Route Army, which had already reached the outside of Bianliang City, was undoubtedly the strongest in terms of combat effectiveness among the many opponents Li Yunze had ever experienced.
Hou Jin is not worth mentioning. Even the Meng Yuan cavalry cannot compare with the combat effectiveness of the Jin army at this time.
And this is just the East Route Army, there is also a West Route Army that is said to be more powerful.
The two armies of the Jin Kingdom in the east and west, each with an army of 100,000 households and 200,000 troops, are undoubtedly the ceiling of combat effectiveness in this era.
"Even if I lift Yue Fei up now, it will still be quite choked."
Li Yunze was sitting in the tent, thinking hard about how to deal with Jin Guo, whose combat power was at its peak.
There was the sound of intensive horse hooves outside, and a large group of Jin soldiers rushed in, completely surrounding the Song envoy's camp.
The Jin people roared angrily, and drew out their swords with murderous intent to summon all the Song people to come out.
Ready to open the space-time gate at any time and run away, Li Yunze stepped out.
The leader of the visitors was still the Fourth Prince Wanyan Wushu. He stood up on horseback with an angry look on his face: "You and others from the Song Dynasty are so rude. We clearly agreed to come to peace talks, so why did you send troops and horses to attack the camp at night? You and others."
If you are so dishonest, could it be that you are cheating on me with my golden sword?"
The surrounding Jin soldiers roared in agreement, waving various weapons incessantly, and the people of Song Dynasty were so frightened that they lay on the ground shivering at a loss.
Wanyan Wushu looked specifically at Li Yunze.
To his disappointment, everyone in the Song delegation knelt down, except Li Yunze who still stood upright.
Wanyan Wushu felt inexplicably unhappy, and when he subconsciously wanted to scold him, Zhang Bangchang burst into tears and kowtowed to Wanyan Wushu, "Your Majesty, it's none of our business."
Li Yunze and Wanyan Wushu both frowned with contempt on their faces.
It's not impossible to fear death and pray for life, but you also have to pay attention to your image.
They are all very old, and even if they directly shout, "Down with the coward, I want to surrender," it is better than crying in fear like this.
The Jin people, who had been deeply in awe because of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, once again despised it.
Wanyan Wushu ignored everyone and looked directly at Li Yunze, "Prince Kang, do you have nothing to say?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Yunze blurted out, "What's there to say?"
"You, the Song State, did not keep your word and sent troops to attack our army camp during the peace talks." Wanyan Wushu was surprised, "How come this is not a big deal in your opinion?"
"The peace talks are peace talks, but they haven't been concluded yet."
He was also suffocating in his heart. Zhang Bangchang was still a prime minister, and he was called the father-in-law.
These cowardly people with big headscarves have really disgraced the Han family.
They are like the literati of the Han and Tang dynasties. They can talk about Taoism when dismounted, and can kill people when mounted. And most of them are full of integrity. They would rather herd sheep in the ice and snow of the North Sea for more than ten years, rather than lose their reputation.
Nothing compared to them.
Ever since there was Sima Guang, the timid bandanas have been completely ruined.
"Since the negotiation has not been concluded, we still have to fight." Li Yunze, who was holding back his emotions, could not suppress his anger. "What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get a certain big exception at the negotiation table."
Wu Lin's eyes lit up as he followed, "Your Majesty, what you said is reasonable. You can't get it on the battlefield, and it's even less true during peace talks. If the Song Dynasty can attack our army, then our army can too." Attack Bianliang City!"
"Then let's fight."
Li Yunze looked indifferent, "If you have the ability, we will capture Bianliang City. That way there will be no need for peace talks. Just go and get what you want."
Wanyan Wushu was silent for a moment, anger welling up in his heart.
If I could conquer Bianliang City, why would I be talking nonsense to you here?
As early as the late Tang Dynasty, Bianliang was the site of the Four Battles, and the king's flag changed on the city head every three days.
Since that time, the repair and reinforcement of Bianliang City has never stopped.
After a cup of wine, the military power was released, and it was determined that this place would become the capital of the Great Coward. It was reinforced and repaired year by year. The city was covered with various defensive facilities. The East Route Army was not sure of completely defeating it.
Moreover, the Western Route Army is now entangled under Taiyuan City, and the Western Army, the last main field force of the Song Dynasty, is gathering on a large scale and heading here.
Precisely because they knew they couldn't defeat it now, they thought of paying a sum of money to withdraw their troops and wait until next year.
This thought was exposed by Li Yunze on the spot, and the young fourth prince obviously couldn't hold back his anger.
Ulin replied to Zanmo and pulled his horse's rein, "Fourth Prince, please don't be angry, or you will lose your identity."
Ten years later, Wanyan Wushu can be called the real boss of the Jin Army.
But now, Nianhan is still there, the second and third princes are still there, Wanyan Lou is still there, and many of the famous generals and veterans who founded the country are still there.
At this time, he was just an ordinary clan member with military power.
After looking at Li Yunze silently for a while, Wanyan Wushu sneered, turned his horse's head and led everyone away from the camp.
After going out, he simply said to Wulin Zanmo, "This person is definitely not a descendant of the Zhao Song royal family. He must be a fake found by them because they are afraid of me, Da Jin. Go ahead and scold the Zhao Song official and let him Send a real prince over."
Wulin replied that Zanmo was also deeply puzzled.
If King Kang of Zhao and Song Dynasty was really so capable, why didn't the people of Song Dynasty choose him as emperor, instead, they found a loser who could only be submissive?
Jin people value ability, but Zhao Song's ability is not the first priority.
The Jin people arose among the white mountains and black waters, not long after they had left fishing and hunting.
Although the higher-ups know some Sinology, they still don’t understand the profound Taoism inside.
In their view, since the heir is so outstanding, of course he must meet Banbo Jilie (the crown prince) before inheriting the throne.
After all, only leaders with outstanding abilities can lead everyone from victory to victory.
It is precisely because of this that even Wulin Dazanmo believed that Li Yunze, who was completely different from the prince of Zhao Song, was a fake.
Next year, after experiencing the baptism of those Han civilian officials who surrendered, they will no longer think so.
On the fifth day of the second lunar month, Zhao Huan, frightened by the Jin man's threats, hurriedly pushed Zhao Shu, the fifth king of Su, to be the scapegoat.
When Li Yunze saw Zhao Shu, he was also disgusted.
This guy cried bitterly, with tears and snot pouring down his face uncontrollably. He collapsed on the ground and couldn't help him up. He really embodied the word cowardice and incompetence to the fullest.
Wulin Dazanmo, Wanyan Wushu and others all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhao Shu's performance.
This is how they think the children of the Zhao Song royal family should behave.
"I do not care who you are."
When seeing off Li Yunze and returning to Bianliang City, Wanyan Wushu's expression was full of eagerness to try, "I hope we can meet on the battlefield one day and try your archery skills."
After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and left with his men.
Li Yunze picked his ears and said, "Shoot you to death."
On the way to the rotation camp, Wanyan Wushu looked at Wulin beside him with confusion and asked Zanmo, "What's wrong? Are you worried?"
Wu Lin answered Zanmo and looked back at Li Yunze who was riding away. "Fourth Prince, do you feel that that person is a little strange? It seems like, like"
Wanyan Wushu's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly blurted out, "I feel a bit like the king of the country."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed.
"I'm just wondering why I always feel like this guy has such a weird demeanor."
Wulin replied to Zanmo and his expression changed slightly, "Fourth Prince, do you want it?"
"No need." After a moment of silence, Wanyan Wushu suddenly waved his hand, "There's no need to make a fuss, the Song Dynasty can't overturn the sky."
He is still young and energetic and cannot lose face.
The Song people had just exchanged hostages, and now they had to exchange them back again. Their momentum was weakened for no reason.
If it were his second brother, he would never let go so easily.
The second prince, Wanyan Orulubu, had been in the military for a long time and had extensive experience as the actual person in charge of the East Route Army.
And it's impossible to be like Wanyan Wushu, who could easily let go of possible hidden dangers just to save face.
It's just that he was busy with military affairs and looked down on the Song Dynasty, so he never appeared at all.
When we returned to Bianliang City, we were immediately led to the Chui Gong Hall by the Imperial Guard.
"Kuroro is back."
Zhao Huan, who had deep dark circles under his eyes, enthusiastically stepped forward and held Li Yunze's hand, "Thank you for your hard work, Jiulang."
"I don't dare." Li Yunze lowered his eyelids, calmly took out his hand and bowed it in salute, "It's all within the scope of my duties."
"OK."
Zhao Huan was obviously very moved, and then he remembered something: "Compared with Jiulang, Wulang is really embarrassing."
Li Yunze, who lowered his head, grinned slightly. Zhao Shu was sent into the tiger's mouth by you. It would be a problem if he had a good temper.
When Zhao Shu was chosen to replace Li Yunze as a hostage, it was really like mourning for an heir. He cried and made a fuss in the Gongchui Hall, and even attracted his mother, Concubine Wang Guifei, to intercede.
This can be regarded as making Zhao Huan disgraced.
In contrast, Li Yunze's attitude indeed made Zhao Huan very satisfied.
"Jiulang served as an envoy to Jinying for his meritorious service." Zhao Huan quickly gave out the benefits: "He should be a Grand Tutor, be granted the title of Military Envoy of Fengning Army in Jingjiang, and be the Pastor of Guizhou and the Pastor of Zhengzhou."
These names are very resounding. If they were in the Han and Tang Dynasties, they would be considered princes.
It's a pity that I'm being discouraged now. These titles are all empty positions. Apart from a few more salary incomes, they have no real meaning.
Of course, this is not what Li Yunze wants.
He first thanked him, and after talking some nonsense, he suddenly said, "The peace negotiation is done. I guess the Jin people will withdraw their troops soon?"
Zhao Huan, who had always had a dark face, finally smiled and said, "That's it."
He gave the Jin people a large sum of gold and silver, and promised to cede Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, which finally satisfied the Jin people's appetite for the time being.
If nothing else happens, the Jin people will retreat in the next few days.
Zhao Huan, who had been struggling for a few months after taking the throne, was finally able to rest in peace.
Li Yunze smiled softly and followed up with a knife to break the defense.
"If this is the case, the Emperor will surely return to Luan Tokyo City soon."
The smile on Zhao Huan's face froze in an instant.
