In the next few days, Wu Yong had been discussing the alliance with the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
Wu Yong now completely regarded himself as an "envoy of Goryeo" and constantly fought for the interests of Goryeo. The more he acted like this, the less the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty doubted his identity.
Song Huizong, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng and other famous treacherous officials in history have already confirmed the alliance. Naturally, the ministers below did not have much objection, and the matter has been basically settled.
In these days, Zhu Gui and Cao Zheng were extremely anxious. They were still busy with "craftsman" matters and wanted to take the craftsmen from Duzuoyuan away from Bianliang City.
"These craftsmen all have their own families... We not only have to take away these craftsmen, but also take away all their families. It's really difficult!" Zhu Gui stood outside the Dosakuyuan and sighed.
"Why are the families of these craftsmen taken away?" Cheng Guan next to him asked a little strangely.
"If we just take away these craftsmen, the imperial court will definitely not let their families go. Their families will not escape death, and those craftsmen will definitely resent us for this. It will be very difficult to let them be used by me.
." Zhu Guidao.
"This matter is indeed somewhat difficult." Cheng Guan frowned.
It is still possible to take away one or two families. But now it is not just one or two craftsmen who have to be taken away, but dozens or even more craftsmen. It is almost impossible to take away their families together.
possible tasks.
"If it doesn't work, we will create trouble in Bianliang City and then look for opportunities to take these people away." Zhu Gui thought for a while and said.
"General Zhu, I think we should go find Wu Xuexue again... Wu Xuexue has always been loyal to the Governor, and he would never dare to disobey the Governor's military orders. He created such a big momentum in Bianliang City,
He must have his own purpose... maybe it's also for the craftsmen of the Dozu Academy, don't you think so?" Cheng Guan said.
"This..." Zhu Gui pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Let's go find Wu Yong in the evening."
Wu Yong had already become famous in Bianliang City during this period. From top to bottom in Bianliang City, everyone knew about the arrival of the Goryeo envoy.
In the evening, when Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan came to Honglu Temple, they found that the defense here was much tighter than before. There were soldiers everywhere and it was almost impossible to enter.
"Why are the defenses so tight now?" Zhu Gui said in disbelief.
The defensive power here is almost as good as those of the princes' palaces. This is not the treatment that an envoy from a foreign country should enjoy.
In fact, there is a reason why the defense is so tight. Wu Yong is now representing Goryeo and the Song Dynasty to discuss the alliance, which is related to Song Huizong's eternal achievements, so Song Huizong takes this matter very seriously, and naturally treats Wu Yong, the Goryeo envoy.
He also took it very seriously, so he sent heavy troops to guard Honglu Temple to ensure Wu Yong's absolute safety.
The two walked around the outside of Honglu Temple and found that they couldn't get in at all. They wanted to leave. At this moment, Cheng Guan suddenly said in surprise: "General Zhu, look."
I saw a familiar person appear in front of me. It was the intelligence officer who followed Wu Yong. At this moment, this person was accompanied by several imperial soldiers. When he saw Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan, his eyes also showed surprise.
With a look on his face, he walked towards the two of them.
The soldiers were following him. Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan were a little uneasy. At this moment, the man said: "Sure enough, there is a master here!"
As he spoke, he kept saluting to Cheng Guan. Cheng Guan was stunned and didn't know what he was doing.
At this time, I heard the man say again: "Master Cui said that there may be a Buddhist master passing by in the evening. After letting me see him, I must invite him in. Sure enough, not long after I came out, I saw a Buddhist master.
Master, please come quickly!"
Only then did Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan understand what the man meant. Wu Yong had been waiting for their arrival for a long time, and the man must have been waiting for a long time.
The soldiers nearby did not stop the two of them. They had obviously received Wu Yong's instructions and knew that Wu Yong wanted to invite the passing Buddhist master in.
At that moment, Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan followed the man into Honglu Temple. They passed without hindrance and finally arrived at the place where Wu Yong lived.
…
The place where Wu Yong lived was much more luxurious than before. When the two of them entered, they found that Wu Yong was drinking and there were several beauties accompanying him. It was obvious that he was very comfortable.
Seeing Wu Yong's appearance, Zhu Gui was furious and wished he could go up and give Wu Yong a slap in the face before talking. But Cheng Guan looked very calm.
"Come on, please quickly ask Master to take a seat." Wu Yong said.
Immediately, someone invited the two of them to sit down, and soon someone served them good tea with a respectful look.
"All of you, please step aside. I want to talk about Buddhism with the passing master today." Wu Yong waved his hand, and all the beauties and attendants in the room left one after another, leaving only three people in the room.
"Wu Xuexue, congratulations on finally meeting the emperor and realizing your wish." Zhu Gui gritted his teeth.
"Yes, I finally understand this wish... It's a pity that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty disappointed me a little. He was far inferior to the Governor." Wu Yong said.
"Wu Xuexue, do you still want to carry out the military orders of the Grand Governor?" Zhu Gui said.
"Have I been carrying it out? I have now negotiated with the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty." Wu Yong said.
"What has been discussed?" Zhu Gui asked strangely.
"Of course it's a matter for the craftsmen of Dozuo Academy! In a few days, the craftsmen of Dozuo Academy will be sent to Korea. In addition, the equipment from Dozu Academy will also be sent to Korea!" Wu Yong said with a look on his face.
He said proudly.
"Ah!" Zhu Gui couldn't believe it.
"This is the Bianliang Covenant made between me and the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty. Take a look at it first. If there are no problems, I will formally sign a contract with them in a few days." Wu Yong said.
After saying that, Wu Yong handed a piece of paper to Zhu Gui, who both Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan looked at it curiously.
At the top of the paper are the words "Bianliang Covenant", and below are rows of small characters, all of which appear to be written by Wu Yong.
Article 1 of the Bianliang Covenant, the Song Dynasty, Goryeo, and the Jin Kingdom jointly destroyed the Liao Kingdom.
Second, after the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the Song Dynasty and Korea jointly destroyed the Jin Kingdom. By then, most of the north belonged to the Song Dynasty, and the land east of Liaoning belonged to Korea.
Third, the national power of Goryeo was low. In order to cooperate with the war, the Song Dynasty had to provide certain help. This included many ordnance, such as armor, weapons, as well as trebuchets, divine arm bows, etc. that Liangshan urgently needed. Of course, the Song Dynasty was not
These ordnance were provided free of charge, and Korea had to pay to purchase it. However, looking at the specific figures in the covenant, the so-called purchase was just symbolic.
Thirty thousand sets of armor, thirty thousand simple knives, 100 trebuchets, and 1,000 divine arm bows only cost 100,000 taels of silver. The price is unimaginably low.
Fourth, the Song Dynasty provided certain craftsmen, literary scholars, etc. to Goryeo to improve Goryeo's cultural economy.
Fifth, both parties exchange information and contact each other.
After reading the "Bianliang Covenant", Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan were stunned, they were simply in disbelief.
"Is everything written here true?" After a long while, Zhu Gui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"Of course it's true! This is the covenant between me, the envoy of Goryeo, and the Song Dynasty, so I said that the ordnance will be sent to Goryeo soon. I have completed the execution of the military order of the Governor." Wu Yongda
smiled.
Wu Yong felt that things were done so beautifully this time. After he came to Bianliang City, he got everything Liangshan needed without relying on anyone from the Intelligence Department. He relied solely on his own words!
And this is just the first step. In the future, relying on this "Bianliang Covenant", you can get more benefits and more things!
"The White Wolf with Empty Gloves! This is the real White Wolf with Empty Gloves! Hahahaha..." Wu Yong felt extremely proud.
Of course, it was very dangerous these days. He couldn't make any mistakes. Once someone suspected his identity, he would die without a burial. Fortunately, he did everything well and didn't have any problems.
These days, he even regards himself as an envoy from Korea, and has fallen deeply into this "role".
"Xuetu Wu, I, Zhu Gui, am convinced! You are really amazing!" After a long while, Zhu Gui praised with joy on his face.
"Hahahaha... This is nothing, it's really nothing!" Wu Yong said excitedly and proudly.
"From ancient times to the present, there are only a few people who can do what Wu Xuexue does. I admire him, I admire him!" Cheng Guan also said with admiration.
To be honest, before they came here, they had no idea that Wu Yong would do such a thing. It was simply unbelievable and shocking.
Speaking of Liangshan, they were rebels and the great enemy of the imperial court. But now Wu Yong was surprised to have chewed out such a large piece of meat from the imperial court's mouth, and it was given to him by the imperial court on his own initiative. This is really not easy!
For once, the two of them really admired Wu Yong.
"By the way, the envoys from the Song Dynasty will follow me back to Goryeo in the near future. Please inform the governor to prepare." Wu Yong said.
"Did you ask the Grand Governor to kill the envoy?" Zhu Gui said.
"Stupid, how can you kill the envoy of the Song Dynasty? If you kill the envoy of the Song Dynasty, you will not be able to get more benefits from the Song Dynasty in the future... I mean to let the governor pretend to be the King of Goryeo and complete this covenant.
