The lifeless situation in the world is changing. Some scholars and the people are not aware of their ruthlessness, but some angry young people, military critics, and capital groups that have benefited greatly are intoxicated and pondering at the battles like a god-turning battle in the north.

It is still far from the victory. After all, neither the two main legions of Xixia have been damaged. Although the volunteer army crossed the Huangshui River and captured the clan city, it has not yet stood firm and has not completely reversed the entire strategic situation.

However, it did not affect everyone's emotions at all. Since then, I basically felt that Shen Jilang would not lose, because he did not lose in the most difficult and darkest moments. So the situation in the future will only gradually improve.

The biggest attraction to various groups now is the concept of a strong country. The weak Song regime has been a weak country that can only hide in the cracks and spend money to buy peace and is harvested by barbarians every few years. It is slowly appearing in front of the world with a new look in a strong country. There is no question of an eagle spreading its wings, but it has already shocked everyone.

A cowardly regime's Jedi counterattack in the darkest moment, once it wins, the shock it brings to the Chinese people is indescribable. Even though many of them have not yet officially enjoyed the dividends brought by the war...

While the overall blood of the Song State was in full swing, the political situation in Liao was in full swing.

Sima Guang, who brought back diplomatic news from the Liao Kingdom at a critical period, officially became an unstable factor in the Song Dynasty during this period.

The climate has cooled down in late October.

In the command of the Volunteer Army Hehuang Camp temporarily set up in Zongcheng, at night, after reading the newspapers from the court under the dim oil lamp, Wang Yun, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, slapped the documents on the table. The oil lamps were overturned, causing a small fire, which scared Chen Ergou to extinguish the fire quickly.

"Everyone comes to check the documents, this is the Song Dynasty!" Wang Yun pointed to the almost burnt newspaper.

After circulating and reading it, everyone looked very bad.

Ma Jinxi was illiterate, so he muttered to ask Mu Guiying for specific content.

The content of this article from the court is roughly: Sima Guang, who was originally stranded in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom for diplomatic efforts, was not welcomed. However, since the Volunteer Army crossed the Huangshui River, the political situation in Liao Kingdom has also undergone violent changes, and he has begun to negotiate with Sima Guang, the Song Kingdom, who opposed the Volunteer Army policy.

As negotiators, Xiao Yanshan and Xiao Hui had the request for Sima Guang: to ask the State of Song to withdraw the volunteer army immediately, and Xixia was not advancing or killing people, and to maintain the current situation.

This is an unequal treaty. Although Sima Guang was a little cowardly, he was not stupid and refused to negotiate on this point.

Immediately afterwards, the volunteer army released satellites on October 5th, and the news of the Zongcheng victory reached Shangjing, causing the Liao Kingdom to panic. Yelu Hongji really didn't want the Song Kingdom to become stronger, and did not want the Song Kingdom to gain greater depth in the Hehuang area, so he summoned the Song Kingdom diplomatic ambassador Sima Guang for negotiations again.

The second request of the Liao Kingdom was: to make a kind plan and not cause excessive bloodshed, the volunteer army of the Song Kingdom wanted to evacuate all from the Hehuang area. At the same time, the Xixia army also evacuated. The three sides shook hands to make peace. The Hehuang area was still handed over to the Tubo Qiang people. At the same time, in order to punish the Tubo people at that time, the Yusilu regime was ordered to carry out war reparations against the Xixia.

Sima Guang once again rejected such an unequal treaty.

But Sima Guang argued not whether the Song Dynasty Volunteer Army withdrew its troops, but who was right and who was wrong in the incident?

So in the third negotiation, Sima Guang lived in the Song Dynasty and became increasingly depressed. There might be objective factors of chaos in the Song Dynasty. In principle, he recognized the withdrawal of the Song Dynasty's Volunteer Army, but did not accept the fact that the erroneous acts of the erroneous state were wrong. Sima Guang believed that it was a bloody and unkind act in Huangzhou, which was absent from the world's justice and put down serious war crimes. So he asked the Western Xia to withdraw his troops, and Xixia also had to pay compensation for the erroneous state and the Song Dynasty.

In the last tripartite talks, I was not sure whether the Xixia army would lose the war, but according to the current situation, Wang Yun's troops were too fierce, and the protracted war that would delay was even more unfavorable to Xixia. Therefore, even if I thought Sima Guang's conditions were a bit too much, I recognized it in principle and promised to return to the country quickly to discuss with the Empress Dowager Taishi of Xixia.

In this way, under the suppression of the hegemony of the Liao Kingdom, the tripartite talks reached a basically unanimous intention. After signing a so-called coalition statement, they returned to Xixia by eating more. Sima Guang quickly returned to Bianjing, questioning the "inappropriate actions of deploying volunteer troops in the difficult situation of the country."

With Sima Guang instigated and Emperor Zhao Zhen was temporarily in a state of confusion, the anti-war factions within the Song Dynasty court were absolutely not small.

Of course, given that the Volunteer Army's achievements cure all kinds of diseases, it has given Song Dynasty a lot of face, so this time they cannot be considered surrender factions, but the anti-war factions. The reasons for anti-war are strange, but the mainstream view is the issue of finance and food security: although everyone now believes that Shen Jilang will not lose the war, the main force of the two major legions of Xixia is still there, and Wang Rong is not a god, so it is impossible to destroy them quickly. This will turn into a tug-of-war war, which is extremely unfavorable to the Song Dynasty's finance, food, economy and other aspects.

There are many people who hold this view, including Lu Gongzhu, Sima Guang, and even Fu Bi.

Han Qi said: This group of people do not believe that the Volunteer Army can end the Hehuang Battle within a year. Now there are many victories that have led to a good diplomatic situation, and peace talks can also be put to a certain extent. However, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If there is no profit now and the follow-up procedures slip, the conditions will probably not be so good if they have to negotiate again. If there is continuous failure, then there will be no feelings or loyalty between countries, and there will be another situation of blackmailing the Liao Dynasty's military service on the border in Qingli. This is not possible, but it will definitely happen. History has never been gentle, and the barbarians have always blackmailed and harvested the Han people.

Objectively speaking, Wang Anshi believes that the anti-war concerns are reasonable. They did not lose power this time, and the things they were worried about did have the possibility of happening.

In a private message written by Yu Wang Anshi to the commander of the Volunteer Army, Lao Wang bluntly expressed his concerns about the war time limit. Lao Wang believed that his son's military command was completely mature, but he was not a god. For example, during the seven encounters during the four crossings of the Huangshui River, Zhuo Luolan, he only had three victories, three draws, and one defeat. Then, with the main force of the Western Xia Dynasty still present, if the Western Xia court saw Manme's stupidity clearly and adjusted the commander of the Expeditionary Army to Zhuo Luolan, it was possible to fight the Hehuang battlefield into a protracted war and drag the Song Dynasty into an endless quagmire of war. Once the Song Dynasty, which was dragged by the war, showed a hint of fatigue, it would be that the Liao Kingdom took the opportunity to blackmail with force, and the development achievements of a few years would be taken away by the hegemony of the Liao Kingdom once again.

So on this issue, my father Wang Anshi's view is not very different from Fu Bi: they unanimously believe that Sima Guang is a problem, but the strategic purpose of the volunteer army has been achieved, which has successfully prevented the current Xixia from occupying the Hehuang area. It is a feasible strategy to stop profit and cease the war and recuperate.

Only Han Qi has an ambiguous attitude. With such a major issue, Han Qi is not blindly warlike, so he did not publicly accuse them of anti-war. But Han Dawang also used a private message situation, accompanied by a top-secret letter to Wang Yun: "What your father, Fu Bi, and Wang Gongchen said on this issue is not unreasonable, so I will not publicly criticize their surrenderism. But I don't trust Sima Guang's diplomacy, so my Privy Council will never issue an order to withdraw troops in the short term. Now the emperor cannot be in charge. I ask your volunteer army to "receive orders outside" and can still adjust your deployment according to the specific situation on the battlefield."

Han Qi's meaning is very obvious: this requires Wang Yun to bear certain political and military risks. If Wang Yun, the chief minister of the volunteer army, thinks that he can continue to fight, there is no emperor's order now, according to the principle of "the army formation in the national war will not be dispersed unless the emperor's order", and there is no retreat order from the Privy Council. So, the documents under the Secretary of the Central Secretariat during this period can be interpreted as "suggestions" rather than the will of the court.

"My husband, what's going on? Please give an instruction soon?" After circulating the documents, the commanders and commanders of various departments were confused.

On the contrary, Mu Guiying didn't care much. She and her men had seen too much about this kind of thing.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yun tore the documents apart and slowly stood up and said, "I am not a god. I cannot guarantee that I will never defeat forever. I cannot quickly and effectively annihilate the vitality of Xixia in the Hehuang area."

After looking around, he said, "But I think the most difficult time for the Volunteer Army has passed. Although my Song Dynasty tightened his belt, the darkest moment was also passing. Now they just added some skin to their skin and wanted to stop profits. They wanted to cede the good situation that my Volunteer Army soldiers had fought for thousands of miles in blood and gained?"

"This is unacceptable. What is anti-war? This is extreme surrenderism. My father has wrong ideas. People who have been kneeling for a long time have difficulty getting their waists straight. People who have become poor will not dare to get a mountain of gold. This is a petty family."

Wang Yun knocked on the table and said, "My Volunteer Army paid the price of bloodshed. The Song Dynasty has already borne the main risk of pills, but all these crises are gradually eliminated. Now, it should be the time for profits to run. At this time, the situation created by the Volunteer Army with blood will never allow any diplomatic bureaucrats who hold surrenderism to ced at the negotiating table!"

Everyone stands at attention!

Wang Rong said again: "Retreat the troops? I will withdraw his Yelu Hongji, with a look on his face, with Sima Guang, with a look on his face. Since the start of the Hehuang Battle, more than 300,000 military and civilians have been mobilized to participate in one quarter of the administrative district of the Song Dynasty. The people in the Hehuang area were trampled bloodily, and more than 100,000 civilian casualties could be seen. The accumulated gold and silver of the Yesilu regime were robbed, and more than 30,000 soldiers were killed in battle. When our volunteer army came, 2,500 people were turned to the Zongcheng, and now four hundred soldiers had buried their bones in Hehuang."
