Chapter 842: Set up another imperial guard (2)

Originally, it was a trick to sending a master to hijack Zhao Bing, but after failure, it now seems that he was shooting himself in the foot with a stone.

It turned out that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was not as easy to talk as he imagined. Their actions undoubtedly angered the most popular young emperor in the Central Plains.

Li Wangyuan smiled bitterly and said to Zhongsun Qifu: "Teacher, what should we give to the Song Dynasty?"

His words have already shown that he will not change his mind and would rather have some blood.

Zhongsun Qifu also smiled bitterly and said, "Emperor, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty said it would be beneficial. Then there would be no gold, silver, food, war horses, cloth and other things. With the current popularity of weapons in the Song Dynasty, if we send them weapons to compensate, they would definitely not look down on them."

Li Wangyuan said: "Then give some of them?"

The ministers of Xixia in the hall felt a little frustrated, but at this time, there was obviously nothing to say.

The letter from Changsha said that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was not in a hurry to take down Kuizhou, which made them passive. It was like the original hot cake, but suddenly it was disliked.

Now it is no longer the Song Dynasty begging them to exchange Kuizhou for Li Xiushu, but they want to stuff Kuizhou, a hot potato, into the hands of the Song Dynasty.

Zhongsun Qifu gently stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, our dynasty has not produced high food. Although we have hoarded it over the years, if we send it to the Song Dynasty, if we deal with the war in the future, it will be inevitable that we will be short of difficulties. According to the old ministers, it is better to give gold and silver. Although the Song Dynasty received gold and silver, it will be difficult to relieve the emptiness of the national treasury in a short period of time. Our dynasty has not been short of war horses. In this way, we will not be hurt. The Song Dynasty will benefit from the Ming Dynasty and will not be able to improve its national strength soon."

"Um."

Li Wangyuan nodded slowly, "What the teacher said is very much, then follow what the teacher said. As for the gold, silver and the number of war horses he sent, it is up to the teacher to decide."

Li Wangyuan did not have many advantages, but his advantage lies in his self-knowledge. He knew that he was not good at these state affairs, so he was willing to rely on Zhongsun Qifu and others.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the old ministers of Xixia still supported Li Wangyuan.

If Li Wangyuan was stubborn and thought he was the descendant of the royal family, it would be great to use the patience of these old ministers in Xixia. He might have ended up with great power.

"yes."

Zhongsun Qifu bowed his orders and immediately took the ministers away and made detailed discussions.

If you give less, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty may not be satisfied. If you give more, you are afraid that you will raise your appetite in the Song Dynasty and feel distressed. Therefore, there are still many standards to be grasped.

To put it bluntly, it is actually similar to bargaining for buying things.

The seller has a seller's bottom line, and the buyer has a buyer's bottom line. The final outcome depends on who can grasp the opponent's bottom line.

In Changsha City.

After Zhao Dongting implemented several new policies in the political circle, the newly-acquisitioned grain and grass from the imperial court failed to fill the national treasury, and was still in various places and divided by defenders and imperial guards. Some people who went to Changsha, but they were not able to reach the grain warehouse, they were ordered to be sent to Tiankui Army and other five troops. The Changsha grain warehouse was still empty.

This made Chen Jianghan, the Minister of Finance, who was in charge of grain and treasury, felt very heartbroken. He blinked less these days.

But with the support of food and grass, the guards who had tightened their belts and were always worried that they would not have the rest of the meal, and the imperial guards finally stabilized their morale.

In addition to serving the country, everyone joins the army just to have a full meal.

Zhao Dongting successively issued several imperial edicts to Fujian and Guangnan East Road. He ordered the Fujian Pacifier Huang Hua to draw 30,000 people from the Toutu army under his command to join the Song Dynasty Imperial Army, namely the Tianan Army, the Tianyou Army, and the Tiankong Army. He also allowed all the soldiers and civilians to migrate to the She people on Guangnan East Road. Now the former She democratic general who was the pacifier of Guangnan East Road, Shi Kaiji, who was extremely relied on Mrs. Xu, also transferred 30,000 people from the She civilian soldiers to join the Imperial Army, namely the Tiansu Army, the Tianyi Army, and the Tiansha Army.

This is probably the people drawn from the Tou Tuo Army and the She people's army that can be drawn near the limit. Apart from these people, there are almost only the defenders of each city.

As for the 60,000 imperial guards, Zhao Dongting asked Huang Hua and Shi Kaiji to rule over the military commander Wen Tianxiang.

Fortunately, the Toutuo Army and the She people are now loyal to the Song Dynasty, so Huang Hua and Shi Kaiji are not dissatisfied with each other.

Of course, the main reason why Zhao Dongting previously signed the two of them as Fujian Pacifiers and Guangnan East Road Pacifiers respectively.

This is definitely a vassal official in the Song Dynasty.

The Toutuo Army and the She people have a place to reproduce and prosper.

The emperor's trust cannot be offset by just drawing tens of thousands of soldiers to supplement the imperial guards.

Zhao Dongting also had an imperial edict, which ordered the Flying Sky Army and the Flying Dragon Army to rush back to Changsha.

The Song and Yuan dynasties discussed peace, and it was obvious that there was no need for these two Song special forces to stay in Fujian.

The carrier pigeon has arrived in Changsha again.

Zhongsun Guge entered the palace again and was still received by Zhao Dongting outside the Wuding Hall Library.

As soon as he met, he took out a secret letter from his sleeves and handed it to Zhao Dongting, saying, "Emperor of the Song Dynasty, this is the letter from my dynasty emperor."

Zhao Dongting opened the letter and muttered: "100,000 taels of silver, 5,000 war horses."

Just a few ten words.

But these words fell into Zhongsun Guge's ears, which made him look heartbroken.

A hundred thousand taels of silver is definitely not a small amount.

But he still had to look at Zhao Dongting's face carefully, for fear that the Emperor of Song Dynasty would not agree.

What made him both angry and helpless was that the Emperor of Song Dynasty did not show any satisfaction, but frowned slightly.

Zhao Dongting looked at Zhongsun Guge, as if he was dull and said, "You Xixia are too stingy. Just such a little money, our Song Dynasty really doesn't lack. It seems that I don't know the price, so it's hard for you to give me a price that I'm satisfied with. In this way, you reply to your emperor and ask him to double these silver and war horses upwards. I will agree to send troops to take over Kuizhou and send you Princess Li Xiushu back to your Xixia Emperor safely and safely?"

Even though Zhongsun Guge was full of elegance, he was trembling at this time.

Fortunately, he was still well-educated. He was silent for dozens of seconds and said, "Your Majesty, do you double it up? I'm not rich in Xixia either. I'm afraid I can't take it out..."

Zhao Dongting only said: "Can you take it out? You Zhongsun Guge can't count it. You just pass my words back."

Zhongsun Guge's face was full of aggrievance.
