Chapter 686: Peace Discussion (2)

"snort!"

A Shu snorted coldly, but didn't know how to speak.

He was also very surprised, not understanding why the Song Dynasty could fight harder and stronger in a short period of time from a mere land of the continent.

In the past, the Mongolian army also became stronger and stronger, but that was because of the plundering policy, wherever they fought, they would plunder. However, the Song Dynasty did not plunder any place!

He just said this because he was resentful.

The Song Dynasty could still hold on, but the Yuan Dynasty could not hold on anymore. Hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed in the south, which was already considered a traumatic injury.

Now the domestic army is spreading very well, expeditioning to Europe, Goryeo, Japan, etc. It is unlikely that it will be possible to draw out many more troops to destroy the Song Dynasty with its numerical advantage.

What's more important is that there are many generals in the Yuan Dynasty who are in charge of the army, but they are actually not very at ease.

When Kublai Khan killed Alibuge and seized power, this was always criticized in the court, and it also left the rest of the Mongolian sect kings completely without the psychological pressure of rebellion.

Can you Kublai Khan kill your brother and take the throne? Why can't we kill you and take the throne?

Kublai Khan also realized that Ah Shu was resentful, and therefore, he did not scold Ah Shu for not speaking through his brain.

He said, "What Yelu Zhu meant is to let me give in a little bit of it?"

Yelu Zhu did not answer, but looked at Brother Sang.

In the three-person think tank, he didn't want to show off too much, so as not to cause A Shu and Brother Sang to join forces to oppose him. So, I want to hear Brother Sang's meaning first.

In war, we must unite and rank, but in fact, the same is true for officials.

Brother Sang's face was full of beards, not like a civil official, but his eyes were extremely wise, and he said, "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Yelu Zhu said is good. We took the initiative to ask for peace, so we can no longer hold the idea of ​​not suffering losses. However, this loss cannot be eaten too much, making the people of the Song Dynasty think that we dare not continue to fight with them. According to the old minister, Guangnan West Road, Guangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Jinghu South Road and other places are no longer under the control of our dynasty. It is better to follow the trend and return these roads to them in name, at most, add Fujian Road. In this way, the Song Dynasty should stop when it meets, and our dynasty will not suffer too much loss."

"Give them the Fujian Road?"

Before Kublai Khan could speak, A Shu glared at him, "I'm happy now that he is still fighting with Song Jun Mi on Fujian Road. The winner is not decided. How can I give up if I say "?"

Brother Sang said quietly: "It is to take advantage of the victory or defeat before it is decided. If the Song army wins and the appetite will be even greater. If we don't chew off two bones in our court, we will never discuss peace. If our army wins, their desperate people will probably continue to attack Fujian, and then there will be no peace. The benefits will be taken by Dali."

Kublai Khan's eyes moved slightly.

Brother Sang's words obviously meant to his heart.

Regardless of whether he was nominally giving up the roads such as Jiangnan West Road, these places actually had nothing to do with him in the Yuan Dynasty.

Although Fujian is still fighting, his dignified Kublai Khan is not so petty, and he can't even bear to leave his way to Fujian.

As long as Liangzhe West Road, East Road, Jiangnan East Road, Huaian Road and other places are firmly controlled, the Yuan Dynasty is still the strongest force in the world.

And when he thought, it would be easy to research the hot air balloon and the Shenlong Gun and then take over Fujian and other roads again.

He just needs time to allow Alaowading and others to study the hot air balloon and the Dragon Gun.

However, Kublai Khan still had some doubts in his heart, "Will the Song Dynasty agree to peace talks?"

What they wanted, the Song Dynasty naturally wanted to get. Kublai Khan asked himself, if the Song Dynasty fooled himself like this and did not give him substantial benefits, he would definitely not agree to peace talks.

Brother Sang pondered slightly, "Just that's the case, the Song Dynasty would not be willing to discuss peace. But the emperor, even if the Song Dynasty does not want to discuss peace, will the people not want to discuss peace? As long as we create some public opinion among the people, the Song Dynasty emperor will not want to discuss peace, and he is afraid that he will not be able to resist public opinion? The Song Dynasty is now full of holes."

"Create public opinion?"

Kublai Khan frowned, "We just gave up those lost territory, without substantial concessions and sincerity. How can we create public opinion?"

"The old minister begs the emperor!"

Brother Sang suddenly fell to the ground, "I promised Princess Mingzhu to Emperor Song as my queen, so my court will have sincerity."

"this!"

Kublai Khan frowned, "Mingzhu is my beloved granddaughter, how can he promise to Emperor Song as his queen?"

Brother Sang looked up, "Your Majesty, but if peace talks are not reached, do you think Princess Mingzhu can still come back to Dadu?"

Kublai was silent.

Yelu Zhu then knelt on the ground, "The old minister also begged the emperor to promise Princess Mingzhu to Emperor Song as his queen."

With the act of marriage, the sincerity of the Yuan Dynasty in peace talks out. At that time, it will be easy for soldiers to create public opinion.

The country is now in decline and the people are suffering. When the Yuan Dynasty was willing to quit, how dare you, Emperor Song, ignore the people's livelihood and continue to fight?

When A Shu saw that Sang Ge and Yelu Zhu both knelt on the ground, he felt aggrieved, but he still knelt down.

Peacekeeping has been a foregone conclusion, so he naturally will not make any remarks for Princess Mingzhu.

In fact, there are many royal princesses who are synonymous with sacrifice.

In the imperial study, it suddenly became quiet.

Anger flashed in Kublai Khan's eyes from time to time, and the atmosphere in the whole room seemed particularly solemn by his eyes.

But in the end, Kublai Khan sighed, "This matter is decided like this! It's just a grievance."

Brother Sang stood up and said, "Emperor, although Princess Mingzhu is wronged to marry into the Song Dynasty, he is the queen and will never endure hardships."

Kublai sighed again and nodded.

Yelu Zhu said, "Emperor, the old minister will send envoys to Leizhou to negotiate peace with Emperor Song?"

Kublai Khan waved his hand, "There is no need to go to Leizhou and send an order to Pu Shougeng to ask him to go to Wen Tianxiang to discuss peace. By the time the envoy arrived in Leizhou, he said that the battle on Fujian Road had been completed."

"Old minister receives the order."

Yelu Zhu, who had just stood up, bowed his hand.

As for Li Xiushu's affairs, none of them mentioned it again. Obviously, no one of them planned to let Li Xiushu out of the palace.

Letting Li Xiushu go would almost mean losing the constraints on the entire Xixia.

Soon, Yelu Zhu, Sang Ge and A Shu took a leave and left the imperial study room.
Chapter completed!
