Chapter 77 Section Five

In order to negotiate peace with Jin as soon as possible, Tang Situi even spared no effort to cede territory and humiliate the country, which was unanimously opposed by the ministers of the Song Dynasty.Therefore, in order to facilitate the peace talks as soon as possible, Tang Situi actually did a jaw-droppingly absurd thing.So what did Tang Situi do?What will happen to him in the end? As the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, you, Tang Situi, are advocating for peace, which is different from the views of the main war faction, and it should be for the interests of the country.However, in order to reach a peace agreement as soon as possible, he actually sent people across the border and secretly reported to the Marshal of the Kingdom of Jin to disperse his loyalty. At this time, you should hurry up and beat us up and put a little pressure on us. up.When Pu San Zhongyi heard this, he was overjoyed. It turned out that the prime minister of Song Dynasty was one of us!I don't know why?This time it is connected to the organization relationship.So Pu San Zhongyi raised 200,000 troops and crossed the border to attack Chuzhou.

The guard general of Chuzhou was Wei Sheng, a civilian official who fought against the Jin army in Haizhou. When Wei Sheng saw the Jin army arriving, he fought bravely and led thousands of troops to fight.At this time, Heshi Liezhining, the deputy commander of the Jin Army, arrived with tens of thousands of Jin soldiers. Wei Sheng was outnumbered and fought and left.During the retreat, Wei Sheng felt that if the retreat continued like this, the entire army would be wiped out in the end, and there was no need for me to implicate the entire army.So he told his subordinates, as the governor of the state, I have the responsibility to guard the land, and if Chuzhou is not protected, I should be loyal to the country here to serve the court.You took the opportunity to break through and make the situation here clear as today.Wei Sheng ordered that after the cavalry was cut off, the infantry would be covered to retreat.During the fierce battle, Wei Sheng was hit by an arrow and died heroically for his country.Chuzhou fell, and the army of the Kingdom of Jin suppressed the territory.Tang Situi saw that his idea had come true, so he reported to the emperor and hurriedly negotiated peace talks. Not only should peace talks be made, but the land of the Huaihe River should also be abandoned.It used to be that the two countries were bounded by the Dasan Pass of the Huaihe River, but now we only need to keep the Yangtze River, and the land of the Huaihe River is no longer needed.

In this way, Emperor Xiaozong definitely couldn't tolerate it.Originally, I used you half-heartedly, because you are the leader of the main peace faction. I thought you could have some clever tricks. It turns out that your brilliant trick is to let me give up all the land that the enemy has not occupied.Don't be the prime minister, I will give you a idle job for Leng Cao, and Emperor Xiaozong will immediately demote Tang Si and withdraw from the court.Seventy-two students of the imperial court played on Fuque, jointly named Shangshu, and demanded that Tang Si retreat to thank the world.Tang Si retreated halfway, when he heard the news of the grand student Fu Que's performance, he died of panic as soon as he was afraid, and ended his disgraceful life.

After Tang Situi died, Emperor Xiaozong appointed Yu Yunwen as a political counselor and Privy Council affairs officer, and handed over the power of general minister to Yu Yunwen.But at this time, the people of the state of Jin had the upper hand in force after all, and it was inevitable to negotiate peace with the state of Jin, and Jin Shizong was also eager to make peace with the Song Dynasty.The envoy of Song arrived in the Kingdom of Jin smoothly, and the two sides reached a peace agreement again.This peace agreement was reached during the Longxing period of Song Xiaozong, so it is called "Longxing Peace Agreement". After the peace agreement was reached, the reign name of the Song Dynasty was changed from Longxing to Qiandao, so it was also called "The Alliance of Qiandao".
