Since ancient times, when two countries negotiate peace or negotiate, the candidates for envoys of one country are chosen by their respective countries. Although before the Song Dynasty, there was no precedent for other countries to designate envoys, it was a minority after all, and it was never before in the Song Dynasty.

After all, for the Song Dynasty, who was talking about the matter of peace talks, it was important to say that it was important, and it was actually no big deal to say that it was not important.

But this is only for the Song Dynasty. Once it rises to an external level, especially when talking to the Mongolians, this nature is naturally different.

Even if the Song Dynasty is now on a weak side, the Song Dynasty should have the final say for who is the envoy in this sect, right? The Mongolians appointed the envoys for the peace talks in the Song Dynasty. If it really responded to the Mongolians and spread it, how could the Song Dynasty have the face?

Shi Songzhi is not a fool. On the contrary, for most of the officials in the Song Dynasty today, who only know how to fight in the nest are smarter. From a minor official to a Jinghu Commander, to the current Left Prime Minister and Privy Councilor, Shi Songzhi's resume is not as luxurious as Jia Sidao's promotion speed, but he has come step by step.

At the same time, his starting point is high enough, so his vision is much further than that of ordinary people.

The reason why the court was able to pass this time in Xiangyang was that in addition to Meng Gong's request for Chen Ci, Shi Songzhi also spent a lot of effort to promote this matter.

Compared with the rest of the officials in the Song Dynasty who only compromised and appeased the outside world, they should be considered hawks and war-torn factions of the Song Dynasty.

Due to the limitations of the conditions and the times, whether Shi Songzhi or Meng Gong, most of the time, they kept their attention on the war between the Song Dynasty and the Mongols, and rarely had the conditions to pay attention to other situations in Mongolia.

Therefore, they naturally would not be like Jia Sidao, knowing that the Mongols were urging their army to sweep the Eurasian continent at this time.

However, this did not conceal their due judgment. Although the Mongols repeatedly sent various offensives to the Song Dynasty, they had never really tried their best. They really did not value the current land and cities of the Song Dynasty so much, just as if they were busy with other things. The strategies of the Song Dynasty were like mowing grass valleys. After a while, they felt mature, so they dispatched large troops to rob the Song Dynasty.

In addition to cities, grain, population, tea, ironware, gold, silver and jewelry, etc. were all targets of the Mongols' looting, but they were disdainful of the cities and land that the Song Dynasty valued the most.

This is also the main reason why the Sichuan War Zone, where the granaries of the Song Dynasty, has always been the main direction of the Mongols' attack. Because Sichuan is the granary and has always been prosperous.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that the Mongolians would not have had a great battle with the Song Dynasty because of a Xiangyang city. And because they saw the importance of Xiangyang to the Yangtze River defense line of the Song Dynasty, Shi Songzhi and Meng Gong spared no effort to promote the battle of Xiangyang.

But the facts were wrong. The Mongols not only really made great moves, but also made great moves. They were sitting in the Jin land and overlooking the Song land. They even personally supervised their troops to come south to retaliate against the Song Dynasty. Then, two armies from Sichuan and Huaidong came out to siege the Song Dynasty.

This can no longer be described as a war. Judging from the momentum of being warm and gentle, it is entirely a trend of destruction of the Song Dynasty.

The failure of prediction and the unfavorable progress of the war, Zhao Yun's dissatisfaction with him also increased with the military information sent to the Dragon Case like snowflakes every day. Shi Songzhi knew very well.

However, Shi Songzhi felt that something happened strange from the beginning and something that should not be.

The Song and Mongolian countries have fought against each other for three years ago to now, and have fought countless wars of all sizes. Although the Song Dynasty has always been on the defensive position, Shi Songzhi knew that the Mongols knew very well that if they wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty, even if they could, they would pay an extremely heavy price even if they could, and it was very likely that they would end up in the end, and they would lose the Jin land.

If it is a little more serious, even the Mongolians will be dragged to be buried with them and completely returned to the prairie.

Therefore, in the past three years, except for the battle between Song and Meng, the two countries, have basically fought and stopped, so how could they talk about peace talks... so repeated.

This is the tacit understanding between the two countries for the past three years. Although they have not been explained, they are all aware of it.

But this time, although it was rare for the Song Dynasty to take the first attack, and it was just after the Mongolian envoys arrived in Lin'an City, this was not a big deal in Shi Songzhi's opinion.

Before, the Mongols came to take the initiative to attack the Song Dynasty. When did he tell the rules? When was peace talks, it was not impossible to rob the Song Dynasty? Who stipulated that you were only allowed to set fire and not others were allowed to light the lamp?

The Mongolians' reaction this time was really too big and too abnormal.

At first, Shi Songzhi was not too worried. He thought that he was just a gesture to save some of the invincible face of Mongolia. However, as the war between Sichuan and Huaidong began, he finally realized that things were a little out of control.

But just as he grabbed countless hairs every day and thought of dealing with the Mongols' battle to destroy the country, he suddenly stopped fighting. He also took the initiative to seek peace and retreated, and even rarely proposed to return Bianliang and Kaifeng to the Song Dynasty, as if he had appointed an ambassador for peace talks for the Song Dynasty.

At this moment, Shi Songzhi's just determined thoughts were shaken again in an instant.

Meng Gong's letter explained everything in detail, and Shi Songzhi City knew about the causes and consequences. But he would not really naively think that relying solely on the thunderbolts and the treacherous thieves in the Golden Land could make them go away without even giving up their farts.

The mobilization of millions of troops is an astronomical figure, not to mention that the Mongols have always been barren.

How can we play with military and national affairs? But we can really play with it without saying anything. Shi Songzhi really doesn't understand the cards.

However, when he saw that Gu Wenbuhua appointed Jia Sidao as the peace talks ambassador to go to Kaifeng to negotiate peace talks, he thought of the various things that happened to Jia Sidao in his letter when he negotiated with Gu Wenbuhua. Shi Songzhi always felt that Gu Wenbuhua must have another idea this time, and something very important was ignored by him.

This feeling is very ethereal, and it seems that it is just a little short of being able to catch the truth. But it is just a little short of being able to.

What exactly is it?
