Wan Yanchen was lying on the bed, although the knife in the stomach was not heavy, but it was not light, and at this time, his body was painful and chaotic, and said, "Mr. Hu, what do you think of this?"

Hu Juke had just sent the military doctor away, his hand had been connected, but it was broken in the fight just now, although it was connected again, but it was not easy to recover his own experience, he said: "General, this time it is not a small matter." Imagine, the general came at the invitation of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, he was a distinguished guest. The general was held hostage by Liao thieves, Tong Guan not only did not punish him with the rule of law, but also treated him with the general, although he was also a VIP of the Great Song Dynasty, but this time the general was afraid that it was not as simple as no one in Yelu Yanqi's eyes. He used the Jurchen dialect, and when he said this, his face was worried, and he said in a low voice: "Song Xiaofu said that someone in the Great Song Dynasty colluded with Liao thieves, which seems to be true, but I am afraid that Tong Guan will ...... him."

"yes. Wan Yanchen said: "Tong Guan is indeed suspicious, but we are in the tiger's den, what should we do?" Hu Juke said: "When it comes to forming alliances and connecting countries, although there are still Dali and Western Xia, but these two countries are small and weak, and there is equal to nothing, so the most ideal object of the Song Dynasty should be my Dajin and Liao." The Liao thieves and the Song were feuds, and the Great Song should not want to form an alliance with them. As long as the general sees the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty safely, the trip will be worthwhile. ”

Wan Yanchen said: "Mr. Hu thinks the same as me. Hu Juke said: "I'm most worried about Tong Guan and the Liao thief ...... now" Wan Yanchen said: "The gentleman knows righteousness, and the villain only has profit, Mr. Hu, we have to try to see Tong Guan." ”

"That's right. Hu Juke nodded in agreement.

At this time, a waiter came in and said, "Enlighten the envoy, Lord Du asks to see you." ”

Wan Yanchen and Hu Juke glanced at each other and said, "Please." ”

Du Tiancheng entered the house and said, "The old man was entrusted by the emperor and failed to protect the envoy, which frightened the envoy. "He went out just now, and when he came back, he heard that Yelu Yanqi had gone to kill Yan Chen, so he hurriedly came over to greet him.

Wan Yanchen smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, it's all over." ”

Du Tiancheng saw that he couldn't get out of bed, obviously hurt a lot, but he couldn't help it, and said: "Please rest assured, the old man will do his best to protect you, if there is another bad pool, the old man will not be ashamed to see the emperor again." ”

Wan Yanchen nodded and said, "Lord Du's loyalty and righteousness make me admire it very much." We Jurchens have gained heroes like you. Mr. Hu, bring me wine, I want to have a few drinks with the adults. ”

Hu Juke hurriedly said: "General, you have injuries on your body, drinking and injuries...... This ......" Du Tiancheng said: "The health of the messenger is important, and when you are healed, it is not too late for the old man to accompany you to drink." ”

Wan Yanchen laughed and said, "It seems that I can't drink this wine today, but I can write down this wine." This time, I am an envoy to your country, and I am greeted by Lord Du and Master Tong for thousands of miles, otherwise I would have died in the hands of Yelu Yanqi. I, Dajin, am at war with the Liao State, and if he does this, I have been mentally prepared before I leave your country. It's just that this time in the post station, this knife can't kill me, but I feel that this, this is not a reason. ”

Du Tiancheng said solemnly: "Envoy, please rest assured, the old man will explain this matter to the emperor in detail, and will give you an explanation." Wan Yanchen said: "The alliance in this matter is related to the overall situation of the world, and my eldest brother also attaches great importance to it and entrusts me with full responsibility." I wonder what your emperor has to say?"

Du Tiancheng said: "The old man is a guard in the inner court, and he is in the job of protecting the royal family, and he has no right to govern the court. Besides, the old man left the palace this time, because he had another task. The emperor has entrusted Master Tong with the alliance, and the old man is really speechless. ”

Wan Yanchen said: "I see. ”

Du Tiancheng said: "The old man is going to go to where Master Tong is, and the old man can speak on his behalf." Wan Yanchen said: "Then there is Lord Lao, but I am afraid that I will worry about Lord Tong in the middle of the night." ”

After Tong Guan heard that Yan Chen had something to discuss, he couldn't care about going over in person late at night.

He was coaxed impulsive by Yelu Yanqi's words just now, and then he thought about it quietly, and suddenly felt that things were simple to remember, but he couldn't really succeed in doing it, he couldn't cover the sky with his hands, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yelu Yanqi only cared about his own interests, and was obviously killing people with a knife. He was secretly glad that he understood it early, and he hated Yelu Yanqi to the core, and really wanted to kill him, but of course he couldn't really do it. He realized that this alliance was not only a major event for the court, but also closely linked to his interests. He had to take it seriously. He really wanted to know what Jin Guo meant, and Du Tiancheng happened to come at this time, which was exactly what he wanted.

Wan Yanchen didn't expect that the sky was about to dawn, Tong Guan really came over, he and Hu Juke looked at each other and smiled, it seems that the Song Dynasty did not attach great importance to the Jin Kingdom.

They exchanged a few polite words and went straight to the point.

Tong Guan said: "This matter is related to the national fortunes of the two countries, and the emperor attaches great importance to it. Before the official left, the emperor instructed the official to treat the envoy well, and also personally wrote the royal pen, saying: Yanjing and the state city under its jurisdiction were originally Han land, and they should be returned. This is the key to this, what does the general think?"

Since Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Liao State, successive dynasties in the Central Plains have tried to recover this lost land. In the sixth year of Zhou Xiande, Sejong Chai Rong made great efforts to the Northern Expedition, and could only recover the three states of Ying, Mo and Yi. In the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, he also made a determination to recover. However, Taizong Taiping rejuvenated the country in the fourth year of the Northern Expedition, defeated in the Gaoliang River, and was defeated in Qiyan in the third year of Yong, and since then he has been deep ditches and high bases, and no longer makes an offensive move. And the Liao State herded horses in the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no time or self. The Great Song Dynasty lost the screen of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and it was beyond the reach of the Liao State whip, and it was powerless to prevent it, which was really a big trouble. Therefore, Emperor Zhao Ji wanted to take this opportunity to recover the lost territory.

Wan Yanchen said secretly: "Although everyone knows that my Dajin is brave and good at fighting, the country has not been established for a long time, and the foundation is not stable. If the Liao State promised to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how deep the hatred between the Song and the Liao was, it would be written off, and the two countries would form an alliance, and Da Jin Yan would survive?" ”

Tong Guan said: "It's so good. After looking at Yan Chen's modesty and courtesy, thinking of Yelu Yanqi's domineering, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart: "You are so proud, even if you join forces to destroy the Jin Kingdom in the future, you will not treat the Great Song Dynasty as an ally brother." In the bitter cold land of the Jin country, no matter how brave he is, there is not much of a threat. At that time, he destroyed the Liao State with the Jin State and recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the previous dynasties could not recover it, so wouldn't I Tongguan be able to cover the world? At that time, my army was in control, and I also followed the Song Taizu Chen Qiao Mutiny...... "Thinking of wishful thinking, I was unrestrained, and I no longer went to see Yelu Yanqi." The next day, he was ordered to return to Beijing. took Huang Yajie, Zhong Chengbin, Mo Yonghu and others to set off. At this time, Tong Guan had no intention of embarrassing them, but only wanted to use them as witnesses to testify against Yelu Yanqi's persecution of Yan Chen. Another point, although he made up his mind, he still couldn't muster the courage to turn his face against Liao, because he was afraid that Yelu Yanqi would be angry and stabbed him away from the matter of private correspondence with Liao. So he actually still has the idea of stepping on a two-headed boat.
