It turned out that as soon as Guo Yaoshi fell, as far as Yanjing was real, Zhao Ji and Wang Hao were overjoyed, and when they landed, they forgot all about the defeat of Baigou, thinking that this time it must be nine out of ten!

Before the second northern expedition was fought, Zhao Ji was triumphant, held a banquet to celebrate, and was busy changing the name of the Yanyun Lianglu state capital, and the ministers were also anxious to share the pork. At present, Zhao Ji personally inscribed Zhuoshui County, Wei Xingjun, Danzhou Hengshan County, Zhenyuan Army, Pingzhou Yuyang County, Funing Army, Yizhou Suiwu County, Yingzhou Pinglu County, Shunzhou Shunxing County, Jizhou Guangchuan County, Jingzhou Bailuanchuan County, together with Yanshan Mansion, is the Kyushu in front of the mountain. In addition, the Yunzhongfu Road leads Wuzhou, Yingzhou, Shuozhou, Ulzhou, Fengshengzhou, Guihuazhou, Confucianism, Fuzhou and Yunzhongfu as the Kyushu after the mountain. At the same time, Cai You was crowned as a young master, in charge of the military and political affairs of Yanshan Mansion, Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing, etc. had their own rewards, and Guo Yaoshi Chang Shengjun was also specially rewarded.

These were originally nothing-at least Ouyang Shi didn't care, but because Tanggu was located in Kyushu, which was about to be recovered, the Song court sent Ma Kuo to "discuss the handover matters" - to put it bluntly, he was preparing to send the guests back to the Han Department and take Tanggu back.

Deng Su listened to Ouyang Shi's sneering in the back, knowing that the four generals were extremely unhappy, and said in his heart: "The imperial court is not quite right. Although we promised that we would return Tanggu after Yanjing was recovered, but now that Yanjing has not been defeated, why should we be so rude to friendly forces! Hearing Ouyang Shi and Ma Kuo say more and more wrong, he hurriedly came out to fight the peace, while gently persuading Ouyang Shi to keep the promise of the day, and on the other hand, he scolded Ma Kuo for being reckless: "Now that Yanjing has not yet been attached, Lord Ma will come to chase away the guests, isn't it too careful?" He blamed Ma Kuo but not the court, which was regarded as saving a little face for the other party and going down the stairs.

Ma Kuo didn't approve of the practice of expelling customers before Yanjing, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, and then thought: "Although this Tanggu was not borrowed from us, they took it from the Liao people. But if you have a promise, you should strive for it! There must be no ambiguity in the matter of such territories, otherwise it will not be clear in the future. Then he said: "Ma Kuo is here, not to ask the Han Department to move away immediately, but to first the villain and then the gentleman, and to discuss with the four generals the handover of Tanggu after recovering Yanjing." ”

Ouyang Shi got up suddenly and sneered: "Let's talk about the handover when you receive Yanjing!" Maybe it's like last time, and the army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 will be inexplicably defeated! ”

Ma Kuoyan's face changed color when he heard this, but Ouyang Shi had already brushed his sleeves and turned into the rear cabin. Deng Su hurriedly persuaded: "Master Ma! With all due respect, it is unreasonable to discuss this matter at this time! Is this the meaning of the imperial court, or the meaning of Tong Taishi? ”

Ma Kuo hesitated for a moment and said: "The imperial court has a grace to come down, firstly, to commend the merits of the generals of the Han Dynasty, to reiterate the friendship between the two countries, and secondly, to urge the front to do a good job in appeasing the prefectures and counties of Yanjing, so as to ensure that Yanyun Jinou is perfect." ”

He said it euphemistically, but Deng Su could hear that the Bianliang court was in a hurry, and said in his heart: "The seven generals are ambitious, and the four generals value profit and fame, where will they be regarded by the court's grace?" But compared with the fourth general, the seventh general is still a little pro-Song, and if you don't want to mess up this matter, you have to ask the seventh general. He said: "This matter is very troublesome, and we have to think about it in the long run." But it is inappropriate for the imperial court to mention such things at such a time. Master Ma, I think the fourth general is very unhappy at this time, we don't need to add fuel to the fire at such a time. Why don't I send you to the shore post house to rest first, and then make a plan when he breathes a sigh of relief. ”

Ma Kuo traveled back and forth between Huining, Jinmen and Bianliang, and knew that there was a group of pro-Song people within the Han Ministry, and he could also see that Deng Su was one of them, so he protected the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Han Ministry, and sighed at the moment and said: "It's okay." I have no ill intentions, and I ask Lord Deng to turn around more about this matter. ”

After Deng Su sent a subordinate to send him off the ship, Ouyang Shi turned out of the back cabin and sneered: "Why are you talking so much about him?" He dared to ask again and replied to him like this: My Hanbu originally intended to return Tanggu to you, but now you have made Lao Tzu unhappy, and Lao Tzu will not return it! ”

Deng Su smiled bitterly and didn't dare to speak, patiently persuaded him to calm his anger, and returned to the shore to tell Yang Yingqi that he knew the whole thing, Yang Yingqi frowned and said: "National affairs, pay attention to step-by-step, first level Yanjing, and then collect Tanggu, this is the fundamental order, why is the person in charge of Bianliang so confused?" Furthermore, in dealing with important military and political affairs, the most important thing is to keep a calm mind. Like Zhao Guanren, who is extremely timid and afraid of things when he is frustrated, and extremely self-aggrandizement, what is the matter! ”

Deng Su couldn't say anything good for the Great Song Dynasty at the moment, so he avoided the important and said lightly: "This matter is naturally extremely inappropriate for the imperial court, but returning Tanggu is a matter that must be faced sooner or later after all, and you can't lose your trust because the four generals are angry for a while." ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "The fourth brother is angry for a while? Ha ha! Zhihong, you were also deceived by him! Where is he angry for a while, it is clear that he is beating snakes with sticks! ”

Deng Su's mind didn't turn around for a while, and Yang Yingqi said: "Actually, the fourth brother didn't plan to return Tanggu from the beginning, otherwise he would have put so much effort into this small port?" This time he was furious, ostensibly emotional, but in fact, he took the opportunity to use this as an excuse and planned not to pay it back! ”

Deng Su frowned and asked, "Seventh General, what do you mean?" ”

Yang Yingqi groaned: "Fourth brother, this Hu Lai is too unqualified. Our Han Ministry wants to win the trust of the world, how can we mess around in this small port? ”

Deng Su said: "What do the seven generals mean is to return Tanggu to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and said: "Return, naturally you have to pay it back, but it can't be so easy!" We contributed money and efforts to build such a Huahuagang City, and Zhao Guanren took it back with a word, how can there be such a good thing in the world? Besides, we help him with advice, use knives and guns, and there is no merit and hard work. With a few words of praise and commendation, we will be sent back, when we are called Huazi who have never seen the world? Even if this matter is reasoned in front of Sage Kong, his old man will not help Zhao Guanren speak. ”

Deng Su realized something and asked, "Does the Seventh General want the Great Song Dynasty to pay for redemption?" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and said, "Almost." However, the natural disasters of the Great Song Dynasty in the past few years, I asked Zhao Guanren for money again, didn't that force him to make matters worse for the people of the Great Song Dynasty? People in the world will hate us to death, so we can't do that. We don't ask Zhao Guanren directly for this money. All they need is to lend us Tanggu for ten years, and let us collect taxes here for ten years. As soon as the ten years come, we will pay him back immediately, and there will be no two promises! When he said that, he paused and said, "But if they don't want it themselves, then I can't help it." ”

Deng Su couldn't hear the meaning of his last sentence, nodded and said, "The arrangement of the Seventh General is very proper, so I will go to Ma Kuo to discuss." ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "What I just said is our bottom line, don't be too polite to him, although the price is sky-high, and then throw this bottom line out in the end, otherwise they are afraid that they will have to lower the price." ”

Yang Yingqi was not very happy at first after Ouyang Shi learned about this suggestion, but after thinking about it, he smiled and no longer objected. And Zhao Ji and Tong Guan on the side of the Great Song Dynasty also felt that Hanbu was too unhappy at first, but Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo strongly agreed. They have all been to Tanggu, and they know that this barren land by the sea is only becoming more and more prosperous under the rule of the Han Dynasty - this is less than a year, and it has already compared all the towns in Cangzhou, and if it is another ten years, it may be the second Jinmen. Ten years have passed in a snap of a finger, and in the long run, there is no loss in lending such a small piece of land to the Han Department in the Great Song Dynasty, but in the future, it may be ten times and a hundred times the benefits to be recovered! This account is so calculated, Zhao Ji and the others feel that it is very worthwhile, and at the moment, Yan Yun has not really put it in their pockets after all, they still need the help of the Han Department, they can't help but sell this face, and with a wave of the royal pen, they will make up their minds.

This matter must have warmed the relationship between the two families. At the urging of Yang Yingqi, Tong Guan sent horses to expand into Northern Liao to persuade him to surrender, and on the other hand, he ordered Liu Yanqing to move his army north, cross Baigou, Tunfanyang, and approach Xijin Mansion.

The Empress Dowager Xiao of Northern Liao was frightened, and on the one hand ordered Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan to act cheaply in front, and on the other hand, she ordered Han Fang to hold the watch to Xiongzhou to pay the courtiers.
