Brother Yeluhua, the Taiwei of the Liao State, had been taken to Honglu Temple by Lu Duan, and although Lu Duan was not very polite to them, at least he did not order his subordinates to rush in with swords and shouting trumpets.

Therefore, Yelu Huage still didn't know what happened in the Liao Country Post House that made him afraid after he knew.

But Brother Yeluhua's mood at this time was not very good, and it could even be said that he was very depressed.

After Lu Duan took Yelu Huage to Honglu Temple, he sent someone to take him to the main hall of Honglu Temple, which was specially prepared for the Zhou Liao negotiations.

In order to show the importance that Zhou attaches to Liao, the layout of this negotiation hall can be described as extraordinarily spacious, atmospheric and high-grade.

In order to let Brother Yelu Hua clearly understand the importance that Zhou attaches to Liao, Lu Duan also specially ordered someone to take Brother Yelu around the Honglu Temple, and specially took him to see the smallest room in the Honglu Temple.

How to say it, the Liao State is also implementing the imperial examination system now, although the Liao people who started as nomads do not regard the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun as people, but they have an admiration for the culture of the Han people from the bones.

So, while brutally oppressing the Han people, they were hungry to learn and imitate the culture of the Han people.

The same is true for the Jin people who were a few years later.

Brother Yeluhua, as the lieutenant of the Liao State in the current dynasty, naturally knew what the scientific expedition was all about.

In his opinion, the small room that the officials of Honglu Temple took him to visit was the size of a number room during the Gongyuan examination.

Even the furnishings inside are similar to those in the number room, a table, a stool, and a toilet......

What made Yeluhua the happiest was that there was a piece of paper on the door of this small house, and a few large characters were written on it.

"Exclusively for the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty."

This is too bullying, how can you be so contemptuous of the envoys of the Northern Han who came to negotiate peace, if the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty see it, can they bear it, this is not clear if they don't want to negotiate with the Northern Han.

Alas...... It is still the main hall of Honglu Temple that is magnificent enough, which is enough to see that Zhou attaches great importance to my Daliao.

Yeluhua Ge believes that the reason why Lu Duan's attitude towards him was not polite before was that he was completely fighting psychological warfare with him, wanting to overwhelm him in momentum, so as to gain a greater advantage during negotiations.

For these tricks of Lu Duan, Brother Yelu Hua is scornful, the two countries have diplomatic relations, and shamelessness is the king.

Today, the old man ordered all the envoys to confess to the Zhou State, and tomorrow my Da Liao soldiers and horses will attack Kaifeng City, and then we will see who is the real winner.

Brother Yelu Hua sat comfortably in the negotiation hall dedicated to the envoys of the Liao State, with a very humble attitude, but he was a little proud in his heart.

Everything is developing according to the old man's expectations, as long as the old man puts down his face during the negotiation, and does enough water grinding work with them, he is buying time for my Great Liao Kingdom.

Once the Zhou State and the Northern Han Dynasty went to war, the old man must continue to hold out in Kaifeng for a while, and must rescue both Brother Xiu and Yan Yan, and if possible, take away one or two more princes of the Zhou State......

That old man has done a great job for me.

Brother Yelu Hua was proud, and after about a cup of hot tea became completely cool, he couldn't get up.

Although Kaifeng is geographically more southerly than Liao, it is now the end of the cold winter season, with heavy snow flying from time to time, and the north wind is still howling.

The door of the main hall of Honglu Temple was open, and there were a few braziers in the big room, and the howling north wind blew into the house, and the flames of several braziers were also very strong, but Yelu Hugo was still choked by the cold.

Yeluhua looked at the braziers, they were placed a little far away from him, and it was obvious that the positions of these braziers had been moved before he came.

Because, Yelu Huage clearly saw that on the floor tiles less than a foot next to his seat, there were obvious traces of brazier blackening.

"Come on, go and close the gate, after a while, Lord Lu of the Zhou Kingdom will arrive, and it will be like an ice cellar here, wouldn't it be bad."

Yelu Huage ordered a few retinues he brought, officials and miscellaneous servants of Honglu Temple, and there was no one here.

"Lord Taiwei, this ...... I want to close the door, but I have to have a door......"

Only then did Brother Yelu Hua find out that he dared to love the main hall of Honglu Temple...... There is no gate.

Obviously, this is also just demolished, and it was specially dismantled to entertain the envoys of the Liao State.

It turns out that this is also a trick of the officials of the Zhou State, I want the old man to lose his temper in front of you, and I want to see the old man go to the brazier to warm up regardless of decency......

Brother Yelu Hua clasped his hands, wrapped the mink fur on his body again, and entered the mode of the old monk's concentration.

In another room in Honglu Temple, it was as warm as spring, and Lu Duan, who was wearing an official uniform and was drinking tea, was even sweating a little.

"Open the window halfway, it's too hot here, go and see how the Liao envoy is, if it's too hot, take the brazier down a few."

The officials of Honglu Temple responded with tears and laughter, opened half of the window, and ran to the main hall to have a look.

"Lord Lu, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom is sitting on a chair, but several of his entourages have gathered to the brazier to warm up, and in that room, it seems that it can freeze in a breath."

Lu Duan nodded, ordered someone to set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and slowly began to write the terms of the negotiation.

After the opening remarks that showed the strength of Zhou Guobing's strong horses and swallowing mountains and rivers, Lu Duan wrote the benchmark conditions for Zhou Liao's negotiations.

If you want Zhou and Liao not to go to war, you can return the sixteen states of Yanyun first and then talk about it.

Then, Lu Duan looked at it carefully, and felt that it was quite decent, and the ink happened to be dry, so he said:

"Send it to the envoy of the Liao State, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for them, and say that in order not to disturb Lord Yelu's train of thought, this negotiation between the two countries will be carried out through pen and ink."

Let Lu Duan run to the main hall of Honglu Temple to be frozen, he won't do this kind of stupid thing.

By the time the first clause of the negotiation clause was sent, Yeluhua was already about to freeze.

"Someone, help the old man up, and move this table and chair to the edge of the brazier."

However, Brother Yelu soon discovered a sad fact, the tables and chairs prepared for him by the officials of the Great Zhou were all specially made and could not be moved at all.

"Lord Taiwei, this Zhou State official has deceived people too much, it is really hateful."

Brother Yelu glared at the attendant who was talking nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that the old man's hands and feet were frozen and he couldn't pull out the knife, the old man would definitely cut you with a knife.

What is the old man's painstaking negotiation plan for Zhou, and he did not hesitate to give up the old man's crippled body to personally lead the delegation to Kaifeng? Isn't it just to buy time for my Da Liao to build fighters?

At this time, not to mention that the officials of the Zhou State were just a little difficult, that is, they killed all our people, as long as they kept the lives of the old man, Brother Hugh and Xiao Xuan, the old man would endure to negotiate with them again and again.

In ancient times, there was the king of Yue Goujian lying down and tasting courage, and now there is the Liao State Captain to endure humiliation and burden, and when my big Liao Xiong soldiers invade Kaifeng, it is the time when my Yelu brother will go down in history.

Brother Yelu Hua stared at the few attendants who rubbed his arms and legs beside him for a long time, and said slowly:

"Think about the room prepared by the Great Zhou Imperial Court for the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty, the old man is already relieved, go, read the negotiation terms written by the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lord Lu, to the old man."

"Lord Taiwei, a few lowly people can't read."

The few entourages who followed Brother Yeluhua were all Da Liao soldiers with strong bodies, and they came to serve as bodyguards for Brother Yeluhua, and none of them were literate.

Brother Yelu felt that he was very tragic at this time, and the old man was fighting alone.
