Zhao Liang was startled by this sudden sound, and immediately recognized the owner of this voice, his old rival Shangguan Xueming.

He turned his head to look, and sure enough, Shangguan Xueming, dressed as a Liao official, came out of the crowd, walked up to the Empress Dowager Xiao and Liao Shengzong, and talked eloquently: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Weichen is not opposed to fighting and negotiating peace with the Song Dynasty, but the peace alliance must be beneficial to our Great Liao, and whether an agreement can be reached or not, we must find the right way." Like this Lin'an Hou who is full of lies, he will only stir up His Majesty's good thoughts. ”

"Why did Shangguan Aiqing say this?" Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly and asked, "Could it be that this Marquis of Lin'an is an impostor?" ”

"Who is he...... There is no problem, but," Shangguan Xueming turned his head to stare at Zhao Liang tightly, and said with a sad smile: "He said that he was a secret envoy sent by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so it was pure nonsense." The purpose of saying this is actually very simple, it is nothing more than to keep it in our hands. ”

Zhao Liang was angry, and sneered: "You big traitor, what evidence do you have to say that I am nonsense?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao, Liao Shengzong, and all the ministers also wanted to know the answer, and couldn't help but look at Shangguan Xueming, only to see him smile slightly: "Why should Marquis Zhao be angry, and listen to me slowly." ”

He paused slightly, and said, "Not to mention that you killed the father and son of the king of the Southern Courtyard, and you have a deep grudge against Da Liao. Just talking about your relationship with the Yang family is extremely suspicious. When you and Yang Zongbao teamed up to break into the prison of the Criminal Department of Kaifeng Mansion and rob people, you witnessed it with your own eyes; Later, you led the rapid aid division to rescue the besieged Yang Yanzhao, and after escaping from King Xiao, you assisted Yang Yanzhao in defending Lanzhou, causing heavy casualties to the Liao army. From this, it is not difficult to know that your relationship with Tianbo Yang Mansion is extraordinary. And what is the situation of the Yang family, I don't think you adults will know, right? They were the most hateful Khitan faction within the Song Dynasty! Is it possible for people like this to be appointed as secret envoys for peace talks? ”

Shangguan Xueming didn't wait for Zhao Liang to refute, and continued: "I said that his second suspicious point is the problem of timing! According to the Malay report, Zhao Heng led the army, and just arrived on the south bank of the Dahe River today, so that the strength of the entire Lanzhou defense line increased sharply to as much as 400,000, which is twice the size of our army, plus the ambush of our general not long ago, so that the soldiers and horses of Daliao had no choice but to temporarily retreat from the edge, so the Song army is in the arrogant and arrogant situation at this time, how can they take the initiative to send people to negotiate peace when they have an advantage? ”

"Well, if you grasp the advantage, you will bow your head and show weakness, either there is fraud in it, or it is not normal." A Liao general nodded.

Hearing this, the ministers in the tent all agreed, while Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang frowned tightly and were silent.

Zhao Liang looked confused, and before he had time to think of a rebuttal, Shangguan Xueming had already begun to launch a third wave of offensive: "Even if what you said is true, it is really Zhao Heng, a soft egg, who is afraid of our Da Liao, and sent you to secretly come to negotiate peace, but there is no evidence, how can it be proven?" Secret letters? Or is it a token? Take it out and take a look! And there is another thing, has there been a unified idea within the Great Song court? Did Zhao Heng consult Prime Minister Kou Zhun? What is the attitude of the generals of the main battle faction? Do you dare to tell me in detail? We're going to keep it on the books. ”

When Zhao Liang heard this, he immediately became half a cut shorter, especially the last sentence, Shangguan Xueming was too ruthless, knowing that Zhao Liang was most afraid of leaving a record of only a few words in history, but he still deliberately provoked.

At this moment, Han Derang, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Marquis Zhao, the old man is very concerned about one thing and wants to ask you for advice. ”

Zhao Liang was aggressively attacked by Shangguan Xueming

The momentum was a little headache, and when he heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Oh, please give Prime Minister Han Cheng advice." ”

"Don't dare to teach," Han Derang's tone was very calm: "Let me ask you a question first." When you broke through the formation and came to report it, you mentioned that you were going to exchange important information for a prisoner, right? I want to know, what is the relationship between the female general of the Song Army who was captured by our army and you? ”

Zhao Liang was slightly stunned, first subconsciously looked at Shangguan Xueming next to him, and then replied: "There is no special relationship, we are colleagues." ”

Han Derang frowned, and continued: "Oh? Just a colleague can make you risk a lot of danger and go to camp late at night to save you? ”

Zhao Liang smiled awkwardly: "Ah, yes." Is this what you always care about? ”

"No, this is only one of the sections," Han Derang said unhurriedly, "This matter is indeed related to what I want to ask next." Marquis Zhao, since you risked your life to save your colleagues, why did you come to report to us? It stands to reason that no matter whether the Yelujin mutiny is successful or not, isn't it conducive for you to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the camp and take the opportunity to rescue that girl? ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Liang suddenly figured out something, and at the same time found out the real purpose of Han Derang's question, and hurriedly cooperated: "Prime Minister Han, I want to save people, and it is true that His Majesty came to negotiate peace for my family, and it is precisely because of this that I don't want to see the conspiracy of the main battle faction of the Liao State succeed, and then make the war between the two sides continue." If our Great Song really wants to fight, then it is not to come to send a letter to change people, but to directly lead the army to take advantage of the fire to rob! ”

Han Derang's expression was still as unwavering, he just nodded silently, and then stopped speaking.

Shangguan Xueming didn't expect that Han Derang would actually help Zhao Liang tide over the difficulties in such a way, and he was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to refute. And the surrounding civil and military ministers were also discussing at the moment, and suddenly felt that Zhao Liang's motives were indeed worth considering.

Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes flickered, obviously also affected by the topic brought up by Han Derang, and couldn't help but carefully ponder what the young man in front of her said.

Liao Shengzong on the side suddenly said: "Queen Mother, this question of Han Xiang, the child has been wondering just now. If this Lin'an Marquis Zhao Liang didn't intend to help us, then why did he take the risk of coming to report the news? You know, if it weren't for your careful deployment in advance tonight, which broke up the rebellion of the B clan in one fell swoop, our only savior so far would probably be the only one who is really this Marquis Zhao, right? ”

He paused slightly, looked at Zhao Liang and said, "And if it is like what Mr. Shangguan said, Zhao Liang is the main battle faction of the Song Dynasty that is inseparable from our Great Liao, then the situation in front of us will not make sense at all." ”

Thank God! Bless the lights-out patriarch! Zhao Liang couldn't help but shout excitedly in his heart: I'm Nima, fortunately, there are two people who understand Han Derang and Liao Shengzong present, otherwise Lao Tzu would really die in the tiger's mouth this time!

I was nervous just now, and I actually forgot such a convincing thing, and almost let Shangguan Xueming's bastard succeed!

Wow ha, see what else you can do this time!

Sure enough, the real reason behind Zhao Liang's unbelievable operation is to maintain the trend of history, although this cannot be hidden from Shangguan Xueming, but he can't clearly point it out. I can't tell the Empress Dowager Xiao: Because Zhao Liang is a person from the Anti-Crossing Investigation Bureau, in order to maintain the normal historical trend, he has done the job of ventilating the enemy.

Wouldn't that be the same as dragging yourself into the water?

In view of this, Shangguan Xue gritted her teeth angrily, but she had no choice but to stop speaking and let Empress Dowager Xiao decide.

"What Marquis Zhao said makes sense, but," Empress Dowager Xiao said slightly

Laughing: "What Mr. Shangguan said is also the truth. Among them, I'm afraid there are still some things that we haven't been able to figure out. But there's no hurry, I said, although your report didn't play a role, but we still understand the kindness. The Khitan people pay attention to the fact that there is kindness and revenge, and revenge must be avenged. ”

She turned her head to look at Liao Shengzong: "In my opinion, it's better to do this, let's ask Marquis Zhao to stay here with us first, and talk with his colleague for a few days, and then make a decision after we figure out the situation." If it was true that the Song Dynasty intended to seek peace, then let them go; If the two sides want to fight, I will ask Marquis Zhao to work hard to sacrifice the flag for my Liao army, which not only comforts the father and son of the king of the Southern Courtyard, but also boosts the morale of the Khitan, what do you think? ”

"It's all up to the queen mother." Liao Shengzong bowed slightly and replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Zhao Liang sighed secretly in his heart: Damn, what kind of luck is this? I became a prisoner of war in a daze, and I had to wait to sacrifice the flag to others?

Han Po, the commander of the flying cavalry, strode up to him at this time, and stretched out his hand: "Lin'an Hou, please." ”

"Wait!" Han Derang suddenly spoke again: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the old minister suggests that we should still have an attitude of believing what we have rather than believing what we don't have, so as to properly deal with this matter." It's okay for us to leave Lin'an Hou here, but should we send a secret envoy over there to meet the emperor of the Song Dynasty? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao thought for a moment and nodded: "What Han Aiqing means is that if Zhao Heng really has this intention, he does send Zhao Liang to contact, and we can't waste the other party's sincerity, right?" ”

Han Derang nodded: "That's exactly the reason, Queen Mother." The old minister thought that he could ask Zhao Liang, the Marquis of Lin'an, to write a handwritten letter, indicating that Da Liao was also willing to make peace, and asked Zhao Heng to send a formal envoy to talk as soon as possible. In this case, we will be invincible. If there is fraud in this matter, it is the marquis of the Song Dynasty who wrote the letter, and even if it spreads, it has nothing to do with us. ”

"Wonderful, it's really a plan for the country!" Empress Dowager Xiao said happily: "If it can be done, let's talk; If it can't be done, let's fight! Anyway, it wasn't us who came up with the sum. ”

She pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Who do you say?" ”

Han Derang arched his hand slightly: "Since the letter was written by a person from the Song Dynasty, then to send the letter, you should also find a person from the Song Dynasty." According to the old minister, it is better to let Wang Jizhong take a trip, what does the Queen Mother think? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded again and again: "Han Aiqing and I thought of going together, Wang Jizhong was originally an observer of Yunzhou in the Song Dynasty, and he was just captured and returned to Shun Daliao not long ago, and he is familiar with the way over there, so it is perfect for him to go!" I said Marquis Zhao, it seems that I still have to ask you to work hard, hurry back and write a letter. ”

Zhao Liang nodded pitifully, almost wanting to say, "But I can't write traditional characters!" However, he finally endured this, for fear that such a ridiculous reason would immediately make Empress Dowager Xiao turn her face and take him to sacrifice the flag on the spot, so he had to leave the big tent with Han Po and go to the camp of the palace tent army.

After tossing all night, Zhao Liang was already sleepy and exhausted at this time. Han Pozhen placed him in a small independent tent, ordered a small team of guards to keep this place in prison, and then found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked him to write a letter quickly.

Zhao Liang sat alone in the tent and held it for an hour, until the sky was bright outside, and he didn't have the courage to lift the brush and write a few words.

Just when Zhao Liang was worried about how to make a difference after a while, a voice suddenly sounded outside the tent: "I was ordered by the Queen Mother to find the people inside to get the letter." ”
