Chapter 562: Tripartite Talks
After entering, the venue is very large, and there is a stick song and dance troupe playing with musical instruments to praise the grand song and dance.
It's not just Xiao Hui and Li Xiahui who are alone, but also young people who are not tall, and Goryeo officials to accompany them.
This is the first time Wang Yan has seen the world-famous Lao Xiao, and his domineering temperament is obvious. He and Li Xiahui, a tall, cold, white, rich and beautiful, and a famous general with the temperament of a golden iron horse, really stand out from the crowd here.
Wang Yan's arrival also attracted the attention of the absolute majority, each with his own thoughts.
"Pick your own place to sit down." Li Xiahui smiled politely.
Wang Yan acted like he was unyielding, and decisively sat down beside her.
"You ......" Li Xiahui frowned slightly, but did not continue.
"It turns out that the world-shattering Great Demon King is like this. Look up for a long time. Xiao Hui smiled and clenched her fists, but her language was very polite: "The last time the prime minister visited the Song Kingdom, he hated the Song Kingdom many times in the Song Dynasty, all because Lord Xiao Wang was not in the court, which caused the Song Kingdom to have no confidence. ”
"Hahaha......" A group of Goryeo officials around laughed, with a look of disgust and mockery. This means that the whole country of the Song Kingdom is cowardly.
But helplessly, this era is so virtuous, and the Liao court is such a mocking attitude, which has brought about such an atmosphere in most countries' diplomatic occasions.
Even if the Qingtang War was won, most people are not interested in the Great Song Dynasty now, at least in the countries that were politically influenced by the Liao State. It is recognized that the Song State is just a rich fat sheep, and he accidentally won a medium-intensity war, which is not even a nouveau riche in the eyes of the "old nobles".
In the hearts of Li Xiahui and the entire group of Goryeo officials, there were many Song troops, but they were notoriously cowardly and basically inflexible. Except for the Funing army, which can fight and has a relatively high proportion of cavalry, the rest are legless waste. Correspondingly, it is now the heyday of the Liao State, known as two million cavalry, and it is the heart of the world.
It's hard not to surrender if you don't want to return to your heart, regardless of character and policy, the armies of the two countries are about the same on paper, but in this era, cavalry and infantry are definitely different concepts. The difference is basically equal to the difference between heavy mechanization and light infantry in later generations.
Coupled with Xiao Hui's presence, as the god of war who once captured Xingqing Mansion, his prestige and influence here are obviously stronger than MacArthur's obscenity who was stationed in Japan after World War II in later generations.
So just the atmosphere of the mocking face at the beginning, the big demon king's face was almost covered with red lines.
"You hairless boy, without our invitation and letter of state, went to Sanhan in vain to exert influence and make trouble. Today's Song State has no combat power, politics is divided, and your own politics and economy are in a mess, who do you expect to influence? You openly entered Goryeo to make trouble, and you clearly want to divide the minds of Sanhan and Da Liao, what do you think of Da Liao's two million male masters? ”
Kim Ji-myeong, the deputy envoy of the Goryeo Central Authority, was a middle-aged man, and when he said these words in Goryeo, the scene was silent.
"You ......"
Li Xiahui also felt that Lao Jin's words were too much, kneeling and licking the Liao State was indeed the political correctness of Goryeo, but at this point, it was obviously not good to bring the hatred of the Song Kingdom to the outside.
But Li Xiahui could only rely on her father's prestige and looked at Jin Zhiming reproachfully, as a junior, she couldn't casually act as a deputy military minister.
The Great Demon King didn't understand, but he also knew that what he said was not a good thing, and said to the translator of the Song Guoli Department: "Translate it for me?" ”
After the translator was glared at by Li Xiahui with ill intentions, he began to make peace with the mud and selectively translate a relaxed version.
Wang Yan was silent for a long time after hearing this.
Xiao Hui, who was smiling at the clouds moving like the emperor, he knew all kinds of languages, looked at Wang Yan and smiled: "How about Lord Wang, what do you think now?" ”
Wang Yan didn't look at Lao Xiao, looked at Li Xiahui and said, "Actually, it's okay, everything is in my expectation." Today's situation was simulated by various models when I was at the Daimyo's Mansion, and no matter what the route and negotiation method is, it will definitely happen and cannot be avoided. The poor dwarf will inevitably be disliked, and it will not be diverted by anyone's will. ”
Li Xiahui's eyebrows raised slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she gave up-for-tat with him. Just thinking about it, what kind of self-respecting nonsense like "everything is in my expectation" has heard a lot, but even if Song Guo is a little self-conscious, it can be regarded as an attitude and sincerity, there is really no need to give too many mocking faces, and there is no need to use a cold ass to correspond to other people's hot faces.
Thinking like this, Li Xiahui consciously sublimated again, and her image became taller. So he didn't say a word, just nodded slightly to Wang Yan, and drank with his wine glass, watching the song and dance performance absentmindedly.
Another Goryeo official responded to the spirit of Kim Ji Ming, and jumped out with his own lunch box and said: "Song Guolai boy, what is the purpose of your diplomacy this time?" You have to know that diplomacy has real interests, not just lip service? ”
So, once again, they looked at Wang Yan's disdainful expression.
After the translator spoke, Wang Yan said: "The purpose is simple, I want to return Fujiwara Mitsuko." The benefits given are trade, the opening of Beijing Port to the Great Song Dengzhou Port is the most effective and convenient maritime trade route, and the Song State direct trade means what I don't need to say, I know how many benefits there are. ”
As soon as this question was asked, the officials in Goryeo looked at each other, but Li Xiahui was embarrassed, which was a temptation. It is the benefit that his father Li Ziyuan wants but does not dare to take. The reason why Li Xiahui avoided contact with Wang Yan as much as possible was not because she was afraid to talk about this issue, but because she was afraid that Lao Xiao would misunderstand that "Gao Li and Da Song talked about this issue privately".
Now Li Xiahui frowned slightly, although Wang Yan was a little out of place, he was also very smart. This kind of question can only be said in front of Lao Xiao, although it will lead to embarrassment. At least you can test the severity of Liao's anger.
"It's quite personal, and it's quite direct." Lao Xiao intervened with a smile.
Li Xiahui was quite disappointed again, and Lao Xiao said a word of nonsense.
Li Xiahui also understands that Liao is definitely not happy on this issue, but he cannot speak in front of the envoys of the Song State, because the Song State is not a vassal state of the Liao State, but a theoretical ally, especially now that the binding cooperation between the two sides involves many aspects, theoretically it cannot be openly broken.
Xiao Hui was really a little depressed, and she really had a headache, Wang Yan actually made this problem public. However, Li Xiahui at the scene did not respond in time to show her loyalty, which inevitably made Lao Xiao a little embarrassed. According to reason, Liao State can't respond openly, but Goryeo must bring his own lunch box to comprehend the spirit.
Xiao Hui said in time: "I am very curious, who is Fujiwara Mitsuko, why is she in Goryeo, and why is Lord Xiao Wang looking for someone from Sanhan?" ”
"He is the daughter of the Japanese Taisei, my friend. Half a year ago, during a sea trade trip, he was hijacked by Bohai pirates. Wang Yan said.
Lao Xiao stopped talking.
Only Li Xiahui paid attention to Lao Xiao's face and intervened: "Since it was hijacked by pirates, why did Lord Xiao Wang come to find an important person from the Sanhan Imperial Court?" You don't think we're pirates, do you? ”
Immediately, everyone glared at Wang Yan angrily.
Wang Yan said lightly: "I didn't say that the Sanhan court was a pirate, but my Song Kingdom is 100% sure that it was the Sanhan people who did it." In this case, the Samhan Imperial Court has an obligation to investigate and rescue fairly, isn't it? ”
"The incident did not take place in Samhan territory, but at sea, and our Samhan court does not want to be responsible for this, it is the spontaneous behavior of pirates." Kim Ji-myung intervened.
Wang Yan said: "That means that if my Great Song Coast Guard Force starts to crack down on pirates, it will be my own internal affair, and there will be no disrespect to Sanhan?" ”
"You ......" Li Xiahui couldn't help but be speechless.
"I don't believe you, Song Guo has the courage to do this." Jin Zhiming said very forcefully and looked at Xiao Hui.
Xiao Hui was extremely embarrassed, and secretly scolded Jin Zhiming, an idiot, who was surrounded by Wang Yan and didn't know it. Damn, how can Liaoguo respond to such a question head-on?
Xiao Hui knew better than anyone else in her heart that Wang Yan really dared to do this. First of all, he openly looked for Goryeo dignitaries, and the Goryeo fools were surrounded by them, not admitting that they were Goryeo sailors, and saying that they were pirates acting spontaneously. At this point, the Great Demon King stepped on the steps and threatened that since he was not a Goryeo naval army, he would send troops to "suppress bandits".
This obviously complicates matters.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Hui raised the wine glass and drank her own without responding. This made Li Xiahui a little disappointed, and she was so anxious that she could only say: "Lord Xiao Wang's tone is quite tough, just like when he intervened in Qingtang's internal affairs, he was as domineering and awe-inspiring, which scared people into fear." But I don't believe that during this period, you can integrate the court politics of your Song Kingdom? I don't think they'll approve of your troops? ”
Wang Yan's tone became more and more tough, "If it is a national war, of course it needs the authorization of the Zhongshu Sect." But His Royal Highness the county lord thought too much, according to the opinion of the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty Privy Council, there was no Sanhan naval army in the Bohai Sea, only pirates who threatened the interests of the Great Song Dynasty. The Dengju Archon never needed the authorization of the imperial court to crack down on thieves under his rule, so do you need such procedures in Goryeo? ”
Lao Xiao intervened and smiled: "Dengzhou Zhizhou is Wang Gongchen, hehe, when it comes to the appearance and Lao Wang are friends, Xiao Wang should be playing at home, you have such a temper of stabbing everywhere, but Lao Wang doesn't seem to have it?" ”
"Maybe not, but maybe there is." Wang Yan smiled: "I never predict the result, I will only work hard in the direction that is most beneficial to me when I encounter problems." In this blink of an eye, I have grown up from the original family, and I am trying my best to accept new things and new situations, while some old guys are old and rotten. ”
Speaking of this, it seems very embarrassing, and the smell of gunpowder is very strong.
An official from the diplomatic port of Goryeo frowned and said: "The conversation is not a negotiation at this point, and Lord Xiao Wang's theory seems to be: If you can't see Fujiwara Mitsuko, you will send troops?" ”
Wang Yan said: "I will negotiate when I can, but I can't negotiate this time, and even meeting a person requires me to have a conflict with the Khitan warriors." That's what I'm facing. So yes, unless I die in Samhan, I won't see Fujiwara Mitsuko when I leave, and the Dengju Navy will definitely do its best to fight all injustices in the Bohai Sea. ”
"Do you think you can solve the problem and finish the pirates?" Li Xiahui's face was blue.
"I can't finish fighting." Wang Yan said lightly: "But just as it is impossible to eat full, I also eat every day." There is nothing to do once and for all, this is the obligation of the Dengzhou Naval Army. I don't have any other skills, and the victory in the Qingtang War is just a fluke, but I am the best at cultivating a soldier's sense of mission and responsibility. ”
At this point, Li Xiahui's face was black, and the Goryeo officials who had not been threatened for a long time under the protection of the big countries also opened their mouths half-open, and they didn't know how to respond for the time being? But Lao Xiao of Liao State just didn't respond to Song Guo head-on?
Li Xiahui felt a dilemma, Wang Yan was not a god, she knew, but it was recognized that this kid dared to go out of line. As his tone became more and more assertive, there was a strong sense that he would go to war if diplomacy was ineffective.
Goryeo was protected by the Great Liao Iron Cavalry, and if the Goryeo court did not pretend to be forced and directly admitted that it was the Goryeo naval army that was operating in the Bohai Sea, it would be sensitive but not a war for the time being.
But the disadvantage of this is that since those who are not pirates are Goryeo naval troops, they cannot use the stolen silver to buy supplies from the Song State. As soon as it was bought, a trade between the two countries was formed, and Liao was about to jump on its feet. At the same time, it is tantamount to admitting that it was the Goryeo officials who kidnapped Fujiwara Mitsuko.
But if he didn't admit that it was a naval army, he Wang Yan could really send troops to the Bohai Sea without going through the Song court. In that way, although it is not the overall mobilization of the Song State, and the scale of the troops sent is extremely limited, it will also make the regional issue infinitely complicated, greatly increase the cost of Goryeo's occupation of the Bohai Sea, and make the Liao State a joke on the wall.
In her heart, Li Xiahui really worships Liao, but she also knows that Liao's obscenity is no less than that of the Great Demon King, and it is even more ugly. As a hegemon, the Liao State did not like to see anyone rise, and it was not a secret that the Goryeo and Jurchen fought several times because of the policies of the Liao State.
At this point in the conversation, the scene was already very embarrassing, almost forcing the Goryeo court, which had no human rights and no sovereignty, to make a choice?
It's a pity that no matter what Li Xiahui's mentality is, this is exactly what Liao needs.
