In the end, Guo Yaoshi did not express his final decision in front of the envoys of Song Liaojin and Jin, but just made a haha and temporarily suppressed the matter. He is not a stupid person, of course he understands how much trouble he will cause if he really takes a stand, and he can't afford to provoke any of these three forces.

What he could do was to set up a banquet again to entertain the envoys of the three parties, and make some empty and useless flatteries during the banquet, and then tried to find out their bottom line from the mouths of the envoys, so he personally sent them out, and also arranged for Wanyan Wushu and his party to live in Zhuozhou City - at least before he came up with the right idea, the envoys of the three parties had to stay in Zhuozhou City for a few days.

It wasn't until Sun Tu, who left at the end, went out that Pharmacist Guo let out a long sigh of relief: "This thing is really difficult to do." ”

"Boss Guo, in fact, there is nothing difficult to do, as long as we divide which side gives more benefits, we will return to whichever side, why bother so much?" A man with a short figure and a scar on his face couldn't help but speak. This is a brother who has followed Guo Yaoshi for the longest time, named Yan Hu, the most upright, and the most fierce in battle, and he has won his trust, so he doesn't have too many scruples when he speaks.

"Huzi, what you said is simple, if you can really distinguish the high and low from their words, the general will not be so embarrassed." Yu Wanyao immediately explained.

Yan Hu suddenly opened his big eyes like double copper bells: "This can't tell the difference?" If you want me to see it, the sincerity of the Song people is the greatest, not only giving us enough benefits, but also sending gold to ......"

"But the people in the south are also the least credible, and their words are hard to count." Yu Wanyao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that you haven't dealt with the Song people, you should know how cunning and treacherous they are." ”

These words made Yan Hu's expression froze, obviously thinking of something, and immediately scolded something in a low voice, and then said: "Then cooperate with the Jurchens, they, like us, have already made enemies with the Liao people, and they just happened to deal with the Liao people together." Anyway, I can't trust the Liao people, the Khitans who died in our hands before were not one thousand but eight hundred, would they really let it go so easily? ”

"But the biggest threat to us is the Liao people." Guo Yaoshi spoke again: "Looking at the attitude of the Liao envoy, I am worried that the Liao army is really on the way here. That Xiao Sixun's toughness seemed to be confident, and his silent performance after the arrival of the Jin people made Guo Yaoshi feel even more uneasy.

"But the words of those Jin people are the most unreliable, although they have won many victories in the north, but how easy is it to eat the entire Liao country in one bite? It seems to me that they are only here to stir up the situation here, and even if they fail, they have nothing to lose, but if we really let us use them, we can clear some trouble for their southward journey. Pharmacist Guo continued, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Qi Da, another subordinate on the side, also nodded and said: "What the general said is that I also see that the Jin people are unreliable, they said that as long as two months, a large army will come south, and it is completely empty and white fangs for us to use for their purposes." If we really believe, we are being used by it. ”

At this moment, the people present suddenly fell into a tangle again, and they still didn't have a decision. At this time, a young man who was much younger than them suddenly spoke: "Father-in-law, I have an opinion, I don't know if it can be done. ”

"Da Lang has an idea? Let's hear about it. Pharmacist Guo suddenly perked up and quickly nodded. This righteous son of mine is quite good at martial arts and strategy, and even higher than his subordinates. But because of their identity, they must not be reused. But he is also low-key, and he has never been double-minded because of this.

At this time, seeing that he had a countermeasure, the others also looked at it expectantly. I saw that the big man smiled slightly: "Judging from the current situation, we can only find one backer, but my father-in-law is worried about the threat of the other two." That being the case, it's as simple as a first-come, first-served basis. All we have to do is tell the three envoys that we are willing to submit, and then ask them to send their horses to receive them. ”

"Hmm......" Guo Yaoshi groaned slightly, but still hesitated: "Then what if they attack us after entering the city and take away my military power?" ”

"Then just don't let them into the city. And I believe that soon, another army will come, and let them fight again, and we can reap the benefits, wouldn't it be better? Da Lang quickly replied: "As long as we hold Zhuozhou, we are not afraid that they will refuse to recruit us." This is called selling three goods, first come, first served! ”

"This plan is really feasible...... Yu Wanyao took the lead in nodding in agreement: "It is also the most beneficial strategy for us, General!" ”

"It's just that it's not authentic enough, it's not cool enough."

"But this can also test which of the three of them is the most sincere, and you can give it a try."

Several henchmen put forward their own opinions, and most of them agreed with Da Lang's strategy, that is, Guo Yaoshi was already moved at this time: "Da Lang is really sober enough, then according to what you say, things will be settled tomorrow." Next, it depends on which of the three parties has more sincerity. ”

As his voice fell, the matter was completely settled.

￥￥￥￥￥

Sun Tu led the people back to his residence with a solemn face, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he quickly ordered: "Everyone raise their spirits, bow and crossbow winding, I'm afraid there will be an accident after dark." ”

"This ...... How could the general have such a judgment? Hua Rong said a little strangely, as for the others, they had already moved quickly, occupying several of the most defensible positions in the house, as long as an enemy dared to come, whether it was from the main gate or from the courtyard wall, they could be discovered and attacked at the first time.

Sun Tu said only after entering the hall facing the gate and taking a seat: "I have already felt the strong killing intent of the Liao envoy, and he looked at me even more quickly. Judging from the current situation, the Liao people have completely fallen into disadvantage here, and all they can do is to take a risk, completely eradicate us, and cut off the back road and thoughts of Guo Yaoshi. Hmph, this is just the leftover thing that our ancestors played, does he really think that he is Ban Dingyuan? ”

Ban Chao Ban Dingyuan, who is a famous figure in history, pointed out a completely different path for future generations of envoys - what if they encounter hostile forces with the same purpose when they go to other countries? Instead of making compromises and raising their bargaining chips, they will make a decisive move and kill the envoys of the hostile forces! In this way, the other side has no way back, so it can only cooperate with it.

Such a strategy is simple and crude, and it has a lot of consequences, but it is the only solution when faced with a dangerous situation. Obviously, today's envoys of the Liao State can only make this choice.

Hua Rong had also read the book and knew these allusions, so he was immediately shocked, and as soon as he agreed, he took a bow and arrow, and prepared for defense.

Sun Tu and Wu Song Luda, on the other hand, sat in the hall and waited for the enemy to come to the door, but the weapons of the three of them had all been placed in a position within reach. Suddenly, the whole courtyard was filled with slaughter, just waiting for the enemy to crash into the door as expected.

The sky soon darkened, which made the already quiet Zhuozhou City fall into a silence, and even the chirping of a few spring insects was extremely loud at this time.

At this time, a group of people were running quickly through the empty streets, and after avoiding a group of patrol soldiers, they rushed straight to the courtyard where Sun Tu and them were. It's really as expected, someone is going to attack the Song envoy.

Before and after quietly coming to the courtyard, the twenty people first froze, and with a gesture of the leader, they quickly separated, and then one by one jumped up like eagles and falcons, and looked at the courtyard wall that was many feet high, and easily climbed over, and the blades in their hands were unsheathed at the same time, and they were about to fall into the courtyard in just a moment at the head of the wall.

At the same time, in an alley half a mile away from the courtyard here, a group of men who were also dressed in night clothes stopped in place, Xiao Sixun stared at these guys with a surprised expression, and said softly: "What kind of road is that?" Jurchens? Why did they attack the Song people? ”

No one thought that it was not the Liao people who took the lead in attacking the Song envoys, but the Jin people who had just entered Zhuozhou!

As soon as Wanyan Wushu was about to jump down, there was a string sound from the side, and the sharp arrow broke through the air in an instant, making the few people who were just about to make a move were stunned, and hurriedly raised their knives to defend themselves. But this arrow was just a signal, and then there were sharp arrows whistling from the left and right and high in front of them at the same time, sprinting all around them.

The Song people had already taken precautions, which made Wanyan Wushu's eyes flash a hint of strangeness, but the movements on his body were not affected, and with a bow, the person had decisively swept down, and at the same time saw the momentum of an arrow, the scimitar slashed out, and with a ding, it was just split away, and the person had landed safely.

The other Jin people also knew that this battle must be resolved quickly, so although a dozen or so sharp arrows flew in, they still jumped into the courtyard decisively, some of them were fast enough to block the abrupt arrows, and two or three were unsuccessful and were nailed by the arrows. But even so, it did not stop their determination to kill, and after only one meal on the ground, they once again slaughtered like a fierce tiger, approaching the crossbowmen in the shadows.

Since these Jin people dared to come across most of the Liao Kingdom with twenty people, they naturally had their confidence. From the end of the Yan Wushu down, everyone is one in a thousand in the Jin Army, and this accident and injury will not make them feel afraid at all.

Wanyan Wushu took the lead, the sword light flashed rapidly, and he had already protected his body, his footsteps were like electricity, but he was directly attacking the main hall where the candlelight was still lit.

After seeing such a momentum of these enemies, Sun Tu was also slightly stunned, but immediately, the battle intent in his heart was also ignited, and he immediately broke off, with the knife in his hand, and the person followed and rushed forward. At the same time, there are also Luda and Wu Song!

An assassination turned into a frontal fight in an instant, and outside the courtyard, the Liao people had also rushed straight over, but the number was more than that of Song and Jin combined, there were fifty!
