Zhang Bin was also taken aback, and then watched the expressions of the Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials change, especially listening to the inhalation sound in the hall one after another, he felt that something bad was going to happen.

The fear of the Great Song monarchs and ministers of the Liao State was far beyond Zhang Bin's imagination.

For a long time, the Song State could not defeat the Liao State, which has even become the consensus of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the common people think so, so although the Lanyuan Alliance signed a covenant to lose power and humiliate the country, and sell it for temporary stability with property, the Lanyuan Alliance is still considered a great achievement by the imperial court and the people of the world.

But now, the Liao State actually wants to make peace with the Xia State, what do these two enemy countries want to do?

If they unite to send troops against the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty may be destroyed in an instant.

No matter what the real result of the Liao State and the Western Xia uniting to send troops against the Great Song Dynasty was, the vast majority of the Great Song monarchs and ministers did not have much confidence, and even people like Wen Yanbo had already decided that they must not be the enemy's opponents.

"What do you say, your Liao Kingdom wants to make peace with Xia Kingdom." Zhao Ji couldn't digest the news for a while, so he couldn't help but ask again.

"Returning to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao thinks that such a great event as peace and relatives will naturally tell your country. Of course, if His Majesty's side has different ideas on this matter, it can also be discussed. A look of pride flashed on Xiao Xi's face, the reaction of the Great Song Junchen was even better than he expected, and he even thought that maybe without making something happen at the border pass, the Song people would immediately agree to their request, and it was likely to be even better than they imagined.

Zhao Ji forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and was about to ask a question, but Wang Anshi had already rushed in front of him and scolded Xiao Xi sharply: "Is the ambassador trying to coerce me into Da Song with the matter of being close to the party." ”

Xiao Xi said lightly: "Why did Xianggong Wang say this. ”

Wang Anshi sneered: "The ambassador traveled thousands of miles to Tokyo City and told me about the Great Song Dynasty, if it is really a simple good news, now that I know the Great Song Dynasty, I will send a happy money when the time comes, and if the ambassador has nothing else to do, he can go north and return to China." ”

"What a strong Wang Anshi." Zhang Bin secretly praised in his heart, thinking that it was indeed a wise move to let Wang Yan go in the early stage, otherwise if Wang Anshi did not rush to the front to express his toughness today, the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers would probably be frightened by the Liao people and obediently agree to the request.

Xiao Xi sneered: "Since Wang Xianggong said so, then today I will lead the mission north to return to China, but if my Daliao army hunts with the soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom, if there is anything that accidentally crosses the border, please forgive your monarchs and ministers." ”

This is a naked threat, the face of the Great Song Dynasty monarch and minister changed again, Wang Anshi's face turned red with anger, and he wanted to continue to refute and reprimand.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yanbo preemptively said this time: "The ambassador might as well say clearly, how to avoid forming an alliance with the Western Xia Kingdom." ”

"Dog thief." Zhang Bin was so angry that he scolded in his heart, but then he saw that many people in the hall were relieved when they watched Wen Yanbo snatch Wang Anshi's words, and he felt very helpless in his heart, thinking that these people were really afraid of the Liao people to the core, and if they wanted to change this phenomenon, they would not be able to win a few battles.

Xiao Xi saw that the scene had returned to the situation he expected, but he no longer paid attention to the angry Wang Anshi, and said to Wen Yanbo: "Xianggong Wen is really a loyal minister who is dedicated to the country. I have already discussed with the Xia State about the peace between my Great Liao and the Western Xia, and as soon as the matter of peace is completed, the Western Xia will divide a fertile grassland in the northeast of the Hetao Plain to my Great Liao, which is regarded as a dowry. If your country thinks that there is something wrong with this matter, you can use an equal area of land to compensate for the loss of our Daliao and not related to the party, such as dividing the land of Daibei to my Daliao. ”

Wang Anshi scolded before Wen Yanbo: "It's ridiculous......

"Wang Aiqing, don't be impatient." Before Wang Anshi finished speaking, Zhao Ji interrupted him, and then said to Xiao Xi: "The ambassador might as well go back to the protocol house to rest first, and then reply to the ambassador after we have discussed this matter." ”

Wang Anshi trembled with anger, but considering that there was a Liao envoy there, he was unwilling to refute the Son of Heaven, so he could only endure it and did not say anything more.

Xiao Xi's face was even more proud, and he casually bowed his hand to Zhao Ji: "Before the foreign minister went south, Xia Guo and his personal envoy had already arrived in Shangjing, so I hope your country can make plans as soon as possible." The foreign minister retired first. ”

After speaking, Xiao Xi turned around and wanted to leave with Yelu Shiwu, who had not spoken all this time, but his face had been very tugging.

Zhang Bin suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Wait." ”

Wen Yanbo scolded sharply: "Zhang Bin, what do you want to do, step down." ”

Xiao Xi looked at Zhang Bin with disdain, stopped at his feet, and asked, "What else is going on in Yangwu County?" ”

Zhang Bin ignored Wen Yanbo and Xiao Xi, but saluted Zhao Ji respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please ask Rong Weichen a few things to ask the two ambassadors of the Liao State." ”

Zhao Ji hesitated slightly, and said politely to Xiao Xi and Yelu Shiwu: "Those two ambassadors stay for the time being, Zhang Qing has something to ask quickly!" “

Zhang Bin turned to Xiao Xi and Yelu Shiwu and said: "I heard that the northeast of your country is pressed out of the tiger water, the five countries are located in dense mountains and forests, mostly black soil, there is a Jurchen clan here, has always been unruly, in recent years, there have been repeated rebellions, your country has repeatedly suppressed rebellions, there are mutual victories and defeats, although forcibly suppressed, but your country's army has accumulated no less than 10,000 casualties, and consumes a lot of grain and grass, and the control of the Jurchen clan is not as good as before. ”

The disdain on the faces of Xiao Xi and Yelu Shiwu gradually disappeared, and their expressions became slightly stiff, Xiao Xi was about to deny it, but Yelu Shiwu had already preemptively said: "What's the matter, the Jurchen clan was not suppressed by my Da Liao Iron Cavalry in the end." ”

"I heard that there is a Donghu tribe in the north of your country, which integrates the descendants of the Turkic people, and calls itself the Mongolian department, the population is gradually increasing, everyone is good at riding and archery, and the battle is brave, and they have repeatedly attacked and harassed the northern border passes of your country, and your country has sent troops to pursue it to no avail, but there are many losses." Zhang Bin continued to say coldly.

Yelu Shiwu snorted coldly: "Those miscellaneous pieces of the Mongolian Department are just some horse thieves, who have never engaged our army head-on, and are good at escaping, otherwise they would have been killed by my Great Liao Iron Cavalry." ”

"I also heard that Xijing Road, the main grain-producing area of your country, has suffered a drought this year, and the grain output is less than half of that of previous years." Zhang Bin didn't pay attention to what Yelu Shiwu said, as long as the other party admitted it, so he was very glad that Yelu Shiwu answered first every time, if Xiao Xi, the old fox, didn't admit it, this matter would not be easy to handle.

Yelu Shiwu smiled and said: "So what, if the food is not enough, my Daliao Iron Cavalry will go to rob other people's food." ”

Yelu Shiwu's words were so arrogant that they immediately made the Great Song monarchs and ministers in the palace extremely angry, but few people dared to scold them.
