…

Xiao Gan escaped from Zhuozhou, rode back to Yanjing overnight, and then went directly to the palace to report the matter to Xiao Puxian.

After hearing this, Xiao Puxian was silent for a long time, and then said, "Didn't you say that Pharmacist Guo would not descend to the Song Dynasty?" ”

Xiao Gan was very ashamed and said, "It's the minister who has lost his eyes, but I didn't expect that Guo Yaoshi is also a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!" ”

Xiao Gan really didn't expect that Guo Yaoshi would also betray Da Liao.

Now, Zhuozhou has fallen, the southern gate of Yanjing has been completely opened, and Yanjing City is really in danger.

Xiao Puxian sighed and said, "Let's discuss it tomorrow." ”

The next day, in the Yuanhe Palace, Xiao Puxian said to the civil and military officials: "The Liangshan army has been hoarded under the Juyong Pass, and it will soon knock on the pass and attack Yanjing." Yizhou Gao Feng and Zhuozhou Guo Yaoshi successively descended to the Song Dynasty, and the Song army had advanced into Yizhou and Zhuozhou, and soon the troops would also come to the city. The current situation in our Daliao is very grim, and it can be said that it has reached the time of life and death. If you have any clever plans, you may wish to speak freely. ”

Prime Minister Zuo Qigong said: "In the opinion of the old minister, you can send an envoy to the Jin State or Shuibo Liangshan to be a minister, because now, Dajin and Shuibo Liangshan are rising like the beginning of the sun, and the army is invincible. My Daliao is full of holes, and my breath is dying, and it may be difficult to save it if I don't rely on one strong person. ”

Zuo Qigong is seventy-two years old this year, but he is deaf and clear-headed.

Han Fang, who was to be controlled in the Ganwen Pavilion, put forward a different opinion, saying: "The minister thinks that it is better to be a minister to the Jin State and Shuibo Liangshan than to be a minister to the Great Song Dynasty. My Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty have a century-old oath and a good historical foundation, and besides, the Great Song Dynasty is a civilized country and a rich country, while the Jin Kingdom starts from the border land, and the Shuibo Liangshan starts from the bandits, both of them are just a group of jackals, and with them as companions, sooner or later they will become their meals. ”

Han Fang was the champion of the imperial examination ten years ago, who was kind and kind, and always advocated approaching the Great Song Dynasty to protect the community.

Zuo Qigong said to Han Fang: "Don't you see the despicable behavior of the Great Song Dynasty?" When our Da Liao was facing the death of the country, they tore up the agreement, took the opportunity to carve up the land of our Da Liao, betrayed their promises, and fell into the ground, such an ally can be trusted? ”

Han Fang said: "The Great Song Dynasty sent troops north, the purpose was to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, these places were originally the homeland of the Central Plains, and it is understandable that the Great Song Dynasty wanted to take them back. The Jurchens are not, the Jurchens want to destroy our Great Liao Temple, this is their ultimate goal, so even if they send an envoy to negotiate, there will definitely be no good results. Therefore, proclaiming to the Jurchens is just wishful thinking on the part of Zuo Xianggong. As for Li Yan, the degree of barbarism is not inferior to that of the Jurchens, forcibly occupying the daughter of the royal family of our Liao State, and being killed by him nine times out of ten, he is really not a gentleman. Compared with the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Tianzi, he is a well-known Dundun gentleman, who is generous to people, even if his subordinates make big mistakes, they will not investigate deeply. ”

A group of ministers talked about each other and exchanged ears.

Some of them are in favor of reducing gold, some are in favor of lowering the Song Dynasty, and some are in favor of precipitation in Boliang Mountain.

Only Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi were silent.

Seeing that all the ministers were in favor of surrender, and no one advocated desperately defending the city and resisting to the end, Xiao Puxian couldn't help but feel sad and painful in her heart - from the bottom of her heart, Xiao Puxian was resolutely opposed to surrender, although she was a woman, she had a strong personality, and advocated that she would rather be broken than broken.

However, now the ministers all suggested that they should seek peace with the Song State, either to the Jurchens or to Shuibo Liangshan.

Xiao Puxian thought about it for a while, and decided to push the boat down the river - Xiao Puxian felt that this was also a good delaying tactic, which could buy more time for further planning in the future.

Xiao Puxian said: "Don't fight, I think all three are desirable." For the Great Song Dynasty and Dajin and Shuibo Liangshan, we all sent envoys to sue for peace, pay money and call the ministers, who of the three of them accept first, we Daliao will take refuge in whom, what do you think? ”

The ministers said in unison: "The Queen Mother is wise. ”

Xiao Puxian looked at Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Gan had already guessed the intentions of Xiao Puxian, so he smiled slightly and said, "The minister has no objections, and everything will be subject to the will of the Queen Mother." ”

Yelu Dashi did not object, and he also understood the intentions of Xiao Puxian.

However, Yelu Dashi thought more far-reaching, he thought: "Yanjing can't be saved, the question is, if Yanjing is not protected, after quitting Yanjing, where will we stay?" With the current strength, if you want to resist the Song army, the Liangshan army and the Jin army from three sides, the possibility of victory is almost zero, so you must plan early. ”

Regarding the question of where to go after exiting Yanjing, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan actually communicated in private.

However, the two have some differences of opinion.

Yelu Dashi believes that we should go west, because the western region is vast, and there is room and room for development.

Xiao Gan believed that he should go north, to the area inhabited by the Xi people, where there was a mass base, which was convenient for expanding the army and surviving.

In this regard, Xiao Puxian Nu actually has her own plans - Xiao Puxian Nu also knows that it will not be too long to stick to Yanjing, but she will not withdraw until the last resort, and once she withdraws from Yanjing, she can only go to Jiashan to defect to Emperor Tianzuo, after all, their husband and wife passed the throne to Emperor Tianzuo's son (that is, King Ye Luding of Qin), therefore, Xiao Puxian Nu is optimistic that Emperor Tianzuo should not resent her, no matter what, they are all family.

On the same day, Xiao Puxian sent Xiao Rong, the envoy of Yongchang Palace, and Han Fang, the envoy of Ganwen Pavilion, to envoy the Great Song Dynasty, and sent Zhang Yan, the official of Tongzhongshumen, and Zhang Wei, an official of Shangshudu, to envoy Dajin, and sent Xiao Huai, the deputy envoy of the Third Division, and Li Maung, the governor of the political affairs, to envoy Shuibo Liangshan.

The latter two roads are not listed for the time being, only saying that Xiao Rong and Han Fang entered from the Baigou River and arrived at the Baigou Post Station first.

When Tong Guan heard the news, he hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Cai You, Liu Yanqing, Yu Wenxu and others.

Cai You proposed: "You can receive them with military salutes, so as to show the prestige of our army." ”

Liu Yanqing and Yu Wenxuzhong were both in favor.

So, Tong Guan asked Liu Yanqing to gather the team outside Xiongzhou City, and he told Liu Yanqing: "Find more tall and spirited soldiers." ”

Soon, Xiao Rong and Han Fang came to the city of Xiongzhou, only to see the Song army lined up to greet them, the military flag hunting, the camp was neat, and the soldiers were in good spirits.

Xiao Rong's face was full of surprise, and then he turned his head to Han Fang and said, "This is a military salute." ”

Han Fang didn't say anything, but he knew very well in his heart that Da Song was showing them military might.

However, judging from the military appearance displayed by the Great Song Dynasty, the military strength is indeed not weak, the equipment is advanced, the troops are sufficient, and the neat team is beyond the bounds at a glance.

Tong Guan and Cai You met Xiao Rong and Han Fang in the Xuanfu Division's meeting room.

Xiao Rong and Han Fang explained their intentions and handed over Xiao Puxian's recital sheet to Tong Guan.

Tong Guan looked at it, didn't say anything, and handed the watch to Cai You beside him.

After Cai You saw it, he said: "Don't accept the land, just call the ministers to pay the money, no, don't accept the land." ”

Han Fang explained: "In the Yanjing area, the composition of the inhabitants is very complex, there are Khitans, Xi people, Bohai people, not all Han people, if you completely accept the land and hand it over to the Great Song Dynasty to manage, it may not be a good thing, so it is the best of both worlds to stay in the Liao State that has been governed here for more than 100 years and help the Great Song Dynasty govern this place." ”

Tong Guan was silent.

Han Fang also said: "Our Da Liao is a good neighbor, and history has proved that if our Da Liao is destroyed, the Great Song Dynasty will get along with the two evil neighbors of Jin Guo and Shuibo Liangshan, and there may be no peace." ”

Cai You was a little impatient when he heard this, so he said in a very strong tone: "There is no need to say anything, in short, if we don't accept the land, we can't accept it." ”

Tong Guan felt that what Han Fang said also made some sense, so he said: "In this way, I will immediately report this recital of the Empress Dowager Xiao to the imperial court with a fast horse to ask the officials to decide, and ask the two envoys to wait at the post station for a few days." ”

Xiao Rong and Han Fang came to the post station to stay.

Xiao Rong felt that there was a lot of hope for peace, so he said to Han Fang: "You are right, the Great Song Dynasty is a civilized country after all, and it is not a bad thing to call them vassals." ”

Han Fang had a bad premonition, and he had a hunch that this might not happen.

Therefore, after listening to what Xiao Rong said, Han Fang said leisurely: "I hope that reconciliation can be promoted, so that the people of Li will be spared the suffering of misery." ”
