I can't finish killing!

Even though Jeruxiugo didn't want to admit it, he knew it in his heart.

"Humph!"

He could only snort coldly and express his dissatisfaction to Zhao Pu.

The more Zhao Pu spoke, the more energetic he became, the more powerful he became, and he said loudly: "If you dare to invade the south, the old man believes that not only the 40 million people of the Great Song Dynasty will resist." I'm afraid that the two families in the northwest will not sit idly by.

Although hundreds of thousands of elites of our Great Song Dynasty died in Shuncheng, the elite soldiers in the hands of the two families of Zheyang added up to four or five hundred thousand, and they had the strength to fight in the Liao State. ”

When Zhao Pu spoke, he was full of momentum, and he did not have the humiliating feeling of a defeated country, but threatened the Liao country loudly.

"Hehehe......"

Empress Dowager Xiao laughed loudly and said, "You are really good at telling jokes, could it be that you amused Zhao Guangyi by telling jokes, so that you sat in the position of the prime minister of the Song Kingdom?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao made a set of gags, which easily resolved the momentum that Zhao Pugang mentioned.

Zhao Pu said in a deep voice with a dark face: "What does Empress Dowager Xiao mean by this?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "This palace said that you are telling a joke." The prestige of the Zhejia army, the palace has also heard a little, if the Zhe family is willing to help the Great Song Dynasty, as early as when you invade my Da Liao, the soldiers and horses of the Zhi family should appear on the land of my Da Liao.

However, where are the soldiers and horses of the broken family now?

As for the Yang family......"

Empress Dowager Xiao reached over and hugged her little grandson who was crawling on the couch, and chuckled: "This little grandson of this palace, since he was born, has never seen his world-famous uncle.

This palace specially brought him here this time, just to let Yang Yansi meet his lovely nephew.

After all, this little guy has half of the Yang family's blood flowing in his body. ”

After a pause, Empress Dowager Xiao's voice became a little heavier, "This palace has heard that Yang Yansi is a person who attaches great importance to affection, and I think he will not ignore his own nephew." ”

Zhao Pu's brows furrowed when he heard this.

Empress Dowager Xiao was full of affection in and out of her words, but what Zhao Pu heard was a strong threat.

Empress Dowager Xiao was telling him that with Yang Qi's nephew as a hostage, Yang Qi might not be able to break the net with Liao Guoyu.

Neither the Zheyang family will help the Great Song Dynasty.

"Empress Dowager Xiao's words are ...... bad"

Empress Dowager Xiao raised her hand to stop Zhao Pu from continuing, only to hear Empress Dowager Xiao say lightly: "This palace hopes that you will remember clearly, now it is my Great Liao who has won your Song Kingdom, not your Song Kingdom that has won my Great Liao."

Now that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Daliao are coming to Tongtai Pass, as long as the palace is willing, with a wave of his hand, he can easily catch your Song Emperor.

Do you think that under such circumstances, what qualifications do you have in the Song Kingdom to negotiate terms with our Da Liao? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao's words were full of threats, Zhao Pu's heart was beating wildly, and he pretended to be calm and said: "According to Empress Dowager Xiao's meaning, there is no need to talk about it?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly and said, "It's not that there is nothing to talk about. Song and Liao are brothers, although my Da Liao now has the advantage, but this palace is not a murderous person, and he is not willing to watch the lives of the people in the world.

It can still be discussed, but all the conditions should be decided by my Da Liao. ”

Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This is impossible!" ”

The corners of Empress Dowager Xiao's mouth hooked up a hint of sarcasm, and she sneered: "Do you have any choices in the Song Kingdom?" ”

When Zhao Pu heard this, he lowered his head in humiliation, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Then I don't know what conditions your country has?" ”

"Conditions......"

Empress Dowager Xiao pretended to think for a while, and said with a smile: "This palace can't think of this condition for a while, but this palace has a proposal. ”

"What proposal?"

"Song and Liao are brotherly states, and now since they want to make an alliance under the city, in order to show their sincerity, this palace wants to meet Song Emperor Zhao Guangyi in person and talk to him about the conditions face to face."

"No way!"

Zhao Pu decisively refused.

Empress Dowager Xiao stood with her eyebrows sideways, and said coldly: "Brother Hugh, pass the order and send troops!" ”

Jeruhugo stood up abruptly, walked out with a cold face.

In a hurry, Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "The old man can't be the master of this matter, he needs to go back and inform His Majesty, and His Majesty will decide." Empress Dowager Xiao, can we go back and discuss it for a day? ”

"Brother Hugh, you wait first."

Empress Dowager Xiao spoke up to stop Brother Yelu Xiu, who was about to send troops, and looked at Zhao Pu coldly, "Toast and don't eat and drink, this palace thought that you Song people were the most knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that you would be stubborn, and you would not agree until you were forced to send troops."

Now, there is one more condition to be added to this palace.

When the alliance under the city was made, the palace not only had to see Zhao Guangyi, but also Yang Yansi.

This palace will give you half a day, go back and discuss it.

Half a day later, if the palace did not get an answer, the palace sent troops to rush into Tongtai Pass and go to see Zhao Guangyi in person. ”

Zhao Pu opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal, and finally could only bow down and say, "In this way, the old man will leave first." ”

Zhao Pu and the three of them left the Liao army camp under the supervision of the Liao army.

As soon as the three of them left, Yelu Xiuge frowned and returned to his seat, and asked Empress Dowager Xiao in a deep voice, "Queen Mother, now that my Daliao soldiers and horses are coming to the city, I will be able to break through Tongtai Pass and capture Zhao Guangyi alive in an instant."

The big victory is imminent, why does the Queen Mother want to negotiate peace with the Song State? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, and did not answer Yelu Xiuge's question, but asked rhetorically: "If you break through the Tongtai Pass, capture Zhao Guangyi alive, and then drive straight down and invade the Song Kingdom, how sure are you that you will be able to defeat the Song Kingdom?" ”

Yelu Hugo slowly frowned and did not speak.

The reason why he was silent was because he knew it in his heart.

With the current strength of the Liao State, it is easy to invade the Song State, but it is difficult to defeat the Song State and conquer the Song State again.

Although in the battle of Shuncheng, he killed hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses of the Song Kingdom, but as Zhao Pu said, the Song Kingdom has a vast land and a large population, and there are more than two million soldiers and horses.

In addition to the 200,000 forbidden troops who guarded the most elite in Bianjing City, the large and small state capitals in the Song State were also full of soldiers and horses such as Xiang Jun and Xiang Yong.

The equipment of these soldiers and horses may not be as elite as the forbidden army of the Song Kingdom, but their strength is not weak.

Most of them are soldiers and horses that the Song State conquered before other small countries, and some are veterans left over from the wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

These people can fight.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the Liao State to conquer the Song State, at most, it is like before, rushing into the Song State, plundering it, and then returning to the Great Liao.

Yelu Hugo said unwillingly: "Since I can't conquer the Song Kingdom, I can also bite the three states and two prefectures from the Song Kingdom, and add new land to my Great Liao." ”

"Hey......"

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, looked at Yelu Xiuge meaningfully and said, "Big brother, the Song people are a very peculiar nation. It is very difficult to conquer them by force.

More than 70 years have passed since Shi Jingjiao dedicated the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to me Daliao.

After more than seventy years of rule, we have not yet conquered their hearts.

Their hearts are still towards the Han family and their homeland.

It can be seen from this that force cannot conquer them.

Once we forcibly invade the Song Kingdom and occupy their land, even if we get the Song Kingdom land for a short time, we will not rule for a long time.

They will resist endlessly, dragging our Da Liao into a rotten quagmire, until they bring down our Da Liao and make me disappear from this world. ”

Yelu Hugo glared and said urgently, "How is it possible? Once my Great Liao conquers the Song Kingdom, this king will definitely kill those who dare to provoke my Great Liao rule at the first time. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head and said, "As Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the Song Kingdom, said, you can't kill the people of the Song Kingdom." Think about the Northern Yan in ancient times, and then think about the Northern Wei Dynasty in ancient times, Fu Qin, and so on.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the land of the Central Plains is still in the hands of the Han people. And the Northern Yan, the Northern Wei, the Fu Qin, and so on, have disappeared. Or blend in with them, become Han Chinese, or be killed.

And that land is still in the hands of the Han people.

Now, of course, they call them the Song people. ”

After a pause, Empress Dowager Xiao said faintly: "When the first emperor was in power, he often mentioned them to the palace. After the first emperor returned to heaven, the palace has been paying attention to them and observing them.

Gradually, the palace found a way to truly conquer them, a way to really let the Khitans rule them. ”

Jeruxiu was taken aback and asked, "What way?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled faintly, "Learn from them, learn from their culture, learn from their food, clothing, housing and transportation." When everything about our Khitans is the same as that of the Han people, in their eyes, we are not considered aliens. It's people like them.

When the time comes, we will conquer them, and they will obediently obey us without resistance. ”

Yelu Hugo said in a deep voice: "Over the years, you have worked hard to promote sinicization and vigorously promoted Han people as officials in my Daliao territory, is this what you are doing?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded slowly, "Yes, the Central Plains is a rich land, which should not belong directly to the Han people, but also to my Khitans." I, the emperors of the Great Liao, are all coveting that piece of land.

It's just that they have not been able to find a way to rule the Central Plains for a long time.

Otherwise, why did the ancestors lay down such a large piece of land back then, and then returned it and supported Shi Jingjiao and others to be puppet emperors?

Do you really think that the ancestors just want to hear those Han puppet emperors and call them father?

Who doesn't want rich land?

It's just that it can't stand on it, so it's forced to support the puppet.

Now, Hongu has found a solution.

As long as we implement sinicization, when all our Khitans become Han Chinese, it will be the time when we will really conquer that land.

Until then, we just need to treat it as a pasture and keep harvesting it and weakening it.

When the time comes, we will be able to conquer it with ease. ”

Brother Yelu Xiu, the most noble person in the Liao Kingdom, was a little confused at the moment.

looked at Empress Dowager Xiao with a stunned expression.

He didn't expect that the woman in front of him, who had grown up with him since childhood, would unconsciously do so much, think about it so much, and even find a solution to the things that the ancestors couldn't solve.

Are you still the innocent Xiao Yanyan I knew at the beginning?

He never doubted Empress Dowager Xiao's words.

Whether it was the naïve Xiao Yanyan in the past, or the domineering and scheming Empress Dowager Xiao now, they are all the people he loves deeply.

Otherwise, he would not have supported her faithfully.

If it weren't for Liaojingzong Yeluxian who took the lead in marrying Empress Dowager Xiao as the queen, Yeluxiu might not have been able to grab his beloved Empress Dowager Xiao as the princess.

After all, the Empress Dowager Xiao back then was the most shining pearl in Shangjing.

People who like her can be lined up from the palace to Youzhou City.

And Jeruxiugo is the shyest one.

No one knows that this decisive and meritorious character who fought on the battlefield like a god of war is actually a coward who can't even say how much he loves someone.

Since it was he who desperately supported Empress Dowager Xiao after the death of Liao Jingzong, he had let everyone know that he loved Empress Dowager Xiao deeply, but he still couldn't say a word of love for her.

At this moment, facing the person he loved the most, he was in a trance.

I don't know if he is thinking about the good times he spent with Empress Dowager Xiao when he was young, or if he is thinking about state affairs.

"Big Brother......

Empress Dowager Xiao's light call woke up Yelu Hugo from his trance.

Yelu Hugo coughed dryly twice, and said heavily: "I'm afraid it will take a long time......"

Empress Dowager Xiao was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty used five years and almost succeeded. If he hadn't died young, I'm afraid he would have become a celebrity in history.

It took him five years, but the palace prepared for five years, and it took 20 years to implement sinicization.

With five times as much time as him, Hongu will naturally be able to achieve even more brilliant results. ”

"But...... Twenty years later, we're all old......"

Yelu Hugo hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Empress Dowager Xiao was happy and laughed very happily, she laughed loudly: "Twenty years later, we are old. But my emperor happens to be in the prime of life. In that year, Qin Shi Huang Fen VI Yu Lie unified the six countries.

The palace used twenty years to pave the way for my emperor, in exchange for a rich Central Plains land, in exchange for a more powerful Liao State.

This deal, this palace is not a loss! Hahaha......"

Yelu Hugo stood up and solemnly beat his chest with one hand, "Da Liao for me!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao also said solemnly: "For me Da Liao!" ”

The little emperor also clenched his fists and shouted, "Da Liao for me!" ”

Brother Yelu Xiu and Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the little emperor at the same time, and then looked at each other again and laughed loudly.

After laughing, Yelu Xiuge looked at Empress Dowager Xiao and asked, "Then how should we talk about peace talks this time?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile: "This palace believes that the eldest brother can defeat Zhao Guangyi in one fell swoop, so on the way here, this palace has been thinking about this matter. Since peace talks are going on, it is natural to get more benefits from Song Guo.

In previous years, we had to invade the Song Kingdom frequently to obtain property.

In the future, we will not spend a single soldier and let the Song Kingdom pay tribute to us every year.

This is far more cost-effective than stealing it from the Song Kingdom by ourselves.

Not only that, but for Zhao Guangyi, who dared to invade my Daliao this time, we also have to teach him a painful lesson. Let him not dare to violate my Da Liao for the rest of his life. ”

"You proposed to meet with Zhao Guangyi to discuss conditions, just to teach him a lesson?"

"Not bad! Come with your ears. ”
