Chapter 313: If you want to talk about peace, let's talk about it together

In the face of danger

This point of view is only from the perspective of generals, King Wu did it, but this does not mean that he can take the tiger camp and the two guards to retreat from the big pocket laid out by the Liao army.

After all, this time, Xiao Yan'er didn't just reserve Guo Muer's team for him.

"Kill!"

According to King Wu's military order, the two guards of the Chinese army have just been mobilized, and countless Khitan cavalry figures have poured out on the high slopes of the river valley on both sides as if they were concocted.

After Guo Muer succeeded in the rear army, Wu Wang Gao Youlang would not stand idly by no matter what, after all, it was his most elite tiger camp that was surrounded, but what the Liao army was waiting for was his army "Nuowoer",

The Liao army, which seemed to have 20,000 or 30,000 horses, each gathered into a sharp knife and mercilessly strangled the "big fat meat" brought by King Wu at the bottom of the river valley.

The combat power of the two wings and the guards of the Chinese army was not high, and it was even more collapsed for a while by such a sudden blow of the Liao army, but it was the former army Huben battalion ordered by King Wu to stick to the place became a child that no one wanted, and the defensive position was set up, but no cavalry came to them to touch the head.

"Don't mess around! Don't mess around, stay put! ”

Although the commander of the two guards waved the sword in his hand and desperately suppressed the chaotic army, the officers and soldiers of the two guards who had been confused between the two orders of rushing to the rear army and stationing in place could not re-form their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

King Wu can see the situation on the battlefield clearly, and in this situation, unless all the tiger camps under his hands are all under him, otherwise he can quickly let his entire army out of control just by relying on the increasingly chaotic Chinese army!

Gao Yulang gritted his teeth fiercely, and waved his sword towards the south: "Withdraw!" Everyone obeyed the order, and the whole army retreated south! ”

Forbidden city

When the war report of Beizhili reached the hands of King Yong, Gao Cixiang almost fell unsteadily on the main hall.

King Wu's army was ambushed in the valley of the North Zhili River, was heavily damaged by the Liao soldiers, and most of the army was lost, and even the deputy general of the Huben battalion was killed on the spot, and retreated all the way south to the border close to Dongchang County, and was intercepted and killed by Long Xiang again, until Guo Muer pursued all the way to the victory for more than 300 miles and approached the Shandong border, it was considered to be able to let them go,

Along the way, the Xia army who threw away their armor and corpses on the spot did not know how much they knew, and King Yong did not receive a letter from King Wu about how many soldiers and horses he had lost.

"Your Royal Highness, the prince has lost his troops this time, it seems that he will not be able to pass for a while, and the Liao army outside the city is watching like a tiger and wolf all day long...... It's not as good as ......."

He Zhiran arched his hand towards King Yong on the dragon chair, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping on his face.

"Why don't you move the capital?"

He Zhiran looked at King Yong's gloomy face, nodded heavily and responded, "Yes!" Now we have enough troops in our hands, we can completely break out of the siege to the south, meet with King Wu's soldiers and horses in Shandong, move the capital to Nanzhili, rely on the Yangtze River moat, and let Taiyuan fight with the Liao. ”

Perhaps from the current situation, what He Zhiran said is indeed a highly feasible road, but due to the negative effects brought by this road, King Yong still shook his head a little stubbornly: "Never!" Even if I die in this Forbidden City, I can't move the capital. Once we leave Wang Jing, we may never come back. ”

"But Your Highness, now ......"

"That's it!"

King Yong closed his eyes tightly, raised his hand and pointed at Zhu Yanhai next to He Zhiran, and asked, "Zhu Shangshu, what were the conditions for the last peace talks with the Liao?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, the Liao people demanded that the northwest be redefined between Liaoxia and Tongguan as the new border, and that Tongguan be controlled in the hands of the Liao; Secondly, I was required to pay 1.3 million taels of silver and 1.2 million taels of silk every year as the so-called 'expenses for helping the army' to Datong in Liao. And ......"

Before Zhu Yanhai finished speaking, He Zhiran looked very excited, knelt down to King Yong and said, "Your Highness! Cutting the land and offering this is a covenant to lose power and humiliate the country, and you must not promise them! ”

But King Yong didn't pay attention to He Zhiran, just nodded lightly at Zhu Yanhai, and motioned for him to continue,

"Yes, in addition, the Liao people also asked us to open ports and markets, and to fully trade in the towns of Wuchang, Jiujiang, Suzhou, Yangzhou, and Guangzhou in Daxia."

"Smack!"

Hearing this, King Yong couldn't help it, and flicked his sleeves and threw the blue and white porcelain teacup on the dragon case on the marble brick and smashed it.

"Damn, really hateful!"

Zhu Yanhai and He Zhiran, who were kneeling below, both heard King Yong's words, almost squeezing them out from between their teeth.

Soon, though

King Yong regained his composure, he took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his eyes, looking at the sky outside the hall from a distance with empty and somewhat helpless eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Shangshu, Lord He." ”

"The minister is here!"

"The Xia-Liao border was redrawn on the line of Lanzhou, and Lanzhou belonged to the Liao people. Every year, Daxia provided the Liao people with 1 million taels of coins and 900,000 silk horses, and the mentioned towns set up mutual markets to trade with Liao. This is the bottom line of this king, I don't think the Liao people will refuse, tomorrow there will be a trip to the two of them. ”

"Your Highness, we ......"

He Zhiran was about to say something, but was interrupted by King Yong waving his hand,

"Let's do it, our first priority now is to relieve the siege of the city and take King Wu into Beijing. I'm tired, so you all stand down. ”

"Yes."

He Zhiran had no choice but to respond helplessly, and followed Zhu Yanhai and the two of them to respectfully withdraw from the main hall......

Outside Wangjing City

Liao army battalion

Xiao Yan'er has always gotten up quite early in the morning, and many times even before the day and night sentry has begun to change, she has already seen the light of the fire lit in the big tent of the Chinese army.

But today, there were two anxious people who entered the Liao camp many times earlier than her Xiao Yan'er, quietly waiting for her reception.

"Empress Dowager, the envoys of the Xia Kingdom are already waiting in the partial tent, saying that they want to discuss the matter with the Empress Dowager again on the matter of peace talks."

Listening to the tent guards' manners, Xiao Yan'er, who had just stood up from the bed in a casual pan of phoenix brocade fur, gently picked the tip of her lips,

What do you say? It seems that the one on the dragon chair is a little unable to sit still.

"Let them wait."

Although King Yong took the initiative to bow his head this time and discuss what was right in her arms, Xiao Yan'er did not mean to go out to see the envoys of Xia State immediately, but lightly ordered the guards outside the tent: "Tell Han Dashuai to go with me to inspect the armament." In addition, I was instructed to go down, there was no need for tea in the side tent, and I would dry them well. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

......

That's it

He Zhiran and Zhu Yanhai, who were envoys, sat in the side tent from before dawn until the sun hung high in the middle of the sky, without waiting for any figure to come in.

At first, the two thought that Empress Xiao had never gotten up, and said in their hearts that they had come to wait early to show their sincerity.

How do you know that for half a noon, you can only hear the sound of people shouting and neighing outside, but no one has come to talk to them, let alone Empress Dowager Xiao herself, except for the two silent guards at the door, they have never even seen a tooth doorman.

"Boom!"

Zhu Yanhai, who couldn't bear it, lifted the wide sleeved robe of the court robe with his sleeves and slapped the table heavily, and said angrily with a black face: "This is too unusual!" It's just that you don't take my dignified Daxia in your eyes! This....... This is clearly contempt and provocation! ”

He Zhiran, who was sitting on the side, was much calmer in comparison, slightly closed his eyes and was silent.

"Brother Zhiran, you have something to say!"

The two guards at the door didn't say anything, seeing that He Zhiran, the only one in the room who could support him, didn't mean to take a stubble, Zhu Yanhai, who had sat on the cold bench early in the morning, was even more depressed and angry.

He Zhiran opened his eyes, slowly raised his hand and rubbed his chin, which was already with some silver-white stubble, and responded with a light smile: "Master Zhu, do you still think it was the previous time?" Even if it is contempt and provocation, what can we do with them? Now we are begging others, and they are clearly trying to hang us, what can we do? Wait. ”

As he spoke, He Zhiran subconsciously reached out to serve the tea cup on the willow table in front of him, but unexpectedly took it empty, causing himself to laugh self-deprecatingly, and then turned his face and said to Zhu Yanhai: "Instead of shouting for them to come, it is better to let the two guards at the door give us a glass of water to drink first." ”

"Lord He really looks at it."

Zhu Yanhai glanced at He Zhiran very dissatisfied, estimating that he felt his throat dry when he said it, walked towards the tent door with his hands held high, and said angrily to the two glazed guards: "Is this how you Liao people treat guests?" As envoys of Great Xia, can't we even drink tea? ”

Hearing Zhu Yanhai's angry words, the guard of Mu Ne glanced at his companion opposite, and then bowed to Zhu Yanhai with Liao etiquette, and replied timidly: "That...... Your envoy, I'm really sorry, our Queen Mother ordered, now there is a shortage of water in the barracks, and it can't be wasted, so ...... Therefore, for the time being, I can't pour tea for the two noble envoys. ”

"You ......!"

"Oh my Take-sama!"

Obviously, He Zhiran mentioned it himself, but he seemed to know the guard's answer in his chest, and persuaded Zhu Yanhai to say: "Why should Lord Zhu embarrass himself again, it is better to be quiet here and think about how to respond for a while." ”

"You're just a bunch of bastards!"

The dignified Daxia Officials are still in the book, when did they suffer from this nest of gas, the angry Zhu Yanhai threw off his sleeve robe, turned around and sat back at the negotiation table, his undulating chest bulging like a broken bellows, and He Zhiran, who was sitting next to him, felt that this bamboo boss would immediately spew fire from his mouth........

.....................

Compared with Zhu Yanhai, who was anxious and dry-mouthed, Xiao Yan'er, who was dressed in a sunset red cloud armor and walking in the Chinese military camp, seemed a lot more relaxed than a few days ago, and the generalissimo Han Guangde who followed behind him knew in his heart that the biggest stone in the heart of the Empress Dowager Xiao had fallen to the ground.

Han Guangde looked up at the situation that was already three poles in the sun, and couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "Queen Mother, it's not too early, there are still two people waiting in the tent." ”

"This time, it seems that he is bound to win it, except for Zhu Yanhai, who else will come?"

"Commander of the Northern Army, He Zhiran."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan'er smiled slightly on her beautiful face, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder this high kindness can drive the king of virtue who was born in the army into a corner of peace, he is really a thoughtful guy, and his heart makes people feel afraid." ”

Han Guangde listened to Empress Xiao's praise of Gao Cixiang for no reason, and asked with some puzzlement: "Why did the Queen Mother remember to mention him?" ”

"The old handsome can think about it! Some time ago, this He commander led the Xia army to attack us many times, which made us unbearable for a long time. Although he finally set up a pocket to trap his army, he He Zhiran himself slipped away from under us like a rat. This time in the peace talks, Gao Cixiang knew that we were the leader, but he deliberately sent him over, didn't the old man understand? ”

"A person who has always been against us, and now he has to bow his head and pray to us for peace, no matter who he puts in his heart, he feels quite relieved."

Xiao Yan'er smiled, "That's right, that's what I'm talking about, when the time comes, the anger will be relieved, and the heart will be relaxed. That's why I said that this Gao is kind, he takes one step forward, and he has to ponder three steps in his heart. ”

"Now I really wonder if this man from the west is his kind opponent." As she spoke, Xiao Yan'er's beautiful eyes looked in the direction of Shanxi again.

"It's hard to say."

Han Guangde also smiled slightly, and answered: "After all, there is still a comfort over there in Taiyuan." ”

"Yes, this comfortable sister should be careful, her stomach is full of ghost eyes! Last time, he shouted to me in Taiyuan that when I saw you, I would see if you had the ability to avenge that arrow. ”

Guo Muer, who followed behind with two urns and golden hammers in his hands, and protected Xiao Yan'er every step of the way, heard this comfortable name, so he hurriedly added fuel and vinegar to sue him in front of his sister.

provoked Xiao Yan'er to look at her younger brother's aggrieved appearance, and couldn't help but cover her lips and smile,

"Okay, okay, Sister Hui will definitely take this breath for you then."

Xiao Yan'er, who looked doting, patted Guo Muer's shoulder armor, which was two or three times stronger than herself, and after her eyes bent into a crescent moon gradually stretched out, she turned to look at Han Guangde again, and said lightly:

"Old handsome, Taiyuan will also send someone to contact it, as soon as the matter is over on Wang Jing's side, we should let them express it."

"Yes, Lao Chen understands!"
