Wonder? ”

"Hmm!"

"Hey...... Don't tell you. ”

After playing Zhao Defang for a while, Yang Qi left him alone in a daze, and took the initiative to meet Zhao Pu, who had just come out of the room.

Yang Qi stepped forward and arched his hand: "Zhao Xiangye......"

Zhao Pu's face was ugly, and when he saw Yang Qi giving him a salute, he hurriedly returned the salute, "Tiger Marquis......"

"How is Your Majesty?"

"Not so good......

Zhao Pu had a bitter face, looked around, lowered his voice and leaned into Yang Qi's ear, and said, "That arrow not only pierced His Majesty's buttocks, but also injured deeper bones. Although the imperial doctor helped His Majesty pull out the arrow, His Majesty could not act.

The imperial doctor said that His Majesty needs to recuperate and not move, otherwise he will have to spend the rest of his life in bed......"

"Wouldn't that be a paralytic?"

Yang Qi subconsciously spoke.

Zhao Pu glanced at him with a resentful look.

Yang Qi smiled dryly, "It's me who lost my word......"

Zhao Pu sighed helplessly and said, "Huhou, the old man has something important to discuss with you......

"Huh?"

"Your Majesty is injured now, it is not appropriate to move more, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave Tongtai Pass. Outside Tongtai Pass, the Liao people are pressing forward step by step, and it may be difficult to resist only those gentlemen led by Cao Shu's envoy.

General Shi was robbed in Yuguan, and it is a matter of whether he can get out of the encirclement for a while.

Although there are a lot of Xiangyong near Zhending Mansion, it is obviously unreliable to rely on them to deal with the Liao.

Now the only thing the court can rely on is you, the Tiger Marquis.

I don't know if Huhou can mobilize elite soldiers and horses from the four northwestern provinces and come over to help Tongtai Pass. ”

Zhao Pu looked at Yang Qi's face while speaking tentatively.

When Yang Qi heard this, he just raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Pu, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Pu hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "If the Tiger Marquis can save His Majesty from danger, I believe that His Majesty will not treat the Tiger Marquis badly." ”

Yang Qi pretended to think for a while, opened his mouth, and muttered: "Zhao Xiangye, you should know that the four prefectures in the northwest are hundreds of miles away from here, even if I dispatch troops now, when the men and horses arrive, it will be more than ten days later."

Do you think my father-in-law can last more than ten days with this group of gentlemen? ”

Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed deeply.

After a while, he looked at Yang Qi and said, "What is the best plan for the Tiger Hou?" ”

Yang Qi looked at the north of Tongtai Pass, and could faintly hear the shouting and scolding of the Liao people, and he said, "What does Zhao Xiangye think of the current behavior of the Liao people? ”

"The actions of the Liao?"

"That's right! Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liao State approached Tongtai Pass, and they could have gone down with a drum, but now they are besieging but not attacking, what do you say they are thinking? ”

Hearing Yang Qi's reminder, Zhao Pu fell into deep thought, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at Yang Qi in amazement: "You mean, the Liao people have the meaning of peace talks?" ”

Yang Qi shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the Liao people are waiting for you to take the initiative to talk to them." ”

Zhao Pu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Liao people have an advantage, why do they still want to negotiate peace?" ”

Yang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, I just watched the Liao people besiege but not attack, and eighty percent of them mean peace talks." Besides, regardless of whether the Liao people have the intention of peace talks or not, we must find a way to release goodwill and go to peace talks. ”

Zhao Pu is a smart person, so he naturally understands the meaning of Yang Qi's words.

The most important thing for them these days is time.

The longer it drags on, the better it will be for them.

If they can delay the time until the reinforcements in the country and the reinforcements in the northwest of Yang Qi arrive, then they will have no fear of the Liao State.

"The old man understands, and the old man will go to His Majesty to discuss this matter."

Zhao Pu nodded, turned around and returned to the room.

It didn't take long for Zhao Pu to come out of the room again, with a hint of joy on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Your Majesty agreed to go to the peace talks, and he appointed the old man as the main envoy and you as the deputy envoy."

When Yang Qi heard this, he shook his head decisively, "Don't go!" ”

Zhao Pu was stunned and said, "Why? ”

Yang Qi said cheekily: "I'm afraid of death!" ”

Now that the Liao people have the upper hand, the peace talks will continue to be fought, and the initiative is all in the hands of the Liao.

In case the Liao people first agreed to the peace talks, and then suddenly turned their faces during the peace talks, wouldn't Yang Qi have to follow Zhao Pu to the funeral?

Yang Qi himself has done many bad things, he knows in his heart.

Don't look at Empress Dowager Xiao's frequent letters to Yang Qi to show her closeness, Yelu Xiuge frequently praised Yang Qi in front of people for being far superior to ordinary people.

In fact, although these two people's hatred for Yang Qi was not as deep as Zhao Guangyi's, once they were given the opportunity, they would definitely not mind sending Yang Qi to the Immortal Heaven to serve their god.

Zhao Pu didn't know what Yang Qi was thinking, but when he saw that Yang Qi refused very decisively, he knew that Yang Qi had already made up his mind, and it was useless to persuade him.

"Hey......"

Zhao Pu sighed and said helplessly: "Then the old man will go to His Majesty again to talk about ......."

Yang Qi had his own thoughts in his heart, and Zhao Pu also had his own thoughts in his heart.

In fact, it was Zhao Pu who proposed to let Yang Qi serve as the deputy envoy for the peace talks.

The reason why Zhao Pu elected Yang Qi as his deputy envoy was to use Yang Qi's prestige and the relationship between Yang Jiashilang and the Liao State to create a favorable negotiation scene for the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, he also valued Yang Qi's force.

Judging from Yang Qi's few visits in the palace in Youzhou City, once there is any danger, Yang Qi is the most sure person who can take him to kill.

Of course, if he knew that Yang Qi had gone to the capital once before and offended the magnates of the Liao State, it was estimated that he would not have promoted Yang Qi as a deputy envoy if he was killed.

Zhao Pu entered the room again to discuss with Zhao Guangyi.

Half an hour later, when Zhao Pu came out again, he went to release goodwill to Liao, and the chief and deputy envoys of the peace talks were also decided.

Zhao Pu, the main envoy, and Li Xin, the deputy envoy, were escorted by Li Jilong.

Before leaving, Zhao Pu repeatedly told Yang Qi that he must take care of Zhao Guangyi, and once he died in the hands of the Liao, let Yang Qi and Cao Bin defend Tongtai Pass.

Yang Qi agreed.

Three people, leading a ten-member guard, holding a knotted Yue, opened the city gate and faced the Liao army outside the city.

It turns out that weak countries have no diplomacy.

When you are strong, even if you are a pawn under your command, you will be treated with high standards of courtesy when you go to other countries.

But when you are weak, even if you are the prime minister of a country, you will be humiliated.

The Liao army seems to have enjoyed humiliating the Song people.

Since Zhao Pu and his entourage left the city, all kinds of scolding from the Liao army have come and gone, and they have never stopped.

If it weren't for the fact that the two countries often have diplomatic relations, and the Liao army knows the truth of not cutting the envoys, I am afraid that when they go out of the city gate, they will be chopped into meat sauce.

Zhao Pu and his entourage went through the most difficult part of their lives, and after several tribulations, they finally arrived at the Chinese army tent of the Liao army.

After they were unsheathed, they were brought into the tent of the Chinese army.

After entering the big tent of the Chinese army, they were obviously a little stunned.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

There were six people.

The king of the Southern Courtyard of Liaoguo, sitting at the first place on the left hand side of the Chinese army's big tent, played with a scimitar inlaid with gems in his hand, and looked at Zhao Pu and the three of them with a smile.

Sitting on the main seat in the center was a middle-aged woman, wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, and beside her sat a young man who was trying to put on a deep face, and on the couch where the two of them were sitting, there was a little guy of one year old, rolling and crawling.

The two palace ladies carefully waited for the little guy who was crawling on the couch.

Zhao Pu saw the identities of the two people sitting on the throne at a glance, he didn't expect the Empress Dowager of Liao and the Emperor of Liao to appear here, and hurriedly saluted: "Zhao Pu, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, see the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao, Your Majesty the Emperor of Liao." ”

Li Xin and Li Jilong also followed Shi Li.

As soon as they straightened up, they listened to Jeruxiu's unsalty and indifferent words, "Are you blind, or are you blind to this king?" ”

Zhao Pu smiled awkwardly and bowed again, "See the King of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom." ”

"Humph!"

Yelu Xiuge snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, "This king is now greater than Yue. ”

Yu Yue Nai was the highest rank among the officials of the Liao State, ranking above the hundred officials, including other royal families and descendants.

In the Liao State, Yu Yue's official position is also known as the first official of the emperor.

If it is not a meritorious service, it will never be awarded lightly.

Obviously, Yelu Xiuge relied on this plan to kill the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty and sat in Yu Yue's position.

Obviously he climbed up by stepping on the bones of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu couldn't help but smile at others, bowed down and said, "See that the Liao Kingdom is greater than Yue." ”

As soon as he got up, before he could stand up straight, a childish voice sounded.

"You haven't given my little nephew a gift yet."

Although the little emperor Yelu Longxu is not yet a qualified emperor, he is definitely a qualified uncle.

Although his little nephew doesn't understand anything, he, who is an uncle, takes care of his little nephew's face very well.

When Zhao Pu heard this, he looked at the little guy who was crawling on the couch, climbed to the edge of the couch, lying on his back, shaking the little finch and spraying water, his face was slightly red.

"Empress Dowager Xiao, His Majesty the Emperor of Liao, is greater than Yue, the old man is an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, even if my Great Song Dynasty is defeated this time, the old man cannot be humiliated ......"

As a half-literate person, Zhao Pu is still very dignified.

Jeruhugo grinned, but did not speak.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly and looked at the little emperor.

The little emperor grimaced and said in a deep voice, "You must salute my nephew, otherwise...... Otherwise, I will let Brother Hugh beat you. ”

The smile on Yelu Huge's face was even better, and he beat his chest with one hand very cooperatively, and said, "The ministers must help Your Majesty teach them a lesson......

Zhao Pu's face became even more ugly.

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, she glanced at Brother Yelu Xiu, who was messing around with the little emperor, and said to Zhao Pu quite majestically: "If you want to give a gift to the little grandson of the palace, it is not an insult to you."

Don't look at my little grandson and despise him at a young age, although he is only a little more than a year old, he is already a prince of my Da Liao. ”

Zhao Pu was obviously a little stunned.

A one-year-old prince?

Or the emperor's nephew?

A one-year-old king with a different surname?

What's the origin of this little guy?

Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to see Zhao Pu's thoughts, and she smiled calmly: "The emperor of this palace is in charge, and he has given the surname of Yelu, the little grandson of this palace. That's right...... The youngest grandson of this palace, formerly surnamed Yang. ”

"Hiss~"

Zhao Pu gasped.

He remembered what Yang Qi had said before outside Youzhou City.

The relationship between the Yang family and the Liao State is really not shallow!

Could it be that a long time ago, the Yang family had already taken refuge in the Liao State?

So the defeat of Shuncheng, is it that Yang Qi secretly plotted with Liao?

As soon as this thought rose in Zhao Pu's head, he was quickly strangled to death by Zhao Pu.

He secretly glanced at Empress Dowager Xiao and sighed in his heart.

What a discordant meter!

You must know that Yang Qi is now one of their biggest dependents.

Once he listened to Empress Dowager Xiao's words, he had a falling out with Yang Qi.

Then their fate will probably be very miserable.

After figuring out Empress Dowager Xiao's intentions, Zhao Pule smiled and said, "The old man didn't expect that this little prince would still have a relationship with the Yang family. No wonder he was a prince at such a young age. ”

Zhao Pu didn't care about Shi Li and said, "See the little prince." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't make a plan, she and Brother Yelu looked at each other, and the two looked at Zhao Pu at the same time.

This old guy is really hard to deal with!

is worthy of being the prime minister of the Song Kingdom.

I actually saw through their plan at a glance.

Empress Dowager Xiao stared at Zhao Pu for a long time, and said with a smile: "You want to talk about peace?" ”

Zhao Pu nodded solemnly, "The Song and Liao countries fought fiercely for more than a month, and the number of soldiers, horses and civilians involved reached millions, and there were countless casualties during the period. I, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, with a benevolent heart, am willing to make peace with your country and return the people to a prosperous future. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said: "This war was not provoked by my Da Liao first, it was your Song State that provoked this war." Now it is also you Song Guo who want to make peace.

If you want to fight, you can fight, and if you want to make peace, do you really think that I am a mud man?

Besides, now that I have the upper hand, why should I make peace with you? ”

Brother Yelu Hugh said very cooperatively: "Peace talks? Why peace talks? In the battle of Shuncheng, the elite soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty were lost, and now there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled left.

And there are hundreds of thousands of elite iron horsemen under the command of this king, who can break through the gate of the Central Plains at any time and enter your Song Kingdom. ”

mentioned the battle of Shuncheng, Li Jilong, who was behind Zhao Pu, clenched his fists and almost rushed out to fight with Yelu Xiuge.

It can be said that Yelu Hugo relied on the battle of Shuncheng to not only kill hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, but also stifled Li Jilong's career.

If Li Jilong can't move back from Yelu Huge in this life, not only will he have to bear a lifetime of infamy, but even the entire Li family will have to suffer.

Li Xin seemed to notice that Li Jilong had desperate thoughts and pulled his sleeve.

This scene, Zhao Pu, who had his back to them, couldn't see it.

Hearing Yelu Xiu's arrogant words, Zhao Pu said indifferently: "The prince's words are wrong, in the battle of Shuncheng, although hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my Great Song Dynasty died tragically. But the prince wants to join our Great Song Dynasty, and it is a fool's dream.

The population of our Great Song Dynasty is 40 million, and there are more than 2 million soldiers and horses from all over the country.

Once the prince leads the troops to invade the Great Song Dynasty, not only the two million soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty will rise up to resist, but the 40 million people of the Great Song Dynasty will also resist.

I don't know what means the prince is going to use to deal with my 40 million people in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Yelu Hugo sneered: "Those who dare to block this king will be killed." ”

Zhao Pu said unceremoniously: "Can you finish the kill?" ”
