Forcing Xiao Xi to sit down is a small victory.

However, even at the table, after a few rounds of wine according to etiquette, the exchange of words did not stop.

In the Dutingyi, the Liao envoys were constrained as if they were in prison, and the news from the outside could not come in, and the news from the inside could not get out. So when it came to the banquet, there was very little room for Xiao Shisan to enjoy, and the news he got was often deliberately leaked to him by the Song people.

"If your country insists on encroaching on Goryeo, then there is nothing to talk about." Han Gang's tone seemed to be very forceful, leaving no room for tactfulness at all.

Xiao Xi's attitude did not soften because of several times the water and wine: "The Goryeo royal family is stubborn and has no remorse. In the midst of the battle, I could not spare their lives. ”

"Don't be a sideliner. Could it be that the Goryeo clan, no matter how far or near, has been exterminated by your country? Lu Huiqing asked with a sneer,

"Xuanhui didn't know that the princess of Goryeo would marry a courtier, and she would return to her brother. Hundreds of people were in the capital city, and the soldiers were together, and even the city was reduced to ashes. ”

"None of the hundreds escaped?!" Of course Lu Huiqing didn't believe it, but he was here for a while, and he didn't have the right to interfere in military affairs.

"What your country did in Cochin is actually how different it is from what the country did in Goryeo?"

Han Gang asked rhetorically: "Jiaozhi killed tens of thousands of my Chinese people. The national feud can be avenged, which is the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. I don't know how many people of your country have been killed by Goryeo? ”

Seeing the rivalry at the banquet, Guo Kui just looked down at the wine glass in front of him.

As everyone knows, it is Han Gang who leads to the trouble. The destruction of Goryeo can also be said to be in Han Gang's plan. As long as you can use Goryeo to drag the Liao State, then everyone has to praise Han Gang's mastery of strategizing, which is comparable to wind music. Han Gang's current toughness is presumably to achieve this purpose. Guo Kui was very curious, what method could Han Gang use to drag the Liao State in Goryeo, only relying on those unworthy sailors?

Guo Kui was completely silent, he was a military general, but it was okay. And Lu Huiqing was also silent. Bargaining with the Liao people like merchants, it was Han Gang who lost face. If Xiao Xi is, it is still Han Gang who makes a big mistake. In this case, what else to do, just leave it to Han Gang.

Of course, Xiao Xi refused to give up, he came with the momentum of capturing Goryeo, but the Song people didn't care at all, he was blindly optimistic. On the contrary, he couldn't care less about the Song people's counterattack. That was at stake in the battle in Goryeo.

Each had their own thoughts, and the banquet ended quickly. Xiao Xi didn't need to be helped, he wasn't drunk at all, but he was escorted back to Dutingyi.

Han Gang and Lu Huiqing said goodbye to Guo Kui one by one, Guo Kui didn't say a word in the palace today, and he didn't mean to let go afterwards. But Han Gang and Lu Huiqing have something to say.

"Before, Yukun said that it depends on the sincerity of Liao. If one day, the sincerity of the Liao State is sufficient, then Yelu Yixin intends to usurp the throne, Yukun, you are ready to oppose sending troops? ”

"How is that possible? Of course, troops! Kuang Fu orthodoxy, survival and extinction, this is what distinguishes China from barbarians. ”

As for Youyan, that's the reward. What could be more justifiable? Han Gang has always been looking forward to Yelu Yixin being able to usurp the throne as soon as possible.

"Back then, every time Xiao Xi entered Beijing, the court had to be chaotic, but now it has changed, the court is quiet, and Xiao Xi is restless." Lu Huiqing sighed, such a result was completely unthinkable a few years ago.

"There is no diplomacy for a weak country." Han Gang said.

Originally, in terms of military strength, Liao was strong and Song was weak, so the envoys of Liao were always able to succeed in the Daqing Palace. But now that Song is strong and weak, although Xiao Xi is an envoy with rich diplomatic experience, in front of the aggressive Lu Huiqing and Han Gang, he can only advance and retreat.

"That's a good point." Lu Huiqing let go of the reins and patted her hands, "You can publish it in the newspaper and make a headline for today's event." ”

"Newspapers? I don't know if they are interested. Han Gang glanced at Lu Huiqing, with this one here, the express report would be regarded as nothing.

In the end, Lu Huiqing offended the clans, nobles and wealthy businessmen in the capital too deeply. The news of Lu Huiqing's return to Beijing was not published in the express newspaper, let alone his wonderful performance in the palace. flipped through the recent newspapers, and the name Lu Huiqing was not even mentioned in it. However, the Liao envoy was frightened by the artillery, and was turned over and over again. The people of Tokyo liked this set the most, so the editors took the trouble to repeat it.

Not only this time, but the previous Song-Liao war, the main force of the two express newspapers was also on the battle situation in Hedong and Hebei. And the battle west of Tongguan, even Wang Sunchen's name is mentioned more often than Lu Huiqing. In the comparison between Chong Ge and Lu Huiqing, Chong Ge is also far out. Long before Lu Huiqing arrived in Shanxi, he was already a famous general

Due to the emphasis on publicity, among the people at the bottom, many people think that Lu Huiqing got the spiritual land with the help of seeds, but he just picked up the cheap. Compared with Han Gang's rescue work, of course, it is far behind. Compared with Guo Kui's side, it also accounts for more beheadings, more land recaptured, and the rest is just mediocre.

Although such a statement rubs a little bit of the facts, on the whole, without Lu Huiqing's support behind him, the final result will not be so perfect. The core area at the foot of Helan Mountain was firmly occupied by the official army, and several party clans from Qingtongxia were unable to compete with the official army. Among them, Lu Huiqing plays a greater role than the seed, and it is much greater.

"Definitely interested." Lu Huiqing said with a smile, but quickly restrained her smile. I saw him say again, "The century-old beacon smoke in Kansai has finally come to an end." After the Yuanyuan, Hebei enjoyed 70 years of peace, and now it is the turn of the military and civilians in Kansai to recuperate. However, although the Western Army is elite, if the horse is put in Nanshan, a few years later, it will be lost to everyone, and then it will be like the Hebei Forbidden Army, how to come in handy when the country is in distress? ”

"It's not that it can't be used." Han Gang frowned, "The Hebei Forbidden Army can still be on its own after training." This is the case with the officers and troops in Hedong, and the Hebei Army will be no exception. ”

Lu Huiqing sneered: "What can you do if you train in a hurry?" In Kansai, there are good generals and strong soldiers, and they can drive the party, so it is easy to win. And Hedong, although it was a crisis from the beginning, the elite soldiers of Hedong were trained by Yukun when you first became an official in Hedong, and although they were defeated this time, it was not a crime of war. Only the forbidden army in Hebei is the worst, similar to the Beijing camp. If his cousin had led the army to invade the Liao realm, all the troops under his command would have been the Western Army, and there would have been no such defeat. ”

Han Gang shook his head and said, "After all, it's because I don't train." If you don't practice your hands for a day, you will be born in Nanshan, not to mention a few years, half a year, a year will be abolished. However, there is no more suitable place for self-training than the battlefield. The elite of the Western Army was bought in exchange for going into battle several times a year. Now, the Yuanfeng New Testament has been agreed that it will not be destroyed in a short period of time, regardless of whether it is north or south. If there is no war, there is no way to talk about military training? ”

Lu Huiqing shook his head lightly, Han Gang actually had a fixed opinion in his heart, and now he is just pretending to be stupid.

"Around the Great Song Dynasty, there are many places where you can use soldiers. Don't believe Yukun, you haven't thought about it. Lu Huiqing said.

In Wang Anshi's house before, there were many things that could not be said in detail, but now there is plenty of time, and I can say it in detail for a while.

Han Gang's thoughts, Lu Huiqing could see clearly, but he felt very vague. It is clear that Han Gang is bent on promoting qi science, and Lu Huiqing has long understood this. But to say that he is vague, but it is indeed vague, what will become of Han Gang's qi science if he continues to develop. At this point, Lu Huiqing has not yet come up with a result.

But now that I'm going out, there's no need to compete for a while. Now it's not difficult to deal with it for the time being.

Han Gang, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, is almost harmless. It's like a hedgehog as long as he puts up his thorns, whoever comes up will suffer a big loss.

Of course, hedgehogs don't often forget to throw stones in the water, making it impossible for people to live in peace. Lu Huiqing also understood that Han Gang had just stopped a little now, and after a few days, he didn't know what he would do.

The pox method was made by Han Gang, as well as the various effective products of the Ordnance Supervisor, as well as the track in Fangcheng Mountain, all of which were made up by Han Gang. As long as he relaxed a little, Han Gang would stretch his hands to all corners, and even Lu Huiqing couldn't figure out where so many whimsical ideas came from.

However, Lu Huiqing quickly gave up her conjecture and thought that it was enough to use Han Gang's invention with peace of mind.

Han Gang also sighed a little, Lu Huiqing really wanted to do a career in Hebei, and the previous speculations were a bit like a villain's heart.

But Lu Huiqing is not a fuel-efficient lamp. As soon as Wang Anshi left, he began to implement the hand practice method. Now guarding Hebei, even if it is not a propaganda envoy, the resources that can be used are not idle, and it is still easy to do something.

But what does this have to do with Han Gang? That's what the two governments have to worry about. If Lu Huiqing can be distracted by the two mansions, Han Gang will support him with both hands.

The two had their own demands, and it was easy to reach an agreement. You don't have to write a contract, you just need to sign it. Nodding, in the night, parting ways.

Lu Huiqing left, and walked very neatly. It has disappointed a lot of people.

And Shen Kuo returned to Beijing, Su Shi also returned, and Su Shi's sworn enemy Li Ding, the official reinstated Yushi Zhongcheng, actually entered Beijing at the same time as Su Shi. Even the official ship on which the two of them were taking entered the port at the same time. The officials who went to greet the two of them were inevitably a little embarrassed when they met. The biggest headache is Zhang Dian, Li Ding and Su Shi have to greet him, but he even bumped into him.

Xiao Xi hadn't left yet, he was still waiting for the queen's second meeting.

"It's been a lively autumn." Han Gang held the new issue of "Nature" with the fragrance of ink, and said that it was none of his business.

"The capital has always been lively." Sitting opposite Han Gang, Li Xin said calmly.
