Chapter 389: Hang to the Air
Xiao Tianyan trotted, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and came to the backyard of Zhao Shuo's mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xiao Tianyan, the prime minister of Daliao, visited the prince." In the backyard of Zhao Shuo's mansion, there are only two people, Zhao Shuo and Zhang Chujiu, Zhang Chujiu and Xiao Tianyan have already seen it, so as soon as he entered the backyard, Xiao Tianyan guessed Zhao Shuo's identity and saluted directly.
The reason why Xiao Tianyan did this was because the shock along the way was too great. Wanyan Wu's strategy was so perfect, but judging from the results, it was a miserable failure.
The Jin state was now struggling to deal with the Hamuhei Mongols, while Zhao Shuo had acquired a large portion of the Jin kingdom's territory. One is still at war, the other is at peace.
"The messenger of the Great Liao? Can your Liao country still be called the Great Liao now? Zhao Shuo looked at Xiao Tianyan. You are so anxious to see me, it seems that along the way, the harvest is not small. ”
Xiao Tianyan was dissatisfied with Zhao Shuo's first half of the sentence, but now the Gaochang City of Western Liao, which was besieged by the army of Western Xia, was a little careless, and the Liao Kingdom would be over.
There is also a more important point that Zhao Shuo's strength is not a little bit stronger than that of the Jin Kingdom. Relying on a Western Liao alone, Xiao Tianyan did not dare to confront Zhao Shuo.
suppressed his dissatisfaction, Xiao Tianyan said. "Although I heard some rumors along the way, when rumors are rumors after all......"
Without waiting for Xiao Tianyan to finish speaking, Zhao Shuo snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Seeing that Zhao Shuo was leaving, Xiao Tianyan was in a hurry. "Lord, Lord, please stay ......"
"Stay!" Zhao Shuo's steps stopped in the air. "What a little Xiliao Prime Minister said, does this king need to listen?" After finishing speaking, the steps fell, and Zhao Shuo continued to walk towards the door of the small courtyard.
"Lord, the minister is not ordering the prince, but I really beg the prince to stay." Xiao Tianyan reluctantly pulled down his face.
"For the prime minister of the country who lies, this king is also ......" Zhao Shuo shook his head slightly, and stopped talking, and his steps did not stop.
"Prime Minister Xiao, let me tell you a secret, as long as it is something that our prince wants to know, there is nothing that we don't know." At this time, Zhang Chujiu, who was passing by Xiao Tianyan's side, muttered quietly. "You left Gaochang, in the Xia Kingdom, in Yan'an Mansion, and finally to Chang'an, we know everything on the way. So, I hope you have something to say, so that maybe it will be better for you and your Liao country. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Chujiu hurriedly chased after him.
"Lord Wang, what you saw and heard along the way really shocked the minister, and the minister knew that Liao was already a small country compared to the prince. Therefore, please also ask the prince to raise his noble hand and let the Liao country have a way to live. Although Xiao Tianyan didn't fully believe Zhang Chujiu's words, for the sake of the safety of the Liao country, he was able to bend and stretch, and lowered his noble head.
"Raise your hand?" Zhao Shuo said coldly. "You, the Liao State, have already ceased war with the Xia State, and we are also well water and do not violate the river water, for you, this king has no intention of attacking. But you actually want to be the lackeys of the Jin Kingdom, and you want to take advantage of the Xia Kingdom to send troops to help me, and send troops to punish Xia. ”
"Hmph...... "Zhao Shuo has already walked to the door of the backyard." I didn't let Xia Guo destroy you, I was already a noble hand. Originally, I wanted to discuss the big matter with you, so I asked Li Qianshun to send a message and asked you to send a messenger, but you are good, and you still want to play tricks with me. ”
Zhao Shuo turned around and showed a meaningful smile. "Prime Minister Xiao, when you left Gaochang, were you thinking, if this king and Xia Guo defeated Jin Guo, you would come to negotiate, and if Jin Guo pressed this king and Xia Guo to fight again, you would make a detour to ask for help, waiting for an opportunity to help Gaochang break the siege."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo left the backyard directly.
This time, Xiao Tianyan was anxious. Zhao Shuo said what he thought, which made him believe what Zhang Chujiu just said.
"Second Lieutenant Zhang, Captain Zhang." Zhao Shuo left, Zhang Chujiu was left in the courtyard, and Zhang Chujiu had already walked to the door of the backyard at this time, Xiao Tianyan hurriedly rushed behind Zhang Chujiu in a few steps. "Ensign Zhang, help, help."
"Hehe, Prime Minister Xiao." Zhang Chujiu was expressive, with a helpless face. "I've said everything I need to say, but you just don't listen."
"Second Lieutenant, you have to save my Liao Kingdom." Xiao Tianyan's tears were about to fall. "As long as I can relieve my Liao country of this difficulty, in the future, my Liao country will repay me with a generous courtesy."
Zhao Shuo left, just to dry Xiao Tianyan. For Xiliao, Zhao Shuo is still very interested. Zhang Chujiu knows this.
Therefore, now that Xiao Tianyan said this, Zhang Chujiu pretended to frown in contemplation. "I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. The prince is a descendant of the royal family, the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty have been fighting for a hundred years, just like the current Jin Kingdom, the prince has ideas for you. ”
"We are willing to cede the land, and we can all cede the land east of Stone City. As long as Gaochang is kept. Xiao Tianyan said.
"What did you do earlier, and I'm only talking about it now." Zhang Chujiu let out a long sigh. "It's late."
"This ......" Xiao Tianyan looked embarrassed. The way he looked just now was to earn some face for Liao. Then when you negotiate with Zhao Shuo, you can cut less land, lose less money, and lose less.
"You go back and wait first, I'll ask in private to see what the prince's attitude is." Zhang Chujiu did not rashly agree.
Regarding Zhang Chujiu's answer, Xiao Tianyan was obviously dissatisfied. Go back and wait, when will it be? Is Gaochang City besieged? I don't know when, it will be captured by the Xia army. Wait at this time, how to wait?
Zhao Shuo is not in a hurry, Liaoguo can't afford to wait.
"Second Lieutenant Zhang, please help, let me see King Song for a while, just see you again." Xiao Tianyan said, took out all the buffles on his body, and stuffed them to Zhang Chujiu.
"Hey~!" Zhang Chujiu pretended to shirk it, and his face showed a look of embarrassment. "What is Prime Minister Xiao doing here, this, oops, this ......"
"Ask the second lieutenant for help, help, help......" Xiao Tianyan was already close to pleading.
"In that case, Prime Minister Xiao, you wait here, I'll try again." Zhang Chujiu said.
"Okay, I'll leave everything to Second Lieutenant Zhang." Xiao Tianyan knelt on the ground and made a big salute.
"Prime Minister, please get up." Zhang Chujiu helped Xiao Tianyan up. "Then the prime minister will wait a little longer, and I will go and talk to the prince again."
"There's Second Lieutenant Lao Zhang." Xiao Tianyan said.
"Don't go around, because the prince doesn't know when he will be persuaded by me to come back, and if the prime minister is not there when he comes back, it won't be good." Zhang Chujiu kindly reminded.
"Okay, without news of Second Lieutenant Zhang, I'll keep waiting." Xiao Tianyan nodded and said.
Zhang Chujiu turned around, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and caught up with Zhao Shuo who had not gone far in a few steps.
