Sure enough, as Lin Zhao expected, two days later, Tuoba Shi, the envoy of the Western Xia peace talks, came to a letter to communicate with Lin Zhao about the time for the peace talks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Changzuo said with a smile: "It seems that Dongyang is going to Suizhou, and the results are good, but now the arrogant Xixia people have taken the initiative, and we will continue to delay for a few days...... Still is? ”

Finally, the Xixia people took the initiative, and there was a sense of bowing their heads, and the Song Dynasty inevitably felt a little upright. It is reasonable to delay a few ri, grind the sharpness of Xixia, and satisfy the comfort in your heart, anyway, in addition to comparing strength, talking about interests, and then competing to see who is more patient. Therefore, Liu Changzuo is not wrong to have this idea.

But Lin Zhao didn't think so, maybe it was possible before, but now, it was not appropriate to do so.

Liu Changzuo didn't know what happened in Suizhou, so he dared to do so. But Lin Zhao, as a first-hand witness, knows the ins and outs of Suizhou's affairs best.

The Xixia people have already suffered a loss, and at this time, they can still endure Xingzi's initiative to negotiate peace, and I think it is because of Liang Yi's burial that he was captured, so he will bow his head. If it is at this time, it may make the Tangut people have other ideas, but it is not good.

Especially the Empress Dowager Liang herself was also humiliated, in case that woman was impulsive, the situation that she had created with great difficulty would be ruined. Although Lin Zhao is not sure, this time Song and Xia will definitely end in a peaceful situation. But there is one thing that must be done, that is, you can't leave a pretext for the Tangut people, and don't get yourself into trouble. Even if the smoke really rises again, the responsibility cannot fall on oneself. Now while being careful of the Western Xia people, we must also be careful of the Yanguan of Bianjing and the cold-hearted emperor Zhao Ji.

Since the Tangut people want to talk, then just talk, at least stabilize them first. Di Qing and Jiang Leiting were already taking action to find out the news of the Western Xia in all aspects, so that they could better bargain with the Western Xia people.

Moreover, after learning the news that Meng Ruoying was pregnant, Lin Zhao could be said to be like an arrow, and he really wanted to end these things as soon as possible, so that he could return to Bianjing as soon as possible. Therefore, he had no intention of procrastinating.

It is rare for Tuoba Shi to take the initiative, and the Empress Dowager Liang also has the intention of bowing her head, so Lin Zhao naturally does not refuse.

The Western Xia side also seemed to be a little surprised, Tuoba Shiyuan thought that Lin Zhao would delay for a few days, but he didn't expect to agree so happily.

Empress Dowager Liang shook her head and said: "I rescued my wife and was no longer controlled by others, so I was naturally a little careless." Fortunately, I just took this opportunity to discuss with him, and there may be more omissions. ”

Hate!

At the mention of Lin Zhao's name, Empress Dowager Liang felt a deep hatred in her heart for no reason. Although she is not sure, Empress Dowager Liang has a vague feeling that the man who had a night with her that night may be Lin Zhao, and even if she is not, she also thinks so, and other men can't get into her eyes at all. In order not to make myself disgusted, I had to "deceive myself" like this.

Take advantage of me? How can you give up? Even without this matter, Empress Dowager Liang's heart is quite unbalanced. She swore to make a bet with Zhe Wenxin, and decided that men were not credible, and men valued profits and were unkind, but she didn't expect Lin Zhao to take the risk to rescue Zhe Wenxin, and she lost after all.

Look at others, there is such a good husband, but he has nothing, and at the same time, Empress Dowager Liang is envious, and she is a little jealous. In the end, this emotion turned into hatred, but the object of his hatred was not Zhe Wenxin, but Lin Zhao.

She wanted revenge, but reason told her that she couldn't do it now, after all, her younger brother Liang Yi was still buried in the hands of the Song Dynasty, so she couldn't act rashly. It's just that I can't swallow this breath in my heart, and I am planning when I must take revenge.

It's not okay to shoot with an open gun right now, but it's okay to have a hidden arrow behind the back! Empress Dowager Liang said: "Immediately arrange manpower to spread the news in the Song Dynasty, just say that Lin Zhao's wife was captured by us, and he had secretly had contact with Western Xia!" ”

Tuoba Shi was not stupid, he understood the intention of doing this, but said: "Queen Mother, this is good, but now that the person has been rescued, we have no evidence, and there is no proof of death, I am afraid that it will not have much impact on Lin Zhao." ”

Empress Dowager Liang shook her head and said, "I know that empty words are rumors. But what about rumors? If there are too many rumors, it may become true. There is an idiom in the Central Plains called 'three people become a tiger'. Don't look at just a few baseless words, but it's not that no one believes it, as long as someone believes it, even if they have a doubt in their heart, over time, there is something they will suffer...... Hum. Sometimes, a few words are more ferocious than a tiger. Remember, a soft knife is also a knife and can kill. ”

Tuoba Shi already understood the intention of the Empress Dowager Liang, no matter what the effect was, the Empress Dowager did not dare to disobey the orders, and naturally it was to be carried out immediately.

"Hmph, at least I want to make you happy, I heard that the Song Dynasty's officials are very powerful, haha!" Empress Dowager Liang laughed dryly twice, and then said: "Remember, the first thing is to change the state minister, even if you make some sacrifices temporarily!" ”

Tuoba Shi grasped the word "temporary" emphasized in the Queen Mother's words, and instantly understood many things, and it turned out that his responsibility was so simple. But it's not easy to do, but I feel that the pressure on my heart is a little heavier.

"You don't have to be stressed!" Empress Dowager Liang sneered: "Look at the Song people, they sent a soldier to come, do they want to talk about peace?" Thinking of what happened that night, although it was the ultimate happiness, it was a great shame, and the Empress Dowager Liang's heart was full of bad feelings, and her hatred was very strong.

"Yes!"

After the two sides have communicated with each other, the peace talks can begin. The location of the peace talks decided by the two sides was on a hillside in the south of Suizhou City, because there was a poplar tree growing on all sides, so it was called the poplar forest.

It's already May, and the weather is getting hotter, so it's relatively easy to talk in the shade of the trees. The two sides agreed that the armies of the two sides could not approach the twenty miles of the poplar forest, and each other could only bring more than 100 escorts there. And they must stay 100 feet away from the place of the peace talks, and the peace talks officials can only bring two entourages.

That is, the personal guards can only be a maximum of two people. So Lin Zhao planned to take the seed master Dao and Li Cheng to go, and it was very brain-consuming to talk about this kind of thing, and he needed a well-informed and well-minded person to help him pick up the gaps. The Taoist master studied under Zhang Zai, and there was naturally no problem with strategy and knowledge. is also a child of the Qingjian City planting family, both courage and military cognition are good, and he is a good helper for himself.

As for Li Cheng, that is in Suizhou City, Lin Zhao has really seen his swordsmanship, he is a first-class master, and there will be no problem with close guards. What's more, his martial arts with the master are not bad, and he is not worried about what tricks the Tangut people will have when they talk about peace.

Anyway, he didn't have any ideas about Tuoba Shi, and for an ordinary general, it didn't matter to Western Xia. As for himself, Lin Zhao firmly believed that with Liang Yi buried in his hands, Xixia did not dare to act rashly for the time being. But now that the status is noble, how can you easily get into danger? Di Qing and the others must not be at ease, but with Li Cheng's guards, they can be a little relieved. At the same time, almost all the manpower of the Mingyue Sect immediately began to act, from Suizhou to Xingqing Mansion, all parties inquired about the news and comprehensively provided reference for Gongzi.

At the time of the peace talks, Lin Zhao came like this!

Liu Changzuo was stationed twenty miles away with a large army, and Chong Yong in Wudingchuan also received news and was on standby, ready to rescue at any time if there was any emergency. However, judging from the current situation, the Tangut people still keep their promises. There was not a single soldier outside the city of Suizhou, and a military security zone with a width of 40 miles was temporarily formed.

In the morning, Lin Zhao, the squire of the Great Song Dynasty Army, dressed neatly, walked towards the poplar forest with the planter Dao and Li Cheng, and several officials.

By the time they came, Tuoba Shi had already arrived first, and judging from the performance, Xixia was still very sincere. In any case, they themselves are weaker in status, and now that the prime minister has been captured, their momentum is naturally not so strong......

However, Lin Zhao did not rely on this, or was complacent. It stands to reason that Empress Dowager Liang is in anger and will not be so easy-going, why is the Western Xia peace talks so low-key and humble? It would be nice to say if Empress Dowager Liang wasn't there, but now she is obviously in Suizhou City. Could it be that she didn't get angry about what happened that night?

No way! From Zhe Wenxin's mouth, coupled with some information from Di Qing, Empress Dowager Liang is not a very strategic and forbearant person, after all, she is a woman after all, and she will be a little emotional.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Zhao vaguely felt that it was a little unreasonable, so he deliberately kept an eye on it, and some things had to be more careful. Sometimes humility and weakness may actually lead to other schemes.

I want to see what kind of calculation the Empress Dowager Liang is making? Anyway, Liang Yi is buried in his hand, and he is in the active position. No matter what you do, just come and cover the water. If you give it a chance, it's perfectly fine to take a bite back. Since knowing his life experience, Lin Zhao feels that what he lacks most at present is opportunity. If Empress Dowager Liang gave herself a chance to make military merits, she would never be polite!

Of course, first of all, you have to know this toppa stone, and look at the market!

"I've seen Lin Shilang, Tuoba Stone is polite!" The Chinese language of this guy is good, in fact, although the Tangut people created their own writing, but because of the popular Han etiquette in the past, Chinese is naturally fluent. Not to mention Tuoba Shi, there must be a reason why Western Xia can let him come to peace talks. Listening to Di Qing, this guy seems to be quite familiar with the Central Plains culture.

"General Tuoba is polite!" Lin Zhao smiled, looked at it, and thought to himself that it should be this guy who was chasing after him that night!

"The lord of our country has authorized him to be an envoy to the peace talks and to negotiate an armistice with your country." With Tuoba Shi's first words, the peace talks between Song and Xia began.

Although Lin Zhao had the idea of soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, he didn't mind, and came to find fault with Tuoba Stone first!

Bickering, Lin Shilang is a strong point!
