Not to mention that Zhao Ji was squeezing his cronies and servants, raising money to prepare for the formation of a new army, thousands of miles away, Tong Guan was frowning at this time, looking at a few guys in strange costumes in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The costumes of these people are somewhat like Khitans, but there are some differences, Tong Guan is no stranger, a typical Jurchen.

Standing in front of Tong Guan, these Jurchens were arrogant, they looked at Tong Guan presumptuously, and when they saw the handmaidens behind Tong Guan, their faces showed greed, and at the same time they were a little shameless, and some of them were talking in a whisper in Jurchen words.

Although Tong Guan didn't understand Jurchen words, it was not difficult to judge from the shocked and frightened expression of the interpreter that what these Jurchens said would definitely not be anything good.

His face suddenly darkened.

"Li Shanqing, could it be that the golden envoy has never practiced etiquette before coming here?" He asked, raising his voice.

The one known as Li Shanqing was the only Han mixed in this group of Jurchen envoys.

He was not only one of the members of the mission, but also an interpreter, and when he heard Tong Guan's words, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, and then the Jurchens asked him what Tong Guan said, and he dared to ignore Tong Guan, but he didn't dare to hide it in front of the Jurchens.

When they heard that Tong Guan was questioning why Jin Ren didn't know how to be polite, those people laughed even more insolently.

"What did they say?"

Tong Guan didn't understand Li Shanqing's words in translating these Jurchens, so he directly asked Zhao Liangsi, who was in charge of the interpreter.

Zhao Liangsi is Ma Zhi, the one who brought back the Great Song Dynasty from near Yanjing when Tong Guan and Zhou Quan were envoys to Liao. After entering the Song Dynasty, he presented the countermeasures of the Lian Jurchen to attack Liao, which was even approved by Zhao Ji, and he was also appointed as the secretary.

This time in Liao, Tong Guan also transferred him, and the army listened to him.

Zhao Liangsi's mood at this time was really complicated, he heard Tong Guan's question, and it was not good not to answer, so he said euphemistically: "They are saying that the Jin people have not been founded for a long time, and they still don't know the etiquette ......of the Great Song Dynasty."

"They are saying that the etiquette of the Jin people is different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, only respecting the strong and not the weak." Li Shanqing, the interpreter of the Jin people, said it directly.

Tong Guan's forehead jumped, and he almost wanted to give an order immediately to let the surrounding soldiers slaughter all these bold golden envoys.

But he couldn't.

Now the only hope that can save him is the Jin people, and he is still counting on the Jin people to recover the land of Yanyun for him.

So he could only pretend not to hear Li Shanqing's words clearly, and first retreated a few handmaidens, and then said: "The golden envoy is here, it is not a serious matter, what is the use of using words in vain?" ”

Without waiting for Zhao Liangsi to respond, Li Shanqing rushed to translate the words of the golden envoy: "Hao Lu Bojin said that he originally came at the invitation of the Great Song Dynasty this time, and he did not want to come himself, and the Great Song Dynasty has not yet presented him with a gift to express his welcome, where can he get down to business?" ”

"China's business is that these dogs and traitors are doing bad things!" Tong Guan scolded secretly in his heart, but had to clap his palms.

Suddenly, some soldiers offered cotton satin, gold and silver, and the golden envoy smiled, but one of the golden envoys said again, and Li Shanqing immediately clapped his hands, obviously applauding.

Zhao Liangsi was shocked and angry, and his hand was almost on the hilt of the knife.

These golden envoys came with him, and they were originally very peaceful along the way, but after entering the Song camp and seeing Tong Guan, they suddenly changed and became very arrogant, with no etiquette at all.

It's intentional!

As far as he knows, after the Jin people captured Shangjing and Zhongjing of the Liao State, they also faced a dilemma, and there was a plague in livestock, and the veterans were tired, and it would take a while to really help the Great Song Dynasty move troops.

He told Tong Guan all this, but Tong Guan's performance made Zhao Liangsi extremely disappointed.

"This noble man said, in addition to gold and silver, those handmaidens can barely enter the eyes of the Jurchen nobles, so please give it to Tong Shumi." Li Shanqing said.

Tong Guan was furious at first, and then laughed dumbly.

A few handmaidens, although he took him with him to serve, he could be regarded as his favorite person, but compared to the powerful and famous people, what is this?

"Tell them that when the covenant is fulfilled, they will not have to give thanks." Tong Guan Road.

When the Jurchens heard the translation, they looked at each other a few times, and then they all laughed.

From the initial rudeness, to the later blackmail, to asking for women, these Jurchens have only one real purpose, which is to test Tong Guan's bottom line!

Now they understood Tong Guan's eagerness to make a covenant.

Tong Guan regarded them as real brainless barbarians, and he was really stupid as pigs.

"Our Dajin is willing to help Song attack Liao, but Song must be rewarded!" That Alobo Sumire said.

"Please!" Tong Guan breathed a sigh of relief.

The two sides began to discuss the price, the Jin people were really lions, just asked them to move troops, and asked the Song people to pay five million yuan, Tong Guan spent a long time, and pressed the price to three million, and he couldn't hold it down anymore.

Immediately afterwards, there was the ransom fee, and the Jin people helped the Song to attack the Nanjing Road of the Liao State, and then handed over the land south of the Great Wall to the Song State, but these lands needed to be redeemed by the Song people. Not only that, but the Song Kingdom also needs to give the Golden Year coin, and the amount of the New Year's coin is one million guan.

Tong Guan agreed to these requests.

At this point, he had become a red-eyed gambler, betting everything he could bet on, whether it was really his own or not.

Zhao Liangsi listened to Tong Guan bargaining with the Jin people, retreating little by little, and giving up a large number of benefits to the Jin people, he became more and more depressed and sad in his heart.

He once held official positions such as Lang and Qing in the Liao State, but because he saw that the Liao State was about to perish, he thought of taking this opportunity to join the Song Dynasty, not only to find a future for himself and his family, but also to end the feelings of the family and country that the Han people hid in their hearts. But the big song in front of him is really the big song he wants to work for?

When he heard that the Jin people were gaining an inch, and even proposed to ask for the population of Yanyun's land, he couldn't help it anymore, you must know that many of his relatives and friends stayed in Yanyun: "This matter is not proper, you must not agree!" ”

Tong Guan raised his head suddenly and glared at him with blood-red eyes: "Get out!" ”

"Dashuai, I really can't agree, if these terms should be given, we will get Yanyun, and it will only be a vacant land......

"Let you out!" Tong Guan shouted.

A guard stepped forward and forked Zhao Liangsi out of the house, Zhao Liangsi stood outside the house, staring at the door blankly, stunned for a long time, and could only sigh.

Tears rolled down his cheeks.

"You just did a bad job, now the marshal wants to reach an alliance more than anyone else, if you can't reach an alliance, after the marshal returns to Beijing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save his life, Zhou Quan can keep an eye on him." Beside him, someone muttered quietly.

"He ceded the population of Yanyun to the Jurchens, and Zhou Quan would not let him go!" Seeing that the person who spoke was also a Liao man who had taken refuge in Tong Guan like himself, Zhao Liangsi said coldly.

"You still don't understand that there is no money in the court to fight a second war, so the court is preparing to issue a second war bond, and this time is extraordinary...... If the local people of Yanyun are not driven away, how can there be so much land to support the war bonds? Dashuai's matter is not his idea alone, I am afraid it is the common wish of countless people in Beijing! ”

Zhao Liangsi heard this, and was shocked.

He thought about it, there was only one person in this world who could stop such a stupid and crazy thing!

Thinking of this, he pulled away and wanted to leave, but before he could take a few steps, he was immediately stopped.

But it was the guard sent by Tong Guan: "The handsome man ordered you to go back quickly!" ”

Zhao Liangsi's heart sank, and then he thought that he had never been familiar with Zhou Quan, but he had been working under Tong Guan, and it was impossible for the other party to trust him, so he sighed in his heart, so he could only hang his head, follow the guard, and returned to Tong Guan's house.

Seeing the golden envoy pull a crying woman out, Zhao Liangsi recognized these women, who were originally Tong Guan's favorite maids. This dead eunuch is clearly inhumane, but when he sent out the army, he still brought beautiful women, and no one in the army dared to say this......

The Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are all in the state of extinction.

"Fang Cai Benshuai is a little anxious, please forgive me, secretary." About after the agreement was reached, Tong Guan was in a better mood, with a smile on his face, and apologized to Zhao Liangsi.

Zhao Liangsi only chattered and didn't dare to say anything more.

"I know what Secretary Cheng means, but he just pities the people of the Northland, if we really want to take care of the people of the Northland, the only way is for us to recover Yanyun before the Jin people. I have heard that the lord of Liao has fled to Yanyun, this person is absurd, in this desperate situation, he will inevitably go against the grain, and he will be even more suspicious of the Han people in the Liao army. No matter how rampant the Jin people are, they will never dare to plunder the people above the borders of our Great Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Liangsi was skeptical of Tong Guan's last sentence, so he said: "Dashuai, will the Jin people really stop at the Great Wall and dare not go south?" ”

Tong Guan looked up at him, and after a while, he said slowly: "Isn't it you, Chao Chinese Wu, the one who is most familiar with the Jin people, is also you...... Do you think the Jin people will go south? ”

Zhao Liangsi's face suddenly became extremely difficult to look at.

"If Yanjing can be recovered, the Jin people will go south against the alliance, and there is nothing to worry about, the Great Wall is dangerous and insurmountable. Therefore, everything depends on you, don't the Liao people have a resentful army, their general is named Guo Yaoshi, and the secretary Cheng has an old one, the secretary Cheng, hurry up the time, persuade him to raise righteousness, and the court will not hesitate to reward the marquis! Tong Guan said again.

Zhao Liangsi was ordered to leave the camp, but he was at a loss in his heart.

Tong Guan is not stupid, from the attitude of the envoy of the Jin State, he also sees the danger, which is contempt for the Great Song Dynasty, and even treats the Great Song Dynasty as a piece of fat that can be slaughtered at will.

But he has no way out, so he can only cling to the straw of Lianjin and Liao. There is no way out of Tong Guan, as well as Zhao Liangsi himself, as the first person who initiated the Lianjin Expedition, his personal wealth and even his net worth and life are all in this matter.

As Tong Guan said, if they could have taken Yanjing earlier, things would still be possible...... The only thing that puzzled Zhao Liangsi was why the Jurchens dared to despise the Great Song Dynasty so much.

Didn't they kill a prince by Zhou Quan in the Battle of Liaohe, and suppressed Zhou Quan to death in Japan, where did they have the courage to dare to despise the Great Song Dynasty so much, unless...... Do they know that Zhou Quan is now suspicious of the Great Song Dynasty?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Liangsi's back was covered with cold sweat. (To be continued.) )
