274, is the most ruthless
"Official, how, I just said, the Liao envoy will be shocked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Qing really said it, hahahaha......"
The person who surprised Yelu Dashi laughed at the same time as Zhao Ji, and Yelu Dashi's expression changed back and forth, and finally turned into a wry smile.
Zhou Quan!
Originally, Yelu Dashi thought that Zhou Quan should still be in Liaodong, but he never thought that this guy would return to the Great Song Dynasty, and not in Haizhou, and directly returned to Beijing!
This made him prepare a belly of discordant words, which suddenly became empty.
"I heard that my family Zhou Qing defeated the Jurchen for your country, and the ambassador came to our country, but thank you?" Zhao Ji looked at Yelu Dashi's expression, felt very interesting, and asked with a smile.
"Yes......"
"Zhou Qing said that I want to exchange your country's Tokyo Road for the land of Youyan, I don't know what my imperial brother thinks?"
Liao and Song are brothers, Liao is a brother, and Song is a brother, so Zhao Ji called Yelu Yanxi "my imperial brother", but there was not much respect in his words, on the contrary, he ridiculed and ridiculed, overflowing with faces.
In Zhao Ji's view, Yelu Yanxi was really absurd, mediocre, and incompetent, and according to the envoy who came back, he was also "the appearance of no one to look forward to".
Otherwise, how could even a barbarian tribe like the Jurchens step on the head of the Liao State to and urinate, and beat Yelu Yanxi's 200,000 army to ashes.
If it weren't for the fact that the Song State was now working hard to manage the west and completely destroy the poisonous insect of Western Xia, Zhao Ji would be a little impatient to tear up the peace treaty with the Liao State and recover Yanyun's hometown.
His words made Yelu's stone heart sink again.
Raising his head and glancing at Zhao Ji, Yelu Dashi didn't care about calculating Zhou Quan, so he had to deal with the crisis in front of him first.
"The foreign minister heard that Song was a state of benevolence and righteousness......"
"Don't talk about this nonsense, I'm here, it's useless for you to say this." Zhou Quan directly interrupted his words: "If the Liao Jun is a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan is the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the official family will naturally tell you benevolence and righteousness!" Zhou Quan said.
"Well, if that's the case, then I'm not going to say any hypocrisy." Yelu Dashi was forced by him, and his beard moved, and he suddenly glared and said: "My Liao State is newly defeated by the Jurchens, but so what, the Liao State still has a million armor, and the Li people are billion!" China's territory is still connected to the Bohai Sea in the east, Yanyun in the south, the desert in the west, and Heishui in the north. There are still thousands of tribes and millions of war horses! For our country, the Jurchen is still suffering from ringworm and scabies! If your country thinks that our country has just lost something, it can take advantage of the void, then you are very wrong! ”
When he said this, Zhao Ji was a little annoyed, Liao Guodu was in this situation, and he still wanted to threaten him?
He was about to speak, but someone next to him coughed lightly.
This light cough was just right, not only blocking Zhao Ji's words, but also blocking Zhou Quan's rebuttal to his mouth.
Yelu Dashi looked at the person who coughed lightly, but it was an old man, who looked good-looking, and when his eyebrows opened and closed, there was a faint glint of essence.
Cai Jing!
Yelu Dashi didn't know the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, although this person had a bad reputation among the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but for the Liao State, he was a very troublesome opponent.
"Your envoy is young, Zhou Lang is vigorous, what are you two fighting for, if you really want to turn against each other, you have your own generals and warriors to fight, why do you two do this unfortunate thing?" Cai Jing seemed to persuade peace, but as soon as his words changed, he said with a smile: "However, half of your country's Tokyo Dao is in the hands of Zhou Zhizhi after all. ”
"This ......" Yelu Dashi's expression changed slightly, and then said: "Because the two countries are good, so I will not take it for myself, if your country refuses to return it, my emperor will raise a large army and go to take it for himself." Liaodong is separated from overseas, and your country is beyond the reach of the whip, so why bother to harm the friendship between the two countries for this useless place? ”
Speaking of which, he got to the point.
For the Great Song Dynasty, it was difficult to control Liaodong now, and it was impossible to maintain its rule over Liaodong under the watchful eye of strong enemies by relying only on sea routes.
It is not better than Jeju Island, nor is it better than Liuqiu, there is no strong enemy on the side, Liaodong to the west is the Liao country, and to the north is the true country of the Jurchens, and both sides will not let go of this piece of fat.
Unless Zhou Quan uses all the forces of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce to keep the transportation line open at all times. But the cost of doing so is too high, the benefits are too small, and it is not beneficial to the Donghai Chamber of Commerce.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Quan would rather move the people of Liaodong than think about occupying the land he has taken.
"We also have a choice, exchange Liaodong and the Jurchens for Youyan." Zhou Quan said with a grin.
Yelu Dashi gritted his teeth with hatred: "Zhou Zhizhi killed the eldest son of the Jurchen chieftain, and he already has a deep blood feud, besides, my princess of the Great Liao Shu Kingdom is devoted to the system, and the system really can't bear to do this kind of painful and hateful thing, which will damage the friendship between our two countries for many years?" ”
Zhou Quan said without hesitation: "Between countries, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, how to do it that is beneficial to my Great Song Dynasty and my Huaxia, which side will I naturally choose, will I abolish my official affairs because of personal feelings?" ”
Zhou Quan's words were righteous and strict, Zhao Ji applauded again and again, and Yelu Dashi was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
When he came this time, he originally wanted to grasp the private relationship between Zhou Quan and Yu Liyan to make a fuss, strive to drive a wedge between the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom, and undermine Zhao Ji's trust in Zhou Quan. But Zhou Quan's big words came out, no matter whether Zhao Ji believed it or not, at least on the surface, the relationship between their monarch and minister would only improve because of this!
Immediately afterwards, Cai Jing gave Yelu Dashi a heavy blow in the shadows: "Princess of the Great Liao Shu Kingdom...... Liao has a princess, but my emperor Song doesn't have a princess? The good envoy knows that the official family also intends to allow the marriage week to be systematized, just waiting for the opportunity. ”
Yelu Dashi didn't know about this matter at all, and even Zhou Quan didn't know about it.
So when Cai Jing said this, Zhou Quan also obviously showed surprise, but this expression flashed and was well concealed by him.
The concubine of the Great Song Dynasty, as a relative, is not a promising thing in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is far better to marry the prime minister's daughter.
Zhou Quan was not very interested in this, and Zhao Ji had never said anything about it before, and there was no discussion in the political hall. Zhou Quan's mind turned, and he knew that this was Cai Jing putting pressure on Yelu Dashi, counteracting Yelu Dashi's move to use the princess of Shu to put pressure on him.
However, Cai Jing, the old fox, may not say this completely just to deal with Yelu Dashi, and he doesn't really have such a mind.
Perhaps, he has sensed Zhou Quan's threat to Da Song, but he can't ignore the benefits that Zhou Quan can give Da Song, so he wants to throw out a princess and eliminate Zhou Quan's ambitions.
Therefore, Zhou Quan snorted coldly in his heart.
It was Zhao Ji, who showed a look of great interest on his face.
The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is good to Wenchen, but he has always been very suspicious of military generals. Like Zhou Quan, if he just makes money, Zhao Ji will only trust him, but in addition to making money, he is also very good at fighting, so Zhao Ji has to think about it.
"Your Majesty, since the Zhou system wants to speak for profit, then the foreign minister will talk about profit. Since the alliance between the two countries, both countries have benefited greatly, and His Majesty's handing over the Tokyo Road to the Jurchens can only make the contemptible country hate the Great Song Dynasty, and the benefits of the city will no longer be shared by the two countries. Jurchen, the barbarian wild species, neither civilized, but even have the matter of eating raw and skinning, your country is good with it, just like seeking skin with the tiger, if I am defeated, your country is second. Is it the work of a wise man to sacrifice great profit for small gain? In the eyes of foreign ministers, you and I should reunite the old good, in order to show the sincerity of our country, the son of heaven, I am willing to marry the princess of Shu to your country...... For concubines! ”
When Yelu Dashi said this, his teeth chattered, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation came to him.
Da Liao only chose the daughter of a clan, and it was enough to be the queen of Western Xia, but the dignified princess of Shu, the daughter of the current Da Liao Tianzi, only gave a courtier of the Song State as a concubine?
Yelu Dashi is almost certain that when he returns to China, he will face impeachment.
But to let the Song State return the Tokyo Dao, this is the necessary price, and only by recovering the Tokyo Dao can the Liao State recuperate, lie down and taste the courage, in order to regain its strength!
I've taken this charge on my back!
He thought sadly and indignantly in his heart, but saw Zhou Quan shaking his head: "Yu Liyan is with me now, and we shouldn't use her and my affairs as bargaining chips...... In this way, let me say it bluntly, if Da Liao wants to return to Tokyo, he must exchange the land! ”
Yelu Dashi glared at Zhou Quan, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, the most ruthless, the princess of Shu treats you like this!" ”
Zhou Quan's face sank, he hated the other party's repeated mention of the princess of Shu.
The Liao people wanted to separate the relationship between him and Zhao Ji, which he expected, otherwise he would not have been non-stop, and immediately rushed over from Liaodong and handed over the matter of organizing the migration of Han people to Ye Chu and others.
"That being the case......" Jerodishi took a deep breath.
Before coming here, one of the cards he was authorized to play was now.
"The country has mobilized in Xijing Province, so that all those who have six miscellaneous animals in the family have joined the army, recruited 50,000 soldiers, and entered the Weifu Army of Montenegro...... The country is willing to exchange the land of the Hetao for Liaodong! ”
Most of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom in the hall were stunned.
At least Zhou Quan doesn't know where the Black Mountain Weifu Army is, and there is no such place in the administrative establishment of the Great Song Dynasty. But after thinking about it again, he suddenly understood that this was the territory of Western Xia!
The Liao State deserves to be the Liao State, and Yelu Dashi deserves to be the Yelu Dashi, he actually thought of this idea!
In the current situation, if the Liao State wants to protect the Western Xia, it has to have a frontal war with the Great Song Dynasty, and in the face of the pressure of the Jurchens, the Liao State cannot fight such a national battle.
In this case, Western Xia will perish, rather than letting all the benefits fall into the Great Song Dynasty, why not go to the Liao State to grab a piece of land first, and then use this land to exchange it from the Song State back to the Liaodong Peninsula?
Just now, Yelu Dashi is still saying that Zhou Quan is "the most ruthless", in fact, Liao is far better than Zhou Quan in ruthlessness!
Even Zhou Quan never thought that the Liao Congress would make such a choice!
"Not enough! I must also add Heqing, Jinsu Second Army and Yongbyon Prefecture, the entire land west of Hexi must belong to me, and in addition, Shuozhou also needs to belong to me! ”
In the main hall, there was only one person who could follow Yelu Dashi's train of thought, or rather, long before Yelu Dashi put forward the conditions, he thought of the price that the Liao State might pay! (To be continued.) )
