After saying goodbye to Yu Liyan, until Yanjing, it was all smooth.

And everyone returned to their hearts like arrows, it originally took more than ten days to travel, but it only took nine days to arrive.

Yanjing Yongping Hall was even more depressed than when he came back, because he was in a hurry before, and Zheng Yunzhong, who was born as a civil official, was slightly unwell, so he was ready to rest here for one more day.

Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, Zhou Quan woke up.

Waking up early is a good habit he has always maintained, and after getting up, he moved his muscles and scolded.

It's too cold, although there is a fire kang at this time, it is very simple, at least Zhou Quan hasn't slept until now. Therefore, if there is no fire at night, it will get colder and colder in the second half of the night.

Outside the door, Di Jiang and Wu Yang, who were sleeping in his front room, had also woken up, and the three of them went out of the house to move their bodies a little, and at this moment, Zhou Quan saw a figure cautiously flashing against the corner of the wall.

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, only the three of them got up the earliest in the Song envoy team, and at this time, they were all sleeping, and no one would get up.

However, in the glimmer of the morning light, he found that the man was wearing the costume of an official in the south of the Liao State, and he seemed to be an official of the Liao State.

Zhou Quan felt that the figure was vaguely familiar, but he was not good at remembering people's faces, and for a while, he couldn't remember who this person was.

This person also saw Zhou Quan, smiled and arched his hand, and then left in a hurry.

"Isn't this that Ma Dalang, why is he here?" Zhou Quan can't remember, but some people remember that Di Jiang was born as a scout, and his memory was originally what he was good at.

"Which Ma Dalang?" Zhou Quan was still a little dazed.

"When we came north, just after crossing the Jiehe River, Da Lang also asked him on the side of the road, and he called himself Ma Da Lang at that time."

Zhou Quan suddenly realized, but then doubts arose.

At that time, this Ma Dalang was dressed as a common person, and at most he looked like a rich man in the people. But now, he not only wore a Liao official uniform, but also appeared in the pavilion that received the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty...... What is this person's identity?

"From Captain Tong." Di Jiang said again.

Zhou Quan glanced at Tong Guan, since entering the pavilion, Tong Guan said that he was a little unwell, and he had been shrinking into the house and did not come out.

He had doubts in his heart, not because he was afraid that Tong Guan would collude with Liao, but because he was worried that this dead eunuch would cause some trouble.

"I've been staring at Mrs. Tong for the past two days, and if there's anything, tell me quickly." Zhou Quan said in a low voice.

Di Jiang will understand.

After resting in Yanjing for two days, Zheng Yunzhong's body recovered, and he began to return to the south again. There were more than 100 and nearly 200 people in the entire Song envoy team, and when they left the pavilion, Di Jiang suddenly came to Zhou Quan's side and said, "That Ma Dalang is also in the envoy team!" ”

Zhou Quan looked back in amazement, and saw that among the relatives beside Tong Guan, there was a person who bowed his head slightly, and it was vaguely that Ma Dalang.

It's just that Ma Dalang originally had a Khitan-style beard, but now his beard has been shaved, and he looks a little like a eunuch.

Zhou Quan's brows tightened, Tong Guan took this person by his side, and he had to take a great risk!

It is even possible to bury all the harvest of their northern envoys this time!

It's just that he is surrounded by officials and soldiers "escorted" by the Liao State, and Zhou Quan is not good at going over to ask, so he can only be secretly worried in his heart.

The team didn't move forward for long, and was suddenly stopped by the Liao, Zhou Quan saw that Ma Dalang looked calm, but Tong Guan was slightly nervous.

I saw several Liao Shu, accompanied by several southern officials, and began to count the number of people.

This is a common practice, and in order to prevent the defenders from carrying the fugitives, they will be counted every time they enter. Zhou Quan only felt that he was in his heart, but the strange thing was that the Liao people counted twice, but the number of people they got was exactly the same as when they went out.

Zhou Quan was a little inexplicable, he didn't know what means Tong Guan used, and after getting this result, he looked at Tong Guan again, and his nervous expression was gone, and there was only a trace of excitement left.

The envoy team passed this level, and the next step was to march all the way. However, in two days, they returned to Baigou Station, and this is officially back in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

When the border of the Liao Kingdom disappeared behind him, Zhou Quan immediately came to Tong Guan: "Taiwei Tong, you have done a great thing!" ”

He endured it for two days, and now he has a chance, where can he still control it.

Hearing him say this, Tong Guan didn't panic, but laughed, and said quite self-consciously: "I know that I can't hide it from Zhou Lang, but well, seeing Zhou Lang, you have made meritorious contributions to the front, how can the old man be willing to lag behind!" ”

Zhou Quan's heart sank: "Captain Tong, what do you want to do......

"Naturally, it is to recover Yanyun and become the king because of his merits!" Tong Guan said proudly, the light in his eyes flashed, almost uncontrollable.

As a eunuch, because of physiological problems, his mentality is inevitably distorted, even if he can grow dozens of beards, Tong Guan is no exception.

Good money and good power are already available to him, and he can't be lustful, so what is left is a good name. If Yanyun is recovered, according to the testament of Taizu Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty, he can be crowned king with this merit!

"That person will help the Taiwei recover Yanyun?"

"He used to be a member of Guanglu Temple in Liao, he had a lot of dealings with the Jurchens, entrusted the blessing of the official family, and got the help of Zhou Lang. As long as you join forces with the Jurchens, it will not be difficult to destroy the Liao State! ”

Zhou Quan was dumbfounded, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

It turned out that the general change that destroyed Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty actually started from this mission!

He didn't know the details of the history, otherwise he would have guessed a long time ago that this Ma Dalang was Ma Zhi, the proposer of the Song-Jin Sea Alliance.

"Captain Tong, this matter must not be careless!" Zhou Quan said urgently.

At this time, Song Liao turned his back, and his plan to win the city would come to naught, and he cheapened the Jurchens in vain. Compared with the Liao people, Zhou Quan felt that those Jurchens would be more harmful to Chinese civilization.

In fact, the two key setbacks of Chinese civilization are directly related to the Jurchens, it can be said that the two successive Jurchen invasions have caused a heavy setback to the Chinese civilization, and it is also an important reason why China lost a great opportunity to stop sinking!

Zhou Quan didn't think so far, but he instinctively hated the Jurchens, but he had a somewhat good impression of the Liao State, because Yu Liyan and Zeng fought side by side.

"Don't worry, I will naturally be cautious, Zhou Quan, I want to advise you, don't be heroic and short of breath, if I can recover Yanyun and make the lord of Liao offer the princess and relatives, it is not impossible, you have to distinguish the importance of the matter, and the state and family affairs are ......."

He chattered in his mouth, Zhou Quan was depressed when he heard it, and wanted to persuade him again, but he also knew that if he continued to talk about it, Tong Guan would think that he was deliberately obstructing his Northern Expedition plan.

Tong Guan wants to rely on this plan to become the king, and whoever blocks this plan will be his mortal enemy!

And Zhao Ji also hopes to complete the unfinished business of Taizu Taizong by recovering the land of Yanyun, and add a brilliant stroke to his cultural and martial arts.

"Taiwei, Liao is naturally going to be conquered, and the land of Yanyun is naturally going to be restored, but you also have to be careful of the Jurchens, this time I have personally fought with the Jurchens, and their barbarism and bravery are even better than the Khitan, beware of driving jackals in front and advancing tigers in the rear!"

Tong Guan disagreed, in his opinion, it was just a small tribe on the border, even if the Jurchen tribes were unified, he didn't know if there were millions of people, where could they be compared with the Great Song Dynasty!

The conversation between the two broke up unhappily, and Zhou Quan returned to his room, only with a long sigh.

Wu Yang and Di Jiang saw that his expression was wrong, and followed in at this time: "Da Lang, what's the trouble, could it be that the dead eunuch is there, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said: "He wants to join forces with the Jurchens to attack Liao, that Ma Dalang is the key person he brought back from Liao, and he wants to rely on Ma Dalang to contact the Jurchens......"

Speaking of which, he found that both Wu Yang and Di Jiang had happy expressions on their faces.

"That's a good thing!"

"Exactly, after many years of national shame, it is naturally a good thing to be able to wash it away!"

"What is Da Lang worried about, if I can really recover Yanyun, I will no longer scold that Tong Guan for dying eunuch!"

Zhou Quan looked at the two of them, said one sentence to me, said happily, and said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of driving the wolf before and then entering the tiger, you have all seen it, the Jurchen people are brave, and they are even better than the Khitans!" ”

Wu Yang thought for a while, but Di Jiang shook his head and smiled: "What are you afraid of, if we have to recover Yanjing, take the Great Wall as the boundary, and choose the danger to defend it, no matter how powerful the Jurchens are, what can they do to us?" ”

"Besides, Liao is also a big country, even if I fight it with the Jurchens, it will not perish so easily, and when the time comes, within the Great Wall, we will recover Yanyun, and then retreat and guard, watching the two tigers in the north of the Great Wall fight. Both sides are exhausted, and we are just in time to reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”

Di Jiang's words made Wu Yang nod again and again, and through the expressions of these two, Zhou Quan completely understood in his heart that he couldn't stop the Song and Jurchen Alliance.

Even Di Jiang and Wu Yang, who had personally fought against the Jurchens, felt that the Jurchens would not become a threat to the Great Song Dynasty, let alone others!

Zhou Quan pondered for a long time, and let out another long sigh.

However, after the sigh ended, a strange brilliance began to flash in his eyes, and Wu Yang and Di Jiang both felt extremely weird, and they didn't know what he was thinking.

Since it is impossible to change this state of affairs, try to make it move in a good direction.

At least prepare for the worst!

He already had a plan in mind, and this plan became more and more formed. The only thing that made him hesitate was that if this plan was really implemented, it was likely to bleed thousands of miles!

According to Zhou Quan's original idea, he only needs to eat, drink and have fun in the rear, and by the way, he will engage in inventions to promote the progress of the Great Song Dynasty.

But the current situation has drawn him into the tide of history, if he does not move, history may develop according to a fixed line, all prosperity will be wiped out, and bloody massacres will occur everywhere on this land.

But if he moves, then he will have bloody hands, and he will have to harden his heart as hard as iron, and he will have to give up many, many things, and he will become very tired......

Do you want to do it?
