Chapter XXVII

"Brother Yang, such a different world, you and I rarely get together, a certain view of your talk is extraordinary, it will not be a thing in the pool in the future, today's gathering, but it is to throw all the unhappiness in a certain heart behind, if you meet in the future, the so-called Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing is only a defeated general under Da Liao, if the virtuous brother can be used by my Da Liao, the future will be a marquis to pay homage, it is not empty talk, maybe I will be a virtuous brother in Da Liao, and there will be a little chance to change the day." Yelu Dashi's words were already serious, and it was not easy to show his identity at the moment, so he said, "If the virtuous brother is willing, a certain person can think of Dashi Linya, even if it is for me to command the envoy, it is better to be a capital head, and make meritorious contributions in the future, a certain Da Liao will not treat you badly." ”

"Brother Haidong laughed, although Yang is humble, but after all, he is a Song Chen, and he does not dare to forget the worries of the country, Youyun is a place where the official family must get, maybe in the coming day, you and my brother will meet each other in battle, if my Great Song suddenly encounters an unfavorable situation, please give a certain one a pleasure." Yang Ling stood up and looked at the vast north, just firmly.

"Okay, good, good, horse leather shroud, death is deserved, the big husband is right, virtuous brother, the more you are like this, the more reluctant a certain family is to get you, if Song Ting is mean to you in the other day, although I come to find me, I will never say big words, but we Dashi Linya is the most like you such heroes, Da Liao is ready to wait for you at any time." Yelu Dashi patted Yang Ling's shoulder and said appreciatively.

So far, the sky is still white, and unconsciously, a night has passed, Yelu Dashi and Yang Ling have each returned to their tents with full hearts, but Ma Xiaoying has just gotten up with sleepy eyes, and when she saw Yang Ling suddenly returning, her youngest daughter's posture was silent.

Yang Ling didn't have time to wash, but a number of Shengjie army sergeants came, saying that they wanted to bring the Liao envoys into Xiongzhou City to settle down, and it was also the Song State that treated the envoys lightly, not to mention the mutual status of the Liao State and the Jin State, and the visitors were guests, but now, the Jurchens and the Khitans are living in their respective tents under Yang Keshi's command, and within the army, even if all kinds of conditions are already well-raised, food, clothing, housing and transportation are not half a disadvantage, but after all, for the envoys, even so, it is already a little slow.

It is necessary to know that the envoys of a country, on behalf of the national system, instead of the Son of Heaven to leave the country, the general envoys are 3 official positions, do not interfere in the government, but have the absolute right to speak for changes within the royal family, such as the change of the prince, the change of etiquette, if it is the peak of the Han regime, the general court envoys went to the subject country, the local king will pay tribute to him on many occasions with brotherly or equal etiquette, and even young kings or princes because of their admiration for the Central Plains culture, it is not uncommon for them to worship the envoys as Mr. Shishu.

If the envoy leaves for various reasons, the king will also see him off ceremoniously, and if you are likely to come back in the future, he will also treat him with the courtesy of a distinguished guest, and this kind of courtesy to an official who is not of high rank or even exiled here is very illustrative, and the subject country is very respectful and even awe-inspiring to the people of the Celestial Empire.

But this is just a high-status country to treat a vassal state, but even if this is not the case, the Liao State and the Song State have been friends for a hundred years, and they are brotherly countries, even if they are now weak because of the Northern Expedition, they are also equal diplomacy, and the Jin State, which is not established by the Jurchens, has signed a maritime alliance with the Song State, and the treatment of the countries of the alliance is also superior.

It can be said that the envoys of any country come here to treat themselves as guests, but now, the envoys of the two countries are only living in simple military camps, and it can be said that the envoys of the two countries did not break out during the period, and it is the greatest miracle that they left.

At the beginning of Tong Guan's Northern Expedition, he originally wanted to plow and sweep the caves of the already tattered old enemy Liao, but at this time he already knew that the strength of the Song army was not so reliable, but as Yuan Rong and one of the planners of the Northern Expedition Pingyan, it was impossible to retreat, so Tong Guan's momentum was still very strong.

Tong Guan first wanted to surrender the country without a fight, and sent someone to take Huizong's edict to ask the Emperor of Heaven to attach the country to the Song Dynasty, ensuring that he would not lose the title of the king for generations, but was refused, and Tong Guan's policy of surrendering and rebelling annoyed the Emperor of Tianci, so Liao and Song launched a decisive battle.

At that time, Tong Guan had arranged for two armies to flank the Liao army, and the Liao State sent Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan to meet them. Although Tong Guan is as strong as an ox, the army is vulnerable.

The Liao army defeated Liu Yanqing's Huanqing army twice, and defeated Xin Xingzong's other army at present-day Zhuo County, Hebei. So far, the Song army has been defeated on all fronts. Seeing that the situation was like this, the old breed of the old breed had to return to Xiongzhou, but the news was known to the Liao army, and the Liao army sent light cavalry to pursue, and under the city of Xiongzhou, the Song army was defeated and fled.

Fortunately, the Liao State did not dare to expand the situation because it was afraid that the Jin State to the north would come, and no longer pursued after Xiongzhou, and the Song army was saved from the fate of the entire army. This news frightened Song Huizong, who "heard that the army was defeated and was very afraid, so he ordered the class teacher".

In fact, at this time, Huizong's so-called edict of the class teacher was already an afterthought, and it was defeated to such a point, and he used his old man to order, but Tong Guandui was too angry, and when he heard that Yelu Dashi pressed the army in Xiongzhou, he didn't even have a trace of resistance, and gave up Xiongzhou without a fart, and retreated directly to Zhending Mansion.

But Yang Keshi is a general, and he knows that he will not be able to collapse for thousands of miles at this time, so he packed up the Baiqi soldiers and camped in Xiongzhou, and relied on the strong city to make Yelu Dashi return in vain.

It is precisely because Tong Guan is far away from the Zhending Mansion that Tong Guan is a little out of control of the current situation, and even the envoys of the two countries came here, and they didn't have time to react, so they were a little slower.

Tong Guan did not go to a certain point, as soon as he entered Xiongzhou, he sent the Shengjie army to pick up the envoys of the two countries into the city, the Jurchen envoys were better, but the Liao envoys gave him a headache, after all, he was defeated by the Liao army, and his momentum was inevitably a little lower, but Tong Guan thought about it, "I am the commander of a country, in charge of Hedong, Hebei and Hebei Xuanfu, and now I have made a good gesture, isn't it enough?" How much appetite can the Liao have? They should be content. Well, they should be content, I still have 100,000 elite soldiers on me. Even if the Baigou River is a small setback, the Liao envoy can't help but be afraid, and now the Jurchen envoy has also arrived, let him know that my Great Song Dynasty has a close relationship with the Jurchen, and at that time, the Liao State is afraid of being attacked on both sides, and will be subservient and bend the knee, it will definitely be! In this way, Tong Guan sent his guards out to welcome the envoys of the two countries into the city.
