Yelu Zongyuan is now looking worried, with the fall of Nanjing, the confidence of the Liao people in the war was beaten to the freezing point in an instant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The situation took a turn for the worse, not only did the civilians flee north, but the minds of the ministers also began to become active, and the detailed activities of the Song Dynasty became more and more frequent, and some people even regarded those Song Dynasty people who had been suspected of being unknown as their guests.

What the Han people said is very right, if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different.

The ministers of the Khitan tribe are better, but they are arguing about what to do to save the situation, and the other ethnic groups are not. Just now, someone came to tell Yelu Zongyuan that Zhang Li met with an envoy of the Song Dynasty today, and the two sides discussed for two hours before the Song Dynasty left.

Zhang Li, the old minister! Even if he has taken this step, is there really no hope for Liaoguo? Yelu Zongyuan's hands were behind his back, and his steps were already a little sluggish as he walked. His body is still very good, but his heart is still really a little haggard.

"Father, the child led the troops to Zhang Li'er, tied him up to see his father, if it was true, he had any bad intentions, and he would kill him to make an example."

In his opinion, since these people are on this big ship in Liao, if this ship is going to sink, they should go down together. Zhang Li is not an ordinary minister of Liao, he is the teacher of Liao Xingzong, and he is also the teacher of Yelu Hongji, many decisions of the Liao State are from his handwriting, and moving him will inevitably cause a violent [***], but in Yelu Neghulu's view, it is precisely because of Zhang Li's special status that the turmoil caused by letting him leave is greater, so if you want to move, move him first.

Yelu Zongyuan is relatively more stable because of his age, and he also knows that moving Zhang Li can play a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, but if there is no conclusive evidence, it may have the opposite effect under the current situation.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided that it was better to not move now, although the internal situation was unstable, there was still a chance to save the situation. As long as his reinforcements can go faster, Yelu Hongji can rescue them, and kill the attack of the Song Dynasty, things are not so bad that they are.

The army of the Liao people had begun to assemble, but the news from the front line made Yelu Zongyuan very clear that if he could not deal with the powerful weapons in the hands of the Song people, it would be impossible to disrupt the footsteps of the Song Dynasty army and bring the war back to the balance point.

"Lao Jiu, is there any news about Kunzaburo Fujiwara?"

Fujiwara Kunzaburo's plan was of great help to Liao. If he could really get the equipment of the Song army, Yelu Zongyuan could even use Yelu Hongji to delay a little more time on the front line.

Yelune shook his head and said: "The ten best warships of our sailors have gone to sea, but there is no news yet, father, sons think that we can't pin all our hopes on the words of that Fujiwara Kunzaburo, if he really has the ability, how can he be beaten into a lost dog by Chen Shimei?" ”

Yelu Zongyuan sighed: "I know, but we can't give up any possible hope. Lao Jiu, this time to rescue Yelu Hongji, you must go all out, fighting for the throne is fighting for the throne, but you must distinguish clearly on the issue of right and wrong. ”

Yelune's expression was a little impatient: "Father, don't worry, is the son the kind of person who doesn't know the severity?" ”

Yelu Zongyuan glanced at him and nodded: "I am too concerned for my father, but the situation in our Liao Kingdom is too sinister now, it doesn't matter how fierce the enemy outside is, if we don't use our fists in one place, it will really be over." ”

Yelu Zongyuan understands this truth very well, but Xiao Tatari is here now, but he doesn't think so.

Yelu Hongji is all of Xiao Tatar, Xiao Tatar has done many things for him, and finally made him the emperor, and temporarily sat in that position, but was surrounded by the Song people in a blink of an eye. Her mood can be imagined. She was unwilling to lose this son, and she was unwilling to let her son lose the throne she had worked so hard to get.

Zhang Li, she sent the Song people to contact.

As a veteran minister who has served the Liao people for decades and assisted the three generations of kings of the Liao State, Zhang Li regarded himself as a Liao man at all. He was loyal only to the imperial power of the Liao State, and at the same time, to Xiao Tatar.

When Xiao Tali asked him to negotiate with the Song people to see if he could end the conflict in a peaceful way and keep Yelu Hongji's position, he went to find the eyes and ears of the Song Dynasty in the Liao people.

"Lord Zhang, what do the people of the Song Dynasty say?"

Xiao Tatari is always so elegant in front of Zhang Li, maintaining the appearance of a high-ranking goddess. For a man like Zhang Li, Xiao Tatari knows that by keeping himself in his dream forever, he will be loyal to him for the rest of his life.

"Queen Mother, the Song people said that it is not impossible to negotiate peace now, but we must move the capital to Shangjing, and cede Yanyun and Liaodong to the Song people, and they will talk to us about the next conditions."

Xiao Tali took a deep breath, ceded Liaodong and Yanyun regions, and returned to Shangjing, which was equivalent to beating the Khitans back a hundred years ago and letting them live that nomadic life again. Whoever agrees to this condition is a Khitan sinner.

Xiao Tali was still a little hesitant, if it was placed a few days ago, she would definitely discuss such a major event with Yelu Zongyuan, and she also knew that if she fell out with Yelu Zongyuan at this time, it would not be beneficial to everyone.

But just a few days ago, one of her eyes and ears discovered something that made Xiao Tatari feel frightened.

There was actually an envoy of the Song Dynasty in the camp of Yelu Rum, who was the son of Fan Zhongyan, the captain of the Great Song Dynasty! Moreover, the Song people were equipped with the holy decree of the emperor of the Song Dynasty. This news was enough to make Xiao Tatari, a suspicious woman, think about it at this time.

Why was it Jeluhonki who was surrounded and not Jerunegru? What did Yelu Gollum want to do by keeping the Song Dynasty people by his side?

She couldn't help but think about the worst-case scenario. Now she doesn't believe in anyone, only by doing everything possible to save Yelu Hongji and let Yelu Hongji continue to sit on that throne, their mother and son will have a tomorrow!

Xiao Tali's eyes blinked, and he looked at Zhang Li, who was obediently in front of him, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Lord Zhang, do you think we can accept such conditions?" ”

Zhang Li shook his head: "Queen Mother, this condition is too harsh, if we agree, the Song Dynasty will definitely not give us a chance to turn over again." Lao Chen thought that such an alliance under the city, even when there was really no hope, the conditions of the Song people were just that. ”

Xiao Tatar sighed: "Half of our southwest country has been occupied by the Song people, and now the emperor is also besieged by the Song people, is there really any hope for continuing to fight?" ”

Zhang Li no longer speaks, is there any hope? No one can say for sure, from a father's point of view, he understands and even sympathizes with the current Xiao Tali. But as an important minister of the Liao State, he knew that he must not give up lightly until the last step.

Seeing that Zhang Li didn't speak, Xiao Tali sighed softly: "Master Zhang, do you understand our current situation?" ”

"The old minister knows, please rest assured that the old minister's surname will inevitably accompany the foundation of the Liao State."

Xiao Tali suddenly stood up slowly and walked towards Zhang Li. Zhang Li felt a little stunned for a while, the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer, until a pungent fragrance penetrated Zhang Li's head, and his whole person had a fluttering feeling.

They had never been so close, and Zhang Li felt his heart beat faster. I was a little scared and wanted to go back, but I felt that it was inappropriate, and I felt that it was inappropriate to stay. This capable minister, who is comfortable in handling national affairs in the court, was at a loss at this moment.

Xiao Tali leaned his head against Zhang Li's ear, and his body occasionally made contact with Zhang Li, making Zhang Li feel his heart ape.

"I'm not talking about the situation in Liao, I'm the current situation of our mother and son, Lord Zhang, do you know, if the emperor can't come back, I will die."

Zhang Li's tone was already a little trembling, the goddess who had dreamed for many years was in front of him, so real, but it seemed to be a dream: "The queen mother is too careful, and the king of the southern courtyard is here, even if we lose this battle, no one can hurt the queen mother." ”

"What I'm afraid of is Yelu Hongji, Master Zhang, you may not know that Fan Zhongyan's son was in the military camp of Yelu Gollu a few days ago."

Zhang Li's body was shocked: "Queen Mother, this matter is no joke!" ”

The breath in Xiao Tatar's mouth hit Zhang Li's neck, as if she was in a hurry, she suddenly grabbed Zhang Li's palm: "Lord Zhang, Fan Chunyou has not been away for a few days, I have already sent someone to chase after me, this matter is definitely not wrong." Adults have been in the court for many years, so they should know how powerful it is. What is the purpose of Yelune Gollum and Fan Chunyou's contact? My lord, while they are drawing strong men, they are watching the emperor surrounded by the Song people, if the emperor has an accident, Yelu Nie Gollu will inevitably succeed to the throne, at that time their father and son will definitely not tolerate me! ”

Xiao Tali suddenly became like a weak woman in urgent need of protection at this time, Zhang Li only felt that the hand pushed the sense of self-esteem of the powerful man in his heart, looking at Xiao Tatari's flower-like face, his hand couldn't help but clench a little: "Don't worry, if this is the case, the old minister will definitely not let Yelu Zongyuan succeed." ”

His hand had just added a little strength, but Xiao Tali seemed to have come back to his senses by this strength, so he leisurely withdrew his hand and stepped back, his face flushed, as if he had done something wrong.

This made Zhang Li feel extremely embarrassed for a while, and coughed lightly, but he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Tali also seemed to be a little embarrassed: "Lord Zhang should talk to the people of the Song Dynasty first, if these are all they want, the emperor's safety should be the first priority." ”

Zhang Li was in a hurry to leave here now, and after listening to her, he didn't think at all: "Yes, the old minister obeys the order." ”

Walking out of this room, Zhang Li suddenly felt a little lost, but also a little relieved, and his mood was very complicated. But one thing is for sure, Xiao Tatari This woman has lost her husband, and her children are also surrounded by the Song people, if someone really wants to hit her attention, Zhang Li is very willing to stand by her side to protect her.

There's nothing wrong with talking to the Song people first, so let's send someone to it.
