Chapter 59: The Turning Point
Ximenqing said that the meeting was adjourned, and the people who still didn't think they had enough noise had to disperse.
Yelu Yujian and Wanyan Zongyong, who were all devoted to the camp, quickly learned the outline of the meeting of this congress - note, it was only a summary and not a detailed content, and the hands of the Liao and Jin states could not be stretched out so long, long enough to plant spies within the Chinese Federation.
But knowing the outline, it's enough. For the Liao State, there are the Rapid Cutting faction and the Slow Logging faction, but no matter how slow it is, they are all going to be felled, and only Yuwen Xuzhong holds the theory that it will not be cut down - the situation is grim! Yelu Yu was in a heavy mood, but Wanyan Zongyong was just the opposite, and he was overjoyed.
It's no wonder that Yan Zong is happy, after all, he also knows a little bit about Ximen Qing, and knows that this person has a deep heart, he can only take advantage of it and not suffer losses, how can he let go of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures? As long as there is such a big bait, don't worry about people not obediently cooperating with their own big gold!
Moreover, this cooperative relationship is completely passive - regardless of whether Ximenqing agrees to form an alliance with the Jin State or not, as long as the Jin State makes a move in the north, Ximenqing will definitely take the opportunity to make a move against the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun; And as long as Ximen Qing makes a move, it is equivalent to the fact that he and the Jin State are mutually aided, and in the face of the Liao State's front, the pressure on the Jin State will inevitably be greatly reduced.
As soon as he thought of this, Wanyan Sect couldn't help but feel relaxed, after all, being able to take advantage of Ximenqing may be the only chance in this life and this life.
Compared with Wanyan Zong's use, Yelu Yu has the heart to dive. He went to visit Yuwen Xuzhong of the Cunliao faction, but they were closed, and there was not even a perfunctory word, and the meaning was obvious-although Lao Tzu spoke about Cunliao, he did not have any goodwill towards your Liao country--this implication made Yelu Yu look disgraced.
The signs that followed became more and more bad - Ximen Qing invited Yan Zong to the banquet, but did not invite Yelu Yu to see itβis there any signal in this?
Just when Yelu Yu saw the suspicious ghost restless, the next day, Ximenqing suddenly came to invite him to the banquet, but this time he didn't invite Yan Zongyong.
Yelu Yu breathed a sigh of relief - it turned out that Ximenqing was still balancing!
In the green bamboo pavilion, Ximen Qing and Yelu Yu Jian sat opposite each other, although there were exquisite dishes in front of them, Ye Lu Yu saw that he was full of thoughts, but he did not know the taste.
After a few idle words between the two sides, Ximen Qing got straight to the point: "Does the envoy know that my Chinese Federation Assembly is discussing it in detail?" β
Yelu Yu saw that his spirit was lifted, and he said in his heart, "Here comes the truth!" Busy Zhengrong replied: "I don't know." β
Ximen Qing said: "There are three proposals against Liao - one of which is a rush. In order to obtain the sixteen states of Yanyun, our Chinese Federation and the Jin State formed an alliance, and the north and the south were combined, the Jin State went out of Liaodong to fight in the west of Liaoning, and the troops of the Chinese Federation from Xiongzhou tended to attack Baigou, so that the Liao army could not care about each other. β
Yelu Yu's face did not move, but he said lightly: "Protecting the family and defending the country is the norm of human nature!" If so, my Da Liao boy should sacrifice his life and hunt under Youzhou City with the FΓΌhrer! β
Ximen Qing raised his wine and drank it: "I see the general's words, magnificent!" The second proposal is to slow logging. Not an alliance with the Jin State, nor an alliance with the Liao State, just sitting in the middle of the mountain to watch the tiger fight, when the Liao and Jin are both defeated, our Chinese Federation took advantage of the weakness to enter, and the roll went straight to Yanyun, and the hometown of the sixteen states was at your fingertips. β
Yelu Yu's face was solemn: "Da Liao man, I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile." The fire is ruthless, burning in the four fields, even if the head of state can succeed, I am afraid that Yanyun will no longer be prosperous in the past, just a useless dead city that has been burned to the ground. β
Ximenqing laughed: "Seeing the general's words, ruthless!" The third motion is not to cut down. Do not ally with the Jin State, but form an alliance with the Liao State, and use the flesh and blood of the Liao State to grind away the soldiers of the Jin State, so as to stop the ambition of Yan Agu. In the land of Yanyun, let's postpone the discussion for the time being, wait for the opportunity, and take it by betraying the alliance, it's not too late! β
When Yelu Yu heard this, he lowered his head and said nothing, and he was very strange in his heart-"This Ximen Qing actually cares about me so much? If things are abnormal, they must be demons, what evil intentions are hidden in this? β
But when I think about it, I can't figure it out. Yelu Yu was stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to speak.
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Why didn't you see the general's words? β
"No?" Listening to the words of the bull's head and the horse's mouth, Yelu couldn't cry or laugh, and a sense of absurdity arose. He didn't believe that Ximen Qing, whose name was moved all over the world, couldn't even speak, he could only say that he was in a happy mood, so he was happy to make fun of himself.
However, why is Ximenqing in such a happy mood? couldn't figure out this question, which made Yelu Yujian's mood even more depressed.
Yelu Yu said in his heart: "I can't follow this Ximenqing's train of thought, otherwise I will have to be surrounded by him, I have to find my own topic and hold the initiative in my own hands!" β
After thinking about it, Yelu Yu glanced at the wine glass, stared at Ximenqing and asked: "Your Excellency, a few days ago, the adults and the young generals discussed the situation between you and me, and there was a dilemma, and today the adults are smiling, and the dilemma has been solved?" If this is the case, it is gratifying to congratulate, can you teach the young general the way to break the game? β
Ximenqing raised his glass and said leisurely: "It's hard to see that the general still remembers!" Yes, there is indeed a way to explain the dilemma, just as there is a winding path in addition to today's three strikes, the use of wonderful, in one mind, but unfortunately, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky! β
Hearing Ximenqing say so hazy, Yelu Yu was at a loss, and his curiosity was also great, after all, this was related to the danger of his homeland, and he couldn't be reserved. After being stunned for a while, he finally gave up his hand and said: "Please give me advice!" β
Ximen Qing sighed, also put down the wine glass, looked at Yelu Yu Jian's eyes and said: "General Yu Jian, between countries, there is only the interests of intrigue, there is no extra warmth, is this right?" β
Yelu Yu was stunned for a moment, and nodded and sighed: "That's right!" β
Ximen Qing said: "Although this is exactly the case, I hate this feeling, and I would rather try to make some changes to improve this perception - do you think it is ridiculous when I say this?" β
Jerod was stunned again. Unpredictable and subtle tricks are always the specialty of the superiors, they can play this method with impunity, and you are in their game, no matter how boring it is, you have to play with them, and you don't even have the right to protest.
Yelu Yujian, who was deeply affected, didn't know how to deal with Ximenqing's seemingly sincere nonsense, so he had to shut up.
Ximen Qing smiled and looked deeply into Yelu Yu's eyes: "Let's open the skylight and say something!" - I am willing to form an alliance with Liao, I am willing to treat Liao as an equal ally rather than a shield for death, I am willing to help Liao get rid of the threat of the shadow of Jin - but Liao needs to pay the price! β
Yelu Yu still shut up, he knew what the price was, and Ximen Qing had already written it into his eyes and saw it at a glance.
Sure enough, "I want Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures!" β
Yelu Yu slowly raised his glass, and after taking a hard sip, he said in a hoarse voice: "Lord FΓΌhrer, what you want, Da Liao can't agree!" β
Ximen Qing smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse first, listen to me - there are many extreme wishes in the world, so they can't be fulfilled, but sometimes we can take a step back, and after compromise, it is very reasonable and perfect!" β
Yelu Yu shook his head: "With your tongue is a lotus, but Da Liao will never let go of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!" β
Ximenqing nodded: "I believe in the determination and courage of the Liao man, but it seems that you should also broaden your own horizons - have you ever heard of the term concession?" β
"Concession?" Jerod was stunned. How could you not have heard of it? After Ximen Qing leveled the Zhao and Song dynasties, he regarded the original Zhao and Song Dynasty's capital Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion as a "concession" and exchanged Hangzhou for the Ming Religion in the south of the Yangtze River. In case of change, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is too late to regret it!
But what does this concession have to do with Yanyun? Yelu Yu's mind, which was disturbed by Ximenqing, suddenly lit up with a groundbreaking light.
But he heard Ximen Qing say: "The Chinese Federation and the Liao State have formed an alliance, and the two sides will share the huge benefits brought by the alliance and jointly resist the enemy of aggression." In order to prove the sincerity of the alliance between the two sides, the Chinese Federation made the Daimyo Mansion the Liao State Concession, and the Liao State took the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as the Chinese Federal Republic Concession, so as to prove the long-standing friendship between the two countries. β
Jeru's heart throbbed. If Ximenqing really has the sincerity to form an alliance with the Liao State as he said, then it is also a good expedient measure to take the 16 states of Yanyun as a concession and put them on the gambling table of the negotiation -- anyway, the 16 states of Yanyun were only "rented" by Ximen Qing in name, and as long as they are properly arranged, they can be taken back into their hands at any time, and by taking advantage of the opportunity of the concession, the Liao State can also be regarded as having an explanation to the top and bottom of the Chinese Federation, and this move can also be used as an opportunity to resolve the old grievances between the Liao and Han dynasties and improve the relations between the two countries......
Just thinking of his own emperor, who had no merits other than hunting, Yelu Yu's heart couldn't help but cool down. Ximenqing's proposal is very good, and there are old precedents to follow with the Jiangnan Mingjiao, but no matter how good the proposal is, it must be nodded by the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi - for the full-time hunter amateur emperor, Yelu Yu really has no confidence.
After being stunned for a long time, Yelu Yu muttered: "Your Excellency, to be honest, your proposal is indeed exciting, but...... The biggest obstacle is our king, perhaps, he is not optimistic about your ingenuity......"
Ximen Qing said meaningfully: "General Yu Jian, you only need to write a piece of music to go up, because I have already seen the seal of the Great Liao Emperor, which has been stamped on the application for the concession!" "This is exactly what it is:
Yesterday, the Ming Dynasty planned to write a good picture. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
