With a belly full of question marks, they meet the legendary teenage hero. It's a pity that since ancient times, famous generals such as beauties, one day to see white hair, at this time Wang Deyong has been bearded with white hair, but the majesty of the veteran has not diminished, the Liao people have given a high hat as soon as they met, "We have admired your name for a long time, and we are fortunate to meet today." This year's bumper harvest in the Lanzhou area is all well managed by you."

Wang Deyong smiled slightly, "When today's son is Shengming Rende, so he has a bumper harvest year after year" cliché to ignore it, wonderful below, Wang Deyong introduced to them some of the transfer of the Great Song Dynasty personnel at that time, such as he was just transferred to Lanzhou a month ago. In addition, there is a specific history book that has not been written, but the reaction of Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu is to listen attentively and even vigilantly. What exactly did they hear? There should be only one answer: the Great Song Dynasty is gathering forces to the north. In the face of the threat, the Song Dynasty chose a tough confrontation!

After that, there was a private chat between the Liao envoy and Fu Bi. They told the true goal of the Liao Emperor. There are two: either hand over the land, or marry the princess of the Song Dynasty. One of the two!

Land has indeed been lost since the founding of the Song Dynasty, such as Lingzhou captured by Li Jiqian. But the princess? The Song Dynasty was not the Tang Dynasty, let alone the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, starting from Liu Bang, the monarchs of the past dynasties had the atmosphere of scoundrels in the market, and they only talked about the means to do things for people, and it was rare to talk about taste and formality. Especially at that time, there was no so-called Taoism and etiquette, and it was not disgraceful for women to remarry or even have illegitimate children. For example, Huo Quai, a peerless famous general of the Han people, did not hide that he was an illegitimate child at all, and he was an illegitimate child born to a slave. Therefore, for the benefit of the country and the nation, the emperors of the Han Dynasty could marry their princesses to the northern barbarians. Of course, they are also irregular when they do this kind of thing, and they usually replace them with palace maids... The Tang Dynasty was an era when Hu and Han were inseparable. The Li royal family has Hu blood in its bloodline, which derives from the fact that they later asked for help from other races again and again to quell domestic rebellions. Until An Lushan appeared, the Hu people finally couldn't get rid of the tail and dug a big pit for the fall of the Tang Dynasty. Under this state of mind. They don't mind intermarrying with people of different races. What's more, their status as strong people also makes intermarriage without a sense of humiliation...

But not in the Song Dynasty! Although Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi were born in commoners, they yearn for culture. The great defense of etiquette and the Han standard were all revived at this time, and it was no accident that the later Cheng Zhu Lixue was able to take root in the Song Dynasty! Under the dominance of this kind of thinking, especially at this time, the Song Dynasty was at a disadvantage, and intermarriage was a greater shame than defeating and suing for peace and losing territory!

After saying the conditions, the two Liao people probably also saw Fu Bi's anger, and quickly added another sentence, "Can you follow?" from it. Not from? It's even more stuffed. The king loves to maintain the people. "If you can promise, you can agree, if you can't agree, forget it, find a reason to prevaricate in the past." Don't get angry, the friendly relationship between our two countries is the most important thing.

But when they entered Kaifeng City on March 26, the faces of these two people changed again, almost the same as when they first arrived at the border. In addition to kneeling down and kowtowing to Emperor Renzong, it is inevitable, but the words he says are completely the status of the kingdom.

First of all, in the spirit of the national letter, the Song Dynasty first had to explain the reasons for the abuse of the Liao State in the past few decades. Then the envoy of the Liao State came to play impassionedly. Liu Liufu said: What are you doing digging ditches on the border in the Southern Dynasties? Isn't it just to guard against our cavalry? I'll tell you, it's useless! We can jump over with some reeds and straw or something! It's really ruthless. Our 100,000 cavalrymen each threw a bag of dirt and it was enough to fill it ... After speaking, he threw his hands down to the palace, leaving the Great Song monarch and ministers there to gasp.

For a long time, Zhao Zhen asked: Everyone talk, what should I do now. How to answer the question...

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent for a long time, and the one who stood up the most advanced in theory in the Song Dynasty at that time was the most profound. Former champion, now Hanlin bachelor Wang Gongchen. Wang Zhuangyuan flipped through the vast historical materials of the previous dynasties and finally found a small flaw in the Liao State.

He said that Emperor Taizong did suddenly attack Youzhou after defeating the Northern Han Dynasty. But that was a decision that was made in another case that happened suddenly. The Khitans first expressed neutrality, but they quietly sent troops to support the Northern Han Dynasty, which was discovered by us. Only then did a fierce battle take place at Shiling Pass, and our General Guo Jin won a complete victory. We're completely forced to fight! As for the attack on Youzhou, in the face of provocation, can't we vent?

Regarding the issue of ditches on the border, Wang Zhuangyuan's opinion is to ignore it. The reason is very simple, if the Khitans really regard the anti-riding ditch as worthless, they will shut up. Now it's just a verbal threat. Ignore it, when you don't hear anything...

This brings us to the second stage of blackmail: the Song Dynasty's counteroffer. Cession of territory is absolutely impossible. There is a small discussion with the relatives, and the princess of the real brand should not dream, and the girl from the side branch of the clan may be able to. All the Song Dynasty could promise was to add money. There is a small fluctuation above 300,000 taels per year.

On April 7, Fu Bi and Fu Weizhong followed the Liao envoy on the road and went to Liao to meet Yelu Zongzhen. There was a small episode before leaving. The Song Dynasty decided to give Fu Bi a promotion. This is a common practice, when the Song Dynasty representative Cao used his status to be only a small clerk of the Privy Council, for the sake of national dignity, he was temporarily promoted to the cabinet gate and deputy envoy of Chongyi. On March 28, Renzong decided to promote Fubi to a member of the Ministry of Rites and a member of the Privy Council, which was close to the top officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, which can be said to be a step to the sky. How many people are dreaming of it! But Fu Bi's answer was: The country is in crisis, the minister obeys orders, and it is the duty of the minister to go back and forth, why do you want to use the official to bribe me?

So Fu Bi went on the road, still in his original position. During Fu Bi's rush to Liao, the Great Song Dynasty also urgently made some adjustments to the northern frontier defense. In the spring, Chong Shiheng of Qingjian City on Yanyan Road was transferred to Huanzhou on Huanqing Road with Fan Zhongyan to garrison. On April 21, Wang Deyong was deployed as the capital of Dingzhou Road. On May 1, Zhang Kang was under the jurisdiction of Gaoyangguan Road. On the 8th, he ordered Li Zhaoshu, the capital of Hebei, to recruit troops and repair the northern city of Zhouzhou.

On the 11th, due to the death of the deputy envoy Fu Weizhong, Zhang Maoshi, the governor of Beizhou, was urgently appointed as the deputy envoy of Liao.

On the 16th, Song Renzong issued an edict: Hebei Daimyo Mansion as the fourth capital of the Great Song Dynasty after Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion, Xijing Henan Mansion and Nanjing Yingtian Mansion - Beijing Daimyo Mansion. On the 17th, Cheng Lin was appointed as the prefect and stayed in Beijing. On June 17th, he ordered the deputy privy envoy to serve as the lieutenant and the deputy governor of the city, Fu Jiming, as the chief and deputy envoy to build Beijing, and quickly build the city of Beijing! On the 24th, Ming Ho was the governor of the state and the east of the river to pacify the envoy.

Before that, on June 4, Fu Bi and Zhang Maoshi had come to the capital of Liao. When approaching the national capital, Liu Liufu privately found Fu Bi, "Rich man." If our emperor is determined to cede the land, and the others don't agree, what should we do about this?" Fu Bi understood: At best, this is to get to the bottom first, and set the tone for the upcoming negotiations. To put it badly, the Liao people were already bargaining, and they blocked the back road of the Song Dynasty at the beginning, and there was no room for maneuver at all.

There is only one solution: never give in! Even an inch of back will provoke even greater greed! Fu Bi emphasized, "If you are determined to cede the land, you are breaking the covenant. The 'Abyss Alliance' is now null and void. If that's the case, the land is just an excuse! Our Southern Dynasty will never agree, only Heng Ge waits" Liu Liufu looked very sad: Alas, your Southern Dynasty is so stubborn, this matter will be difficult to do...

Fu Bi almost got angry, is there anything more shameless than this? I'm going to kill you, please sharpen the knife for me, don't you" Your Northern Dynasty asked for land cutting for no reason, and we didn't immediately send troops to resist. Instead, he sent me with good words to discuss marrying a daughter and increasing coins, so that you don't agree, and say that our Southern Dynasty is stubborn" Liu Liufu thought for a long time and didn't say anything more. Private contact rupture. The people of the Song Dynasty were not convinced, so they could only continue to threaten and threaten...

Liaoxing Sect Yelu Zong really went out in person. After the normal etiquette, Fu Bi spoke first, "Song Liao has been reconciled to himself for nearly 40 years, father and son. Now the emperor you suddenly asked for the land to be ceded, for what?"

Yelu Zongzhen simplified the content of the national letter. Recite it again: Your Song Dynasty breached the contract first, plugged the Yanmen, increased the pond water, governed the city god, and the militia, what are you doing? It makes us very uneasy. The ministers all said that they would send troops directly. Let you understand what is wrong. But this emperor is very merciful, and thinks that it is better to go back to our Guannan land first. If you don't agree, it's not too late to send troops. What do you think, rich messenger?

Fu Bi looked at the 27-year-old Khitan youth and felt really discouraged. Not only do you not understand history, but you don't even know how to be the emperor of this nomadic people. There was no way, Fu Bi decided to teach the little emperor of Liao from scratch. The content is divided into two: 1. A comprehensive review of the Battle of Lanyuan. 2 Point out the death hole of the Khitan emperors of the past dynasties, if you don't understand this, our Song Dynasty will have big trouble in the future, because your throne is not stable.

Regarding the first, Fu Bi asked directly: Has the Liao State forgotten the great virtue of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty? In the battle of Lanyuan back then, if you listened to Kou Zhun and intercepted you halfway, could there be survivors in Liao?

Regarding the second, Fu Bi asked: Knowing the peace and war, will there be any changes in the identities between the emperor and the courtiers of your Liao State? The little Khitan emperor was a little stunned when he heard it, and Fu Bi summed it up in one sentence in order to make him understand more thoroughly-it is your personal benefit to be good with the Song Dynasty. It is your courtiers who benefit from the war with the Song Dynasty. They encourage you to go to war, all for their own sake, not for your sake at all!

Yelu Zongzhen immediately panicked and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Fu Bi took him to review history again, which is really a long lesson in history. Starting from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms: The reason why the Khitan people were able to get the sixteen states of Yanyun was that there were 10 counties south of Waqiao Pass that you couldn't let go, why? Right! Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty! This is a traitor who deceived the king and rebelled, and it was he who asked your Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang for help, and took 16 states as the reward for sending troops. Then there is the late Emperor Shi Zhonggui of the Later Jin Dynasty, this is a stupid man who can't see the situation clearly, he challenges you, and after defeat, the Liao State can be called emperor in the Central Plains! It looks like a complete victory, and the war is only good for you. However, it should be noted that the so-called "China" at that time was just a small court that was unpopular with the people in the Later Jin Dynasty. With that level of territorial strength, what happened to you? Even the emperor Yelu Deguang himself died in the Han land and returned to China as a dried corpse. Is this the success that you have always been proud of? And most importantly, where are your gains? It is true that you have robbed a great deal of money and made a fortune, but to whom has it got? It's all in the pockets of the generals and soldiers! But the dead and wounded, as well as the consumption of grain, grass and military supplies, must be borne by the emperor! Don't you know all this?

Yeluzong was really dumbfounded. His father died early, his mother was purely violent, and the ministers were selfish, and no one really told him!

Fu Bi's question is not over yet, and the most weighty sentence is left for the last. Excuse me: A small and ruined country in the Later Jin Dynasty can make the Khitan suffer a heavy blow, and now our Great Song Dynasty has thousands of miles, millions of elite soldiers, countless money and food, laws and regulations, and one heart, if you want to go to war, are you sure of victory?

Yelu Zongzhen was silent for a long time, and slowly said two words, "Can't"

Softened? Very good! But Fu Bi corrected him: It's not that it can't, it's true that "the victory or defeat is unknown" Let's take 10,000 steps back and say, the Liao State has won, but the ministers are responsible for the loss of soldiers, horses, money and food, or are you responsible? On the contrary, if the two countries were on good terms and adhered to the covenant, at that time, the annual annual coin of the Song Dynasty would only go to His Majesty, and the courtiers would only receive some rewards from the envoys who came and went. That's the key! All the ministers of your Liao Kingdom can't get half of the benefits! Isn't it clear which is more and which is less?

Next, Fu Bi explained the things that Yelu Zongzhen had just mentioned: Saiyanmen was to guard against Li Yuanhao; Zengtang water was made by He Chengju during the time of Taizong of the Song Dynasty, when our two countries had not yet signed the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and they were still enemy countries; The city gods and militia are just restoring the old system that was abandoned before. Where did we Da Song have any breach of contract?

Explaining this, the national fortunes of the two countries and the lives of the world all depend on only one issue. That is, how much IQ does this Khitan little emperor and 27-year-old young Yelu Zongzhen have? It's not hopelessly stupid, I know what to do!

But the wonderful thing is that Yelu Sect really thought about it and thought about it, and actually deleted all the words that Fu Bi just said. He went around in a big circle, and returned to the original point, "Well, Aiqing, you said it very well, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do." But I still want the 10 county towns south of Waqiaoguan. Because it is the inheritance left to me by my ancestors", it should be said that Jerod is really right. He thought of something deeper, farther, and more - based on the nomadic national conditions of the Liao State, it was the emperor who suffered the loss of the war. But if you don't fight, how did you get the throne? So you still have to fight, but you have to talk about strategy! If I want to benefit, it's another thing whether I can send troops or not. It is clear that the northwest of the Song Dynasty is now tight, and I am knocking bamboo in vain. If you knock harder, what will the ministers get? How are I threatened? (To be continued......)
