A day after the meeting, on the third day, under the mediation of the envoys of Western Xia, the envoys of the three parties sat together again, but the protagonist of the negotiation was replaced by Song Xia, and the Liao State lost its position as a referee and became a witness and observer, and only got a place in a corner of the big tent. 1——

The three guards were far away from the big tent ten steps away as guards, and could only hear the arguments coming from the tent from time to time, but could not hear them in detail, this kind of work can be described as boring, boring and helpless, Zhao Xin paced back and forth, driving away the winter cold.

At this time, there was a whisper nearby, and Zhao Xin looked over there but there was a group of guards following Yeluding, the number was about five hundred, and it was obviously divided into two parts, one was brightly armored, beautiful in battle, and well-armed and richly decorated, while the other was a large number of people, both in armor and weapons were much worse, and were shouted by that group of people and horses like miscellaneous servants, and the errand of serving as the guards of the big tent of course fell on these people, and the dozen or so people on duty gathered together to chat idlely, Zhao Xin listened to the familiar and unfamiliar voices of these people, and he was a little distracted, as if he had returned to his childhood at home in a dream.

"Captain, take a sip of wine and go to the cold!" Just as Zhao Xin was listening to the gossip of those Liao soldiers, Shadui came over and handed her a wine bag.

"Thank you, it's your duty, and I tell my brothers not to drink too much!" Although alcohol is forbidden in the army on weekdays, the prince is still very considerate, and allows the personnel on duty in the field to drink less to ward off the cold, Zhao Xin waved her hand, but she looked back and found that the Liao soldiers were suddenly silent, and their eyes looked directly at the wine bag in the hand of the sand pile and changed their minds. "Pile of sand. Fetch me another grain bag of wine! ”

Although the sand pile didn't understand what he meant, he still obeyed the order and quickly brought two bags of wine, "Brothers, let's have a drink together!" Zhao Xin shouted at the Liao envoy guards over there.

"This..."The Liao army looked at one person, who was obviously their leader, and he muttered for a moment, "Then thank you, everyone light a fire and bring the jerky we brought to drink!" ”

The Khitans are just as good at wine as the Dangxiang people, perhaps because of their living environment. Seeing that the wine was closer than anything else, and seeing that the chief agreed, he gathered around with cheers and set up a bonfire. Take some cold dried meat from your bag and bake it over the fire, and before the meat is ready, you can't wait to take the wine bag and drink it.

"General, what wine!" The leader took a big gulp and wiped his mouth, and handed the wine bag to Zhao Xin.

"The general still drinks less, this is soju, full of stamina!" Zhao Xin took the wine bag and dipped it on his lips, and passed the wine bag to the next person.

"The general is a Liao person, and he speaks Khitan so well!" When the leader saw Zhao Xin answer in Khitan, he said in surprise.

"Hehe, this is the commander of our Great Song Yan's guard, Zhao. How can it be Liao! The sand pile on the side answered for Zhao Xin.

"Oh, my brother is in an important position at a young age, what a promise!" The leader of the Liao army also felt speechless, how could the guards of a prince of the Great Song Dynasty choose the Liao!

"Since everyone drinks together and is a brother, don't be commensurate with a general, don't you know the name of the brother?" Zhao Xin asked.

"Our leader is Xiao Chongde, the young city lord of Yuanzhou, and this time he led the tribal army to escort His Royal Highness the King of Qin to negotiate peace!" A Liao soldier introduced.

"Yuanzhou Xiao Chongde..."Zhao Xin listened, his hand trembled, and the wine bag almost fell to the ground.

"Oh, has Commander Zhao ever been to Yuanzhou?" Xiao Chongde cut off a piece of roasted meat with a knife and handed it to Zhao Xindao.

"Nope. Just heard about it! Zhao Xin also sensed his gaffe, and immediately calmed down, "Brother Xiao's short knife is so beautiful, can you lend me a look!" She saw Xiao Chongde's short knife for cutting meat, and her heart trembled again, and she pretended to be calm.

"Why not?" Xiao Chongde rubbed the knife on the placket of his clothes. Flip the handle and hand it to Zhao Xin. …,

"This knife is really exquisite, is this kind of knife very common in Daliao Brother Xiao?" Zhao Xin played with it. Hand the knife back.

"Brother Zhao, you are wrong, this knife was specially invited by my father to make it from a craftsman in Beijing, and a total of five were made and distributed to our brothers and sisters, you see that there is also our family emblem on it!" Xiao Chongde waved his hand, and pointed to the carved pattern on the handle of the knife to show Zhao Xin.

"This king was bullied in the tent, but you minions drank with the Song people..." Just as everyone was drinking happily, Yeluding suddenly came out of the big tent, scolded and whipped Xiao Chongde and beat him.

"The prince is angry, we just drink to ward off the cold, and we have no other intentions!" Xiao Chongde was whipped on his head and face and almost fell, but he didn't dare to resist, turned over and knelt down to explain.

"The Song people don't have a good thing, get out!" Yeluding glared at Zhao Xin and the others hatefully and turned to leave, obviously being deflated in front of Zhao Ta again, and poured his anger on his subordinates.

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, I'll see you another day!" Xiao Chongde didn't know why he had a good impression of the Great Song General he had just met, and covered his face and smiled apologetically at him.

"Brother Xiao, don't say it, go back quickly!" Zhao Xin took out a bottle of gold sore medicine from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Chongde's hand, until he got on the horse and left, he sat down gloomily, picked up the wine bag and drank deeply...

．．．．．．．

"Zhao Xin, do you have something on your mind?" Zhao Ta took the knife in his hand and said, these days he is teaching Zhao Xin's knife method every day, so that she can master the newly obtained Miao knife as soon as possible, he from the essentials of holding the knife, the position of holding the knife to the use of fighting, the key points of chopping and cutting are taught little by little, but today I found that Zhao Xin is not very interested.

"Second master, no, I'm just a little irritable!" Zhao Xin also put away the knife and bowed his head and said.

"Not feeling well?" Zhao Ta reached out and touched Zhao Xin's forehead and asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine!" Zhao Xin shook his head and drooped his head.

"Then let's practice here today!" Zhao Ta looked at Zhao Xin's unyielding appearance and said.

"Zhao Xin, did you meet someone today?" The two returned to the house, Zhao Xin waited for the prince to change his clothes, brought tea, sat down next to him and carefully wiped the knife that the prince gave her, Zhao Ta thought that Zhao Xin escorted him to negotiate this morning, and there was nothing to do, so it became like this, he took a sip of water and asked.

"Second master, today I saw the people of Liao, and suddenly... I remembered something from the past. Zhao Xin lowered his head and said.

"Oh, when I saw them, did I think of your family!" Zhao said.

"Well, I remember when I was a child, every time my father went out, he was accompanied by many soldiers dressed in the same clothes as them, and I wondered if the people in the family were still alive." Zhao Xin said, there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

"You can escape, and the people in your family will definitely be able to, they will definitely be alive, and there will be a day of reunion!" Zhao Ta grabbed Zhao Xin and comforted.

"Second master, is the Great Song Dynasty going to war with the Liao State, and are we going to conquer the Liao State after the peace talks are over?" Zhao Xin asked on the prince's shoulder.

"Song Liao is an old enemy, the two sides have been entangled for a hundred years, and now that the Jurchens are rising, the Liao State is difficult to beat, and some people in the DPRK and China instigated the saint to take the opportunity to send troops for their own purposes, and take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie!" Zhao Tan didn't answer directly, and patted Zhao Xin lightly, "Tactically speaking, it is the right time to attack Liao in Lianjin, after Song captures the sixteen states of Yanyun, it can change the situation that the Central Plains region has no danger to defend for a hundred years, and has to rely on a large army to defend passively." Strategically speaking, this is a stupid move, the Khitan is influenced by the Han Yi, and it is no longer a nomadic people who drink blood from Rumao, and the two houses of the north and the south are co-governed, basically sinicized, and the old neighbors for more than 100 years, although there are fights from time to time, they are basically safe and secure. And the Jin Kingdom has just been civilized, how can you know any etiquette, it is impossible for a wolf who has eaten meat to become a vegetarian sheep again, and the powerful force, coupled with the increasingly ferocious and tyrannical nature, is too dangerous. ”…,

"Song and Jin are thousands of miles apart, and there is no hatred, so won't they coexist peacefully?" Zhao Xin asked.

"No, the coming era will be an era of the jungle, and there are only annexation and anti-annexation, suppression and counter-suppression between countries, and even between Song and Liao, it is also a friendly alliance formed by each other helplessly after the Great War of Lanyuan. If you want the Jin State to let go of such a delicious and delicious piece of fat just because the Song Dynasty has no old enmity with it, it is a fool's dream, as long as the Liao State is destroyed, the Song and Jin countries will turn into confrontation, and now the Western Xia, who is wagging his tail and begging for mercy, will also wait for the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, then it will be the Spring and Autumn War, the princes will fight each other, and it will be the time for the heroes to compete for the deer and divide the Central Plains again! Zhao Ta stroked Zhao Xin's hair and said.

"So now that Liao can't beat Jin, and the Song Dynasty doesn't want to be neighbors with Jin, what should be done?" Zhao Xin meekly curled up in the arms of the prince, and asked with a raised face.

"There is only one way, to help Liao destroy Jin, and concentrate the elites of the two countries to strangle the Jin Kingdom, a world-destroying disaster, in the cradle!" Zhao said.

"So the second master wants to send troops to help Liao?" Zhao Xin perked up and asked.

"If it was possible five years ago, now that the Jurchens founded the country and captured half of the Liao State, it is like the sunset, and the Liao State is already the twilight of the Western Mountain, at this time, even if the Song Dynasty is willing to join forces with the Liao to resist the Jin, it is too late, and the demise of the Liao State is only a matter of time. And the only thing I can mobilize and be loyal to me is the loyal army, which is less than 20,000 pro-army, and now I can't complete such a difficult task in terms of quantity, quality, spirit, and material preparation, and now my father is preparing to raise the country's army to attack Liao, if I help Liao, won't I become a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished, what I can do is to get Yanyun at all costs, establish a northern defense line, and make preliminary preparations for the future war! Zhao Ta said with a heavy heart.

"So the second master's expedition to the west is to destroy the life of Western Xia and prevent it from taking the opportunity to attack the Great Song Dynasty in the next big war, and the envoy who deliberately provoked the Liao State in the peace talks recently is also to find an excuse to start a war with Liao in the future?" Zhao Xin asked again. (To be continued......)
