Huang Shang asked, "What do you think will happen if Xia Envoy dies in the post house?" ”

Qiao Feng said: "Song Xia is back at war. ”

Huang Shang asked again: "The Great Song Dynasty has just been defeated, will it perish if it fights again?" ”

Qiao Feng said: "It shouldn't be, but it is inevitable that many people will die." ”

Huang Sheng nodded and said, "What you think of, Ma Dayuan will definitely be able to think of." ”

Qiao Feng pondered and asked, "Then why did he do this?" ”

Huang Shang said: "For the sake of fame." Song and Xia fought evilly, Xia had just defeated Song, and Xia envoys came to peace talks to show off their might, and Song also had to pay the price. Xia just killed more than 200,000 of us, how brutal. At this time, killing the Xia Envoy, the people at the bottom would not think that this would provoke a war again, and more people would die, they would only feel that the assassin was a big hero, and there would be a sense of revenge. Even if the war resumes, as long as the guidance is good, no one will think that it is caused by an assassin, and the people at the bottom are the easiest to be fooled. ”

Qiao Feng asked, "Just for the sake of fame, you have to kill so many people in vain?" ”

Huang Sheng said: "Maybe without Qiao Feng, he wouldn't do this, but the beggar gang has Qiao Feng, and he wants to compete with you for the support of the bottom gang, this choice can't be wrong." As for how many more people died, he couldn't see it, so it could be assumed that it had nothing to do with him. Even if he still has a conscience, as long as he hypnotizes himself, Song Xia has been fighting without him for so many years, then the next war should have nothing to do with his assassination of the Xia envoy, and it is easy to feel at ease, and even be complacent about his feat of assassinating the Xia envoy. ”

Qiao Feng felt a chill in his heart, is this still Brother Ma who he has always respected?

Qiao Feng asked, "Since Master is there, why don't you stop him?" ”

Huang Shang said: "First of all, they can't succeed. ”

Helian Tieshu has Ding Chunqiu by his side, as long as Qiao Feng doesn't make a move, the beggar gang is useless no matter how many people come.

Huang Sheng didn't say that he recognized Ma Dayuan at first sight, and he was even facilitating Ding Chunqiu to kill Ma Dayuan, but he didn't have to make a noise.

Huang Sheng continued: "Second, I am responsible for receiving the Xia envoy, but I am a civil official, and I am not responsible for protecting him, even if I want to make a move, it is the guard of the post house who makes a move, not me." ”

"And the third and most important thing is that Song can't beat Xia and has to make peace, and what I see is that Xia's desire for peace is more urgent."

Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”

Huang Shang said: "Xia will never be able to destroy Song, Xia knows, Song knows, everyone knows." So the purpose of Xia's war was just to extort money. However, last year, the Empress Dowager Liang joined forces with her younger brother Xiangguo Liang Yi to imprison the emperor and monopolize power, which led to many internal contradictions, which can be described as internal and external troubles. So even if the Xia envoy is killed, they will not continue to fight, and we don't even need to find an excuse ourselves, they will find a good excuse for us and absolve us of responsibility. ”

This is also the reason why Huang Shang has not been used to him since he saw Xia Envoy.

Qiao Feng nodded, I see, this information is beyond their grasp, even if they can find out some information, they can't dig deeper.

The truth must be in the hands of a few people, and the information of ordinary people comes from hearsay, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Qiao Feng sighed, and Huang Sheng asked, "Do you regret joining the beggar gang?" ”

Qiao Feng replied without hesitation: "No regrets." ”

Huang Shang said: "I have already seen that you are not harmonious, you won't feel it yourself." ”

Of course, Qiao Feng could feel it, although it was not as thorough as Huang Shang's analysis, there was no doubt that this matter was deliberately behind his back, and he had already felt the small gang of the high-level beggars.

Qiao Feng was a little sad, but his will was still firm and unwavering, and he said: "Master, Brother Ma, they did this, wouldn't it prove that my path was right, and they had no choice but to make this decision." ”

Huang Shang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Qiao Feng to look at the problem from this angle, and the centrifugation of the top level made him more sure of his position.

Huang Shang heartily pointed out that the reason why Qiao Feng was able to advance all the way was not because his path was right, but because he was in the martial arts world, and he had strong martial arts. Without the blessing of martial arts, even if his ability and character are better than Ma Dayuan's, he is not Ma Dayuan's opponent. The selflessness of the Grand Duke is the real reason why he and the high-level beggars deviated from morality.

But this is indeed a martial arts world, and if Huang Shang says such a thing, it is nonsense. suddenly felt that Qiao Feng was really lucky to be able to live in the martial arts world.

Qiao Feng became more and more courageous, and Huang Sheng could only save his tongue. Huang Shang left, and Qiao Feng started a new day with confidence.

The heroes of the rivers and lakes did not intimidate Helian Tieshu, with the military might of the Xia State Iron Cavalry, the lion opened his mouth, compared with the Qingli Peace Conference of the year, doubled his mouth, and reiterated the requirement of "calling a man but not a minister".

The emperor gave the bottom line of peace, money is not a problem, but it is never feasible not to be a minister. Xia has already declared himself a minister to Liao, how can he do it if he does not call himself a minister to Song?

Song can not be inside, and spend a little more money to avoid disaster, but the face must not be vague, and he must not fall into fame.

When I got to Huang Shang, I didn't wait to talk about face, I didn't give an inch to the lining alone, I didn't want to pull out a dime, and I couldn't see the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty at all.

Helian Tieshu was so angry that he had a toothache, he had never heard that the Great Song Dynasty would be concerned about money, how could he be so unlucky when he came to his place, and met an iron rooster.

Helian Tieshu wore out his mouth, and Huang Sheng was just indifferent, always pulling things away with a light breeze. In Huang Shang's mouth, he only agreed to open a trade market, and as for the money called "war reparations" or "New Year's coins", there was not a single cent.

In Huang Shang's mouth, as long as Da Song is willing to trade with Xia, Xia has already taken a big advantage, and the implication is that if he can't talk about it, Da Song will cut off trade with Xia.

Huang Shang's method of negotiating without oil and salt not only annoyed the Xia envoys, but also overwhelmed the negotiators on the Song side, which completely went against the emperor's will.

In the end, it was fed back to the emperor, and Huang Sheng came forward to explain to the emperor: "The fact that this talk has not collapsed shows that the bottom line we gave is too high, and the opponent may want peace more than us." ”

Huang Sheng and the emperor carefully explained the situation of the Xia Kingdom, now they are completely inward-looking, if they really have the strength to negotiate like this, they should have returned to the country to reorganize the army and fight again.

There is some information that the emperor is not ignorant of, but no one dares to be as sure as Huang Shang by guessing.

The emperor has always valued Huang Shang, and since Huang Shang is so confident, let him play freely. Anyway, the war is over, and this kind of negotiation with the big saw clan can be negotiated for as long as you like, and the Great Song Dynasty will not suffer.
