With countless resentments, the two still had the last glimmer of hope, that is, to catch up with Su Shi and hit Su Shi heavily with the Liao army in Shenshan City.

If they can take Su Shi next, it will be regarded as making up for it, and they still have a chance.

came in a hurry all the way, until he arrived at Songziling and saw the Liao army guarding the mountain road in front of him, and he knew that the Su army had never been here at all.

Su Shi didn't even come east?

This answer once again shocked Xiao Ying and the others. They hurriedly sent a large number of scouts to search around, especially the northern land, which was the direction they feared the most.

They feared that Su Shi's army would go north first, threatening the security of Zhongjing in the east.

Fortunately, the scouts soon reported that Su Shi's army did not go north, but most likely south along the Luan River.

"There are scouts in the police station to look for it, and you must determine the traces of the Su family."

Knowing that Su Shi did not go north, Xiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't dare to relax too much, Su Shi gave him the feeling that he was too cunning, and no one knew if this was his trick.

But they want it to be true from the bottom of their hearts.

As long as Su Shi doesn't threaten Zhongjing, they can still be saved, and it's a big deal to spend more money to buy some people to speak for them.

Su Shi did choose to go south this time.

In other words, Luanhe City is not the first time Su Shi has come.

The last time he entered Liao, Su Shi had been here, and this time he was a little familiar with the road.

The army made no detours, made its way south, and suddenly appeared outside Luanhe in mid-October.

Only this time, Luanhe City received the fly first

The pigeon sent a message and closed the door one step ahead.

The Liao army in the city stood on top of the city tower, watching the Su army go along the city and disappear.

Finally confirmed that Su Shi's army appeared in Luanhe City, Xiao Ying and Zhang Jian were greatly relieved, and at the same time, they once again wrote a recital, proposing peace talks with Song.

No more talking.

Now many Liao troops are talking about the change of Su color.

Cowardice before fighting, pointing to such an army, it is impossible to injure Su Shi, severely damage Su Shi, and catch Su Shi.

At the same time as writing the book, Xiao Shan and Zhang Jian jointly ordered that all Liao army cities south of Luanhe City should be defended behind closed doors, and they should not be engaged in battle with the Su army, so they were allowed to roam here, and if they could withdraw to the Song Dynasty, that would be the best result.

Su Shi saw that the gate of Luanhe City was closed, so he had to order the army to continue south, and followed him to the vicinity of Zunhua, the capital of Jingzhou.

Here is also the city gate closed, the city tower is full of Liao soldiers, just like this, watching the Su army come to the city, neither come out to attack, nor open the city gate, ready for a battle.

"Young marshal, or attack the city." Hu Tongtian, the captain of the Second Black Cavalry Brigade, said with an anxious look on his face.

He didn't like the feeling of hitting a wall at every turn.

"No." Su Shi shook his head.

The siege represents hard fighting, although Su Shi is confident to take Zunhua, but what next?

Is it possible that every time a city is encountered, it must be attacked hard, in this case, how many of the 30,000 elites under his command can survive?

"Go to Shimen Town."

Zunhua has a city defense, which is not so easy to attack, but Shimen Town to the south is different.

There are no walls there, so it is not easy to defend.

Shimen Town, Su Shi has also been here, and he is still in the pit here

Killed three thousand elite Liao cavalry.

When I came here again, I found that things were already different.

There wasn't even a single person in the town to see it, and they should have fled after getting the news in advance.

Supposedly, a town that has no people and no supplies is of little use to an army of 30,000.

But in Su Shi's eyes, it is promising.

It's already the end of October, and it's getting colder.

Although the Su Shi army had cotton clothes to protect them, it didn't mean that they didn't know about the cold. There is an urgent need for shelter from the elements.

Along the way, all you can encounter is either a city with a closed gate, or a Liao army scout looking at it from a distance. Su Shi had already discovered that these Liao people did not bother them, or said that they had the intention of fighting them.

Even if the Liao army didn't want to find trouble, the city gate was closed, and it was very difficult for Su Shi to find fighters, so it was better to take a good rest first.

Shimen Town is the resting place that Su Shi chose.

All the Flying Eagle scouts were dispatched, and they were hundreds of miles away, in order to prevent the Liao army from surrounding them while they were resting.

Although it is said that the current Liao army is afraid of them, this possibility is very low, but it still exists.

When the perimeter was safe, the Su army was stationed in Shimen Town, and a large number of items were taken out by Su Shi and distributed to every soldier.

As for how these things appeared, no one asked, anyway, if there is a use, everyone has long been used to this.

In this way, surrounded by several cities in the Liao Kingdom, Su Shi started the cat winter comfortably, and I am afraid that many people dare not think about this result.

Su Shi used his own strength to do this

One point, it shocked all the surrounding Liao troops.

Su Shi's army settled down in Shimen Town, and Xiao Ying and Zhang Jian, who heard the news, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Now they don't dare to think about encircling and suppressing Su Shi, as long as he doesn't toss himself, it will be a blessing. And it was at this time that the Liao officials and lords in the capital finally came up with a result of talking about peace talks-agree.

Although Su Shi is not making trouble now, his existence has made many surrounding cities have to be closed.

You can hold on to it after a short time, but if it takes a long time, so many people in the city always have to eat and drink, and it is inevitable that there will be problems.

Even after the above agreed to the peace talks, Zhang Jian volunteered to be an ambassador and led people straight to Bianliang of the Great Song Dynasty.

Compared with the previous envoys to the Song Kingdom, there has never been such an urgency as this time.

Zhang Jian didn't even have a sedan chair, so under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, he rode to the Great Song Dynasty and went straight to Bianliang City.

Bianliang City got the news one step ahead of schedule that the Liao State would send a new envoy Zhang Jian to visit to discuss peace talks between the two countries and friendship for generations.

In the past, when Liao envoys came to the Song Dynasty, they generally did not state their purpose so clearly.

It's good to reveal a little bit of general meaning, but this time I said the purpose in advance, that is, I intended to tell Da Song, you are ready, we are not ready to fight, you see what to do.

What else can I do?

Compared with the Liao State, the Song State was more reluctant to go to war.

The Song State is the defender, and one defense is still defending the three clans, and if one is not done well, it is likely that there will be a danger of destroying the country.

Now I heard that Liao didn't want to fight, and I was very happy with these old men in the court

。 In such a situation, no one wants to put forward the condition.

They are worried, worried that if they put forward conditions, what will they do if Liao State does not agree and continues to fight?

But no one thinks about who created today's situation.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Shi was very capable of fighting, and didn't need any logistical supplies, he could be elusive, would the Liao people probably bow their heads?

Wen Yanbo volunteered to serve as the minister of peace talks with Liao before Zhang Jian arrived in Bianliang.

He believes that this is an opportunity for his own performance, just to make up for his previous misjudgment and make a wrong judgment of Western Xia.

Zhao Zhen and Wen Yanbo still have the same many governing concepts, and they also appreciate him, so they gave him this opportunity.

In November, Zhang Jian entered Bianliang.

In just five days, the two sides reached a conclusion on the relevant matters of peace talks.

Liao and Song were still fraternal countries, with a brotherly alliance and non-aggression against each other.

As a younger brother, Song will still pay tribute to Liao every year, the amount is 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 horses of silk.

The amount of the tribute is still the same as before. In the early days it was a hundred thousand pieces of silver, and two hundred thousand horses of silk. But with Su Shi's several shots, it has fallen to a low point.

If Su Shi is in Bianliang this time, he will definitely stand up and completely erase the matter of tribute.

It's a pity that Su Shi is not there, and others don't have such confidence, for fear that the peace talks will fail, so they agreed to the previous agreement.

In other words, Liao did not have any losses and reached peace talks. This also proves that these old men in the court are afraid of the Liao State and how unconfident.

After the peace talks were reached, Zhang Jian proposed it again

An additional condition, that is, I hope that the ministers of the Song Dynasty can return to Liao with him, go to Shimen Town, and inform Su Shi of the peace talks between the two sides, so that he can withdraw from the army.

Everything else is easy to say, but when it comes to sending people to Liao with Zhang Jian, the courtiers began to blame each other.

No one knows if this is a conspiracy of the Liao people to kill the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

If so, with the fact that Song was afraid of Liao, even if a minister died, I am afraid that no one would dare to seek justice for him, wouldn't it be in vain?

Having said that, even if Zhang Jian didn't mean to kill others, they really went to Shimen Town and saw Su Shi, would they really be able to persuade the other party to withdraw from the army?

Su Shiqi said that he was easy to deal with, and it was really easy to fight.

It's like that many courtiers in the court have business ties with Su Shi, which makes these people make a lot of money.

But when it comes to being difficult to deal with, it's really hard to fight. is also a lot of courtiers in the court, but they were ridiculed and thrown by Su Shi. There are even people like Fan Zhongyan who were dismissed directly because of Su Shi.

This peace talks were made possible by Su Shi's efforts.

But this time in the peace talks, Da Song didn't get anything cheap, who knows if Su Shi will be angry at this time?

If he is really angry and he doesn't retreat, who can do anything about it?

I'm afraid that the entire Great Song Dynasty will only listen to the words of the official family.

But the question is, how could Zhao Zhen follow Zhang Jian into Liao, wouldn't that have suppressed the national fortunes, even if Zhao Zhen had the guts, the other courtiers would not agree.

Who to send and who to solve the problem?

This is the most important thing after becoming a peace talk

Thing.

Zhang Jian put on a face, if no one follows him, he will not leave, and then Liao and Song will not be considered successful in peace talks, but they will not leave.
