At the end of November, Liao, Wuqing City.

As the weather became colder and colder, it was already snowing heavily, and the Zhou army under the banner of the Zhou army had to stop at Wuqing City.

On the top of the city tower, Lu Siqiao, who was wearing a robe and cloak, was standing and looking into the distance, the whole person seemed to be covered by heavy snow, and from a distance, the cloak turned snow-white.

The snowman Lu Siqiao couldn't understand why when he followed Su Shi into the Liao Realm, it was so smooth, and the army pointed out, invincible, invincible. But when it comes to yourself, is it difficult to walk?

The Zhou army has been training for more than two years, and it already has a foundation, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not much worse than the so-called Su family's army.

This can be seen from the fact that they can evade the scouts of the Song State and smoothly enter the Liao realm.

When they first entered the Liao realm, they also went deep and simple, until they came to Wuqing City smoothly, and after they did not capture it very hard, everything changed.

As if they knew that they would come, the Liao army actually transferred troops everywhere, and quickly blocked all their northbound roads, and failed to open a safe passage for several successive troops, plus winter was coming, and it snowed heavily, so she had no choice but to let the Zhou army retreat to Wuqing City.

Lu Siqiao remembered that even in colder weather than this, Su Shi also took the army to Monti, and gained a lot.

Could it be that the gap between the two is really that big?

Lu Siqiao couldn't understand, what she didn't know was that she was in such a predicament now, thanks to Su Shi.

After entering the Liao border three times and fighting one surprise attack after another, the Liao army suffered losses in a row, how could it be that there was no defense?

Originally, the Liao army around Wuqing City was arranged to prevent Su Shi from leading the army again, but he didn't expect that it was not Su Shi who ushered in, but the Zhou army.

Of course, even if the Liao army had already taken precautions, it would not be too difficult for Su Shi to lead the Su army to find a way out. Without it, no matter how tight the encirclement is, there will inevitably be weak points.

Not to mention, the area around Wuqing City is vast, and it is impossible to guard it very tightly in every direction. If it was Su Shi, he could send the Flying Eagle Squadron to understand the enemy's situation, and once he seized the opportunity, the walkie-talkie, a tool that could be contacted and talked to at any time, came in handy.

As long as Su Shi gives an order, the army can think in one place and work hard in one place.

On the other hand, Zhou Jun, when they see the opportunity, when the notice goes down, the opportunity will disappear.

In addition to this, there is one most important point. As long as Su Shi is there, food and clothing are never a worrying thing. Even if it is a fight for consumption, no one will be Su Shi's opponent.

The Zhou army couldn't, the food consumed by the 20,000 army every day was a big problem, which made them have to think twice when they made every decision, unless necessary, they didn't dare to enter the encirclement of the Liao people and do a war against the water.

The conditions in all aspects are inferior, and it is inevitable that the Zhou army will be trapped in Wuqing City.

Speaking of which, Lu Siqiao also has to thank the heavy snow falling, if it is summer at this time, I am afraid that the various armies of the Liao State will already appear under Wuqing City, at that time, the time left for her will definitely not be as rich as it is in front of her.

"Sister, it's cold, let's go back first." Feng Chun

Xue didn't know when she came to Lu Siqiao's side and said with concern.

"Okay, let's go back." Sighing, Lu Siqiao, who couldn't think of any way to break the game, was ready to turn around and leave. But at this time, in the heavy snow outside the city, a cavalry team faintly appeared.

"If there is an enemy, everyone will go up to the tower, be on guard, be on guard."

Lu Siqiao saw this cavalry team, and shouted loudly at the moment, and many Zhou soldiers suddenly appeared on the tower of the northern city, which was originally covered with snow, and they stared at the city with strong bows in their hands one by one.

The cavalry team that came did belong to the Liao State. And it is also the envoy team of the emperor of Liao.

Zhang Jian, as an envoy, is in the team, and he still belongs to the type that has the final say.

Zhang Jian was also unlucky, after Liu Liufu died, he was lucky to succeed as the third envoy of the Liao State, but the Liaomeng War and the Liao-Song War broke out.

Although in the final work of the battle of Liaomeng, Zhang Jian made a contribution, saying that the barbarian Meng and Liao reached an alliance. But then, when he fought against Su Shi, he lost in a mess.

In the end, Zhang Jian lost the position of the third envoy and went to serve in the Honglu Temple of Liaoguo.

This time, the Zhou army suddenly appeared in the Liao realm, and Zhang Jian was appointed as an envoy to negotiate.

Also coming were members of the Liao royal family, Yelu Angkor.

Yelu Angkor, Chinese name Yelu Zongxun. The fourth son of Liao Shengzong.

The mother servant Kui Shi, this person's strength is mediocre, but his great-grandson Yelu Shulie became the future emperor of Liao, which can be regarded as a competition.

At this time, Yelu Angkor, who held the position of the Great Inner Hidden Minister, managed the four tents (four

The account is the horizontal account and Meng's father's room, the middle father's room, and Ji's father's room) to the effect that it is similar to Zhao Yunrang's position as a large Zongzheng.

This time, Yelu Angkor was able to come, but it was really boring to stay in the capital, and I just heard that the female leader of the Zhou army was very beautiful, so I came here.

Braving the wind and snow, all the Liao troops in the team, including Yelu Angkor, were full of complaints, but Zhang Jian, who was the main envoy, was a little excited, because he knew that now was his opportunity to make meritorious contributions and his opportunity to make a comeback.

The real success is always good at grasping various opportunities.

They are not afraid of making mistakes, they are afraid of not having a chance. As long as there is a platform that can show their abilities, they can often rise to the top again and become a part of the human master.

In Zhang Jian's eyes, the appearance of Zhou Jun is a platform for him to display his talents and abilities.

The Liao State has been tossed too badly by Su Shi in the past few years, and they don't want to continue fighting. The requirement given above is that some concessions can be made appropriately, and it is best to let the Zhou army withdraw from the Liao realm. It's really not okay, even if Wuqing City is owned by it, it's not impossible.

There is only one requirement, that is, not to let the Zhou army continue to go north.

From this point of view alone, the top leaders of the Liao State have indeed become corrupt and incompetent, and they are essentially becoming consistent with the Great Song Dynasty.

Liao and Song were both big countries at that time, but because the high-level people were accustomed to living a luxurious life, they became troubled and afraid of death.

It is no wonder that after the rise of the barbarian Meng, they destroyed the Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, which made them realize that the so-called big country could not be beaten.

For others, go to the front line to talk to the enemy

Judging is a very dangerous thing, but in Zhang Jian's eyes, this is the best opportunity.

Think about it, as long as the task can be completed, it is equivalent to making a contribution, and Zhang Jian will have the opportunity and foundation to return to the top level of Liao State again.

So, this time Zhang Jian came and came with confidence.

The team of envoys stopped in front of the north gate of Wuqing City, followed by shouting and revealing their identities. Then the hanging basket was put down on the city tower, and Zhang Jian climbed the city tower alone.

The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy.

But anyone who has some ideas and wants a lot will abide by this rule.

Since Lu Siqiao has played the banner of Zhou, of course he will regard himself as orthodox in the world, and Zhang Jian does not have to worry about what Zhou Jun will do to him.

In fact, Lu Siqiao did not have the idea of cutting the envoy, on the contrary, she was very curious about what the other party wanted to say.

In the original general's mansion in Wuqing City, Lu Siqiao was the first to sit.

On his left hand side are the master Desert Sword Maniac Qiao Yuntian, as well as Qiu Da and Li Kesheng's master and apprentice.

There is only one person sitting on the right, Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian's identity has long been known to Lu Siqiao and others, and they have already experienced it. After entering the reception hall, Li Kesheng was prompted by Lu Siqiao's eyes, and immediately asked: "Envoy Zhang, right, but I don't know that he came in the snow, but he is coming to declare war with my Zhou army?" ”

"Nope! No! The general must have misunderstood, this time the envoy came to send benefits to you. Zhang Jian had a confident smile on his face.

"Benefits?" Li Kesheng was stunned.

Not only him, but Lu Siqiao and the three of them also looked confused.

Next is the time for Zhang Jian's performance.

Then he said, "If the envoy's guess is right."

In other words, all the generals and heroes should be the descendants of the Han orthodox Great Zhou. Hey, speaking of Da Zhou, although there were disputes with us at the beginning, we still respect you very much. ”

Saying these words, Zhang Jian still looked like he was reminiscing about the past.

called Lu Siqiao and others generals and heroes, and said that the Great Zhou was orthodox.

As soon as these words fell, they really aroused the favor of Lu Siqiao and others.

Although it is true that they are descendants of the Great Zhou, after all, a hundred years have passed, and how many people in the world today still remember the former Great Zhou?

The so-called winner is the king, and the loser is the loser.

Defeated, defeated. Even if the Great Zhou is long gone, it is normal that this banner is being raised now, even if it is not understood by the world.

But now, this Liao envoy has given them so much respect, and with this, Lu Siqiao and the others have some excitement in their hearts.

Zhang Jian was talking while observing Lu Siqiao and the others. When he saw the surprise on their faces, he smiled in his heart, and he knew that he had made the right bet.

"Envoy Zhang, you just said that the Great Zhou is orthodox, do you really think so?" Although Lu Siqiao was also a little excited, she still had to ask for some words.

"Of course. The Great Zhou is orthodox, is there any doubt about it? Today's Song Dynasty was not usurped by some Zhao villains, in contrast, our Da Liao is more willing to deal with gentlemen than villains. ”

Under Zhang Jian's affirmative statement, Lu Siqiao and the others really felt a sense of relief on their faces.

"Thank you, Envoy Zhang, for your recognition of us. Okay, so you can talk about your coming

Meaning. Lu Siqiao's tone was also a little more relaxed.
