Shen Guhong said: "If the Holy Lord really wants to appreciate something, then give me a few jars of good wine, and when the matter of Da Liao is over, how about we sit down and have a good drink?"

Zhao Hengda laughed, he was a son of heaven, and the only one who dared to talk to him like this was Shen Guhong.

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news in this Lanyuan County!" Zhao Heng and Shen Guhong walked side by side and walked towards the palace together.

Because of a big victory, the Great Song Dynasty turned the corner, Zhao Heng ordered the dancing girls in the palace to choreograph, and the singing and dancing in the palace were leveled, and many ministers were not as sad as before, and they drank happily.

Shen Guhong is now a great hero, and he has naturally become a hot figure, and there are many ministers who come up to toast. Wang Qinruo, Cao Yong, Chen Yaosuo and other people who escaped were all very faceless, but the Great Song Dynasty threatened to get rid of it, which is finally good, after all, if the Great Song Dynasty is gone, their ministers will also be like rootless duckweed, and they can't talk about it in the court.

There was a lot of joy in Lanyuan County, Dingzhou City, but the Liao army camp was gloomy, and Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu were a little distracted. Isn't it the good news that came from the front? Why is it that all of a sudden, there are no people?

"What the hell is going on?" Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help coughing a few times because she was excited. Xiao Sese told the things in the army, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help frowning, and then sighed, and said: "The defeat is decided, why do you need to say more?"

Yelu Longxu said: "The queen mother thinks twice, if she retreats like this, how to explain to the ministers of the court?"

Empress Dowager Xiao said: "Remember, you are the lord of the Great Liao Kingdom, and you don't need to explain to anyone!"

"Yes!" Yelu Longxu agreed, although he was unwilling now, it was an indisputable fact that the Great Liao army was defeated.

Hatred flashed in Xiao Sese's eyes, and he said, "I must kill Shen Guhong with my own hands!"

Empress Dowager Xiao put her hand on her shoulder, sighed, and said: "He has already had an accident, our Xiao family can no longer withstand the toss, you have to take a good job, as for revenge or something, on the battlefield, either you die, or I live." ”

Yelu Longxu said: "We can send dead soldiers, as long as we kill Shen Guhong, my Da Liao will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!"

Empress Dowager Xiao said: "Wouldn't it be better to let Zhao Heng kill him?"

Yelu Longxu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, if Shen Guhong is executed, then the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be in chaos, and our opportunity will come!"

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, she just smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Xiao Sese looked at the mother and son, she was bored for the first time in her life.

In Lanyuan County, in the palace, Wang Qinruo was about to fall asleep, but at this moment, a black shadow pushed open the room, but it was Xiao Sese, who quietly came in from the Liao army camp.

Wang Qinruo knew Xiao Sese, his eyes flashed slightly, and said, "I have received an order from the Queen Mother, I don't know why Miss Seser is here?"

Xiao Sese said lightly: "I'm going to kill Shen Guhong, you tell me where he lives!"

Wang Qinruo also hoped that Shen Guhong would die at the moment, and he told Xiao Sese about Shen Guhong's residence. Xiao Sese left the palace overnight, led more than a dozen dead soldiers, and went to the house where Shen Guhong lived.

Shen Guhong took off the Yunlong battle armor and changed back to his usual ordinary clothes, laughing with Mi Fang. Suddenly, his expression froze slightly, and he said softly: "A guest is here!"

Mi Fang said, "Could it be her?"

Shen Guhong sighed and said, "It should be!"

"Empress Dowager Xiao is a scheming person, she wouldn't do such a stupid thing, and this time she came should be her own intention. Mi Fang said.

Shen Guhong said: "After all, I killed her own brother!"

In this house, not only Shen Guhong and Mi Fang lived, but also Mo Qingfeng, Yingting, Xiao Qing and others. Xiao Sese and her dead soldiers had not yet entered Shen Guhong's courtyard behind, but they were stopped by Yingting and Xiao Qing.

"Let's go back, everything on the battlefield is helpless, after all, the position is different!" Yingting said.

Xiao Se said hatefully: "Tonight is either him or me!"

"If it was him who died on the battlefield, then what do you think we should do?" Xiao Qing said at this time.

On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and as an enemy, it is either you who die or I die. To put it bluntly, this battle of Song Liao was single-handedly facilitated by Xiao Rin, and now that he has died in battle, to put it negatively, it is the will of God, and from the facts, it is inferior to others.

Xiao Se was trembling all over, tears had already wet her cheeks, and at that moment she thought of the faces of the Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu, and in an instant, she was discouraged, leading more than a dozen dead soldiers, and quietly walked out of Lanyuan County.

On the second day, Zhao Heng had just gotten up, and Wang Qinruo had already come to his bedroom.

Wang Qinruo said: "Holy Lord, although we have won the battle of Lanyuan this time, we have also suffered countless casualties, and the deficit of the treasury is becoming more and more serious, so it is not appropriate to fight again!"

Now that the Great Song Dynasty is the most powerful, it is not impossible to subdue the lost Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, but the treasury is indeed not rich, and if there is a big war at the moment, it is indeed a bit serious.

Zhao Heng said: "Now it's not me who wants to fight, it's his Liao people who occupy my Great Song land, if you don't drive them out, this battle will not be considered a victory!"

Wang Qinruo smiled and said, "Does the Holy Lord still remember that Wang Jizhong?"

Zhao Heng snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you remember? If he hadn't surrendered the Liao, how could the Liaons go all the way south and hit here?"

Wang Qinruo said: "It is true that he is a minister, Empress Dowager Xiao asked him to send a message, saying that he is willing to withdraw from the Great Song Dynasty, with the Baigou River as the boundary, and the Great Song Dynasty can send them some silver taels of silk every year, in addition, it is to kill Shen Guhong by the saint!"

When Zhao Heng heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and said: "They are wishful thinking, Gu Hong is not only a soldier of the three armies, but also a friend of mine, if you want me to kill Shen Guhong, it is better to tell them, let's fight directly!"

Wang Qinruo didn't expect that Zhao Heng would be so resolute, and his face changed a few times at the moment, but he had to retreat.

On the main hall of the palace, many ministers were discussing the matter of peace, and at this time, Cao Yong, Chen Yaosu and others were discussing again, explaining the harm brought by the continuation of the war to the Great Song Dynasty. They believe that although Shen Guhong won a battle, for the sake of peace, sacrificing a small ego and fulfilling the big self is the style that a chivalrous and general should have.

Yang Yanzhao is not in the court now, and it is extremely difficult for Kou Zhun to block the mouths of many ministers. At that moment, he said loudly: "Holy Lord, although the treasury is not rich, it should be no problem to survive these few months, let's strike while the iron is hot and take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, so that my Great Song Dynasty will definitely be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time." ”

Wang Qinruo snorted coldly and said, "Xiangye said it lightly, although the commander of the Liao army was killed, they are the army of tigers and wolves after all, and the elite is still there." Don't say that it is to subdue the sixteen states of Yanyun, once the war breaks out, it is difficult to say whether it can be defeated. Besides, the treasury is no longer rich, and the daily expenses of the palace are frugal, do you want to live a hard life?"

Kou Zhun said coldly: "Lord Wang is really powerful, the person who said that he couldn't beat you was you, but now it's clear that my Song army occupies the top, and you still insist on that set, I wonder if you are a Song person or a Liao person!"

Wang Qinruo's face changed, and he shouted, "You ······"

Kou Zhun interrupted him and said: "If you continue to fight, the Holy Lord really needs to be thrifty, but once you subjugate the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, with this land, Da Liao will no longer have the opportunity to invade the Great Song Dynasty, and then my Great Song Dynasty will definitely be the country and the people, or in three or two years, it will definitely go to the peak, at that time, the Tianwei of the Great Song Dynasty will be powerful in the world, who would dare to attack it easily?"

Zhao Heng frowned slightly, Kou Zhun said that he should be frugal for a few months, these words made him very unhappy, and he said at the moment: "War, for the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty, is not a good thing, if it can be reconciled, it is naturally the best!"

Wang Qinruo's spirits perked up, and he said: "Da Liao has already put forward conditions, as long as the Holy Lord gives them some finances and kills Shen Guhong, it will be fine, in this way, the two countries can be regarded as real peace!"

But at this moment, a voice came from outside: "Who dares to say anything about killing Shen Shuai in exchange for peace, I, Lin Tianhu, will be the first to cut off his head." ”

"And I, Zhang Gui!" Zhang Gui and Lin Tianhu walked in together, both of them were angry, making many civil servants silent.

Wang Qinruo said lightly: "Sacrificing a small self to achieve peace between the two countries is his honor Shen Guhong!"

Lin Tianhu directly took out a long knife, put it on Wang Qinruo's neck, and said: "When Lao Tzu and Shen Shuai were working hard outside, you fucking shrunk in the house and didn't dare to say a word, and now that you have finally won, you came out to fart again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu is now beheading you with a knife, and you are also honored to feed the dog with your head?"

Although Wang Qinruo was bold, he felt the cold sword light, and his legs were also weak, and he shouted, "You······ You are bold!"

Lin Tianhu said: "Under Lao Tzu's knife, there are not 1,000 enemy troops who have been killed, but 800, do you say Lao Tzu is bold?"

Lin Tianhu and Zhang Gui didn't know that Zhao Heng's jealousy of Shen Guhong started from their presumptuous efforts in the main hall to defend Shen Guhong.

"Presumptuous, this is above the main hall, you are so arrogant, will you not take the Holy One in your eyes, do you want to rebel?" Chen Yaosu shouted sharply.

Kou Zhun also shouted: "Don't be rude!"

Wang Qinruo's legs were already weak with fright, and he collapsed directly to the ground. Lin Tianhu heard Kou Zhun's shouting, and then he put away the long knife. Zhao Heng's eyes flashed slightly, he didn't expect Kou Zhun to be a literati, but he could convince a fierce general like Lin Tianhu, and the person he was afraid of at the moment was not only Shen Guhong, but also a Kou Zhun.

Shen Guhong walked up to the main hall at this time, practicing ordinary Jianghu etiquette, he was wearing a cloud dragon battle armor, and his whole body exuded an aura of iron-blooded killing, intimidating everyone in the hall. The hall was silent for a while, and everyone held their breath and did not speak.

Zhao Heng's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "Gu Hong, Liao sent a letter, saying that he wanted to negotiate peace, I don't know what you think?"
