Chapter 991 The Second Han-Liao Peace Negotiation

"Please sit down!" Liu Chengyou smiled gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Husi bowed calmly.

Looking at his bearing, Liu Chengyou also had to admit that the Lord Liao indeed had a group of capable ministers, otherwise the Liao Kingdom would not have come out of all the chaos in just three years.It was not so easy to survive the severe injury back then.

"Time is flying!" Liu Chengyou exclaimed in a pretentious manner, and asked, "I don't know if the Lord of Liao has been safe all these years, and is it still easy to hunt? Three years ago, I originally wanted to hunt with him in Yinshan Mountain , Who would have thought that he hurried back to the north, but could not achieve it in the end, and I still regret it!"

Emperor Liu's words were sarcasm and sarcasm, a little mean, but Xiao Husi's attitude had already been lowered, how could he be annoyed by it now.Facing Liu Chengyou's gaze, he smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty will miss you! My son of heaven is strong and healthy, young and vigorous. He can drive tigers and wolves when he mounts a horse, and catch bears and leopards when he dismounts. If the former fails to meet with His Majesty, we will also It's a pity, if your majesty wants to take a look at the scenery beyond the Great Wall, you must clear the grass and clean the courtyard to welcome you. Although the Linhuang mansion is not as large and magnificent as Kaifeng, it is still enough to enshrine your royal family. At that time, your majesty can enjoy hunting with my son of heaven!"

Xiao Husi's answer was tough, without showing any timidity.Liu Chengyou was not angry about this, but looked at him with interest, and said with a light smile: "When I come to Huangfu, I will definitely call Liao Lord to serve as a hunter!"

Without waiting for Xiao Husi to answer, Liu Chengyou said again: "You have your own emperor, how can there be two days in this world?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are four seasons of sunshine in the world, and there are morning and evening suns, how can there be only two days?" Xiao Husi responded calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou was amused, and said to Lu Yin: "Look, the Liao envoy in the palace is quick in argument and clever in speech. How can he look like a vulgar Beidi Human?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the Central Plains. My Daliao is also a powerful country in the north. Now that a great country is here as an envoy, your Majesty has humiliated you like this. Is it against the courtesy of a great country?" For the first time, Xiao Husi became a little emotional, staring at Liu Chengyou, and questioned generously.

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou also put away the expression on his face, calmed down, and said in an unusually flat manner: "The Liao envoy came to Tokyo, what is the so-called? Probably not, it is just for the benefit of talking in front of me!"

When Emperor Liu showed such a serious attitude, Xiao Husi felt the pressure inexplicably, perhaps it was the effect of Emperor Han's long-simmering aura.Although the topic was brought up by the emperor, Xiao Husi didn't want to refute it, but stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I'm here on the order of the Emperor of Daliao, and I want to reconcile with China and do business with you." Passage, reaffirm the friendship between neighbors, eliminate disasters, and return peace to the people of the two countries, and they will be brothers forever!"

When Xiao Husi said these words, Liu Chengyou suddenly felt like laughing.He didn't believe this, and it is estimated that the person who said this didn't believe it very much.

However, facing Xiao Husi's calm face, Liu Chengyou's response was also very straightforward: "I have always been kind to people from afar. How can I refuse the idea of ​​fighting? A good relationship between the two countries, after all, is something that benefits millions of lives!"

Xiao Husi was also a little surprised by the attitude of Emperor Han. After these few days of avoiding him, he has an attitude just now. According to his expectation, if he wants to reach the goal of a peace agreement, there may be some setbacks and difficulties.Unexpectedly, Liu Chengyou agreed in a few words.

A look of joy flashed in his eyes, Xiao Husi bowed and bowed again, saying: "Your Majesty is really the Son of Heaven!"

Liu Chengyou smiled, no matter what country or nationality, flattery is common, and it is gratifying now.And at this moment, Xiao Husi, how could he see that he was neither humble nor overbearing just now?

"Lu Yin!" Liu Chengyou greeted.

"Chen is here!"

"You draw up an edict to inform the Guangzheng Palace of my intentions. As for the details of the relationship between the two countries, continue to discuss. The presiding minister, well, let Tao Gu be in charge!" Liu Chengyou ordered.

"Yes!"

After agreeing to this matter, the conversation between the two naturally became much more harmonious, so they simply moved to the prepared banquet room and chatted while eating.Liu Chengyou started again, asking about the affairs of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Emperor’s western tour, expressed regret for the death of Yelu Wuzhi, and expressed his willingness to send troops to help Kanping to express friendship with the internal rebellion.
Of course, Xiao Husi dealt with these things calmly, with a smile on his face, agreeing when he should, and not hesitating when he should decline.

"Lv Qing, do you think that the two countries, Han and Liao, have negotiated peace again, is this peace treaty reliable?" After entertaining Xiao Husi, Liu Chengyou was still interested and asked Lu Yin.

When asked, Lu Yin reported directly without thinking: "Your Majesty, I think it will definitely not last long!"

"Tell me your opinion!" Liu Chengyou didn't show any surprise, but stretched out his hand calmly to him.

Lu Yin organized his language a little bit, and then said: "The founding of the Han Dynasty lies in expelling Khitan. Your Majesty's fame in the world lies in the defeat of the Liao army and the recovery of Hebei. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has been constant discord between the Han and Liao. Border conflicts are almost the norm.

It was only when the Liao Lord Sulu succeeded to the throne that he eased up, but it was also due to helplessness. The big Han was busy with reforms and progress, and the separatist regime was flattened, and the Liao Kingdom also needed to recuperate due to civil strife and protracted war.

When its national strength gradually recovered, it was no longer stable, and it showed its fangs to China, so there was the Battle of Yanmen, which triggered the Northern Expedition and bloodshed in northern Xinjiang.Therefore, the Han and Liao dynasties have deep hatred and blood debts. The hundreds of thousands of bones buried by the two sides during the Northern Expedition alone cannot be eliminated in a short time.

Therefore, I thought that there would be another big battle between the Han and Liao Dynasties.Only by completely destroying the Liao Kingdom and making it lose its strength to fight against the imperial court, can the threat of the Great Han in the northern border be lifted, the northern border can be peaceful, and the struggle between the Han and Liao can come to an end! "

For Lu Yin, Liu Chengyou was more and more satisfied. What Lu Yin thought was exactly what he was thinking about. There were not many people in the court who could have such insights and opinions.In fact, even if there are enough good lessons, not everyone can learn from them. Since the Northern Expedition, there has been a voice in the court, that is, Yanyun has recovered, Khitan has fled to the north, and northern Xinjiang can be obtained. Tranquility, the great man only needs to unify the south, and he can calmly welcome the prosperous age of peace.
"Just now I received the Liao envoy, and you accompanied him all the way. From your point of view, what is the purpose of the Liao Kingdom's initiative to send an envoy to make friends?" Liu Chengyou looked a little more serious, and this was the only thing he cared about.

Regarding this, Lu Yin hesitated for a while, and thought for a while before saying to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, I am not sure. However, based on the many news I have received before, I can be bold. There may be changes in the Liao Kingdom!"

"Do you think it's aimed at the big man?" Liu Chengyou frowned slightly.

"I think it is unlikely!" Lu Yin was quite sure of this, and said: "One, if he wants to plot against me, with His Majesty's wisdom and Hanchen's dexterity, not only will he not be paralyzed by him, but he may be more vigilant; Two, after the bloody battles of the Northern Expedition, the Liao Kingdom was deeply damaged, almost endangering its rule, and it is definitely not possible to recover in just three years. If a war is rashly set off, with the defense lines of Yanshan, Shannan, and Hetao, the Han Dynasty can almost remain invincible place!"

"But, the change of party items!" Liu Chengyou pointed out the worry in his heart.

Lu Yin also thought about it for a while, but still shook his head: "The Dingnan Army is split now. If Li Guangrui dares to rebel and Wang Shi enters Xiazhou, it will be easy. The Khitan may use the Dingnan Army to mess with me, but they will never Act rashly!"

"Then tell me, what should be the actions of the Liao Kingdom?" Liu Chengyou nodded, still showing his composure.

Looking at the emperor, Lu Yin said: "Your Majesty, the envoy from the Liao Kingdom came to conclude the peace treaty, which reminded me of the first peace negotiation between the two sides in the fourth year of Qianyou. Then conquer Huainan in the south, so it is a country of brothers and will not interfere with each other.

This time, when His Majesty has settled the separatist regime and unified the world, he should seek stability in the north and concentrate on matters in the south.The Liao Kingdom may have the same thoughts! "

Lu Yin's words had the effect of waking up, and immediately walked to the larger and more detailed map of the big man in the hall, from east to west, looked at a series of forces around the big man, pondered for a long time, Suddenly said: "If Khitan wants to move, it must be in the Northwest, or Dangxiang, or Uighur, or the Western Regions. But if I want to choose a target, it must be the Western Regions!"

"Your Majesty is wise, it is very possible!" Lu Yin seemed to have just realized it, and immediately echoed.

After staring at the map for a long time, Liu Chengyou suddenly said: "From this point of view, the relationship between Han and Liao may become an unspoken situation again!"

Liu Chengyou was in a bad mood. Obviously, if the big man wants to rule the world, the Liao Kingdom will not be peaceful either.
