Chapter 722 Peace talks?peace talks!
"Want to know?"

"Ok!"

"Hey...don't tell you."

After teasing Zhao Defang for a while, Yang Qi left him alone in a daze, and took the initiative to greet Zhao Pu who had just come out of the room.

Yang Qi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhao..."

Zhao Pu's expression was ugly, seeing Yang Qi salute him, he hurriedly returned the salute, "Huhou..."

"How is your majesty?"

"Not so good..."

With a bitter face, Zhao Pu looked around, lowered his voice and approached Yang Qi's ear, and said, "That arrow not only pierced His Majesty's buttocks, but also hurt deeper bones. Although the imperial doctor helped His Majesty The arrow was drawn, but His Majesty could not move.

The imperial doctor said that His Majesty needs to rest and not move around, otherwise he will have to lie in bed for the rest of his life..."

"Wouldn't that be a paralytic?"

Yang Qi spoke subconsciously.

Zhao Pu glanced at him resentfully.

Yang Qi smiled dryly, "I made a slip of the tongue..."

Zhao Pu sighed helplessly, and said, "Huhou, I have something important to discuss with you..."

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty is injured now, so don't move too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Tongtai Pass. Outside the Tongtai Pass, the Liao people are pressing hard at every step. It may be difficult for the dude soldiers led by Privy Councilor Cao to resist.

General Shi was robbed at Yuguan, and it is unclear whether he will be able to escape the siege for a while.

Although there are quite a few Xiangyongs near Zhending Mansion, it is obviously unreliable to rely on them to deal with the Liao people.

The only thing the court can rely on now is you, Hu Hou.

I don't know if Huhou can mobilize elite soldiers and horses from the four northwestern prefectures to rush to support Tongtai Pass. "

Zhao Pu looked at Yang Qi's face while talking tentatively.

Hearing this, Yang Qi just raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Pu, but didn't speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Pu hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "If Huhou can save His Majesty from danger, I believe His Majesty will not treat Huhou badly."

Yang Qi pretended to think for a while, then clicked his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhao, you should be clear that the four prefectures in the northwest are hundreds of miles away, even if I dispatch troops now, when the troops arrive, they will arrive Ten days later.

Do you think my father-in-law can last more than ten days with this group of dude soldiers? "

Zhao Pu was taken aback for a moment, and his brows were deeply wrinkled.

After a long while, he looked at Yang Qi and said, "What's the best strategy for Marquis Hu?"

Yang Qi looked towards the north of Tongtai Pass, and could faintly hear the shouts and curses of the Liao people. He said, "What does Prime Minister Zhao think of the current behavior of the Liao people?"

"What did the Liao people do?"

"Yes! Liao's hundreds of thousands of troops approached Tongtai Pass. They could have stormed down at once, but now they are besieging and not attacking. What do you think they are thinking?"

Hearing Yang Qi's reminder, Zhao Pu fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head, looked at Yang Qi in astonishment and said, "You mean, the people of Liao want peace talks?"

Yang Qi shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the Liao people are waiting for you to take the initiative to seek peace talks with them."

Zhao Pu frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Now that the Liao people have all the advantages, why do they still want to talk about peace?"

Yang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know either. I just see that the Liao people are besieging and not attacking. It probably means peace talks. Besides, no matter whether the Liao people have peace talks or not, we have to find a way to release them." Goodwill, go to peace talks."

Zhao Pu is a smart person, so he naturally understood the meaning of Yang Qi's words.

For them, what they lack the most is time.

The longer the delay, the better for them.

If they could wait until the domestic reinforcements and Yang Qixi's reinforcements arrived, then they would have no fear of the Liao Kingdom.

"The old man understands, and the old man will go to His Majesty to discuss this matter."

Zhao Pu nodded, turned around and returned to the room.

Not long after, Zhao Pu came out of the room again, with a long-lost look of joy on his face.

"His Majesty agreed to go to the peace talks. He appointed the old man as the envoy and you as the deputy envoy."

Yang Qi shook his head resolutely when he heard the words, "No!"

Zhao Pu was stunned and said, "Why?"

Yang Qi said cheekily: "Afraid of death!"

Now that the Liao people have all the advantages, the peace talks will continue, and the initiative is entirely in the hands of the Liao people.

If the Liao people first agreed to the peace talks, and then suddenly turned against each other during the peace talks, wouldn't Yang Qi want to be buried with Zhao Pu?
Yang Qi knows how many bad things he has done.

Don't look at Empress Dowager Xiao frequently writing letters to Yang Qi to show her closeness, brother Yeluxiu frequently praised Yang Qiyuan's excellence beyond ordinary people in front of people.

In fact, although these two people didn't hate Yang Qi as deeply as Zhao Guangyi, once they got the chance, they would definitely not mind sending Yang Qi to serve their god in Changshengtian.

Zhao Pu didn't know what Yang Qi was thinking, but seeing that Yang Qi refused decisively, he knew that Yang Qi had already made up his mind, and it was useless to persuade him.

"Hey……"

Zhao Pu sighed, and said helplessly: "Then the old man will talk to His Majesty again..."

Yang Qi had his own ideas in mind, and Zhao Pu also had his own ideas in mind.

In fact, it was Zhao Pu who proposed Yang Qi as the deputy envoy for the peace talks.

The reason why Zhao Pu chose Yang Qi as deputy envoy was to use Yang Qi's prestige and the relationship between Yang Jiashiro and the Liao Kingdom to create a favorable negotiation situation for the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, he also valued Yang Qi's force.

Judging from the few times Yang Qi was in the palace in Youzhou City, if there is any danger, Yang Qi is the most confident person who can lead him out.

Of course, if he knew that Yang Qi had gone to the capital before and had offended the dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom, he probably would not have elected Yang Qi as deputy envoy even if he was beaten to death.

Zhao Pu went into the room again to discuss with Zhao Guangyi.

After a while, when Zhao Pu came out again, he went to express his goodwill to the Liao Kingdom, and the principal and deputy envoys for the peace talks were also decided.

The envoy Zhao Pu, the deputy envoy Li Hang, and Li Jilong served as the guards.

Before leaving, Zhao Pu repeatedly told Yang Qi to take good care of Zhao Guangyi, and if he died in the hands of the Liao people, let Yang Qi and Cao Bin stick to Tongtai Pass.

Yang Qi readily agreed.

Three people, leading a ten-man guard, opened the city gate and faced the Liao army outside the city.

Facts have proved that weak countries have no diplomacy.

When you are tyrannical, even a small soldier under your command will be treated with high standards of courtesy when he arrives in another country.

But when you are weak, even if you are the prime minister of a country, you will be humiliated.

The Liao army seems to like to humiliate the Song people.

From the moment Zhao Pu and his party left the city, all kinds of insults from the Liao army continued, and they never stopped.

If it weren't for the frequent diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the Liao army knew the reason not to kill envoys, they might be chopped into meat sauce if they left the city gate.

Zhao Pu and his party went through the most difficult part of their life. After several hardships, they finally arrived at the central tent of the Liao Army.

After they were stripped of their weapons, they were brought into the tent of the Chinese army.

After entering the main tent of the Chinese army, they were obviously a little dazed.

Inside the Chinese army tent.

There are six people.

The Great King of the South Court of Liao Kingdom, sitting at the head of the left hand side of the Chinese army tent, was playing with a scimitar inlaid with precious stones in his hand, looking at Zhao Pu and the other three with half-smiles.

Sitting on the main seat in the middle was a middle-aged woman wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe. Beside her was a young man who was trying to put on a serious face. On the couch where the two of them were sitting, there was a The little guy about [-] years old was rolling and crawling.

The two maids carefully waited on the little guy who was crawling around on the couch.

Zhao Pu recognized the identities of the two sitting at the main seat at a glance. He did not expect the Empress Dowager of Liao Kingdom and the Emperor of Liao Kingdom to appear here. His Majesty the Emperor."

Li Hang and Li Jilong also followed suit.

As soon as they straightened up, they heard brother Yeluxiu say indifferently: "Are you blind, or can't you see this king?"

Zhao Pu smiled awkwardly, and bowed again, "See King of the South Court of Liao Kingdom."

"Humph!"

Brother Yeluxiu snorted dissatisfiedly, "This king is now bigger than Yue in Daliao."

Yu Yue is the highest rank among the official ranks of the Liao Kingdom, ranking above all officials, including other royal families and descendants.

In the Liao Kingdom, Yu Yue's official position was also known as the first official under the emperor.

It will never be conferred lightly if it is not an unrivaled meritorious service.

Obviously, Brother Yeluxiu killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Song Dynasty by virtue of this plan, and took Yu Yue's position.

Obviously he climbed up by stepping on the bones of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu couldn't help smiling at them, bowed and said: "See Liao Kingdom is greater than Yue."

Just as she stood up straight, before standing upright, a childish voice sounded.

"You haven't saluted my little nephew yet."

Although the little emperor Yelu Longxu was not yet a qualified emperor, he was definitely a qualified uncle.

Although his little nephew doesn't know anything yet, as an uncle, he takes good care of his little nephew's face.

Hearing this, Zhao Pu looked at the little guy who was crawling around on the couch, climbed to the edge of the couch, lying on his back, shaking his little bird and spraying water, his face flushed slightly.

"Empress Xiao, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom, is greater than Yue, and I am an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty. Even if I am defeated by the Great Song Dynasty this time, I will not insult you..."

As a half-literate person, Zhao Pu is still very upright.

Brother Yeluxiu grinned, but did not speak.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly and looked at the little emperor.

The little emperor said with a straight face, "You must salute my nephew, otherwise...or I will let Brother Xiu and Uncle Huang beat you."

The smile on Yeluxiu's face became even stronger, he beat his chest with one hand very cooperatively, and said: "I will definitely help His Majesty teach them..."

Zhao Pu's face became even uglier.

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't stand it any longer, she rolled her eyes at Brother Yeluxiu who was messing around with the little emperor, and said to Zhao Pu majesticly: "It is not an insult to you to ask you to salute my little grandson.

Don't look down on my little grandson because he is young. Although he is only over one year old, he is already a prince of my Daliao. "

Zhao Pu was obviously taken aback.

The one-year-old Wang Jue?
Or the emperor's nephew?
A Wang with a different surname who is more than one year old?

What is the origin of this little guy?
Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to see Zhao Pu's thoughts, she smiled calmly and said, "My emperor's son is in charge, and I have already given my little grandson the surname Yelu. By the way... my little grandson used to be named Yang."

"Sigh~"

Zhao Pu gasped.

He remembered what Yang Qi had said before outside Youzhou City.

The relationship between the Yang family and the Liao country is really deep!

Could it be that the Yang family had defected to the Liao Kingdom a long time ago?

So the defeat of Shuncheng was planned by Yang Qi secretly with the Liao Kingdom?

As soon as this thought arose in Zhao Pu's head, he was quickly strangled to death by Zhao Pu.

He secretly glanced at Empress Dowager Xiao, sighing in his heart.

What a powerful distance meter!
You know, Yang Qi is now one of their biggest reliance.

Once he believed what Empress Dowager Xiao said, he and Yang Qi got into a stalemate.

Then their end, I'm afraid it will be very miserable.

Having figured out Empress Dowager Xiao's intentions, Zhao Pule laughed and said, "I never thought that this little prince would actually have a relationship with the Yang family. No wonder he is a prince at such a young age."

Zhao Pu saluted indifferently and said, "See the little prince."

Empress Dowager Xiao failed, she and Brother Yeluxiu looked at each other, and they both looked at Zhao Pu at the same time.

This old man is really hard to deal with!

He deserves to be the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty.

He could see through their plot at a glance.

Empress Dowager Xiao stared at Zhao Pu for a long time, then said with a smile, "Do you want peace talks?"

Zhao Pu nodded solemnly, "Song and Liao fought fiercely for more than a month, involving millions of soldiers and people, and countless casualties during the period. My Majesty the Emperor of Song, with a benevolent heart, is willing to make peace with your country , and return the common people to a bright future."

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said: "I, Daliao, did not provoke this war first, it was you Song State who provoked this war. Now it is your Song State who wants to make peace.

Fight if you want, make peace if you want, do you really think that I, Daliao, are made of mud?

Besides, now that I, Daliao, have the upper hand, why should I negotiate peace with you? "

Brother Yeluxiu was very cooperative and said: "Peace talks? Why is there a peace talk? In the battle of Shuncheng, the elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty were wiped out, and now only some old, weak, sick and disabled are left.

And this king has hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry, who can break through the gate of the Central Plains at any time and enter your Song Kingdom. "

When it came to the Battle of Shuncheng, Li Jilong behind Zhao Pu clenched his fists and almost jumped out to fight Yeluxiu.

It can be said that Brother Yeluxiu not only killed hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty by virtue of the battle in Shuncheng, but also killed Li Jilong's official career.

If Li Jilong couldn't move back from Brother Yeluxiu's hands in this life, not only would he have to bear a lifetime of infamy, but the entire Li family would suffer as well.

Li Hang seemed to have noticed that Li Jilong had desperate thoughts, and tugged at his sleeves.

Zhao Pu, who had his back to them, couldn't see this scene.

Hearing Brother Yeluxiu's arrogant words, Zhao Pu said indifferently: "My lord's words are wrong. In the battle of Shuncheng, although hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our Great Song Dynasty died tragically. But the lord's desire to rule our Great Song Dynasty is purely a dream.

The population of my Great Song Dynasty is 4000 million, and the soldiers and horses from all over the country add up to more than 200 million.

Once the prince leads troops to invade the Great Song Dynasty, not only the 200 million soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty will rise up to resist, but also the 4000 million people of the Great Song Dynasty will also resist.

I don't know what method the prince is going to use to deal with the 4000 million people in Song Dynasty? "

Brother Yeluxiu sneered and said, "If you dare to block the king, you will be killed without mercy."

Zhao Pu said unceremoniously: "Can you finish killing?"
