Monument Yangmen

Chapter 755
"After many years, Huhou still looks the same."

The visitors Yingying stood in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, neither entering nor exiting.

Yang Qi slowly walked down the steps leaning on the chair, walked quickly to the visitor, bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a wry smile: "In front of you, how dare I call you a tiger..."

The person who came came smiled lightly, a bit of misery flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting, and then he smiled lightly and said: "You don't need to be too polite, the Huhou today is no longer the old Wuxia Ameng, so naturally he deserves a shout." Hu Hou's title."

Yang Qi made a gesture of invitation, personally invited someone to sit down, and hurriedly asked someone to serve tea.

Peng Pai offered two cups of fragrant tea. After Yang Qi sat down, holding the teacup, he said with emotion: "The Liao Kingdom can give up their money to let you come to my barracks in person. I really don't know what to say..."

After saying that, Yang Qi shook his head and smiled wryly with complicated thoughts.

The visitor took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile: "You don't have to be so troublesome. I came to your army's camp today as a relative, and I don't get involved in any state affairs. I just don't know if Huhou recognizes me or not." relative?"

Yang Qi was taken aback, and hesitated: "Then should I call you Empress Dowager Xiao? Or Aunt Xiao?"

The person who came was Xiao Zhuo, Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom.

Yang Qi never expected that this powerful woman in the Liao Kingdom would come to find Yang Qi for peace talks in person.

It's like a son of a daughter who suddenly transformed into a pawn.

It's hard to get used to it for a while.

No wonder when Peng Pai reported to him that there was an envoy coming to the peace talks, he kept eccentrically refusing to say who the envoy was.

Damn it, this kid Peng Pai has also learned badly, and dared to play tricks on himself.

When the war here is over, the boy Peng Pai must be assigned to Dongtou Island and let him accompany Luo Ye to become the owner of the island.

Yang Qi always felt weird in his heart, but Empress Dowager Xiao acted calmly.

It gives people the feeling that it's not like Empress Dowager Xiao came to Yang Qi's camp for peace talks, but it feels like Yang Qi went to Liao Kingdom's camp for peace talks.

Hearing Yang Qi's words, Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Of course you should call me Aunt Xiao, so that it looks close."

Empress Dowager Xiao has no airs of being a mother of a country at all, and her kind attitude is like an aunt next door.

Yang Qi frowned, and said with a faint smile: "Then... I'm afraid I will disappoint you. The Yang family no longer has Yang Yanhui, so it's inappropriate for me to call you auntie. I'd better call you Empress Xiao. The next thing to talk about is state affairs."

Yang Qi's words blocked Empress Dowager Xiao's idea of ​​playing the family card.

Empress Dowager Xiao was so pissed off, her face became a little embarrassed.

But after all, she is a person who has seen the big world, and she was only embarrassed for a moment, then smiled and said: "The Yang family no longer has Yang Yanhui, I naturally know this. Then I want to ask, is there no Yelusi in the Yang family?" ?”

The smile on Yang Qi's face froze, and he said in a neutral tone: "Since the name is Yelusi, it is naturally a member of the Yelu family, and has nothing to do with my Yang family."

This time, Empress Dowager Xiao not only didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled softly: "Huhou is so aggressive, isn't it afraid that Yelusi and his son will have a hard time in my Daliao territory in the future?"

Yang Qi's face darkened, and he secretly scolded Empress Dowager Xiao for being shameless.

Threatening him with Yelusi over and over again.

Yang Qi straightened his face and said in a cold voice: "The life and death of their father and son has nothing to do with me, Yang Yansi, or our Yang family. If the Empress Dowager wants to talk about peace, then she should put everything on the surface and say it again and again. Some outsiders are chatting with me, so don’t blame me for closing the door to see off customers.”

Suddenly, the smile on Empress Dowager Xiao's face became unnatural.

"Hey……"

Empress Dowager Xiao let out a long sigh, and said softly, "Why is Hu Hou so aggressive?"

Yang Qi looked at Empress Dowager Xiao with a half-smile, and said, "Isn't it the same way you treated Da Song back then?"

The expression on Empress Dowager Xiao's face froze, she knew that the play could not go on, so she could only make it clear that she would negotiate with Yang Qi.

"Since Huhou is so disregarding the relationship between us, I can only speak bluntly. According to Huhou's previous request, I, Daliao, can agree to temporarily hand over the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Huhou for safekeeping. But Huhou Hou must evacuate all the soldiers and horses in Shunzhou, and let us return to Shangjing."

Yang Qi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, he slowly picked up the teacup, and said leisurely: "Is the Queen Mother joking with me?"

He took a sip of the fragrant tea, put down the teacup, and said proudly: "Now, out of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, fifteen prefectures have fallen into my hands, leaving only one Shun prefecture, which is also heavily surrounded by me.

As long as I am willing, Shunzhou can be captured in an instant, maybe I can also capture the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, the King of Nanyuan of the Liao Kingdom, and you, the Queen Mother of the Liao Kingdom, as hostages.

It can be said that the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are already in my pocket. Don't you think it is unreasonable for you to be generous to others, Queen Mother? "

Regarding this matter, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't feel embarrassed at all, she said lightly: "Since Huhou was able to take down Shunzhou in one go, why didn't he make any moves after besieging Shunzhou for many days?"

Before Yang Qi could speak, Empress Dowager Xiao asked herself and answered: "The reason why Marquis Hu didn't make any move must be because he thought about it. Considering that my soldiers and horses in Daliao were trapped in the battle, they broke out their will to die and fought to the death.

There are still 30 soldiers in Daliao. Facing the siege of Huhou, although it is difficult to win, if we fight to the death, we may not be able to bite off a piece of meat from Huhou.

Is what I said right? "

Yang Qi looked at Empress Dowager Xiao, smiled and shook her head.

Empress Xiao subconsciously frowned, not understanding why Yang Qi shook her head.

Yang Qi said with a smile: "The ambition to enter the battle is that there is death but no life. This is terrible. But when it really comes, will your army have the strength to fight against my army?"

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard the words, her heart bulged, she opened her mouth and asked, "Did you know that our army's food and grass have been exhausted?"

As soon as these words were said, Empress Dowager Xiao realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and her eyes flickered.

Some things, even if you guess that the other party already knows, you can't say it clearly.

What if the other party doesn't know at all and makes a scam?
Yang Qi seemed to see what Empress Dowager Xiao was thinking. He smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. Not only do I know that your Liao army's food and grass have been exhausted, but I also know that you have already run out of food and grass in the territory of Daliao. gone."

Empress Dowager Xiao was finally not calm now, she gritted her teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Thousands of officials in my Daliao were assassinated, did you do it?"

Yang Qi smiled without saying a word.

Empress Dowager Xiao's heart sank all of a sudden, and if Yang Qi didn't speak, it meant she acquiesced.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Xiao felt a little pain in her heart.

If she had known that Yang Qi was responsible for this matter, why would she and Brother Yeluxiu be wary of Han Derang in secret, and be a villain in vain.

Seeing Yang Qi looking at her with a half-smile, Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly thought of a key point.

She opened her mouth wide, her phoenix eyes suddenly widened, and she lost her voice: "The price of my Daliao has soared..."

The smile on Yang Qi's face became wider.

He didn't hide it either, he nodded slightly and said, "That's right..."

"Puff~"

Empress Dowager Xiao slumped on the chair all of a sudden, as if she had been drained of strength.

She closed her eyes in pain.

Recalling the gradual collapse of all walks of life in Daliao due to the frequent rise and fall of prices in the past two years, Daliao's economy has plummeted, and tax revenue has been reduced by [-]% compared to before.

The people of Daliao, as well as some royal nobles such as her and the young emperor Yelu Longxu, all tightened their belts to live.

Originally thought that this was a test given by the heavens, but unexpectedly, all these things were actually arranged by Yang Qi behind the scenes.

The most important thing is that the source of all this seems to be traced back enough to a few years ago.

So, Yang Qi has been secretly plotting against Liao since a few years ago?

Even, Yang Qi was behind the battle between Song and Liao this time?

Was Song Guo's defeat in Yang Qi's expectation?

So not long after Song was defeated, the troops from the Southern Kingdom, who were thousands of miles away from Liao, arrived in time?
……

One pile, one piece.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that Yang Qi is behind him.

Yang Qi is like a mastermind behind the scenes, controlling everything and acting according to his own will.

The means are all-powerful, and ghosts and gods are unpredictable.

Are there really such people in the world?

Because Empress Dowager Xiao is well-informed and able to identify talents in the world, when she faced Yang Qi at this moment, she felt a little fear in her heart.

Such a person, who can be his opponent?

People like this descended from the sky, are they going to kill me in Daliao?
Looking at Yang Qi again, Empress Dowager Xiao had a bit of fear in her eyes.

To be able to calculate to such a degree, to be able to make such a far-reaching layout.

Empress Dowager Xiao searched all over Daliao, but couldn't find a single person who could compete with Yang Qi.

After being silent for a long time, Empress Dowager Xiao said bitterly: "Huhou is really a good method..."

Yang Qi didn't know that Empress Dowager Xiao had already thought of him as a person who could be compared to ghosts and gods in his heart. He looked at Empress Xiao and said cheerfully: "In order to regain Yanyun, it's just a trick that doesn't stand on the table. Compared with The empress dowager's great generosity, my meager knowledge is not worth mentioning."

Yang Qi's words full of humility, in the eyes of Empress Dowager Xiao, became the tiger's pity for the rabbit.

Empress Dowager Xiao took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I came here this time to calm the fighting between you and me. I don't know what kind of conditions Huhou needs to let me leave?"

Yang Qi was obviously taken aback when he heard the words, not understanding why Empress Dowager Xiao compromised so quickly.

However, since Empress Dowager Xiao subdued, Yang Qi felt embarrassed to chase after her fiercely.

Anyway, Yang Qi can be regarded as the number one talent in the literary world. He has been chasing and bullying a woman, and his reputation is not good if it spreads.

Moreover, it is best not to fight.

The will to fall into the battle, there is death but not life.

Today's Liao army is not the Liao army that had been wiped out at the end of the Liao Dynasty. They are now in their heyday.

If the 30 Liao army really fought to the death with the soldiers and horses under Yang Qi's command.

The soldiers and horses under Yang Qi's command also had to be injured.

The reason why Yang Qi besieged Shunzhou and did not attack was that he was waiting for the Liao army to run out of food and grass, and then there would be civil strife, so he could take advantage of the opportunity.

Now that Empress Dowager Xiao is willing to give up in advance, it is naturally a good thing.

It's just that Yang Qi didn't expect the Liao Dynasty to be subdued so quickly, and he didn't think about what conditions to offer for a while.

Yang Qi was secretly thinking about what kind of conditions he should make with the Liao Kingdom, and at the same time, he said indiscriminately from Empress Xiao, "Queen Mother, there is one thing I'm curious about..."

Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Tiger Marquis, but it doesn't matter..."

Yang Qi was puzzled and said: "Based on what I know about Yeluxiu, the great king of your country's Southern Academy, he is by no means the kind of person who likes to sit and wait for death. As you said before, your country's soldiers and horses are still capable.

If your country's soldiers and horses fought back to the water and bought life for your country, then there is no need for peace talks? "

Yang Qi's question was straightforward, and it could even be said that it was a bit pointing at the enemy.

It is also fortunate that Yang Qi is the head of the Northwest Four Mansions, and no one can manage him, otherwise he must be beaten to death.

After hearing Yang Qi's words, Empress Dowager Xiao smiled, but felt bitter in her heart.

The soldiers and horses of Daliao were once again powerful.

However, Yeluxiu, who is the commander in chief of the army, suffered internal injuries from Yang Qi's bombing. He is still recuperating on the couch, unable to continue commanding the battle.

And the other generals simply don't have the strength to support the current chaotic situation.

Even for things like peace talks, they couldn't pick a suitable candidate.

Originally, Han Derang was the most suitable candidate.

However, Han Derang had repeated peace talks outside Youzhou City, thinking he had played a trick on Yang Qi, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face soon.

This made him a little reluctant to see Yang Qi again.

In the end, the Empress Dowager Xiao was forced to go into battle shirtless.

Of course, no one dared to refuse if the Empress Dowager Xiao forcefully forced a certain courtier to come to peace talks.

It's just that when the peace talks were brought up, everyone hurriedly avoided the matter.

Empress Dowager Xiao felt a little unhappy, and thought of getting some bargains from Yang Qi with the family card before, so she also wanted to see Yang Qi again and play the family card again.

It's just that she didn't expect that Yang Qi would not accept the soft and hard, and just threw away the family card she played.

Closer to home, after hearing Yang Qi's words, Empress Dowager Xiao felt sad, but the smile on her face did not diminish, and she said: "Since Huhou knows that our army's food and grass have been exhausted, he naturally knows our difficulties."

After a pause, the Empress Dowager Xiao said with a half-smile: "Food and grass are scarce, even if it is bigger than Yue Yue's hands and eyes, it is difficult to support the war to continue. Besides, thanks to the gift of the Tiger Marquis, there are civil strife in our Daliao territory.

Don't end this war quickly, if it drags on, I'm afraid that I, Daliao, will be gone.

Besides, does Huhou want to see the tragedy of using human flesh as rations in our army? "

"Whoosh!"

Yang Qi suddenly stood up, his face livid, and he said hysterically: "You Liao army really dare to do this, I, Yang Yansi, can swear to God, I will let you Khitan exterminate!"

Why did the sentence of using human flesh as military rations cause Yang Qi's mood to fluctuate so much?
Based on the human tragedy that Yang Qi saw outside Fuxing Pass, if Liao Jun really ate himself, he should have a kind of heart-satisfying carefreeness, how could he be so furious?And make such a heavy oath?

　Thank you for the 580 Bashu coin reward for 'It's not rare to hurt the world and break love'!Thanks to 'PRLNGCE' for the reward of [-] book coins! (The second one may be later, I went out for something just now, sorry!)
