"The first diplomatic envoy since the Song Dynasty?"

Ma Kuo really didn't expect that Li Yan would give him such a high evaluation.

While being surprised, Ma Kuo couldn't help being a little happy, "Having such a high evaluation from Li Yan, my reputation must have greatly increased, or it may not be that I will be reused by officials."

However, Ma Kuo quickly suppressed his surprise and joy, and said, "The governor is absurdly praised. Da Song is stronger than Ma Kuo, and there are more than ten million people."

Li Yan said: "Relax, you are not here as an envoy this time, if so, I will not see you either, so don't take this conversation between you and me seriously, I just chat with you casually chat."

Ma Kuo hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know why the governor wanted to chat with this subordinate?"

Li Yan said: "You have been to the Kingdom of Jin, you have seen Wanyan Aguda, you have been to the Kingdom of Liao, you have met Yeluchun, and now you have come to my cloud land and met me. You are from the Song Dynasty, even if you have never met Zhao Ji, also……"

Ma Kuo said: "Governor, please be careful and don't overstep!"

Li Yan was startled when he heard this, then he smiled "haha" and said, "Chao Yue? Am I a Song official? Does Zhao Ji regard me as a Song official? Gao Qi, Shi Jiedu, and Zhang Shuye are still attacking me now." Liangshanpo, right?"

Ma Kuo didn't argue, but said, "At least in name, you are still a Song minister."

Li Yandao: "It's just a name. I want to change it. I can change it at any time. Come and see, what are they?"

While saying this, Li Yanyi pointed to the two Chuan Guo Yuxi on his table.

Ma Kuo had never seen the Chuan Guo Yuxi, and didn't think about the Chuan Guo Yuxi for a while, so he was puzzled: "They are?"

Li Yandao: "Chuan Guo Yuxi."

Ma Kuo was startled for a moment, then looked at the two Chuanguo jade seals and said, "There is only one Chuanguo jade seal, and it is in the hands of His Majesty the Great Song Emperor."

Ma Kuo almost said, "Your two imperial seals are all fake."

Li Yan glanced at Ma Kuo, then pointed to the Chuan Guo Yuxi on the left side, and said, "I'm not sure whether they are real or not, anyway, this side is Zhao Ji's side."

Ma Kuo's eyes showed disbelief.

When Li Yan saw it, he said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhao Ji if I got the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom from him seven years ago. I think he is the king of a country anyway, so he shouldn't be concerned about such trivial matters." lie."

Hearing what Li Yan said, Ma Kuo's heart tightened - Ma Kuo felt that with Li Yan's current status, he shouldn't lie about this matter, but how is this possible?How could the official family's imperial jade seal be in Li Yan's hands?

Li Yan didn't explain any more, but pointed to the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom on the right side again, and said: "This is the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, if I want to ascend the throne as emperor, I can do it at any time. Taking a step back, even if I don’t have these things, if I want to ascend the throne, who will Can you still stop me?"

A ready-made example is right in front of you. When the Jurchens founded the country, there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses. In the end, they were also recognized by Song, Liao, and Koryo. The key is strength.

Ma Kuo understood this truth, but he still couldn't help persuading him: "General Governor, if you are willing to assist the officials, this world will belong to the Han people!"

Li Yan said bluntly: "Zhao Ji spent hundreds of millions of dollars and countless manpower to build Genyue, and even turned the central forbidden army that helped Zhao Kuangyin conquer the world into an army of craftsmen, making the huge Song State armyless and moneyless. If Zhao Ji hadn't So extravagant and wanting to ruin disasters recklessly, using hundreds of millions of money to recruit soldiers and train soldiers, with the current situation, with the background of several generations of the Song Dynasty, why not regain this little Yanyun Sixteen States? It is said that as soon as Tong Guan helped Zhao Ji put down the Fangla Rebellion on his front foot, Zhao Ji on his back foot reinstated the father and son of Zhu Shi who caused the Fang La Rebellion and continued to search for strange stones from all over the world for him. It was also because Zhu Wei helped him find a giant Taihu Lake stone that was four feet high. And when Zhu Mian was named Weiyuan Jiedushi, that stone was also named Pan Guhou by him. How can such a licentious and dishonorable eternal emperor deserve me, Li Yan, to work for him?"

Ma Kuo is very eloquent, but he really couldn't defend Zhao Ji about the few things Li Yan said, he could only say: "Great Governor, you can't look at the face of the Han people in the world..."

Li Yan interrupted Ma Kuo and said, "Even if I gave the land of Yun and Baoyan to Zhao Ji, he would not be able to keep it because of his stupidity. Therefore, for the sake of the Han people in the world, I can't give him Yanyun. "

Ma Kuo wanted to say something more, but Li Yan was no longer interested in talking to Ma Kuo who was still loyal to Song Guo.

Just at this time, the servant came in and reported: "Report to the Governor, General Han Shizhong to see you."

Li Yan said: "It's quite fast, an hour faster than Shi Xiu guessed." Then he said to the servant: "Tell him to come in."

The servant went out to call Han Shizhong, Li Yan turned to Ma Kuo and said, "It happens that you are here, so I'll let you see how useless Zhao Ji and Tong Guan's tricks are for me."

Ma Kuo's heart tightened, and he thought: "Could it be that none of the twenty groups succeeded? How is it possible?"

Not long after, Han Shizhong entered the Hall of Great Harmony, bowed to the ground, and said, "I am here to apologize!"

Li Yanming knew why and asked, "What is your crime?"

Han Shizhong said: "Song Guo sent Wei Chen's elder brother and a group of seven people to say that Wei Chen led the troops to join forces, and Wei Chen immediately beheaded the heads of the six people accompanying him. As for my brother, Wei Chen really couldn't do anything, so I sent him He was kidnapped and handed over to the Governor, whether the Governor wants to kill him or cut him, I will never complain!"

Li Yan looked at Han Shizhong with a smile and scolded: "You are still playing this narrow-minded with me. If you really want your brother to die, can you send him here?"

Han Shizhong smiled awkwardly, and then said: "My minister was ineffective before, and it was all thanks to my brother's protection..."

Li Yan said: "Okay, turn around and ask him if he wants to stay with us or go back. If he wants to stay with us, I will let Zhao Ding arrange it according to his ability. If he wants to go back, I will reward him more." Gold and silver."

Han Shizhong said happily: "Thank you, Commander."

Li Yandao: "Go to Piandian to look for Liu Qi. After resting, go back, and then pay close attention to Yanjing's dynamics. If there is a chance to seize Juyongguan and Zijingguan, you must act decisively."

Han Shizhong bowed: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, Han Shizhong went down.

Although Li Yan and Han Shizhong only said a few words, Ma Kuo could still see the closeness of the pair of monarchs and ministers, and also saw that the relationship between them was unbreakable.

Han Shizhong was just the beginning, and then Wu Jie, Wang Yan, Cheng Min, Xie Yuan, Wang Sheng, Yue Chao, Chen Jue, Hu Yantong, Yang Zheng, Guo Hao, Yang Congyi, Wang Jun, Yang Congyi, Wang Quan, Liu Bao, Xu Shian, Both Dong Min and Wang Shu tied up the envoys sent by the Song Dynasty or brought their heads directly to plead guilty. Only Liu Ziyu brought Liu Kai's entourage to plead guilty.

Ma Kuo was terrified to see it!
Compared with the other [-] groups of people who persuaded them to surrender, his life was almost the best. Among them, more than half of them were wiped out by righteousness, and those who were not killed by righteousness all walked in the palace of the king of hell!
Although Ma Kuo is not afraid of death, he can't help but feel a little scared.

In the evening, Li Yan pointed to a large pile of heads and said to Ma Kuo: "The 21 groups of people sent by you Song to persuade them to surrender, including your group, there are [-] groups in total, and they are all here now."

That's right.

Except for some relatives and friends of the generals who the generals wanted to protect, the other people who were sent to persuade them to surrender were all beheaded by Li Yan.

The fuck has come to poach Lao Tzu's corner, how can Lao Tzu save your life?

Ma Kuo's heart was overwhelmed!

He really didn't expect that none of the 21 groups of people who recruited to surrender succeeded, or in other words, he really didn't expect that the Liangshan Army was so united and invulnerable!
After secretly comparing, he found sadly that Zhao Ji, his official family, was far inferior to Li Yan in terms of Wenzhi, martial arts, and the degree of love by his subordinates!
More importantly, he has already determined that Li Yan will undoubtedly rebel, and it is very likely that he will become emperor in the near future, perhaps after Li Yan occupies the entire territory of Yandi!
He felt that their Da Song might be finished, and it was in Li Yan's hands!
He wanted to prevent this from happening, but he found that he didn't have the ability at all...
