Chapter 264 The Ecstatic Zhao Emperor His Majesty

When Li Xuan saw Yelu Hongji's letter and will, his face showed ecstasy.

"General, we really did it, the Liao people are going to withdraw their troops and talk about peace."

Qin Guandao: "What do you think we should do next?"

"Hurry up and write to your majesty, I guess your majesty has been praying for this news." Li Xuan said immediately.

In fact, Qin Guan already thought that Li Xuan would say that.

As for continuing to fight, destroying the Liao Kingdom or even occupying the entire territory of the Liao Kingdom, this matter is not that simple.

Simply speaking, with the 4 people in his hands, it is really impossible to destroy a country. If it is not a sneak attack, and he has means beyond this era, how could he hit Zhongjing.

Even if they occupy the Liao Kingdom, they may not be able to rule them.

Think about future generations, how many places Hitler occupied, but in the end he failed, which country and nation did he really destroy.

Peace talks are indeed the best outcome now.

Qin Guan said: "Then write a letter to His Majesty and explain the whole thing clearly."

Li Xuan immediately summoned someone who specialized in making secret letters, and wrote letters to the emperor in Qin Guan's room. Qin Guan saw how to write secret letters for the first time, and was very curious. He found that writing secret letters used a special The paper is very delicate and light, and the written characters are also very small, smaller than a corn grain. It is densely packed and can write a lot, and many of the characters are replaced by symbols that he does not know. If an ordinary person sees this Even if you can read a letter, you may not be able to understand the meaning inside.

The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

Li Xuan explained to Qin Guan beside him,

In the secret letter, all the battles since the analysis of Tianjin Mansion were written. They attacked the defenders of the Liao Kingdom on the Great Wall, wiped out [-] enemies, captured Bei'an Prefecture, wiped out [-] enemies, and wiped out the [-] Yulin Army led by Yelushi on the grassland. , captured Zezhou, wiped out [-] enemies, captured Luming Mountain Pass, wiped out [-] enemies and captured Liao soldiers, captured Yuzhou City, wiped out [-] enemies, and now captured Dadingfu, the capital of Liao Kingdom, Daozong of Liao Kingdom Emperor Yelu Hongji fled to Shangjing and captured dozens of members of the royal family and a group of Liao ministers.

Then he wrote that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom asked for peace and wanted to start peace talks. The two countries stopped the war and asked the emperor for his opinion.

A total of two copies were written.

After writing, Qin Guan and Li Xuan used seals at the same time, then stuffed the secret letter into a prepared bamboo tube, sealed both ends with wax to prevent rain and moisture, tied the secret letter to the legs of the pigeons, and fed it with water and rice. The two homing pigeons were released.

Looking at the carrier pigeon disappearing into the sky, Li Xuan put his hands together and murmured, "Be sure to deliver the letter to Jinling City safely."

Three days later, Jinling Imperial City.

Li Chaoen walked quickly as if flying to the apse, with a look of excitement on his face, when some young eunuchs saw Li Chaoen running so fast, they all murmured in their hearts, fearing that something big would happen again.

As soon as he entered the emperor's study, Li Chaoen said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I am overjoyed that Qin Guan finally wrote."

When the emperor heard that it was Qin Guan's letter, he immediately said, "How is Qin Guan doing now?"

"Your Majesty, Qin Guan won a great victory and occupied Zhongjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom. Yelu Hongji fled to Shangjing, and now he is actively seeking peace. Congratulations, Your Majesty, the domestic crisis can finally be resolved."

With that said, he hurriedly handed over the secret letter transcribed in his hand to the emperor.

The emperor took the letter excitedly, looked at it at a glance, and after reading it, he suddenly burst out laughing, and his voice was heard far and wide.

"Chaoen, I want to reward Qin Guan, a big reward."

The emperor said happily.

Li Chaoen said with a smile: "Such achievements should indeed be rewarded, but your majesty, Qin Guan is still waiting for your majesty's decision. Your majesty made a decision earlier, and those Liao people also withdrew their troops earlier."

"Yes, yes, immediately call all the officials to the court to discuss the peace talks."

Whether Qin Guanxin said peace talks or continue to attack Shangjing is up to His Majesty to decide.

Well, His Majesty the Emperor seems to have made a decision.

Peace talks are already his greatest expectation.

The officials were summoned urgently. The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a smile on his face, holding the transcribed secret letter, and said to the officials: "My dear friends, I just received a letter from Zhenyuan General Qin Guan. According to the secret letter, General Zhenyuan broke through Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, Liao Kingdom, Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao Kingdom fled to Shangjing, Qin Guan captured all the officials including Liao Kingdom Left Prime Minister Yelu Longyun, as well as Yelu Hongji's prince, princess and concubine concubine."

Hearing this news, the people below immediately became overwhelmed, and many couldn't help but exclaim.

But this is the main hall, and the exclamation quickly subsided.

The emperor didn't think so, and when they stopped, he continued to say with a smile: "Now Yelu Hongji is going to suspend his troops and strike, and ask our great Zhao country for peace. Qin Guan sent a letter asking for my opinion. Dear friends, you say that it is time to let Qin Guan continues to attack Shangjing, or agree to Yelu Hongji's request for peace."

Everyone can see that the emperor is taking advantage of it.

Such a big victory can be said to have never been seen since the founding of the Great Zhao. The Liao Kingdom invaded the capital of Jinling, which was in danger. Now that there is a sudden surprise, the Liao Kingdom seeks peace, and the emperor is naturally extremely happy.

In fact, some sane people know that it is not suitable to continue fighting now. Liao's 40 troops are still in Zhao's territory.

If the people of the Liao Kingdom are ruthless and cross the Yangtze River to attack Jinling, there is no place in the south of the Yangtze River that cannot be defended, and the Great Zhao Kingdom is also very dangerous.

No one dared to gamble on this matter.

Shen Zheng is considered to be the main combat faction, but Shen Zheng was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that since the Liao Kingdom has taken the initiative to seek peace, we can give them this opportunity for peace talks."

Zeng Yu also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that there should be peace talks."

"The minister thinks there should be peace talks."

"Peace talks."

"Peace talks."

Almost all the ministers of Zhao State supported the peace talks with one voice. The emperor actually meant peace talks, because this battle was indeed too dangerous.

"Since it's a peace talk, it's better for you to see who to send to the peace talk."

At this moment, Zeng Yu stood up and said: "This is a big matter. I feel that an important minister should be sent there. I recommend Lu Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to preside over the peace talks."

When Lu Sheng heard Mr. Zeng mentioning himself, he was both happy and worried. He was happy that he went to the peace talks. After success, it must be a great achievement. He hoped to join the cabinet in the future. What worried him was that the journey would be too difficult. Yes, but a chore.

"Yes." The emperor nodded in agreement.

For such a big matter, it really needs an important minister. The Ministry of Etiquette is in charge of diplomacy, and it is better for the Ministry of Rituals to let the director of the host and guest, who is similar to the director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in later generations. He can't be the master of many things.
