A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The person who came turned out to be Chen Zhongheng. While patting the snow on his body, he complained: "No one goes out in this weather. You are the only one who has a lot of trouble and is harmful to others."

"Bring some hot tea."

Shen An smiled and said, "If the snow keeps falling, everything will be fine in the palace."

"Nothing will happen. This weather is the most troubled. We have to clear the snow day and night. At least the roads must be cleared."

Chen Zhongheng sat down with a tangled look on his face, and then rubbed his butt a few times before he felt more comfortable.

Does this guy have hemorrhoids?

The chrysanthemums are broken and the buttocks are full of wounds...

Shen An suppressed the lyrics that came out of his mouth, and then asked with a smile: "But the official family has something to explain?"

Chen Zhongheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea. He sighed comfortably and said, "Jin Chengdao asked for an audience outside the palace. The officials did not see him, but what about you here? If Jin Chengdao makes a fuss, maybe he can suppress it?" "

He gradually became serious: "The official family has promised you to have great power. If you can't support it, the Liao and Xixia people will watch the fun."

"The Xixia people are coming?"

Shen An felt that the world was a little unexpected, "Isn't there any trouble?"

The Xixia people had their entire envoy killed by the Liao people. According to their behavior, the small conflicts between the two countries should be uninterrupted. How could they still think of sending an envoy?

Chen Zhongheng rubbed his face and said angrily: "The Xixia people just entered the city, and the Liao people didn't care if they got the news. However, Ouyang Xiu has already sent people to keep an eye on it. At least we can't let them kill another batch."

"Just kill him."

Shen An was thinking about how to fool the two countries again, but in the end he could only regretfully stop the idea.

Being killed by the Liao people again would be the most embarrassing thing for the Song Dynasty.

——You can’t even guarantee the safety of foreign missions, so what else can you be expected to do?

Chen Zhongheng said his intention.

"At the moment, the Liao and Xixia people in the city have an ambiguous attitude, but Jin Chengdao went directly to find the Liao people..."

Shen An looked at the snowflakes falling outside and said: "The grass on the wall is the grass on the wall after all, and the wind blows it down on both sides."

"Is this a hindrance?"

Shen An has now become the number one diplomat in the Song Dynasty, and even Zhao Zhen in the palace has to send people to ask his opinion.

Shen An shook his head and said: "It is not a good thing that the Song Dynasty values ​​​​face too much. Goryeo has always been ambitious. Temporary surrender is just the instinct of the weak to surrender to the strong, but it will not last long. Tell the officials, don't expect extravagant friendship between countries. .”

Chen Zhongheng nodded, "Jin Chengdao made a mistake in going to the Liao people. It just made the officials and ministers see the true nature of the Korean people. Okay, I will convey these words to the officials, but you have to be careful. .”

Shen An stood up and sent him out. Chen Zhongheng got on his horse, put on his bamboo hat, and said, "Liao and Xixia people are here, so you have to fight both ways."

Shen An waved his hand and watched him go away.

There was heavy snow, and everything that hit the eye was white.

In this white world, Xixia envoy Ye Lirong stood outside the embassy. He was not tall, but he was extremely strong.

He kicked the pillar and the snow fell to the ground.

"It's too small!"

The snow in Xixia is heavier than here.

But Xixia is desolate and cannot compare with the prosperity in front of you.

He turned around and glanced at his subordinates, and all he saw was curiosity and greed.

At the moment, ordinary people in Xixia are living a very miserable life. Once a snow disaster occurs, the whole country will have to tighten their belts to live a better life.

But such a life is not for people, so they will turn their attention outside.

The first choice is the various tribes in Tubo, but those tribes are also poor and cannot get much good things.

The best choice is naturally the Song Dynasty.

It's just that the Song Dynasty liked to play fort tactics and built villages and fortresses everywhere in the border areas. It took a lot of effort to defeat them, which was a bit tasteless.

So when the Xixia people were pushed hard, they even dared to bite the Liao people. They had done this a few years ago, but they only got blood on their faces in front of the Liao people, so they learned their lesson.

This is Duting West Station, and two streets across from it is the Liao Embassy.

Ye Lirong glanced over there, even though he only saw snowflakes, he was still furious.

"The Liao people are domineering. Let's go and have a look."

He led his men out of the post house in a swaggering manner, and the sergeants and officials in the post house did not dare or could do anything.

Some people rushed to report it to Ouyang Xiu, and some people rushed to report it to Shen An.

But no matter what Ouyang Xiu could do, he could only send people to keep an eye on it and pray that the two countries would not have another killing show.

If another mission is to die, no matter which side it is from, the Song Dynasty will probably not have an easy life next year.

"Liao people!"

"Xixia people!"

Standing on the high steps of the embassy, ​​Yelu Hongzhong looked down at Ye Lirong and said, "If you want to talk, let's talk. If you don't, then fight!"

"Then fight!"

Ye Lirong pulled out his long sword and pointed it at Yelu Hongzhong.

Both sides drew their swords one after another, and the Song troops watching on the side couldn't help but secretly groan.

A Du Yuhou was anxious and uneasy beside him. He wanted to bring people up several times, but he was afraid of causing a conflict, which would not be good when the time came. As a result, more than a hundred Song Dynasty cavalry had no choice but to freeze in the snow.

"Marquis, someone is coming."

Marquis Du Yu turned around and saw two cavalry approaching slowly.

"It's Shen Daizhao!"

When Shen An arrived, the tense situation in front of the Liao Embassy did not surprise him at all. He glanced at Ye Lirong and said, "This is the Song Dynasty. Last time I was caught off guard in Yujie, and today you still want to treat the Song Dynasty as a battlefield." ?"

Ye Lirong glanced at him and said, "Young official..."

His expression was contemptuous. It was obvious that in many battles in the northwest, the Xixia people had accumulated a psychological advantage over the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hongzhong stood under the eaves and said solemnly: "This is the Daliao Embassy."

Snowflakes gradually covered Shen An's body, and he said coldly: "Then let's go back each other!"

That Du Yuhou secretly complained in his heart, thinking that if you want to persuade me, you should do it well!

The Song Dynasty has long been accustomed to using money and smiles to open the way for foreign affairs, and has never thought of the third option.

That's why Shen An's words and deeds are so different.

Yelu Hongzhong sneered: "So what if you don't come back?"

The Liao people were used to being domineering. In their eyes, there was no one in the world who could stop them.

Shen An didn't dismount, he just waved to the back and said, "Then come down and give it a try!"

Du Yuhou saw his call and without hesitation, he led his cavalry forward and formed a formation behind Shen An.

When the people in Kaifeng Mansion saw this scene, their souls were almost frightened, and they immediately turned around and ran away.

This means a war between the Three Kingdoms!

Something happened, something big happened!

Yelu Hongzhong narrowed his eyes at Shen An and asked, "Who are you?"

He knew that once down the steps, the Xixia people were guaranteed to attack.

Who can win?

He felt that Daliao would not lose, but what did the Song people mean?

Is this a falling out?

"Deputy of the Privy Council of a certain Song Dynasty, Shen An."

"Shen waits for an edict..."

This is the first time Yelu Hongzhong meets Shen An.

This is also the first time I have seen such tough officials in the Song Dynasty.

Shen An raised his hand, then rode his horse slowly over.

Ye Lirong was staring at him, holding the handle of the knife tightly in his hand.

Shen An led the cavalry into the middle.

Isn't this guy afraid of being attacked from both sides?

The officials of the post house had already followed, and when they saw this, they felt that Shen An was too careless.

"go back!"

Shen An pointed to the door of the post house and said: "Go back and read a book www.uukaｎshu.net, otherwise Shen will personally send you in."

"you……"

Yelu Hongzhong wanted to say how dare you, but as he spoke, he remembered what had been said back home.

——The Song people want to join forces with the Xixia people!

Once this situation is formed, Daliao will probably never have peace again.

The Song army was restrained from the front, and the Xixia people came out from the diagonal stab...

Can you still live that day?

As an envoy, you must have a certain understanding of the overall situation, so when Yelu Hongzhong thought of this, he had many thoughts running through his mind.

He had been warned before coming here to keep an eye on the Xixia mission and not to retreat. As for any compensation or revenge that the Xixia people wanted, he should ignore it for the time being.

We can't act on impulse!

So he pointed at Ye Lirong and said: "This is the Xixia people's provocation."

The atmosphere suddenly changed and became much calmer.

The Liao people actually surrendered?

Marquis Du Yu felt that Shen An had done nothing, but Yelu Hongzhong relented...

This is unscientific!

"But last time you killed all the Xixia envoys!"

Shen An dropped a sentence that left Yelu Hongzhong speechless and unable to refute, then turned around on his horse and stared at Ye Lirong.

"Your Majesty is here for the first time, please go back and rest more."

Regarding the Xixia power, the DPRK and the Central Government had quite complicated views, and they were probably rebellious.

But Shen An comforted her softly, and in Yelu Hongzhong's ears, these were the words.

But what does Xixia people mean?

Ye Lirong glanced at Shen An, then turned around and said, "Let's go back."

The Xixia people have also become soft?

Yelu Hongzhong's expression became more solemn. He needed to immediately determine the future direction of the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Xixia people, so that he could provide it to the emperor in China who liked to run around the world as a reference.
