"The mountains and rivers are broken, and the affairs of the country are in ruins," Xiao Puxian said sadly: "I didn't expect that the country that had been built for two hundred years would be reduced to this point. Even if we don't blame others, when we think about this, we can't help but cry." Even Zhou Ping. I had made various psychological preparations before coming, but I didn't expect to encounter such an opponent, and I couldn't help but be confused, not knowing how to answer. Turning his eyes away to look at Yelu Chun on the couch and Li Chuwen beside him, he saw that the man was sleeping more and more soundly, as if he hadn't heard anything at all, while Li Chuwen lowered his head, looking like he was feeling the same, and it seemed that there was no hope. On. "The entire family fortune of our ancestors was ruined by Yelu Yanxi. In the end, he ran away and threw this huge burden on the shoulders of our couple. How could a weak woman in my family return home alone?" God, can you turn the tide?" At this point, Xiao Puxian had already lowered his head and started to cry softly. Zhou Ping looked at it and couldn't help but feel happy and miserable at the same time. What was happy was that Xiao Puxian had admitted that he had no way to save his life. It was only natural to accept Song Fang's conditions and surrender to the vassal. The rest was just a matter of specific conditions and details. , then it doesn¡¯t matter, anyway, it doesn¡¯t cost money to be ennobled. Even if you pay to raise all these Khitan relatives, it is much cheaper than fighting a war. No matter how poor the Song Dynasty is, it can still afford this little money. 7 Zhou Ping was wondering if he should say a few words of comfort. After all, it was not an option to make Xiao Puxian cry like this. Suddenly I heard a cry from outside. "Dashi Linya, Dashi Linya, you can't go in. Your Majesty is interviewing the envoy from the Song Dynasty. You can't go in!" "You two, get out of my way. This Yanjing is the Yanjing passed down from our ancestors. Jing. She is not alone, Xiao Puxian, get out of my way!" With a sound of pushing, the screen on the side was suddenly pushed to the ground, revealing a high-spirited man wearing a scarlet robe and a black sand crown. His right arm and waist were each held by a guard. He was looking at Li Chuwen behind Zhou Ping fiercely, and said in a hateful voice: "You are such a good man, I knew it was you who was playing tricks in the middle!" "Dashi Linya! You must have evidence for what you said!" Li Chuwen argued in a panic: "The two majesties are here, and the secret meeting with the Southern Dynasty envoy was decided at the imperial meeting. How can we blame it?" "Dashi Linya, Li's disciples are right." At this time, Xiao Puxian had calmed down and said in a deep voice: "This is your Majesty's intention. The situation is critical now. It is also necessary to interview the envoys of the Southern Dynasties!" Li Chuwen and Xiao Puxian People defended very hard. But Yelu Dashi didn't seem to hear it at all. He opened his arms, threw the two guards away, and walked to Zhou Ping step by step. Said: "You are the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, right?" "Yes, I am the deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty Zhou Ping!" Zhou Ping stood up and bowed his hands to the other party as a courtesy. He had guessed it from the names Li Chuwen and Xiao Puxian had just called the visitor. The person who came was Yelu Dashi, the hero of the last days of Daliao. He carefully looked at the other person, but was surprised to find that the other person seemed to be walking with a slight limp. "Deputy Envoy Zhou, let me tell you straight. This territory of Yanyun was won by our ancestors of the Liao Dynasty through hundreds of battles. Don't say that your two majesties will not surrender. Even if your two majesties surrender, I, Yelu Dashi, will surrender." They won't surrender, nor will the tens of thousands of nationalities in Yanjing City. You can take a message back for me and tell your emperor that if he wants this Yanyun land, he will rectify his army and see you on the battlefield!" , Yelu Dashi lifted up the hem of his robe, pulled hard, tore off a piece and threw it in front of Zhou Ping. When Zhou Ping heard this, he knew that there was no point in talking anymore, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, this Dashi Linya is here. It seems that we can only talk about it here, then we will meet again later!" Here, Xiao Puxian and Yelu Chun saluted behind Yelu Dashi, then turned around and left. Li Chuwen hurriedly followed, apologizing in a low voice without mentioning anything. The atmosphere in the palace was quite awkward. After about half an hour, Xiao Puxian said in a bitter voice: "What's the trouble with Dashi Linya? Our family just wants to contact the envoys of the Southern Dynasty. There are many ways out." "Multiple ways to escape?" Yelu Dashi asked, "What's the point of going to Bianliang City in the Southern Dynasties to become a concubine?" "Hey, it's better than staying here?" The city of Yanjing is in ruins. There are only tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, and there are only a few states in the country. How can we withstand the attack of the Southern Dynasty and the Jin people? Dashi Linya, even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about the tens of thousands in the city? Tribesmen, do you think about it?" "It is precisely because I want to think about my clansmen that I will never surrender to the Southern Dynasty!" Yelu Dashi replied decisively: "If we surrender like this, the Jin people will be fighting against the Song people. On the front line, we Khitans and Xi people cannot speak the same language as the Han people, and our habits are different. How can the Song people believe us? They will definitely move our people to other places. When the time comes to separate our flesh and blood and move to a foreign land, they just want to do it. It¡¯s too late to fight to the death!¡± "That is only a possibility, but now the Song army is imminent. Is there any way you can resist it?" "Your Majesty!" Yelu Dashi said: "Xiao Dutong has sent someone to deliver a letter. It will be within ten days at most. When he came back to recruit troops, the Xi people he recruited alone had 10,000 cavalry and infantry, plus the garrison in Yanjing City had no less than 50,000, which was enough to fight the Song army even if it was not considered a victorious army. The people are weak and have few cavalry, which makes it difficult to defend the city. As long as the enemy is defeated first, the enemy will be frightened. Even if they fail to win, they can move to another country. Wouldn't it be better to be a captive? Lowering her head, it is not difficult to see from her facial expression that she is in a very contradictory mood at this time. Instinctively, she does not like the strategy proposed by Yelu Dashi to go to war with the Southern Dynasties, win or move westward. The reason is very simple. Xiao Puxian is very Knowing the weakness of the small imperial court in Yanjing, if their years of savings allowed them to barely support themselves in terms of soldiers and military pay, then the confrontation with an army of 50,000 people supported by food and grass would definitely not last long. More importantly, Yelu Chun's rise to power was based on the balance of power among the Khitan Xi clan dignitaries, Han officials, the Yan clan, and the Changsheng Army. In other words, Yelv Chun is the only person in Yanjing who has a sufficiently noble status. , and can be accepted and trusted by these three parties. But Yelu Chun's life could not last long. If he died, this fragile balance would be broken, and the two powerful foreign enemies that were eyeing him would never give him a chance to regain his balance. As for moving to the west, there is no need to mention it. Although the Khitan nobles represented by Xiao Puxian often participated in the palace tours, they were already accustomed to the comfortable Chinese settled life, so they moved across the desert to a place with an uncertain future. It was really beyond her acceptance range. But rationally, Xiao Puxian had to admit that what Yelu Dashi said was quite reasonable. More importantly, her brother Xiao Qian was a resolute militant, and she had to take this into consideration. "It doesn't matter, once the inheritance passed down from our ancestors is lost, you are not the only one who will be sad!" Xiao Puxian sighed and stood up, and gently pulled the quilt that had fallen off for Yelu Chun who was lying on the soft couch: "But look at His Majesty's appearance, how can I not worry? If His Majesty is no longer here, will the tree fall and the hozens scatter?" "Your Majesty has a son, although he is young, he can follow the example and take charge of the country's affairs as the Empress Dowager! "Yel¨¹ Dashi replied. "Oh?" Xiao Puxian turned around, a pair of black eyes showing surprise: "Dashi Linya, do you think it's feasible?" "Yes, Emperor Jingzong passed away and Shengzong was young, so Emperor Chengtian Shengwu The Queen Mother is regent, the two armies of the Song Dynasty are defeated, and the country is at its peak. If your majesty has been here for a long time, why not? smiled. "Dashi is also a descendant of Taizu. This is a family matter. How dare you talk about hard work!" Yelu Dashi bowed to Xiao Puxian and turned around to retreat. Looking at the other party's back, Xiao Puxian turned around and walked to the soft couch to sit down, and whispered: "Your Majesty, what do you think should be done!" Yelu Chun, who had been lying on the couch, opened his eyes and replied after a moment: " Dashi Linya is a descendant of my Yelu family, so I have nothing to say about my loyalty. But if I want to gain a foothold in Yan, I cannot do without the Han people headed by Li Chuwen, and I must grasp the balance in between. It's a matter of ten months. You must prepare early!" "I understand!" Xiao Puxian lay on her husband's chest and cried softly. Yelu Chun sighed and reached out to gently stroke his wife's long hair. On the mule cart. "Deputy Envoy Zhou!" Li Chuwen explained with some embarrassment: "It must be that the palace guard has a confidant of Yelu Dashi, so the news came out. Please forgive me -" "That's it!" Zhou Ping said with a smile: "Dashi Forest Ya's position is different from mine, and I would be like this if I were in his position. His heart is the same as mine. I still understand this." At this point, Zhou Ping paused: "But the current situation is like this. Even if Dashi Linya is extremely heroic, what can he do? Fighting unyieldingly is a hero, isn't it also a hero to adapt to the situation? " "What you said is wonderful!" Li Chuwen said with a sincere smile on his face: " Our family is also for the people of Yan!" "Don't worry, Li family!" Zhou Ping said with a smile: "When I go back this time, I will definitely tell Prime Minister Xuan about my efforts. No matter whether the two sides reach a peace agreement or not, Prime Minister Xuan will never forget it. Thank you for your hard work!" "Thank you very much, Juncheng!" Li Chuwen laughed when he heard this. Zhou Ping returned to his residence. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't hold back his excitement. He got up and started pacing back and forth in the house. Although he did not achieve his goal of persuading Xiao Puxian to surrender without a fight this time, he did get a glimpse of the enemy's internal roots and gained real rewards.It's not small. Yelu Dashi's character is even more admirable. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
