The sun sets and the moon rises, and the heavens and the earth are dark. By this time, the hunting procession had finally stopped, and soon a bonfire was lit up in the dark wilderness, and the flickering light of the fire and the stars in the sky were quite natural.

This is the fifth day after they left Youzhou City, two or three thousand men and horses have already scattered everywhere, chasing prey, only Tong Guan and other Song envoys and Yelu Xiongge's men and horses are still acting together, at this time, it is also relying on the Khitans under Xiongge's subordinates that they can arrange all the food and accommodation tonight in a short period of time.

On the blazing bonfire, there were now newly hunted prey, hares, roe deer, and even some wolves that had been specially found, all the meat was carefully washed and cut and was being roasted by the fire, and the fat was constantly dripping, and the aroma was overflowing, and the meat became charred and attractive.

Sun Tu and Lu Dawu Song gathered in front of a roasted roe deer, drinking and talking, while waiting for the meat to be completely cooked. Looking at the Khitans who were only a few steps away from them, laughing and drinking, and even some were singing loudly and dancing, the faces of these Song soldiers were no longer the previous vigilance and hostility, and were replaced by happy smiles from the heart.

is as aggressive as Luda, and at this time, after pouring a big sip of wine, he sighed: "After getting along with each other for a few days, I realized that the Liao people are not as vicious as they used to think, in fact, they also fight." ”

Sun Tu took a sip of wine and laughed: "This is human nature, whether it is Han or Khitan, most of them are just to survive and have food and clothing, or to make their lives and their families better." The so-called war is nothing more than a small number of people who drive the vast majority of people to fight hard for their own ambitions and interests, and in the end it is only they who really benefit. ”

"Thinking about it like this, this god is really unfair!" Wu Song said with some hatred.

"It's really unfair, but this is the reality, since you and I are in this world, there are some things that you can't avoid if you want to. Unless one day we can become the ones who control the fate of the majority, we may be able to change this unjust world. Sun Tu said, and found that the venison in front of him had been roasted, so he cut off a piece with a knife, sprinkled some salt on it, chewed and swallowed it before saying: "In fact, there are still rules to follow in this world, that is, the weak eat the strong!" ”

"It's a good sentence that the weak eat the strong, and Sun Dujian really broke the true meaning with one sentence." A gentle voice sounded from the side at the right time, and everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Tong Guan walking side by side with Yelu Xiongge, and behind them, there were more than a dozen guards, including the two guards who had been inseparable from Tong Guan. And it was Yelu Xiongge who said this, and he was looking at Sun Tu with admiration at this time.

Sun Tu and the others hurriedly got up at this time to salute. For some reason, Yelu Xiongge had been with them ever since he met them, and every day when it was dark, he would entertain these Song envoys with great hospitality, better than what they had done in Youzhou City before. And Tong Guan did not refuse his closeness, and the two actually got along quite well in the past few days.

In the combination of these two

After the person asked him to sit down by the bonfire, Sun Tucai smiled and said, "Xiaguan is just a strange idea, just casually talking." However, I also agree with what the ancestor of this dynasty said before, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch! The Great Liao has occupied the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun for a hundred years, in fact, it has always been a threat to our Great Song Dynasty, even if our Song people like peace, they must also prepare for a war for self-preservation. ”

"Yes, there has been constant friction between Liao and Song for a hundred years, and in the final analysis, it is because of this one." Yelu Xiongge said with some emotion: "The Song court has put a lot of thought into this, I don't know if Tong Shumi's plan to come to Liao this time?" For example, looking for loopholes in my border defense, so as to find an opportunity to suddenly send troops to recapture the land of the Sixteen States......" At this point, although he still had a faint smile on his face, a terrifying momentum still came to his face.

Tong Guan's brows were deeply locked, he really didn't expect the other party to suddenly talk about this, the two of them were still talking and laughing just now, why did they have the meaning of turning their faces? However, as a heavy minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he Tong Guan has also experienced many winds and waves, how can he be frightened by these words, so he smiled and said: "The old man can't understand what the king said." The old man has long said that this time he went to Liao to meet Emperor Liao, so that you and I can share peace, how can I have any other thoughts. ”

"Really? Then the king is about to ask, why did you make trouble in Nanjing before? Sun Dujian, as you are, would you have a dispute with a young man in my clan for the sake of a horse, regardless of your own safety? Yelu Xiongge suddenly set his eyes on Sun Tu's face, and the pressure instantly fell on him.

Sun Tu was only slightly stunned, and then laughed: "King Xiongge, you also think too highly of me Sun Tu." Xia Guan is only twenty-two years old this year, which is the age of blood and strength, and he was a little anxious before, but it made you smile......" As he spoke, he also deliberately stood up and apologized.

There is nothing wrong with saying this, Sun Tu is indeed only in his early twenties, and he is not a few years older than the two sons of the Xiao family, so it is normal for him to have such a violent reaction. This made Yelu Xiongge a little stunned, whether it was him or Yelu Dashi, they naturally ignored Sun Tu's true age, and they didn't know how to refute it.

But soon, he laughed again: "Sun Dujian, you are too humble, if you are also such a reckless person, I am afraid that Tong Shumi and the Song court will not hand over tens of thousands of troops to you to command." Tong Shumi, don't tell lies in front of real people, this king can calmly say this to you today, it is enough to express my sincerity. As long as you are willing to cooperate and return the things to our Daliao, I will be able to avoid the past and not affect the relations between the two countries. ”

By the end of the words, his face had become extremely solemn. Although he didn't come up with any threatening words, saying anything else or how, the pressure he gave was heavier than what he said, so that Tong Guan could imagine that once things could not be discussed, a bloody storm would soon be set off.

However, Sun Tu's reaction was still calm, and they were not threatened by it at all. Seeing this, Yelu Xiongge's brows furrowed even tighter: "Tong Shumi, do you think this king really doesn't dare to take risks?" You feel that if you disappear here, Song Kingdom

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Do you really dare to raise troops to avenge you? ”

After a pause, he restrained his killing intent and said: "This king is so persuasive, not because he is afraid that your Great Song Dynasty will send troops to attack Liao, but because he doesn't want to see you and me lose their lives again, and I don't want you and me to fight each other, but I have cheapened some hidden opponents." Do you remember what this king said when we first met a few days ago? The tiger is terrifying, but it is not necessarily it that threatens it, but the wolf that lurks in the shadows. To you and me, each of us is a fierce enemy, but there is still the most cunning wolf hiding on our side, do you really want to do their thing? ”

Tong Guan's face finally became solemn: "King Xiongge, what do you mean by the evil wolf......"

"Xia Guo, the party in the west, haven't you fought against them in the Great Song Dynasty for many years? Don't you know their wolf ambitions? Once the Liao and Song Dynasty fought and both sides were defeated, I am afraid that they will only benefit in the end. ”

Sun Tu glanced at Yelu Xiongge with some surprise, this man was indeed long-sighted, wiser than many people, although he actually found the wrong enemy. The Liao and Song wars did end up benefiting from the fishermen, but it was not the Xia Kingdom, which had always been entrenched in the northwest, but the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, which was now almost ignored by everyone.

Of course, there was some truth in this, and Tong Guan was moved, but he was soon thrown aside again. As the largest main battle faction in the Great Song Dynasty today, he Tong Guan can only consolidate and expand his power by continuing to fight abroad, and when the Western Xia people have now retreated to defense, and it is difficult for the Song army to be effective, it is his only choice to seize the sixteen states of Youyun in the north.

So even if he knew that once he started a war with Liao, it would bring a lot of trouble, but he couldn't take care of it at this time. In the final analysis, he is the small group of people who can get a lot of benefits from the war that Sun Tu mentioned before, and as for the number of casualties among the Song Liao army and civilians, it is not in his consideration at all.

So after a period of silence, Tong Guan looked at the other party and said with a smile: "What King Xiongge said is naturally good, and this is also the purpose of the old man's visit to Liao." But because of this, you want the old man to hand over something, but it is really confusing...... "but it is a denial of 625 for him."

Yelu Xiongge's face finally became completely gloomy: "I didn't expect that such a person as Tong Shumi would use such a scoundrel trick. Since you refuse to eat this toast, then the king can only offend! At this point, he had suddenly risen to his feet, and the guards not far from them had quickly rushed forward, and a mouthful of bright steel knives had formed a knife formation and surrounded them.

At the same time, a whistle suddenly sounded in this camp, and the Liao soldiers who were still enthusiastically drinking and eating meat with the Song people suddenly moved, and those meat-cutting knives were on the neck of the Song army in the blink of an eye. Some of them still wanted to resist, but they were cut open by a knife on the spot and fell down with a whimper.

Sun Tu really didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, they only had a meat knife in their hands, and before they even had time to pull out the saber they carried, they were besieged by the Liao soldiers who were killing from all sides......
