Chapter 0728: Alliance? Conspiracy!
Zhao Defang's words didn't come out after all, because Li Xin appeared behind him like a ghost.
Li Xin and Yang Qi are the same year, Yang Qi is now in the northwest and dominates the party, Li Xin is not weak, and he has already sat in the position of governor at a young age.
If Su Yijian hadn't gone to the south, I'm afraid the two would have staged a Yuliang dispute in the court again.
Although it was the same year, Li Xin didn't have much affection for Yang Qi.
Between a Song minister with red roots and a traitor, it is difficult to mix even the deepest relationship.
Therefore, when Li Xin saw Yang Qi, he frowned obviously, snorted coldly, and reminded Zhao Defang, "Eighth Prince, Your Majesty asked you to guard Tongtai Pass, so that you can wait for the arrival of reinforcements, not to let you chat with some irrelevant people." ”
Dropping this sentence, Li Xin flicked his sleeves and left proudly.
Zhao Defang smiled bitterly at Yang Qi, and then lowered his head and left with Li Xin.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, the corners of Yang Qi's mouth hooked, and he smiled sarcastically: "The pride of taking it? Ridiculous......"
After sneering, Yang Qi raised his head and looked calmly in the southwest direction.
Whether it was the peace talks between Zhao Guangyi and Liao, or Li Xin's disdain for himself, Yang Qi didn't care.
Six days have passed since Yang Qi conveyed the order to transfer troops, and there are still three days left, and the soldiers and horses of the four northwestern provinces will rush to Tongtai Pass, and there are still four days, and the soldiers and horses of the southern country will set foot on the land of Liao.
Time is what Yang Qi needs most now, so Yang Qi really hopes that Zhao Guangyi can help him last a few more days.
Peace talks are not something that can be negotiated in a day, and how many days it will take depends on the terms agreed upon by both sides and who is reluctant to compromise first.
On the wilderness not far from Tongtai Pass.
The teams of the two countries have met.
Zhao Guangyi's gorgeous team and frame are very conspicuous, and they can be seen from afar.
Canopies, umbrellas, gourds, copper hammers, etc., are not lacking.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarded around the dragon, looking magnificent and domineering.
On the contrary, the frames of the little emperor of Liao and the Empress Dowager Xiao are much simpler.
Although there are many people guarding their mother and son, in terms of gorgeousness, they are still slightly inferior to Zhao Guangyi by three points.
Empress Dowager Xiao led the little emperor to sit on an eight-horse cart, lifted the curtain, calmly looked at Zhao Guangyi's dragon, bowed her head and asked the little emperor, "What does the emperor think?" ”
The little emperor clenched his little fists and said firmly: "His frame, sooner or later, will belong to me." ”
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "The emperor has such ambitions, and the palace is very happy." However, you must remember that after you conquer the Song Kingdom, you must not learn from the Song Emperor and be greedy for pleasure. We should be diligent and thrifty, so that I can make the country great and bless me for thousands of years. ”
The little emperor nodded, his eyes glancing behind him, and said, "I have written down ......"
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled happily and patted the little emperor's back, "Let's go and play with your little nephew......"
The little emperor cheered and entered the carriage.
Empress Dowager Xiao knocked on a golden bell hanging on the outside of the frame, and a female guard immediately appeared in front of her.
"What does the Queen Mother command?"
"Go and please come over."
"No!"
The female guard rode away, and it didn't take long for Yelu Hugo to the frame of the Empress Dowager Xiao.
Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the radiant Brother Yelu Xiu, and said with a faint smile: "Greater than Yue, everything can be arranged?" ”
Brother Yelu Hugh beat his chest with one hand and said solemnly: "The Queen Mother is relieved, this king has already arranged everything, as long as he gets the letter of alliance, he will be called Zhao Guangyi, and there will be no return." ”
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, "Then the palace is here to watch Dayue and establish a miracle for my Great Liao." ”
When the two sides arrived at the meeting place, they stopped at their respective high platforms.
After the roll call by the ceremonial officer and the salute to each other, it is considered to have been seen.
Zhao Guangyi was lifted onto the high platform by the masters of the Instrument Supervision University and sat on the dragon chair that had been placed in advance.
On the high platform of the Liao Kingdom opposite, a man and a woman, one big and one small, two figures went up to the high platform at the same time and sat opposite.
The alliance does not talk about things directly at the beginning, but first to enjoy a song and dance, or a strong fight.
The Liao people took the lead in opening, and after passing what they were going to perform, the unique drum sound of the Liao people sounded.
The women in Liao costumes entered the arena and danced.
The Song people were naturally not to be outdone, and the two teams of singers who accompanied the car were sent to the venue to sing and dance.
Halfway through the dance, something went wrong.
A reckless man from the Liao Kingdom suddenly broke into the middle of the singers, and casually picked up the two singers and ran away.
"Bold!"
Zhao Guangyi and the others just frowned and didn't say much. This loud shout was shouted by Li Jilong.
It's not that Zhao Guangyi and others are unwilling to speak out.
When the alliance is met, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, this is the rule.
After the shouting, Li Jilong jumped off the high platform with a gun in one hand and a solemn face.
The reckless men of the Liao State seem to be waiting for this scene.
Seeing Li Jilong, he cracked his bloody mouth and smiled cruelly: "I think they are good-looking, and I want to snatch them back to be a daughter-in-law, do you have any opinions?" ”
Li Jilong frowned tightly, and said coldly: "They are all women of my Great Song Dynasty, if you want to rob them back, have you ever asked me if the other people in the Great Song Dynasty will agree?" ”
Liao Guo reckless man sneered: "In previous years, I didn't rob less, why didn't I see the rest of your Song Kingdom in charge?" Hey, hey, hey...... Every year, I take my clansmen to the Song country to loot, and every year, not only can I grab a beautiful Song woman, but even my clansmen can grab it. ”
Li Jilong's face turned pale, and he roared: "That's because you didn't touch me in previous years, and if you touch me, I will definitely break you to pieces." ”
"Who are you?"
"Great Song border general Li Jilong!"
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Hearing Li Jilong's name, the sarcasm in the smile of the reckless man of the Liao Kingdom became even stronger, "You are the waste general who buried hundreds of thousands of Song troops in Shuncheng?" ”
"Look for death!"
Li Jilong was furious and rushed over with a gun.
Seeing this, the reckless man of Liao Guo smiled cruelly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time......
The two quickly got tangled together.
Crackling and beating, you come and go.
After ten rounds of fighting, Li Jilong stabbed the Liao Mang Han with one shot.
Li Jilong domineeringly roared in the direction of the Liao Kingdom: "Who else? ”
"I'll meet you."
The Liao people have never had a timid warrior.
In the face of Li Jilong's provocation, someone immediately stood up to fight against Li Jilong.
After a few more rounds of fighting, Li Jilong was slashed on the body, and he also stabbed the Liao general to death.
Next, the scene of singing and dancing escalated to the scene of fighting under this kind of fighting.
You come and go, you kill me, I kill you.
There were more than a dozen fights.
Li Jilong won three games in a row, and he was very powerful.
Then nearly ten games ended in the fiasco of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the end, it was Cao Bin, a veteran, who personally put on his armor and went into battle, and barely regained some face.
After a few singing and dancing and a dozen fights, it was already dark.
Between the two high platforms, a bonfire was lit.
The two sides held a dinner around the bonfire.
The Liao Emperor gave the Song Emperor a leg of mutton, and the Song Emperor gave the Liao Emperor a guinea fowl, so you come and go, and you play until late at night.
The next day, both sides came to the high platform again with high morale.
Yesterday was just a warm-up, what we have to do today is the point.
Zhao Guangyi sat on the high platform and continued to be a mud bodhisattva.
The sixteen civil officials headed by Zhao Pu walked heavily and looked firmly at the sixteen civil officials of the Liao State.
The two sides talked for five hours, and the first round of peace talks was completed.
Zhao Pu held the results of the peace talks with a solemn expression and handed them to Zhao Guangyi.
Zhao Guangyi looked at the conditions offered by the Liao State, and almost jumped up from the dragon chair out of breath, "Song and Liao are the country of father and son, let me call the Liao Emperor who is still a minor?" I will never agree to this. ”
"Song returned the land of the ten states that occupied the Liao State, and ceded the land of Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion as compensation? Let me cede the land of the two provinces in one breath, and the Liao people are simply lions with a big mouth. Yun, Ying, Huan and other four states, let them talk to Yang Yansi by themselves, and it is not from me, I don't care. I won't agree to this. ”
"The Song State provided the Liao State with one million taels of silver and two million taels of silk every year for the 'expenses of helping the army', and delivered them to Youzhou City. This one...... Continue to discuss ......"
"The two sides have set up a field on the border to carry out mutual trade. I can agree to this. ”
“……”
There are more than a dozen clauses, the most important of which are four, first, Zhao Guangyi has been the emperor in front of the Liao State since then, and he will always be the first generation of the Liao Emperor.
The second is to return the occupied land and make compensation for the land.
The third is indemnity.
Fourth, the two sides carry out mutual trade.
In addition to the mutual trade between the two sides, the remaining three are impossible in Zhao Guangyi's eyes.
Let Zhao Guangyi be the emperor for others, then his reputation will be stinky, if you really want to recognize this emperor, a hundred years later, in the history books, his reputation will definitely not be good by Shi Jingjiao.
After reading the terms of the negotiation, Zhao Guangyi did not say a word and ordered Zhao Pu to continue the talks.
Then, the two sides started negotiations again.
After negotiations, Zhending Mansion could be removed from the terms of land cession, but Hejian Mansion was still among the Liao people's claims.
Other terms and conditions have not changed at all.
Zhao Guangyi told Zhao Pu to continue talking.
After talking for two days in a row, the Liao people did not let go, and when they were in a hurry, they said that they would march into the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Pu reported to Zhao Guangyi with a sad face that he had talked about everything, "Your Majesty, the Liao people will not let go, they say that this is their bottom line, and they will not talk about it anymore."
If our Great Song still has to bargain, they will personally send troops to get it. ”
Zhao Guangyi spit out a mouthful of reverse blood angrily, he only grabbed Zhao Pu with both hands, stared at him stunned with his eyes, and roared: "First, you must not agree to ......"
Dropping this sentence, Zhao Guangyi collapsed on the dragon chair, fortunately, this time he didn't faint.
With this glorious mission, Zhao Pu conducted the last round of negotiations with the Liao people.
After negotiations, in the end, the first article about the conditions of the child emperor was changed.
The two countries of Song and Liao formed a fraternal state, and the two sides were commensurate with each other as brothers, and the elders and young were judged by age.
As a condition for changing the first article, the relative indemnity was increased considerably, and the amount of the indemnity was as high as 1,500,000 taels of silver and 2,300,000 silk cloth.
When Zhao Pu reported the matter to Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi acquiesced to these conditions with his eyes closed.
After the terms were negotiated, the two sides drafted three covenants.
After the two sides used the seal, Zhao Guangyi cooperated with the Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor of the Liao State, and the three of them climbed to the highest altar.
Due to Zhao Guangyi's physical inconvenience, there was one more person when he ascended the altar.
This person is Li Fang.
Li Fang supported Zhao Guangyi and climbed onto the altar of the heavens.
Empress Dowager Xiao led the little emperor and also ascended the altar.
When ascending the altar, Li Fang observed the Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor up close, and felt that their behavior was a little weird, and he originally wanted to look at it twice.
As a result, he was glared at by the fierce Liao general opposite, and Li Fang didn't dare to look at it more.
It wasn't until he boarded the altar that Li Fang saw the Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor up close.
Empress Dowager Xiao's skin was a little dark, and the little emperor looked very thin.
This made Li Fang subconsciously frown.
"Read the letter to heaven......"
Zhao Guangyi's voice sounded beside Li Fang, interrupting Li Fang's rude actions.
Li Fang held the book of sue to heaven in his hand, and read it for a long time in frustration.
Then he bowed down and raised the document above his head, and Gao Sheng said: "Please ask the two Majesties to burn the heavenly document together......
Under Li Fang's gaze, a hand full of cracks appeared in front of his eyes.
Li Fang's heart bulged.
"Not good! Your Majesty, there is a deception! Come on! ”
Li Fang didn't say a word, and dragged Zhao Guangyi to run under the altar.
The woman who pretended to be the Empress Dowager Xiao snatched the book of sacrifice from Li Fang's hand, lit it and threw it into the bronze tripod of the sacrifice.
Then she picked up the child who was pretending to be the little emperor and laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha......"
The laughter lasted for a few breaths, then was drowned out by an exclamation.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering explosion came out from the copper tripod, and the copper tripod was blown apart in an instant, and the woman and child pretending to be the Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor on the altar were directly blown up by the copper tripod and divided into pieces, and then the minced meat was followed by a fire.
The altar was blown up in an instant.
Zhao Guangyi and Li Fang, who were running down the altar, were swept away by the air wave and smashed heavily on the ground.
It's all in between the lights and the fire.
The Liao people, who had been prepared for a long time, killed the Song people when the sound of the explosion came out.
"Help! Help! ”
Li Fang raised his head from the ground with a dark face, spitting blood while shouting for help.
Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, and Li Jilong, as well as the masters of the instrument supervisor and the golden gun class, immediately pounced in the direction where Zhao Guangyi was.
Rounds of arrows rained down, and Rao was a high-powered skill of the masters of the instrument supervisor and the golden gun class, and they also died tragically under the arrow rain.
Zhao Pu and the three of them carried heavy shields, and under the protection of several equipment supervisors, they rushed to Zhao Guangyi's location.
didn't even care whether Zhao Guangyi was dead or alive, Cao Bin carried Zhao Guangyi on his back and rushed out under the escort of others.
The Liao army followed behind them and fought fiercely.
Li Fang was thrown down by Zhao Pu and the others, and before he could run, he was shot to death by Brother Yelu Xiu, who came from behind.
Li Jilong was hit by three arrows, and Cao Bin and others were not spared, and they were injured.
In the end, under the support of the soldiers, the equipment supervisor, the golden gun squad and other people, Cao Bin carried Zhao Guangyi on his back to break out of the encirclement and ran to the front of Tongtai Pass.
A few days ago, behind them out of Tongtai Pass, there were tens of thousands of horses supporting them.
At this moment, when they fled back to Tongtai Pass, there were less than ten people left.
Moreover, until now, they don't even know whether Zhao Guangyi is alive or dead.
