Chapter 1393 Since my Great Song has the initiative, let's talk about it (first update)
Chapter 1393
The envoy of the Great Liao, Yelu Yanshou, was standing outside the gate of the palace at this moment, walking around anxiously, although he came by the order of the Son of Heaven of Northern Liao, but whether the Son of Heaven of the Song Kingdom was willing to see him or not was not something that Yelu Yanshou could decide.
He had been wandering around outside for an hour, and inside the palace city he just came to a famous eunuch to tell him that the Son of Heaven had gone out on patrol and was not in the palace, so that he could go back to the Wanguo Pavilion to rest, and when the Son of Heaven had time, he would only see him, or he would send an official to discuss with him the things mentioned in the letter written by the Son of Heaven of Daliao.
This is clearly procrastinating, a typical delay, Yelu Yanshou, who was furious, had no intention of leaving at all, and directly told the eunuch that no matter what, he must see the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty today, otherwise, the consequences will be borne by the Song State.
Although such cruel words were put aside, until now, the eunuch who entered the palace gate to reply has not appeared again. And the closed palace gate is like Yelu's mood for longevity at the moment: it is blocked in a panic.
After another half an hour, at last, the palace door opened, and out of it was a young-looking eunuch, and then he was accompanied by two young officials dressed in vermilion.
Yelu Yanshou's face darkened, and he finally paused and looked at the three people who were coming towards him.
After Marchand, who was in the lead, walked up to Yelu Yanshou, bowed slightly, turned around and introduced. "Ambassador Xiao, this is my brother of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Duan, this is my Lord of the Great Song Dynasty, Lord Lang Wang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Your Majesty has a decree, and the dispute with the Great Liao is fully controlled by these two adults."

"Why can't you Song Kingdom Son of Heaven see me?" Yelu Yanshou Tie's face was blue, and his eyes swept over Wang Yang and Duanwang Zhao Ji, and he always felt that the smiles on the faces of these two guys were so hypocritical and so unpleasant.
"I'm sorry, the Son of Heaven has important state affairs that need to be dealt with, so this official and His Royal Highness have been ordered to come to negotiate with Ambassador Xiao." Wang Yang took a step forward with a smile, and after bowing to Yelu to extend his life, he explained very sincerely.
"Why, if Ambassador Xiao feels that the identities of the two of us are not worthy of negotiating with you, then we will leave first, and wait for His Majesty's edict to hold a court meeting to re-determine the official candidates to negotiate with Ambassador Xiao."
Yelu Yanshou looked at Wang Yang, gritted his teeth and snorted in a low voice. “…… Well, since the Emperor of Song insists on doing so, the envoy will have a good talk with you. You Song Kingdom, why did you offend me for no reason on the Liaodong Peninsula of Daliao Tokyo Province?! ”
"......" Wang Yang suddenly raised his head, and then raised his right arm, blocking the hot sun, looking left and right.
This appearance directly made Na Yelu Yanshou almost blow up his lungs, and the green tendons on his head jumped. "This Lord Wang, what are you doing here?"
"Ambassador Xiao, don't you think it's too hot here? What's more, how can it be possible to talk about the major affairs of diplomatic relations between the two countries in such a large public, it is really a bit inappropriate, why don't we go to the Wanguo Pavilion now, go to Ambassador Xiao's place where you are staying to have a detailed chat, or go to the official of the Ministry of Rites to sit in the public room? ”
Seeing Wang Yang's unanxious, unhurried and unhurried appearance, Yelu Yanshou gradually reined in his anger, and he suddenly thought of a question. "Aren't you the former North Shaanxi Road Commander Wang Yang and Wang Wushan?"
"Exactly, could it be that Ambassador Xiao has heard of Wang's name?" Wang Yang nodded as a matter of course and replied with a smile.
At this moment, Yelu Yanshou finally calmed down, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at this versatile and resourceful, capable of both civil and military, famous in command of soldiers, and famous in governance. It is also the king of Wushan who made Yelu Hongji, the son of the Great Liao, say that he won Wang Wushan and won 100,000 tigers.
"Who else should Xiao be, it turned out to be Lord Wang, and he has admired him for a long time. I don't want to, Emperor Song would actually entrust Lord Wang to deal with Xiao. At this moment, Yelu Yanshou suddenly understood.
Who is Wang Yang Wang Wushan? In the past few years, his reputation has been so great that it can almost be regarded as the most mentioned Song State official in the mouths of all countries.
But whenever he is mentioned, it is mostly related to the war, either the battle against Xia or the Liao, this person is tenacious, and he is the most powerful main war official among the young officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
Da Song Tianzi asked such a person to negotiate with him, is this the rhythm of wanting to negotiate? At least Yelu Yanshou didn't believe it, maybe this time he went to Song Ting, and what he had to encounter was far more difficult than he imagined.
"Because this official is currently serving in the Ministry of Rites, the affairs of diplomatic relations with various countries are just the affairs of this official." Wang Yang looked at the Northern Liao envoy who looked him up and down with a shocked face, and said unhurriedly.
Now it is the Great Song Dynasty that holds the initiative in negotiations, and if you talk, then you can talk, first, the Liaodong Peninsula belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no doubt about this.
Second, it is impossible to withdraw from the Liaodong Peninsula, because the first point has already made the issue of sovereignty clear.
Then, we can start negotiations around the above two points.
The negotiation was very difficult, Yelu Yanshou felt that he had never encountered such a negotiation opponent in his life, he had also sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty in the past, and he also went to Western Xia on behalf of the Great Liao.
But I have never faced such a tough and slippery opponent. And Yelu Yanshou sadly discovered that today's Da Liao has no means to threaten the Song State. Perhaps this is also the reason why Song Guo dared to despise himself so much.
However, Yelu couldn't return in vain, or in other words, he couldn't come murderously and go back like this, so he could only continue to entangle with Song Ting.
Only in this way could the Song court let down its guard and ignore the tactics that the Northern Liao was secretly implementing on the Liaodong Peninsula.

"How's it going, is there any new movement?" An elite scout of the Great Song Western Army quietly climbed up a steep hillside about ten miles southeast of Nachen Prefecture, and then lifted a camouflage cover covered with weeds and dirt and drilled in.
Directly in front of the hideout, which is only about four feet square, is an observation hole about one foot high and three feet wide. The companion inside put down the binoculars in his hand, rubbed his tired eyes, and shook his head.
"There's no movement, it's still the same, I just don't know if there will be spies sneaking out and wanting to go to Ningzhou after dark."
"It's up to the king to control them, we only need to be responsible for doing our part, and keep an eye on the head of Chenzhou City and whether there are any changes and movements in the city."
On the walls of Chenzhou, the guards of Chenzhou looked at the reckless primeval forest around it, which was sheltered by trees everywhere, or steep cliffs, which were only unobstructed along the coast and the dirt road.
Even now, Song Ting's army has not appeared in his sight, but the defenders of Chenzhou are still very worried.
The low city wall of Chenzhou is similar to that of Naning Prefecture and Fuzhou, and it is a city wall to sound good, and a small earthen city surrounded by mud that is high to say that it is ugly.
Even though there were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses guarding it now, he still didn't feel safe. When his eyes fell on the dock in the west, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, the main forces of the Da Liao sailors were all gathered here, which finally gave him, a small Chenzhou guard, a little more confidence to defend this Chenzhou.
