"After a long time, the tiger marquis is still the same."

Yingying, who came, stood in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, neither entering nor leaving.

Yang Qi slowly walked down the steps leaning on the chair, walked quickly to the person who came, bowed his hand, and said with a wry smile: "In front of you, how dare I call it a tiger marquis......

The person who came smiled indifferently, a little sadness flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting, and he immediately chuckled: "The Tiger Hou doesn't need to be polite, today's Tiger Hou is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past, so he naturally deserves the title of Tiger Hou." ”

Yang Qi made a gesture of please, personally invited someone to sit down, and hurriedly asked someone to serve tea.

Peng Pai served two fragrant teas, and after Yang Qi sat down, he held the teacup and said with emotion: "Liao Guo can give up his blood and let you come to my military camp in person, I really don't know ......what to say."

After that, Yang Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly with complicated thoughts.

The person who came took a sip of tea and said with a light smile: "Huhou doesn't have to be so troublesome, I came to your army's camp today as a relative, and I don't get involved in any state affairs, but I don't know if Huhou recognizes me as a relative?" ”

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Then I should call you Empress Dowager Xiao?" Or the aunt of the Xiao family? ”

The person who came was Xiao Zhuo, the empress dowager of Liao.

Yang Qi never expected that this woman with a high and powerful position in the Liao State would actually come over to talk to Yang Qi in person.

is like a daughter who suddenly transforms into a pawn.

It's hard to get used to it for a while.

No wonder when Peng Pai reported to him just now that an envoy had come to the peace talks, he looked strange and refused to say who this envoy was.

Ah, Peng Pai, this kid has also learned badly, and he dares to play tricks on himself.

When the war is over here, we must send Peng Pai, a kid, to Dongtou Island, and let him accompany Luoye to be the owner of the island.

Yang Qi always felt weird in his heart, but Empress Dowager Xiao behaved very calmly.

It doesn't feel like Empress Dowager Xiao came to Yang Qi's camp for peace talks, but it feels like Yang Qi went to the camp of Liao State to talk about peace.

Hearing Yang Qi's words, Empress Dowager Xiao was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "You should naturally call me Aunt Xiao, so that you are close." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't have the frame of a mother of a country at all, and her attitude is like an aunt next door.

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "That...... I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. There is no Yang Yanhui in the Yang family, so it is not appropriate for me to call you an aunt. I'll call you Empress Dowager Xiao. After all, what we're going to talk about next is state affairs. ”

Yang Qi's words blocked Empress Dowager Xiao's idea of playing the family card.

Empress Dowager Xiao was not lightly scolded, and her face became a little embarrassed.

But after all, she is a person who has seen the world, and she was only embarrassed for a moment, and then said with a smile: "There is no Yang Yanhui in the Yang family, I naturally know this." So I want to ask, does the Yang family also have no Yelu heir? ”

Yang Qi's face stiffened with a smile, and he said without being salty or light: "Since it is called Yelu heir, it is naturally a member of the Yelu family, and it has nothing to do with my Yang family." ”

This time, Empress Dowager Xiao not only did not feel embarrassed, but smiled softly: "Huhou is so aggressive, aren't you afraid that Yeluhei's father and son will be difficult to behave in my Daliao territory in the future?" ”

Yang Qi's face turned dark, and he secretly scolded Empress Dowager Xiao in his heart for being shameless.

Again and again he threatened him with Jerod.

Yang Qi raised his face and said coldly: "Their father and son live or die, and they have nothing to do with me Yang Yansi and our Yang family. If the Queen Mother has the heart to negotiate peace, then put everything on the surface. If you take some outsiders to talk to me again and again, then don't blame me for closing the door and sending off guests. ”

Suddenly, the smile on Empress Dowager Xiao's face was a little unnatural.

"Hey......"

Empress Dowager Xiao let out a long sigh and said softly, "Why is the Tiger Marquis so aggressive? ”

Yang Qi looked at Empress Dowager Xiao with a smile and said, "Didn't you treat Da Song like the same when you treated Da Song at the beginning? ”

The expression on Empress Dowager Xiao's face froze, she knew that she couldn't go on with the play, so she could only make it clear that the carriage and horse would negotiate with Yang Qi.

"Since Huhou is so ignorant of the feelings between the two of us, this palace can only speak bluntly. According to Huhou's previous request, my Da Liao can agree to temporarily hand over the sixteen states of Yanyun to Huhou for safekeeping. However, Huhou must evacuate all the soldiers and horses in Shunzhou and let us return to Shangjing. ”

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, he slowly picked up the teacup, and said leisurely: "The Queen Mother is joking with me?" ”

After tasting a sip of fragrant tea, he put down the teacup, and said proudly: "Now that of the sixteen states of Yanyun, fifteen of them have fallen into my hands, and only one Shunzhou is left, which is also surrounded by me.

As long as I am willing, Shunzhou can be taken in an instant, and maybe I can also capture the emperor of the Liao State, as well as the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao State, and you, the Queen Mother of the Liao State, as a hostage.

It can be said that the sixteen states of Yanyun are already in my pocket, the Queen Mother, don't you think it's unreasonable to be generous to others? ”

For this matter, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't feel embarrassed at all, she said lightly: "Since Huhou can take Shunzhou in one go, why has he besieged Shunzhou for many days without any action?" ”

Without waiting for Yang Qi to speak, Empress Dowager Xiao asked herself and replied: "The reason why Huhou didn't make any moves must be because he was careful. Considering that the soldiers and horses of my Da Liao were in the battle, they broke out with a will to die and fought to the death.

I still have 300,000 soldiers and horses in Daliao, and in the face of the siege of the Tiger Hou, although it is difficult to win, if I fight to the death, I may not be able to bite off a piece of meat from the Tiger Hou.

Is what Hongu said right? ”

Yang Qi looked at Empress Dowager Xiao and shook his head with a smile.

Empress Dowager Xiao subconsciously frowned, not understanding why Yang Qi shook her head.

Yang Qi said with a smile: "The ambition of being trapped, there is death and no life, this is terrible. It's just that when that time comes, will your army have the strength to fight with our army? ”

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, her heart bulged, and she opened her mouth and asked, "You already knew that our army's food and grass had been exhausted?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Xiao realized that she had lost her words, and her eyes flickered a little.

There are some things that you can't say explicitly, even if you guess that the other party already knows.

What if the other party doesn't know at all, so what if they make a trick?

Yang Qi seemed to see what the Empress Dowager Xiao was thinking, and he smiled: "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry about this matter, not only do I know that your Liao army's grain and grass have been exhausted, but I also know that you have long been unable to collect grain and grass in the territory of Daliao." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao finally didn't calm down now, she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Thousands of officials in my Daliao were assassinated, did you do it?" ”

Yang Qi smiled and said nothing.

Empress Dowager Xiao's heart sank suddenly, and Yang Qi didn't speak, which meant that she was acquiescing.

As soon as she thought of this, Empress Dowager Xiao felt a little pain in her heart.

knew that this matter was done by Yang Qi, so why did she bother with Brother Yelu Xiu and the two of them, secretly beware of Han Derang and being a villain in vain.

Seeing Yang Qi looking at herself with a smile, Empress Dowager Xiao thought tactfully, and suddenly thought of a key.

She opened her mouth wide, her phoenix eyes suddenly widened, and she lost her voice: "My Daliao prices are soaring......"

The smile on Yang Qi's face became even thicker.

He didn't hide it, nodded slightly, and said, "Not bad......"

"Puff~"

Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly sat down on the chair, as if she had been drained of her strength.

She closed her eyes in some pain.

Looking back on the past two years, because of the frequent rise and fall of prices in the past two years, the gradual collapse of all walks of life in Daliao has led to the gradual collapse of Daliao's economy, and the tax revenue has been reduced by 70% compared with before.

The people of Da Liao, as well as some royal nobles such as her and the little emperor Yelu Longxu, tightened their belts one by one to live.

originally thought that this was a test given by God, but he didn't expect that all of this was actually Yang Qi's secret layout behind his back.

The most important thing is that the source of it all seems to go back a few years.

So, Yang Qi has been secretly plotting against the Liao State since a few years ago?

Even, this time in the Song-Liao war, there is also Yang Qi behind the scenes?

Was the defeat of the Song Kingdom expected by Yang Qi?

So not long after the defeat of the Song State, the soldiers and horses of the Southern Kingdom, which were thousands of miles away from the Liao State, rushed to this one in time?

……

Pile by pile, piece by piece.

Now that I think about it, it seems that there is Yang Qi's back behind him.

Yang Qi is like a mastermind behind the scenes, controlling everything and acting according to his own will.

The means are all over the world, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable.

Is there such a person in the world?

Rao is the Empress Dowager Xiao is well-informed and discerns the world's talents, and when facing Yang Qi at this moment, there is also a trace of fear in her heart.

Who can be his opponent for such a character?

Such characters descended from the sky, is it to destroy my great Liao?

Looking at Yang Qi again, Empress Dowager Xiao had a little fear in her eyes.

can be calculated to such a point, and can be laid out so far-reaching.

Empress Dowager Xiao searched through Daliao, but she couldn't find a character who could compete with Yang Qi.

After being silent for a long time, Empress Dowager Xiao said bitterly: "Huhou is really a good means......

Yang Qi didn't know that Empress Dowager Xiao had already thought of him as a figure comparable to ghosts and gods in his heart, he looked at Empress Dowager Xiao and said happily: "In order to recover Yanyun, it's just a little trick that can't be put on the stage." Compared with the Queen Mother's generosity, my little bit of Taoism is not worth mentioning. ”

Yang Qi's words full of humility became the tiger's pity for the rabbit in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao took a deep breath and said solemnly: "This palace came here this time to calm down the conflict between you and me. I don't know what kind of conditions Huhou needs to let me go? ”

When Yang Qi heard this, he was obviously stunned, and he didn't understand why Empress Dowager Xiao compromised so quickly.

However, since Empress Dowager Xiao was soft, Yang Qi was embarrassed to chase and fight hard.

No matter how you say it, Yang Qi is also the number one talent in the literary world, and he has been chasing a woman to bully, and his reputation is not good.

Moreover, it is best not to fight.

The will to fall into battle, there is death but no life.

Today's Liao army is not the Liao army that has been worn out at the end of the Liao Kingdom, they are now in their heyday.

The 300,000 Liao army really had to fight to the death with the soldiers and horses under Yang Qi's command.

The soldiers and horses under Yang Qi's command also had to break their muscles and bones.

The reason why Yang Qi besieged Shunzhou but did not attack it was that he was waiting for the Liao army to run out of food and grass, and then there was civil strife, so he took the opportunity to pick up the cheap.

Now that Empress Dowager Xiao is willing to give in in advance, it is naturally a good thing.

It's just that Yang Qi didn't expect the Liao Kingdom to soften so quickly, and he didn't think about what conditions to prescribe for a while.

While Yang Qi was secretly thinking about what kind of conditions to offer with the Liao State, he said from the mouth of the Empress Dowager Xiao without a trace, "Queen Mother, there is one thing I am curious about......

Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Huhou, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it......"

Yang Qi was puzzled: "Based on my understanding of Yelu Xiuge, the king of the Southern Courtyard of your country, he is by no means the kind of person who likes to sit and wait for death. As you said before, your country's soldiers and horses still have a lot to fight.

In case your country's soldiers and horses fight against the water and exchange life for your country, then there is no need for peace talks? ”

Yang Qi's words were straightforward, and he could even say that he meant to point out the enemy.

is also glad that the four northwestern mansions are in charge of Yang Qi, and no one manages him, otherwise he will be beaten to death.

After Empress Dowager Xiao heard Yang Qi's words, she was smiling on her face, but she was bitter in her heart.

The soldiers and horses of Da Liao are fighting again.

However, as the commander of the army, Yelu Huge was injured by Yang Qi's internal injuries, and now he is still lying on the couch to recuperate, and there is no way to continue to command the battle.

And the other generals simply don't have the strength to support the current chaotic situation.

Even for such a thing as peace talks, it is impossible to pick out the right candidate.

Originally, Han Derang was the most suitable candidate.

However, Han Derang held peace talks outside Youzhou City, thinking that he had played Yang Qi, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face soon.

This made him a little reluctant to see Yang Qi again.

In the end, the woman who forced the Empress Dowager Xiao had to go into battle shirtless.

Of course, if Empress Dowager Xiao forced a certain courtier to come to peace talks, no one dared to refuse.

It's just that when the peace talks were mentioned, everyone hurriedly avoided the matter.

Empress Dowager Xiao was a little unhappy in her heart, and she thought of using the family card to get some cheap from Yang Qi before, so she also had the heart to see Yang Qi again and play the family card again.

It's just that she didn't expect that Yang Qi didn't eat the soft and hard, and threw away the family card she played.

Getting back to the point, hearing Yang Qi's words, Empress Dowager Xiao's heart was gloomy, but the smile on her face did not decrease, and said: "Since the Tiger Marquis knows that our army's food and grass have been exhausted, he naturally knows our hardships. ”

After a pause, Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile: "The grain and grass are scarce, even if it is greater than the eyes of the overstep, it is difficult to support the maintenance of the war." Moreover, thanks to the Huhou, there is now civil strife in my Daliao.

If you don't end this war quickly, and if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that my Daliao will be gone.

Besides, does Huhou want to see the tragedy of using human flesh as military food in our army? ”

"Whoosh!"

Yang Qi stood up suddenly, his face was pale, and he said hysterically: "You Liao army really dare to do this, I, Yang Yansi, can swear to the sky that I must let your Khitan exterminate the clan!" ”

Why did the sentence of using human flesh as military food cause such a big fluctuation in Yang Qi's emotions?

Based on the human tragedy that Yang Qi saw outside the Fuxing Pass, if the Liao army really ate himself, he should have a kind of great happiness, how could he be so angry? And make such a heavy vow?
