How Empress Dowager Xiao and Brother Yelu Hugh wanted to teach Zhao Guangyi a lesson, no one knew except the two of them.

After Zhao Pu and the others returned to Tongtai Pass, they hurried to Zhao Guangyi's temporary camp.

The only complete house in Tongtai Pass is said to have been built when Yang Si was stationed in Tongtai Pass.

In the middle of the room was a large dragon bed, which was removed from Zhao Guangyi's dragon bowl, and at this moment Zhao Guangyi was crawling on the bed, listening to Zhao Pu's pale face about his meeting with the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State said that this time the Song and Liao countries signed an alliance under the city, and they need to negotiate with Your Majesty face-to-face."

After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he bowed and stepped aside.

Zhao Guangyi crawled on the dragon bed, his pale face looked a little solemn, and he asked weakly: "I have already entrusted Aiqing with full authority to deal with the matter of the alliance between my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, why does this Empress Dowager Xiao still meet with me?" ”

Zhao Pu's cloudy eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said in a low voice: "The old minister doesn't know, the Empress Dowager Xiao has something to say first, and if the conditions are met, she must talk to Your Majesty in person." If we don't agree, they will attack Tongtai Pass immediately. ”

When Zhao Guangyi heard this, his teeth clenched, and he said unwillingly: "So, Xiao Zhuo, that woman, I have to force me to meet her." And I don't have a choice? ”

The dignified Song Dynasty dominated, holding the land that was not lost to the Liao State, and now being forced to this part by the Liao State, Zhao Guangyi didn't mention how uncomfortable it was.

Zhao Guangyi's eyes fell on Zhao Pu and the others, and when he saw that they were looking at their noses and noses, they closed their eyes and said helplessly: "You go and tell Xiao Zhuo that I agreed to talk to her......

So far.

Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to go into battle shirtless.

His courtiers pretended to be dead one by one, pretending to be wood, and couldn't come up with any ideas, so he could only let the Liao people lead him by the nose.

"Your Majesty Shengming ......"

Seeing that Zhao Guangyi had agreed to come forward for the peace talks in person, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief one after another, and shouted Shengming in unison.

After the routine, Zhao Pu spoke again, and he hesitated: "Your Majesty, in addition to meeting with you, the Empress Dowager Xiao also wants Yang Yansi to attend the alliance between the two countries under the city. ”

"Yang Yansi?!"

Zhao Guangyi repeated Yang Qi's name, and a death of viciousness flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.

Now that the form is stronger than people, Zhao Guangyi naturally has to endure it again and again, pretending to be the same as someone who has nothing to do.

"Since Empress Dowager Xiao wants to meet our Qilin genius of the Great Song Dynasty, let her meet her. It is also good to let the Empress Dowager Xiao take the opportunity to see the demeanor of my great Song literati.

Zhao Aiqing, it's up to you to tell Yang Yansi about this matter......"

Zhao Pu nodded stubbornly and responded to the matter.

After leaving Zhao Guangyi's temporary residence, he quickly looked for Yang Qi in the camp.

When he found Yang Qi, Yang Qi was eating wine with Cao Bin and Zhao Defang.

Although the war outside the city is imminent, it still can't affect Yaxing, where the three of them eat and drink.

When Zhao Pu saw the three of them drinking and having fun, he was angry, rushed forward angrily, snatched the wine jug from Yang Qi's hand, poured two sips, and said angrily: "The enemy is sharpening his sword outside the city, but you have the leisure to eat and drink here?" ”

Yang Qi snatched back the wine bottle from Zhao Pu's hand, poured it, and found that it had been drunk by Zhao Pu, so he reluctantly threw down the wine bottle and said with emotion: "Life is in the world, of course, you must be happy in time." The enemy is outside the city, and you can't defeat it.

Instead of worrying about this, worrying about that. It's better to have a good drink, and when the enemy comes, you can also have a good fight.

After all, whether this battle can continue to be fought, whether it will continue to be fought, the choice is in the hands of the Liao people, not you and me.

So...... What's the use of worrying? ”

"Humph!"

Zhao Pu snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "Whether this battle should continue to be fought or not, the Liao people gave up making a choice, but threw the choice into our hands."

The old man was ordered to send an envoy to the camp of the Liao State, and the Liao State had already agreed to the peace talks under the persuasion of the old man.

However, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State had two conditions. ”

"Liaoguo agreed to peace talks?"

"Empress Dowager Xiao appeared in Tongtai Pass?"

Two voices rang out at the same time, the former full of surprise and the latter full of consternation.

It was Cao Bin who was surprised, and Yang Qi who was stunned.

For Cao Bin, being able to negotiate peace means that as long as a certain price is paid, people here can go back safely.

For Yang Qi, Empress Dowager Xiao's sudden appearance at Tongtai Pass is a bit intriguing.

Facing the questioning of the two, Zhao Pu said: "It is because the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State appeared in Tongtai Pass that we have a chance to negotiate peace." If there is only Yelu Huge's evil star outside the gate, I am afraid that the old man has already been dismantled by him. ”

When Yang Qi heard this, he lowered his head and secretly pondered.

Cao Bin asked: "Liao agreed to the peace talks, and also put forward two conditions, what conditions?" ”

Zhao Puzheng said: "Empress Dowager Xiao asked to have a face-to-face interview with His Majesty, and also asked Huhou to be among the negotiations. ”

"Don't go!"

Yang Qi, who was thinking about the conspiracy of Empress Dowager Xiao to appear in Tongtai Pass, raised his head decisively when he heard Zhao Pu's words and firmly refused.

Although there have been many deviations in history under the influence of Yang Qi.

But the general events do not seem to have changed.

Empress Dowager Xiao invited Zhao Guangyi for an interview, and the little emperor of Liao was bound to be among those present.

Isn't this the legendary Double Dragon Society?

Those who are familiar with this paragraph know.

The Double Dragon Society is a giant pit, a giant pit set up by the Liao.

In Yang Qi's mind, that passage involuntarily appeared.

'My eldest brother suffered in front of the throne of King Song, my second brother died in Huangquan with a short sword, and my third brother was trampled by a horse and his bones ......were missing'

The eldest brother, second brother, and third brother in this passage refer to Yang Da, Yang Er, and Yang San.

The reason for this tragedy is because of DDA.

In the romance, the Liao people proposed the Double Dragon Society, and Zhao Guangyi was forced to agree.

But he was afraid that the Liao people would use some conspiracy, so he found Yang Da, who looked very similar to Zhao Guangyi, to pretend to be him and go to the meeting, which also caused the tragedy of the tragic death of the Yang brothers.

Now because of Yang Qi's relationship, many brothers of the Yang family are not here, and they can be regarded as escaping this real killing.

However, although the Yang brothers escaped this murder, it does not mean that this murder does not exist.

Since the Liao people proposed the Double Dragon Society, there will definitely be some arrangement.

Yang Qi, who knew the ending, how could he pounce on it and send him to death.

Although Yang Qi is strong in martial arts and has the ability to fight against 10,000 enemies, this does not mean that he can retreat under the heavy arrangement of the Liao people.

There were hundreds of thousands of Liao troops outside the city.

If Yang Qi really has the ability to slaughter hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, then why does he need the troops of the northwest and south?

Without diamonds, there is no porcelain work.

Yang Qi decisively rejected Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu's face became a little ugly for a while, "Huhou, it is about the lives of tens of thousands of people in Tongtai Pass, about the safety of His Majesty, and about the entire Great Song Dynasty, how can you sit idly by?" ”

Yang Qi rolled his eyes at Zhao Pu, "And then?" What does all this have to do with me? ”

"Huh!"

Zhao Pu was suddenly stunned and a little speechless.

That's right!

What does this have to do with Yang Qi?

Yang Qi sits on the four northwestern provinces, and it looks like it is about to become the seven northwestern provinces, which is comparable to one-seventh of the Great Song Dynasty, which is enough to establish a country.

What does the survival of the Great Song Dynasty have to do with him?

Since the survival of the Great Song Dynasty has nothing to do with him, what does Zhao Guangyi's safety and the lives of tens of thousands of people in Tongtai Pass have to do with him?

However, even so, Zhao Pu had to continue to persuade Yang Qi.

The attitude of the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State is very tough, and Zhao Guangyi and Yang Qi must be allowed to come forward, if there is one less person, whether the Empress Dowager Xiao will be mad, he does not dare to bet.

Zhao Pu's face changed three colors in an instant, from white to blue, and from blue to purple, and he said to Yang Qi with a slight pleading: "Huhou, even if you don't care about the life or death of everyone in Tongtai Pass, you have to be thought about by the people of the Great Song Dynasty."

Once the peace talks fail, the Liao people will inevitably invade the south on a large scale, and by that time, it will be the people of the Great Song Dynasty who will suffer. ”

Yang Qi frowned, a little annoyed in his heart, "You are using the people of the world to press me?" Why? Blame me for getting into this situation? The people who failed to keep the Great Song Dynasty also blame me?

Who licked his face and collected the taxes of the people, but could not protect them? Who took the people's money, took the people's heirs, stepped on the battlefield, and finally buried them in Liao?

Is there my responsibility in this? And why do I wipe your butts for you?

What do I owe you? ”

After a series of questions, he couldn't say a word of Zhao Pu's question.

Does Yang Qi owe Da Song anything?

No!

In turn, Da Song already owed Yang Qi a lot.

Zhao Pu lowered his head in shame.

Cao Bin and Zhao Defang also lowered their heads in shame.

The reason why they are ashamed is not because Da Song owes Yang Qi a lot.

It's Yang Qi's sentence 'Who licked his face and collected the taxes of the people, but he couldn't protect them'.

In this, not only the royal family of the Zhao family, but also these civil and military officials.

Their food and clothing, including the expenses they spent on going out to prostitutes, fighting for fortune, and so on, were all taxes from the people.

It's all their fault that it's the way it is now.

And among all of them, Yang Qi is not included.

Zhao Pu looked up at Cao Bin with an ugly face, Cao Bin seemed to feel Zhao Pu's gaze, raised his head, and said solemnly: "Since Qilang is unwilling to go, there is naturally a reason why he does not want to go." The old man will not use his feelings to force him, you don't have to look at the old man. ”

Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Defang again.

Zhao Defang smiled dryly: "The relationship between this king and Yang Yansi is still shallow, and I can't persuade ......."

Both of them were reluctant to help persuade Yang Qi.

Zhao Pu felt that it would be a waste of time for him to spend more time with Yang Qi.

After taking a deep look at Yang Qi, Zhao Pu let out a long sigh and went back to Zhao Guangyi to return his life.

And after Zhao Guangyi got the news, even if he was angry in his heart, he couldn't say it.

In the evening.

Zhao Pu was ordered to go out of Tongtai Pass again and go to the Liao army camp to negotiate with Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao expressed her regret after learning that Yang Qi would not appear, but she did not grasp this matter.

This made Zhao Pu breathe a sigh of relief.

The two sides agreed that three days later the covenant under the city would be concluded in a flat open space outside the city.

The reason why there will be three days is to give both sides time to prepare.

The heads of the two superpowers should naturally be cautious.

The two countries must not only send an equal number of guards to guard the land of the alliance, but also send people and craftsmen to build a high platform in the land of the alliance for the purpose of the alliance.

In addition, it is necessary to clear all the security risks in the land of the Alliance.

After the time of the meeting is determined.

Zhao Pu borrowed 10,000 soldiers and horses from Cao Bin to redo the guards, and he also wanted to borrow the Zamahe warriors from Yang Qi, but Yang Qi refused.

10,000 soldiers and horses left Tongtai Pass, rushed to the land of the alliance, and after cleaning up a series of wolves, insects, tigers, leopards and other wild beasts, they were stationed there.

After that, there were people, guarded by soldiers and horses, rushed to the land of the alliance and began to build a high platform.

There are three elevations that need to be built.

One is a high platform for the emperor, one is a high platform for civil and military ministers, and one is a high platform for worshipping the heavens.

In ancient times, there were not many alliances that could have third-party witnesses, so most of them would designate the third-party witness party as God.

The emperors sat on the high platform closest to the high platform of the sacrifice to the heavens as mud bodhisattvas.

The ministers of civil and military affairs deliberated on the terms and conditions on the next high platform.

After the two sides have negotiated, it will be handed over to the emperors of both sides, and they will use the seal.

In triplicate, keep one copy each, and burn the last one to God.

Three days are fleeting.

A three-foot high platform was erected, on which was placed a ceremonial vessel jointly cast by the two countries.

Around the three-zhang high platform, there are two one-zhang high platforms, and then two four-foot high platforms.

Early in the morning of the fourth day.

Everyone in Tongtai Pass woke up, except for a few people who watched Zhao Guangyi go to the alliance, the rest of the people accompanied them.

In addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses that had been sent to the land of the alliance, Cao Bin and Li Jilong each brought 10,000 people to guard Zhao Guangyi's dragon.

I have to say that Zhao Guangyi still attaches great importance to his dragon and prestige.

Even if he fled in embarrassment after being beaten before, when he wanted to see the head of the enemy country again, his gorgeous escort appeared in front of people again.

The escort battle of more than 20,000 people is far less than the previous battle of 100,000 escorts.

But it's also quite bustling.

Zhao Guangyi crawled in the dragon bowl like this and was sent to the land of the alliance.

On the city wall, Yang Qi looked at Zhao Guangyi's distant dragon, grinned, lowered his head and muttered to himself, "This time, no one will send you to die, and if you want to die, you can only die by yourself......"

"Who's going to die?"

Zhao Defang didn't know when he appeared behind Yang Qi.

Seeing Zhao Defang, Yang Qi was stunned and said, "You didn't accompany you to the alliance?" ”

Zhao Defang pursed his mouth, "Your Majesty is not worried about this king, so he let this king stay in Tongtai Pass to guard, and Shun was sent a bunch of ministers to monitor this king." ”

Yang Qiwan smiled, "This may be a good thing for you." ”

"How?"

"Perhaps, there are some things that we don't need to do, and the Liao people will help us do it."

"You...... You...... You mean......"
