Chapter 31: Stopping the Clouds and Listening to the Song (17)

It's crazy.

The first thought that flashed through Xiao Xi's mind was to doubt the deputy's sanity.

Is this to take refuge in the Southern Dynasty?

He further speculated, and even forgot for a moment to worry about whether he had been used as a scapegoat by those in the court.

Just like Han Gang secretly pointed out, if such a big thing happens, after returning to China, his family is likely to be the object of anger. However, after returning to the prison, he will inevitably be punished.

But no matter how much he is punished, it basically stops here. After all, the family is a big family in the palace of Shang's father, and it will not be greatly affected by the mistakes of one of its children.

It's just that if Zhegan is confused here and wants to take refuge in the Song people and escape responsibility, then it will be a real disaster for the family. If you are a good person, I am afraid that you will become a herdsman.

But even now, when the two countries have already fought head-to-head, the Southern Dynasty will not casually leave behind an insignificant fugitive. It's not that the land is rolled up and the people under the tent come to vote together, there is a lonely family, there is no value that can be used at all, where is it possible for the Southern Dynasty to leave the face painted with the word loyalty and filial piety alone?

Xiao Xi wanted to stop the drying. If he really escapes, his own family will have to eat and hang. But as soon as the thought turned, he hesitated and stopped behind the door.

That's not a good excuse to get away with it!

The cronies who came to report the news were surprised when they saw Xiao Xi standing still at the door, "Lin Ya? ”

"You go down first." Xiao Xi waved his hand and turned around and sat down. It's better to wait and see.

The previous mistakes can be attributed to the cunning of the Song people, and he himself was stupid. But now colluding with the Song people is a real crime. If he really defected, he would only have to bear the sin of negligence when he returned to the country, and the rest of the fault could be pushed on as much as possible. There is a return, and I am mobilizing my relatives and friends, and it is not impossible to get out.

As for what Zhigan is looking for Han Gang to do, Xiao Xi will not care. Speaking of those clichΓ©s, Xiao Xi can even help Han Gang spell out a statement.

What other ideas can Han Gang give to Zhegan? As long as the Song people in the six states of Xiping refuse to spit it out, there will never be any luck at all. Compared with the vast Liao, the land of the six states is not large, and the loss of soldiers and horses is not large, but Shang's father has lost a lot of face.

In the matter of abolition of the establishment of human ministers, Yelu Yixin acted as if he was walking on thin ice on the abyss, and now he has lost face, do you want him not to get it back?

Xiao Xi suddenly sneered in the unmanned hall, it was a fool's dream!

……………………

Han Gang didn't know what Xiao Xi was thinking, but he also felt that it was crazy to break dry.

If it is wise enough, at least he should send his right-hand man to intermediate, instead of coming to him in front of Xiao Xi, and it is still an interview.

Meeting with the deputy envoy of Liao State alone, Han Gang can not care, this is within his authority. But if it is placed on Zhigan, it is a sin, how can the deputy envoy bypass the main envoy? Han Gang didn't think that Xiao Xi would prove it.

It's just that Han Gang still didn't hesitate much, and directly nodded and agreed.

Even if he is a madman, as long as he is still a slave of Yelu Yixin's family, he has enough use value.

Zhigan stood in front of the courtyard gate and welcomed Han Gang into the hall, although he was a rough man, but the etiquette was estimated to have been trained, and there were no problems, giving Han Gang enough respect.

It's just that the spirit of the folded dry is different from some time ago, like a frosted eggplant, or rather, a live water dog. The gloomy atmosphere hung over the whole person, and the rooms where the guests were received were dyed in the same hue.

Hot tea was served. Zhigan wanted to speak a few times, but he stopped talking a few times, but the eyes that came over him were a little begging, but they were very pitiful. It seems that the pressure is not small, and it is estimated that there will be no good results after returning home.

Han Gang saw it in his eyes, but he sighed a little. After all, he is still on his own side, such a person is a good communication channel, and he must try to protect it as much as possible. Seeing that he couldn't wait for the fold to dry, he didn't delay: "If Han Gang remembers correctly, the deputy envoy seems to be a person in the palace tent of your father?" ”

"That's right." Han Gang asked knowingly, and his spirit was shocked, and he immediately nodded back.

Han Gang asked him if he was a slave of Yelu Yixin's family, which made Zhigan see a little hope. Now, this is the only identity he can rely on.

"Then your lord's thoughts, the deputy envoy should have some understanding, right?"

"Father Shang's thoughts, where can I and other villains guess." Origan shook his head. It's just that seeing Han Gang's face cold, he hurriedly said, "But when it comes to the face of the ear, it is more or less a little bit of knowing the way." ”

"That's good." If you want to do it for yourself, Han Gang will naturally not let it go, "Then what does your lord think of the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao?" Do you want to enjoy peace forever, or are you ready to fight it out? ”

"Of course it's too peaceful!"

"In the eighth year of Xining, taking advantage of the famine in our dynasty, we raised troops to fight for the north. Xining ten years, help Western Xia attack my Fengzhou. In the second year of Yuanfeng, he seized half of the country in Western Xia, and our officers and soldiers worked hard, but the income was only equivalent to that of your country. To this day, it is the first to raise troops to the south and attack our military city. Everything is everything, is this the peace that Shang's father asks for?! ”

"......" was speechless for a while, but his confused eyes slowly changed. He found that he was too weak, and that he would only be led away, and there would be no good results.

"I'm not pursuing anything, what is needed now is to solve the problem. To put it another way, does the deputy envoy think that the dispute between the two countries will turn into war after the most troublesome is beneficial or disadvantageous to your lordship? Which result do you like? ”

"Father Shang is only acting for the sake of Da Liao. Whatever is beneficial to Da Liao, Father Shang will naturally choose. "The folding dry becomes slightly tough. He is a house slave, fighting for the interests of the Lord is the foundation of his life, even if he wholeheartedly joins the Song people, he may not be able to save his life.

"If your lord acts only for the peace of Daliao, then you need a stability even more." Han Gang could hear the change in his tone, and smiled slightly, he likes smart people, "The deputy envoy should still remember, when the Great Song Dynasty was trapped in Yuan Hao's rebellion, your country also transferred troops to the border. At that time, the rich minister sent an envoy by order, and said to Emperor Xingzong, the north and south are good, and the coins are endless every year, all of which belong to the people, and it is 'the people who get their benefits, and the ministers have nothing to gain'. If Song Liao goes to war, then 'the profit will go to the subordinates, and the people will be in trouble'. ”

Han Gang had used almost the same reason to persuade him before, and now he was repeating the same old tune, in order to remind him further. But Han Gang's words seemed to have a deep meaning that made Zhigan's heart tremble.

'Lord'?! 'Your Majesty'?!

Breaking dry and messing up, this young Hanlin bachelor did not mean something, or was he showing the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty.

Han Gang did not delay, "Like Xiao Xi, who is greedy for merit and profit, only for his own selfishness, he hijacks the noble lord, so that he has today's situation." If your country's soldiers and horses in Xingling do not go south, how can our officials and troops go north? Although the current endgame is not your lord's intention, but Xiao Xi and his ilk have caused disaster, but in the past seven or eight years, have your country's various actions really benefited Daliao? What is gained is only a small benefit, but what is lost is the trust that has accumulated between the two countries for decades. Even if you can't fight this time, what about the next time? There was that group of greedy people who forced Shang's father to threaten the Great Song Dynasty again and again, and the Northern War was only a matter of time or time. ”

Han Gang pushed the responsibility on Xiao Xi, and listened silently without saying a word.

"And if your lord raises troops to attack my Great Song Dynasty, can you really see the land on the south bank of the Yellow River? If you lose, it's all over. In the Liao Kingdom, there are few people who are eyeing each other. Although the tiger can deter all beasts, once there is an injury or illness, it is difficult to support, and even the fox can bully the door. But this is also your lord's chance to do it once and for all. ”

"But what about Xiping Liuzhou?" Origan asked.

That's the key question. In order to solve the imminent war, there must be a definitive conclusion on the ownership of Xingling.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Anyway, let's sit down and talk. Instead of fighting and killing, it is in the interests of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao to sit down and talk. Han Gang said, "It's not difficult to solve the matter of reviving spirits. Emperor Taizu of our dynasty once set up a pile warehouse, intending to redeem Yanyun's hometown with the silver silk in the library, but unfortunately he failed to fulfill his wish. Now follow this method to solve the dispute between the spirits, it depends on whether your lord is willing or not. ”

His eyes became sharp, and he locked the fold dry: "Xingling and the Black Mountain River Land were originally obtained by your country empty-handed, and they picked up the cheap of our dynasty, and now the Black Mountain River Land is where your lord's palace tent is located, and my country has no intention of taking it." But the belonging of Xingling ...... It's still something to talk about. ”

Han Gang's words can only be said here, it is impossible to say whether it can be done, and it is absolutely impossible for Yelu Yixin to admit that Xingling returned to the Song Dynasty.

The key is to win.

"Don't have too many illusions, get ready for war!"

After returning from Dutingyi, Han Gang said this to the visiting Su Song.

If you don't fight a good battle, Yelu Yixin will not sit down and talk about it, and it is impossible for her to calm down and listen to people. Just like someone has hysteria, a crisp slap is the best cure.

"Can you win?" Su Song asked.

"What does it mean to win?" Han Gang asked rhetorically, "Withdraw the army, annihilate the enemy, or destroy the country?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What if you just want to quit the army? ”

"Then there's no need to worry too much." Han Gang has strong confidence.

The war of the whole country is not something that can be started by the emperor and the powerful ministers. Although it can be said that Liao's military style has always been due to the fact that the grain is given to the enemy, and the materials and grain are all snatched from the enemy, it still takes two or three months to mobilize sufficient troops from the territory of 10,000 miles.

Yelu Yixin led his troops to be stationed on Nanjing Road, and his original intention was to make a threatening gesture. Han Gang was surprised by what he did, and the Liao Imperial Court headed by Yelu Yixin would be the result if he could think that this would be the result after some extortion according to the usual practice.

It is safe to say that Liao's preparations for all-out war were almost nil. If Yelu Yixin soon waved his troops south, it would only be pure revenge. And once he is ready to fully mobilize, Da Song's side will not be slower than him.
