Chapter 1483: The East Road of Daliao River intends to surrender to the Song Dynasty? (Second more)

Chapter 1492

At this time, Gao Shize also woke up suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly. "Zhang Xiaojie is the number one scholar in the Northern Liao Dynasty, from the official position to the prime minister. Later, he was demoted to be the governor of the Wuding Army because of Yelu Yixin's incident. Later, he was convicted of smuggling Guangji lake salt and changing the imperial edict without authorization. Zhang Xiaojie..."

"That's right, it's the old man." Zhang Xiaojie didn't take it too seriously, but stroking his almost white long beard and said with a wry smile.

"The old man was indeed relegated to Wuding Army Jiedushi because of Yelu Yixin's incident, but after that, the so-called smugglers should be in Guangji Lake Salt and change the imperial edict without authorization, but the emperor of Daliao felt that he still couldn't understand his hatred , so you add another crime to the old man, so that the old man can be deposed as a commoner."

Gao Qiu smiled and said to Zhang Xiaojie. "Whether you are that Zhang Xiaojie or not, you can put this matter aside for now. What is your relationship with that Xiao Shen? Why are you here? Please tell me."

"Xiao Shen is the son of an old friend who used to be an old friend. He has a teacher-student friendship with this old man. And this old man was influenced by Yelu Yixin, was dismissed from office by the emperor of the Daliao Dynasty, and was relegated to the people because of his crime. Xiao Shen Be wary of people looking for old people."

"What he means is that the old man has a teacher-student relationship with him, and now he can't bear to see the old man reduced to the common people, without food and clothing, so he specially invites the old man to be his teacher."

"The old man then escaped by feigning death and living in Xiao Shen's mansion to advise him. In less than ten years, he has changed from a little-known fifth-rank official to a Daliao official favored by the emperor of Daliao. Important ministers, from officials to prime ministers..."

"Afterwards, the emperor of Daliao was furious because of the defeat of the navy division. The most important thing is that Daliao lost face and needed someone to take responsibility for his crimes. The old envoy secretly instructed him to resign as prime minister and take up the post of Hedong Road. "

"Why Hedong Road?" Zhe Keshi narrowed his eyes slightly, interrupting Zhang Xiaojie's words and asked.

Zhang Xiaojie was not annoyed. Seeing that the three people had no intention of sitting down for him, he saluted the three of them with a smile, then went straight to find a cushion to sit on before continuing.

"That's because the Hedong Road is the most remote. Whether it's Zhongjing or Nanjing Road, even if it's [-] miles to rush, I'm afraid it will take nearly ten days to go back and forth. If the army comes, there will be no one. For two months, it was impossible to reach Xiazhou.

What's more, there are not many Liao troops stationed in Hedong Road, and they have fought against your country many times, and they have been defeated repeatedly, and their morale is low.Moreover, Xiazhou, its governing place, is just across the river from the Great Song Dynasty, and your country's tigers and cardinals can completely achieve it from morning to evening. "

Hearing this, Zhe Keshi took a breath like a toothache.This old guy is telling the truth, but he speaks so blatantly that he doesn't look like a courtier of the Liao Kingdom, but more like standing on the side of the Song Kingdom wholeheartedly.

And Gao Shize's expression was not very good, only Gao Lian handed Zhang Xiaojie a cup of tea to quench his thirst with a smile.

"After listening to what the old gentleman said, Gao felt that there might be a lot of hidden secrets here... Otherwise, with Xiao Shen's ability to win the favor of Liao Tian, ​​even if he loses one or two battles, it will actually be nothing. No big deal."

"What's more, the loss of Liao's naval forces had nothing to do with him at all. As for the subsequent defeat, it was really because of my Song's sharp firearms, and it had nothing to do with his Xiao Shen's ability."

"With the temperament of Yelu Hongji, the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty, although he will be furious, as long as the following are properly dealt with, maybe the big things can be turned into small ones..."

Zhang Xiaojie couldn't help praising Gao Lian when he saw Gao Lian talking in front of him. "Awesome, I never thought that Mr. Gao would be able to make such an inference just based on Zhang's few words. I admire, I really admire."

After praising Gao Qiu a few words, Zhang Xiaojie went straight to the point. "To be honest, at that time, my body, the Emperor of Liao Dynasty, was already seriously ill and could not be cured for a long time.

What's more, Xiao Shen was also quite close to Yelv Yixin in the past, but this son saw the opportunity early, and after the incident happened, he promptly put it aside, and took the initiative to report several of Yelu Yixin's confidantes, but the problem is, The emperor's grandson, however, has always been concerned about the death of his father and grandmother, and is determined to avenge his father. "

"And just a dozen days ago, the Emperor of Liao died. A few days later, Emperor Taisun Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne as emperor and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Qiantong."

All three of them couldn't help but their faces changed, but they still suppressed their shock and looked at Zhang Xiaojie who continued to talk in front of him.

While speaking, Zhang Xiaojie took out several letters-like papers from his pocket and presented them.After Gao Shi received it, he realized that it was Xiao Shen's official document handling the government affairs of Hedong Road on a daily basis, and it also had the seal of the governor of Hedong Road and his own personal seal stamped on it.

Comparing with the sincerity and sincerity just now, which seemed to want to break away from Beiliao and surrender to the Song Dynasty, the three big bosses all showed unconcealed joy in unison.

Even if he, Xiao Shen, repents when the time comes, as long as Da Song reveals these things, it will be no wonder that Xiao Shen can have a good life with the new emperor of Daliao, Yelu Yanxi.

If you add the old enmity between the newly promoted emperor Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Shen, the new enmity and the old enmity add up, it would be strange if he didn't kill Xiao Shen.

"It seems that it is indeed Xiao Shen's handwriting, but the words in his letter are too vague, how can this win the trust of the official?"

"Sir, this time I was entrusted by Xiao Shen to sneak into the Song Dynasty. This time, it was to deliver a message for him, and the second time, it was to welcome an envoy from the Song Dynasty for him..."

Zhang Xiaojie's meaning is very clear, anyway, you Da Song has already got enough handles in your hands, which shows that Xiao Shen's intention to surrender Song is sincere.

Then, as for when and how to return to the Song Dynasty, it is necessary for the Song Dynasty to send secret envoys to Hedong Road to discuss in detail.

After some words, Gao Shi arranged for Zhang Xiaojie to go to rest first, and cast his eyes on Zhe Keshi and Gao Qiu beside him.

"My lords, Zhang Xiaojie, certainly wouldn't dare to take the news of the replacement of the Northern Liao Emperor as a joke. If we infer it based on this, it seems that Xiao Shen, the head of the Northern Liao River River Road, intends to surrender to our Great Song Dynasty. It should be true..."

"This matter, we should immediately file a letter to the court for His Majesty to make a decision. After all, if we, the Song Dynasty, want to swallow this land of the Northern Liao Dynasty without any injuries, we must do it with all our strength."

"That's true, but if this Hedong Road is really willing to surrender to my Great Song, then my Great Song must take it down." Zhe Keshi nodded heavily, his eyes full of greed.

"If the Hedong Road in the Northern Liao Dynasty was taken by our Great Song Dynasty, then the land for raising horses in the Great Song Dynasty would be more than ten times larger. Today, our North Shaanxi Road produces only two to three thousand horses a year. If we can take all of the Hedong Road, then our Great Song Dynasty will never suffer from shortage of horses."

"And with this large piece of land, Xixia will soon be trapped by my big Song San bread, and they will also cut off their direct connection with Beiliao."
