Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 920 The past was really a beautiful era (second more)
Chapter 929

Therefore, a secret decree was issued, and a large number of messengers were sent south to order those semi-official businessmen who did business in Song Ting and the diplomatic officials of the Liao Kingdom who stayed in Song Ting to bribe the officials of Song Ting.

I hope they can persuade the emperor of the Song Dynasty to let the Song Dynasty take the initiative to propose a peace agreement and give Daliao a face and a step.

As for Daliao, at least it can still gain an advantage in negotiations.

But as it turned out, the young emperor of Song Court was not at all righteous. He never agreed. He even argued with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty for more than half a month. After that, for a while, the queen was worried about having a baby. For this reason, he refused to discuss the matter.

Procrastinating and procrastinating, it's so fucking delayed until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it can be said to be extremely detrimental to Daliao if this procrastination continues.

Therefore, we must find a way to solve this problem, but we want Liao to initiate a peace proposal.This old face is really hard to wipe away.

And among the scheming ministers in the court, some people also guessed the emperor Yelu Hongji's thoughts, but they all had the idea of ​​being wise and safe, and they would never initiate it first, because the proponents would very likely In the future, it will become a target for the whole country to vent their anger.

Even if he died, he would be angrily dug up and flogged by those stupid people who didn't know the truth.

Besides, even if he is willing to sacrifice his life for the country, what if he guesses the emperor's will wrongly?Provoking the emperor's fury will be a dead word at that time, so ah, ten thousand words are worse than silence.

"Could it be that there is no new strategy to break the situation?" Yelu Hongji rarely stayed in the study, staring at the huge map in a daze.

Beside him were Yelu and Luwo who had been deprived of their positions as commander-in-chief. Although he had not been able to be restored by the emperor, he was frequently summoned by the emperor to express his opinions on the current battle situation.

Moreover, during this period, when the taxes and grain production of Nanjing Road had been greatly reduced, Yelu Hongji almost summoned Yelu and Luwo more and more frequently.

"Your Majesty, my brother feels that nowadays, the Song court's defenses are very tight, and we have lured the enemy several times, but the Song people have remained standing still. They just stick to their own defense line and never take a step forward."

"In this way, even if there are thousands of good strategies, there is nothing we can do..." The analysis of Yelu and Luwo made Yelu Hongji's face look even more ugly.

"He Luwo, you are my brother, there are some things that I want to hear from you."

Seeing Yelu Hongji's eyes on him, Yelu and Luwo nodded. "Your Majesty, just ask, and my younger brother will know everything and say everything."

"Do you think my Daliao, now that the country is full of disasters, the people are in dire straits, the people are displaced, and the treasury is plummeting, should this war continue?"

"This..." Yelu and Luwo couldn't help but hesitated for a moment.

"Don't forget that what I want to hear is your sincere words. Here, there are no monarchs and ministers, only you and my brother." Yelu Hongji sighed wearily.

"I know you are still blaming me for what happened before, but if you hadn't been impulsive at the beginning, how could I, Daliao, have fallen into such a dilemma?"

"Your Majesty..." Yelu and Luwo fell to the ground, gritted their teeth, raised their heads and whispered. "Your brother thinks that the battle opportunity has been missed, and more attention should be shifted to the governance of the people's livelihood, so that the people can recuperate and live..."

"I understand. However, Song Ting's little Zhao Xu is so treacherous. So many important officials in Song Ting tried their best to advocate for peace, but he just ignored it. This is not like what Song Emperors did in the past..."

"Whether it is the Emperor Rensong, Emperor Yingzong, or his father Emperor Shenzong..."

That era was really beautiful, and there was no need for great Liao Daxing swordsmen at all. It was only necessary to put on a posture and make a posture of intimidation.

And they would use their sharp tongues, use all kinds of means, and use countless principles to persuade the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and finally made concessions to the Liao Dynasty again and again.

But this time, this trick didn't work. It's so illogical and unscientific. Is this still the Da Song I know?Just when the two brothers were at a loss.

The notarization of Cheng'an in Daliao, the secret letter sent by the messenger sent by the empress of Xixia, and the letter of credence of the prince of Xixia, were sent to the palace of Daliao with almost half an hour's time difference. .

After Yelu, Lu Wo and Yelu Hongji finished reading the credentials and the secret letter, they both agreed with each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is really a road that never ends. Your majesty's great blessing. My brother is thinking hard here, but I don't want to. The little Li Qianshun from Xixia can't hold it anymore..."

"Even if I, Daliao, have borne the expenses of the army, Xixia still can't support it... I'm really disappointed." Yelu Hongji, who got cheap and behaved, even pretended to be a ghost. With a look of indignation, he threw the Xixia Guoshu on the imperial case.

But for Yelu and Luwo's ​​words, he agrees very much, it seems that the words touched his heart.I had to go to bed in the middle of the night, and someone brought me a pillow, which was really timely.

"What your Majesty said is very true. The Lord Xia really disappointed me, Daliao. It is in vain that Daliao has paid so much for him in Xixia." Yelu and Luwo, the old fritters, naturally knew it after hearing Xiange Yayi, the tone immediately changed in the next sentence.

"What are you waiting for, why don't you let me back down?" Yelu Hongji squinted his eyes, and glanced at the few trusted eunuchs in the study room, and soon, only Yelu, Lu Wo and others were left in the study room. Two brothers, Yelu Hongji.

"He Luwo, tell me, what is the plan of the Lord of the Xia Kingdom?"

"Xi Xia's actions are in line with the current situation, and it is equivalent to giving me a step back from Daliao. However, if my Daliao pushes the boat along the way, I am afraid that it will damage my Daliao's prestige." Yelu and Luwo After thinking about it for a long time, he slowly shook his head and said.

"After all, the result of this battle against the Song Dynasty is really disappointing. If we just withdraw our troops in such a sad manner, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will find it difficult to explain it. If we win the surrounding tribes, I am afraid that they will despise me and Daliao a few points."

"This statement is very much in line with what I want, and I absolutely agree. If we really acquiesce to Xia Guo to do this, then I, Daliao, will really, really lose face."

"What your Majesty said is true. Therefore, if I, Daliao, want to retreat with dignity, I am afraid we will need to do something..."

"Tell me about it with Luwo, let me go into details."

"I feel that, in order to make it appear that I have no choice but to withdraw from Daliao, Xixia must teach me a lesson for the world to see. Only in this way can I shock those capricious people who want to follow Xixia's example."
