Great Zhou Empress

Seeing Xiao Liege's angry appearance, Xue Zhijing was both distressed and happy, but not guilty.

After all, the emotion of guilt often comes from thinking that she has done something wrong, and Xue Zhijing doesn't think she has done something wrong.

She just felt that after seeing each other for a long time, Xiao Liege was so angry with her that he couldn't express his heart to each other properly when they met again, so naturally she felt a little distressed.

It's just that, apart from this heartache, seeing Xiao Liege's face made her very happy.

Man, what a complex animal.

Xiao Liege really had nothing to do with Xue Zhijing, she had rehearsed it a thousand times in her mind, wanted to pick Xue Zhijing up, and bite her hard, but when she saw Xue Zhijing, she just stood there and gave birth to her own baby. Angry, nothing can be done.

It was Xue Zhijing who stood up and said slowly, "Xiao Liege, you may not know that I really don't want to be enemies with you. Sometimes I am also very melancholy, why we were born in two hostile countries, and in this Dacheng world For a while, I have been thinking all the time, what kind of method can we use to prevent the two of us from fighting each other, once the swords meet, I always feel that the two of us will never go back. "

Saying so, Xue Zhijing's mood immediately fell down.

Xiao Liege's mood also began to gradually decline following her depressed mood.

Although Xue Zhijing is not young in heart, she has always been very sincere emotionally, so she also devoted herself to Xiao Liege back then, but she is not just a teenage girl, she knows that there are still people in the world There are more important things than feelings.

But it doesn't mean that she will remain indifferent when facing her beloved lover.

Xue Zhijing lowered his eyes, then raised them again, with sadness in his eyes, "Baby, I don't know if you really understand me, I remember when we first met outside Xiongzhou City, I was very I don't want you to use war to deal with Dacheng, I have already asked you if there is another way."

Xiao Liege's chest heaved rapidly, but he also endured listening to Xue Zhijing's words.

"It's the same now. I can tell you that the Marine Corps I trained was a strategy I thought of that didn't require us to fight each other. The Marine Corps is a sword I stabbed into the Liao Kingdom. I hope you If we can calm down under the danger of this sword, we can have peace talks." Xue Zhijing said.

This is a deterrent.

It's like two people fighting, one of them is strong and strong, and pinches the other's throat, while the one whose throat is pinched takes out a dagger from his arms and puts it on the other's neck .

Obviously, the dagger seems to be more intimidating.

"Tell me, what conditions do you want?" Xiao Liege asked.

"It's very simple. You retreat to the Xiongzhou defense line, maintain the status quo, and promise not to attack Dacheng again."

Xiao Liege sneered and said, "Impossible, the most I can agree is to maintain the border along the Huaihe River as the border between the two countries, and also increase the amount of money, money, and silk we give each year."

Xue Zhijing shook his head, "Honey, your condition is too harsh, I can't agree to it."

"If you can't promise, you have to agree. This place was brought down by me, and it is mine. If you Dacheng can't hold the country, then give it to me. I can hold it."

As he said that, Xiao Liege added angrily, "I can't figure it out, why do you insist on following their Dacheng little emperor and queen dowager? When I bring down the whole Dacheng, you can also be a Liao native. With your current strength, you can be named a Marquis in our Liao Kingdom, and none of those nobles will treat you like they used to."

"Baby, don't you understand, I just don't like your Liao culture and way of doing things."

Xue Zhijing said, "Slavery, what you grab is your own, and the hierarchy is strict. Don't you think this kind of culture is very unreasonable? The country and culture I like is that everyone is equal and respects each other. All identities, A society where people of different genders and races can live freely and develop their full potential. In Dacheng, at least I still have the possibility to build such a country. In your Liao country, can I? Don’t you know you How stubborn is Liao culture?"

"Xue Zhijing!"

Xiao Liege was very angry again, but she knew in her heart that Xue Zhijing was right.

But she has always grown up in such an environment and culture, and she is the supreme ruler, how can she feel what freedom and respect are?

After a long time, Xiao Liege calmed down and said, "Our Liao Kingdom is a nation of horses, and the most elite legions follow my king's tent. Our Liao Kingdom has a vast territory and the northern part is extremely cold. I don't believe it. Your [-]-strong navy Can occupy the entire Liao Kingdom."

"Emperor Xiao Derui was left in Shangjing by you, right?" Xue Zhijing asked with a smile.

Xiao Liege frowned.

Xiao Liege sent his eldest nephew Xiao Derui to stay in the capital to learn how to deal with government affairs, but he didn't expect that at this time, he would become his weakness.

If Xue Zhijing's navy went ashore, if they were fast, they would be able to reach Shangjing in a few days, but since he was in the south, even if he wanted to send his troops back to help, it would be too late.

"The city of Shangjing is strong, and your 10 people may not be enough to see." Although Xiao Liege was a little worried in his heart, he couldn't relax his mouth, "Besides, I have crossed your defense line here, I can guarantee that ten thousand You can take your Jiankang City in just a few days, and it is said that the sluggish little emperor of your Dacheng has only one young son who is only a hundred days old, you say, when I give them a pot, who do you still pledge allegiance to?"

Xue Zhijing said calmly, "Then I will be the emperor myself, and you won't get any favors."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Liege was startled.

Xue Zhijing himself was also shocked.

She didn't know that there was already such an idea in her subconscious mind.

Although she is not from this era and has not received the traditional education of loyalty to the emperor, she clearly remembers that she has never had such an idea.

Could it be because of that strange baby?

But when such a thought arises, there is no going back. If you become the emperor yourself, many things are indeed easier to handle, and any policies you want to promote will be smoother.

And Xiao Liege did not expect that Xue Zhijing was much more unexpected than she imagined.

Empress?

In Xiao Liege's cognition, it has never happened before.

Before Xiao Liege could think about anything else, Xue Zhijing continued, "Honey, the place where I was sold as a slave last time was to the east of your Liao Kingdom. I was sold to a tribe called Shiwei Be a slave to farm the land. I know that the tribes in the east, in fact, are not very controlled, right?"

Xiao Liege: "???"

Xue Zhijing smiled, "That tribe is more primitive than the life of the Liao Kingdom, but it is wild enough. You said that we cannot contact them on land. Now that my marines have blocked your coastline, I can easily contact them. Yes. We should be able to provide them with some food, weapons and military guidance, and I can guarantee that within two years, they will gather together and become a serious threat to the eastern part of the Liao Kingdom."

Xiao Liege: "???"

Xue Zhijing, count yourself as cruel.

There is no other way, Xiao Liege has almost decided to give in.

She will also calculate the costs and benefits. Originally, the Northern Central Plains area has already been conquered, and all the nobles are ready to move. If she forces her to go to Jiankang again, it will not only consume the main force of their Khitan tribe, but will also destroy them. Let the nobles fight again for profit, and it is estimated that the Liao Kingdom will fall apart because of this.

However, the concession at this time cannot be so easy, and sufficient compensation must be obtained.

Therefore, Xiao Liege retreated temporarily, but he did not let Xue Zhijing go, saying that he would talk to her again tomorrow.

Xue Zhijing had no choice but to ask his assistant to bring the news back, don't let Yuan Jin, who was worried about her, act rashly, and he was fine.

At this time, on the eastern coast of Liao Kingdom, Zhao Wutong commanded the fleet to dock on an island.

In this sea area, she is the king, and she is familiar with everywhere.

Although this island has no property, it has a bay enough for all ships to sail in to avoid the wind and waves.

"Hurry up and put away these straw figures. I guess it will rain at night. Don't get wet and get wet. It will be uncomfortable if it smells."

Zhao Wutong greeted his subordinates, as well as the students of the Military Academy that Xue Zhijing arranged for her.

These people followed her order and went to the various ships to act.

It turns out that there are 10 people on these ships.

Some are Zhao Wutong and her men, half of the students of the Military Academy, 3000 people from the Shenji Battalion, and some southern sailors.

The rest are straw figurines they made with grass, and some old armors were hung on the surrounding straw figurines.

Zhao Wutong and students from the military academy formed a command team, stayed on each ship, and the rest were evenly distributed, and then drove the sea ship.

Because of the distance, people on the ground looked up at the ship from a distance, and couldn't tell whether it was a real person or a fake person on it.

Asking Zhao Wutong to help her train the navy and put on a show was a deal that Xue Zhijing made with her last time. Zhao Wutong reluctantly agreed, and he was quite serious about the operation.

It is indeed true that Xue Zhijing wants to be a Marine Corps, and the various plans for the Marine Corps are also true, but this is really hard work. The students she is currently training from the military academy and the 3000 people from the Shenji Battalion may be able to do it Half of the tasks are enough, and all kinds of skills still need to be proficient.

The task Xue Zhijing gave them was to seal off the coastline of the Liao Kingdom and expel all merchant ships. If there was news from her, they would go to the Shiwei tribe in the east to make contact.

All the actions don't require them to fight hand to hand, at most they send a small team of agents to act.

With Liao's current maritime strength equivalent to zero, this strategy can be said to have a high probability of success.

The only thing to guard against is that all approaching merchant ships must be forced away, and they cannot be allowed to find out their own reality, after all, they are essentially paper tigers.

Fortunately, Ayla equips every ship with long-range weapons, including bed crossbows, and trebuchets that can throw explosive fireballs and fire caltrops, allowing these sergeants to attack without landing.

If Xiao Liege found out that Xue Zhijing used such a "fake dagger" to threaten her, he would probably be really angry.
