Chapter 1393

Yelu Yanshou, the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty, was standing outside the gate of the palace, walking anxiously. Although he came under the imperial order of the Emperor of Northern Liao, the emperor of Song Dynasty was not something Yelu Yanshou could decide whether he was willing to see him.

He had been wandering outside for an hour, and only a famous eunuch came to the palace to tell him that the emperor had gone on a tour and was not in the palace, so he asked him to go back to the Wanguo Pavilion to rest. When the emperor had time, he would only meet him, or he would send officials to discuss with him the matter mentioned in the letter written by the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty.

This is obviously a delay. The typical delay. Yelu Yanshou, who was furious, had no intention of leaving at all. He directly told the eunuch that he had to meet the Emperor of Song today, otherwise the consequences would be borne by the Song State.

Although he put aside such harsh words, the eunuch who entered the palace gate to reply did not appear again. The closed palace gate was like Yelu Yanshou's mood at this moment: he was so blocked.

After another half an hour, the palace gate finally opened, and what came out was a very young eunuch, and he was surrounded by the two young officials in the verdant clothes.

Yelu Yanshou had a dark face and finally stopped, looking at the three people coming towards him.

Ma Shang, who was in charge of the horse, walked to Yelu Yanshou, bowed slightly, turned around and recommended. "Ambassador Xiao, this is my elder brother of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, His Highness Duan, this is my county duke of the Song Dynasty, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and your Majesty has the order to have the full power of disputes with the Liao Dynasty."

"Why can't your emperor of Song see me?" Yelu Yanshou had a blue face and glanced at Wang Yang and Duan Wang Zhao Ji. He always felt that the smiles on the faces of these two guys were so hypocritical and unpleasant.

"Sorry, the emperor has important national affairs to deal with, so I and Your Highness came to negotiate with Ambassador Xiao with the order." Wang Yang smiled and took a step forward, bowed to Yelu Yanshou, and explained sincerely.

"What, if Ambassador Xiao feels that my identities are not worthy of negotiating with you, then we will say goodbye first, wait for His Majesty to open a court meeting and re-determine the candidates for negotiating with Ambassador Xiao."

Yelu Yanshou looked at Wang Yang, groaned and shouted in a low voice. "Okay, since the emperor of Song insisted on doing this, I will talk to you well. Why did your Song State offend me for no reason?!"

"..." Wang Yang suddenly raised his head, then raised his right arm to block the hot sunlight, and looked around.

This look made Yelu Yanshou almost burst into anger, and the veins on his forehead thundered. "Mr. Wang, what are you doing?"

"Ambassador Xiao, don't you think it's too hot here? What's more, it's really inappropriate to talk about the major issues of diplomatic relations between the two countries in this public place. Why not, let's go to the Wanguo Pavilion now, go to the place where you stay in Ambassador Xiao to have a detailed chat, or go to the public room of the Ministry of Rites to sit in?"

Seeing Wang Yang's appearance as if he was not anxious or dry, he was not too anxious or slow, Yelu Yanshou gradually restrained his anger and suddenly thought of a question. "Are you the former Shaanxi North Road Strategy and Pacifier Wang Yang Wang Wushan?"

"That's right, ambassador Xiao has heard of Wang's name?" Wang Yang nodded naturally and replied with a smile.

Now, Yelu Yanshou finally calmed down, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Wang Yang Wang Wushan, who was talented and capable of civil and military affairs, was famous for his military command, and was famous for his political wise men. He even made the Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Great Liao Dynasty say Wang Yang Wang Wushan who had won Wang Wushan and won 100,000 tigers.

"Xiao still thinks it is. It turns out that it is Lord Wang. I have been revered for a long time. I don't expect that Emperor Song will actually ask Lord Wang to deal with Xiao." At this moment, Yelu Yanshou immediately understood.

Who is Wang Yang and Wang Wushan? In recent years, his reputation has almost been regarded as the most mentioned officials of the Song State among the countries.

Whenever he is mentioned, it is mostly related to war, either against the Battle of Xia or against Liao. This person is tenacious and is the most powerful official in the war among the young officials of the Song Dynasty.

The Emperor of Song Dynasty asked such a person to negotiate with him. Is this the rhythm of negotiating? At least Yelu Yanshou didn't believe it. Perhaps what he had to encounter when he went to the envoy to Song Ting this time was far more difficult than he thought.

"Because I am currently serving in the Ministry of Rites, and the affairs of diplomatic relations with various countries are just within my duties." Wang Yang looked at the Northern Liao envoy who looked at him with shocked face and said slowly.

Now the Song Dynasty has the initiative in negotiations. Let’s talk. First, the Liaodong Peninsula belongs to the Song Dynasty. This is unquestionable.

Second, it is impossible to withdraw from the Liaodong Peninsula, because the first point has already clarified the issue of sovereignty.

Then, we can start negotiations around the above two points.

The negotiations were very difficult. Yelu Yanshou felt that he had never encountered such a negotiating opponent in his life. He had also served as a mission to the Song Dynasty in the past, which also represented the Liao Dynasty's trip to the Western Xia.

But he has never faced such a tough and slippery opponent. Yelu Yanshou's sad discovery is that the current Daliao has no means to threaten the State of Song. Perhaps this is the reason why the State of Song dares to be so despised by itself.

However, Yelu Yanshou could not return without success, or in other words, he could not come with murderous intent and went back in shame, so he could only continue to entangle with Song Ting.

Only in this way can Song Ting relax his vigilance and ignore the strategies that Bei Liao was secretly implementing on the Liaodong Peninsula.

"How is it? Is there any new movement?" An elite scout cavalry of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty quietly climbed onto a steep hill about ten miles southeast of Chenzhou, then lifted up a camouflage cover covered with weeds and soil and drilled in.

In front of this hiding place, which is only about four feet in square meter, is an observation port with a height of about one foot and a width of about three feet. The companion inside put down the telescope in his hand, rubbed his tired eyes and shook his head.

"There is no movement, I'm still the same as before. I just don't know if there will be any spies sneaking out to Ningzhou after dark."

"It depends on the king who ruled them. We only need to be responsible for doing our own duties and keep an eye on whether there are any changes or movements in the city at Chenzhou City."

Above the Chenzhou city wall, the guards of Chenzhou looked at the vast primeval forest around them, covered with trees or steep cliffs, and only along the coast and the dirt road were unobstructed.

Even now, Song Ting's army has never appeared in his sight, but the guards of Chenzhou are still very worried.

The low city wall in Chenzhou is similar to that in Ningzhou and Fuzhou. To put it nicely, it is the city wall, but to put it bluntly, it is the small city surrounded by soil with a height of meter.
