The broadband cat head broke yesterday and couldn’t access the Internet. I will make up for it today.

Fu Bi gritted his teeth in his heart, but secretly warned himself to be calm.

Before coming, Zheng Lang had a conversation with Fu Bi. Zheng Lang repeatedly analyzed that it could not be analyzed by later history, it was unconvincing and strange. Through the analysis of the troops and the envoys, the Khitan was like the Song Dynasty, with the ministers of the war and the ambassadors. The army actually sent envoys to Youzhou, which showed that the lords had the upper hand.

However, the pro-war faction should not be underestimated.

So the situation that the Khitan emperor has repeated over and over again.

The victory of the two battles last year will play some role.

The Khitan masters and ministers sent their ministers to see the tenacity of the Song army through these two battles. After fighting for so long, although they brought pressure to the people, they did not reach the limit like Western Xia. For example, the pressure of the people in Western Xia reached seven points, and the Song Dynasty barely reached two points. The Song Dynasty squeezed and increased the pressure of the people to five points. With the tenacious spirit of the Song army, even if the Khitan wins, it will be a tragic victory, and it will not be worth the loss.

The Khitan war faction can also see something. Since China's unification, the Qin and Han Dynasties have been to Cao Wei, the Five Dynasties, Ten Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties cannot be counted. Then to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they have faced many powerful foreign enemies, especially the Huns and Turks, which were once no less powerful than the current Khitans. Then they have never surrendered. Not to mention that the small Western Xia in their eyes, the ingratitude does not count. A country with a big egg invaded many times. The Song army could only passively respond to the battle at home and hardly dared to make the army enter the Western Xia territory. It proved in disguise that the Song Dynasty was weak.

Are there any considerations between the two, and very few. Even the Song Dynasty rarely starts thinking about the two at the same time, how can we expect the Khitan to have such a comprehensive person?

The peace faction seeks peace, while the war faction becomes more important.

This is the challenge I will encounter when I come to Khitan.

We cannot think that the peace faction has the upper hand and say that we should be at peace. Let’s show sincerity and fight if we want to fight. Our Song Dynasty is waiting for you. Then the talks will inevitably collapse. Maybe we have not returned to the Song Dynasty and the Khitan army will attack the three gates.

Zheng Lang had another ruthless saying in his heart.

Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu what to do if Cao's army came. Zhou Yu said war, would Sun Quan go and listen to Zhang Zhao's muttering again?

What is the emperor? At the very least, there is the right to make a decision. If there is no right to make a decision, what is the role of the emperor? It is better to realize Luo Gu's republic system and Dashi's white-clothed caliphate system.

If you repeat this over and over again, can the Song Dynasty add an extra benefit to the Khitan? Instead, it will make the Song Dynasty monarch and ministers angry and look down on it.

But as the party involved, Fu Bi is the most miserable.

He held back his anger and said, "The Emperor Gaozu of Jin used Lu Long to bribe the Khitan, and Zhou Shizong regained Guannan. It was a matter of another dynasty. It was ninety years since the Song Dynasty started. If each person seeks a place in another dynasty, would it be the benefit of the Northern Dynasty?"

Do you Khitan really want to make plans to make money with things from another generation? So before the Later Jin Dynasty, whose territory was this? Not only were the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun not yours, but also the territory of the Tang Dynasty, including Yingyang in Liaodong, all of them belonged to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Your fiefdoms were rewarded by the Tang Dynasty.

I can only say implicitly.

If you say it directly, if you don’t know how to deal with this little emperor, you will turn against him on the spot.

The ball was kicked back.

Yelu Zongzhen also changed the topic and asked: "Yuan Hao married our country's princess and was a vassal of our Khitan. Why didn't he notify me of the Southern Dynasty?"

"Did you notify our dynasty of the Northern Dynasties to attack Goryeo and Hei Shui?" Fu Bi asked back. Hei Shui is the Bohai Kingdom. Before the Bohai Kingdom fell, it was in charge of the Song Dynasty to seek the two countries to fight against Khitan. Goryeo exchanged the support of the Song Dynasty and also paid tribute to the Song Dynasty. Of course, the Khitans could not inform the Song Dynasty to conquer Hei Shui and Goryeo. But if this continues, it will greatly smear the face of this little emperor. Fu Bi also changed this topic and said: "The emperor sent his ministers to pay homage to Your Majesty. It turned out that he did not know that Yuan Hao and his younger brother were in marriage. Because he was ungrateful and attacked our border, he would cause him to have troubles. I also had troubles. If he attacked, he would hurt his brothers. If he did not attack, he would not bear to sit idly by the officials and the people would hurt him. I wonder what to do?"

The Ming place is a discernment. But no, there is also a subtle voice. Since your Khitan is stretching out your head for your vassal ministers, why don’t you care about it and everyone stops fighting, and they are in peace. Hello, he is good, why bother to put it in and make it boring?

Of course, this was also one of the conditions of the Song Dynasty.

Liao Xingzong was very interesting and thought for a while. As an emperor, he was not the kind of hero who created great achievements. He was very similar to Zhao Zhen. Although Zhao Zhen was weak in diplomacy, he created the most peaceful and richest era in the Song Dynasty, and his cultural, economic and scientific thoughts were truly prosperous from Zhao Zhen's hands. Yelu Zong was really not as good as him, but as an emperor, he was not considered a foolish emperor.

Although he was a little bit obedient, he also had his own wisdom. He thought for a while and said, "Yes, Yuan Hao was a foe, how could the Song Dynasty not attack?"

The people of Xixia deserve to be beaten. You Song Dynasty has the ability to be beaten. I want my ten counties in Guannan. How about your Song Dynasty and Xixia affairs if you don’t interfere?

After saying that, he took his ministers back.

Putting aside the illusion of appearance and analyzing the essence of it can only reveal that Yelu Sect is really brainless.

He really wanted to do something and show his power to the Central Plains Dynasty, but the ministers' advice made him hesitate. But how bad would Fu Bi feel in the mood when he was in the situation?

Fu Bi sat in the tent and looked at the distant mountain of Gengcui Heishan (mostly the Liao lords were not in the imperial city, but in the four seasons of Nabo, Xia Nabo avoided hunting, and was mostly in Tuer Mountain and Heishan). He was in a very bad mood.

Before he left, Zheng Lang said: "Brother Fu should be strong in this journey."

In fact, Fu Bi was in this situation. Although there were some flaws in this trip, the flaws did not cover up the merits and did a good job. If anyone else came, Fu Bi might not have done better.

Thinking of the Khitans' untrustworthy, dark and greedy, he sighed in his heart. He didn't know how Zheng Lang could escape and return to the Song Dynasty safely in a few years. Zheng Xingzhi, you probably underestimated the Khitan.

When he was worried, Liu Liufu suddenly came and asked: "Encourt, in the past, your Taizong had pacified Hedong and immediately attacked Youyan. Although you, the Song Dynasty, used troops to Xixia, would you want to attack Yanji after pacifying?"

At this time, Fu Bi felt that the sun was bright, and it turned out that the Khitan was also afraid of war!

It's fear, not the Lord and.

Just now, the little emperor of Liao was so volatile that he suddenly became calm. He tried his best to concentrate and replied calmly: "During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Khitan sent Zhalameili to the envoy, but then sent troops to Shiling to help Hedong. Emperor Taizong was angry that he was rebellious and attacked Yan Ji, which was a disaster caused by the Northern Dynasty."

He didn't say whether to fight or not.

Reclaiming the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun was the dream of almost all the people with aspirations in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Why did Taizong attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun? You did not keep your promise first and took it upon yourself. The Chanyuan Alliance gave peace to the two countries, but now it is here again. You Khitan is going to tear up the covenant again.

Liu Liufu had no choice but to change the topic and said: "My lord is ashamed to have received gold and silk, so he must want to get ten counties, how about it?"

Fu Bi was very dizzy and said it many times, why bother asking questions? He explained patiently, and said: "Your Majesty of our dynasty once said that I am the grandson of others. How dare I use my ancestors to deal with others? In the past, Chanzhou was so dangerous that I did not agree to cede Guannan and Khitan. How could I cede land in my hands? The Northern Dynasty wanted ten counties. But I greedy for the rent and taxes. My dynasty used gold and silk instead, and I could also use Khitan funds. What's the difference?"

How can there be no difference?

In ancient times, the concept of territory was relatively vague. Remote areas should be granted. If they can be conquered, they should be conquered. They should not wave their hands and let them go. This has been the case since the Han and Tang Dynasties.

But the ten counties in Guannan are not as simple as ten counties? Once the Khitans get the ten counties in Guannan, it is like sending a young girl with a beautiful appearance to a cell where she has been imprisoned for more than ten years without seeing a meaty male prisoner. What is the difference? In the future, the entire Central Plains may become the racetrack for the Khitan. If there is a very few grass-fighting valley, it will become the norm.

It is not easy to click Liu Liufu.

How to say, it is fake to ask the ten counties in Guannan. It is our Khitan's idea to covet your Central Plains at any time in the future.

Here, Fu Bi ignored another issue, the candidate sent by the Khitan.

Liu Liufu is an authentic Han man.

When he sent him and Xiao Temo to negotiate in the Song Dynasty, he had to have a Han person as his companion. Now he came to Khitan Heishan. There is no need for this. Speaking Chinese does not necessarily mean that many Khitans can speak Chinese. Many Khitans can also speak Chinese.

This is also an attitude.

There are many Han jiāns. Whenever China has something to do or even the country is peaceful, these people will jump out like dogs, and many people are willing to do it. But more Han people may not be like Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, including the Han people in the Khitan territory. Once Emperor Taizong of Song attacks Youzhou and is not ready, these Han people will take the initiative to pick up weapons to fight the Song army. But as the Han people themselves, what they hope for is the reconciliation between the two countries, it is best not to fight. Zhang Jian, the important Khitan official, also has this mentality, and some Liugu Alliance tribes on Jingyuan Road still have this mentality. This is a subconscious ethnic group with the same roots.

Fu Bi continued: "I think about the people of the two countries, and I don't want to start a war, so I took out gold and silk to satisfy the Northern Dynasties. If the Northern Dynasties insisted on the ten counties in Guannan, they were determined to be against the alliance and abandon them. I only had one battle. The alliance of Chanyuan, the gods of heaven and earth, are they actually coming together. Today, the Northern Dynasties will send troops first, but the mistake is not with me. Can the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth be deceived!"

Zaizai's words were said so many times.

He vaguely saw some of the Khitans' thoughts and became bolder, so he said such a majestic words.

Liu Liufu left.

At this moment, he received a letter from his home.

Maybe something big happened at his home, but Fu Bi held the letter in his hand and did not tear it down for a long time. After a while, he tore it.

The subordinate asked in surprise, and Fu Bi replied: "I am in charge of the country, how can I be distracted by family affairs? Besides, it is so far away that even if I know... I can't do anything."

Can you fly back with wings?

Knowing is useless, but it is distracted and is not conducive to negotiation.

But you can imagine that if Zheng Lang confronted Ye Li in Ishikawa Village, something happened to the Zheng family, would Cui Xian send someone to send a letter to Zheng Lang regardless of the general situation? Officials, come back quickly, something happened at home.

Why did Zheng Lang set out to leave when he heard that something was wrong in Agancheng and his wife left at dark, and his wives and concubines were a little resentful, but who had stopped him?

What is Fu Bi doing at this time?

The Song Dynasty had a less powerful enemy threat. Once it failed, it was possible to be dismembered by the Khitan and Xixia.

We must always pay attention to our qualities. At this time, the Khitan killed him, and the Song Dynasty did not dare to say a word, and obediently sent another envoy to discuss peace.

What kind of thing is there to send to the Khitan? Besides, how did this letter be delivered to the Khitan?

Fu Bi temporarily put aside the unhappiness in his heart and prepared to welcome the next shameful insult.

The next day, Yelu Zongzhen led Fu Bi to hunt, and his attitude was not bad, so he asked him to walk with him. The scene was spectacular. Think about it, on the vast grassland, countless Khitan cavalry lined up in a row, shouting and shouting in the mountains. All the animals on the grassland were frightened together, and then thousands of arrows were fired and killed one by one. Fu Bi was just a civil servant, and he had never been to the battlefield. Will he be thrilling?

The huge scene made him a little confused.

Yelu Zongzhen suddenly asked, "What else do you have to say?"

Fu Bi did not concentrate and said involuntarily: "I just want to make peace, the longer the better."

A mistake.

Until now, Fu Bi was almost completely invisible. Until now, it was possible that he was lost in his mind, or that he might have made a major mistake in the letter.

The little emperor of Liao Kingdom smiled on his face, and the Han people of the Song Dynasty finally revealed their true colors. The boastful talks in the tent yesterday turned out to be true. Peace talks were their only way out.

Then he said: "I have ten counties in Guannan, and the two countries will reconcile forever."

Fu Bi woke up and said strongly: "Our emperor sent his ministers to Your Majesty that if the Northern Dynasty has obtained the old land of his ancestors, how could the Southern Dynasty lose the old land of his ancestors? The Khitan is proud of the land of his land. Our dynasty will be humiliated by the loss of his land. How can a brotherly country make one honor and one humiliation? It is the opposite? Your Majesty did not forget the ten counties in Guannan. The emperor of our dynasty did not forget the old title of Yanji, but he still sent envoys to explain to each other."

No matter what you say, it is impossible to have an inch of land.

After the hunting ended, Liu Liufu found Fu Bi and said, "The emperor has a great understanding of the words of honor and disgrace that you said, but gold and silk are not acceptable, but marriage is only negotiable."

Why did you propose marriage again?

Fu Bi was killed by these Khitans, and his mind was turning sharply.

The marriage was agreed in Kaifeng. It was impossible to cede land. Why did the Khitan raise it?

In the past, marriage was a measure by the Central Plains powers to win over barbarians outside the Great Wall. Now that Khitan is in a civilized manner, he often regards himself as China, and does not need this family marriage. As a military power, it is impossible to need peace and kinship to maintain peace between the two countries. On the contrary, only the Song Dynasty needed to bribe the Khitan to seek peace and friendship.

Suddenly, he understood and said, "Marriage is easy to have conflicts. How many couples do not quarrel or stumble? Besides, people's life spans are different. Once there is an accident, they will lose their friendship and cause misunderstandings. It is better to add gold and silk."

He had the most insights on this sentence at this time.
