In the late autumn of the third year of Xuanren, the temperature in the north was very low, and the leaves of the broad-leaved forest fell out. The weather became colder and cold, which reminded Guo Shao of the ice and snow when he went to war. In the blink of an eye, it was almost a year. At this time, he sighed that time flies and years are like a shuttle.

At this time, Yang Ye occupied Yunzhou, Gao Yanqi occupied Wuzhou, and Liu Renzhan occupied Pingzhou, and the land of Youyun was settled. Guo Shao also heard that Xiao Siwen had joined Yelu Xian and had entered Shangjing. Hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops gathered in the north, and it was costly to do anything without a war, so Guo Shao had already thought of training.

The eunuch Wang Zhong entered and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Zuo Jiao asked for a visit. He seemed to have seen a Khitan envoy, and he was probably talking about this."

Guo Shao said: "Call him in."

Wang Zhong took two steps back, wanted to speak but stopped, and finally bent down and whispered: "I... I really didn't know that Bai was Madam Lu's mother before. I should die..."

"I have nothing to do with rudeness." Guo Shao said calmly.

Soon, Zuo You, wearing a red round-necked robe, entered and held up a opened envelope with both hands: "The Prime Minister of Liao Kingdom, Xiao Siwen, sent an envoy to write a letter to Your Majesty. Please read it."

The ministers have obviously read this letter, what the emperor allowed.

Zuo You first pulled out the letter and opened it, and then handed it to Guo Shao. When Guo Shao saw that it was not a letter of state, he only mentioned a private matter, saying that his daughter could not be taken away in Youzhou, and asked the Emperor of Zhou if he had seen it. He said that his daughter was young and did not know anything, and hoped that the Emperor of Zhou would be tolerant.

"Xiao Siwen has become the prime minister and has become the prime minister. The prime minister of Liao is quite powerful." Guo Shao said casually, "This guy is a Khitan, and the man's calligraphy looks quite decent..."

Zuo You did not comment on calligraphy because Guo Shao's handwriting was not very good, and the best advantage was that it was easy to recognize.

Zuo You said: "Xiao Siwen may regard his daughter as the pearl in his hand, but compared with the Liao Dynasty's government and the lives of the Xiao family, it is not that important. Now Xiao Siwen is actually interested in sending someone to mention his daughter and can successfully leave the Liao Dynasty. I think Xiao Siwen has already controlled the scene in Shangjing."

Guo Shao nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Zuo You's statement.

He once again affirmed that since Xiao Siwen suffered a great loss in Zhuozhou, he really underestimated this person. Xiao Siwen is not very skilled in using military tactics, but his other abilities seem to be quite good!

A short letter was just a few words, but Zuo You made many inferences based on this. He continued: "Zhou and Liao were old enemies, and there were no casualties in various battles. It was not an exaggeration to have a deep hatred in the sea of ​​blood. Liao had just lost a large area of ​​land in Youyun. At this time, Xiao Siwen's words in the letter were quite kind.

I think Xiao Siwen is a person who is unwilling to act in a state of affairs and believes that the Liao Kingdom should not start another war at this time, and intends to ease relations with the Great Zhou."

Guo Shao said: "The country is based on real profit, but it is different from personal grudges." He smiled, "But there is always a difference between honor, disgrace and honor. If we negotiate peace with the Liao Kingdom now, it will be much better than seeking peace when they went south."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zuo You bowed.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and cleared up his thoughts: Whether it is the Great Zhou or the Liao Kingdom, the primary purpose of the war is not to destroy the other party and kill them, but to seek survival and strength to weaken the threat. Now the Liao Kingdom is unwilling to go all the way to the gang and fight together, and Guo Shao is unwilling to...

First of all, the Liao Kingdom has roughly stabilized its position. If a powerful foreign enemy threatens its local area at this time, people will survive in groups. Perhaps external forces will promote the reintegration of the Liao Kingdom.

Secondly, the Great Zhou Dynasty was only initially unified, with limited national strength, and the Northern Expedition of Youyun had already consumed a lot. If we continue to mobilize the army to penetrate deep into the enemy territory, can the national strength and finance still be afforded?

Of course, the most important thing is that even if you are defeated in Youzhou and internal turmoil, the strength of the east and west sides is still very strong. The Zhou army's infantry and cavalry went abroad to fight, and it would be a big deal to win. Anyway, the risk is very high. If you are not careful and lose your strength, it will be a big loss.

Guo Shao probably has few people who are really willing to rush to launch an offensive in Yanshan.

He immediately said: "The Zuo's intention of assisting the government is to calm down the Ganges army and return to the court?"

Zuo You hurriedly said, "My family's words still require your Majesty to make a decision in major matters."

"Then prepare to go to the team." Guo Shao slapped the armrest of the chair, saying it was light. His posture and tone seemed to be like a person who said it was quite reasonable, and he would fuck him with a slap in his forehead.

Zuo You bowed.

Guo Shao said again: "Should wait. Since you have met the Khitan messenger, I will arrange to send my reply to Xiao Siwen later."

"Here." Zuo You looked patiently waiting.

Unexpectedly, Guo Shao lifted up the pen from the inkstone on the coffee table and wrote on the paper: I will raise you, so don’t worry about it.

Zuo You hurriedly picked up the paper that had not dried ink, as if holding a valuable and fragile thing, and he thanked him for giving up.

Guo Shao sat on the chair for a while, remembering that he wanted to do a lot of things before, but he was postponed because he put the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun first. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he feels that everything is complicated and he doesn't know where to do it for a while.

However, he soon realized that he was still young, had plenty of time, was rich in the world, had great prestige and power, and could completely relieve himself. He felt at the moment of relaxation and calm in everything he did. It was time to let go of his courage to do what he had thought about!

The assassination of the Liao king Yelu Jing's lord Yelu Jing did shock Guo Shao, who was also the emperor at first. But soon he relaxed a little. Yelu Jing's situation was much worse than that of him now. With such a high prestige and power, it is difficult for anyone to have the courage and strength to threaten him. Moreover, Guo Shao felt that he was not violent to the people around him, even to humble servants. Except for his mortal enemy who had fought for power with him in the past, almost no one hated him.

... Although Yelu Xian was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he went to Beijing in Liao Kingdom, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he had just sat in the position of a sweat and had a very proper behavior. In private, some nobles said that their parents were emperors and empresses, and they were indeed extraordinary.

The slightly old main hall of the Daliao Palace City looked down at the grassland on a hill. Because the power of the Daliao swept the grassland, the hill also had a mysterious reputation. In the palace, it seemed as if the bloody smell of the previous emperor Yelu Jing had not completely faded. I don’t know how many people died in this place, maybe the cracks in the stone were covered with blood that could not be washed clean.

The weather in Shangjing was even colder, and before winter began, the palace had to raise fire to keep warm. In the fire, the kings and ministers of the Liao Kingdom discussed the future of the tribe all day long.

After the discussion, the Khan summoned Xiao Siwen to face the saint alone. Xiao Siwen's loyalty was extremely strong and often met and talked to the Khan. Whenever Yelu Xian had something to do, he would ask Xiao Siwen first before making a decision.

Xiao Siwen took out a piece of paper with only one line of words: "Yan Yan is in the hands of the Blacksmith Guo, and he wrote back. This letter may be written by the Blacksmith Guo."

Yelu Xian looked at it and first thought that the great King of Zhou, Guo Blacksmith, was not very good at writing, but when he thought that Guo Blacksmith was a lowly martial artist, he would be good enough to write.

The expression on Yelu Xian's face was very complicated. This sentence from Guo Blacksmith was not strong in his hostility and seemed to be ridiculous... but he always felt a sense of humiliation.

Xiao Siwen said: "Yanyan is just a little lady, so Blacksmith Guo shouldn't do anything to her."

Yelu Xian said in a deep voice: "He will make Yanyan... he will make Yanyan..." A sickly red color appeared on his face.

Xiao Siwen pretended not to understand.

Yelu Xian said: "Now I am the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, but I cannot save a single Yanyan."

Xiao Siwen sighed: "The Khan has such a heart for Yanyan, which is a blessing she has cultivated." Xiao Siwen said with a loyal look, "The Khan does not have to care about Yanyan for the time being. Now the Great Liao Dynasty has lost Youyun, and the situation is still dangerous. The Khan should put national affairs first."

"They are all those who are ambitious. After killing my father and mother, they seized the throne of my family, and defeated the Liao Dynasty so unbearable!" Yelu Xian showed a look of hatred, turned his head and said with relief, "But now, Duke Xiao and General Yelu Xizhen are responsible for their worries, and the Liao Dynasty will definitely revive its momentum."

After hearing this, Xiao Siwen was very helpful, "Xiao has always been loyal to the Great Liao Dynasty. When the wise king is in power, his ministers will definitely not dare to slack off."

Yelu Xian said: "The blacksmith Guo occupied our country's territory and took my Yanyan, and one day he would avenge his shame!"

Xiao Siwen pondered and said, "I think you should not act rashly. The Liao Dynasty should sit and watch the changes for the time being. It is best to wait until the blacksmith Guo dies."

"Blacksmith Guo is so afraid of Mr. Xiao?" Yelu Xian said.

Xiao Siwen refused to argue that the large area of ​​Youyun was just taken away by others with force, so there is no need to explain anything else and is willing to accept defeat.

He said kindly again: "Yan Yan is just a daughter of the Xiao family. Although she is not a noble, it doesn't matter to Guo Blacksmith. If the Khan is concerned about Yan Yan, how about I allow me to find a way to redeem some cattle and sheep?"

Yelu Xian frowned and said, "The Zhou State and the Great Liao Dynasty have been fighting for many years. Is Guo Blacksmith willing to discuss this matter?"

Xiao Siwen said: "As long as a person wins, he is generous, not to mention that he is willing to exchange as long as he gives him enough benefits. However, when Yan Yan is captured, he may not be lucky enough to marry Dahan. Dahan should choose another noble lady..."

Yelu Xian immediately said, "As long as she can come back, Ben Khan will never mind her."

After hearing this, Xiao Siwen sighed.

Yelu Xian was the Emperor of the Great Liao overnight. He knew that he would not lack beauty to accompany him in the future, but he always felt that Yanyan was closest to him. Yanyan's pure and scheming smile is still in his ears, "Brother Xian, don't be afraid, although I bully you, if others want to bully you, I will always protect you."

"Oh!" Yelu Xian's young and childish face actually showed a sad feeling that was not very consistent with his age.

He was moved and said, "Reden Yanyan at any cost! As long as she comes back, Ben Khan will immediately marry her as the queen!"

Xiao Siwen's eyes lit up and he immediately bowed: "I must do my best."
