Guo Shaoai saw the scene of the men and horses marching in armor, and also liked to listen to the coordinated footsteps and the sound of metal rubbing, as if it was a symphony.≯≥

Under the Jinzhou city tower, a series of heavy infantry soldiers continued to enter the city. The "cracking" footsteps sounded like rhythmic heavy bass. The slow movements of the cavalry lined up seemed to jump lightly, or like a dance. If you look closely, they did not jump with their four hooves. The horse's posture was elegant and powerful.

There were rows of infantry and cavalry, and the same scene was repeated under the city tower, but Guo Shao stood on top and watched for a long time.

He turned to Wei Renpu next to him and said, "Does Deputy Envoy Wei feel this scene boring?"

Wei Renpu bent down slightly and said calmly: "I look at it, it's very interesting."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said, "People always want to have omnipotent power, but unfortunately, no matter how strong a person is, he has limited abilities. If thousands of people can do one thing together, their strength cannot be slighted. So whenever I see this kind of scene, I am always a little excited."

Wei Renpu thought seriously, then he replied seriously: "Your Majesty is very clear."

Guo Shao raised his head, his eyes crossed the row of Xu Jun flags floating high, and looked at the green fields that could not be seen at the edge. The Xiaoling River meandered across the vast land, and his vision could no longer be seen further. Not only did his personal strength and running degree limited, but his vision was also very limited.

Gao Huaide lived up to his hopes and captured this important town built by the Han people in the Tang Dynasty in half a month. However, Guo Shao was not very excited, but felt that his heart was still hanging down.

Jinzhou has a flat terrain on all sides, with rich water systems and fertile land; the city is the ruling center of this area. If it is generally captured by the imperial court, it will definitely be a remarkable achievement. However, Guo Shao mobilized so many people and personally marched to the Northeast, not for a city.

He is waiting for news from Liao Kingdom.

This feeling reminded him of the first time when he made his mark: shooting Zhang Yuanhui with one arrow. The timing and angle were very good at that time, and Guo Shao was also very sure of the archery he had practiced for a long time, but before the moment of shooting the arrow, he was very nervous and worried. Because no one could be 100% sure about some things. When Guo Shao was in Lingzhou, he killed Dangxiangren and did not hide his brother.

She is like a little girl who was very moved when she was young. She has already started, but she is always careful, afraid that she will fly away if she is scared...

People and horses were active all day long inside and outside Jinzhou City, garrisoning troops to deploy defenses, resettle and identify prisoners, and appease the people. All things were complicated, but Guo Shao ignored it. When he repeatedly pondered and designed the front camp military palace, he had already paid his hard work in advance.

Until evening, the military ministers and generals gathered together at the temporary requisition of the Central Army headquarters to have dinner, and the meals were the same as the soldiers, even Guo Shao was no exception.

The roasted hot wheat cakes are very dry and tedious. There are vegetable leaves in the soup, and dried sea fish is placed... Sometimes it is bacon. This way, it is very easy to make soup, and even salt is saved, because both the dried fish and the bacon are very salty.

Guo Shao felt nothing and talked to everyone about some anecdotes.

At this time, Gao Huaide smiled and said, "Duke Shi, I heard that once in Hedong, the soldiers were in chaos and had no military discipline. They plundered the people and kidnapped the little girl. They were seen by Duke Shi. Duke Shi promoted the soldiers on the spot and then cut off the little girls. After hearing this story, he still didn't understand why Duke Shi killed the innocent people together?"

The laughter in the room immediately became less and the atmosphere became a little subtle. Everyone looked at Shi Yan's reaction.

Guo Shao sat in the upper seat without saying a word, and still chewed the wheat cakes "baji". The wheat cakes eaten in the army are very thick, so you must chew more, otherwise it will be difficult to swallow. After chewing more, you can taste the light sweetness unique to the grain.

Guo Shao estimated that Shi Yan's killing of the Queen of Qi in Liao Kingdom would definitely have something to do with Gao Huaide, mocking or showing off. After Gao Huaide conquered Jinzhou, he was confident in speaking and was responding in public. Anyway, there was never a shortage of minor friction between these military generals and civil servants, especially Shi Yan, who was not surprised by Guo Shao.

Shi Yan "snap" and threw the round wheat cake in the iron cup soup. The vegetable soup splashed all over the floor. He slanted his eyes and said without changing his face: "I feel relieved and save trouble together."

Gao Huaide raised his thumbs up and sneered: "I admire you."

Shi Yan said again: "Those soldiers travel thousands of miles, holding their heads to fight, burning, killing, and robbing should be damned, but I can't ask a group of women to gloat when they die!"

At this moment, the eunuch Yang Shiliang walked into the lobby, bowed straight from the side to Guo Shao, and whispered in Guo Shao's ear: "The Liao Kingdom sent a secret envoy to Jinzhou, and I just arrived."

After hearing this, Guo Shao let out a sigh and said to everyone: "The Liao Kingdom is here to seek peace."

Shi Yan had forgotten all the arguments just now and immediately shouted: "Let the Liao king call him father, and the official will agree to their request for peace."

Wei Renpu glared at Shi Yan angrily and said, "That's all that!"

Civil servant Lu Duosun said seriously: "Before going to the expedition, everyone discussed politics in front of the official family. This expedition was to force peace. Otherwise, there would be no way out in thousands of miles of grassland and the vast cold land of the Northeast."

Guo Shao slapped his thigh and said, "Xianliang's secret envoy will be reunited for two days. I will ride out of Jinzhou early tomorrow morning and wander towards Liaoyang a few times."

Lu Duosun clasped his fists and said, "Does the Liao people think that our dynasty has no sincerity in peace talks?"

Guo Shao changed his silent expression and suddenly smiled: "Be calm. The Liao people are fighting or reconciling, not because of whether our attitude is polite. If they think they can continue to compete with Daxun to make a profit, even if they send the princess money to beg for money, it will not play a real role."

...

The King's Tent of the Great Liao Dynasty is still stationed in the western plains of Daheishan. Many horses are gnawing on grass, but they are not fat, and the grass seeds in autumn are fat. Spring thunder suddenly appears in the depths of the mountains, and the entire earth is shrouded in lingering haze. However, the most unhappy person in the King's Tent camp should be Xiao Siwen.

Not long ago, he said something to his confidant Xiao Abudi: "The ewe are trying hard to eat grass, swaying the bulging goat milk under his belly, showing its value to the owner."

The most shameless thing in the power field is to look like a coquettish look in front of his former subordinates!

Thinking about the fall of Youzhou back then (Xiao Siwen never felt it was his own responsibility, and the reinforcements of the Liao court were hopeless, who could defend the lonely city under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops), Xiao Siwen fought back and knocked back the blame on the head of the great Liao emperor Yelu Jing! Yelu Xizhen and others respected and admired him and were humble.

Now, Xiao Siwen has fallen to the point of trying to please and rely on Yelu Xizhen. Xiao Siwen has been holding back shame and unwillingness, but more of it is helpless.

The situation of peace talks with Xu Guo could not control, and Xiao Siwen gradually lost power. He often woke up from his dreams and could not remember any nightmare, but at that time he would remember too many people who had offended, had revenge, and were dissatisfied with him over the years, and could not count them.

Xiao Siwen got up from the collapse again. When his breath was slightly calmer, he walked to a bronze mirror with him, looked inside, looked at his face, then turned his head to look at the outline on the side. He straightened his neck and looked at the mirror to make a calm and upright posture, only to feel that his facial features and face were upright and his appearance was very good. He gradually found confidence.

The world has ups and downs, and Xiao Siwen believes that he can overcome this difficulty. From now on, he will still be a Khitan noble who is calm and loyal to the country and has a noble status.

Xiao Siwen gently smoothed his temples with his palms, picked up his hat and put it on, turned around and walked out of the tent.

He rode his horse and walked into the king's tent without any obstacles. Many ministers of the Liao Kingdom had arrived. Khan Yelu Xian also sat on his tiger-skin chair. Xiao Siwen stepped forward and bowed with his hands pressed his chest, and then found his place in the front.

The people around were talking. The King of the B-shire King standing next to him said to Xiao Siwen: "The secret envoy of the king's tent has returned and he praised the conditions for peace talks of the Emperor of Xu. First, the place for peace talks should be within the territory of Xu. Second, the Great Liao should send status-based envoys to formulate the Privy Council envoys of the North Court or the King of the North Court."

After hearing this, Xiao Siwen was shocked and asked in a deep voice: "When will the news?"

The King of Room B said: "Just just now."

Xiao Siwen's eyebrows were almost frowning. He was weak in power and went to the enemy's territory to negotiate peace. Who would be willing to go? Yelu Xizhen is now the most powerful person in the Great Liao Dynasty, so he would definitely not want to go... Then only Xiao Siwen went!

Xiao Siwen's heart suddenly fell into the ice valley again and hurriedly asked the King of the B room: "What else did the secret envoy say?" He hoped to get the most information so that he could think of a solution.

The King of the B-Secretary said: "After Xu's army occupied Jinzhou, they immediately sent a ranger to Liaoyang to harass and spy on military information, and were not very concerned about peace talks. The secret envoy only met an important figure in Xu's country two days later."

Xiao Siwen immediately shouted: "Khan, the people of Xu are not sincere in peace talks. How can we negotiate peace talks in this situation?"

Yelu Xizhen said calmly: "It's not that Xu's country does not want to quit, how many benefits can the southern people get if they continue to fight? However, Xu's country should form an alliance with Goryeo to attack the Great Liao. If they want to make peace with the Great Liao, things will be more complicated. What Xu people want is that the Da Liao cavalry will stop raiding the border in the future and will not trust the Great Liao very much. Even so, depending on the current situation, there is still a great opportunity to negotiate peace."

Xiao Siwen immediately asked back: "If you promise the conditions of the people, who will negotiate peace?"

Yelu Xizhen stared at Xiao Siwen with an obvious expression.

Xiao Siwen was almost crying: "The Emperor of Xu hated me to the core. If I came to my door, could I come back alive?"
