Xiao Puxian took a deep breath...

"A messenger is a man who practices Taoism?"

Her tone was obviously filled with a hint of awe.

This is also normal. I believe this these days, and just look at the temples everywhere in Xijin City. Although the Khitan nobles mainly believe in Buddhism, Taoist priests also have a market here. Taoist temples such as Tianchang Temple are also very prosperous, and they are the same level as Buddhist temples such as Minzhong Temple.

"There is no question of practicing Taoism. It's just that Master Meng taught some self-defense methods and gave him a few magic weapons!"

Wang Yue said shamelessly.

"Give a seat!"

Xiao Puxian said immediately.

The maid quickly brought a stool for Wang Yue, and at Xiao Puxian's table, he also served tea to him. Wang Yue sat down calmly.

But Xiao Tabuyan looked at him in a daze.

"What the envoy said is indeed reasonable, but the Song and Liao were brothers. Now when the Great Liao was in crisis, the Southern Dynasties took advantage of others to take over the land of our Great Liao. This is indignant. Our Great Liao is indeed different from the past, but we cannot be bullied."

Xiao Puxian said slowly.

"Empress, since this is the case, let's make it clear, how can you surrender?"

Wang Yue said.

Xiao Puxian girl showed a thoughtful expression.

"Empress, I can clearly say that I am also a confidant of Master Tong. As long as you offer the conditions, I will take it back immediately for Master Tong to decide. Master Tong wants very simple. As long as you surrender, everything else is easy to discuss."

Wang Yue said.

"Only called a feudal."

Xiao Puxian said.

"I'm afraid this won't work, and it's not good for you.

The Empress should understand very well that your enemies will not let you go.

The Jurchens just hadn't completely solved the north. Although they had already taken over Xijing, the resistance in various places was still not over, and Han Qingmin was still alone in Yizhou. Once they completely controlled the north, the first one would go south. At that time, the empress felt that without the support of the Song Dynasty, could you defend Juyong Pass?

But if it is just called a vassal, why should the Song Dynasty send troops to help you?

You should know that once the Song Dynasty sends troops to fight against the Jurchens together, the Jurchens will inevitably use this as an excuse to attack Yanmen Pass.

The Song Dynasty will face the Jurchen soldiers on your behalf.

But if it were not simply called a vassal, the Song Dynasty was appointed as the King of Yan, and the King of Yan was appointed to guard Xijin, Yelu Dashi and others were each appointed as the governors to command your army, Li Chuwen and other civil officials as officials of various prefectures and prefectures, and the Song Dynasty established a Xuanfu envoy, and from then on, your food and salary were all supplied by the Song Dynasty. In addition, a few more troops were transferred north to guard Juyongguan and other passes with you, and even the Song Dynasty paid for food and civil servants to rebuild a stronger castle at Juyongguan and other passes, which was almost enough to protect Xijin.

After all, it was the Jurchens who really wanted to destroy you, not the Song Dynasty."

Wang Yue said.

This is his real goal.

Song and Liao worked together to withstand the Yanshan defense line.

The Jurchens will definitely go south, regardless of whether there is any excuse or not. Their purpose of alliance with the Song Dynasty is only because the Liao Kingdom has not been resolved yet. As long as the Liao Kingdom is resolved, a fool will not go south!

Tong Guan also understood this.

The purpose of his Northern Expedition was not only for his own glory, but also to push the defense line to Yanshan before the Jurchens resolved the Liao Kingdom. He was an old fox who had led troops for 20 years, and was not so brainless. Everyone knew that even the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the Song army could definitely not resist it. The only hope was to take back the Yanshan Line first and then stick to it by the danger.

In this way, the Great Wall of Water can obtain two national defense lines.

Once the people from Northern Liao were captured, they could be used as cannon fodder. Their combat effectiveness was greater than that of the Song army, but they had no food. The Song Dynasty had and also had smooth transportation lines. The Song Dynasty's money, food, their combat effectiveness, and the continuous support of the Song army would have hope to defend the Yanshan line. As long as they could continue to confront the Jurchens on this line, the Song Dynasty could also consume peace with its financial resources. This situation was similar to the late Ming Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty's financial resources were incomparable to Chongzhen.

So there is still hope for success.

Of course, the premise is that the line of Yanmen Pass can also be kept.

but……

That is definitely not something you can keep.

But this has nothing to do with Wang Yue. What Wang Yue wants is to defend this place, because he will develop his own power in this place next.

Who can’t do the Liaoxi generals?

"No, we only accept the title of vassal and demoted to the King of Liao. The envoy responded to Taishi Tong. As for the time when the Jurchens invaded the south..."

Xiao Puxian paused.

"If the Southern Dynasty refuses to help us, then we will surrender to the Jurchens."

She said with a sneer.

"Empress, why are you so stubborn?"

Wang Yue said helplessly.

“Because you can’t beat us, we are entitled to what we want.”

Xiao Puxian said proudly.

"Okay, then I'll set out to go south and convey the Empress's meaning to Master Tong. However, the Empress also needs to give me a token, otherwise even if Master Tong believes in me, the civil officials in the court will not believe it! Or the Empress can send an envoy with him."

Wang Yue said.

"There is no need to be an envoy, this is kept confidential in advance, as for the token..."

Xiao Puxian thought about it, then said a few words to the maid. The latter quickly left and quickly returned with a gorgeous belt in a wooden box. At Xiao Puxian's gesture, he gave it to Wang Yue.

"This was given to His Majesty when Tong Guan came last time. If you take it back, he will naturally recognize it."

Xiao Puxian said.

Wang Yue quickly took it and put it away.

"Then I will say goodbye!"

He said immediately.

"A man of labor!"

Xiao Puxian said.

Wang Yue stood up and left, Xiao Tabuyan stepped forward and led him away. Xiao Puxian girl looked at them quietly, and then an old figure who was supported walked out of a door next to her...

Wang Yue, who left the Yaochi Palace, returned to the city with Xiao Tabuyan. The latter ignored him all the way, just like him, and after returning to Jinggu Temple, he simply took her soldiers away, and did not even look back at him. He raised his head like a little iguana, and was proudly facing the sky with two nostrils.

"What unforgivable thing did you do to her?"

Ma Kuo asked curiously.

Obviously he thought the two of them sneaked out in the middle of the night to do something about being alone and a widowed. Although they can be in Jinggu Temple, what if these two interests are unique.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are innocent."

Wang Yue said.

He was also a little regretful at this moment.

If you say this woman is quite in line with his aesthetic sense, but...

In the overall situation, there is no time to talk about these messes. Besides, if the two sides really cannot reach an agreement, it will be a hostile relationship. This is a bit complicated. Let’s talk about such love, hate, and love later!

Wang Yue then told Ma Kuo about his previous meeting with Xiao Puxian.

Ma Kuo was very calm about this result. In fact, if you think about it, you will know that it is impossible for him to surrender easily, but since the offer is easy, it will be easy to deal with. The next step is nothing more than bargaining. However, Ma Kuo still has to stay in Xijin City. After all, Xiao Puxian said that the matter should be kept secret, so Ma Kuo has to continue to tangle with the officials of the Liao Kingdom.

This is a must.

Besides, he is a righteous man, and he will have a lot of contributions no matter what kind of contribution Wang Yue does.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yue took his six-spirited pestle to leave Xijin, but because he had to keep it secret, he could not walk the main road, but went straight out of the city and headed south.
