Chapter five hundred and twenty first talk about collapse
The next day was the day that Xixia and Dahan agreed to formally meet for an alliance. Early in the morning, people from the rites department of both sides gathered on the platform to arrange the alliance. According to the agreement, both parties were on the platform and could only bring one deputy envoy.
Name, one guard, five civilian officials, and sergeants are all 100 meters away from the platform and cannot be approached.
When the time came, Li Shou, King of Fire, brought the deputy envoy of Xixia, as well as five officials from the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War to the bottom of the platform. Duke Yan of Zhou also came to the bottom of the steps with his entourage, arriving at the same time as Li Shou.
Zhou Yangong slightly bent his body and said: "Zhou Yangong, the chief political officer of the Han Dynasty Military Aircraft Department, has met His Highness."
Li Shou laughed and said, "Grandmaster Zhou has been here for many days. I heard that Grandmaster Zhou is slightly unwell, but are you still fine?"
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "I was tired of traveling and traveling, and I suffered some wind. I have recovered after a few days of nursing. I am sorry for your concern, Your Highness."
Li Shou said with a smile: "That's very good. I originally wanted to have a drink with the Grand Scholar a few days ago, but the Grand Scholar is slightly ill, so today we have just met for the first time. I am very sorry."
Zhou Yangong said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being disrespectful."
Li Shou saw that the guard behind Zhou Yangong was carrying a huge wooden box, and several officials behind him were carrying a rather heavy-looking bag, which was quite strange. So he asked: "Grand Master, what are you carrying?"
What is it?"
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "They are some gifts that the King of Han ordered me to bring. They were originally intended to be given to His Majesty Wei Mingxiao. Since His Majesty Wei Mingxiao is in the future, I will give them to His Highness later in the same way. Although the things are not the same.
It's a lot, and it's frivolous, but it represents the King of Han's thoughts. Please don't mind, Your Highness."
The Xixia deputy envoy next to Li Shou snorted coldly. Judging from his arrogance, he seemed to be very disdainful of Zhou Yangong. Judging from his nostrils raised to the sky, he seemed to be the envoy.
"Who is this?"
Duke Yan of Zhou asked.
Li Shou smiled and said: "This is my deputy envoy for this alliance in Daxia. Come on, please come on, Grand Scholar."
Zhou Yangong stretched out his hand and said: "Your Highness, please come first."
Li Shou did not refuse and took the lead on the platform with a height of more than two meters. The deputy envoy of Xixia gave Zhou Yangong a cold look, and then followed Li Shou onto the platform. Zhou Yangong behaved rudely towards this person.
He didn't care, he smiled lightly and walked up.
After the two parties sat down, there were maids with better looks standing beside everyone. These maids only wore a gauze dress in the cold spring weather. They looked graceful and graceful. This is not because they love beauty, but
In order to show that there were no murder weapons on them, only breast weapons.
After sitting down, Li Shou took the lead and said: "Master, didn't the officials of your country's Ministry of Rites say before that the King of Han will come in person this time?"
Zhou Yangong smiled lightly and said: "Didn't the officials of your country's Ministry of Rites also say that His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia will also come here in person to meet with our Lord?"
Li Shou laughed and said: "Your Majesty is busy with everything. Our territory of Daxia is constantly expanding. Your Majesty ordered people to redraw the map. I think your Majesty is reviewing my new territory map of Daxia at this time."
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "It's a coincidence. My lord, the King of Han, should also be looking at the new map at this time, which adds three new states and hundreds of miles of territory."
"oh?"
Li Shou's face changed color slightly. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "In this case, I have to congratulate the King of Han first."
Zhou Yangong said: "Thank you, Your Highness."
He smiled and said: "For this alliance, the officials of the Ministry of Rites have drafted a charter. Your Highness has already read it. What we want to discuss today is the border issue between Dahan and Daxia. The national boundaries between Dahan and Daxia
The intersection stretches for thousands of miles, and this alliance will clearly divide the unknown areas. The three newly acquired states of the Han Dynasty should also be explained to His Highness."
Li Shou knew that Zhou Yangong wanted to use the fact that the Han army had just conquered Yinzhou and other three states to stimulate him. The people sent by Wei Mingxiao had already told him about the matter, so he was a little bit worried about the Han army's angrily attacking Yinzhou and the other three states.
Helpless. Yipintang was caught secretly drawing maps in the Han Dynasty. Now he can only kill him without admitting it. There is also the Li Hunu who deserves to die and is already dead. He is favored in front of His Majesty.
After doing such an idiotic thing, the King of Han Liu Ling was furious and sent out troops. This is reasonable. If it were Han assassins who blatantly assassinated the Emperor of Daxia, His Majesty Weiming Xiaoxiao would also be angry and send out troops.
Xixia was in the wrong in this matter. Although they lost the territory of the Three States, Li Shou was unable to clarify it. Moreover, he had already reached an agreement with Brother Yelumo. This meeting with Zhou Yangong was just to follow the Khitan people.
It was just his thoughts. He knew that if Duke Yan of Zhou was not killed, the Khitan people would still not believe in the sincerity of the alliance. This was Brother Yelumo just expressing his position. Once the envoy of the Han State died, Daxia and the Han State would be inseparable no matter what.
We can no longer talk about alliances.
Knowing that Zhou Yangong spoke about the boundary at this time just to humiliate himself, Li Shou interrupted Zhou Yangong and said: "The boundary matter is the most important thing. Before Gu came, I, the emperor of Daxia,
Your Majesty specifically asked me to be cautious about border matters. Since the Grand Master mentioned it, I just have something to say."
He cleared his throat and said: "Fuzhou was originally my territory of Daxia. When the war started with the Liao Kingdom a few months ago, my Majesty, the Emperor of Daxia, was magnanimous and lent Fuzhou to the King of Han as a place to garrison troops. Now the war is over
, Grand Scholar, did the King of Han ever say, when will Fuzhou be returned to me, Daxia?"
Zhou Yangong said: "The King of Han did give the order."
He smiled and said: "But it is slightly different from what His Highness said."
"Oh? What did the King of Han say?"
Li Shou asked.
Zhou Yanggong said: "Before I left, the King of Han told me that if an envoy from Daxia asks about the affairs of the prefecture, he must answer well and not be negligent."
This sentence was very polite, but Zhou Yangong's next sentence made Li Shou so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"The King of Han said, please give up your highness. Since my great Han's fire dragon flag has been planted on the city wall, there is absolutely no reason to take it down again."
"Grand Master... If you say this, the King of Han has no sincerity in forming an alliance?"
Li Shou asked coldly.
The Xixia deputy envoy beside him suddenly sneered, which contained deep disdain and even stronger anger. Hearing this sneer, Li Shou coughed and said: "I'm not sure about the Fuzhou matter.
His Majesty the Xia Emperor also has a decree. His Majesty said that if the prefecture is not returned, then there is no need to talk anymore."
Zhou Yangong spread his hands and said, "So, today's alliance will end early."
He smiled and said: "In that case, let's give the gift from the King of Han to His Highness first, and then we will disperse later. Wouldn't it be a pity if we forgot it?"
Li Shou held back his anger and asked, "I wonder what gift the King of Han has for me, His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia?"
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "They are all priceless gadgets, but I expect that His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia and His Highness will be very interested in them. Ning Huan, send the gifts to King Liehuo."
Fire King Li Shou didn't know who Ning Huan was. Even if he was from the Overwatch Council, he didn't know that this young man named Ning Huan, who looked handsome and even had a bit of a bookish air, was one of the famous ten members of the Han Overwatch Council.
One of the two golden clothes. Ning Huan is by Zhou Yangong's side, but Xi Ziyan is not.
Ning Huan was originally in Datong Prefecture, Xijing, Liao State. Because the Supervisory Council had found out in advance that the Khitan Emperor Yelu Xiong had sent Brother Yue Yelu Moge of the Liao State to go south to contact the party members, so Liu Ling ordered Ning Huan to be moved nearby in preparation.
Sometimes it’s just necessary. Perhaps because Xi Ziyan is a woman, when Zhou Yangong chose the only personal guard he could take with him, he chose Ning Huan instead of Xi Ziyan.
Li Shou and Duke Yan of Zhou glanced at the bodyguard beside him and didn't care much about this delicate-looking young man. Both Dangxiang and Khitan people respected warriors, but in their concepts, Ning Huan's delicate appearance could never be called a warrior.
He was a warrior. Li Shou found that the guard had been carrying the large wooden box on his back and had not untied it even when he reached the table. The box was also one of the gifts given by the King of Han to Wei Mingxiao. Li Shou looked at the box.
The size is big enough to hold a guqin.
Ning Huan carried a large wooden box with a length of 1.6 meters on his back and picked up the bag placed on the side of the table. He walked slowly towards Li Shou, the Fire King of Xixia, and the guards around Li Shou immediately came out and stopped him in the middle of the platform.
Ning Huan reached out and took the bag. She didn't know what the bag contained, but it was quite heavy.
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "The King of Han knew that His Majesty Wei Mingxiao was drawing a map, so he found some helpful things and gave them to His Majesty Wei Mingxiao, and asked His Highness to check them out."
Li Shou's bodyguard is a first-class master of the Xixia First Grade Hall and one of the two admirals of Qiusi. This man's name is Chun Jinglei, and his cultivation level is extremely high. Among the five people on the Xixia side, he is the only one who keeps staring at Ning Huan, with a look on his face.
It is a solemn color.
Chun Jinglei took the bag and walked back to Li Shou, and glanced at Li Shou. Li Shou was also very curious about the contents of the pocket, so he said to Chun Jinglei: "Open it and take a look."
Chun Jinglei was silent for a while and said: "Your Highness, it's better not to look at it...it's a human head."
Li Shou was startled, stood up suddenly, pointed at Zhou Yangong and asked: "Grand Master, what do you mean by this?! Are you threatening me by giving me a bag of human heads?"
Zhou Yangong shook his head and said: "How can it be a threat? The two sides have made an alliance with this. Even if the words are not speculative, I am a country of etiquette, and I will not do such a thing as a threat. This pocket is very powerful.
Several heads, including several who came from Daxia and were good at drawing in our territory of the Han Dynasty. The King of Han meant that since His Majesty Weiming Xiaoxiao was drawing, it would be better to send these people back. But these people are all
He is a small person, not worth mentioning. There is also a human head...I think the Fire King will be shocked when he sees it."
He paused and said: "It is said that nothing in the world is exactly the same. Even the leaves growing on a tree have different veins and textures. But a few days ago, there was a man in Luoyang, the land of my great Han Dynasty.
A lone bandit who robbed homes and houses was captured and beheaded by the Han government. A veteran of the army happened to be present and said that this lone bandit was exactly the same as Li Hunu, the great general of Great Xia. The king of Han did not believe it.
So I was ordered to bring it to you, King of Fire, to take a look. Are there really two identical leaves at this time? Are there really two identical heads?"
Li Shou said angrily: "That's enough!"
Zhou Yangong said calmly: "It's not enough. There are three gifts, and now I only have one."
He stood up and waved.
Thousands of Han troops waiting in formation a hundred meters away from the platform suddenly separated to the left and right. Hundreds of soldiers escorted no less than 300 unkempt prisoners to the front of the formation. The Han soldiers held the prisoners down and knelt on the ground. The prisoners knew
Disaster was coming, and there were those who begged and those who cursed, and the scene became chaotic for a while. Duke Yan of Zhou lowered his raised hand, and hundreds of Han soldiers drew out their horizontal swords and slashed them down fiercely. There were immediately three more people in the scene.
There were more than a hundred headless corpses and rivers of blood.
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "This is the second thing. It is said that Daxia established a Yipintang Yamen and was short of manpower, so the King of Han was generous and returned these people to His Majesty Wei Mingxiao."
Li Shou's face turned pale. He pointed at Duke Zhou Yan and roared: "Gong Zhou Yan! If you continue to bully others too much, don't blame King Gu's soldiers for being ruthless with their swords! Did the King of Han think that he was really invincible in this world?
