Zhang Yue looked at Yelupo's movements, and as if he had expected them in advance, he raised his hand and opened his bow to shoot.

But seeing that Zhang Yue's arrow was aimed at Huang Zhangzi's feet, Huang Zhangzi jumped away in surprise, causing Yelupo's arrow to miss.

Yelupo was shocked. Before he could react, he saw Zhang Yue unfurling his bow and shooting a second arrow!

Yelupo had to shoot another arrow to catch up, but he was already too late.

Zhang Yue's arrow flew dozens of meters and penetrated the yellow deer's throat!

Good archery skills!

But I heard warm cheers erupting from the dense forest.

The Khitan people admired warriors, and when they saw such superb shooting skills, they did not care about Zhang Yue and the Han people cheered for him.

This is even more true for the Song people.

Zhang Yue saw the Khitans cheering for him, but he was not happy in his heart. The Liao people were so straightforward and simple, and they had not been affected by the dross of Han culture for so many years in the Han area.

Zhang Yue turned around and glanced at the pale Yelupo.

Li Ping looked at him and smoothed things over with a smile: "Life is a joke, you don't need to take it seriously. But I am very kind to you for being able to live a hundred miles."

Before Yelupo could recover, Xiao Xi also drove his horse forward and said: "Xiangong Zhang's shooting skills are really amazing. I didn't expect that there would be such a man of literary and military skills as Xianggong in the Southern Dynasties. I admire him very much."

!”

Zhang Yue didn't say anything, but someone on the side said: "Our Mr. Zhang really shot a big insect back then."

Yelupo and Xiao Xi both looked at each other in surprise.

To be honest, warriors who can shoot big insects are not uncommon among the Khitan people. However, in their eyes, there are not many such people in the Southern Dynasties, and they are still talented people like Zhang Yue. There are really not many people in the world who can be versatile in both civil and military affairs.

indivual.

The two of them thought at the same time that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had such people to help him and should not attack him easily.

Yelupo's horse turned his horse towards Zhang Yue and cupped his fists and said: "I, the Khitan people, admire heroes the most. I, Yelupo, admire you so much that I am in awe of you."

Zhang Yue said: "That's serious."

That day, both sides finished their hunting trip, and the Khitan people showed off their force to no avail, making them unhappy.

That night, Yelupo discussed with Xiao Xi all night long, worried that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty would not be able to get any benefits from this negotiation because of the help of a figure like Zhang Yue.

It was dawn the next day.

The Liao envoy did not hesitate any longer, and this time formally proposed to start negotiations with the Song Dynasty.

However, the Liao envoy actually proposed a new idea, which shocked the officials of the Song Dynasty.

"Yes, the two emperors of the north and the south stand side by side!" Yelvpo nodded and said, "Back then under Chanzhou City, we, the Liao Dynasty, and you, the Song Dynasty, were brothers. This discussion remains unchanged to this day."

"You and I respect both countries. As for the small countries such as Xixia, Goryeo, and Uighurs, they will naturally pay tribute to you and me. Once Xixia offends you, the Song Dynasty, it will be like offending us, the Liao Dynasty. Both sides can send troops to attack it together."

Yelupo's suggestion immediately alarmed all Song Dynasty officials present.

Everyone was whispering and discussing.

Zhang Yue sat down leisurely. Who said that Liao people didn't study? This kind of strategy was very easy to pull off.

Li Ping was very moved. He approached Zhang Yue and whispered: "Xiangong Zhang, your Majesty regards the control of summer as a great cause. If you can reach a parallel alliance with the Liao Kingdom to deal with foreign countries, then sooner or later your grand plan will be fulfilled."

Li Ping participated in the battle of Han Jiang's attack on Luowucheng. In the end, the Song Dynasty lost the battle. It was precisely because the Liao Kingdom sent 300,000 troops to threaten the Song Dynasty's flanks that the Song Army had to retreat. Once it received the support of the Liao Kingdom, it would be easy for the Song Dynasty to destroy Xia.

.

Chen Mu objected: "My lord, you must not do this. Goryeo has just reached a tacit agreement with me to jointly deal with the Liao Kingdom. Once it is known that we have betrayed our alliance, Goryeo will sever diplomatic relations with me from now on."

Han Zhen said: "The biggest one in the world is the Liao and Song Dynasties. Once the Liao and Song Dynasties can coexist harmoniously, no other small country can offend the power of China. This matter can be discussed!"

Yelu Po was spying on the expressions of Song Dynasty officials, and asked Zhang Yue: "What does Mr. Zhang think?"

Zhang Yue looked at the expressions of the officials on the left and right, and he was quite moved. The Song Dynasty was not as powerful as the Liao Dynasty, but it agreed to the treaty of the two emperors of the north and the south to respect each other and to unite with the outside world, which undoubtedly promoted himself.

At the same time, it also avoided being suppressed by the powerful Liao Kingdom all the time, and avoided the shadow of living under the intimidation of the Liao Kingdom's 500,000 cavalry every year. The entire Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers could breathe a sigh of relief.

The most important thing is that the Emperor of Liao seemed to have seen through the Song Dynasty's intention to control summer.

But...this result is a taken-for-granted result.

Why?

Because power is unified, not dualistic.

Just like a country does not have two emperors, even if it is a prime minister appointed by the emperor himself, the two will have great conflicts, not to mention the two countries of Song and Liao. Therefore, the two emperors of the north and the south are a complete joke.

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom are also quite familiar with our history books. The so-called Song and Liao divided the world equally, just like the Qin Kingdom persuaded the Qi Kingdom to respect the two emperors of the East and West."

As soon as Zhang Yue said these words, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured on the heads of all Song Dynasty officials. Everyone was awakened by the sweet dream just now.

Historically, the Qin Dynasty wanted to proclaim itself emperor, so it sent envoys to the State of Qi to persuade the King of Qi to join him in proclaiming the emperor. The King of Qi foolishly agreed, and the Qin Dynasty and the State of Qi were also called the East and West Emperors. And the State of Qi was also called the Qin State.

Divided by one idea.

The same applies here.

There was a huge conflict between Song and Xia.

Once the Song Dynasty reached an alliance with the Liao Kingdom, it would be a clear sign of the Song Dynasty's determination to destroy Xia.

And in political struggles, the most taboo thing is a bright card!

Seeing this, Xixia must have turned against the Song Dynasty in order to protect themselves, and desperately tried to ally with the Liao Kingdom. The Song Dynasty would also try its best to ally with the Liao Kingdom in order to destroy Xia, and instigated Song and Xia to go to war. The Liao Kingdom only used the phrase "Northern and Southern Emperors,"

What a clever act of alienation.

In fact, Zhang Yue believed that the Song Dynasty should have its own ideas and steps for the extermination of Xia. As for whether the third party Liao supported it, it was not important to the overall grand strategy.

The flowing water does not compete to be first, but it flows in an endless stream.

The most taboo thing in formulating a grand strategy is to be driven by immediate interests.

In another history of time and space, the Song Dynasty's war to destroy Xia was coming to an end. However, they were persuaded by the Jurchen Sea Alliance, and as a result, troops were mobilized from the west to capture Youyan. Finally...

Zhang Yue said: "So I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty for your kindness."

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, the officials of the Song Dynasty also did the same.

Yelupo saw that he had discussed the plan with Xiao Xi all night last night, and Zhang Yue found out in a moment.

Yelupo said rather reluctantly: "Mr. Zhang, please think again. As long as the two countries can be brothers, we can make some concessions on the demarcation of the boundary."

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "The two countries have been brothers for a long time. I don't know where to start talking about this."

Yelu Po and Xiao Xi looked at each other, knowing that they had nothing to do. Now their confidence in coming to negotiate with the Song Dynasty was only 50% of what it was originally.
