Chapter 562

The venue was very large after entering, and a stick singing and dancing troupe was fiddling with musical instruments to praise the grand singing and dancing.

It is not only Xiao Hui and Li Xiahui who are alone, but also young children and officials from Goryeo are accompanying them.

This is the first time Wang Rong has met Lao Xiao, who is famous all over the world. His domineering temperament is very obvious. He and Li Xiahui, a tall, cold, white, and beautiful, and a famous general with a golden sword and an iron horse, are really a bit outstanding here.

Wang Rong's arrival also attracted the attention of the absolute majority, and each had its own thoughts.

"Pick a place to sit down." Li Xiahui smiled politely.

Wang Rong looked unswerving and sat down next to her decisively.

"You..." Li Xiahui frowned slightly at this, but did not continue to say it.

"It turns out that this is the great devil who is famous all over the world. He has been admired for a long time." Xiao Hui smiled and clasped his fists, but he was very rude: "Last time I visited Song State, I was verbally quarreled with the Song State court, and I wish I could enjoy it all, because Lord Xiao Wang was not in the court, which made the Song State all over the country have no confidence."

"Hahaha..." A group of Goryeo officials around him laughed, with a disgusting and sarcastic expression on his face. This means that the whole country of Song is full of cowards.

But unfortunately, this era is so virtuous, and the Liao court has always been so ridiculed, which has brought about such a trend in diplomatic occasions in most countries.

Even if the Qingtang War was victorious, most people are not interested in the Song Dynasty, at least the countries affected by the politics of the Liao Kingdom are like this. It is recognized that the Song Kingdom is just a rich fat sheep who accidentally won a moderate-intensity war. This is not even a nouveau riche in the eyes of the "old nobles".

In the minds of Li Xiahui and the entire Goryeo official group, the Song State army was quite a lot, but they were famously cowardly and had basically no motivation. Except for the Funing Army who could fight and had a relatively high proportion of cavalry, the rest were all legless wastes. Correspondingly, it was now the heyday of the Liao State, claiming to be two million cavalrymen, and they returned to the world.

It is difficult to not surrender without returning home. Don’t care about personality and policy. The numbers on paper of the two countries’ armies are similar, but in this era, cavalry and infantry must have different concepts. The difference is basically the difference between focusing on mechanization and underinfant infantry in later generations.

In addition, Xiao Hui was present, as the god of war who once captured Xingqing's mansion, his prestige and influence here were obviously stronger than MacArthur, who stationed in Japan after World War II in later generations.

So just the opening sarcastic atmosphere of the face was almost covered with red lines on the face of the Demon King.

"You are just a hairless boy. Without our invitation to respond to the letter of the country, you went to the Three Hans to try to exert influence and cause trouble. Today's Song State wants to have no combat power, and the politics is divided, and your own politics and economy are in a mess. Who are you hoping to influence? You openly go to Goryeo to cause trouble, and you clearly want to disagree with the Three Hans and the Great Liao. What do you think of the Two Million-Marched troops in the Great Liao?"

Kim Chi-ming, deputy envoy of the Goryeo Central Government, was a middle-aged man. When he spoke these words in Goryeo, the scene was silent.

"you……"

Li Xiahui also felt that Lao Jin was too overstated. Kneeling on the Liao Kingdom was indeed politically correct in Goryeo, but at this point, it was obviously impossible to take away the hatred of Song Kingdom.

But Li Xiahui could only rely on her father's prestige and looked at Jin Zhiming reproachfully. As a junior, she could not be the deputy minister of Jun.

The great devil didn't understand, but he knew that he was not saying anything good, so he said to the translator of the Ministry of Rites of Song State: "Translation to me?"

After Li Xiahui was maliciously stared at her, she began to mix with her and selectively translated a relaxed version.

Wang Yun remained silent for a long time after listening to it.

Xiao Hui, who was smiling at Yundong from all sides, knew all kinds of languages, looked at Wang Rong and smiled, "How about you, Lord Xiao Wang, what do you think now?"

Wang Yun didn't look at Lao Xiao, and looked at Li Xiahui and said, "Actually, it's okay, everything was as expected. When I was in Daming Mansion today, I used various models to simulate this situation. No matter what route and negotiation method, it will definitely happen and cannot be avoided. Poor and short and weak will inevitably be disliked and will not be diverted by anyone's will."

Li Xiahui's eyebrows slightly raised, and hesitated for a while and gave up confronting him with tit. He only thought about how "everything was as expected" such as self-preservation is too much. He just said that even if Song State is a little overestimated, it is considered an attitude and sincerity. There is no need to give too many ridicule faces, and there is no need to use a cold butt to correspond to other people's hot faces.

Thinking of this, Li Xiahui felt that she had sublimated and her image became taller. So she didn't say a word, but nodded slightly to Wang Rong, then held her glass to drink, and watched the singing and dancing performance absent-mindedly.

Another Goryeo official responded to the spirit of Prime Minister Jin Zhiming and jumped out with his lunch box and said, "Boy from Song State, what is your purpose of diplomacy? You might as well tell me that diplomacy must have real interests, not just talk about it?"

So, he looked at Wang Rong's disdainful expression again in a group manner.

After the translation said, Wang Yun said: "The purpose is simple, I will go back to Fujiwara Photon. The benefits given are trade. Opening the Beijing Port from the Great Song Dengzhou Port is the most effective and convenient maritime trade line. I don't need to say more about what it means to trade directly with the Song State, and I know how much benefits there are."

As soon as this issue was mentioned, the officials of Goryeo looked at each other, but Li Xiahui was embarrassed. This was a temptation. It was the benefit that his father Li Ziyuan wanted but did not dare to take. The reason why Li Xiahui tried to avoid contact with Wang Rong was not because she was afraid of discussing this issue, but because Lao Xiao misunderstood that "Goryeo and Da Song talked about this issue privately."

Now Li Xiahui frowned slightly. Although Wang Rong was a little out of date, she was also very smart. This kind of problem can only be said in front of Lao Xiao, although it will lead to embarrassment. At least we can test how heavy the Liao Kingdom's hostility is.

"It's quite personality and very direct." Old Xiao intervened with a smile.

Li Xiahui was quite disappointed again, and Lao Xiao said something nonsense.

Li Xiahui also understood that the Liao Kingdom was definitely unhappy about this issue, but he could not speak in front of the envoy of the Song Kingdom, because Song Kingdom is not a vassal state of the Liao Kingdom, but a theoretical ally. Especially now the binding cooperation between the two sides involves many aspects, and theoretically, it is impossible to make a public face.

Xiao Hui was really depressed and really had a headache. Wang Yun actually made this problem public. However, Li Xiahui at the scene did not respond in time to show her loyalty, which inevitably made Lao Xiao feel embarrassed. According to the truth, the Liao Kingdom could not respond openly, but Goryeo had to bring her own lunch box to understand the spirit.

Xiao Hui said in time: "I am very curious about who Fujiwara Photon is, why is she in Goryeo, and why did Lord Xiao Wang ask Sanhan for someone?"

"He is the daughter of Japan's Taizheng, my friend. During a maritime trade half a year ago, he was hijacked by pirates in the Bohai Sea." Wang Rong said.

Lao Xiao stopped talking.

Only Li Xiahui paid attention to Lao Xiao's expression and intervened and said, "Since it was a pirate hijacking, why did Lord Xiao Wang come to the Sanhan court to ask for people? You don't think we are pirates, do you?"

Immediately, everyone glared at Wang Rong.

Wang Rong said lightly: "I didn't say that the Sanhan court was a pirate, but my Song State confirmed 100% that it was done by the Sanhan people. Since this is the case, the Sanhan court has the obligation to provide investigation and rescue fairly, right?"

"The incident did not happen in the territory of the Three Koreans, but on the sea. Our Three Koreans courts do not want to be responsible for this. It was a spontaneous act of pirates." Kim Ji-ming intervened.

Wang Rong said: "That means that if my Song Dynasty coast guard troops began to attack pirates, it would be their own internal affairs. Is there no disrespect for the three Hans?"

"You..." Li Xiahui couldn't help but get speechless.

"I don't believe that State Song has the courage." Jin Zhiming said toughly and looked at Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui was extremely embarrassed and secretly scolded Jin Zhiming for being surrounded by Wang Yun. Damn, how could my Liao Kingdom respond to such a question head-on?

Xiao Hui knew better than anyone else in her heart. Wang Rong really dared to do this. First, she publicly asked Goryeo for people. Goryeo fools were surrounded by them and refused to admit that it was the Goryeo navy, and said that it was a spontaneous act of pirates. At this point, the great devil stepped on the steps and threatened that since it was not the Goryeo navy, she would send troops to "suppress the bandits."

This obviously complicates the problem.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Hui carried the wine glass and drank his own, but did not respond. This made Li Xiahui a little disappointed and anxious, so she could only say: "Mr. Xiao Wang's tone was quite tough, just like he was domineering when he intervened in Qingtang's internal affairs, which scared people. But I don't believe that during this period, you can integrate the court politics of your Song State? I don't think they would approve you to send troops?"

Wang Yun's tone became stronger and stronger, "If it was a national war, of course, it would require the authorization of the subordinates of the Secretariat. But His Highness thought too much. According to the advice of the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty, there was no three Korean naval army in the Bohai Sea, only pirates who threatened the interests of the Song Dynasty. The consuls of Dengzhou never needed the authorization of the court to attack the thieves under the influence. Do you need such procedures in Goryeo?"

Lao Xiao intervened and said with a smile: "The magistrate of Dengzhou is Wang Gongchen, haha, when my original appearance and Lao Wang were friends, Lord Xiao Wang should be playing house. You have such a temper that you can slap around everywhere, but Lao Wang doesn't seem to have?"

"Maybe not, but maybe there is." Wang Rong smiled and said, "I never predict the result. I will only work in the direction that is most beneficial to me when encountering things. In this blink of an eye, I have grown up from the play house. I am trying my best to accept new things and new situations, while some old guys are old and decayed."

It seems embarrassing to speak of this, and the smell of gunpowder seems very strong.

An official from the Goryeo diplomatic service frowned and said, "The conversation is not a negotiation at this point. Lord Xiao Wang's theory seems to be: If you can't see Fujiwara Photon, you will send troops?"

Wang Rong said: "I will negotiate when I can, but I can't negotiate this time. Even when I meet someone, I need to have a conflict with the Khitan samurai. This is the current situation I face. So yes, unless I die in Sanhan, I don't see Fujiwara Photon when I leave. The Dengzhou navy will do my best to fight against all unfair behavior in the Bohai Sea."

"Do you think it can solve the problem and beat the pirates?" Li Xiahui had a dark face.

"I can't finish it." Wang Rong said lightly: "But just as it is impossible to eat enough, I eat every day. There is nothing once and for all. This is the obligation of the Dengzhou navy. I have no other skills, and the victory of the Qingtang War is just a lucky chance, but I am the best at cultivating the sense of mission and responsibility of soldiers."

At this point, Li Xiahui looked dark. Under the protection of a great country, the Goryeo officials who had not been threatened for a long time also opened their mouths, not knowing how to respond for the time being? But Lao Xiao of Liao just didn't respond directly to the Song State?

Li Xiahui felt a dilemma. Wang Rong was not a god, but it was recognized that this kid would naturally dare to be out of character. Because his tone became more and more tough, it means that he would start a war after diplomacy was ineffective.

Goryeo was protected by the Iron Cavalry of the Great Liao Dynasty. If the Goryeo court did not show off and directly admitted that it was the Goryeo navy operating in the Bohai Sea, it would not have started a war for the time being, although it was sensitive.

But the disadvantage of doing this is that since those who are not pirates or Goryeo navy, they cannot use the stolen silver to buy supplies from Song State. Once they buy it, they form trade between the two countries, and Liao State will jump. At the same time, it is equivalent to admitting that Goryeo official kidnapped Fujiwara Photon.

But if he did not admit that he was a navy army, Wang Rong could really send troops to the Bohai Sea without passing through the Song Dynasty. In that case, although it was not the overall mobilization of the Song Dynasty and the scale of the troops was extremely limited, it would also make the regional problems infinitely complicated, greatly increasing the cost of Goryeo occupying the Bohai Sea, and allowing the Liao Kingdom to watch jokes on the wall.

In his heart, Li Xiahui really admired the Liao Kingdom, but he also knew that the Liao Kingdom was not less vulgar than the great devil, and even looked even more ugly. As a hegemony, the Liao Kingdom did not like to see anyone rising. The several battles between the Goryeo and the Jurchens were due to the Liao Kingdom's policies, which was no secret at all.

At this point, the scene was already very awkward, almost forcing the Goryeo court, which had no human rights and sovereignty, to make a choice?

Unfortunately, no matter what Li Xiahui's mentality is, this is exactly what the Liao Kingdom needs.
