Eagle Byzantium

Ye Dechen then tried his best to say that he had been unyielding for the imperial and Song Dynasty after being captured. He had no hope of coming back alive, but now that he was serving as such an important diplomatic envoy to the "Haixi Fulong Barbarians", he was afraid of being with the other party. Wouldn't it be a shame if the ruler and the emperor had difficulty communicating and delayed important events?

But these people did not listen to what Ye Tongpan said, and forced him to give him credentials, seals, etc. Ye Tongpan was sitting on a shoulder cart and was forcibly carried out of the camp. He cried loudly and walked to a distance of only twenty kilometers away. In front of the "Fulu Imperial Camp".

Behind the snow, in the Roman military camp, the tents were neatly arranged, the roads were crisscrossed, and white smoke billowed out. The cavalry and infantry were practicing formations and fighting techniques with each other enthusiastically, while the shooters were checking whether their firearms were malfunctioning, and the entire camp was filled with murderous intent.

The cold wind blew on Ye Tongpan's face, but he felt stiff. He lowered his head and walked off the platform, and saw the huge imperial camp in front of the Central Campus. The double-headed eagle flag on it was shining in the sun. .

"I want to form a good and brotherly alliance between Qin and Jin with the Great Fairy King of the Song Dynasty. Is that okay?" On the golden throne, Gawain was wearing a slender golden robe and a Monomach crown. Surrounded by guards, he He asked Ye Tongpan, who was ashen as ashes at the bottom of the stairs.

"So... the best..." Ye Dechen held it in for a long time before he came out with this sentence. It was very different from his previous image of being angry and speaking calmly when he was captured.

"However, I am afraid that the Great Fair King will use the peace talks as bait, but in fact he wants to devour Isfahan and Constantinople. Judge Ye Tong, you are an old friend of mine. I wonder if you have a reliable commitment to this?"

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. How can we, the Emperor Song Dynasty, lose its integrity? Wouldn't that make the world laughable?" Ye Dechen hurriedly followed the trend.

"Oh..." The emperor looked worried and stroked his beard with his hand, "But didn't Ye Tongpan say that the emperors and Song Dynasty's cavalry marched together and fought with each other, just like a man using his arms?"

"A little exaggeration, a little exaggeration." Ye Dechen forced a smile, sweat oozing from his ears.

"There are also a hundred thousand swords and thunder and fire guns, which can be unstoppable when fired in succession?"

"Slightly, slightly."

"There are even more iron kites and lame men in Hengshan who regard the Roman military formation as child's play?"

"Ye heard it from a rumor, it's just a rumor." After listening to the interpretation, Ye Dechen couldn't cover his sweat, and it was pouring out. Even his Chinese clothes were printed and dyed in large pieces, which was rare in winter.

"There are still Liuding Liujia. Didn't King Fairy delay the time and use it to transport a hundred thousand troops from the country overnight, and then tear up the treaty to destroy me?" A dramatic expression of terror suddenly appeared on Gawain's face, and his voice was very professional. Tremble.

The Holy Sister behind the curtain also found it quite interesting and couldn't help laughing.

"That's just a casual talk fabricated by some witch doctors and wizards. It's simply ridiculous!" Ye Dechen stopped sweating, raised his head and threw the pot with a straight face.

The emperor laughed a few times, frowned, retracted his leaning body, and said to Ye Dechen thoughtfully, "Then, is Ye Tongpan coming here to condemn our move to capture Amur City?" ?”

"Yes, the two sides are in the peace negotiation stage. I'm afraid such a move is inappropriate."

"But in the original peace treaty text, Amur City originally belonged to the west side of the Oxus River and also belonged to Great Khorasan. I made no mistakes in taking it." The emperor said.

Ye Dechen was still preparing to make a roundabout defense, when Gawain suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him, and replaced him with a stern questioning tone: "Go back and tell the King of Justice, since he feels that it is inappropriate for me to capture Amur, and I have a different opinion with him, Then don't interact with each other Envoys and negotiation documents are a waste of energy and time - I am ready for a decisive battle, and I am not ready to conclude peace with him. I will have a quick showdown to decide whose orders the people in this land should follow. , this is the best!”

"Your Majesty!" Ye Tongpan was shocked and actually stepped forward to forcefully deliver the credentials, hoping that Gao Wen could read them.

But the emperor had no interest in doing so, and instead threw the previous letter of credence down the stairs, "If you need to declare the legal principles of war, the copy of the peace treaty I signed earlier is here. There are small notes in it, which make it very clear. , If the Great Fair King still does not return to the Oxus River within five days, the truce between the two sides will be automatically invalidated, and the two sides will be regarded as enemies again! "

"Annotation, annotation... How can a dignified national document be so reasonable?" Ye Dechen also became angry.

"Roman law, the annotations in the treaty can cover the entire text, and of course the text can be invalidated." Gawain waved his hand and explained, although he learned this trick from the Venetians.

Ye Dechen's tongue was frozen, and then the emperor asked him one thing in a row, which was like a sharp knife piercing his heart, "I found a lot of pesticides, seeds, and agricultural tools in the luggage of the captured Song army. What is their purpose?"

As a result, Ye Dechen refused to answer, so Gao Wen immediately announced in a loud voice that the diplomacy between the two sides had broken down, and that a decisive battle would replace any negotiation from now on:

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"I, Basileus of the Roman Empire, ruler of Constantinople, owner of both seas and lands, protector and father of all Roman citizens, holder of the umbrella of Antinium, law and justice sword, husband of the noble Basilisa King, father of the noble Augustus, Thrace, Macedonia, Thessalonica, Moria, Crete, Mosia, Savoy, Dalmatia, Carinthia, Epirus , Crimea, Lydia, Bithynia, Chi Lord of Licia, the islands of the Holy Sea, Cyprus, Antioch, and Tripoli, suzerain of the principalities and emirates of Georgia, Greater Armenia, Shirvan, Hadiya, and Aleppo, Caliph of Baghdad, and Pope of Bali. Friend, the guardian of the Isfahan Palace, hereby declares war on King Ping Ping of Song Dynasty who invaded the Khorasan area for no reason and provoked an attack on the peace and order, and asked him to prepare all the troops and weapons. Just under the city of Mofu, he separated out in a dignified manner. Win or lose.

It is the fairest and most sacred act to show the courage of a Varyag to decide everyone's life and death. "

"The Haixi barbarians are completely unreasonable. The Haixi barbarians are completely unreasonable!" Ye Dechen's mood also became intense, and he simply started yelling and cursing, but a group of guards wearing heavy armor rushed up and killed him after the emperor finished reading. He dragged him out of the imperial camp, forced him to be pushed on a shoulder cart and sent away, and stuffed the golden edict declaring war into his arms. Ye Dechen especially cursed angrily in the audience, "The barbarians in Haixi are crowned with monkeys. , completely inhumane, worse than a beast!”

After Ye Dechen returned to camp, all the ordinary soldiers in King Da Ping's army were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to fight to the death against the traitorous enemy. But the senior officials went about their daily routine again. Zhao Liangsi scolded Ye Dechen for not having the ability to serve as an envoy, and could only act out of anger and give people advice; while Lu Yihao accused Zhao Liangsi of betraying his employer and seeking glory, making diplomacy so passive; Ye Dechen also wrote a letter saying that if not When Guo Yaoshi and Wang Xianzong demolished the river embankment, how could the people be so rebellious and the situation be so passive? The two elders, Tong and Liu, threatened Ye Dechen. Why did they criticize two senior civil and military officials who had died for their country?

In the end, Tong Guan had experience in fighting, "You don't need to argue, it's just a hen that lost its chicks. The enemy has never had the intention to negotiate with our army. For the current plan, this must be the case!"
