"What should I do? Xiao Wuna, this old dog, is extremely cunning and will never let go. If he doesn't give me some sweetness, as long as he doesn't agree, what conditions can I take to indicate that the Daliao sends troops?"
"What's more, the land we ceded to Northern Liao is just a strategy of equity. As long as we can regain the land of the Three Prefectures and accumulate energy for three or five years, we will find a good opportunity to regain these lands belonging to our Great Liao."
"Ren Duoqing, you said this just to comfort me, right?" After hearing this, Li Ganshun, who had always had a gloomy face and remained silent, couldn't help but raise his head and look at Ren Duo Zong Bao.
"Your Majesty, how dare I deceive you? Your Majesty, think about it, it would be fine if the Northern Liaoxing army went south and captured the land of these three states for my Daxia. So what if that land was given to Northern Liao first?"
"At that time, the main enemy of Song State was no longer my Daxia, but Northern Liao. In this way, the pressure on my Daxia can be alleviated..."
Li Ganshun gradually understood in Renduo Zongbao's explanation. Yes, the Northern Liao Dynasty was raising troops to attack. At that time, it was the frontal force between Northern Liao and the Song Dynasty.
The two sides will inevitably have a large-scale battle in the three prefectures of Yan, You and Hong, and without calculating the winning or losing, the peace that has been maintained between Northern Liao and Song Kingdom for decades will be gone to ashes.
Wei Ming Awu also agreed with him and nodded repeatedly. "If Northern Liao is victorious, we will cut the territory to Northern Liao, so that our territory between Daxia and Northern Liao will be connected. In this way, if there are police in the three prefectures of Daxia, the soldiers and horses of Northern Liao can arrive in the morning and evening."
"If Northern Liao was defeated, it would probably not be easy for Song State. Even if our Daxia cannot get back to the three states, at least we don't need to worry about the Song State launching a northern expedition in a short period of time, but can concentrate on restoring our strength..."
"So, in the short term, it seems that my Daxia suffered a big loss, but in fact, in the long term, it is beneficial to my Daxia. That's why the old minister advises you to agree."
"Thank you for your hard work in Renduoqing. I was not considerate enough and almost lost my big deal because of a small loss..." Li Ganshun nodded, and his face gradually became relaxed.
Similarly, after Xiao Wuna returned to his residence, he wrote his pen like a flying pen, writing down the agreement with the king of Xixia in detail, and attached a covenant with both parties to stamp the contract.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Wuna once again wrote a long letter of thousands of words to the important officials in the court, the political affairs minister, and the Privy Council clerk Yelu Yan, who was in charge of the Privy Council, and then summoned his trusted subordinates and asked him to rush to Shangjing immediately with the documents, and he would send them to the Emperor of the Daliao as soon as possible.
"You must not delay any longer. The longer the time is, it will be very unfavorable for our Great Liao and Western Xia. Also, this letter must be handed over to the Privy Councillor Yelu Yan to tell him that if our Great Liao can overcome this problem safely, we can only ask him."
"Don't worry, the senior official will definitely arrive in Shangjing as quickly as possible and will tell you to the Privy Council." The trusted subordinate gave Xiao Wu's deep bow, took the covenant and letter, and then quickly left.
Until this moment, Xiao Wuna seemed to be in a little better mood. After rubbing her temples that seemed to be swollen due to excessive drinking, Xiao Wuna began to walk in the study.
He was the envoy of Xuanwei of the Northern Court of the Great Liao Dynasty. From going to Beijing to the south, he arrived at Xingqing Prefecture in Xixia two days ago. He stayed in the territory of Song State for two or three months.
Throughout the journey, Xiao Wuna really felt a lot. Compared with the Great Liao, which obviously withered people and had trouble in the north, the Song State was obviously much richer and stronger than the Great Liao.
In the past, the reason why the Great Liao has always been able to gain a huge military advantage was that it was that the Great Liao had a vast grassland that was almost boundless, and it also had countless good horses and cavalry.
After the founding of the State of Song Dynasty to the Western Xia Dynasty, there was almost no place to raise horses in the country. At the beginning of its establishment, there were still 100,000 cavalrymen. By the time of Emperor Yingzong, the cavalry of Song Dynasty was only less than 20,000.
Later, Emperor Shenzong of Song State was very energetic and determined to reform, which increased the cavalry of Song State from not surrendered, reaching more than 30,000. However, after the death of Shenzong, the old woman Gao Taotao's ears were too soft, and many of Shenzong's policies that benefit the country and the people were almost abolished.
Later, the civil officials of the Song State became more and more unscrupulous. Although the armed forces of the Song State seemed extremely large, they were actually extremely bloated and had long been dispersed in battle formations, which was insufficient to threaten the Great Liao.
As an important official of the Great Liao Dynasty, Xiao Wuna, who had always been very concerned about the political situation in the Northern Song Dynasty, celebrated with many great Liao officials who were loyal to the Great Liao Dynasty but were also concerned about the country.
He also proposed to Yelu Hongji several times to go south to attack the Song State, but all the suggestions were rejected by the Emperor of the Great Liao, believing that the Great Liao should live in peace with the Great Song Dynasty and should not cause border quarrels lightly.
However, he made many ministers of the Great Liao Dynasty angry, but he was helpless. Now, Zhao Xu, a young emperor of the Song Dynasty, is in charge of power. His ambitions are like the Emperor of Shenzong in the past.
This made Xiao Wuna keenly feel a strong sense of crisis. Zhao Xu's aggressiveness would have been fine if there were no famous ministers and generals to assist him.
But, Su Dongpo, a famous minister who is famous overseas, is still here, and now he is in charge of Shaanxi Road. There are also such generals, and the generals of the Zhe family are still talented.
In addition, there is another person that needs to be mentioned, that is, Wang Yang, Wang Wushan, who had repeatedly dealt with many times in Yanzhou.
Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, who are said to be from Bianliang, Tokyo, the Song Dynasty. He was born in a lowly brothel pavilion. Before he became famous, he was just the nephew of a brothel madam. He worked in a brothel while studying poetry and books (??)
Last year, because of the conflict between Yihong Building and other brothels, Wang Yang finally began to emerge. As the saying goes, if he doesn't make a sound, he will make a big splash. The speed of Wang Yang's Wang Wushan is so fast that it is scary.
"Since last year, in less than a year, he has gone from being a Bai Ding who has nothing to become a powerful minister of founding county duke and the governor of the three states, and is deeply favored by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao."
"In the capital, it is said that it improved the iron armor of the Song State, developed the Yuanyou crossbow, and invented the building materials that could be as hard as rocks in just one day. After we arrived in the Song capital Bianliang, the street that seemed to be built like a whole huge stone was made of the building materials it invented, and then it improved the iron smelting method of the Song State..."
The expressions of the confidants sitting in front of Xiao Wuna, who had originally seemed relaxed because the Liao Dynasty was about to send troops gradually became serious.
"After he followed Su Dongpo to Shaanxi Road, he made a series of tricks, causing the defeat of the Lianghou of the Western Xia Dynasty, tens of thousands of troops to become prisoners of the Song State. Then, he attacked Yanzhou at night, saying that he surrendered Liang Yibi and led a 100,000 troops to return to Song, Xianyou and Hongzhou."
