Chapter 817 Yan Yun: Liaoxia is a weak country without diplomacy!
"Chief Coach!"
In Yanjing's Sui'an Academy, Yang Xing and Yang Xiong walked in hand in hand.
Li Yan put down the book and his eyes became clear again: "Sit down!"
"Thank you, Chief Coach!"
Yang Xiong clasped his fists, while Yang Xing, who had become the prefect of Yanzhou, was more respectful and especially excited.
In fact, if it had just begun to occupy Yanyun and Han officials had known that the backstage of the rural army was not the Song Dynasty court, they would have panicked, because without a strong court as support, people's hearts would be unstable, and logistics problems would be even more serious.
The boss is in trouble.
But when they discovered it, it was too late. At the same time, they also realized that although the Xiangjun was not of the same mind as the Song Dynasty court, they were not alone. On the contrary, Hebei and Shandong, which were close to the rear, were the backing of the Xiangjun.
Even with the support of the Song Dynasty court, the actual logistics mainly came from these two places. Maybe the local government offices would still push back and hold back, and there would be many constraints...
As a result, the Xiang army no longer had a stupid central commander who could point fingers. Lu Junyi, who was guarding Tanzhou, was even more brave. Before the Liao army came over, he took the initiative to lead troops to attack Zhongjing Road, decimating the Xi tribe several times and plundering many captives.
The Han people brought Yanyun back, and their hearts became more and more stable.
Now, the township army has occupied Yanyun for nearly a year. If they suddenly announced at this time that they would obey the orders of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, it would trigger a great panic in the local area...
Never! Never!
The thinking of the common people is very simple. Lin Yiyong keeps his word and treats them as human beings. They finally have a good life. If Zhao and Song officials were replaced, who knows what would happen?
The Yanyun officials also have very practical ideas. They have been promoted and reused now. The current situation has stabilized, and the township army has demonstrated their civil and military skills. How could they choose the court center who fled south and moved the capital?
Both soldiers and civilians, whether for a peaceful life or a bright future, are willing to follow the rural army closely!
Under such circumstances, how could Yang Xing not be ecstatic to be able to come into this study and listen to the teachings of the head coach?
Li Yan was quite satisfied with this Han official who took refuge first.
He currently has too few literary and political talents under his command, and teaching requires time and cannot be achieved overnight. However, this group of Yanyun and Han civilian officials, under the oppression of the Khitans, have certain governance capabilities, are also very obedient, and are easy to use.
.
And the longer time goes by, the less this group of people dare to betray. No matter whether it is the north or the south, it will be difficult for them to end well. They can only win and lose with the rural army.
Introducing him as a confidant needs to be gradually investigated, but it is still necessary to set up a few examples of people who have risen to the top as an inspiration and example. Yang Xing is one of them, and that is why we had this meeting: "What happened to the envoys of Liao and Xia?"
Yang Xiong, who has now joined the chief detective's secret camp, said: "Everything was as expected by the chief instructor. The envoys of the two countries killed each other on the way, trying to kill each other. We sent people to protect them in time and saved them."
Yang Xingdao: "Ever since the main force of the Liao army came to Xixia, but turned against them and attacked, and finally forced the Xixia monarch to cede territory to the Liao, the two countries have turned against each other. Now the envoys of the two countries actually directly sent assassins to assassinate each other, which is even more torn apart.
Shameless."
Li Yan knew this very well, because it was his other identity that prompted it, and asked: "During the assassination process by both sides, did Xixia have the upper hand?"
Yang Xiong nodded immediately: "Exactly, the envoy sent by Xixia is named Renduo Baozhong. He is a general who leads the army. The guards around him are also personal guards. They are not comparable to the envoys of the Liao Kingdom. The chief instructor is really aware of everything!"
Li Yan asked: "What did you see from this?"
As one of the reserve members of the fifth phase of Sui'an, Yang Xiong pondered for a moment and said, "Is Xixia at the end of its rope and bet all its treasure on diplomacy?"
Li Yan smiled: "It's true that it's not rude to say something rude."
"The king of Xixia, Li Qianshun, ascended the throne at a young age and was always in power by his mother's clan. It was not until the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was poisoned by an envoy sent by the Liao State that she was able to take charge of the throne. It has only been three years since."
"To be able to subdue domestic opposition forces in such a short period of time, instigate the Liao Emperor to send troops, and then mobilize 300,000 domestic troops to overwhelm Shaanxi, this person's wise decision is quite remarkable."
"But he can't change Xixia's weakest national power among the Three Kingdoms, let alone restore the Xixia elite that Empress Dowager Xiaoliang lost in the previous battles. Therefore, there is actually no chance of making mistakes in this battle. If it is defeated by the Western Army alone, That’s fine, the loss won’t be too big, but it’s going to be too painful to be stabbed in the back by the Liao army this time!”
"The real crisis in Xixia now does not lie in ceding territory to Liao, but in the series of chain reactions caused by it. The imperial conquest suffered a disastrous defeat, and the previous pressure will naturally rebound. If my expectations are correct, the situation in Xixia will definitely In the chaos, the various Qiang ethnic groups under the jurisdiction of the Dangxiang people must have begun to act according to the wind and find their own way out..."
Yang Xiong nodded repeatedly after hearing this, while Yang Xing vaguely understood that this person was teaching them negotiation skills. His eyes moved and he said boldly: "Thank you, Chief Coach, for your guidance. We will deal with these two groups of envoys well..." If they want to see the head coach, we will refuse them!"
Li Yan said approvingly: "The envoys of the two countries waited in Daming Mansion to be summoned by Jinling. The right way was to wait. However, they lingered for several months and finally went north to Yanyun. This is obviously an evil plan. However, I am a great country and I will not care about the barbarians. You see. It’s also polite to do so.”
Yang Xing understood the idea, and Yang Xiong asked for advice: "General Coach, what is the situation in Liao Kingdom?"
Li Yan smiled: "With Emperor Zuo of Tian, Yelu Yanxi, the Liao Kingdom will not be well."
"After Emperor Tianzuo defeated Xixia, he finally returned home with the main force of the Liao army, but he still stayed in Xijing Road. On the one hand, he wanted to force Xixia to fulfill the treaty and cede the land so that he could go back and deliver missions to various ministries. On the other hand, he The Zhongjing Road was occupied by Yelv Dezhong, while the Jurchen army emerged on the Tokyo Road. After defeating Yelv Dezhong's army, the two sides stopped making peace, and there was a back-and-forth between them."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Originally, there was Xiao Wuna, the King of Lanling, beside Emperor Tianzuo. This time he turned the corner in the Song Dynasty, and diplomatically forced the court to sign the Baoyou Alliance, all thanks to this veteran minister He came up with plans, but his achievements were so great that Emperor Tianzuo couldn't tolerate him. He delayed returning to the capital because he was afraid that Xiao Wuna would support Yelu and become the new emperor again. However, he wanted to kill this old minister, but he couldn't do it now. It's just like this..."
"To sum up, among the five capital roads of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Emperor occupied the Xijing Road, his younger brother Yelu Dezhong occupied the Zhongjing Road, the Jurchens occupied the Tokyo Road, and the Nanjing Road, which was Yanyun, was recovered. Such a domestic situation, although it is still
It’s not really falling apart, but the balance it maintains is extremely fragile.”
"At this time of great internal troubles, the Liao Kingdom sent envoys to Yanyun. It must have been Xiao Wuna's plan. He was afraid that I, Yanyun, would send troops northward again. For this reason, there may not be an imperial edict or handwriting from the Liao Emperor."
"Because the headstrong Yelu Yanxi, after seizing the territory of Xixia, became increasingly unable to accept bowing to Yan Yun. You can use this attack to make the Liao envoys tired of dealing with it."
As a member of the Chief Detective's Secret Battalion, Yang Xiong had obtained a lot of information, but he did not have such a clear overview of the overall situation. He was enlightened when he heard: "I see... I see..."
Yang Xing felt even more at ease.
As Yanyun Han people who have relied on the Khitan people to survive since childhood, it is obviously impossible to say that the fear has completely disappeared in just one year, but today's reality tells them that the Khitan people can not only defeat
, and is sliding step by step towards the abyss of eternal destruction!
At this point, Yang Xiong was already confident, but there was one question he didn't dare to ask, but he had to ask: "We already know how to deal with the envoys from the two countries, just in case they come up with some unreasonable ideas, such as the previous visit to Daming Mansion
At that time, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom spread the word that they would marry the Liao Emperor's sister to the chief instructor..."
Li Yan said calmly: "Xiao Wuna is a scheming person and is very skilled in diplomatic methods. That's why I let the envoy stay in Daming Mansion for three months. Now this matter should almost be reduced to a laughing stock. You must not only be strict
If you refuse, at the right time, we will send envoys to question Yelu Yanxi so that he will never be able to step down. By then, Xiao Wuna’s death will really come..."
Yang Xiong was secretly frightened. Compared with war, diplomacy is really killing without blood.
Li Yan stood up and took a book from the bookshelf and handed it over: "Give this "Secret History of the Former Tang Dynasty" to the envoy of the Liao Kingdom. The editor is very talented. Didn't the Liao Kingdom claim to be the orthodox Tang Dynasty?"
Let them see more!"
Yang Xiong took the book with both hands and felt a little embarrassed: "I understand the good intentions of the general coach, but these Khitan dogs may not be interested in this novel..."
Li Yan smiled slightly: "As envoys, they will be interested. The first chapter "The Bleeding Eagle" tells the story of Princess Taiping who wanted to harm the empress Wu Zetian in order to seize power..."
Yang Xiong was startled, and subconsciously turned a page with his fingers. He wanted to read it himself.
Killing one's mother to seize power is unjust, but when it is arranged for the power-hungry mother and daughter, Princess Taiping and Wu Zetian, it suddenly becomes more reasonable.
The key is that this is a perfect reference to the past to satirize the present. No wonder the editor is praised by the head coach, he is indeed talented!
Li Yan finally concluded: "Although I, Yanyun, do not have a vast territory, we have the support of our compatriots in Hebei and Shandong. We are facing two sick and weak countries with internal and external troubles and many crises. You must remember that a weak country has no diplomacy. Naturally,
Can handle the envoys of these two countries reasonably!"
The two of them were in high spirits and accepted the order: "Yes!"
After leaving the study room, Yang Xiong praised: "Living in Yanyun, stabilizing the hearts of the soldiers and civilians, and knowing the overall situation of the world without leaving home, this is our chief instructor!"
Yang Xing rubbed his palms and said more directly: "Throughout the ages, those who want to achieve great things have always stayed in a corner and developed silently. It is unheard of to rise in a place where two major countries such as Yanyun are competing, and it can still be seen.
The two big countries are weak countries, but they still have their own reasons. It’s amazing!”
Yang Xiong laughed: "Let's go! Go see the envoy!"
Still want to use diplomacy to play tricks on us?
Yan Yun is now saying that Liao Xia is a weak country without diplomacy!
