Chapter 262 You actually want to do business together? (Fourth update)
Xiao Fengyuan, who was completely shocked by the news, felt as if he had entered a mystery.
What the hell does that mean? Li Qianshun from Xixia clearly begged, hoping that Daliao would help.
Suppress the Song State, which currently has the advantage on the battlefield, and also hope to let the Song State give up the occupied land.
As a result, as an envoy from the Liao Kingdom, I had just arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo in the Song Dynasty, and felt that I was a little confused.
Yelu Hongguang reported to Xiao Fengxian the information he had obtained during the past two days from asking those officials of the Song Dynasty who were secretly colluding with the Liao Kingdom.
Although these ministers are only fifth-grade officials at the highest level and cannot involve high-level officials, they all know more or less some information.
Although Yelu Hongguang could not wait until Xiao Feng, who was able to make a decision, came back first, he still did a lot of work as the chief officer of the Daliao State Information Office.
Based on the intelligence and information passed to him by those officials, after comprehensive analysis, the conclusion reached is this.
The reason why the peace talks between Xixia and the Song Dynasty were hidden from the Liao Kingdom was probably because the Song Dynasty was preparing to take action against the Tubo and Qinghai tribes.
The Song Dynasty was short of war horses, which was a fact known to the world. However, they had been fighting Xixia for many years, and although they were often able to win, they were unable to pursue the enemy and expand their results.
"But now, Song Ting has mastered a new type of long-range weapon, which has very powerful lethality."
"Xixia considered themselves invincible, so they could only proactively seek peace from Song Ting, and were willing to contribute a large number of weapons to show their sincerity.
He also claimed that the reason why Xixia repeatedly invaded the border was because of the instigation of Daliao..."
Xiao Fengxian listened to the analysis of Yelu Hongguang beside him with an extremely ugly expression, although he looked at it based on various intelligence.
The peace negotiations between the Song State and Xixia must be true in all likelihood. Otherwise, why would the Xixia people always prohibit exports?
Why are there so many Xia swords that were only occasionally presented as precious gifts to the emperor of Liao?
According to Yelu Hongguang, the Imperial Guards guarding the Song Dynasty Palace all used Xia swords.
Yes, in order to prove it, Yelu Hongguang personally walked near the Imperial Palace of the Song Dynasty and saw with his own eyes that the waists of those imperial guards were no longer the hand swords of the Song Dynasty, but the standard style of Xia Guojian.
If a large number of Xia swords had not been sent to the Song Dynasty, would they have dared to be so extravagant that they would even use the imperial guards who guarded the gate? Of course it was impossible.
"And the official also heard..."
Yelu Hongguang was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should report this news to Xiao Fengxian, who was in power because of his sister and didn't have much brains.
"What did you hear? Tell me quickly." Xiao Fengxian glared at this guy dissatisfied.
"The lower official heard that Tong Guan, the internal official of the Song Dynasty who has been in charge of the military affairs of the Song Dynasty's western expedition to Xia, has secretly reported to the emperor of the Song Dynasty that he will join forces with Xixia to attack the Liao Dynasty."
"This, how is this possible?!" Xiao Fengxian jumped up immediately, his face full of disbelief.
"I am not sure whether this news is true or not, but if Xixia hid the truth from Daliao, surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and offered its country's sharp soldiers, why did they come?"
"It is said that the Song Dynasty deliberately abandoned the past idea of treating Xixia as a traitor, and in the Xixia Kingdom, because of the fact that the late Emperor Daozong of the Liao Dynasty sent envoys to kill the Queen Mother.
This made many generals in the Xixia Kingdom who had been favored by the Liang family hate the Liao Dynasty with deep hatred..."
"Although Xixia is small, it still has 20 to 300,000 elite soldiers. As for the Song Dynasty, its strength is similar to that of the Liao Dynasty. If the two countries really abandon their differences."
"I dare not say that they can severely damage Daliao, but the Sixteen Provinces of Youyan, which have been in Daliao's hands for more than a hundred years..."
There were too many entanglements and grievances between the three countries of Liao, Song, and Xixia. There were periods of mutual hostility among the three countries.
Since the founding of Xixia, the Song Dynasty has always regarded it as a rebellion, and there have never been wars between the two countries.
It was precisely because of the war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia that the Liao Dynasty could watch the drama happily and happily.
But if Song and Xixia really shake hands and make peace, and there is a tendency to join forces, then the situation will definitely become quite bad for Daliao.
Compared with the elite Xixia and Song border armies who were fighting all day long to train a large number of elites, the Liao Dynasty had been at peace for too long, and because the territory of the Liao Dynasty was too vast, its troops were scattered throughout the Liao Dynasty.
The only place where heavy troops are stationed is the land bordering the Song State. If Daliao is suddenly attacked by the Song State, Xixia, which secretly joins forces with the Song State, will quietly attack Xijing (Datong Prefecture) of the Liao Dynasty.
Just thinking about the possible consequences of this. Both Yelu Hongguang and Xiao Fengsheng were frightened into a cold sweat by this possibility.
The important thing is that the two countries are actually talking about peace secretly. If this Taima doesn't harbor evil intentions towards Daliao, why not be more open about it?
Xiao Fengxian listened to the analysis of the chief officer of the Daliao Guoxin Institute, and the more he analyzed, the more he became confused.
But at this time, someone came to report again, claiming that Gaozhang, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, came to look for Xiao Fengxian again.
"You came just in time..." Yelu Hongguang, who was also in a mess inside at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he whispered in Xiao Fengxian's ear.
Xiao Fengxian had a look of surprise on his face and had to give a thumbs up to this scheming deputy Yelu Hongguang.
Gao Zhang was deeply favored by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and his father was the Grand Lieutenant of the Song Dynasty. Presumably, he knew some secrets.
Moreover, at such a young age, he has so much brains. It would be easy to get words out of him...
#####
When Xiao Feng arrived at the gate of the house to greet him, he noticed that Gao Zhang was not the only one who came.
Behind him, there was actually a large car with several boxes on it.
"Brother Xiao asked my younger brother yesterday if there is any big business that you, Brother Xiao, are suitable for.
After listening to everyone's report today, I got inspiration, and today I came over to have a good chat with you, Brother Xiao, about cooperation."
Although Gao Zhang's voice was very low, it was still heard clearly by those standing nearby.
"... Doing business?" Yelu Hongguang glanced at Gao Zhang blankly, then glanced at Xiao Fengxian, and he was completely confused.
I'm here as an envoy to the Song Dynasty, right? How come in the blink of an eye, you actually want to do business together?
Even his beloved horse has been given away. Xiao Fengxian, who is now so poor that he may have to sell himself if he wants to go out and spend a lot of money, his eyes suddenly light up.
But after hearing Yelu Hongguang's whisper beside him, he suddenly woke up.
"Brother, I'll talk to you later. Come on, please come in quickly."
Let's see if we can get any useful information from this little brother first.
