When Li Qi came to the Song Dynasty, what he did most on state affairs was really negotiations, large and small, with various contents. Li Qi had experienced countless negotiations, which was also the main reason why Zhao Kai sent him here.*,, and
Everyone who has negotiated with Li Qi has one thought, that is, they should not meet this guy next time. But unfortunately, those who want to meet him can't because they are not of a high level.
, you don’t want to meet, but every time the person sitting opposite is Li Qi.
But throughout Li Qi's many negotiations, he has never failed to say so, directly asking the other party what help he needs?
This is very unlike Li Qi's style. You agreed without even negotiating the conditions, saying that there would be no business or treachery.
But in fact, if you listen carefully, there is a lot of mystery in this statement. From beginning to end, Li Qi spoke in a private name and did not involve the Song Dynasty. He even named the relationship between his wife's brother and his brother-in-law.
In this way, the effect of these words has been greatly reduced. In terms of emotion and reason, Li Qi, as the second brother-in-law of Yelu Dashi, cannot sit idly by when his brother-in-law is in trouble. This is what he should do, but this is the only time.
Your brother-in-law's help to his wife's brother has nothing to do with anything else, so don't think too much about it.
Yelu Dashi was not a young bird either. He had experienced countless lives and deaths and was already very mature. He heard the mystery behind Li Qi's words and secretly thought in his heart that this man was indeed as shrewd as the legend said. He kept talking about public and private affairs.
Obviously, when it comes to business matters, he first brings out personal relationships and mixes public and private affairs so that he can move forward and retreat freely.
He knew even more that Li Qi's words were to test him. He pondered for a moment and said hurriedly: "Yelu is really flattered by the generosity of the Privy Council. To be honest, I really hope to get help from your country now."
Li Qi confuses the situation, so he pretends not to know. To put things right, no matter what you say, I believe that is what you mean anyway. I am now on the verge of desperation. If you ask me to kneel down and beg you, you will not hesitate to be more shameless.
What does it matter?
Li Qi listened to him talking about your country, and thought to himself, Okay, you can pretend to be confused for me. I am more afraid of anyone than my acting skills. He pretended not to know, and just asked: "Would you like to hear the details?"
Yelu Dashi said bluntly: "The Wanyan family are rebellious officials and traitors. They are no different from robbers and bandits. Their hearts are comparable to wild wolves. They cannot be trusted. I, the Yelu family, are the orthodox royal family and have been destined by fate. This is because the Wanyan family is not the same."
This is evident from the fact that they have come thousands of miles to hunt me down. They want to deceive themselves and others. They think they can deceive the people of the world by killing all the Yelv clan. But even if they can deceive the people of the world, how can they deceive heaven. Sooner or later, they will definitely do it.
Taste the consequences, I have no doubt about it."
Li Qi sipped his tea and did not answer this question.
Yelu Dashi added: "We, the Liao Dynasty, have had good relations with your country for more than a hundred years. We have been getting along harmoniously. Your country has always been known as a country of gentlemen. To be honest, I was very indignant about your country's aid to the evil deeds. To be honest, I was very angry about this.
I really hate that your country and the Jin Kingdom jointly attacked our country, Daliao. However, as time has passed, it is said that the emperor of your country who just came to the throne, Wen Tao and Wu Lue, is a wise king, incomparable to his father. This makes me put aside my prejudice against your country.
, I hope that we can reunite with your country for a hundred years and jointly fight against the Kingdom of Jin."
Although he was asking for help from Li Qi, he couldn't say that. After all, he was of Yelu bloodline, so he emphasized more on forming an alliance and putting both sides on an equal footing.
Li Qi chuckled and said, "We'll talk about this later, let's talk about it now."
As for the Song Dynasty, it is too much to talk about this matter. After all, it was the Song Dynasty that betrayed the Chanyuan Alliance and attacked the Liao Kingdom with the Jin Kingdom. No matter what, it is your opinion, so he simply did not say it.
Already.
Yelu Dashi felt that what was sitting on it was a marshmallow, and no matter how hard he hit it, he couldn't hit it, so he just went straight to the end. Anyway, if he doesn't talk about it now, he will talk about it later, so he added: "Now Wanyan Zongwang is using despicable tricks.
Encourage the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty to deal with me. If it were only the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty, I would not dare to disturb your country. However, because Wanyan Zongwang is backing me, it is difficult for me to fight against two. Therefore, I hope that your country can
Help.”
One versus two? Huh, if my army hadn't been here, Wanyan Zongwang would have killed you long ago. You really think you are destined to be the one you are destined for. Then go and beg God. Why bother begging me? Li
Qi secretly despised Yelu Dashi, but said: "Prince Yelu, let's talk about it openly. In fact, we have given you a lot of help secretly. For this, we have been burdened with a lot of pressure, because we
We are allies with the Kingdom of Jin, and I personally signed an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin. If I directly provide you with help, it would be betraying my alliance."
Yelu Dashi hurriedly said: "I have said this before, the Wanyan family is a rebellious official and a traitor, and your country should not help the tyranny."
Oh, I understand, he just said this because he wanted to silence me with the fault of our betrayal of the covenant. It can be considered a good intention!
Li Qi nodded and said: "I don't agree with this, but I don't deny it either. But you also said that we were very disappointed in our betrayal of the covenant. In fact, don't talk about you. The current emperor and I are also very disappointed.
disappointed, now we are trying our best to restore the reputation of our Song Dynasty. I believe this is the main reason why you trust our emperor.
If we betray the alliance with the Jin Kingdom again and form an alliance with you, wouldn't it be like weeds on the wall and fall on both sides? This will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of our Song Dynasty. This first time can be said to be a lack of caution.
Think carefully, but if it happens again and again, it will be a matter of national character, so I am sorry, I cannot agree to your request. No matter what, we must abide by the covenant with the Kingdom of Jin, which is also our
Bottom line.”
He is trying to use force. Didn't you say that we have betrayed the covenant? Then I will simply admit it and repent. You can't blame us for betraying the covenant here and ask us to betray the covenant there. Moreover, he is dead in his words.
, if the Song army cannot provide help, then Yelu Dashi has no chance of winning.
Li Qi's tone was so direct that Yelu Dashi was really anxious and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's take your country as an example. If the Jin army is allowed to occupy Shule, the Jin army can threaten Tubo.
region, and can threaten the Hehuang region, it is definitely not a good thing for your country. The ambition of the Jin Kingdom cannot be fully trusted!"
You are not necessarily a good bird. You occupy this place just to increase the bargaining chips with us. Li Qi just listened. He knew this a long time ago and did not deny it. He said: "This is also me.
One of the reasons for coming here.”
Having said this, he stopped abruptly.
You refused to help and said that this was the reason you came here, so what exactly did you mean? Yelu Dashi was a little confused and asked, "Please forgive me for being stupid, but I don't know what the Privy Councilor meant by this?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "What I mean is very simple, that is, you should give up the present and focus on the future."
“Give up on the present?”
Although Yelu Dashi didn't know what he meant, an ominous premonition suddenly arose. After all, giving up is a very painful thing for anyone.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Just give Shule to me."
"What?"
Yelu Dashi stood up suddenly and looked at Li Qi in horror.
Yelv Guyu was also surprised. She did not expect that Li Qi would open his mouth and ask for Shule.
This is undoubtedly taking advantage of the situation and threatening Yelu Dashi!
This made Yelu Dashi extremely angry, and he thought to himself, it's really unreasonable. It's okay if you don't come to help me, but you come to add insult to injury. Huh, you think it's quite beautiful. Let me give Shule to you for nothing. In my dreams, I would rather fight
Even if you die, I will never let you succeed. If you want Shule, come and grab it yourself.
"Don't get excited first, listen to what I have to say first."
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "You are not someone else, but my brother-in-law. No matter what, I will not cheat you. This is just a win-win deal."
Is this a trick? You are not familiar with it, so you are not tricking me. Yelu Dashi laughed angrily, sat down, and said with disdain: "I would like to hear your advice."
His tone was far less respectful than before.
Li Qi didn't care at all. He put the tea cup in front of him forward and said: "Yes, Shule is a strategic and important place for business. It is a piece of fat and extremely valuable. But it is precisely because of this that every day
Everyone wants this piece of fat. Prince Yelu, with your current strength, do you think you can stay here for a long time?
Not to mention the distance, your presence in this world makes it difficult for everyone in the Jin Kingdom to sleep and eat, not to mention that you still occupy such a key location. Even if Wanyan Zongwang cannot capture this place for a while, he will still waste time with you.
, restricting your development. If this continues, you will still be defeated, because you are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and you have no room to survive at all. You will only be slowly compressed by the enemy until you can't breathe. I know you occupy this place.
The purpose, but whether your move is right or wrong depends on your next step."
Yelu Dashi said: "That's not entirely true."
Li Qi smiled and said: "I know what you are saying is that if we, the Song Dynasty, can help, we may be able to change everything, but this is just a possibility. When facing the Jin army, we, the Song Dynasty, are not sure of victory, and in terms of military strength,
Look, I am still slightly inferior to the Jin Army, but the foundation of the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty is far better than yours. Moreover, Shule is still their territory. They can be said to have all the right time, place and people, even if it is two against two,
Our chance of winning is only 30%. If you want us, the Song Dynasty, to abandon our alliance and fight a battle with only a 30% chance of winning, if it were you, would you agree?"
Yelu Dashi fell silent.
Li Qi added: "Now we are holding a hand with cards that are not easy to play, but as long as you are willing to give in a small step, we can still get what we need and play a good hand."
The anger on Yelu Dashi's face receded slightly and he said, "Is it me who will hand over Shule to you?"
"good!"
Li Qi nodded and said: "You have no future in Shule, because with your current strength, you cannot rule Shule at all. In addition to using various forces to restrain each other, you also have other cards in your hand.
It can be fought, but behind Shule there is a vast world."
"You mean the Western Region?"
"Exactly." Li Qi said with a smile: "The Western Region is a huge land with unlimited possibilities. If you get our help, you will definitely have a lot to do in the Western Region. I am full of confidence in this."
It must be said that Li Qi's words are always full of provocation and move people.
Yelu Dashi said: "But you said you won't help me?"
"I didn't say that, I just said that I will not betray the Song-Jin covenant." Li Qi shook his head and said: "Now that you are in Shule, the Jin Kingdom is watching, and of course I will not blatantly provide help to you.
, but once we occupy Shule and you are behind us, the situation will be completely different, and the Jin Kingdom will have no way of noticing.
This is only one, and the second is that once we occupy Shule, we can block the Jin army's path to pursue you. You will no longer have to worry about anything and can develop your own power to your heart's content.
Third, when your power develops strong enough, we can let you in. Then you will have revenge and complaints. Think about it, if you are here in Shule and given ten years to develop, how much stronger can you be?
, it is impossible for you to compete with the Kingdom of Jin. You can only ask for help everywhere. It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. No one has the obligation to help you take revenge. You still have to rely on yourself in the end. Instead of begging me in a low voice, you can
It's better to go out and have a try by yourself.
One thing you can rest assured is that the help we provide will definitely exceed your expectations, because we also have many entangled interests in the Western Regions. When you can expand, it is also a good thing for us. We have no reason not to help you.
, within five years, you can make a comeback."
After these words, Yelu Dashi was very tempted. He really had not thought of this before. He had only thought of using Shule's criticality to provoke a war between Song and Jin Dynasties, so that he could reap the benefits. Unfortunately, Wanyan Zongwang
Neither Li Qi nor Li Qi were fooled, they were all tampering behind the scenes, and no one wanted to start a war against the other.
But he never thought that he would throw Shule out and let them compete with each other, while he would retreat to the second line and develop his own power.
If the Song Dynasty could really provide him with help and help him prevent the Jin army from chasing him, a mere Shule would not matter. As Li Qi said, he could claim such a large piece of land in the Western Regions, and Li Qi
What Qi said is right, it is better to seek help from others than from yourself. No one in this world is a fool, but you, Yelu Dashi, are smart.
If that were the case, Yelu Dashi would be happy to agree.
The question is whether Li Qi can be trusted.
Yelu Dashi still said very conservatively: "But you said before that you would not betray the Song-Jin covenant. If I give Shule away to you, wouldn't you be betraying the Song-Jin covenant? Wanyan Zong saw that you let me go, and then
How can I be willing to give up?"
Li Qi laughed loudly and said: "This is probably the easiest question today. If we do a military exercise, everything will be fine."
