"Your Majesty, our Great Liao Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we should first be polite and then soldiers..."

The one who proposed to be polite and then soldier was Ma Zhi's uncle, and Tongzhi, the Southern Privy Council, served as the Ma Renwang.

Of course, he didn't want the war in the Song and Liao dynasties. Now the Ma family in Yiwulushan has become rich! He has purchased a huge industry in Jiehe Commercial City, and has joined forces with several other big families to "contract" Suzhou Commercial City (Suzhou, Liao Kingdom), and its business is booming. If the war in the Song and Liao dynasties begins, then his family's losses will be huge.

Moreover, Ma Renwang also knew that Jiehe Shangshi was not easy to capture Jiehe Shangshi, and his nephew Ma Zhi was to blame. When the Shangshi violated the regulations of the Chanyuan Alliance, Ma Zhi did not report it at all. It was not until the red walls were towering that Yelu Yanxi knew about it.

Then Ma Zhi contacted the market again, spending more than 100,000 yuan to clear the three brothers Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian and Xiao Sixian, and turned the big and small things into small things.

In addition, the Ma Renwang knew that the strength of the Jianhe River and the Shangshi Navy was ineffective in the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, as long as the Shangshi City was determined to block the Jiehe River, Xijin Prefecture might have no food, and the Liao soldiers could not cross the river.

Xiao Baoxian, a left-behind defender in Nanjing, also replied: "Your Majesty, I think you should be polite and then the army, and you must not start a war in a hurry. After all, our army has not yet gathered together, and the Hetao on the Western Front is particularly empty. Moreover, Huerzhahus has not been wiped out, and the birth of the Jurchens in Liaodong Road is unstable... If the war is unfavorable, it will cause chaos!"

Although Huerzhahus is not as good as his Mogus, he is a young strongman who cannot be killed. He was defeated by the northwest Zhaodaosi of the Liao army several times, but he just couldn't catch it.

If Huerzhahus cannot be caught, the resistance of the Krei tribe will continue. But this is not a problem. The problem is that the Krei tribe may obtain support from the Song Dynasty!

Because there were two Zubu tribes that were enemies of the Liao Kingdom on the original Liaoxia border, Basimu tribe and Dali bottom. These two tribes had responded to the Kelie tribe, but they were declining in the joint attacks between Xixia and Liao Kingdom.

Now that the Xixia has launched the northern Hetao grassland, the power of the Song Dynasty will enter at any time. In this way, the Basimu tribe and the bottom of Dali border with the Song Dynasty. Through these two tribes, the Song State may establish an alliance with the Kelie tribe.

If the Kelie tribe obtains a large amount of iron tools, then the Zhubu grassland will probably be full of war...

Yelu Yanxi leaned against her body, leaning against the tiger skin couch, frowned, as if she was in deep thought.

"Your Majesty," the horse man looked at the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty and reported, "Su Che, the envoy of the Song State, and Lin Rong, was trapped in the office of the Xijin Prefecture for many days... Treating the envoys like this is probably not in line with the style of the Great Liao Dynasty's supreme country."

Su Che and Lin Rong arrived at Xijin Prefecture in early March, but were not allowed to go to Yuanyangluo. Yuanyangluo. Now there are only a few thousand imperial tents. It doesn’t look scary, but was detained in the inn of Xijin Prefecture.

Moreover, the Liao Kingdom had a very tough attitude. He proposed to Su Che and Lin Rong to "return the land and city of Xixia that he had taken", and threatened to start a war.

But unexpectedly, the trump card in the hands of the Great Liao Kingdom started fighting and was scrambled to be played out by Gao Qiu!

In this case, it would be meaningless to circle Su Zhe and Lin Liu in the Xijin Mansion Office again, right?

"Want to let Su Che and Lin Fong come to the mandarin duck?" Yelu Yanxi asked.

"No need." Ma Renwang said with a careful consideration, "I can go to the Jinfu to negotiate with them, but... can the conditions for negotiation be more flexible?"

To be more flexible, of course, it means giving up the requirement to return all the land in Xixia.

Because the Liao Kingdom originally threatened to start a war, now... this threat is useless, and people are not afraid of starting a war!

Yelu Yan frowned when he heard this. What is this? Is the Great Liao Kingdom afraid of being beaten?

"Your Majesty," Xiao Baoxian quickly advised, "If the Great Liao Dynasty cannot destroy the three imperial edicts of Song State, Song State will not withdraw from the Western Xia territory... It is really meaningless to propose that Song State return all the land. It is better to let Song State withdraw troops from Hetao Grassland, Yanzhou, Qin Wangchuan, Zhuoluo City, Karochuan and other places."

His meaning is to admit that the State of Song possesses Yin, Xia and You. In fact, it would be good if this condition could be negotiated!

Yelu Yanxi turned his gaze to Yelu Otla again. The Khitan general with white hair and beard frowned tightly, as if he was weighing repeatedly.

Seeing Yanxi's gaze, he sighed and said, "Stop the divination is always a big problem. We must send elite troops to control the Hetao grassland as soon as possible, and at least control the Hetao Hebei grassland. Otherwise, once the rebels of the Kelie tribe colluded with the Song Dynasty, they will be out of control.

Secondly, Gao Qiu of the Song army is now arrogant. If he does not suppress him, he will probably become another huge problem for our Great Liao Dynasty after the destruction.

Furthermore, how much food is stored in Xijin Prefecture City now? Can you support the army to cross the border in Henan in winter?"

Xiao Baoxian frowned and replied: "There is not much food stored... If the water transportation of the Jiehe River is interrupted, Xijin Prefecture will have to be out of food by winter!"

In fact, Xijin Prefecture is not that short of food. Because in recent years, many people have moved from Xijin Prefecture to Jiehe Commercial City, and the pressure on grain supply has been greatly reduced.

However, Xiao Bao must first make the problem a little serious. He also invested a lot in Jiehe Commercial City!

"Your Majesty, I think the Hebei side should not make a big move for the time being." Yelu Yan, the envoy of the Southern Privy Council, also spoke at this time. "I am willing to go to Xijin Prefecture with the Ma Renwang to negotiate with the Song envoy."

Needless to say, Yelu Yan (his Privy Councilor won by rolling dice, you can imagine what kind of virtue you have), he also has a huge industry in Jiehe Shang City... and he also received a large bribe from Ma Zhi. Of course, he cannot agree to cut off his own wealth!

Yelu Yanxi still frowned. He actually wanted to attack Jiehe Commercial Market! He had no investment in Jiehe Commercial Market, and he also knew that Jiehe Commercial Market had money. If he could grab one, he would not have to worry about the rest of his life.

But the ministers in the account all opposed...

"Uncle Huang, what do you think?"

Yelu Yanxi could only ask his uncle for advice.

The Emperor Taishu, the Grand Marshal of the World, Yelu and Luwu, is 64 years old this year. He is the younger brother of Yelu Hongji, the nominal heir to the throne.

However, given the tragic fate of the last emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan, he and Luwu never dared to inherit the throne. He only wanted his wife to be a vase, so naturally he would invest in Jiehe Market. His son Yelu Chun (later Emperor of Northern Liao) seemed to have no ambitions and did nothing to do when he was left behind in Tokyo. He was just busy reselling grain to Jiehe Market, and also took stakes in Suzhou Market, and became a good friend with Ma Zhi, who was an official in Tokyo Road. He also wrote to his father two days ago, saying that he could interfere in the tax customs of Goryeo...

In addition to making money, another interest in Luwu was to burn incense and worship Buddha. Now when he heard Yelu Yanxi's question, he just put his hands together, "Amitabha, Amitabha, after all, people will die in war. If you can't fight, don't fight. Even if you want to fight, you will fight in Hetao. Don't fight in Hebei."

"Don't go to Hebei to fight?" Yelu Yanxi asked, "Why?"

Uncle Huang smiled, "Jiehe Market is a hen that can only lay golden eggs. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill it with one knife?"

"Yes, it's a pity to kill with one knife!"

"It will be good for me to keep it."

"What the Emperor Taishu said is very..."

The important officials of the Liao Kingdom in the tent rarely agreed with the Emperor's Uncle. Yelu Yanxi looked at these people and thought to himself: Is Jiehe Shangshi really a hen that only lays golden eggs? But where did the golden eggs go? Why didn't I see it?

...

"Su Xianggong, the food sent by the Khitans today has been reduced by 10%, but the military soldiers outside the door have doubled. Wansheng just saw many military soldiers passing by outside the inn... "

"Oh, it seems that the Khitans are really going to threaten Hebei!"

"It's a threat! Hebei defense is hosted by Princess Han, and Jiehe Market is even more solid. Are you still afraid of the Khitans? The officials seem to be the ones who bluff the Khitans and dare not really fight."

"It's hard to say. If the northwest fights to the critical moment, it's not ruled out that they will intervene and prevent us from destroying Xingling in one fell swoop."

"My husband, what should we do if we really fight?"

In the Xijin Mansion Inn, during dinner, there were only kimchi and yellow rice porridge in front of Su Che, Lin Rong and Wu Haowen, and there was not even a single meat!

This was the Khitans deliberately making things difficult for the delegation, and at the same time they also made a tough stance. They made a request to "return the occupied land". After being rejected, they began to reduce the food supply of the delegation. They also sent troops to surround the inn and prohibited the delegation members from going out.

There was no good food, and Su Che, Lin Rong and Wu Haowen could bear it, but the prospect of the war between the Song and Liao dynasties made them somewhat anxious.

There doesn’t seem to be much problem in Hebei, but what about Hedong? What about the northwest?

Now should be the critical moment to attack Xingling? If the Khitan army heads south from the Hetao grassland, the Song army might repeat the mistakes in the fourth year of Yuanfeng.

The mission trapped in Xijin Prefecture is probably Su Wu who is the shepherd. This may be quite a bit. Su Che's Su and Wu who are so good at literature are Su Wu? It's not auspicious!

While the three of them were worried about the yellow rice porridge, a delegation member came in to report that it was Zhang Jue, deputy envoy of the Nanjing Dao Police of Liao Kingdom, who was asking for a visit.

"Oh, Zhang Jue is here again, let him in."

When Su Che heard that Zhang Jue had come, he was immediately excited. Zhang Jue took good care of the Song Dynasty delegation, came to visit him from time to time, and gave him some food.
