Chapter 244: It's Too Late

Fan Yu's words didn't care at all, it seemed that every sentence was comforting Yeli Renrong, but it was more like comforting a dying person.

It's like saying to Yeli Renrong, your days are numbered, you can eat whatever you want.

Although there was no threat, and there was no harsh tone, the mockery in it made Noli Renei speechless.

If Li Yuanhao, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, is called the emperor, it will not be a matter of the Western Xia country. Western Xia was the state of Fan of the Great Song Dynasty, and it also called itself a vassal to the Liao State, and once it established itself as the emperor, it was equivalent to offending the two great powers of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao at the same time.

If it was because of the anger of the moment, Yeli Renrong instigated Li Yuanhao to attack the Song Dynasty, then the Liao State would not necessarily let go of the opportunity to destroy the Western Xia.

As for what united with the Liao State to attack the Song Dynasty, it was simply a joke. As the emperor of the Tibetan country, you have established yourself as the emperor, and you have to join forces with the original suzerain, how is this possible. Moreover, even if the Liao State joined forces with the Western Xia, it would not necessarily be able to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, but instead tore up the Lanyuan Alliance, which was equivalent to erecting a powerful enemy for itself.

Yeli Renrong had to laugh dryly twice and said: "An Lehou is serious, I'm just joking." Western Xia has always been a subject state of the Great Song Dynasty, and no matter what, it did not dare to attack the Song Dynasty. Just now, it was just because An Lehou put the responsibility on my Xixia, and he was a little speechless. ”

"So, you'd better be honest in Western Xia." Fan Yu smiled and said: "How can Li Yuanhao also be the lord of Western Xia, what does it matter if he is called emperor or not." Calling the emperor is just a false name, there is no benefit, but it is a lot of disadvantages. No matter how my Great Song and Liao State arrange their men, as long as the Western Xia is honest, the Song and Liao countries will not take the initiative to attack the Western Xia. Isn't it good for everyone to live in peace? ”

Yeli Renrong's brows furrowed, but he looked very entangled.

After a while, he nodded and said, "What An Lehou said is extremely true, but it makes me feel like I'm sudden." The lord of my family did not intend to be emperor before, and he will not have such thoughts in the future. Befriending Song Liao is the basic national policy of my Western Xia, and it will not change. An Lehou's golden and jade good words, after I return to Xingqing Mansion, I will definitely tell the lord of my family. I believe that the lord of my family will definitely praise An Lehou when he listens to it. ”

Fan Yu laughed, "That's right." My Great Song Dynasty never attacked Western Xia, and neither did the Liao Kingdom. As it is now, everyone is doing better. If anyone breaks this balance, it will be a time of turmoil. ”

"Today, I have the guidance of An Lehou, and I have benefited a lot from it." Yeli Renrong got up and arched his hand at Fan Yu and said, "I hope that one day, the Marquis of Anle will come to my Xingqing Mansion as a guest." I've been talking about it for a long time, so I'm leaving. ”

Fan Yu also got up and sent Yeli Renrong out of the Great Song Embassy with a smile before turning inside.

Yeli Renrong's intention this time was nothing more than to threaten Fan Yu, and he had already breathed a sigh of relief on the day of the Zhengdan ceremony. But Yeli Renrong didn't expect that Fan Yu was different from the previous Song Guowenchen, and he didn't eat this set at all. What is more important than peace, and what should not be used in vain, people don't mention it. Opening and closing his mouth is for the good of Western Xia, hoping that Western Xia will not be destroyed.

It's just that Fan Yu's reason is still so sufficient, making Yeli Renrong irrefutable. If there is no accident, the development of things will definitely be as Fan Yu said, Western Xia will fight on both sides and be besieged by the Song and Liao countries.

What Yeli Renrong didn't know was that Fan Yu was also very worried.

Fan Yu knew that in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, as soon as Li Yuanhao became emperor, the government and the opposition were furious, and he took the initiative to send troops to attack the Western Xia. It's just that several battles have been lost, and the losses are huge. In the end, the conquest of Western Xia failed, but he had to pay the Western Xia New Year's coin, which is simply a big joke in the world. Fan Yu didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

Therefore, he took the initiative to provoke Yeli Renrong at the Zhengdan ceremony, and tried his best to provoke the contradictions between the Liao State and the Western Xia. If the Liao State was dissatisfied with the Western Xia, it would definitely take action against the Western Xia before the Great Song Dynasty. In this case, in the end, Da Song may be able to pick up a bargain.

Now, Xiao Hui, the prime minister of Liao, is on guard against Western Xia, and there will definitely be some moves. And Yeli Renrong was stimulated by Fan Yu, and after returning to Western Xia, he would definitely report to Li Yuanhao. Maybe seeing the layout of the Liao Kingdom, Western Xia will have some ideas. If Western Xia fought with the Liao State first, that would be Fan Yu's purpose.

When Yelu Chongyuan came to the Song embassy again, Guo Xi also came with him.

This time, Guo Xi also brought a list of more than ten kinds of goods.

Fan Yu invited the two of them to sit down, then opened the list of goods brought by Guo Xi, scanned it, and nodded again and again.

In the list, there are 100 horses, 1,000 cattle, 10,000 sheep, 2 buckets of Dongzhu, 10 carts of ginseng, 50 carts of deer antlers, a total of 100 carts of various kinds of furs, 100,000 catties of iron ingots, 200 boats of earth and nitrate, and other bits and pieces of gold.

"Your Highness, how is there still hundreds of horses in this cargo? Didn't the Liao Kingdom prohibit horses from flowing into our Great Song Dynasty? If Your Majesty knows, I am afraid that Your Highness's business will be this time. Fan Yu couldn't help but wonder.

Yelu Chongyuan laughed, "It's just a hundred horses, and it's because of the first time that there are these horses." As long as thousands of horses are not sold to your Song Kingdom, are you afraid that your Song Kingdom will be able to build a cavalry? Then again, there are hundreds of horses pulling carts. There are hundreds of horses to buy, so that you Song people don't have to worry about the horses I pull the cart. ”

Fan Yu couldn't help laughing, the reason was actually this, but he never expected it.

"With such a large team, I don't know how many people His Highness will send to escort it." Fan Yu flipped through the list and asked casually.

"I was only responsible for sending hundreds of herdsmen to accompany them and let them take care of the livestock. plus a hundred and ten men, no more than three hundred. lest there be too many people sent, so that you Song Guo will be afraid. If you get into any trouble because of this, you will be embarrassed. Yelu Chongyuan said: "We are all friends, I have to say these words first." The herdsmen are all in charge of Guo Xi and his men, and you have something to tell Guo Xi. As long as they don't do anything bad in the Song Kingdom, you can take care of some. ”

"It's nature." Fan Yu nodded and said, "The value of this batch of goods, I don't know how His Highness calculates it, and how much he wants to sell it." ”

When Yelu Chongyuan heard this, he smiled and said: "I want 120,000 yuan for these many goods, and the price is not high." ”

Fan Yu smiled, shook his head slightly, and said: "Although there are many iron ingots and earth nitrate, but these goods are not valuable, if they are expensive, it is better to go to Dali to buy them." ”

"Then how much money do you say is reasonable." Yelu Chongyuan seemed to ask confidently.

glanced at Guo Xi, and Fan Yu saw that Guo Xi didn't seem to raise his eyelids. Obviously, before coming to the Song Embassy, the imperial brother discussed it with Guo Xi and the two.

Fan Yu pretended to ponder for a moment before he said: "If the iron ingot is sent to Bianliang, you can count it as fifteen wen and one catty, and one hundred thousand jin is only one thousand and five hundred." Soil nitrate is not worth anything, count you two thousand. The largest of these is only 3,500 yuan. The rest of the goods, although valuable, are not in large quantities. All the things add up, I'll give you a total of 70,000 yuan discount, how about it? ”

Yelu Chongyuan was in a hurry at that time, and stood up suddenly, "No, this is at least 80,000 yuan!" ”

"Okay, then 80,000." Fan Yu smiled and looked at Guo Xi on the side.

When the emperor's younger brother Yelu Chongyuan opened his mouth to say 80,000 guan, Guo Xi wanted to say something. It's a pity that Yelu Chongyuan couldn't calm down, so he paid the bottom. If you want to save anything, it's too late.
