Fan Yu said this, that is, the virtual is the real, and the real is the virtual. In fact, the Great Song Dynasty did not have much defense against Western Xia at all.

Regarding Li Yuanhao's claim to be the emperor, the Song Dynasty did not predict it.

This was just Fan Yu's bluff against Yeli Renrong, which made Western Xia dare not easily send troops to the Great Song Dynasty.

Fan Yu's historical knowledge is not so rich, but he still knows that the Western Xia attacked the Song Dynasty, and several major battles defeated the Great Song Dynasty and suffered heavy casualties. Now I say these words to Yeri Renrong in order to avoid the recurrence of the historical situation.

Moreover, because of the Western Xia's attack on the Song Dynasty, the Liao State took the opportunity to ask the Great Song Dynasty for part of the territory of Guannan, and the Liao State's annual coin increased to 200,000 taels of silver and 300,000 horses of silk.

If Yeli Renrong really believed Fan Yu's words and thought that the Great Song Dynasty had already prepared, then the direction of Western Xia's use of troops would probably turn to Liao.

At that time, the room for the Great Song Dynasty to turn around will be much greater.

Yeli Renrong was silent for a moment before arching his hand to Fan Yu and said, "Why did An Lehou harm me Xixia so much, and said to Xiao Xianggong that my Xia lord Yuanhao wants to be the emperor?" Doesn't this also make the Liao State lose trust in my Western Xia, if they raise troops against our Western Xia, it will be the sin of An Lehou. ”

The style of the Liao State has always been different from the passivity of the Great Song Dynasty, and most of them will take the initiative to raise troops to attack the Western Xia. Therefore, Yeli Renrong will have this judgment.

"Xia envoy, as long as you Western Xia do not resist the Liao State, will the Liao State really destroy your Western Xia?" Fan Yu said with a smile: "Avoid the edge of the Liao army, and humble and generous coins to please the Liao Emperor." If the Liao army did not retreat, and the lone army of the Liao State penetrated deep into the Xia realm at that time, could it be that the Western Xia could not destroy this Liao army. ”

The second laughed twice, Yeli Renrong nodded and said: "An Lehou don't want to laugh, the Liao State is the upper country, how dare I attack the Liao army in Western Xia, this matter should not be mentioned again." ”

And beside Yelu Zongzhen, Xiao Hui had just reported to him that Li Yuanhao of Western Xia might be the emperor.

Yelu Zongzhen glanced at Yeli Renrong in the distance, and said to Xiao Hui: "According to Xiao Qing's opinion, how should our Liao Kingdom deal with it. ”

"Your Majesty must have also gained insight, so the minister will have the courage to talk about his shallow views first." Xiao Hui bowed and said: "Li Yuanhao of Western Xia is called the emperor, but it is just a casual remark by the Song Guoan Lehou, but Yeli Renrong refuses to swear to prove the innocence of Western Xia. Although there is no empirical evidence, it may not be groundless, and Western Xia must not be guarded against. But sitting back and watching Xixia sit big is not what my compound wants. The Heqing army and the Tiande army, in addition to guarding against the Western Xia, also had to guard against the Song State, and it was not appropriate to move lightly. Order the two armies to strictly guard the border and not let the Xia people cross the border. In addition, he can order someone to send an edict to the two departments of Basimu and Darid, so that they can exterminate the party departments in our Daliao, so as to prevent these party tribes from defecting to Western Xia. If the two major tribes of Basimu and Daride had a conflict with Western Xia, my Daliao would be able to reap the benefits. ”

Hearing Xiao Hui's suggestion, Yelu Zongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao Qingzhen is my bone, femur and humerus, Ba Simu and Daride are obedient and impermanent, driving tigers such as Er to devour the wolves of the party and cut off the arms of Xixia, which is really a clever plan." When the banquet was over, I personally issued an edict to make the two departments of Basimu and Daride crusade against the party departments, and the proceeds were all their own, and these two departments would surely go happily. ”

"Actually, the two departments of Basimu and Darid have long wanted to rob the party departments, but they didn't dare to move lightly because they were afraid of the Western Xia army. Now that I have Da Liao to support them, I will definitely not let go of the opportunity. Xiao Hui smiled.

Fan Yu didn't know that he just pushed Xixia into the pit, which caused a bloody storm on the grassland.

Xiao Hui returned to her seat, as if nothing had happened, still talking and laughing with others. Even with Yeli Renrong, he frequently invited to drink, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Only Fan Yu ignored Xiao Hui, this old guy offended himself, but he hasn't apologized yet.

Duan Shaolian and Li Zaishi are talking about speculation. That Li Zaishi intended to marry the Great Song Dynasty so that he could be the Austrian aid of Goryeo, so he deliberately stammered, which made Duan Shaolian have a long-lost sense of respect.

Fan Yu was bored, he didn't have much to say to these envoys, and when he was thinking about retreating earlier, he saw Yelu Chongyuan running in front of him.

"An Lehou, I'm here to toast you with a glass of wine, why didn't you bring Uncle Cao Xiaoguo here today? When he's not there, it's a lot less lively. Yelu Chongyuan said with some regret.

You have become friends directly, Fan Yu muttered in his heart, these two are the same secondary two, maybe they are true friends.

"He is not an envoy, but he just came to Liao to increase his knowledge." Fan Yu said with a smile: "How can you bring him here for such a Zhengdan ceremony." If it's a joke, wouldn't it be very respectful to Da Liao. ”

Yelu Chongyuan laughed, "Exactly, I think he can't sit still." If you come, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand through a large set of red tape in front of you. ”

Fan Yu saw that Yelu Chongyuan Yuan took the initiative to come, and it was definitely not just for small talk, so he tentatively said: "Your Highness, have you already made up your mind?" Be joined forces with me. ”

After looking left and right, and seeing that no one noticed his side, Yelu Chongyuan nodded and said, "An Lehou's suggestion last time was good, and it is not harmful to you and me, why don't I agree?" I also told Your Majesty about this matter, and Your Majesty did not object. Just let me not sell the horses to you, and let me decide the rest. ”

It turns out that even Emperor Liao knows about it, and you still look at the fart, Fan Yu can't help but sneer at this imperial brother.

"In this case, the emperor's brother can order a shopkeeper to take someone to Bianliang with me. Monopoly items such as desalted iron tea alum can be purchased. Fan Yu nodded and said, "If you don't have much cash, you can also sell me a large number of cattle and sheep, and you will not let the imperial brother trouble." ”

Yelu Chongyuan shook his head and said: "It's a lot of trouble to bring so many cattle and sheep, furs and furs, mountain ginseng, and eastern jewelry, but these things are good and more valuable." ”

Fan Yu was stunned when he said this, but he didn't expect that Yelu Chongyuan would take the high-end route. But they are the royal family of Liao, and they are definitely not willing to be cattle and sheep dealers.

"In this way, Your Highness can send the goods to my Song Embassy first. After I have made an estimate, I will agree on a reasonable price with His Highness, and then we can go to the Great Song Dynasty with our envoy team. Fan Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "In addition, His Highness can order people to bring more copper coins." My Great Song Dynasty is now not enough copper money, if you use copper money to buy, the goods can often be cheaper. ”

The copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty were the international currency in East Asia at this time, and the newly minted copper coins were enough every year. Not only is it used in Liao, but also in Annam, Dali, Western Xia, Goryeo, and Dongying. In addition to this, every year some Scrooge buries copper coins in the ground. Therefore, the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are not only insufficient, but also decreasing year after year. Therefore, Fan Yu also said this.

It would be best if a considerable amount of copper coins could be recovered through these cross-border trades.

"That's a deal." Yelu Chongyuan smiled.
