Except for Liao and Goryeo, all other subordinates have signed.

The reason why the Liao State did not sign it was because the Great Song Dynasty did not send it to the Liao State at all.

The reason why Goryeo didn't sign it was because Liaoguo, who was the master, didn't sign it, and he, a faithful servant, naturally wouldn't sign it.

Xixia signed, which was really surprising.

After all, the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty blocked the entire street where the Xixia Post House was located.

The hostility of the Great Song court to the Western Xia is self-evident.

Under such circumstances, it is really surprising that Western Xia can still sign an alliance.

In the Xixia Post House.

Bald, with a few pigtails, Ye Li Yu begged for a gloomy face and sat in the middle of the hall.

A Confucian scholar with fluttering sleeves sat casually at his head, holding a wine jug, tasting carefully, and from time to time he still showed a look of aftertaste.

"I haven't tasted the frozen wine on Zhouqiao Street for seven or eight years, and I really miss ......"

Ye Li Yuqi stared at the Confucian scholar with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xia, don't you plan to explain to me, why do you have to sign the covenant sent by the Song Kingdom?" ”

The Confucian scholar, known as Mr. Xia, tasted the wine, clicked his mouth, and said lightly: "There is nothing to explain, since I can't refuse, I can only sign it." ”

Ye Li Yu snorted coldly: "Mr. Xia, I need an explanation. ”

Mr. Xia glanced at Ye Li Yuqi, and said nonchalantly: "I respect Xia Gong, so I promised Xia Gong to help you contribute to Western Xia." But that doesn't mean that I have to answer your question.

I am not your vassal, and there is no need to answer your questions.

This time to envoy the Great Song Dynasty, Li Guozhu granted, in case of undecided, I will be the master......"

Mr. Xia was only halfway through his words, and Yeli gritted his teeth when he met the beggar and said, "I am the right envoy!" Although the lord of the kingdom allowed you the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, he did not let you do things without me. ”

When Mr. Xia heard this, he pursed his lips and said a little boringly: "It's just that, if you want to know something, you can ask." ”

Ye Li Yu begged to stare at Mr. Xia and said, "Why did you sign the covenant sent by the Song Kingdom?" ”

Mr. Xia said indifferently: "Why don't you sign it?" ”

Ye Li Yu begged his eyes.

Mr. Xia yawned and said, "Don't stare, I'll tell you frankly." The purpose of our trip is to seek benefits from the Great Song Dynasty, not to make enemies with the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, this covenant must be signed. ”

Ye Liyu snorted coldly: "But as soon as you entered Bianjing City, you have already offended the Great Song Dynasty." You sent someone to contact the merchant named Mu Chong, and then sheltered him in private, and took a share of Jiaozipu, and made the Great Song Dynasty up and down, full of hostility towards us.

Now, the Song people have blocked the street where our post house is located.

How do you explain this? ”

Mr. Xia smiled indifferently: "I did it, but it wasn't our ...... who got into trouble in the end."

Ye Liyu was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said: "You spent so much money to send people to the Liaoguo Post Station, just to bring disaster to the east?" ”

Mr. Xia shook his head seriously and said, "You can't say that, I don't have any trouble." It was the Liao envoy who was greedy for money, and Mu Chong happened to be rich and needed shelter, so I was just threading the needle through it.

I'm just a middle-aged person, and I just want to get some money from it to spend in Bianjing City, and I never think about harming anyone. ”

Ye Liyu snorted coldly, and scolded in his heart, Song people's hearts are really dirty.

It is so justifiable to harm people.

Ye Li Yu begged and stared at Mr. Xia and said, "Then how are you going to deal with those Song people who are besieging us outside?" ”

Mr. Xia smiled indifferently: "Why do you want to solve it?" When they can't find anyone here with us, and they happen to find someone in the Liao Country Post House, they will naturally go to the Liao Country Post House.

The problem that besieges us will be solved.

We don't have to do anything. ”

Ye Li Yu begged and said in a deep voice: "If the Great Song Dynasty goes to the Liao State Post House and makes trouble with the Liao people, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom will start a war because of this?" ”

Mr. Xia shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Who knows......"

Ye Li Yuqi's face turned dark, and he wanted to strangle this thing on the spot.

Xia Zhu took refuge in Western Xia, changed his name to Xia Yuan, and with his wisdom and strategy, he became Li Deming's guest and Li Yuanhao's mentor.

In the Western Xia, there is no other in the limelight.

This person took the initiative to find Xia Zhu and took refuge in Xia Zhu.

Take Xia Zhu as the head of the horse.

For the rest of the Western Xia, there is basically no good attitude.

Xia Zhu was very respectful in Western Xia, but this person was very arrogant in Western Xia.

The reason why this person has not been killed until now is because this person is indeed talented.

Li Yuanhao was defeated in Hexi, buried tens of thousands of elite soldiers of Western Xia, and after returning to the capital of Western Xia, it almost reached the point of being pointed out by Qianfu.

This person came forward and lobbied, and easily resolved Li Yuanhao's crisis.

Not only that.

This person also went to the Liao State and helped the Western Xia to win over nearly a thousand small tribesmen who were bullied in the Liao State from the Liao State.

Added to the losses of Western Xia in Hexi.

Li Yuanhao relied on this person very much.

I also like this person's arrogance.

Not only did it not stop this person's arrogant behavior in Western Xia, but there was even a meaning to help him.

If it weren't for the fact that this person only recognized Xia Zhu, Li Yuanhao would have the intention of leading him to his right-hand man.

Ye Li Yu beggar had countless ways to kill him, but he couldn't kill Li Yuanhao, so he could only let this person be arrogant in front of him.

Ye Li Yu begged to stare at Mr. Xia and said in a deep voice: "You are leading the water to the east and provoking a great war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, which is indeed beneficial to my Western Xia. If you do the right thing, I will show you the credit for your merits.

But you know that there are traps in the covenant sent by the Song State, why do you still sign it? ”

Mr. Xia stared at Yeli Yuqi and asked lightly, "Do you want to become a single husband?" Or, do you want the Western Xia to be imprisoned by the Song and Liao and not allowed to develop? ”

Ye Li Yu frowned and did not speak.

Mr. Xia pouted and said: "Although the Liao Kingdom is large, the goods produced can only be used for oneself, and there is nothing to give to Western Xia at all." Western Xia did business with Liao, and they didn't get much benefit.

But the Great Song Dynasty is different, the Great Song Dynasty has a lot of resources, and the goods produced are innumerable.

As long as we can afford it, we can get what we want.

Some cheap things in our hands can also be sold to Da Song at a high price.

If we use some more means in the middle, we can get more benefits.

As long as there were enough goods and money, Western Xia could grow rapidly.

Therefore, the covenant sent by the Great Song Dynasty, even if there is a trap, we must sign it.

Because we need to make a deal with Da Song. ”

After a pause, Mr. Xia added: "If what I expected, among the countries that the Great Song Dynasty had good friends with, except for Liao and Goryeo, all other countries would sign the covenant proposed by the Great Song Dynasty.

Liao State did not sign, it was because Liao State had the confidence to get what he wanted from the Great Song Dynasty by himself.

Did Western Xia have it?

Western Xia didn't have that confidence.

In the first battle of Hexi, you lost two elite soldiers and horses of Western Xia, and now there are only two elite soldiers and horses of less than 100,000 people left in Western Xia.

It's not as good as Qingtang.

How to argue with Da Song?

is not qualified to argue with Da Song, so he can only be bullied by Da Song temporarily.

The other countries all signed the covenant proposed by the Great Song Dynasty, but did not sign it in Western Xia.

Isn't Western Xia very dazzling?

Since the Western Xia did not sign the covenant and became dazzling again, why did the Great Song still do business with the Western Xia?

They just have to do it with other countries.

The benefits provided by other countries to the Great Song Dynasty were enough for the Great Song to eat a full stomach.

The Great Song Dynasty canceled doing business with Western Xia, and there was not much to lose.

Therefore, whether the Western Xia signed the covenant or not did not have much loss for the Great Song Dynasty.

But the Western Xia lost the right to do business with the Great Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to losing the opportunity to develop and grow.

Without the support of the goods of the Great Song Dynasty and the many technological support of the Great Song Dynasty, how could the Western Xia develop and grow?

You don't simply think that today's wars between countries can still be solved with individual bravery, horses and swords, right? ”

Ye Liyu begged for a gloomy face and did not speak.

The scene of artillery salvo fire involuntarily came to his mind.

Mr. Xia continued: "Where did you lose the battle of Hexi? Lost on firearms. Kou Ji defeated the army of tens of thousands of Huangtou Hui in the territory of Huangtou Hui with thousands of people, with what did he rely on?

The benefits of firearms.

In the Battle of Hexi, Kou Ji used firearms to severely damage the Iron Harrier twice, and all your plans in Hexi were foiled.

If the Great Song Dynasty did not have firearms, how could they defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Huangtou Hui.

If the Great Song Dynasty didn't have firearms, how could he hit the Iron Harrier hard.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yellow Head Hui have not been hit hard, and the Iron Harrier has not been hit hard, so will the results of Hexi be rewritten?

Those forbidden troops who have been rotten for a long time, are really your opponents?

The firearms in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty have changed some of the ways of fighting.

What you relied on before was not worth mentioning at all in the face of the powerful firearms of the Great Song Dynasty.

Fortunately, the number of firearms in Da Song's hands was limited.

Production shouldn't be easy.

So we still have a chance.

If the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty were equipped with the whole army, then I would not appear in the Western Xia, and even appear in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, leading the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty to destroy the Western Xia.

Today's Great Song Dynasty Hall is different from before.

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty was full of rats who could only fight.

In the current Great Song Dynasty, there is a group of fierce beasts with sharp fangs.

Their strength is not enough now, so they just bared their teeth and did not open their mouths to eat people.

But when they have enough strength, they will not hesitate to open their mouths and swallow Xixia in one gulp. ”

Ye Liyu gritted his teeth a little unwillingly and said: "The battle, after all, is still fought by people." ”

Mr. Xia nodded and said, "I don't deny this, but you also have to see who the other party is." If the other party is a mouse, then even if they hold a fierce weapon in their hands, they will not pose any threat to Western Xia.

But if the other party is a fierce beast and holds a sharp weapon in his hand, what will Xixia do to fight with others?

If you have read the history books of the Central Plains, you should understand how fierce the Central Plains people were when they were all turned into fierce beasts.

During the heyday of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, the four Yi who were not beaten surrendered, making the surrounding neighbors tremble under their ferocity?

Today's Great Song Dynasty is different, you can no longer look at Great Song with the same eyes as before, otherwise you will suffer a loss, a big loss.

Compared to Western Xia, I actually appreciate Qingtang more.

Qingtang Zanpu Jiaoluo can gain a foothold in the Western Regions and become a hegemon, which is indeed a masterpiece.

His sense of smell is far sharper than yours.

After he smelled the power of the Great Song firearms, he immediately chose to befriend the Great Song Dynasty and tried his best to get firearms from the Great Song Dynasty.

Wait until the moment when the Great Song Dynasty equips the whole army with firearms and looks at the world.

He will definitely have enough firearms to protect himself.

If the Great Song Dynasty wanted to dominate the world and include the whole world in the Song Dynasty, Qingtang would definitely live longer than the Western Xia. ”

Ye Li Yu begged his teeth and glared at Mr. Xia.

He was dissatisfied with Mr. Xia's praise of Qingtang and belittlement of Qingtang.

But I have to admit that Mr. Xia's words are right.

Mr. Xia said faintly: "Western Xia wants to be strong, wants to be strong, and now is the only chance. Before the Great Song Dynasty equipped the whole army with firearms, he got firearms, learned to make firearms, and controlled firearms.

Therefore, the Western Xia could not lose the right to do business with the Great Song Dynasty.

Once lost, it is doomed to lose control of firearms.

Without firearms, after the Western Xia, they could only tremble under the iron hooves of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, we must be willing to drill into the trap set by the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if we lose, we have to get in. ”

"According to what you mean, if the Liao State did not sign an alliance, it lost its control over firearms, and the Liao State would also tremble under the iron hooves of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Ye Li Yu begged with disdain.

Liao, recognized as the most powerful and hegemonic country in this land.

No one in the world would think that the Liao Kingdom would tremble under the iron hooves of others.

They will only make others tremble under their own iron hooves.

Mr. Xia sneered: "Can Western Xia compare with Liao? What the Liao State wants, why do you need to do business by means of doing business? They want firearms, and they can send a million soldiers and horses to grab them without remembering the damage.

Can Western Xia? ”

Ye Li Yuqi's cheeks flushed.

Shameful.

There are not many soldiers and horses that can fight in Western Xia now, only 100,000 elites.

It's not as good as Qingtang, let alone Liao.

Mr. Xia stared at Ye Liyu and said, "You are a person who has seen those firearms, you should know better than me that firearms are powerful." Western Xia was not as rich as the Great Song Dynasty, nor was it as vast as the Liao Kingdom, and the population was pitifully small, so there were not many people to rely on.

If you want to rise suddenly, if you want to be small and big, if you want to develop and grow rapidly, you must use firearms.

We are more in dire need of firearms than any other force in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Xia no longer concealed it, and said frankly: "Through Mu Chong, the war between the Song and Liao countries was provoked in order to slow down the process of equipping the Great Song Dynasty with firearms to the whole army.

If we can keep firearms in our hands during this period, and be one step ahead of the Great Song Dynasty, we will equip the whole army with firearms.

Then the latecomers will prevail.

From passive, occupying to active.

When the time comes, whether it is attacking the Great Song Dynasty or attacking the Liao State, it will be able to take it by surprise. ”

Ye Liyu begged with a gloomy face, did not speak, and his mind was a mess.
