Looking at Ye Qing, who was understated, Han Dao stood up again, looked at Ye Qing in disbelief, and asked urgently, "You came from the grassland?" Through the Kree? ”

"Yes, although the Kereb tribe is not a neighbor of your country, but the small tribes that are separated from you have not stopped you from eye-to-eye?" Ye Qing said with a smile.

Ye Qing still knows a little about the demise of the Kerebu, especially the fate of Sangkun's father and son, one was killed when he fled to Naiman, the other fled to Western Xia, and then was killed after fleeing to Liao.

The reason why Sangkun fled to Western Xia first was precisely because after the struggle between Kerebu and Temujin became clear, he hoped to get the support of Western Xia, and then after the relationship between Western Xia became good, but his defeat on the grassland, his first choice was to flee to Western Xia to avoid pursuit.

Of course, there are still several large and small tribes between the two, and the Kereh Department is still at its peak, but this does not mean that Western Xia does not have a long-term vision and does not want to befriend the Kereh Ministry.

However, these can be regarded as the little secrets of the Western Xia carrying the Jin State, after all, the Jin State naturally would not want to see the Western Xia befriend the Keree Department, or the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against them.

Now that Ye Qing said a word, Han Daochong's face changed again, and after watching Ye Qing sit down, he said weakly: "What else do you know?" ”

"My request is very simple, even if your country can't exempt all the merchants of my Great Song Dynasty from paying taxes, but exempting the Imperial City Division from paying taxes, I guess Lord Han won't mind, right?" Ye Qing looked at Han Daochong, who was a little dazed, and then said slowly: "That is the case, I might as well tell Lord Han that I, Song Ting, are not insincere." At that time, the gold lord Wanyan Liang attacked my Great Song Dynasty and finally defeated Yangzhou, and then was killed by his subordinates in a mutiny. Han Yanxuan, one of the heroes who participated in the resistance to Wan Yan Liang back then, has now been appointed by the imperial court to pacify Lizhou Road. ”

Hearing Ye Qing say this, Han Daochong, who had a somewhat decadent and dazed expression just now, immediately perked up, looked at Ye Qing and asked anxiously, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true!" Ye Qing continued in a deep voice: "And if what I expected is right, when you and I are talking now, presumably Han Shilang has already arrived at Lizhou Mansion. ”

Han Daochong looked at Ye Qing quietly, if what Ye Qing said was true, then it was really enough to show that the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Court, this time to cooperate with Western Xia, it was indeed showing great sincerity.

Han Yanxuan, now the son of Han Cheng, the servant of the Southern Song Dynasty, and his wife is the sister of the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty, and what makes Han Daochong even more pleased is not just the background of this Han Yanxuan's life experience, but Han Yanxuan Among the generals of the Song people, Han Yanxuan is a Song military general who hates Jin very much and has always advocated against Jin with his father.

And just when Ye Qing and Han Daochong began to discuss the next details, the Xingyuan Mansion on Lizhou Road on the border of Song and Xia ushered in Han Yanxuan, who was in the dust and in armor.

Han Yanxuan, who has never dragged mud and water, after entering the Xingyuan Mansion Administration, did not pay attention to the officials at all levels of Lizhou Road who were waiting for him, hurriedly said hello, and led several generals into the main hall, and even the prefect of Xingyuan Mansion was left aside by him and ignored it.

The Lizhou officials with flattering smiles at the gate watched Han Yanxuan enter the main hall to discuss the matter, but no one dared to say anything about their arrogant and rude attitude.

After all, with Han Yanxuan's current identity, although he is just a soldier of the Ministry of War, he can't stand his family background there, Han Cheng is the head of the six ministries of the Ministry of Servants, and his mother is the sister of the Queen Mother, such an identity and status of the emperor's relatives and relatives, for officials at all levels of Lizhou Road, even if they just nod to them in a hurry, they will feel that it is worth it.

Coming with Han Yanxuan, in addition to some of the old departments of the Five Rivers Army, it was the Pu'an Army that greeted him today, belonging to the command of the Lizhou Road Pacification Envoy, and now the generals at all levels, including the commanders, have been summoned to the conference hall by Han Yanxuan.

"Ye Qing has a letter?" The tall Han Yan's eyes swept over everyone, and he asked in a low voice.

"Returning to South Korea to appease the envoy, there is no letter for the time being." Guo Gao, the commander of the Pu'an Army, hurriedly came out and said.

"Can you send a letter to Ye Shaoqing and tell him that I have arrived at Xingyuan Mansion and will be at his disposal at any time." Han Yanxuan was like clockwork, there were no polite words at all, and he looked at Guo Gao and asked.

"Naturally." Guo Gao replied respectfully.

The other generals who were present and obeyed Guo Gao's orders were secretly surprised in their hearts, they didn't expect that after arriving at Xingyuan Mansion, Han Yanxuan didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to compete with Ye Qing, who was far away in Xingqing Mansion in Xia State, for the right to be the commander and deputy commander, and as soon as he arrived at Xingyuan Mansion, he made it clear that he obeyed Ye Qing's dispatch and took Ye Qing as the superior.

The generals present thought that one was the military squire of the imperial court, and the other was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, although the two were not together, but they must have to earn a high level for the main and deputy affairs.

So before that, they were still a little hesitant and entangled in their hearts, if they were asked to stand in line at that time, which side should they choose? Now it seems that this problem that they have been struggling with for several days has made them immediately relaxed because of Han Yanxuan's words.

"Shaoqing thinks Han Yanxuan will obey us?" Wu Juan followed behind Ye Qing, and after walking out of Chengtian Temple, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Then who knows." Ye Qing responded lightly, standing in an inconspicuous corner, watching Han Dao rush into an extremely ordinary carriage and leave, before he said: "I think that as a military general, Han Yanxuan should know which one is heavier and which is lighter, and he should not be entangled in this kind of matter of who is the main and who is the secondary." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Wu Juan asked with little confidence.

Whether it is above the court or among the various garrison armies, this kind of general competition for the main and deputy is not uncommon, even if he and Ye Qing have stayed in the Shenjin army back then, isn't it because of such a thing as discord between the generals, so that Jiankang lost the battle to the Jin people.

"Guess." Ye Qing said with a relaxed smile, and then continued: "When Li Xianzhong did not arrive, Yu Yunwen was forced to lead the army to resist the Jin people as a civil servant, and finally defeated the Jin army. But it is precisely because of this battle that the imperial court was relieved to hand over the army to him to command, and later, whether it was in Yangzhou or Zhenjiang, to put it mildly, this is the territory of Han Cheng and his son, and the Five Rivers Army and other armies have always been under the orders of Han Cheng and his son, but what happened later, you must also know? ”

Wu Juan showed a thoughtful expression, thought for a while and said: "In the first war of the year, Lord Yu became famous in the first battle, and although he failed to stay in the army in the end, he also became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. In this battle, Han Cheng's father and son did not fight for the right to command the army, and even accepted the command of Lord Yu, a civil minister, without objection. But Shaoqing, don't forget, in the end, the reason why Lord Yu was transferred back to Lin'an to serve as Shaoqing of Dali Temple was not because there was no position in the army that could accommodate Lord Yu, but because Lord Yu's military exploits were too great, if he wanted to be rewarded as a military general, I am afraid that Han Cheng and his son would not have the prestige in the army today. ”

"Yes, Yu Yunwen's credit was finally taken by Han Cheng and his son, and in order to appease Yu Yunwen, the imperial court could only be transferred back to Lin'an to serve in Dali Temple." Walking on the lively street, Ye Qing picked up the goods of the vendors next to him from time to time to take a look, and then said: "Actually, that time in Yangzhou, when I was drinking with Yu Yunwen, Yu Yunwen said that he thought that the imperial court would transfer him back to Lin'an, presumably he was either transferred to the military department, or the Privy Council, and even on the way, he once felt that he had a great possibility to go to the Privy Council, but he never thought that in the end, it would be the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ”

In the end, Ye Qing's mind once again resurfaced the depressed face of Yu Yunwen when he was drinking in Yangzhou, so he couldn't help but laugh gloating again.

"So Shaoqing, aren't you worried about anything?" The military judge ignored Ye Qing's gloating laughter, he knew very well that Ye Qing dared to laugh at Yu Yunwen in front of Yu Yunwen, and now he was far away in Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia and laughed at Yu Yunwen who couldn't be heard, which was already very face-saving to Yu Yunwen.

"Worried about what?" Ye Qing asked with the silver hairpin on the vendor.

"If this matter is done, the credit will naturally not be given to you Shaoqing, it is likely to be the credit of the newly promoted Lizhou Road pacification envoy Han Yanxuan. After all, it is enough to make other people jealous of the credit of exempting the Jin people from the New Year's coin, so this part of Xixia must not only be shared with the imperial court, but also Han Yanxuan will not be able to share it with you, but will enjoy it exclusively. But if we fail this time, the first to bear the brunt, you are a sinner, don't talk about the credit at that time, I'm afraid that after returning to Lin'an, the saliva of the counselor and the imperial history will drown you. And more importantly, this responsibility will not be shared by the Lizhou Road Pacification Envoy at all. Midday analyzed and said.

"That is, the credit will be Han Yanxuan's at that time, if it is replaced by guilt, it will be my Ye Qing's, and it has nothing to do with him Han Yanxuan, right?" Ye Qing turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Yes, thankless, our trip is." Wu Juan nodded and said.

The earthen houses built of loess make the streets where merchants and camel caravans come and go, although there is a little more lively and noisy atmosphere, but because of the unique architecture of the Western Xia Kingdom, Xingqing Mansion does not seem to be as flowery as imagined, and it is not as poetic and elegant as Lin'an City.

At the end of the vast earth is the continuous thick green mountains, the blue sky above the head seems to be because of the plateau, but also becomes closer than in Lin'an, as if standing on the top of the tower of Chengtian Temple, you can reach out and touch the pieces of flying clouds.

So the people on the top of the tower have not taken their eyes off them since Ye Qing and Wu Juan left Chengtian Temple, until they watched the two of them enter a tavern, and then said, "It's always okay to give them some hardship, right?" ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
