After the ceremony, Yang Lin was about to go home, but a familiar person behind him stopped him.

"Yang Shaozai, Happy New Year."

"Xiao Linya, haha, this time your country still sent you to send an envoy, which shows that Emperor Liao attaches great importance to you, Brother Xiao has a bright future, this official is here to congratulate you first."

After saying a good meal, Khitan Linya Xiao Baoxian did not have the slightest joy on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Shaozai, I told you before, our Da Liao princess has married the king of Western Xia, in order to make the three kingdoms good neighborly and peaceful, and the people are free from war, can you let your army withdraw to Hengshan and stop attacking Western Xia again?" ”

The conquest of Western Xia was advocated by Cai Jing and Tong Guan, and there was no place for Yang Lin in this court at that time.

Cai Jing and Tong Guan relied on this opening skill and stood firm on their heels, Xixia had reached a very critical point, and they were really anxious.

Now that the imperial court is not short of money, several victories in internal and external wars have made Zhao Ji want to make achievements in martial arts.

Cai Jing and Tong Guan are hot again, and Vaxia's footsteps can't stop no matter what.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "This is a major matter of the military aircraft, how can this official be decided by a little young master, so let's wait for the state banquet, I will help you ask the Taishi." ”

Xiao Baoxian rolled his eyes in his heart, this familiar feeling is not the same as the last time when he kicked the ball back and forth.

Xiao Bao first decided to give him some color to see, he couldn't be too polite with this tired Shaozai, he coughed lightly, his face was calm, and his voice was more calm, and said: "Yang Shaozai, I have a million cavalry in Daliao, and I will not sit back and watch Princess Cheng'an be disturbed by the Song army and stay awake at night." If there is such a need, we will send troops to protect the safety of our princess. ”

Yang Lin sneered in his heart, this so-called Princess Yelu Nanxian of Cheng'an is just a Khitan clan, and she is far away from the emperor.

Historically, Li Qianshun, the Xia Chongzong of Xia Chongzong that they kept from the Song Dynasty in Khitan, after the rise of the Jurchens, became a vassal and became the dog leg of the Jin Dynasty, encroaching on the land of the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan everywhere. And Yelu Nanxian, who begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to marry, was a backbone, knowing that Li Qianshun followed the Jurchens to destroy the Khitan, and died of hunger strike in the palace.

Listening to Xiao Baoxian's threatening words, Yang Lin turned around and said to the Great Song officials around him: "I have long said that the Great Liao has a million armor and a thousand good generals, and it is a powerful country in the world. It is a blessing for the people of the world that such a strong country can be good-neighborly and friendly with us. In the future, our people will break Xiazhou City, and we must ensure the safety of Princess Anqing of Daliao. Whoever dares to touch Princess Anqing is my Yang Lin's enemy, the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, and the culprit of the destruction of the peace of the Liao and Song Dynasties. ”

Xiao Baoxian's brain hurt, and he sighed and said: "There are so many Fanbangs present today, why can you tolerate Goryeo, Dali, and Jiaozhi... Can't tolerate a Western Xia? ”

Yang Lin just wanted to answer, but a laughing voice sounded behind him: "Your envoy asked well, let this official solve your doubts for you." ”

As soon as everyone heard the voice, they knew that Cai Jing had arrived, and they all got out of the way, Yang Lin smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Enxiang, the student has given you a New Year's greeting." ”

Cai Jing nodded with a smile, and said to Xiao Baoxian: "The Li clan of Western Xia, originally my great Song courtier, in the second year of Yongxi, the thief Li Jiqian and his clan brother Li Jichong booby-trapped our general Cao Guangshi, and occupied Yinzhou, broke through Huizhou, intercepted 400,000 grain and grass of our army, and sent a large army to surround Lingwu City.

Although he defeated the Li thieves, he still let the land of Xia, Sui, Yin, You, and Jing be in him, and I only hope that the thief Li Jiqian can be grateful for the emperor's grace and don't have any more dissent.

Who knows that this thief not only did not appreciate the kindness of Emperor Zhenzong, but led the Qiang tribes to capture Lingzhou, an important town in the Great Song Dynasty, and renamed it Xiping Mansion, and then captured Liangzhou, an important town in the northwest, cut off the trade route between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Regions, cut off the tribute from the Western Regions to our dynasty, and at the same time forbade the Western Regions to sell horses to our Great Song Dynasty.

In the first year of Baoyuan, Li Yuanhao, the leader of the Western Xia thieves, openly proclaimed himself emperor. He also issued the so-called book of concubines, and made a lot of sarcasm and sarcasm at me from the emperor to the soldiers, is it tolerable or unbearable? ”

Xiao Baoxian heard it in a cold sweat, this Western Xia is indeed too out of line, even the Khitans know the virtues of these people, if it weren't for Li Qianshun's bitter begging, Da Liao was afraid that the Song people would have a horse breeding land in the northwest, and the military strength would be too powerful, so it would not necessarily help him with this.

For a long time, the Great Song Dynasty lost the land of Youyan and was blocked by the Western Xia to the trade route with the Western Regions, resulting in a lack of horses in the Great Song Dynasty. If they are given enough war horses, and even have a place to raise horses, can the Song people not want to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun?

Cai Jing was still smiling and asked, "May I ask your envoy, what is the reason why you are not going to cut down such Western Xia?" ”

In the past, the Song court did not agree to strike the army, and it was just a prevarication, but now Prime Minister Cai Jing has made it clear that there will be no truce, why is the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty, which has always been weak and afraid of war, so firm?

Xiao Baoxian's expression darkened, he came with a mission, and now Daliao is full of holes, internal and external troubles, and he is unable to start a war for the protection of Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty.

The Song people's record in the northwest made them even more jealous, you must know that the Xia army was not a weak brigade, but it was defeated and retreated.

It seems that it is impossible to convince the Song people to strike the army, because the Great Song monarchs and ministers will not talk to you at all, and they don't even want to know what the terms and conditions of the Western Xia offered.

Taking advantage of Xiao Baoxian's contemplation, Yang Lin said with a smile: "Enxiang, I want to go to Enxiang's mansion and pay homage to my early years." ”

Cai Jingxiao was meaningful: "Wen Yuan, a few people in my family don't know you, and they are born to share something." ”

An old man and a young man walked down the pile of jade buildings, and their respective entourages stepped forward, and then the hundred officials returned to their homes.

Yang Lin was in the carriage, his eyes closed, and he thought carefully about Cai Jing's words.

This old fox said loudly, it was clear that the battle intention had been decided, and he would definitely not stop in the northwest.

Of course, this is a good thing, and it is a huge victory for the Great Song Dynasty to recover the Western Xia, which can not only reopen the trade routes of the Western Regions, but also have a vast horse breeding land.

But why was Cai Jing suddenly so resolute, did he get some hint from the emperor? Or is there any news from Tong Guan?

When it comes to Yang Lin's position, if he is isolated from the decision-making circle, even if it is only once, he will not be able to bear it.

Today's historical trend may have changed because of his little butterfly. Can't remember it anymore according to the original trajectory, Yang Lin frowned, puzzled.

It seems that the movement between himself and Tong Guan is a little too little, so let's get in touch while the New Year is coming.
