Chapter 165 Conditions

Li Tingru's words may be just polite, casual compliments, or maybe they mean something. But these words obviously made Yelu have some scruples, he glanced at Li Tingru, looked out the window again, and finally said: "Hey, what can I do, this trip is a chore." ”

Li Tingru said with a smile: "If you want to do a big deal like shipping, I'm afraid there is no chance in Taiyuan, this Han country up and down, if you are not welcome, from the emperor to the people are full of poverty, there is nothing decent to sell, and it is impossible to buy any luxury goods." However, the Great Han Kingdom has its own unique things, which cannot be obtained at all in business. ”

Yelu seemed to have a ghost in his heart, and he was flustered by Li Tingru's words. In fact, he was responsible for his current mission to Taiyuan, and from the point of view of Tart, the purpose of this envoy was to make meritorious contributions. However, he doesn't have much confidence in his heart, or rather, he doesn't plan to go further in his career now, and he is already happy to go to the sea to make the tide. It's just that Yelu Tartlie's order is indeed a thorn, and there is no way to refuse. At that moment, Yelu looked left and right, and his heart was really hesitant.

Yelu's performance of dragging the stab made Li Tingru curious. Li Tingru came to meet Yelu Thorn, on the one hand, out of the consciousness of a diplomat, after seeing the new situation, he always wanted to do everything possible to figure out the situation, on the other hand, Li Tingru also shouldered a new task. For Li Tingru, Yelu's assassination as a messenger itself is full of weirdness, coupled with the news sent by Tian Yu secretly. Li Tingru judged that he came to Taiyuan this time to definitely want to use the Khitan southward movement as an excuse to let the Han Kingdom produce some more blood.

There may be two aspects to let the Han State bleed, one is to let the Han State increase the annual tribute, and the other is to let the Han State follow Shi Jingjiao's example and cut the land. What Li Tingru has to do is to figure out what the Khitan's final plan is. The Khitans went south, absolutely not for any purpose of "supporting justice and crusading against rebellious ministers and thieves", it must have a purpose. The final asking price of the Khitans also affected the decision-making of the high-level of Dachu to a certain extent.

The original bottom line of the top level of Chu State is very obvious. Even the Khitans knew the conditions of the Chu-Han alliance, that is, the Chu state only demanded the area east of Tongguan and south of the Yellow River. It is impossible for the Khitans to ask the Chu State for an enclave across the Han State, so if the Khitan has a territorial claim, then he can only make a claim to the Han State.

In principle, the state of Chu took the unification of the world as its own responsibility, and it was absolutely impossible to give up Hebei and Hedong. But now the situation has become complicated, and the top level of the Chu State judged that the puppet Zhou might abandon the Central Plains and take "living alone in Guanzhong and controlling the Central Plains in the east" as its strategic deployment. Pseudo Zhou's decision made Chu State's original plan passive. The state of Chu originally planned that the four countries would send troops to destroy the puppet Zhou, and then take advantage of the fact that the Khitans had an unstable foothold in Hebei, and suddenly turned around and seized Hebei. However, if the puppet Zhou took the initiative to retreat to Guanzhong, relying on the mountains and rivers and the elite white-clothed army, it would be difficult for the Four-Nation Alliance to eliminate the puppet Zhou in a short period of time, so that the Chu State would have to acquiesce that Hebei was under the rule of the Khitans for a long time, which made Ma Yun, Li Xiang, Zhao Pu, and other high-level Chu State leaders hesitate. In particular, when the strength of the pseudo-Zhou switch is getting stronger and stronger, and the determination to abandon the Central Plains is becoming more and more obvious, this makes the high-level of Chu even more worried.

The state of Chu is trying its best to pull the situation in the direction under his control, but the people of the pseudo-Zhou are not in vain at all, and often make some unexpected moves, such as the recent tension in Huainan, on the other hand, the ideas of the Khitan people are also changing, Yelu Tart Lie is pro-Chu is pro-Chu, but this bastard's proposition is to invade the south, once the pseudo-Zhou is beaten away, to what extent does Yelu Tart Lie want to invade the south? There are some people within the state of Chu who are now a little worried about this situation: the puppet Zhou took the initiative to withdraw from the Central Plains, the Khitan seized Hebei, and the state of Chu took Henan. Once the inferior nature of the Khitan people in fighting the grass valley does not change, there will inevitably be a conflict with the Chu State, and at that time, the Chu State will become the target of public criticism like the previous pseudo-Zhou.

Based on this consideration, the high-level officials of the Chu State also had to change their original intentions, wanting to form a buffer zone between the Chu State and the Khitan in the short term, so as not to directly connect the borders of the two countries, and the best candidate for this buffer zone was the Han State. How to protect the interests of the Han State, this heavy task fell on Li Tingru's shoulders.

Seeing Yelu's hesitation, Li Tingru smiled and said, "Hehe, isn't it a matter involving your country's secrets?" That's really a subordinate abruptness, General Yelu, offended. ”

Li Tingru replied so honestly, but it made Yelu a little embarrassed, he said with a smile: "It's not in the way to talk to you, anyway, you are not from the Han country, besides, the relationship between our two countries is like a family, I and the king of Xiangyin of your country are old friends, and the relationship between them can't be better." ”

Li Tingru had a smile on his face, but his right hand waved again and again, and stopped: "General Yelu, you can't talk nonsense. Fortunately, this is in Taiyuan, if it is in Jinling, or Shangjing, you and I will have to be impeached by the imperial history tomorrow! ”

Yelu was stunned for some unknown reasons, and said secretly in his heart: Did you take the wrong medicine, even if the relationship between our two countries is not good, you won't say this polite word?

Li Tingru explained with a smile: "Your and our two countries have a close relationship, so naturally there is nothing to say. But General Yelu said the wrong thing, you and the King of Xiangyin are good friends, but you must not say that you have been friends for ten thousand years. You think, your two countries are brothers, and my majesty is older than the emperor of your country, so we are brothers. But you are a brother to the king of Xiangyin, this generation is not only chaotic, but also a little disrespectful. “

"Ahh Jerod laughed. Seeing Li Tingru's smiling face, he completely understood that this kid was just joking with himself. However, according to what Li Tingru said, he really became Ma Yun's uncle, ah, no, then he became the uncle of his younger brother Yelujing. Hey, this generation is really messy enough.

With such a small episode, Yelu had a better opinion of Li Tingru, and he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, we are not outsiders. When I came this time, my brother Tzu Lie did give me a task. However, I don't think it's easy to accomplish this task. I'll tell you about it, and you can help me come up with ideas. ”

Li Tingru's face showed a little hesitation: "General, I'm afraid this matter is not good." ”

"Nothing good or bad. I'm not afraid of leaking this, and maybe it's a more unexpected benefit. Things are like this, our Khitan army is estimated to be able to go south in the autumn. My brother decided to send an army of 300,000. In this way, the pseudo-Zhou is probably going to be finished. Our emperor can support Liu Chengjun to restore the Han Kingdom. However, back then, Emperor Taizong (Yelu Deguang) supported Shi Jingjiao and won the fifteen states of Yanyun, and now our emperor supports Liu Chengjun, this Liu Chengjun must have some expression. ”

Li Tingru secretly said in his heart: Here, this Khitan people really have private plans, and listening to the meaning of Yelu's words, the Khitans want the Han State to cede territory. In this way, there is a conflict with the task you are taught. Li Tingru was secretly thinking about himself, but he said with a smile: "No wonder General Yelu came to Taiyuan City and was so arrogant." That's a clever trick! ”

Yelu scratched his head and said, "Master Li, do you also understand what I mean by doing this?" ”

"The general is an envoy of the Celestial Empire, and he has come to canonize Liu Chengjun. Therefore, Liu Chengjun burned incense and bathed, and sat in the Jinluan Hall early and waited for the general to come, but the general shirked it. Although it was only a day of deprecation, the information on this side was too much. Liu Chengjun will definitely think that he has done something wrong from time to time? He would wonder what he needed to do to satisfy the general's appetite. Your arrogant shirk made Liu Chengjun suddenly lose all confidence, and in the future, what are you asking, Liu Chengjun may not dare to refute you. I don't know if what Xia Guan said is right? Li Tingru analyzed.

"It is worthy of being the envoy of the State of Chu in Taiyuan, just like Tian Yu in Beijing, he is very smart, and he understands it all at once. Truth be told, this... I do think so. Master Li, do you think this is feasible too? Jerod asked humbly. Actually, this move

"Hehe, whether it is feasible or not, not because of how arrogant the general's attitude is, but also because of how big your appetite is, general? If Liu Chengjun can be satisfied with tightening his belt, then the general's move is of course wonderful, but if Liu Chengjun is difficult to do, the lower official is worried that the general's gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Oh. In fact, we Khitan just want the Han Kingdom to give up the Hebei area. Yelu inadvertently revealed his hole cards.

"General, is this your country's bottom line?" Li Tingru asked. This Khitan people have a really big appetite, although a few years ago, in order to persuade the Khitan to go south, Ma Yun gave a higher and higher price, among which the cession of Hebei is already considered the default of the Chu State. But now, the situation has changed, and Chu Guo thinks that the price is too high. His task Li Tingru is to help a group of Han countries and help them exchange prices.

Yelu hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Li Tingru sighed and said, "General, with all due respect, Liu Chengjun will not agree, why?" The reason is very simple, Henan belongs to my Dachu, Guanzhong belongs to undecided, after a big war, Liu Chengjun only got the old Hedong Road, but the payment is two or three times greater than Shi Jingjiao, do you think he will still do it? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Chengjun agrees to this request of your country, I am afraid that it will be difficult for your country to hold the Hebei Prefectures. The main reason for this is that there is a great contradiction between your country and the people of Hebei, and the people are not convinced, and it is very difficult for your country to settle down in a short period of time. A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future. ”
