Xiao Tianyou came to the Xia Kingdom, and Li Jiqian, the king of the Xia Kingdom, was the Jiedu envoy assigned to Ningxia by the former Great Song Dynasty, because he later took the daughter of the Song Emperor's clansmen, although he has now become the monarch of the Xia Kingdom, but the original intention is still the subordinate of the Song Dynasty. This time, the Liao Emperor Yelulong continued to send Xiao Tianyou over to draw in the connection between the Xia Kingdom and the Great Liao.

At this time, Li Jiqian was discussing the affairs of his country with his subordinates, after all, he had only created the Xia Kingdom, and many things needed to be solved urgently.

But at this time, his subordinates suddenly came to tell him that he had seen the lord of the country, and the envoy Xiao Tianyou, the envoy of the Great Liao, asked to meet the lord of the country, and his subordinates didn't know whether they wanted to see him or not.

Li Jiqian said to his subordinates: Now the purpose of the Liao people sending Xiao Tianyou is to think that there must be some requirements, do you say that the lord of the country should not see Xiao Tianyou, and when should he see Xiao Tianyou.

His adviser Zhang Pu opened his mouth and said: Now that the king has just received the complete seal of Emperor Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty, if we turn our backs on the Emperor Song to meet the envoys of the Great Liao, it will make the world laugh at it.

Li Jiqian opened his mouth and said: Don't you mean that the envoy of the Liao State asked him to go back first, my Great Xia has now cooperated with the Southern Song Dynasty, is there no need to provoke them Liao?

Zhang Pu opened his mouth and said: The king gets along with various countries, and the first means that exists is mutual benefit, since Northern Liao can send Xiao Tianyou to come, it must give me the interests of the Great Xia Kingdom, the so-called great things do not care about a little benefit, but if we can ask for something from the Liao State, it is not a good thing for us, the so-called cooperation is two benefits, and division is two harms. Song Liao gets along with each other must depend on whose interests are greater, we are like who looks, in the same way, if the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty fight, if the Great Song Dynasty wins, we will help the Great Song, if the Great Song Dynasty wins, we will help the Great Liao, in short, no matter who loses and who wins, in the end, the result is not the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, we Daxia wants to win the Central Plains and dominate the world, these two countries are the king's chess, who do you want to help, the king is not your word. After all, now Song and Liao are inseparable from you, the king, am I right?

Don't look at Li Jiqian looking young, but his heart is deep and filthy, he now feels that what Zhang Pu said is very reasonable, so he said: What Mr. said is extremely true, even if you are so widowed, listen to you, sir. Sir, when do you think it is most appropriate for a widow to meet the envoys of Liao?

Zhang Pu opened his mouth and said: I think thirty minutes later, the king thinks that you are now calculating the arrival time of these people, if you easily see their group of people and think that the king you are very easy to meet, the king might as well hone their patience, so that you can kill the envoys of the great Liao, and then you can negotiate the conditions, so that you can get what you want at once.

Li Jiqian smiled with satisfaction and said: Just do what you say, sir, and the widow will listen to you.

Xiao Tianyou of the Liao State is waiting for Li Jiqian, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, to meet him, although Xiao Tianyou has a good temper at this time, there is one person whose temper is not very good, that is, the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu is the personal guard Yelu Wen, this Yelu Longxu knows that this person Xiao Tianyou is going to the Xia Kingdom, and he may encounter any security problems on the way, and sending such a person can make this group of people play a deterrent role, and more importantly, he can see the importance of Yelu Longxu to this matter.

Ye Luwen asked Xiao Tianyou, and said: My lord, why haven't the people of Xia Kingdom come to meet us, I see if they look down on our Da Liao, if they look down on our Da Liao, then let's go!

I saw Xiao Tianyou say to Yeluwen smoothly: General Yelu is still my Da Liao General Jin Wei, my Da Liao is a horseback general, Da Liao foundation is Taizu Taizong's long-term southern and northern war, but it is not so simple to fight the world, fighting a war is not only about grain and grass, first of all, it is diplomacy, Your Majesty sent the general you here for the purpose of letting you know more about my Da Liao enemy, this is called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, a hundred battles will not be defeated, to defeat your own enemy, first of all, to understand the enemy, and then according to the enemy's character, to develop the corresponding strategy, Now you understand, General Jerry.

Ye Luwen opened his mouth and said: You mean that the emperor did this on purpose, just to get to know Xia Guo better through us, but sir, we all made a gesture of asking to see why Li Jiqian Xiao'er has not seen us yet.

Xiao Tianyou opened his mouth and said: Since ancient times, we will first endure it, Da Liao wants to dominate the world, that is, learn to be patient, from Li Jiqian did not send someone out just now, and did not say whether to give us a word, it can be seen that Li Jiqian has some intentions, presumably now Li Jiqian has planned to see us, if we turn around and leave, he will feel that we Da Liao has no sincerity in cooperation, if it is to give up time to wait or successfully wait for victory to come, so for the two I prefer the second one, so the most important thing now is the sentence that the Central Plains people said to put the long line, Catch big fish to get results we don't expect.

Ye Luwen opened his mouth and said: What Mr. said makes sense, I almost affected my chances of dominating the world because of my emotions, I'm really a little embarrassed!

Xiao Tianyou smiled and said: Jin Wuzu is not perfect, and Confucius will also have this situation, not to mention ordinary people like us, so I can understand that the general makes this kind of mistake, let's wait and see together!

Yeluwen only said a word, and then said, "Listen to you, sir."

Time also passed quickly, and thirty minutes later, Li Jiqian's subordinates saw Xiao Tianyou, the envoy of the Liao State, and the two said: My family wants to see you, and I asked me to come in and ask you to go in, and he wants to see you.

Xiao Tianyou opened his mouth and said: Please let this little brother lead the way, let's go and see your lord, please.

Li Jiqian's subordinates took Xiao Tianyou and the two of them, and when they saw Li Jiqian, the lord of the Xia Kingdom, they saw that at this time, he was frightened by such a young age who could break through the sky. When Xiao Tianyou saw Li Jiqian, he immediately saluted and said: See Lord Li, Lord Li, are you okay lately?

Li Jiqian opened his mouth and said: I don't know why the Great Liao Kingdom sent Xiao envoys to my Great Xia Kingdom, it won't be something to ask my Great Xia Kingdom!

Xiao Tianyou smiled and said: "That's the case, Lord Li, our former emperor Emperor Xianheng has passed away, but now His Majesty Kaixing of my country's Great Liao has sent me to Xia State Affairs, so that you can send envoys to my Great Liao to get closer to my Great Liao.

Li Jiqian instantly felt embarrassed, and replied: Participating in the affairs of the emperor of your country, what does this have to do with us, don't you forget that we are still attached to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Emperor and your Great Liao are mortal enemies, if the assassins of the Great Song Dynasty are spied on and say that my Great Xia Kingdom has betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, and throwing myself into the arms of the Great Liao will not make everyone in the world feel that the lord of the country has no faith or no intention.

Xiao Tianyou smiled and said: Could it be that the lord of your country has always wanted to become a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty? As far as I know, the position of the lord of the country is still given to you by the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so you are willing, dead hearted, and willing to serve the Song Dynasty.

Li Jiqian heard Xiao Tianyou say this, and said: What do you mean by that? Tell me what you're here for.

Xiao Tianyou opened his mouth and said: I am thinking about the lord of the country, the lord of the country try to imagine, if you can cooperate with me in Da Liao this time, this is mutually beneficial for both of us, I think the Xia State has just been established, the national strength is weak, and you are looking for the Song Dynasty to help you, but you have thought that the national strength of the Song Dynasty is too ordinary, and the Song people have never counted words, how can it be like my Da Liao is strong, the people are strong, and what is the situation of my Da Liao? I think you also know that although our emperor is a descendant of the grassland people, but our Da Liao has always been a good man, I remember the Central Plains has an ancient saying called the two benefits of cooperation, and the two evils of separation, I want to tell you that since we want to cooperate first and pay attention to credibility, if the Song people later know that you have taken refuge in us, then there is also the protection of our army of Da Liao, my Da Liao soldiers and horses are all iron-blooded cavalry, and there is no problem at all to attack the Song State to protect you in the south! I don't know what your country thinks.

Li Jiqian's subordinates all felt that what Xiao Tianyou said made sense, and said to Li Jiqian, the lord of the Xia country: What the lord of the country said is very true, the lord of the country, just imagine, if there is the help of Da Liao, even if you want to attack the Song land, there will be no problem at all, what do you think?

Li Jiqian opened his mouth and said: What you said is for our consideration, but I am afraid that this matter is not only beneficial, as the old saying goes, there are advantages and disadvantages, I think you want to say so much now, it is completely selfish! It's hard for people to succeed without selfishness, talk about what you think.

Xiao Tianyou opened his mouth and said: The lord of the country is like what you said, the first thing to pay attention to when getting along with various countries is the pros and cons, let me tell you, as long as you send someone to my Da Liao this time, if you send someone this time or even say that you want to go further, it will not be a problem, once you reach a cooperation with my Da Liao, we Da Liao will send troops to help you succeed. Just like I told you just now, is it possible that your dignified Xia State Lord has always opened up territory for the Great Song Dynasty, and you are willing to degenerate into a subordinate of the Great Song Dynasty, as a Great Song Dynasty sword, the sword is good but the people's hearts are not easy to deal with, even if you don't want to go further and become a capital person? But don't the generals under your generals want to be a master?

Li Jiqian thought in his heart, does he know my inner thoughts, I really want to go further and become a great emperor. I don't want to be the lord of the country all the time, Li Jiqian said with some emotion: Then I'll discuss it with my subordinates first, after all, this matter can be big or small.

Xiao Tianyou saw that Li Jiqian had some ideas, and suddenly felt that this matter would definitely be successful, as long as this person had ideas and desires to achieve something, he would definitely be able to do it, at this time, I saw him open his mouth and say: That's the best, the lord of the country think about it more, just like I just said, maybe we may become friends who help each other in the future. I'll go down and rest first, and the lord of the kingdom will think about it! Anyway, I'm all thinking about your country.

Li Jiqian smiled and said: What your envoy said is extremely true, and what he said is extremely reasonable, then I will take care of the envoy according to the arrangement of people first, and let me discuss the rest with my subordinates before making a decision, how to do it! Someone came to send Xiao envoy to rest and rest.

Xiao Tianyou opened his mouth and said: In this case, then I, Xiao Tianyou, am here, thank you, the lord of the country!

Li Jiqian's subordinates took Xiao Tianyou to a place and asked him to rest here first, waiting for the news of success.
