It is absurd for the emperor of one country to seal the emperor of another country, and the Empress Dowager Xiao seems to do this as a last resort.

If the Liao State does not seal Li Deming, then the Song State will definitely seal it; From the analysis of the current situation, Li Deming is stepping on two boats, Xiao Tzu first, if Li Deming is forced to be anxious, he will fall to the Song State to jointly crusade against the Great Liao Khitan State; Then the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom will establish a hard bone that is difficult to gnaw and a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat.

Li Deming is the emperor, and it seems normal to ask Xiao Tzu what he was doing in Fengxiang Mansion first; On the other hand, if Xiao Tzu concealed it first, it would be a bit abnormal.

After all, Xiao Tzuxian was not a reckless person like Zhang Fei, and after weighing it for a long time, he finally told the truth: "The last general flattered the order of the Empress Dowager and rushed to Fengxiang Mansion to kill Xue Shisan and his granddaughter Xue Jin'er!" ”

Li Deming was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and said with a sneer: "General Xiao is outspoken and fast-talking, but the Great Xia Kingdom doesn't want to have a bad relationship with the Song State; If the general killed Xue Shisan and Xue Jin'er, then the hundreds of thousands of troops on the border of the Song Dynasty would not be able to level the Great Xia Kingdom? I also hope that the general will not breed right and wrong, for the sake of the weak generals and widows of the Great Xia Kingdom, he will raise his noble hand and let go of a horse; The military and people of the Great Xia Kingdom will not forget the kindness of the general! ”

Li Deming's words are not like those spoken by an emperor, but like a weak man praying to the strong; With such a posture and mind, Xiao Tzu really didn't see many of them first.

Xiao Tzu was embarrassed and embarrassed, and Li Deming seemed to pray to him; But a pair of wise eyes are full of resourcefulness and temperament.

He is a good man who can bend and stretch, and Han Xin's ability to suffer the humiliation of his crotch back then shows that he is the only one who does great things; The fact that Li Deming's generation of kings can deign to beg for mercy like this is enough to show that his big belly can tolerate things that are intolerable in the world.

Xiao Tzu stared at Li Deming speechlessly, Li Deming laughed twice and took his hand and said: "If General Xiao doesn't listen to the advice of the widow, then he can only tie up the lonely family and escort him to the Empress Dowager Xiao; The widow stated his reasons to her in person! ”

Li Deming: This is both soft and hard! In the end, he simply scolded him: "The lonely family said so much in front of me, it's just a family's words, I think there are still more than 100,000 troops in Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Great Xia; If General Xiao forcibly rushed from the Western Xia Kingdom to Fengxiang Mansion, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xingqing Mansion might not agree! ”

Li Deming said, unexpectedly stood up and circled around the wine table, hehe, sneered a few times, and said: "Although the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Western Xia cannot resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, they can deal with only 31 people in General Xiao; It's not as easy as crushing a few ants to death! Li Deming issued a deterrent order to Xiao Tzuxian.

No matter how confused Xiao Tzu was, he could hear Li Deming's voice-over, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Deming and said, "Emperor Xixia don't see outside, General Ben just wants to test your tone; Since you have concerns, you can only cancel this operation and return to Daliao to give a message to Empress Dowager Xiao! ”

Li Deming stared at Xiao Tzu quietly and snorted coldly: "Then listen, please ask General Xiao to tell the Empress Dowager of the Great Liao Cheng; Don't base your happiness on the pain of others, people respect me and I respect others! Li Deming has become a completely different person.

After Li Deming said the above words, he asked his guards to escort Xiao Tzuxian's 31 Xiao cavalry captains to the Xialiao border.

Xiao Tzu first and the 31st cavalry lieutenant left the territory of Western Xia and entered the territory of Liao, and Li Deming's guards left with confidence to repay their master.

Li Deming's hand is really amazing, at least under his nose, Xiao Tzuxian's 31 Xiao cavalry captains did not enter the Song realm through the border of the Xia Kingdom; As for the things that Li Deming can't see, it is a conscience account, and Li Deming can only be out of sight and not distracted.

After Xiao Tzuxian's 31 cavalry captains entered the territory of Liao, they did not move forward, but stationed down to find another good strategy.

Xiao Tzuxian was in a very depressed mood, and he planned to send his subordinates back to the capital to inform Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang, the king of Wenzhong, of the unfavorable situation of the division; The wise tart Mahe grunted: "Don't be anxious, the king, if we can't complete the task, we will rush back to report to the queen mother; It can only show that 31 Xiao Cavalry Captains are incompetent! Incompetence is not the style of the Khitans, the Khitans are wolves; The wolf's temperament is indomitable, and he will never give up until he reaches his goal! ”

He said and looked around with his eyes, and said: "People say that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." Great King, you are the Yuyue Great Heavenly King of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, the reason why the Empress Dowager Chengtian gave such an important task to you is your absolute trust, how can you give up halfway because of Li Deming's obstruction in Western Xia? Xixia, a small country of Xi'er, is fundamentally a country of villains who have gone back on their word and have no integrity at all, so let's write down the hatred for him, and find another way? ”

He said eloquently, Xiao Tzu was stunned for a moment, and his face was red and purple. Xiao Tzu was first Yu Yue Da Heavenly King, but He Gulu was the tart horse of the Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu Xingsheng Palace, that is, the chief manager of the palace account as the Han people; Although Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu has not yet ascended the throne, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the emperor; He Gulu is a close confidant of the Liao Holy Sect, and Xiao Tzu can't help but listen to his words......

Xiao Tzu was combing his emotions first, and Da Xidu, who had a black hair on his cheeks, said a little shrewdly: "Hegu Tart Horse is not wrong!" Now Western Xia maintained good relations with the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty opened the border field; Merchants from two countries and even from a third country can come and go freely, and not far from us is the salt pond of Xia Kingdom; If we disguise ourselves as merchants selling green salt and enter the territory of the Song Kingdom, it will not be a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone! ”

Xiao Tzu first clapped his hands and praised, saying that the three stinkers had beaten one Zhuge Liang; Everyone got together and muttered like this, how did it ...... Hahaha...... Got the idea......

Xiao Tzuxian was pleased to be strong for a while, raised his arm and said: "Immediately take off the Liao army uniform and change it into a businessman's clothing, especially the hair must be covered with a putou!" ”

A handful of hairy Daxi heard Xiao Tzuxian say this, frowned and said, "King, what about the weapon?" Our weapons include knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, Ge, hammers, sticks, lances, rods, spears, rakes, etc. ”

Xiao Tzu first heard Daxi say this, and seemed to remember the eighteen weapons and Turkic scimitars carried by the 31 Xiao cavalry captains.

There is nothing to say about the eighteen weapons, but the Turkic scimitar is the magic weapon of the 31 cavalry captains.

The Great Liao Khitan people claim to be the Donghu Xianbei people, and the Xianbei people evolved from the Xiongnu and Turkic people; Warriors carry Turkic scimitars in order to reveal their identity.

The origin of the Turkic scimitar can be traced back to a long time, and the Arabian scimitar was transmitted to Central Asia after the expansion of the Arab Empire; The Turks combined the mechanics of the scimitar with the impact of the horses seamlessly, and they played it to the extreme, even the powerful soldiers of the Sui and Tang Empires could hardly parry. But the Tang Dynasty was a great era after all, and the Mo knife deduced from the Turkic scimitar was even better; However, the forging technology of the Mo knife is difficult to master, and the Yidi Fanfan people inherited the building technology of the Turkic scimitar.

The Turkic scimitar is made of special steel, and the knife with a cast pattern on the surface is one of the three famous blades in the world; The length ranges from more than ten centimeters to tens of centimeters, and the handle and scabbard are made of steel, silver, etc.; There are exquisite patterns on the surface, and some are also filled with enamel and inlaid with precious stones; The Turkic scimitars of Xiao Tzuxian's 31 cavalry captains highlight the characteristics of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, and they are even more cold and sharp.

Xiao Tzu pondered for a long time, and said to the 30 Xiao cavalry captains: "Hide all the weapons and Turkic scimitars and hang them on horseback, and you can't take them out until you have to......

A caravan of 31 men was quickly assembled, 31 men on 31 tall horses; All of them were dressed as Song merchants, with long robes and short shirts and square heads on their heads; Drove all the way to the salt pond, where the green salt was produced in the Great Xia Kingdom.

The green salt of Yanchi is well-known in China, especially the favorite condiment of the Song people is the green salt of Western Xia; Once there was no war between the Song and Xia countries, salt merchants inside and outside the Great Wall would gather at the salt pond from all directions; Exchange all kinds of silk, cotton, gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, and dry metal supplies for green salt.

After Xiao Tzu arrived with 31 Xiao cavalry captains, the streets and alleys of Yanchi were almost all salt merchants; Large carts and small carts, people carrying horses, and the teams transporting green salt are working day and night; Small merchants and vendors lived in the inns and inns around the salt pond, and many of them were soldiers of the Song Kingdom.

The Song Dynasty allowed the army to do business, which existed during the reign of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and the most profitable business was not the Qingyan of the Western Xia Kingdom.

Green salt is the economic foundation of the Western Xia Kingdom, and all merchants who come here to purchase salt do not refuse regardless of nationality; The soldiers of the Song Dynasty collectively purchased salt and transported it back to Weizhou, Qingzhou, Fengxiang, Jingzhao and even Tokyo Bianliang to make up for the lack of military spending.

Xiao Tzu first walked around the ranks of salt sellers, and then accosted a military leader.

The head of the army is Zhao Xibao, the branch officer of the seed army, and the founder of the seed army is a kind of Shiheng; The family army is more famous than the Yang general, and the role is greater than that of the Yang general; It's just that the Yang family will walk on the stage and be rendered brilliantly, but the family army walked into the thread-bound book and was annihilated by the text.

The problem may be that the family army is not a descendant, and the supply and military expenses must be solved by themselves.

After the ban was opened in the Song Xia Dynasty, Zhao Xibao was ordered by the old breed to lead a team of mules and horses to transport salt from the salt pond of the Western Xia Kingdom to Guanzhong.

Zhao Xibao's subordinates were all soldiers of the Seed Army, and of course they did not wear the clothes of the Great Song Army after becoming salt dealers; No one can recognize the words on their faces, and the reason why Xiao Tzuxian knows whether they are Song Jun or these people speak by themselves.

Zhao Xibao and Xiao Tzu fought for a while, and Xiao Tzu first knew that his transport team of mules and horses was too tired and died; Looking for a new pannier.

Xiao Tzuxian was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that their 31 horsemen dressed as merchants had come to Yanchi, and it seemed that they had not left in vain; When I first arrived, I came across a good deal.

This good deal is not just about making money, but about transporting salt to Guanzhong Province; Arriving at the destination of Xiao Tzuxian's operation is not yet a boat ride......

Xiao Tzuxian thought happily in his heart and didn't take the initiative to open his mouth, just waiting for Zhao Xibao to open his mouth to himself.

Whoever speaks first and then opens his mouth is a business skill, for example, if you are the first to open your mouth to sell something, then the price must be reduced a little if it is not reduced; The last one to speak will seize the initiative and will not be swayed by the one who speaks first.

Zhao Xibao is a lean and cunning man, around 40 years old, with a pair of mouse eyes full of treachery and mystery; He accosted Xiao Tzu a few words first, and saw that he was followed by 31 majestic military horses; I couldn't hold back my temperament and asked, "My brother is also a salt dealer, right?" ”

Xiao Tzu nodded quietly, and Zhao Xibao volunteered to introduce; said that he was a branch officer of the Northern Song Dynasty Army, and the mules that carried salt were tired to death; Asked Xiao if he could rent his horses to transport salt.

Isn't this drowsiness meeting a pillow? But Xiao Tzu deliberately twisted for a long time, and finally said sonorously: "Yes!" As long as we can make money, we will cooperate with Zhao Guanren...... It depends on whether the brother of the Zhao family is sincere......"

Xiao Tzuxian's Chinese language was precise and fluent, and Zhao Xibao held his hand tightly and laughed loudly: "Where do brothers speak, it is a fate that we can meet in a foreign country; If this business can make money, I will definitely not lose my brother's freight......"
