Jerud prolongs life! Although this person is hateful, Li Zhang's evaluation of him is not very high, after all, as an envoy, he came to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to indulge his subordinates to commit murder, and even the escorted princess escaped, no matter what the reason is, it is enough to show that this person is very incompetent.

However, the above are just Li Zhang's previous thoughts, after seeing Yan Niang and understanding what happened, Li Zhang suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, since Yelu Yanshou is one of Han Derang's adopted sons, he even had to compete with other adopted sons from the royal family before, although he was defeated, but he did not completely lose power, how could such a person be so reckless?

In addition, Li Zhang also thought that since Yelu Yanshou wanted to kill Yan Niang, how could such a confidential matter be overheard by Yan Niang? And after Yan Niang escaped, the most beneficial thing was Yelu to prolong his life, firstly, he could justifiably no longer go to the big food, and secondly, he did not have to risk killing Yan Niang, after all, Yan Niang was the nominal princess of Liao, even if he could save his life after killing the other party, but in this life, he would never want to enter the core of the court of Liao.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, because this was probably a conspiracy by Yelu Yanshou, he deliberately let Yan Niang hear his plan to kill her, and forced Yan Niang to escape, thus becoming the biggest beneficiary of this matter, and by the way, he could also put the blame on Da Song's head, which was simply counted in one fell swoop.

Although the above is just Li Zhang's own conjecture, the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible, and even before Yelu prolongs his life, it is likely that he deliberately indulged his subordinates, firstly, to create conditions for Yan Niang to escape, and secondly, to confuse the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, so that people will not suspect him.

"It's a good Yelu to prolong his life, and he was almost deceived by you!" Li Zhang couldn't help gritting his teeth when he thought of the above, it seems that whether it is a Liao person or a Song person, there is no one who can climb to the top and is easy to match, Liu E is like this, Ding Wei is like this, and Yelu Yanshou is also the same.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang came to Zishantang as usual, and it was not surprising that Zhao Zhen really saw Li Zhang, as he did a few days ago, and told him about Yelu Yanshou, and according to him, Yelu Yanshou had no patience to wait any longer, and had decided to go back to Liao tomorrow.

"It seems that this conflict with Liao cannot be avoided, and the eldest lady has nothing to do about it!" Finally, Zhao Zhen sighed and said.

"Do you know what it's called?" After Li Zhang listened very calmly, he suddenly asked Zhao Zhen rhetorically.

"What?" Zhao Zhen looked at Li Zhang very puzzled.

"This is called a weak country without diplomacy, our Great Song Dynasty is inferior to the Liao State in terms of military strength, so it will be inferior everywhere, if our military strength is stronger than the Liao State, where will there be such troubles?" Li Zhang said unceremoniously that in order to let Zhao Zhen grow up early, he never missed any opportunity.

"I ...... Where is our Great Song Dynasty weak, the Liao State is called a reckless army, and their national tax revenue is not even as much as our tax revenue in Tokyo, if it is compared to financial resources, we don't know how many times stronger than them? Zhao Zhen was very unconvinced at this time, after all, the young man has a high heart, even if he is not as good as others, he is not willing to admit it.

"No matter how thin the wolf is, it is still a wolf, when it has claws and teeth and is hungry, it still has to eat meat, but no matter how fat the pig is, in the end it will still be killed and eaten meat, if you want to defeat the enemy, the first step is to face up to the difference in strength between the two sides, only by seeing each other and yourself clearly, can you find a way to change this situation!" Li Zhang once again unceremoniously pointed out Zhao Zhen's shortcomings.

"Yes...... I ......" Zhao Zhen seemed to be a little unconvinced at this time, but he opened his mouth but still couldn't find the words to argue, in fact, he also knew that although Li Zhang's words were cruel, they were the truth, the Great Song Dynasty was rich but not strong, and in the eyes of the Liao State, it was a fat meat that could bite at any time, otherwise the Liao State would not send troops south to fight the grass valley every year.

"Cousin, it's not terrible that your strength is not as good as a person, and pigs don't necessarily can't beat wolves, if a domestic pig can grow fangs and become the same as a wild boar, even a group of wolves won't dare to provoke it easily, so as long as you can make our Great Song grow fangs, you can directly crush the Liao Kingdom just by relying on your weight!" Li Zhang saw that Zhao Zhen's expression was a little depressed, and he also patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Can it really make our Great Song grow fangs?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but raise his head and look at him when he heard Li Zhang's words, the military weakness of the Great Song Dynasty has always been the heart disease of the Zhao family, and this is also caused by the Zhao family themselves, mainly because they are not at ease with the generals, refuse to give power to the people below, and implement the policy of strong cadres and weak branches, although this policy is not wrong, but it has greatly weakened the strength of the border army, which is also one of the main reasons why the army has been ineffective in foreign warfare.

"Of course you can, as long as you are determined, I can help you make Da Song grow fangs!" Li Zhang assured Zhao Zhen very solemnly that although the emperor was not omnipotent, if he wanted to change the status quo of the Great Song Dynasty, he could only get the emperor's support.

"Okay, if I ascend the throne in the future, cousin, you must help me!" Zhao Zhen was also convinced of Li Zhang's words, and said to Li Zhang very seriously at the moment.

"Don't worry, you're my cousin, who am I not helping you?" Li Zhang immediately patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder again and said, after finishing speaking, he suddenly stood up, and then said to Zhao Zhen again, "You help me ask for a leave, I may not be able to attend class today." ”

"Cousin, what are you going to do?" When Zhao Zhen heard that Li Zhang was going to ask for leave, he immediately couldn't help but stand up and ask, because Li Zhang rarely asked for leave, except for the last time he treated Miaoyuan and moved, he would stay here to accompany him to study.

"The affairs of the Liao State Mission can't be counted like this, if you really let Yelu Yanshou go back, I'm afraid the court won't have a good time, I have a way to give it a try!" Li Zhang didn't hide it, and immediately said to Zhao Zhen.

"Cousin, what can you do?" Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard Li Zhang's words, and he asked excitedly.

"This is a long story, I'll go find Yelu to prolong his life first, I'm not sure if it can succeed!" Li Zhang turned around and left Zishantang after speaking, he also thought about it for half the night last night, and finally came up with a solution, but this method is a bit risky, and he doesn't know if it can succeed?

The post house is the place where foreign envoys live, not far from the palace, Li Zhang used to pass by here, so after leaving the palace, he soon came to the outside of the post house, only to see a courtyard here next to a courtyard, because the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, so there are envoys from small countries around the country stationed all the year round, and the post house is naturally very lively with people coming and going.

However, the post house is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, for example, some unknown small countries, the envoys sent can only live in the worst post house, and a country like Liao, which is more powerful than the Great Song Dynasty, naturally lives in the highest post house, Li Zhang asked the officials of the post house, and soon found the courtyard where the Liao delegation lived under the guidance of the other party.

I saw that this courtyard in front of me occupies a large area, although it is not as good as his mansion, but it is not much worse, the courtyard is also a large courtyard and a small courtyard, hundreds of people from the Liao State Mission, plus hundreds of guards, can live in this courtyard.

"Wild dog, send me a sticker!" Li Zhang looked at the gate guarded by the knights of the Liao Kingdom, and immediately instructed the wild dog next to him that he was going to come to see Yelu Yanshou today, so he also deliberately brought the wild dog, after all, in case of conflict, the wild dog can also take him away, so as not to suffer immediate losses, as for Yan Niang at home, he asked the old knife to help watch.

In fact, in addition to the military is not strong, the economy and culture are very strong, and the Liao country is learning from the Song country in everything, such as the poems written by talented scholars here in Tokyo, maybe it will not take a few days to sing in the Liao country.

The Liao soldiers guarding the door took the sticker, and immediately sent it in, and after a while, the people inside invited them in, Li Zhang was not timid, and strode into the post house at the moment, and when he came to the hall, he saw Yelu Yanshou sitting in the hall at a glance.

"How dare you come to see me?" When Yelu Yanshou saw Li Zhang who walked in, he couldn't help but show a sneer at the moment, when he received Li Zhang's greeting just now, he was also very surprised, because he couldn't figure out why Li Zhang came to see him, after all, the two of them have clashed more than once, and it can really be called a narrow road, and it is good for him not to go to Li Zhang's trouble, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to come to the door.

"Hehe, this is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, why don't I dare to come?" Li Zhang fought back without showing weakness, and after speaking, he was not polite, and went straight to Yelu Yanshou and sat down opposite, he came to Yelu Yanshou to make friends in the first place, so there was no need to be polite to him.

Seeing Li Zhang's fearless appearance, Yelu Yanshou couldn't help but be stunned, and then snorted coldly: "What a big guts, but I have to go back tomorrow, and I don't bother to worry about a child like you, but our princess was lost in your capital, and then my majesty will blame it, and then see how your Song Kingdom ends?" ”

"The Yelu envoy is really calculating, first he forced the princess to escape, and then put the blame on our Great Song, while you yourself can return to Daliao intact and continue to compete with your brothers for the family property!" Li Zhang smiled at the moment, and directly broke Yelu's calculation of prolonging his life.

"You...... What do you mean? Sure enough, Yelu Yanshou's face changed when he heard Li Zhang's words, but then he returned to normal, and immediately asked again, with his city government, of course, it was impossible for Li Zhang to be tempted out so easily.

"It's not interesting, it's just that a friend asked me to bring something to the envoy of Jerod!" At this time, Li Zhang took out something from his arms with a smile, and then put it in front of Yelu Yanshou.
