Li Qi's silence made Duan Shiwen feel very worried, if Li Qi was not satisfied, then their previous efforts would be in vain, and he hurriedly said: "I know, this number of people is indeed a little small, but please rest assured, once our king raises his arms, this number will immediately double." The privy envoy may not know that in the thirty-seven tribes of my Dali, there are many tribal leaders who are very supportive of our king, but they are afraid of leaking the news, so our king did not invite them, but once it starts, they will definitely come to our king. ”

Sweat! I'm just thinking about it, do you need to be so nervous? Li Qi smiled: "Envoy Duan misunderstood, you have done well enough, but we have not given you enough support, and I am very sorry for this, and we are also very satisfied with your recent efforts." ”

It turned out that I was overthinking. Duan Shiwen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you to the privy envoy for being considerate." ”

Li Qi asked again, "Then I wonder what your king is going to do next?" ”

Duan Shiwen frowned, looked a little embarrassed, and sighed: "Privy envoy, our king is very considerate of your country, but I'm afraid this matter can't be delayed any longer, I'm afraid it will change later, if it keeps moving, the newly formed army may be discouraged, and a few years ago, the thirty-seven departments had reversed once, although it has been suppressed now, but the relationship between the Gao clan and them is still very tense, coupled with the internal strife of the Gao clan in recent years, our king thinks this is an opportunity." ”

The infighting of the Gao clan he said is the phase dispute of the Gao clan, since the post-Dali period, this phase is hereditary, and the Duan clan is just a puppet, which means that this phase is the throne, of course, it will cause contention.

After the death of Gao Taiming, the third generation of Chinese duke in Dali, his younger brother Gao Taiyun usurped the throne of Xiangguo. But a few years ago, Gao Taiming's son Gao Mingshun recaptured the phase, which is now the prime minister of Dali.

Although Gao Mingshun regained the phase, he has been doing his best to stabilize his position, and his policy is also internal and not external, so the open and secret battles between the factions within the Gao clan have not stopped.

Li Qi nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable, this matter must be carried out as much as possible, but your king is still in the palace, is there a way to escape?" ”

"Rest assured that we have made all sorts of arrangements. I have to nod my head, and our king can get out at any time. ”

Duan Shiwen said and took out a map from his sleeve, which was the map of their Dali country, spread it on the coffee table, and said: "Our king's first step is to seize the Jianchang Mansion in the northwest of my Dali, which just borders with your country, and this is also the land of my Dali rich in grain, if you can seize this place as a base camp, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Richie looked. Seeing that this Jianchang Mansion couldn't help but set a border with the Song Dynasty, and also with the Tubo Dynasty, it just so happened that the Tubo regime that bordered the Jianchang Mansion. The last time Tong Guan sent troops to the Hehuang region, he already belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and he pondered for a while before he nodded and said, "Your idea is good." The location of Jianchang Mansion is so critical, there must be heavy guards, can you be sure? ”

Duan Shiwen said: "The tribes around Jianchang Mansion are all towards our king. It's just that the Gao clan is also arranging heavy guards on the border with Tibet and your country. ”

With that, he looked at Richie again.

Li Qi said: "Do you want us to send troops directly?" ”

Duan Shiwen nodded.

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Regarding this point, I have already said that the division is unknown, if we send troops directly, it will definitely cause us to have a head-on conflict with your Dali, which will affect the image of my Great Song in the hearts of our allies, at least at this initial stage, I think it is impossible for the emperor to agree." ”

Duan Shiwen's heart fell when he heard this, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, plus several tribes, want to face the regular army of Dali, it is really enough, but if you don't capture Jianchang Mansion, then you can only seize Shicheng County, which is also bordered by the Great Song Dynasty, but Shicheng County is too close to Dali's capital, and it is also close to Jiaozhi, and the geographical location is more important, it is not a wise move.

Li Qi looked at Duan Shiwen's bitter face and said, "Although our Great Song Dynasty can't send troops directly, we can secretly support you." ”

When Duan Shiwen heard this, his eyes looked at Li Qi with hope.

Li Qi said with a smile: "We can secretly use the forces of Tubo to drag the troops of Jianchang Mansion at the border, and then give you the most advanced weapons, it is not a fantasy to take Jianchang Mansion, but you must be fast, hit them by surprise, as long as you can capture Jianchang Mansion, our weapons will continue to pour in." ”

When Duan Shiwen heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "This is very good, very good!" ”

Li Qi smiled and said, "By the way, what is the relationship between the Gao family and Jiaozhi now?" ”

Duan Shiwen was stunned, sighed and said: "Their relationship has always been very good, and they have secretly become allies, in fact, the reason why they do this is to compete with your country." ”

You don't need to provoke this, Lao Tzu knows it very well. Li Qi nodded slightly, but did not make a sound.

Duan Shiwen didn't know what Li Qi was thinking, and he was tentatively saying, "If we succeed then, the Gao family will probably ask for help." ”

"So you must be prepared for this!"

"And then—what about your country?"

Li Qi did not reply directly, but said: "Don't worry, we have made up our minds to support you, naturally we will not allow this money to be wasted, you just need to understand one thing, that is, your king is in power, for our Great Song Dynasty, the importance is self-evident." ”

This sentence made Duan Shiwen completely relieved and nodded again and again.

Li Qi said: "Regarding the second batch of aid, I have actually prepared almost, even the food I have prepared, I plan to let the merchant deliver it to you, but I will send it in several batches, you must be careful, if this grain is robbed, then we will have no extra food." In fact, Li Qi also concealed one point, that is, the most elite forbidden army of the Song Dynasty had already been on standby in Jiangnan.

Duan Shiwen said happily: "Please rest assured that we have already arranged it." ”

There is an internal response, which is really different. Richie smiled and nodded.

Duan Shiwen and Li Qi have been talking about Tianming, and some details have been determined, and the time is set for March next year, it is said that every year in this month, Emperor Duan will go out of the palace and enter the temple to pray for this year's spring ploughing, and he stays for a month, anyway, he has nothing to do, Duan Zhengyan plans to take this opportunity to escape from Gao's control.

Regarding how Duan Zhengyan got out, Li Qi really can't do it, but then again, if you can't even do this, then what else can you trust me.

Time is of the essence!

After the discussion was settled, Duan Shiwen hurriedly ordered the Kuaima Club Dali to tell Duan Zhengyan to act according to the original plan. And Li Qi also wrote a letter to Yue Fei, mobilizing them to mobilize food to prepare to support Duan Zhengyan, and at the same time, Zhao Kai also issued a holy decree and ordered the Zhujia army to be responsible for the affairs of Tubo.

And after Duan Shiwen finished talking with Zhao Kai and got a more definite answer, he quickly got up and went back to China.

However, on the third day after Duan Shiwen left, a shocking news came from the west.

At the end of November, Western Xia officially declared its independence.

Since Li Qi had already arranged for someone to wait for news in Western Xia, once Western Xia made any move, he had to notify Tokyo as quickly as possible, so the news could reach so quickly.

It turned out that after Richard returned to China, he immediately told the Song court the meaning to their king, and the Western Xia agreed that this was a good opportunity for independence, because the Song and Jin were greatly injured after this war, and it was difficult to recover in a short time.

Not only that, the Jin State now has to deal with the two troubles of Goryeo and Yelu Dashi, which can be said to be too busy to take care of itself, if it is not independent at this time, once the Jin State eases this breath, it will be even more difficult to be independent, plus the Jin State has repeatedly sent people to ask for the guilt, and does not fulfill the original covenant, and will hold all the strategic points of the Western Xia in their hands, which makes the Western Xia court feel that the Jin State does not have good intentions towards them, rather than being so suspicious of each other, it is better to break this layer of window paper.

Moreover, independence and being able to get the recognition of the Great Song Dynasty is what the Western Xia has always hoped for, because in the past, the Song Dynasty always wanted to annex the Western Xia and recapture this horse farm, and the Western Xia could only choose the policy of both sides, and now the Song court has given a very obvious hint, and the king of the Western Xia feels that there is no reason to prevent the independence of the Western Xia.

So on the one hand, the king of Western Xia secretly contacted Yelu Dashi, and on the other hand, he sent people to Yunzhou to negotiate, hoping that the Jin State could fulfill his original promise and return the land to Western Xia.

When the Song army was killed in Yunzhou, if you gave some strength, how could Lao Tzu's Yunzhou let the Song army divide a part, I didn't go to you to settle accounts now, it was already very restrained, and you still had the face to ask me for land.

After Yan Zonghan scolded angrily, he blasted the Western Xia envoys out of Yunzhou.

The Western Xia had long expected it, so after the Western Xia envoys returned home, the Western Xia immediately used this as a reason to criticize the Jin State for not being trustworthy and not fulfilling the original promise, so the oath between the two countries could not be counted, and the foreign declaration of independence was declared, and the king of the Western Xia was crowned, took off the mask of hypocrisy, and became the real emperor.

When the news reached the Song court, all the ministers in the court were surprised, except for the two, that is, Li Qi and Zhao Kai, which was really a great news for him, if the Goryeo side succeeded again, then the Jin country was undoubtedly isolated, which was really bad for the Jin country that was not long after the founding of the country.
