It is indeed not easy to get past the Jin people to contact the Liao people. Moreover, in order to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Jin people at this time, the Liao people have fled far into the desert or the vast Western Regions.

Ming Jian also doesn't know this period of history, he doesn't know where Yelu Dashi is developing, and the Western Regions are so big, which is not much better than Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, and he may not be able to find Yelu Dashi for a few years.

Hu Xian said: "Official, now the Great Song Dynasty has frequent business and trade exchanges with various countries, and the ministers are willing to blend into the caravan and envoy to the Liao State, and the Jin people are also corrupt officials, and the ministers can bribe their checkpoint guards, and it is not impossible to enter the Liao State when the time comes." ”

Using the caravan as a cover, this is indeed a good way, although the Song and Jin are in a hostile state, but the caravan, is still very tolerant, the Song Dynasty opened up grain and iron tools, and now there will be a large number of merchants going back and forth between the two countries every day, under normal circumstances, merchants can travel freely.

"Haha, what Aiqing said is very true, I will make you a special envoy now, organize a group on a certain day, and prepare to send an envoy! I'll let you do it cheaply! Ming Jian said.

Hu Xian said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

However, at this time, Li Ruoshui hurriedly walked in.

"Qiqi official's house, the envoy of the Liao people arrived, asking to see the official's family. After talking to him initially, the minister felt that the Liao people could become a great help to our Great Song Dynasty, so he brought him here and was waiting outside the palace. Li Ruoshui said.

Ming Jian was overjoyed and said: "This is really a coincidence, I and the three Aiqing are discussing how to unite the Liao people, but I didn't expect the Liao people to arrive, pass!" ”

"Spread the Liao envoy Xiao Lili to see you!"

Soon, a tall and burly Khitan man walked in, saw Ming Jian, and actually knelt down.

"Foreign Minister Xiao Lira, knock on the Great Song Emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Ming Jian smiled: "Flat, come here, give a seat!" ”

"Thank you Da Song Tianzi!" Xiao Lira said gratefully.

You must know that the Liao State has been destroyed, and the Khitans no longer have the sense of superiority they once had over the Song people, but they are still treated favorably, and Xiao Lira is naturally very moved.

Along the way, Xiao Hulira heard about the great changes that have taken place in the Great Song Dynasty in the past two years, especially the fact that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty actually escaped from the Golden Camp and then won several major battles in a row, which made Xiao Hulira full of expectations for this trip.

After he sat down, Ming Jian asked, "Where is your son of heaven?" ”

Xiao Lira said respectfully: "Back to the Great Song Dynasty Emperor, our Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, Emperor Tianzuo has been defeated, and now it is led by the King of Yelu Dashi, occupying the city of Kedun, the Great King ordered the foreign ministers to send envoys to the Great Song Dynasty, asking the Great Song Dynasty Son of Heaven to send troops to restore the country for my Liao State, if the Great Song Dynasty Son of Heaven agrees, our Liao State is willing to pay tribute from generation to generation, and forever be the northern domain of the Great Song Dynasty!" The Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty has repeatedly defeated the Jin people, we Liao people are very impressed, this time to meet the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, the king of my family specially sent the Yongfu County Lord who worships the Son of Heaven to come, serving the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the county lord has been in the post house, waiting for the Son of Heaven to summon! ”

Ming Jian nodded slightly, Yelu Dashi seemed to be sincere this time, and even the sister was sent.

But eating people with a soft mouth, taking people with soft hands, and accepting Yelu Dashi's sister-in-law, there is one more brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law is very troublesome, he wants to open his mouth, and it is difficult for him to refuse.

After a while, he asked again: "Now that the Jin people are powerful, it is not easy to restore the country for the Liao State, we have also been attacked by the Jin people, and I am now also lying on the salary to try the courage, I am afraid that I will not be able to send troops in three or five years." ”

Xiao Weili hurriedly said: "Son of Heaven, you can't wait for three or five years, we Liao people are homeless, living in a hurry in the desert, if the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty is not saved, I am afraid that there is a danger of extinction, and the foreign minister kowtows to the Son of Heaven!" ”

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed, and after a while, he was bleeding.

Ming Jian was quite moved, he stepped down from the throne, came to Xiao Lira, helped him up, and said, "In this case, I agreed!" Come, sit down and talk. ”

Xiao Lili showed joy and said, "Thank you, the foreign minister, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Ming Jian asked again: "The Jin people are brutal and cannot be tolerated, but if you want to restore the country for the Liao State, it is not enough to rely on the Great Song Dynasty alone, and you Liao people must also send troops." I wonder how many string controllers you still have? ”

Xiao Lili said: "Back to the Great Song Dynasty, there are more than 10,000!" ”

Ming Jian nodded, it seems that Xiao Hu is not false and does not exaggerate. When Yelu Dashi left Emperor Tianzuo, he actually only took 200 people to leave, but now he has actually got more than 10,000 people, this Yelu Dashi is definitely a talent.

These 10,000 Liao people can definitely fight, this is basically the last armed force of the Liao people, and on the verge of extinction, they will definitely burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

The combat effectiveness of the Liao people is actually not worse than that of the Jin people, but their ruling class has a problem, which led to the destruction of the country.

Ming Jian said: "Very good! Your king is eloquent, I have also heard of it, in just a few years, he quickly recovered the power of self-preservation, which shows that your king's talent is outstanding! Intended purpose: Yelu Dashi is talented, he was named the king of Liao, and the Great Song Dynasty gave him a number of iron tools and grain, so that the king of Liao was strong and waited for the opportunity to move! ”

"Thank you to the Great Song Emperor!" Xiao Lili was overjoyed and said.

With iron tools and food, why can't you return to the country? Xiao Lira is full of confidence in Yelu Dashi, although he has now become the king of the Song Dynasty, but after the restoration of the country, Da Liao will dominate one side again, and it will not be too late to be the emperor again.

Ming Jian said again: "I will send an envoy to go to Kedun City with you, the Jin people are powerful, you need to be cautious, if the Jin people come to attack, you can quickly retreat into the hinterland of the Western Regions, destroy those small countries to accumulate strength, and then deal with the Jin people!" ”

Xiao Lili said: "The foreign minister has written it down, and after he goes back, he will report to the King of Liao." ”

"Xiao Lira, I will restore the country for your Liao people today, and I will do my best to restore the power of the Great Song Dynasty, if you don't succeed, you will be greatly injured, so you must go all out, and when necessary, you must fight to the death! If I know that I am waiting for you and wronging the snake, I will not spare it, and when the time comes, my iron horse will cross the Kunlun Mountain and wipe out the clan, you know! Ming Jian finally warned Xiao Lira.

Xiao Lira felt the thick murderous intent of the Ming Sword, and couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly said: "The Son of Heaven has restored the country for our Liao people, how dare we Liao people be treacherous?" must shed the last drop of blood for the Son of Heaven, do not destroy the golden dog, and swear not to be a man! ”

Ming Jian smiled, patted Xiao Lira's shoulder and said, "Haha, good, very good!" Come here, set up a banquet, and send someone to invite the county lord of Yongfu, I will personally wash the dust for the county lord and Xiao Lili! ”

"Yes!"

The banquet was quickly arranged, Yelu Dashi's old sister Yelu Feiyan, the lord of Yongfu County, was also invited into the palace, Ming Jian saw it, and felt that his heart was also satisfied, although this Yongfu County Lord did not have the appearance of a woman in the Central Plains, but he had a wild beauty, and he was tall, which was very suitable for Ming Jian's aesthetics.

"Come on, come on, county lord, sit by my side!" Ming Jian smiled.

Yelu Feiyan walked over unceremoniously, with a pair of eyes, kept looking at Ming Jian, and then sat in Ming Jian's arms with a butt, and said: "The official family, Brother Wang is a liar, he said that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is a scholar with a literary temperament, and the concubine seems to be a heroic family, and he is a generation of heroes!" No wonder the official family was able to defeat the golden dog, the concubine heard that the official family personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and the concubine was really admired! ”

"Hahahaha!"

The audience burst into laughter.
