Chang'an, after learning that the Jin army's scouting ships had reappeared north of Laizhou Port, Zhao Shuo gave an order. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info 'how much comes, how much is extinguished.' ’

In fact, Zhao Cheng had already gone to Dengzhou at this time, and gathered all the Dengzhou ships to set sail.

His task this time was still to buy grain, and he planned to empty the warehouse of the Li Dynasty all at once.

There were not many ships in Laizhou Port at this time, and Zhao Shuo decided to destroy the Jin army scouting ships that came to investigate the news, with only one purpose, that is, to confuse Yan Wu and beg for purchase.

He wanted to make Wanyan Wu beggars feel that there must be something wrong with Laizhou Port, and then stared at it.

As soon as he finished dealing with the affairs of Jin Guo, Fang Yunsheng, who was serving Zhao Shuo that day, ran in and told Zhao Shuo that an old man had come to visit. This old man is Li Yuanhao.

Li Yuanhao was ordered by Li Qianshun to talk about cooperation with Zhao Shuo.

Knowing that Li Yuanhao was coming, Zhao Shuo shook his head helplessly. He knew very well what Li Yuanhao was here for, nothing more than for food.

But now Zhao Shuo can't take care of the refugees here, so how can he have time to take care of Xixia. But Zhao Shuo's personal relationship with Li Yuanhao is quite good, and if he refuses, Zhao Shuo can't say it.

"Lord, why don't I tell him that the prince is sick and can't see guests?" Seeing that Zhao Shuo didn't speak for a long time, Fang Yunsheng, who knew Zhao Shuo very well, asked softly.

Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "It's late, it's late."

If Li Yuanhao told him that Zhao Shuo was sick and couldn't see guests as soon as he arrived, maybe he would be able to say it. But now, he has come in to report, and then go out to say that Zhao Shuo is sick and can't see guests, this kind of thing, the smart Li Yuanhao can guess at once, Zhao Shuo doesn't want to see him.

Now that Zhao Shuo has established a military alliance with Western Xia, the cooperation will naturally continue to deepen in the future. Therefore, the relationship with Xixia cannot be too stiff.

"Forget it, let him in." Zhao Shuo, who was helpless, scratched his head, and finally decided to meet Li Yuanhao.

Li Yuanhao felt that he had waited for a long time, in fact, it was only about a quarter of an hour, but for just saying goodbye and meeting him, this quarter of an hour was still a bit long.

Li Yuanhao walked into Zhao Shuo's mansion with some apprehension in his arms, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Zhao Shuo running over in a hurry with bare feet.

And behind Zhao Shuo, there was also a woman, who was wearing the service of a maid and was chasing Zhao Shuo with a pair of shoes.

This scene reminded Li Yuanhao of the Three Kingdoms era, when Xu You defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao's performance - barefoot greeting. But Cao Cao walked out of the door with his feet closed, while Zhao Shuo ran to the door with his feet closed to greet him. If you really want to compare, Zhao Shuo has run hundreds of meters more than Cao Cao.

"Oops, forgiveness, forgiveness!" Far away, Zhao Shuo bowed his hand. "I was busy with official business last night, and I was tired today, and I fell asleep on the desk, and the maid didn't dare to wake me up directly out of concern, so I am sorry that Brother Li waited for so long."

Zhao Shuo said sincerely, Li Yuanhao did not doubt him, and hurriedly returned the salute and said. "Brother Zhao is busy with official business, and it is the little brother who is presumptuous, how can Brother Zhao be blamed."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhao Shuo took the boots handed over by Fang Yunsheng, and after putting them on, Zhao Shuo and Li Yuanhao went to the living room holding hands and talking and laughing.

Looking at Zhao Shuo and Li Yuanhao, who had already gone away, Fang Yunshang tilted his head and scratched his head. He couldn't understand why Zhao Shuo didn't want to see Li Yuanhao, so why did he make this show. What a gift it is to greet each other barefoot. Giving it to someone you don't want to see is really incomprehensible.

"Forget it, forget it, anyway, the prince must have his considerations when doing things, why should I worry about this." After thinking about it for a while, Fang Yunsheng, who still hadn't come up with anything, muttered for a while, and then followed.

In the living room, after Zhao Shuo and Li Yuanhao were done, Fang Yunshang also rushed back.

"Yunshang, go make a good pot of tea for Brother Li." As soon as Fang Yunshang entered the door, Zhao Shuo spoke.

Fang Yunshang nodded and saluted, and left quickly.

"Then let Brother Zhao break the bank." After Fang Yunshang left, Li Yuanhao arched his hand and said.

"You and my brother, it's just a pot of tea, so why not break the bank." Zhao Shuo chuckled. "Brother Li came to see me from thousands of miles this time, I don't know if it brought me any good news."

Hearing Zhao Shuo say this, Li Yuanhao laughed a little embarrassed. "I'm afraid, I'll have to disappoint Brother Zhao."

"Oh~!" Zhao Shuo's brows moved slightly. "Could it be that Brother Li is bringing bad news?"

Li Yuanhao was stunned for a moment, thinking about what he said just now, it was indeed a little inappropriate, and he said busily. "No, no, and naturally it can't be bad news."

"Isn't it good news? Not bad news either? Zhao Shuo squinted his eyes and looked at Li Yuanhao. Then I want to hear what news Brother Li brought. ”

"Brother Zhao's exploration agencies are all over the world, presumably if the younger brother doesn't say it, Brother Zhao can guess it." Thinking of Zhao Shuo's presence in Luoyang, what had just happened in the Uighurs of Gaochang for three days could be known, and Li Yuanhao decided to test Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo sighed and shook his head. "Brother Li, what do you think of me Zhao Shuo, the Gaochang Uighurs are military, you and I are personal friends, and I know about the Gaochang Uighurs because the war over there is related to the Western Xia and also to me Zhao Shuo. That's why I'm going to send someone to find out the news. ”

Zhao Shuo got up and came to Li Yuanhao. "Between you and me, it is a friend, a private relationship, and it does not involve national interests. How could I send someone to inquire about this kind of relationship? If I do that, I'm afraid many of my officials will be in danger. ”

What Zhao Shuo said was reasonable, but Li Yuanhao didn't believe it all. He has a good relationship with Zhao Shuo, but after all, the two are the princes of two countries, and they have been hostile before. Although a military alliance has been established, there is still a possibility of conflict between the two sides, and it is normal for the two sides to guard against each other.

"Hehe......" Li Yuanhao got up and chuckled. Brother Zhao, it is the younger brother who spends the belly of Brother Zhao as a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanhao got to the point. "Actually, the younger brother came this time, first, because he hadn't seen Brother Zhao for too long, and he missed it very much. Second, I want to talk to the prince about a deal. ”

Zhao Shuo automatically ignored the things he missed, because he didn't believe in him, so he focused on the second point - talking about business.

"Brother Li wants to talk to me about a deal, but I don't know what a deal." Zhao Shuo asked with a smile.

"Small cannonballs with food." Li Yuanhao put away his smiling face and said very seriously.

"Small shells and food, military and agricultural products." Zhao Shuo scratched his head. "Brother Li, you really have problems with me."

"Lord Wang, after the first battle of Gaochang, the Xia Kingdom has suffered serious losses in troops, and it is difficult to launch a large-scale war again in a short period of time, and even with the current strength, self-preservation is a problem. If Brother Li doesn't care, the Xia Kingdom is likely to be in danger of being destroyed. "After talking about the military crisis, Li Yuanhao said about the food crisis again." The Xia State implemented the military strategy of all the people as soldiers, because of the continuous wars over the years, so the people were incorporated into the wartime establishment, the fields were barren, and the food shortage became more and more serious, and now it has almost reached the point of cannibalism. If Brother Li doesn't care, the civil strife is likely to bring down Great Xia. ”

After saying this, Li Yuanhao breathed a sigh of relief and added. "Actually, the younger brother came this time, saying that he was talking about business, but in fact, he asked Brother Zhao to save Daxia."
