The past between Xiao Linglong and Yelu Dashi was well known to Bai Xu, so Chu Tianya was not afraid to talk about it in front of him. Bai Xu also smiled when he heard it, and said: "Lord, whether it is Li Qianshun of Western Xia or Yelu Dashi of Western Liao, they are all old oilers who have been boiling for many years, as long as they can get benefits, it is normal to have no skin and no face." At present, the most important thing for us is not how to make peace and cooperate with these two countries, but how to deal with the 300,000 troops of Wanyan Zonghan on the north bank of the Yellow River. ”

"Disposition?" Chu Tianya smiled when he heard this, "Jingqian, when did you become so arrogant?" In the battle of Wutong Plain, I was lucky to win. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the 300,000 army under the command of Yan Zonghan is not idle? The word 'disposition' is so terrified to me! ”

Bai Xu smiled confidently, "Since the lord can defeat Yan Zongwang's 400,000 Jin Kingdom main force, he will naturally be able to defeat Yan Zonghan." There is nothing wrong with disposing of it. ”

"Huh?" Chu Tianya couldn't understand Bai Xu anymore, and when he heard the white-haired fox say this, he knew that he already had a strategy to break the enemy in his heart, so he was secretly happy in his heart and asked, "What will you do?" ”

"If the lord trusts me, please give me one." Bai Xu said mysteriously, "If you get this person, within half a year, you will be able to finish Yan Zonghan's piece of armor!" ”

Chu Tianya raised his eyebrows, "Half a year? Do you want me to stall for time in the peace talks and keep Wanyan Zonghan in Hedong and not let him go? ”

"Yes."

"Say, Who do you want?"

The corners of Bai Xu's lips on both sides rose together, revealing a very treacherous smile, "This person has just fallen into the hands of the lord." ”

"Shi Liai?"

"Exactly!"

Chu Tianya smiled, "You white-haired little fox, but you have the idea of loving that old fox from Shi Li." Having said that, if you two foxes can cooperate sincerely, Wanyan Zonghan will definitely be sold by you, and he is still helping to count the money! ”

"Xiao Sheng believes that the lord will definitely have a way to subdue Shi Liai, this old fox." Bai Xu smiled and said, "If you get the help of this person, it will be easy to break Zonghan!" ”

"Okay, I'll figure it out, and I'll give this person to you!" Chu Tianya said with a smile, "I will leave the matter here in Luoyang to you to deal with." I will try to send Shi Liai to you in good condition within a month. I don't care what I'm going to do when the time comes. In short, I remember your promise - within half a year, Wanyan Zonghan and the 300,000 troops under his command will be wiped out! ”

"Wait, lord!" Bai Xu hurriedly said, "If you want to do this, you have to work hard from the Western Xia Kingdom!" ”

"I know what you mean." Chu Tianya said, "Wanyan Zonghan is not a dead man, he sensed that something was wrong and wanted to escape." If the Tangut cut off his return route from the flank, and if Yelu Dashi bypassed the desert and attacked the land of Yunzhong and Youyan to make the Jin Kingdom suffer from the enemy, he could achieve great things, right? ”

"The lord is wise!" Bai Xu bowed down, "If you want to break the gold, only at this time!" -- Western Liao and Western Xia can both be leveraged. Such a major event is decided by the lord and the father-in-law. Xiaosheng and all the soldiers, willing to share the worries of the Lord on the battlefield! ”

"Okay, I got it." Chu Tianya took a deep breath and nodded, "I will be cautious about the Three Kingdoms Alliance this time!" ”

Bai Xu nodded with a smile, "Presumably, the lord himself has already prepared for the Northern Expedition." The second brother was seriously injured and could not bear the army. The lord's newly promoted general, Yue Fei, is he preparing for the Northern Expedition? ”

"Those who know me, respect and humility!" Chu Tianya laughed, he knew that his thoughts were not a secret in Bai Xu, who knew the way well, so he said, "Originally, I had to personally supervise the Northern Expedition." However, at the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a great change, and the court was unstable, so I had to stay in Tokyo to preside over the overall situation. Originally, among the 200,000 troops in Wutong Plain, the only one who could be responsible was Second Brother Jiao, but he was seriously injured. So I boldly activated Yue Fei - I hope he won't let me down! ”

Bai Xu's brows twisted slightly, "The lord has always had the ability to recognize people, and his vision must not be bad." But Yue Fei is young and unqualified after all; If you want him to stand alone, you still need two veterans to assist him. ”

"Nope. I just want to let Yue Fei play as freely as possible, so that he can make contributions unrestrained. Chu Tianya said categorically, "Actually, I originally had such an idea. Originally, I wanted to transfer you to Wutong Yuan to assist Yue Fei, and then send the veteran Zong Ze to lead his troops to join the expedition. Later, I thought about it, if you and Zong Ze are here, Yue Fei will definitely be afraid to show it. Since I have chosen Yue Fei, I must fully trust him. I trust my own judgment and he will be able to do it! ”

Bai Xu took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "Since the lord has made up his mind, Xiao Sheng won't say more-then, it is estimated that it won't be long before our army will launch a war against the Jin State in Luoyang and Hebei." At that time, Western Xia and Western Liao will also launch counteroffensives against the Jurchens from different directions. This will be a battle of the vast kingdom that will engulf Kyushu...... My lord, we only have half a year to prepare at most! And within half a year, it is not known whether the army of Western Liao will be able to cross the Tianshan Mountains and cross the desert! ”

"It's really difficult. And in the battle with the Jin country, there will be a lot of suspense about the outcome of the battle. Chu Tianya let out a long breath, "In short, we must prepare as properly as possible, and never fight an unprepared battle!" -- Jin Guo can't afford to lose, and we can't afford to lose either! ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Chu Tianya consulted with Bai Xu for a long time, but before he realized that it was nightfall, Xiao Linglong had just returned.

"How does it feel to be reunited?" When Chu Tianya was having dinner with her, he asked.

Xiao Linglong was obviously preoccupied, and nodded with a slight twist, but just "hmm".

"Looks like your sister told you a lot." Chu Tianya smiled slightly and said, "Can you tell me?" ”

Xiao Linglong's chopsticks on her lips stopped, hesitated, put down the chopsticks, and said, "Tianya, you have to believe me - I must be on your side!" ”

"I believe it." Chu Tianya smiled, "It is precisely because I believe in you that I came to ask you openly and honestly." Say, what did she tell you to convey? ”

"They...... I want to borrow some food for soldiers and horses. Xiao Linglong frowned and said, "I didn't agree." I told her that I would never be able to do such things, and I was not at all sure that I would be able to move you. And then...... She was a little disappointed. ”

"It's human nature." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Since Yelu Dashi sent Xiao Ta Buyan to be an envoy, he actually took on the role of a lobbyist. He has just established himself in the Western Regions, his wings are not abundant, his strength is not strong, and he finally got a brother-in-law with many soldiers, generals, and stupid people and a lot of money, how can he not move his mind? ”

"Tianya, I'm angry if you say that again!" Xiao Linglong turned her face flat, "What do you mean by 'people are stupid and have a lot of money', it's really, it's really ugly!" ”

"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed, "Don't be angry, I'm talking about playing!" You're pregnant, but don't move your liver. It's not good to hurt my baby. ”

"Do you know that you still use this kind of language to stimulate me, for fear that you won't kill me?" Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya hatefully, "In short, I rejected this matter with a clear attitude!" In the future, there is no need to mention it! ”

"Refusal? Why refuse? Chu Tianya said mysteriously.

Xiao Linglong was stunned, "If you don't refuse, what else can you do?" ――Could it be that you really lent him money, food, soldiers, and horses? ”

"Don't say it, I'm really likely to borrow it!" Chu Tianya said with a smile.

Xiao Linglong obviously didn't believe it at all, and rolled Chu Tianya's eyes with disdain, "You know that you are talking nonsense in front of me and treating me as a three-year-old child!" ”

"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed, "I really didn't tease you—it's true!" ”

Xiao Linglong's face was stunned, "Why?" Do you want to sue me because of me? ”

"There's a little bit of that. No matter what, Xiao Ta Buyan is your own sister, I can't let her go back empty-handed, it will hurt her face too much. Chu Tianya smiled mysteriously, "Of course, it's not all about this. I, naturally, have my considerations. ”

Xiao Linglong looked at Chu Tianya and glared at him angrily, "Is there anything you can't tell me?" ”

Chu Tianya raised his hand with a wicked smile and pointed his finger, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”

"You hate it!"

"Okay, don't make trouble, eat first!" Chu Tianya smiled and put vegetables in her bowl, "Later, you send someone to quietly invite your sister from the post house." I'm going to have a secret conversation with her. ”

"What do you want to do in the middle of the night?!" Xiao Linglong's sword eyebrows erected in annoyance and shame, "I haven't settled accounts with you about last night!" ”

"Ahem, ahem, where did you think of it?" Chu Tianya hurriedly shook his chopsticks, "Secret talk, secret talk - state and military affairs, that's it!" ”

"Chu Tianya, I sue you, if you dare to beat my sister's idea, I! ......" Xiao Linglong's face turned red, "I will never spare you!" ”

"What words!" Chu Tianya turned his face blank, "Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, am I that kind of person?" - Besides, your sister is the mother of the Western Liao country, can I make an enemy of a country for the sake of a woman, and make the world laugh? ”

"Hmph, you'd better think so in your heart!" Xiao Linglong was very annoyed, and she was about to be angry, "If you do anything wrong, I, I ......"

"What are you going to do?" Chu Tianya's hippie smile.

"I castrated you!" Xiao Linglong blushed and scolded.

"Are you willing?"

"Hooligans!"

……

After dinner, Xiao Linglong finally invited Xiao Ta Buyan to her house secretly from the pavilion and invited her into her boudoir. The sisters talked about their old feelings and chatted about some family things, and Xiao Linglong said: "Sister, in fact, tonight, it was Tianya who asked me to invite you here." And he said, There is a secret matter to be consulted with thee. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Ta raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Secret talk? ”

Xiao Linglong was also a little crying and laughing, "Sister, don't mind." He's such a character, casual and sloppy, he doesn't follow the rules in everything, and he does everything with a mysterious head and a mysterious brain, and even I don't know what his idea is. ”

Xiao Ta Buyan's face turned a little red when he heard the last sentence, but he just nodded silently and didn't say much.

Xiao Linglong looked at her expression, and was immediately embarrassed, "Sister, don't get me wrong, I'm not ...... That means. ”

Xiao Ta smiled gracefully, "Which means?" ”

Xiao Linglong's expression froze, and she smiled bitterly, "It's really getting darker and darker, I'll take you to his study, he must have been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

Xiao Ta took a deep breath, as if to give himself courage, and smiled slightly, "Then let's go!" ”
