In this battle of Song and Xia, it is inevitable that the whole body will be affected. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the situation in the northwest was so complicated that in addition to the Tibetan and Western Xia, the Liao State also had great power and far-reaching influence here, and was an important political and military force in the region.

If it is purely based on military strength, the most powerful power in East Asia at that time may be the Liao State of the Khitans.

Although the strength of the Song army is not weak, because of the system problem of the Zhao Emperor's defense of the warriors, especially in order to check and balance, the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is really limited. There were many problems in the battle, and many of them were not enough, and the results of the specific battles were also at a disadvantage, and there were countless examples of battles, such as the defeat of Emperor Taizong's morale at the Gaoliang River......

As a result, the Northern Song Dynasty has always been very poor in terms of external affairs, and the name of poverty and weakness has never changed.

It is impossible for Liao not to know that such a big thing has happened in the northwest, and even if it is not directly implicated, it still has influence and interests. The countries of the East have been mutually restrictive, using and containing each other, maintaining a balance that seems to be somewhat deformed. Regardless of which side has gone wrong, this check and balance is not completely out of balance, but at least it is inevitable that it will waver.

The Liao State was very powerful, and even initially tried to destroy the Song Dynasty and then dominate the world, but in fact it did not succeed. As early as the Yelu Deguang period, the Liao State destroyed the Later Jin Shi Jingjiao, occupied the Central Plains, and even entered Bianjing, but finally retreated.

As for the reason, one is that the Central Plains is not so important to the nomadic Khitans, in the words of the Khitans. Although it's good here. But there is no grassland. Naturally, the attraction is weaker. Second, the Khitan did not have enough strength to control the Central Plains, and Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty had already raised troops to Hedong, and Yelu Deguang had no choice but to retreat in order to avoid trouble.

Later, Song Taizong was bent on recovering the sixteen states of Youyun, and the army went on a northern expedition, and finally fought the Gaoliang River, because of some strategic mistakes of Song Taizong. and the poor coordination between the subordinates and generals. The final failure is embarrassing and has become a regrettable thing for the ages. More than 100,000 troops died under the city of Youzhou, and Song Taizong himself was also hit by an arrow, and the general Yang Ye died on the battlefield, leaving behind the legend of the Yang family general that has been recited through the ages.

During the reign of Zhenzong, Xiao Xuan, the empress dowager of Liao, and Yelu Longxu, the emperor of Shengzong, also led a large army to the south, which had reached the bank of the Yellow River and threatened Bianjing. However, in the first battle of Lanzhou, Song Zhenzong drove the expedition with the support of Kou Zhun. The morale was greatly boosted and the Liao army was stopped. Outcome. There was a relative parity between the two sides. The Liao State had no strength to destroy the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was unable to regain its strength, and neither side could help anyone, so in the end they could only negotiate peace and understand and sign the Yuanyuan Alliance. The Song Dynasty bought peace by giving New Year's coins, which was commensurate with the Liao State as a brotherly country, and maintained a relatively peaceful situation. However, it was the Song Dynasty that suffered the loss, and the Liao State was relatively in an advantageous position, at least every year for no reason.

As a result, the Liao State established its position as the largest power in the East, and its influence was also greater. Because of its remote location, Tibet's strength was relatively weak, and it did not participate in many struggles and entanglements of interests in the wars of various countries. Although they are the fourth largest country in strength, they have always regarded themselves as the fourth largest country in the East. But in the end, because the frequency of participating in major events is too small, it is not on the top of the list.

However, the relationship between the Song, Liao, and Western Xia powers was more complicated.

The three kingdoms attacked each other, but relatively speaking, it was the Song Dynasty that was at a disadvantage or had more wars. Although there were wars and disputes between Liao and Western Xia, they were a minority after all. Both countries were in hostile relations with the Song Dynasty, and there were often wars. The most obvious reason is that the Central Plains and Jiangnan of the Song Dynasty were rich and prosperous, which made the grassland nomads jealous and wanted to take advantage of the war by means of war.

Relatively speaking, the relationship between the Liao State and the Western Xia was not bad, at least in a relatively stable state. Because the Liao State needed a strong Western Xia to contain the Song Dynasty, you must know that relatively speaking, the first border trouble of the Northern Song Dynasty was the Western Xia, and the harm caused to the Song Dynasty by the Dangxiang people far exceeded that of the Khitans.

Relatively speaking, the number of battles in the Song-Xia War was also more, because the existence of Western Xia almost restrained half of the Song Dynasty's troops, as well as a large number of manpower and material resources. In other words, if there was no Western Xia, the Song Dynasty would have been able to free up its hands and accumulate all its strength to deal with the Liao State.

Once the Song Dynasty occupied the northwest and got the land to raise horses, the combat effectiveness of the Song army would also be greatly increased. In this way, the Song Dynasty's strength against the Liao State would more than triple, which was definitely unbearable for the Liao State. They were already evenly matched with each other, and the Liao State had a slight upper hand, so it was not very able to withstand the toss.

Moreover, without the great trouble of Western Xia, the eyes of the people of the Song Dynasty will be firmly fixed on the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, which is a great shame for the people of the Central Plains. You must know that most of the north of Yanshan is grassland and mountain, relatively speaking, the place where the sixteen states of Youyun are located is a plain, which is a rich agricultural area, and it is also a relatively prosperous place in Liaoguo. To tell the truth, if the Khitan hadn't gotten the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, their strength would definitely not have grown so quickly. Once lost, a large part of the strength will inevitably be lost. Between one gain and one loss, there are not a few who turn from strong to weak.

It is no exaggeration to say that the so-called Youzhou of Nanjing by the Liao people has surpassed their original capital, Shangjing, with a comparable population and a more prosperous city and commerce. Yanshan is a barrier, but also a sharp knife, a basin of boiling water hanging above the head of the Song Dynasty, is the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty, the Liao State must be held tightly in the hand, so the Liao people are absolutely unwilling to give up the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun no matter what.

In addition to absolute force to defend the defense, the best way is to let the Song Dynasty have no time to take care of it. Therefore, the existence of Western Xia is a good thing for the Liao State, and it is the largest and most effective containment of the Song Dynasty. It is precisely for this reason that they also deliberately supported Western Xia at some times. Once the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia became tense, the Liao State would canonize the Western Xia lord and show solidarity.

There was no shortage of people of insight in the Song Dynasty, who had already seen the problem and proposed a solution to the problem. For example, Wang Anshi decided that if he wanted to defeat the Liao State, he had to defeat the Western Xia and cut off his right arm. Of course, we need to start from Hehuang and Tibet......

Wang Xianggong, who wanted to restore the old territory of the Han and Tang dynasties, had already seen through the problem. It has also really begun to be resolved......

Of course. Some people may say that if the Liao State directly occupied the Hetao where the Western Xia was located, its strength would be even stronger, and it would become a superpower that traverses the east and west and dominates the north. In this way, the Song Dynasty was forced in all directions, at least in terms of Song Liao operations, it must be more powerful and occupy the overall initiative.

However, things are never as easy as imagined, and there are many times when there are many surprises.

Lord Liao is also very clear. Xixia itself is a fierce and brave northwest wolf, with hundreds of thousands of armored warriors in China, and most of them are elites with strong combat effectiveness. What's more, the Li clan has been operating in the northwest for hundreds of years, from the initial Dingyan Five Prefectures to the current Western Xia Kingdom, which has a territory of thousands of miles, it can be said that it has a deep foundation.

If you want to swallow it, you have to pay a very heavy price, and it is difficult to say whether it will succeed or not. It is very likely that you will not be able to eat meat, and you may still get a fishy smell, and no one wants to do anything like losing your wife and soldiers.

Lack of strength and inability to do it is one thing, not to mention that the Song Dynasty will never allow such a situation. The Liao State is self-aware and does not want to do such an uneconomical thing. Therefore, the Liao lords of all dynasties. I have never had such an irrational thought. The three countries have been fighting each other and restraining each other, and this situation has always been maintained.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu was very similar. It's just that the strength of the Liao State is not at all at the level of the Wei State back then, so some things are destined to have no thoughts.

For their part, the Western Xia had a naturally hostile relationship with the Song dynasty. If the Tangut people want to be independent, it is not possible to completely break away from the Song Dynasty in name, and the stubborn and face-loving Song Dynasty scholars will never agree, which is the most fundamental contradiction. Li Yuanhao tried to do this back then, but it ended in failure.

Even though the Song Dynasty acquiesced in the de facto independence of the Western Xia, many times due to conflicts of interest and economic reasons, friction continued, and war was inevitable.

The military strength of the Western Xia seems to be strong, and the army is very elite, but in the end it is only a small country in the northwest border, and it cannot be compared with the Song Dynasty in terms of national strength. In such a situation, it would be very difficult for the Western Xia to simply rely on their own strength to fight against the Song Dynasty, and no matter what the considerations, it was always right to maintain a relatively stable relationship with the Song Dynasty.

Of course, when the relationship between the Song Dynasty was not harmonious, it was necessary to accept the canonization of the Liao State and maintain a cooperative relationship with it. Even Li Yuanhao had his last words when he was dying, if Western Xia wanted to exist in peace, he had to get the canonization of Song and Liao and maintain good relations with the two countries. To put it bluntly, Western Xia, like Hehuang and Tubo, also wanted to meet the source between Song and Liao.

Li Yuanhao has been strong all his life, directly ascended the throne as the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and fought all his life, which can be described as very strong. In the end, it is a lesson of blood. Li Liangzuo, who ascended the throne later, was young and experienced the rebellion of not hiding the false Pang, and the current emperor Li Bingchang is also a little baby. The two monarchs of Western Xia were young and destined to be far inferior in strength to Li Yuanhao, so the national policy has not changed.

In this situation of the "chaotic" war of the Three Kingdoms, the difference is that the strength of the Western Xia itself is stronger, so in this process, the autonomy is also stronger, and more benefits can be obtained, and the dependence on either side is not too high.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This time, the Western Xia sent troops to fight against the Song Dynasty and did not take the initiative to inform the Liao State.

After all, they had just accepted the canonization of the emperor of the Song Dynasty not long ago, which was equivalent to turning their backs on the Liao State, although this kind of thing was common and very common. But once it happens, it does damage the face of Liaoguo, which is a little embarrassing.

Because of the short time, the Song and Xia conflicts again, and the Western Xia did not have time to ease relations with the Liao State, so they had to offend the two major suzerains at the same time. Western Xia was also helpless, so he could only suffer a dumb loss for the time being, and did not take the initiative to inform Liao. In fact, for them, it was a good strategy to ask the Liao State to respond from the eastern front, but now they can't open their mouths anyway.

After all, it was just a formality, no matter whether the Western Xia informed it or not, the Liao State must know the news, and has been paying attention to the development and changes of the situation.

In Youzhou City, Yelu Yixin stood at the head of the city, looked to the south, and said softly: "The beautiful mountains and rivers of the Southern Dynasties, how good!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao is thinking that one day in the future, my Khitan iron horse will go south to drink the Yellow River?" A man behind him asked in a deep voice.

Yelu Yixin did not look back, but silently stared to the south. He said softly, "It's just me. Come to think of it, all aspiring Daliao warriors have such thoughts. But what's the use of what we think? Your Majesty has no mind, everything is in vain. ”

After finishing speaking, Yelu Yixin sighed lightly, as if he was very disappointed, and there was something indescribable in his eyes, which was very complicated.

The man behind him said in a low voice: "Yes, Your Majesty only cares about hunting with bowls, where is the majestic plan of the Holy Emperor Emperor?" If it weren't for His Royal Highness King Zhao. I'm afraid that the government is going to be a mess, and when Emperor Renzong of the Southern Dynasty was there, His Majesty still saluted well, which was really a rare harmony! It sounds like a compliment, but when you think about it carefully, there is a sour feeling, obviously saying the opposite, and there is a lot of dissatisfaction.

The corners of Yelu Yixin's mouth twitched, and he smiled faintly: "It's a coincidence, it's really interesting, it's rare that the emperors of both countries are so merciful." It's really rare in a hundred years! But I heard that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty and the current emperor, Zhao Ji, is very restless! ”

"The Southern Dynasty seems to have produced a good seedling...... But. Let him toss it, Zhao Guangyi was defeated back then, what can he do? The emperor of the Southern Dynasty is not as good as the next generation...... Hum! It is a fool's dream for the Southern Dynasty to win over the Great Song Dynasty! The people behind him obviously didn't take Zhao Ji seriously, but they didn't know if the bend was because of the arrogance of the hostile relationship, or if they were justifiably not optimistic.

Yelu Yixin was silent for a moment, and said softly: "We also have a good seedling in the Great Liao Kingdom!" ”

The person behind him knew very well what their Lord Zhao meant.

Yelu Yixin came south to Youzhou this time for a mission, in order to accompany the crown prince Yelu Jun to inspect Nanjing. Yelujun is thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is now more talented and intelligent, and his performance is very good, both courage and strategy are much stronger than Yeluhongji.

At present, the Liao State is unanimously optimistic about Yelu Jun, and believes that the crown prince will be the lord of Zhongxing in the Liao State, and can even be comparable to the Holy Sect Yelu Longxu. It stands to reason that this is a good thing, but Jeruyisin is not happy at all.

Yelu Hongji is hunting outside, and he has no intention of political affairs, and Yelu Yixin, the king of Zhao, who is an auxiliary minister, has become the No. 1 real power figure in Liao, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people. Power is a magical thing, how can you be willing to give up so easily once you come into contact with it?

Yelu Yixin is enjoying this feeling very much now, and he is not willing to let go at all, and he does not want his power to be damaged in the slightest. But the crown prince Yelujun gradually grew up, performed very well, and began to gradually participate in political affairs. First of all, in this way, the power of Ta Yelu Yixin must be divided a lot, and its importance is decreasing, and the era of monopoly may pass.

Second, Yelujun's views are different from his own in many aspects, which makes it difficult for him to do, and the situation is becoming more and more difficult. Yelu Jun's attitude towards him was not good, and it vaguely made Yelu Yixin feel a sense of danger. It is very dangerous to compete for power with the future prince, and once the future prince ascends to the throne, he will undoubtedly be a danger to the imperial power. What's more, Yelujun doesn't have a good attitude towards himself, and even has a little disgust.

This is even more terrifying, Yelu Yixin, who is obsessed with power, is very afraid, very afraid of the day when the prince grows up. Although he deliberately wanted to have a good relationship with Yelujun, the results seemed to be mediocre, and there was not much progress.

This time, Yelu Hongji intended to let his son come out to see the splendid mountains and rivers of the Liao Kingdom and experience some training, so he let him come to Youzhou, Nanjing. When the crown prince goes on patrol, there must be a responsible minister by his side, and Yelu Yixin is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate. It just so happens that he himself also wants to take this opportunity to get in touch with Yelu Jun more, and make an effort to ease the relationship with each other's crowns, if success is naturally happy, if it fails, then ...... I have to think of another way!

In the distance, a young man's shout was heard in the distance, and Yelu Yixin turned around, only to see a young man with a little girl, trotting with a smile. It was Yelujun, who went out to see the experience, and his little sister Yelutri.

It stands to reason that Jerutri cannot accompany him when he is away from home. However, he is the favorite daughter of the Liao lord Yelu Hongji and the queen Xiao Guanyin, and he has repeatedly begged, but it is not easy to refuse.

Nominally, it's knowledge, but in fact, it's just a tour of the mountains and rivers, in that case, what's the harm in bringing the princess? No, the prince just took the princess sister to walk around the city wall.

At this time, Yelujun's youthful heart was undoubtedly revealed, and he couldn't tell that he was the smart and clever young prince at all. If only it had been like this. Yelu Yixin watched. There was a little more helplessness in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. Princess, have you had fun? Yelu Yixin stepped forward to ask, the etiquette was barely in place, but there was no respect. One is because Yelu Yixin has his own ideas, and the other is that it is King Zhao, and the prince also has to call Uncle Wang, as an elder with a respected status, it is understandable to be arrogant.

Yelujun glanced at it lightly. A strange look flashed in his eyes. Yelutri, the princess who is getting older but still a little innocent, said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, you have a lot of fun, Nanjing is much more interesting than Beijing!" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what about you?" Yelu Yixin's meaning is a bit of a school test.

Yelujun was silent for a moment, looked up at the mountains and the earth in the distance, and said softly: "Youzhou is a good place, Yanshan behind it, Hebei in the south, and connecting the east and west." It's a great place, and it's a great place to be. No wonder the Song people have always wanted to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. I didn't expect it to be a treasure. ”

Hearing this, Yelu Yixin's eyes moved, he was really an excellent prince! When you go out, the first thing is not to play, but to observe. At the age of twelve or thirteen, it is really amazing to be able to see the extraordinary geographical location of Youzhou.

"Not bad, not bad!" Even if he had any thoughts in his heart, Yelu Yixin said: "The prince can summarize it and give it to His Majesty ......"

"Okay!"

"Then what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think of the land on the other side?" Yelu Yixin suddenly had a whim, pointed to Tubo in the south and asked in a deep voice. He really wanted to know what Yelujun's attitude was towards the Song Dynasty.

"Southern Dynasty?!" Yelujun looked at the vast wilderness in the south, his eyes were a little confused for a while, and he couldn't answer. As for the reason, I don't know if it's because he's so young, or because he has some concerns, or because of his difficulties, in short, he didn't say a word.

The atmosphere at the scene was slightly awkward, but was interrupted by the little princess Yelutri, who only heard her say: "The queen mother said, it's better not to fight and kill, it's good for the people of Song and Liao." ”

Is that what Jerujun thinks? It was not clear why, but Yelu Yixin suddenly realized something. Yelujun is very good, but after all, he is still very young, and many of his thoughts or beliefs are influenced by others. It is exactly what Yelutri said that can have such a great subtle impact on Yelujun...... There is only Queen Xiao Guanyin.

Suddenly, Yelu Yixin realized that there seemed to be another stumbling block on the way to retaining his monstrous power!

Queen Xiao Guanyin, a rare beauty, is also a talented woman, especially in poetry and songs. It is precisely because of this that she admires the culture of the Southern Dynasties very much, and her feelings for the puppets of the Southern Dynasties have naturally changed slightly......

If it's an ordinary woman, it's fine, so there's nothing wrong with that. However, her identity is the queen, and this action has inevitably caused many adverse effects, such as driving the Han family in the Liao State to become more and more popular. At the same time, as the biological mother of the crown prince, the subtle influence on Yelujun is self-evident.

At the same time, Yelu Yixin had a feeling that the queen always looked at her strangely, unfriendly and a little hostile. Could it be that he saw his threat to Yelujun? Yelu Hongji didn't care, but the queen noticed that this was not a good thing.

In the future, Yelu Hongji is dead, Xiao Guanyin is the queen mother, the queen mother of Liao is not just a name, the power is very great, do you still have a good life?

There is also Yelujun's attitude towards himself, which may also be influenced by Xiao Guanyin. Therefore, all of a sudden, Yelu Yixin felt that the opponent who needed the most attention at present might not be Yelu Jun, but the queen Xiao Guanyin.

It turned out to be a woman, Yelu Yixin couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart!

Yelujun, who had been silent for a long time, waved his hand and said: "The Southern Dynasty is good, but if you want to raise troops to go south, you have to consider the actual situation. When the Empress Dowager Chengtian and Emperor Shengzong drove in person, they finally returned in vain.

However, the Northern Song Dynasty had a large number of soldiers and many ponds on the border to prevent our iron cavalry from going south. Therefore, without complete certainty, it is irrational to rashly raise troops to the south. ”

Yelu Yixin once again felt that he had underestimated the young prince, he was not completely influenced by Xiao Guanyin, but had his own opinions, and seemed to be more cautious. This is completely different from Yeluhongji's careless and rough character, but the more cautious people are, the more suspicious and suspicious they are!

Troublesome. What a hassle!

"Don't worry about it. There are no mountains to keep you in. The Song Dynasty's defense line was relatively fragile, and it was not too difficult to break through. Yelu Yixin said: "If the Song Dynasty goes all out, we will be under great pressure, but now that the Song Dynasty is at war with the Western Xia, it is inevitable that things cannot take care of each other, this is a good opportunity for us!" ”

Yelutri's big eyes kept turning, and finally looked at Yelu Yixin and asked, "Is Uncle Wang taking the imperial brother exam?" ”

Yelu Yixin just smiled lightly. did not answer.

"Hehe, although the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty are at war, the war has just begun, and the outcome is unknown." Yelu Jun said: "If the Western Xia is defeated by the Song Dynasty, then the Song army will come to resist us with the aftermath of the great victory in the northwest, I am afraid that it will be thankless!" ”

"Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince optimistic about Western Xia?"

"It's hard to say, but Xixia rashly sent troops, and they didn't take advantage of it in the autumn of last year, and they fought again in the spring. The result? Yelu Jun said: "Liang Yi's practice of burying his sister and brother...... Hum...... Let's look at it first, I'm afraid they won't take too much advantage of the northwest. Again. If Liang Yi had a prophet who had told us, it would have been enough for the two families to cooperate in sending troops. But if we send troops at this moment, wouldn't it be cheaper for Western Xia? In the end, I couldn't please myself, and I cheapened Xixia for nothing! ”

Obviously, the Liao State was somewhat dissatisfied with the matter of Western Xia's betrayal of Liao and Song Dynasty.

Yelu Yixin said with a smile: "Although the outcome of the battle is still unknown, there is already news today that the Western Xia army is storming Dashun City, and Gyeongju is only afraid that it is in danger!" And from the beginning of the war to the present, Western Xia has always had the upper hand! ”

"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and it doesn't make sense to be shorter than a while, even if the Western Xia army storms Dashun City, it will only count if it is captured!" Ye Lujun seemed to remember something, and said with a smile, "Last year, Xixia attacked Dashun City once, but it ended in failure, I heard that the guards of Dashun City have not been replaced this time!" ”

Belch! Yelu Yixin has already been, he did not inform Yelu Jun about the war in the Northern Song and Northern Song Dynasty, but the crown prince knew about the guards of Dashun City, which means that he has another source? But I don't know it, and this is definitely a pretty scary thing. Yelu Yixin became more and more worried, the prince's strength is extraordinary, and he seems to be guarding himself everywhere, which is definitely not a good thing!

Yelu Yixin forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and finally said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is good, the guards of Dashun City are still Lin Zhao and Jing Sili. ”

Lin Zhao?

Hearing this name, the little princess Yerutri's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked in surprise: "But that year, he sent an envoy to my country and saved the queen mother and my envoy of the Song Dynasty?" ”

"That's right, it's him!"

"Is he okay? I heard that he committed a crime and went to prison last year, and he was going to be beheaded? "The little princess once heard the envoy of the Song Dynasty He Zhengdan mention this matter last year, but it scared the little princess a lot at that time.

The little princess can always remember that on the edge of the Liao River that year, Lin Zhao's handsome and resolute face, literary style, and warm embrace. If it weren't for Lin Zhao, their mother and daughter might have died at the hands of the rebels. Yelutri was very grateful in his heart, and he had a very special feeling for Lin Zhao in his young heart.

There is also a special concern, from time to time I want to know the news of Lin Zhao, and at the same time, I have been deeply looking forward to when I can see each other.

On weekdays, as long as I hear the slightest news, I will be very excited. At the same time, her mother Xiao Guanyin seemed to be the same, but in addition to excitement, there was also a trace of inexplicable shyness and worry.

Yelu Yixin said: "Oh, Lin Zhao was later acquitted, it is said that he was framed by Li Fugui, the governor of Gyeongju in the Song Dynasty. ”

His Royal Highness King Zhao didn't care too much about Lin Zhao, they didn't have much contact with each other, and in his opinion, Lin Zhao's actions in the Liao State were just a matter of words. As for participating in the pacification of Xiao Hujian's rebellion, it is completely a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. He didn't know that the reason why Xiao Guanyin was so jealous of him was entirely because of Lin Zhao's words.

"This kid is kind of interesting!" Yelujun came out coldly, especially when he was younger, and it was inevitably funny to say such a thing. He also paid attention to Lin Zhao, and had contacts with each other when they were in Liaodong. The little white dragon under Lin Zhao's seat was a gift from him. They were still rivals for a time, but because Lin Zhao saved his mother and sister, their attitude naturally changed.

But I don't know why, Ye Lujun has a very special feeling in his heart, as if this Lin Zhao is his natural opponent. At first, Lin Zhao stayed away from the Liao Kingdom, and he didn't care when he returned to the Song Dynasty, but as Lin Zhao's series of actions in the Song Dynasty spread, Yelujun paid more attention.

The princess of the Liao Kingdom in Tubo has sent a message back to inform them of what happened in Qingtang City last year, a young man who can make Tubo Zanpu jealous and the Western Xia Kingdom deflated, must not be underestimated. Maybe one day, Lin Zhao will be a strong opponent, Ye Lujun has a vague feeling in his heart, and even has a little expectation.

"Uncle Wang, you still need to be cautious about the war of the Song Dynasty, and you can't be in a hurry. If you have an idea, you can give your father a recital and let the ministers discuss it. For the sake of today, we are still waiting for the situation in Gyeongju to see what Western Xia can do? If it's a lose-lose situation, there are still a few things to consider. ”

"Yes!" Although Yelujun is only a teenager, he is the prince after all, and Yelujun does not dare to disobey too much. After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how about you let the soldiers and horses of the Five Ministries practice near Youzhou first?" ”

"Good!" Yelujun thought about it and nodded slightly, it seems that this is a very assertive prince.

"Terry, let's go, go back and get some food, and go hunting in the afternoon!" Hearing her brother's shout, the little princess Yelutri came back to her senses, and her mind lingered with the tall and mighty big brother Lin Zhao. (To be continued.) )
