Speaking of which, Li Yiyin accepted the canonization of the Great Zhou Dynasty as the king of Xiping County and the envoy of Xia Suijie, and was regarded as a minister of the Great Zhou, but everyone in the world knew that he was between the Liao State and the Great Zhou, and he tried to grow stronger.

As soon as he received the notice from the Tiande Army, and now he actually sent his eldest son Li Guangrui to greet him in person, Hant suddenly felt the hope of asking for help, and his heart was very happy. The Liao army officer was a commander in his thirties, stout and stocky, named Wuli, who was in the spring and wore a dogskin hat with two wolf tails hanging from his face. He obviously knew Lee Guangrui, and as soon as they met, he stepped forward to greet him and said something, but Hunter found that he couldn't understand a word.

"Haha...... Distinguished guests from Qingtang, we will definitely become the friendliest brothers, please accept my most sincere greetings and blessings! Lee Kuang-rui, about twenty or thirty years old, came with a few attendants and bowed with his hands to his chest a few steps in front of his horse.

It was said in Chinese, but these Hante understood, and immediately jumped off the horse, bowed down to his chest, and replied loudly: "Thank you Li Yanei!" We Qingtang people feel your sincerity and will definitely offer the most valuable return! ”

"You're welcome! Please come with me into town! The Hunter brothers are visiting Xiazhou for the first time, right? I don't know what to say? Lee greeted politely and tried to introduce the topic.

"Don't dare to be taught! Our Qingtang Qiang people are in danger, presumably Li Yanei heard about it last year, right? "Hunter is not stupid, he didn't show his hole cards first, because inviting people to send troops should be about conditions.

"Hah! Precisely! It is said that the Zhou army has sent troops from Lanzhou at the end of February, crossed the Limen River, and entered the city of Tunhuangshui and Miaochuan. Li Guangrui asked tentatively.

"It's not too late! I came to rescue Xiazhou, and Li Yanei must also know that once the Zhou army takes Qinghai in the west and Huainan in the south, it will be free, and whether it is to attack Liao or enter Xiazhou, there will be no worries. If so, where will Li Yanei go? Hunter calmly said what he had taught him, trying to make the other party feel the crisis first.

"Huh...... The Hunter brothers are alarmist, right? Li Guangrui laughed dryly, but he agreed with Hante's words very much in his heart, but it was not too late to say much for the time being, and it was not too late to talk in detail when the other party said the purpose and sincerity. led Hante and Wuli into the city, and arranged a residence at the State Yayi Inn, and Li Guangrui took his entourage all the way back to Xiping Wangfu, which was not far from the gate of the State Yaxian.

Xiazhou City was originally the Tongwan City built by the Great Xia Helian Bobo in the Wuhu era, the city wall is tall and magnificent, it is still intact after hundreds of years, but the layout of the city is a little messy, it seems that the low and dilapidated houses and courtyards are also inferior to loess, the whole city is basically the color of earth yellow and gray-brown, occasionally see some white flags fluttering in the wind, that is the tone advocated by the party people.

The so-called Xiping Palace, but it is located on a high pedestal, because it is said that this was once the ruins of Helian Bobo's palace, but due to war and natural weathering, the pedestal does not exist one out of ten, and it is very dilapidated, so the current palace is just a big mansion.

Li Guangrui walked through the vestibule and went to the Buddha Hall in the east wing of the atrium compound, where there were only a few domestic slaves, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he didn't see his father. Li Yiyin believed in Buddhism, and in addition to taking care of the military and political affairs of the eight departments of the four states under his rule, he stayed in the Buddhist hall most of the time to chant the scriptures and worship the Buddha.

"Lang Jun just left to leave a word, let Yanai come back and go directly to the back house study." A slave bowed down and preached.

Li Guangrui had no choice but to turn back to the back hall study, push open the door and see that his father was smiling in front of him, sitting cross-legged on the back of a low table with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and when he saw him come in, he raised his hand and pointed to a bunk on the carpet next to him.

"The child has seen his father! Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is conquering the south and west, first capturing Huining and Liangzhou, and now fighting Hehuang, if you take Qinghai and then turn around and attack the land of Xia Sui, what should it be? Li Guangrui pressed his left hand to his chest and bowed, sat down next to him, and said eagerly.

"Not so! The court's capture of Hehuang is mainly for war horses, but it may not attack the land of Xia Sui, so don't worry. It is said that the Tiande army sent people south again, so what happened? Speaking of Liao, Li Yiyin's tone became stern.

"The envoys sent by Qingtang Tubo are not all the way, and some people have gone to the Datong Mansion in Xijing, Liao, and the Wuli of the Tiande Army came to the south to see what we do, so that we can help in advance."

"Humph! How can the Liao people have such good intentions, once they go south, it will not be so easy to send them away, then we have no advantage in maneuvering between the Liao State and the Great Zhou, and we must not do so unless we have to. And the land of Qinghai is too far away from us, do you want to save Zhao from Wei? What's in it for them? The two towns of Yanzhou and Shuofang, the troops are not empty, and this is not a good time. ”

"Father! If we wait for the Zhou army to capture Qinghai, get enough war horses, and form more horse armies, then we have no chance, please think twice! Li Guangrui was anxious, he was inclined to deal with Qingtang Tubo.

"Far water can't save the near fire, not to mention, the strength of the Ganzhou Uighurs is much stronger than ours, when Zhou Junping folded Jiashi, they didn't do anything, why should we force ourselves?" Li Yiyin looked at his son sharply, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, he was still too young to hold his breath in case of trouble, which was not the psychological quality that a strong person should have.

"Father! Shall we miss another opportunity before our eyes? Li Guangrui said very unwillingly.

"Do you think this is an opportunity? In the battle of Huining in the third year of Guangshun, you led the troops to fight, what was the result? Did you keep the Noji's ranch? Li Yiyin asked very unhappily, but he was afraid of hurting his son's positive thoughts, his face softened, and he comforted: "Wait!" There will be a war between the Great Zhou and the Liao State in the future, we just need to watch and grasp the right time. ”

"That'...... How should the child reply to the Wuli and Qingtang envoys of the Tiande Army? Lee Kuang-rui lowered his head, his heart full of frustration.

"The Wuli of the Tiande army must be sent away, and the merchants from Yanzhou, Shuofang and other places must not be seen. As for the Qingtang envoy, he is not in a hurry, and he will see what actions the Liao State has. Li Yiyin thought that even if the Liao State attached importance to the Qingtang envoy, it might not be able to send troops.

Because after Guo Rong ascended the throne, he operated the Hebei border defense for several years, and now it is not as easy as it was back then. In the case of Hedong, it was the territory of Liu Jun of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Liao State needed this deed to enter the Central Plains, so that the Great Zhou could not unify the world. Now that the war in Huainan is in full swing, and Hebei is actually calm, Liao will definitely not be willing to wait and see, so if you look at it this way, Liao may also make some moves.

But even so, his chances are still not big, the eight departments of the party are only a hundred thousand, and if they are recruited in a big way, they can barely recruit 30,000 or 40,000 troops. (To be continued.) )
