Zhang Li knew that the Song Dynasty would definitely help him, he was a Han Chinese, and he was too familiar with the strategies of the Han people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info When the Song army did not have the ability to march into the grassland, supporting Xiao Tatari was a good choice for the Song Dynasty. It's just that what he doesn't know is what kind of status the Song Dynasty will give Xiao Tatari in the future.

It doesn't matter how bad it is, it's better than the current situation. He just wanted Xiao Tali to live, so that he could see this woman every day, and from the first time he saw Xiao Tatar, he felt that this woman was worth doing something for him.

Zhang Li didn't know what was written on Xiao Tatar's letter to Chen Yuan, in his opinion, it was nothing more than using the relationship between Yelu Ling and the Song Dynasty to get close to the horse master, and ask Chen Shimei to help her.

Chen Shimei has a princess of Liao in her family, this is a well-known thing, Zhang Li gave the letter to Chen Yuan in public, after Chen Yuan opened it and looked at it, his face changed color, and then he put the letter in his arms, his eyes met Di Qing and Wen Yanbo's two questioning eyes, and a trace of an embarrassed smile appeared on his face: "Two, this is also my mother-in-law, she asked me to say a few words for her in the letter." But since her letter came, I had to avoid suspicion. In the opinion below, it would not hurt us to support her now, and I would like to ask you to decide. ”

He undoubtedly admitted the contents of the letter, and took the initiative to avoid suspicion, making Di Qing and Wen Yanbo smile at each other.

Wen Yanbo said: "Chen Yuma doesn't have to care, this official also thinks that there is no harm to us in supporting Xiao Tatari now, so don't avoid it, it's a good thing for us to think of a way." ”

Di Qing looked up at Zhang Li: "Lord Zhang, you also heard what Lord Wen and Master Ma said, but if we support the Liao State, what will you use to assure us that you will not fight with the Great Song Dynasty in the future?" ”

Zhang Li was also very simple, sighed and said: "What do you say, just do it." ”

This is the situation of the Southern Xiongnu at the beginning, after being defeated by the Han Dynasty, there was no capital to negotiate conditions, they came to seek protection, called ministers, offered, listened to the seal, listened to the tune, these are all necessary things. But Chen Yuan thinks that these are still not enough.

Because the Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty for only a few hundred years, and after a few hundred years, the Han Dynasty weakened, and they were the first to step into the Central Plains.

This was also the case not only of Xiao Tatari, but also of other tribes now subject to the Song Dynasty, where the Han Dynasty had also signed treaties with those forces that submitted to him, and the Han Dynasty also sent people to these barbarian states to promote their own culture, teach them to recognize Chinese characters, and read Chinese books.

When the Han was strong, they behaved respectfully, and once the Han lost their strength, they still did not hesitate to wave the weapons in their hands.

This is true of the Great Han, and the same is true of the Qiang Tang.

Some people may say that it is more straightforward to use a knife, but if the Great Song Dynasty uses a knife, the result can only follow in the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty.

The Sui Dynasty was one of the few dynasties in history that was very tough on the outside world, because the Khitans killed a merchant, and the army of the Sui Dynasty was able to start a war and shed the blood of the Khitans. Because the attitude of the Goryeo people was slightly disrespectful, the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goryeo at all costs.

Sounds enjoyable, doesn't it? But if you were in the Sui Dynasty, you wouldn't have a good time. Because there was a war every day, the heavy taxes overwhelmed the common people at all, and the result of the war was that the life span of the Sui Dynasty was far less powerful than that of the Han and Tang dynasties.

Although the common people of the Song Dynasty have brought them infinite benefits because of the wars in recent years, and because the national sentiment of the Song Dynasty is high because of the defeat of the Liao people, if you continue to fight for a long time, they will be the first to oppose it.

Those people who kept sending donations to the front line in the interior of the Song Dynasty shouted, "I would rather die in battle like a hero than live without dignity." "But if you really can't guarantee that they're alive, they won't continue to follow you.

That's what people are.

Chen Yuan knew that his current strengthening of the army, cultural aggression, and economic restraint were just methods used by both the Han and Tang dynasties. Including the old beauty of later generations, it's just these few tricks.

Lao Mei couldn't think of any new tricks, and Chen Yuan couldn't think of it, but he was still thinking about it.

In the past, Chen Yuan despised those emperors who hoped that their rivers and mountains would be forever, but now he knew that in fact, those emperors hoped that what they wanted to be forever was not their own country, but their own merits, and they did not want to see their achievements in the hands of their descendants.

He now also hopes that the Great Song Dynasty will always be strong and prosperous, and these vassal states will always be subjugated in front of the Song Dynasty.

"Lord Zhang, I think so, let's refer to the same treatment given to you by the Goryeo Kingdom now, what do you think?"

What was the treatment of Goryeo? The treatment of the current Goryeo State is to be called a vassal, listen to the title, listen to the tune, and hand over a certain amount of money to the Song Dynasty every year as filial piety. In addition, the ministers of parliament above the court must have Song ministers to hold important positions, and most of the future in the army are also appointed by the Song army.

So what is there like a country other than the name of a country? Zhang Li's heart is very clear.

But he didn't come to ask the Liao State to continue to exist in some form, he came to ask the Song army to help Xiao Tali, so that Xiao Tatari could live. As for the form to live, Zhang Li doesn't care about this.

Moreover, there is no capital to negotiate with the Song Dynasty now.

"Okay, I promise you for the Queen Mother. There are only two things I want to ask the three adults to pay attention to, the first is the current security of the Queen Mother, and the three of them are invited to get along with each other and help the Queen Mother. ”

Zhang Li's face was sad when he said this, Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "Don't worry, we will make a plan immediately and implement it immediately, what is the second question?" ”

"It's our emperor's business. Our emperor is now in Bianjing, and now that the problem between us has been resolved, the ministers believe that the upper court should let our emperor return in order to lead the people who are still loyal to the Great Liao to fight against the rebellion of Yelu Neguru. ”

This problem is not for Chen Yuan and them to decide, if it is an ordinary general, they will let it go, but the other party is the emperor of Liao, and his rank is too high, and he needs Renzong's personal instructions.

Wen Yanbo said: "This, Master Horse, General Di Qing, I see that the three of us will write to the emperor together and explain the reason for this matter, how about it?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhang Li didn't say anything more, things can only be like this, as long as Song Jun is willing to make a move, Xiao Tatari will have a glimmer of life. Zhang Li only hopes that Wen Yanbo and them will be faster now, because now every day may be the boundary between life and death in Xiao Tatar.

Upper Beijing.

Yelune Gollum finally stepped into the gate of Shangjing, he was still in armor, and now he was not yet an emperor.

Xiao Tatari led hundreds of officials at the gate of the city to welcome Yelu Gollu into the city, and the entire people of Shangjing cheered for his arrival. Now they need a hero, a hero like Yelu Abaoji who stands up for their low-grade Song attack.

Yelu Gollum rode on her horse and walked towards Xiao Tatari and the group of Liao ministers behind her. He looks arrogant, but he now has the capital of arrogance.

Although Xiao Tali's face was forced to be calm, Yelu knew that this woman's heart must be very panicked now. This time she personally went out of the city to find herself in the barracks, which really surprised Jermane.

It was a clever ploy, but Jerüne had no intention of playing any tricks with her when she came.

Yerune could kill her at any time, including now, and he could rush up and shoot her to death. No one dares to say anything, and no one will say anything. Those ministers will clean up the aftermath for themselves and list some mortal charges for Xiao Tali.

He didn't do it, he just thought it was too cheap for her! Does this woman think she can forgive her by letting herself into the city? Or was it merciful to let her live? Yelune's purring eyes locked on Xiao Tatari's goal, and a smile floated into the corner of her mouth.

That smile made Xiao Tali's heart feel very scared, but she still tried her best to say in a very calm tone: "Lao Jiu, you are finally willing to enter the city." ”

Yelu Gollum got off the horse and walked in front of Xiao Ta Li, and when Hou Shaye Yelu Hanba and the others next to him were about to say something, Yelu Gollum raised his hand and signaled them not to speak. The officers and men of the three armies who were originally boiling behind them also suddenly quieted down.

"Queen Mother, may I ask how my father died?"

When all the voices died down, Jerone Gollum began to speak. He opened his mouth to ask this question, his voice was very loud, and the ministers around him were speechless, their eyes looked at Xiao Tatar, and some even took two steps back, thinking that they had nothing to do with Xiao Tatar now.

The sergeant who followed behind Yelune also had a fierce look in his eyes, and stared at Xiao Tali with the handle of his gun, as if they were about to kill if Xiao Tatari did not satisfy them.

"The king really died violently, which the palace guards and imperial doctors can testify to, as well as the palace maids that day."

Yelu Ne grunted: "The sauce man I gave to the Queen Mother, don't you know that he is still alive?" ”

The sauce man refers to Yelu Biru. Jeroberu was cut off by Jerune's grunt and put in the jar, and died not long after he returned. Before Xiao Tali could answer, Yelu Ne continued to say, "What he said doesn't seem to be the same as what the Queen Mother said. ”

Xiao Tali shook his head slightly: "I am also your mother, why do you believe the words of a house slave and not believe me?" Yelu Biru was already a person from the Song Dynasty, the last time he was caught by Chen Shimei in the Great Song Dynasty, he also provided our information to the Song army many times in the battle of the Song Dynasty, the king found out his identity, and wanted to catch him, who knew that he ran away first, I really didn't know that he went to you, and said such things. ”

Xiao Tatari didn't believe that Yelu Gollum would confess to herself, and now she had to carry it to the end, because there was still a glimmer of hope in resisting to the end.

Jerüne grunted, "Really? Is that my fault for the Queen Mother? ”
