After this period of contact, Xiao Dilie has long felt that the general Cao Jia he knows should be from an extraordinary background, otherwise he would not know everything about the situation in Song and Liao, and the situation inside the Great Song Dynasty is just that, but for some of the internal situations in Liao, Cao Jia actually said it well, and some news that he had never even heard of, these news are definitely not accessible to ordinary people.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Dilie has always been very curious about Zhao Jia's identity, especially when he heard that Zhao Jia even knew such a big thing as the possibility of the Great Song Dynasty waging war against the Liao State, which made him firmly believe that Zhao Jia's identity was definitely not simple, so he couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Xiao Dilie ask this, Zhao Jia couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and after a while, he finally spoke: "My identity is indeed a little special, but since Brother Xiao asked so, I don't want to hide it anymore, but before I answer your question, I want to ask Brother Xiao a question!" ”

"What's the problem?" When Xiao Dilie heard Zhao Jia admit that his identity was not good, he immediately shook his spirits.

At this time, Zhao Jia took a deep breath, and then said solemnly: "Brother Xiao, it's still the question you raised just now, if you really can't hold the Huanglong Mansion, so that our Great Song Dynasty sends troops to attack the Liao State, how should you deal with yourself then?" ”

"This ......" Xiao Dilie heard Zhao Jia's somewhat tricky question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and after a while, he suddenly smiled helplessly and said, "With my father's temper, I'm afraid that I will only be loyal to the country at that time, even if I fight to the last soldier, I will never compromise, as a son of man, I will naturally fight with my father, I am afraid that the final destination can only be to die on the battlefield!" ”

Xiao Dilie's words did not surprise Zhao Jia. Because he had long known the temper of their father and son, when he heard this, he sighed and said: "Old General Xiao's loyalty to the Liao State is indeed admirable, I remember that my father once said to me that since Yeluren died in battle, only Old General Xiao can be called a rare general in the entire Liao State, but Old General Xiao is the same as Yeluren Xian." They are all loyal to the Liao State, and even if they die in battle, they will not betray the Liao State. ”

When Zhao Jia said this, he suddenly paused and then said: "But even if General Xiao is loyal to Liao, I'm afraid he won't want to see his son die with him, and I can see these days that Brother Xiao is also very dissatisfied with Liao, and even his talents have nowhere to play, in this case, Brother Xiao might as well leave Liao." Follow me to the Great Song Dynasty, with Brother Xiao's skills, he can definitely be reused, and he can also retain a bloodline for the family, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

As soon as Zhao Jia's words fell, he saw Xiao Dilie's face gloomy and said: "Brother Cao, why did you say this, is Xiao so much like a betrayer?" ”

"Brother Xiao, don't get me wrong, for Brother Xiao's character. The younger brother actually knows better than anyone else, not to mention anything else. Three years ago, you and General Xiao were trapped in the city of Huanglongfu, there were no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, Brother Xiao was ready to die generously at that time, but he didn't expect to be saved by the alliance between Song and Liao, just based on this incident, I know that Brother Xiao You are not afraid of death, but do you think it is worth dying like this? Zhao Jia said with a sincere face at this time.

I heard Zhao Jia mention the incident of Huanglong Mansion three years ago. Xiao Dilie's face also looked a little better, especially when Zhao Jia's last sentence 'Is it worth dying like this', it even said that Xiao Dilie's heart was in Xiao Dilie's heart, since he was sensible, he had seen all kinds of contradictions within the Liao State with his own eyes. In particular, his father was squeezed out by Yelu Yixin, and almost lost his life several times, which also made him not have a strong sense of belonging to the Liao State, and he saw Yelu Yanxi's incompetence with his own eyes before, which made him feel extremely disappointed in the Liao State, he is still young, and there are countless ambitions in his chest that have not been realized, if he is really so loyal to the Liao State to die, he is naturally very unwilling.

Thinking of the above, Xiao Dilie couldn't help but be silent for a while, and the expression on his face became very complicated, no one wanted to be a traitor, but now seeing that the broken ship of Liao was about to sink, his father was determined to live and die with Liao, but he also didn't want his son to die with him, otherwise he wouldn't want to take himself away in Huanglong Mansion three years ago. Thinking of this, Xiao Dilie couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart.

Seeing the hesitant expression on Xiao Dilie's face, Zhao Jia was happy in his heart, because this meant that Xiao Dilie had been moved by what he said, but he hadn't made up his mind yet, but for such a big matter, it was difficult for him to make a decision in a short period of time, so I saw him speak again: "Brother Xiao, I know that it is difficult for you to decide this matter for a while, so you don't have to worry, you can think about it seriously after you go back, and even discuss it with your father, General Xiao, I believe that with General Xiao's knowledge, It will definitely show you the way! ”

Zhao Jia's words were very frank, but he had absolute confidence, although Xiao Yanshou was loyal to the Liao State, but he did not ask his son to be loyal to the Liao State, and even three years ago in the Huanglong Mansion he wanted to take Xiao Dilie away, Zhao Jia also knew very clearly, so he dared to say that let Xiao Dilie go back and discuss with Xiao Yanshou, no matter how loyal Xiao Yanshou is to the Liao State, I am afraid that he will not drag his son to die with him.

When Xiao Dilie heard Zhao Jia's frank words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he also showed gratitude, and immediately said: "Okay, it's rare that Brother Cao thinks so thoughtfully, I'll go back and think about it for a while, in fact, in the past few years, our father and son have also been ostracized, if it weren't for being dragged back from time to time, how could even a little Jurchen be helpless!" ”

At the end, Xiao Dilie also slapped his thigh with some anger, but at this time, he suddenly thought of the previous question, and asked curiously again: "Brother Cao, you haven't answered my question just now, who are you?" ”

Hearing Xiao Dilie ask about his identity again, he saw Zhao Jia smile indifferently and said: "Brother Xiao, my identity is special, so I concealed my real name before, in fact, my surname is Zhao, and the surname Cao is the surname of my mother's family." ”

"Zhao! You are the Great Song Dynasty! Xiao Dilie couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he was able to understand the inside story of so many two countries, and the only explanation for the people surnamed Zhao was that he was born in the royal family, and he must be a very important person in the royal family.

"Yes, my father is the Yue King of the Great Song Dynasty, I think Brother Xiao should have heard of it." Zhao Jia said proudly at this time, Zhao Jia has admired his father very much since he was a child, and after leaving the palace and staying outside for a few years, he learned about his father's greatness, so he was also proud of his father.

"The more ...... Yue Wang Zhao Yan! Xiao Dilie heard Zhao Jia's life experience, and stood up excitedly, Zhao Yan's name is known to everyone in Liao, and most of the Liao people are respectful and fearful of him, especially when the Great Song Dynasty attacked Yanyun, Zhao Yan forced Yeluren to death, making Liao no longer available, which also made Zhao Yan's name almost a nightmare for Liao people.

"No wonder you are so familiar with the internal affairs of Song and Liao, it turns out that you are the son of His Royal Highness King Yue." After a long while, I saw Xiao Dilie sit down with a wry smile on his face and said, but his words were more like saying to himself.

"My father often said that since Yeluren died first, Brother Xiao, your father and son have become the pillars of the Liao army, but unfortunately your emperor of Da Liao is becoming more and more mediocre, and he actually handed over the power of the court to a villain like Yelu Yixin, which also made your father and son be excluded, so the younger brother knew that when Brother Xiao was on my boat, he deliberately stepped forward to make friends." Zhao Jia spoke again at this time, and looked at Xiao Dilie's gaze very calmly.

Zhao Jia's words had actually been said once before, but at that time, Xiao Dilie didn't know that these words appeared in Zhao Yan's mouth, so he didn't feel anything, but now that he heard them again, he immediately felt honored, after all, not everyone can be praised by Zhao Yan, and their father and son can be praised by Zhao Yan so much, which also makes him feel a little confidant of Zhao Yan.

However, a confidant is a confidant, although Xiao Dilie is young, he has already passed the age of making decisions as soon as his mind is hot, so after he calmed down, he seriously thought about it again for a long time before finally speaking: "Cao ...... Eh, Brother Zhao, since you have made everything clear, then Xiao Mou will tell the truth, I am indeed not willing to be buried with Da Liao, but my father is a loyal and courageous person, and I am not sure what he thinks in his heart, and my father is as kind as a mountain, no matter what choice my father makes, I will not have any complaints! ”

Xiao Dilie's words are also very clear, he is not repulsive about the matter of returning to the Great Song Dynasty, but he has to get his father's consent, and it is also very interesting to say that their father and son are also very interesting, Xiao Yanshou is a foolish and loyal to Liao, but Xiao Dilie is foolish and filial to his father, it can be said that he is the same stubbornness, it is really in response to the old saying that it is not a family that does not enter the door.

"I understand Brother Xiao's words, but I promise Brother Xiao as the prince of Yue that as long as Brother Xiao comes to my Great Song Dynasty, he will definitely get the courtesy of my Great Song Dynasty, and he will definitely not be rejected because Brother Xiao is a Khitan, and no one will dare to hold you back if you make contributions on the battlefield in the future!" Zhao Jia reassured again at this time, he did not mention any specific conditions, because it was still a little early to say this, and with his understanding of Xiao Dilie, the other party did not attach great importance to these, so he could only give a broad guarantee.
