Xiao Zhen saw that the three of them were talking to each other, and he was secretly envious in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Han has a saying, the Bianliang Zhao family is not a hero, and humiliates heroes, when Lanzhou was besieged a few months ago, Lord Han was dragged in Shangjing because of some things and could not help, so that General Wu's family was trapped and deeply regretted. Now that the matter of going to Beijing, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the sixteen states of Yanyun are all led by Lord Han, General Wu no longer has to be held hostage by Zhao Jiong of Bianliang, and 30,000 of my Daliao cavalry army are from Shuozhou, and they can go to Lanzhou in one day. ”

Wu Yingying didn't know if his words were true or false, Han De made the identity of the Han people, and if he wanted to take charge of the sixteen states of Yanyun, there would indeed be a battle in the open and secret in Beijing. However, it may also be that they were afraid of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army, and did not want to go deep into the south to fight. On the contrary, once he recruited the Khitan people to help, this big stain could no longer be scrubbed. Thinking of this, Wu Yingying thanked him and said: "Lord Han has a heart, but I have already made peace talks with the Bianliang Imperial Court, and I have been appointed as the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and my family members and subordinates have also been freed from difficulties, so I will not bother the Liao army." ”

Xiao Zhen listened to the faint refusal in his words, and did not think it was resentful, because Han Derang had long known that Wu Yingying had accepted the edict of the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, and the whole Liao State sighed that Zhao Jiong was too lucky, and sent out an official title, and almost without blood, he received thousands of miles of land in Hexi in vain. You must know that Hexi is not comparable to the Central Plains Han Land, but surrounded by mountains, the east controls the Western Regions, the west is connected to the Middle Earth, and the north is a treasure land of the desert.

If Wu Yingying should ask for help from the Liao State, Xiao Zhen would not be able to do it, although there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the sixteen states of Yanyun, but the military system of the Liao State is extremely mixed, and most of the soldiers on these books are scattered in the military states and tribes, even if Han Derang is in a hurry, it is difficult to mobilize a force that is enough to compete with the Great Song Forbidden Army gathered in the south of Taiyuan. However, Han Derang had already expected that Wu Yingying would definitely not accept the rescue of the Liao State, and the reason why Xiao Zhen said this was just a sentence of throwing stones to ask for directions.

"General Wu is a true hero. Xiao Zhen praised without changing his face, "Lord Han asked the villain to spread the word, the so-called Ming people don't do dark things, and now the Great Song Dynasty covets my Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and it has long been revealed, I don't know which side General Wu is on if there is a battle between the north and the south?"

Wu Yingying didn't expect Han Derang to make his own choice so soon, it was really a drastic measure, he looked behind him, and said with a smile: "Wu has only three hundred soldiers in Heshuo, it doesn't seem to matter which side he stands on." The opponent that Lord Han wants to pay attention to is not me, but the elite generals in the forbidden army. ”

Xiao Zhen pretended to be disdainful and said: "With the children of Bianliang, how can I compete with my heroes in the north." But his words seem to be lacking in confidence, because in recent decades, in the battles between the Zhou Zai Song and the Bianliang forbidden army and the Liao army, they have all gained the upper hand. The forbidden army is an army formed by the elite of the world, to a certain extent, the Liao people in this era also have "Song phobia", otherwise Han Derang would not have sent Xiao Zhen to find out the back of a Great Song Dynasty envoy.

"If the Great Song Dynasty invades Yanyun to the north, can the Lord go out of the west of the river and enter the Guanzhong, then the Song army will inevitably be difficult to take care of, after Lord Han defeats the Bianliang Forbidden Army, it is difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to have a warlike army that can resist the army of tigers and wolves under the general, and Lord Han will guarantee on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Da Liao and Xiao Niangniang that if the general and Da Liao join forces to attack the Song Dynasty, I Da Liao only wants to keep the land of Yan Yun, the Central Plains, and take it by himself. Xiao Zhen mentioned the Emperor of Liao and Empress Xiao in his words, and his expression became serious, and he even respected Wu Yingying a lot, as if he was now in a yellow robe.

Xiao Jiu and Zhang Zhongyao behind Wu Yingying were only one step away, and the two of them also knew that Wu Yingying and Han Derang had a deep friendship, but they did not expect to make an alliance, and the shocking words of Liao assisting Wu Yingying to change the dynasty in the Central Plains also spit out from Xiao Zhen's mouth, and he also swore that he was guaranteed by the Liao Emperor and Empress Xiao. For a while, the second general's breathing couldn't help but be a little heavy, Zhang Zhongyao vigilantly glanced in the direction of the Song army in the distance, turned his head and looked at Wu Yingying's back with a complicated expression, Xiao Zhen was wearing the common military robe of the Lanzhou army, and followed Wu Yingying as if he was a personal guard soldier, and there was nothing suspicious.

Wu Yingying's face suddenly became solemn, he looked at Xiao Zhen's face full of expectation, sighed slightly in his heart, and said softly, but firmly: "Annoying General Xiao told Lord Han that his kindness Wu Yingying understands, I don't want to be Shi Jingjiao." This Shi Jingjiao was the first to cede the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao State legally, and he was also the first Emperor of the Central Plains to call himself the "Son Emperor" to the Liao State, although later the Central Plains Emperor called himself "son", "grandson", "minister" There are many places, but everything is difficult at the beginning, so Shi Jingjiao is also very famous in the history of later generations. However, it is said that this prince is not completely heartless, after calling him "the emperor", he always sleeps all night and is angry, and the emperor does not do it long before he goes west. Such a thankless thing, Wu Yingying does not do.

Hearing that Wu Yingying rejected the olive branch extended by Liao Guo, Xiao Jiu and Zhang Zhongyao in the back almost unanimously breathed a sigh of relief. The temptation of the emperor is not something that ordinary people can resist. And Xiao Zhen did not have a look of frustration on his face, but praised: "General Wu Gaoyi, Lord Han expects that you are only willing to take it straight, and you are not willing to ask for it." Xiao Zhen has to talk to a hero like the general, which is really a blessing from the three lives and three lifetimes. His words confirmed Wu Yingying's ambition to seize the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and Wu Yingying didn't bother to argue with him, the two talked a few more words without being salty, and Xiao Zhen left.

Wu Yingying looked at his back and thought to himself, the relationship with Han Derang is really cut, and the reason is still messy. However, even if it is thousands of miles away from Hexi, the Liao State still has his influence, and his foundation is not stable, so it is indeed not appropriate to stiffen the relationship between the two families now. In all fairness, Han De made this person responsible, courageous and skillful, and if he didn't look at their respective positions, he was a figure worthy of friendship in the world.

"My lord's forgiveness, this Xiao Zhen claimed to be an envoy of Lord Han, and he had something important to report, so his subordinates took him to the entourage who greeted him, who knew that before he reported to the adult, he actually stepped forward to speak without authorization, disturbing the adult and the two ladies, please punish the adult. Xiao Jiu bowed beside him.

There is indeed something wrong with his arrangement, but there are always omissions, but Wu Yingying is not easy to blame, he only smiled: "I didn't expect that there are such slippery characters among the Khitans, and next time let the two sergeants watch him closely." General Xiao carried the 5,000 forbidden army with three battalions of non-commissioned officers for several months, preserving the families of the whole army and the people of the city. After speaking, he leaned over and bowed, Xiao Jiu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but Wu Yingying was so affectionate, although Xiao Jiu did not take credit, he was moved in his heart.
