Huang Shang asked Wang Yuyan to explain to Xiao Feng, if he wanted Emperor Liao to dispel the idea of southern invasion, he must not be from the aspect of "life and souls", let alone let him stand on Song Rao's position, he must analyze the problem from the perspective of Liao Rao and fully consider the interests of Liao Rao.

Yelu Hongji groaned and said, "According to you, he dispatched troops, how should we deal with it?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "If he really dares to make a move, those advantages of the Southern Dynasty of the minister will be gone." ”

Yelu Hongji was puzzled and asked, "Why is it gone?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "The Southern Dynasty took the initiative to do it, and the ministers' ones could not be counted on, so they could only rely on their not strong army." If so, they will be defeated. ”

Yelu Hongji said: "So, we can only passively wait to be beaten?" ”

Xiao Feng's words made Yelu Hongji unhappy.

Xiao Feng still shook his head: "It's not so easy to fight, the emperor has just been in power, the court situation is unstable, it's okay to train soldiers, if you really fight, those ministers under him, I'm afraid that no one will support you." ”

Yelu Hongji said: "If he really insists on going his own way, what if he has to do it?" ”

Xiao Feng thought for a long time and said, "The minister thinks it's impossible, but if that's the case, he can only eat the consequences." He took the initiative to attack Xia that year, but was annihilated by more than 200,000 people, hoping that he could learn a lesson. Liao is not summer, and we have been prepared for a long time. ”

Yelu Hongji suddenly asked, "What if we unite with Xia and Song?" ”

Xiao Feng was silent for a long time, and said, "What the minister is most afraid of is that Song and Xia will attack us. ”

Yelu Hongji was also surprised: "Is it possible? ”

Xiao Feng said: "It is more likely than Liao and Xia." ”

Yelu Hongji asked: "Why? ”

Xiao Feng said: "In the previous battle of Song and Xia, Song was defeated, but does Your Majesty know the result of that peace negotiation?" ”

Yelu Hongji said: "I know, Song does not have any compensation. ”

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Exactly, this has never been done before." The purpose of Xia's war was to get Song's compensation, especially this time Song took the initiative to attack Xia, and the battlefield was also in Xia. ”

Yeluhonki asked, "Why is that?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "This is going to mention a person, the minister and His Majesty, the minister also has a master in the Southern Dynasty." ”

Yelu Hongji nodded, "Indeed." ”

Xiao Feng said: "Listen to Master, Your Majesty should have seen him." ”

Yelu Hongji unexpectedly pointed to his nose and asked, "I have seen him?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "He once served as an envoy of the Song Dynasty to envoy Da Liao, he is the champion Huang Shang of the three yuan of Renxu Kelian, and he went to Da Liao with Cai Bian Cai to envoy Da Liao. ”

Yelu Hongji exclaimed: "It turned out to be him!" ”

Yelu Hongji really has an impression of Huang Shang, although the main envoy was Cai Bian back then, but Huang Shang has just been connected to the three yuan, and Yelu Hongji, who admires Chinese culture, knows very well how difficult it is for Huang Shang to be the champion, so he is deeply impressed.

Yelu Hongji asked suspiciously, "You learn from him......"

Yelu Hongji couldn't help but wonder, I didn't see how good Xiao Feng's literary talent was, since he grew up in the Southern Dynasty, his literary talent was far worse than his own Khitan, not like having a champion master.

Xiao Feng said: "The minister and the master learn martial arts. ”

"Learn martial arts? And the champion of the three elements in the company learns martial arts? ”

Xiao Feng said: "The minister's master is a civil and military all-rounder, and he doesn't understand Wenchen, but the master can connect the three yuan, and it is not bad to think about it." ”

Not only is it not bad, Yelu Hongji is literate, and his talent is not enough to describe Huang Shang. Xiao Feng described Huang Shang like this, he really didn't understand the text.

Xiao Feng continued: "Speaking of martial arts, how high the master's martial arts are, the minister can't see it anymore, the minister just thinks that the master is close to the immortals. ”

Yelu Hongji knew that Xiao Feng's martial arts were extremely strong, but he really didn't know that Xiao Feng's martial arts could push the Central Plains, otherwise he would only be more surprised.

"The minister mentioned the master because of the original Song Xia negotiations, the master was the representative of the Song side, although the Song was defeated, the bottom line of the court was not not to pay compensation, but the minister's master insisted on not giving money, and finally Xia also accepted it."

Yelu Hongji asked, "I also wonder, why did Xia accept such a condition after winning the battle, and this victory was in vain?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "Chen's master insisted that Xia needed a truce more than Song, and he Xia was not able to fight again, although Song lost 200,000 people, he still had the ability to continue fighting, but if Xia continued to fight, he would collapse." Master to the minister, Song is not afraid of defeat, she has countless war resources to squander, but Xia can't, even if he keeps winning battles, he can't withstand Song's consumption, so Xia was forced to accept Master's proposal, called the minister, no compensation, his victory was indeed in vain. ”

Yelu Hongji also fell into contemplation, the problems encountered by Xia, Liao also have, even if it is stronger than Xia, but the gap in population and economy is real. Liao wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty, even if he kept winning the war, it might not work, Liao needed a comprehensive victory in a short period of time to end the war, and could not fall into a tug-of-war, otherwise why would he sign the Yuanyuan Alliance back then. Although Song bowed down, it was also the result of Liao's inability to take down Song in an all-round way.

And what Yelu Hongji wanted before he came was to completely destroy the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hongji pondered for a long time and said, "According to you, it is indeed not easy to destroy the Song Dynasty. ”

Xiao Feng was overjoyed in his heart, his words worked.

But Yelu Hongji's words changed and said: "But the emperor's rectification of the northern frontier at this time is actually provoking my Daliao." I don't have to completely destroy the Song Dynasty, I can fight as much Song land as I can, Liao is not Xia, and it is not difficult to subdue this emperor. ”

Xiao Feng sighed again in his heart, the person who can be the emperor is really not so convincing.

Xiao Feng said: "Minister, Song took the initiative to attack Liao, and he could only rely on his weak army, and his civilian strength would not be used, and he would be defeated." But if our Da Liao enters the Song realm, those advantages of the Song can be used. There were countless folk righteous people in the Song Dynasty, and the beggars who were in charge of the ministers were in charge of the beggar gang regarded 'guarding the Great Song Dynasty' as their purpose. At that time, the minister had not yet joined the beggar gang, and the assassination was also an opportunity for the minister to join the beggar gang. It is precisely this purpose that makes the beggars highly respected. Therefore, as soon as Chen Khitan Rao's life experience was exposed, he was immediately expelled from the beggar gang. There are many such people in the people, who are willing to work hard for the court without the help of the court. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is what the minister just now, the minister is most worried about Song Lianxia. ”

Yelu Hongji said: "That's right, you didn't understand why Xia would definitely join the Song Dynasty, but not the Liao?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "This is also what the minister only learned when he went to the Southern Dynasty and Xia this time, and it is also the reason why the minister mentioned the master." Last time, Song Xiayi and Xia didn't take advantage, and it wasn't entirely because the master took advantage of Xia's weakness, but because the master could influence Xia's imperial concubine. ”
