461: Diplomacy relies on fists

I suspect you're asking for a bribe, but there's no evidence.

Li Xun was suddenly entangled, it stands to reason that such an official who fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy did not look like that kind of corrupt person.

So he tentatively said, "I brought some gifts on this trip......"

Qin Wei immediately rolled his eyes, he didn't speak, but expressed his thoughts with his eyes...... Looking at the empty ground, his face showed doubt.

What about gifts?

Depend on!

Is he really going to ask me for a bribe?

Li Xun's eyes widened, and he felt that he had lived to a dog for the first half of his life.

This is the rumored devil from hell?

The murderous king of Hades wiped out 20,000 elites in Jiaozhi in a battle, and even used the bones of 5,000 people to build a mountain-high Jingguan, such a person...... He's asking me for a bribe right now?

This is not in line with the rumors!

Li Xun was a little at a loss, was it a mistake, or were those people lying about the military situation?

Qin Wei didn't get a response, so he followed with a humming sound, and kept looking out of the door with his eyes shaking.

Li Xun swore that Qin Wei's eyes were full of greed and anger.

He subconsciously shouted outside the door, "You two, go and bring things in." ”

Naturally, you have to bring gifts when you come to the door, which is the social etiquette of this recently.

But Li Xun thought that Qin Wei would definitely not accept it, so he left it outside and just went through the motions.

Who knows this man......

Ay!

Later, Duan Yu came in with two Jiaozhi people, still carrying a big burden in his arms.

Li Xun took the package and opened it himself, and there were some gems and other things inside, but there was not much gold or silver.

After all, there is no shortage of gold and silver for the characters mixed up in this place, and the gems are more valuable and easy to carry.

Qin Wei just glanced at it lightly, his expression was very flat, and he waved his hand and said, "Take it." ”

Duan Yu nodded and took the burden away.

After he went out, Qin Wei suddenly asked: "The matter in the southwest is now a thing of the past, and the officials don't say anything, so they ask him what Li Rizun means?" ”

Li Xu frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "That's His Majesty the Emperor of my Dynasty!" ”

"Mu Monkey and Crown!"

Qin Wei sneered and suddenly turned his face.

It was as if what had just been taken away was not a bribe, but a pile of garbage.

This kind of person is commonly known as shamelessness.

Li Xu didn't expect this person to turn his face faster than turning a book, and he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss for a while, so he asked, "What does Lord Qin mean by this?" ”

"Cochin invaded Guangnan West Road, can it be confirmed?"

Li Xun's eyes were full of anger, and he said, "That's a mistake!" It is a traitor who falsely conveys His Majesty's will, and when His Majesty wants to stop it, the army has already been drawn out......"

Qin Wei smiled slightly, "What about the traitor?" ”

Generally at this time, even if a topic is over, everyone can happily move on to the next topic, but this person is shameless and has to be asked.

Didn't you hear that I was just making an excuse?

Qin Wei, who did not play cards according to common sense, made Li Xun a little tired, and quietly his position was messed up, so he could only laugh and say: "Lord Qin, don't worry, the thief has been detained, and he will be killed when he turns around." ”

He wailed in his heart: I have to go to the letter country as soon as I turn back, so that they can find a scapegoat to slaughter.

The power of the Great Song Dynasty is incomparable, and if it really collapses, there will be trouble.

Qin Wei sighed, "That's good, that's good!" ”

He said with a gloomy expression: "Da Song has always been close to Jiaozhi like brothers, but this time something unbearable happened, and Da Song suffered heavy losses......"

What are you talking about!

The Great Song Dynasty is obviously a victorious country, and the captives alone have already made a lot of money, and you still have heavy losses?

This time it's our cochin that loses a lot, okay?

Li Xun took advantage of the situation and remembered the shock caused by the messenger when he stormed the palace.

After learning that more than 20,000 elite soldiers were wiped out, the young Li Rizun almost ordered his troops to fight to the death with the Great Song Dynasty.

Fortunately, there was Zai Fu Lian Lian on the side to comfort him, which stabilized Li Rizun's angry anger.

"Yes, the sins of those traitors are unforgivable! Lord Qin rest assured, after going back, he will write to the country and report to His Majesty to severely punish the murderer! ”

Li Xun almost gritted his teeth and said.

"yes!"

Qin Wei said seemingly casually: "Someone in the court suggested that Jiaozhi did not accept Wanghua, but I don't agree with this point, Jiaozhi is also a friend, and the theory of 'Wanghua' is a bit excessive......"

Under what circumstances can you say the phrase 'disobedience to the king'.

Only the big countries are vassalized with the smaller countries around them.

That is to say, Jiaozhi was a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty and was not an orthodox dynasty.

This is a humiliation for an independent kingdom.

Li Xun's face flashed a cold color, and he said with a smile: "What Lord Qin said is that the Great Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi are very good neighborly countries, and I hope that the friendship between your two countries will last forever." ”

Qin Wei nodded, sighed again, and said: "However, in this battle in the southwest, the Great Song Dynasty has really seen many internal problems, such as redundant troops and redundant ......."

Uh-huh?

This person actually mentioned the internal troubles of the Great Song Dynasty in front of outsiders!

Didn't he know that it was a state secret?

Li Xun seemed to be a little unconvinced of his ears.

But Qin Wei didn't wait for him to react, and continued: "Your envoy should know the policy of the Great Song Dynasty towards the Xiang army...... Every year, there are countless van troops recruited from all over the country, there are too many! No matter how rich the DPRK is, it can't afford to withstand such a toss! ”

That's true.

The reason why the Great Song Dynasty is jealous is that the Great Song Dynasty is too rich, and millions of soldiers who are rich can afford it, even if these people are not needed at all, but the Great Song Dynasty is still increasing every year.

Li Xun nodded with deep feelings, "Yes, the more troops there are, the greater the consumption, Lord Qin might as well persuade His Majesty the Great Song Dynasty to reduce the incorporation of the Xiang army, which is also a good thing for the country and the people." ”

Hehe!

I believe you're a ghost, a bad old man.

Qin Wei sneered in his heart, but he still frowned: "So recently, many officials have admonished, saying that Zhancheng has always been respectful to the Great Song Dynasty, and if Zhancheng is willing to obey the king, the Great Song Dynasty can sell them some weapons and ordnance appropriately, so as to reduce the consumption of the domestic army." Or just send some troops over...... Anyway, the national strength of Zhancheng is weak, and it is not a loss to send some food to raise troops for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Since the establishment of the Li Dynasty in the southwest, the days of the occupation of the city next door have been worse day by day.

It can be called a misfortune in three lives, and he has fallen into the evil neighbor of Jiaozhi.

If Da Song is really willing to send troops to help, it will be the turn of Jiaozhi to have a headache.

Li Xun's heart trembled, but his face remained unchanged, and he just said with a little thought: "That's so, but it costs a lot to go back and forth between the two sides!" ”

It's scared, and I don't want to say I'm scared.

Qin Wei said with a smile: "After this battle on the Guangnan West Road, some people suggested that they should train troops locally, train 50,000 elite soldiers in preparation for the needs of the southwest, and then ...... on land The Great Song Dynasty can gallop, what do you think? ”

Two-way pinch!

The inland makes you dare not offend, how about stabbing you in the eye all the way at sea?

Li Xun didn't speak, but he subconsciously tightened the chrysanthemum.

Qin Wei continued to mend the knife and said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask, Li Yuanhao of Western Xia has just been proclaimed emperor, and the Great Song Dynasty originally wanted to crusade, but in view of Li Yuanhao's sincere attitude and willingness to ally with the Great Song Dynasty, my Great Song Emperor is powerful and broad-minded, so he naturally agrees......"

This is an external condition.

The Great Song Dynasty had no external invasion in the north for the time being.

Don't think about taking advantage of the establishment of the Western Xia to get any bargains, the Great Song Dynasty did not move the Western Xia, and the Western Xia would never dare to take the initiative to attack the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the Liao State was still watching from the sidelines.

So, the current situation is...... Da Song doesn't have any risk of external troubles, how about concentrating on getting Jiaozhi?

The idea is scary!

Li Yuanhao of Western Xia is still young, and he does not have the courage to fight against the Great Song Dynasty, whose wealth is several times that of his own.

This is what many people know about Li Yuanhao.

Including the Liao State side also thought so, otherwise they should have sent an envoy to discuss the matter of Western Xia a long time ago, instead of delaying it for so long without reacting.

Everyone is sure that Western Xia will not take the initiative to provoke Song Liao.

Li Xunqiang said with a smile: "My country has always been respectful to the Great Song Dynasty...... This time I came here to explain the misunderstanding......"

Qin Wei shook his head and said: "The explanation is not enough, the Great Song Dynasty sent more than 10,000 troops this time, and it cost a lot of ......."

This is the red fruit to be compensated.

This is blackmail!

Extortion of large countries against small countries.

This matter was expected by the ministers of Jiaozhi, but it was no longer within the scope of Li Xun's expectations.

After learning that the Great Song Dynasty only sent more than 10,000 troops and killed more than 20,000 of their elite soldiers, the Jiaozhi monarchs and ministers were stunned.

The Great Song Dynasty fought against Li Gongyun when he established the Li Dynasty, but the Great Song Dynasty at that time did not have much deterrent power.

Especially after the Song Dynasty and Liao Yuanyuan, the combat effectiveness shown by the Great Song Dynasty was even more frustrating.

Therefore, it also stimulates the ambition of Cochin.

Countless histories have proved that there are many reasons for foreign invasions, but in the final analysis, there is only one: you are too weak to fight your brother.

The neighbor has money, but he can't fight, so can I beat him up and rob him of his money?

Absolutely!

This is bandit logic, which has been enshrined as truth by countless countries.

The truth comes out of the barrel of the gun, this is the reality!

In addition, the center of gravity of the Great Song Dynasty has been in the north over the years.

This is also the reason why Cochin has no fear.

I thought that after the establishment of the Western Xia Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty should have a much more relaxed attitude towards Jiaozhi, after all, even if it was a wealthy Great Song Dynasty, if it wanted to fight on two fronts, it would pay a lot.

But who would have thought that the Great Song Dynasty was not ready to crusade against Western Xia, but wanted to turn around and fight inside......

Li Xun figured out this truth, but he was still a little lucky, so he said: "Thank you Lord Qin for taking the time to see you, and I will ask you to see His Majesty the Great Song Dynasty when I turn around." ”

This is because I think Zhao Zhen's side will be merciful and exempt them from compensation.

After all, Da Song's politeness is famous, as long as he says a few flattering words, Da Song will be like a rich man who became rich overnight, not only does not compensate, but also gives money.

Li Gongyun has done this before.

In those years, Da Song and Jiaozhi fought several times, but they were all unsuccessful.

Later, Da Song felt that it was not a way to go on like this, since he could not annihilate Jiaozhi in one fell swoop, then he would win over a group of tribes that were opposed to Jiaozhi in the surrounding area, so as to check and balance.
