"Crown prince, since you came back from the Xia Dynasty, you must be quite familiar with the current Xia Dynasty, today I know that you are back, and it is not an outsider who came, they are all generals in my clan, can you tell me, what is the situation of the Xia Dynasty now?" Xiao Yunshuang asked.

Yelu Ji also nodded and said: "Yes, the queen trekked through mountains and rivers some time ago, went to the Turks, suffered a lot of hardships along the way, encountered accidents, and reached an agreement with the Turks, hehe, we also urgently need the intelligence of the Xia Dynasty, what they handed over, there is always a deviation, and what you have seen and experienced with your own eyes is the most convincing." ”

Yelu Xiayue also looked at Yelu Duo with joy, since she can remember, she knows that there is a prosperous and rich country in the south, building a country with poetry and book etiquette, everyone is polite, and the law and policy are complete, so she studied with the national teacher.

And Aguduo's cultural research on the Xia Dynasty is also extremely in-depth, teaching what he has learned, which also arouses Yelu Xiayue's interest even more, and his love for poetry has reached the point where he can't put it down, and his lifelong dream is to settle in Luoyang and study at Confucianism.

Yeluduo arched his hand and took out two books from his arms: "These two books are the two most precious books in my opinion, one is "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and the other is "Outline of the Scriptures", one is from Sun Tzu's hand during the Warring States Period, and the other is written by Li Jing, a general of the Tang Dynasty. ”

So saying, he gave one of the two books to Agudo and the other to Timur.

"Good things, good things, this military book, different from what came to us, more specific, hehe, good things......" Timur rolled his eyes twice, and saw the difference, this was brought from the Xia Dynasty, naturally it can't be faked.

"But it's such a good thing, you can buy it in many places in the Xia Dynasty, but they abandon it like a thing, and basically no one looks at it, even their generals." Jerodok's words were astonishing and astonishing.

The court was full of ministers who had followed Yelu Halberd for decades to die, and they couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamation.

"Crown Prince, why don't they look at it?"

Someone has asked such a question.

Jerodor laughed, "At first, I wondered why this was the case, but after living there for three months and getting acquainted with the officers there, I gradually understood. ”

"It's not that they don't look at it, but they change the guard too often, in three years, they changed the guard twice, Luoyang City is so important, and the border army is transferred, after those border troops return to Luoyang, they go to the Qinglou, drink wine and eat meat, receive heavy money, and what's more, marry a wife and have children in Luoyang, transfer out of the border army, and go to the yamen of the imperial court to do other things, so, even if they learn the art of war, what is the use?"

"No wonder in the battle of Blackwater, they collapsed, and before they fought, they ran away bare-assed, hahaha......"

There was a burst of laughter from above the courtroom.

Yeluduo also laughed: "Hehe, but they are very good, they don't realize this problem, they simply think that as long as they have an absolute advantage in numbers, they can win the victory, and among the generals I control, except for Lu Kanghui, Fei Qingming and a few border army generals who still have some skills, the others are all rabble, not worth mentioning." ”

"And these two generals, we have also fought each other, this point, the general could not understand better."

Timur laughed and said: "This is true, this Lu Kanghui can be regarded as having some ability, if it weren't for him, I would have smashed Huanglong and gone south to Luoyang, and was finally stopped by him, but he has been in battle for a long time, I really don't know if I can still hold the knife now, that Fei Qingming was originally a tiger general under Lu Kanghui, brave and strategic, with the reward he received for his exploits back then, in my opinion, it is not enough to be afraid, but it is the Ning Que ......"

"Oh, speaking of this Ning Que, I also wonder why the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty would treat this character like this." Yelu Duo said: "In March this year, there was civil strife in the south, there was a force that occupied the land of the three southern provinces and sixteen states, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty sent Ning Que and the army of 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress, I don't know what happened in the middle, and when Ning Que came back, he was already seriously injured, and it was rumored that his two sons, one was disabled, the other could not do martial arts, and the only daughter also left Ningshan Mansion, hehe, a generation of generals, was destroyed in the hands of his own people, this is not God help me, what is it?" ”

"Hehe, this Xia Dynasty is like this, all day of intrigues, Sun Tzu's Art of War, those means of killing the enemy, all used in the court, deserve ......" Aguduo laughed.

It is true that his position in the Great Yuan Dynasty is unshakable, since Yelu rebelled against the Turks, he followed all the way, escorted, and later the Battle of Blackwater, but also single-handedly repelled the offensive of the Xia Dynasty, 100,000 won 400,000, and since then it has become famous, and it is his battle that has given the Great Yuan Dynasty ten years of rich coins, gradually accumulated, and now it is able to compete with the Turks, or even better.

"So now the Xia Dynasty has reached the point where no one is available, and their border army, in the past ten years, did not even dare to take a step, it is enough to see that they are afraid of war, and this information is unknown to the Turks." Jerodor spoke, but spoke to the Turks.

On his way back, he had already heard that the king and queen had made a marriage agreement with him and his sister, and that he was going to marry Li Zhenji, the eldest princess of the Turkic court, and at the same time, his sister Yelu Xia Yuexia was married to the Turkic crown prince Li Chengqian.

He doesn't want this family business, in his opinion, there is no need to show favor to the Turkic royal court, if you don't recognize my status, then fight until you admit it.

Now that the strength of the Great Yuan is far above that of the Turks, why should they compromise and strengthen the relationship between the two countries with political marriage?

He didn't even know what this Princess Li Zhenji looked like, whether she was tall or low, fat or thin? And after his sister marries Li Chengqian, if Li Chengqian dies, her sister will marry the next crown prince, can she, who has been influenced by the culture of the Xia Dynasty since she was a child, accept it?

The king and queen didn't even ask the two of them, but went straight to the matter, which is why he had to come back early.

He originally hoped that the Xia Dynasty would be able to destroy the marriage, but the Xia Dynasty was useless, and there was no progress in the slightest number of times, and when he came back, it was still a step late after all, and the matter had been done.

"Having said that, but the hearts of the Xia Dynasty are still not to be underestimated, there is Li Linfu above the court, and then Xia Yongkang, as far as I know, they have also enabled a group of talented people, flooding the border army, or don't underestimate the enemy, come steadily." Agudo, the military advisor who had not said a word, finally spoke.

When he opened his mouth, a basin of cold water was poured down.

Yeluduo was a little displeased, and was about to speak, but he heard Agudo continue: "The king and the queen are far-sighted, although my Great Yuan Dynasty has gone through ten years of development, but the conflict between the border Xijing and the Turks has always been continuous, and the top priority is to speed up the development of the Great Yuan, not to ask for war. ”

"Now that the marriage has been promoted, this has shown that the Turks have recognized the status of our Great Yuan state, so that after the marriage, the two countries will consolidate their diplomatic relations, and when the time is ripe, they will jointly send troops to take the Xia Dynasty in one fell swoop, and then divide the land and property, and then try to conquer the Turks."

"If you attack the Xia Dynasty now, the Turks will come from Xijing, and my Great Yuan will have no time to look west, but I will lose the country......"

Although Aguduo didn't say much, every word was critical, although everyone knew that the Xia Dynasty was weak, but after all, there were still hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as they were involved, how could the Turkic goods not sneak attack?

The court fell silent for a while.
