"It doesn't take long!" Nineteen's fingers tapped lightly on the table, "May I ask Lord Xiao, how many soldiers and horses can this Youzhou, this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and can 300,000 people fill it? With the newly defeated Khitan army, how sure are they that they can keep this 300,000 army out? Don't forget, among the sixteen Yanyun Prefectures, there are probably not a few people who are dedicated to the Central Plains Wang Division. ”

"So what?" Xiao Han stood up and said, "The 300,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom will come and try it to see who will kill the deer!"

Nineteen hands pressed falsely, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, why bother, attack the sixteen states of Yanyun, my family master doesn't want to! You can sit down and have a good talk, and if you can talk about good things at the wine table, why bother with knives and guns, right?"

Xiao Han sat down slowly, and for the first time really looked at Nineteen, and said: "Young man, you, very good, come to Khitan, with your talent, don't worry that the Great Khan will not reuse you." Why do you have to serve the mediocre emperor of the Central Plains?"

Nineteen blinked his eyes slyly and said, "Lord Xiao is falsely praised, my lord is probably mistaken, he is serving the Lord, not for the emperor." ”

Xiao Han laughed dryly twice, and said disdainfully: "How much stronger is Du Chongwei than Shi Chonggui? How much can Du Chongwei take a fancy to you if you are a great talent like you, you can't stay by Du Chongwei's side and give him advice, but you are called as a slave and come to my Khitan at all odds with all kinds of dangers?

Good birds choose trees to perch on, and good ministers choose their masters. Leng Gongzi won't not understand this truth!"

Nineteen's face changed slightly, and then he smiled: "Didn't Mr. Guoqiao also wander inside and outside Yanmen Pass back then?

Guoqiao, that is, Sang Weihan, Sang Weihan is a national overseas Chinese, and it is a little inappropriate to call Sang Weihan an overseas Chinese, so the word Mr. is added to the back, taking the meaning of its first birth. Here, Nineteen is talking about the old thing when Sang Weihan persuaded the Khitan to help Shi Jingjiao.

Xiao Han laughed, and his tone was quite playful: "Du Chongwei can also be called a countryman who treats his son? Besides, Du Chongwei is not Shi Jingjiao." Why don't you take a look at Sang Gong's current situation, it doesn't seem to be good!

Xiao Han arched his hand and said, "As Lord Xiao said, isn't this time coming? There are three sons on the Lord, and there is no need to pass them on to one godson." Lord Xiao, these topics are spreading, and I'm afraid it's not good for Lord Xiao, so why not talk about cooperation?"

"Cooperation?" Xiao Han said with a smile, "Okay, then let's talk about cooperation, when Sang Gong came to see the Great Khan, he came with the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun." I don't know what Leng Gongzi brought with him this time?"

"What do you think Master Xiao should bring next?" Nineteen raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Han pushed away the dish in front of him with one hand, stretched out his index finger, dipped it in the wine, drew a zigzag curve on the table, and said in a low voice: "With this water as the boundary, the north belongs to the Khitan, and the south is at the disposal of Du Gong, and the Khitan fully supports Du Gong, how about it?"

Xiao Han meant that the Yellow River was the boundary, and the north of the Yellow River, including Hebei and Hedong, was all assigned to the Khitan.

Seventeen laughed, shook his head, and said, "In this way, what is left in the Central Plains? Doesn't Lord Xiao hope that my family master will be pointed out by thousands of people, and he will not be able to sleep and eat?"

Xiao Han also said with a smile: "Isn't there still the south? The land of Jianghuai, don't Du Gong plan to ask for it? The world is so big, why is Du Gong obsessed with this square inch of land." ”

"This square inch is not small!" Seventeen stood up and arched his hand towards Xiao Han, "If Lord Xiao insists on this, he will have nothing to say in the future, so I have to inform my lord of Lord Xiao's intentions, and persuade him to dispel this idea, fight with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and have a good fight, and maybe, he can really take back the sixteen states of Yanyun." The lord ceded the land and sealed the king, and I believe that the territory is not much smaller. ”

With that, Nineteen was leaving.

"Wait, why should Leng Gongzi leave in a hurry?" Xiao Han stopped Nineteen, "Since it is a matter at the wine table, and both parties have to discuss, what kind of gifts does Leng Gongzi think it is more appropriate to bring to the Great Khan?"

Nineteen sat back at the table and said: "Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, since the first emperor has ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Great Khan, the Lord will naturally follow the rules, and the two countries will not offend each other from now on. ”

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Han also laughed, "Young Master Leng do you think this is possible? You can't give the things that originally belonged to my Khitan as a gift to the Great Khan! After making trouble for a long time, my Khitan didn't get anything, so why should the Great Khan support Du Gong? Leng Gongzi, the old man might as well tell you that Du Gong is not the only one who has contact with the old man. ”

"That's true!" Nineteen snapped, "but I'm afraid there won't be a more suitable collaborator than my lord." Do they have an army of 300,000 in their hands?

Didn't the Southern Tang Dynasty always have a close relationship with the Khitan? I thought that if the Great Khan proposed to use the Yellow River as the boundary, the Southern Tang would definitely agree, but the premise was that the Great Khan needed to help the Southern Tang Dynasty defeat the Central Plains. However, if the Great Khan can really defeat the Central Plains, why should he give more than half of it to the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

Xiao Han was speechless for a while, Nineteen was right, these thirty Jin troops were an imminent threat. The battlefield is like a chess game, even if you take the lead, until the end, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

After this big battle, if the Khitan loses and loses the sixteen states of Yanyun, then Shi Chonggui's reputation will definitely be boosted, and the Khitan will no longer have any hope of getting involved in the Central Plains.

Not only that, the young and vigorous Shi Chonggui is likely to take advantage of this opportunity to continue the northern expedition. Having lost the rich land of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and losing this natural barrier, what could the Khitan do to confront the Jin Kingdom?

Shi Chonggui can completely sweep the Bohai Kingdom, the front of the army is directed at the Linhuang Mansion, the Linhuang Mansion is threatened, the national foundation is unstable, those tribes who were originally subordinated to the feet of the Khitan will definitely take advantage of the situation, immediately take refuge in the Jin State, turn the horse's head to deal with the Khitan, intending to tear off a piece of meat from the Khitan's huge body to nourish themselves, is the grassland never like this?

At that time, the Khitan was really in danger.

XIX continued: "It is unlikely that the current emperor will be reconciled with the Great Khan. Between the Khitan and the Great Jin, one side must fall. Isn't it good that the lord of my family is merciful and does not want to see this situation appear, so the two families are reconciled, and the stones that should not be there are removed and the harmonious and peaceful situation that the first emperor was alive will continue to maintain?

If the Khitan insists on cutting another piece of flesh from the body of the Central Plains, Lord Xiao, how long do you think peace between them can be maintained?"
