Chapter 744

In the northwest, in Xingqing Prefecture, Li Ganshun cordially met this important official from the Liao Dynasty, and the Northern Court Xuanwei envoy Xiao Wuna Lao Master Xiao.

He also held a banquet in the palace to entertain this important official of the Great Liao Dynasty, and Renduo Zongbao accompanied Wei Ming Awu and a group of important officials of the Western Xia Dynasty.

Halfway through the wine, Li Ganshun, who was blushing, first thanked Yelu Hongji, who was about to become his father-in-law, for his or her ordnance assistance to the Western Xia, and then once again mentioned that he hoped that the Liao Dynasty could stand up and uphold justice and take charge of the land occupied by the Northern Song Dynasty.

Hearing this, Xiao Wuna took a sip of the wine calmly on his face. "The king said this. Daxia and Song were at war. The two sides had always suffered defeats. Even if the three states were now seized by Song, although the king said that it was the old land of Daxia, in the eyes of the people of Song, before Daxia was established, it was the territory of the Song people..."

Unexpectedly, Li Ganshun was sarcastic to the important minister of Northern Liao, who had been sarcastic for a long time. When Renduo Zongbao saw that the momentum was wrong, he quickly squeezed out his smile, picked up his glass and came to Xiao Wuna to toast a glass of wine to the old driver.

"We naturally remember the help of the Great Liao Dynasty to our Xia Kingdom. However, now, these three states are invaded by the Song Kingdom. Yanzhou is not only a place with the wealth of Daxia, but also less than 400 miles from the hinterland of Daxia. If the Song Kingdom intends to invade, it will be difficult to compete with the current troops of Daxia."

"I also know these situations. However, although our Great Liao has millions of tigers, its territory is vast and there are many areas that need to be defended. Tunneling troops to aid Western Xia will make our Great Liao territory empty.

What's more, once the army moves, food and grass will come first. With the current combat power of the Song State, if our Daliao sends fewer troops, it will be useless. If the army is concentrated to move south, it will be very expensive..."

Listening to Xiao Wuna's slow statement of facts and reasoning, in a word, he can't get up early without profit, even if the Western Xia is now about to become a country with Da Liao, even if the Western Xia and Da Liao have a relationship of losing their lips and cold teeth.

However, Xiao Wuna had to consider the current Great Liao. The Great Liao was still a huge monster. However, the decades of slackness in the national affairs of the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty had already made the people in the Liao Dynasty miserable and complained. Moreover, the northern border troubles have always caused great headaches for the Great Liao.

At this time, it is okay to mobilize one or two hundred thousand troops, but one big problem is that if you help Xixia, the Great Liao Dynasty cannot be without any interest.

Since Xiao Wuna submitted a memorial to Yelu Hongji, he had also received the emperor's edict. The meaning was very clear. If Xixia wants the Liao Dynasty to send troops, of course, it can be, but the money and food must be supplied by Xixia.

In addition, half of the land obtained will be returned to the Great Liao Dynasty. In this way, the emperor can explain that the Great Liao minister Gong agreed to send troops.

After receiving Yelu Hongji's handwritten edict, Xiao Wuna locked himself in his room in the inn outside Yanzhou City for a whole day without leaving.

He was both anxious and helpless. Xiao Wuna originally thought that after his easy-to-understand relationship between the Great Liao and the Western Xia, he would make the emperor decide to send troops south immediately.

But I never thought that this would be the result. At this time, I still wanted to wait for a price. Xiao Wuna felt that her mood was simply like she wanted to use her old and weak body in her seventies to get rid of her helplessness and desolation.

However, Xiao Wuna is a minister and Yelu Hongji is the king. This is what the emperor means. Even if Xiao Wuna has thousands of plans, he can only follow his fate at this moment.

He followed the Western Xia envoy and the Western Xia Privy Councilor Pochao Xinde to Xingqing Prefecture to represent the Emperor of the Great Liao to have a good discussion with the Xixia king and the Xixia court.

Hearing Xiao Wuna's words, Renduo Zongbao's smile on his face couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the king Li Gan.

I have to say that Li Ganshun is also a character. Even though he is not yet in his prime, his qi cultivation skills are quite profound. After these dozens of breaths of adjustment, the unpleasant expression on his face has disappeared.

Hearing Xiao Wuna's words, Li Ganshun frowned slightly. After thinking about it secretly, he showed a very difficult expression. "Mr. Xiao, you have come to my Daxia. I believe you are quite familiar with the current situation in Daxia."

"With the national strength of Daxia today, even if you give it all, it is unlikely that it will be difficult to supply the Tiger Army of Daliao..."

"Is this the king said too hypocritical, right?" Xiao Wuna smiled and his eyes fell on the pretentious Li Ganshun. Although this kid was a little clever, he was still too young to fight wits and courage with an old driver who had been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades.

"I am hereby order to discuss military affairs with the lord. If the lord is still lucky at this moment and wants to exchange hundreds of thousands of tigers for our Great Liao to work hard for the Western Xia at the lowest price, it would be really not to take my Great Liao seriously." At this moment, Xiao Wuna's tone was already filled with anger and did not speak out.

But it also made the monarch and ministers of the Xixia dynasty feel deeply stressed. Li Ganshun moved his neck a little uncomfortable, and then said with a forced smile. "What did the old man say? At this moment, my Daxia has reached a critical moment of survival. Apart from seeking the protection of the Daliao Shangguo, I cannot have a second way to go."

"But what I said is true. After all, the population of Xia Country is only more than 3 million, with a large land and a sparse population, and a barren output. I also asked the emperor of the country to consider the difficulties of Xia Country..."

"The king said so straightforwardly. If Xiao advances step by step, it seems that my Daliao is taking advantage rather than helping his allies. Since that is the case, I would like to ask the king to give enough benefits to my emperor, so that my emperor can convince me that the civil and military officials of the Liao Dynasty are..."

Although the banquet was not a Hongmen Banquet, the banquet was extremely difficult. After the banquet was over, Xiao Wuna raised his front and quickly walked out of the Xixia Palace with satisfaction, and headed straight for the residence arranged for him by the king of Xia.

However, the face of the king of Xixia Li Ganshun looked extremely ugly. After drinking two sips of sobering soup, he threw the silver bowl containing sobering soup aside. The maid was so scared that she cleaned up tremblingly, and then she carefully left the imperial study room.

"The Northern Liao Dynasty was too much. Not only did I ask Daxia to supply their 100,000 people to eat horses, but I also asked Daxia to ced large areas of land from Dahengshui to the south, Nuanquan Peak to the north, and to the west to the edge of Shahai.
