King of Song

Chapter 351

In this battle between Song and Xia, it is inevitable that one hair will affect the whole body.

The situation in the Northwest during the Northern Song Dynasty was so complicated. In addition to Tubo and Xixia, the Liao Kingdom also had super strength and far-reaching influence here, and it was an important political and military force in this region.

If it is purely based on military strength, the most powerful country in East Asia at that time might be the Liao Kingdom of the Khitan people.

Although the strength of the Song army is not weak, but because of the Zhao family emperor's system of guarding against warriors, especially for checks and balances, the combat effectiveness is really limited when the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers.Problems frequently occurred in the battle, many were not enough, and the results of specific battles were also at a disadvantage. As for the examples of battles, there are too many examples, such as the disastrous defeat of Emperor Taizong's morale at the Gaoliang River...

As a result, the Northern Song Dynasty was always very useless in terms of external affairs, and the reputation of being poor and weak has never changed.

It is impossible for the Liao Kingdom to be unaware of such a big event in the northwest. Even if it is not directly involved, it still has influence and interests.The countries in the East restrict each other, use and contain each other, maintaining a seemingly deformed balance.No matter which side has a problem, the check and balance does not mean that it is completely out of balance, but at least it is inevitable to shake.

The Liao Kingdom is very powerful, and even tried to destroy the Song Dynasty at first, and then dominate the world, but in fact it did not succeed.As early as the Yelu Deguang period, Shi Jingtang of the Jin Dynasty after the fall of the Liao Kingdom occupied the Central Plains, and even entered the city of Bianjing, but eventually retreated.

As for the reason, one reason is that the land of the Central Plains is not that important to the nomadic Khitan people. In the words of the Khitan people, although it is very good here, there is no grassland, so the attraction is naturally weak.Secondly, Khitan did not have enough strength to control the Central Plains. Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty had already raised troops in Hedong, and Yelu Deguang had no choice but to retreat back to avoid trouble.

Later, Song Taizong wanted to regain the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, and the army went to the north, and the final battle of Gaolianghe was due to some mistakes in Song Taizong's strategy and the unfavorable cooperation between the generals.The final failure is embarrassing and has become an eternal regret.More than [-] troops were buried under the city of Youzhou, and Song Taizong himself was shot by an arrow. General Yang Ye died in battle, leaving behind the legend of the Yang family that has been passed down through the ages.

During the reign of Zhenzong, Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo of the Liao Kingdom and Emperor Yelu Longxu of Shengzong also led an army to march south. They had already reached the bank of the Yellow River and threatened Bianjing.But in the Battle of Chanzhou, Song Zhenzong, with the support of Kou Zhun, drove himself to conquer, boosted morale, and stopped the Liao army.As a result, the two sides have a relatively evenly matched situation.The Liao Kingdom did not have the strength to destroy the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was also unable to regain its strength. Neither party could do anything to the other. In the end, they had to negotiate peace and signed the Chanyuan Alliance.The Song Dynasty bought peace by presenting old coins, and it was comparable to the Liao Kingdom as a brotherly country, maintaining a relatively peaceful situation.However, it was the Song Dynasty that was at a disadvantage, and the Liao Kingdom was relatively in an advantageous position. At least they got a lot of old coins every year for no reason.

As a result, the Liao Kingdom established its status as the largest country in the East, and its influence was even greater.Because of its remote location and relatively weak strength, Tubo did not participate in many struggles and conflicts of interest in the war of nations.Although their strength is the fourth largest country, they have always regarded themselves as the fourth largest country in the East.But after all, because the frequency of participating in major events in the early days is too small, they are not ranked high.

On the contrary, the relationship between Song, Liao, and Xixia is more complicated.

The three countries attacked each other, but relatively speaking, it was the Song Dynasty that was at a disadvantage or had more wars.Although there were wars and disputes between Liao and Xixia, they were a minority after all.Both countries are in a hostile relationship with the Song Dynasty, and there are often wars.The most obvious reason is that the Central Plains and South of the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty were prosperous and prosperous, which made the grassland nomads jealous and wanted to seize by means of war.

Relatively speaking, the relationship between Liao and Xixia is not bad, at least in a relatively stable state.Because the Liao Kingdom needed a strong Xixia to contain the Song Dynasty, we must know that relatively speaking, the first side of the Northern Song Dynasty was the Xixia, and the damage caused by the party members to the Song Dynasty far exceeded that of the Khitan people.

Relatively speaking, the Song and Xia battles were fought more often because of the existence of Xixia, which contained almost half of the troops of the Song Dynasty, as well as a large amount of manpower and material resources.To put it another way, if there is no Xixia, the Song Dynasty can free up its hands and accumulate all its strength to deal with Liao.

Once the Song Dynasty occupied the northwest land and obtained the land for raising horses, the combat effectiveness of the Song army would also increase greatly.In this way, the Song Dynasty's strength against the Liao State will more than triple, which is absolutely unbearable for the Liao State.They were already evenly matched with each other, and they had a slight upper hand during the Liao Dynasty, so they could not stand the toss.

Furthermore, without Xixia as a confidant, the people of the Song Dynasty will keep their eyes on the Youyun Sixteen States, which is a great shame to the people of the Central Plains.You must know that most of the north of Yanshan Mountain is grassland and mountains. Relatively speaking, the land where the Sixteen States of Youyun is located is a plain, a rich agricultural area, and a relatively prosperous place in the Liao Kingdom.To be honest, if the Khitan hadn't obtained the Youyun Sixteen States, their strength would never have grown so quickly.Once lost, the strength will inevitably lose a large part.Between a gain and a loss, there are not a few who turn from strong to weak.

It is no exaggeration to say that the so-called Nanjing Youzhou of the Liao people has surpassed their original capital, Shangjing. The population is comparable, but the city and business are more prosperous.Yanshan Mountain is a barrier, but also a sharp knife, a pot of boiling water hanging over the head of the Song Dynasty, it is the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom must be held firmly in their hands, so the people of the Liao Kingdom are absolutely unwilling to give up the sixteen prefectures of Youyun no matter what of.

In addition to absolute force and defense, the best way is to make the Song Dynasty have no time to take care of it.Therefore, the existence of Xixia is a good thing for the Liao Kingdom, and it is the largest and most effective containment of the Song Dynasty.It is precisely because of this that they also deliberately support Xixia at certain times.Once the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Xixia tends to become tense, the Liao Kingdom will confer the title of the Xixia king and give solidarity.

There was no lack of insightful people in the Song Dynasty, who had already seen the problem and proposed a solution to the problem.For example, Wang Anshi believed that if he wanted to defeat Liao, he had to defeat Xixia and break his right arm. Of course, he needed to start from Hehuang Tubo...

Wang Xianggong, who wants to restore the old territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, has seen through the problem and has actually begun to solve it...

Of course, some people may say that if the Liao Kingdom directly occupied the land of Hetao where Xixia is located, its strength would be even stronger, and it would become a superpower across the east and west and dominate the north.As a result, the Song Dynasty was persecuted in all directions, at least in the Song and Liao battles, it must be more powerful and take the overall initiative.

But things will never be as easy as imagined, and there are always many unexpected things in many cases.

The Liao Lord also knew very well that Xixia itself was a fierce and brave Northwest wolf. There were hundreds of thousands of armored warriors in the country, and most of them were elites with strong combat effectiveness.What's more, the Li family has been operating in the Northwest for hundreds of years. From the initial Dingnan Five States to the current Xixia Kingdom with a territory of thousands of miles, it can be said that the foundation is deep.

If you want to swallow it, you have to pay a very heavy price, and it is hard to say whether it will be successful or not.It is very likely that you will not be able to eat meat, and you may still smell fishy all over your body. No one wants to do something like losing your wife and losing your army.

Insufficient strength, not being able to do it is one thing, not to mention that the Song Dynasty would never allow such a situation to happen. The Liao Kingdom has self-knowledge and does not want to do such a wasteful thing.Therefore, the Liao lords of all dynasties never had such irrational thoughts at all.The view of the Three Kingdoms, fighting each other, restricting each other, and this situation has been maintained.

The situation of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu after the Eastern Han Dynasty was very similar.It's just that the strength of the Liao Kingdom is not up to the level of the Wei Kingdom back then, so some things are destined not to be unreasonable.

For Xixia, they have a natural hostile relationship with the Song Dynasty.If the Xixia people want to be independent, it is impossible to completely separate from the Song Dynasty in name. The stubborn and face-saving Song Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats will never agree. This is the most fundamental contradiction.Li Yuanhao had tried to do this back then, but ended in failure.

Even though the Song Dynasty acquiesced in Xixia's de facto independence, many times due to conflicts of interest and economic reasons, frictions continued and wars were inevitable.

The military power of Xixia seems to be strong, and the army is very elite, but it is only a small country in the northwest border, and it cannot be compared with the Song Dynasty in terms of national strength.Under such circumstances, it will be very difficult for Xixia to simply rely on its own strength to fight against the Song Dynasty. No matter what the consideration is, it is always right to maintain a relatively stable relationship with the Song Dynasty.

Of course, when the relationship between the Song Dynasty was at odds, it was necessary to accept the canonization of the Liao Kingdom and maintain a cooperative relationship with it.Even Li Yuanhao had his last words when he was dying. If Xixia wants to exist in peace, it must be canonized by Song and Liao, and maintain good relations with the two countries.To put it bluntly, Xixia, like Hehuang Tubo, also wanted to have a good relationship between Song and Liao.

Li Yuanhao has been strong all his life, directly enthroned as the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and fought for his whole life, which can be described as very strong.To have such an experience in the end is completely a lesson learned in blood.Li Liangzuo, who came to the throne later, was young and experienced the chaos of Wuzang, and now the emperor Li Bingchang is also a baby.The two monarchs of Xixia are young and destined to be far less powerful than Li Yuanhao, so the national policy has not changed.

In the situation of the "chaotic" war of the Three Kingdoms, the difference is that Xixia itself is stronger, so in this process, the autonomy is stronger, and more benefits can be obtained, and the dependence on any party is not too high.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This time, Xixia sent troops to fight against the Song Dynasty, but did not take the initiative to inform the Liao Kingdom.

After all, they had just accepted the canonization of the Song Dynasty emperor not long ago, which was equivalent to abandoning the Liao Kingdom, although this kind of thing is not uncommon and very common.But once it happened, it would really damage Liao's face and make it a little embarrassing.

Because of the short time, Song and Xia clashed again, and Xixia had no time to ease relations with Liao, so it had to offend the two major suzerains at the same time.Xixia also had no choice but to suffer from being dumb for the time being, and did not take the initiative to inform the Liao Kingdom.In fact, for them, it was a good strategy to ask the Liao Kingdom to support them from the east, but now they couldn't open their mouths no matter what.

After all, it was just a formality. Regardless of whether Xixia informed or not, the Liao Kingdom must have known the news and had been paying attention to the development and changes of the situation.

In Youzhou City, Yelu Yixin stood at the top of the city, looked to the south, and said softly, "How wonderful it is to see the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south!"

"His Royal Highness Zhao is thinking that one day in the future, my Khitan cavalry will go south to drink the Yellow River?" A person behind him asked in a deep voice.

Yelu Yixin didn't look back, but just stared at the south silently, and said softly: "I'm not the only one, I think all aspiring Daliao warriors have such thoughts, but what's the use of us thinking? Your Majesty has no thoughts, It's all in vain."

After finishing speaking, Yelv Yixin sighed softly, as if he was very disappointed, and there was something indescribable in his eyes, which was very complicated.

The person behind him said in a low voice: "Yes, Your Majesty only cares about hunting with bowls. How can there be a grand plan of Emperor Shengzong? If His Royal Highness Zhao Wang was not there, I am afraid that the government would be in a mess. In front of Emperor Renzong of the Southern Dynasty At that time, His Majesty still paid respects, it really is a rare harmony!" It sounds like a compliment, but when you think about it carefully, it is so sour, it is obviously ironic, and there is a lot of dissatisfaction.

Yelu Yixin twitched his mouth, and said with a faint smile: "It's a coincidence, it's really interesting, it's rare that the emperors of the two countries are so kind, it's really rare in a hundred years! But I heard that the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Zhao Xu, is very disturbed points!"

"The Southern Dynasty seems to have a good seed... But, let him toss about, Zhao Guangyi was defeated back then, what can he do? The emperor of the Southern Dynasty is not as good as the next generation... Huh! The Southern Dynasty wants to beat the Song Dynasty It's just a fool's dream!" The people behind obviously didn't take Zhao Xu seriously, but they didn't know whether it was because of the arrogance of the hostile relationship, or because they didn't like it with reason.

Yelu Yixin was silent for a moment, then said softly: "We also have a good seedling in the Daliao Kingdom!"

The person behind him knew very well who their Master Zhao was implying.

Yelu Yixin came to Youzhou this time with a mission to accompany Prince Yelujun on his inspection tour of Nanjing.Yelu Jun was already thirteen or fourteen years old. He was already talented and intelligent, and now he became even better, and he performed very well. He was much stronger than Yelu Hongji in terms of courage and strategy.

At present, the people in the Liao Kingdom are unanimously optimistic about Yelu Jun, and they believe that the prince will be the master of ZTE in the Liao Kingdom, even comparable to the holy emperor Yelu Longxu.It stands to reason that this is a good thing, but Yelv Yixin couldn't be happier.

Yelu Hongji was just hunting outside with a bowl, and he had no intention of political affairs. Zhao Wang Yelu Yixin who assisted the government seemed to have become the number one powerful figure in the Liao Kingdom. It can be said that he was under one person and above ten thousand.Power is something magical, how can you give up so easily once you come into contact with it?

Yelv Yixin is enjoying this feeling very much now, and he is not willing to let go at all, and he does not want his power to be damaged in the slightest.But the prince Yelujun grew up gradually, performed very well, and began to gradually participate in political affairs.First of all, in this way, Yelu Yixin's power will inevitably be shared a lot, and his importance will also decline. The era of monopolizing power may pass.

Secondly, Yelujun's views are different from his own in many aspects, which made it difficult for him to do so, and the situation became more and more difficult.Yelu Jun's attitude towards him was not good either, and Yelu Yixin vaguely felt a sense of urgency.It is very dangerous to compete with the future prince for power. Once the future prince ascends the throne, he will undoubtedly be a person who is dangerous to the imperial power.What's more, Yelujun's attitude towards him is not good, and he even has a little disgust.

This is even more terrifying. Yelv Yixin, who is obsessed with power, is very afraid, very afraid of the day when the prince grows up.Although he intends to establish a good relationship with Yelu Jun, the results seem to be mediocre and there is not much progress.

This time, Yelu Hongji wanted his son to come out to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Liao Kingdom and have some experience, so he let him come to Youzhou, Nanjing.When the prince goes on tour, he must have a responsible minister to assist him, and Yelv Yixin is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.It just so happens that he himself wants to take this opportunity to get in touch with Yelu Jun more, and make an effort to ease the relationship between each other. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, then...then we can only think of another way!

From far away, a boy's shout was heard in the distance, Yelu Yixin turned his head, and saw a boy and a little girl trotting towards him with a smile.It was Yelu Jun who went out to see and experience, and his little sister Yelu Tri.

It stands to reason that Yelu Tri cannot accompany him when he is away from home.However, he is the most beloved daughter of Liao Lord Yelu Hongji and Empress Xiao Guanyin, so it is difficult to refuse her repeated begging.

It’s knowledge in name, but it’s actually just sightseeing. If that’s the case, why not take the princess with you?No, the crown prince took the princess sister for a walk around the city wall just now.

At this time, Yelujun's youthful nature was undoubtedly revealed, and it was impossible to tell that he was the bright and alert young prince.It would have been nice if it had always been like this, Yelu Yixin looked at it, with a little more helplessness in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness, princess, are you having fun?" Yelu Yixin stepped forward and asked, the etiquette was barely in place, but there was no respect.One is because Yelu Yixin has his own ideas, and the other is that it is King Zhao, and the prince has to be called Uncle Wang. As a respected elder, it is understandable to be arrogance.

Yelujun glanced lightly, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.The princess Yelutri, who is getting older but still innocent, said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, I had a great time. Nanjing is much more interesting than Shangjing!"

"His Royal Highness, how about you?" Yelv Yixin's words were somewhat implying to test the school.

Yelujun was silent for a moment, looked up at the mountains and land in the distance, and said softly: "Youzhou is a good place, with Yanshan Mountain behind it, Hebei controlled in the south, and connected to the east and west, it is an excellent place. This kind of city is really the best choice. It’s a good place. No wonder the Song people have always wanted to take back Youyun Sixteen States, but they didn’t expect it to be a treasure.”

Hearing this, Yelu Yixin's eyes moved, he really is an excellent prince!When going out for a trip, the first thing is not to play, but to observe.At the age of twelve or thirteen, it is really amazing to be able to see the extraordinary geographical location of Youzhou.

"Not bad, not bad!" Even though he had some thoughts in his heart, Yelu Yixin said: "The prince can summarize it and hand it over to His Majesty..."

"Ok!"

"Then what does His Highness the Crown Prince think of the land opposite?" Yelu Yixin suddenly had a whim, pointing to Tubo in the south and asked in a deep voice.He really wanted to know Yelu Jun's attitude towards the Song Dynasty.

"Southern Dynasty?!" Yelujun looked at the vast wilderness in the south, his eyes were a little confused for a while, and he couldn't answer.As for the reason, I don't know if it was because he was so young, or he had some concerns, or some embarrassment, but he didn't say a word.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, but was interrupted by the little princess Yelu Tri, who only heard her say: "The queen mother said, it's better not to fight and kill. It's safe and sound, and it's a good thing for the people of Song and Liao. .”

Does Yelujun think so?Not knowing why, Yelv Yixin suddenly realized something.Yelujun is excellent, but he is still young after all, and many of his ideas or beliefs are influenced by others.It was exactly what Yelu Terry said, that the only person who could have such a subtle influence on Yelu Jun... was Empress Xiao Guanyin.

All of a sudden, Yelv Yixin realized that there seemed to be another stumbling block on the way to maintain his monstrous power!

Empress Xiao Guanyin, a rare beauty, is also a talented woman, especially in poetry and poetry.It is precisely because of this that she admires the culture of the Southern Dynasty very much, and her feelings for the Southern Dynasty couple have naturally changed a little...

If it's an ordinary woman, it's fine, there's nothing wrong with that.However, her identity is the queen, so her actions inevitably caused many adverse effects, such as driving the style of the Han family in the Liao Kingdom to become more and more popular.At the same time, as the crown prince's biological mother, her subtle influence on Yelujun is self-evident.

At the same time, Yelv Yixin had a feeling that the queen always looked at him in a strange way, unfriendly but also slightly hostile.Could it be that he saw his threat to Yelu Jun?Yelu Hongji didn't care, but the queen noticed it. This is definitely not a good thing.

In the future, when Yelu Hongji dies, Xiao Guanyin will be the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom is not just a title, she has great power. Will I still have a good life?
Also, Yelujun's attitude towards him may also be influenced by Xiao Guanyin.Therefore, Yelu Yixin suddenly felt that the opponent who needed the most attention at present might not be Yelu Jun, but the queen Xiao Guanyin.

It turned out to be a woman, Yelu Yixin couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart!
Yelujun, who was silent for a long time, waved his hands and said: "The Southern Dynasty is certainly good, but if you want to send troops to the south, you have to consider the actual situation. Back then, the Empress Dowager Chengtian and Emperor Shengzong went to the imperial conquest, but they returned in vain. We still have to consider the lessons learned from the past. of.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many soldiers on the border, and there were many ponds and ponds, to prevent me from going south towards the iron cavalry.Therefore, without full confidence, it is irrational to rush to the south. "

Yelv Yixin once again felt that he had underestimated the young prince. He was not completely influenced by Xiao Guanyin, but had his own views, which seemed to be more cautious.This is completely different from Yelu Hongji's careless and rough personality, but the more cautious people are, the more likely they are to be suspicious and suspicious!
Trouble, really trouble!

"Tangpo is nothing to worry about. Without the barrier of mountains, the Song Dynasty's defense line is relatively weak, and it is not too difficult to break through." Yelu Yixin said: "If the Song Dynasty goes all out, we will be under great pressure, but right now the Song Dynasty is fighting against the enemy. When Xixia is at war, it is inevitable that things will not be able to take care of each other, this is a good opportunity for us!"

Yelutri's big watery eyes kept turning, and finally looked at Yelu Yixin, and asked, "Is Uncle Wang taking an examination of the imperial brother?"

Yelv Yixin just smiled lightly, but didn't answer.

"Hehe, although Xixia and Song Dynasty are at war, but the war has just begun, and the result is still unknown." Yelujun said: "If Xixia loses to Song Dynasty, then the Song army will bring the power of the Northwest victory to resist us. , I'm afraid it will be thankless!"

"Is His Royal Highness not optimistic about Xi Xia?"

"It's hard to say, but Xixia sent troops rashly. They didn't take advantage of it last fall. If we fight again in the spring, what will happen?" Yelujun said: "Liang Yi's way of burying his sister and brother...huh...let's start Let's see, I'm afraid they won't be able to take advantage of the Northwest. Besides, if Liang Yibu tells us, it would be fine if the two families cooperate to send troops. But if we send troops now, wouldn't it be cheaper for Xixia? In the end, we can't get it Well, it’s just cheaper for Xi Xia!”

Obviously, the Liao Kingdom is somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Xixia backed Liao and voted for Song Dynasty.

Yelu Yixin smiled and said: "Although the outcome of the war is still unknown, there is already news today that the Xixia army stormed Dashun City, and Gyeongju may be in danger! Moreover, from the beginning of the war to the present, Xixia has always had the upper hand of!"

"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and it is meaningless to compare the length of time. Even if the Xixia army storms Dashun City, it will only count if it is captured!" Yelujun seemed to think of something, and laughed, "Last year Xixia attacked once. Dashun City ended in failure, I heard that the guard of Dashun City did not change this time!"

Well!Yelu Yixin has already, he didn't tell Yelujun about the Northwest Songxia War, but the Crown Prince knows about the guard of Dashun City, that is to say, he has another source of information?But I don't know it at all. This is definitely a terrible thing.Yelu Yixin became more and more worried. The prince's strength is extraordinary, and he seems to be on guard against himself everywhere, which is definitely not a good thing!

Yelu Yixin suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and finally said: "What His Royal Highness said is true, the guards of Dashun City are still Lin Zhao and Jing Sili."

Lin Zhao?

Hearing this name, the little princess Yelu Tri's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked in surprise, "But when you went to my country as an envoy that year, you saved your mother and my envoys from the Song Dynasty?"

"That's right, it's him!"

"Is he okay? I heard that he committed a crime and went to prison last year, and he will be executed?" The little princess had heard the envoy He Zhengdan from the Song Dynasty mention this matter last year, and it scared the little princess very much.

The little princess can always remember Lin Zhao's handsome and resolute face, elegant literary talent, and that warm embrace that year by the Liaohe River.If it weren't for Lin Zhao, their mother and daughter might have died at the hands of the rebels.Yelu Tri was very grateful in his heart, and he had a very special feeling for Lin Zhao in his young heart.

There is also a special concern. From time to time, I want to know the news of Lin Zhao, and at the same time, I have been deeply looking forward to when I can meet.

On weekdays, as long as you hear a little bit of news, you will be extremely excited.At the same time, her mother, Xiao Guanyin, seemed to be doing the same, but besides the excitement, there was also a trace of inexplicable shyness and worry.

Yelu Yixin said: "Oh, Lin Zhao was later released without charge. It is said that he was framed by Li Fugui, the magistrate of Qingzhou in the Song Dynasty. Speaking carefully, he was also responsible for the chaos between the Song Dynasty and Xixia."

His Royal Highness King Zhao didn't pay much attention to Lin Zhao, and they didn't have much contact with each other. In his opinion, what Lin Zhao did in Liao Kingdom was just a matter of tongue.As for participating in the quelling of Xiao Hujian's chaos, it is completely a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.He even didn't know that the reason why Xiao Guanyin was so afraid of him was entirely because of Lin Zhao's words.

"This kid is interesting!" Yelu Jun said this suddenly, especially since he was younger, it was inevitable that he would feel funny when he said such words.He also paid attention to Lin Zhao, and they had contacts with each other when they were in Liaodong.The little white dragon under Lin Zhao's seat was a gift from him.They were still rivals at one time, but because Lin Zhao saved his mother and sister, their attitude naturally changed.

But for some reason, Yelujun had a very special feeling in his heart, as if this Lin Zhao was his natural opponent.At first Lin Zhao was far away from the Liao Kingdom, and he didn't care much when he returned to the Song Dynasty, but as the series of Lin Zhao's deeds in the Song Dynasty spread, Yelujun paid more attention.

The princess of Liao Kingdom who was in Tubo had sent a message back to tell them what happened in Qingtang City last year. A young man who can make Tubo Zanpu afraid and Xixia Guoxiang deflated must not be underestimated.Perhaps one day, Lin Zhao will be a formidable opponent. Yelujun has a vague feeling of this in his heart, and even has a little expectation.

"Uncle Wang, you need to be cautious about the war in the Song Dynasty, and don't act too hastily. If you have an idea, you can write a memorial to the emperor and let the ministers discuss it. For the present plan, let's wait for the situation in Qingzhou and see. What can Xixia do? If both sides suffer, some things can still be considered."

"Yes!" Although Yelujun is only a young man, he is the prince after all, and Yelujun dare not be too disobedient.After a moment of silence, he asked again: "His Royal Highness, how about letting the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Academy practice near Youzhou first?"

"Okay!" Yelujun thought for a while, then nodded slightly, it seemed that this was a very assertive prince.

"Terry, let's go, go back and have something to eat, and go hunting in the afternoon!" Hearing her brother's shout, the little princess Yelu Terry came back to her senses, and the tall and mighty big brother Lin Zhao lingered in her mind.
