Lin Feng’s question about the future direction of the Khitan is a question that directly stung the heart.

Since ancient times, there have been countless tribes and nations that have risen and dominated the vast grasslands in the north, and they have led the storm for many years. However, when they reach the grassland invincible, they will face the same question: Should they go south to the Central Plains or to defend the grasslands?

The benefits of going south are obvious. The south is vast and rich in resources and has a large population. The plunder alone can increase one's own strength a lot. As long as you succeed in going south, your national strength will definitely increase dramatically. But going south is also risky. Once you fail, your strength will be greatly damaged, and even the old nests on the grasslands will be occupied by the wolves around you.

In history, there are countless examples of success and failure in going south. The powerful nations such as the Huns, Turks, and Xianbei have hesitated before this question, and even finally were swept away by the tide of history during such hesitation and sway.

Shu Lucheng hesitated for a long time and finally spoke: "Our Great Liao is not a monolithic piece, and the internal ethnic groups are constantly quarreling; the surrounding Tubo, Goguryeo, Dingnan, Tatars, Dangxiang, Mohe, Shiwei and other barbarians are not good people; Yizong even died in the south tragically..."

Lin Feng suddenly understood that Shulucheng belonged to the guardian faction who sticks to the grasslands. He immediately smiled and said, "In fact, in Lin's opinion, whether it is going south or defending steadily, its ultimate goal is to maintain its own strength, but the path he took is different, and all countries in the Central Plains will also encounter this dilemma."

This is exactly what Lin Feng has been saying in front of him, "Walking against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." Now, this is the case with the Liao Kingdom, the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Later Zhou Dynasty. If they cannot be enterprising, diligently cultivate their internal strength, strengthen their bodies outside, and be reborn from the cocoon, they will soon fall into second-rate, or even third-rate, until they destroy the country.

Lin Feng continued to persuade: "In fact, whether to go south or not is the key to the Liao Dynasty's understanding of why it was gone, how to get along with the countries in the Central Plains, or to put it bluntly, how to get along with the Han people in the Central Plains."

Lin Feng is already exhorting the rules. If northern ethnic minorities move south, they can sneak into the night with the wind. For example, Zhao Yong, King Wuling of Zhao, Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei Tuoba Hong, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Li Yuan, who integrates the nation and lives in harmony, they will eventually win the world and win the reputation of eternal generations. If you have to ride a horse and hold a knife to "repave south" and inspire the Han people all over the world to attack them, even if they succeed, they will only end up like the Five Barbarians Invading China, and the end will definitely be a shameful return to the grassland.

Shu Lucheng's eyes lit up, he slapped the table, stared at Lin Feng and asked, "How should Lord Lin think he should get along with the people of the Central Plains? No, the Han people."

Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile. In this era and this scene, he could only listen to the great principles of national integration. He could only say bitterly: "I think the development of a dynasty is actually like a person walking a long way. I believe that only a person who is strong and kind to others can do it for a long time and safely."

In fact, Lin Feng still has an inappropriate metaphor that he did not say: Now the northern ethnic minority is like a strong rogue proletariat, while the southern Han people are like a gentle and gentle rich man; the poor always want to go to the south to grab some family property, but they look down on the rich in the roots and just want to trample them under their feet. However, although the rich are weak, there is a reason why they can become rich, and will they succumb to you?

Shu Lucheng was stunned for a while, and then realized the meaning of Lin Feng's metaphor. He immediately asked excitedly: "It turns out that Lord Lin also agrees that we should deal with the matter on the grassland first and then talk about going south."

Lin Feng nodded with face, but smiled bitterly in his heart. In the long run, he would never want the Khitan and other ethnic minorities to go south to herd their horses. However, at present, the Southern Tang really needed the Khitan to take the pace of the Later Zhou in the north and share the pressure for the future war. This is the contradiction between ideals and reality.

Shu Lucheng slapped his thighs and looked even more excited. He picked up a large bowl of wine and touched Lin Feng, wiped his mouth and said, "Mr. Lin, since we have the same idea, there should be no problem in cooperation. Take out your special warrior training method and mysterious weapon. My Xi tribe will bring out the unparalleled cavalry and riding skills in the world. We will benefit each other. How great is it."

It turned out that you not only liked our weapons, but also our training methods. Lin Feng was excited and asked Lu Cheng's specific ideas.

"It's very simple. You send a few masters to stay and help us Xi tribe train special soldiers. We send a few riding masters to follow you, help you to ** horses and train cavalry. Our Xi tribe and you Shouzhou strengthen daily contacts and trade more. For example, the more steel knives, the better, the price is easy to negotiate, how about it." Shu Lucheng became more and more excited as he spoke, pointing to the steel knives on the table and said.

Lin Feng thought in his mind that the Tang Dynasty special warriors had already gained fame in the world, and there must be many countries that covet stealing their troops. If they could use this as intellectual property rights now and earn extra money on the grass, it would be a good thing. As for weapons, they would have a big killer behind them. Cold weapons will sooner or later be eliminated. It is the main thing to earn more future capital now.

After figuring it out, Lin Feng immediately smiled and nodded: "As long as the Liao Kingdom does not object, I have no objection."

Shu Lucheng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, in this Liao Dynasty, there are a few people who dare to say something wrong with my King Xi's mansion. This little thing is not enough to waste."

Speaking of this, Shulucheng squeezed his eyes to Lin Feng and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, my Nas really likes you, you won't think about it anymore."

Lin Feng immediately shook his head. My family was originally very harmonious, but you suddenly stuffed a tigress into me. Is it true? Besides, I am the "grand princess" of the Inas Xi Mansion. I am afraid that the greatest possibility of entering the Liao Palace as a concubine in the future. I dare not rush to the top.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Lin Feng immediately pretended to be a smart businessman. He started to worry about the number of people sent by both sides, the requirements and how to exchange weapons. Finally, Shu Lu, who was entangled by him, slapped his chest and responded to all Lin Feng's request: both sides sent three best men to stay; a good steel knife was used to replace four adult strong horses; both sides traded at least twice a year.

However, Lin Feng was also rebelled by the old thief Shulu, who was kind-hearted and unkind, and had to agree to give Nas the most complete book of lyrics, and then give him five sets of cheongsams, breeches to the old guy's back tent, and five sets of toys to the "Khitan Warriors" he worked hard every night.

Looking at the bitter look that Lin Feng finally showed, Shu Lucheng, who was satisfied, laughed and stood up, raised his right palm into the air, and said loudly: "Come on, Lord Lin, let us brim the high fives to make an alliance."

Lin Feng knew that this was the highest standard covenant method on the grassland, so he immediately stood up solemnly to slam Shu Lucheng and then put his palms together.

"Good brother, come, we won't go back tonight without getting drunk." Shu Lucheng looked overjoyed, pulled Lin Feng down and arranged several big bowls in front of Lin Feng in a row.

Lin Feng immediately scoffed at Shu Lucheng's clumsy drinking tactics, "Cut, I didn't even have a bite of meat after I got in the tent. You old guy want to take a hard drink while I'm on an empty stomach."

That night, Lin Feng successfully poured Shu Lucheng down, but the old guy called a few helpers in before falling down, and Lin Feng finally got drunk and became unconscious.

In the early morning of May 12, Lin Feng finally woke up from his drunkenness. He stretched out his hands and found that there were human bodies around him. He was so scared that he sat up and frightened. Zhou Ehuang, who was frightened, quickly got up and lit the candle.

Lin Feng turned around and found that the person on the other side was Yaya and Feifei, and just put his heart in his stomach.

Time is precious. If this continues, it will inevitably be drunk by Xiao Fengshan and the chiefs of various tribes. They have to set off quickly. Lin Feng made up his mind and stopped sleeping. He went to the tent next door to wake up Feng Jingyun. Lin Renzhao, asking them to instruct everyone to step up the transaction, pack up their luggage, and return after lunch. Then, Lin Feng called Zhou Ehuang, Yaya, Feifei and Zhang Yuewen, and rode out on Chen Ai to play, and just hiding from the wine.

Near noon, Lin Feng called Ge Chang's tattooed brother Hu Yanjie, former imperial soldier Ma Jie, and Xiao Hai, the sharpshooter in Guiguan area, to the tent, and closed the door and gave them a long time to keep them, and took Shu Lucheng's men. Although the three of them were not very happy, they all followed Lin Feng's instructions and stayed with special missions.

During lunch, Lin Feng and You Jianyan first said goodbye to Xiao Fengshan and Yelu Long, and forced himself to drink two bowls of milk wine. He brought Shu Lucheng's three jockeys and boarded the boat as if he was running away. He turned the bow of the boat and pulled the sails to escape from this troubled grassland.

However, when Lin Feng was leisurely playing piano and compose music with Zhou Ehuang on the warship, playing games with Yaya and Feifei, and discussing machinery manufacturing with Jiaqi, he went east across the vast sea, but Kang Renjie and the others were in big trouble in Hirado, Japan.
