Since the Western Expedition to wipe out the Naiman tribe, Li Liangzuo added the Northern Protectorate to the Great Xia Kingdom. At the same time, various troops originally stationed in the Northern Protectorate began to evacuate. The defense of the Northern Protectorate was completely handed over to the Northern Protectorate Army led by Li Yi. The first step of Li Liangzuo's attack in western China has been basically completed. Since the losses of each unit are quite large, the lost troops will be trained in the next period of time.

Since the Xia army's western expedition, the Liaodong region has become turbulent. After defeating the Liao Kingdom, Li Liangzuo enthroned the vast Northeast region to thirty-seven vassal states. Now more than ten years have passed, and the turmoil in the Northeast region has basically not stopped. Li Liangzuo has mediated several times. Although there were no major wars, there were constant small wars. Li Liangzuo turned a blind eye to those small matters. Although these thirty-seven vassal states belonged to the Great Xia Kingdom in name, Li Liangzuo could not control them, so Li Liangzuo was not particularly enthusiastic about the war between the thirty-seven vassal states.

In the Imperial Garden, Li Liangzuo was fishing in Taiye Pond with a fishing rod. Taiye Pond in the Xia Palace was expanded from a naturally formed lake. The lake water is connected to the Yellow River through the river channel, so the fish in the pond are not raised but wild. The fish soup stewed with wild river fish is one of Li Liangzuo's favorite dishes. Many times Li Liangzuo even makes fish soup in person. Whenever he has time, Li Liangzuo will come to this Taiye Pond to fish, which is also one of Li Liangzuo's entertainment.

The newly appointed Executive Yuan envoy Zhou Wentai hurriedly walked towards the fishing pavilion where Li Liangzuo was. Li Liangzuo heard Zhou Wentai's footsteps and signaled Zhou Wentai to stop moving forward. At this moment, Li Liangzuo raised the fishing rod suddenly, and a fat crucian carp dehydrated. The crucian carp that soared into the air was still swaying and trying to get rid of the fish hook, but the hook was very firm and could not break free. Li Liangzuo gently pulled the fishing rod and let the crucian carp put it in front of him, then grabbed the fishing rod and picked the hook from the mouth of the crucian carp.

Li Liangzuo grabbed the crucian carp and smiled with satisfaction, "This crucian carp is at least two pounds. It seems that the fish soup for tonight is really falling." Li Liangzuo said as he handed the crucian carp to Xiao Fuzi, and took the handkerchief from Xiao Fuzi's hand and wiped his hands.

After wiping his hands, Li Liangzuo asked Zhou Wentai: "What's wrong with Zhou Aiqing! He has come here after me."

Zhou Wentai bowed to Li Liangzuo and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Boliao Kingdom has arrived. I hope to ask for your Majesty."

"Bo Liao Kingdom?" Li Liangzuo said with a questioning face; "Why did Xiao Talin send someone? When I asked him to attack Goryeo back then, he did not execute what I had not asked him for! Now he dares to send someone to see me."

"Your Majesty, although King Boliao did not execute His Majesty's military orders back then, King Boliao was still loyal to Your Majesty. In recent years, King Boliao would come to pay tribute every year, and he was still filial." Zhou Wentai said to Li Liangzuo.

"If it weren't for his filial piety, I would have sent troops to destroy him." Li Liangzuo snorted coldly and said, "What did Xiao Talin send his envoy Lae? Who is the envoy?"

Zhou Wentai reported to Li Liangzuohui: "It is Xiao Talin's eldest son, and Xiao Jinghuan, the prince of Boliao, personally led the envoy to come. Will Your Majesty see them?"

Li Liangzuo thought for a while and said, "Let Xiao Jinghuan come here alone to see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Wentai immediately took the order and left.

After Zhou Wentai left, Li Liangzuo continued to sit here and fish. Soon Zhou Wentai brought Xiao Jinghuan. The two were blocked by Xiao Fuzi. At this time, Xiao Jinghuan was less than 20 years old. In the battle of Liao Kingdom more than ten years ago, Xiao Jinghuan had met Li Liangzuo. When Li Liangzuo led his army back to Xijin Prefecture from the Song Dynasty, it was because the Xijin Prefecture had been captured by the Xia army. Xiao Talin's family, who had been left in Xijin Prefecture, became the prisoners of the Xia army. It was precisely because Li Liangzuo captured Xiao Talin's family and forced Xiao Talin to surrender. After the feudal division was completed, Xiao Talin was granted the title of King of Boliao by Li Liangzuo, and his family naturally returned them together. Xiao Talin was naturally grateful to Li Liangzuo and sent a large number of gifts to pay tribute every year.

This was the second time Xiao Jinghuan saw Li Liangzuo, and it was also the first time he came to the imperial palace of the Great Xia Kingdom. Although the Xia Palace was built very exquisitely, it was not very large, and it was not even as large as the Liaoyang Palace of the Boliao Kingdom. You should know that the Liaoyang Palace of the Boliao Kingdom was Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom and an important place for the development of the Khitans. Therefore, the Liao Kingdom attached great importance to the Liaoyang Prefecture back then, and the palace built was naturally quite large. Of course, all this was cheaper than Xiao Talin.

Since Xiao Jinghuan looked at Li Liangzuo's silhouette, he kept his head down to show his respect for Li Liangzuo. When Li Liangzuo saw the fish float moving down suddenly, Li Liangzuo pulled upwards. Unfortunately, there was nothing on the hook. Even the bait was taken away by the fish under the water. Li Liangzuo said angrily: "This bastard is quite slippery. He even ate the bait but didn't take the bait."

At this time, Xiao Fuzi walked to Li Liangzuo and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou and Prince Boliao are looking for a meeting."

Li Liangzuo waved to the two people outside the pavilion and signaled them to come in. Xiao Jinghuan came to Li Liangzuo and immediately kowtowed and bowed: "My minister, Xiao Jinghuan, the prince of Boliao, pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"I'm happy." Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Jinghuan with a smile. "I remember when I first met you, you were still a child. I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed and the changes have changed so much, which is quite the style of Naifu back then."

"Your Majesty is not as good as your heroic spirit back then. My father always wanted to come to Xiadu to listen to Your Majesty's teachings, but the country's affairs are busy and they are unable to come." Xiao Jinghuan flattered Li Liangzuo.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Li Liangzuo said with a smile, waved his hand, "What's the matter with the prince coming this time?"

Xiao Jinghuan suddenly knelt down to Li Liangzuo and said, "I am here to apologize to Your Majesty for your father; of course, Your Majesty once ordered that your father raise an army to attack Goryeo and recover the lost territory north of the Yalu River. However, at that time, the Boliao Kingdom was weak at that time and the Jurchens were eyeing him, so they could not fight against Goryeo at all. Therefore, he had never been able to execute his Majesty's Shengyu, so his father felt very guilty when he arrived. Now the northern Boliao Kingdom has already been fully equipped with troops and armor. The father intends to recover the lost territory, so he specially ordered the Wei minister to come and ask Your Majesty for the order."

After hearing what Xiao Jinghuan said, Li Liangzuo finally understood. To put it bluntly, Xiao Talin came to tell Li Liangzuo that he was going to send troops to Goryeo and wanted Li Liangzuo to give him a name. In this way, if the war is not good in the future, Xiao Talin could also put all the responsibility on Li Liangzuo. If all the fruits of victory are won, they will belong to Boliao Kingdom, but if any problems arise, they will be carried by the Daxia Kingdom.

"When will the King of Boliao launch troops this time to attack Goryeo and how many more troops will be sent?" Li Liangzuo asked Xiao Jinghuan.

Xiao Jinghuan immediately replied to Li Liangzuo: "Report to Your Majesty, when the empress comes, my father has prepared the issue of sending troops. As long as your majesty's imperial edict arrives, you can send troops. This time, my father gathered a total of 150,000 troops to fight eastward. With Your Majesty's prestige and support for the Boliao Army, you will definitely win a complete victory."
