Su Chi was the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, so he naturally planned from the perspective of maintaining the feudal dynasty.

In his opinion, Wu Haogu's Great Zhou Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty fought sooner or later. The reason why they did not fight now is that the Great Zhou Dynasty was in its early rise and its foundation was unstable, so they still needed to manage it well. And Wu Haogu did a great job in this regard!

Today, the Zhou Kingdom is a perfect ideal country except for the imperial examination and no emperor!

But no matter how well you do, the time for establishing the Great Zhou Kingdom is still short and it takes time to work hard to manage it.

Second, the Great Zhou actually rose from the Liao Dynasty, but the Zhou people were also Han people, not nomadic fishing and hunting people. They could not handle the grasslands and the forests in the north by relying on their own strength alone. Therefore, the Zhou Kingdom needed some time to stabilize the northern front, and on the basis of disintegrating the Great Liao Kingdom, they divided and conquered the northern tribes, controlled the Bashang grassland and the Korqin grassland as much as possible (Korqin comes from the Xianbei language), and established enough Biwu forts in the plains of Liaodong.

It also takes a lot of time to complete these things.

For the Song Dynasty, it was unlikely to prevent the Zhou State from improving its internal political affairs. The only way to postpone the arrival of the decisive battle between the Song and Zhou was to use diplomatic means to prevent the Zhou State from governing the north.

However, the Song Dynasty must also grasp the right measure in its interactions with the barbarians in the north and must not support the second Liao Dynasty by itself.

Otherwise, an emerging barbarian empire would probably be fatal to the eldest country of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, this operation is a test of the means of the rulers of the Song Dynasty.

"Shumi, can we send envoys to the Jin camp with Wu Haogu and Empress Xiao on their backs?"

Although Zhao Huan's throne of prince has not been finalized, he has long regarded himself as the heir to the throne of the Song Dynasty, so he has no scruples and directly made suggestions.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Su Chi smiled and said, "I am just thinking about this. The officials will arrange this matter." He paused, "When Your Highness meets Empress Xiao of Liao Kingdom, Emperor Tianxiong (referring to Yelu Aoluo), and Princess of Shu Kingdom (Yelu Yuliyan), I will propose to set up a permanent embassy in Dading Prefecture, just like the Zhou Kingdom and our dynasty. With an embassy in Dading Prefecture, it will be much easier to contact the Jurchens."

Zhao Huan nodded and thought: With this connection, you may be able to defeat Zhou in the future. However, the father is becoming more and more addicted to Taoism and has no interest in boosting the country's national strength...

...

It was almost noon the next day, and Wu Haogucai and Xiao Sesse, Yelu Aoluwu and Yelu Yuliyan arrived at the palace and office outside Dading Prefecture City.

Princess Yu Liyan of Shu is only eleven or twelve years old this year. She has not yet grown completely, but she has already looked graceful and graceful. She is definitely a beauty. With a little makeup on her face, her facial features are like a fairy in a painting, her eyes are like autumn water, and her frown and eyes are enough to distort all living beings.

Such a beauty... is really not under the bleakness of her mother! Even if a respected saint like Wu Haogu saw her, she felt a little rippling in her heart.

However, Zhao Huan was not attracted by Yu Liyan's beauty. Although Yu Liyan was beautiful, no one of the girls Zhao Huan is under.

For example, Zhao Yupan, Zhao Jinnu, and Zhao Jinluo and Zhao Fujin who are like porcelain dolls... Zhao Ji's daughters are all beautiful! It's a pity that they are all girls - this is probably the most depressing thing that Zhao Huan, who has entered puberty, feels the most depressed.

And Yu Liyan, who is about to become his wife...is pretty good, but I don’t know what kind of temper is? If it’s too fierce, it’s bad!

Zhao Huan, who was used to seeing the beautiful girl, just glanced at Yu Liyan for a few times, and then turned his eyes to Wu Haogu and Xiao Sesse. Although they came out of the same bedroom, they were both solemn and solemn when they arrived in front of Zhao Huan, and they were definitely not a single affair.

Xiao Sesse dressed in a thin slit ceremonial dress with a beautiful dress, with a shallow shoulder and a broad mind. It was obvious that Zhao Ji liked it. However, Zhao Huan was not very interested in her. He was not good at this, and he was not in this mood now.

Zhao Huan's attention was focused on Wu Haogu, the head of the Great Zhou Republic. He knew that Wu was good at literature and martial arts, especially the latter, and for some reason he was particularly favored by Zhao Ji and was a frequent visitor in the palace.

However, Wu Haogu and they are not very similar. Wu Haowen is a fat man and he is breathing when walking. Wu Haode grew up beautifully and looks a bit like Zhao Huan's younger brothers...

As for Wu Haogu, he is of medium size, well-proportioned figure, and looks very strong. His facial features are majestic and frowned slightly, as if he is very dissatisfied with someone, and he seems to be thinking about some profound truth.

Zhao Huan thought to himself: Is this a fake saint who deceived the world and robbed his reputation? This thief was so enthusiastic about mediating and running between Song and Liao, and I think he didn't have any kind intentions?

...

Xijing Road, Datong Prefecture.

When the Great Liao Empire was about to collapse, it was located in the central part of Inner Mongolia, northwestern Shanxi, and northwestern Hebei in later generations. It may also occupy a little Xijing Road, which is probably the last pure land in the entire country.

In addition to the Yunzhong Land (Datong Prefecture and its surroundings) seized from the Later Jin Dynasty, the rest of the territory of Xijing Road was basically the settlements of the Khitans, including some tribes and palace guards, which were scattered on the grasslands in the south of the desert, and many military prefectures were established in various places.

After falling around Linhuang Mansion, another gathering place of the Khitans, a large number of Khitans who were unwilling to be slaves of the country, moved one after another to Xijing Road.

For a time, the capital of Xijing Road, Datong Prefecture, almost became a refugee camp of the great Liao Dynasty. The exile gathered and the nobles were all over the city. The former arrogant royal family, now with the wealth that had been plundered for many years, has squeezed into the not-so-large Datong Prefecture City.

Because there were too many people, there were not enough houses in Datong Prefecture City. Yelu Chun and Xiao Gan, who were in charge of Xijing Road, had to take the Han people in the city to the Ninghua Army, Xinzhou and Daizhou to the south. The ongoing peace talks do not include returning these three state troops taken from the Song Dynasty.

In fact, Xiao Gan didn't even want to return the Taiyuan Prefecture and the Pingding Army to the Song Dynasty.

Oh, I can't say that... He just doesn't want to hand over the actual control of Taiyuan Prefecture.

In his opinion, Taiyuan Prefecture, Datong Prefecture, Shuozhou, Yingzhou, Wuzhou, Daizhou, Xinzhou, etc. are completely integrated! Together, it is a Hedong Xiong Town!

If the Great Liao really wants to finish it, then this Hedong Xiong Town is a huge capital! It can control the capital that can control the world's ownership.

If Xiong Town in Hedong belongs to Zhou, then the whole world's surname is Wu. If Xiong Town in Hedong belongs to Song, then the weak Song can still fight against the violent Zhou with the mountains and rivers of Hedong.

As for burying the Daliao for burial... this is not in his plan!

Of course his idea is very good, but it is not easy to achieve it. The main problem is that he, the six kings of Xi tribes, is now too far from the six kings of Xi tribes.

The territory of the six tribes of King Xi was in Zhongjing Road, which is around the Dading Prefecture. Now it is directly controlled by Empress Dowager Xiao, and even the elite soldiers brought by Xiao Gan were transferred by Empress Dowager Xiao to defend the Dading Prefecture. Now the command of the people under his command are all the miscellaneous soldiers collected from the Khitan tribes in Xijing Road, many of which are the Fan Han and Han households among the palace divided into the palace. They are the people of various tribes captured by the Khitans, Han people, and Bohai households.

How loyal they are, can you figure out with your heels...

The other one that gave him a headache was his immediate boss, Yelu Chun, who stayed in Xijing.

The Liao Dynasty was about to fall apart, and the king who lost Linhuang Mansion still dreamed of turning around and cheering up his spirits.

Therefore, Xiao Gan, the military envoy of the Daotong of Xijing, had to sing high-profile together.

Now I’m just waiting for Empress Xiao to achieve a result in Dading Mansion. If I lose again... I’m afraid the Daliao will really fall apart!

Just as Xiao Gan and the Khitans in Datong Prefecture were waiting for the war report from Dading Prefecture, a sudden news came that they unexpectedly came.

I don’t know which tribe on the grassland in the north of the desert rebelled after learning that the Great Liao Kingdom had lost Tokyo Road and Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture!

From the east of the jurisdiction of the Jiedushimai of the Chaocai Ridge, we rushed into Xijing Road! It seemed that tens of thousands of people were burning and killing all the way south, and in a blink of an eye, we entered Fengshengzhou. After a short stop at Yuanyanglu, we rushed to Datong, the capital of Xijing Road!

What's going on? What do these grassland barbarians want to do? They are going to Datong Mansion to rob? They think they are bullying Zhou or having a daughter? They are just a group of herders riding horses and shooting arrows...

"Is it really a tribe on the Mobei grassland?"

In the yamen of the Xijing Left-behind Office, Xiao Gan was carefully asking a Khitan officer.

"Reporting to the king, it's true that the return of Yuanluozima said that the enemy was the shubu people and the cute ancients, and some people said that they were from the Wugu tribe..."

"I can't be wrong!" Yelu Chun said, "Isn't this group of people still the Zhou army? The head of Zhou State has now entered the Dading Mansion, and maybe they all sleep..."

He shook his head and did not say anything.

Of course, the affair between Empress Dowager Xiao and Wu Haogu is not hidden from him, the old senior.

It's no big deal! Empress Xiao is going to do it for the country and Wu Haogu... The Khitans don't believe in the truth that the failure of the ritual is big, and the extermination of the clan is small.

The disaster of extermination is ahead, and it’s nothing wrong to lose one’s integrity!

But I'd rather not say this everywhere.

"Can it be the Jurchen?" Xiao Gan asked with a frown.

"Impossible." Yelu Chun said, "How could the Jurchens run so far? It is not easy to cross the grassland and walk the desert. Neither the Jurchens nor the Han people can do it."

Xiao Gan thought for a while, "King, should we send troops?"

"Of course we have to send troops," Yelu Chun said, "We can't let them plunder everywhere, right? Many nomadic tribes on the grassland of the dam have already suffered. If they are allowed to go deeper, I don't know how many tribes are unlucky. They are all our Khitan countries! King Xiao, I won't bother you this time. I will lead the army to attack, and you just need to lead the troops to defend the city."
