The arrival of Xixia's envoy did not surprise Wan Yankang. The Yongyi Army and Mongolia did not attack each other, which meant that Congfang could free up one hand to do other things.Even if there is still mutual distrust, at least major wars will not happen in the short term.No one can guarantee what Mongolia, which has deployed more troops, will do.Xixia is one of the earliest countries to be beaten by Mongolia among the existing countries. Its territory is not large, its population is not large, and its location is still very important. It is basically a target painted with fluorescent powder in the dark.

No wonder Li Deren was in a hurry.

What Li Deren couldn't say was that Wanyankang didn't owe him anything. It's true that the two of them helped each other, and it's true that they were allies, but there was never an agreement "no unilateral peace talks".He couldn't ask Wanyan Kang to be on the front line of confrontation with Mongolia for the stability of Xixia.What's more, Wanyan Kang didn't surrender, "just" they didn't attack each other.If Li Deren can sign the same terms with Mongolia, he will do it too!

When Xixia was in an uproar, Li Deren kept calm, suppressed the voice of protest, and decided to send the envoy to meet Wanyankang.The messenger's choice was also considered. The reason why Li Dexin was included was because she was a woman, not because she knew Wanyankang.Li Deren once thought that it would be a good thing if Wanyankang could be his brother-in-law, but Wanyankang refused to accept this fault, so Li Deren gave up this plan.This time Li Dexin was chosen because it was best for Xixia not to threaten Wanyan Kang, and the tone of the questioning should not be too tough. A girl who came forward represented gentleness in itself.

Wanyan Kang didn't think so!Having dealt with Xixia for so many years, he is familiar with the history of Xixia, and he deeply understands that in this land of Xixia, men may count what they say. Once a woman and a man have the right to speak, only It can show that she is more difficult to deal with than men.

Wan Yankang waited on guard for Li Dexin's arrival, and did not ignore her because of her previous recklessness.If I, an ordinary person, can get to this point, what qualifications do I have to think that others will stay where they are?After Xixia negotiated peace with Jin, the number of wars decreased, the reduction of personnel was alleviated, and Makui was also reduced as a supplement to the army.Under such circumstances, the weight of Li Dexin's words will undoubtedly be reduced, and she can still come as a deputy envoy, which is worth pondering in itself.

Li Deren is not stupid, he would not use his own sister to play such a beauty trick, so Li Dexin was sent here because he must have a certain advantage in her, or there is more than one advantage in her!

After Wanyankang explained the precautions, he rushed back immediately.The relationship between the Volunteer Army and Xixia is well known. No matter which side it is, they don't want to fight Xixia. It is necessary to appease Xixia. Mind one more party hostess.

After several years of recuperation, Xixia has become more powerful than before. Its land is more fertile than Mongolia, and it was once the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties in history. It is still the same sentence-it is not worthwhile.The old land of the Kingdom of Jin does not have a very strong sense of historical responsibility, and pays more attention to interests.It would be perfect to combine the power of Xixia, swallow gold and destroy Song, and then fight against Mongolia with a backhand!

On the way back, many people smiled ambiguously, and comforting Xixia was not a difficult task in their opinion.

*****************

Wanyan Kang frowned, and the peace talks with Mongolia had to be done secretly in the early stage, and he didn't need to report to any "other countries".Xixia's dissatisfaction is due, and such a procedure is indispensable for Li Deren to send envoys.But since he was sent by an envoy, it must have the intention of easing up. How to make Xixia not to blow up his hair is a difficult problem before him.

Arriving at the mansion to rest, the Xixia envoy has not arrived yet.The envoy Xia walked neither fast nor slow. He submitted the documents in advance and came slowly after getting approval.This gave Wanyankang enough preparation time, such as the post office, such as the countermeasures.

Tu Shanheng was sent to Shangjing Road by him to separate Tu Shanheng from Wanyan Honglie so as to avoid accidents.Without another word, Tu Shanheng finished packing his luggage and headed to Shangjing Road.Brother Yeluliu was not a good stubble, and he was also afraid that the Jurchens on Shangjing Road would not be able to maintain a balance with them, not to mention that the coal and iron mines on Shangjing Road had only just been excavated, and new grains needed to be tested and promoted.The share of the imperial examination is not indisputable, but it is found that if Shangjing Road is prosperous, the share will naturally increase, otherwise it will not be possible to fight for it.

Walking away happily can also make Wanyan Kang let go of his guard, thinking that he is not so strong in wanting Wanyan Honglie to die.Thus there are more layout opportunities.

The strength of the Jurchens around Wanyankang decreased, and the northern Han people such as Shi Tianni and Zhang Rou gradually became more important.When discussing the matter, Zhang Rou said: "I have always been a good alliance with Xixia, and we will help each other. We must not lose this ally because of a small loss. A person cannot stand without trust, and the same is true for a country. Please swear an alliance with Xixia again." .” He belongs to the school of reason, and he doesn’t have any deep hatred for Xixia, and he speaks relatively peacefully.

Shi Tianni praised and said: "That's exactly the case. Although negotiating peace with Mongolia has solved the urgent need, it is also somewhat troublesome. First, if Mongolia attacks my allies, what should I do? Second, Mongolia has freed up its hands and wiped out all countries , the power has greatly increased, what should I do? Third, if Mongolia joins forces with Jin and Song, what should I do?"

Ke Da thought for a while and said, "I have something to say."

Wanyan Kang smiled: "Say."

"We taboo Mongolia, don't Mongolia taboo us?"

Zhang Rou nodded and said: "That's why we didn't dissuade this matter." After all, he is more knowledgeable than Chae Da, and he was not questioned, "Now what Brother Shi said is also to plan ahead." Wanyan Kang added in his stomach. The previous sentence [Besides, regretting is not a psychological obstacle for me. 】Shi Tianni bowed his hands to Wan Yankang: "Marshal Rong Zhi. I and Mongolia are afraid of each other. It is not a long-term strategy. He takes advantage of this opportunity to annex other countries, and I can do the same."

The meat is here!They were all worried that Wanyan Kang still "couldn't bear" to annex the Kingdom of Jin.

Wan Yankang asked: "Do you think the Mongols will stop if we can't be eliminated? They can't stop. Mongolia is short of resources, and those who have tasted the sweetness in the plunder will not stop. If you can't go south, they will stop." Then go west."

Chou replied: "They have something to do, we can take the opportunity to go to Henan!" He was quite careful not to mention the word "killing gold".

Wanyan Kang said: "Is this what you want to say?"

Chai Da said straightforwardly: "Isn't this what we should think about? Otherwise, what's the use of supporting us? The Song Dynasty is useless, and it is better not to join hands with them and clean up the mess."

Zhang Judao: "Not bad, not bad, so that there will be no more disputes in Henan."

Several people spoke to each other, finished the pie, and looked at Wanyankang together.Wan Yankang said: "See Xia Envoy first." At this time, Wanyan Kang remembered the benefits of Tu Danheng, and Tu Shanheng's way of expression on such matters would be more acceptable to him.

Hitting the cotton with a punch, Zhang Rou and the others suddenly understood: If you can't say anything by yourself, the boss will do it!This idea must be ruled out!

In a very tacit understanding, everyone opened up the matter, discussed the matter of the Xia envoy, and gave up teasing Wanyan Kang with Li Dexin.

*******************

The Xia envoy arrived soon, and compared to the envoys I had seen before, this time the Xixia envoy looked much more energetic.The envoys have always been Xixia nobles, living a good life, and it is hard to see whether life is embarrassing.The follower is different, especially the low-level follower, their state can better tell the state of Xixia.The low-level attendants looked more relaxed than the ones they had seen before, and there was not much urgency in their expressions, and they were a little fatter than the previous batches.Even the clothes and accessories are simple and simple, and they are much cleaner.

Xixia is doing well now.Wan Yankang came to a conclusion, and his attitude towards Ambassador Xia became more and more relaxed.

Xixia Zhengshi is an old man of the royal family, with gentle and thoughtful etiquette, without any eyebrows or eyebrows, and calmly submitted the letter of credence.Usually, what is written in the national book is superficial, even if there is a deep meaning, it is also twisted and twisted. This is the tradition of the two countries.The Xixia and Yongyi Army's general book is called the "national book", and this book represents Li Deren's attitude.

Li Deren believes that Wanyankang is not stupid enough to believe that he can coexist peacefully with Mongolia for a long time and abandon Xixia because of this, but the gesture still needs to be done.

So, after Wan Yankang and the envoy politely said a lot of things like "always friendly", Li Dexin, who was the deputy envoy, appeared on the stage.Compared with before, she has matured a lot. She quietly listened to the two of them finishing their polite conversation. When the elder turned his body slightly, he came out halfway, and said from "friendliness" to "always", leading out " You have always been friendly" the princess was released for us, so this time the princess also followed.

Li Dexin saluted, Wan Yankang returned the salute, in a friendly atmosphere, Li Dexin said: "I was young at that time, so I offended you."

Wan Yankang recalled how he was putting on an indescribable act back then, and couldn't help laughing: "Everyone is the same."

Li Dexin said: "Now I'm afraid I will offend again."

Wanyan Kang asked calmly: "What is it?"

"Are you and I allies?"

"Yes."

"The alliance should advance and retreat together. I don't know why you have an agreement with Mongolia Leshi not to attack each other? Where do you want to put my Great Xia? One day, Mongolia will attack Xia. Do you want to stand by and watch?"

Although he really wanted to get a definite answer right away, the envoy still "persuaded" Li Dexin: "How can we be hasty in national affairs? Why don't we talk about it in detail? Otherwise, it's a promise, and it can't be fulfilled. What's the use?"

Anyone who understands this kind of plot knows that it is going through the motions, and the drama is off the stage, Wan Yankang agreed with a smile.The envoy said: "I haven't paid my respects to Mrs. Tai." Li Dexin readily admitted: "It's my fault. Before the ceremony was over, I became impulsive. I was taken care of earlier. Please allow me to meet Mrs. Tai. There is another one If you want to talk about it in detail, you have to think about it first."

Wan Yankang asked what was going on, Li Dexin couldn't hold back her composure, and said with a downcast face: "Mongols have entered Tibet."
