Zhao Xu took a sip of tea leisurely and shook his head.

Nan Tianyou knew his identity very well and dared not have a word of it.

The Emperor of Liao personally went to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and such demonstrations were extremely rare.

Zhao Xu tasted the taste of tea and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he seemed to notice the gaze of Nan Tianyou and said, "Go and stare at him. Qingtianwei will have two tasks in the future. The first is to pay attention to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and the Liao Kingdom. The second is to the Tubo side, which are two key points."

Seeing that Zhao Xu said something so simple, Nan Tianyou was confused and said calmly: "Yes, I will leave."

“By the way,”

Zhao Xu looked at his back and shouted again, saying, "Call Mr. Zhang in."

Nan Tianyou was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Yes."

Nan Tianyou thought Zhao Xu was going to say something, so he left with a lot of doubts.

Not long after, Zhang Feng came in with a serious expression.

"Official family, trouble is coming." Zhang Feng raised his hand and saluted, then said.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Trouble? If there is such trouble, I hope there will be any every day."

Zhang Feng was stunned. Seeing that Zhao Xu had no curl at all, he thought in his heart and said, "What the official means is that the Liao people will not send troops?"

According to the current situation, the Great Song Dynasty destroyed Xia seemed to be just a blink of an eye. The Liao people would never sit there and watch it. Even if the domestic chaos was in chaos, they would send troops, forcing the Great Song Dynasty to withdraw troops and protect Western Xia, and prompting the situation of the Three Kingdoms to continue.

Zhao Xu fiddled with the tea and said with a smile: "Think about it from the perspective of others. If our position is Liao Kingdom? What would you do?"

Zhang Qi looked thoughtful, saying: "If this is my minister, he would join the army of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun? Send troops immediately? Take a surprise attack and give the greatest shock? Force the withdrawal of troops."

Zhao Xu smiled more and nodded, "That's the reason? But now? It's the Emperor of Liao who is patrolling the Sixteen Prefectures in Youyun. What does this mean?"

Zhang Feng suddenly woke up and said in a deep voice: "What the official family means is that the Liao people have no ability to send troops at all? It seems that they are tough in the most powerful way? In fact, they reveal weakness?"

Zhao Xu's smile was restrained, he sat upright, and said in a stern manner: "That's right. So, our strategy is very simple, and he is vague to the Liao people? Delay time and force the Xia people to be completely honest!"

Didn’t Zhao Xu not want to destroy Xia? He couldn’t do it at all!

Not to mention that Xixia still has strength, it would be unrealistic to just send troops to attack Xingqing Prefecture? Long-term fierce battles, or the Xia people sneaked into the grasslands and deserts to fight guerrillas? It was not what the Song Dynasty wanted.

At present? The power of Xixia has been greatly damaged? It is no longer worth worrying about. It is no longer important to destroy it. It is a matter of time!

Zhang Qing analyzed the situation in his mind and said, "Officials, what is the result?"

This is something Zhang Shi has always wanted to ask but has not asked, but now, he should ask.

Zhao Xu took a look and handed him Zhang Qing's memorial, saying, "The Zhang Qing family means that if it cannot be destroyed, it will force the Xia people to be subordinate. There will be no two days in heaven and no two kings in the country. The Xia Kingdom can only be subordinate to my Song Dynasty!"

Listening to Zhao Xu's words, Zhang Shi looked through Zhang Shi's memorial and gradually understood the meaning.

Zhang Shi understood the meaning of Zhang Dun's memorial: On the surface, he asked the Xia Kingdom to clarify one thing, that is, the Xia Kingdom was the territory of the Song Dynasty from beginning to end, the Xia Kingdom was a vassal of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was the sect leader and ruled the Xia Kingdom; and the Xia Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom were a relationship of father-in-law and son-in-law, and there was no ruling relationship!

In addition to the upright plot, there are also many conspiracies such as dividing Liao and Xia, laying the groundwork for the final analysis!

Zhang Qi thought about it again and again and said, "The official, I agree. This time is too good, so I must seize it!"

Zhao Xu said: "First, if the land occupied by our army is not given up, the Xia people will continue to drive to the desert, and the city walls must be built at a faster pace. Second, the Xia people offend the Heavenly Kingdom and cannot be forgiven. They will list the list of rebellions. The Xia people want to negotiate and send people here. This is the prerequisite for negotiation. Third, submit a letter of apology, the Empress Dowager of the Xia people, the Emperor below, kowtow to the south. Fourth, war compensation, money, grain, silver and good horses, etc., the total amount is 5 million yuan, and it does not have to be given at one time, and can be included. Fifth, the Xia people ensure that they will not turn around anymore."

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and continued without waiting for Zhang Feng to speak, "This is from the Xia people. What is with the Liao people. First, all the alliances between the Song and Liao must be re-discussed, especially the so-called annual monies, otherwise I will abolish them all. Second, my Song Dynasty intends to trade with each other. Third, my Song Dynasty intends to spend money to buy back the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Fourth, the Song Dynasty withdraws troops from each other to show sincerity. You can do whatever else. For the Liao Kingdom, let's watch the changes in the wind and clouds."

Zhang Qi is also curious now about how serious the civil strife in the Liao Kingdom was. Seeing that the Song Dynasty was about to destroy Xia, it was not just a conspiracy with the army, but the emperor was patrolling Youyun to put pressure on the Song Dynasty?

Zhang Feng pondered for a while, holding Zhang Dun's memorial in his hand, and said, "The official, I think the negotiations should be handed over to the court."

Most of the people in Qingzhou are military generals, which are not suitable at all. Even Zhang Shi can't beat Zhang Dun.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I mean that. I have sent Xiao Tiancheng to Kaifeng Prefecture."

Zhang Feng said, "I'm afraid he is not that willing?"

If you can see the emperor who is just a matter of words, who is willing to argue with the people below?

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "I told him that I decided to return to Beijing on the ninth day of the ninth month."

Zhang Qi's expression moved slightly, and then raised his hand and said, "The official family is very smart."

In fact, the imperial court and Shaanxi Sixth Road hoped that Zhao Xu would return to Beijing as soon as possible, but the reasons were different, but they were all urgent.

Zhao Xu took another sip of tea and said lightly: "If things are not resolved, I will not leave."

Zhang Qing sighed in his heart and said nothing.

The official family is in Qingzhou Prefecture, and it is a mountain that makes everyone breathless.

All strategies are based on his ideas, no one can object, and no one dares to refuse.

The government intervened in the military, and it never happened after Emperor Taizong. The civil officials and military generals were under pressure!

The court's urgency was that the Kaifeng Prefecture had no leader, and with such great achievements, the government and the country had been in a state of great excellence.

When Zhao Xu was calm and arranged as if he was a mountain, Liao and Xia each had their own actions.

Xiao Tiancheng and his men were turned around by Zhao Xu's words and rushed to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Another team of envoys were rushing to Xiping Prefecture, which was very close and expected to arrive one day.

The Song army's offensive has not stopped yet. In addition to clearing the occupied cities, it is also rapidly building a new line of defense to ensure that the Xia people can be blocked and drove them into the grassland and desert.

Zhong Jianzhong, the two brothers' cavalry of the Zong army wandered outside Xiping Prefecture and did not attack, which put enough pressure on the Xixia monarch and ministers.

Empress Dowager Liang was anxiously waiting, completely losing her former romantic thoughts. She was frowning all day long. When she heard the drums, she was frightened and wanted to run back to Xingqing Mansion on the spot.

Xiping Prefecture Partial Hall.

Li Ganshun sat on the chair, looked at the exquisite dishes in front of him, and said indifferently for a long time: "My mother is asleep. Just talk about any drama you have."

There were three people standing in front of him. From his clothes, he knew that they were prominent and had extraordinary identities.

One of the middle-aged men with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks raised their hand and shouted: "Your Majesty, Daxia is Your Majesty's Daxia. All matters should be decided by you, not the Empress Dowager. At this moment, life and death, we should ask the Empress Dowager to withdraw the curtain and return the power!"

Li Ganshun's brow jumped hard. This was the first time someone said such a thing in front of him.

But Li Ganshun's heart was like fire and burning.
