Kong Duanyou, as the contemporary Yan Shenggong, followed Zhao Ding to Longting tremble.

In order to show the sincerity of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ding personally came to the Longting of the Kelie tribe. This was his first time as a national envoy to a foreign country.

Along the way, I saw the unmelt ice and snow in the desert, the tender buds that had just spit out of the tender grass, and countless people of the Klie tribe riding horses.

I saw poverty, backwardness, and desolation.

I saw positive, hope, and tenaciousness.

The Tiel tribes, or the grassland tribes, were the major concerns of the Central Plains dynasty since time immemorial.

What did these tenacious grassland people rely on to keep asking for trouble for the Central Plains dynasty?

From the Xiongnu to the Turks, from the Turks to the Khitan, from the Khitan to the Jin people, and then to the Eighteen Tribes of Tielle, it never stopped.

To understand the reason is Zhao Ding’s initial motivation for personally arriving at the Mobei grassland this time.

"Yan Shenggong, why do you think the people on the grassland survived under such harsh living conditions and kept causing trouble for me in the Central Plains dynasty?" Zhao Ding murmured.

He sat upright in the tent of the Longting, looking at the young children who were constantly picking up cow dung outside, and looking at the herd of livestock wandering around, feeling a little sad.

There were more than tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty!

But when I arrived at the grassland and the dragon court, I found that there were only 100,000 households in Kelie's headquarters, less than 500,000 people.

Such a population is even less than a city in the Song Dynasty.

However, such tribes forced the Song Dynasty to treat them cautiously. He, the candidate for the priest in the court, had to come here for personal visits.

Longting and Zhao Ding thought completely differently. The city wall here is not even considered a city wall, and can only be regarded as a pile of earth.

Khan's Wang Ting was a big tent that could be migrated at any time.

"I thought that nomadism and nomadism were the key to this word "you". They migrated everywhere and had no place to live. If they wanted to destroy them, they had to find them. But how could it be so big in the north of the Mo, easily?" Kong Duanyou said tremblingly in the felt.

He was forcibly pulled over here by Zhao Ding. He was unwilling to eat sand, unwilling to follow Zhao Ding on missions, and unwilling to see the strong bodies of the Kelie tribesmen.

Even when he saw those shirtless Krebu men falling on the grass, he felt terrible.

Aren't they cold?

However, he dared not not answer Zhao Ding's question, so he could only find a reason that he had always been.

Zhao Ding thought for a long time and said, "Facing with arrow rain, you can charge fearlessly, and facing the towering city wall, you can climb fearlessly. Even though you know that you may die under the city wall, you are not afraid of death."

"Behind this courage is actually poverty."

Zhao Ding wrote his understanding in his letter. Because of their poverty, males started riding horses at the age of twelve and three years old, shooting archery, hunting, growing on horseback, living on horseback, fighting on horseback, and finally dying on horseback.

"Poverty?" Kong Duanyou frowned, he didn't understand.

"Zhao Jingluo, Lu Khan summoned him." A Khitan interpreter found Zhao Ding in a daze and said in a low voice.

"The envoy of the Jin Kingdom, King Chen Wanyan Zongjun, was also in the tent, so please be careful in Zhao Jingluo." Tong Zhi reminded with kindness.

Zhao Ding pulled Kong Duanyou up and came to Wang Ting's big tent. He looked at Lu Khan sitting on the master's seat and said with a smile: "I wonder what Lu Khan thought after hearing the opinions of the Jin envoy? Should he be enemies of the Song Dynasty or do good to the Song Dynasty?"

Lu Khan shook his head: "Zhao Xianggong is so serious. The Jin envoy said that the troops were sent to the south of the Mo. Before I could hear it, I called Zhao Xianggong over and listen together."

After hearing the translation of the general translation, Zhao Ding glanced at Xia Zuo and Wanyan Zongjun with the rat-tailed braid of Jin Qian.

Wanyan Zongjun is the sixth son of Wanyan Aguda. He has military achievements and is named King Chen and Zuo Pushe, the Minister of the Jin Kingdom.

The weight of this is not low at all!

It seems that the Jin Kingdom was not unprepared. Ling Tangzuo disguised himself as Xia Zuo and proposed that strategy, which can only be said to be the right time, and it may have been discussed among the Jin people.

However, Lu Khan actually directly pulled the Song envoy and the Jin envoy together. It seemed that his attitude was very obvious and he did not want to start the war easily.

This was good news for Zhao Ding. He thought that this time he would be imprisoned by Lu Khan in Beihai, and he would have to let the sheep goats go for a few years like Su Wu.

"Tell me. Let me listen." Lu Khan said to Ling Tangzuo.

Ling Tangzuo went out of the line and held a wine glass in his hand. The wine vessel was named Jue. There was a flow in front, that is, the flow tank for pouring wine, and a sharp tail behind it, with a glass in the middle.

There are horses on one side and three feet on the bottom.

"Khan, this is Jue, it is used for drinking. I wonder if Lu Khan knows why this Jue has three legs?" Ling Tangzuo asked with a smile.

Lu Khan was stunned and asked, "This has been passed down since ancient times and is like this. What else can it make sense?"

Ling Tangzuo smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Because this is the most stable! My Khan, such a wine glass, will not fall on the table."

"Just like the current situation in the world."

"At this time, the Song, Jin, and Tielite tribes are three-legged tripods that stand in the world. Only in this way can they be the most stable! If the Song people really destroy the Jin Kingdom, the next one will be the Tielite tribes."

When Lu Khan heard this, he wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and said, "The Song Dynasty and Tiele tribes have always been friendly, and there is no disaster for war. You, the Jin people and the Song people, are a feud, and you have the crime of trampling on the ground and killing the people. However, the Song Dynasty and Tiele tribes have no such feud."

"Don't deliberately say something scary to deceive my subjects of the Tielite tribes."

Ling Tang Zuochang laughed three times and said, "Khan's words are wrong! They are not an exaggeration!"

"The ambition of the Song people is well known to everyone. After the annexation of the Jin Kingdom, the Song people will never stop there. By then, the Tiel tribes will become a major concern for the Song Dynasty."

"Song Taizu has something to say! How can you let others snore on the side of the bed?"

"If Khan had a lucky heart, when he was trampled on by the Song army's iron hooves in the future, think about what he was thinking today! Wouldn't it be ridiculous?!"

Ling Tangzuo's words reached his heart, and Zhao Ding wiped the sweat from his forehead. He knew that the young man who spoke generously in front of him was actually an official from the Song Dynasty, which made him feel like the waves of the Yangtze River pushing the waves of the previous waves.

When Lu Khan heard this, he also showed a thoughtful look. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Let me think about this matter carefully and you can continue talking."

Ling Tangzuo looked at Wanyan Zongjun with a smile. The Khan's mind was no longer unilaterally towards the Song Kingdom, but had signs of turning to the Jin Kingdom!

"I wonder if Lu Khan has heard of this saying that the world will be divided for a long time and will be separated for a long time?" Ling Tangzuo asked with a smile.

Lu Khan nodded. This famous saying was a proverb that had been circulated for nearly a thousand years, so he naturally heard it. He thought for a while and asked, "Are you talking about the situation where the Song Dynasty swallowed the world?"

Ling Tangzuo nodded, shook his head again, and said, "What Lu Khan said is right or not. The emperor of the Song Dynasty had the will to swallow the world. There is no doubt about it. But what I want to say is not just the ambition of the Song Dynasty's whale swallowing the world."

"Oh?" Lu Han leaned forward and looked at Ling Tangzuo with curious eyes.

Ling Tangzuo smiled and said, "I wonder if Khan's seat is sitting like a needle or needle?"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole tent was silent, which is a fact.

The Kelie tribe of the De Capital and Longting did not unify the entire tribes of the northern mourning grassland a hundred years ago. On the contrary, he only relied on the strength of the Kelie tribe to suppress other tribes.

It is far from enough to unify the grassland tribes.

Everyone in the Krei tribe knew about this, but no one stood up. They stood up openly and pierced the window paper.

Don’t slap people in the face, and don’t reveal your shortcomings when scolding others.

This is the pain of the Krei tribe's foot, but it was directly revealed by an outsider. Lu Khan's face was naturally a bit unfavorable.

Ling Tangzuo looked at Lu Han's appearance and said with a smile: "I wonder if Lu Han has the ambition to unify the grassland?"

"If there is, then Lu Khan is still an eagle on the grassland. If there is no, then Lu Khan is just a guinea pig on the grassland."

bass!

The guards in the royal court drew out their long sword. The Han people spoke wildly and dared to insult the Khan of the Krei tribe!

Lu Khan did not stop the long swords of these guards. If Ling Tangzuo could not tell the reason, he would not be able to leave the royal court today.

Ling Tangzuo still had that flat smile on his face. He looked at Lu Khan, then looked at the guard who pulled out the knife, and said with a smile: "Khan, if Khan is willing to be an eagle and send troops to Mo Nan, it is the best chance to kill people with a knife! I wonder what Khan thinks?"

When Lu Khan heard that his whole body was about to slump out of the table. Looking at Ling Tangzuo, he certainly understood the meaning of killing people with a knife!

Skillful words and sensual words.

Lu Khan wiped the sweat from his forehead and signaled the guards to put away the knife. The Song people's power was concentrated on the Jin people. If he went south at this time, he would occupy the four towns in Monan, rely on the Song army to kill people with a knife, and consume the strength of other tribes.

It is not impossible to take the opportunity to unify the entire Mobei tribes!

"What you said makes sense." Lu Khan nodded, glanced at his son Tuli, thought for a long time, and said, "You have both reasons for it, but my Krei tribe still disagrees with sending troops to Monan and help me bring apologies to the emperor of the Jin Kingdom."

Lu Khan said with a smile: "After withdrawing troops from the four towns in Monan last year, my Kelie tribe had a good relationship with the Song Dynasty. The Song people did not violate the alliance. My Mobeierlang is also a strong man, so naturally he will not violate the alliance."

"For the sake of the verbal alliance, Khan gave up a great opportunity. Please think twice." Ling Tangzuo frowned and looked at Lu Khan. He was obviously moved. Why did he refuse to send troops now?!

Lu Khan saw Ling Tangzuo's eyes and said, "Before you come, the envoy of the Song Dynasty also arrived at Longting. I think the suggestion of the Song Dynasty envoy is better. Only when the two countries do not launch wars can they prosper. If the sword is without eyes, the sword is like a man who dies in the battlefield. If the man is not a man, the family will be over."

"In the past year, the identity of the Liao Kingdom was missing. My tribes in Mobei and the Song Dynasty had lost one less time to fight. Life was much better. People were determined. My tribes and the people on the grassland were also humans."

Lu Khan looked at Zhao Ding and laughed. There are not many benefits of communicating with the Song Dynasty this year.

Just the salt matter, the tribes that were unwilling to obey his orders in the past have now become much more obedient.

Zhao Ding stood up, saluted Lu Khan, looked at Ling Tangzuo and said, "Not all victory requires relying on swords and weapons."

“Sometimes, money can do it.”
