The big action of the Great Song Dynasty made the secret spies of the Liao Dynasty lurking in the Great Song Dynasty frantically pass the news back to Shangjing, of course, even if they didn't use the action, it didn't matter, the Liao Dynasty Dutingyi had already passed the news back, and the most important thing for the secret spies to do was to tell the Great Liao that they were in Beijing and couldn't stay in the Great Song Dynasty.

For them, it was very easy for them to get out of the Great Song Dynasty first, and they only needed to avoid the inspection of the Beijing city gate like a decoration, but now it is different, the city wall of Beijing City has been reinforced, and the people at the city gate have also been replaced by experienced veterans.

It is difficult to get out of the city with the slightest flaw, I heard that there was a Jiangyang thief who was caught by the seemingly useless lame veteran at the city gate, and the Beiping Mansion rewarded him with a full thirty friends!

This large amount of reward can make people's eyes red, and all the veterans guarding the door immediately became the criminal officer in charge of the prison lawsuit in Beiping Mansion, and everyone looked like Jiangyang thieves.

Ordinary people are worried, not to mention the Liao people who are secret spies?

Countless news gathered to the Liao Dynasty through various channels, and some people in the Liao Dynasty who did not believe it were shocked and speechless in the face of ironclad evidence, in their opinion, although the relationship between Song and Liao was tense, it had not yet reached the point of saber rattling.

After all, it has been a country of brothers since the beginning of the first imperial dynasty, and now it is also a country of uncles and nephews, and the relationship between the two countries has eased some time ago.

Now, everything has changed, and as the Great Song Dynasty begins to build the Great Wall, the relationship between the Song and Liao will immediately become tense, and as the number of Han people in the court increases, the internal relations within the Liao Dynasty will be tense.

There has been the most serious hatred in history among the people, and this has not happened since Emperor Taizong Yelu Deguang divided the north and south!

This situation was exacerbated by the appearance of the Great Wall, and the Liao Dynasty was already tense at the court meeting today, with Han officials and Liao officials holding their own opinions, and the Liao officials believed that they should send troops to prevent the Great Song Dynasty from building the Great Wall.

However, the Han officials strongly objected, and some people, such as Zhang Jian, thought that they should send envoys to condemn and threaten the Great Song, which was good, and some Han officials even suggested indulging this behavior of the Great Song, believing that once the Han people built the Great Wall, they would not send troops to the north to attack the Great Liao.

The Han officials proposed that the purpose of the Great Song Dynasty to build the Great Wall was to prevent the Great Liao from going south, and if the Great Song Dynasty had built the Great Wall, the Song people would not have gone on a northern expedition, and for them, the Great Wall was a defense rather than an offense.

However, as a Han official, Zhang Jian completely denied this statement, he knew better than anyone the role of the Great Wall in the attack, the officials of the Han and Liao factions quarreled, and Yelu Hongji, as the emperor, was completely confused.

can only summon Zhang Jian, the former emperor's minister, in the main hall Yelu Hongji sat quietly on the throne, and in the bead curtain behind him was his mother Xiao Tart, whenever he was not sure about political affairs, Yelu Hongji would let his mother hang the curtain............

Zhang Jian was no longer surprised, and after saluting Yelu Hongji on the throne, he bowed to the bead curtain and then stood up and said: "Your Majesty must have asked the government and ministers about the Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Yelu Hongji nodded: "Now above the court, one faction insists on sending troops, and the other insists on waiting and watching the changes, and you, the prime minister of Zuo, are determined to send envoys to condemn or threaten, and I really can't get the point." ”

Zhang Jian smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, this is actually not difficult, just see the tricks of the Song people, the current situation is that the Song people built the Great Wall, and they have not put pressure on my Great Liao, and there have been all kinds of inappropriate things in my Great Liao, so it can be seen that this Great Wall cannot be repaired!" ”

This is a fact, Yelu Hongji nodded slightly: "Then what do you say?" Is it just the sending of envoys? You should know that it's useless! ”

"Bow first and then soldiers, this is the trick of the Song people, if the Song people keep dissuading, I can send troops to attack the people who built the Great Wall, labor, and can also attack the carriage transporting stones, this is a huge project, if it is a long-term attack, the Great Wall of the Song people does not know when to cultivate."

The bead curtain moved slightly, Yelu Hongji glanced at his mother, and when he saw his mother nodding in agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is very good, but what if the Song people use this as an excuse to close the field?" ”

Zhang Jian's face was straight: "The Song people built the side wall, it was not good for the comers, it was a betrayal of the covenant and the abandonment of the alliance, I sent an envoy to the Great Liao, first salute and then soldier, if the Song people closed the field, banned trade, the people of the world regarded it as the first rat, and the villain also!" ”

Zhang Jian's words were filled with righteous indignation, as if he had really stood on the side of justice, and the Great Song Dynasty ruled by Zhao Zhen was a complete villain, so he immediately issued an order: "Prime Minister Zuo Cheng is reasonable, and he ordered someone to pass on the decree, with Li Zhongren of Honglu Temple as the main envoy, and Yelu Dini, the official of the Northern Ya, as the deputy envoy, and go with the letter of the country!" ”

Xiao Tzu never said a word from beginning to end, but she understood that only Zhang Jian's proposition was the best at the moment, and it was indeed necessary to salute first and then soldier, if the army attacked, the Song people would probably use this excuse to send troops to attack Liao.

In Xiao Tzuli's eyes, the Great Song Emperor was always thinking about the destruction of the Liao Dynasty, and this thought was like thorns in the woods wrapped around her body, because she had already seen through Zhao Zhen's character.

He is an unscrupulous emperor who will do anything to achieve his goals, although in the name of benevolence, his means are quite soft, but his ambition is by no means less than that of Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang, or even more!

She only hopes that her young eagles will grow up early and leave her protection, because although she has some women's wisdom, she is far behind in vision, and the withered wings can no longer shelter the young eagles below.

Xiao Tzuli looked at his confident son and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Zhang Jian could still protect him for a while, but one day he would have to face all this by himself.

………………………………

When Zhang Jian left the palace, the civil and military officials of the Liao Dynasty, who had been waiting outside, pinned their eyes on him, and they wanted to know which party's suggestion the emperor had finally adopted.

"What does Your Majesty say?"

Xiao Hui was the first to speak, he rarely objected to his old friend, but this time he stood on the side of Liao Guan to support the dispatch of troops, Zhang Jian shook his head, Xiao Hui clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

"So, is Your Majesty going to wait and see what happens?"

This time it was the Han official who spoke, Zhang Jian shook his head for a long time, everyone was confused, and finally someone said: "Your Majesty used Prime Minister Zuo's strategy, salute first and then soldier?" ”

Zhang Jian finally spoke: "Yes! If you wait for the main battle and the main battle, you can't hold on, so it's better to salute first and then soldier. After speaking, his face changed, and he said as grim and cold as frost: "But there is one thing I hope you will know, the side wall of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be repaired!" ”
