In the past, if there was a war between the Song and Xia, the Liao State played the role of a neutral, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and when the two tigers were tired and injured, they would stand up and make a profit.

But this time, Yelu Hongji vaguely felt in his heart that the Song Dynasty had the courage to go to war with Western Xia, which seemed to be different from before, and he couldn't tell what the specific differences were.

Yelu and Lu Wei spoke anxiously, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with it?" ”

Yelu Hongji still looked at Yang Huairen, as if he wanted to catch a trace of what he wanted from the change in his expression, but Yang Huairen looked dazed, as if it was really like what he said, this Song-Xia War was just an ordinary war, and the Song Dynasty just wanted to get back the territory of the states that had been ceded to Western Xia, and there was nothing special about it.

Yelu Hongji signaled Yelu and Lu Wei not to worry, and turned his gaze to Xiao Sabi.

Xiao Sabi said, "What the Yang envoy said is right, the Western Xia invaded some states and counties of the Song Dynasty before, and now the Song Dynasty wants to get it back, so it has started a war against the Western Xia."

Chen felt that there was nothing, this was a matter of the two of them, and it was inconvenient for us to get involved, and let them solve their problems by themselves. ”

Even Yang Huairen didn't expect Xiao Sabi to say this, and after thinking about it slowly, Yang Huairen knew why Xiao Sabi was happy.

Song Xia is suddenly fighting now, it seems to be beneficial to him, if he wants to do something big, he also doesn't want to see the two surrounding powers to disturb him.

Now that Song and Xia are fighting happily, if he wants to make an incident, then the two countries will not have the energy and effort to interfere with him at all, but he can not worry about foreign influences and concentrate on his big things.

Yelu Yanxi didn't care what Xiao Sabi said, but he was very good at guessing his grandfather's thoughts, and he stood up and said, "Although it is a matter between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, the place where they started the war is not far from the transit of our Great Liao.

The ministers and grandsons were afraid that the war between the Song and Xia countries would affect the pond fish and endanger the safety of the people living on our western border, so the ministers and grandsons felt that the emperor's grandfather should let the western road recruit the envoy Chen Bing to the Liaoxia border, so as to be prepared. ”

Yelu and Lu Wei stood up again and said, "The younger brother agrees with the emperor's proposition. ”

Yelu Hongji nodded, Yelu Yanxi did say that in his heart, no matter why there was a war between Song and Xia, the Liao State could not care, but it could not help but prepare.

In the future, there are only two kinds in his consciousness, one is that one side of the Song and Xia wins, for example, the Song Dynasty regains the land of several states ceded to the Western Xia earlier, and then the Liao State can stand up and make peace from it, and at the same time ask for some benefits from the victory of the Song Dynasty.

The second scenario is that neither of the Song and Xia countries can win, and after a stalemate of several months, each withdraws its troops.

And in either case, it seems that the Liao State does not need to make too much trouble to seek justice for anyone, it only needs to send the 100,000 horses of the West Road Recruitment Division to the border of Liaoxia, and Yelu Hongji does not want to make any trouble, he needs to stabilize the situation and let him gradually transfer power to his grandson.

Yang Huairen looked like it was none of my business on his face, but his heart was very complicated. In the face of the Song-Xia War, the approach of the Liao Emperor and several important ministers was relatively neutral, which is good or bad.

This neutral approach does not count as achieving his goal. He also thought about three scenarios in advance, the first of which was the worst, that is, the Liao State would immediately send troops to intervene, and it was impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to stare at the huge pressure from the Liao State and continue to use troops against Western Xia.

The second is the same as what Yelu Yanxi is admonishing now, the Liao State sent troops, but the 100,000 soldiers and horses who were originally recruited on the west road of the Liao State in the west did not use the most elite forbidden army of the Liao State.

In this way, both the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia will feel a certain pressure from the Liao State, and when they are at war, they must pay attention to the actions of the Liao State at the same time, resulting in no one being able to concentrate on the war between the two countries, and the final result may be a truce.

This situation seems to be very good, and it seems that everyone can't fight. But Yang Huairen knew that Zhao Xu and Zhang Dan's idea was to injure or even cripple the Western Xia through a major war, and solve the problem of the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty being threatened by the Western Xia for a long time.

By defeating the Western Xia, thus opening up the trade routes between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Regions, it can also bring huge economic benefits to the Great Song Dynasty, which is very beneficial to enhancing the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

And Yelu Hongji did this, it was like two people fighting, and the other strongest strong man stood aside to watch the excitement, and neither of the two people who were fighting knew if this strong man would suddenly make a move, and who would help, so no one dared to use too much force, and they had to save their energy to be careful of this strong man.

And the third situation is the purpose of Yang Huairen's visit this time, that is, to make the Liao State have no time to estimate the Song-Xia War, so that the Great Song Dynasty can concentrate on daring to fight against the Western Xia without worrying about the future.

Therefore, now it is the second situation, which Yang Huairen cannot accept.

So now he is thinking about it, is his judgment that Xiao Sabi will rebel when Yelu Hongji is in power, whether it will really happen, and whether it will happen at the bowl festival a few days later.

If so, then no matter whether Xiao Sabi succeeds or not, then the center of the Liao court will be in chaos, where is the energy to care about what Song Xia is doing in the west?

Xiao Sabi's recent performance does have such signs, the North Courtyard Dawangfu has been weird recently, no one knows what Xiao Sabi is plotting at home, and it seems that there will be big moves in the future.

But if not, and Xiao Sabi was just preparing, maybe his plan was indeed in advance, but not so early, how could Yang Huairen make chaos within the Liao State immediately?

It is obviously unrealistic to find other people to cause chaos for the Khitans, whether it is the Mongols or the Jurchens, whose strength is not enough to pose a fundamental threat to the rule of the Khitans.

He also knew that the most urgent thing for their Jurchen tribe at the moment was to unify internally, and then continue to accumulate strength, and they would only stand up when they had the ability to compete with the Khitans for the northern land in ten or even twenty years.

Yang Huairen sighed in his heart, Wanyan Agu was too smart and too forbearant to fight this opponent, and he could only make harm to the Jurchen tribe behind his back, but he couldn't cause enough damage to them to force them to rebel immediately.

The rest can only be moved from the competition for the Khitan throne between several big Khitan nobles.

And after all, he is a Song man, so he can't say it to his face and force Xiao Sabi to rebel immediately, right?

Hey? Yang Huairen suddenly seemed to have caught something in his thoughts, and couldn't help but smile a little, and said in his heart that he couldn't come openly, I could come secretly, I couldn't force you Xiao Sabi, Yelu Yanxi always forced it, right?
