Hearing Zhang Yuanzhi's words, Wu Hao immediately understood a lot of truths.

So Wu Hao said to Zhang Yuanzhi: "Master Zhang, it was the lower officials who were reckless before. The lower officials were in a hurry, and they offended Lord Zhang and the prince in their words, and they also looked forward to Lord Zhang Haihan! ”

Wu Hao was indeed-for-tat with Zhang Yuanzhi before, and Zhang Yuanzhi was a little unable to get off the stage in terms of words.

But Zhang Yuanzhi didn't compare with Wu Hao, not because Zhang Yuanzhi's measurement was large, but because Zhang Yuanzhi didn't take Wu Hao's words seriously at all.

Now Zhang Yuanzhi is thinking about the situation in the world, the situation before the An Dynasty and the Liao State and the Western Xia!

There is no doubt that the national strength of the An Dynasty, both in terms of population and economy, was overwhelmingly superior to the Liao State and the Western Xia. No one in the An Dynasty has made good use of this advantage before, and the An Dynasty implements civil rule in the world, so the people are weak.

Now that An Chao has Xiao Mo, all this has slowly changed under his subtlety. It was the economy before, and after Xiao Mo made that one in Shen County, he promoted iron ore, lime, and cotton, which can be used on the battlefield and in residential buildings and people's food and clothing.

Especially iron ore, after having iron ore, the output of weapons in the An Dynasty was even greater, and Xiao Mo also invented artillery!

Zhang Yuanzhi also deeply understands the power of this artillery, and he still can't find a way to crack this artillery, so the Liao State disappeared and didn't dare to fight the idea of Taiyuan anymore.

And cotton can also be made into clothes, which Zhang Yuanzhi does not know.

Xiu Zhiming collected almost all the cotton in Shen County, and then used the major cloth and embroidery houses under his name to start making cotton clothes, ready to be transported to the front in the future, for the soldiers to survive the cold winter.

This is a big project, from the time Xiao Mo returned to Shen County, and when he and Zheng Biyuan still had money and heard that the two of them were competing for the Shen County Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Mo began to prepare for the name of Xiu.

Because it was about to enter October, Zhang Yuanzhi felt that this time, as long as he helped Xixia through the early winter of October, in November, An Chao should also withdraw his troops.

Otherwise, as soon as the wind and snow came, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the An Dynasty froze to death.

Therefore, after thinking deeply, Zhang Yuanzhi felt that he should still help Western Xia and go out of Xiachuan.

So Zhang Yuanzhi took Wu Hao to the palace and happened to meet Zhang Xiaojie.

In the final analysis, Zhang Xiaojie is also involved in political affairs, and he should have let him know about such a big matter as aiding the Western Xia.

So Zhang Yuan greeted him directly, and first greeted Zhang Xiaojie politely: "Uncle, but go to the political office?" ”

Although Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhang Xiaojie secretly disagreed, the two of them still behaved very amiably on the surface.

Zhang Xiaojie said to Zhang Yuanzhi: "Exactly, the virtuous nephew happened to be here too, hehe...... Who is this? ”

Seeing Wu Hao, Zhang Xiaojie asked.

In fact, Zhang Xiaojie knew Wu Hao, and Zhang Xiaojie had seen him once when Wu Hao came to Liaoguo before, but Zhang Xiaojie did not meet Wu Hao after all, and in order to show weakness in front of Zhang Yuanzhi, Zhang Xiaojie naturally couldn't let Zhang Yuanzhi notice the things that he had been paying attention to in Western Xia and An Dynasty.

So Zhang Xiaojie pretended not to know Wu Hao.

Wu Hao hurriedly saluted Zhang Xiaojie and said: "The foreign minister is a Western Xia envoy, and this time he came to Daliao to present a national letter!" ”

"Oh? The messenger of Western Xia? ”

Zhang Xiaojie hurriedly straightened up, since there is a national letter, it is a major matter related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so Zhang Xiaojie said to Wu Hao: "The envoy has come from afar, please go to the government office to discuss matters!" ”

After arriving at the government office, he met Ma Zhi, the Pingzhang of Zhongshu Province, who was also present, so he was called together by Zhang Xiaojie.

Hearing that the envoy from Western Xia was coming, Ma Zhi whispered to Zhang Xiaojie: "It must be for the Western Xia war!" ”

Sure enough, Wu Hao hugged his fists at Zhang Xiaojie and Ma Zhi and said: "Two adults, our country and Daliao have always been dependent on each other, and they have the same relationship. Moreover, the lord of our country is the son-in-law of the Liao country, and the queen of the country is the princess of the great Liao, so this time the country is in trouble, and the lord and the queen jointly revised a letter, so that the foreign ministers can go to the great Liao, begging the great Liao to send troops to save each other, and turn the tide and fall immediately! ”

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Xiaojie and Ma Zhi glanced at each other.

Obviously, the relationship between Ma Zhi and Zhang Xiaojie is closer than that between him and Zhang Yuanzhi.

Zhang Xiaojie asked Wu Hao in surprise: "What the envoy said, but is it true?" Is this An Dynasty really so powerful? ”

Wu Hao nodded and replied: "The An Dynasty has Xiao Mo as the general, and he is also a kind of Shiheng treacherous and resourceful, and he has earned the ambiguity between the lord of the country and the Dang Xiang clan, and then the traitor Yeli Yu Qi and Wu Zang Pang led the army to Shun The An Dynasty, and now the An Dynasty has an army of nearly 500,000 people, and has broken through Xiping City and hit Jingzhou!" ”

"This ......" Zhang Xiaojie listened, and took the so-called national letter in Wu Hao's hand.

This letter of state was written to Yelu Hongji, and Zhang Xiaojie naturally didn't dare to open it and read it.

Then Zhang Xiaojie said to Wu Hao: "Don't worry, the messenger, the old man is here to meet the saint with Master Ma." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi was still cultivating, so Zhang Xiaojie asked him to wait in the political office with Wu Hao.

After leaving the government office with Ma Zhi, Zhang Xiaojie took advantage of Ma Zhi's inattention and secretly rejoiced.

This is really if you want to sleep, someone sent a pillow, Zhang Xiaojie is looking for an opportunity to transfer the army of Liao, and then prepare for Xiao Tianzuo in Liaodong and King Han in Beijing, but he has not been able to find an excuse, and now Wu Hao is here.

In fact, Zhang Xiaojie was afraid that it was Meng Gongzuo, as long as Meng Gongzuo and his iron cavalry were there, Xiao Hui and Xiao Tianzuo would be in danger if they started trouble in Liaodong and Shangjing.

Because of Meng Gong's iron horse, it is an invincible existence on the grassland!

So Zhang Xiaojie naturally wished that the Liao State could send troops, and if the troops were sent now, the Liao State could only send Meng Gong to make it, because Yunnei Prefecture and Daizhou still needed Yelu Aluhan to guard it! Therefore, Zhang Xiaojie did not hesitate at all, and immediately went to the palace to ask to see Yelu Hongji after receiving the national credentials.

In recent times, Yelu Hongji's life has not been very fast.

After losing to An Chao one after another, Yelu Hongji's heart was also anxious, and now that he was getting older, he had more things to think about.

Those women in the Western Regions, after all, are just for Yelu Hongji to have fun, and when it comes to the inheritance of heirs, of course, they have to rely on their own concubines, so Yelu Hongji also sent someone to Shangjing to express his meaning to Xiao Guanyin euphemistically, but Xiao Guanyin never replied.

On this day, Yelu Hongji was sitting alone in the imperial study, and then Zhang Xiaojie and Ma Zhi came!
