There were many scholars of the Song Dynasty who defected to the Western Xia, such as the famous Zhang Yuan and Jing Xun. However, the common feature of these people was that they were not successful in the Song Dynasty, so they held a grudge against the Song Dynasty and simply voted for the Western Xia in order to seek glory and wealth.

But Zhang Dun was obviously not.

Because Zhang Dun presided over the Xihe Border with Wang Shao, he helped the Song Dynasty create the greatest military achievements since the Song Dynasty.

Logically speaking, for such contributions, Zhang Dun had to be a high-ranking official after he returned, and it was possible to become a Privy Councilor in a few years.

That's a prime minister, no matter how unsuccessful it is, right?

Why did such a person hide his identity, come to his own subordinates, and encourage him to go to Li Bingchang? What's going on?

It is quite a bit difficult to understand.

"It's hard for me to understand." Pochao Dongqing said.

Zhang Dun understood Pochao Dongqing's confusion, but he just smiled slightly: "Does Pochao care who is sitting on the emperor's throne?"

Po Chao Dongqing shook his head. It’s not that I am the emperor, but whoever does the rest is the same. Whether the Liang family is in power or Li Bingchang is in power, it is actually no different for him. Of course, if he can help Li Bingchang win the world, it would be different.

"Will Brother Pochao care about whether the Han or Dangxiang people are sitting on the emperor's throne?"

Po Chao Dongqing shook his head again. If he minded, the Liang family would be in power and he should raise an army.

"What the hell do you want to say?"

Luo Juyidao.

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "The one who assists the Emperor now is a group of Han people. His Majesty also wants to implement the Han rituals. In the future, the Great Xia will not be distinguished from the Fan Han people, the Dangxiang people or the Han people. Since this is the case, what's the strange thing about me, the Han people, supports His Majesty the Emperor?"

Luo Juyi stared at Zhang Dun and said, "You still didn't tell us what you really want?

Don't tell me any power. If you care about this thing, you will be within your reach in the Song Dynasty. There is no need to come to Daxia.

In terms of wealth, the Song Dynasty was much richer than the Great Xia Dynasty, so where is the world of literati?

So, what do you want, or what do you guys want!”

Faced with Luo Juyi's aggressiveness, Zhang Dun frowned. If he didn't give an answer today, he would probably not be able to get out of here. If he wanted to give Ouyang Bian a great gift, he might not be able to give it.

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "Do you know who is around Li Bingchang now?"

Luo Juyi and Pochao Dongqing looked at each other, and both shook their heads.

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Ouyang Bian."

Zhang Dun's words were like a bolt from the blue, blowing Luo Juyi and Pochao Dongqing to the point of being confused.

"Yongxing Junlu Road Advisor Ouyang Bian? Isn't he dead? If it were him, why did he have to hide his name to assist Li Bingchang? Is he crazy? Are you here to subvert Daxia!"

Po Chao Dongqing stared at Zhang Dun tightly, holding the handle of the knife around his waist with his right hand. If Zhang Dun did not answer the next sentence, he would probably be chopped by the knife on the spot.

Zhang Dun smiled and put his hands into his sleeves, his expression extremely relaxed.

"Brother Pochao, Brother Luo, let me tell you a story."

Zhang Dun's expression gradually became solemn.

"There was a man who was only eight or nine years old when he was very young. At that time, he had already shown his intelligence and talent. So his teacher asked him what he wanted to do in the future. At first he didn't want to say it, but later he was forced to speak the four words.

Those four sentences are - establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages!..."

Luo Juyi said in surprise: "Isn't this Ouyang Bian's famous saying?"

Pochao Dongqing doesn't like reading, but he understands these four sentences, and it feels deafening.

Zhang Dun nodded, with respect in his tone.

"That's right, it's Ji Mo. Ji Mo passed the top scorer and then started to become an official. He had a mission, so he founded the Central Bank of the Song Dynasty, and then built the roads in full swing. Then he began to reform, and the Song Dynasty became rich and strong as a result.

However, there were too many conservative people in the Song Dynasty. No matter what Ji Mo did, there were people who opposed it, so Ji Mo rose and fell.

Especially the fact that he was demoted to Yongxing Junlu made him understand, and those of us who have always followed him also understood that we cannot realize our ideals in the Song Dynasty, unless we rebel, but it is too difficult to rebel in the Song Dynasty."

Luo Juyi said: "So, do you look at Daxia?"

Zhang Dun nodded: "That's right, I'm not afraid to tell you, what we want is to use Daxia as the foundation to gradually annex the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty, the Uighurs in the west, and the Tubo tribes in the south, establish a super-large country and restore the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

Po Chao Dongqing and Luo Juyi were a little dumbfounded and looked at Zhang Dun with incredible eyes. The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "I think we are all crazy?"

Luo Juyi didn't say anything, but his eyes said everything.

But Po Chao Dongqing said angrily: "Crazy, you are all crazy!"

Zhang Dun laughed: "Yes, we are all crazy people!

In fact, it is normal for you to think so. When it was late at night, I was also asking myself, am I crazy? How could I have such an idea? I even took action!

I couldn't figure out what the driving force was, but suddenly one day I figured it out because of Ouyang Bian!

It is because of my trust in him that I think this incredible thing is actually not a completely fantasy.

If you have met Ouyang Bian, you may think so too."

Zhang Dun's words made Luo Juyi and Pochao Dongqing have great interest in the young man Ouyang Bian who had never met, because Zhang Dun's words not only respected the young man, but also felt completely convinced.

Luo Juyi said incrediblely: "Brother Zhang, you are the most talented person I have ever met, but you admire Ouyang Bian so much. Is he even better than you?"

Po Chao Dongqing couldn't help but nod. In his eyes, Zhang Dun was really an amazing person and the smartest person he had ever seen. Is there anyone who is even better than Zhang Dun?

Zhang Dun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "How can Ji Mo and I compare with the light of rice grains, how dare I compete with the sun and the moon?

If you know what Ouyang Bian did, spend the books he wrote, see him, and listen to his words, you will know that in front of him, no one dares to be smart, and no one dares to be talented.

You can ask the businessman of the Song Dynasty, and you can know a little about him.

However, that was just the tip of the iceberg. I have known him for more than ten years and I don’t know where the boundaries of his knowledge are. He is simply a god!”

Po Chao Dongqing and Luo Juyi seemed to have heard a fairy tale.
