Although Xiao Youdan's visit seemed very abrupt, Aliti did not think so. Even if Xiao Youdan did not come to visit today, he would meet Xiao Youdan as soon as possible to reach a certain consensus and use the Liao Kingdom to exert necessary influence on the Song Dynasty to achieve his goals.

Although no one knows any "geopolitical science" in this era, people have already had a vague understanding of it. The strategy of getting along with each other has long been played by them. Although in terms of military, since the establishment of the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty and Liaoxia have launched wars with each other. Although the Song army in the Three Kingdoms have been defeated one after another, because the Song Dynasty occupied the most favorable living environment, the Liao Dynasty and Xixia still abandoned their prejudices and joined forces to suppress the development of the Song Dynasty. Although the two countries have never sent troops to launch wars with the Song Dynasty at the same time, when one of the countries sent troops, the other country was also ready to send troops to distribute troops to the border to threaten the Song army's military operations at the latest, and put pressure on Song Ting to force him to concessions and cede land and pay compensation.

In this political context, it is normal for the envoys from the Liao Kingdom and the Xixia to have deep personal friendships with each other, especially the two envoys with far-reaching political gaze to cooperate with each other, and Xiao Youdan and Aliti are examples.

"Brother Xiao, I have never seen the style of the past for many years!" Aliti stood up and smiled and bowed to Xiao Youdan who had just stepped into the door.

"Sir, too. Youdan dare not be more beautiful than before!" Xiao Youdan bowed with a smile.

After hearing this, Aliti just smiled slightly. However, he was worried about too many things now, and his future was uncertain. Xiao Youdan had been in Biandu for so long, so he was naturally very concerned about the every move of the Song Dynasty. Although he was not clear about the details of the Song Xia war, he naturally had his own intelligence network. He knew a lot of things that the Song people had never heard of. However, there was no doubt that Xixia had faced the most dangerous situation since its establishment. The Song army had invaded Xixia and seized nearly a quarter of Xixia's territory. Considering that Xixia itself was desert-rich and unsuitable for human and animal-friendly living areas, this quarter of the land area was extremely dangerous compared to a country.

"Sir, I came to Biandu to have peace talks with the Southern Dynasty, but what trouble did your country encounter?!" Xiao Youdan immediately entered the topic after the two of them politely made each other a while.

After hearing this, Aliti said with a wry smile: "I guess Brother Xiao has heard about the incident between our country and the Southern Dynasties?! Li Qing plotted to rebel and cede land to become king, but was controlled by the Song army and surrendered to the Song army. Now the vanguard of the Song army has arrived before Xiping Prefecture. If he doesn't find a way, there will be a risk of the country's destruction!"

Xiao Youdan knew about Li Qing's escape from Xixia. Although he had a better personal relationship with Aliti, there were wars between Xixia and Liao Kingdoms. What's more, Song and Liao had always obtained horse resources from Xixia during the war. Although they had common enemies, it did not mean that the two could meet honestly. In Xiao Youdan's opinion, it would be best if Xixia was stronger and stronger and crippled the Song Dynasty. If both countries were injured, it would be a wonderful thing.

Xiao Youdan didn't know about Li Qing's surrender to Song Dynasty. In fact, it was precisely because the news was difficult to convey that Xiao Youdan's news was always behind the senior management of the Biandu of the Song Dynasty for at least twenty days. It was precisely because of this time difference that he did not know that Xixia's current situation was worse than he expected.

Xiao Youdan was a little stunned after hearing this. He also knew that the battlefield was changing rapidly, but Li Qing's Poxi Army was famous all over the world. Even if he suffered a relatively large loss, it would be impossible to deal with the third-rate level of the Song army without a year and a half. This obviously exceeded his expected level of combat effectiveness of the Song army. It is too late to say anything now. Li Qing's surrender to Song not only brought danger to Xixia to destroy the country, but also made the Liao Kingdom a little at a loss. Xiao Youdan knew the consequences of the Song army pacifying Xia. In his opinion, the Liao Kingdom needed Xixia to hold up the Song Dynasty and consume the strength of the Song Dynasty to the greatest extent in order to gain the necessary time for the revival of the Liao Kingdom - although now

Liao was in charge of the king of Wei. There was nowhere to talk about revival, but he always believed that when the crown prince ascended the throne, or even two years later, the crown prince reached the age of regent, the revival of the Liao Kingdom could begin. Although this time was a little late and the revival progress was slower than that of the Song Dynasty, he believed that the Liao Kingdom's military power was stronger than that of the Song Dynasty, so he took a certain advantage. A few years or even more than ten years later, it was still unknown who would win the battle between the two countries. The Liao Kingdom did not have hope of a fight, but now the Western Xia was destroyed. After obtaining the resources of the Western Xia horses, the Song Dynasty could have the ability to actively attack the Liao Kingdom in a few years, which was not what he wanted to see.

Having said that, the danger of the Western Xia Kingdom was not all bad for Xiao Youdan - Xiao Youdan knew very well that the faces of the rulers and ministers of the Western Xia Kingdom were so worthless to them in order to maintain their glory, wealth and respectful status. In this case, as long as the "price" offered by the Liao Kingdom is appropriate, it may not be impossible for Xixia to surrender and merge into the Liao Kingdom!

After listening to Aliti's brief introduction to the current situation in the northwest, Xiao Youdan kept quickly calculating the pros and cons of the current situation for the Liao Kingdom - the risks are huge, but the benefits are also huge. The key is how the Liao Kingdom operates this matter now and gets its own benefits in the battle between Song and Xia!

Xiao Youdan also understood that this was taking the stern from the fire, but in his opinion, if Xixia solstice wanted to rely on the previous military force to threaten retreat, it would probably be counterproductive and angered the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers. Since Xixia is hopeless, it would be more cost-effective to take the opportunity to take advantage of the insult to get what he wanted! Of course, if it was really like Xiao Youdan initially thought in his heart, the territory occupied by the Song army would not be back, and doing so would also make the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers.

Very angry--they spent decades to eradicate the Western Xia, and they only saw the dawn today, but the fruit of the greatest victory was obtained by the Liao Kingdom without a single soldier. How could this make them balance their mentally? Annexing the Western Xia also took a great risk. The key is to bet that the Song Dynasty did not have the strength to provoke itself. However, if the Song Dynasty rulers and ministers made up their minds and snatched food from the same tiger, the Liao Kingdom would have no choice but to do anything - the Liao Kingdom could no longer withstand the war, and even had no money to start the war!

Aliti looked at Xiao Youdan with a slightly changed expression and thought that Xiao Youdan was thinking about solving the problem of Xixia now. However, he didn't know that Xiao Youdan was ready to abandon Xixia in exchange for the greatest benefit to the Liao Kingdom. Aliti was old and did not know that he was inducing another powerful country to divide his country. The political means are the most active today. The political practices of how countries get along with each other are being formed within Biandu. As the various thoughts set off by Xiao Wang's son-in-law have seriously impacted people's inherent understanding. Aliti has not been in Kaifeng, Biandu in recent years, so he did not feel the meaning contained therein. He also thought about the relationship between countries based on the common sense of the past, which is destined to fall on this issue!

Based on the rapid changes between Song and Xia, Xiao Youdan did not talk about any substantial issues with Aliti in this meeting. Because Xiao Youdan had decided to give up the Western Xia to fight for his greatest victory for the Liao Kingdom. At the same time, if the matter was done properly, the prince and his group of people made suggestions, so that the Liao Kingdom could obtain a large area of ​​territory without any effort. Since ancient times, the greatest achievements are military merits. The first priority is military merits. The second is the merits of expanding the territory. Many famous generals are victorious for not fighting.

When working hard, even King Yelu Yixin of Wei was very concerned about the merits like Xiao Youdan, who was able to obtain nearly half of the territory of Xixia through a mouth. Throughout history, there have been examples like Xiao Youdan, who used his mouth to obtain land by using his mouth, but he was absolutely unable to surpass him with his results. When he thought of these, Xiao Youdan, who was sitting in a carriage, returned to his embassy, ​​was a little daring, but there was also someone who made him even more concerned - the Prince Consort of Xiao Wang.

"Will he think of these? How should he deal with it when he knows it? Will the Song Dynasty rulers and ministers really make up their minds to attack Liao?!" Xiao Youdan kept thinking in his mind. Perhaps it was just in line with the famous saying in later generations - the person who knows you best is not you and the people close to you, but your enemy! Xiao Youdan has been paying attention to the news of this young prince-consort since he began to pay attention to Wang Jinghui. The heavy lessons brought by the failure of the two assassinations made him unforgettable, so in this case, the person who knows Wang Jinghui the most is probably the envoy of the Liao Kingdom to the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Xiao Youdan didn't know that, as he was visiting Aliti, the resentful Xiao Hugu suddenly sat up from the hospital bed while he was seriously ill and coma, with his eyes open and his fists clenched, and his mouth was not known to be saying anything useful. The family members next to him were really unable to tell any useful information from the faint sound. When the cheerful greetings began to wake up, they found that Xiao Hugu had died - he was dying!

After returning to the embassy, ​​Xiao Youdan began to write a letter to Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Great Liao Dynasty. However, when he saw the letter he had written with great difficulty, he began to hesitate again. It was not that the King of Wei was in the Wei Dynasty. Anyone could see that the plan to take advantage of the plan was very sure of success, but the person who made suggestions was not from the King of Wei Dynasty. Can the King of Wei make this plan pass? What's more, the King of Wei has already gained the trust of Emperor Yelu Hongji. In addition to attacking the Song Dynasty, almost all the matters of Wei Dynasty were decided by King Yelu Yixin alone. In this case, can his letter still reach the hands of Emperor Yelu Hongji?!

Xiao Youdan sat back on the chair with the letter in his hand. The King of Wei was definitely not a fool. Of course, he could see the weight of this plan, let alone his aides. Yelu Yixin would definitely interfere with it and not allow himself to obtain this great contribution. His identity was clearly marked as "the prince" - his nephew was the prince Yelu Jun, and this identity could not be avoided no matter what. Even if his letter could be lucky enough to be brought to the hands of Emperor Yelu Hongji, it would be easy for the King of Wei to oppose it - since the end of the Xia and Liao War decades ago, the two countries have entered a honeymoon period, especially the friendly alliance formed by the Emperor of Liao and Xixia intermarriage, which is the basis of the alliance between Liao and Xia.

"It seems that it's time to go back!" Xiao Youdan said silently in his heart. The reason why he didn't go back with Xiao Hugu before was because he wanted to use a network of relationships he managed in the Song Dynasty to spy on the military intelligence and the structure of the city defense fortifications. However, the damn Xiao Wang prince consort started quickly and ruthlessly, transferring all the information on the bribery of Song officials who had anything to do to the Imperial City Department. In anger, the Song Dynasty emperor two third-rank officials and more than a dozen officials of high-ranking ranks were dismissed. In addition to being raided, they were either dismissed from office and imprisoned, or simply exiled to Lingnan or even Mayi Island!

Emperor Zhao Xu was relieved of so many officials overnight. The handling methods were also extremely strict, which was extremely rare since the founding of the Song Dynasty, but the response between the government and the opposition was not very large - no one would speak for them because they accepted bribes from the Liao Kingdom! They each involved some officials of the reformists and conservatives, but Wang Anshi and Sima Guang rarely reached a consensus on this issue, which made Emperor Zhao Xu's harsh judgment the most effective and fastest implementation. With the severe disposal methods of the Song Dynasty emperor, Xiao Youdan's network was destroyed overnight after years of hard work. This was also the first open and secret struggle between spies between the two countries. The Imperial City Office was pushed to the front and was praised by the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. The intelligence bureau chaired by the son-in-law was hidden behind the scenes.

Xiao Youdan didn't believe that Wang Jinghui was so clean in this matter. The intelligence agency formed by such a shrewd opponent would lag behind the inefficient Imperial City Department in this regard. Xiao Youdan knew that it must be Wang Jinghui who was behind him. Otherwise, there would be no coincidence. The assassination in the front failed, and the network he ran later collapsed? All of this was calculated by Xiao Wang's prince consort!

Thinking of this, Xiao Youdan immediately thought of the wealth that Aliti brought. Aliti wanted to bribe the ministers of the Song Dynasty to seek opportunities for the survival of the Western Xia. This was indeed a good way in the past. However, now the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had just cleaned it with his iron-blooded wrist before doing such a thing, I am afraid Aliti would be disappointed.

"Is this designed by Xiao Wang's prince consort long ago?!" Xiao Youdan felt a chill in his heart. Facing such an opponent with powerful computing power, he felt a little desperate.

In fact, Xiao Youdan really admires Wang Jinghui. The reason why Wang Jinghui sent the information of those corrupt officials to the Imperial City Department was because he wanted to thank the Imperial City Department for the convenience he gave him, so that the Imperial City Department could make contributions to improve its image in Song Chen's heart, and also formed a friendship. When the Intelligence Bureau and the Imperial City Department cooperated again in the future, the Imperial City Department would help in this incense relationship - in Wang Jinghui's heart, intelligence work is one at home and abroad, and should not be separated. This will definitely cause feelings.

The workplace is inefficient and even causes losses that should not have occurred; in addition, he wants to avoid his edge, so he doesn't need any credit to add a new halo to himself. Doing this is a fool, keeping a low profile is what he should do, and he has no intention of fighting power. It is the most cost-effective to withdraw from his body and do something practical! As for the cleaning campaign caused by this, when Aliti wanted to bribe, it was a complete coincidence. Xiao Youdan thought too much. If Wang Jinghui was really so amazing, then how could there be a way out for the Liao Kingdom?!

"The Southern Dynasty should not be staying there. Although the prince-consort of Xiao Wang and the ministers of the Song Dynasty would be worried about their identity as envoys and would not do anything to them, with the prince-consort of Xiao Wang always paying attention to him, he would not get any useful things anymore. It would be better to simply return to Liao Kingdom and help the prince with all his heart. In just two years, the prince can take power. He just needs to go back and help himself, and the emperor's promise to him can come in handy!" Xiao Youdan was thinking in his heart.

"What?! Xiao Youdan is leaving?!" Wang Jinghui said in surprise. In his imagination, Xiao Youdan had no plans to leave during the "Great Purge". This almost made him admire Xiao Youdan's perseverance. In the limelight, Xiao Youdan wanted to return to China again. What medicine is sold in this gourd?

"He has no achievements in the Song Dynasty. Besides, the gentleman is staring at him so closely. Thinking that such a smart person should not do stupid things anymore, returning to China is naturally the best choice!" Yansheng had no idea about this. He was unwilling to complicate things, and he saw it much more clearly than Wang Jinghui. Wang Jinghui is now full of "conspiracy", but what tricks can the enemy use in this situation?

Wang Jinghui thought about it and said, "It seems that I am too careless! But if I allow such a person to return to the Khitan, I may be restless in the future. It is better to see him off, so I will not be able to cause trouble for me in the future. With this person's perseverance and talent, it may not be impossible!"
