Chapter 1506

Emperor Zhao Xu wanted to destroy Xixia with one stick, but he was always dissuaded by his ministers. Why? It was because Northern Liao and Xixia were in harmony with each other.

The two sides led each other to support the great aid, making it difficult for the Song Dynasty to go down in one go and pacify the northwest border.

This is why Wang Yang tried his best to persuade the emperor and a group of important officials to open up a second battlefield in the Liaodong area.

For the Song Dynasty, the Liaodong Peninsula was equivalent to an enclave. Even if it was lost, it would not cause much loss to the Song Dynasty. However, for the Northern Liao Dynasty, the Liaodong Peninsula was very close to the confidant place of Tokyo Road in Northern Liao.

Now, all the navy of Northern Liao were destroyed by the Song Dynasty, which led to Northern Liao having to draw heavy troops to defend the Liaohai front line, which reduced the attention of Northern Liao to Hedong Road to a very dangerous level.

Because compared with this Hedong Road, the Liaohai area is connected to Liaodong Road above and Nanjing Road below, and can directly enter the hinterland of Zhongjing Road in the middle.

Without the protection of the navy, he had to guard against heavy troops. Because the Song Dynasty, which controlled the entire Liaohai Sea, had the power to control the sea, would inevitably shock the entire Northern Liao Dynasty and be in a hurry as long as he wanted to land at any position in the Liaohai Sea.

Now, after the new emperor of Northern Liao ascended the throne, he not only did not make timely adjustments and responses to the Song Dynasty's strategy, but instead arrested and killed important officials of Northern Liao under the banner of revenge of Prince Zhaohuai, who wanted to die for his in vain by Yelu Yixin.

The entire Northern Liao Dynasty and the country were smoky and chaotic, and the domestic political situation had reached a very dangerous situation. As a result, this was not over. Another tragedy of obvious conflicts between ministers and framed each other.

However, it is definitely a rare good news for Zhao Xu, Wang Yang, Su Dongpo, Zhang Feng, and many bigwigs in the Song Dynasty who have always maintained an enterprising spirit.

As for the other bigwigs who were bullied, or even if they had different opinions from the emperor, but were not valued, they could only follow the crowd.

After all, the will of the emperor is the will of the Song Dynasty.

As soon as he received the news, Zhong Shidao immediately activated the hidden thread that had almost never been used and released a pigeon letter to the Liaoyang Mansion.

In the end, Nie Yuan, the head of the Song Dynasty secret agent of Liaoyang Prefecture and the Imperial City Office, repaid his ambition to die and went straight to Xiao Yu's mansion.

Xiao Yu is the brother of Yelu Yanxi's Concubine Wen and Yelu Yuji's wife. Although he is a scholar with no power, he is still a little talented at least.

Looking at the content of the letter stamped with the seals of the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty and the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, my eyes turned black and my ears buzzed. It took me a long time to come back to my senses.

"You, who are you?! Do you want to die?!" Xiao Yu jumped up, pulled out a knife from the waist of the guard beside him, and directly hit Nie Yuan's neck.

"If it weren't for Mr. Xiao, you believed in the authenticity of this letter from the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty and the Imperial City Department, Nie didn't have to come in person..." Nie Yuan lowered his head slightly, glanced at the sharp blade that had already cut a blood mark on his neck, smiled contemptuously, and said to himself.

"If you don't want to believe it, just send someone along the way at the fastest speed. Yelu Shuobo and his three thousand elite soldiers will probably only have three or five days at most, and they will enter Tokyo Road."

"At that time, even if you have the ability to understand the sky and the earth, you are afraid you will be powerless to turn the sky back."

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed tightly, and his mouth trembled slightly. "Why did your Song Kingdom receive the news earlier than us? This is impossible."

"Mr. Xiao, perhaps for ordinary people, many things are impossible. Unfortunately, we have Lord Wang Yang in our Song Dynasty, so many things that seem impossible for you are in my Song Dynasty are possible." Nie Yuan looked at the brother of the Liao Dynasty Concubine Wen, and could not help but feel proud.

"In addition, Nie also wanted to tell Mr. Xiao a news that originally, Nie only needed to send his spies to come. Unfortunately, Lord Wang Yang was Nie's classmate in the Imperial College. Nie was unwilling to be named an Imperial College, and he was even more unwilling to let down the title of Wang Yang's classmate, so you came in person."

"If Mr. Xiao doesn't believe Nie's words, he can detain Nie here and send someone to check immediately along the way to see if a slim army is coming towards Tokyo in a murderous way."

"If not, then whether Mr. Xiao cut Nie's head or took Nie to the capital, Mr. Xiao could make a contribution to the Northern Liao Dynasty."

Seeing Xiao Yu's eyes rolling rapidly and hesitating, Nie Yuan spoke again. "But Nie still has a word of advice. I hope Mr. Xiao will be better prepared for both."

"If this matter is true, then, as General Yelu's wife and brother-in-law, Mr. Xiao, the brother of Concubine Wen, you should first pass on the matter to General Yelu. Even if Yelu Shuobo led his army north, with Yelu Yuji's management in Tokyo Road for several years, he will finally be able to deal with it and save his life."

"People come, detain him in the ground kiln first. You, quickly present this item to the Yelu General Manager. Please make a decision..."

Nie Yuan was taken down, and Xin was sent to Yelu Yu's place by his confidant, but Xiao Yu's heart kept beating and could not calm down.

However, after two incense sticks, there were rapid footsteps. Xiao Yu quickly walked out of the study door and saw Yelu Yuji coming over in person.

He couldn't help but take a breath, and a heart that was already uneasy instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. "Master Master, why are you here?"

"I want to see the sender, where is he?" After Yelu Yuji, who was tall and powerful, quickly entered Xiao Yu's study, he ordered directly, and his tone seemed very unkind to interrupt Xiao Yu's question.

Xiao Yu naturally did not dare to neglect, so he quickly sent Nie Yuan to take him over, while looking at Yelu Yuji. After Yelu Yuji took off the iron helmet from his head, he saw the heat ignited, which showed how hasty he had come to this trip.

As if seeing Xiao Yu want to ask again, Yelu Yuji raised his hand and interrupted Xiao Yu's question that was almost blurted out.

"Don't ask your brother-in-law, please wait for me to interrogate the person you come here, and I'll tell you later."

After hearing what Yelu Yu saw, Xiao Yu shut up obediently. No matter in terms of talent or strategy, he was far inferior to this sister-in-law. Xiao Yu was very self-aware.

He also knew that his future wealth would also depend on this talented and wise son-in-law, so he rushed here to serve his sister-in-law after seeing that there was no chance in the capital.
