"Yes, this matter has been approved by Your Majesty." Gao Wei said to Li Bingchang and Li Wu. "Your Majesty has decided to include the thirty-seven Kingdoms of Liaodong within the jurisdiction of the empire and establish the Andong Protectorate in Liaodong. This official will serve as the Andong Protectorate in the time being, and General Qin Hu will be the commander of the Andong Army, responsible for forming the Andong Army."

After Gao Wei said that, he took out the seal of the Anton Protectorate sent by Li Liangzuo and the imperial edict to appoint Gao Wei. After seeing the seal and imperial edict, Li Bingchang confirmed that what Gao Wei said was true. It is not so easy to truly establish the Anton Protectorate. This is not something that Li Liangzuo could solve by issuing an appointment letter to a large seal. First of all, the Anton Protectorate had to choose a garrison in Liaodong. This alone was extremely difficult to achieve. After all, the entire Liaodong has been divided up by the thirty-seven countries.

"Sir Gao, since you want to establish the Andong Protectorate, you must choose a place!" Li Wu said to Gao Wei. "I think you might as well forget it here, and the territory is also a thousand miles away."

"No." Gao Wei objected; "The territory here is large, but it cannot effectively control the entire Northeast region. The base of the Andong Protectorate must be the core area of ​​the entire Northeast region."

"Core area?" Li Bingchang asked in surprise: "Isn't that the Liaoyang Prefecture? Isn't that the royal city of the Boliao Kingdom?"

"It is impossible for Liaoyang Prefecture." Gao Wei said to Li Bingchang; "Not Xiao Talin's nest, it is natural that we cannot let us settle in. We can only choose another place."

"Looking at Master Gao, you are confident." Li Wu said to Gao Wei with a smile.

Gao Wei walked to the map and said, "I have considered this matter a long time ago. I plan to arrange the base of Anton Protectorate here..."

Li Wu looked at the mark on the map and said, "Lejiaocheng."

"Yes, it's Lejiao City." Gao Wei said with sharp eyes; "Lejiao City, also known as Shenzhou, is located on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Liao River, on the west side of the Liaodong hills, and is located in the western edge of the Liaohe Plain. It has a flat terrain and fertile soil. In addition, Lejiao City is located at the junction of the Bohai Kingdom, the Bohai Kingdom and the Jurchen Kingdom. It sets the Andong Protectorate here, which can effectively control the Three Kingdoms."

"Lejiao area is indeed a good place. Although it is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, it is actually controlled by the Boliao Kingdom." Li Bingchang said to Gao Wei; "We just cheated Xiao Talin, and I'm afraid people will refuse to let him hand over Lejiao City!"

"That depends on my method." Gao Wei said with a fierce look on his face; "Even the things that my Daxia Kingdom likes, even the Heavenly King will let go."

After confirming everything, Gao Wei took Li Bingchang and Li Wu to negotiate with the Boliao Army camp on the north bank of the Yalu River. Although Xiao Talin was very angry at this time, he did not dare to turn against Gao Wei. After all, Gao Wei represents the Daxia Kingdom. Now the Boliao Kingdom and the strength to challenge the Daxia Kingdom are not as strong as the Daxia Kingdom.

Gao Wei immediately said straight to the point when he saw Xiao Talin. "The King of Boliao is polite. I have some things to discuss with the king. Now the war in Goryeo has ended, and the Boliao Kingdom has paid a great price for this. Although the decisive war was the big one of our Xia army, the Boliao army has also made a lot of efforts. The result of this battle is not very suitable for me to take over by our Xia army."

When Xiao Talin heard Gao Wei say this, his face immediately showed joy, but it soon became gloomy. Because Xiao Talin knew that Gao Wei could not be so kind, Xiao Talin asked Gao Wei: "I don't know how the envoy plans to compensate our country?"

Gao Wei smiled and said, "It's very simple. The territory that is thousands of miles north of the Datong River south of the Yalu River belongs to the Boliao Kingdom."

As soon as Gao Wei finished speaking, Xiao Talin's eyes were straightened. This land of thousands of miles was exactly what Xiao Talin dreamed of. Xiao Talin didn't expect Gao Wei to give it to him like this, but then Gao Wei continued: "However, these territory were not given to the king for nothing. The king needs to exchange for things."

Xiao Talin frowned and said, "Things, what?"

Gao Wei took out a map and said: "According to the ancient system, we use land to form land. My official means to exchange land south of the Yalu River to the north of the Datong River in exchange for Lejiao of the Boliao Kingdom and its land within a radius of hundreds of miles."

"Lejiao?" Xiao Talin frowned and thought to himself, "What do this guy want Lejiao to do? Although Lejiao is controlled by our Boliao Kingdom, it is located in the northern border and is a bridgehead for our Boliao Kingdom to defend the Jurchen Kingdom in the north. Moreover, the situation around Lejiao is complicated for hundreds of miles, and it is not all controlled by our Boliao Kingdom. And once Lejiao is handed over to the Daxia Kingdom, wouldn't my Liaoyang Prefecture be under the Xia army's military peak at any time?"

After careful consideration, Xiao Talin said to Gao Wei: "Mr. Gao, this matter is of great importance. Xiao Wang needs to discuss it with the ministers."

"Okay, I will give the king one day. At this time tomorrow, I hope to get a satisfactory result." Gao Wei said to Xiao Talin with a smile.

After Gao Wei left, Xiao Talin asked Xiao Jinghuan: "Huan'er, do you think we want to use the Xia army to control the land?"

"Son, please follow the instructions of your father." Xiao Jinghuan said respectfully.

Xiao Talin sighed and said, "You are the eldest son of the king and the prince of Boliao Kingdom. I still need you to inherit my throne in the future. How can you do it without any opinion!"

Xiao Jinghuan looked at Xiao Jinghuan and said, "Father, I have a lot of experience in the Battle of Goryeo, especially I have a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Xia army. The combat effectiveness of the Xia army is not only because of ordinary soldiers, but more importantly, the grassroots officers. Every Xia army soldier who has been on the battlefield can even become grassroots officers. They can recruit soldiers to expand at any time when they go to the place. Take this example. The reason why the Xia army lost control of the army was largely because the Xia army replaced all our grassroots officers, and also brainwashed our soldiers and used their interests to lure them..."

"Huan'er, what do you mean?" Xiao Talin asked Xiao Jinghuan.

Xiao Jinghuan bowed to Xiao Talin and said, "Father, do you think that even if our Boliao Kingdom unifies the 37 countries and blocks Jinzhou, we can compete with the Xia army? The reason why the Xia army has not reached here now is because the Xia army does not border Liaodong, otherwise the Xia emperor would not be able to implement the feudal division. My son thought that our Boliao Kingdom should change its national policy and give up unifying the 37 countries, and from then on, we sincerely became the vassal of the Great Xia Kingdom and obeyed the orders. In this way, our Xiao family may be able to maintain the throne of the Boliao Kingdom forever and can be king Liaodong for generations;

Now the strength of the Daxia Kingdom is in an upward period. At this time, no country will have a good end to the Daxia Kingdom. Xizhou Uighurs, Liao Kingdom, Naiman tribes, etc. are all living examples. If the father continues to adhere to the national policy, then the Boliao Kingdom will become the next stepping stone for the Daxia Kingdom. And even if the Xia army does not enter the Liaodong area, it will be replaced by others to replace our Xiao family as the leader of Liaodong. And if our Xiao family goes to war with the Daxia Kingdom, will those civil and military officials follow the death? Will they rebel under the coercion and temptation of the Daxia Kingdom? The possibility of all this is too great. Please think twice."
