Start with detective Li Yuanfang

"Chief coach!"

Yang Xing and Yang Xiong walked in hand in hand from Yanjing's Suian Academy.

Li Yan put down the scroll, his eyes regained his agility: "Sit!"

"Thank you head coach!"

Yang Xiong clasped his fists, Yang Xing, who had become the magistrate of Yanzhou, was more respectful and excited.

In fact, if it was just beginning to occupy Yanyun, if the officials of the Han people knew that the backing of the township army was not the Song court, they would definitely panic, because without a strong court as support, people's hearts would be uncertain, and logistical problems would be even more serious. Boss.

But it was too late when they found out. At the same time, they also realized that although the township army was not of one mind with the Song court, it was not isolated and helpless. On the contrary, Hebei and Shandong, which were close to the rear, were the backing of the township army.

And even with the support of the Song court, the actual logistics mainly come from these two places, and maybe the government offices in various places will push back and forth, and there are many constraints...

As a result, the township army lost its stupid central command, and Lu Junyi, who guarded Tanzhou, was even more brave. Many Han people brought back Yanyun, and their hearts became more and more stable.

Up to now, the township army has occupied Yanyun for nearly a year. If they suddenly announce at this time that they are taking orders from the Zhao and Song courts, it will cause panic in the local area...

Please do not!Never!

The idea of ​​the common people is very simple. Lin Yiyong keeps his word and treats them as adults. They finally have a good life. If another Zhao Song official comes, who knows what will happen?

The officials of Yanyun also have a very practical idea. They have also been promoted and reused now. The current situation has stabilized, and the township army has demonstrated martial arts.

Regardless of whether it is for a peaceful life or a bright future, both soldiers and civilians are willing to follow closely behind the township army!

Under such circumstances, how could Yang Xing not be ecstatic to be able to come into this study and listen to the teachings of the head coach?

Li Yan was also satisfied with this Han official who took the lead to seek refuge.

He now has too few civilized talents under his command, and it takes time to teach, and it is impossible to accomplish it overnight. However, this group of Yanyun Hanmin officials, under the oppression of the Khitan people, have a certain ability to govern and are very obedient, and they are very easy to use.

And the longer the time, the less this group of people dared to betray. No matter whether they were in the north or the south, they would have a hard time ending well.

As a confidant, I still need to gradually investigate, but it is still necessary to set up a few models who have made great progress as an example of encouragement. Yang Xing is one of them, and this meeting is only possible: "How are the envoys of the Liao and Xia Dynasties?"

Yang Xiong, who now joins the Chief Detective's secret camp, said: "Everything is as the Chief Instructor expected. The envoys of the two countries killed each other on the way, and they would put each other to death. We sent people to protect them in time, so we saved them."

Yang Xingdao: "Ever since the main force of the Liao army came through Xixia, they turned against each other and finally forced the monarch of Xixia to cede the land to the Liao Dynasty. face."

Li Yan couldn't be more aware of this, because it was facilitated by his other identity, and asked, "Did Xixia gain the upper hand in the process of assassination by both sides?"

Yang Xiong nodded immediately: "Exactly, the envoy sent by Xixia is named Ren Duo Bao Zhong, he is a general in charge of the army, and the guards around him are also personal guards, not comparable to the envoys of the Liao Kingdom, the chief instructor is really discerning!"

Li Yan said, "From this, what do you see?"

Yang Xiong, as one of the reserve members of the Sui'an Fifth Phase, pondered a little, and said, "Is it true that Xixia is at the end of its rope, and all the treasures are betting on diplomacy?"

Li Yan smiled: "It's not rude, it's true."

"The monarch of Western Xia, Li Qianshun, came to the throne at a young age, and was always in power by his mother. It was only three years since the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was poisoned by an envoy sent by the Liao Kingdom."

"In such a short period of time, he was able to subdue the domestic opposition forces, instigate the Liao Emperor to send troops, and then raise an army of [-] domestic troops to suppress Shaanxi. This person's wise decision is quite remarkable."

"But he can't change Xixia's weakest national power among the Three Kingdoms, and it can't restore the Xixia elite that was damaged by the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang in the previous battles. Therefore, there is actually no chance of fault tolerance in this battle. If it is only defeated by the Western Army It's all right, the loss won't be too big, but it hurts too much to be stabbed in the back by the Liao army this time!"

"The real crisis in Xixia today is not the ceding of land to Liao, but a series of chain reactions triggered by it. The Yujia's personal conquest suffered a disastrous defeat, and the previous pressure will naturally rebound. If I predict it is not bad, the situation in Xixia is definitely In the great chaos, the various Qiang people under the jurisdiction of the Dangxiang people must start to adapt to the wind and find their own way out..."

Yang Xiong nodded repeatedly when he heard this, but Yang Xing vaguely understood that this man was teaching them the skills of negotiation, his eyes moved, and he said boldly: "Thank you for your guidance, Chief Instructor, we will deal with these two groups of envoys well... If they want to see the head coach, we will refuse!"

Li Yan said approvingly: "It is the right way for the envoys of the two countries to wait for Jinling to be summoned at the Daming Mansion, but they lingered for several months and finally went north to Yanyun. Their plan is against the law. I am a big country, and I will not care about it with the barbarians. See you It’s also a courtesy.”

Yang Xing understood, and Yang Xiong asked for advice: "Chief coach, how is the situation in Liao?"

Li Yan smiled: "With Tian Zuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, the Liao Kingdom will not be better."

"Emperor Tianzuo finally returned to the country with the main force of the Liao army after he finished fighting Xixia, but he still stays in Xijing Road. On the one hand, he is forcing Xixia to fulfill the treaty and cede the land so that he can go back to the various ministries. On the other hand, It was Zhongjing Road that was occupied by Yelu Dezhong, while Dongdong Road had a sudden emergence of Jurchen troops, after defeating Yelu Dezhong's crusade, the two sides stopped talking and flirted with each other."

"Originally, there was a Lanling King Xiao Wuna beside Emperor Tianzuo. This time, he turned the crisis into safety in the Song Dynasty. Diplomacy forced the court to sign the Baoyou alliance. No problem, he didn't return to Shangjing for a long time because he was afraid that Xiao Wuna would support Yelu to become the new emperor, but he wanted to kill this old minister, but now he couldn't do it, so he was stalemate like this..."

"To sum up, the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Emperor occupies the Xijing Road, the younger brother Yelude occupies the Zhongjing Road, the Jurchen occupies the Tokyo Road, and the Nanjing Road, that is, Yanyun is restored. Such a domestic situation, although still It has not reached the point where it is truly fragmented, but the balance it maintains is also extremely fragile."

"At this time of internal worries, it must be Xiao Wuna's plan to send envoys from the Liao Kingdom to Yanyun. He is afraid that I, Yanyun, will send troops to the north again. For this reason, there may not be an imperial decree and written order from the Liao Emperor."

"Because the self-willed Yelu Yanxi, after seizing Xixia's territory, can no longer accept bowing to Yanyun. You can attack from this, and the Liao envoy will be tired of dealing with it."

As a member of the Chief Detective Secret Battalion, Yang Xiong has obtained a lot of information, but he does not have such a clear view of the overall situation. Hearing it can be said to be enlightening: "So...so..."

Yang Xing's heart was even more at ease.

As Yanyun Han people who lived on the breath of the Khitan people since childhood, it is obviously impossible to completely lose their sense of fear in just one year, but the reality now tells them that the Khitan people can not only defeat , and slipping step by step into the abyss of eternal doom!

At this point, Yang Xiong was confident, but there was a question that he didn't dare to ask, but he had to ask: "I already know how to deal with the envoys of the two countries. It's just in case they come up with some unreasonable ideas, such as in the Daming Mansion. At that time, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom announced everywhere that they wanted to marry the Liao Emperor's younger sister to the chief instructor..."

Li Yan said indifferently: "Xiao Wuna is very scheming and skilled in diplomatic means, so I let the envoy stay in the Daming Mansion for three months. Now this matter should almost be reduced to a laughing stock. Not only must you be strict Reject, at the right time, we will send envoys to question Yelu Yanxi, so that he can't step down completely, and Xiao Wuna's death will really come at that time..."

Yang Xiong was secretly startled. Compared with war, diplomacy really kills without blood.

But Li Yan stood up, and took a book from the bookshelf and handed it over: "Give this "Secret History of the Former Tang Dynasty" to the envoys of the Liao Kingdom. Let them see more!"

Yang Xiong took the book with both hands, a little embarrassed: "I understand the kindness of the head coach, but these Khitan dogs probably won't be interested in talking about this novel..."

Li Yan smiled slightly: "As envoys, they will be interested. The first "Blood-Dripping Eagle" tells the story of Princess Taiping who wanted to harm the Empress Wu Zetian in order to seize power..."

Yang Xiong was startled, subconsciously flipped a page with his fingers, he wanted to read it himself.

Killing one's mother and seizing power can be said to be unacceptable, but when it is arranged for Princess Taiping and Wu Zetian, a power-hungry mother and daughter, it suddenly becomes a little more reasonable.

The key is that this is a proper use of the past to satirize the present, no wonder the editor can be praised by the head coach, he is indeed talented!

Li Yan finally concluded: "Although I, Yanyun, do not have a vast territory, I have the support of my compatriots in Hebei and Shandong. What I am facing are two sick and weak countries with internal and external troubles and crises. You should remember one thing. A weak country has no diplomacy. Can reasonably deal with the envoys of these two countries!"

The two men's spirits were greatly lifted, and they said: "Yes!"

When he got out of the study, Yang Xiong praised: "Living in Yanyun, the hearts of the soldiers and the people are stable, and he can stay at home. He knows the overall situation of the world like the palm of his hand. This is our chief instructor!"

Yang Xing rubbed his palms, and said more directly: "Throughout the ages, those who want to achieve great things have always lived in a corner and developed silently. It is unheard of to be able to rise in Yanyun, a place where two major countries must contend. The two big countries are weak countries, but there are still reasons, what a miracle!"

Yang Xiong laughed loudly: "Go! Go see the envoy!"

Still want to play tricks on us with diplomacy?
Yan Yun said now that Liaoxia is a weak country without diplomacy!
