Chapter 688 Zhang Xiaojie's Thoughts
Hearing Zhang Yuanzhi's words, Wu Hao immediately understood a lot of truths.

So Wu Hao said to Zhang Yuanzhi: "Master Zhang, the lower official was reckless before. The lower official was in a hurry, and he offended Master Zhang and the prince with his words. I hope Master Zhang is tolerant!"

Wu Hao was indeed confronting Zhang Yuanzhi before, and Zhang Yuanzhi was a little bit embarrassed in terms of words.

But Zhang Yuanzhi didn't take Wu Hao seriously, not because Zhang Yuanzhi was too generous, but because Zhang Yuanzhi didn't take Wu Hao's words seriously at all.

Now what Zhang Yuanzhi is considering is the situation in the world, the situation before An Dynasty, Liao Kingdom and Xixia!
There is no doubt that Anchao's national strength, whether it is population or economy, has an overwhelming advantage over Liao and Xixia.No one in the An Dynasty had made good use of this advantage before. In addition, the An Dynasty practiced the rule of law, so the people's customs were weak.

Now that An Chao has Xiao Mo, all this has slowly changed under his subtle influence.It used to be economics. After Xiao Mo started the project in Shen County, he promoted iron ore, lime, and cotton. These three things can be used on the battlefield, residential buildings, and people's food and clothing.

Especially iron ore. With iron ore, An Chao's weapon output will be even greater, and Xiao Mo even invented artillery!

Zhang Yuanzhi also has a deep understanding of the power of this cannon. Up to now, he has not been able to find a way to crack this cannon, so the Liao Kingdom disappeared and dared not make any more plans for Taiyuan.

And cotton can also be made into clothes, which Zhang Yuanzhi didn't know.

In the name of Xiu, almost all the cotton in Shen County was collected, and then using the major cloth and embroidery factories under his name, he has already started to make cotton clothes, which will be transported to the front in the future for the soldiers to survive the cold winter.

This is a big project. When Xiao Mo returned to Shen County and competed with Zheng Biyuan, Qian Qian and Wen for the Shen County Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Mo began to prepare for the name of Xiu.

Because it will soon enter October, Zhang Yuan felt that as long as he helped Xixia through the early winter of October this time, An Chao should also withdraw his troops in November.

Otherwise, when the wind and snow came, An Chao's hundreds of thousands of troops would freeze to death.

So after deep thinking, Zhang Yuanzhi felt that he should help Xixia and send troops out of Xiachuan.

So Zhang Yuanzhi took Wu Hao to the palace, and happened to meet Zhang Xiaojie.

In the final analysis, Zhang Xiaojie is also a political adviser, and he should have known about such a big matter as sending troops to Xixia.

So Zhang Yuan went straight up to greet Zhang Xiaojie, and greeted Zhang Xiaojie politely: "Uncle, are you going to the political affairs room?"

Although Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhang Xiaojie were secretly at odds, on the surface they were still very friendly.

Zhang Xiaojie said to Zhang Yuanzhi: "Exactly, my nephew happened to be here too, hehe... who is this?"

Seeing Wu Hao, Zhang Xiaojie asked a question.

In fact, Zhang Xiaojie knew Wu Hao. Zhang Xiaojie also met Wu Hao once when he came to Liao, but after all Zhang Xiaojie had never met Wu Hao, and in order to show weakness in front of Zhang Yuanzhi, Zhang Xiaojie couldn’t keep paying attention to Xixia and An Chao. What happened made Zhang Yuanzhi aware of it.

So Zhang Xiaojie pretended not to know Wu Hao.

Wu Hao hurriedly saluted Zhang Xiaojie and said: "The foreign minister is the envoy of Xixia, this time I come to Daliao, I have a letter of credence!"

"Oh? An envoy from Xixia?"

Zhang Xiaojie quickly turned serious, since he has the credentials, it is a major issue related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so Zhang Xiaojie said to Wu Hao: "The envoy has come from afar, please come to the political affairs room to discuss matters!"

After arriving at the political affairs room, I met Zhongshu Shengping Zhangshi Ma Zhi who was also there, so Zhang Xiaojie called them together.

Hearing the envoy from Xixia, Ma Zhi whispered to Zhang Xiaojie: "It must be for the Xixia war!"

Sure enough, Wu Hao clasped his fists to Zhang Xiaojie and Ma Zhi and said: "My lords, our country and Daliao have always been closely related, and have a close relationship. Moreover, the leader of our country is the son-in-law of the Liao country, and the queen of our country is the son-in-law of the Liao country." The princess of Daliao, so this time our country is in trouble, the lord and queen jointly wrote a letter, sending foreign ministers to Daliao, begging Daliao to send troops to rescue, and turn the tide!"

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Xiaojie and Ma Zhi looked at each other.

Obviously, this Ma Zhi has a closer relationship with Zhang Xiaojie than he has with Zhang Yuanzhi.

Zhang Xiaojie asked Wu Hao in surprise: "What the envoy said is true? Is this An Dynasty really so powerful?"

Wu Hao nodded and replied: "Anchao has Xiao Mo as the general, and he is also treacherous and cunning, earning the ambiguity between our country's ruler and the party clan, and then rebelling against wild interests and beggars. Lead the army to return to the An Dynasty, and now the An Dynasty's nearly 50 troops have broken through Xiping City and reached Jingzhou!"

"This..." Zhang Xiaojie listened, and took the so-called credential from Wu Hao's hand.

This letter of credence was written to Yelu Hongji, so naturally Zhang Xiaojie didn't dare to open it to read.

Then Zhang Xiaojie said to Wu Hao: "Envoy, don't worry, this old man is going to meet the Holy Majesty with Master Ma."

Zhang Yuanzhi was still recuperating, so Zhang Xiaojie asked him to wait in the political affairs room with Wu Hao.

After leaving the political affairs room with Ma Zhi, Zhang Xiaojie secretly laughed while Ma Zhi was not paying attention.

It’s really like someone sent pillows when I wanted to sleep. Zhang Xiaojie was looking for an opportunity to mobilize the army of the Liao Kingdom, so that Xiao Tianzuo in Liaodong and King Han in Shangjing would prepare for the uprising, but he couldn’t find it all the time. An excuse, now Wu Hao is here.

In fact, Zhang Xiaojie was afraid of Meng Gongzuo, as long as Meng Gongzuo and his cavalry were around, Xiao Hui and Xiao Tianzuo would be in danger of rioting in Liaodong and Shangjing.

Because Meng Gongzuo's cavalry is invincible on the grassland!

So Zhang Xiaojie naturally wished that the Liao Kingdom could send troops. If they send troops now, the Liao Kingdom can only send Meng Gong out, because Yunnei Prefecture and Dai Prefecture still need Yelu Aluhan to guard them!So Zhang Xiaojie didn't hesitate at all, and immediately went to the palace to see Yelu Hongji after he got the letter of credence.

Recently, Yelu Hongji's life has not been very happy.

After losing to An Chao one after another, Yelu Hongji also became anxious, and now that he is gradually reaching his thirties, he has more things to think about.

After all, those women from the Western Regions were only used by Yelu Hongji for fun. When he really said that heirs should be inherited, of course he had to rely on his concubines, so Yelu Hongji also sent someone to Shangjing to express his intentions to Xiao Guanyin tactfully, but Xiao Guanyin Guanyin never replied.

On this day, Yelu Hongji was sitting alone in the imperial study, and then Zhang Xiaojie and Ma Zhi came!
