The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

Zhao Gou was angry with Lu Bu Yuwen Cheng before, and now he is angry with hundreds of officials, none of these wine bags and rice bags can stand on the same front with him except for asking for peace, Zhao Gou has made up his mind, even if he really asks for peace, he must first destroy Lu Bu and Yuwen Chengdu, the ten thousand soldiers who were killed everywhere in the Southern Song Dynasty, otherwise he will not be able to eliminate this breath.

Now they no longer run around like rabbits and occupy Wuyang, so they can't win?

Zhao Gou, who had made up his mind, ignored the ministers and prepared to fight to the death with the Sui army.

At this moment, the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty was in full swing, and Zhang Yi had been in the Western Xia Kingdom for several days.

At the beginning, Li Yuanhao, the emperor of Western Xia, heard that it was Zhang Yi, the envoy and foreign minister of the Sui Dynasty, who came out of the palace in person, greeted him with hundreds of officials, and also held a banquet of 1,000 people to express his respect for the Sui Dynasty.

After completing the etiquette, Zhang Yi immediately met with Li Yuanhao alone.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, Zhang Yi came to the Western Xia Kingdom this time with the mission of the Emperor of the Great Sui. "

Zhang Yi took a sip of goat's milk tea, which is unique to the Western Xia Kingdom, and although he was a little unaccustomed to drinking it, he still drank it as a courtesy.

"Oh, Lord Zhang, what is the task that made you wade through mountains and rivers to come here? "

Before Zhang Yi came, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty went to war, and the news that Lu Buyu and Wen Chengdu's two teams had entered the Southern Song Dynasty reached Li Yuanhao's ears earlier.

As for why Zhang Yi came here, Li Yuanhao knew in his heart but still asked knowingly.

"I heard that the two cities of Oduotongls were originally the land of the Western Xia Kingdom, and it was because of the domineering of the Southern Song Dynasty that the emperor had no choice but to give it. "

Before coming, Zhang Yi had done a lot about the Western Xia Kingdom.

As a small country around the great power of the Southern Song Dynasty, the life of the Western Xia Kingdom was not easy.

It has become commonplace to cede some land from time to time and donate some cattle and sheep every year. However, these have stopped in recent years, because the Western Xia Kingdom has also become stronger and stronger, although it is not as strong as the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is not coerced by the other side.

It's just that the lost land will never come back.

"Now it is the land of the Southern Song Dynasty. "

Li Yuanhao is also an ambitious emperor, he knows what Zhang Yi means, and deliberately pretends not to know.

Now the Great Sui and the Southern Song Dynasty are at war, although it seems that the Great Sui is the winner, but Li Yuanhao knows that compared with the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty, this newly established Great Sui is definitely far from its opponent.

That's why Zhang Yi came here, wanting to borrow the hand of the Western Xia Kingdom to restrain the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Although it is currently in the Southern Song Dynasty, after all, the people of the Western Xia Kingdom live, and they will eventually return to the embrace of the Western Xia Kingdom one day. "

Zhang Yi was not in a hurry, and picked up the goat milk tea again, just remembering the taste just now, his hand just touched the tea bowl, and then he let go and picked up the ordinary tea that Zhang Yi specially asked for on the other side.

Compared with the sandalwood smell of goat's milk, this tea is more delicious.

"Now that my Western Xia is thriving, Master Zhang also knows that we like the goods of the Sui Dynasty very much here, and if we can open a trade route, it can make the exchanges between the two countries smoother. "

For Li Yuanhao, nothing is better than improving his national strength.

As for his own land occupied by the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao did not want to be asked for a wedding dress for others, and in the same way, he would not give up easily, he believed in his own ability, and under his own rule, this day would not come too late.

"This point is also instructed by the Emperor of the Great Sui, because it has to pass through the Southern Song Dynasty, so this trade route must also pass through the Southern Song Dynasty. "

In Western Xia, the value of cattle and sheep is not as good as a few bags of tea.

There are also many nomads here, but compared to the more fertile land, they are not better than grazing in all directions, and they only need to be fixed in one place to survive.

Compared with others, the strength of the Western Xia Kingdom today cannot be underestimated.

Zhang Yi stayed for a few days and also saw a lot of the terroir of the Western Xia Kingdom, which surprised Zhang Yi. In addition to the warm welcome to Zhang Yi, the most surprising thing was the bravery of the people of Western Xia.

Every ordinary person is a powerful soldier with a little training.

"There's no problem with this, I can talk to Zhao Gou, and it'll be fine when the time comes. "

Li Yuanhao was in great need of the goods of the Great Sui, not only tea, but also medicines and iron tools.

"Of course, cooperation with each other can be stronger. "

From Li Yuanhao's non-fake face, Zhang Yi seemed to see something, but he didn't figure it out for a while, Li Yuanhao also knew that he had shown too much, and immediately restrained his expression, he followed Abba to barter with people from other countries when he was a child, Li Yuanhao knows that making a deal, his bottom line, must not let the other party know, this is the most important thing.

In addition to the abundance of cattle, sheep and horses, they also have a large number of licorice, musk, bupleurum, rhubarb and safflower and so on.

These medicinal herbs are quite valuable in the Great Sui country, and they can be seen everywhere here.

"Your Majesty the Western Xia, open trade, my Majesty of the Great Sui will definitely be very happy with this. But this time, I came here with a mission, that is, I hope that the Western Xia Kingdom can send troops to jointly crusade against the Southern Song Kingdom. If he could, he would even be able to recover the two former Western Xia lands. You can even ask the Southern Song Dynasty to compensate you for all kinds of materials. "

Zhang Yi also saw some eyebrows, this Li Yuanhao's mind was not on sending troops to fight at all, but he had been entangled in the matter of trade.

At this moment, he is no longer going around in circles with Li Yuanhao, Zhang Yi said bluntly.

Since you are so short of the necessary materials, then send troops, send troops to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty, and then it is not what you want, just mention it yourself.

"War, tsk, this matter needs to be taken seriously, let me think about it. Regarding the opening of trade and the exchange of knowledge, I also hope that Lord Zhang will communicate with the Emperor of the Great Sui in time. "

Li Yuanhao saw that Zhang Yi finally said his purpose, so he could only snort, and then left.

Zhang Yi also knew that diplomatic matters could not be rushed, so she simply smiled, and promised to inform Yang Guang immediately, and the two separated.

For the Great Sui to have so much land, do some trade, where is it necessary to be so troublesome.

Zhang Yi didn't understand Li Yuanhao's urgency, just like Li Yuanhao was unwilling to send troops and watched the fire from the other side.

That night, in the Xixia Palace, Li Yuanhao was about to rest, and suddenly a shocking news came from the front line, which made him unable to sleep all night, Lu Bu and Yuwen Chengdu joined forces and occupied Wuyang City overnight.

Not only him, but Zhao Gou and the officials of the entire Southern Song Dynasty at that time were all the same.
