015 First cut and then play

"Wanyanxi?" Did you know your whereabouts? It’s not consistent with common sense, Xiaocha, is it really you?”

"There is no doubt that it is him. If someone was pretending, Xiao Min would find out the clues and there would be no news." Shen Cha sighed, "My brother and I guessed that he should go to see Yelu. The meaning of seeking help from Yelu. Living in exile for so many years must be very hard, and life will not be easy. Nowadays, Wanyan Zongcheng is unpopular, and Wanyanping’s methods against the resisters are too ruthless. In the face of a major disaster, It's difficult, and they can't take effective measures. In the Jin Kingdom today, both the common people and the nobles are already full of complaints against them. Even if they want to save it now, I'm afraid there is no chance. So..."

"So, he believed that the time had come to take revenge. But his own strength was not enough to fight against Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping, so he could only seek help from outside forces. He did not ask Daxia for help because he was worried that Daxia would take advantage of the opportunity. Occupy the Kingdom of Jin, or force the Kingdom of Jin to become a vassal, retain the name of the Kingdom of Jin, turn it into a vassal state, and require tribute every year." Jin Jing tapped her fingers lightly on the table, thinking as she spoke, "I don't deny that this will definitely happen. After all, if we are invited to go to war, it is impossible for us to get no benefits at all. This is unrealistic. But Liao, the ambition is greater than Daxia, right? Yelu will never be satisfied with just turning gold into He dreamed of annexing the land of Jin and turning Jin into a state and county of Liao. This was even lower than the treatment of a subordinate state. If Yelu succeeds, the name Jin will become history. "

"Hey, we'll talk about that later." Xue Ruitian raised the fan in his hand, but he couldn't control the force and almost got it stuck on Jin Jing's face. He didn't care at all, he just raised his eyebrows and continued, "We are now What needs to be discussed is our response measures. No matter what Yelu's final decision is, we must remain unchanged in response to any changes and cannot be affected by the chaos between them." Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Cha, "Where is the marshal's suggestion? "

"Completely seal the border. Except for diplomatic missions from various countries, no outsiders are allowed in or out."

"This is the most effective way to deal with this situation. However, I have to say hello to His Majesty, lest someone in the court take this opportunity to make a big fuss." Xue Ruitian tapped his leg with the handle of the fan, "With the speed of shadow transmission, Your Majesty will receive the news at this time tomorrow. When someone in the court raises objections to this, Your Majesty can refute it with reason."

"Have the letters from Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu been sent? If not, put the message for His Majesty in their letters and send Shadow back."

"This is a good idea from the military advisor. It is unobtrusive and can deliver the news to His Majesty accurately."

Shen Cha dug out two letters from the pile of letters on the desk and handed them to Jin Jing. He picked up the pen and wrote a few words on a blank piece of paper. After writing, he folded it into a triangle. Put it into Song Qiyun's opened envelope, and reseal it with a special wax seal. No matter whether the letter is in the hands of the Queen Mother or Song Jue, you will know the mystery inside when you see the wax seal. Already.

Shen Cha's letter was written in code. In the eyes of outsiders, it was an ordinary greeting, but in Song Jue's eyes, it was a secret letter. This method would only be used when conveying important news. This was a form of suppression. An original creation of the Duke's Mansion, this method has been used to send secret messages to the palace since the founding of the government. Even when shadows appeared later, this method was not abandoned.

Shen Cha lightly snapped her fingers, and Ying Shiba appeared in front of her instantly.

"The letter written by your two highnesses to the Queen Mother should be sent out immediately. Don't delay!"

"Yes, I obey."

Ying Shiba took the two envelopes and disappeared from everyone's sight. From appearance to disappearance, the whole process took Xue Ruitian a yawn. "This little Shiba's movement is getting faster and faster, which can be called He's a ghost. From now on, on the battlefield, if you need to assassinate someone or take the head of an enemy general, leave it to him. He will definitely be able to complete the task." Xue Ruitian stretched out, took a look, and chatted. The two cheerful girls shook their heads and said, "You heartless guys always have a very happy life."

"This is natural." Jin Jing glanced back, then turned around and continued, "Miaomiao drank too much that day, and she pulled me and refused to let me go, insisting that I talk to her. She said people like us, If you are not clean at heart, you are a born conspiracy theorist. When you encounter a problem or an incident, you will first think in a bad direction. You will always suspect that others will intentionally cause harm or have ulterior motives. In fact, you are the one who The biggest bad guy."

"This kind of thing... Actually, we have nothing to say, right? We are in this position, we have no foresight, no step-by-step calculation, and cannot strategize to control the overall situation, so we will use these hundreds of thousands of troops in vain Burial, whether on the battlefield or in the hands of one's own people." Xue Ruitian smiled self-deprecatingly, "There is no way, this is our life, if it is not clean, then it is not clean. It can save the lives and safety of the people of Daxia. They are satisfied with the paradise they live in."

"Brother Xiao Tian, ​​what you said is a bit unlike you." Shen Cha crossed his fingers on the desk, "If we tell His Majesty the reason for our border closure, our worries will be relieved. Now we can think about it carefully. What choice will Yelu make? Based on our understanding of him, he will bite on this kind of advantage brought to his doorstep and will never let go. But..."

"However, there is a very serious problem now. With the current situation in the Liao Kingdom, I am afraid that there is no spare capacity to help Wanyanxi." Jin Jing added hot tea to Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian and continued, " The heavy snow disaster in Liao Kingdom has spread to all states and counties. Looking at the current situation, not only is there no possibility of stopping, but in the future, I am afraid that the momentum will become more violent. Because of the snow disaster, the treasury is empty and the military is insufficient, so self-protection is a must. Reluctantly, Yelu himself still has a headache on how to control the deteriorating situation, and there is no possibility of sending troops to attack Jin."

"Based on my understanding of Yelu, this person follows the principle of maximizing interests, which is to exchange for the maximum benefits at the minimum cost. First of all, the last thing he can do is to catch Wanyanxi and expose his identity, and then Use him to demonstrate with Wanyan Zongcheng, Wanyanping and his daughter." Xue Ruitian ordered some heavy tea, "So, your idea is wrong, he will never do such a stupid thing."

"You mean to say that the biggest enemy of Wanyan and his daughter is not actually the situation in the country, but Wanyan's happiness. Wanyan Zongcheng's throne is not justified. What worries him most is that one day in the future, Wanyan Xihui comes back to fight for the throne with them. If they know that this person has fallen into Yelu's hands, they wish Yelu would kill him. In that case, their nightmare will be over."

"Hey, a kid can be taught, that's what it is!" Xue Ruitian gently patted Shen Cha on the shoulder with a fan, "We can all think of this, wouldn't Yelu, who was born in a conspiracy den, understand? Besides, Wanyan The father and daughter and Yelu have never dealt with each other. It is not an exaggeration to say that they hate each other. They all want to kill each other, but they just can't find the opportunity. Now, this golden opportunity is placed in front of Yelu, and he will not give up. "

"It is in the interests of Liao and Yelu to support a new king who listens to his own words and acts as his own leader. However, the military advisor is right. With the current situation of Liao, it is impossible to help Wanyanxi attack Jin. Although this is an excuse, it is also a fact. Wanyanxi who is in the Liao Kingdom will definitely have a profound understanding of what the Liao Kingdom is like."

"Besides, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and no one has any thoughts of war." Jin Jing touched her chin, then looked back at Hongye and Jin Miaomiao, "You said that Yan Xi deliberately exposed his whereabouts to see Yelu, wouldn't he be thinking about it? Celebrate the New Year at the Liao Palace, right? Is he in such a state of desolation?"

"You don't even think about it, how many years has he been hanging around outside? Even if he brought enough gold and silver when he ran away, he would have almost spent it now, right? Moreover, when he saw hope, he naturally wanted to find helpers. He also knew that the New Year was coming, and no one would mess with him at this time, but some things had to be prepared in advance. It would be good to catch the father and daughter by surprise after the New Year. Yelu would definitely not help. He, but he will not say anything to death, and will definitely leave a way out for himself. For example, he will verbally promise to provide some help at critical moments. Of course, is this so-called help sincere, or is he still planning to play? A good show of a mantis stalking a cicada with an oriole behind it, that is what God knows and the earth knows..." Xue Ruitian curled his lips, "Yelu himself knows what this revenge show will turn out to be in the end, Wanyan is happy They are not the ones in control of the overall situation.”

"Unless he finds a better helper and refuses Yelu's kindness."

"If you reject Yelu's kindness, perhaps he will pay a more painful price." Xue Ruitian stood up and moved his body. "In any case, Wan Yanxi's appearance in Linhuang Mansion is the turning point of the Jin Kingdom's decline." He reached out and touched his stomach, "I'm a little hungry. How about we go find something delicious?"

"Want to go to the dining room?" Jin Jing also stood up and kicked her legs, "I feel a little numb, Miaomiao, we are a little hungry, please get us something to eat!"

"It's just what I wanted. We just wanted to go see those three cute little boys and see if they have the talent to inherit my legacy."

Jin Miaomiao picked up Hongye, and the two of them happily followed Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing and ran out of the tent.

"Now that we are gone, they are really good at ink." Shen Haolin, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes when he and Shen Cha were the only two people left in the tent, but he did not sit up, but just turned over. He reached out, put his arms around Shen Cha's waist, and muttered, "But I have to admit that the discussion you just had was very good, and I am very pleased to see that you are so capable."

"Brother, don't you blame us for taking the decision without authorization, killing first and reporting later?"

"Is it better to send the letter or block the border?" Shen Haolin tightened his hands on Shen Cha's waist and said with a heavy nasal voice, "This is a good idea. If you want me to think about it, I can't I’ve thought more carefully. Cha’er, I’m still very tired, please sleep with me for a while!”

"Brother!"

"Um?"

"I suddenly felt that what Brother Xiaotian said was quite right."

"What?"
