One Piece of Song Dynasty

Yu Liyan bit his lips and said, "Master Li is right, but I can tell from Master Li's actions that Master Li seems to be very dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty court."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Princess, there are no outsiders here. Let me tell you the truth. I am really dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty. I think our Han ancestors created a prosperous age for all nations, whether it was the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty." , the territorial area can be said to be more than twice that of the current Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty court lost too much land left to us by our ancestors, and the Zhao family has not had much enterprising spirit since the founding of the Song Dynasty. "

Yu Liyan said: "So your ambition in this life is to lead the Han people back to the prosperous age of the Han and Tang Dynasties, right?"

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, the princess is right."

Yu Liyan sneered: "But as a small county magistrate, how can you lead the revival of the Han people? I heard that you are still Cai Jing's disciple, but you are unwilling to be promoted. If you are not promoted and have no rights, how can you lead the revival of the Han people."

Li Xin said: "Why should you be promoted? If you don't get promoted, you can't lead the Han people to rejuvenate. Besides, what can you do when you enter the smoky place of the Song Dynasty? It's not as easy as being a small magistrate now. You can do whatever you want." Whatever you do, don’t worry about being noticed.”

Yu Liyan asked: "Then I would like to ask Mr. Li how you can realize your ambition in this small county? What have you done in this small county?"

Li Xin asked: "I want to ask the princess, if a tree is rotten to the root, how to save it?"

Yu Liyan thought for a moment and said, "Since it's rotten to the root, what's the point of saving it? Just pull it out and plant a new tree."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at Yu Liyan with a playful expression. Yu Liyan reacted instantly and said with some shock: "So you want to rebel and overthrow the Song Dynasty. In this case, it doesn't matter whether you are promoted or not. I guess Li What you are doing in Hui'an is to quietly accumulate strength."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Princess is smart. The Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty are both irredeemably rotten at their roots, so there is no need to save them. We can just tear them down and start over."

Yu Liyan frowned and said: "But even so, even if Mr. Li accumulates strength, it will be difficult to compare with the behemoth of the Song Dynasty. Just like the peasant uprising in the southeast some time ago in the Song Dynasty, the scale is different and very large, but it is not still The court will soon be calmed down."

Li Xin smiled and said: "I'm different from them. That's because they chose the wrong time. Moreover, their troops rarely undergo formal training and are incomparable with the elites of the imperial court."

Yu Liyan asked: "Then I would like to ask Mr. Li how to choose this time and Mr. Li's army has conducted strict training."

Li Xin replied: "Of course. Not only are the troops under a certain army well paid, well-fed, but also trained very strictly. The princess will be able to see them soon. As for the timing, it depends on the situation in the north."

Yu Liyan was surprised and said: "Master Li is talking about the Liao-Jin War."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Princess is right, it is the Liao-Jin war. As long as the Liao Kingdom has not been destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, I will not take action. When the Liao Kingdom is destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, then I will not take action." The time is not far away.”

Yu Liyan asked: "Why was it after the Jin destroyed the Liao?"

Li Xin said: "Once the Jin Kingdom destroys the Liao Dynasty, the next target will be the Song Dynasty. By then, even if the army is not strong, it will have a lot of room for maneuver."

Yu Liyan said thoughtfully: "Master Li, isn't this just taking advantage of the situation? This is at a time of national crisis. I'm afraid this won't be tolerated by the world."

Li Xin smiled and said: "No, it's not as serious as what the princess said. As long as you lead the army and defeat the Jin army in the end, nothing will be a problem."

Yu Liyan said: "So Mr. Li secretly sent people into Daliao to form a secret spy network. While collecting information about the Liao-Jin war, he also collected information about the Jin army and sent people to wait for opportunities to break into the Jin army for future use. Mr. Li is really good at calculating, including the Liao, Jin, and Song Dynasty courts, and the links are interlocked without leakage."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Princess. I can't help it. After all, I am still too weak to fight against the three big countries."

Yu Liyan asked again: "When did Mr. Li start to notice the Jin people?"

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "When I learned from someone that the Liao-Jin War had begun, from a historical perspective, we Han people often fought with the foreign races in the north. Whenever a powerful foreign force appeared in the north, it was us Han people. During times of disaster, such as the Xiongnu in the early Han Dynasty and the Turks in the early Tang Dynasty, so when I learned that the Jurchens defeated a large number of Liao troops to establish the Jin Kingdom, I began to pay attention."

Yu Liyan then asked: "Master Li is really wise, so what does Master Li think of the Jin people?"

Li Xin said: "I can only say that this is another powerful force ruled by a foreign race. He is like the rising sun slowly rising, just like the Liao Kingdom more than a hundred years ago, but he is also like all The foreign rulers were very barbaric at first."

Yu Liyan nodded and said: "So Song and Liao should work together to fight against the Jin."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Princess, please don't have wishful thinking. Yanyun is a thorn in the heart of the Song Dynasty. As long as there is a chance, the Song Dynasty will definitely attack Yanyun in the north. Therefore, unless the Liao Kingdom takes the initiative to give up Yanyun, the Song Dynasty can be destroyed." Jin alliance, otherwise Song and Liao would not be able to unite to fight against Jin, and now what would be left in Daliao after losing Yan Yun?"

Yu Liyan stamped his feet and said, "Is Daliao really hopeless?"

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Both the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are hopeless. First of all, the rulers of the two countries are not wise kings. They can even be said to be faint kings. This is true for all kings, let alone the imperial court. So for The two big trees that are damaged to the root, just like what the princess said just now, just uproot them and plant new ones."

Yu Liyan suddenly knelt down and said: "Master Li, as long as you can save Daliao, Yu Liyan can be a cow or a horse for you."

Li Xin helped Yu Liyan up and said: "Princess, you don't have to be like this. No matter how much you do, you can't save Daliao. You don't need to beg so and so. He will definitely not save Daliao, and there is no way to save so and so. Unless your father abdicates the throne and cleans up the court, and in the current situation where there are powerful enemies, doing so is tantamount to accelerating the demise of the Liao Kingdom, so the Liao Kingdom is definitely hopeless, and the princess does not need to No need to worry about it, I don’t need the princess to be a cow or a horse, I just need to be my second wife, and the princess doesn’t need to threaten me with my life, I just need the daughter of Emperor Tianzuo, and Emperor Tianzuo’s In addition to the princess, my daughter has five other people. Since I can kidnap the princess, I can also kidnap the princess’s sisters.”
