"Yelü Dashi was elected Great Khan by the various tribes of the northern deserts,"

"The name of the country remains the Great Liao."

"The messenger of Yelü Dashi,"

"The credentials have already been exchanged in Tokyo,"

"They strongly opposed the Ming Dynasty's fraternal alliance with the Western Xia."

Li Renli argued, "Yelü Dashi was merely a member of the Liao imperial family."

Even if the Liao royal family were completely wiped out,

"It's not his place to be the emperor of the Liao Dynasty!"

"His Liao Kingdom doesn't count."

Li Mi laughed loudly, "But Yelü Dashi is, after all, a member of the Liao imperial family."

He was then elected Great Khan by the tribes of the northern desert.

"Now, our Great Ming Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty are not only sworn brothers,"

"They also invited each other to launch a pincer attack on the Jin Dynasty from the north and south."

"For the Ming Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty was more important,"

"If the Western Xia does not agree,"

"Then we'll just have to keep fighting!"

Li Renli argued forcefully, "Your country has agreed to a brotherhood with our country,"

"Only then did our country agree to return many territories."

"Now the brotherhood pact is difficult to fulfill,"

"Which lands should be returned also needs to be discussed again."

"We will fight for every inch of land and never compromise!"

Li Mi's attitude was tough.

Li Renli was furious.

But there is nothing to do.

Because of previous negotiations,

Li Mida has already figured out his bottom line.

"I must report to the Emperor of Great Xia again," Li Renli said dejectedly.

Li Mi laughed loudly and said, "Whatever you wish!"

"During the peace talks, both countries can prepare for war,"

"Let's talk again next year when we have another match."

When Li Renli sent someone back to China to consult with his superiors...

The delegation has arrived in Lanzhou.

Ma Kuo and Li Mi had a long private talk.

They deliberately let Li Renli see the envoys of the Gaochang Uyghurs and the Yellow-headed Uyghurs.

He also invited Li Renli and Xiao Wulila to drink together.

Chapter 1776 Who Submits to Whom?

The scene was quite chaotic.

Because someone took direct action.

We just met.

Xiao Wuli then grabbed Li Renli's collar,

"More than two years ago, my Khan made an agreement with the Western Xia to attack the Jin Dynasty,"

Why did the Western Xia suddenly become a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty?

Li Renli was speechless.

Because this matter was indeed a case of the Western Xia going back on their word.

Xiao Wuli kicked Li Renli in the stomach.

He kicked Li Renli to the ground and said viciously.

"If Western Xia continues to fight alongside the Jin Dynasty,"

"Wait until the Great Khan recovers the lost lands,"

"He will surely lead a large army to destroy the Western Xia."

Li Renli was somewhat apprehensive.

He wasn't afraid of Yelü Dashi.

Adding the Ming Dynasty would make things even more difficult.

What if both sides actually destroy the Jin Dynasty?

What if we join forces again to deal with the Western Xia?

Ma Kuo also tried to sow discord between Xiao Wulila and others.

Tell him about the mysterious deaths of the Western Xia Empress and Crown Prince.

He stepped on Li Renli's chest.

Xiao Wulila questioned,

"How could Princess Cheng'an and her son have both passed away within a month?"

"Is it because you're trying to curry favor with the Jurchens?"

"They actually secretly murdered their own empress and crown prince?"

"That's absolutely not the case!"

Li Renli quickly denied it.

Xiao Wulila then dragged Li Renli away.

"Still trying to argue? A perfectly fine mother and son."

"If one dies, one can still claim it's because they miss their homeland,"

Why were they both dead?

"And they all died within a month of each other?"

Li Renli said, "The Crown Prince is longing for his homeland."

"The Empress was longing for her deceased son."

"Even a fool wouldn't believe such words,"

"Are you treating me like an idiot?"

Xiao Wuli slapped him across the face.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right,

Ma Kuo quickly pulled him away.

"Calm down, calm down, they are all envoys,"

"Don't use violence."

Li Renli, with a handprint on his face,

She looked at Ma Kuo with a resentful gaze.

I was thinking, why didn't you try to break up the fight sooner?

The two sides broke up unhappy.

Afterwards, Ma Kuo privately told Li Mi that...

"We can send someone to contact Xiao Heda now,"

"We should send someone to make contact openly and brazenly!"

Xiao Heda, a general of the Liao Dynasty,

Not only was he personally appointed by the King of Western Xia as the commander-in-chief of the Xia Prefecture army,

Moreover, he also had Khitan soldiers under his command who had surrendered to him.

This person had always wanted to contact Yelü Dashi to resist the Jin dynasty.

However, they were consistently met with perfunctory responses from the Western Xia rulers and ministers.

If he knew about Yelü Dashi's situation,

Moreover, Yelü Dashi had also formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty.

It's even possible that they might directly lead their troops to temporarily surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

I will wait for the opportunity to serve Yelü Dashi in the future.

Ma Kuo also offered suggestions.

Let Li Mi send someone to make the contact openly and brazenly!

Perhaps Xiao Heda hasn't made up his mind about whether to leave.

But what were the Western Xia rulers and their ministers thinking?

After listening to Ma Kuo's entire plan, Li Mida

It involves many forces, including the Ming Dynasty, Western Xia, Gaochang, Liao Dynasty, and Jin Dynasty.

He was immediately shocked and exclaimed in admiration.

"You are Ban Dingyuan, a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and Su, a vassal state!"

"I dare not entertain such a presumptuous thought,"

"Just a little trick," Ma Kuo laughed.

.....

Yinzhou City, the temporary garrison of Xiangyou Military Command (Dangcha Town, Hengshan District, Yulin City).

A Khitan soldier came to report.

"Commander, there is a troop of Han soldiers outside Yinchuan City (formerly Yongle City of the Song Dynasty),"

"They said they wanted to discuss it with the Commander-in-Chief in person."

"A sealed letter with sealing wax was also sent."

Xiao Heda took the letter.

Use a knife to pry open the sealing wax seal.

The letter contained only one sentence:

Yelü Dashi's envoy has arrived in Lanzhou.

Xiao Heda gently put the letter down and said to his personal guard,

"Let them come over."

Yang Yizhong was appointed as the chief of Mizhi Village by Liu Yanqing.

It is closest to the Western Xia city walled city.

He was naturally sent to make contact.

After passing Yinchuan City,
