Finally, when autumn was cold, the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty came to congratulate him in person, showing a friendly relationship between the two countries.

As a former ally, the Northern Han had never been so close to the Central Plains. It was also the first time that he came to Bianliang and enjoyed its prosperity.

The barren Hedong makes people cry.

Li Jia had a good temper and didn't care about the small actions of the Northern Han Dynasty. Instead, he talked about the relationship between the two countries with a kind look, and even said:

"The Tang Dynasty has now become a unified trend and has never had any struggles with the Han Dynasty. We should live in peace."

"This is also what the foreign ministers hope for." The envoy was overjoyed when he heard this, bowed deeply, and said eagerly.

The Northern Han Dynasty had long been cut off from its idea of ​​unifying the world, and now it just wants to survive.

Li Jia smiled, then said with a bitter face, "But, many military generals in the court said that they would immediately launch troops to fight north to unify the world. I am not a single man, so how can I do it at will?"

The envoy was stunned. He couldn't guess what the emperor said. Are you willing?

"Of course, I'm determined to stop the war, so I naturally want to do it."

The emperor changed his sincere expression and said, "As long as Hedong surrenders to me, it will naturally prevent the two countries from fighting each other. I promise that the Liu family is peaceful, and this is not false."

As he said that, Li Jia became ambitious again and said, "I first set up the five capitals, and Beijing is in Youzhou. Attacking Beijing is the most important thing. Therefore, as long as the Han Dynasty cut off its ties with the Khitan and pays tribute to me, I can do my best to attack Youyan."

"As for the threat from the Khitan, with my Tang Dynasty here, your country should not be afraid, and there will be a large army to help you."

"Besides, Taiyuan City is hard to destroy, and the Khitans can't do anything."

The envoy was stunned for a moment.

To sum up, it is just a saying that in order to attack Youyun, as long as the Northern Han Dynasty changed its course and became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it was even allowed to seize Hedong and preserve its country.

The conditions were too generous, so that the envoys were a little skeptical of their lives.

During the Zhou and Song dynasties, the Northern Han Dynasty suffered wars almost every year. Even though Taiyuan City was as stable as a mountain, it still made the Liu family tremble and frightened, so they tried their best to curry favor with the Khitan father.

Zhou was a feud, and Song was to unify the world. Doesn’t the Tang Kingdom want to unify?

Soon, Li Jia narrowed her eyes and continued, "If the Han Dynasty is still unrestrained, then don't blame me for taking action. I can't let the enemy sleep soundly, this is my condition."

"The foreign minister understands-"

The envoy was panicked and did not dare to speak out. He could only send a message back to Taiyuan for disposal.

"How would Beihan choose?"

Li Jia fell into curiosity.

This time, choosing one of the two is actually an early preview of the Northern Han Dynasty, putting it in a difficult situation.

If the Northern Han chose to belong to the Tang Kingdom, then Li Jia could concentrate on dealing with Youyun and then turn around and destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, which was a delayed strategy.

If the Northern Han refuses and still pays tribute to the Khitan, then Li Jia will be famous and he will be no wonder if he is betrayed the alliance. Who said that the Northern Han is unknown and the mantis arm is in a chariot?

To be honest, the reason why the Northern Han Dynasty survived was mainly due to the Khitan, which was a long-distance support. Tongzhou in the northern region of Daibei was also the location of Xijing, with tens of thousands of people stationed in defense of the Central Plains all year round.

The Northern Han Dynasty is not scary. No matter how strong the Taiyuan City is, it will collapse under the long-term bombing of artillery and stone casting chariots, but the rescue of the Khitan cavalry makes people irritated.

After fighting the small ones, we welcome the big ones, so when we are not prepared enough, we can only temporarily make peace. When we have strong strength, it will not be too late to attack again.

Therefore, if you can't fight hard, you can do something soft and openly plot.

I don’t believe that the Tang Dynasty was so rich and poor in money, and the civil and military officials would not be jealous of money?

As long as long as there is a long erosion, Hedong will naturally be destroyed.

People who are accustomed to poverty often have even more greed.

"Besides, only when there are foreign enemies, we will work together. Once the environment is relaxed, conflicts will naturally arise. Disarmament, corruption, and power struggle?"

Li Jia smiled. He realized that his move was really wonderful. Attacking the heart is the best and attacking the city is the best. The young strong man in the Northern Han Dynasty had to be unique.

"What did Tang Guo really say that?"

As he touched the lubricated Shu Jin, Liu Jun was reluctant to leave. It took him a long time to enjoy such a wealthy life. As an emperor, he really had no taste in the local area, and he was probably not even as good as the ordinary Haoyou in the Central Plains.

In front of him were hundreds of Shu brocade and Wu silk, with delicate needle eyes and beautiful patterns. It can be said that it was very rare, and there were not many in Taiyuan.

In addition, there were thousands of other financial institutions, which made Liu Jun cry happily. He, as the king, was so frustrated.

"That's true!" The envoy said bluntly: "The Emperor of Tang said clearly that he could only meet in war."

"I have heard that before this, Emperor Tang also met with the Yong'an Army and the Dingnan Army, and he was very appeased..."

"You mean, the Tang people were actually ready for war long ago?"

Liu Jun came to his senses and was quite anxious.

Immediately, he summoned everyone to discuss important matters about the Central Plains.

Faced with the choice of two by the Emperor of Tang, everyone was in a dilemma.

Prime Minister Guo Wuwei said directly: "If we follow the Tang Dynasty and go against the Khitan, the left-behind government office in Xijing, Tongzhou, is not a vegetarian. We have no danger to guard the north."

"The Khitans have a deep understanding of us. If a bad person is easy to cause great disasters."

"And, as long as the Khitans are present, the Tang Kingdom will never destroy the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the Tang Lord must be rejected, even if he faces the threat of swords and weapons."

Everyone agrees with this.

The Central Plains have no faith. If the Central Plains recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, it means that he has the strength to replace the Khitans, and the Northern Han Dynasty will naturally find it difficult to survive.

If the Khitans did not fall, the Northern Han Dynasty would not perish. This principle is quite superficial, but extremely profound.

Liu Jun also knew a lot about his Han country. Of course, he knew that he could not live without the Khitans, but he still wanted a way to have the best of both worlds:

"If the Tang people are rejected, then the Tang army will go north soon. If they cooperate with the Dingnan Army and the Yong'an Army, the Han Dynasty will be in danger!"

Listening to the emperor's words, everyone was speechless.

There is no such good thing in the world. There is always something to gain if you give up. It is difficult to have the best of both worlds.

"Your Majesty, the last general believes that we can directly tell the Tang people that the Datong Prefecture has stationed tens of thousands of troops and threatened the Han Dynasty. As long as the Tang people are willing to support money, grain, soldiers and horses and guard Taiyuan together, then our country will naturally betray the Khitan."

Liu Jiye couldn't help but speak.

Unexpectedly, these words attracted Guo Wuwei's praise: "This is very true. If you surrender to the Tang Kingdom, then the Tang Dynasty will naturally have the principle of helping us."
