Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 377 Cooperation and Way Out!
Li Binglin listened to Su Yun's teasing, but he didn't blush or feel nervous. He was much better than in previous years.

He snorted coldly and said, "Su Jinglüe, the situation has changed. You no longer have the support of the Song Dynasty, and you no longer have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Fuyan Road, nor do you have the continuous support of the Song Dynasty.

Now you are just a traitor of the Song Dynasty. Not only is our Great Xia eyeing you covetously, but even the Song Dynasty wants to destroy you as soon as possible. Therefore, Su Jinglüe, you have no other choice. "

Su Yun laughed when he heard this and said, "If that's the case, let's talk about it after we finish fighting the Song Dynasty.

After the fight, whether we are still here or not, you will have to wait and see.

However, by then, I may not necessarily need to cooperate with you."

Li Binglin laughed and said, "If you don't cooperate with me, who else can you cooperate with?"

Su Yun smiled elegantly and said, "Prime Minister Liang and I have dealt with each other before. He knows that he can't do anything to me, so he has to bite the copper peas of the Suide Army that can't be steamed or crushed. By then, his teeth will be broken.

The Song Dynasty couldn't do anything to me, so everyone could only acquiesce to my existence. The Suide Army had so many exquisite porcelain, iron, gold, silver and glassware, all of which were priceless. Who wouldn't want them?
Hehe, Xixia is connected to the Western Regions, and there are Western Region merchants in the territory. Liang Xiangguo comes to me to purchase, and then sells it to Western Region merchants at a high price. Hehe, the profit can be ten times or even dozens of times. Do you think Liang Xiangguo wants to do this business?"

Li Binglin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He didn't expect that Su Yun had also thought of this. The reason why he came here was with this idea in mind. He not only wanted to sell these things to Xixia, but also to Tubo, Liao, and the vast market in the Western Regions!
However, Li Binglin remained calm and shook his head, saying, "The emperor and his ministers of the Song Dynasty are now seeking peace talks with us. Although there has been no formal contact, the letter handed over has probably revealed some information.

They probably want to negotiate peace with our Western Xia. I am confident that I can get back the Hehuang area and Suide Army, and I can also guess what the Song Dynasty will ask for.

First, they want to cease fire with us, and second, they want to unite with us in Daxia to destroy the Suide Army together.

So, you can’t hold on.”

After saying this, Li Binglin stared at Su Yun closely, wanting to see if there was any panic on Su Yun's face, but to his disappointment, Su Yun was still smiling and his expression was very natural.

Su Yun even laughed and said, "Song and Xia joined forces to attack our Suide Army, and then the Song Dynasty destroyed the Suide Army, just to return the Suide Army to you Xixia?"

Li Binglin's face changed and he said, "Su Jinglie doesn't believe that this will happen?"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "No, I believe that those insects would do such a thing, I have no doubt about it.

However, if they did something like this, I would laugh out loud, because the Song Dynasty completely destroyed its moral foundation!
That is not a disaster for our Sui De Army, but the greatest opportunity!"

Li Binglin frowned and said, "Su Jinglie, why do you have to maintain such a high profile? Once the Song and Xia join forces, how can your Suide Army hold out? You won't survive until tomorrow, so what opportunities are you talking about?"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "You don't understand. We Chinese people value justice and have a legitimate reason to fight.

Our Suide Army has already taken up the great cause of fighting against you Dangxiang. It's not that the Song court cannot annihilate us, but it cannot join forces with you Xixia to annihilate us. Once it does so, the Song court will lose the support of the people!
Haha, joining forces with the enemy country, attacking patriotic heroes, and giving away the land and people protected by the heroes to the enemy country for free, what does this mean?

It means that the entire Song court has betrayed the Chinese people and has lost the righteousness of governing China!

Naturally, there are countless people in China who uphold justice, and when the time comes, these people will tend to support our Suide Army.

At that time, our Suide Army will be the one with many supporters because of its righteousness, while the Song court will be the one with few supporters because of its unrighteousness.

By then, it will be impossible for the Song court to wipe out our Suide Army. Even countless people in the Song Dynasty will rise up and fight against this unjust dynasty together!"

If some friends do not understand this truth, they can study the fact that Trump came to power twice in the United States and repeatedly implemented contraction policies, causing allies to no longer believe in the United States. This is the greater good. When a country no longer pays attention to the greater good, it means that they will also lose support.

Li Binglin really didn't understand, but after hearing Su Yun's confident words, he couldn't help but believe it a little, but he still said stubbornly: "If they really do this, they will kill you first, and then disguise it. Who are they afraid of?"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "Our Suxue Society is deeply rooted in the literati of the Song Dynasty. Once something like this happens, it will quickly spread throughout the literati, and the people of the Song Dynasty will also know about it very quickly. Everyone in the entire Song Dynasty will know about it, and it will be impossible to hide it.

As for destroying us first...ha, our Suide Army is not a pushover. Your Prime Minister Liang Yibu has been fighting the Suide Army for so long. He didn't destroy us because he didn't want to?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Binglin was speechless.

But he still said: “But this king knows that you, the king and his ministers in the Song court, can allow yourself to fail in a war with an enemy country.

But they will not tolerate you rebels at all. Even if they use all their national strength, they will destroy you. Am I right about this?"

Su Yun glanced at Li Binglin and was somewhat impressed by this Western Xia prince. This man had a deep understanding of the Song court and was considered a figure.

Su Yun nodded and said, "Your Highness is right about this, but the Suide Army will not perish. If our Suide Army can withstand the attack of the Song Dynasty, then soon the Liang State Prime Minister and the Liao State will come to support me.

By then, food, military equipment, and even war horses will be continuously supplied to the Suide Army. At that time, our Suide Army will be alive.

Haha, you Western Xia want my Suide Army to consume the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom also hopes that my Suide Army will consume the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Liao and Xia will not let the Suide Army perish so quickly, and they will definitely support my Suide Army with all their strength.

And the Suide Army did not receive their aid for nothing. Our Suide Army now has glass, ironware, and so many exquisite industrial products. The Liao and Xia countries can make a lot of money by trading with us.

It can consume the Song Dynasty and make money at the same time, so why not do it? "

After hearing this, Li Binglin was speechless.

In fact, their argument was not about whether this business could be done. In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that this business could definitely be done.

The reason they argued was to seize the initiative.

Li Binglin wanted to establish his dominant position by using the weak military strength of Suide as an excuse. At that time, the price and obligations of both parties would naturally be determined by Li Binglin's side.

Su Yun's counterattack was also extremely sharp. He kept sticking to the statement "We can do this business with anyone, especially Liang Yibu and the Liao Kingdom. It doesn't have to be you, Li Binglin." He also wanted to seize the initiative.

"and……"

Su Yun glanced at Li Binglin and said with a smile: "...Prince, do you think you can control the Xixia court?
Haha, Prime Minister Liang is extremely powerful. Although you are a prince, you are constrained by him in every way. Well, let alone you, even your royal brother is just a puppet.

You came to discuss cooperation with me today, but I'm afraid Prime Minister Liang may not know about it.

If he knew that you had contacted me privately, with his suspicious nature, how do you think he would deal with you? "

Li Binglin's face suddenly changed, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and snorted coldly, "Su Jinglie, please don't sow discord. Although the king and Liang Xiangguo have some differences in the court, they are all for the benefit of our Great Xia.

I came to discuss this with you because I want to find a new way to make money for Daxia. If he knew, he would definitely support me."

Su Yun sneered, "Your Majesty, please stop deceiving yourself.

Liang has controlled the government for many years and has been bent on expanding his own power. How could he tolerate you starting a new government under his nose?
You said you wanted to sell the Suide Army's goods to Tubo, Liao and the Western Regions. How could Prime Minister Liang easily let you interfere in the trade routes of these places? Once he finds out that you are trading with me privately, he might send troops to detain you directly. By then, you, Your Majesty, will be in trouble.

Oh, forget it. Your Highness, there is no need to take such a big risk. My Suide Army will directly seek cooperation with the Liang family.

Yes, Your Majesty, I will give you that set of tea set. If you like anything here, just take it with you. I will not give you anything else."

Li Binglin was startled, what Su Yun said was not without reason.

Liang Yibu had a strong desire to control power. Many suggestions he had put forward in the court in recent years were rejected by him for various reasons. If he was really angered by cooperating with the Suide Army, the consequences would be disastrous.

But Li Binglin was still unwilling to show weakness, and gritted his teeth and said: "Even so, this king has his own way to deal with it.

Besides, do you think Liang Xiangguo will cooperate with you so easily? He has failed to attack the Suide Army many times before, and he must be resentful of you. Even if he wants to trade with you, he will not give you any good conditions. "

Su Yun picked up the teacup calmly, took a sip, and said leisurely: "I naturally know what Liang Xiangguo is thinking.

But he is a smart man and knows that cooperating with our Suide Army will bring more benefits than disadvantages.

If he really hated me, he would have attacked the Suide Army at all costs. Why would he have tried to test me again and again?
He was delaying action because he was waiting for the right opportunity to get what he wanted while avoiding excessive losses.

And now, that time has come.”

"Oh?" Li Binglin couldn't help asking, "When?"

Su Yun put down his teacup and looked at Li Binglin with sharp eyes: "It's time for the Song Dynasty to negotiate peace with Xixia.

Once Song and Xia reach a peace agreement, Prime Minister Liang will inevitably turn his attention back to the Suide Army.

But he also understood that it was difficult to win by force, so the best way was to cooperate.

He can obtain a large amount of precious goods by trading with me, and then sell them to Western merchants to make huge profits.

Moreover, he could also use this opportunity to weaken the power of the Song Dynasty, so why not do it?
As for the conditions, as long as both parties benefit, we can always reach an agreement.”

Li Binglin remained silent, thinking to himself.

Su Yun's analysis was very logical. If it was true as he said, Liang Yibu would most likely abandon him and cooperate directly with the Suide Army.

In this way, not only would he miss this rare business opportunity, but he might also fall into a more passive situation in the court.

Su Yun saw Li Binglin's expression changing, and knew that his words had taken effect, so he continued: "Your Majesty, there are two paths before you now.

One is to continue to stalemate with me and wait for Liang Xiangguo to reach a cooperation with me. Then you can only watch the benefits slip away from your hands;
Another way is to join hands with me and reach a cooperation agreement before Prime Minister Liang.

You can have priority in choosing our Suidejun’s goods, and we can also give you the most favorable price.

Moreover, I can also lend you a helping hand in secret to make your position in the Xixia court more stable.

Your Majesty, please think about it carefully."

Li Binglin raised his head and looked into Su Yun's eyes. Both of them had shrewdness and calculation in their eyes.

After a long while, Li Binglin slowly said, "Su Jinglie, what you said does make some sense.

But the matter of cooperation is of great importance, so I need to consider it carefully."

Su Yun smiled slightly, knowing that Li Binglin had wavered, so he was not in a hurry and said, "Your Highness should consider it carefully.

However, time waits for no one. If Your Majesty hesitates and misses the opportunity, it will be too late to regret it."

Li Binglin was still thinking it over and was quite hesitant.

Su Yun leaned forward slightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Li Binglin and said: "Your Highness, you also know that our Suide Army is now strong and well-equipped with food and grass, and it cannot be easily shaken.

In many battles with Prime Minister Liang, we have never been at a disadvantage, which is enough to prove our strength.

If you choose to cooperate with me, I can not only provide you with a steady supply of exquisite goods, but also help you accumulate strong financial resources and establish prestige in the Xixia court;
We can also secretly communicate with you on military matters. If Prime Minister Liang dares to harm you in the future, our Suide Army may be able to become your solid backing, making him fearful and afraid to act rashly. "

Su Yun smiled, his expression softened, and said, "...Moreover, Your Majesty, think about it. If you can be the first to reach a cooperation with me, once this news spreads in Xixia, what will those officials who originally fawned on Prime Minister Liang think?
They will definitely see your ability and courage, and will turn to you.

In this way, your power in the Xixia court will grow rapidly. It may not be long before you can compete with Liang Xiangguo or even replace him. By then, the military and political power of the entire Xixia will be in your hands. Why worry about not being able to realize your ambitions and achieve hegemony?"

Su Yun sat up straight, picked up the teacup, blew away the heat gently, and took a sip seemingly casually, but in fact he was secretly observing Li Binglin's reaction.

Li Binglin's fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the chair, his brows furrowed, and a fierce struggle was going on in his heart.

The temptations thrown by Su Yun were really hard for him to resist.

But he was also well aware that cooperating with the Suide Army was extremely risky and that any carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.

Su Yun seemed to see his worries, put down the teacup, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I understand your concerns. But in this world, if you don't take risks, how can you get huge rewards?

Although our Suide Army is regarded as rebels by the Song Dynasty, we have never had the intention of betraying China. Everything we do is just to protect the people and find a peaceful place in this chaotic world.

By cooperating with us, Your Majesty, you are not aiding and abetting the tyrant, but are seeking the welfare of the people of Western Xia and contributing to the peace and prosperity of the two countries.

Moreover, I, Su Yun, hereby assure you that as long as the prince sincerely cooperates with me, I will keep my promise and will never let the prince fall into any danger! "

Li Binglin took a deep breath, looked at Su Yun and said, "If there comes a day when I need you, Su Jinglie, to save my life, I hope you can remember the promise you made today!"

Su Yun stood up and said solemnly: "If such a day comes, Your Majesty can tell me in a letter, and I will definitely get you out of danger safely!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Li Binglin finally made up his mind.
