Chapter 1046 The dog's teeth are going to live up to their expectations
Zhao Shu felt lost. Before he could move troops, the remnants of the Khitan were destroyed. His Majesty the Emperor was very disappointed.
However, Zhao Shu also knew that he could not use his temperament. The Song Dynasty was like the world's number one master. He could not take action easily. Be reserved, be reserved!
"Master, it seems that the Jurchen soldiers are not weak now!"
Wang Ning'an nodded, "In the past, some people said that the Jurchen soldiers were invincible. Now it seems that it is not a big deal. At least ten thousand Jurchen soldiers can defeat more than 100,000 Liao soldiers... Wanyan Yingge did this to show flattery to the Song Dynasty and to demonstrate!"
Zhao Shu thought, "The Jurchens wanted to occupy Liaodong. They were nominally vassals of the Song Dynasty, but in fact they were overlords. When they accumulated enough strength, they would bite the Song Dynasty without hesitation!"
"I can't give them this opportunity, I will never agree!" Zhao Shu said sternly: "I will send troops now and destroy Wanyan Yingge!"
"Don't be busy!"
Wang Ning'an stopped the manic apprentice.
"Your Majesty, since Wanyan Yingge is going to be a vassal for us, the Song Dynasty must make good use of him and give him a decree first to see if he listens to it."
"What will?"
"Chasing and killing the remnants of the Khitan!"
Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, patted his forehead, and suddenly realized.
"It's better for the master. If he is obedient, he will use him to eliminate the Khitan forces. If he is disobedient, he will send troops to conquer and respond to the heavens!"
Zhao Shu thought about it and felt that his master's idea was very stable, but he was still too anxious... They were discussing, but suddenly someone sent a message saying that a team of people came back from the Khitan side.
"It should be Wen Jifu!"
Wang Ning'an smiled helplessly, "These days, Wen Yanbo has been putting me on a dog skin plaster. Now that his son is back, go and notify Mr. Wen and let him greet him!"
The guard went down, and Zhao Shu also smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that Wen Jifu was just a playboy in the high school. He did not avoid swords and dared to go on a mission to Khitan... He was also a warrior, and I went to greet him in person."
The emperor was dispatched, and Wang Ning'an could not without expression.
In this way, they all came outside the military camp, but when they looked around, there was no trace of Wen Jifu.
"Ah!" Lao Wen's eyes turned dark and he almost fell down. Wang Ning'an immediately reached out to support him. Wen Yanbo said viciously: "Wang Ning'an, please give my son back your life!"
"Don't worry, please ask about the situation first!"
Wang Ning'an was also worried. He stretched out his hand and called several people over.
"Where is Lord Wen, how is his situation?"
"Mr. Wen is very good! He is not in danger!"
Wang Ning'an also breathed a sigh of relief, but Lao Wen stared at him, "Why didn't he come back if he is fine? Where are the people?"
"Mr. Wen is going to chase the Khitan Emperor."
"What?"
Lao Wen was shocked, "Why is he chasing the Khitan Emperor? What's going on?"
Now even Wang Ning'an and Zhao Shu were interested and immediately asked.
The few people who came back told the situation... It turned out that Wen Jifu chased Kedun City all the way, and there were less than 10,000 people left by the Emperor Yelu Jun of the Liao Kingdom, and most of them were the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
But there were still thousands of defenders in Duncheng, but they were still loyal to the Liao lord.
Yelu Jun gathered more than 10,000 troops and felt a little safer.
But looking around, the Jin soldiers could come to fight at any time. The south of them was Xixia, where there were great Song garrisons. To the north, there were barren grasslands, barren and cold, and they could not support the army at all... Yelu Jun suddenly discovered that he had fallen into a desperate situation.
The same is true for other Khitan nobles and civil and military officials, and they are in shock.
At this time, someone was escorting Wen Jifu over. Yelu Jun saw it and was happy. He was the son of an important minister of the Song Dynasty. At the critical moment, it should be of some use, at least it can be used to save his life!
"Take him and go on the road with us."
But Duncheng can't live, but there must be a place to go... At this time, the people who escorted Wen Jifu had an idea for Yelu Jun, "Your Majesty, go west!"
"Going west? Can it work?"
"No problem, Keduncheng is a commercial road that connects north and south. From Keduncheng west, you can enter the territory of the Uighurs in Xizhou. They are vulnerable and can be repaired there and continue to go west at the right time."
Yelu Jun looked at the other party with surprise. Although this trade route exists, ordinary people don’t know it!
"Who told you?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, the young man was originally from Xixia. He had done business. Later, when Xixia destroyed his country, he surrendered to the Khitan... The Song Dynasty destroyed the country twice, and the young man was irreconcilable with the Song Dynasty! Your Majesty, no matter what, you cannot surrender to the Song Dynasty!"
He looked excited and shouted loudly.
Yelu Jun took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought for a long time.
"Well, pass on my will and the whole army will advance westward immediately!"
...
"The idea of going west was made by Lord Wen."
Wen Yanbo was stupid, "What did that rebel want to do? He won't come, why did he run west with the Khitans?"
The sender took out a letter and gave it to Wen Yanbo.
"This is written by Lord Wen himself, saying that he would hand it over to the prince and to the husband Wen."
Lao Wen snatched it and immediately opened it to watch it. Wang Ning'an was so angry that I obviously had a share, so I couldn't argue with Wen Yanbo, so I could only watch from behind.
After scanning the letter, Wang Ning'an was shocked!
It turns out that Wen Jifu believed that the Khitan territory was vast and there were many barbarian tribes who depended on the Khitan... If Yelu Jun rashly killed him, the subsequent battle would be endless and consumed national treasury and people's wealth.
The best way is to collect people under the banner of the Khitan emperor, gather all the barbarian tribes together, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.
In order to achieve this goal, Wen Jifu decided to fool Yelu Jun into the west... At the same time, he sent a letter to the Song Dynasty court, hoping that Wang Ning'an could send some people to let them get into the team that was moving west, and as his helper, if necessary, cooperate inside and outside to get rid of the disaster in one fell swoop!
After reading the letter, Lao Wen burst into tears, and his hands and feet were trembling.
"Prince, tell me, tell me! How about this son of me? How is it?"
What else can Wang Ning'an say? Wen Jifu is indeed powerful enough... He offered advice to let the Liao soldiers advance westward, and he could gather all the tribes loyal to the Khitan along the way, creating a good opportunity for the Song Dynasty to wipe out all the entire battle.
It can be said that he has good intentions and does not avoid swords and is a warrior!
Is Wen Jifu the only one that made Wang Ning'an hesitate? Is it Lao Wen's son? Why is it different from his father?
Wen Yanbo didn't think so. He felt that his son looked too similar to him. He pulled his chest high and was full of pride. He just wanted to beat drums and hype.
Not to mention, Wen Jifu's decision is really a risky one. If he made it, it would be a great achievement!
Whether it was for the Song Dynasty or the Wen family, he took risks.
Wang Ning'an pondered for a moment and immediately asked someone to bring the map.
Zhao Shu, Wang Ning'an, and Wen Yanbo, three people surrounded the map.
"From the west of Kedun City, it is the territory of the Xizhou Uighurs. In recent years, the Xizhou Uighurs nominally depended on the Song Dynasty, but it was like an independent kingdom, and there were many conflicts with the Song Dynasty... If the Khitan could subdue the Xizhou Uighurs, it would have a territory to settle down... If we go west again, it would be the territory of Seljuk!"
Wang Ning'an introduced him, and suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart!
If you remember correctly, in history, after the Khitan was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, a group of Khitans went to the Western Regions, with a route that was almost the same as it is now. Under the leadership of Yelu Dashi, they destroyed the Seljuk Empire, dominated Central Asia, and dominated the king for nearly a hundred years... Could it be that Wen Jifu started this incident in advance?
If the Khitan soldiers could enter Seljuk and act as the vanguard of the Song Dynasty, the time to enter Central Asia would be ripe!
Wang Ning'an looked south unconsciously. The Song Dynasty had been operating in the Western Regions for many years.
Accumulated 1.5 million immigrants to the Western Regions, plus merchants and soldiers, more than 2 million... In the Western Regions, tens of millions of acres of fertile land were opened to grow cotton and grains widely. Not only could they be self-sufficient, but they could also be sold back to the northwest.
The Song Dynasty had already built the railway to Jingzhao Prefecture. The next step was to connect Lanzhou Prefecture, Liangzhou, and Ganzhou, and build it all the way... The entire project will take several years, but a straight road was built before and it has been completed.
According to estimates, with this straight road, it can support 100,000 people in combat. With the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty imperial guards, as long as the road problems are solved, the rest will be smooth and there will be no obstacles!
Even Wang Ning'an was still a little passionate, and Wen Yanbo laughed loudly, full of excitement, and tears came out of laughter.
His son, who has been scolded and taught a lesson, actually took such a wonderful move, with good vision and good knowledge! He has the courage and determination, and is worthy of being Wen Yanbo's son!
If you put it to death, you will live without fighting, how can the Wen family make a comeback?
Lao Wen couldn't help but glance at Wang Ning'an with the corners of his eyes. The meaning was clearly provoking. I might not be able to fight you, but my son is capable, and your son is far from it...
"Master!" Zhao Shu suddenly shouted excitedly: "I want to send troops to the Western Regions and attack Seljuk. Immediately give Wanyan Yingge the order to chase the remnants of the Liao Kingdom, dare to disobey the order, and immediately attack!"
Zhao Shu suppressed his excitement and the Song Dynasty's chariot was really about to start.
"Mr. Wen, you have raised a good son. The father has no dog son!" This is the first time since the Yunzhou case, Zhao Shu praised Wen Yanbo. Lao Wen was extremely moved. "Your Majesty, the old minister was confused before. From now on, the old minister doesn't think about anything. He just serves the court with one heart. The son is not afraid of life and death. Old minister, the old minister cannot be inferior to his son!"
This old guy is really capable of acting. Not only did he enhance himself, but he also asked Wen Jifu for me. Zhao Shu was excited and would not care. He just asked everyone to be prepared for their own efforts and the army was to mobilize westward!
...
"Dad, I believe you!" Gou Yaer said silently: "Wen Jifu is a character. If he succeeds, he will not only destroy the Khitan, but also help His Majesty expand territory. His Wen family will be different in His Majesty's place!" Gou Yaer said very seriously.
"So what?" Wang Ning'an asked.
"You can't let others compete!" Gou Yaer said angrily: "I want everyone in the world to know that He Wen Jifu is not worthy of carrying my shoes!"
Chapter completed!
