Chapter five hundred and eighty first milk
Is Yelu Dashi's true personality so open-minded?
As the only Khitan Jinshi in the 200 years since the founding of the Khitan Kingdom, Yelu Dashi, who was proficient in Han culture, would not be so open-minded.
But now he shows that "style of doing things" is like this.
Xiao Orila immediately had a clue in his heart.
Yelu Dashi was obviously willing to turn war with the Song people into jade. Perhaps Richard confessed like this at the beginning of today, it may be that he and Yelu Dashi had secretly communicated with each other.
"What the King of Xia said is extremely true. The emperor's title is nothing more than a false reputation, and it is profitable to turn wars with the Song people into jade and silk. The troops on the western front of our army have already touched the Hazard Sea (Casprai). The Sikpchak people are vulnerable, so it is easy to take them westward. As long as we can quit with the Song people, our army will have no worries."
Xiao Orila never thought of going back to his hometown one day.
The current Western Liao Dynasty is very different from the Western Liao Dynasty, which has never forgotten the eastern expedition in history. The people above and below have already given up their worries about returning to their hometown. The power and invincible Zhao Song have built a mountain in their hearts where they cannot see the peak.
In this way, survival and death continue, and preserving the Khitan (Dangxiang) clan became everyone's greatest wish.
For safety reasons, it is not a good thing to get too close to the Song people. It is best to hide as far as you want. The strategy to go west is the common wish of everyone!
But in order to guard against the assault of the Song army, they still left some of their troops to guard the east even when they fought with the Kepchak people at the most critical moment.
Now that we can turn war into jade with the Song people, we will not talk about the gains and losses of economic interests - just like the Grassland Silk Road in the past few years, once the Western Liao reconcile with the Zhao Song, the silk, porcelain, tea, rhubarb, iron pots and so on in the Central Plains can all be sent to the Western Liao through the river through the Western Regions. Then it is directly transported to the farther West through the Western Liao!
It is said that there, the value of silk is equivalent to gold. At that time, Xi Liao naturally had huge economic benefits.
But let’s not talk about economic interests, but only about military interests. If a large number of soldiers on the Eastern Front can be drawn to the Western Front, the Kepchak people, who are not opponents of Western Liao, will inevitably be even less of opponents.
Even the more western Duchy of Ross, the Pecchneg and the Hungarians, Xiao Orila did not take it seriously.
The Xiliao Group is not an ignorant person with obstruction and eyes. They know very well that there is a place called the Krim Peninsula to the west of the Hazard Sea, where the water and grass are abundant, the climate is warm and humid, which is much better than the Qincha grassland they occupy now.
And across the Crem Peninsula, that is, the Pechenegs and Hungarians, the temperature here will be warmer and there will be large fertile land for cultivation.
Two hundred years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Khitans have long been no longer simply nomadic peoples. Even the Dangxiang people are not just nomadic peoples. Although their previous farming and handicrafts relied on Han people, this does not mean that the top figures of the two tribes would be so stupid that they thought nomadic people were more secure than farming!
I never planned to be a purely nomadic Khitan or Dangxiang person, and I longed to cultivate the land from the bottom of my heart.
The Qincha Grassland naturally has a lot of fertile land, but the winter here is really too cold.
Whether it was the Khitans or the Dangxiang people, the nobles of both tribes were not adapted to the cold winter of the Qincha grassland. Even if the Song people did not drive them westward, they would spontaneously go westward.
Because they remained there, they were simply unable to develop southward.
The Song people who occupied the East and West Karakhanate will definitely not give them space and opportunities to develop southward.
Now that bilateral relations can reconcile, that is definitely the best thing.
Even if the remnants of the Dangxiang were willing to endure the hatred of the country's destruction, the Khitans would be even more ill.
The enlarged meeting of the Western Liao political and military group came to an end successfully. Yelu Dashi and Richard met with Yuwen Xuzhong, a member of the Song Dynasty who was in charge of the Hezhong area.
Yelu Dashi completely agreed to the conditions brought by Yuwen Xuzhong. Brother Richard next to him looked at Yuwen Xuzhong and unexpectedly found that he could not feel the previous hatred in his heart.
It’s not that he didn’t hate at all, but that he had no other determination before.
Have you been wiped out by the ruthless wind and snow in recent years?
Richard suddenly admired Su Wu, who had been shepherded in Beihai for 19 years, and felt lost.
Yuwen Xuzhong was also overjoyed. This was achieved, not only did the new Anxi Protectorate less threats to the north, but Yuwen Xuzhong then sent troops to the north, but he could also pick up a big piece of it.
"The two of you know the general and understand the general trend, and they are really a great man. You dare to ask the two to know that when the envoys from Bianjing arrive, the officials will be given a gift together. This official also has a great gift here. Next, the two of you will think carefully about what they lack, and what they want."
In terms of emotion and reason, before the Western Liao Dynasty advanced westward, Zhao Song had to breastfeed them hard.
From the various military supplies needed by the Western Liao Dynasty to the race they needed the most, the Song Dynasty could deliver them.
Zhao Gou could even take out the plate armor. As long as Yelu Dashi and Richard can take out the exchanged money and goods, he could give the first generation plate armor to the Western Liao.
As for race, there are many Dangxiang labor reform prisoners in detention in the northwest.
On the contrary, the Khitans, who had a more glorious history, integrated into the Song Dynasty more easily than the Dangxiang people.
But SouSouZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiaoZiao
Yelu Dashi and Richard quickly got the meaning of Yuwen Xu's words, and each looked overjoyed.
What was their biggest worry since they moved westward? That was that they could not merge all the conquered tribes as soon as possible.
And why can't you do this quickly?
Of course, it is because they have few people, but there are more conquered tribes.
Even though Yelu Dashi and Richard both plundered a large number of women and distributed them to their subordinates, in recent years, there have been many small radish heads under their command.
However, it will take at least more than ten years to wait for them to come in handy.
A life can easily be eliminated on the battlefield, but it will take at least twenty years to nurture it.
This is just like Zhao Gou's thoughts when he dealt with the Eight Banners in the late Ming Dynasty in his previous life. You Tartars are very good at fighting, but I will fight you to the end. There are hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains, and countless adult men are numerous, and how many Eight Banners are there?
If you can't fight against you one by one, I can fight against you two or three of you, and you can't stand it.
Western Liao is now facing the same dilemma as the Tartars - insufficient manpower.
If he could be supported by Zhao Song at this point, let alone asking Yelu Dashi to go to the imperial title, he would be willing to ask Yelu Dashi to call Zhao Gou's father.
