So many forces rushing to take action are nothing more than the benefits promised by the Song Dynasty.
You don’t even need to give money directly, just liberalizing and increasing part of the banned trade next year is attractive enough.
Of course, the more important thing is to follow the trend.
For example, the Bohai people in Liaoyang had a feud with the Khitan to destroy the country and were bullied. Moreover, Xiao Gulu, who was guarding Liaoyang Mansion, was killed in battle. They were ready to make a move.
The Song Dynasty only sent people to provoke them a little, gave them support and benefits, and made them rebel.
The situation in Korea is roughly the same.
As for Xixia, Uighur and other countries, they did not dare to offend the Liao Kingdom blatantly, but the Song Dynasty gave them too much.
In addition, the Bohai people and the Koreans were in the lead, and they had the support of the Song Dynasty. If they didn't take the opportunity to kick the Liao Kingdom and earn some benefits, they would be sorry for themselves.
After all, the Liao Kingdom also bullied them.
But they still used some tricks to pretend to be robbers...
In the final analysis, it was the Liao Kingdom that was defeated, its strength was damaged, and its intimidation was greatly reduced, so they dared to take advantage of the situation and gain benefits from both Song and Liao.
Therefore, it was not how powerful Cao Bin was that allowed all the countries to form a unified control force against Liao.
He just liked to collect information and saw the weaknesses of the Liao Kingdom. With the help of the Song Dynasty's "money" advantage, he could take advantage of the trend and leverage the situation.
This is actually the same as Yelu Guanyinnu supporting Fangla's rebellion, except that Cao Bin got the news more timely, and did it more comprehensively and in-depth...
At this time, Emperor Liao's buttocks were almost smoking, and he felt that sitting on the throne was like sitting on a stove.
Not only was there a shortage of major generals under his command, chaos arose internally and externally. Even the Yelu royal family had doubts about his ability, and there was an undercurrent.
After the failure of sending troops, he and Guanyin Nuben were scolded by Empress Dowager Xiao.
At this time, he received another scolding.
Empress Dowager Xiao did not care about recuperating and quickly stepped forward to help Emperor Liao stabilize the situation in the court.
He also squeezed out soldiers and generals from his teeth to quell civil strife and resist invasion.
After finishing all this, Mrs. Xiao said seriously:
"Now the Liao Dynasty is in danger, but the Uighurs, Western Xia and even Goryeo can all be regarded as scabies. They are just taking advantage of the situation."
"Once the situation is favorable to Daliao, they will immediately retreat."
"The Bohai people are a thorn in their side. They are in a life-and-death struggle with Daliao. The top priority is to quickly put down the Bohai rebellion!"
"And the Song State is the most critical factor. We must not let them think that Daliao has an opportunity to take advantage of it and take action with all our strength..."
Emperor Liao nodded quickly and said:
"What the Queen Mother said is that the imperial sister is currently in peace talks with the Song Dynasty."
"My son immediately sent someone to hurry her up."
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said:
"Don't get too entangled with money. The attitude of the Song Dynasty is very important at this time. If I expected it right, they are leading the incident behind the scenes."
"Such a method is different from the past. It is really unexpectedly high. It seems that the Song Dynasty has produced another extraordinary person."
"...We must not let the Song Dynasty think that we, Daliao, have an opportunity to take advantage of it and take action with all our strength. We must let them withdraw their troops immediately!"
Why did the Liao Emperor:
"But the national treasury is empty. If the annual currency of the Song Dynasty decreases, it will be difficult to use money..."
Empress Dowager Xiao didn't bother to scold him for sending troops without authorization and losing the battle, and said directly:
"I still have some savings. You can get them first and wait until this year lasts."
Then he immediately ordered the female officials around him to go and take over. When Emperor Liao saw this, he was relieved.
But the female officer was so frightened that she turned pale, suddenly fell to her knees and cried:
"The Queen Mother makes atonement. Most of your savings have been misappropriated by the princess, and... you haven't paid them back yet."
When Queen Mother Xiao heard this, she was almost so angry that her head was filled with smoke.
"I......."
If this wasn't her own daughter, she would have wanted to strangle Yelu Guanyin slave to death.
Emperor Liao was also very speechless. Damn it, this girl is here to trick him again. Those are hundreds of thousands of strings, which were originally his.
Queen Mother Xiao said:
"Send someone to find her immediately and get the money back."
The female officer hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said:
"The princess said that the money was defrauded by Cao Bin of Song Dynasty, and she is thinking of a way!"
This time, Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Liao didn't want to talk anymore. They were psychologically shocked again. It took a long time before Emperor Liao gnashed his teeth and cursed:
"It's this guy again, don't let me catch him, otherwise, I will cut him into pieces to vent my hatred."
He was defeated before, and he, the majestic king of the country, was almost chased into a dog by him. Now he came to oppose him again, and he hated himself so much.
Queen Mother Xiao shook her head, rubbed her temples helplessly and said:
"I keep hearing the name Cao Bin these days. Could it be that he is also planning this time?"
As she spoke, she waved her hands and said:
"Okay, let's appease the Song Kingdom first, and then think of other ways to use the money."
Emperor Liao sighed: "I heard that Emperor Song was seriously ill, but why didn't he die? It would be better if he died now..."
After discussing the state affairs of the country, Queen Mother Xiao looked at this confidant female official who had teamed up with her daughter to steal her property...
Soon after, Yang Zongbao was relieved when he learned that the Liao Kingdom had sent a second wave of peace envoys.
It's not that he doesn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Liao on a large scale, but the situation in the Song Dynasty is not good now, and there is not much spare power at all.
If we start a full-scale war with the Liao Kingdom again, we will be desperate. One of the two countries will fall completely and take advantage of the other forces.
The imperial court will not allow this situation to occur. When the time comes to investigate the responsibility, Cao Bin and the Yang family will be the culprits.
So he was also frightened.
Fortunately, Cao Bin was well prepared and only allowed himself to enter Liao to plunder after confirming that all countries would take action.
This unit may seem dangerous, but it is actually very safe, and all parties cooperate in a timely manner.
Thinking of this, Yang Zongbao couldn't help but sigh:
"Cao Bin is a kind man!"
In the past, when we followed other people's orders, we always put our own pressure on ourselves. Let alone reinforcements, sometimes even the supply of food and grass was insufficient, and we rarely cared about the life and death of our soldiers.
Although this body is dedicated to the country, it is also the responsibility of a warrior to defeat the enemy and fight to the death, but sometimes it is inevitable to feel disappointed.
Cooperating with Cao Bin's plan is different.
He considered the situation of the frontline soldiers from the beginning, and the mission only required the soldiers to do what they were capable of, and even suggested that he could retreat at any time.
This makes people feel happy.
Jiao Tinggui didn't agree with Yang Zongbao's words at all, and joked:
"Zongbao, are you stupid? That boy Cao Bin is the most slippery and cunning, and you actually call him kind?"
As he spoke, he touched his ribs and said:
"Damn it, that kid even broke two of my ribs while I was drunk. He was so kind!"
Then, he took a sip of water and said:
"However, since he made me enjoy the battle this time, I will forgive him."
After speaking, he approached Yang Zongbao and said excitedly in a low voice:
"This time the credit is not small. How do you think the court will reward you? Can you be promoted to a noble title?"
"Zongbao, you personally lead the troops deep into the Liao territory, and you are likely to be promoted to marquis!"
When Yang Zongbao heard this, he also felt a little yearning. After being suppressed by his wife for so many years, he was finally catching up with her.
Although Mu Guiying's title of Hun Tianhou was only a non-hereditary title, he still felt a little uncomfortable after being held hostage by his wife for so many years.
