The envoys of the Liao Kingdom settled down in the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchen tribe. They ate meat, drank wine, and were accompanied by Jurchen women. Naturally, they were happy to miss the Liao. But Wanyan Yingge had to miss the Liao. He not only wanted to miss the Liao, but also wanted to miss the Liao. He must think deeply about Liao. Only in this way can he solve the problems that the Liao court has set for him.
After Wanyan Yingge settled the Liao envoys, he thought hard and couldn't come up with a good solution. Therefore, Wanyan Yingge decided to invite some tribal leaders to discuss this matter together to see if they had any good ideas. So, while the Liao envoy was riding with his men to hunt, Wanyan Yingge sent someone to invite the leaders of the Jurchen tribe who had surrendered to him to hold a meeting to study ways to deal with the Liao court.
The leaders received Wanyan Yingge's summons and did not dare to waste a moment. They galloped on their horses and arrived at the Wanyan tribe.
Wanyan Yingge called the leaders to sit down, looked around at them and said: "Dear leaders, He Shilie's tribe Ashu is wreaking havoc and doing whatever he wants, blocking the imperial court's Eagle Road. Therefore, the imperial court sent us to send troops to conquer Ah Shu. Sparse. The leaders are all aware of this situation."
All the leaders nodded and said, "I know, I know."
Wanyan Yingge also nodded and continued: "This military envoy took advantage of the divine power of the leaders to personally lead the men of each tribe to gallop on the battlefield, charge into battle, and go through life and death. After a lot of effort, he finally wiped out the Heshi Lie tribe and seized the victory. With the property and men from He Shilie's tribe, all the tribes have gained something, which is really a gratifying thing. Who knows, Na Ashu fled to the imperial court and fooled the imperial court to absolve him of his crime. Now the imperial court We also sent envoys to ask us to return the property and troops of Heshilie’s tribe.”
"What?!" The leaders of the various tribes participating in the meeting immediately became angry and argued: "Return Ashu City and property? This will never happen!"
Seeing the quarreling leaders, Wanyan Yingge stopped and asked the leaders to calm down. He continued: "Today, the Jiedu Envoy summoned the leaders to discuss this matter. This is the situation, everyone. Discuss, what should we do now?”
"What should I pay back? No!" Wanyan Yingge had just finished explaining the situation when a man jumped up from the seats and said loudly: "We are not allowed to take Ashu's city, products and women away. We have nothing to do and we have to go." Fighting? Our Jurchens' lives are not our lives, so we should serve the Khitans in vain? No repayment! Definitely no repayment!"
Wanyan Yingge raised her eyes and saw that it was Te Lin, the leader of the Zhukuma tribe.
Te Lin jumped up and said angrily: "Chiefs, tell me, how can this be true? Why should we return the city god we captured?! We Jurchens have had the custom of the strong being the king since ancient times. Any city captured is our city; any property robbed is our property; any woman robbed is our woman. There is nothing wrong with this, so why should it be returned now? In my opinion, absolutely No return!”
Seeing this, Wanyan Yingge thought that it was time to make a scene so that the Liao envoys could know the strong opposition of the Jurchen tribes. Although Wanyan Yingge thought so in her heart, she pretended to be helpless on the surface, and said resentfully: "Chief Te Lin, you are right, I think the same way, but the imperial court's order, We Jurchens still have to abide by it."
When the other tribal leaders heard this, they were not convinced and started making noises.
The leader of the Tuda tribe, Adali, stood up and said loudly: "Wanyan Jiedushi, let me tell you, the court is the court of his Khitan people, not the court of our Jurchens, let's give him a try! He thinks he is Our Jurchen court?! He returned it as soon as he said it would be returned?! Besides, the Khitan court is so high and the emperor is far away, what can he do to us?! It was his Heshi Liebu Ashu who betrayed us first, and we obey the order After quelling the rebellion, it is natural to seize Ashu's city god and rob his property and women. Why should we return it? Let me tell you, don't worry about accusing him of so many things. We Jurchens can handle it themselves. yes."
When all the leaders heard this, they all shouted loudly: "Yes! What's the truth? Just do what leader Ada said! Why do you care what Khitan Nado does to accuse him?!"
Seeing this, Wanyan Yingge pretended to be embarrassed and said: "What you leaders said is absolutely true! However, this Jiedushi is the Jiedushi of the Jurchen Tribe Alliance appointed by the Liao court. You can ignore the court's instructions, but I can't ignore it. If the leaders insist on refusing to return Ashu's city, property and women, the imperial court will definitely not allow it, and it will be difficult for this envoy to do business."
The leaders shouted: "What's so bad about this?! In front of the Khitan envoy, the Jiedu envoy said that we refused to return it and asked him to come to us to ask for it."
When Wanyan Yingge heard this, she shook her head and sighed, looking helpless.
In the excitement of the crowd, the leader of the Kehu tribe, A Ke, leaned forward in his seat and said slowly: "Gentlemen, this is what I say. However, the Liao Kingdom is the suzerain of our Jurchens. It has strong soldiers and horses. Because of a Ashu has angered the imperial court to the point of fighting with each other, which may not be the best idea. In my opinion, it is better to listen to the imperial court and return the city god and property of Heshilie's tribe, and release their troops, instead of letting them all go. Yan Jiedu is in a dilemma."
"Nonsense!" The neighbor became agitated when he heard this. He slapped the table vigorously and reprimanded A'ke loudly: "A'ke! What the hell are you talking about?! Are you a Jurchen man?! Jurchen men are neither." How can people who are greedy for life and fearful of death do what the Khitan court says? It was his court who asked us to fight, and it was Wanyan Jiedushi who led us to fight. Now we will not fight, but we will return the property, people and horses. It was also said by his court that he asked Wanyan Jiedushi to send a message to us. What did he think of us Jurchens?! That woman from Ashu snatched her away as soon as she said she was going to snatch her away. Can she put her back when she said she would let her go? I have given all the women to the tribe’s sons, how can I give them back to him?! Can our sons be willing?”
Akko was reprimanded by Te Lin in public. His face could not change, and he became angry. He slapped the table and yelled: "Te Lin is reckless! Who are you yelling at?! You have to use your brain in everything. How can you act based on loyalty? ? Since you said that Jurchen men are not greedy for life and fear of death, then well, you are a Jurchen man, and your neighbor has brought his troops to fight with the imperial court. I think you can beat the imperial court."
This provocation was so powerful that Te Lin was speechless for a moment, and suddenly became angry with embarrassment. He jumped up, rushed over, and was about to beat A Ke.
Several other tribal leaders hurriedly stood up and stopped Te Lin.
Wanyan Yingge also hurriedly stood up and advised: "Brothers, please be patient. This is the current situation. I want to inform everyone so that everyone has an idea. Since everyone has different opinions, I can't be arbitrary. ;So, let me figure out a way next, and I will get this thing done."
Te Lin, the leader of the Zhukuma tribe, was persuaded by other leaders, and after hearing what Wanyan Yingge said, he was worried that Wanyan Yingge would return Ashu's city god and property, so he looked at Wanyan Yingge and said sincerely Said: "Wanyan Jiedushi must not return the property, release the troops, and withdraw the soldiers stationed in Ashu City. If that happens, our service will be in vain. The key is where is the face of our Jurchens? You Wanyanjie Where is the face of the envoy?"
Wanyan Yingge nodded and replied: "I know, I know, I know this."
A Ke was displeased when he heard what he said. He also stood up and told Wanyan Yingsong: "Wanyan Jiedushi, think twice about everything. Don't start a war lightly, because you will lose the big because of the small."
Hearing this, Wanyan Yingge nodded again and replied: "I know, I know, I know this."
The leaders couldn't understand what Wanyan Yingge meant, so they all looked at each other in confusion.
Upon seeing this, Wanyan Yingge said, "Everyone, leaders, please go back. I will call you back to discuss whatever happens."
Upon hearing this, the leaders of each tribe stood up one after another and walked out of Wanyan Yingge's hall.
After Wanyan Yingge waited for the other leaders to go out, she just sat down in her seat when she heard a commotion outside.
Wanyan Yingge didn't know what was going on, so she quickly got up and went outside the tent to take a look. It turned out that Te Lin and A Ke started fighting again after they left Wanyan Yingge's lobby because of their disagreement.
The two men cursed at each other, one pulled the neck collar of the other, and punched each other with their fists.
Upon seeing this, Wanyan Yingge hurried over and pulled Te Lin and A Ke away.
Other leaders also persuaded Te Lin and A Ke.
Finally, Wanyan Yingge persuaded Te Lin and A Ke to leave, and also persuaded the tribal leaders to leave one after another, before returning to her lobby, wondering how to deal with this thorny issue at hand.
The envoys of the Liao Dynasty came back from hunting and happened to see the scene just now. They thought that if the Jurchens were not united with each other, they would not be a threat to the court. The court could take advantage of their conflicts to make them fight each other and consume each other's strength. .
The Liao envoys were secretly proud.
Wanyan Yingge, who returned to the lobby, sat on the chair and thought to herself: "I can't listen to the opinions of Te Lin and A Ke. If I listen to Te Lin's opinions, I will ignore the court. If you insist on going your own way, you will definitely annoy the imperial court. The next step is to have a showdown with the imperial court and start a fight between the two. This seems a bit early; if you listen to A Ke's opinion, obey the imperial court's decree, and return Heshi Lie If I want to return all the property of the tribe, return the men and horses of He Shilie's tribe, and withdraw the soldiers who defended the city, it will inevitably cause the Wanyan tribe's prestige among the Jurchen tribe to decline. If anything happens among the tribes in the future, I, the Jiedu envoy, will have no appeal."
The property must never be returned, the people must never be put back, and the men and horses of Ashu City must not be withdrawn! Wanyan Yingge strengthened this determination.
However, how can this be achieved?
Wanyan Yingge was thinking of a way to have the best of both worlds, not to return the property and people, but also not to offend the court, so that the court would always trust me.
After thinking for a while, Wanyan Yingge suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Yes!"
What can Wanyan Yingge do?
It turned out that Wanyan Yingge suddenly thought of a way, which was to secretly instruct several tough-minded Jurchen tribes to block the court's Eagle Road again and let the Liao court conquer it on their own. Once the court failed to conquer, they would still have to ask for help. When I came here, I told the court that we must not tolerate the rebellious tribes. If we were tolerant, the Eagle Road would not be guaranteed, and they would block the court's Eagle Road from time to time.
So, what should we do if the tribe blocking the Eagle Road cannot defeat the imperial army?
Wanyan Yingge also thought about it. When the time comes, he will send people from his own tribe to help other tribes resist the imperial conquest. In this way, firstly, he can resist the conquest of the Liao Kingdom, and secondly, he can get familiar with the Liao Kingdom in advance. His fighting style, feel his strength, and you will be sure when it comes time to raise troops to rebel against the Liao Dynasty.
After Wanyan Yingge thought about it, she quickly recruited two followers, asked them to ride fast horses, and chased Te Lin and Ada back respectively.
The two followers were ordered to ride on their fast horses and chased Te Lin and Ada respectively.
