Wu Qi bought it!
On the second night after Zhao Gou and Zhao Kai met, they quietly withdrew their troops from the Yellow River and Beihe. Although at noon the day before, Li Shifu had led 20,000 cavalry southward and headed straight for Xingzhou. But Wu Qimai still evacuated cautiously. Not only did he evacuate quietly at night, he didn't even dare to use a torch. They didn't even dare to break camp and leave, but left all the tents and flags in place, and left 2,000 kidnapper horses to show off in and around the camp.
In addition, Wu Qimai also asked his son Wanyan Zongpan to lead 5,000 kidnapping horses to the rear.
The 2,000 kidnapper horses who were left behind to guard the camp did not retreat quietly until twelve hours after Wu Qimai's army withdrew. They also did not dare to break camp or burn down the camp. Instead, all the tents, including Wu Qimai's own golden-domed tent, were left to the Song army on the north and south banks of the Yellow River.
However, these camps did not remain idle for long. The gold soldiers Wu begged for had only left for a few days when Yelu Dashi led his 20,000 Khitan cavalry (including many White Tatars and Zubu people) in a mighty Crossed the Black Mountain, and then drove directly into the camp left by the Jin soldiers and the north city of Wu Lahai City.
The five-color military flag of the Khitan and the six-color flag dedicated to the princes of Daliao replaced the red and black sun-and-moon flag of the Jin people and appeared on the north bank of the Yellow River.
This is the 20,000 Liao army led by Yelu Dashi himself!
And they were Liao soldiers who had been training in the bitter cold of Mobei for several years. If they had been replaced by the Song army before the Xuanhe War, they would probably have trembled in their calves when they saw these Liao soldiers coming... But in this era Changed, the Song Dynasty that started playing drums again was Songpi Tanggu, and it was still the bones of the early Tang Dynasty. It also used its golden finger to introduce black technologies such as "fried pot", "hot pot cannon" and "casserole cannon"!
Therefore, the one who feels guilty now is not Zhao Kai in the main city of Wu Lahai on the north bank of the Yellow River, but Yelu Dashi, the king of Liao Dynasty, who is sitting in the golden-domed tent that originally belonged to Wu Qibi.
When the Song and Jin families fought a decisive battle on the grasslands at the southern foot of Montenegro, Yelu Dashi was wandering on the grasslands north of Montenegro. Through his allies in the White Tatar tribe (there were some White Tatars in the Mongol army) (center), Oishi generally knows what happened in this battle.
He knew that the 100,000 Jin soldiers commanded by Emperor Da Jin were not defeated by the Song army of similar numbers led by Zhao Kai, but by the vanguard of 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers led by Zhao Kai's general Yue Fei... .And it failed miserably!
Even Wanyan Loushi, the most powerful general of the Jin Kingdom, was killed by Song people's firearms when he led a night attack on the Song camp at Tiefutu!
And the embarrassing appearance of Emperor Dajin when he withdrew his troops from the front line of Montenegro also shows that they were really beaten badly in the Battle of Montenegro!
Sixty to seventy thousand people fled for two to three hundred miles on the grassland, passed through the territory of the Tiande Army, and only dared to stop and take a rest when they reached Yunnei Prefecture.
In addition to feeling guilty, Yelu Dashi is still angry!
He was angry with Xiao Heda who, like him, was bent on reviving the Liao Kingdom... Because early this morning, Xiao Heda, who was stationed on the south bank of the North and South banks of the Yellow River, excitedly came to Yelu Dashi. In the army, they also kindly proposed a plan to "recognize their father and save the country" to restore the Liao Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I think back then Shi Jingtang first recognized Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty as his father, and then ceded the land of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun before he received reinforcements from the Liao Dynasty, defeated the late Emperor Li Congke of the Later Tang Dynasty, and established the Later Jin Dynasty. Now, Your Majesty It would be better to imitate Shi Jingtang, profess vassalage to the Song Dynasty, recognize the officials of the Song Dynasty as my father, and then cede the land of the sixteen states of Yanyun..."
"Xiao Heda, what nonsense are you talking about? How can the king imitate Shi Jingtang?"
Before Xiao Heda finished speaking about his strategy for restoring Liao, someone jumped up to oppose him. The man who opposed him was from the same clan as Xiao Heda, both had a surname of Xiao and a first name of Orili.
Xiao Orila was not only Yelu Dashi's most important minister, but also Dashi's partner - Daliao World had always been a partnership between the Yelu family and the Xiao family. In Yelu Dashi's group, Dashi himself represents the Yelu family, and Xiao Orila represents the Xiao family.
Originally, the status of the two of them was very stable, and the cooperative relationship was also very solid, but now... Xiao Heda suddenly appeared!
This Xiao Heda brought his team to join the gang!
Now there are more than 10,000 Khitan families following him... This number is comparable to Yelu Dashi's base in Mobei.
Moreover, Xiao Heda also received the support of the officials of the Song Dynasty. He was the military governor of the Song Dynasty... and Xiao Heda also had a piece of Khitan in his hand that was enough to make those days in Mobei miserable. The coveted territory - the Hejian grassland at the foot of Black Mountain, according to Zhao Kai's plan, was to be handed over to the rule of the Dingnan Army in exchange for the Dingnan Army's existing land in Yin, Xia and Youzhou.
This is a good place for farming and grazing! The aquatic plants in this area can no longer be described as "abundant", but are overflowing!
If it weren't for the frequent flooding of the Yellow River in this area, this area could be turned into an agricultural area... But even if the Yellow River here often floods, the water conservancy facilities used for water diversion and flood control have been lost due to disrepair. effect.
But it is not difficult to cultivate millions of acres of fertile land on the river grassland at the foot of Black Mountain - the Hetao Reclamation Area in later generations has 18 million acres of fertile land! Moreover, the Heishan Weifu Military Division of Xixia also cultivated fields around Wu Lahai City, and the cultivated land was not only a million acres but also hundreds of thousands of acres.
Therefore, with a little development, Xiao Heda can harvest more than 1 million shi of wheat from the river grassland at the foot of Black Mountain every year, and can also raise hundreds of thousands of various livestock.
The most enviable thing is that the land at the foot of Heishan Mountain is not too cold in winter because the Heishan Mountains block the cold wind. It can be used as a winter refuge for the Khitan headquarters who are nomadic in the Mobei and Monan grasslands.
With this winter refuge, Yelu Dashi's tribe will not be afraid of the "white disaster" on the grassland in winter... This will be conducive to the rapid growth of Dashi's tribe!
Therefore, Xiao Heda is an extremely important partner for the current Dashi... After he joins the Dashi Group, he will definitely replace Xiao Weili and become the number two figure!
Can Xiao Weili not hate Xiao Heda?
But even if he hated it, he couldn't stop Dashi from cooperating with Xiao Heda!
After all, the resources Xiao Heda holds are urgently needed by the Dashi Group... Moreover, behind Xiao Heda stands a Song Dynasty with "Song skin and Tang bones"!
Just asking Dashi to be Zhao Kai's son and "ceding the sixteen states of Yanyun" is really a bit unacceptable.
Yelu Dashi also shook his head and said: "You had taken refuge in the Song Dynasty back then, so you wouldn't have considered Zhao Kai as your father, right?"
Xiao Heda smiled bitterly: "If you had taken refuge in the Song Dynasty, you would have recognized Zhuang Zong as your father. Now you are the sworn brother of the official family... If I had known this, it would be better to recognize my father earlier."
Yelu Dashi glanced at Xiao Heda angrily - Can we not recognize the wild father?
Xiao Heda shook his head: "Your Majesty... If you don't want to be an emperor, then you can only temporarily stop proclaiming the emperor, proclaim yourself a king and become a minister to the Song Dynasty, and then cede the land of the sixteen states of Yanyun."
"Can't we call it a country of brothers?" Xiao Weili said, "Didn't we agree to be sworn brothers before? Why have we changed our identity to father now?"
When he said this, he looked at Yelu Yujian angrily. Yu Jian said that we were sworn brothers! How come you have become a wild father now? Just a generation younger for no reason?
Moreover, Yelu Dashi is several years older than Zhao Kai! Just recognize him as an uncle... It often happens that the uncle is young and the nephew is old.
But this dad...except for Shi Jingtang, no one seems to have recognized a dad who is younger than him, right?
Yelu Yujian was helpless. When he went north, Zhao Kai's army was still at a disadvantage in the field battle with the Jin soldiers.
Who knew that as soon as the "Casserole Cannon" appeared, the balance of power would quickly reverse?
Yelu Yujian shook his head and said: "Why don't you... recognize me as your godmother? There is a precedent for this... Emperor An Lushan of Yan Dynasty recognized Yang Yuhuan as his mother. Why don't we just accept her as my mother?" The Empress of the Song Dynasty is the mother..."
Xiao Heda shook his head and said: "Empress Zhu is even younger, she is only in her early 20s now..."
Come on, if you don’t recognize the wild father, then you will recognize the little mother!
Yelu Dashi said with a stern face: "I, Yelu Dashi, am a manly man and a man of heaven and earth. How can I trust my father and my mother to revive the Liao Dynasty? My ancestors have spirits in the sky, and they will not be happy!"
"Then you can't proclaim yourself emperor..." Yelu Yujian reminded, "If the king proclaims himself a minister to the Southern Dynasty, it doesn't have to be like acknowledging his godfather... But if you proclaim yourself a minister, you can't claim to have the dignity of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. ”
Yelu Dashi said: "The lonely king is determined to restore the Liao Dynasty, but he has never thought of becoming the emperor. Even the current title of king is not for the lonely family."
They were all forced... Forced to become an emperor!
Yelu Dashi said again: "In order to restore the Liao Dynasty, I can become a minister to the Southern Dynasty."
Yelu Yujian and Xiao Heda looked at each other, and they were both a little disappointed... The emperor is also an emperor! If you don’t do it now, you may not even have this in the future!
If you want to proclaim yourself a minister first and then an emperor...that is fighting for independence, splitting the Song Dynasty, and being a treacherous minister!
Just wait to be punished by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty! The Song Dynasty is so powerful now, and it will definitely be even more powerful in the future. How can they beat it?
Thinking of this, Xiao Heda said: "In what name does the king want to declare himself a minister?"
"What name?" Xiao Weili asked, "Xiao Heda, what do you mean?"
Xiao Heda explained: "Does the king proclaim himself a vassal in the name of the Lord of the Liao Kingdom, or does he proclaim himself a vassal in the name of the King of Mobei? If the King considers himself the lord of the Liao Kingdom, then once the King declares his vassalship, the Liao Kingdom will surrender to the Song Dynasty... ...The king can be granted the title of King of Liao."
Yelu Yujian added: "If the king serves as the chief minister of Mobei and joins the Song Dynasty, it will be no problem to grant the title of Jiedushi of Beiting and the king of Liao. But the king of Liao will at most be the king of the Song Dynasty, but there is no such thing as the Liao Kingdom. .”
Why is it so troublesome to call yourself a minister?
Yelu Dashi felt like he was trapped by the Song Dynasty!
To be an emperor, you have to be a son!
If you want to be a king, you have to accept the Liao Dynasty and surrender to the Song Dynasty!
If you want to avoid recognizing Ye Dad and surrendering to the Song Dynasty, you can only become a military governor, and the Liao Kingdom will be gone!
What should Yelv Dashi be?
