Khitan, in the Chinese army's tent.
Yelu Abaoji sat in the first place, and on the left and right sides were Generalissimo Yelu Yaoguang and Shi Jingtang. In addition, there were some important figures in the Khitan army.
"Great Khan, I believe that the Longquan treasure Khitan must be seized. There are three reasons for this..."
Before Shi Jingtang finished speaking, he was interrupted by a bearded man in the tent: "Master Shi, you might as well tell us, I don't know if it will make our ears calluses!"
As he spoke, the bearded man reached out and took out his ears, looking at Shi Jingtang with disdain in his eyes and a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Shi Jingtang did not have a position in the Khitan army, but because of his special status, he was both the adopted son and son-in-law of the former Jin Dynasty King Li Siyuan. Khan Yelu Abaoji and Grand Marshal Yelu Yao Guangcai brought him under his control, but among these Khitan soldiers It is not important in the eyes of important people.
The Jin Kingdom is no longer what it used to be. It is so weak that it is vulnerable to the Khitan cavalry.
Therefore, these individuals are not very optimistic about Shi Jingtang, an important figure in the Jin State who has taken refuge in their Khitan. After all, the Jin State is like that. Regardless of whether there is Shi Jingtang or not, they can still conquer the Jin State.
In their opinion, the fact that the Khitan army was able to attack several cities and defeat a total of 380,000 Jin troops in just one month was all due to them and the good leadership of the Great Khan and the Generalissimo. But it has nothing to do with this Shi Jingtang.
And it was this person who held meetings again and again to advise the Great Khan to seize the Longquan treasure. The Great Khan was not annoyed, but they were all annoyed.
In the past few days, this bearded man happened to have exchanged a few Han slave girls with others. Every time he wanted to vent, he was interrupted by the people sent by the Khan to come to him for a meeting.
The Great Khan was wise and brave, and he was the person he respected the most. There was no way he could blame the Great Khan.
Then, all the resentment will be attributed to Shi Jingtang, the culprit.
However, Shi Jingtang usually stayed in his tent and usually did not leave the tent.
Even after leaving the camp, either looking for the Generalissimo or the Great Khan, there was really no chance to trouble Shi Jingtang.
And Shi Jingtang's camp was guarded by the Great Khan's personal guards, so it was even more difficult for him to come and cause trouble.
There is no other way but to make Shi Jingtang feel uncomfortable at this meeting!
Yelu Abaoji did not stop this bearded man from making rude remarks. Although he valued Shi Jingtang, he only valued him, and Shi Jingtang was not a Khitan after all.
As the saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different!
He naturally knew that Shi Jingtang had taken refuge with them and led them into the Central Plains. Shi Jingtang naturally had his own thoughts.
But, he doesn't care!
The world is clamoring for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. In the past few decades, Zhu Wen was not the only one who felt that the Jin State was a tough nut to crack. The Khitans were also suppressed by the Jin State and could not lift their heads. .
Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, father and son, are more terrifying than the other.
Previously, the relationship between the Jin State and the Khitan was good. That was not just empty talk, it was a fact. The Khitan was basically subdued by the father and son and once became a subsidiary of the Jin State. Could this relationship be bad?
Therefore, when Shi Jingtang, an important figure in the Jin Kingdom, surrendered, Yelu Abaoji should naturally take it seriously!
However, after fighting this way, he suddenly discovered that the Jin Kingdom did not seem so scary after Li Keyong, Li Cunxu, and Li Siyuan left. It was like a paper tiger that was strong on the outside and was strong on the outside, and it broke with one poke.
Therefore, he didn't take Shi Jingtang so seriously!
Of course, Shi Jingtang is still very important. This is an excellent tool that can make their invasion justifiable.
It's just that you don't have to be so enthusiastic and you can suppress it appropriately.
On the contrary, Yelu Yaoguang had a favorable impression of Shi Jingtang because he agreed with some of Shi Jingtang's views.
Hearing someone mocking Shi Jingtang, he immediately frowned. Shi Jingtang was a guest after all, and it was really rude to mock Shi Jingtang like this.
】
Just as he was about to scold the taunting person, he was stopped by the look in Yelu Abaoji's eyes. He clenched his fists, finally suppressed it, and drank a bowl of wine to vent his anger.
But even though he was treated with disdain and ridiculed, Shi Jingtang was not annoyed at all. He still kept a smile, with a slightly flattering look, stood up and bowed to Khan Yelu Abaoji and Generalissimo Yelu Yao. He cupped his hands, and finally cupped his hands slightly toward the bearded man.
"Then let me tell you the three advantages of this according to what your Excellency said."
"you······"
Seeing Shi Jingtang pretending not to understand, the bearded man suddenly became furious.
However, before his anger could be vented, Yelu Abaoji, who was at the top of the list, spoke majestically: "Dage, listen carefully to Master Shi!"
Although it is necessary to suppress Shi Jingtang appropriately, it should not be overdone. There is still some difference between a tool that is willing to actively cooperate and a puppet that is unwilling to cooperate.
"yes!"
The bearded man named Da Ge immediately clenched his right fist close to his heart and saluted Yelu Abaoji. After looking at Shi Jingtang unkindly, he remained silent.
The Great Khan has already spoken, what else can he say? Just listen!
Seeing that the bearded man was honest, Yelu Abaoji nodded towards Shi Jingtang: "Master Shi, please continue!"
Shi Jingtang slightly cupped his hands and said: "One of the reasons is that this Longquan treasure is the restoration treasure of the Li and Tang royal family. The wealth in it is so huge that you can't imagine it. If converted into food and grass, I estimate that it can supply the army to fight in the Central Plains. It won’t be a problem for three to five years, but even so, wouldn’t your lords be moved?”
Looking around at everyone except Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Yaoguang, Shi Jingtang raised his head slightly. Before that, he had been thinking about how to persuade Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Yaoguang.
Now, he wanted to convince these important figures in the Khitan army first.
The power of these people is naturally inferior to that of Yelu Abaoji, but together they have the opportunity to shake Yelu Abaoji's ideas, which is far more useful than his sharp tongue.
"this······"
After hearing Shi Jingtang's estimate of the wealth of the Longquan treasure, these important military figures in the tent suddenly didn't know how to refute and began to whisper.
"If there are really so many, then we really can't let them go!"
"Yes, yes, it would be a pity not to take it!"
"How many cattle and sheep are there? I can't even calculate them!"
"Hey, don't tell me, I can't even count~"
"If you don't take it, you won't take it. In these cities, all the rich people ran away, and they didn't get anything good at all!"
