    Chao Gai also stood up involuntarily and said: "The prince said it well. Although our current national strength is not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, I, Daliang, will never sign an alliance under the city, let alone use the people's taxes to humiliate and seek peace."

    Seeing that the emperor said this, all the officials hurriedly said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

    Huang Qianshan, who was lying limply on the ground, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, knowing that one of his feet had already entered the gate of hell.

    Chao Gai sat down again and said directly without further discussion: "Prince, how many more troops do you want to bring north?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The Liao Kingdom will certainly not be able to muster many troops. Lu Junyi and other fifty thousand soldiers and horses will be enough. Besides, the Liao Kingdom does not dare to fight for a long time. As long as the Liao Kingdom is severely beaten in one battle, then it will seek peace."  I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s them.¡±

    Chao Gai shook his head and said: "Although the Liao Kingdom has declined, the power of the tiger is still there. You cannot underestimate the enemy. There are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in Tokyo. You can bring another 20,000."

    Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are already enough. I thought it would be better to send General Lin to Xijing to defend against Wang Qing and Tian Hu's attack, while Wu Song and Mu Hong stayed in Tokyo to take precautions. Wang Qing and Tian  Hu is also busy attacking cities and territories. They are really sending troops to attack Xijing. Their troops and horses are limited. They send 20,000 troops and horses plus Xijing¡¯s imperial army, which is enough to ensure that Xijing is not lost. "

    Lin Chong nodded and said: "What the prince said is that Wang Qing and Tian Hu are just a mob. If they attack the ordinary state capital under our rule in Daliang, they are still a threat. Attacking Xijing is overestimating our capabilities. Xijing City has high walls.  Thick, ten thousand elite soldiers, enough to ensure that the city is not lost."

    Chao Gai saw Chao Yong's confident face and said: "Okay, then the prince will lead the army to fight against the Liao Dynasty, and Lin Jiaotou will lead his troops to help Xijing and take over the defense of Xijing."

    Seeing that Chao Gai had issued an imperial edict, Wu Yong didn't know what to say, so he added: "Wang Qing and Tian Hu's troops are not far from Xijing. General Lin can lead his troops to prepare for the city defense overnight. The envoys sent by the two men  I will delay it for a few days and then expel them. By then Wang Qing and Tian Hu will send troops to attack Xijing, and General Lin should be fully prepared. "

    Chao Gai nodded and said, "The Prime Minister Zuo's plan is good. You can handle Wang Qing and Tian Hu's envoys."

    Chao Yong glanced at Huang Qianshan on the ground and said: "My son, please kill this person for treason and erect a monument to make it public. From now on, anyone who dares to speak out about using money to seek peace will be punished for treason. If my descendants of the Chao family  Anyone who dares to sign an alliance under the city will be expelled from the Chao family and everyone in the world will punish him."

    Huang Qianshan originally prayed that Chao Yong would forget about him, but when Chao Yong still refused to let him go, he couldn't help but beg for mercy: "The villain was confused for a moment, please spare the prince's life."

    Chao Gai was shocked by the second half of Chao Yong's sentence. This was undoubtedly a family motto.

    In the Song Dynasty, the Zhao family also had a family motto engraved on a stone tablet, but it was hidden in the Ancestral Temple. The people in the world only knew that the Zhao family had a family motto, but they did not know what the Zhao family's family motto was.  Only when each emperor ascended the throne was he allowed to go to the place where the stone tablet was stored to view and swear an oath.

    After Daliang took control of Tokyo, he moved the Zhao family¡¯s stele out, and everyone knew the content on the Zhao family¡¯s ancestral training stele:

    "It is not allowed to kill scholar-bureaucrats who write letters to express their opinions"

    "Any descendant of the Chai family will not be sentenced to an additional sentence if they are guilty. Even if they are guilty of serious crimes of treason, the whole clan cannot be implicated. They can only be sentenced to death in prison, and they are not allowed to be killed in the market."

    "Those who do not follow this instruction will not be protected by me!"

    "If what Chao Yong said is really made public, once future generations are forced to sign an alliance under the city, the people of the world will have a reason to rebel, which will undoubtedly be a great threat to the Chao family.

    Seeing Chao Gai's hesitation, Chao Yong said: "If my descendants of the Chao family really need to sign an alliance under the city to protect the country, then he is not worthy of being an emperor. Sooner or later, the country will perish. To linger will only bring more suffering to the people of the world. It is better to let  The heroes of the world compete earlier.

    On the other hand, making the family motto public can also allow the people of the world to supervise our descendants of the Chao family, lest they, like the descendants of the Zhao family, act recklessly because no one knows the ancestral precepts.  "

    Chao Gai is also a person who is free and knows that there is no eternal kingdom. Seeing that Chao Yong said so thoroughly, he nodded and said: "Okay, I will do what the prince said and let the world know that traitors will only die.  Not even the emperor can."

    "My father is wise, when a nation is accustomed to spending money to buy peace, then the nation is not far away from decline. I just want the Han people in the world to regain their lost blood. There are more than 10 million Han people, and the Khitan people,  There are only a few million Dangxiangs, Jurchens, and Mongols. As long as we, the Han people, have no intention of negotiating peace and everyone fights to the death, no nation can enslave us, the Han people.¡±

    The Khitans are the main ethnic group of the Liao Kingdom, the Dangxiang people are from the Xixia Kingdom, and the Jurchens are from the Jin Kingdom.  Most of the Mongolians don't know which ethnic group they are. A few knowledgeable people know that there are records of "Menggu" in the old Tang books, but they seem to be a small grassland tribe in the north and have not yet established a country.?How can it be compared with the previous three ethnic groups?

    Chao Gaiqi asked: "Who are the Mongols?"

    Seeing that Chao Yong had already spilled the beans, he simply pretended to be a magic stick again: "The Mongols are the tribes in Shangjing Road of the Liao Kingdom. If it weren't for me, Daliang, in a few decades, those tribes would be called Tiemu."  The real people unified, established the Mongolian Kingdom, and then wiped out the Jin Kingdom, Xixia, and Southern Song Dynasty, and established a huge empire. At that time, there were only 50 million Han people left. "

    Chao Gai exclaimed: "There are 50 million Han people left out of 10 million. Doesn't that mean we killed 50 million Han people?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Not that many. There have been wars all year round, and the people are in dire straits. Many people have died from famine, plague and other circumstances, but tens of millions of people have been massacred. The butchers are mainly Jin people and Mongolians, and some have died.  to the surrendered Han people.¡±

    Lin Chong and other people who had no doubts about Chao Yong¡¯s identity as a star descended to earth suddenly broke out in cold sweat when they heard what Chao Yong said so tragically.

    The officials who had just surrendered felt that Chao Yong was talking nonsense, and that even Mongolia had never heard of it. Even the massacre of tens of millions of people was really unbelievable.

    Zhao Mingcheng said in disbelief: "Are the Mongols more powerful than the Jin people? They were able to destroy the Jin, Xixia, and Southern Song Dynasties."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "I also asked people to inquire about the situation of the various tribes in Mongolia. The Mongols are indeed brave and good at fighting. Even when the Liao cavalry was at its peak, they could not unify the Mongolian grasslands. All the tribes in Mongolia are on horseback.  As a nation, the Liao State sent troops deep into the grasslands several times, but not only could they not annihilate or conquer the tribes in the grasslands, but they lost more than they won. Therefore, the Liao State could only dig trenches and build castles on the borders of the Mongolian grasslands to prevent the prairie cavalry from raiding, and strictly prohibited iron weapons.  They flowed into the Mongolian grasslands, but the Mongolian cavalry had no armor and could shoot with bone arrows. They were intimidated by the Liao cavalry. They needed to build trenches equivalent to the Great Wall of our Han people to resist the invasion of the Mongolian cavalry. You can imagine how good the Mongols were in fighting.  ? Even so, Mongolian tribes broke into the Liao Kingdom from time to time to plunder." (To be continued.
