Text Chapter 358 The Liao Kingdom seeks peace

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Pharmacist Guo conveyed the news that the Emperor of Liao promised to pay the ransom, Chao Yong asked Liao to build a pontoon bridge.

    After Yelu Dashi built three pontoon bridges, he also left a lot of preparation materials to prepare for the Liang Kingdom's soldiers and horses to destroy the pontoon bridges and then quickly build the pontoon bridges.

    Therefore, after Chao Yong agreed to build a pontoon bridge to the Liao Kingdom, Liao craftsmen quickly built two new pontoon bridges next to the broken pontoon bridge.

    The Liao soldiers drove their horses across the river, and Dong Ping's cavalry drove their horses toward the camp behind.

    The generals in Daliang watched Shenjun's horses crossing the river continuously, their eyes lit up.  Although after capturing Tokyo, Daliang also captured more than 10,000 war horses from the Song Dynasty. However, because these war horses had been in a state of ease for a long time, like the Song Dynasty's imperial army that had not been in battle for a long time, they had to be trained before going to the battlefield.  However, the war horses of the Liao Kingdom were fat and strong, and could be used as war horses directly.

    Yelu Dashi watched his horses keep crossing the river, but his heart bleeds. He really can't steal the chicken but lose the rice.  In the past, Liang Guo paid a large sum of money, but he was not willing to sell war horses to Liang Guo in such large quantities, but now Liang Guo had no money to pay, but he got so many war horses.

    In time, the Liang Kingdom will be able to train a pure cavalry force. Coupled with the earth-shattering firearms, the Liao Kingdom will probably be even less able to fight back.

    Soon, a thousand war horses crossed the river, and the Liao Kingdom also stopped to drive the horses away.

    Chao Yong smiled at Yelu Dashi and said, "Lin Ya can cross the river first."

    Yelu Dashi turned to Wu Yanguang and said, "General, please cross the river first. I am an old acquaintance of the Prince of Liang, and we need to discuss some border matters."

    Wu Yanguang did not want to be the first to cross the river, so he shook his head and said, "Let the soldiers cross the river first."

    When Yelu Dashi heard this, he also said to Chao Yong: "Then please ask the prince to let five hundred people cross the river."

    Chao Yong turned to Lu Junyi and said, "Let all the Liao soldiers cross the river. Let them move quickly and don't delay our lunch."

    Li Kui stared at the bull's eye and shouted: "Didn't we agree that the Liao Kingdom would send a thousand war horses, and we would let 500 people go? Let them all go, what if they don't send the war horses?"

    Yan Qing said: "What the Liao Kingdom wants are these generals. As long as they are here, the Liao Kingdom will not be afraid of defaulting on their debts."

    Hearing what Yan Qing said, Li Kui was satisfied and helped Lu Junyi drive away the Liao soldiers.

    "Run quickly. If you are slow, be careful and you will get a big blow from grandpa."

    Under Li Kui¡¯s fists and kicks, the captured Liao soldiers all ran to the other side.

    Chao Yong looked at Yelu Dashi and smiled: "I wonder what else Lin Ya wants to talk to me about?"

    Yelu Dashi shook his head and said: "I received detailed news earlier, saying that a new firearm appeared in Liang State, which was very powerful. But I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It was so big that one explosion would cause our southward expedition to fail. The situation in the Central Plains, our Liao Dynasty  The country also knows that with such weapons and a wise leader like the prince, Daliang will definitely be able to unify the world. However, if you and I don't sign an alliance, I'm afraid the prince will have to leave a large army in Hebei to prevent us from going south, and we will not be able to unify the world.  It will be a lot slower, so I suggest that our two countries sign an alliance not to attack each other. In this way, you can mobilize your troops to go south or west, and we can also mobilize our troops to the north to concentrate on dealing with the Jin Kingdom.  ¡±

    Chao Yong, however, was not flattered by Yelu Dashi and said with a smile: "After signing a covenant, there is no guarantee that you will not go south. Didn't we have a covenant before? You just went south as soon as you said you would go south. So regardless of whether there is a covenant or not,  I will leave 20,000 people to garrison in Hebei. If you dare to take advantage of the situation, I will welcome it, haha."

    Yelu Dashi naturally knew that no matter what, the Liao Kingdom would not go south again in the short term. After all, the northern line of the Liao Kingdom was tight, and this time he went south just to see if there were any bargains to be found.  Unexpectedly, Liang Guo was not the soft persimmon they imagined. In one battle, they suffered a bloody blow.

    Yelu Dashi also knew that with Yelu Yanxi¡¯s temperament, he would never take the risk and continue to lead his troops southward, nor would he let the Liao generals lead their troops southward.  Otherwise, if the Liao general wins, wouldn't it prove his cowardice and incompetence.

    The Liao State could only watch the Liang State unify the Central Plains, and with the strength of the Liang State, it was very likely to establish another dynasty in the Central Plains.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT??  The Liao Kingdom took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation. Although they were beaten back just after they sent out troops, it would probably become an excuse for the Liang Kingdom to go north in the future.

    The Liao Kingdom now only has Xijing, Nanjing, and Zhongjing left. Xijing and Nanjing are the boundaries of the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. If Daliang is allowed to recapture the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, the Liao Kingdom will only have Zhongjing left. Not to mention the offensive of the Jin Kingdom.  Come to think of it, it is hard to say whether the Liao Kingdom will still have conquered Kyoto by then.

    So Yelu Dashi wanted to sign a treaty with Liang GuoThe agreement was made to prevent the Liang Kingdom from going north to attack the Liao Kingdom in the future, or even joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Kingdom like the Song Dynasty.

    Yelv Dashi saw Chao Yong looking convinced of him, and said helplessly: "Our country has been established for more than two hundred years, and has been allied with the Central Plains for more than a hundred years. The two countries have always been friendly. If the prince does not form an alliance with our country, our country will have to  Deploy heavy troops to defend the border, and the northern front will inevitably be tight. If the Jin Kingdom is allowed to attack here, I am afraid that your country will also be affected by the war. The alliance will be beneficial to both you and me. I hope the prince will agree. "

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Lin Ya Dashi is afraid that I will settle accounts in the future. I won't hide it from you. Now there are Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Tong Guan in the Central Plains, and there is an invasion of Xixia in the northwest. I don't have the energy to go north in a short time, so you  Don¡¯t worry, just concentrate on fighting against the Kingdom of Jin.¡±

    Yelu Dashi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "After the two countries sign an alliance, our country can sell you war horses."

    Although the Liao State has always strictly prohibited the flow of war horses into the Central Plains, they had previously sold them to Liangshan in small quantities, allowing Liangshan to contain the Song Dynasty.  Even if Liangshan accepted the invitation, the Song Dynasty's addition of several thousand cavalry would not be enough to affect the balance between the two countries.

    But after Liangshan captured Tokyo, Liao immediately stopped selling horses to Liang.  They just wanted Liangshan to contain the Song Dynasty to prevent the Song Dynasty from uniting with the Jin Kingdom to attack them. Unexpectedly, Liangshan destroyed the Song Dynasty, showing its strong military strength.  Naturally, they would no longer sell war horses to Liang Guo, and they would not let the Han people form a powerful cavalry again.

    Yelu Dashi just wanted to use the war horses as bait to get the two countries to sign an alliance first, and then find ways to delay the sale of the war horses, or sell fewer war horses.

    Chao Yong didn¡¯t hesitate at all and shook his head directly: ¡°I can¡¯t afford it.¡±

    Seeing that the abacus failed, Yelu Dashi was unwilling to give up. After thinking about it, he added: "There are quite a few beautiful princesses in our royal family. If the prince does not give up, I can ask the emperor to marry the prince. You and I will become the couple of Qin and Jin Dynasties."  Okay, how about it?¡±

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Daliang is not getting married." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
