As soon as the wheel of war rolls forward, it means the end of everything that has existed, and it also means a new beginning.

The history of human development is a history of war, whether it is national integration or regional compatibility, cultural and economic development, it is obvious that because of war, all this is prompting all this to make a new beginning in the end.

In the midst of such repeated repetitions, while pushing a nation to a more advanced level, it is natural to break with the old and establish the new. Obviously, the only way to break with the old and create the new and integrate all regions, cultures, and economies is war.

After the Jin relics were officials in the north, and the people of Xia were in the north, all of this was recovered and seized most of the territory of Jin and Xia in the north, how to make the two truly integrate with the people and the army of the Song Dynasty is a problem that Ye Qing must solve now.

Although Xia and Jin have returned to the Northland, even if they are now integrated in commerce and trade, it is obvious that all this is a superficial phenomenon with a deceptive nature, and it has not yet reached the high self-identity of everyone for the Song or Northland.

After all, it is a territory that is seized by means of war, and naturally there will be some estrangement between the people of the two places, and if you want to eliminate these estrangements, so that the people in the Jin and Xia territories now occupied by Ye Qing can completely integrate with the people of the Song Dynasty and have a high sense of self-identity, what Ye Qing can do is only to bind the people of Xia and the relics of Jin State to the chariot and share the hardships together.

War is obviously the lubricant for the complete integration of these territories, and only after living and dying together, whether it is the Beidi or the Xia, or the soldiers of the Liao people, can they achieve a thorough rapport in the unanimous foreign affairs, so as to form a sense of identity with each other as the same kind.

Just as the soldiers of the Liao people needed Yeluyue's approval, after Yeluyue agreed to follow Ye Qing on the expedition, the first thing that came to Ye Qing's mind was to pull the current Xia army into this chariot.

Human beings are social animals, and the trust and emotions between people are obviously based on commonality, and the understanding and trust of a person depends not only on what he does on weekdays, but also on whether the person can work with you.

And it's only after working together that people get to know each other better, and then decide whether this person is worth interacting with on your own.

The same is true for team cohesion, the success of a project will make everyone in the team feel closer and more trusting to each other in their hearts, which will inspire stronger cohesion.

Once the project fails, it almost means the failure of the entire team, and the team will fall apart or change the team.

Ye Qing wanted to make the occupied Xia, Liao and Beidi able to generate a cohesive force of common hatred and hatred in the war through another war against Jin, so as to accelerate the integration of each other's populations, so as to completely eliminate each other's attachment to their original identities and become a common and prosperous ethnic group.

Li An'an is the one who has been the emperor after all, although now I don't know if he has become a marquis of the Song Dynasty after being demoted a few levels, but no matter how his title changes, he still maintains an influence in the Xia Realm at this time that is difficult to ignore.

Use Li An'an's influence to let the Xia army, which was mixed into the Anxi Protectorate, fight for the Northland, so that finally through the war, in the various armies of the three major Protectorates, completely eliminate the regional and cultural barriers, and become a real whole that does not distinguish between you and me.

As the saying goes: "Sharp edge is produced in blunt stone, open fire is accumulated in dark wood, precious pearls are born of cheap mussels, and beautiful jade is born of ugliness." ”

Ye Qing naturally also wanted to temper the three major protectorates step by step through war, so as to eliminate all kinds of impurities, so as to get a more sophisticated army that could really compete with the Mongols.

Although he has not yet attacked the gold, after Ye Qing has decided to attack the gold, his eyes have already been cast farther away, that is, once he captures the sixteen states of Yanyun as he wishes, then the next opponent to face is the Mongols who come and go like the wind and are fierce in battle.

So at this time, he also had to forge a large army through war, and began to prepare for possible conflicts with the Mongols in the future.

Yelu Chucai's feeling for Ye Qing's desire to cut gold has become stronger and stronger day by day since he came to the Longcheng Barracks, and when every letter he sent to Ye Qing was in Ye Qing's hands, Yelu Chucai's heart was already filled with a deep sense of powerlessness, all of which had obviously been pushed by Ye Qing to the point of irreversibility.

Especially now, when Ye Qing made it clear to Li An'an, even Li An'an, who had always had a flattering smile on his face, guessed Ye Qing's intentions.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was deep-eyed, Li An'an unconsciously clenched his palms, only to find that his palms were already full of sweat, and he stammered a little: "The lower officials are willing...... The lower officials are willing to ...... Willing to follow the adults...... Going out together, as long as you give an order, the lower officials will definitely go to the soup and fire ....... ”

"Not necessarily, if that is the day, how can I let you go to the battlefield yourself?" Ye Qing smiled casually with the teacup, and then after thinking for a while, he continued: "Since Xingqinghou is willing, then you might as well discuss with Liu Keshi and Li Heng to see which army they are willing to send from Anxi." ”

Li An'an's thin lips were tightly closed, a pair of triangular eyes were spinning around, and his mind was quickly thinking about what Ye Qing's words meant.

Obviously, if Ye Qing wants to fight, then it is naturally up to him Ye Qing to transfer the troops of the three major protectorates, and he will dispatch whichever one he wants, and he will still need to solicit it

Liu Keshi and Li Heng's suggestion?

The entire northern land is now his, so Ye Qing asked himself, and then asked himself to discuss with Li Heng and Liu Keshi which army to send to lead him, what he wanted to .......

Li An'an's pupils suddenly constricted, the sweat in his palms instantly became more, and even cold sweat began to break out on his forehead: Ye Qing let himself lead his troops to fight with him, and he also let himself take the initiative to find Liu Keshi and Li Heng to ask for troops, so what if Li Heng and Liu Keshi didn't give themselves soldiers?

"Your Excellency...... My lord, as soon as you give an order, I think Liu Duhu and Li Duhu will send a large army to the lower officials, but if they are lower officials...... The words of the lower officials and the two protectors ....... Li An'an's expression was full of embarrassment, he felt as if Ye Qing had dug a big hole for him, and he jumped into it unconsciously.

Yelu Chucai, who was silent on the side, scolded Ye Qing for being despicable in his heart, because at this time, he finally figured out why when he was eating just now, Ye Qing said that he wanted to see how many troops he could bring to the people he saw for a while.

Ye Qing didn't plan to transfer troops from the Anxi Protectorate to Li An'an at all, and now he wants Li An'an to lead his troops to fight with him, so he can't throw Li An'an to the battlefield like a pawn to die, right?

Therefore, Ye Qing's meaning was obviously to fight the idea of the people of Xia Kingdom, or .......

Yelu Chucai's mind was quickly thinking, whether Ye Qing's move was to kill Li An'an, or whether he had other purposes, when he inadvertently glanced at Li An'an's evasive and uneasy gaze, his heart was instantly shocked, and he seemed to understand why Ye Qing was doing this.

Biting his lip gently, Yelu Chucai once again couldn't resist the urge to verify his guess, looked at Li An'an and said slowly: "Xingqinghou, this is the last chance that Lord Ye gave you, if you don't grasp it, I'm afraid you will only be able to ...... in the future." ”

Yelu Chucai's words became slower and slower, and Li An'an's triangular eyes became more uneasy and frightened as he spoke, which further confirmed Yelu Chucai's speculation about Li An'an, and immediately continued: "After this village, there is no ...... this shop." ”

"Lord Ye, the lower official ......." Xingqinghou didn't wait for Yelu Chucai to finish speaking, and immediately looked at Ye Qing, who was still easy-going and smiling, as if asking for help, and said hurriedly: "Xiaguan really doesn't mean anything else, those people ...... Those people were found by themselves, and the lower officials really didn't mean to go against Lord Ye, and they really didn't think about returning to the country, they just wanted to do their ....... ”

"Really?" Ye Qing smiled very casually, but at this moment, in Li An'an's eyes, it was full of eerie horror.

He didn't deal with Ye Qing once or twice, before he usurped the throne, he already knew Ye Qing's personality, so at this moment, when he knew that his secret was no longer a secret, the whole person instantly had a deep sense of fear after being evacuated, and he was afraid that if Ye Qing gave an order, someone would immediately rush into this tea room and tie himself up.

"It's true, it was the Mongols who wanted to trick Xiaguan into restoring the country, but Xiaguan didn't mean it, but they ......." Li An'an was frightened, so he simply said it all in one go.

The shock in Yelu Chucai's heart at this time was incomprehensible, he originally just guessed that this Li An'an secretly did something in Xingqing Mansion to restore the country, and he didn't expect that behind this, there were still Mongols at work.

Of course, what surprised him even more was how did Ye Qing know all this? And how did Ye Qing do it, after learning all this, he was able to behave so calmly.

"How many are there today?" Ye Qing asked lightly.

Facing Ye Qing's question, Li An'an swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in a little fright, looked at Ye Qing with a pair of triangular eyes, and muttered, "No...... Less than 20,000 people, all in the Helan Valley. ”?“ Will they listen to you? Are there Mongols among them? Ye Qing continued to ask.

Yelu Chucai continued to be silent, looking at Li An'an, who had completely collapsed and had no master of the six gods, and stammered to answer Ye Qing's question.

The Liao people chased after the Mongols on the steppe, which was enough to make the Mongols feel a little difficult to deal with, after all, they all grew up on horseback, and they were also erratic, coming and going like the wind, so if they wanted to control the various herdsmen on the Mongolian steppe in a very short period of time, it must take a lot of energy from the Mongols to deal with it.

What's more, there are Xingqing Mansion and Xiping Mansion on the side, and the Mongols have to be on guard, because the Song people are entangled in the grassland and the Gobi because of the remnants of the Liao people, and they sacrifice Li An'an's killer weapon to cause them chaos.

And Li An'an is obviously not a lord who is willing to be the monarch of the dead country, although he is very closely watched by Liu Keshi in Xingqing Mansion, but in the past two years, he still has the opportunity to contact many outsiders.

It is precisely because of this that he hit it off with the Mongols, and wanted to restore the country with the promise given to him by the Mongols, and he was addicted to the emperor again.

When he was in Jinan, Ye Qing had already learned from Mu Huali and Borshu after they were drunk that even if Temujin had become the overlord of the grassland, after the first battle of Liao, he still caused dissatisfaction among other tribes in the distribution of plundered wealth.

The Liao and Xia tribes who submitted to the Mongols were obviously treated far less well in Mongolia than those who were dissatisfied with Temujin, so in order to balance and appease the dissatisfied tribes, and because of the pressure brought to them by the Song occupation of Xingqing Mansion, the Mongols also had to relax their control over the tribes that occupied the territory of the Xia State, and even did not hesitate to follow the example of the Song people, treating the Jin people as opponents to contain them, so as to obtain Li An in private

Quan's connection, hoping to create chaos and conflict for the Song people in Xingqing Province, so that the Song people could not focus all their attention on the Jin State, or their Mongols.

In short, in the eyes of the Mongols, the Jin people who had formed an alliance with the Song people were like Ye Qing's puppets, so they also needed to support such a puppet to make Ye Qing uneasy and had to guard against threats from Li An'an, so as to continue to quell the remnants of the Liao rebellion and continue the eastward crusade to eliminate hidden dangers that might come from the Song people.

Watching Li An'an, who was like a lost dog, leave the tea room in a hurry, Yelu Chucai asked with some concern: "If you let him go like this, aren't you afraid that he won't come back after he leaves?" ”

"Li An'an regards his life as more important than the restoration of the country, and he has a scale in his heart, which is not what I am worried about. The only thing I'm worried about now is ....... Ye Qing said thoughtfully with the teacup on his lips.

"Are you worried about making the Mongols wary of this? With the Li An'an incident, once the Mongols detect it, they will inevitably be more vigilant to guard against you? Yelu Chucai asked.

In Yelu Chucai's view, the current situation can be described as quite complicated, the Mongols and the Song people are very strong, and they are also using the weak such as Jin, and the remnants of Xia to do more schemes, all in order to be able to form an effective containment of each other.

To put it bluntly, Ye Qing has not yet attacked gold, and when his eyes are on the Mongols, the Mongols also focused on Ye Qing after connecting with Yelu Liuge and Yelu Gobu.

The entire territory of Beidi, Xia, Liao, Jin, and Mongolia is like a chessboard, and now Ye Qing and Temujin are like chess players, and the remnants of Jin, Khitan, Liao, and even Jin are like chess pieces, allowing them to fiddle.

Although now, Ye Qing still doesn't know exactly how far the Wujing Road of the Jin Kingdom has developed, but from Li An'an, he can faintly peek out that the Mongols and Khitan Liao people are obviously not standing still on the Wujing Road.

"What would happen to you if Jeruliuge and Jeruliubu were really anti-gold? Will it be on my side then? Ye Qing looked at Yelu Chucai and asked.

"What do they have to do with me?" Yelu Chucai twisted his body a little uncomfortably and asked rhetorically, and there was a burst of uneasiness in his heart.

Wei Shao Wang Wanyan Yongji's policy of two households and one household was finally implemented, although I don't know how the Khitan Liao people will react because of this, but Yelu Chucai can still vaguely judge from the series of things that Ye Qing is starting now, and the Khitan Liao people at this time are probably really as Ye Qing speculated with him at the beginning, and they are going to start anti-Jin.

"Aren't you the Khitan Liao people of the Jin Kingdom?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Yelu Chucai's heart involuntarily began to sink, and his expression became much more solemn, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly: "You mean, once Yelu Liuge and Yelu are reversed, then the imperial court will be ...... to the Khitan Liao people Will they be treated equally? ”

"It's not clear whether they will be treated equally, but at least if you return to Yanjing, it's hard to say whether they will trust you." Ye Qing said lightly, then got up and patted Yelu Chucai's shoulder, and said, "Don't think about it, I don't know what the situation of Jin Guo is now, but I know it...... All this is developing towards a situation that you don't want to see, once the Yeluliuge brothers rise up and raise the banner of anti-Jin, your family in Yanjing will inevitably be implicated, even if the court will not move them, but won't the courtiers attack the Khitan Liao people because of this? ”

"And what do you think they'll do?" Yelu Chucai got up and followed Ye Qing downstairs.

"Will the Wanyan royal family take the way of killing chickens and monkeys under the pressure of the ministers?" Ye Qing turned his head to look at Yelu Chucai and further explained: "Once Yelu Liuge and Yelu Gobu rebel, will the imperial court kill a few prestigious Khitan Liao people in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and deter other Khitan Liao people to set an example?" Don't forget, I know Wan Yan Jing better than you, my ears have always been soft, although I didn't listen to our reminder this time, it doesn't mean that he has his own opinions, in my opinion, the reason why this is so is because he believes in his imperial uncle Wan Yan Yongji more, rather than me, the nominal gentleman. ”

"Didn't you remind him that you wanted him to do so? Isn't it just to exacerbate his decision to implement, the strategy of two households plus one household proposed by King Wei Shao to balance the Khitan Liao? Yelu Chucai's voice instantly became a little colder.

At the beginning, he really thought that Ye Qing was kind, because after the alliance between the two countries, he was really thinking about the stability of the Jin Kingdom, but now it seems that Ye Qing is simply despicable and shameless to the extent that people and gods are angry.

It was precisely because he took advantage of Wan Yan Jing to get rid of the influence of Ye Qing who was under him, so he deliberately said that this reminder was so sincere, so that Wan Yan Jing couldn't help but feel rebellious, or he felt that Ye Qing's move was uneasy and kind, or had other intentions, in short, Ye Qing's sincere reminder that he deceived him Yelu Chucai, but he got everything he Ye Qing wanted, that is, watching the Jin Kingdom begin to gradually move towards infighting, thus providing him with a rare opportunity to continue to attack Jin.

Ye Qing grasped all these changes, and thus did every step he had already thought of step by step, and now it was obvious that the wheel of war had slowly started under Ye Qing's insidiousness, and cutting gold had become his next goal.

Yelu Chucai had to face a reality, once Yelu Liuge rebelled against Yelu Wubu, then what should he do next? What about Yanjing's family? Could it really be as Ye Qing said, becoming an innocent victim of Yeluliuge's rebellion.
