1112 King Wei Shao's faint move
When Ye Qing learned that Chang'an's two of his own ladies had once again made their own decisions, Yeluyue had already led the army to Xiping Mansion, where the Anxi Protectorate was located, and Li Heng and Liu Lan'er went out of the city for five miles to greet Yeluyue and the 5,000 troops behind him.
Although Yeluyue is just a woman, after the death of the country, she is already quite mature politically, so the 5,000 army behind her, this way, did not cause any panic at all, the reason why it is so is completely because the 5,000 army is a mixture of the Liao and Song armies.
Ye Qing from Jinan Mansion shook his head helplessly, Zhong Qing, who was sitting next to him, picked up the letter, and after reading it, he was just silent, Yelu Chucai was like a pillar, pestle next to Ye Qing, still maintaining his arrogant posture.
However, during this period of time, Yelu Chucai's arrogant posture was more like a final struggle, and the initial heartfelt pride on his body had been completely damaged by Ye Qing at this time.
"The first day is coming, are you going to ...... What to do? Zhong Qing finally couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, Lan'er also sent a letter, even if there are still remnants outside Xiping Mansion now, I'm afraid there aren't many left, and...... The attention of the Mongols is no longer in the Liao State, such an annoying small resistance, there is no threat to the Mongols, and if the Mongols want to conquer Khorezm, they must let the destroyed Liao State be able to completely submit to them, so I estimate that the Mongols will still work the royal nobles left behind in the Liao State, only these people surrender, and the other people will naturally not be much of a threat. What's more, not all Liao people are hard-boned, isn't that the case next to him. Ye Qing said that in the end, he didn't forget to tease Yelu Chucai, who pretended to be arrogant.
The surname of Yelu Chucai is naturally the surname of the Liao royal family, but because after the Jin State attacked Liao, some Liao nobles were forced to stay in the Jin State, after all, it was also where their ancestors lived, and it was just a branch of the royal family that was forced to leave and then establish the Western Liao regime in the Western Regions.
But although Yelu Chucai and the other clans have been separated from the Western Liao Kingdom for many years, they are no longer real Liao people, but now when they hear Ye Qing teasing their Liao people with the surname Yelu like this, they are still somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts.
However, he was accustomed to being hit by Ye Qing's words these days, so he just snorted arrogantly and did not express his dissatisfaction to Ye Qing again.
Zhong Qing glanced at Ye Qing, no matter what kind of person the person with the surname Yelu was in the Jin Kingdom now, but Ye Qing should not speak like this in front of Yelu Chucai.
"Aren't you worried about Yeluyue?" Zhong Qing asked with some concern.
However, Zhong Qing's worry was not that he was worried about Yeluyue's safety after going to Xiping Mansion, after all, with Li Heng and others, as long as it was in the current Northland, then Yeluyue's safety could be guaranteed.
Therefore, Zhong Qing's worry is because those Liao people who have always insisted on refusing to submit to the Mongols will ask or coerce Yeluyue to return to the country after meeting with Yeluyue.
After all, in this way, it is not necessarily a good thing for Ye Qing, who wants to be stable in the north for a few years, not to mention that Ye Qing now does not want to have a real conflict with the Mongols.
Ye Qing didn't answer Zhong Qing's words, but instead glanced at Yelu Chucai who was pestle next to him, and said lightly: "Idiot, if you were Temujin or an official of Mongolia now, what would you do?" ”
"Although Chu is talented, Jin is practical." Yelu Chucai reflexively retorted, and then glanced at Ye Qing with disdain, and after thinking for a while, he said, "But your guess is good, I think so too." If I were Temujin, I would have won over the Liao nobles, and as long as they submitted, the rest would no longer be a problem, and I could even use the hands of the Liao nobles to help the Mongols pacify the unyielding people, soldiers, etc., which was much easier than sending troops to suppress them themselves. ”
"Anything else?" Ye Qing continued to ask.
Zhong Qing watched quietly with some unknown reasons beside him, originally just discussing Zhong Qing's matter, but for some reason, Ye Qing pulled the topic to the Mongols and Jin people again.
Although she didn't know the reason why Ye Qing asked Yelu Chucai this, her intuition told her that Ye Qing must have his reason for asking Yelu Chucai like this.
"No, that's all." Yelu Chucai replied easily.
"I'm still young, and I'm still not thoughtful enough, and in the same way, it's too simple to think about the Mongols." Ye Qing shook his head and said with a sigh.
Yelu Chucai was stunned, feeling that what he just said did not have any omissions, and in the same way, it was indeed the best way for the Mongols to completely pacify the Liao State at the moment, why did he become immature when he came to Ye Qing?
Obviously looking at Ye Qing with some dissatisfaction, after thinking for a while, he asked unconvinced: "Then you should tell me, if you were a Mongolian, what would you do?" ”
Zhong Qing also looked at Ye Qing intently, and she also wanted to know what unique insights Ye Qing could come up with on the matter of the Mongols pacifying the Liao State and a small rebellion.
Looking at Zhong Qing's inquisitive gaze, and then at the stupid ear that was secretly pricked up, Lord Ye sighed before he said leisurely: "You guys, it's still too one-sided to think about things, didn't I already say just now, the attention of the Mongols will no longer be on the people who rebelled against the Liao State...... ”
"That's right, so the Mongols focused on the royal nobles of the Liao State, hoping to take this opportunity to be judged by the remaining royal nobles, is it wrong?" Yelu Chucai continued to ask.
"How did Jin Guo surrender you back then?" Ye Qingshi asked Yelu Chucai in shock.
No matter how the Jin people treat their remaining Liao royal family, and no matter how harmonious they are with the Jin people in today's Jin court, this is a secretive question, after all, it involves the pain points of all the people who surrendered to the Jin State like Yelu Chucai.
"What do you mean?" Yelu Chucai's face instantly became gloomy, and even Zhong Qing next to him seemed to be able to feel that Yelu Chucai, who had been acting carelessly at this moment, seemed to be really angry.
"My meaning is very simple, the Mongols may win over the Liao royal family of the Jin State, such as ...... Some military generals who held power and had the surname Yelu in their hands. Ye Qing didn't care about Yelu Chucai's gloomy look, and still said casually.
Yelu Chucai's slitted eyes, like a wolf, looked at Ye Qing vigilantly and gloomily, and said coldly: "Lord Ye, do you think that our people will betray the Jin Kingdom?" ”
"Have you ever heard a sentence that says that the East is not bright and the West is bright? Now that the Western Liao, which was driven to the Western Regions by the Jin State, has perished, will the royal nobles of the Liao State who submitted to the Jin State in the east ...... What about establishing a regime with Liao as the name of the country again? Ye Qing asked lightly.
"This has nothing to do with the fact that the Western Liao has been destroyed and the Mongols need to be pacified." Yelu Chucai was somewhat aware of what Ye Qing wanted to say, but he didn't believe it very much, Ye Qing's guess was really that accurate.
"There are now only two forces in the Western Liao Kingdom that rebelled against the Mongols, one named Zalandin, who has now fled to Khorezm, and intends to follow the example of Yelu Dashi, the founding emperor of the Western Liao Kingdom, and re-establish the Liao State. The other is called Eight Thorn Black, and now he is chasing the Mongols on the grassland, and Yelu Yue, the princess of Chengli of the Liao State, went to Xiping Mansion to meet the Eight Thorn Black, a group of less than 10,000 people of the Liao State. Therefore, the attention of the Mongols is no longer on the Western Liao Kingdom, not to mention that now that I have formed an alliance with your country, and refused to form an alliance with their Mongols, their attention must be to prevent us from making any changes. Again, if you were a Mongol, what would you do? Ye Qing continued to ask at the end.
"The Mongols assassinated you a few days ago, this was their first step, and then ...... When they return to Mongolia, they will inevitably find ways to weaken our alliance, and if they can't, they will win over ....... Yelu Chucai looked at Ye Qing with some surprise.
"The Mongols were keen to see Zalandin seek refuge in Khorezm, so that they had a good excuse to go to Khorezm after they had completely quelled the discontent of the Liao and several small tribes within it. And in order to do this, it is natural to have a stable situation in the rear where Song and Jin are neighbors, otherwise, if they attack Khorezm, Song and Jin sneak attack from behind, wouldn't it make the Mongols lose more than they gain? Ye Qing tilted his head slightly, looked at Yelu Chucai with a solemn face and said.
Yelu Chucai pondered Ye Qing's words, looked at Ye Qing who was just looking at him quietly from time to time, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly said, "Brother Yelu Liu? ”
"Look at this, this is the strategy that King Wei Shao implemented after returning to Yanjing." Ye Qing handed another letter that had been placed on the table to Yelu Chucai, who was shocked.
Because of Ye Qing's assassination in Jinan, King Wei Shao, who returned to Yanjing, realized how the Mongols would react to Jin after the alliance between Jin and Song, especially when Ye Qing had to leave Yelu Chucai, which made him have to worry about whether Ye Qing's move would be deliberately wooing the Liao people of Jin.
And since Ye Qing can think of doing this, will the Mongols do the same? When the Jin and Song Dynasty had already formed an alliance, would they secretly win over the Liao people of their Great Jin State in order to divide and weaken the strength of their Jin State, or let them be in the midst of internal strife and unable to pose a threat to their Mongols?
It was precisely because of such concerns that King Wei Shao, after inviting the emperor to finish Yan Jing, began to supervise and contain the Liao people in the so-called Wujing Road, the base camp of their Jin State in the north.
After the first day, Jin Guo will start to implement the policy of two households plus one household on Wujing Road, wherever there are Liao people who live.
Looking at Zhong Qing's puzzled gaze, Ye Qing explained: "The so-called policy of two households plus one household is that since the Yuan Dynasty, the Jin people will implement two Jurchen households and one Khitan family between the Liao people, that is, the Khitan people, so as to prevent the Khitans from rebelling and posing a threat to their Jin country." ”
"This is impossible, how could King Wei Shao do this? Doesn't he know that once this is implemented, it will cause us to be dissatisfied? Especially Jeruliugo! ”
Yelu Chucai once again mentioned Yelu Liuge, which is enough to prove that this person, whether in the Jin State or in the hearts of the Liao people, has an important influence, and obviously, he is also a powerful Jin State courtier.
"I don't know if Jeruliugo will be dissatisfied, but ...... It is said that the Mongols are already fighting this idea of Yeluliuge, and now your emperor Wanyan Jing still does not know ...... it. Ye Qing still said leisurely.
"I don't even know about the Golden Sage, how do you know?" Yelu Chucai seized the loophole in Ye Qing's words and asked with a frown.
"Or do you guess?" Regarding this matter, Ye Qing really didn't bother to explain, now that Dong Chao is in the Jin Kingdom, he has become the biggest intelligence leader in the Jin Kingdom, not only can he provide the information he needs in the Northland, but he can sell some information that is not important to the Northland, but important to the Jin people, through various channels.
Under Ye Qing's instructions, Dong Chao had begun to quietly spread the news in Yanjing, but Wan Yan Jing and Wan Yan Yongji didn't think so, and they were still inclined to Wan Yan Yongji's strategy of two households plus one household, rather than relaxing or summoning Yelu Liuge from Shangjing Road to Yanjing.
"Are you uneasy and kind, and want to use my mouth to spread false news, and then seek something beneficial to you?" Yelu Chucai asked vigilantly.
"Believe it or not, if Wan Yan Jing rebelled against Brother Yelu Liu, who was really forced by Wan Yan Yongji, don't blame me for not reminding you." Ye Qing felt a little regretful in his heart, of course, when the Mongols had begun to quietly contact Yeluliuge, he also thought about cutting off Hu from it, but there was a difference of 108,000 miles between Beidi and Yeluliuge, and there was a whole Jin country in between, so naturally it was not like the Mongols, and it was just separated from the Jin country by a great Xing'an Mountains.
Ye Qing's ambition is very big, although the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are his ultimate goal, but if he can let the Jin State maintain control of the Wujing Road further north before taking the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, then when he captures the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, although he will also encounter the sworn resistance of the Jin people.
But because of the existence of Wujing Road, leaving a back road for the Jin people, so when attacking the sixteen states of Yanyun, it is obvious that the Jin people will not be forced to the situation of death and rebirth, so that in the case of a back road that can be retreated, then the resistance of the Jin soldiers will not be as resolute as there is no back road.
The Mongols will want to win over the Khitan Liao people of the Jin Kingdom, but the Jin people are forcing the Khitan Liao people to resist due to dissatisfaction with the policy of two households plus one household, which is naturally of no benefit to Ye Qing, so he must use Yelu Chucai or Dong Chao to make Wanyan Jing realize that the strategy of Wanyan Yongji, King of Wei Shao, is absolutely undesirable.
But now Wan Yanjing, whether he will listen to his advice as before is now unknown.
The strategy of the Jin State for the Khitan Liao people, just like the blocking and dredging of the anti-dam, the blockade may be able to solve the urgent need for a while, but it is not a long-term strategy after all, once the backlog of dissatisfaction is getting higher and higher, in the end it will inevitably become a flood beast, drowning the entire Dajin State.
Dredging is obviously the most ideal strategy, which can make the Khitan Liao people return to the original situation of peaceful coexistence with the Jin people, and the two will be at peace, and still let the Khitan Liao people enjoy the same treatment as the Jin people in the Jin country, so as to be in the same breath.
Liao is like a small strong country that cannot be defeated, although it has rushed by like a glimpse in history, but when it is in the current era, it can still feel the tenacious vitality of the Liao people.
The Liao Dynasty had both the Great Liao Empire at its peak, the Northern Liao and Western Liao when it was weakened, and the Eastern Liao that was dependent on the Mongols for a long time, and even a Later Liao.
The dynasty with Liao as the name of the country also lasted for 300 years intermittently in this historical period, and for the Mongols to establish the Yuan, it played an extremely important role in it.
Yelu Liuge is one of the most important creators, because he was dissatisfied with Wanyan Yongji's policy of two households and one household, and then took advantage of the Wujing defenders to move defense, and began to oppose Jin on Shangjing Road, thus attaching himself to the Mongols and becoming the vanguard army of the Mongols attacking Jin.
Ye Qing picked up everything he could say and told Yelu Chucai, although this was a bit alarmist for Yelu Chucai or Zhong Qing, but ...... This is exactly the vision that Ye Qing has that is different from ordinary people.
It is precisely because of his foresight that he has always been able to anticipate things like a god, so that he has always been able to be invincible in the Northland by relying on this powerful cheating method.
Yelu Chucai, who was suspicious, looked at Ye Qing, and asked after a long time: "You keep me in Jinan, and you are by your side, you also want to win me over?" ”
Yelu Chucai has never figured out why Ye Qing wants to take him as a hostage to guarantee his alliance with the Jin State, but at this moment, he more or less understands Ye Qing's intentions, but he doesn't feel that he has enough strength and talent for Ye Qing to win over.
"It's a woo, and it's to protect you." Ye Qing looked at Yelu Chucai's somewhat dazed expression, and continued: "The two Yelu Liuge brothers are far away in Shangjing, if they rebel, Wan Yanjing will inevitably guard against the Khitan Liao people in Yanjing, and you Yelu Chucai and other Khitan people in Yanjing are the first targets of punishment, the first step of the imperial court to deal with the rebellion will inevitably use you to kill chickens and monkeys, and deter the Khitan Liao people on Shangjing Road and other four roads, so you have to thank me." ”
Yelu Chucai shook his head solemnly, for a while, he didn't believe what Ye Qing said, and similarly, some of Ye Qing's prophecies he still needed to digest and sort out, and only after sorting out a clue could he make a judgment.
"After the Yuan Dynasty, follow me to Chang'an, so ...... Time is running out for you. Ye Qing got up and patted Yelu Chucai's shoulder, signaling that he could go out.
Watching the somewhat lost Yelu Chucai leave, Zhong Qing looked at Ye Qing, and also said with some suspicion: "You won't be scaring him, right, or will the one named Yelu Liuge really rebel because of King Wei Shao's strategy of two households and one household?" ”
"Rebellion is inevitable, it's just ...... I don't know when it will be, but no matter what, we need to prevent the Mongols from contacting them as much as possible, and try to delay Yeluliugo's rebellion to buy us time. Wanyan Yongji's faint trick...... Not only did it make me feel that time was running out again, but it would also be a sign of the fall of the country! Ye Qing unconsciously clenched his fists, and then time really waits for no one, so he can only hope that after going to Chang'an, he can delay the Mongols from bewitching Yelu Liuge to rebel through some conflicts with the Mongols.
Ye Qing, who originally thought that there would be no conflict with the Mongols in a short time, now had to prepare for a conflict with the Mongols on his own initiative.
