Is Yelu Dashi's true character so frank?

As the only Khitan Jinshi in the 200 years since the founding of the Khitan state, Yelu Dashi, who is proficient in Han culture, will not be so confessed and frank no matter how bold his personality is.

But now that's the way he acts.

Xiao Lili immediately had a score in his heart.

Yelu Dashi was obviously willing to fight with the Song people. Maybe Brother Richard confessed like this at the beginning of today, it may be that he and Yelu Dashi have secretly communicated with each other.

"What King Xia said is extremely true. The emperor's name is just a false name, and it is the real profit to turn the Song people into jade silk. The western front of our army has already touched the Khazar Sea (Caspian Sea), and the Sykpchaks are vulnerable again, and it is easy to take them to the west. As long as we can make a truce with the Song people, our army will no longer have to worry about the future. ”

Xiao Lira never thought of returning to his hometown one day.

The current Western Liao is very different from the Western Liao in history, which has never forgotten the Eastern Crusade, and its upper and lower people have already died of their hearts about killing and returning to their hometown. Zhao Song's strength and invincibility have established a mountain in their hearts that cannot see the peak.

In this way, survival continues, and the preservation of the Khitan (party) clan has become everyone's greatest wish.

And for the sake of safety, it's really not a good thing to be too close to the Song people. It's better to hide as far as you want. The strategy to the west is a common aspiration of all!

However, in order to prevent the Song army's assault, even at the most critical time of the battle with the Kpchaks, they still left some of their soldiers and horses to guard in the east.

Now that the Song people can turn the war into jade silk, the gains and losses in economic interests will not be said - just like the grassland Silk Road in the past, once the Western Liao and the Zhao and Song dynasties reconciled, the silk, porcelain, tea, rhubarb, iron pot, etc. of the Central Plains could be sent to the Western Liao through the river through the Western Regions. And then directly transported to the farther west through Western Liao!

It is said that the value of silk is equal to that of gold. At that time, Xiliao was naturally able to obtain huge economic benefits.

But let's not talk about economic interests, only military interests, a large number of soldiers and horses on the eastern front can be transferred to the western front, and the Kpchaks, who are not opponents of Western Liao, will inevitably be even less opponents.

Even the more western principalities of Rus' and the Pechenegs and the Hungarians, Xiao Erila did not pay attention to them.

The Xiliao clique are not blind 'ignorant people', they know very well that there is a place called the Crimean Peninsula to the west of the Khazar Sea, where the water and grass are abundant, and the climate is warm and humid, which is much better than the Kipchak steppe they now occupy.

Beyond the Crimean Peninsula, the Pechenegs and Hungarians, the temperatures will be warmer and there will be more fertile land to cultivate.

Two hundred years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Khitans have long been no longer a simple nomadic people. It is the party members, and they are not simple nomads, although their previous cultivation and handicrafts relied more on the Han people, but this does not mean that the high-level figures of the two ethnic groups will be stupid enough to think that nomadism is more secure than farming!

The Khitans and Dangxiang people, who had never intended to be a purely nomadic country, were eager to cultivate land from the bottom of their hearts.

Naturally, there is a lot of fertile land in the Kipchak steppe, but the winters here are really too cold and cold.

Whether it is the Khitan or the Dangxiang people, the nobles of the two ethnic groups are not adapted to the cold winter of the Kipchak grassland, even if the Song people do not drive them to the west, they will also spontaneously go west.

Because they stayed where they were, they simply couldn't go south.

The Song people, who occupied the eastern and western Qarakhanids, would definitely not give them the space and opportunity to develop southward.

Now that the two sides can reconcile, it would definitely be a good thing.

Even Brother Richard and other remnants of the party are willing to endure the hatred of the country, and the Khitans are even more fine.

The enlarged meeting of the Western Liao political and military group ended smoothly, and Yelu Dashi and Richard Ge personally met with Yuwen Xuzhong, a member of the Song dynasty who was in charge of the Hezhong region.

Yelu Dashi completely agreed to the conditions brought by Yuwen Xuzhong, and Brother Richard next to him looked at Yuwen Xuzhong, and unexpectedly found that he couldn't have the previous hatred in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't hate it at all in his heart, but he doesn't have the same determination as before.

Has it been worn out by the ruthless wind and snow of the past few years?

Brother Richard suddenly admired Su Wu, who had been shepherding sheep in Beihai for 19 years, and felt lost in his heart.

Yuwen Xuzhong was also overjoyed, this kind of thing was accomplished, not only the newborn Anxi Dadu Protectorate went to the north to threaten less, but he Yuwen Xuzhong then sent troops to the north, and he could also pick up a big piece of convenience.

"The two of them are generally aware of the general trend, and they are really outstanding people. Dare to let the two know that as soon as the canonization envoy of Bianjing arrives, the official family will have a gift to give it together. The official also has a big gift here. The two of them will think about what they need next, what their subordinates lack. ”

It is reasonable to be reasonable, before the Western Liao went westward, Zhao Song had to milk them fiercely.

From all kinds of military supplies needed by Western Liao to the races they needed most, the Great Song Dynasty could send them to them.

Zhao Gou can even take out the plate armor, as long as Yelu Dashi and Brother Richard can get the money and things that can be exchanged, he can give the first plate armor to Xiliao.

As for the race, there are quite a few party prisoners in the northwest.

On the contrary, it was the Khitans, who had a more glorious history, but they were more easily integrated into the Great Song Dynasty than the party members.

But a search and a search always finds a group of people!

Yelu Dashi and Brother Richard quickly got the meaning of Yuwen Xuzhong's words, and their faces were overjoyed.

What has been the most worrying thing since they moved west? That is, it is not possible to unite all the conquered tribes as soon as possible.

And why can't we do it sooner?

Of course, because there are fewer of them, and the conquered tribes are more numerous.

Even if Yelu Dashi and Richard both looted a large number of women and distributed them to their subordinates, in recent years, they have indeed produced a lot of small radish heads under their command.

However, it will take at least ten years for them to come in handy.

A life can easily be wiped out on the battlefield, but it takes at least twenty years to nurture it.

This is the same as Zhao Gou's thoughts when he dealt with the Eight Banners in his previous life at the end of the Ming Dynasty, you Tartars are very capable of fighting, but I will fight with you to the end. The Central Plains has a population of hundreds of millions, and there are countless adult males, but how many are there in the Eight Banners?

One-on-one can't fight you, I can fight you one by two or three people, and that can make you unbearable.

Western Liao is now facing the same dilemma as the Tartars - lack of manpower.

If he can get the support of Zhao Song at this point, let alone call Yelu Dashi to the emperor, that is, to ask Yelu Dashi to call Zhao Gou's father, he is willing.

"The two of you should choose people as soon as possible, so that we can go to Bianjing as soon as possible!" Yuwen said with a smile.
