On the Kipchak steppe, thousands of miles away from Bianjing.

On a grassland with abundant water and grass and sunny sunshine, tens of thousands of felt bags are clustered around a huge palace tent in the center.

Countless cattle, sheep and horses roamed in the green grassland, and children, women and children let out crisp laughter.

"The King of Khan has a heart!"

Yuwen Xuzhong saw Yelu Dashi's first sentence, and the famous Western Liao Emperor choked speechless.

What does it mean to have a heart?

Co-authored Lao Tzu took the initiative to come to the west, which is a heart for Zhao Song, right?

Yelu Dashi held back his anger and did not shout. Otherwise, Yu Wenxu would definitely nod his head loudly.

The Western Liao established by the former did not mix with the anti-Song alliance organized by the Seljuks, second, it did not pose any substantial threat to the Song army that entered the Hezhong region, and third, it did not need the Song army to speak, so it took the initiative to go west.

"Is what Xiang Gong said true?"

After Yelu Dashi listened to Yuwen Xuzhong's words, the whole person was a little incredulous. Even if he was getting a so-called 'letter from Emperor Song' in his hand.

Zhao Jiu is really so generous? Released him Yelu Dashi and Brother Richard?

"Why should the Khan be humble?" Yuwen said in a false voice: "Your army is going all the way to the west, destroying the sacrifice of prostitution, turning ignorance, and building holy virtues. ”

As early as when Yelu Dashi moved westward, the Song army did not relax its attention to him. Since the defeat of the Donkopchaks, the latter has banned the Nestorian religion - the Kupchak Khanate was an orthodox Nestorian religion, inculcated Buddhism, made Chinese the official language, and even established aristocratic schools to teach Sinology.

Those Kepchak tribes who surrendered to Yelu Dashi sacrificed their heirs one by one to Yelu Dashi as protons, and then learned Chinese language and Sinology here in Yelu Dashi, believing in Buddhism and respecting Confucianism.

Although Yelu Dashi's clothing still maintains the Khitan style, many of his policy programs are in sinicization, and a large area of sinicization. It's just that what surprised outsiders was that those sinicization policies did not cause the slightest turmoil in Xiliao.

It's really unexpected, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

The Kupchaks were a tribal alliance of steppe nomads who took over the scepter of the Kimaks and stretched across the eastern and western steppes of the Kipchak steppe.

It starts at the Irtysh River in the east and extends to the South Russian steppe at the northern end of the Black Sea.

It seems to be a vast area, but the population is not large, and the culture is even weaker. It is not at all comparable to the celestial civilization that came into contact with the river region.

In addition, the Kpchak people themselves are a large alliance of nomadic peoples, including Uighur tribes, Turkic tribes, and a large number of indigenous tribes, which are mixed with each other, and culturally embarrassed, can be described as a desert.

The Western Liao, which seized East Kpchak, could not absorb the slightest civilization nourishment from the Kpchaks, so it could only use its own civilization to influence the conquered Kpchak tribes.

In the process, a choice was placed in front of their eyes.

Khitan civilization, party civilization, Han civilization!

Choosing the best one out of the three in order to be able to unify all the tribes as quickly as possible is related to the future of all the people in Western Liao.

Then all chose the third.

Whether it is Yelu Dashi or Brother Richard, they are very aware of the prestige of the Eastern Zhao and Song dynasties. And all ethnic groups in the West also know that the Khitan is a remnant of the desert and fled, and if they use the fire of civilization of their own clan to illuminate others, it will be a bit exaggerated. The top officials of the Western Liao were also worried that if the Song army pursued them, they feared that the many tribes under their rule would immediately fall apart.

After all, the characteristics of the steppe tribes determine their weakness - if they can't fight, they surrender, how simple is it?

But if it is rendered by Han civilization, it will not be a problem.

Those Kpchak tribes who surrendered themselves to both ends of the rat in their hearts, just in order to be able to sell more in front of the Song people when the Song army came over, I am afraid that they will use their hearts to sinicize.

And to put it more bluntly, there is not too much Han culture mixed in the Khitan civilization and the party civilization.

Even the Khitan script and the Western Xia script themselves are created with reference to Chinese characters, and they belong to the derivative characters of Chinese characters, which shows how much water the so-called Khitan civilization and Dangxiang civilization have.

Thinking like this, the old and young of the two races can accept it.

Yelu Dashi really didn't think about the word 'edification'.

I couldn't imagine that the helpless actions of myself and others would be evaluated so highly by Emperor Zhao thousands of miles away.

"The above is Zhao Jiu's request, let's discuss it."

In the palace tent, all the powerful people of Western Liao were present, Yelu Dashi sat on the left hand side of Li Chage, on the right hand side sat Xiao Hu Lila, and below it were Yelu Songshan, Yelu Tiege, Xiao Ra Abu, Yelu Shuxue and Li Liangfu, Li Fuli, etc.

These people can be said to be most of the real power high-level leaders of the Western Liao Empire.

Now listening to Yelu Dashi's words, everyone is shocked, and no one wants to be the first to speak.

What do you want to say?

Said that Zhao Jiu's meaning should be agreed, Yelu Dashi should go to the emperor's title, be awarded the title by Zhao Song, bow his head and pay tribute, in exchange for 'peace' with the Song people?

Are you afraid that the knife of Jerodashi will be unfavorable?

In the case of not being sure of Yelu Dashi's true thoughts in his heart, no one dares to really express his heart!

Everyone's eyes were on Brother Richard. He's the King of Summer! It's much better than Xiao Lira's King of the Six Courtyards (King of the Southern Courtyard), and he is a real vassal king.

"The emperor's name is just a fantasy, there are many people in the history of thousands of years, and His Majesty dares to seek a way of life in the realm of no life, expanding the territory of thousands of miles to the west, survival continues, and then set up a new sky, which is really a hero. Where the situation is going today, there is really no need to say more. ”

Richard's words caused all the ministers in the palace to change their faces. I'm afraid that he will anger Yelu Dashi!

Liao is the brother country of the Song Dynasty, and for more than a hundred years, the Khitan people have their nostrils facing the Song people. Now that he is being canonized by Emperor Song, emotionally not everyone can accept it calmly.

But when everyone looked at Yelu Dashi, they found that the latter's face was as usual, as if Richard's words had not touched him at all.

Everyone knows Yelu Dashi's style, not the kind of person who is moody and invisible.

In the group of Western Liao, Yelu Dashi's status and prestige are unmatched, he doesn't need to play some routines, he should be happy, he should be angry, and he will never be unfathomable.

And such a frank behavior also allowed the Xiliao military group to maintain unity in the most difficult situation, even if it was a party part, every soldier also respected Yelu Dashi very much.

Even the reason why Brother Richard dares to confess like this today is because Yelu Dashi is absolutely open-minded.
