Yunzhou Mansion, Datong.

The official road was a little deserted, and a team of knights looked like a hundred and ten people, slowly heading towards Datong.

Yelu Dashi had to return to this court and beg Yelu Yanxi to send troops to help him resist the Jurchens together.

Since the Northern Expedition with Yao Pingzhong, Yelu Dashi's forces have covered Zhongjing Mansion, but they have inadvertently become the barrier of Yunzhou Mansion.

These ministers of Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi and Khitan, in this half a year, sat back and relaxed, and never heard the news of the Jurchens going south, they were simply happy.

Yelu Yanxi not only did not help other Khitan forces, but even sent troops to harass from behind when the Jurchens stormed Zhongjingfu. In the name of beauty, he asked Jin Bing to quell the rebellion, and let his son and Concubine Wen be captured by the Jin people.

Yelu Dashi was nominally obedient to him, and when he received the Jurchen onslaught, Yelu Yanxi did not have the slightest support.

Wanyan Lou Room led his troops to three battles and three victories in Beigui Mountain, and defeated Yelu Dashi and retreated, and now the mountains and rivers are exhausted, so he has to come to Yunzhou, begging Yelu Yanxi not to watch from the wall anymore, hoping to persuade him to send troops together to resist the Jurchen attack,

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, which is an extremely simple truth, why don't the faint monarchs and ministers in Yunzhou understand it.

Yelu Dashi pulled the reins and looked at the sky, looking arrogant and stubborn, but there seemed to be a little sadness and melancholy in his eyes.

The clouds are gone, a round of red sun jumps out of the east, the sun is shining, and Datong City is already in front of you.

The city wall was full of pits, full of traces of the Jurchen attack, Yelu Dashi frowned and said: "Since the Jurchen soldiers have retreated, this city is worry-free for the time being, and no one has repaired the city wall?" ”

The knights behind him all sneered, this small court is not dead, it is intolerable. What is hateful is that there are still the last elite 100,000 Khitan people in control here, and Yelu Dashi's subordinates are all Zahu and the eight battalions of Liaodong resentful soldiers.

Yelu Dashi entered the city, but no one came to greet him, and the Yunzhou Mansion was full of wolves and pigs, and there were soldiers running back and forth everywhere.

When Yelu Dashi came to the outside of the palace, someone led them to an abandoned courtyard and told them to wait for His Majesty to summon them.

This wait is three days, and the personal soldiers under Yelu Dashi have run out of patience.

When the food delivery man came, Yelu Dashi stopped him and asked, "Where is Your Majesty?" ”

It was a group of Yunzhou soldiers who delivered the meal, led by a ruffian, who replied impatiently: "Don't you see that the whole city is busy, who has the time to see you." ”

Behind Yelu Dashi, a deputy general lowered his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and grabbed him in the air, half-supporting and half-lifting, threatening to break his waist.

The people who delivered the food dropped their things one after another, turned their heads and ran, leaving only the young general in mid-air to howl incessantly.

"Let me ask you, what is Your Majesty up to!"

"I said, I said, put me down first!"

Yelu Dashi made a look, and the deputy general put the person down, and after such a beating, the general was suddenly a lot more honest, and said with a strong smile: "Bianliang came to the Song envoy and asked us Khitan to send a hundred virgins into the palace, Your Majesty, he is personally selecting." ”

Yelu Dashi's face was pale, and a sense of grief and indignation rushed into the sky, what did such a humiliating court do to restore the country?

Since the founding of the Khitan country, it has crushed the existence of the Central Plains Dynasty, and almost every dynasty in the five dynasties has bowed its head to the Khitan.

Even the Great Song Dynasty has been suppressed several times, and the city of Bianliang, Tokyo, has been killed two or three times.

Until now, there has been an order from the Song people to come to Khitan to ask for the palace maid, which has reversed the status of the two sides.

Yelu Dashi closed his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said silently: "Wait another day." ”

At this time, no matter how bad they are, there is nothing they can do.

Relying only on the little supplies that Yang Lin assisted to continue his life, in the cold grassland, playing a game of cat and mouse with the Jurchens was already the end of the crossbow.

If the cat can't catch the mouse, it can continue to catch it, and once the mouse is careless, its life will be gone.

After landing, the general looked left and right, and said with a cheap smile: "It's okay, can the villain go?" ”

"Get out!"

After the generals crawled away, Yelu Dashi's lieutenant said in a deep voice: "General, forget it, how can this imperial court help you and me, it is better to retreat west, let them come and fight the Jurchens themselves." ”

"If we retreat west, when will the Khitans return to their homeland?" Yelu Dashi shook his head, and there was a hint of loneliness in his voice that was difficult to hide.

"Can such a court still be restored?"

Although Yelu Dashi was more angry than anyone else in his heart, he still had to appease his henchmen, if they didn't have the same heart as themselves, they really had nothing.

"It is precisely because of the imperial court that we are even less qualified to retreat..."

Even in such a situation, Yelu Dashi's shoulders did not slack at all.

Goryeo has always been the death gate of the Central Plains Dynasty, no one can move it, it must be my vassal state.

Emperor Yang of Sui, a generation of male lords, also wanted to conquer Goguryeo when he died, and lost the country for this; The Tang Dynasty directly attacked the capital and supported the puppet regime; When the Ming Dynasty was in internal and external difficulties, he did not forget to send troops to quell the two Renchen rebellions; Even the Qing Dynasty, which was like that joke, gave up what should not be given up, and when Japan attacked Korea, it still had to send troops to fight to the death.

After the founding of the country in later generations, all kinds of ruins were waiting to be rebuilt, the wounds of the war had not yet healed, and when the entire land of China was still licking its wounds, someone moved this piece of reverse scales, and still rolled up his sleeves to do it with him, even if the opponent was a great power that could not be defeated at that time, it was necessary to ensure that this place was China's little brother.

Once North Korea no longer grasps it, it is equivalent to opening a door in Youyan. Only the Great Song Dynasty is special, because the Great Song Dynasty has actually not bordered Goryeo until Yang Lin recovered Youyan. Before that, between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo, there was still a great Liao Nanjing Mansion.

Since this place is so important, there is actually a reason why it was not incorporated into the national territory.

The regime of this place, for thousands of years, has always been particularly good at being grandsons because of national issues.

The Han Dynasty in the Central Plains basically follows the idea of "the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister", that is, the world is mine, as long as you surrender, it is mine. And North Korea has been called a tribute as soon as it became independent, and has been pretending to be a grandson since then. As long as the Central Plains are unified, or a slightly larger regime is established. Whoever ruled the Korean Peninsula immediately came to pay tribute and show submission to the emperor.

In addition, the perennial cold here is not suitable for the development of agricultural areas, so the desolate Korean Peninsula is even less suitable for the development of the country. If you manage it personally, once the locals resist, the Central Plains will transport supplies through Liaodong, and the cost of long-term garrisons will be very high. As a vassal state, the Korean Peninsula is very honest and pays tribute every year, so this mechanism is relatively more advantageous. Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty has never had this idea at all and occupied this barbaric land.

Now the Great Song Dynasty is in full swing, and in just a few years, it has destroyed Western Xia, collected Dali, and Natuban, and also took back the homeland of Youyan, and repelled the old enemy Jurchen of Goryeo, which is simply a precursor to a strong rise.

Before the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty arrived in Goryeo, they had already sent people in advance and sent treasures, ginseng, and palace maids.

The envoy who went to announce the decree met the Goryeo delegation on the way, and there were 300 palace maids on the way, which was far beyond the standard, so he happily followed them on the return journey.

---

The Song envoy who went to the Jin Kingdom to proclaim the decree was the most unlucky, and he was worried about being beaten and driven out of the country every day on the road. Even worse, there is a life-threatening risk.

Who knew that when they arrived at Huining Mansion, they received a grand reception from the Jin Dynasty, and told them that Dajin and Da Song were on an equal footing, and they also took out evidence very seriously.

At the beginning, Da Liao canonized Dajin as the Great Sage Brother Emperor, and he was on an equal footing with Emperor Liao, while Song and Liao were equal.

Before leaving, the Jin people accepted the gifts of the Song Dynasty and prepared some return gifts.

These people happily returned to Bianliang, as if they had escaped death, and saw Yang Lin tell what they had seen and heard.

Yang Lin was silent and didn't speak for a long time. In the Ming Hall, the civil officials laughed and ridiculed this barbarian tribe for treating themselves as a big country on an equal footing.

The civil officials did their best to ridicule and laugh heartily, but Yang Lin was in a heavy mood.

The Jurchens are moving from tribes to countries, which is by no means a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness and war mobilization ability of a loose tribal alliance cannot be compared with a country. You're here to laugh at his ridiculousness when he started, but you don't know how quickly their strength has grown.

After a big battle, I know that it is coming soon by counting my fingers, and our opponent is a few points stronger, what about Da Song?
