Chapter 119: G2 (3)
Listening to Yelu Zongzhen's words, the ministers of the Liao Kingdom in the palace all began to ponder. "Brother Huang, what do you mean?" After a long time, a young man who had been silent beside Yelu Zongzhen asked.
"I'm ......" Yelu Zongzhen looked at the young man and laughed: "I didn't think too much about it......"
He raised his eyebrows, looked at the young man, and asked, "Zong Yuan, what do you think?" ”
This young man is the current prime minister of the north and south of Daliao and the emperor's younger brother Yelu Zongyuan.
He is five years younger than Yelu Zongzhen, born in the first year of Taiping (the fifth year of Song Tianxi), and is twenty years old this year.
"Brother Huang......" Yelu Zongyuan got up and bowed: "Brother Chen thinks that the Southern Dynasty wants to lead the water to the east, and wants to draw the attention of our dynasty from the south to the east......"
Yelu Zongzhen nodded and said, "I know ......."
This thing, as long as you are not stupid, you can see it.
"Therefore, I want to ask the ministers whether our dynasty accepts this reply from the Song Dynasty!" Yelu Zongzhen walked back to his seat and sat down, and said, "Zongyuan, you have always been smart, then it is up to you to tell me, what is the reply of the Southern Dynasty?" ”
"Use the stories you know from the books you've read as examples!"
Yelu Zongyuan listened, frowning, he didn't read very carefully, he didn't know what Yelu Zongzhen was really referring to? I had to bow my head and say: "The younger brother is stupid, and the royal brother begs for advice!" ”
Yelu Zongzhen listened, laughed, and said to Zhang Jian, the old minister who had been sitting on the chair and the old god was there: "Father Shang once taught me to read historical records......
"I remember that Father Shang taught King Zhaoxiang of the Warring States of Qin to send Wei Ran as an envoy to the State of Qi to persuade King Qi to accept the suggestion of the State of Qin......"
"Qi is called the Eastern Emperor, Qin is called the Western Emperor, and the two great powers of the East and the West jointly claim the emperor, and then work together to destroy the Song, Zhao, Wei, Han and other countries when they divide the world......"
Yelu Zongzhen walked up to Zhang Jian and bowed deeply: "I remember, that father warned me that people, you must hold back your greed, don't covet things that are too good, but you can't actually get them!" ”
"King Qi was forced to death by the Qin State step by step because he disregarded the national strength and was forced to death by the Qin State step by step......"
Zhang Jian listened, very pleased, stepped forward to help Yelu Zongzhen, and said: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, the old minister thinks that if the first emperor knows the spirit of the sky, he will be happy!" ”
Yelu Zongzhen looked at Zhang Jian and the ministers and said: "Today, the reply of the Southern Dynasty is like the ecstasy soup that Wei Ran poured into the King of Qi when he entered Qi back then......"
"The four replies of the Southern Dynasty are actually saying: Song and Liao are brothers, and divide the world!"
"Song invaded Western Xia, Liao conquered Goryeo, after the matter was completed, Goryeo returned to Liao, and Guazhou and Shazhou in Western Xia belonged to my Great Liao......"
"That's why I'm going to gather all the ministers and ask everyone's opinions......" Yelu Zongzhen raised his head and looked at everyone: "Do you want to agree and eat this poison pill of the Southern Dynasty!" ”
"Why do you eat it when you know it's poisonous?" Young Yelu Zongyuan didn't quite understand.
"Hehe......" Yelu Zong really laughed, he is not a mediocre lord, from the day he ascended the throne, he was determined to inherit his father's will and completely turn Da Liao into the real China, the only heir of the Han and Tang dynasties!
Anyway, the dynasties established by the Xianbei Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan in the past eventually became Chinese Zhengshuo.
Why can't the Khitan Yelu clan, who is also from Xianbei?
Could it be that the head of the nun can be touched by the poor monk, but the poor road cannot be touched?
It's funny!
However, in order to achieve this great cause, he faced many difficulties and obstacles.
The first is that the Southern Dynasty, which has the right to speak culturally, resolutely refuses to recognize the status of the Yelu clan.
Secondly, there is also a countercurrent within the Khitans.
However, now, the people of the Southern Dynasty took the initiative to send a choice to him.
As long as it is agreed, the difficulty of Liao's transformation into China will be lowered by a notch.
"Back then......" Yelu Zongzhen said with a smile: "Zheng Guo, a Korean, was ordered to come to Qin and ask for the construction of Zheng Guoqu for the King of Qin......"
"King Qin clearly knows that Korea wants to weaken Qin...... Why did you say yes? Yelu asked his ministers.
Then he answered this question himself: "Because, Qin State understands that once the Zheng State Canal is completed, Qin State will no longer have to worry about the food problem, and can let go and unify the world!" ”
"Nowadays, it is also a general ......"
"If the Southern Dynasty is really willing to share the world with our dynasty......"
"Then, our dynasty can transfer the army of the sixteen states of Yanyun to the east, sweep away Goryeo, and completely eliminate the Goryeo Wang clan......"
"Not only will it expand the land for 3,000 miles, but it can also solve the problems of the Bohai Sea and the Jurchens at the same time......"
"Everyone, don't forget the Great Yanlin Rebellion!" Yelu Zong said solemnly.
As a result, all the nobles of the Liao Kingdom bowed their heads deeply: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
For Liao, the land of the Bohai Sea has always been a trouble.
Not only the local Bohai relics, old and young, who are always thinking about restoring the country, but also the Jurchens and Koreans, mixed together and plotted to cause chaos.
So, more than ten years ago, Da Yanlin, a descendant of the King of Bohai, rebelled with the Jurchens and Goryeo.
Liao history is called the 'Great Yanlin Rebellion'.
The rebellion lasted for a whole year, and the Liao State spent countless manpower, material and financial resources to finally suppress it.
Although the rebellion was suppressed, the local rebels and traitors still lurked in the darkness and became the heart of the Liao State.
However, from Yelu Longxu to Yelu Zongzhen, they did not have the energy and ability to deal with these problems.
Because, the main force of the Liao State must stay in Yanyun, and the Liao Lord can only focus his main attention on this side.
After all, who knows if the people of the Southern Dynasties will go crazy and go on a northern expedition?
It must be known that the number of Song Ting's army on paper has always been very large.
Counting only the forbidden army, there are five or six hundred thousand people, plus the box army, and the real armor is one million.
Such a huge army, even if it is full of war scum, its combined power and destructive power cannot be underestimated.
What's more, the actual combat capability of this army is actually not bad.
Now, Song Ting actually took the initiative to invite the Liao State to divide the world equally.
At least that's what Jerod really understood.
That means that the time is ripe for another crusade.
The Great Liao Heavenly Soldiers can cross the Yalu River again, punish the barbarians of the Goryeo Wang, and even completely wipe them out and incorporate this enemy country that has been provoking the Liao State externally into their own territory.
In this way, the Great Liao Empire can avoid the enemy on its belly and back, no longer have to worry about the fire in its backyard, and can concentrate its energy and attention on going south.
In Yelu Zongzhen's opinion, it is very cost-effective to exchange a Western Xia for the Liao State to clean up the hidden dangers in his backyard.
