After the early dynasty, Li Yan left Li Dashi (Yelu Dashi) alone.

Li Dashi...... Let's call him Jerodashi.

At the beginning of being captured by Li Yan, Yelu Dashi fled back to the grassland with one mind and revived the glory of the Great Liao Empire.

But Li Yan always prevented Yelu Dashi from escaping back to the grassland, and later Li Yan simply separated Yelu Dashi's family from other Khitans, that is, he threw Yelu Dashi's family to the Indochina Peninsula, and even threw Yelu Dashi's family to Phuket County, which was surrounded by the sea.

In Phuket, which is surrounded by the sea, there is nowhere to run for the Jerod rocks.

Moreover, the people in charge of guarding Yelu Dashi are still the conscientious Hu Quan and Li Zong.

This made Yelu Dashi completely lose hope of escaping, and he could only live in Phuket.

During his time in Phuket, Yelu Dashi witnessed with his own eyes how strong Dazhong was in controlling the Strait of Malacca, and how much they had fallen to the Great Liao Empire, no, even the Great Liao Empire in its strongest period could not be challenged.

What's more important is that Yelu Dashi has already sensed how jealous Li Yan is of him, and he is so jealous that as long as he dares to escape, Hu Quan and Li Zong will definitely kill him!

There is no way, Yelu Dashi can only operate the Strait of Malacca with Hu Quan and contribute to the construction of Dazhong.

During this period, Yelu Dashi heard that the Khitans who were forced by the imperial court to wear Hanfu and grow their hair had been sinicized to a large extent, and the descendants of the Khitans were not even different from Han children.

This can't help but make Yelu Dashi secretly sad: "The general trend has gone!" ”

Yelu Dashi, who thought that he would stay in Phuket for the rest of his life, was getting weaker and weaker.

By the time Yelu Dashi was forty-five years old, Yelu Dashi no longer wanted to restore the country and regain the glory of his ancestors.

But at that time, Li Yan's holy decree arrived and Li Yan summoned him back to Beijing.

Yelu Dashi didn't know what Li Yan was calling him back to Beijing for.

But

Yelu Dashi, who had already had enough of staying in Phuket, immediately took his wife Xiao Ta Buyan, son Yelu Yilie and daughter Yelu Pu to return to Yanjing by steamer.

Coming to Yanjing City, which was originally very familiar, Yelu Dashi only felt strange, and the Yanjing City dominated by the Khitans in his heart had disappeared, and was replaced by a bustling metropolis that made Yelu Dashi a little dazzled.

After entering the palace to meet Li Yan, Li Yan chatted with Yelu Dashi about the grassland world.

Under Li Yan's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Yelu Dashi did not dare to hide it in the slightest, and told Li Yan everything he knew about the grassland situation.

After talking with Yelu Dashi, Li Yan asked Zhu Gui, Chai Jin, Shi Xiu, Ma Kuo and others to be called, and then announced the establishment of the Grassland Strategy Department, with Yelu Dashi Ren Shangshu, Zhu Gui, Chai Jin, Shi Xiu, Ma Kuo and others and the departments led by them cooperating with Yelu Dashi and the Grassland Strategy Department to effectively use and manipulate the tribal contradictions in the grassland to divide and rule, and finally achieve the goal of controlling the grassland.

In order to show the importance of Yelu Dashi and the Grassland Strategy Department, and also to cut off Yelu Dashi's back road, and to let Zhu Gui, Chai Jin, Shi Xiu, Ma Kuo and other his favorite ministers cooperate with Yelu Dashi's work, Li Yan accepted Yelu Dashi's daughter (Khitan name, Yelu Pu Suwan) as a concubine.

In the blink of an eye, the Grassland Strategy Department has been established for more than three years.

In the past three years or so, the results of the Grassland Strategy Department have been very good.

Under the operation of Yelu Dashi, Dazhong not only took Tatarna as his vassal, but Honglu Temple also sent people into the grassland many times, and made contact with many small tribes such as Northern Liao and Da Huang Murowei, Dira, Wang Jira, Cha Chira, Yexi, Nose Gude, Nira, Dara, Damili, Mierji, Hezhu, Wuguli, Zubu, Pusuwan, Tanggu, Humusi, Xidi, and Jiaoerbi, and some of these small tribes have made it clear that they are willing to become Dazhong vassals and are willing to respect Li Yan as a khan.

After Yelu Dashi and Li Yan went to the side hall, Li Yan said straight to the point: "Wanyan Wu begged to die, Wanyan succeeded as the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, some people think that we should send troops to attack Jin now, what do you think?" ”

Yelu Dashi first bowed, and then said: "When Jin Taizong was alive, he wanted his eldest son Wanyan Zongpan to be the master version of Bo Jilie, but Wan Yan Zonggan, Wan Yan Zongfu and other clan relatives and nobles forced Jin Taizong to establish Wan Yan as the Wei version of Bo Ji Lie, however, as far as Wei Chen knows, before Jin Taizong died, although Wan Yan was established as the Zhi version of Bo Jilie, but the government was in the hands of Wan Yan Zongpan, Wan Yan Zongjun, Wan Yan Chang and others, Wan Yan, Wan Yan Zonggan, Wan Yan Zongfu and others finally waited until Jin Taizong died, It is impossible not to find a way to recapture the government, so there must be a dragon and tiger battle between the two factions. ”

After a pause, Yelu Dashi continued: "The political struggle is already fierce, especially this kind of struggle for imperial power, not to mention that the grassland people like to fight bravely, so if these two factions fight, they will inevitably be bloody. ”

Hearing this, Li Yan asked, "So, are you advocating sending troops to fight gold?" ”

Yelu Dashi hated the Jurchens and even wanted to exterminate their Manchus, how could he not agree to send troops to fight Jin?

But

Yelu Dashi knew more clearly that Li Yan's eyes were intolerant of sand, and if he wanted to use Li Yan as a gunman, it would be purely self-defeating.

Therefore, Yelu Dashi suppressed his hatred for the Jurchens and said from the perspective of Dazhong: "The war must be fell, but in Weichen's humble opinion, now is not the best time to send troops." ”

Li Yan said quietly: "Oh? Take your mind well. ”

Yelu Dashi organized the language, and then said: "Now the war on gold will only prompt Wanyan, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Chang and others to let go of all contradictions, and then make the whole Jin country unanimously fight against our Dazhong, so Weichen is foolish, it is better to wait for the outbreak of its civil strife, and then go to the Jin, and then go to the Jin, and then destroy the future troubles in one fell swoop." ”

Li Yan said noncommittally: "You mean, we just need to wait quietly for its civil strife to break out?" ”

Yelu Dashi said: "Wait, the time is too long, and there may be long nights and dreams...... Now, the internal contradiction of Dajin is like a powder keg, as long as the external pressure is given to it, this contradiction can explode in advance. ”

Hearing this, Li Yancai smiled and said, "Aiqing and I want to go together, then your grassland strategy department will be responsible for this matter." ”

Yelu Dashi replied: "No." ”

As soon as Li Yan beckoned, the chamberlain immediately came to Yelu Dashi's side with a secret letter, and then handed the secret letter to Yelu Dashi's hand.

At the same time, Li Yan's voice sounded: "Look at the content of this secret letter. ”

Hearing this, Jerodashi unfolded the secret letter, and then read it.

Reading and reading, Yelu Dashi's face couldn't help but show a look of shock mixed with sadness......
