The open battle between Da Zhou and Da Jin has not yet begun, but the secret battle has been staged several rounds.

Wu Haogu took advantage of the advantages of the sea and the strong financial layout to settle behind the Dajin Kingdom.

And Aguta laid out a westward migration bureau. settled in Datong Mansion, obviously to wipe out the territory of Xijing Road in Liaoguo!

This move is a fairy move, which can break the dilemma of the Jurchen road being blocked in one fell swoop. At the same time, it can also resolve more than half of the way Wu Haogu won over the savage Jurchen.

But that's not the best thing about the westward move. The most beneficial move to the west for the Jurchens was to control the passage from Hedong and Shuofang to the south to the Central Plains!

Winter is approaching, and the tribes on the Mobei grassland will eventually look for a way out. If the Great Zhou State used the fortress wall dock to block the Bashang Grassland, the Horqin Grassland and the Liaohe Plain, then Hedong and Shuofang were the only two passages for the grassland ethnic minorities to go south.

If these two passages were controlled by the Jurchens, then the strong men on the grassland could only grab wealth from the rich and warm Central Plains by obeying the command of the Jurchens.

Moreover, the Xijing Road of the Liao State also includes a part of the Monan grassland and the Hetao grassland.

These two places are really warm and rich compared to the Mobei grassland. Whether it is a blockade, a sprout or a Tatar, they must all covet these two grasslands.

With the southbound passage and the Monan and Hetao grasslands, how could the Jurchens win over a group of grassland brothers.

With the help of grassland thugs like Zhubu and Menggu, it is impossible for Dajin Guo not to go south......

In fact, after the Liaohe River Valley, the Liaodong Peninsula, the mountainous areas of western Liaoning, the Bashang Grassland and the Horqin Grassland were all controlled by the Great Zhou Republic, the Jurchens at the peak would inevitably develop towards the grassland. And in order to win the support of the steppe tribes, the Dajin Kingdom had to act as a "bandit leader" among the northern ethnic minorities.

Thinking about the current situation of Ah Guda, Wu Haogu had to sigh: "Ah Gu beats the second brother (Wu Haogu and Wu Yashu are brothers, so you can also care about the second brother of Ah Gu's screaming) This time I want to hit the dam and pass, and the younger brother will naturally not stop it, and there is no way to stop it."

However, the younger brother is helping the ranch knights of Eastern Liao to divide the grassland and build a wall dock in the grassland on the dam. By the time the Ranch Knight's wall dock was mostly completed, the grassland on the dam would not be a place to go in and out casually. ”

The southern part of the Bashang Grassland and the Horqin Grassland is now a disputed area between the Zhou and Jin states, and has not been officially demarcated. However, the actual control was mainly in the hands of the Eastern Liao, which was supported by the Great Zhou.

However, since the Ranch Knight's wall dock group had not yet been completed, the Great Zhou and Eastern Liao did not have very tight control over the Bashang Grassland and the southern part of the Horqin Grassland.

For example, this time, after the 5,000 iron cavalry led by Ah Guta crossed most of the grassland on the dam, Wu Haogu got the report. It's a bit too late to stop it.

Ah Gu smiled and said: "The grassland on the dam and the southern part of the Horqin grassland have always been the land where the grassland tribes can travel freely, but now they are encircled like this, and there is also a wall dock to build a wall dock, so that no one can pass by, so that they are not afraid of causing public anger on the grassland?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Wu Haogu said coldly, "The land under the world was originally for people to come and go freely. But the strong can encircle a piece of land and form a country, and prevent others from entering. Didn't you also enclose a large piece of land and establish the Dajin Kingdom? ”

"Hahaha!" Ah Gu laughed, "But our Dajin Kingdom didn't agree to the southern part of the Bashang Grassland and the Horqin Grassland to be returned to Eastern Liao!" ”

"Ridiculous!" Wu Haogu sneered, "The Liao Kingdom was crushed by my Great Zhou, and it is okay for my Great Zhou to take it all." Today, just take one of them, and still need the consent of others? ”

"If it belongs to the Great Zhou, our family naturally has no opinion," Ah Gu said, "but now the Bashang Grassland and the southern part of the Horqin Grassland belong to the Eastern Liao Prince's Mansion...... What's going on? ”

Wu Hao Gu said: "Eastern Liao is protected by my Great Zhou, and it is a subordinate state of the Great Zhou. ”

"Oh?" Ah Gu smiled, "In this way, Dongliao and my Dajin are no longer enemies?" ”

"Nature is not an enemy." Wuhao Ancient Road.

"The Empress Dowager of Dongliao also agrees?"

"Naturally, I agreed!" Wu Haogu said, "As long as my words, Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't dare not listen." ”

"That's okay," Ah Gu laughed, "We can admit that the southern part of the Bashang Grassland and the Horqin Grassland belong to the Eastern Liao Prince's Mansion...... However, the Great Zhou State must also ensure that the Great Prince's Mansion of Eastern Liao is not an enemy of our Dajin.

also make a covenant in black and white, swear to Tianli, and Empress Dowager Xiao will also participate in the alliance! ”

This is......

Wu Haogu listened to Ah Guda's conditions and was a little strange. What does Akuta mean? I had been entangled for so long over the ownership of the Bashang Grassland and the southern part of the Horqin Grassland, so why did I suddenly give in now?

Could it be that Ah Guda is preparing to go south to find trouble with the Great Song Dynasty?

"Ah Guta," Wu Haogu asked, "are you going to go southeast of the river to Tu Song?" ”

"Tuzon?" Ah Gu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Da Liao got 500,000 yuan from the Song State in the past, and now our family can't draw a scoop from the gourd?" In fact, this money is also deserved, and now the north is getting more and more cold and bitter, and the grassland is plagued every year. If the Great Song Dynasty didn't make up for it, the tribes on the grassland would not be willing to starve to death, and sooner or later they would be forced to go south! This is a natural disaster...... If it is not appeased well, it is a man-made disaster! ”

There is some truth to this argument. Wu Hao Guxin said: The weather is indeed getting colder and colder every year, probably the legendary Xiaoice River period, right? The barbarians in the north suffered from the white plague, and a large number of cattle and sheep froze to death, and if they wanted to survive, they had to go south to rob, and they became more and more fierce when they rushed to rob!

Wu Haogu nodded, and said with a smile: "If it's just a New Year's coin, I won't ask about it." If there is really any difficulty in the Northland, I will help if I have the spare strength in Dazhou.

Don't hide it from the second brother, my Da Zhou recently joined forces with the Song State to carve up the Jiaozhi Kingdom in the south, and got a good place full of paddy fields and fertile land...... If Dajin Kingdom is really short of food, even if I open my mouth, I will never sit idly by and watch it. ”

Ah Gu smiled and clenched his fists: "Then thank you." ”

Wu Haogu said: "Your two countries are close neighbors, and we should help each other and exchange what we have...... It is also time to discuss the mutual market between the two countries and the establishment of embassies between the two sides. ”

"Okay!" Ah Gu smiled, "When the alliance is over, let Xi Yin go to Tianjin Mansion to negotiate." ”

Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Then how about we hold an alliance in Yuanyang Luoluo next spring and formally conclude an alliance?" ”

"Okay, then it's a deal!" Ah Guda deserves to be cheerful and smiles honestly. However, in Wu Haogu's opinion, there must be some secret hidden behind Ah Guda's honest smile!

Otherwise, how could he deliberately stop at Mandarin Duck Luo and meet with himself?

But what is this guy up to? Southbound Tusong? The current Great Song doesn't seem to be easy to deal with......

……

"Wushu, do you think Wu Haogu will abide by the covenant?"

"Father, the Martial Sage is a gentleman who speaks his word, you can rest assured."

"But Jerodashi is his student!"

The meeting of Mandarin Duck Luo has ended, and Ah Guta father and son did not stay long, so they set off the camp the next day, braving the snowflakes in the sky and continuing to go west to Datong Mansion.

On the way, Akuta and Wushu mentioned Yelu Dashi!

It turned out that Yelu Dashi was the reason for Aguta's concession on the dispute between the Bashang Grassland and the southern part of the Horqin Grassland.

In the autumn, the divination people on the grassland sent an urgent report to Ah Guda, saying that Yelu Dashi, the king of the land of seven rivers in the Western Regions, led 50,000 iron horsemen to march eastward, broke the sticky eight Ge tribes, and collected all the people, and the momentum soared. Now he is leading an army of 80,000 to the city of Kedun.

At present, there are about 30,000 Khitan soldiers and a large number of Khitan nobles and households in Kedun City.

If Yelu Dashi joins forces with the Khitans in Kedun City, it will be an army of 110,000!

Moreover, the nomadic Tatars and Divination people in the vicinity of Kedun City have a deep blood feud, and they are unwilling to take refuge in the Jin Kingdom that has won over the Diviners, and they are still on the side of the Khitans.

If you count the strength of the Tatars, the strength of Jerodashi will be as many as 150,000!

"Father," Wanyan Zongbi smiled, "If you are really worried about the Martial Saint's betrayal of the alliance, your son has a solution. ”

"What's the solution?" Akuda asked.

"Does my father know that Wu Yanpet is dead?"

"Wu Yanpet?"

"It's the Pingzhang affair in South Goryeo." Wanyan Zongbi said, "He died of illness in the fall, and his son Wu Sizhao is a nerd again, so he must not be able to suppress the situation." Yin Yanchun, Yin Qiang's son, will not be convinced.

If Tu Junkyung of Northern Goryeo also died, Yoon Yanchun would be able to take the opportunity to recover Northern Goryeo...... Then he will definitely be able to overwhelm Wu Sizhao. When the time comes, Wu Haogu will have to fight Goryeo! ”

"Then aren't we going to lose North Korea too?" Wanyan Agu frowned.

"Father," Zong Bi said, "there are gains and losses!" And we have already scraped through the territory of North Goryeo in the past few years...... If you don't throw it to the Martial Saint, you will lose money next. ”

What the Jurchens scraped away from North Goryeo was not land, and they did not engage in real estate and did not need land. They scraped away mainly the population!

In the process of establishing the state, Jurchen society also developed, from tribal to tribal serfdom. And those who served as tribal serfs in the Jin society, except for the captured Khitans or the tribal people who were vassal Khitans, were Goryeo. Compared to the tribal people in the north, the Goryeo people in the agricultural civilization were extremely popular serfs!

Therefore, when Akuta formulated the Mok Meng'an system and turned the Jurchen tribe into a military-civilian Mouke Meng'an, he assigned some Goryeo tribes to each Mooke, almost dividing the young and middle-aged population of North Goryeo.

If the population is gone, the oil and water of North Goryeo will naturally be gone. So this piece of land has become a chicken rib for the Jurchens, and a piece of chicken rib is used to create a big trouble for Wu Haogu, why not do it?

"Good!" Ah Guda nodded, "Wushu, this matter will be handed over to you!" ”
