Chapter 330: Cooperation
What Lin Chong said, in fact, Xiao Gan also knew.
A few decades ago, in fact, the Jurchens were just like the current Hazy Bone Country (Blind Bones, Mughuls), with extremely simple and inferior equipment, not to mention iron armor, and even the arrows could not guarantee that all were iron arrowheads, and bone arrows were used when hunting.
But they took the opportunity to help the Liao State to quell the chaos, and asked the Liao State to arm them little by little, and every time they helped the Liao State complete a task, they came to ask for a reward, so the iron armor and various excellent equipment of the Jurchen tribes became more and more, and the strength became stronger and stronger, and finally resolutely raised troops against the Liao, and miraculously soared into the sky!
"Who can guarantee that these steppe barbarian cavalry will not become a terrifying force like the Jurchen barbarians in the future?
Moreover, these grassland and grassland barbarians are particularly difficult to exterminate, just like the Jurchens before could hide in the deep mountains and old forests; Once these steppe barbarians lose the battle, they can also scatter in a hurry and hide in the vast grassland.
Didn't General Xiao have no way to completely wipe them out after he won?
This is a group of hungry wolves, and now that the power of Da Liao is still there, they dare to rebel. Although they were suppressed temporarily, General Xiao himself said that they only fled temporarily, and once they saw that the Liao State was getting weaker and weaker, they would definitely reunite and tear off a piece of flesh on the Liao State! ”
Xiao Gan looked at Lin Chong and pondered for a long time: "What does the master mean by saying these words to the little one?" ”
Lin Chong looked at him and said coldly: "The Liao Kingdom is going to end, and the immortals can't save it!" You Liao royal clan and descendants, I am afraid that when the time comes, you will all end up destroying the country and destroying the clan! ”
Xiao Gan lowered his head, his eyes were gloomy, and he was silent.
"I can let you go back and let you continue the temple, so that although the Yelu Clan's Great Liao Empire perished, the King Xi of the Xiao Clan of the Northern Liao Clan can continue; The fate of your Xi people, and even the fate of the Khitan people, can be much better than the extinction of the dead race! ”
Xiao Gan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were shining, he stared at Lin Chong and said: "The master has such a big breath, looking at the world, as if thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are only in the palm of his hand." But I don't know what the identity of the master is in the Song Kingdom? ”
Lin Chong said in a flat tone: "I, Lin Chong, must be able to know me." Last year, it was I who killed the envoy of your Liao State in Bianjing, the nephew of the Great Stone Linya. ”
Xiao Gan couldn't help but be shocked, and said with a face full of disbelief: "You are the one who rebelled against the imperial court in the Song Kingdom last year, nicknamed Lin Chong, who is invincible in the blood trail!"
Is it the rumor you spread, saying that there is a minister of our Liao State who wants to rebel against Liao and attach to the Song Dynasty, and spread the news of the Battle of Hubu Dagang to the Song State? ”
Lin Chong nodded seriously: "It's me!" ”
In an instant, Xiao Gan was almost out of anger, the Liao State was miserable enough, but last year, because of the news released by Lin Chong, the ministers of the Liao State were suspicious of each other and accused each other (the other party was a traitor), which made the government more and more chaotic and the people's hearts more and more scattered.
Because of this, more than a dozen officials in the DPRK and China were purged, and this matter has just passed, and now this guy has once again repeated his old tricks, framing the clan Xiongjie Yelu Yu Jian, not to mention, but also pretending to be a Jurchen, sending troops to fight until the city of Jianzhou.
In addition to anger, more Xiao Gan was still shocked.
Unexpectedly, this Lin Chong only took a hundred horsemen out of the imperial court before, and in less than a year, he actually trained such a strong army.
Although they are under the banner of the Jurchens and stained with the glory of the Jurchen murderers, their combat effectiveness is also really not inferior to the Jurchen barbarians!
However, Xiao Gan was the hero of the world in the end, and the emotions of anger and shock only flashed in his heart, and he quickly calmed down.
Looking at Lin Chong, Xiao Gan said almost word by word: "Forgive me for being ignorant, what does the master mean?" Please also make it clear. ”
"What I mean is very simple, that is, now the Liao State is detached from morality, and Emperor Tianzuo is mediocre and incompetent; The smoke is everywhere in the place, and the people are rebellious; In the outer north, there are Jurchens who are fierce and vicious; To the south, there is me, and the Liangshan army has risen.
If I say that the demise of the Liao State is irreversible, you shouldn't object, right?
In about two years, when the Jurchens have completely eaten the land of Liaodong and digested it, they will attack Liao again, and then the Liao State will die! And I am the only one who can save you! ”
"Only you?"
Xiao Gan smiled coldly, with a lot of disbelief in his eyes.
Lin Chong didn't care, and also smiled coldly: "To tell you the truth, since the establishment of our Liangshan Army, there have been nearly 100,000 elite soldiers (in fact, far from so many), not counting the tens of thousands of Liao troops who surrendered to us this time." The combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the Jurchens, and the weapons and equipment are even more than them.
I'm sure you've seen our armor and sabers, too. Take the armor as an example, the light armor worn by our kidnapper horse is about half lighter than the armor of the real Jurchen kidnapper horse, but the protection ability is not inferior to the Jurchen, which is a great advantage!
Compared with General Xiao, it is also clear that compared with the Jurchen barbarians, we Han people are much more benevolent and righteous.
After all, they are all savages who have just come out of the deep mountains and old forests, thirsty for killing, brutal, full of animal nature, and do not know what benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are a bunch of beasts in human skin!
And I am a Chinese country, since ancient times, I have established a state with etiquette, pay attention to convincing people with morality, and value harmony in everything. In the thousands of civilizations and inheritances of China, how have we been tyrannical and bullied, and how have we bullied the weak?
In the past, when the Han and the Xiongnu, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and the Xiongnu and the Turks were strong, they disturbed our frontier many times, killed my people, slaughtered the city, and plundered the people as slaves.
But after we became strong in China and defeated the Xiongnu and the Turks, how did we treat the Xiongnu and the Turks?
Will we slaughter them in turn? Have you plundered them as slaves? No! Not only did we allow them to surrender and annex them, but we also allowed them to move inward and give them the best pasture...... In this way, I Huaxia, our Han Dynasty, and Datang can be said to be benevolent and righteous in treating the grassland aliens!
Take my conquest of Liao this time as an example, do I torture and kill the captives who surrendered? Do you treat you like cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and slaves? Compared to you falling into the hands of the real Jurchens, the treatment is simply more than ten times better, you don't deny this! ”
Xiao Gan's eyes rolled, and finally nodded, "What the master said is true." ”
"Therefore, our common enemy is the Jurchens, these barbarians who have just come out of the deep mountains and old forests to drink blood, and have more animal nature than human nature! There are also the tribes of the Misty Bone Kingdom that may rise like the Jurchens in the future. There is a basis for cooperation between us. ”
Xiao Gan hated it in his heart, and said secretly: "Then you still stabbed a knife in the back and pretended to be a Jurchen to sneak attack my Da Liao?" ”
As if seeing his thoughts, Lin Chong said coldly: "Don't think about it, this time I sent troops to the Liao State, all because of your Liao State's betrayal of the alliance, you dared to send troops to the border of Western Xia, contain the Great Song Dynasty and eliminate the Western Xia, it is you who betray the alliance in front!" ”
