Yelu Yilie heard Zheng Kai's words and hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, we have fought several battles with the Turks in the west, and now the Turks have heard that they are also fighting in the west, so after the Turks have lost several battles, they have basically disappeared in this land in the Western Regions. ”

Zheng Kai saw the tone and attitude of Yelu Yilie's answer, and he had already guessed the matter, and he knew that Yelu Yilie's purpose for coming here was naturally what Yelu Dashi thought in his heart.

But Zheng Kai's idea is obviously different from Yelu Dashi's idea, this passage to the West must be opened, and even controlled by himself.

Therefore, it is impossible to always borrow from the Khitan Liao State to lead to the West, so there will be an obvious difference in the issue of cooperation. Because at this time, even if the borrowing was successful, even the Khitan Liao State was friendly with Great Xia, and it seemed to be excellent to cooperate to go west, and a major war was avoided.

But looking back with a long-term vision, this time does not represent the future, if one day this Liao country does not cooperate, it will not be good. The road to the west of the Great Xia Dynasty was naturally blocked again.

I heard Zheng Kai speak: "Since your father sent you, he has already shown his sincerity. I will not hide it from you, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia, I want the land of the Seljuk Turks, and I will force the Turks to submit with the strength of a large army, and divide the land of the bay for me in Great Xia. That's why the army is coming west, but your Khitan Liao State is in the middle of the road, so you can only go to war to open the way. ”

There are actually two bays, one is the Persian Gulf in the east of the Arabian Peninsula, and the other is the Red Sea bay in the west of the Arabian Peninsula. Needless to say, the countries surrounding the Persian Gulf account for 58 percent of the world's oil reserves, and all of them are high-quality oil.

The Red Sea bay is bordered by the Arabian Peninsula to the east, the African continent to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. From the Red Sea to the Mediterranean to Europe, countless voyages can be spared, and the entire voyage around the African continent can be saved. But a Suez Canal was also needed, and apparently there was no canal to cross at this time.

What Zheng Zhi wants is control of the Persian Gulf. Whether or not the Red Sea bay will be in the future is another story.

When Yelu Yilie heard this, his heart was relieved, and he revered his father even more, that is, he felt that his father was really like a god, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, what my father means is that he can provide assistance in this matter, send troops and food, cooperate for a win-win situation, and the army will go west together to open up the territory and expand the territory, which will definitely be able to subdue the Turks and make His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor fulfill." ”

Zheng Kai nodded, looked left and right, looked at Liu Zhengyan, looked at Han Shizhong, and after looking at it for a long time, he said: "This matter is a feasible way." ”

Yelu Yilie was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "My father's sincerity definitely doesn't have the slightest other thoughts. If Your Highness wishes, you can send someone into the city to see my father and the Emperor for a detailed discussion, and I may stay here as a hostage. When things are settled, go back to the city. ”

Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yilie were naturally full of sincerity, but Zheng Kai suddenly said: "However, this matter is not so simple, my father wants a road that can be unimpeded for thousands of years, and the Khitan Liao is in the middle, which is obviously unacceptable to my father." ”

Yelu Yilie was stunned when he heard this, he thought that the matter had already been decided, but he heard Zheng Kai's words, and he was shocked in his heart, the meaning of thousands of years can be smooth, Yelu Yilie did not understand the meaning, but he did not dare to continue on this topic. Jereh was not qualified to take a position on this matter.

"Your Highness, as for the details, Your Highness can send someone into the city to discuss with my father and the emperor in detail, and I can't be the Lord here. As long as there is a basis for cooperation, Great Xia and Great Liao can become unchanging allies for thousands of years. "Jereil is also wise, and this kind of thing is to trust his father's skill, and believe that his father can solve it properly. And in the words, it is also more or less expressing that Great Xia and Great Liao should mean equal.

Zheng Kai understood, his brows furrowed, but he still said: "Since Liao has such sincerity, it is also appropriate to send people into the city for a while." ”

After speaking, Zheng Kai looked left and right, and Liu Zhengyan had already gotten up and said, "Your Highness, let the ministers enter the city to see Yelu Dashi, and others can't tell you about these things." Only the minister knows best. ”

Zheng Kai thought about it a few times when he heard this, and then nodded in response to the matter.

When the feast was over, he arranged for Jeremy to rest. And inside the tent was the lights were shining. Zheng Kai and a few people were already discussing this matter again, and Liu Zhengyan was thinking about it, how to say it, and how to negotiate with Yelu Dashi.

But it was Liu Zhengyan, Zheng Kai and others, probably not expecting that there would be such a negotiation, and they were all ready for a big battle.

The wisdom of Yelu Dashi is also extraordinary. This wisdom has nothing to do with the battle of will to win or lose the war, but only in the interests of the country.

In the winter of the second year of Zhang Wu, the north of Yanyun.

As the Jurchens were blocked out of Liaoyang Mansion, they were even blocked north of Huanglong Mansion. The land outside the gate is slowly returning to its former life.

Even businessmen from Hebei or Yanyun will buy properties outside the Guan, and there are many military men from Yanyun, Hebei, and even the military men of the Liao people in the past, and the land rewarded is outside the Guan.

In the first year or two, most of these military men who were rewarded by the land outside the customs were not very acceptable. As the battle situation became more stable, it gradually advanced north with the occupied line. These rewards became more and more valuable, and even the families of some military men were willing to migrate north.

Those who do not want to migrate will also sell their land at a low price, and there are countless people who are willing to spend money to buy it. The land transactions in the land areas inside the customs are extremely strictly controlled by the imperial court, but the land transactions in the places outside the customs are not controlled at all.

This is also a way to attract more people to buy real estate outside the border, although it seems to be just a sale. But the impact was huge, and when the Jurchen rebellion was completely quelled, it also brought about the migration of people.

There are still too few Han people outside the Guanwai, but the land is not barren, and the black soil is also a granary. This will also be the land of fish and rice.

Winter begins earlier here than elsewhere, and snow has begun to cover the ground.

Yue Fei came out of Weizhou City, not far south of Huanglongfu City, his horse's hooves stepping on the snow, walking slowly.

The white cotton armor is dotted with countless copper rivets, and the cotton armor is lined with pieces of iron, and inside the cotton armor is the cotton jacket. This kind of armor is actually something that only exists in the Ming Dynasty, but it appeared in the northeast at this time hundreds of years in advance.

Columns of white armor marched in the snow on horseback, and the huge artillery carriages were even more mired in the mud under the snow. Horses and men kept pulling the cannon forward.

A knight on horseback, a long knife at his waist, a musket on his shoulder, and a bayonet in front of the musket. More than 10,000 muskets took more than a year to build.

The training of the musket also took several months. At this time, it was Yue Fei, who was also carrying a musket, and the three-stone hard bow was also on horseback.

Huanglongfu is already a lonely city, and to the north of Huanglongfu, there are actually a few low cities, but it is of little significance.

Only this Huanglongfu City can be regarded as a fortress. It was also this fortress that became the last line of defense for the Jurchens.

However, there are more and more artillery pieces from Hebei, and now, there are more than 400 giant cannons, and more than 400 giant cannons have been divided into several artillery positions outside the city of Huanglongfu.

Many of the gunners were new recruits. From the Cangzhou Artillery Academy, which was separated from the martial arts school.

The Lecture Martial Arts Academy is now divided into many academies, naval academies, artillery academies, grassroots officer academies, and military science and technology academies.

The Martial Arts School has now become a college for war research and war command, and in fact it is a necessary academy for the promotion of officers.

The nervousness of the recruits, in the eyes of the veterans, does not care. Most of them also know that after the First World War, these recruits naturally became veterans.

It is also because the construction of today's army and the training of new recruits are not as crude as before. The quality of these recruits is excellent, their psychological quality is also cultivated, and their discipline is extremely strict. There is only one sublimation of actual combat.

These changes are also inseparable from the establishment of military academies and the quality of officers. The training of new recruits is closely related to the quality of officers and the building of their psychology.

Now, the army of the Great Xia Dynasty has already had a set of extremely mature psychological construction methods. From the concept of the family and the country, to the cultivation of nationalism, to the popularization of history and education. Zheng Zhi personally participated in the construction of this system.

This is also the essence of the army's education of courage and loyalty.

The gunner calculates the distance one at a time, comparing the table of ballistics and design angles. Seriously and nervously doing all the preparations stipulated in the "Gunner's Rules".

Yue Fei is no longer young, he has been thirty-six years old in a few years, and the greenness on his face has long disappeared, only the fortitude on his face.

Yue Fei's youth was spent in the north, and the heavy snow fell every year, and it was no wonder that he had long been surprised.

The Great Song Dynasty in the past has long been just a memory. Yue Fei didn't even personally participate in the changes of that era, and in the northern land outside this pass, even the news of the change of dynasty came very late.

Yue Fei could only passively accept all this, a little sad, but also a little longing. Every time he returns to Hebei, Yue Fei will always go through a process of insight.

Just like the cement that strengthened the city defense of Liaoyang, the cannon bombardment on the cement city wall only left a mark.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the society is becoming more and more prosperous. All these changes also made Yue Fei more and more longing for the future of this Chinese country.

For the loyalty of the nation-state, Yue Fei is no less than anyone else. Therefore, for this big war that the imperial court has been preparing for several years, Yue Fei is also more conscientious than anyone else.

Yue Fei stood under the city head, looking at the Jurchens on the city head, and seemed to still see the fear on the Jurchens' faces.

Huanglong Mansion has not experienced shelling, but it has never seen so many artillery. The original shelling could only be regarded as harassment at best, and a dozen guns were still many.

It was also Yue Fei who took over a new artillery piece every time, and would always send someone to the city to test it to see if the power of this artillery was as powerful as the official document said.

But the Jurchens never expected that the Han people would come again this time, and there would be so many artillery.

The defender at the head of the city is Yue Fei's old opponent, and now he is getting older and more inseparable. The two are fatalistic enemies.

Wrapped in a thick mink, several layers of bloated mink were wrapped in widened iron armor, looking at the army being prepared outside the city with a gloomy face, there were many surprises in his heart, from the strange-shaped gun, to the white rivet armor, to the hundreds of cannons.

The ominous premonition in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.

It has witnessed the rise of the Jurchens, the glory of the Jurchens, and the years when the Jurchens were invincible.

Although the life in the forest is not strange, but the glory of the flower world in the past always makes the heart full of fire.

The longing for the army to go south once again has gone from the earliest fiery to the obvious slow dissipation.

I don't feel a little tired, physically and mentally exhausted.

Wanyan Wu Qimai has passed away, and if it weren't for the fire in his heart, he was afraid that he would have already passed away at this time. But now, his body is also holding on to his last breath, and it is already the end of the crossbow.

Wanyan sticky Han's health is not very good, and he is running around on business every day, and he has a lot of excitement and some longing in his heart.

This Jurchen country, just like the body that is not separated from the sticky Han, the sun is setting. In the land of white mountains and black waters, life in the jungle is too tiring.

Perhaps it is also the sorrow of this Jurchen country, so that he has not survived with Muhan for many years, and he does not dare to die, for fear that he will die, and this Jurchen country will be wiped out from then on.

Only after the completion of the Yan Wushu, the body is not bad.

Now Emperor Dajin is the eldest son and grandson of Aguta, and he is also Wanyan Hara, a young man who has just turned 20 this year. It is also Wu Qimai's posthumous life, the Jurchen country, whether it is at the beginning of the founding of the country, or when the country is destroyed, the issue of royal inheritance is extremely admirable.

Wu Qimai returned the throne to the eldest brother's grandson. When Dajin was destroyed by the Mongols, Jin Aizong hanged himself, and the new emperor ascended the throne for only an hour, and died on the spot. This point is much better than Yelu Yanxi or Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's generation.

Not only did he not command the soldiers to prepare to defend the city, but he also knew that these Jurchen men were already familiar with the dead and did not need to command and dispatch. The only thing he could not do was to take up his spear, stand on top of the city, and let the cold wind pass by.

"Dashuai, that Yue Fei's tens of thousands of troops are exhausted this time, and hundreds of cannons are out, it must be endless, Huanglong Mansion is in danger, Dashuai is a royal noble, he can't easily take risks. Please also go north quickly. An old soldier with a gray beard next to him spoke.

He didn't hear anything, just shook his head, stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, and said, "Do you know why Yue Fei didn't besiege the city?" ”

The old general shook his head and said, "Yue Fei must be short of troops, so by gathering troops like this, he can break the city faster." ”

He still shook his head: "You are wrong, Yue Fei stayed in Beicheng, he let us run, and the method of encircling three and missing one is the law recorded in the Han soldiers' books." ”

In the past ten years, I have finally learned Chinese characters, understood the books of the Han people, and understood the military books of the Han people.

The veteran general was stunned when he heard this, this kind of tactics is actually incompatible with the Jurchen tactics. The Jurchen hunting method, where can I put a gap? The prey must be surrounded and killed in the crowd in order to hunt rations.

The Jurchens' tactics have always been indomitable, attacking fiercely. It is also by relying on this kind of brave and fierce attack that we can survive a hundred battles.

The old army general understood it, but he didn't have the heart to care about these tactics and the like, so he hurriedly said: "Marshal, let's go." You just go to the woods, there are veterans here and I will not retreat. If this city is destined to be broken, it will also be after the death of the veteran. ”

The Jurchen royal family has long been in the forest. Those who remain here can only be separated.

But he still shook his head and said: "It's been a long time, if it's destined to be like this, then let's die together." ”

Not to mention the separation very calmly, for the Jurchen men at this time, death has never been a terrible thing.

When the old general heard this, he already ignored the humility of the upper and lower levels, stretched out his hand to pull the arm that could not be separated, and said anxiously: "Marshal, let's go, go into the forest, Yue Fei will definitely not dare to chase into the forest." ”

He gently pulled his arm out of the old general's hand, and did not speak, but shook his head. Still watching the army rushing outside the city,
