After Guo Yaoshi passed the news that the Liao Emperor had promised to pay the ransom, Chao Yong asked the Liao State to build a pontoon bridge.

After Yelu Dashi built three pontoon bridges, he also left a lot of materials to prevent Liang Guo's soldiers and horses from destroying the pontoon bridges, and then quickly built the pontoon bridges.

Therefore, after Chao Yong agreed to build a pontoon bridge in Liao, the craftsmen of Liao soon built two new pontoon bridges next to the broken pontoon bridge.

The Liao soldiers drove the war horses across the river, and the cavalry under Dong Ping drove the war horses to the rear camp.

The generals of Daliang watched the war horses of Shenjun continue to cross the river, and their eyes lit up. Although after the capture of Tokyo, Daliang also captured more than 10,000 war horses of the Song Dynasty, but because these war horses have been in a comfortable state for a long time, like the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty that has not been in battle for a long time, they have to train to go to the battlefield again. However, the war horses of the Liao Kingdom are fat and strong, and they can be used as war horses directly.

Yelu Dashi watched his war horse continue to cross the river, but his heart was like blood, and he really couldn't steal chickens and rice. In the past, Liang Guo paid a large amount of silver, and he was reluctant to sell war horses to Liang Guo in such a large amount, but now Liang Guo has not paid a penny, but he has obtained these many war horses.

In time, the Liang State will be able to train a pure cavalry, and with the earth-shattering firearms, the Liao State may not be able to fight back at that time.

Soon, a thousand war horses crossed the river, and the Liao side also stopped to drive the war horses.

Chao Yong smiled at Yelu Dashi and said, "Lin Ya can cross the river first." ”

Yelu Dashi turned his head to Wu Yanguang and said: "General, cross the river first, I am an old acquaintance with the prince of Liangguo, and I have to talk about some border matters." ”

Wu Yanguang didn't want to be the first to cross the river, so he shook his head and said, "Let's let the soldiers cross the river first." ”

When Yelu Dashi heard this, he also said to Chao Yong: "Then please ask the prince to let five hundred people cross the river." ”

Chao Yong turned his head to Lu Junyi on the side and said, "Let all the Liao soldiers cross the river, let them move faster, and don't delay our lunch." ”

Li Kui glared at the bull's eye and shouted: "Didn't you say that the Liao State would send a thousand war horses, and we would release five hundred people?" Let them all go, what if they don't send the war horses over? ”

Yan Qing said: "What the Liao State wants are these generals, as long as they are there, they are not afraid that the Liao State will pay the bills." ”

Li Kui heard Yan Qing say this, so he was satisfied to help Lu Junyi drive away the Liao soldiers.

"Run, slow down, be careful to eat grandpa's axe."

Under Li Kui's fists and kicks, the captured Liao soldiers spread their feet one by one and ran to the opposite bank.

Chao Yong looked at Yelu Dashi and smiled: "I don't know if Lin Ya has anything else to talk to me about?" ”

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, "I received news from Xizuo earlier that a new firearm has appeared in Liang State, which is very powerful. But I didn't expect it to be so big, so big that a single explosion would fail our southward journey. The situation in the Central Plains is also clear to us in Liao. With such a firearm and a wise leader like the prince, Daliang will definitely be able to dominate the world. However, if you and I do not sign an alliance, I am afraid that the prince will have to leave a large army in Hebei to guard against us going south, and the pace of unifying the world will be much slower, so I suggest that our two countries sign an alliance and not attack each other, so that you can send troops and horses to the south or west, and we can also transfer troops and horses to the north and concentrate on dealing with the Jin country. ”

Chao Yong was not praised by Yelu Dashi, and said with a smile: "If you sign a covenant, there is no guarantee that you will not go south, didn't we have a covenant before, didn't you say that you went south if you went south." So whether there is a covenant or not, I will leave 20,000 men to garrison in Hebei. If you dare to take advantage of it, I welcome it, hehe. ”

Yelu Dashi naturally knew that no matter what, the Liao Kingdom would not go south again in the short term, after all, the northern line of the Liao Kingdom was tight, and this time he just wanted to see if there was anything cheap to pick up. Unexpectedly, Liang Guo was not the soft persimmon they imagined, and the first battle made their heads bleed.

Yelu Dashi also knew that with Yelu Yanxi's surname, he would definitely not take the risk of continuing to lead his troops south, nor would he let the general of Liao lead his troops south. Otherwise, if the general of the Liao State wins, wouldn't it prove his cowardice and incompetence.

The Liao State could only watch the Liang State unify the Central Plains, and with the strength of the Liang State, it was also likely to establish another dynasty in the Central Plains.

When the Liang State unified the Central Plains and its strength soared, it was difficult to ensure that they would not focus their attention on the north again, after all, it had always been the dream of the Han people to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun. And the Liao State made another move to take advantage of the fire to rob, although it had just sent troops and was beaten back, but it was likely to become an excuse for the Liang State to go north in the future.

Liao State is now only left Xijing, Nanjing, Zhongjing, Xijing, Nanjing are the boundaries of the sixteen states of Yanyun, if the Liang recaptures the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Liao State will only have Zhongjing, not to mention the offensive of the Jin State, it is difficult to say whether the Liao State will have Central Kyoto at that time.

Therefore, Yelu Dashi wanted to sign an alliance with Liang State, lest Liang State go north to attack Liao, and even like the Song Dynasty, join Jin to destroy Liao.

Yelu Dashi looked at Chao Yong and said helplessly: "It has been more than 200 years since the founding of our country, and it has been more than 100 years since the alliance with the Central Plains, and the two countries have always been friendly. If the crown prince does not form an alliance with our country, our country will have to send heavy troops to defend the border, and the northern front will inevitably be tight. The alliance is beneficial to both you and me, and I hope the prince will agree. ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "Lin Ya Dashi is afraid that I will settle accounts after the autumn, I won't hide it from you, now there are Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Tong Guan in the Central Plains, and there is a Western Xia invasion in the northwest, and I don't have the energy to go north in a short time, so you don't have to worry, concentrate on fighting against the Jin Kingdom." ”

Yelu Dashi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "After the two countries sign the alliance, our country can sell you war horses." ”

Although the Liao State has always strictly forbidden war horses to flow into the Central Plains, they were previously sold to Liangshan in small batches, allowing Liangshan to contain the Song Dynasty. Even if Liangshan accepted Zhao'an, the Song Dynasty's addition of a few thousand cavalry would not be enough to affect the balance between the two countries.

However, after Liang Shan conquered Tokyo, Liao immediately stopped selling horses to Liang. They just wanted Liangshan to contain the Song Dynasty, lest the Song Dynasty unite with the Jin State to attack them, but they didn't expect Liangshan to destroy the Song Dynasty and show strong military strength. Naturally, they would not sell war horses to the Liang State again, and they would not let the Han people form a strong cavalry again.

Yelu Dashi just wanted to use the war horse as bait to let the two countries sign an alliance first, and then find a way to delay the sale of the war horse, or sell less war horses.

Chao Yong didn't hesitate at all, and shook his head directly: "I can't afford it." ”

Yelu Dashi saw that the abacus couldn't sound, and he was unwilling to give up, thought about it, and said: "There are quite a few beautiful princesses in my clan, if the prince does not give up, I can ask the emperor to marry the prince." How about you and I get together as Qin and Jin? ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "The beam is not harmonious. ”
