At the beginning, Chao Yong and Seed Master Dao also discussed this issue, but Seed Master Dao originally speculated that Western Xia would send up to 300,000 troops, and it would take a while to gather these many soldiers and horses, and at that time all the soldiers and horses of the Western Army might have returned. However, the time of the Western Xia assembly was significantly shorter than the prediction of the Seed Master Dao, and the number of soldiers and horses also exceeded the prediction of the Seed Master Dao.

After Chao Yong decided to defeat the Liao State, he led troops to aid the Western Army to resist the invasion of Western Xia soldiers and horses. Therefore, he was unwilling to fight to the death with the Liao State here, so as not to damage too many soldiers.

Chao Yong stared at Yelu Dashi and said: "Lin Ya Dashi is really smart, I won't hide it from you, Daliang really has no intention of going north now." However, my Liang is not allowed to give an inch of land, as long as you dare to cross the border, then my Liang soldiers and horses will definitely give you a head-on blow. If there is a next time, I will be desperate to lead my troops north to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, I hope you will not challenge my patience again. ”

Yelu Dashi heard that Chao Yong wanted to let them go back, and arched his hand: "Daliang has such firearms, which is enough to ensure that the land is not lost, and I will persuade my emperor to give up the southern expedition and make an alliance with Daliang when I go back." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Whether you can go back or not depends on whether your emperor is willing to pay." ”

Li Kui brandished the board axe and said viciously: "The prince wants more, if the Liao Dog Emperor is unwilling to pay for it, it is just right for me to cut it happily." ”

Chao Yong looked at the many captured Liao generals, shook his head and said: "Wouldn't it be a waste to kill, they are all strong and strong, if the emperor of Liao is not willing to pay, he will be sent to dig charcoal, Tian Hu has caused chaos in Hedong, but the coal in the capital is a little insufficient." ”

Tokyo has a population of more than one million, but the people in the city rarely use firewood, and all they use for burning is coal, that is, coal. It is not wrong to say that the large-scale application of charcoal has promoted the birth of a city with a population of one million, because without charcoal, it is difficult to solve the problem of firewood and charcoal burned by millions of people.

Most of the coal used in Tokyo came from Hedong, but Tian Hu caused trouble in Hedong. The output of coal has dropped a lot, and Daliang is temporarily unable to use troops against Hedong, so he can only let the coal fields under his jurisdiction increase their output to supply the capital.

After the defeat of Tokyo, a lot of such problems related to people's livelihood have emerged, and although Chao Yong does not care about political affairs, he still knows some of them.

When the generals of the Liao State heard that the prince of Daliang actually planned to let them go mining, they couldn't help but be so angry that their lips trembled, but with Li Kui watching from the side, they didn't dare to speak disrespectfully. After the defeat of the steppe tribes, they became slaves, and it was normal to be cattle and horses. Mining is not too insulting to them, and it is not enough for them to fight desperately.

What's more, they believed that the emperor of Liao would definitely redeem them, Yelu Dashi was a rare handsome man in the clan, and Wu Yanguang was the first brave general of Daliao, and it was impossible for the emperor to give up on them. As for them, Prince Daliang should not offer too high a price, it is estimated that it is a fraction of the ransom for the two, and the emperor has paid a large amount, so naturally he will not be stingy.

Jerodashi was not a pedantic man either. didn't say anything that he would rather die than let Liao pay the ransom, and he didn't threaten Daliang again, Liang was not afraid to go to war before the war, and now he has won for a while. Naturally, they will not accept the threat of Liao.

"I wonder how much ransom the prince is going to let my country pay?"

Chao Yong smiled: "I don't want gold and silver, as long as the war horse, a royal handsome man like Lin Ya Dashi, if I want less." It is also an insult to your Liao royal family. Lin Ya Dashi, why don't you give me a suggestion? ”

Yelu Dashi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Chao Yong throw this problem to him. After thinking for a while, he said: "Although I am a clan, I am already a side branch of the clan, and my identity is really not noble. ”

Chao Yong heard Yelu Dashi talk about the side branch, so naturally he wouldn't let him get mixed up, and said with a smile: "But Lin Ya Dashi is still the champion of the Liao Kingdom, and he is the general of the Southern Courtyard, so this status should not be low." Of course, if you say you're only worth a horse, I'll want a horse. ”

Yelu Dashi heard Chao Yong say this, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, if he was an idler, he could say that he was only worth a horse, but when it came to the official position of Da Liao, he had to be cautious. Whether it is the champion of the Liao State or the general of the Liao State, they are all prominent in status, and if they say low, they will inevitably be hated by some colleagues who have a rat's stomach and chicken intestines. Besides, this matter is also related to the image of the country, and the dignified Liao champion is only worth a horse, and if it is passed out, it will not make the world laugh off the big teeth and pass it on as a joke. But if you talk too much, I'm afraid that you will be attacked by other ministers when you go back.

Yelu Dashi, who has always been extremely smart, actually found that he didn't know how to deal with it.

Chao Yong was not in a hurry, turned his head to look at Wu Yanguang who was wearing gold chain mail next to him, and said with a smile: "Seeing that your status is not low, how much war horse are you worth?" ”

Wu Yanguang said angrily: "A thousand war horses, my own pasture is out." ”

"Not bad."

Chao Yong casually pointed to the generals behind him, and these people all said hundreds of war horses. One of the generals saw what the others said, and Chao Yong nodded, so he had the intention of stealing and playing tricks, saying that he was only worth ten horses.

Chao Yong looked at the captive in fine armor, shook his head and said, "Who brought the Liao general, who is worthy of ten horses to see me?" Cut it for me. ”

This Liao general originally thought that he could get through the trick, but he didn't expect Chao Yong to give the first killing order, and hurriedly said: "I'm worth a hundred horses." ”

This Liao general was caught by Suo Chao, who saw that this Liao general was well-armored, so he captured him alive to invite credit, but he didn't expect this guy to make him lose face in front of everyone, and he couldn't help but be so angry that his face was full of iron, and he pushed away the two captives next to him, grabbed this guy and pushed it outside.

Seeing this, General Liao hurriedly said: "I am worth five hundred horses, five hundred good war horses." ”

In fact, he is not as high as the previous Liao generals, but in order to save his life, he can only shout a more attractive number. If someone asks him afterwards, he will make up for it with the good horses at home, after all, as the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, they all have a lot of pastures in their homes.

As a military general, Suo Chao is extremely sensitive to war horses, and when he heard that this guy was worth five hundred war horses, he couldn't help but look at Chao Yong.

Chao Yong looked at the few people who spoke before, and said with a smile: "Could it be that your worth is not as good as his?" ”

After Liao was escorted in, he subconsciously let the person with a high official position stand in front, but in fact, the status was also obvious.

The few people in front heard the Liao general in the back shouting such a big number, and when they secretly decided to go back and teach him a lesson, they could only raise their ransom, but no one exceeded Wu Yanguang's offer.

Chao Yong heard Liao Jiang grit his teeth and say one by one gratifying numbers, which made people record.

After the last person finished speaking, Chao Yong said to Yelu Dashi: "Lin Ya Dashi has thought about it?" ”

Yelu Dashi said: "General Wu Yanguang is worth a thousand war horses, I just have one more clan status, even if it is 1,500 war horses." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Okay." (To be continued......)
