After everyone slaughtered the beasts in the wolf's den, they did not change places to hunt, and more than a dozen fierce men were together, and hunting the beasts was the same as killing chickens and pigs, without suspense or fun.

The group returned to the camp, the guards of the two countries had collected a lot of firewood and returned, and everyone roasted the meat of the beast in the camp and drank wine, talking while eating.

After the banquet was over, the soldiers and horses of the two countries took advantage of the warmth of the afternoon and went on their way.

Chao Yong led his soldiers to Xijing Datong Mansion, and Wanyan Aguta led his troops to Zhongjing Road.

Wushu said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, why did you give Shangjing Dao to Liang Guo?" ”

Wanyan said: "Most of the Shangjing Road is occupied by all the departments of the grassland, and we only have laid down the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing and a dozen state capitals on the border. Those steppe tribes were savage and warlike, and the Liao State did not conquer them at its peak, and we could not conquer them. Since the prince of Liang wants to conquer the grassland tribes, let it be given to him, if he conquers the grassland tribes, it will also save us from beware of the grassland tribes to raid. ”

Wushu said: "But if the Great Liang really subdues the grassland tribes, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not use those barbarians to attack us. ”

Wanyan Agu shook his head and said, "The grassland is different from the Central Plains, those barbarians will not be conquered so easily." Liang Guo is not sure that he will break the blood flow, in the vast grassland, the power of firearms is limited, and it may not be able to scare the grassland barbarians. And if we give us the steppe tribes of Shangjing Province, we will not be able to conquer them. If it is assigned to the Liang State, they will definitely not surrender easily, and if the Liang is warlike, they will go to fight the grassland tribes first, after all, it is their territory. And we can digest the Tokyo Province and the Nakakyo Province, and only the rear will be stable. Only then can we compete with the girder again. ”

The national border between the two countries is divided, Nanjing Road and Xijing Road belong to Daliang, Tokyo Road and Zhongjing Road belong to Jin Province, Shangjing Road is divided into two, and Linhuang Province and more than a dozen state capitals near Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Road belong to Jin State, and everything else belongs to Daliang.

Wanyan Zongwang said: "Just like the prince of Daliang said, Yelu Yanxi should have fled to Xijing Road or Shangjing Road, and if Liang Guo wants to occupy Xijing Road, he must capture Yelu Yanxi." Or conquer the various departments of Shangjing Province, otherwise Yelu Yanxi may lead troops from Shangjing Province to attack Xijing Province at any time. If Liang wants to occupy Xijing Province, it will take a lot of effort, let alone Shangjing Province. ”

Wushu heard the explanation of his father and second brother, nodded and said, "That is to say, we just threw the bones that could not be gnawed to Liang Guo, and we had to chew the things in our mouths first." ”

Wanyan nodded and said, "Yes." We've already eaten Nakakyo and Tokyo Ways, but there are still quite a few people who are resisting, and we're going to chew them up and swallow them in our stomachs. We can get stronger, and with more fighters, we can grab more things. ”

"I see."

In the other direction, Chao Yong led his troops to Datong Mansion. The Suo Chao Department was included in the Hedong Army, and Xijing Road was included in the Hedong range.

After staying in Xijing Road for a day, he led 40,000 soldiers and horses of Hua Rong, Zhu Tong, Zhang Qing, and Liu Tang to Jiashan, and Dong Ping of Ningxia Road also led 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 party vassal troops to Jiashan.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, Chao Yong led his troops to wipe out Western Xia. Ningxia Road was established, and the commander of Ningxia was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and the Ningxia Road departments were recruited one after another. After pacifying the Ningxia Road, the Seed Master Dao made a close attack from afar, and united the Shangjing Dao and Xijing Dao tribes of the Liao State to sweep away several tribes that took the opportunity to plunder the Ningxia Road. Every time the troops are dispatched. The soldiers and horses of the Great Liang did not want any booty, and all the cattle, sheep, and population were given to the tribes that sent troops to the Liao State. One comes and goes. The tribes of Ningxia Road and Xijing Road and Shangjing Road also established some friendships.

After the Jin State invaded Xijing Road, some tribes were unwilling to surrender to the unfamiliar Jin State, so they surrendered to Daliang, so Ningxia Road soon found traces of Yelu Yanxi.

Jiashan is a section of the Yinshan Mountain Range, the mountain range is not very high, but it is very wide, the southern slope is steep and climbs southward, and the northern slope is gentle, connecting with the vast grassland in the north.

Yelu Yanxi chose to flee from Jiashan, firstly because Jiashan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and secondly, because the Liao State mined gold at the foot of Jiashan, Yelu Yanxi could use the mined gold to recruit troops.

Another reason is that the mountains are lush with vegetation and many wild beasts, which can allow Yelu Yanxi to hunt to his heart's content. Although he has already faced the destruction of the country and the death of his family, Yelu Yanxi's interest in hunting has not diminished at all, and the routes he has fled all the way are the places he likes to hunt, such as Mandarin Duck Bo, Baishuiluo, and Jiashan.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses gathered by Yelu Yanxi fought several battles with the Jin State, and when they fled back to Jiashan, there were only more than 10,000 people left. However, Yelu Yanxi became more and more courageous, hunting in Yinshan on the one hand, and letting people continue to recruit soldiers and horses. A few days ago, Yelu Dashi and Empress Dowager Xiao led 5,000 Khitan soldiers and horses to defect, Yelu Yanxi executed Empress Dowager Xiao, everyone pleaded, and Yelu Yanxi spared Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Yanxi led people to hide in Jiashan, and constantly sent people to inquire about the news of Xijing Road, hoping that Jin and Liang would start a war for Xijing Road, so that he would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It's just that I didn't expect that the Jin State, who had always been fierce and barbaric, actually reached a peace agreement with the Liang State and returned Xijing Road to the Liang State. One day after the prince of Daliang entered Xijing Road, he led his troops to Jiashan.

When the news of the siege of Jiashan came when the news of the siege of Jiashan came from both directions, Yelu Yanxi hurriedly convened his generals to discuss.

Yelu Dashi said: "The 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jiashan are the hope of the resurgence of my Great Liaodong Mountain, and the Liang State will attack with 100,000 soldiers and horses, five times as much as me, and the minister thinks that it is impossible to touch the Liang State." ”

Dutong Xiao Terlie said: "If Daliang wants to enter Jiashan, he must first pass Yuyangling. Yuyangling is dozens of miles of winding and twisting, which is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we guard Yuyangling with 5,000 soldiers and horses, Liang Guo will not be able to cross Yuyangling with 100,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Yelu Dashi said: "Don't forget the battle of the Great Liang to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

The Daliang spacecraft crossed the river, and the news of the fire and thunder had already spread all over the world through the Di newspaper.

When Xiao Trio heard this, he also thought that Da Liang could use a spaceship to fly to Yuyang Ridge to bomb the defenders.

On that day, Yelu Yanxi was preparing to lead his troops to invade the south, but after Chao Yong blew up the underground Great Wall with gunpowder in Hebei and captured more than 10,000 people, he has always been afraid of Liang Guo. Later, I found out that the prince of Liang Guo had invented a spaceship that could make people fly, so I didn't have the heart to confront Liang.

If the Jin Kingdom comes to attack, he will definitely lead his troops to resist, of course, once the war is not good, he will flee again. But now that Daliang is attacking, he doesn't want to face Daliang's firearms and spaceships at all.

"Yelu Dashi, tell me what you think."

Yelu Dashi saw that Yelu Yanxi didn't seem to want to fight, so he said: "The minister thinks that we can temporarily avoid the edge, retreat to the area of the Northwest Road of Shangjing Road, and temporarily cede Xijing Road to Liang Guo." Liang and Jin are both states of tigers and wolves, and they will have a war. We can recuperate in Kamikyo Province and wait for the right time to come back. ”

Xiao Telie said: "If the army of the Liang State pursues directly to Shangjing Road, what should we do? ”

Yelu Dashi said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses of the Liang State have traveled two thousand miles from the nearest Ningxia Road to the northwest road, and the territory of the tribes has always been poor, and it is impossible to provide them with grain and grass. If Liang Guoqiang grabs the grain and grass of the Bu Ministry, the Bu Bu Ministries will inevitably resist desperately, and we will be able to defeat the Liang ** team if we attack from the side. If the Liang ** team carried their own grain and grass, it would inevitably limit the number of their soldiers and horses. If it's just 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses, and we don't need to do it, I'm afraid that the Divination Divisions will target them. ”

Yelu Yanxi clapped his hands and said: "Lin Ya really deserves to be the talent of my Great Liao Pillars, then we will withdraw to Shangjing Road and let the soldiers and horses of Liang State pounce on the air." ”

Taibao Yelut's mother brother said: "There are many rebellions in Zhubu, we will retreat to Shangjing Road, and we must beware of them taking the opportunity to make trouble." ”

Yelu Dashi said: "A few years ago, we suppressed the Mogus rebellion, and the blockade has been greatly damaged, this time the emperor came in person, and there were 20,000 Khitan iron horsemen accompanying him, so that the blockade would not dare to move." ”

Yelu Yanxi has no confidence in Shangliang State, but he is full of confidence in the various departments of the Shangjian Grassland, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about obstruction, spread my will, and tomorrow the whole army will be mobilized, and I will patrol the northwest road to recruit the division." ”

When Chao Yong led his troops to Jiashan, Yelu Yanxi and his party had been walking for several days.

When Chao Yong was sending people to inquire about Yelu Yanxi's whereabouts, a heavy snowfall suddenly came, and the snow was more than a foot deep and completely cut off Chao Yong's idea of pursuit.

Chao Yong summoned the leaders of the Yinshan tribes, the Bai Dadan (Wanggu) tribe, and Mo Gefu in Jiashan.

Under the invincible Tianwei of the prince of Daliang, the leaders of various departments stepped on the snow to come to the mountain to visit, and paid tribute to cattle, horses, camels, sheep, mink, and green rat skins. Chao Yong also rewarded the various parts with grain, cloth, and a small amount of iron. Chao Yong also regarded the small amount of good wine carried by the army as a rarity and rewarded it to the leaders of various departments.

The October day was already cold, and the wind was howling at the top of Jiashan Mountain, and the leaders of the various tribes immediately asked how to buy the Haohan wine after tasting it.

On October 20, Chao Yong led Hua Rong's troops south. As the Hebei Army, Zhu Tongbu returned to Yanshan Mansion (Nanjing, Liao), which had just been renamed, to guard against the Jin State. At the same time, Liu Tang's department was assigned to the Hedong Army, and Zhang Qing's department was assigned to the Hebei Army. After Hedong annexed Xijing of Liao, and Hebei annexed Nanjing, Liao, its territory expanded, bordering other races, and the border army had to increase.

With the war horses of the various tributes, the Huarong Department has all been changed to one person and three horses, Rao is so, and it took half a month for Chao Yong and his party to return to Bianjing from Jiashan.

Daliang has abolished the name of the four capitals of the Song Dynasty, and only Kaifeng can be called Bianjing. Although the four capitals of the Song Dynasty were all prosperous, they were all crowded in the Central Plains and lacked the bearing of a great country.

The Han people looked forward to the recovery of all the sixteen states of Yanyun for two hundred years, and they set out to welcome the prince's class.

When Chao Yong frightened Yelu Yanxi and fled, Wanyan Aguta also led the Jin savages to brutally suppress the rebellious tribes in Zhongjing Province, and Xiao Gan was captured alive by Wanyan Yan's mother, nailed to a wooden donkey and died of turbulence.

After Yelu Yanxi arrived at the Northwest Road to recruit the Division, he took advantage of the residual power of the Liao State to begin to conquer the various tribes of Shangjing Province, wanting to truly incorporate them into his rule.

The three countries entered a brief period of lull.
