Zhao Ji smiled, looked at Yelu Hongji and said, "Great Kangdi, you are an elder, or you should send someone first."

Song Liao is a country of brothers, since Song Zhenzong, several generations, according to the generation, Zhao Ji should be called Uncle Yelu Hongji. Zhao Ji said that Yelu Hongji is an elder, which is surrendering his identity and getting closer to Yelu Hongji.

"Okay, it's time for Xining to take a look at the demeanor of my Liao warrior." Yelu Hongji was in a very good mood when he heard Zhao Ji say that he was an elder, and waved his hand to let a personal guard next to him go up to meet him.

The 3,000 joint defense troops surrounded the ring layer by layer, and prepared a lot of large iron shields to prevent injuries from outside the ring. For the convenience of viewing, everyone attending the banquet was given a pair of binoculars in their hands. Zhao Ji personally demonstrated and taught Yelu Hongji how to use it, as if he was an uncle and nephew. After Yelu Hongji used it, he appreciated it very much and praised the exquisite craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hongji's personal guard is called Yelu Annu, originally a member of the Butiele tribe, tall, agile, brave, once fought a black bear with his bare hands, was valued by Yelu Hongji, gave the surname Yelu, and became Yelu Hongji's personal guard.

Emperor Shirakawa's samurai taught Fujiwara Jushiro, who was short and muscular, and looked like a strong ant. Fujiwara Jushiro was born into a samurai family and began rigorous combat training since he was a child. Judging from the murderous Tang Hand Dao performed just now, its strength should not be underestimated.

"The competition, although the point is over, but it is inevitable that there will be accidents. If there are deaths or injuries, it is also the will of God, and you cannot be held accountable. Without waiting for the competition to start, Zhao Ji said to the monarchs of various countries.

The monarchs of various countries nodded in agreement, and Emperor Shirakawa also agreed: "If you don't win, you die." If you fail, what face will you have to live in the world, and if my samurai is defeated, it doesn't matter if you kill him, even if your people don't kill him, he will have to apologize. ”

The Japanese are really not afraid of death, and when they say seppuku, they will seppuku. However, this culture was also brought over by China, and since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has been a scholarly culture in China. Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, and those who are confidants die and so on. It was transmitted to the Song Dynasty, where the culture was at its peak, and it became a scholar's temperament. In Japan, where the samurai class arose, the spirit of the samurai was born.

Emperor Shirakawa's words, when put into future generations, are an act of extreme contempt for life, and they will be spit on. However, in this era, it was unanimously praised by the monarchs of various countries. Nor did Jelu Hongji skimp on praise.

Jeluano and Fujiwara Jusanro saluted each other, Jeluano performed a chest-beating salute on the grassland, and Fujiwara Jusanro performed a bow that is unique to Japan when his nose almost touches the tip of his shoe.

Yeluanu roared, and the muscles in his body swelled, and even his height was half a head taller at once. At this time, Fujiwara Jusan Lang was really a child in front of Yelu Anu, and it was estimated that his height was less than half of Yelu Anu's. It's hard to believe that Japan has a chance of winning.

"Anu is practicing iron cloth shirts, and he has reached the highest level." Yelu Hongji laughed, and then looked at Emperor Shirakawa.

Emperor Shirakawa's face did not change color, and he seemed to be confident in his person, and smiled: "Three moves can solve it." ”

As soon as Emperor Shirakawa finished speaking, he handed over his hands in the ring. Yeluanu used the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai to attack Fujiwara Thirteen, and a big hand went straight to the façade of Fujiwara Thirteen. If there is no accident, just incitement three times, Fujiwara Jusan Lang will definitely lie down.

Seeing Yelu Anu's hideous face, Fujiwara Jusan Lang did not move. Everyone's eyes widened, secretly speculating whether the Japanese would be able to withstand a move. Loud moves, there are not so many showmanship, they are all one move to determine the winner. This is the same as Guan Gong's murder, when have you ever seen Guan Gong kill people and have to use a second knife?

The result came out, it was not Fujiwara Jusan Lang lying on the ground, but Yelu Anu lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. People with poor eyesight, or people who blink a little, don't know what's going on.

Just when Yeluanu's hand was about to hit Fujiwara Jushiro, Fujiwara Jusan Lang was amazingly fast, easily dodged Yeluanu's attack, turned behind Yeluanu, and hit Yeluanu with one palm.

Zhao Ji saw clearly that Fujiwara Thirteen Lang was short, and the place where he hit was exactly where Yelu Anu's lumbar vertebrae were. Zhao Ji was born in special forces, and he knew that there was a very weak point in that position that could kill him with one blow.

Yelu Hongji shouted: "How can you use a hidden weapon? ”

Apparently, Yeluhongki didn't know what was going on yet.

"Great Kandi, I didn't use a hidden weapon." After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he asked the imperial doctor to go up and verify.

The royal physician had Jeluanu carried him to Yeluhongji and asked him to examine himself.

Zhao Ji asked everyone to turn Yeluanu over, pointed to the two small holes in Yeluanu's lumbar vertebrae and said, "Two fingers were inserted, and the bone was broken." ”

Yelu Hongji's face was decadent, looking at his dead henchman Aijun, and he was at a loss. After a long time, he waved his hand, and let Yelu Anu's body be carried down, and then looked at Zhao Ji with a wry smile and said, "Next, it's up to you." ”

Zhao Ji was also in trouble for a while, such a killing method, it is difficult to ensure the safety of life for anyone sent up. Aoki can't be sent, his golden bell jar is almost a fire throat, not to mention, he is a monk, and his identity is wrong.

"The last will go." Seeing that Zhao Ji was hesitant, Di Yong stood up and said.

Zhao Ji looked at Di Yong, and then looked at the expressions of the monarchs of various countries, and complained in his heart that Di Yong was not able to do anything. Zhao Ji didn't want to lose Di Yong, but he didn't want to lose face on such an occasion. This face is very important, not Zhao Ji's personal face, but the face of a country.

"The last will go." Monk Aoki and Shi Bao stood up at the same time.

Zhao Ji missed Liu Qi a little at this time, if he was there, this competition would be foolproof. Aoki's identity is wrong, he can't go up, Di Yong's martial arts are good, and Taizu's long fist is also quite hot, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to win.

"Shi Bao, go and learn something!" Zhao Ji could only send Shi Bao up.

Shi Bao's strength, Zhao Ji also knows, it's just that Shi Bao has always used a sword. Now, the competition is boxing, if you use a sword, you won't be martial. It can only be said that the victory or defeat is five or five points.

"The last general commands." Shi Bao arched his hand, turned around and jumped into the ring.

"Emperor Shirakawa, can you still fight?" Zhao Ji asked.

"It's just a warm-up, it's not a fight." Emperor Shirakawa said coldly and arrogantly.

"Hmph, on the battlefield, no matter how high the martial arts are, it's a matter of an arrow." Yelu Hongji gritted his teeth angrily, and could only talk about the military strength of the Liao State.

However, Yelu Hongji is also right, such a martial arts master, no matter how many there are, it is a dish on the battlefield. After all, the military is not a single person. Goryeo once sent 20,000 such masters to the battlefield, called the Hualang Army. That is, an army of samurai who are good at taekwondo. As a result, in the battle with the Liao State, the Liao State Iron Cavalry first shot in a burst, and then rushed back and forth. Goryeo's 20,000 Hualang army was completely killed by less than 2,000 Liao iron cavalry. In the end, the capital of Goryeo was breached by the Liao army, and the Liao army burned the city of Kaeongseong in Goryeo.

In later generations, many people will wonder why ancient China did not destroy Korea? Zhao Ji was also puzzled at first, why didn't the Liao State destroy Goryeo? Instead, he set a fire and left after opening Beijing?

In fact, the main reason is that the civilization consciousness of the Korean people has been formed, and the consciousness of the peninsula civilization has been formed. You must know that the predecessor of Goryeo was not Goguryeo, but Silla, a tribe living in the eastern part of the Korean Peninsula.

Goguryeo was different from Silla, and Goguryeo was originally a feudal state canonized by the Zhou Dynasty. From the Qin Dynasty to unify China, the Han Dynasty has always been a vassal state of China. At that time, the meaning of the state was different from that of later generations, the state was a vassal state, and the administrative system of the Han Dynasty was that the county and the vassal state stood side by side.

After the collapse of the Han Dynasty, it was not until the Sui Dynasty that it was truly reunited. During the long period from the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, China fell into a period of competition for hegemony in the Central Plains. During this period, Goguryeo became more and more independent, and by the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a tendency to compete with the Sui and Tang dynasties for hegemony.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not crusade against Goguryeo because of Goguryeo's disrespect, but because Goguryeo, as a local government, did not obey the rules and had the atmosphere of competing for world domination.

For this reason, the Sui and Tang dynasties spared no national strength and must destroy Goguryeo. It can be seen that the war between the Sui and Tang dynasties and Goguryeo was not a war between countries, but a war between the central and local powers, and the Sui and Tang dynasties fought to maintain the unity of the country.

After the fall of Goguryeo, the Silla people absorbed some of the remnants of Goguryeo, and the culturally backward Silla people also had some Goguryeo culture and customs. However, they did not have a succession to Goguryeo. Including later Goryeo. Goryeo and Goguryeo are two completely different concepts.

The Tang Dynasty migrated part of Goguryeo to Hebei, and the Goguryeo people disappeared under the great integration of ethnic groups and were absorbed by the Khitan, Bohai and other ethnic groups. After the collapse of the Tang Dynasty and the establishment of power in the Liao State, the Bohai people moved eastward, which was tantamount to abandoning the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, that is, the land of the four counties during the Han Dynasty. These four counties were occupied by the Silla people and later became the territory of Goryeo.

The difference in civilization consciousness is the reason why the Liao State did not destroy Goryeo. The three kingdoms of Song, Liaoxia and Xia are all the same in terms of civilization consciousness, no matter which regime unifies China, it will only be regarded as the unification of China and the change of dynasty. If the Liao State were to destroy Goryeo, the Goryeo people would not think so, they would only think that their civilization was going to die out, and the country was going to be destroyed. The clash of civilizations is the fundamental conflict, even if the Liao State destroys Goryeo, the Goryeo people will not recognize the rule of the Liao State, but will only continue to resist. In this case, it will be difficult to rule the part of Goryeo.

Mongols, Liao, Khitans, Dangxiang people and other titles are all derived from the regime, and the Han people have all the three kingdoms of Song, Liao, and Xia, and their titles are not Han people, but Song people, Liao people, and Xia people. This title of the Song Dynasty is because Song Taizu raised troops from Song Zhou and seized the world.

In fact, the Huaxia Alliance, Goryeo, and Champong, like Champong, do not have this qualification. The Japanese are the descendants of the remnants of the Qin Dynasty, the Sanvijaya and Dali are the descendants of the remnants of the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi are the descendants of the remnants of the Han and Tang dynasties, the Khitan people are the descendants of the remnants of the Xia Dynasty, and the Dangxiang people are the descendants of the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. are qualified to say that they are Chinese. Only Goryeo and Champang did not.

Fortunately, the Huaxia Alliance also carries the meaning of the Buddhist Alliance, Goryeo is a Buddhist country, and Champong is ready to become a Buddhist country, so the two countries are allowed to come to the alliance. There is nothing wrong with Champa being a Brahmin state, but after the country was destroyed by Jiaozhi, the high castes of Champa have disappeared, and after the lower castes became kings, it became inevitable to consolidate their rule and convert to Buddhism.

Zhenla and Bagan are also Buddhist countries, firstly, because they are not Huaxia sub-states, and secondly, Dali and Jiaozhi will not allow them to come to the alliance, so there is no Zhenla and Bagan this time.

However, in later generations, as the Chinese civilization weakened, this civilizational consciousness was gradually replaced by the nationalist consciousness of the West. This has brought **** this problem to China in later generations. The Yuan and Qing dynasties were also often used to talk about things.

The concept of Huaxia Zibang is also different in the countries of the current Chinese Empire. This is also the reason why Yelu Hongji and Emperor Shirakawa do not welcome each other
