On a plain twenty miles northeast of the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town, a dense camp is stationed here, speaking of which, this place obviously belongs to the territory of Western Xia, but this camp is under the banner of the Liao State, and the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town is not far away, but it is really strange that it does not care about this Liao army.

In the middle of the camp, Yelu Chongyuan, who had a white beard, sat behind the bookcase, looking at a letter in his hand with full attention. This Liao army is his subordinates, speaking of which, although he betrayed Yelu Jun's father and son, but did not betray the Great Liao, so his army is still under the banner of Liao, the reason why he came to Western Xia this time is naturally that he promised to aid Li Liangzuo before, but his army has just come to the side of the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town, but he received the news that Xingqing Mansion has been captured, which makes him unable to make up his mind for a while, so he is stationed here.

Compared with two years ago, Yelu Chongyuan is much older now, he is just fifty years old, his hair and beard are all white, and his face is full of wrinkles, his original tall and burly body is also slightly rickety, looking like an old man in a sixtieth century, but it is not strange that he has become the appearance he is now, first suffered the pain of losing his son, and then was defeated by his nephew, and almost died in the chaos several times. The whole person has also become much older.

I saw Yelu Chongyuan's old eyes staring at the letter in his hand tightly, and his wrinkled face was also revealed. A very complicated look, there was excitement and doubt, and even in the end, I saw him suddenly stand up, and then walk back and forth in the handsome tent with his hands behind his back, and those who are familiar with him know that only when encountering something particularly heavy and difficult to choose, Yelu Chongyuan will become like this. For example, when he decided whether to rebel or not, he walked in the study all night.

The problem encountered by Yelu Chongyuan this time is not much worse than the original rebellion, and even if he chooses the wrong one, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to return to Shangjing Yixue, but he will even be buried for his old life, so this also makes it even more difficult for him to choose. In the end, he spent almost a whole day in the tent, and he couldn't make a complete decision.

"Father, the Song envoy outside is urging again, haven't you made a decision yet?" At this moment, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man suddenly broke into the tent and said loudly, only to see that this young man was tall and looked a little similar to Yelu Chongyuan.

In fact, this young man is Yelu Cailiang, the second son of Yelu Chongyuan, but this Yelu Cailiang is not a concubine, but born to a concubine. He was not valued by Yelu Chongyuan before, and he didn't even regard the other party as his own son at all, but since the death of his eldest son Yelu Nerugu, Yelu Chongyuan really has no one around him.

Seeing Yelu Cailiang coming in, Yelu Chongyuan sighed and said, "You also know the situation we are facing now. As long as Yelujun recovers, he will immediately wipe us out completely. Originally, I regarded Western Xia as our ally, after all, our sphere of influence was originally close to Western Xia, but I didn't expect that Western Xia would be destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, and Li Liangzuo became a lost dog again. But Li Liangzuo's capital is occupied by the Song army, even if he has a firm foothold in the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town, I am afraid that he does not have much strength, such an ally is really not of much use to us! ”

When it comes to this. I saw Yelu Chongyuan patting the letter in his hand, and then Yelu Cailiang, who had a wry smile, said again: "Now the Song army sent an envoy to send a letter, willing to form an alliance with us, but the condition is for us to catch Li Liangzuo, but I have never had any good impression of the Song people, and I don't trust them very much, at this time they sent someone to say that they would form an alliance with us, this matter really makes my father can't make up his mind!" ”

After listening to Yelu Chongyuan's words, Yelu Cailiang's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible disdain, but there was no expression on his face, but he smiled and said: "Father, I also know that you don't trust the Song people, but this time the strength of the Song army has increased greatly, and the Western Xia was destroyed in a battle, it is no exaggeration to say that now the strength of the Great Song Dynasty has surpassed Yelu Jun, so for us, the Great Song Dynasty is the most ideal ally, and only with their support can we return to Shangjing, Reclaim the throne! ”

"I know what you said, it's just that my father used to target the Great Song Dynasty everywhere, and even ordered the Liao army to go south to loot many times, the Song people have long hated me, and now they want to use my hand to catch or kill Li Liangzuo, so they will form an alliance in exchange, I am worried that after I make a move on Li Liangzuo, the Great Song Dynasty will backtrack, and if it happens to us again, wouldn't it be terrible?" Yelu Chongyuan said a little irritated at this time, a Liao country has already given him a headache, if there is another Great Song Dynasty, then he will have no way to live at all.

"Hehe, father, why are you confused? I am more than eighty percent sure that Da Song really intends to ally with us this time! Yelu Cailiang retorted with a smile when he heard his father's words.

"Oh, why is that?" Yelu Chongyuan couldn't help but look at his son in surprise when he heard this, he knew that although Yelu Cailiang was young and was not valued by himself before, he was actually a person with great talent and vision, even better than his eldest son Yelu Nerugu, so Yelu Chongyuan also attached great importance to his opinion.

"Actually, the reason is not complicated, father, you just need to think about it seriously and you will understand." I saw Yelu Cailiang pause when he said this, and then said with a light smile, "At the beginning, the Song Liaoxia Three Kingdoms were established, and no one could help anyone, but now the Western Xia was destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, so that the situation of the Three Kingdoms was broken, and father, you should also know that in the past, the Great Song Dynasty was rich but not strong, and the army was the weakest in the Three Kingdoms, but now with the help of firearms, the army's combat power has increased greatly, so do you think the Great Song Dynasty will live in peace with the Liao State?" ”

Yelu Chongyuan heard his son's analysis above, and immediately came to his senses, and immediately took a long breath and said in shock: "Cailiang, do you mean that the Great Song Dynasty will make a move on the Liao State?" ”

"Yes, the Great Song Dynasty has always regarded itself as the orthodoxy of the Han people, and wants to recover the land of Yanyun, and it was bullied by my Great Liao before, and now after the strength has increased greatly, it will definitely not be reconciled, so I dare to conclude that there will be a war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, but now the Great Song Dynasty has just destroyed the Western Xia, the consumption is very huge, and the territory of the Western Xia has to be digested, so I am afraid that the Liao State will not be used against the Liao State in a few years, and Yelu Jun has also recovered his strength, so in the past few years, there will be no war between the two. It's just that some small actions will definitely not stop, for example, if Da Song supports us, it will definitely make Yelujun sleep! When Yelu Cailiang said the end, his face also showed excitement.

However, Yelu Chongyuan frowned again when he heard this, and only after a while did he speak: "Cailiang, you also said that there will be a war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, even if the Great Song Dynasty will support us because of this, but in case the Liao State is defeated in the future, it will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Great Song Dynasty, and even be directly destroyed like the Western Xia. ”

"Father, we won't be willing to be the lackeys of the Great Song Dynasty, let's just use each other, wait until we recover some of our strength with the support of the Great Song Dynasty, and then make other plans, if it is really impossible, it is a big deal for us to go west, as long as we have the strength in our hands, we can always find a place to stay, it is much better than staying here and being destroyed." At this time, Yelu Cailiang finally told his plan.

In fact, with Yelu Chongyuan's previous intelligence, he should have thought of this a long time ago, but in the past few years, he has been hit hard, not only has his appearance become very old, but his brain has also become a little confused, not only slow to react, but also a little hesitant to do things, which also makes Yelu Cailiang very contemptuous of his father, speaking of which he has not been valued since he was a child, and his status at home is only a little higher than that of a slave, which also makes him not only have no father-son affection for Yelu Chongyuan, but even have some resentment. It's just that there is no table xiàn out at ordinary times.

"I see, you have a good plan!" Yelu Chongyuan couldn't help but nod when he heard this, no matter what time it is, having strength in his hands is the most useful, and this is also his most profound understanding during this time.

"Father, the Song envoy is outside, why don't you meet him now, and then settle this matter, only if we can catch or kill Li Liangzuo, then this alliance will be decided!" Yelu Cailiang persuaded again at this time.

Hearing his son's persuasion, Yelu Chongyuan was also very moved for a while, but at this time, his old problem of hesitation was committed again, and he was still a little undecided for a while, and began to turn around in the handsome tent at the moment, but this time he did not hesitate for too long, and soon said with a certain footsteps: "Okay, you go and summon the Song envoy, and the father wants to talk to him face to face about the conditions of the alliance!" ”

"My son obeys!" Seeing that Yelu Chongyuan finally made a decision, Yelu Cailiang also agreed loudly with a happy face, although he had some resentment towards Yelu Chongyuan, but now the interests of their father and son are the same, and the benefits of forming an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty are far greater for them than aiding Li Liangzuo, so he is also very supportive of this matter.

A few days later, Li Liangzuo saw that he was about to arrive at the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town, but at this time, Yelu Chongyuan's army finally began to act. (To be continued......) R1292
