Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, three years have passed, for Zhao Yan, he has also traveled to the Great Song Dynasty for nearly twenty years, about all the things before the crossing, he is almost about to forget, and now he almost completely regards himself as a Great Song Dynasty, only when he sleeps at night, he will occasionally dream of the bizarre world in his previous life.

Three years is not a long time, it is not a short time, many major events have happened in these three years, although Zhao Yan is in a high position, he cannot pay attention to everything, but focus on some things related to him, such as the Liao State's purge of the Jurchens.

Since the Great Song Dynasty formed an alliance with the Liao State to deal with the Jurchens three years ago, the Great Song Dynasty almost always transported the materials to the Liao State, and then supervised the whereabouts of the materials by the accompanying officials.

It can be said that the support of the Great Song Dynasty in materials can be described as very hard, and the Liao State also regarded the Jurchens as the biggest threat to the north, plus Yelujun was threatened by Zhao Yan, so they also went all out when they cleared the Jurchens, and several elite Liao troops were sent to the battlefield in the north and launched countless battles with the Jurchens.

However, although the Song and Liao countries had money to pay and some people to pay, but the effect of clearing and suppressing the Jurchens was not very satisfactory, at the beginning, the Jurchens who were caught off guard did suffer a big loss, and were defeated by the Liao army equipped with the Great Song Dynasty opening and armor, and even Ah Guda was almost captured alive by the Liao army, and the family foundation that Wanyan had accumulated with great difficulty was almost scattered.

However, Aguta was not so easy to defeat, and after waking up from his defeat, he quickly made a decisive choice, which was to gather his men and flee into the jungle again. With the advantage of the mountains and forests, the Liao army did not dare to go deeper, and after a few months of recuperation, Akuta led the Wanyan troops to fight out of the mountains and forests again, but this time he changed his tactics again, taking advantage of their Jurchen hard-working and fast movements. Like a pack of wolves, it launched an undying harassment and guerrilla war against the Liao State.

The Jurchens were physically strong, they had grown up in a harsh environment, and their equestrian skills were so good that they could count a number of horses at once, and many of them could even eat, drink, and lazar on horseback, which also made them able to run long distances, maybe they were in one city yesterday, but the next day they ran to another city. Moreover, they also specially picked the transportation team of the Liao State, whether it was a civilian caravan or an army's grain transportation team, all of them were the targets of their attacks.

Although they sent several large armies to encircle and intercept Aguta, Aguta was like a slippery loach, and he was able to swim in the gaps of the chasing army, and even had the spare strength to set up a lot of traps. On the contrary, the army of the Liao State suffered heavy losses.

It can be said that in these three years, the Jurchens and the Liao State spent this kind of guerrilla warfare and counter-guerrilla warfare. Although the Liao State did not take advantage of this war, the Jurchens were also uncomfortable, after all, their number was too small, and there was no national support behind them, so they could only rely on the materials obtained from the robbery to live and fight, even if the Liao State exchanged ten lives for one life of the Jurchens. In the end, it was still the Liao State that took advantage, coupled with the continuous material support of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the materials lost by the Liao State could be quickly replenished, and with only the materials, they could recruit a large number of soldiers. So after three years of blows, the strength of Wanyan has decreased a lot compared to three years ago.

However, the strength of the Wanyan Department has only declined, and it has not been completely wiped out by the Liao State, and even although their number has become smaller, they have become more cunning and cruel than before, and they often can't be lurked for months, but as long as they are dispatched, they will definitely turn a town in the Liao State into a sea of corpses and blood, and the Liao State will also hate the Jurchens to the bone, but they can't do anything about them.

In addition, what worries Zhao Yan even more is that Yelujun has become even more ridiculous in the past three years, and several batches of beauties are selected to enter the palace every year, and there are no less than 100 famous concubines in his harem alone, not to mention those women who have no reputation. Moreover, Yelu Jun has completely handed over the government to Yelu Yixin to take care of, and the ministers below have not even seen him for several months.

Although Yelu Yixin is also quite talented, but he is a nepotistic person, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers who dare to go against him, almost all of them are killed or degraded by him, and almost all of the court are his cronies, these people rely on Yelu Yixin's power, and they are doing nonsense in the territory of Liao, which makes the entire Liao country a miasma, if the Liao State three years ago was only showing a trace of the image of the dead country, then the current Liao State is rapidly sliding into the abyss of the dead country, even if it is at this time Yelu Jun cheered up, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn the tide and save the Liao State from the crisis of the country's demise!

"Smack! Monkey business! In the study of the Yue Wangfu, Zhao Yan slammed a piece of information on the table with an angry face, and then walked back and forth in the study a few times impatiently, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart no matter what.

The information that fell on the table was sent back from the Liao State, and the content turned out to be that Yelujun was fascinated by Buddhism for some reason, but this cannot be said to be strange, because the nobles of the Liao State originally believed in Buddhism, especially Guanyin Bodhisattva was widely believed in the Liao State, and every year the Great Song Dynasty had to export a large number of Guanyin statues to the Liao State, and it was normal for Yelujun to believe in Buddhism.

But no matter what kind of things must have a temperance, the same is true of faith, proper faith can make people's hearts have a reliance, but if it is too fanatical faith, it can only become paranoid, and now Yelujun has become this kind of paranoia, he even disregarded the actual situation of the Liao State, and even wanted to build a large-scale Buddhist temple in the capital city, saying that it was to be compared with the Great Xiangguo Temple in the city of Tokyo in the Great Song Dynasty.

You must know that with the scale and architecture of the Great Xiangguo Temple, it must be a sky-high price to build, even with the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, it has become the current scale after several generations of expansion, but with the current national strength of the Liao State, it is necessary to build a temple of the scale of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the money spent is definitely more than 10 million, and it is impossible to bear this huge wealth consumption in the current situation of the Liao State.

However, Yelu Jun's idea of building a temple was supported by Yelu Yixin and his minions, because the construction of large-scale buildings like this is the most convenient time to make money, and it just so happens that most of Yelu Yixin and these people are insatiable, so they naturally will not let go of this good opportunity.

It is also in this situation that Yelujun built such a ridiculous thing in Shangjing City to build a large temple actually passed in the court, you must know that although the population of Shangjing City is not as good as Tokyo City, but there are hundreds of thousands, there are almost no large pieces of vacant land in the city, if you want to build such a large temple, the first step must be to clear a piece of land from the city, which also means that hundreds of families need to be forced to relocate, this alone is a big project, plus the cost of building a temple, It will also make Liao's finances fall into the realm of running out of oil and drying up, and it is likely to become the trigger for Liao's chaos or even its demise.

Thinking of the above, Zhao Yan couldn't help but walk around the room anxiously again, and finally stopped for a long time, but he sat heavily behind the desk, and then sighed helplessly, even if he has great ability, it is impossible to affect the Liao country, especially Yelu Jun, the emperor of the Liao country, has completely become a faint monarch, and he can do whatever he wants, and it is not something that others can stop at all.

Just when Zhao Yan was upset about the affairs of Liaoguo, she suddenly saw the door being pushed open, and then saw Cao Ying walk in, when she saw Zhao Yan with an annoyed face behind the desk, she smiled slightly: "What is the husband worried about?" ”

"It's not that damn Yelujun yet, look at the good things he did!" Zhao Yan said angrily at the moment, and handed the information on the table to Cao Ying after speaking, he urgently needed someone to let him talk to, and he also hoped that Cao Ying could help him come up with a countermeasure.

I saw Cao Ying take this information and read it carefully, with a contemplative look on her face, and only after a while did she speak: "No wonder the husband is so angry, Yelujun's approach is simply pushing the Liao State into the abyss of the country's demise, it is estimated that when this temple is built, it will be the day of the chaos of the Liao Kingdom!" ”

"That's it, Liao's finances are already very bad, and now Yelu Jun doesn't care about what temples the country builds, it's just adding fuel to the fire, thinking that he didn't die fast enough, but if the Liao country is really in chaos, it will only give Wanyan a chance to rise rapidly, and then as long as Aguta breaks through the blockade in the north of Liao and takes advantage of the situation to go south, I'm afraid it won't be long before most of the Liao country will fall into his hands." Zhao Yan said angrily again, he could not care about the life or death of the Liao State, but he could not ignore the threat of the Jurchens.

However, Cao Ying seemed very calm at this time, and saw her say indifferently: "Husband, you have spent a lot of effort for a little Jurchen over the years, but you have not been able to completely control the other party to death, if the Liao State is really destroyed by the Jurchens this time, it may not be a good thing in my opinion, and then our Great Song Dynasty will directly face the threat of the Jurchens, and with the strength of our Great Song Dynasty, it seems that it is not difficult to directly send troops to destroy the Jurchens." ”

"This ......" Zhao Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he also quickly felt that Cao Ying's words had some truth, since it was no longer possible to curb the rise of the Jurchens, it was better to prepare to destroy the Jurchens as soon as possible, the current Great Song Dynasty was not the Great Song Dynasty in the original history, and he didn't believe that the Jurchens would be stronger than the army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing that Zhao Yan was silent, Cao Ying suddenly smiled again at this time: "Husband, compared to the Jurchen affairs, the affairs in the capital are still more important, and the husband still thinks about what if this incident really happens, what should the husband do then?"
