Zhao Ji was immediately interested, and said to Fan Ning: "I want to meet this Han Fu." ”

Fan Ning said with a smile: "It's not appropriate for Your Majesty to see him now, it is better for Your Majesty to sit in the inner room, and the ministers will wait here to ask him for details." ”

"It's okay too!"

Zhao Ji sat in the imperial study inside, pulled up the sliding door, and he could hear the conversation outside clearly.

Not long after, Han Fu was brought in, he was about fifty years old, he was born in the Liao State, he has been an official in the Liao State for more than 20 years, and he is currently the governor of the government.

Fu Bi once went to Liao and knew Han Fu, he smiled slightly: "Han Zhizheng, we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

"It turned out to be Fu Xianggong, Wen Xianggong is also there, this is ......"

He looked at Fanning, and Fanning said lightly: "Under Fanning!" ”

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was rude."

Han Fu hurriedly bowed and saluted, Fan Ning waved his hand, and said very politely: "Han Xianggong, please take a seat!" ”

Han Fu sat down opposite, a palace maid served tea, and Fan Ning said lightly: "I heard that the Liao State plans to move the capital, but I don't know where to move?" ”

"It has been decided that the first stop will be to move the capital to Jinshan City at the northern foot of Jinshan, which is the westernmost border of the Liao Kingdom."

Jinshan is today's Altai Mountain, and it is also the westernmost territory of the Liao State, where the Liao State built a Jinshan City, with a thousand soldiers stationed, but when the city was built, it was never imagined that one day it would become the capital of the Liao State, which is just like the wealthy families in the city moved to the countryside and left a few broken grass houses left by their ancestors, so that several Song Dynasty ministers sighed.

Fan Ning frowned, he heard the words in it, so he asked, "The first stop is Jinshan City, what about the second stop?" ”

Han Fu sighed and said: "The Liao Kingdom has been semi-agricultural, and the northern foot of Jinshan is not suitable for the Liao Kingdom to build a capital for a long time, it is only a temporary foothold, and the place where our Son of Heaven really wants to go is Broken Leaves and establish a new Liao there." ”

Fan Ning's first reaction was the Western Liao, historically, the Liao State was destroyed by the Jin State, Yelu Dashi established the Western Liao in the area of Broken Leaves, and was finally destroyed by the Mongols, is Yelu Hongji going to take this step today?

Fan Ning said lightly: "It's not easy to go to Jinshan, not to mention that that there is originally the sphere of influence of the Naiman tribe, and there are also raids along the way by the Dadan tribe and the Lieshan tribe, how can you protect hundreds of thousands of women and children from moving west?" ”

Han Fu was silent for a moment and said: "As long as the Song army can open the net, allow the Liao State to move westward, and no longer rush to kill everything, we will be grateful, as for the grassland Xiaoxiao, we are not afraid, not to mention that with the Liao State in the west to contain the grassland nomadism, the north of the Great Song Dynasty will be peaceful for at least a hundred years." ”

"Han Xianggong is here for this?"

"Exactly!"

Fan Ning exchanged glances with Fu Bi and the others, and Fu Bi said: "We have to report this matter to the Son of Heaven, and then make a decision after discussion, Han Xianggong will wait a day or two!" ”

Han Fu took a deep look at the study door, got up and left.

At this time, Zhao Ji, the Son of Heaven, walked out and said with a smile: "The Liao Kingdom actually wants to move the capital to Broken Leaves, do you think it is possible?" ”

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Broken Leaf is the ruling center of the Black Khan, and the Liao State is bound to fight to the death with the Black Khan, in fact, Weichen feels that the Liao State moving west is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"How so?"

"The key is that sentence, the Liao State is now a semi-agricultural country, if they can really gain a foothold in Broken Leaves, sooner or later they will form a fierce confrontation with the Xizhou Hui, which will be of great help to us to recover the Western Regions in the future."

"Fan Aiqing thinks peace talks are possible?"

"Weichen thinks that he can give it a try, and Weichen does not advocate the complete destruction of Liao, the existence of Liao, it can indeed contain the growth of the grassland nomads, we can even reach an agreement with Liao, as long as Liaoguo is willing to go to the emperor, we can help him seize the broken leaves, on the contrary, if they refuse to go to the emperor, then the Liao country will not be able to move west to Jinshan."

Fan Ning proposed this plan Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo both agreed, and Han Qi also agreed, after all, the Liao State had no threat to the Song Dynasty, and the only thing that made the Song Dynasty dissatisfied was their emperor name, if the Liao State could go to the emperor name, this was a plan acceptable to both parties.

The next day, Fu Bi proposed the conditions of the Song Dynasty to Han Fu, the governor of the government, and Han Fu immediately sent the eagle letter back to Shangjing, at this time the main force of the Song army was less than 400 miles away from Shangjing, and in half a day, Yelu Hongji received Han Fu's eagle letter.

"You still want us to go to the emperor!" Yelu Hongji only felt a cramping pain in his chest, and he was afraid that his brother would see it, so he tried to restrain the pain.

Yelu Hongtai didn't notice his brother's abnormality, he took a closer look at the eagle letter and said, "The Song Dynasty said that they would help us appropriately to seize the broken leaves, what does this proper help mean?" ”

"What else can it be, it's nothing more than giving us some pig iron, could it be that the Song Dynasty will still give us iron fire thunder?"

"I thought I could give it a try."

"We can use iron fire thunder conditionally, for example, if it is controlled by the Song army, and the Song army uses it, we will not intervene."

Yelu Hongji was a little tempted, if there was an iron fire thunder, then it would be more likely that they would take down the broken leaves.

"How sure do you feel!"

"As long as we have sincerity, for example, the three unexploded iron fire thunders in Jinzhou last time, we will return them to the Song Dynasty, and we can't imitate them anyway, which shows our sincerity."

Yelu Hongji sighed, "But I still have to go to the emperor!" ”

Yelu Hongtai persuaded: "Going to the emperor is only temporary, in the future we will be strong, we can recover at any time, in order to keep the Daliao lineage, even if we endure humiliation now, we must accept it." ”

Yelu Hongji knelt down, kowtowed three heads and cried: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, Hongji failed to keep the Great Liao Sheji, and he has no shame to go to see the ancestors and the ancestors. ”

As soon as he said this, he suddenly covered his left chest violently, his face was extremely pale, his body swayed, and Yelu Hongtai supported him, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yelu Hongji's voice was extremely weak: "I feel the wrath of Taizu!"

With that, he closed his eyes and passed away...........

According to the edict left by Yelu Hongji, Taisun was too young to lead the military and civilians to open up a way of life when the Liao State was in danger.

He then passed on to his younger brother Yelu Hongtai, who inherited his brother's will and made Han Fu negotiate with the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of the Liao State.

Three days later, the Great Song and the Liao finally reached an agreement.

First. The Liao State will go to the empire and hand over the jade seal and imperial genealogy, which symbolize imperial power, to the Song Dynasty.

Second, the Song Dynasty allowed the Liao to move westward and no longer pursued, while promising to send troops to protect the tombs of the Liao's successive emperors.

Third, the Song Dynasty will treat all Liao people who surrendered to the Song Dynasty with kindness, without discrimination and discrimination.

Fourth, the Song Dynasty would assist the Liao State in seizing the Broken Leaf region and re-establishing the state in an appropriate manner.

Fifth, the newly established Liao State will be a vassal of the Song Dynasty for generations, and the Song Dynasty will support the development of agriculture and breeding in the Liao State, and promote the complete transformation of the Liao State into an agricultural country.

When Han Fu officially handed over the jade seal and imperial genealogy brought by the envoy of the Liao State to Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, the Liao Empire was completely destroyed, and there was one more Liao vassal state attached to the Song Dynasty.

Eight years later, Yelu Hongtai decided to wage war against the Black Khan and seize the broken leaves, he sent envoys to Tokyo to ask for help from the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhang Dan, who was the prime minister at the time, sent 2,000 cavalry with 300 iron fire thunders to Jinshan, participated in the war of the Liao State against the Black Khan, and made the most significant contribution to the capture of the broken leaf city, which is a later story.

On the third day of the agreement between Yelu Hongtai and the Song Dynasty, more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians in the city left Shangjing and began a long journey to the west.

This time, the Liao State followed the example of the Song Dynasty, in addition to the 70,000 elite army, it also organized a militia team of 100,000 people, and the armor was on the body, which looked no different from the regular army.

It protected the palace of Liao, the old and weak, women and children, and 200,000 carts, full of tents, grain, copper coins, rental treasures and other wealth, as well as hundreds of thousands of war horses and more than 10 million cattle and sheep.

Although the Song Dynasty spared the Liao State, it did not mean that the grassland tribes would let them go.

This big fat meat made all the steppe tribes blush.

At the Wuliang River, 60,000 people from the Liao tribe and the Lieshan tribe attacked by the Liao army, and Yelu Hongtai ordered hundreds of carts full of gold and jewels and millions of sheep to be discarded.

The relationship between the Dadan and the Lieshan tribe was very stiff because they often clashed over pastures, and this time they were barely entangled together for a common goal, but in front of dozens of carts of gold and silver and all kinds of precious jewelry, they were all red-eyed, and fierce battles broke out between the two sides for the spoils of war.

Just when the two armies were about to be defeated and both were defeated, Yelu Hongtai personally led an army of 70,000 to cover the killing, and the grassland coalition army was defeated, with extremely heavy casualties.

The Lieshan and Dadan tribes blamed each other, and each returned to the tribe with hatred, and the two sides have formed an insoluble hatred since then.

The Lieshan Department and the Dadan Department withdrew, and the most powerful Nabarian Department was difficult to support alone, and did not dare to act rashly, so that the Liao State could retreat all the way to the west safely.

Two months later, the westward migration team of the Liao Kingdom arrived in Jinshan City, and then took Jinshan City as the capital and began to establish a new Liao State, known as Western Liao in history.
