The submission of the Liao army is regarded as laying the cornerstone for the tranquility of the northern country, Dading Mansion is thunderous, the Liao army began to enter the city, temporarily with the army hun arrangement, the Liao generals have gone to the palace to see Wang Jia, dozens of generals held their breath and waited, their hearts were very worried.

In fact, although the auxiliary king still retains the title and official position, but this kind of promise has been made in all dynasties, but there are not many who are willing to fulfill it, the Khitan people are outsiders in the eyes of the Han people, and they are feuds.

In addition, there is another thing that makes these Khitan generals quite unhappy, for the Khitan people, the Great Song Dynasty has always been synonymous with weakness and deception in their impressions, and for tens of hundreds of years, when it comes to the Song people, the Khitan people are mostly despised. In fact, this is also understandable, just as the Song people laughed at the Khitan people for drinking blood, under the situation of the perennial friction between the two countries, the Khitan people naturally looked down on the weakness of the Song people.

It is not easy to completely change such an impression. For these Khitan generals, the Great Song Dynasty was still weak, and this auxiliary king was just an outlier, and now they wanted them to be loyal to the Song court, and they mostly disagreed with it in their hearts.

In fact, the matter of forcing everyone to surrender now that the auxiliary king is now looking back, it is really inexplicable, and I don't know if it is the ghost who makes the god send or what, that Shen Ao stood by the sword, Lu out of an inviolable state, and then listened to the words of the edict of the auxiliary king, everyone unconsciously lost the heart of resistance, and surrendered wholeheartedly, just like a dream. If you do it again and let them choose again, they may not give in as easily as expected.

But then again, these generals are really respectful and fearful of the auxiliary king, such a murderous person, with blood in his hands, is afraid that it is no less than that perfect face and bones, and the calm and unhurried attitude between the words, and the indifferent bearing among the ten thousand armies is very impressive. What's more, although this person kills people without blinking, but on the other hand, he is very restrained, he is obviously a powerful and unrivaled person, he dares to kill, and he can kill a person who can be killed with a raised hand, but he takes it lightly, which is the most admirable place.

Everyone waited anxiously for a while, then Zhou Heng came in first, and said to them: "Your Highness is tired, you have to rest again, you don't have to stand and wait, sit down, you will call someone to serve tea later, you use it slowly, this text is provided by the post bar friendly, the starting point is the first release, the text is only for learning jiāo flow, please do not use it for commercial purposes, if necessary, please buy the genuine version at the starting point." ”

When everyone saw Zhou Heng and Yan Yue, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all sat down, and they all learned the Han people's mouth: "There is labor." ”

Then the teacup came up, and everyone picked up the teacup, which was not necessary to drink, but always pretended to be a tea. This is what the auxiliary king told you to drink, and if you don't even look good, you may lose your head.

After waiting for a long time, Shen Ao, who was yawning, finally came, he changed out of his clothes, wore a Confucian shirt, and even the beam crown on his head was removed, only a scarf was brought, and he looked like he hadn't woken up yet, looked around left and right, raised his feet and came in and asked, "Everyone is here?" ”

All the Khitan generals stood up, clasped their fists together and said, "Your Highness......"

Shen Ao's hands only nodded slightly, full of style, although he was only wearing a Confucian shirt, but from the inside to the outside there was a bit of luxury, this is not that he deliberately wants to be arrogant, let alone deliberately want to show anyone, it is really this official has been doing it for a long time, he has always looked down to see people, and gradually developed a kind of lofty style.

Fortunately, Shen Ao still has self-knowledge, although sometimes he is high, but he has not yet reached the point of emptying everything, after sitting down, he took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "You are Khitans, this king is Han, now you must be thinking, the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty have been rubbing for hundreds of years, if this king does not admit it, this future will be gone, right?" ”

Shen Ao's words hit everyone's weakness, everyone laughed awkwardly, and the atmosphere couldn't help but become a little more lively, and a general said: "Your Highness is quick to speak, today Suo Xing will talk to His Highness Jiāojiāo's heart." His Royal Highness's great martial arts, we are very respectful. What's more, His Royal Highness has a great deal of virtue and politics in the Northland, and treats us Khitans equally, and he is very grateful for his humility. But then again, we are a little hesitant about His Highness's promise, in the eyes of the Han people, we are outsiders, can Your Highness really rest assured that we are in charge of the army? There is another one, there is a sentence that should not be said, there are also the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the Prince of the Prison State above His Highness, and there are some things that His Royal Highness may not be able to do, even if His Highness protects us and others, but if someone in the Great Song Dynasty is accused of treating us......"

Shen Ao listened to his words carefully, especially when he heard the words that should not be said, he burst out with laughter in his heart, knowing that you should not say it, you still said it, you are really full. However, people dare to say this kind of thing, on the one hand, because of many concerns, and on the other hand, it is estimated that they are also upright. Shen Ao said to this Khitan: "What's your name?" What is the position in Liao? ”

This Khitan humanitarian: "His humble name is Yelu Derang, and he was the envoy of Enzhou Festival when he was in Liao in the past." ”

In the Great Song Dynasty, the festival envoy has long become a nominal and fictitious position, but when you hear these three words, most of you will know that this person is not very satisfactory in the officialdom. However, in the Liao State, because the Jiedu envoy followed the Tang system, he went to the horse to the army, and the horse was in charge of the people, and the real power was very heavy.

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Yelu Derang, yes?" What you say also makes sense, and this king will give you a word of approval today. Shen Ao's tone was flat, and he continued: "This king can trust Li Qing and Wuda, but he alone can't trust Cai Jing and Wang Huang. Cai Jing is a Han Chinese, and Wang Hao is also a Han Chinese, but this king regards them as grass cowards. This is the attitude of this king, if he is really willing to be faithful, why should this king be excluded? But if someone emulates people like Cai Jing and Wang Huang, then don't blame this king for being unkind. ”

Shen Ao paused for a moment and continued: "In addition, this king has the final say on the affairs of the northern land, and the emperor will naturally lobby by this king to ensure that you have no worries." As for the crown prince of the prison country...... Ignore it! ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Ao say this, in fact, everyone knew the authority of this auxiliary king in the Great Song Dynasty, and the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty obeyed him, and the prince of the prison country and him were at most just fighting each other. Now that he has made this promise, he has finally taught people to put their hearts at ease.

However, Yelu Derang still refused to give up, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, there is another sentence that you don't know whether to say or not. ”

Shen Ao was amused in his heart, this guy didn't take it as a mantra, so he said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, just say anything." ”

Yelude lifted Jing's spirit and said, "Your Highness, we don't actually want to serve the Great Song Dynasty......

Shen Ao's face is already a little unsightly, and he dares to bump into a stunned blue again, or very stupid, this kind of thing you fucking hide in your heart, you don't say it, hello, I'm good, everyone's good, in front of so many people, isn't this a madness for this king?

Yelu Derang continued: "Among the Great Song Dynasty, the only person we respect is His Royal Highness, in the minds of the Khitan people, His Royal Highness saved us from fire and water, and the whole Khitan clan is inexhaustible. Therefore, others dare not say it, but I, Jerodrang, am only loyal to His Highness, and I am willing to saddle the horse for His Highness. ”

Yelu Derang's words hit the hearts of many people, the education and upper-class society of the Liao State have always been hostile to each other with the Great Song Dynasty, and they were taught to be sincerely loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, but of course they refused.

But Shen Ao is different, and although the Khitans are becoming more and more corrupt, they still admire the strong, in their hearts, this auxiliary king is the real strong, and there will be no psychological obstacles to bowing down to him. Therefore, everyone said: "Derang is right, we are only loyal to His Highness." ”

Shen Ao was speechless, and he was silent for a long time: "This is your true words?" ”

Yerod rang patted his chest and said, "There is no lie. ”

Shen Ao was embarrassed and said: "This is to teach this king to be embarrassed, this king is a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, do you want to teach this king to be disloyal?" ”

Yerod hurriedly said: "Your Highness is a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, but we are willing to be His Highness's courtiers." ”

Shen Ao frowned, hesitating in his heart, in fact, it is not impossible to arrange, after all, he, the auxiliary king, really has the right to open the palace and the three divisions, and it is justified to put these generals in his own mansion and grant them to the military attaché of the auxiliary palace, but doing so will inevitably make people suspicious, Shen Ao pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help thinking: Damn, the regent of Western Xia has done it, and he still twists and turns what to do, behave and do things but ask for a good conscience, who cares what others think, even if Zhao Heng is suspicious, let him be suspicious.

"Good!" Shen Ao didn't say a word, and said: "This matter is arranged by the king, you each retreat, the Liao army will start training again, half of the 200,000 Liao army will be cut, and the remaining Anchā military captains will be trained, and your official positions will not be changed for the time being." Let's do a good job and keep to ourselves. ”

When Yerod and the others saw Shen Ao's approval, they were all overjoyed in their hearts, and they left one after another.

Shen Ao sighed, sat on the chair and pondered for a moment, then Zhou Heng walked over from the ear room and said, "Brother-in-law really wants to appoint them as military attachés of the palace?" ”

Now in Shen Ao's hands, he has 200,000 Western Xia soldiers and 200,000 Great Song Dynasty sailors, if these Liao people are placed in the palace again, it is equivalent to adding 100,000 Liao troops, and with an order, 500,000 military horses can be mobilized.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Ao has doubts in front of those Liao people, after all, Shen Ao has already entered the clouds, and if he takes power again, it will be really unscrupulous. Fortunately, Shen Ao bumped into a strange emperor like Zhao Ji, otherwise if he met other emperors, he was afraid that he would have already gone to heaven and would be beheaded one day.

But Zhao Ji will not be suspicious, what about Zhao Heng?

In fact, in Zhao Heng's eyes, whether Shen Ao is in charge of 100,000 troops or 500,000 is actually just a number, only mastering the military is enough for Shen Ao to die, not to mention that there has long been a dirty relationship between Shen Ao and him, in Zhao Heng's heart, Shen Ao is already a person who must die. It is precisely because of this that Shen Ao is willing to accept these Liao people, for him, the more hole cards in his hand, the safer it is. Even if Zhao Heng wants to do it with himself, he has to weigh and weigh, a behemoth who can mobilize an army of 500,000 and is willing to serve himself, this hornet's nest, Zhao Heng may not dare to stab even if he is the emperor.

Raising soldiers can be ill-intentioned, but for Shen Ao, it is just self-preservation, in this world he has his own relatives, has his own children, has to plan for himself and the people around him, this text is provided by the post bar friendly, the starting point is the first release, the text is only for learning jiāo flow use, do not use it for commercial purposes, if necessary, please buy the genuine version at the starting point.

Shen Ao nodded and said to Zhou Heng: "Yes, the Liao people are willing to be loyal to me, why don't I laugh?" ”

Zhou Heng frowned, this guy was rarely serious, and said, "I'm afraid that there will be suspicions in the palace." ”

Shen Ao sighed and said, "If you are in doubt, you should be suspicious." Zhou Heng, you are also old, and your brother-in-law Suo Xing has something to say to you. The status of your brother-in-law, everything is given by His Majesty today, and in my eyes, His Majesty's great kindness will never be repaid. But once the son of heaven and a courtier, you should also know your majesty's body......" Shen Ao's eyes flashed miserably, and he said in a low tone: "Once the new monarch ascends the throne, if your brother-in-law can't protect himself, he will definitely be a prisoner, I am used to it, although I am also good at power and wealth, but I want to go back to the former carefree Shen Caizi, but even if I don't want to fight, are others willing to give up easily?" Shen Ao smiled coldly, and said with a firm gaze: "I must not lose, because I can't afford to lose, if I lose, it's okay to die a Shen Ao, but my wife and children will be implicated, not only them, but your father, Yang Jian, Yang Gonggong, Wei Jungong, Tang Yan Tang, Wu Wencai, these people will also be affected because of me." Things have come to a point, do I still have a choice? ”
