Chapter 442: Liaomeng Alliance (Jiagen)
Zhebu is no stranger to these things, he had seen them in the Su family army before, and he was envious at that time.
It's just that he didn't expect that the Liao people would have such a good thing, and for a while, he couldn't help but say, "You Da Liao also have this thing?" ”
This question made Zhang Jian stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something, "Hehe, it seems that General Zhebu is really well-informed, but this thing is not ours, but bought from the Song people at a great cost." ”
Zhebu, who was slapped by Zhang Jian, was happy, but when he heard that he had bought it, he also asked curiously, "Are there many such things in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
"Lots of money, enough to buy them. Hey, the Great Song Dynasty is rich, that's really rich, in comparison, our Liao State is also very strong, but in terms of economy, it is far inferior. Our Liao Emperor had no choice but to force them to pay tribute from time to time by means of intimidation. ”
As if from the heart, Zhang Jian continued to sigh, "The Great Song Dynasty is really rich, but the weak is also really weak, as long as we Liao people want these things, we only need Chen Bing in the boundary, and the timid Song people will send us good things immediately." ”
"I can't."
This time, without waiting for Zhang Jian to finish speaking, Zhebu interrupted, "The Song people are not weak. ”
Jebu used to be the first warrior of a small tribe, and he had no contact with the outside world at all. The only Song people I came into contact with were Su Jiajun.
Is the Su family army weak?
What are you kidding, that's an absolute strong army, okay. Even now, Jebu has more troops in his hands and is stronger, but when it comes to Su Shi and the Su family army in his hands, he still can't help but feel a little afraid.
"Not weak? Haha, hahaha. ”
At this meeting, Zhang Jian seemed to have heard a big joke, and couldn't stop laughing.
"What are you laughing at, they are really not weak." Zhebu couldn't figure it out, and his face showed an unhappy look, he thought that Zhang Jian was laughing at himself.
Seeing that Zhebu was unhappy, Zhang Jian hurriedly put away his smile and said, "I don't know why General Zhebu would think like this. Oh yes, maybe you are encountering the Su family. ”
At this time, Zhang Jian also thought of the Su family army led by Su Shi.
It was indeed a strong army, and it entered Liaodi, not only forcing Liu Liufu, the third envoy, to death, but also destroying tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, and playing the existence of hundreds of thousands of Liao Corps.
Thinking that Su Shi was the Great Song Dynasty who had turned back from Mongolia, Zhang Jian understood at this time, and after rolling his eyes, he quickly said, "General Zhebu should be talking about the Su family army led by Su Shi." Yes, it is indeed a strong army, and even our Liao army has suffered at their hands. But so what, the current Su Jiajun is long gone, and it disappeared after Su Shi returned to Bianliang City. ”m.
"Su Jiajun is gone?" Jebu asked, surprised.
In the past, the Kaqi tribe had to prevent the devouring of the Moge tribe, but later defeated them, and had to prevent the large-scale invasion of the Liao, so they had no time and energy to pay attention to the affairs of the Song Dynasty. The matter about Su Shi has long been cut off.
Now that Meng Yi heard that Su Jiajun was gone, he was naturally overjoyed.
"General, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is strong, and he will not allow his subordinates to exist who have meritorious deeds." Lakshen, on the side, although he didn't know much about the situation, quickly thought of something after hearing Zhang Jian's statement.
"Is that so? Then this Song Huang is really not a smart person. Listening to this explanation, Jeb said very directly.
Monti is particular about fists, and big fists are the last word.
If there is a Su family army in Monti that can be used for it, then they will not only not disband, but will also protect them and provide the greatest help.
Of course, this means that the Kaqi tribe is still weak, and if they really claim to be the king, there may be changes in psychology at that time.
"Hehe, it can't be said that it's not smart, this is also for the stability of the imperial power." Zhang Jian explained with a smile, and then continued the previous topic and said: "The Song people are weak, and the Song army is even more incompetent. Especially now, the Great Song Dynasty implements the policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, and the status of martial artists is very low. But those who have the ability and ability are ashamed to be warriors. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Song army is very weak, except of course, the Su family army, which has disappeared. ”
Zhang Jian has already said so obviously, this time there is no need for Lakshin to remind, Jebu has thought of something. "In this way, the Song people are weak, so you Liao people can grab good things from them at any time. In this way, it's okay for us to be blind, right? ”
Zhebu finally thought of this problem, and Zhang Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If he is dealing with a wise man, he only needs a little guidance. But in the face of Jeb, he had to say more.
"That's the truth, General Jebu is a smart man, so he should know what to do. Instead of dealing with us Liao, what else can you have besides getting some territory? ”
"Besides, even if you are given territory, you have so many people and troops, can you control it?"
"In this case, it is better to join forces with our Liao people to attack the Song people and tear off a piece of meat from them. Hehe, it's not a secret, we have formed an alliance with the Western Xia, and they will also send troops to attack the Song, so that the three of us will work together, even if the Song people are strong, they will be invincible. ”
Zhang Jian said these with a smile, this is the real purpose of his coming to see Zhebu.
Do you want an orthodox name?
I give.
You still want some territory to develop, don't you?
I give.
But if you want more, then we can't give it. Because we Liao people are not rich.
But it doesn't matter, you can go to the Song people and rob it.
The three of us work together, and when the time comes, it's up to each of us to grab as much as we can, isn't it?
Of course, Zhang Jian still has a purpose that has not been said. That is, in the process of looting the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that there will inevitably be some friction between the three families, especially the Western Xia, who is rampant and domineering, and they want to take all the good things into their own pockets.
When the hegemony met the domineering, the Mongols and the Western Xia might be able to fight, so that the Liao people could profit.
Fighting on the territory of the Song people, what does it have to do with you no matter how much you lose? On the contrary, the Liao people can also take advantage of this time to gather more troops, and when the time is right, they can turn around and intercept the back road of the Mongols, completely wipe them out, and it is not impossible to regain control of Mongols.
Of course, this is just a plan. Where things will develop in the future depends on the final result.
But in any case, shifting the goal of the Mongolian people from the Liao people to the Song people is the way to die and not die to the poor.
Zhang Jian had already made it very clear, and Jebu finally understood what the other party meant. But things turned too quickly, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he turned his attention to Lakshin on the side.
You're here to give me ideas, and now it's time to use you.
Lakshin looked at Zhebu and nodded, and then asked Zhang Jian, "If we want to do something to the Song people, what can you Liao people give." Don't say it, when you enter the Song Land, the good things you grab will be ours, we have worked hard, and those that should have been ours in the first place. Now I'm asking what you can give. ”
"Isn't it enough to give you the status of legitimacy, to recognize that you are independent, and to give you a piece of territory?" Zhang Jian saw that Lakshin was asking the lion to open his mouth, but he still wanted to bargain.
"Not enough." Laxon shook his head and said.
"We don't need your recognition to represent Monti. As for allocating land to us, there is no need either, because we can take it ourselves. ”
The current situation is that Mongolia is strong and weak.
The strength is not as good as people, and the naturally strong man is what he says. Even if Zhang Jian is dissatisfied, it can't change this fact.
"What do you want?" Zhang Jian decided to look at the conditions offered by the Mongolian people first.
"We want bows and arrows, we want weapons, we want food. It takes enough 70,000 iron horsemen for half a year, and after half a year, no matter what the result is, winter is coming, and we have to retreat to Monti. ”
"Impossible, at most for you... Two months. After Zhang Jian heard the conditions, he directly lowered the price by two-thirds.
"Five months."
"Three months."
The two continued to bargain.
"Four months, this is the minimum, after all, we don't know the reality of the Song people. If we are really invincible, then we will not be sent to death. In four months, even if we lose to the Song people, we will not suffer too much loss. If not, then don't mention the matter of the alliance again, it's a big deal to continue fighting. ”
Lakshin said that when the price was four months, he would not retreat, and put out that this is our bottom line, and it is best to accept it, and if it is not accepted, it will go to war.
To go to war, of course, is not what the Liao people want now.
The Mongols are as fierce as their name suggests.
The Liao people were caught off guard, and it took a lot of time to gather enough troops.
And in order to buy time for himself, it is just a matter of paying 70,000 cavalry for four months of food and clothing, which is already a very cost-effective thing.
Not to mention, the Mongols will fight the Song people next, which is a matter that greatly weakens the strength of the Song soldiers, and they Liao people wish that such a thing would happen.
First, the Su army entered the Liao region, and then defeated the Mongols, and the strength of the Liao people has declined very much recently. On the other hand, the Song people did not have any wars, and the results of one or the other were something that the Liao people did not want to see.
Now there is an opportunity to weaken the strength of the Song people, and the Liao people are of course happy to see it.
"Okay, four months is four months, but there is one thing to make clear, because of this defeat, we Liao people need time to gather a large army, we will not attack the Song land with you in the early stage, but we will set up troops on the border between the two sides to deter the Song people, so that they cannot come up with all their strength to deal with the Mongolian cavalry."
Some people died, but not completely......
