Chapter 552: Confluence
、、、、、、、
Xiao Han was greatly surprised, and asked: "Palace master, you say that my Da Liao designed to frame Li Shouzhen, is there any evidence for this? Yes, His Majesty did summon Du Chongwei to Bian Liang for a secret talk, but at that time, he was preparing to make Li Shouzhen the emperor and consulted Du Chongwei's opinion.
It's just that he didn't expect that Du Chongwei's ambition was too heavy, and he actually attacked Li Shouzhen, resulting in two defeats and fears.
This also made His Majesty very disappointed, since even Du Chongwei refused to support Li Shouzhen, how could His Majesty dare to insist on appointing Li Shouzhen as the emperor? In desperation, Li Congyi was chosen.
The reason for this, the palace master won't be unclear, right?"
Xiao Han was full of lies, and of course the Yonggu Palace Master knew that she had gone to Du Chongwei for this matter. But this matter is empty-founded, no one can understand, and Xiao Han can only talk nonsense.
"Really?" the Eternal Palace Lord snorted coldly.
"Of course that's the case!" Xiao Han said with a smile, "Since the Yonggu Palace Master is here, there is something I have to ask the Palace Master for advice. The palace master is in the Central Plains, and he has organized so many rebels to fight against my Da Liao, so there should be an explanation!"
After all, the Yonggu Palace Master is the Yonggu Palace Master, and he can't talk nonsense with his eyes closed like Xiao Han, and said with a tiger face: "Let Yelu Deguang personally ask the palace about this matter."
However, whether Yelu Khan really sincerely cooperated with the Yonggu Palace, the palace was very skeptical. ”
"Are there few people in the world who want to be emperors?" Xiao Han sneered, "What does the palace master mean by saying this? If the palace master doesn't want your Li family's people to be made emperors, the minister can explain it to His Majesty." It's just that at that time, the palace master didn't blame me for Da Liao's words. ”
"If you can be the emperor, you must also be able to keep the country!" "The master of the Yonggu Palace did not give an inch, "Li Congyi grew up in the hands of women, and he was timid and afraid of things since he was a child, even if he was made the emperor, how could he keep the country? Could it be that when Yelu Khan cooperated with my Yonggu Palace, he thought of using this method to perfunctory the palace? If this is the case, the palace should consider the cooperation with the Liao State. ”
"Wow!" Xiao Han didn't fake his color, "At the beginning, my Da Liao only promised to support your Li family, but I didn't say that I wanted to protect your Li family for thousands of years." Your Li family doesn't have the ability to keep the country, who can blame it?
In the final analysis, it is still your Li family that is killing each other, otherwise, even if I had the help of Khitan back then, how could Shi Jingjiao destroy the Later Tang Dynasty?"
"You?" "You?" the Yonggu Palace Lord's face turned blue with anger, Xiao Han's words were poking at the sore spot of the Yonggu Palace Lord, and she also had a share in the events of the year. It was precisely because Li Siyuan's several princes competed for the throne that the national strength was wasted and the people's hearts were lost, which cut off the Later Tang Guozuo. It can be said that the Later Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the Yonggu Palace Master also had an unshirkable responsibility.
"You Han people have a saying, called the lesson of the front car, the teacher of the back car. Xiao Han continued, "Now that the throne is back in the hands of your Li family, whether you can keep the throne depends on whether you have the ability to do it now, and whether you can grasp this opportunity." ”
The Yonggu Palace Lord swallowed this breath secretly, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Well said! It seems that this palace has indeed peeped at the heroes of the world."
Let's open the window and say something, Xiao Han, what idea do you want to fight in Liao, don't be a palace that you don't understand. Don't you just want the Central Plains to fight for a bloody wave, and you Liao people can make a profit?
However, now that Li Shouzhen and Du Chongwei have fallen out, their strength has been greatly damaged, and they can no longer compete with Liu Zhiyuan in Hedong. After being weakened by Yelu Khan, the princes in various places were already exhausted, and it was difficult to take on a big responsibility, and it was even more difficult to resist Liu Zhiyuan. Although there are many rebel armies in the four places, their weapons are simple, and there are few decent armor, and a considerable number of them support Liu Zhiyuan. Do you think that with such strength, you can resist Liu Zhiyuan?
If Liu Zhiyuan calls, I'm afraid that all you do is just make wedding dresses for others.
If Liu Zhiyuan occupies the entire Central Plains, Xiao Han, how much benefit do you Liao people think you Liao people can occupy?"
Xiao Han also changed his tone, laughed, stretched out his thumb and praised: "The palace master is really a heroine among women, a heroine, in a word." It doesn't matter what I think. Between you and me, we need to be profitable for each other to have the possibility of cooperation.
You Yonggu Palace wants to rejuvenate the Later Tang Dynasty, and I, Da Liao, don't want to see Liu Zhiyuan enter the Central Plains so easily, so there is a basis for cooperation. Let's talk about it, what kind of support do you need from our Da Liao. ”
"100,000 sets of armor and blades, 20,000 horses, 1,000 arrows, 200,000 loads of grain and grass. In addition, the Liao army should immediately attack Hedong to contain Liu Zhiyuan and gain time for the Central Plains to train new soldiers. "The Yonggu Palace Lord made a direct request, this is the real purpose of her coming to Xiao Han today.
Xiao Han pondered for a moment and replied, "100,000 sets of armor and blades are not a big problem, and arrows can only provide a maximum of 500,000 arrows. Needless to say, if there is grain and grass, why should my Daliao soldiers and horses withdraw from the Central Plains? Not to mention the war horses, besides, the palace master, an elite cavalry is not something that can be trained well in a few days, what is the use of you asking for war horses? 20,000 war horses are not negotiable, but hundreds of war horses, I can be the master and send them to the palace master.
As for attacking Hedong, this one can't be done, but I can start Your Majesty, leave an elite cavalry of 10,000 or 20,000 people near Zhenzhou, and threaten Liu Zhiyuan from time to time, so that he doesn't dare to let go and attack the Central Plains. ”
Xiao Han calculated clearly that the Liao army invaded the Central Plains and captured a lot, and it was not too difficult to draw out 100,000 sets of armor and blades, anyway, these armor and blades were not suitable for the Liao army, and they could only equip those surrendered troops. And the morale of the surrendered army is weak, it is better to hand it over to Yonggu Palace, maybe the effect will be better.
As for whether the 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry who stayed in Zhenzhou could contain Liu Zhiyuan, Xiao Han didn't care, what he needed was to occupy Zhenzhou, the gateway to Hebei, and drive a nail in the Central Plains. With this nail, the Liao army can sweep the Central Plains whenever it wants.
The Yonggu Palace Lord had long expected that Xiao Han would not agree to all of her conditions, and now the rebels everywhere needed armor, blades and arrows the most, which was what she wanted the most. Grain and grass, war horses and clouds, but she made a promise, and it was of course the best to be able to get it, and it was reasonable to ask for it.
The Liao people stationed troops in Zhenzhou and did not garrison troops, and the master of Yonggu Palace could not take care of it at this time, if Liu Zhiyuan came over, with the strength of Yonggu Palace now, he would not be able to compete. The south of the Yellow River can't be saved, so what about Hebei?
After weighing for a moment, the Yonggu Palace Master nodded and said, "Okay, when will these things be handed over to this palace?"
Xiao Han said with a smile: "It must be played by His Majesty before it can be allocated to the palace master, the palace master, please rest assured, it will not take more than a month to leave or right." As for the ceremony of canonizing the new king, since the palace master has no opinion, it will be held in the next few days. ”
