The open struggle between the Great Zhou and the Great Jin has not yet begun, but the secret struggle has been staged for several rounds.

Wu Haogu took advantage of his maritime advantages and strong financial resources to make a move behind the Great Jin Kingdom.

Aguda made a move westward situation and made a move in Datong Prefecture, obviously to wipe out the territory of Xijing Road, Liao Kingdom!

This move is an immortal move, which can break the dilemma of the Jurchens being blocked from the way south. At the same time, it can also resolve the tricks of Wu Haogu winning over the savage Jurchens.

But this is not the most wonderful thing about the westward migration. The most beneficial thing for the Jurchens is to control the passage from Hedong and Shuofang to the Central Plains!

As winter approaches, tribes on the grasslands in northern Desert will eventually find a way out. If the Great Zhou Kingdom uses the fortress wall to block the grasslands on the dam, the Korqin grassland and the Liaohe plain, then in Hedong, Shuofang will be the only two channels for the ethnic minorities in the grassland to move south.

If both channels are controlled by the Jurchens, then the strong men on the grassland can only be able to grab wealth from the rich and warm Central Plains by obeying the Jurchens’ command.

Moreover, the Xijing Road of the Liao Kingdom also includes some of the southern desert grasslands and the Hetao grasslands.

These two places are so warm and rich compared to the northern desert grasslands. Whether it is Shubu, Menggu or Tatar, they must be drooling at these two grasslands.

With the southward passage and Monan and Hetao grassland, the Jurchens could win over a group of grassland younger brothers.

With the help of the thugs and grassland thugs like Menggu, it would be impossible for the Great Jin Kingdom to go south...

In fact, after the territory of the Liaohe River Basin, the Liaodong Peninsula, the western mountainous areas, the Bashang Grassland and the Korqin Grassland were controlled by the Great Zhou Republic, the Jurchens at the peak would inevitably develop into the grassland. In order to win the support of the grassland tribes, the Great Jin Kingdom had to act as the "robber leader" among the northern ethnic minorities.

After thinking through Aguda's current situation, Wu Haogu had to sigh: "Aguda's second brother (Wu Haogu and Wu Yashu are brothers, so you can also call Aguda's second brother). If you want to hit the dam, you will naturally not stop him, and you will not be able to stop him.

However, I am helping the ranch knights in Dongliao divide the pastures and build the wall docks. When most of the wall docks of the ranch knights are completed, the grasslands on the bashang will not be a place to enter and exit casually."

The Bashang Grassland and the southern part of the Korqin Grassland are now a disputed area between the Zhou and the Jin Kingdom, and there is no formal demarcation. However, the actual control is mainly in the hands of the Dongliao, supported by the Great Zhou.

However, since the Pasture Knight's Wall Dock Group has not been completed, the Great Zhou and Dongliao did not have very strict control over the Bashang Grassland and the southern part of the Korqin Grassland.

For example, this time, Wu Haogu received a report after 5,000 iron cavalry led by Aguda passed through most of the dam grassland. It was too late to stop it.

Aguda smiled and said, "The Bashang Grassland and the southern part of the Korqin Grassland have always been freely exchanged lands for the various grassland tribes. Now they are encircled like this, and there are also walls to build walls that will not be passed by, so are you not afraid of causing public outrage on the grassland?"

"Don't be afraid!" Wu Haogu said coldly, "The land under the world is originally for people to exchange freely. But those with strong soldiers can circle a piece of country and not allow others to enter. Don't you also circle a large piece of land to establish the Great Jin Kingdom?"

"Hahaha!" Aguda laughed, "But our Great Jin Kingdom did not agree to the southern part of the Bashang Grassland and the Korqin Grassland to return to Dongliao!"

"Absurd!" Wu Haogu sneered, "The Liao Kingdom was crushed by my Great Zhou, and I can take it all. Today I only take one of them, and I need the consent of others?"

"If it belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty, our family will have no objection," said Aguda, "but now the southern part of the Bashang Grassland and the Korqin Grassland have returned to the Dongliao Prince's Mansion... What's going on?"

Wuhao Ancient Road: "The Eastern Liao Dynasty is protected by our Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is a country belonging to the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Oh?" Aguda smiled, "In this way, Dongliao and I, Dajin, are no longer enemies?"

"Of course it's not the enemy." Wuhao Ancient Road.

"The Empress Dowager Dongliao also agrees?"

"Of course I agree!" Wu Haogu said, "As long as I say, Empress Xiao dare not ignore him."

"That's fine," Aguda laughed, "We can admit that the southern part of the Bashang Grassland and the Korqin Grassland belong to the Dongliao Dawang Mansion... But the Great Zhou Kingdom must also ensure that the Dongliao Dawang Mansion does not become enemies with our Great Jin.

We also have to make an alliance in black and white, and we must swear to the law of heaven, and Empress Dowager Xiao also wants to participate in the alliance!"

This is……

Wu Haogu was a little strange when he heard about Aguda’s conditions. What does Aguda mean? He had been entangled with the issue of belonging to the Bashang Grassland and the southern Korqin Grassland for so long, but why did he suddenly make concessions?

Could it be that Aguda is preparing to go south to find trouble for the Song Dynasty?

"Aguda," Wu Haogu asked, "Are you going to go southeast of the river and the picture below the Song?"

"Tu Song?" A Guda was stunned, and then smiled, "In the past, the Great Liao Dynasty received 500,000 yuan in annual currency from the Song Dynasty. Now our family cannot copy it. In fact, this money is also worth it. Now the north is getting colder and more miserable, and the grassland is causing white disasters every year. If the Song Dynasty does not supplement it, the tribes on the grassland will not be willing to starve to death, and will be forced to go south sooner or later! This is a natural disaster... If it is not comforted well, it will be a man-made disaster!"

This statement also makes sense. Wu Haoguxin said: The weather is getting colder every year, probably the legendary Little Ice Age? The barbarians in the north suffered a white disaster, and a large number of cattle and sheep froze to death. If they want to survive, they have to go south to rob. As they rush, they will become more and more fierce!

Wu Haogu nodded and said with a smile: "If it is just an annual quota, I will not ask about the Great Zhou. If there is really any difficulty in the North, I will help you if I have the extra energy.

To be honest, Aguda's second brother, my Great Zhou and Song Kingdom recently joined forces to divide the Jiaozhi Kingdom in the south, and divided a good place with paddy fields everywhere and a fertile land... If the Great Jin Kingdom really lacks food, even if I speak, my Great Zhou will never sit idly by and wait."

Aguda smiled and clasped his fists: "That's thank you."

Wu Haogu’s ancient road: “I am a close neighbor, and we should help each other and communicate with each other’s existence and whether there are any other things… It’s time to discuss the issue of the two countries’ mutual transactions and the establishment of embassies between the two sides.”

"Okay!" Aguda smiled, "When the alliance is over, let Xiyin go to Tianjin Prefecture for negotiation."

Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Then we will hold an alliance next spring in Yuanyanglu, how about formally signing a marriage agreement?"

"Okay, then just say it's up!" A Guda deserved to be refreshed and smiled honestly. However, in Wu Haogu's opinion, there must be some secret behind A Guda's honest smile!

Otherwise, why would he stay in the mandarin duck and meet him?

But what is this guy planning? Going south to Song? It seems that the Song Dynasty is not easy to deal with now...

...

"Wu Shu, do you think Wu Haogu will abide by the covenant?"

"Father, the Martial Saint is a gentleman with one word, you can rest assured."

"But Yelu Dashi is his student!"

The meeting between Yuanyanglu was over. Aguda and his son did not stay for long. The next day, they set off and continued westward to Datong Prefecture with the snowflakes all over the sky.

During the journey, Aguda and Wushu mentioned Yelu Dashi!

It turned out that Yelu Dashi was the reason why Aguda made concessions in the disputes between the Bashang Grassland and the southern Korqin Grassland.

In autumn, the Bu people on the grassland sent an urgent report to Aguda, saying that Yelu Dashi, the king of the Seven Rivers of the Western Regions, led 50,000 cavalry to advance eastward, defeated the Anbage tribe, and put away all the troops, and the momentum rose sharply. Now he is leading an army of 80,000 to Keduncheng.

There are currently about 30,000 Khitan soldiers and a large number of Khitan nobles and civilian households in Keduan City.

If Yelu Dashi and the Khitans in Kedun City join forces, it would be an army of 110,000!

Moreover, the nomadic Tatars and the Zubu people near Kedu City had a deep feud, and were unwilling to defect to the Jin Kingdom, which had won over the Zubu people, and are still standing on the side of the Khitans.

If the Tatars were included, Yelu Dashi's troops would be as high as 150,000!

"Father," Wanyan Zongbi smiled, "If you are really worried that the Martial Saint will betray the alliance, your son will have a way."

"What method?" Aguda asked.

"Does my father know that Wu Yan was spoiled to death?"

"Wu Yanpeng?"

"It's the Pingzhang story of Nan Goryeo." Wanyan Zongbi said, "He died of illness in the autumn. His son Wu Sizhao is a nerd again, so he must not be able to suppress the situation. Yin Guan's son Yin Yanchun will not be convinced either.

If Takujunkyo of BeiGali also dies, Yin Yanchun can take the opportunity to recover BeiGali... Then he will definitely overwhelm Wu Sizhao. At that time, Wu Haogu will have to send troops to Gaoli!"

"Then we will also lose Bei Goryeo?" Wanyan Aguda frowned.

"Father," Zong Bi said, "There are gains and losses! And we have already scraped all the territory of Bei Goryeo in recent years... If we don't throw it to the Martial Saint, we will lose money in the future."

The Jurchens scraped away the land from Northern Goryeo, and they didn’t engage in real estate, so they didn’t need the land. The main thing they scraped away was the population!

In the process of establishing a country, the Jurchen society also developed, from tribal system to tribal serfdom. In the Jin society, those who acted as tribal serfs were not only captured Khitans or tribal people who were vassal Khitans, but also Goryeo people. Compared with the tribal people in the north, the Goryeo people in agricultural civilization were extremely popular serfs!

Therefore, when Aguda formulated the Muke Meng'an system and turned the Jurchen tribe into a Muke Meng'an that unites military and civilians, he assigned some Goryeo tribes to each Muke, which almost divided the young and middle-aged population of Northern Goryeo.

With the population gone, the oil and water of Northern Goryeo will naturally disappear. So for the Jurchens, this land has become a useless rib. If you use a useless rib to create a big trouble for Wu Haogu, why not do it?
