Chapter 308: A Three-Year Appointment

The mountains and rivers on both sides of the Yellow River are now shrouded in the colors of early autumn. The forests are dyed, and the sky is high and the clouds are light.

Such a great autumn day and such a broad world are just for a ceremony to recognize fathers that is well known to you.

On both sides of the northern river of the Yellow River, the Song army brought by Zhao Kai, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda, the Liao army arranged ten miles away along the river!

Countless soldiers from the Song and Liao countries lined up to each other, each of whom was neatly dressed, standing straight with weapons, showing their best military posture, waiting for their hero to come and review.

On the east side of the army of the two countries is a floating bridge between the two cities in the north and south of Wulahai. This floating bridge was set on fire by the Jin soldiers during the battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties, and is now rebuilt. Zhao Kai, the official of the Song Dynasty and Yelu Dashi, the regent of the Liao Dynasty, were standing on the pontoon bridge, facing each other and discussing the major affairs of the world!

This "Bianqiao Alliance" was arranged by Yelu Yujiu for Zhao Kai and Yelu Dashi. Yujiu knew that Zhao Kai was a fan of Emperor Taizong of Tang and imitated the Tian Khan everywhere, so he arranged a "Bianqiao Alliance" between him and Yelu Dashi.

It is also the "Pinqiao Alliance", but this time it is a real alliance... Even if Zhao Kai coerces Yelu Dashi to regard himself as the Supreme Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, it will not affect the current friendly relations between the two sides.

To put it into the words of later generations, the Song and Liao sides are now in the honeymoon period!

No matter how you look at it, you will feel like the other person... In the eyes of the Song army generals on the south bank of the Yellow River, the ones standing opposite were "filial sons". The Liao Dynasty is now the "Son Country" of the Song Dynasty!

The Great Liao, who had bullied the Song Dynasty for so many years, is still the son of the Song Dynasty. Why don’t people exclaim?

Moreover, with the "good son" of the Great Liao, the Jurchens will soon be attacked from both sides... Recovering the lost territory in Hebei and the sixteen states of Yanyun should be just around the corner!

In the eyes of the Khitans on the bank of the Northern River of the Yellow River, the "Father of the Emperor of the Great Liao" on the bridge was very kind from a distance... He gave the Great Liao so much silk, tea, iron tools, and fried pots and gunpowder!

Yelu Yanxi's father is not bad at recognizing it!

Moreover, Yelu Yanxi is now detained by the Jin thieves, and it is probably about to die, and his sons seem to be dead. So when Yelu Yanxi dies, whether Zhao Kai's Supreme Emperor of the Great Liao can continue to work depends on the situation... If the Great Liao had destroyed the Jurchens at that time, and restored the territory of Shangjing Road, Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Road, then the "father-son relationship" between Song and Liao will end. The Great Liao only has eternal interests, no eternal godfather!

......

"Official family, our Great Liao is not a country with the emperor's holy heart, but a country with the leaders of the 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes. The regent king of my ministers was elected by the 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes of the seven states and 18 tribes will definitely agree. As long as they submit a statement with me, regardless of whether the emperor of Dongshou agrees, you are the Supreme Emperor of the Great Liao!"

On the bridge, the regent of the Great Liao Dynasty, Yelu Dashi, was explaining the procedures for being a father to Yelu Yanxi to Zhao Kai. By the way, he also introduced the current political system of the Great Liao Dynasty to Zhao Kai... The current Dalia is no longer a country where the emperor Laozi has the final say, but has returned to the state of tribal alliance and military democracy.

Of course, this kind of tribal alliance and military democracy was not what Yelu Dashi wanted, but he only followed Yuedamo and arrived in Keduan City with 200 people six years ago. His strength was not as strong as any of the eighteen tribes in the northern desert. The only thing he could rely on was his reputation and his personal charm in the defense of Yanjing. Only then could he convene the leaders of the 18 tribes in the seven prefectures to hold a political meeting and become the regent king.

Moreover, being the Regent King does not mean that Yelu Dashi is really in power and can be said to be the same.

Although the place in Mobei can provide some soldiers for Dashi, it cannot scrape out much wealth... So Dashi can only rely on his personal charm and prestige to unite a group of Liao patriots. However, he is unable to support an army that is loyal to him, and he cannot repay the patriots who support him accordingly.

Therefore, Yelu Dashi is not the centralized monarch of Mobei, but just the leader of a tribal alliance.

After receiving a one-year fund of 500,000 yuan from Zhao Kai, he could only lean on the centralized monarch... Unfortunately, Zhao Kai only promised to support him for five years now. Whether he can continue to receive funding in five years depends on his performance!

Of course, he would not dare to imagine destroying Jin for five years... The Liao Dynasty did not have such strength, and Zhao Kai’s half of the Song Dynasty could not have such strength.

So Dashi's current intention is to use the past five years to secure the position of King of Mobei, expand his basic position as much as possible, and at the same time include more Mobei tribes under his jurisdiction... Of course, the former capital of the Liao Kingdom, Shangjing, must be recovered!

Only by taking over the rich grasslands and farmlands around Linhuang Mansion can Dashi develop the reopened Daliao into a force that can play an important role in the battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties, and then there will be no fear of not getting money.

As for whom I ask for money, I can only take one step at a time... Maybe when the Liao Dynasty should be in harmony with its mortal enemy, Jurchen, and fight against the inflated Song Dynasty!

Just as Yelu Dashi was thinking about where he was going in the future, Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Dashi, I will leave all the affairs of the north to you! I hope that within three years, you Khitans will be ready for a large-scale eastern expedition... At that time, the Khitans will advance to the Linhuang Prefecture of Shangjing, and the Song Dynasty will attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the north, and there will be hope for success in destroying the Jin and revenge!"

Three years of preparation and then the Northern Expedition to Yan Yun is Zhao Kai’s current plan... This year is the fourth year of his arrival in this era! During these four years, he was either fighting or preparing for war, and finally he had a stalemate with the Jurchens.

However, before this Battle of Montenegro, his "Northern Song Dynasty" was actually being beaten... The main attackers were all Jurchens, and he just blocked the Jurchens' offensive in a few inside defenses.

It was not until this Battle of Black Mountain that it was possible to take the initiative to attack with the power of the firearms, but it seemed that it was almost impossible to capture Youyan and even pacify Liaodong in one fell swoop.

So Zhao Kai had to raise Yelu Dashi, the hero, to strengthen his strength, and then bring him together to bite the Jurchens... As for whether there will be another battle between the Song and Liao dynasties in the future, he is actually looking forward to it!

"Okay! Then it's a matter of determination! Hahaha..." Yelu Dashi laughed heartily, "Three years later, I will lead my Khitan warriors from Mobei to hunt down Jurchens with the army of the government!"

Zhao Kai nodded and smiled, "What a good person who can hunt Jurchens... Dashi Linya, three years later, I will bet with you to see who can join Ning Mansion first? Who can catch the Jurchens emperor Wanyan Wu Qibu?"

Yelu Dashi smiled and said, "Since it's a gambling battle, you must have a lottery. I wonder what the Supreme Emperor is going to use as the lottery?"

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "If Dashi Linya can join Huining first and capture the Jurchen emperor, then in the future, the Great Liao and Song dynasties will be the North and South dynasties!"

Yelu Dashi nodded, and then Zhao Kai said: "If Your Majesty can join Huining first and capture the Jurchen Emperor alive, then I will lead the people from Mobei to recommend Your Majesty as the Khan of Heaven!"

"Okay," Zhao Kai raised his right hand and said to Yelu Dashi, "Dashi, let's swear by the high five!"

Yelu Dashi also raised his left hand, then rode his horse forward, and the two very powerful hands slapped each other together!

......

There was a "pop".

In the Datong Prefecture of Xijing, Dajin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai was also slapping his face at this time, but he was not slapping the table with anyone, but slapping the table!

Being angry!

He had just returned to Datong Mansion and before he could breathe a good time, bad news came from Jingdong Road!

According to the report of the left deputy marshal Wanyan Zonghan, who guarded Jingdong Road, the navy of the Southern Song Dynasty took advantage of the southeast wind this summer and sent a navy army to launch a cross-sea expedition to Goryeo, a vassal state of the Great Jin Kingdom.

Although the scale of this expedition was limited and only 10 Song people's warships arrived in Haizhou, Goryeo, it still shocked the Goryeo!

Because two of these 10 Song people's warships were "cannon ships", the ship was equipped with "hot pot cannons" that could fire 20 kilograms of stone bombs to bombard the Goryeo's ports and castles, and the ship was also equipped with many thunder bombs. The Goryeo's warships were bombed when they approached!

So just 10 Song warships defeated hundreds of Goryeo's ships, bombarded ports, occupied castles, and snatched Haizhou commercial ports.

Subsequently, Zhao Shu, the king of Su of the Song Dynasty, who led his troops to expedition to Goryeo, also sent captured Goryeo officials to send a letter of state to Goryeo King Wang Kai, demanding that Goryeo break off diplomatic relations with the Jurchens and submit to the Song Dynasty. He also asked the King of Goryeo to change his name... It cannot be called "Kai", but it must avoid the taboo of the Crown Brother of the Song Dynasty!

In addition, Zhao Shu also proposed to station troops in the ports and castles of Haizhou in Goryeo... and to operate Haizhou as a stronghold for the northern expedition of Liaodong by sea routes!

The anti-Jin faction in Goryeo took the opportunity to attack and encouraged the Goryeo king to move the capital to Xijing (Pyongyang) and betray Jin and pro-Song, preparing to fight against the Northern Expedition of the Great Jin...

Although the King of Goryeo was not bewitched by the anti-Jin faction, he was also shocked by the force of the Song people's naval forces and did not dare to refuse immediately. He had to give a large sum of gold, silver and treasures to buy and return the Song people, and asked the Song people to go to Haizhou next year to discuss the alliance between the two countries.

After repelling the Song people, King Goryeo immediately sent an envoy to Tokyo Road on the sea route and asked Dajin's deputy marshal Wanyan Zonghan for help.

Wanyan Zonghan had no navy, so he could only ask Yanjing's Anbanbo Jilie Wanyan Xie to be anxious, and Xie was also helpless, so he kicked the ball to Wanyan Wuqi to buy it here.

This is really unexpected! It would be fine if Zhao Kai from Song Pi and Tang Bone bullies the Great Jin Kingdom, but why does that coward Zhao Huan dare to launch an aggressive war now?
