Wang Lin chuckled: "Actually, you also understand that your Khitan has reached this point and restored the country - there is no possibility of any more."
Xiao Duoli nodded silently, looking sad.
Although Wang Lin's words were not clearly stated, she was as clear as a mirror in her heart.
Not to mention that the Jin people were like a mountain lying across there, even if the Song people or Wang Lin were unable to restore the Liao people.
(Explanation: Liao is the Khitan. It may be due to my language habits or the exchanges between Liao people or Khitan people, but the essence is actually the same)
Wang Lin gently stroked her soft and thin back and comforted her: "But I can send troops to help them gain a foothold in the Yanbei area, establish a regime, and then slowly erode Yanbei little by little...
With my army preparing for war in Hebei, the Jin people dare not easily suppress heavy troops to Yanbei, so for the time being, Yeluding's troops still have room for survival."
Xiao Duoli Lai looked at Wang Lin deeply and said quietly: "I believe in the prince's words, but what about the future? Where should they go?"
Xiao Duoli Lai knew that Wang Lin was preparing to build the rest of the Liao people to establish a country as a buffer for the anti-Jin period. When Wang Lin destroyed the Jin Dynasty in the future, the Liao people's regime would still not be able to avoid the destruction.
So she asked the key to the question directly.
Wang Lin smiled and suddenly grabbed Xiao Duolilai's buttocks.
Xiao Duolilai's face turned red, but he quickly got off Wang Lin's leg.
Wang Lin took her hand and walked with her under the generous map.
He circled the vast area west of Ganlong with wooden sticks: "Do you know where this place is?"
Xiao Duoli Lai said softly: "The king of the Western Regions. What does the prince mean is that he can help the rest of our Liao people go to the Western Regions to find a country? Preserve the Khitan Army?"
Wang Lin shook his head flatly: "No. This place is my territory during the Han and Tang dynasties in China, and I will swear to restore it to death."
Xiao Duolilai: "..."
Seeing Xiao Duoli's resentful look, Wang Lin couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to do this. I told you that this world is big enough to accommodate many races and countries coexist.
Going further west to the Western Regions, the territory is infinitely vast. There is a sparse population, but the land is extremely fertile. You Khitans can establish a country and make a living in the west of the Western Regions!”
"It may be possible to go overseas. Overseas is a new world. There are hundreds of small countries like Goryeo. With the power of you Liao people, it is not difficult to open another country overseas. You also know that I am already here
I have a lot of help overseas, and I can contribute to the founding of your Khitans in the future.”
Xiao Duolilai was silent for a long time before he said quietly: "Prince, is there a third way?"
She obviously thought going to sea was not a good way out.
Wang Lin laughed: "Of course there is. In my opinion, whether Han people, Khitan people, Jin people, or Xixia people... are actually one of the components of the unified Chinese nation.
During the Han and Tang dynasties, the northern nomadic peoples were like the Turks. They have always regarded the Central Plains dynasty as the main and respected as the Heavenly Khan. For more than a thousand years, although wars between the Central Plains and the Mobei Grassland were frequent, they gradually merged...
Don’t believe it. You Khitans were influenced by Han culture from nomadic tribes to the founding of the country and becoming emperors. Not to mention Khitans, even the Jin people, isn’t it the same? There are also Xixia, official system, system, education, which one is there?
Not copying the Central Plains?"
Xiao Duoli Lai listened carefully and was speechless.
She suddenly realized that what Wang Lin said was true.
But it is difficult for her to understand the concept of great ethnic integration like Wang Lin.
Wang Lin smiled, and didn't expect her to digest it.
He also said: "In addition, my mind is big enough to allow you Khitan people to continue to survive in the homeland where your ancestors lived for generations, and even establish a country and enjoy a certain degree of autonomy, but..."
Wang Lin wanted to continue talking, but suddenly realized that he could not accept those advanced theories even after Xiao Duoli Lai could not accept them, so he stopped.
I made a summary directly: "In a word, the remaining troops of the Liao people helped me destroy the Jin Dynasty because this is our common enemy.
Of course, for me, the remaining people of the Liao people are just icing on the cake, not a timely help. After the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, I may go to the fortification and open up the territory and go west to establish a country. I can help me! Or I may give up the founding of the country and settle in the former Khitan area. I promised
Give certain autonomy.”
Xiao Duoli's beautiful eyes flashed: "Prince, what is autonomy?"
Wang Lin laughed: "You can understand it like this: keep your Khitans' writing, language and cultural traditions, and the Khitans are managed by the Khitans in the place where you Khitans gather... but accept and obey unconditionally... the court's
Unify leadership.”
Xiao Duoli pondered for a long time before saying, "Prince, I probably understand, is this similar to the Prince's future placement of Xixia?"
Xiao Duoli Lai Zi also knew the intimate relationship between the Empress Dowager Yelu Nanxian, who was in power in Xixia, and Wang Lin, and also knew that Yelu Nanxian was about to give birth to Wang Lin's descendants. Of course, it is not known whether it is a man or a woman.
But Xixia has fallen into Wang Lin's actual control, which is an ironclad fact.
Xiao Duoli Lai also knew that in the process of Wang Lin controlling Xixia, Murong Wan'er, who was hidden behind the scenes, actually played an invisible role.
Wang Lin nodded immediately: "It's a big difference."
Xiao Duoli Lai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Prince, I will write a letter to Yelu Ding and ask him to come to Hebei to pay homage to the prince."
"Whether to come or not is not the key to the problem, the key is that he must make the right decision." Wang Lin waved his hand, "If necessary, I will order someone to escort you to Liao territory and see Yeluding once."
...
The weather is sunny.
A red sun rises in the sky, and the warm sunshine spreads on the earth, and there is no wind, and the temperature rises slightly.
Outside Zhending City, there were people coming and going on the official road leading to the hinterland of Hebei, and there were endless convoys.
In addition to caravans, most of them are logistics food, grass, and supplies transportation teams from various prefectures and counties to the front line.
At present, the enthusiasm for resisting the Jin Dynasty in the Song Dynasty is rising.
And this morning, Liu Yanqing and his son had led their troops back to Taiyuan to take over the main force of the Western Army.
Han Shizhong also set off for Yan Dai today.
The other armies were also on the way back to the defense zone.
After taking the Zhong Shidao and replacing it with Zhe Keqiu, he joined the Western Army camp, and in the past two days, he completed the final reorganization of his troops and led his army to the Bazhou front line.
Zhong Shidao led the children of the Zhong family to leave the army today and return to Luoyang, Henan.
In the Western Army camp, the Central Army’s tent.
Yao Gu's complex expression was in a hurry and said, "Brother Zhe, there are many generals in the army who went out of the camp to see off their family members. Do you need to stop them..."
The Zhong family has been in charge of the army for generations in the Western Army. Although there was a scandal of making money and earning nothing, their prestige was still strong.
Some military generals promoted by the Zong family are either dissatisfied with or sympathized with Zhong Shidao's current experience, which is inevitable.
Zhe Keqiu sighed: "Forget it, it's all human nature, it's better to send it away, so as not to accumulate resentment, and it will be difficult to deal with the explosion in the future."
Yao Gu said in silence: "You and I... want to go and deliver it too?"
The Zhe family, Yao family and the Zhong family have been married, and they have a marriage relationship. They have been under Zhong Shidao for many years. It is also a lie to say that they have no old feelings.
Zhe Keqiu hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, you and I have different identities. To avoid the suspicion of the King of Yan, let's forget it."
Yao Gu sighed.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the military soldiers coming to report: "Encourt, the Grand Marshal's Mansion informed that the King of Yan went out of the city to see off his old husband!"
Zhe Keqiu and Yao Gu were stunned and ran out of the tent side by side.
...
Zhong Hao, Zhong Wei and Guo Shun were executed in front of the military formation and beheaded and displayed in public.
One day and night, Zhong Shidao, who was dismissed from military posts and lost his eldest son, had white hair like snow on his head, and his figure was no longer as tall as before, but he was even more hunched.
The children of the family were filial and had a desolate and sad face.
Next to the official road, they supported the old Master Zong to board a carriage, while the rest of the people turned over and over horses. Under the eyes of dozens of generals in tears, they were about to beat the horse.
The sound of horse hooves like thunder came, and Wang Lin personally led more than ten generals including Yan Qing, Yue Fei and more than ten generals to speed up.
Wang Lin stopped his horse dozens of steps away, stepped forward in big strolls.
Master Zhong also got off the carriage tremblingly, and stood in front of the carriage and looked at Wang Lin.
The two of them had their eyes in exchange.
Wang Lin stopped.
The children of the Zhong family and some of the Western Army generals who came to see each other off on the spot instantly projected their gloomy and hatred eyes on Wang Lin, but some were unscrupulous, while others were more obscure.
The temperature seemed to drop sharply as the atmosphere became colder.
Wang Lin smiled softly and bowed: "Old Mr. Zhong, I'm here to say goodbye, please take care of me all the way!"
Mr. Zhong looked up and bowed slowly, "Thank you, the prince, I will say goodbye to you. I only hope that the prince can lead our army to Yongzhen border, so don't let the Jin people trample on my territory again!"
Behind Wang Lin, Yan Qing and Yue Fei and others also bowed to say goodbye together.
In any case, this veteran Zhong Shidao has been in the border for decades, and there is still something respectable about it.
Master Zhong sighed, bowed and slowly got on the carriage.
Zhong Shidao lifted the curtain of the car, and his deep eyes passed by the Western generals who were lined up to see him off on both sides of the official road, his heart was sore and painful.
He grew up in the army and spent his whole life in the Western Army.
His life was long since inseparable from the Western Army, but unexpectedly, he was dismissed from his military post and repatriated to his hometown.
In fact, Zhong Shidao is very clear that if Wang Lin wants to control the Western Army as soon as possible and completely eliminate the shadow of the Zhong family in the Western Army, it is a must-have path.
Otherwise, the Zhong family army will always be the Zhong family army.
Mr. Zhong sighed in his heart, and with a trembling hand, he fell off the curtain.
The rays of sunset were brilliant, and the carriage he was riding started with a creaking sound, dragging out a narrow shadow, and a sarcasm sound came from the generals on both sides.
With the departure of the children of the Zong family, this means that the Western Army will usher in a new era.
Generally speaking, the rise of new forces will inevitably mean the loneliness of old forces.
These Western Army generals were both sad for the family of the Zong family and were also sad for their confusion in their future.
Zhe Keqiu and Yao Gu rode their horses gradually. They did not catch up to say goodbye to Master Zhong in person, but saw a row of dense rain of arrows passing by in front of the sky. They stood alone in the middle of the official road and watched Master Zhong slowly leave.
The King of Yan fell on his body.
Zhe Keqiu was shocked and almost fell from his horse.
Yao Gu shouted immediately: "Protect the King of Yan!"
