Chapter 873 Fang La: It wasnt King Yan who slapped me in the face, it was the court who sowed discord!
Tokyo Road, Liaoyang Prefecture.
Wanyan Gao (gǎo) was escorted by a group of Liao troops and arrived in front of the palace.
He is the fifth brother of Wanyan Aguda, and this time as the Jurchen envoy, he came to negotiate.
This is undoubtedly a matter of keeping your head on your waist. After all, more than a year ago, the Jurchens were still humble slaves in the Liao Kingdom, only worthy of collecting pearls and catching eagles for the enjoyment of the Khitan nobles. Until the Liao Emperor went south to invade Zhao
Song, everything changed.
Even if the Jurchens found that their army was very strong and capable of fighting, and they had taken advantage of the recent battle with the Liao army, if Wanyan Gao came to Liaoyang Mansion as an envoy and was beheaded indiscriminately,
It's also completely normal.
Wanyan Gao was willing to fight for the future of the clan, but he was also worried that his death would be worthless. Fortunately, after he really came in, his heart quickly settled down.
Because under those hostile eyes, there was a hint of fear.
Just like ferocious wolves, sometimes they are afraid and run away after being beaten, so now these Khitan people are afraid!
Especially those extravagant nobles who used to be aloof and accustomed to enjoying themselves were even more unwilling to fight to the death with the ferocious enemy who destroyed Goryeo in one battle!
So Wanyan Gao was determined that he would not die, but he did not pretend to be arrogant, but was still escorted into the palace honestly.
There were imperial palaces in the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, but they were not very well built. The imperial city in Liaoyang was not as good as the one in Yanjing. Yelu Yanxi was sitting in the palace now, feeling uncomfortable all over and wishing to return immediately.
Inside your own bowl.
But thinking about the next step to intimidate the Jurchen envoy, he still held back and asked the strong Orudo to line up on both sides, assuming a menacing posture.
"Your Majesty feels guilty..."
Xiao Wuna and Yelu had to see each other again and sighed secretly.
Both of them proposed to chop down the Jurchen envoy directly, showing the toughest attitude.
The people outside the Great Wall do not pay attention to the style of fighting between two countries without killing the envoys. The reason why Yanyun expelled the Jurchen envoys before was also upright. The Jurchens are not a country, but just a nation within the Liao Kingdom. What qualifications do you have to be independent and independent from foreign countries?
Establish diplomatic relations?
The same principle holds true. When the Jurchens rebelled against their superiors and the Liao Emperor put down the rebellion, why should they see the envoys of the other party? They would simply kill them and hang their corpses outside the city!
Once the Jurchen envoys are allowed in, it will have an impact on the morale of the army, because it is equivalent to recognizing the status of the other party.
Yelu Yanxi didn't think so, but glanced at the two of them coldly.
This time they came to Tokyo to quell the rebellion. The Liao army claimed to have 200,000 elite soldiers, of which 20,000 were as vanguards, targeting the Jurchens to break out of the Hu River.
The weird-sounding name "Press Out the Tiger" refers to "gold" in the Jurchen language, so the name of the later Jin Kingdom was actually named after the place.
Of course, there is another saying in the history of the Jin Dynasty, "The Liao Dynasty named the country "Bin Iron" because of its strength. Although the iron iron is strong, it will eventually deteriorate, but gold does not change." Therefore, the country was named Dayin.
Which one is true, or whether there are considerations, only Wanyan Agu who founded the country can figure it out clearly, but no matter what, the area of Hushui is the core basis of the Jurchen tribe. If this place is captured
, then the battle is basically over...
As a result, Wanyan Aguda returned with 3,000 cavalry. He first pretended to be invincible, then lured them deep, and finally divided them and annihilated them, defeating the 20,000 Pishi army. Then, news of the fall of Goryeo came from behind.
.
If there hadn't been that defeat, Yelu Yanxi would have definitely killed Wanyan Gao without hesitation...
If there had not been the tragedy of Goryeo's collapse, Yelu Yanxi would not have let Wanyan Gao live...
It happened that the two news came at the same time. Emperor Tian Zuo thought about it and finally did not dare to kill directly. He chose to meet him and listen to what he had to say.
"Bring a straight woman Wan Yan Gao!" "Bring a straight woman Wan Yan Gao——" "Bring a straight woman Wan Yan Gao——"
The announcement was heard all the way, and in a solemn atmosphere, Wanyan Gao stepped into the main hall.
This relatively simple palace city was already indescribably spectacular in the eyes of the Jurchens. A look of shock appeared on his face, and without a moment's hesitation, he knelt down directly, with a look of admiration in his tone: "It's over.
Yan Gao pays homage to Emperor Tianzuo. Your Majesty is magnanimous and benevolent. It is your honor to receive your Majesty!"
Yelu Yanxi made a gesture and snorted coldly: "I am only tolerant to the obedient people. Since you know the consequences of offending Tianyan, do you still dare to rebel?"
When Wanyan Aguda boosted the morale of the three armies, he denounced the Liao Emperor for being unbearable. However, as soon as the accident that destroyed Goryeo occurred, the Jurchen high-level officials immediately changed their strategy. At this time, Wanyan Gao put his forehead to the ground and said in a very submissive manner: "Your Majesty, my daughter is a wise man.
I have always been loyal to Daliao* and will never dare to rebel. It is the bandits of Goryeo who invaded my clan and tried to drive a wedge between them in order to gain benefits by invading the border!"
No fool would believe this, but who told Goryeo to be subjugated now? Weakness is the original sin, and guilt means taking the blame. Yelu Yanxi sneered: "Really? Then what did you do?"
Wanyan Gao said: "The King of Goryeo invaded my homeland and reaped the consequences. But Goryeo is a vassal state of Daliao. We dare not make our own claims. This place is now in the hands of the descendants of Xianzong. I hope that your majesty will grant you credentials and canonize the new king."
king!"
The recently deceased King of Goryeo, after his successful usurpation more than ten years ago, reported to the suzerain country Daliao on the grounds that "the former king was ill and abdicated", and was conferred the title of Special Jin and Inspector Taiwei by Yelu Hongji, the Daozong of the Liao Dynasty.
Zhongshu Ling, Shangzhu Kingdom, King of Goryeo, with a settlement of 1,000 households.
The control of Goryeo by the Liao State could not actually determine the change of royal power within the country, but the new king had to obtain the approval of the suzerain state and formally bow to the throne.
Now Wanyan Gao's request also means that Goryeo is still surrendered to Daliao. It is not even considered a country's subjugation, but a change of domestic political power.
Xiao Wuna and Yelu De's faces changed slightly after hearing this, and they were very wary. Yelu Yanxi, the most honorable person, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Well, if that's really the case, I can't blame you. It's just like this. You, a straight woman, want to beg again."
What? You won’t be working all the time for nothing, right?”
The interests of people outside the Great Wall were the most important, and the question was very direct. Wanyan Gao gritted his teeth after hearing this, and suddenly reached out and took off his outer robe.
His behavior immediately aroused the vigilance of Lord Orudo, but soon he showed a strange look.
Because this Jurchen man was actually wearing Korean clothes, he said loudly: "My people have been living among the white mountains and black waters. Our life is difficult and miserable. In recent years, the donations have been scarce, and we are even more frightened and uneasy."
, I also hope that Your Majesty will have mercy and allow my family to move to Goryeo. This is the biggest request!”…
