This Yelu Dashi is an important chess piece involving the Jin Kingdom. Although Yelu Dashi was not present during the negotiations in Yunsang, it still played a vital role. If Yelu Dashi died, the Khitan tribe would be completely destroyed.
, you must know that he is the only child of the Yelu royal family.
"Is Yelu Dashi okay?" Zhao Jingyan asked quickly.
Li Qi shook his head and said, "The letter didn't go into detail. It just said that originally Yelu Dashi had been cornered by Wanyan Zonghan, but heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky. Yelu Dashi climbed over the snowy mountains to escape Wanyan Zonghan's arrest. Moreover, because of the heavy snow,
, Wanyan Zonghan’s army could not keep up with the supplies and had to retreat. Yelu Dashi finally escaped this disaster, but after this battle, Yelu Dashi was no longer enough to pose a threat to the Kingdom of Jin. Yelu Dashi was returned to the bones.
When he wanted to send a letter, he said that Beiting Mansion had been exposed to the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom could come and get it at any time, so he was ready to continue the Western Expedition."
Zhao Jingyan nodded slightly and said: "The Western Region is far away from the center of the Jin Kingdom. Every expedition requires a large amount of food and grass. It is unlikely that the Jin Kingdom will mobilize troops just to kill a lost dog. However, Wanyan Zonghan is really well-deserved.
ah."
Li Qi snorted coldly: "That's a mad dog. It bites anyone it sees. What's hateful is that this mad dog has a higher IQ, especially in the military field. There are also Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Xiyin here. With these three people here,
, Li Zhengxi could go to the Kingdom of Jin to become emperor. Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan not only defeated the Yelu Dashi during this western expedition, but also hunted rabbits by the way, consolidating the defensive line in the north of Xixia and occupying many originally controversial areas.
The land grabbed the throat of the north of Xixia, allowing the Jin Kingdom to maintain an offensive posture against Xixia."
"This is expected. Xixia is independent. If the Jin Kingdom blindly gives in, how can it convince the public? The Jin Kingdom will definitely put pressure on Xixia, and Xixia is not an opponent of the Jin Kingdom at all. As long as the Jin Kingdom does not declare war.
, Xixia has to burn incense and worship Buddha, and Xixia can only swallow this small loss." Zhao Jingyan said with a little regret: "When Wanyan Zonghan sent troops, Yunzhou must be empty. If our army can take advantage of it, it will be empty.
We will definitely be able to take back Yunzhou without any effort, what a pity."
Li Qi frowned and said: "This is also mentioned in the letter. At that time, Wanyan Zonghan was out in force, which also shows that he was sure that we would not dare to act rashly. Now that the Song Dynasty is also recuperating, it is already a risk to open the southern battlefield.
However, if we fight on both the north and south fronts at the same time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of both ends. Besides, we have just recovered the Yanyun area, and the people's morale is unstable. How dare we rashly start another war."
Zhao Jingyan said: "Now the Kingdom of Jin can free up its hands and feet to concentrate on dealing with us."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "We don't dare to act rashly, and neither does the Jin Kingdom. We in the Song Dynasty are no better than Yelu Dashi, the lost dog. And if they dare to send troops to Yanyun again, I can use the route from Goryeo to send them to the capital. As long as they dare to send troops to Yanyun.
If the Jin Kingdom does not completely control Goryeo, they will not dare to go south. The future battlefield will definitely revolve around Goryeo. But this is a story for another day. What I am worried about now is Yelu Dashi."
Zhao Jingyan said curiously: "Wanyan Zonghan should not be in a hurry to send troops again."
Li Qi sighed: "I'm not worried about whether Yelu Dashi can withstand the attack of the Jin Kingdom. On the contrary, I'm worried about Yelu Dashi's control of the entire Western Region. Now the Western Regions are divided and in chaos. Yelu Dashi may conquer the west this time.
Able to create miracles, with our emperor’s ambition, he definitely does not want another enemy as powerful as the Jin Kingdom to appear in the world."
He is not a mediocre person. In history, Yelu Dashi's Western Expedition indeed created a miracle, taking control of Central Asia and establishing the Western Liao Empire.
Zhao Jingyan said: "Then what are you going to do?"
Li Qi thought for a while and said: "We need Yelu Dashi to involve the Jin Kingdom, but we must not let him expand his power."
Zhao Jingyan said: "But we have almost no power there and can't stop it at all."
Li Qidao: "There is only one way to avoid a head-on conflict with Yelu Dashi, and that is to control the Western Region before him."
Zhao Jingyan said in confusion: "But how can we still have the ability to march westward now?"
Li Qidao: "Don't we have some troops stationed in the Hehuang area? We can first use money to win over some tribes in Tubo and use their power to unify Tubo, and then secretly support some tribes in the Huihe tribe to provoke war.
They consume each other, and when we recover and pacify the south, we can shift our focus to the west."
Zhao Jingyan said: "What about Japan? Isn't your next plan to capture Japan?"
Li Qidao: "To defeat Japan, we mostly rely on the navy, and the Fuzhou navy is enough. We concentrate our land forces to go to the western countries. We are bordering the sea in the southeast, so it is difficult to expand. If we want to expand, we can only expand to the northwest. Now the Jin Kingdom is at its peak.
When we are strong, going to a head-on fight with the Jin Kingdom will only hurt both sides and is not a wise move. Therefore, we just made this move in advance. The problem now is how we can conquer the west without consuming national power. At the beginning, the Tang Dynasty
The Tang Dynasty perished in this Western Expedition, and we must never follow the old path of the Tang Dynasty."
Zhao Jingyan smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you are destined to devote your life to the Song Dynasty."
Li Qi became silent after hearing this, and his eyes became deep.
Zhao Jingyan glanced at him and said, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Li Qi was startled and smiled bitterly to himself. I really don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing to marry a wife who knows me so well. He originally planned to deal with it, but suddenly thought of Bai Qiannuo, so he changed his words: "I don't deny this, it's not me.
I don’t believe you, but there are some things I don’t want to tell you right now. When the time is right, I will tell you everything. I hope you can understand me.”
Zhao Jingyan smiled and nodded and said: "You don't need to worry about this. I can understand it and I won't ask anymore." She is also an excellent politician. She has been exposed to these things since she was a child, so she is very able to put herself in their shoes.
I have to think about it from Li Qi's position. Today Li Qi's every word may cause an uproar. So we must be cautious.
Li Qi glanced at Zhao Jingyan gratefully and said, "Okay, you know everything you want to know. Go to bed early."
......．
After Li Qi came out of the room, Ma Qiao came over and said, "Bu Shuai, I found something wrong with the drunkard. He seems to have known that weird Jiulang before."
Sweat! I am really a nanny, come to me for big and small things. Li Qi looked at Ma Qiao and said helplessly: "Ma Qiao. There are some things that no one else can help with, even the closest ones. If the drunkard doesn't want to talk about it, then
Let him deal with it himself."
Ma Qiao frowned and said, "So, Bu Shuai, you already knew this?"
Li Qi nodded.
Ma Qiao worriedly asked: "What on earth is going on?"
Li Qidao: "Would you gossip about other people's privacy?"
"Of course not." Ma Qiao shook his head.
"That's it. This is the drunkard's private matter. He won't talk about it. It's not easy for me to talk nonsense. If you want to know, it's better to ask the drunkard."
Ma Qiao said depressedly: "I thought so, but I searched all over the government office and couldn't find him."
"Really?" Li Qi's eyes flashed with worry, but he said: "Don't worry, the drunkard is now my subordinate, and I will not allow anyone to harm him here."
Ma Qiao was shocked when he heard this. He said: "Hurt him? Could it be ---."
Ri. He spilled the beans. Li Qi smiled and fell silent.
Ma Qiao frowned even more.
......．
In the evening, in a forest on the edge of Nazhu Village.
An old man walked slowly into the woods.
"You finally came."
With a slightly trembling voice, a person walked out from under a big tree.
This man is a drunkard, and the old man naturally blames Jiulang.
Wei Jiulang smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be so anxious. Not long after I arrived, you couldn't wait to ask me out. Oh. By the way, should I call you Shihu or Drunkard now?"
The drunkard said calmly: "Whatever."
"Then let's call you a drunkard. After all, that liger is too weak and it's boring for me to play with." Gui Jiulang chuckled and said, "More than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. You have changed a lot. You were so high-spirited back then."
The liger is now just a coward who used alcohol to escape."
"This is all thanks to you. But as long as you don't change, it will be fine."
The drunkard glared at Gui Jiulang and said: "For more than twenty years, I have been living in the fear you gave me. When I heard the news that you died of illness, I thought I could be relieved. I really didn't expect that you were still alive. Since you are alive
, then I will avenge my parents and myself, otherwise I will be a son of man in vain."
He didn't want to wait any longer, and there was no need to wait any longer, because he knew the tricks and tricks, and even ten drunkards were no match for Kuai Kurang, so he just openly invited him out to fight for life or death, whether it was life or death.
It’s time to give yourself an explanation.
Gui Jiulang sighed: "After so many years, I can't believe that you still can't let go. If I hadn't seen you, I would have forgotten that I had such an enemy like you."
The drunkard said: "I also wanted to put it down, and I have already put it down, but you made me pick it up again."
Gui Jiulang said: "Then what do you want?"
"revenge."
The drunkard said simply and clearly.
Gui Jiulang nodded and said: "Okay, I will give you another chance. I will compete with you openly. But after today, no matter what the result is, this grudge should be settled. What I hate most in my life is dragging my feet."
"That's exactly what I meant."
The murderous look in the drunkard's eyes increased sharply, and the dagger he held in his right hand was already very hungry. When facing a powerful enemy like Kai Jiulang, he would not take out the big sword to scare people, and said: "Show your weapon.
"
Gui Jiulang stroked his white beard and said hehe: "My weapon has already been placed on your neck. I am defeated, so take action."
To be honest, Drunkard had never seen Kaijiu Lang take action before, and he didn't know what Kaijiu Lang's strength was, so he didn't dare to be careless. He carefully observed Kaii Jiulang for a while, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
Suddenly, he rushed forward like a cheetah.
Kaijiro put his hands behind his back and looked at the menacing drunkard with a disdainful smile on his lips.
In an instant, the drunkard came to Kaijiulang and stabbed Kaijiulang in the chest with his right hand. The position where he stabbed was exactly where he stabbed his father.
Seeing that the cold light of the dagger was approaching Kaijiulang, the wind of the knife caused a biting chill in Kaijiulang's chest, but Kaijiulang smiled to himself and did not make any move.
In this flash of lightning, the drunkard's eyes suddenly opened wide, full of fear. With a few clanging sounds, the drunkard's dagger fell from his hand. Then with a plop, he suddenly knelt down at the feet of Kaijiro.
Gui Jiulang smiled and said, "You lose."
The drunkard felt weak all over. He put his hands on the ground to prevent himself from falling, and gasped: "Despicable!"
Wei Jiulang shook his head and said: "You kill people with knives, and I kill people with poison. They are all killing people. Why should you be nobler than me? What kind of bullshit is this? You should have known a long time ago that poison is my weapon. Second
Ten years ago, I could understand that you couldn't afford to lose. After all, you were still very young at the time, but twenty years later, you still look like this, which is really disappointing to me."
"Hu---Hu---, when did you poison me?"
"When you want to kill me."
"Could it be this afternoon? How could this be possible? I couldn't have noticed it at all."
"If you could have discovered it, I would have died long ago, and it would not be your turn to seek revenge from me."
The jade-faced flying fox has always thought that he is a master of poison. If they meet the strange Kurang, the scene will be very interesting.
The drunkard finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground, but the pain in his heart was far greater than the numbness in his body. He turned around with all his strength and looked at Wei Jiulang, his eyes full of unwillingness. After a while, he
Suddenly he closed his eyes and said: "I lost, please kill me."
Wei Jiulang shook his head and said: "Don't worry, this poison is not fatal. It will only make your whole body weak. The poison will naturally dissipate after half an hour. In fact, if I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you right away. Why wait until now?"
, it’s just---it’s just that I promised your father not to kill you.”
"You---what---what did you say?" The drunkard raised his head and looked at Kaikuro in shock.
