Now, someone from the Song Dynasty actually issued an order to come to Khitan to ask for the affairs of the palace maids. This incident has reversed the status of both parties.
Yelu Dashi closed his eyes, exhaled a breath, and said silently: "Let's wait one more day."
At this time of year, no matter how bad they are, there is nothing they can do.
Relying on the few supplies provided by Yang Lin to survive alone, playing a cat-and-mouse game with the Jurchens on the cold grassland was already the end of the line.
If the cat cannot catch the mouse, it can continue to catch it. If the mouse is not careful, its life will be lost.
After landing, the general looked around and said with a mean smile: "It's okay, can the villain leave?"
"get out!"
After the general crawled away, Yelu Dashi's deputy said in a deep voice: "General, forget it. How can the imperial court help you and me? Why don't we retreat to the west and let them fight the Jurchens on their own."
"If we withdraw to the west, when will the Khitans return to their hometown?" Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, with a hint of loneliness in his voice that could not be concealed.
"Can such a court be able to restore the country?"
Although Yelu Dashi was angrier than anyone else, he still had no choice but to appease his confidants. If they didn't share the same heart with him, they would really have nothing.
"It is precisely because the court is like this that we have no right to retreat..."
Even in this situation, Yelu Dashi's shoulders were not slack at all.

Goryeo has always been the death gate of the Central Plains Dynasty. No one can touch it. It must be my vassal state.
The heroic leader of the generation, Emperor Sui Yang, wanted to conquer Goguryeo even to the death, and lost his kingdom for it; the Tang Dynasty directly attacked the capital and supported the puppet regime; when the Ming Dynasty was in trouble both internally and externally, it did not forget to send troops to quell the two Imjin Japanese Rebellions; even
The Qing Dynasty, which is like a joke, gave up everything it should and shouldn't give up. When Japan attacked Korea, it still had to send troops to fight to the death.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations, everything was in ruins, and the wounds of the war had not yet healed. When the entire land of China was still licking its wounds, someone touched this inverse scale, and they still rolled up their sleeves and fucked with him, even if the opponent was the arrogant one at the time.
A big country must ensure that this place is China's little brother.
Once North Korea no longer controls it, it is equivalent to opening a door in Youyan. Only the Song Dynasty is special, because the Song Dynasty actually has no border with Goryeo until Yang Lin takes back Youyan. Before that, the Song Dynasty and Goryeo
There is also Nanjing Prefecture of Liao Dynasty separated by it.
Since this place is so important, there is actually a reason why it was not incorporated into the national territory.
The political power of this place, for thousands of years, has always been particularly good at Sun Tzu due to national issues.
The Han Dynasty in the Central Plains basically followed the idea that "the whole world is the king's land, and the land is the king's ministers." That is to say, the world is mine, as long as you surrender, it is mine. And North Korea was full of people from the Wei Dynasty.
In the beginning, he claimed to be a vassal and paid tribute as soon as he became independent, and he has been pretending to be a grandson ever since. As long as the Central Plains is unified, or a slightly larger political power is established, no matter who rules the Korean peninsula, he will come to pay tribute as soon as possible and express his surrender to the emperor.
Furthermore, this area is severely cold all year round and is not suitable for the development of agricultural areas. Therefore, few kings want to incorporate the desolate Korean Peninsula into their territory. If they manage it personally, once the locals resist, the Central Plains will still have long-term difficulties in transporting supplies through Liaodong.
The cost of garrisoning troops is very high. As a vassal state, the Korean Peninsula is very honest and pays tribute every year. Therefore, this mechanism is relatively more beneficial. Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty has never had this idea.
, occupy this barren land.
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty is at its peak. In just a few years, it destroyed Xixia, conquered Dali, adopted Tubo, took back the homeland of Youyan, and defeated the Jurchen, the old enemy of Goryeo. This is simply a precursor to its strong rise.
Before the envoys from the Song Dynasty arrived in Goryeo, they had already sent people in advance to deliver treasures, ginseng and palace maids.
The envoys who went to announce the decree met the Korean envoys on the way. They counted three hundred palace maids, far exceeding the limit, so they happily followed them back.
---
The envoys of the Song Dynasty who went to the Kingdom of Jin to declare the decree were the most unlucky. On the way, they were worried about being beaten and driven out of the country every day. Or even worse, their lives would be in danger.
Who would have expected that when they arrived at Huining Mansion, they would receive a grand reception from the Jin Dynasty, and they would be told sternly that the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty had an equal relationship, and the evidence would be produced very seriously.
When the Liao Dynasty enthroned Dai Jin as the Great Sage Brother Emperor, he was on an equal footing with the Liao Emperor, while Song and Liao were equal.
Before leaving, the Jin people accepted the gifts from the Song Dynasty and prepared some gifts in return.
These people returned to Bianliang happily, as if they had narrowly escaped death. When they saw Yang Lin, they told Yang Lin what they had seen and heard.
Yang Lin was speechless and didn't speak for a long time. In the bright hall, the civil servants laughed heartily and mocked this barbarian tribe for actually treating themselves as an equal to a great country.
The civil servants tried their best to ridicule and laughed heartily, but Yang Lin was the only one who felt a little heavy.
The Jurchens are moving from tribe to country, which is definitely not a good thing for the Song Dynasty. The combat effectiveness and war mobilization ability of a loose tribal alliance cannot be compared with that of a country. You are here to laugh at his ridiculousness when he started, but
I don't know how quickly their strength has developed.
When a big battle begins, you can count on your fingers and you will know it is coming soon. How much stronger is our opponent? Where is the Song Dynasty?
