Time flies, the sun and the moon pass by, and in a blink of an eye, another three years have passed. For Zhao Yan, he has traveled to the Song Dynasty for nearly twenty years. He has almost forgotten all the things he had before traveling. Now he has almost completely regarded himself as a native of the Song Dynasty. Only when he is sleeping at night can he occasionally dream of the bizarre world of his previous life.

Three years are not long or short. Many major events have happened in these three years. Although Zhao Yan has a high position and power, he cannot pay attention to everything, but focuses on some things related to him, such as the Liao Dynasty's extermination of the Jurchens.

Since the Song Dynasty formed an alliance with the Liao Kingdom to deal with the Jurchens three years ago, the Song Dynasty almost transported the materials to the Liao Kingdom, and then the accompanying officials supervised the whereabouts of the materials. Although the Liao Kingdom was very covetous of these materials and made some small moves from time to time, in general, these materials were mainly used to clear out the Jurchens.

It can be said that the Song Dynasty's support for materials was very hard, and the Liao Kingdom also regarded the Jurchens as the biggest threat to the north. In addition, Yelu Jun was threatened by Zhao Yan, so they also tried their best when they wiped out the Jurchens. Several elite Liao troops were sent to the battlefield in the north and fought countless wars with the Jurchens.

However, although Song and Liao countries had money and others had money, the effect of clearing out the Jurchens was not very satisfactory. At the beginning, the Jurchens who were caught off guard did suffer a great loss and were defeated by the Liao army equipped with Song Dynasty and spoke with armor. Even Aguda was almost captured alive by the Liao army. The family's wealth that Wanyan's troops had finally accumulated was almost broken up.

However, Aguda was not so easy to be defeated. After he woke up from his failure, he quickly made a decisive choice, which was to gather people and flee into the jungle again. With the advantage of the mountains and forests, the Liao army did not dare to go deeper. After several months of rest, Aguda led the Wanyan tribe to break out of the mountains and forests again, but this time he changed his tactics again. Taking advantage of their Jurchens' hard-working and quick actions, he was like a wolf pack and launched an endless harassment and guerrilla war against the Liao Kingdom.

The Jurchens were strong in physical condition. They grew up in an extremely harsh environment. They were superb in horse racing and could count horses by one person. Many Jurchens even had food, drink, defecation and slaughter on the horse's back, which also allowed them to run long distances. Maybe they were in this city yesterday, but the next day they ran to another city. They also specially selected the transportation team of the Liao Kingdom. Whether it was the civil caravan or the military grain transport team, they were all the targets of their attack.

Under the indiscriminate attack like Aguda, the Liao Kingdom also suffered a great blow. Although they sent several armies to encircle Aguda, Aguda was like a slippery loach, eased in the gaps in the chasing army, and even had the spare effort to set up many traps. Instead, it caused heavy losses to the Liao army.

It can be said that in these three years, the Jurchens and the Liao Kingdom spent this war between guerrilla warfare and anti-guerrilla warfare. Although the Liao Kingdom did not gain advantage in this war, the Jurchens were also not feeling well. After all, their number was too small and there was no national support behind them. They could only rely on the materials obtained from robbery to live and fight. Even if the Liao Kingdom exchanged ten lives for one of the lives of the Jurchens, the Liao Kingdom still took advantage in the end. Coupled with the continuous support of the Song Dynasty, the materials lost by the Liao Kingdom could be quickly replenished. With only the materials, they could recruit a large number of soldiers. Therefore, after three years of attack, the strength of the Wanyan tribe has declined much compared to three years ago.

However, the strength of the Wanyan tribe has only declined and has not been completely destroyed by the Liao Kingdom. Even though their number has decreased, it has become more cunning and cruel than before. It often cannot be lurked for several months, but once it is moved, it will definitely turn a town in the Liao Kingdom into a sea of ​​corpses and blood. The Liao Kingdom also hated the Jurchens to the core, but they can't do anything to them.

What made Zhao Yan even more worried was that Yelu Jun had become even more ridiculous in the past three years. Every year, several groups of beauties were selected to enter the palace. There were no less than a hundred famous concubines in his harem alone, let alone those talented women who were not named. Moreover, Yelu Jun had completely handed over the government affairs to Yelu Yixin, and the ministers below could not even see him for several months.

Although Yelu Yixin was quite talented, he was a nepotist. The civil and military officials in the court dared to be against him. Almost all of them were killed or demoted by him. Almost all of them were his confidants in the court. These people relied on Yelu Yixin's power and did things in the territory of Liao, which made the entire Liao Kingdom a mess. If the Liao Kingdom three years ago had only revealed a trace of the destruction of the country, then the Liao Kingdom is now slid rapidly into the abyss of the destruction of the country. Even if Yelu Jun cheered up at this time, it would be impossible to turn the tide and save the Liao Kingdom from the crisis of the destruction of the country!

"Bang! Nothing!" In the study room of the Yue Palace, Zhao Yan threw a piece of information on the table with anger on his face, and then walked back and forth in the study room impatiently, but he could not suppress the anger in his heart no matter what.

The information that fell on the table was sent back from the Liao Kingdom. The content was that Yelu Jun was fascinated by Buddhism for some reason. However, this cannot be said to be strange, because the nobles of the Liao Kingdom originally believed in Buddhism, especially Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had a wide range of believers in the Liao Kingdom. Every year, the Song Dynasty exported a large number of Guanyin statues to the Liao Kingdom. It is normal for Yelu Jun to believe in Buddhism.

But no matter what kind of things, you must be restrained, and the same is true for faith. Appropriate faith can make people have a support for their souls, but if you are too fanatical, you can only become paranoid. Now Yelu Jun has become such paranoid. He actually ignored the actual situation of the Liao Kingdom and actually wanted to build a large Buddhist temple in Shangjing, saying that it was to be compared with the Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo, the Great Song Dynasty.

You should know that with the scale and construction of Daxiangguo Temple, it is definitely a sky-high price to build it. Even with the national strength of the Song Dynasty, it has been expanded for several generations to reach its current scale. However, with the national strength of the Liao Kingdom, it would cost more than 10 million yuan to build a temple of Daxiangguo Temple. With the current situation of the Liao Kingdom, it is impossible for the huge amount of wealth to bear.

However, Yelu Jun's idea of ​​building a temple was supported by Yelu Yixin and his minions, because building large-scale buildings like this is the most convenient time to make money. It happened that Yelu Yixin and others were mostly greedy, so they naturally would not miss this good opportunity.

It is also under such circumstances that Yelu Jun's absurdity in building a large temple in Shangjing City actually passed the court. You should know that although the population of Shangjing City is not as good as that of Tokyo City, there are still hundreds of thousands. There are almost no large open space in the city. If you want to build a temple of such a large scale, the first step is to clear a piece of land from the city. This also means that hundreds of households need to be forced to relocate. This alone is a big project. In addition, the cost of building a temple will cause the Liao Dynasty to fall into a state of exhaustion and exhaustion. At that time, it is likely to become the initiator of the chaos or even destruction of the Liao Dynasty.

Thinking of the above, Zhao Yan couldn't help but walk around the room anxiously again. After a long time, he finally stopped, but he sat heavily behind the desk and sighed helplessly. Even if he had great skills, it would not be possible to affect the Liao Kingdom. Especially Yelu Jun, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, has completely become a foolish king, and he can do whatever he wants, which is impossible for others to stop him.

Just when Zhao Yan was upset about the Liao Kingdom affairs, he suddenly saw the door being pushed open, and then Cao Ying walked in. When she saw Zhao Yan with annoyed look behind the desk, she smiled and said, "Why are you worried about? "

"It's not that damn Yelu Jun, look at the good things he did!" Zhao Yan said angrily, and after saying that, he handed the information on the table to Cao Ying. He urgently needed someone to let him talk to him, and also hoped that Cao Ying could help him think of a countermeasure.

Cao Ying took the information and looked carefully, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he spoke: "No wonder my husband is so angry. Yelu Jun's approach has simply pushed the Liao Kingdom into the abyss of the destruction of the country. It is estimated that by the time this temple is built, it will be the day of chaos in the Liao Kingdom!"

"That's it. The finances of the Liao Kingdom were already very bad. Now Yelu Jun ignored the construction of any temples by the country, which was simply adding fuel to the fire. He thought he was not dying fast enough. However, if the Liao Kingdom was really in chaos, it would only give Wanyan's troops a chance to rise rapidly. At that time, as long as Aguda broke through the blockade of the northern part of the Liao Kingdom and took advantage of the situation to move south, it would probably not take long before most of the Liao Kingdom would fall into his hands." Zhao Yan said angrily again. He could not care about the life and death of the Liao Kingdom, but he could not ignore the threat of the Jurchens.

However, Cao Ying seemed very calm at this time. She said with a calm expression: "Husband, you have spent a lot of effort on a small Jurchen in recent years, but you have not been able to completely kill the other party. If the Liao Kingdom is really destroyed by the Jurchens this time, it may not be a good thing in my opinion. At that time, our Song Dynasty will face the threat of the Jurchens directly. With the strength of our Song Dynasty, it seems that it is not difficult to directly send troops to destroy the Jurchens."

"This..." Zhao Yan was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly felt that Cao Ying's words made some sense. Since he could no longer curb the rise of the Jurchens, it would be better to prepare to destroy the Jurchens as soon as possible. The Song Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty in history. He does not believe that the Jurchens will be stronger than the Song Dynasty's army.

Seeing Zhao Yan silent, Cao Ying suddenly smiled again and said, "Husband, compared to the Jurchens, things in the capital are still more important. Husband should think about what if this happens, what should you do when the husband is?" (To be continued.)
