"Send the order, I agree with Yelu Abaoji's suggestion!" Li Xiang subconsciously held the message sent back by Zhang Yi as soon as possible. After thinking for a while, Li Xiang slowly said.
"Lord, my subordinates go immediately and notify Mr. Zhang Yi!" A middle-aged man dressed as a civil servant immediately excused himself.
"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord!" Liu Bowen, Wei Qing, Guo Jia and others stood up and congratulated.
Although Wei Qing was promoted to Deputy Governor of Hezhou at this time, he has not taken up the post yet. The war has ended, and the marriage of Wei Qing and Yang Lihua should also be put on the agenda.
Although the situation in the north is complicated, and Li Xiang is ready to intervene, he has no intention of taking action personally. Therefore, there is no need for Wei Qing to rush to take office.
What's more, even if Li Xiang wants to fight in person, he doesn't have the ability now. If he wants to use troops in the north, he must mobilize a large number of cavalry, and the cost of cavalry is several times that of infantry. It's simple. If there is no food, what will Li Xiang do now?
Can't do it.
Besides, Wei Qing is only a deputy governor. Even if he is away, there is still Meng Tian as the chief governor. There will be no problems in Hezhou. Wei Qing can just take advantage of this time to get married.
As for the congratulations Wei Qing and others said, they were referring to the content of the negotiation between Yelu Abaoji and Zhang Yi this time.
Originally, Yelu Abaoji wanted to test Zhang Yi first and find out the other party's real purpose and bottom line, and then talk about asking for help.
However, the fate did not work out and Yelu Abaoji wanted to wait, but the changes in the war situation did not let him wait, and the situation in Western Xianbei did not let him wait either. Facing Temujin, Western Xianbei suffered another defeat, and General Yelv De
Zhong Geng died on the spot.
There was no way, the situation was like this, Yelu Abaoji could only take the initiative to talk to Zhang Yi. Even if the Jin army had any bad intentions, the crisis on Temujin's side was even greater.
In the conflict between the princes of the Central Plains, at least both sides are Han people. But on the grassland, it is the conflict between the Xianbei, Mongolian, and Manchu people. Even though they are all grassland people, they are from different ethnic groups. They are in each other's control.
In the eyes, there is actually not much difference between them and the hostile grassland people and the Han people in the Central Plains.
Therefore, if they can join hands with the Han people in the Central Plains to survive this genocide crisis, Xi Xianbei will only applaud and be happy without any psychological burden of dealing with fellow grassland people.
However, both Yelu Abaoji and Zhang Yi are not economical, and each wants to gain more benefits. The Jin army will not really send troops here, but will only press the army to reduce some pressure on Yelu Abaoji.
However, even so, it can even be said that it is a white wolf's behavior, and it still requires Yelu Abaoji to pay a lot of cattle and sheep. The conditions are so strict, Yelu Abaoji will naturally not agree. In fact, if it is not the right moment, it is not appropriate to provoke Yilu.
A powerful enemy, Yelu Abaoji had all the thoughts to kill Zhang Yi.
Yelu Abaoji's request was that the Jin army must send troops, so that Yelu Abaoji was willing to pay enough cattle and sheep.
However, Zhang Yi could not agree to Yelu Abaoji's request. The next stage of the Jin army was mainly to recuperate and recuperate, and it was impossible to use weapons with great fanfare for a Western Xianbei.
In this way, the two sides actually had a tendency to break up the talks. However, Yelu Abaoji and Zhang Yi were not ordinary people. Even if the talks were about to break down, they still had a smiling attitude.
In the end, the two sides struggled with each other for several days, and Yelu Abaoji once again proposed a new plan, which was marriage. Yelu Abaoji was willing to marry his righteous daughter Xiao Yanyan to the King of Jin Li Xiang as his equal wife, while the Jin army and
Western Xianbei will always be friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties.
Of course, the so-called marriage is just a cover, and the highlight is the content hidden behind this marriage. Since both parties have already been married, the Jin army must give some swords, guns and armor to Xi Xianbei as betrothal gifts, and Yelu Abaoji also has to
Bring enough cattle and sheep as a dowry!
The grassland is stronger than the Central Plains in cavalry, but the Central Plains has more advantages than the grassland in all aspects. This equipment is one of them. Moreover, all the people in the grassland are soldiers. When necessary, even the old, weak, women and children can
When you take it to the battlefield, as long as you have enough equipment, the battle can still be fought.
Moreover, Yelu Abaoji also roughly guessed that the Jin army might be well-defended after the war, and if they wanted to send out troops again on a large scale, it might be very difficult. Otherwise, Zhang Yi would not be able to defeat him on this point.
Neither of them would back down.
Yelu Abaoji also had other intentions in choosing a marriage between the two parties. The army was also stationed on the border, but Temujin's attitude towards it would be different whether there was a marriage between the two parties.
If there was no marriage between the two parties, Temujin would guess that the Jin army had only a three-point chance of actually taking action, and the remaining seven points might just be a bluff.
But if the two parties get married, Temujin may think that there is a 50% chance that the Jin army will take action. In this way, more of Temujin's energy will be transferred to it, and it will also truly reduce the problems that Xi Xianbei will face.
pressure.
Of course, Li Xiang has a lot of senior advisers here, so it is natural that these things cannot be analyzed. But, will Li Xiang care?
He has only two goals this time. The first is to delay Temujin's annexation of Western Xianbei and do his best to prevent the unification of the grasslands. The second is to obtain a large number of cattle and sheep for future recuperation, especially those that can be used for agricultural production.
ox.
After originally taking over the Hetao, Li Xiang got not only a large number of war horses, but also a large number of cattle and sheep. But at that time, what was needed to transform the Huns' pasture into Li Xiang's current granary
Naturally, there are many cattle and sheep. Moreover, those cattle and sheep were also an advantageous means to attract the refugees to move to the Hetao.
After that, Bingzhou and Sizhou will also develop. Therefore, after capturing the Hetao land, the batch of cattle and sheep obtained has been almost consumed.
Now, the land of Yongliang has been newly acquired. Moreover, the land of Guanzhong is even more fertile. If it is developed well, it can be developed into another granary.
After all, the foundation of the Qin State was Guanzhong. However, it was only destroyed again after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although Yang Jian recovered greatly after taking control of this territory, he pushed it back after a great war.
The original shape.
Therefore, the next restoration of production in Yongliang Prefecture will require Li Xiang to find a source of large quantities of cattle.
But with this marriage, since Li Xiang has achieved these two goals, he won't care too much about the others. Moreover, I heard that Xiao Yanyan is known as the Pearl of the Grassland, and Yelu Abaoji is willing to give him a beautiful wife.
, Li Xiang will naturally not refuse to accept it.
