After hearing Yelu Dilie's half-joking joke, Ma Dechen knew that something big was about to happen, and said, "It depends on the king's ambition!"
Yelu Dilie said in surprise: "Ambition? How do you explain it?"
He was originally a rude man. Since the split with the Eastern Khitan, he has been on good terms with the Central Plains and has been deeply influenced by it.
He might be a bit vulgar in front of his trusted generals, but in front of celebrities like Ma Dechen, he becomes polite.
Ma Dechen said: "Your Majesty, do you know that Ashina She'er is stubborn and has lost his thinking power? How can Qibei be as powerful as Qian Hongchu, the king of Jiaodong?"
Yelv Dilie said: "Of course I know. Ashina She'er, Zhi loses his thinking power, Qi Bi He Li. These three are all famous generals in Li Tang Dynasty. They conquered cities and territories for the Tang Dynasty and were loyal. As for Qian Hongchuyuan
He is the king of Wuyue, now living in Bianjing, and receiving courtesy from Emperor Luo..."
Although Qian Hongchu is no longer in power and has no hard power, his soft power is unique in Bianjing and even the entire Luo Yu court.
Whenever the imperial court held a banquet, Qian Hongchu was always the one at the top and closest to Luo Youdu.
Qian Hongchu always received the most rewards during the holidays.
As long as the Qian family doesn't rebel, it won't be a problem for them to live happily for several generations.
Yelu Dilie had heard about this even when he was in Yunzhou, Datong.
When he said this, he also reacted. He looked at Ma Dechen with some surprise and said: "Sir, what you want to ask is whether I would like to be a general like Ashina Sheer or the king of Jiaodong?"
Ma Dechen bowed and said: "That's why the Yunjiuzhou occupied by the king is extremely important to the Central Plains. If the king brings Yunjiuzhou and submits to the Central Plains, he will be treated with courtesy by the emperor of the Central Plains, and his treatment will be second only to Qian Hongchu, the king of Jiaodong. If the king cannot let go of his identity
, as you, after Taizong of the Khitan, were also granted the title of King of Ji by the Khitan, it is of extraordinary significance to submit to the Central Plains. Even if you cannot compare with the King of Jiaodong, you can definitely defeat Li Jing of Jiangnan, Quan Zhangliu and others. However,
Judging from the facts, at that point, it is impossible for the king to control the army."
Yelv Dilie didn't care about this at all, but asked eagerly: "I have no desire to miss the throne, but after surrendering to the Central Plains, will Emperor Luo really tolerate me, a Khitan prince?"
Ma Dechen hesitated for a while and said: "This subordinate does not dare to make decisions for Emperor Luo. However, I met Emperor Luo during the palace examination. Emperor Luo gave me the impression that Emperor Luo was open-minded and generous, and his vision was particularly long-term. Personally, I
I feel that Emperor Luo had the same magnanimity as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."
Yelu Dilie took a deep look at Ma Dechen and said, "Go and contact the Central Plains court and tell me that I, Yelu Dilie, am willing to bring Yunjiuzhou to surrender. But the Central Plains must agree to two conditions: first, treat the people of Yunjiuzhou well.
Especially the Khitan people, they must be treated equally. Secondly, the civil and military officials of Yunjiu Province must be properly arranged. As for me, let me leave it to the disposal of the Emperor of Central Plains!"
Ma Dechen was surprised when he heard the conditions, and then he bowed and said: "I accept the order."
Yelu Dilie watched Ma Dechen leave and sat on his seat with a bit of disappointment.
Yelv Dilie was very ambitious at the beginning, thinking that being the emperor was just for you: His stupid brother, who drank and stayed up late every day, could be the Khitan emperor, so how could he not be better than him?
However, when he actually took a high position, Yelu Dilie soon discovered that his original idea was too naive.
He is not the material to be a leader at all.
Before Yunjiuzhou, there was Yelu Wuzhi who was responsible for all government affairs. Yelu Dilie was like Adou, acting as a hands-off shopkeeper, practicing hunting with his cronies, bullying restless small tribes, and going to Fugu to cause trouble for the Zhe family.
However, when Yelu Jing was assassinated, Yelu Wuzhi was going to Beijing to report on his duties, and Yelu Dilie had no chance to keep the Khitan in Yue.
Faced with the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in Yunjiuzhou, and the comfort and coordination of Jiuzhou officials, Yelu Dilie was one head and two big.
In addition, he had to face the threat of the Eastern Khitan, and the Mobei Khitan also wanted to annex him. He could only survive by moving closer to the Central Plains and gaining support from the Central Plains.
Of course Yelu Dilie knew that Zhongyuan also had bad intentions, but in that situation, he had no choice.
Of course, if there was a regret medicine, Yelv Dilie might not choose it this way.
The power of Zhongyuan Huairou is far more powerful than he imagined. Even he himself can't help but sink, let alone others?
After Yelu Dilie attacked Lingnan in the Central Plains and pacified Jiaozhi, he had noticed that the center of gravity of the Central Plains was moving northward.
Yun Jiuzhou gradually lost control in his hands. He thought about surrendering, but he was unwilling to do so and could not lose face.
Especially after his eldest brother, who rebelled with him, supported the Zubu Kelie tribe, he became more and more like the overlord of Mobei.
Obviously when we were fighting for the split, we were stronger. In the end, they became the overlord of Mobei, but we surrendered to the Central Plains. To put it bluntly, we became the dogs of the Central Plains.
This is too embarrassing.
Faced with various reasons, Yelu Dilie has been holding on.
Until this accident...
Yelu Dilie had noticed that Luo Youdu had the idea of regaining Yunjiuzhou, and regarded fleeing to Mobei as his last retreat.
As a result, Xiao Shulu and Xiao Talin's battle cut off their way to the north. Instead of wasting their time and waiting for the Central Plains to find an excuse to destroy themselves, they might as well surrender to them knowingly.
Yelu Dilie was at a loss for a while, and suddenly found an inexplicable feeling of relief deep in his heart.
"Perhaps I am really not suitable to be this king! How long has it been since you last fought?"
This thought came up in Yelu Dilie's mind. He laughed loudly and strode out of the hall. He just glanced at the hall behind him and shouted: "Come here, get my armor and call Yelu Haisi."
"Thieves have invaded our borders. It doesn't matter if I watch the show from behind. Order your troops and horses and follow me to the front line to meet the enemy."
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
He put down his burdens and regained his original feeling of being a Khitan vanguard general.
Yelu Dilie no longer defended blindly, and took the initiative to gather his troops in Feng Town, which was only thirty miles away from the Mobei Allied Forces.
Yang Ye is naturally among them.
Faced with Yelu Dilie's change, Yang Ye was overjoyed. He found Yelu Dilie and said: "Your Majesty, Yang has received your Majesty's express report. The Fugu family has been destroyed. Each of the Yang family in Linzhou has five thousand Qingqi, one person and three horses.
We are gathering towards Yunzhong. In addition, Taiyuan will also send horseback infantry to the north to provide support at any time."
Luo Youdu has been trading with Ganzhou Uighurs, Qinghai Tibetans, Guiyi Army, Hengshan Qiang and various tribes in the north over the years, and has purchased a lot of war horses.
Ma Zheng is also in full swing...
In Fugu and Linzhou, there was the Lingu Horse Farm established by the imperial court, which raised more than 50,000 war horses.
It comes in handy at this moment.
Yelu Dilie was overjoyed when he heard this. He had seen the cavalry of Luo Yu court before.
When it comes to sophisticated equipment, there is no one like it in the world.
The Fugu Zhe family and the Linzhou Yang family are also famous, and they are all well-known.
With these 10,000 elite cavalry, facing the coalition forces with uneven equipment, it should not be a problem to defeat one against ten, but even against five.
And Yang Ye’s Jingsai Army...
Coupled with the powerful troops in his hands, Yelu Dilie's confidence doubled. How could he lose this wave?
Yelv Dilie was very proud and said: "The thieves have just suffered a big defeat, and their morale will definitely be greatly affected. Their equipment is not as good as ours. Once reinforcements arrive, they can go directly north, so that they will not dare to go south from now on."
Yang Ye also agreed with Yelu Dilie's proposal. When you have an advantage, taking the initiative and relying on strength to crush is the best tactic.
He was calm and wise, and specially reminded: "Before reinforcements arrive, your Majesty must not let down your guard."
Yelu Dilie was startled, and felt that it made sense. He called his trusted aides and arranged for the defense to be deployed.
After waiting for three days, they did not receive reinforcements, but they did receive news that Yelu Sage and Wu's Beggar had retreated.
Yelu Dilie was shocked and hurriedly summoned his generals for discussion.
There is only one content of the meeting, whether to pursue it or not.
Yelvhaisi immediately said: "They retreated calmly. The general thought it was better not to pursue them and beware of deception."
Xiao Shulu Lie also said: "In the previous battle, the last general did not cause many casualties to the opponent. Especially the Mobei Khitan and Klei tribe, their losses can be ignored. They are the main force going south this time, and their strength is still there
, then you have the strength to fight. If you retreat at this time, there must be a reason, and it is not appropriate to pursue."
Yelu Dilie was a little moved at first, but his two generals poured cold water on him and looked at Yang Ye.
Yang Ye also said: "It's better not to chase them. Let them harass the Eastern Khitans."
Yelv Dilie looked at Yang Ye in surprise and said, "Brother Yang, are you saying that they turned east?"
Yang Ye said with a confident smile: "If we go back like this, the two of us will lose face. Going south is not feasible, and we will probably go east."
Yelu Dilie was a little unbelieving and sent people to investigate.
Sure enough, everything was as expected by Yang Ye. Yelu Kuang and Wu Shiqi'er rectified themselves in Huangqihai for a while and then turned east.
Yelu Dilie looked at Yang Ye, who looked calm and composed, and said with emotion: "Brother Yang is a god."
Suddenly I feel a little lucky to be an enemy like the Central Plains.
Why bother?
The massive southward plundering of Yelu Kuan's beggars and Wu's beggars ended in this way, which surprised Luo Youdu who was far away in Bianjing.
But soon he was excited by Yelu Dilie's change of attitude.
He waved his fist, as long as the final negotiations for merger were completed, Yanyun Sixteen States would be completely back.
Looking at the two conditions that Yelu Dilie talked about, Luo Youdu smiled and said to the ministers: "Yelu Dilie is looking down on me. As long as I sincerely surrender, no matter whether I am Khitan, Dangxiang, Mongolia or Tubo, I will be my son of China."
I treat all people equally."
After saying that, he personally wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent to Yelu Dilie, allowing him to retain his troops to guard Zhangjiakou in Yuzhou.
As for the civil and military officials under his command, the court would also accept them one by one according to their abilities.
Yelv Dilie, who received Luo Youdu's letter, did not hesitate at all, and took only a few people with him to go south to the Holy Land in person.
**********
Khitan went to Beijing.
Yelvbishe was so angry that he broke his favorite celadon cup that he had snatched from Zhongyuan.
"Asshole! This is unreasonable!"
Yelv Bishe was originally in a good mood.
The west side is not bright, the east side is bright.
Because of Yelu Kui Sage and Yelu Di Lie, the Khitan turned its focus to the east and lost control of Mobei.
But their operations in the east were extremely smooth, and through military means, they incorporated many tribes that gave birth to girls.
The Wanyan clan, who originally refused to obey the regulations, chose to surrender to them with the efforts of Han Derang, and also persuaded the Changbai Mountain Jurchens and Pulu Maoduo Jurchens who had been entrenched in Changbai Mountain.
Now the Jurchen army occupies a certain proportion in the Khitan's establishment, and can already be compared with the Xi army.
What even Khitan Taizu Yelu Abaoji failed to do, he actually succeeded in his hands.
The battle against Goryeo was also surprisingly smooth. Their army had broken through all the defense lines set up by Goryeo on their borders, and now the army was besieging Pyongyang City.
Their specially trained siege army shone in this battle.
It can be said that everything went smoothly.
For the future decisive battle with the Central Plains, Yelu Bishou is becoming more and more confident.
Especially after hearing news from the west that his traitorous brother Yelu Sage led a hundred thousand beggars of the Wu clan southward, he put on an expression of watching a good show and even said to those around him: "
This is the spirit of a prairie man. Although King Taiping misunderstood me deeply, he is different from the traitor Yelu Dilie who betrayed his country and sought glory. The blood of our Khitan royal family flows in his bones. If he can change his ways, I will
I am willing to make him the King of Mobei and lead all tribes in Mobei."
He wanted to spread the news, as long as Yelu Sage bowed his head and gave in.
His side will be able to recognize his status, and there will be a certain level of support in terms of military pay and supplies.
When the time comes, the two groups will deal with Zhongyuan together, and they will be able to share a lot of pressure for him.
As for the future, after the troubles in the Central Plains are resolved, Mobei's little strength cannot be manipulated at will.
As a result, before the news had time to spread, news came that Yelu Kui Sage and Wu Shi Qi'er had turned around and attacked Zhongjing.
They were originally watching a play, but suddenly they were caught in the flames of war.
The key point is that Khitan is no better than the Central Plains.
The main people in Yunjiuzhou are still Han people, and it is easy for them to fortify their walls and clear the country.
As long as other herdsmen drive their cattle, sheep and horses toward Yanmen Pass, Yelu will scatter ge, and the beggars of the Wu family will be blinded.
Khitan Zhongjing is dominated by Khitan people. It is winter and there is not much water and grass.
Many Khitan people who relied on livestock for their livelihood had to keep their cattle, sheep and horses far away.
There was no time to notify all the tribes in this emergency, and they themselves didn't even know where the herdsmen were chasing the water plants.
Yelu Kuan spread ge, and the Wu family's beggar struck directly at the key point of the Khitan in the east.
Cattle, sheep and horses suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, Yelusha, who was in charge of the military affairs in Beijing, was a veteran general and reacted quickly. He repelled Yelvsu Sage and Wushi Qier head-on, and then the losses were stopped in time.
The economy of the Eastern Khitan was riddled with holes from the oppression of the Central Plains. Looking at the reported losses of cattle and sheep, Yelu Bi's heart was as sharp as a knife.
At this moment, Yelu Wuzhi quickly walked in with an indignant look on his face and said with gritted teeth: "Yelu Dilie has left for Bianjing. He has decided to lead his troops to surrender to the Central Plains!"
Yelvbi slapped his head and shouted, "How dare he? How dare he?"
"Yun Jiuzhou was taken from the Central Plains by Emperor Taizong after all his efforts. How dare he, how dare he? Traitor, sinner of the Yelu family..."
Yelu will be incompetent and furious!
How could he not know what it meant for Yun Jiuzhou to return to the Central Plains?
