Three hundred and fiftieth chapters Liao general ransom
Chao Yong and Zhong Shidao also talked about this issue, but Zhong Shidao originally speculated that the Western Xia sent up to 300,000 troops, and it would take some time to assemble these many troops. At that time, the Western Army's various troops might have returned. However, the time for the Western Xia to assemble was significantly shorter than that of Zhong Shidao's prediction, and the number of troops exceeded that of Zhong Shidao's prediction.
After Chao Yong decided to repel the Liao Kingdom, he led his troops to assist the Western Army to fight against the invasion of the Western Xia troops. Therefore, he was unwilling to fight the Liao Kingdom to death here to avoid hurting too many soldiers.
Chao Yong stared at Yelu Dashi and said, "Lin Ya Dashi is really smart. I don't hide it from you. Daliang is really unintentional to go north now. However, Daliang is not willing to give up in a lot of land. As long as you dare to cross the border, my Daliang soldiers will definitely hit you head-on. If there is another next time, I will definitely lead troops north to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. I hope you don't challenge my patience again."
Yelu Dashi heard Chao Yong want to let them go back and bowed: "Daliang has such a firearm, which is enough to ensure that the country is not lost. When I go back, I will persuade our emperor to give up the southern expedition and make an alliance with Daliang."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Whether you can go back depends on whether your emperor is willing to pay."
Li Kui waved his axe and said viciously: "The prince needs more. If the dog emperor of Liao Kingdom is unwilling to pay, I will cut it to the fullest."
Chao Yong looked at the captive Liao generals and shook his head and said, "Isn't it a waste to kill them? They are all strong and strong. If the Liao emperor is unwilling to pay, he will be sent to dig up charcoal. Tian Hu caused chaos in Hedong, but the carbohydrate in the capital is not enough."
Tokyo has a population of over one million, but the people in the city rarely use firewood. Carboniferous, that is, coal, is used to burn fire. It is not wrong to say that the large-scale application of carboniferous has promoted the birth of a city with a population of one million, because without carboniferous, it is difficult to solve the firewood and charcoal burned by millions of people.
Most of the carbohydrate used in Tokyo comes from Hedong, but Tian Hu is in trouble in Hedong, and the output of carbohydrate has dropped a lot. Daliang is temporarily unable to use troops to Hedong, so he can only increase the output of the carbohydrate farms within the jurisdiction to supply Beijing.
After conquering Tokyo, many such problems related to people's livelihood emerged. Although Chao Yong ignored political affairs, he still knew something.
When the Liao generals heard that the Prince of Daliang was planning to let them go to mining, they couldn't help but feel angry. However, with Li Kui staring at him, they did not dare to speak rudely. After the grassland tribe was defeated, it was normal to be a slave. Mining was not too insulting them, and it was not enough to make them resist to the death.
What's more, they believed that the Emperor of Liao would definitely redeem them. Yelu Dashi was one of the few handsome men in the royal family, and Wu Yanguang was the most brave general of the Liao Dynasty. The emperor could not give up on them. As for them, the Prince of Daliang should not offer too high prices, and it is probably only a fraction of the ransom for the two. The emperor would naturally not be stingy with the fraction of the money he paid for.
Yelu Dashi was not a pedantic person. He didn't say anything about dying than letting the Liao Kingdom pay the ransom, and he did not threaten Daliang again. Before the war, Liang Kingdom was not afraid of going to war, and now he has won for a while. Naturally, he will not accept the threat from the Liao Kingdom.
"I wonder how much ransom the prince is planning to send our country?"
Chao Yong smiled and said, "No gold and silver, just war horses. If I want less royal heroes like Lin Yadashi, it is also an insult to your Liao royal family. Lin Yadashi, why don't you give me some advice?"
Yelu Dashi heard Chao Yong throwing this difficult problem to him. He was stunned and thought for a while and said, "Although I am a royal family, I am already a subordinate branch of the royal family. My identity is really not very noble."
When Chao Yong heard Yelu Dashi talk about something with his side branch, he naturally would not let him get over there. He smiled and said, "But Lin Ya Dashi is still the top scholar in the Liao Kingdom and a general in the South Court. Such a status should be quite good. Of course, if you say you are only worth one horse, I will only want one horse."
Yelu Dashi couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard Chao Yong say this. If he was an idle person, he could say that he was only worth a horse, but when it comes to the official position of the Liao Dynasty, he had to be cautious. Whether it was the top scholar in the Liao Dynasty or the general in the Liao Dynasty, he had a prominent status. If he said it low, he would inevitably be jealous of some petty colleagues. Besides, if he said it too much, he would also be related to the image of the country. The top scholar in the Liao Dynasty was only worth a horse. If he spread it, wouldn't it make the world laugh and be laughed out loud and be praised as a joke. But if he talked too much, he would probably be attacked by other ministers when he went back.
Yelu Dashi, who has always been extremely smart, actually found that he didn't know how to deal with it.
Chao Yong was not in a hurry, turned his head and looked at Wu Yanguang wearing a golden chain mail next to him, and smiled and said, "It's clear that your identity is not low. How much war horse are you worth?"
Wu Yanguang said angrily: "A thousand war horses will be out of my own ranch."
"good."
Chao Yong pointed to the generals behind him, and they all said hundreds of war horses. One general saw how many others said, and Chao Yong nodded, and then he was stolen and said that he was only worth ten horses.
Chao Yong looked at the prisoner in excellent armor and shook his head and said, "Who brought the Liao generals? The value of ten horses is worthy of coming to see me? I cut it off."
The Liao general thought he could get away with it, but he didn't expect that Chao Yong actually issued the first killing order and hurriedly said: "I'm worth a hundred horses."
This Liao general was eager to capture Suo Chao. Seeing that the Liao general was well-armed, Suo Chao captured him alive to seek credit. Unexpectedly, this guy made him lose face in front of everyone. He couldn't help but be so angry that his face turned pale. He pushed away the two prisoners next to him, grabbed the guy and pushed outside.
Seeing this, Liao general hurriedly said, "I am worth five hundred horses and five hundred best war horses."
In fact, he is not as high as the Liao generals in the previous years, but in order to save his life, he can only shout a more attractive number. If someone asks him later, he will use his good horse to make up for it. After all, as a nobleman of the Liao Kingdom, their families have considerable ranches.
As a military general, Suo Chao was extremely sensitive to war horses. He heard that this guy was worth five hundred war horses and couldn't help but look at Chao Yong.
However, Chao Yong looked at the people who were talking before and smiled and said, "Can you be worth less than him?"
After the Liao general was taken over, he subconsciously asked the high-ranking people to stand in front. In fact, his status was also very obvious.
When the first few people heard the Liao general shouting such a big number, they secretly decided to go back and teach him a lesson, they could only increase their ransom, but no one exceeded Wu Yanguang's offer.
Chao Yong heard that Liao general gritted his teeth and said awesome numbers, which made people record it.
After the last person finished speaking, Chao Yong said to Yelu Dashi: "Have Lin Ya Dashi thought about it?"
Yelu Dashi said: "General Wuyanguang is worth 1,000 war horses. I just have one more royal identity, even if it is 1,500 war horses."
