After Guo Yaoshi spread the news that the Emperor of Liao Kingdom promised to pay the ransom, Chao Yong asked Liao Kingdom to build a floating bridge.
After Yelu Dashi built three floating bridges, he also left a lot of materials to prevent the Liang Kingdom's troops from destroying the floating bridge, and then quickly built the floating bridge.
Therefore, after Chao Yong promised the Liao Kingdom to build a floating bridge, Liao Kingdom craftsmen quickly built two new floating bridges next to the broken floating bridge.
The Liao soldiers drove the war horses across the river, and the cavalry under Dong Ping drove the war horses to the camp behind.
The generals of Daliang watched the divine horses crossing the river continuously, their eyes shining. Although after capturing Tokyo, Daliang also seized more than 10,000 war horses from the Song Dynasty, because these war horses were in a state of peace for a long time, just like the imperial guards who had not been on the battlefield for a long time, they had to go to the battlefield and train. However, the Liao Dynasty war horses were fat and strong, and could be used as war horses directly.
Yelu Dashi saw his war horses constantly crossing the river, but his heart was bleeding. He really couldn't lose a lot of rice. In the past, Liang State paid a large sum of money, but he didn't want to sell war horses to Liang State in large quantities, but now Liang State can't pay any money, but he has obtained so many war horses.
In time, the Liang Kingdom could train a pure cavalry, and with the earth-shaking firearm, the Liao Kingdom would probably not be able to fight back.
Soon, a thousand war horses crossed the river, and the Liao Kingdom also stopped to drive the war horses away.
Chao Yong smiled at Yelu Dashi and said, "Lin Ya can cross the river first."
Yelu Dashi turned his head and said to Wu Yanguang: "General, please cross the river first. I am an old acquaintance with the Prince of Liang, and I will also talk about some border matters."
Wu Yanguang was unwilling to be the first person to cross the river, so he shook his head and said, "Let the soldiers cross the river first."
When Yelu Dashi heard this, he also said to Chao Yong: "Then please let the prince release 500 people across the river."
Chao Yong turned to Lu Junyi on the side and said, "Let all the Liao soldiers cross the river, let them move faster, and don't delay us having lunch."
Li Kui stared at the bull's eyes and shouted, "Didn't it be said that the Liao Kingdom would send 1,000 war horses and let us release 500 people? All of them will be released. What if they don't send the war horses here?"
Yan Qing said: "What the Liao Kingdom wants is these generals. As long as they are there, they are not afraid that the Liao Kingdom will be liable for debt."
When Li Kui heard what Yan Qing said, he helped Lu Junyi drive away the Liao soldiers with satisfaction.
"Run quickly, be careful to take grandpa's axe if you are slow."
After Li Kui kicked his fists, the captured Liao soldiers all ran to the other side.
Chao Yong looked at Yelu Dashi and smiled, "I wonder what else Lin Ya wants to talk to me?"
Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, "I have received a detailed message that the Liang State has a new firearm, which is very powerful. But I didn't expect it to be so big that an explosion would make our southward failure. Our Liao State also knows the situation in the Central Plains. Daliang has such firearms and such a wise leader as the prince, and he will definitely be able to unify the world. However, if you and I do not sign an alliance, the prince will probably have to leave a large army in Hebei to prevent us from going south, and the pace of unification of the world will be much slower, so I suggest that our two countries sign an alliance and not attack each other. In this way, you can draw troops south or westward, and we can also transfer troops to the north and concentrate on dealing with the Jin State."
Chao Yong was not praised by Yelu Dashi and said with a smile: "After signing a covenant, there is no guarantee that you will not go south. Didn't we have a covenant before? Didn't you say that you would go south just by going south? So whether there is a covenant or not, I will leave 20,000 people to garrison in Hebei. If you dare to take advantage of the situation, I welcome it, haha."
Yelu Dashi naturally knew that no matter what, the Liao Kingdom would not go south again in the short term. After all, the Liao Kingdom's northern line was tight, so this time I went south just to see if there was any cheaper to pick up. Unexpectedly, the Liang Kingdom was not the soft persimmon they imagined, and they were bleeding from the battle.
Yelu Dashi also knew that with Yelu Yanxi's temperament, he would never take the risk of continuing to lead troops south, nor would he let the general of the Liao Kingdom lead troops south. Otherwise, if the general of the Liao Kingdom wins, wouldn't it prove his cowardice and incompetence?
The Liao Kingdom could only watch Liang's unification of the Central Plains, and with the strength of Liang's Kingdom, it is very likely that another dynasty in the Central Plains would be established.
When the Liang State unifies the Central Plains and its strength increases greatly, it is difficult to ensure that they will not focus on the north again. After all, recapturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun has always been the dream of the Han people. The Liao State made a move to take advantage of the situation. Although they were beaten back just after sending troops, it may become an excuse for Liang State to go north in the future.
Now the Liao Kingdom has only Xijing, Nanjing, Zhongjing, Xijing, and Nanjing are all boundaries of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. If Daliang is allowed to retake the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Liao Kingdom will only be Zhongjing. Moreover, based on the offensive of the Jin Kingdom, it is hard to say whether the Liao Kingdom still has Zhongjing capital at that time.
Therefore, Yelu Dashi wanted to sign an alliance with Liang State to prevent Liang State from going north to attack Liao State in the future, and even like the Song Dynasty, they would join forces with Jin to destroy Liao State.
Yelu Dashi saw Chao Yong as if he was determined to be his, and said helplessly: "My country has been established for more than 200 years and has been an alliance with the Central Plains for more than 100 years. The two countries have always been friendly. If the prince does not form an alliance with our country, our country will have to send heavy troops to defend the border, and the northern line will inevitably be tight. If the Jin Kingdom fights here, your country will probably be attacked by war. The alliance will benefit both of you and us, and I hope the prince will agree."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Lin Yadashi is afraid that I will settle the score in the autumn. I won't hide it from you. Now there are Tian Hu, Wang Qing and Tong Guan in chaos in the Central Plains, and the Western Xia invasion in the northwest. I don't have the energy to go north in a short period of time, so you don't have to worry, focus on fighting against the Jin Kingdom."
Yelu Dashi hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "After the two countries sign an alliance, our country can sell you war horses."
Although the Liao Kingdom has strictly forbidden the flow of war horses into the Central Plains, it was previously sold to Liangshan in small quantities, allowing Liangshan to restrain the Song Dynasty. Even if Liangshan accepts reunion, the Song Dynasty's addition of several thousand cavalry was not enough to affect the balance between the two countries.
However, after Liangshan captured Tokyo, the Liao Kingdom immediately stopped selling horses to Liang Kingdom. They just wanted Liangshan to restrain the Song Dynasty so as not to join forces with the Jin Kingdom to attack them. Unexpectedly, Liangshan destroyed the Song Dynasty and showed strong military strength. Naturally, they would not sell war horses to Liang Kingdom again, and they would not let the Han people form another powerful cavalry.
Yelu Dashi just wanted to use war horses as bait, first let the two countries enter into an alliance, and then find ways to delay the sale of war horses, or sell less war horses.
Chao Yong shook his head without any hesitation and said, "I can't afford it."
Yelu Dashi saw that the abacus was not made, and he was unwilling to give up. After thinking about it, he said: "There are quite a few beautiful princesses in our royal family. If the prince does not abandon it, I can ask the emperor to marry the prince. How about you and I have become the love between Qin and Jin?"
Chao Yong shook his head and said, "Daliang is not in harmony." (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
