Han Shizu

Chapter 863 Liao Emperor
Until dusk, with a burst of warm long live cheers, the Liao Emperor's camp in front of Baideng Mountain was in a burst of boiling, and the camp gate was opened wide to welcome the return of Emperor Yelujing.

The sound of horseshoes, accompanied by the melodious horns in the camp, looked majestic. Hunting was like fighting, and Yelvjing, who had returned from the hunt, was like a triumphant battle, which aroused the welcome of the Liao army in the imperial camp.From near to far, it spread throughout the entire camp, and the accompanying soldiers had already formed the habit of shouting a few times.

Yelujing was obsessed with hunting, but he never got off his horse day and night. As long as he didn't tire the army or disturb the people, it was fine.For the Khitan people, this is a manifestation of not forgetting their roots. After all, they are also a nation on horseback. The traditional art of bowing and hunting is worth carrying forward.

At the same time, chasing and hunting is indispensable for hunting, which can not only satisfy personal hobbies, but also practice military formations, train soldiers, and show off military prestige.And, unconsciously, Yelvjing's cohesion of the army's spirit and control over the army has also improved a lot.

About a thousand riders, in a guard formation, followed Liao Emperor Juanchen back to camp, while the knights around Yelujing were immediately covered with prey, and it was obvious that they had gained a lot.Because of this, Yelvjing seemed to be in a good mood.

Yelvjing is 27 years old, and her appearance can be regarded as majestic, especially under the background of power, with sharp eyebrows, firm outline, clean shaved lips and chin, the whole face looks extraordinarily refreshing.

"Hey, the North Privy Councilor is back?" He landed easily with a nimble figure, looked at the three noble ministers waiting in front of the imperial tent, his eyes fell on Xiao Husi, and there was a smile on his face.

"The minister sent the Han back, and I will report to His Majesty!" Xiao Husi replied respectfully.

"Okay! Today I hunted quite a lot, and I even shot a wild boar myself. It's a good time to enjoy it. You have worked hard all the way, go, follow me to earn money, and I will use today's harvest to reward you!" Yelujing said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Great King of the Southern Courtyard, you have to bring out the best wine in Yunzhou!" Yelujing looked at an old Khitan official who was following him.

"Yes!"

This old Khitan minister is naturally Yelu Talie, the great king of the Southern Academy of the Liao Kingdom. He has been sitting in Yunzhou for these years, managing the tribal states and counties in the south, paying taxes and corvees on an average basis, persuading the people to resume production, strict laws and regulations, and has made great achievements in terms of political achievements.

The spacious big tent, inlaid with gold and jade, is very rich, and decorations symbolizing imperial power and status can be seen everywhere. Yelvjing does not hide his enjoyment.As the emperor of Daliao, the co-lord of all clans, only the most luxurious utensils can show his supremacy.

He took off his cloak, took off his fur cap, touched the top of his shiny head, and stroked his sideburns. Yelvjing looked at the noble ministers standing there, and waved his hand: "Let's all sit at the table!"

The servants served the banquet, fine wine, melons, fruits, and meat were put on the table one after another. Several beautiful orchids were also called in, and the accompanying musicians also held their musical instruments to adjust. Seeing that singing and dancing were about to begin, Xiao Husi got up, He said: "Your Majesty, I am here to send you to Han to check the details of Han. The situation in the Southern Dynasty has undergone major changes, which will definitely affect the stability of our dynasty. Please make a statement!"

"Isn't it just that the Han Dynasty took over Sichuan and Shu? The next step is to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River. It's not surprising!" Yelujing responded casually.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Emperor Liao not paying much attention, Xiao Husi couldn't help it, and said with firm will.

"No hurry! No hurry!" Seeing this, Yelujing shook her hand and said, "I'll let you clean up first, it's not too late, and I will definitely listen to your report later!"

Seeing what Emperor Liao said, Xiao Hu thoughtfully sat down and said yes.Regarding the emperor's performance, the important officials of the Liao Kingdom present were not too surprised, but Yelu Wuzhi showed a little helplessness at the corner of his mouth.

This emperor is good at everything, smart, capable, and strategic. It's his temperament that always makes people feel helpless
And when Yelvjing said "later", it was more than an hour later, the sky was already dark, and the big tent under the night was brightly lit and radiant.

Calling back the singing and dancing, removing the wine and meat, and putting on milk tea, the tent became quiet, Yelvjing wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Xiao Husi, and said: "Enjoy the singing and dancing, have enough wine and food, you can talk now!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, I went to Kaifeng in the south this time. I paid a visit to the Lord of the Han Dynasty in person and had several conversations. When I returned to the north, I got a letter from the Lord of the Han Dynasty. I also got 1000 catties of gold, 2000 catties of silver, 500 pieces of silk, and 100 altars of fine wine. 10 sets of utensils used by the Han court." Xiao Husi first took out a tightly sealed letter from his bosom, and presented it to Yelujing respectfully.

Hearing this, Yelujing couldn't help being amused, and said: "I heard in the early years that the Lord of the Han Dynasty was not a generous person. The Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty gave him a generous gift, but only returned the gift with a few cattle and sheep. Now it seems that the Han Dynasty is indeed rich. Yes, the shot is also generous!"

Tearing off the unopened seal, Yelujing shrugged her nose, and could still smell a sandalwood fragrance. After reading, Yelvjing smiled even more, raised the letter paper in her hand, looked around, and said: "Han Lord In the letter, the words are sincere and sincere, and reaffirm the friendship between the two countries, we are brothers with me, treat each other as equals, live in harmony, and hope to be good neighbors forever."

Seeing Emperor Liao's attitude, the ministers present thumped in their hearts. Looking at the smiling expression on his slightly drunk face, they felt that he was confused because of drunkenness.

However, Yelvjing soon put away her smile, turned to look at Xiao Husi, and said leisurely: "However, the Privy Councilor Guanbei was so solemn just now, and he didn't talk about it, maybe he has another idea!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Xiao Husi hurriedly sang a hymn, and said earnestly: "I believe that the Lord of the Han Dynasty is the Lord of Tigers and Wolves, with great ambitions and ambitions for the world. There is a word in the Han people called honey-mouthed sword, and today's generous gifts and sweet words are intended to confuse me. Lord, paralyze our dynasty. Once it completely flattenes and consolidates the south, and frees up its hands, it will definitely tear off its hypocritical face and deal with Daliao. Besides, how can there be food and weapons, soldiers and horses, and sharpen their knives to attack their neighbors?"

Hearing what he said, Yelujing's expression became a little more serious, and he said, "Be more specific!"

As ordered, Xiao Husi immediately recounted everything that Shi Han had seen and heard, lest Yelu Jing would not pay attention to it, and told it in more detail than when facing Yelu Wuzhi and Xiao Haili.

Probably because of excessive worry, which had some self-hypnotic effects, Xiao Husi's face was tightly wrinkled, and his expression looked serious and not lacking in humor.Seeing this, Yelvjing was happy, and said: "The Northern Privy Envoy praised the Lord of Han and the Southern Dynasty a lot in his words. Could it be that he was intimidated by it?"

Faced with this kind of questioning, Xiao Husi immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't you be afraid of the Han Dynasty, but the Han country has indeed developed and become stronger today, so don't dare to underestimate it! The Southern Dynasty is our great enemy in the Liao Dynasty. I only hope that Your Majesty, be more vigilant. Prepare early!"

"Having said so much, let's sit down and have a sip of tea first!" Yelujing raised his hand to Xiao Husi, then looked at Yelu Wuzhi and other ministers, and asked, "According to what the Privy Councilor of the North said, the Southern Dynasty is currently concentrating on As for taking over the south of the Yangtze River, the so-called 'first the south and then the north', when he unifies China, he must go north to attack our Daliao! What do you guys think about this?"

Seeing that Emperor Liao finally got serious, all the ministers in the seats looked at each other, and it was Yelu Wuzhi, the King of the Northern Academy, who stood up, and replied dryly and decisively: "Your Majesty, I think the considerations and analysis of the Northern Privy Envoy are quite reasonable. , bluntly speaking about the future. There is still a battle between the two tigers, and there is bound to be a big battle between the Han and Liao, two big countries that have deep feuds and are bordering each other!"

Xiao Haili also got up and said: "In the early years, Daliao and Han negotiated a peace, only because your majesty was newly established, the army was tired and the people were exhausted, and the surrounding areas were unstable. The country needed time to resume development, appease the state department, and strengthen the national power, so it was impossible. It is a matter of expediency to do nothing. However, Han Guo took this opportunity to reform the long-standing abuses, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and aggressively conquered it, so that now, it is almost to the south.

With the power of the Jiangnan countries, they are definitely not the opponents of the Han Dynasty. If Daliao does not intervene, the Southern Dynasties will be unified in the not-too-distant future! "

Yelu Talie, the great king of the Southern Academy, also expressed his opinion: "Since the founding of the country by Taizu, the reason why our country has been able to expand thousands of miles, wipe out dissatisfaction, and merge with Yanyun in the south is all due to internal friction among the Han people in the Central Plains, and the frequent change of dynasties made it impossible It poses a threat to our dynasty. Now its power is not small, if it is unified, there will be endless troubles.

I have been in Yunzhou for many years, and I have also observed its military and political changes. Take Yang Ye, the Han general of Yanmen, who has led the army for ten years, and he has not slackened his training for a day.

I think that although the Liao and Han have been at peace for many years, secretly, the hostility of Han monarchs and ministers towards Daliao has never been reduced! "

For a while, the ministers of the Liao Kingdom present seemed to have reached a consensus and their opinions were highly consistent.
