Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 464: Divide the Liao Territory
However, Aguda and his son's doubts were justified.

The Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. The Battle of Xiongzhou in Song and Liao Dynasties can be regarded as a war that shocked the entire East Asia.

Zhao Mu single-handedly destroyed the Liao forward camp, and the Song army surrounded hundreds of thousands of Liao's southern troops and captured the lands of Yingzhou and Mozhou. This allowed everyone to see that the invincible Liao Kingdom could also be defeated.

However, everyone does not entirely think that the strength of the Liao Kingdom has become weaker, but that the Song people have become too strong after years of hiding their capabilities and biding their time.

After all, there was the "Han Dynasty" before the Song Dynasty, and after the Han Dynasty was initially defeated by the Xiongnu, it maintained peace with the policy of peace and tribute. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat the Huns so hard that they couldn't take care of themselves, and even took away their golden man to worship the sky. For several generations after that, the Han Dynasty continued to carry out almost endless conquests against the Xiongnu. In the end, the Xiongnu, a nomadic empire that once dominated the grasslands, became a few words in history. And it was cannibalized by the small tribe of Wuhu.

The current reaction of the Song Dynasty is surprisingly similar to that of the Han Dynasty. They all endured the humiliation for a while, and then in the hands of King Qi, they gained a lot. All the Nanyuanfu soldiers of Liao Kingdom were wiped out in one fell swoop. The Liao Kingdom was even forced to send envoys to discuss peace and even proposed to send a princess to the Song Dynasty for marriage.

Aguda and his son had long heard these things mentioned by businessmen coming and going.

Aguda is now worried about two things. The first thing is that Song is strong and the Jurchens are weak. When it comes to the ability to conquer cities and territories, the jungle barbarians under his command are definitely no match for the regular soldiers of the Song Dynasty. If they helped Da Song here, but they couldn't get a few cities, they would lose this deal.

And the most important thing is the second thing. Currently, due to the obstruction of the Khitan and Liao Kingdoms, the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens are not yet bordering each other. If the Liao Kingdom is really destroyed in the future and the new country established by the Jurchens borders the Song Dynasty, he cannot guarantee whether the Song Dynasty will come back to eat him up.

Aguda does not believe that the Han people are "moral". In Aguda's eyes, the Han people are a more ferocious and barbaric nation than the Liao people. He didn't want to offend them easily.

He has learned the history of the Han people. The original land of the Han people was the Central Plains, and the "moral" Han people continued to expand their territory in subsequent dynasties. And today's Song Dynasty is still relatively small compared to the previous Han Dynasty.

Although the Han people also traveled south in disguise, the Han people are still in control of that land now. As for the former Wuhu, where have they gone?

And he didn't believe the nonsense that the nomads in the north were better than the Han people.

The reason is simple. If the nomadic ethnic groups are really stronger than the Han people, then why are the Han people in the hinterland with fertile land and pleasant climate, while these "strong" nomadic ethnic groups are in the barren deserts, and like the Jurchens, in the How to survive in this bitter cold jungle covered with snow all year round?
So Aguda wanted to discuss things in advance. How much benefit could they get if the Han people asked them to send troops. Even if the Han people eat and occupy more, they can still ask for it according to the covenant. It doesn't matter whether the Han people are willing to give it or not. At least there will be an explanation for the covenant in the future.

Looking at the map in front of him, Zhao Mu said: "Okay. If that's the case, let's carve up the Liao Kingdom first today."

At this time, Wanyan Zongbi handed Zhao Mu a piece of "chalk" made of clay. After all, the map was very precious and they had to reuse it. We can no longer pollute it with pen and ink.

Zhao Mu looked at the map, and then included all the sixteen states of Yanyun and the Liaodong Peninsula that the Han people had lost in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Mu then said: "These places are the ancestral lands of us Han people that have been lost for many years. We, the Song Dynasty, want to get these places back. As for the other places, Chief, come and cut them off."

Then Zhao Mu handed the chalk to Wanyan Aguda.

Aguda took a look at the chalk after taking it. Although he also coveted the land of Liaodong, they did not dare to compete with the Song Dynasty at the moment.

So Aguda wisely took all the land in Liaonan from Haixi to the border of Goryeo into his own bag. Aguda said: "If this is the case, then these places will belong to us Jurchens from now on."

After reading it, Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "Did the chief forget that we still have a family?"

Aguda looked at Murong Fu beside him, and then said: "Then how much territory does His Highness Wang Sun want?"

Murong Fu just wanted to say that it doesn't matter if his country is smaller.

But Zhao Mu took the chalk that A Gu had made and sketched it again.

Soon, the basic structure of the Liao Kingdom was divided into three major parts under Zhao Mu's division.

Zhao Mu pointed to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and the Liaodong Peninsula and said: "After the destruction of Liao, these lands belong to our Song Dynasty. And I will not take advantage of you. I am just taking back the ancestral land of the Han people. I believe You two don’t have any objections.”

Murong Fu and Aguda looked at each other, and they both said to themselves, "How dare I have any objection?" Then they both shook their heads and said, "No objection, no objection."

Zhao Mu then pointed to the location of Liao Shangjing in Mobei and said: "Brother Murong, this is the Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom. From now on, this place will be the capital of your Yan Kingdom. And the Liaozhongjing and Shangjing will be yours to revive the Yan Kingdom." Besides, you are from Xianbei. You Xianbei people have made your fortune in this area, and now you have returned to your ancestral homeland."

Looking at the land that Zhao Mu had circled for him, Murong Fu was ecstatic. He said happily: "Murong Fu, thank you, His Highness King Qi, for this."

Zhao Mu looked at Aguda at this time and said, "As for the land east of Dayan Kingdom, it will all belong to you Jurchens."

Seeing Zhao Mu's distribution, Aguda and his son were dissatisfied, but they had nothing to do. Although the land Zhao Mu gave them was much larger than before, the bitter cold there was not suitable for farming, let alone living. Although the territory seemed large, there was not much usable land.

The Liaozhongjing generation that Agu had circled before were all assigned to Murong Fu by Zhao Mu.

Aguda looked at the map in front of him. Zhao Mu and Murong Fu's family had circled away all the land suitable for living. This made Aguda somewhat unhappy.

But the dissatisfaction ended, and now Zhao Mu came with nearly one million taels of silver. The Jurchen tribe needs this money to raise an army. Although I ate a little less meat, I still got some meat. Therefore Aguda and his son did not dare to have an attack. We can only wait and figure it out later.

Zhao Mu and Murong Fu were both good at observing words and emotions.

Murong Fu winked at Zhao Mu at this time, and Zhao Mu also understood what he meant. He was afraid that the Jurchens would not agree. I want to give more of my share to the Jurchens. Or you can exchange your own land with that of the Jurchens. Murong Fu just wanted to revive the Yan Kingdom right now. As for where the Yan Kingdom was, he didn't really care. Even if the geographical location is slightly different, it doesn't matter.

But Zhao Mu shook his head.

After all, this pit of uneven spoils was left behind on purpose by him. If it is solved now, how can he destroy the Jurchens in the future?
