Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"I cannot allow my Liao soldiers to die,"

Let's do it this way.

After Guo Yaoshi relayed the news that the Liao emperor had agreed to pay the ransom,

Zhao Yuan then ordered the Liao Kingdom to build a pontoon bridge.

After Yelü Dashi built three pontoon bridges,

They also left plenty of spare materials.

After preparing for the destruction of the pontoon bridge by the Liang Kingdom's troops,

Then quickly build a pontoon bridge.

Therefore, after Zhao Yuan agreed to let the Liao Kingdom build a pontoon bridge...

Liao craftsmen quickly built two new pontoon bridges next to the broken one.

The Liao soldiers drove their warhorses across the river.

Zhang Qing's cavalry then drove their warhorses toward the rear camp.

The generals of Daliang watched as the magnificent warhorses continuously crossed the river.

Their eyes were shining.

Although after capturing Tokyo,

Daliang also captured more than 10,000 warhorses from the Song Dynasty.

However, because these warhorses had been in a comfortable state for a long time...

Like the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty, who had not fought in battle for a long time,

They need to train again before they can go to the battlefield.

The Liao warhorses, however, were plump and strong.

They can be used directly as warhorses.

Yelü Dashi watched as his warhorses continuously crossed the river.

But my heart is bleeding.

They really tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.

In the past, the Liang Kingdom spent large sums of money.

He was unwilling to sell such a large number of warhorses to the Liang Kingdom.

But now Liang Kingdom is not contributing a single penny.

But they obtained so many warhorses.

Given time,

The Liang Kingdom was then able to train a pure cavalry force.

Add to that the earth-shattering firearms,

At that time, the Liao Kingdom would probably be even less able to fight back.

Soon, a thousand warhorses crossed the river.

The Liao Kingdom also stopped driving their warhorses.

Zhao Yuan smiled at Yelü Dashi,

"Lin Ya can cross the river first."

Yelü Dashi turned to Wuyan Guang and said...

"General, please cross the river first,"

"I am an old acquaintance of the King of Liang,"

"We also need to discuss some border issues."

Wuyan Guang also didn't want to be the first to cross the river, and shook his head.

"Let the soldiers cross the river first."

Upon hearing this, Yelü Dashi

He then said to Zhao Yuan,

"Then please, Your Majesty, allow five hundred men to cross the river."

Zhao Yuan turned to Lu Junyi beside him and said,

"Let all the Liao soldiers cross the river,"

"Make them hurry up,"

"Don't delay our lunch."

Li Kui glared with his bull-like eyes and shouted,

"Didn't we agree that the Liao Kingdom would send a thousand warhorses?"

Should we release five hundred men?

"Let them all pass, what if they don't send warhorses over?"

Yan Qing said, "What the Liao Kingdom wants are these generals."

"As long as they are here, we are not afraid of the Liao Kingdom defaulting on its debts."

Upon hearing Yan Qing's words, Li Kui...

Only then did he feel satisfied and help Lu Junyi drive away the Liao soldiers.

"Run fast, or you'll get a beating from Grandpa's axe!"

Under Li Kui's fists and kicks,

The captured Liao soldiers all ran towards the opposite bank.

Zhao Yuan looked at Yelü Dashi and smiled.

"I wonder if Lin Ya has anything else he'd like to discuss with me?"

Yelü Dashi shook his head.

“I had received a message from the spies,”

"It is said that a new type of firearm has appeared in Liang State, and it is very powerful."

"But I didn't expect it to be this big,"

"A single explosion was enough to thwart our southward advance."

"We, the Liao Kingdom, are also aware of the situation in the Central Plains."

"The Great Liang possesses such firearms,"

"And with such a wise leader as His Majesty,"

"It will surely unify the world."

"However, if we don't sign an alliance,"

"I'm afraid Your Majesty will have to leave a large army in Hebei to guard against our southward advance."

"The pace of unifying the world will also be much slower,"

"Therefore, I suggest that our two countries sign an alliance treaty,"

"No attacking each other, in this way,"

"Then you can dispatch troops south or west,"

"And we can also move our troops to the north,"

"Focus on dealing with the Jin Dynasty."

Zhao Yuan, however, was unmoved by Yelü Dashi's flattery and laughed,

"An alliance was signed,"

"We can't guarantee you won't head south,"

"Didn't we already have an alliance?"

"You guys just went south as soon as you said you would."

"So regardless of whether there is an alliance or not,"

"I will leave 20,000 men to be stationed in Hebei."

"If you dare to take advantage of the situation,"

"I welcome that too, haha."

Yelü Dashi naturally knew that no matter what,

The Liao Dynasty is unlikely to invade southward again in the near future.

After all, the Liao Kingdom's northern front was under pressure.

This trip south was just to see if there were any bargains to be found.

Unexpectedly, Liang Kingdom was not the pushover they had imagined.

The first battle left them battered and bruised.

Yelü Dashi also knew that Yelü Yanxi's personality...

I will definitely not risk leading my troops south again.

They also wouldn't allow the Liao general to lead his troops south.

Otherwise, if the Liao general wins,

Wouldn't that prove his cowardice and incompetence?

Chapter 1795 Verbal Alliance

The Liao Kingdom could only watch as the Liang Kingdom unified the Central Plains.

Given the strength of the Liang Kingdom,

It is also very possible that another dynasty will be established in the Central Plains.

When the Liang Kingdom unified the Central Plains,

Greatly increased strength

It's hard to guarantee they won't shift their focus back to the north.

After all, reclaiming the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun had always been a dream of the Han people.

The Liao Kingdom then took advantage of the chaos to plunder.

Although the troops have just been dispatched.

They were sent back.

However, this could very well become an excuse for the Liang Kingdom to march north in the future.

The Liao Dynasty now only has Xijing, Nanjing, and Zhongjing remaining.

Xijing and Nanjing were both located within the territory of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun.

If the Great Liang were to reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun

The Liao Dynasty only had Zhongjing left.

Moreover, considering the Jin Dynasty's offensive,

It's hard to say whether the Liao Dynasty will still have a central capital by then.

Therefore, Yelü Dashi wanted to sign an alliance with the Liang Kingdom.

To prevent the Liang Kingdom from attacking the Liao Kingdom in the future,
