The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Yelu Dashi fled far away from the Western Regions. His purpose was to accumulate strength and revitalize the Khitan spirit so that one day he could defeat the Jurchens and restore the country. Of course, the treason of the Song Dynasty secretly colluded with the Jin Kingdom in the back and stabbed them in the back, which also kept it going.

He was worried that the Song Dynasty was also his enemy in his heart. The battle for Gaochang was to curb his intervention in the affairs of the Western Regions, but they still chased him here from thousands of miles away.

At first Yelu Dashi was not afraid of the Song Dynasty. After all, he had defeated the Song army with more than 10,000 remaining soldiers, killing them everywhere. If it weren't for the situation at that time, he might have been able to wipe out them completely. But with this, he might have been wiped out.

In recent years, news about the Central Plains has been heard. When the Song Dynasty was destroyed, the King of Yan, who had become famous for a while and returned to silence, suddenly emerged from a new force. Not only did he repel the Jurchens who were at the city, but he also sat on the ground.

The throne married the princess of the Great Liao Dynasty.

In the following years, the Song Dynasty gradually recovered under its leadership and fought with the Jin Kingdom several times in the Central Plains and the Northwest. It not only regained its hometown, but also occupied the Khitan land and occupied four of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom.

Beijing, compressed the Jurchen power to Liaodong and Mobei. Among them, rumors about the new emperor of the Song Dynasty were endless, saying that he was the reincarnation of a god, able to summon wind and rain, and predict things like gods. The Song army used him from heaven.

The magical artifact brought is extremely powerful.

Yelu Dashi still disagreed with all kinds of rumors. As the overlord of one side, he certainly understood that many of them were made up by people to create momentum. In order to prove that they were orthodox Liao, did he also have a scam of the heavenly entrusted royal power!

He was very interested in the sudden increase in the combat effectiveness of the Song army. After all, he had fought with the Jurchens for many years, but he was defeated repeatedly and was even captured by him. Although there were his own reasons, he was the combat effectiveness of the Jurchens.

Still know.

However, the Song Dynasty's manufacturing and use of new weapons was in a semi-public state, and the details were kept confidential, and the Jurchens, who had the most benefit, kept silent about this. Therefore, outsiders could not understand the details of it and knew the Song army's new weapons.

The specific data are mostly from the descriptions of bystanders. This made Yelu Dashi think that the secret of the Song army's invincible was just a rash statement and exaggeration of passers-by, but he no longer took the improvement of the Song army's combat power lightly. He regarded it as a potential opponent

For this reason, he also launched an expedition, hoping to create a fait accompli when the Song forces entered the northern part of the desert, but returned in vain.

For a period of time, Song and Western Liao were not bordered and far apart. They could be said to be peaceful when they lived their personal life. It was not until Gaochang State formed an alliance with Song and asked to send troops to help drive Liao. This led to the first time that the Song and Xia coalition forces entered Gaochang.

, because the Western Liao was unprepared for this, he suffered a loss. As a result, he was rushing westward at that time, Yelu Dashi did not use troops to seize it again, but instead used counter-espionage to send people to secretly lobby Bilege to make him confident

The outspokenness is so that he can get into evil with Song.

Bile Ge is a person who has the courage to cause trouble and has no courage to resist trouble. As expected, when the Song Dynasty released the words of sending troops to punish him, he immediately became timid and hurriedly sent gifts to Yelu Dashi for help. In this way, the Western Liao soldiers regained their bloodless revenges Gaochang.

The control of the Song Dynasty and gained more benefits. Song Xia was busy with a fight that was equivalent to making a wedding dress for the Western Liao Dynasty. Yelu Dashi did not believe that the Song Dynasty would really send troops to Gaochang. The road was long and difficult, and he could supplement the difficulties and fight the Western that was good at fighting.

The Liao army had to give up in the end, and he concluded that the expedition was an impossible task for the "spoiled" Song army.

But the Song army quickly gave Yelu Dashi a surprise. They not only came, but also seized the city and captured the villages and defeated the two large tribes of Zubu and Naiman who had been entrenched in the northern part of the desert for hundreds of years. In winter, they crossed the Altai Mountains into Gaochang.

When he wanted to take advantage of his exhaustion to send troops to wipe out the entire battle, the Song army slapped him loudly, and only used some supplies, the miscellaneous troops defeated his 30,000 cavalry. If it weren't for their mercy, they would have captured them.

It was really a piece of armor that never returned, but it also made him know from his soldiers that the Song army did have magical artifacts in hand, and that they could only move mountains and seas...

At this moment, the news of King Bilege of Gaochang surrendering in Xiancheng had reached Western Liao. The Song army had divided its troops to collect Yanqi City and was advancing towards Kucha, less than 300 miles from the border of Western Liao. What made people angry was

Another Western Liao army was still fighting fiercely in the Tarim River area. When the two countries sent troops, they had an agreement that all they needed were provided by the Gaochang army. Now, in order to please the Song people, that bastard Bile ordered the severance of the Western Liao army.

All military supplies, and once the Song army occupied Kucha, detoured southward, it cut off its return home, which put them to death.

The Song army had made good friends with the letters of the Princess of Shu Kingdom, and after the victory, they released more than 20,000 soldiers from Xiao Hanlila, and returned all the swords, guns and horses seized, fully expressing their kindness. Ke Yelu

Dashi didn't think so. How could he forget that the Song people liked to do the most was to call brothers on the surface and secretly make a knife. Therefore, he thought that the Song army was just using delaying tactics to avoid fighting on both sides and gain time for himself to successfully capture Gaochang.

Everything is just forced by the situation. The facts proved that the Song army had succeeded, and it was time for them to take action!

"Order all Gaochang's troops to withdraw immediately and closely monitor the Song army to see if they have the intention to attack us!" Yelu Dashi understood that he was now in a crisis that he had never experienced before, and he said to Xiao Hanlila.

"Khan, now the Xia army is entangled with our army. If you evacuate rashly, you will suffer huge losses. You should send troops to support me!" Xiao Hanlila thought for a while and said.

"We are now being attacked from three sides. If we send troops to support us, we need to draw from the army that resists Seljuk. At this moment, the war is about to break out. If Sanjar takes the opportunity to attack or the Song army invades the territory, we will have no soldiers to use!" Before Yelu Dashi could speak

The Deputy Privy Councilor Xiao Chalaa was inconvenient to oppose sending troops into Gaochang again.

"Then should we watch them being chased by the Xia army and lost all the losses? That's a 20,000 army!" Xiao Hanlila said with some angrily. Retreat is the most difficult, especially since the opponent's strength is still there.

In the case of this, it is difficult for the retreating party to escape unscathed.

"King, please forgive me for offending me. It is not that my subordinates intentionally give up their robes, but that even if we send troops to respond, the Song army has already arrived in Yanqi. Once they suddenly send troops to cut off our retreat after reinforcements arrive, they may have one soldier and one soldier

Even if you can't retreat, you have to take reinforcements!" Xiao Chalabu said to him.

"This..." Xiao Hanlila was speechless. He knew that the situation was completely possible, but he was unwilling to give up like this. "Khan, they broke through alone without reinforcements and had no chance of winning if they had no food and grass.

, Can we be with the Song army..."

"Negotiation with Song?" Yelu Dashi said with a frown. He knew the current situation very well. If he fought against the two major powers alone, he would undoubtedly be defeated. Even when the Song army fought with Seljuk.

If you don't help each other, you will definitely be very injured while sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight. If the Song army takes action now, they will definitely be defeated. Then there is only one way to solve the problem of being attacked on both sides, to form an alliance with Song or Seljuk, so as to

Two fights and one avoid the threat of being attacked by the enemy behind the scenes and face the enemy with peace of mind. But who to form an alliance with is a difficult choice. Otherwise, not only will the crisis not be resolved, it may also lead the wolf into the house and threaten the fundamental interests of the Western Liao Dynasty.

"Khan, I think this is the case, and there is no better way!" Xiao Hanlila said.

"Are the king afraid of being beaten by the Song army? He actually wants to negotiate with our enemies? Have you forgotten his villain's behavior that betrayed the century-old covenant and had to repeat the same mistakes and do things to do with the tiger!" Yelu Yanshan, the king of the Nanyuan Office, listened to the

He sarcastically suppressed his anger.

"Khan, I am not afraid of the Song army, but the strength of the two armies is very different and they cannot resist each other!" Xiao Hanlila ignored Yelu Yanshan's harsh words, but expressed his thoughts to Yelu Dashi again.

"Yeah!" Yelu Dashi looked at Xiao Hanlila and said, he knew his character. Since he left, he followed him to fight, brave and good at fighting, and made great contributions to the founding of the country, he was definitely not a person who was greedy for life and feared death.

The reason why you can say such despairing words is also out of helplessness.

"Great Khan, I think negotiations with Song are feasible!" said Yelu Shuxue, the envoy of the Tongzhi Privy Council.

"Oh, tell me the reason!" Yelu Dashi turned his eyes to him and said. Although his expression remained unchanged, he was secretly happy. In fact, he had already decided on the case in his heart, but he was worried that the ministers would not be able to speak out in a blunt manner. Of course, someone stood up and said it was just right.

meaning.

"The Khan, the Seljuks are cruel and tyrannical, Sanjar is greedy and arrogant, and regards himself as the leader of Islam, and wants to regard our country as a pagan. If he becomes an alliance with him, he will not treat him equally. He will also force us to believe in him.

Religion, if you return the newly occupied land, the two countries will find it difficult to live together, and sooner or later war will break out." Yelu Shuxue said, "While the Song Dynasty is different. We are in the Central Plains, we have lived together peacefully for a hundred years, and have a common enemy. Its new

After the throne, he always treated my Khitan people well and married the princess of Shu as his concubine. It can be seen that his master was not hostile to us. Although he had fought with us for Gaochang, he took the initiative to give in and kept his hand everywhere after the battle.

I showed great kindness, showing that he did not want to be enemies of us!"

"Well, the analysis is good, you continue!" Yelu Dashi smiled and signaled him to continue speaking.

"Khan, I think the Song army's western expedition to Gaochang was intended to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions, not to expand territory, but to the Central Plains, it is too deserted. If we are intimidated, it is necessary to maintain a large army stationed here, and food and grass

All weapons need to be solved by the mainland, which is not a long-term solution. Therefore, they must be willing to form an alliance with us, and often plunder the Great Song caravan and collect heavy taxes of Seljuk!" Yelu Shu and Xue Yan said...
