Li Chuwen is about 60 years old, with a medium figure, slightly fat body, a little pale hair, looks energetic, and his eyes are even bright and bright, revealing a sense of reserve and arrogance. He speaks slowly, but he is very energetic, and has a smile on his round face, but his every move always gives people an unfathomable feeling.
Li Hu felt this way now. He didn't know which ones in Li Chuwen's words were true and which were false, and they were invisible.
Li Chuwen's mission this time is as always, as it is to marry or join forces to attack Jin.
Last year, due to the Jurchens' voluntary retreat, the cooperation between the two sides was abandoned halfway, but this time, the Jurchens got Yelu Yuji and his 100,000 army, and their strength increased sharply and they would not take the initiative to retreat. However, because the Liao Kingdom lost Yelu Yuji and his 100,000 army, they completely lost the ability to counterattack and had to fight to the death. Moreover, if they wanted to block the Jurchens' attack, they had to join forces with Li Hu.
The Jurchens' strength increased sharply, which was also bad news for Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army. If the alliance with Jin to attack Liao, the Liao Kingdom will be over, and the lips will be lost and the teeth will be cold. The next one will be Li Hu.
The Khitans had already guessed that Li Hu had the idea of three-point Liaodong with a three-point Liaoning.\In the past, because the Khitans were the only one in the family, if his idea was successful, the premise was to join forces with the Jin to attack Liao, so Li Hu and the Jurchens married. Now the situation has changed, and the strength of the Khitans and the Jurchens has been reversed. Now, in order to maintain the country's destiny, the Khitans had to face up to reality, seek three-point Liaodong, and then gain respite for themselves. Therefore, the tone of the Khitans completely changed and they took the initiative to propose the idea of three-point Liaodong. Similarly, in the current situation where the Jurchens' strength has increased sharply, if Li Hu wanted to achieve three-point Liaodong, he had to work with the Khitans to join forces with the Liao to attack Jin.
Li Chuwen's way of saying this was very clever. He took the dangerous situation of Li Hu and the Liaodong rebel army under the current situation as a prerequisite, and proposed the idea of joining forces to attack Jin and reaching Liaodong in three parts. This not only completed the mission on this mission, but also maintained the dignity and face of the Khitans.
Li Hu immediately expressed his willingness to join forces to attack Jin and accept the idea of three-point Liaodong.
Li Hu's attitude made Li Chuwen very happy, and the two sides immediately entered the detailed negotiations.
At the beginning, the negotiation between Li Hu and the Jurchens was very simple, and whoever captured the territory would belong to whom. This time the negotiation with the Khitans was complicated because this was the third division of Liaodong. If the Jurchens were controlled on the Northeast Road, the first thing to do was to block the Jin army in Zhongjing, and the next thing was Li Hu's territory. He wanted the Southeast Road, that is, at least he had to obtain Nanjing Road. This was obviously impossible.
Li Hu immediately said that he was dead. If you don’t divide the territory well, I will not help you defend Zhongjing. I will not do such a surrender.
Since Li Chuwen has come and since the Khitans have no choice but to propose the idea of three-point Liaodong, they have certainly made all preparations.
Li Chuwen was calm and immediately threatened Li Hu.
"Even if my Great Liao lost Tokyo, Shangjing and Zhongjing. But there are also Nanjing, Xijing and southwest and northwest roads, the vast deserts and grasslands of the two routes. What is particularly important is that we have the century-old ally of the Song Dynasty." Li Chuwen pointed to Nanjing on the map and said with a smile, "You can take a closer look. After the Jurchens occupied the entire Northeast Road and the Three Capitals, if I, the Great Liao, took the initiative to return the seven states in front of the mountain to the Song Dynasty and abolished the 500,000 yuan a year, then with the strength of our Great Liao and the Song Dynasty, we can completely block the Jurchens in the Northeast Road. In this way, the three-part pattern can be formed, the Great Liao Kingdom can be protected, and the situation in Liaodong can be stabilized, but you and your army have no place to stand. Whether it is the Jurchens or the Song people, who dares to take in your big tiger? Song and Jin had an alliance, and with the relationship and strength of their two countries, they can join hands to drive you into the sea. It is easy."
Li Hu changed his color in shock, and he calculated it all the time. He just missed the hundred-year alliance between the Khitans and the Song people. The Song Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and the Northern Expedition is delayed. If the Khitans handed over Youyan to the Song Dynasty in order to protect the country and abolished the annual monies that caused the Song Dynasty to suffer a hundred years of shame, would the Song Dynasty not agree? How could they not pick up the advantage of this world?
For the Khitans, if they let the Jurchens or Li Hu capture Youyan and push the great Liao Kingdom into the abyss of defeat, it would be better to give Youyan to the Song Dynasty and turn the enemy into friends. In this way, the Liao Dynasty lacked the most terrifying enemy and the most powerful ally, and then rely on the power of the Song Dynasty to block the aggressive Jurchens and rely on the assistance of the Song Dynasty to obtain a chance to make a comeback.
This is an impeccable strategy to preserve the reign of the Great Liao Kingdom.
However, the Liao Dynasty had not yet reached its end and did not want to sell its dignity. It also wanted to rely on its own strength to turn the tide, so Li Chuwen came to western Liaoning for the second time.\
Li Chuwen saw Li Hu's eyes and knew that this sentence had worked. He smiled without stroking his beard. "My envoy from the Great Liao Dynasty has already rushed to Bianjing and is seeking the help of the Song Dynasty. If the Jurchens immediately launched an attack and captured Zhongjing, the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty will issue an order to implement this policy unless you can change your course and take the initiative to join forces with us to attack Jin to ensure the safety of Zhongjing."
The implication is that you, Li Hu, are so powerful, don’t fantasize about expanding your territory anymore. Stay honestly on your side of the three-point ground, create a three-point pattern, and temporarily take you for a while. If your ambitions are expanding and your eyes are always staring at Yanjing, I will let you have nothing and let you roll into the sea to be a pirate.
Li Hu personally sent Li Chuwen to the inn. The two of them were sitting in the same carriage. During the chat, they naturally talked about Yelu Yujiu and the dispute over the imperial rule.
In principle, Li Hu had agreed to Li Chuwen's suggestion, so Li Chuwen was in a good mood and thought that he had eaten Li Hu so hard that he was so worried about Yelu Yu's rebellion in his words, and unconsciously leaked his deep concerns about the future situation in the palace tent.
Li Hu immediately noticed it, so he asked tentatively, "As far as I know, this time Yelu Yuji rebellion was caused by the imperial rule. If the imperial rule is not resolved, things like Yelu Yuji will not be eliminated. If the emperor cannot learn from the lesson and is still hesitant about the imperial rule, then who can guarantee that the second Yelu Yuji will not appear in the future?"
This sentence hurt Li Chuwen's thoughts, making the prime minister frown and look melancholy. Fuck. Fuck.
Li Hu hesitated for a moment, and then asked again: "I heard that Yelu Zhangnu rebelled in the past because of the imperial rule. He seemed to support King Yan as the emperor, but King Yan was unwilling to bear the reputation of usurpation and did not agree."
Li Chuwen looked at Li Hu, nodded slightly, and said nothing, but he told Li Hu with his eyes that he was looking forward to Li Hu continuing to talk.
Li Hu decided to test it again. Li Chuwen was cunning and would not have any valuable things if he didn't give him some ruthlessness.
"Why did the Han people and the Jurchens rebel? Why did the Daliao army lose again and again?" Li Hu sneered, "The reason is that this emperor is debauchery and injustice, harming the country and the people. If the Daliao still dominates the world, even if I help you defend Zhongjing, it is hard to guarantee that the second and third Yelu Yuji will not appear. How many troops are there in the Daliao now? If two or three Yelu Yuji are sent out, the Daliao army will become the Jurchen army, what else do you use to maintain the three-point pattern?"
Li Chuwen lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Hu clenched his fist and shook it twice in front of Li Chuwen. "In my opinion, the emperor of the Great Liao should be the King of Yan. Only he can turn the tide. Now the emperor has completely lost the people's hearts. No matter how hard we try, it will be difficult to reverse the situation."
Li Chuwen was silent for a long time and suddenly smiled slightly, "Is this your plan of disagreement?"
Li Hu also smiled slightly, "Of course, the dispute over the imperial rule broke out at this moment, or the King of Yan usurped himself into the emperor, which may cause the Great Liao to collapse in an instant, but if I think about it carefully, I really can't believe that the current emperor's ability to turn the tide. If this foolish emperor ruins the Great Liao, it would be better to take a gamble. Perhaps the King of Yan will be able to turn the tide and revive the Great Liao."
"So, are you going to marry the daughter of King Yan?" Li Chuwen said a pun.
Li Hu laughed, "Will the King of Yan be the emperor?"
"The problem is not the King of Yan, but who is willing to be the second Yelu Zhangnu." Li Chuwen smiled, "There is no longer a second Yelu Zhangnu or Yelu Chentunu in the palace tent today, so your plan of disagreement will not play any role."
Li Hu understood. The reason why the emperor was cruel to kill Concubine Wen and his son-in-law Xiao Yu, and caused the Wenfei family to suffer the disaster. He did not want Yelu Chun to control the palace tent and control authority by controlling the new emperor. But he never expected that Yelu Yuji had the lessons of Yelu Zhangnu and Yelu Chentunu, and he actually led a hundred thousand troops to the Jurchens. This was the root of disaster planted by the emperor and the root of disaster planted by Yelu Chun. The king and his ministers fought openly and secretly, and finally destroyed the reign of the Great Liao Kingdom.
Li Hu suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, a mistake that was enough to cause the entire Liaodong rebel army to be wiped out.
From my father's story, we can know that the Liao Dynasty was destroyed and was destroyed by the Jurchens. Whether Yelu Yu saw the surrender of the Jin Kingdom or not, it was wrong to fantasize about establishing a three-point pattern in Liaodong, because the Liao Dynasty was already rotten in the roots and could never survive again.
Yelu Yu saw the surrender of the Jurchens destroying the Great Liao Dynasty, but at the same time it also brought an opportunity for development to the Liaodong rebel army.
