In Liaoyang City, Yelu Yujian rode a horse and walked on the street, enjoying the awed looks of pedestrians on the street.

During this period, Yelu Yujian was also proud of the success. He captured Liaoyang City. This was the first time that the Khitans defeated the Jurchen army on the battlefield since the Jin Kingdom launched its army. Although this victory was achieved with the assistance of the Zhou Dynasty navy,

, but it still cannot conceal Yelu Yujian’s talent.

Therefore, Yelu Yujian's name immediately spread throughout the Liao Dynasty, and many Khitan people regarded him as the savior of the Liao Kingdom. Some even traveled thousands of miles to Liaoyang Mansion just to serve under his banner.

This also allowed Yelu Yujian's strength to expand rapidly. Now he has more than 70,000 troops, and more than a dozen states around Liaoyang are under his jurisdiction.

Thinking of this, Yelu Yujian couldn't help but curl up his lips and his eyes were full of pride. These were the capital for his rise in this troubled world.

As for Yelu Yanxi in Zhongjing, he had long been ignored by Yelu Yujian, so he found an excuse to evade his recruitment several times.

Yelu Yujian was not afraid that Yelu Yanxi would fall out with him. After all, with the current situation in the Liao Kingdom, if Yelu Yujian also turned against him, the entire Liao Dynasty would immediately fall apart, and Yelu Yujian would be able to stand on his own by then.

"Destiny is impermanent, and only the virtuous can live in it. If Ning Fu can do it, why can't I?"

Yelu Yujian whispered secretly.

However, thinking of Ning Fu, Yelu Yujian's face also became a little gloomy.

He refused to go to Zhongjing. It is estimated that many people saw his ambition, and Da Zhou even sent people to contact him.

From a common sense point of view, it is indeed beneficial for Yelu Yujian to join the Zhou Dynasty at this time. After all, with their support, if something happens to Yelu Yanxi in the future, he will be very sure to win the throne of Liao Kingdom.

However, Yelu Yujian had always disliked the Han people, especially since he had an old grudge with Ning Fu, so he did not believe that Ning Fu would sincerely help him. Instead, he suspected that Da Zhou wanted to use him as a puppet to seize the military power from him.

Compared to Dazhou, Yelu Yujian believed in the Jurchens more. Although he had despised the Jurchens in the past, with the rise of the Jurchens, Yelu Yujian also saw the strength of the Jurchens.

Therefore, Yelu Yujian left behind the lives of the Jurchen prisoners of war, and then through these prisoners of war, he got in touch with the top brass of the Jin Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Jin even promised him that as long as he was willing to join the Jin Dynasty, it would support him to become the king of Liao in the future, and even give him the entire Liaoyang Mansion as a fief.

Although Yelu Yujian was not willing to be just a king of Liao, and he also doubted whether the Jin State would fulfill its promise, it didn't matter. Yelu Yuji didn't intend to sincerely surrender to the Jin State. He just planned to use the power of the Jin State.

Contain the Great Zhou Dynasty in the south and buy yourself more time to develop.

Yelu Yujian came to his mansion, then swung his saddle and dismounted.

This was originally the imperial palace of Liaoyang City. After all, Liaoyang was also the Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom. Of course, there was also an imperial city, but it was very small and no emperor had ever lived here.

However, before the fall of Liaoyang Mansion, Wanyan Oru directly changed the palace into his own residence. After Yelu Yujian recaptured Liaoyang City, he pretended not to know about the palace and lived here directly, as if he was afraid that others would not know about him.

Ambitious.

When he returned to his residence, Yelu Yujian had just taken a sip of tea, but he didn't expect that a personal guard rushed over to report: "The general is in trouble. The people we went to transport supplies got into a fight with the navy of Zhou Dynasty!"

"What!"

When Yeluyu heard this, he immediately stood up and asked with his eyes widened.

"What's going on and why is there a fight?"

"It's really not our fault this time. It was Dazhou's navy that detained our supplies. The people who went to deliver the supplies realized that the supplies were insufficient, so they quarreled with each other, and they ended up fighting."

The guard reported again.

Although Yelu Yujian occupied Liaoyang Prefecture, the area between Liaoyang Prefecture and Zhongjing was still occupied by the Jin Army. Moreover, Liaoyang Prefecture was severely raided by the Jin Army and could not feed his army at all. Therefore, some food supplies still needed to be obtained from

Transportation from China to Beijing.

Because the land route is inaccessible, the transportation of grain and supplies is assisted by the Zhou Navy. After all, sea transportation is safer and more convenient. Generally, the Da Zhou Navy goes to the port of Liao Kingdom, loads the supplies and then transports them to the Liao River. Yelu Yujian only needs to send people

Just go to the port in Liaohe and transport the supplies back.

Siluke

"That's too much!"

When Yelu Yujian heard that Dazhou had seized his supplies, he immediately got up in anger, then ordered a group of troops and rushed to the Liaohe port with murderous intent.

Of course, Yelu Yuchi didn't really want to go to war with the Zhou Navy. After all, the two sides were still in an alliance, and the transportation of supplies for his army also required the cooperation of the Zhou Navy.

The reason why Yelu Yujian led his troops was actually to exert pressure and let the Zhou navy know that they were not easy to mess with.

Because time was limited and most of the troops had to be left to garrison Liaoyang Mansion, Yelu Yujian only ordered 3,000 elite soldiers in a hurry. After all, it was not a real war, as long as he could force the Zhou navy to give in.

On the way, Yelu Yu saw that he was getting more and more angry as he thought about it. Recently, in order not to break up with Da Zhou, he tried his best to be cowardly and submissive in the face of Da Zhou's secret solicitation. He even ordered his soldiers not to provoke Da Zhou's army, even if the opponent

Even if you deliberately make things difficult, you must also put kindness first.

In the end, they didn't expect him to give in so much. Da Zhou actually went so far as to bully others, not only seizing supplies that belonged to them, but even daring to beat people. It was simply too much of a bully!

"One day, I will definitely repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!"

Yelu Yujian secretly gritted his teeth and said.

Three thousand fine horses galloped and quickly arrived at the port on the Liao River. In fact, it was only more than twenty miles away from Liaoyang City, and they arrived almost in an instant.

Moreover, this port has been around for a long time. In the past, Liaoyang Prefecture often transported some goods through the Liao River. Now the port has been requisitioned by the army and is used to transport supplies for the army.

Yelu Yujian led an army to the port. As soon as he arrived at the dock, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Yelu Yujian had been here before, but no matter when he came, the entire port was buzzing with chaos, especially on the pier, where many nearby people came here to work as coolies to make a living.

But when Yelu Yujian came here today, he found that the pier was completely quiet. The coolies who could be seen everywhere before could not be seen at all now. This made him immediately realize that something was wrong.

"withdraw!"

Yelu Yujian reacted and immediately shouted loudly, turned his horse's head and was about to run away.
