Chapter 1147 Two people
"It's okay, I'll ride a horse, you forgot?"
Xiao Siwen smiled, patted her little head, and said, "We Khitans have been invincible for many years. A mere Tang people are nothing, don't worry!"
Under the comfort of his father, Xiao Yanyan showed a smile, shook her hair, and said naughtyly: "At that time, Yanyan will also ride a horse and shoot arrows to protect her father!"
"Hahaha!" Xiao Siwen laughed and clapped his hands, "When Yanyan protects me, I'm afraid we are going to run away."
"Go and play!" Xiao Siwen shook his head and looked at his daughter lovingly and said, "War is a man's business. Every daughter belongs to every family. Just milk and play in the back."
"Yeah!" Xiao Yanyan nodded, then gave up, jumped away, and the braided hair behind her head looked particularly cute.
Looking at all this, Xiao Siwen's wealth over the years was instantly replaced by tension. In this situation, how can he accommodate a relaxed Xiao Siwen?
Sitting on the ground, he fell into deep thought.
"Master, Xiao Talin, Yelu Xizhen asked for a meeting."
At this time, a slave came in and said softly.
"Oh? Let them come in!" Xiao Siwen was surprised at first when she heard this, and then she smiled a little.
Soon, a middle-aged man and a young boy walked in.
"I've seen a left-behind (uncle)——"
The two bent down to caress their chests and said respectfully.
"Sit!" Xiao Siwen smiled and said, "I have been here for many days, but I can't compare to going to Beijing here, are you used to it?"
Yelu Xizhen heard this and said seriously: "There are many hills in Youzhou, and the Han people are dense, so there are probably no less than one million people, so there are no grasslands. This is suitable for the Han people and is conducive to defense. Similarly, we can also use it."
"Wine, beauty, is much better than Shangjing!"
Xiao Siwen nodded and automatically filtered the next sentence.
Yelu Xizhen's name is Han Yin. His grandfather was the primary meritorious official who assisted Taizu Yelu Abaoji. He was even named Arudun Yuyue (the highest honor for his subject). He was the predecessor of the powerful minister Yelu Wuzhi.
With such a deep background, he is even less good at managing family affairs because he is out of place. His huge family business is so tangible that he cannot trust.
To put it bluntly, his image is now a slutty child and a prodigal son, and he will be looked down upon wherever he is.
Of course, in history, Yelu Xizhen's achievements were also very famous. For example, in the Battle of Gaoliang River, he defeated the Song army with Yelu Xiuge, or captured Yang Ye alive.
Xiao Siwen was quite sensible about this. He knew that Yelu Xizhen was defeated by the outside but still had some reputation inside.
Now that I hear this, I have some insight.
"Tarin, what do you have to know?"
Xiao Siwen couldn't help asking when he looked at his clan nephew beside him.
When Xiao Talin heard the question, he couldn't help but straighten his body and said seriously: "Youzhou has a good terrain, which is the important place in the Central Plains. All the lands in Hebei are flat, so the Great Liao can drink horses and the Yellow River. Therefore, the Central Plains will not give up after all, and it is impossible to give up."
"That's right!" Xiao Siwen nodded and said, "Then, do you think there is a way to make Youzhou as stable as a mountain once and for all?"
Xiao Talin thought for a while and said resolutely: "Beat, beat Tang people hard, so that they dare not have any delusions about Youzhou."
"The courage is commendable!" Yelu Xizhen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then laughed happily: "Don't look honest on your face, but your temper really treats my appetite, very good, very good!"
"However, in Jin Dynasty, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun had already ceded us, and we sent troops as promised, which was not something we got for nothing. Now, it is clear that the Tang people are still coveting it."
Xiao Siwen sighed softly when she heard this: "Just as Ta Lin said, the Han people like to betray their promises the most, Guo Rong is so, and Li Jia is the same now."
"So, you must see a real understanding on the battlefield and let it hurt Yuanqi before you can give up greed. What you said makes sense!"
Xiao Siwen's attitude towards him was quite pleased with him in his words.
Xiao Talin loves astronomy and is usually honest and honest. He never thought that he was so warlike. Very good. The Khitans immediately conquer the world. How could they not be wary?
Of course, Xiao Talin was indeed warlike in history. The Chanyuan Alliance was because he was unstoppable and was shot by the Song general Zhang Huan, seriously injured and died.
It was precisely because of his death that the morale of the army was shaken. After all, Yelu Xian and Xiao Chuo did not know how to lead troops at that time. If the Song army dragged it hard, there would be no decisive battle, and the Liao army that went deep into the mainland would inevitably be dragged down.
Unfortunately, the emperor is not good, no matter how much the preview is, it will be useless.
"Hehe!" Xiao Talin smiled honestly and said, "You are young and ignorant, just talk nonsense."
"No, you're right!"
Xiao Siwen's face was serious, with a hint of sorrow on his face, and he sighed: "When Guo Rong's army surrounded Youzhou, he was in a panic when he went to Beijing, and many noble officials even wanted to abandon Youyun."
"There are also chaos in Youzhou. There are countless people who want to cooperate with the inside and outside, which can be said to be internal and external troubles!"
"And, now, today is still here!"
Xiao Siwen said helplessly: "If we do it again, plus the battle in Hedong, I'm afraid Youzhou will be more prosperous the day before yesterday."
These words were extremely credible and both of them recognized them one after another.
After 100,000 people were gone, 30 to 40% of them were killed or injured. Both the Han and Khitans were a little scared and almost injured their vitality.
"I am in Youzhou. I heard that King Ji has recruited many people from Xi and Bohai. I believe that some people can be restored!" Yelu Xizhen said.
"Only the Han people are suitable for defending the city!" Xiao Siwen shook his head and said softly.
Xiao Talin nodded in agreement. He studied astronomy and studied a lot of Han Shu.
Yelu Xizhen did not argue with it. Although he did not agree with such words, he was quite sensible and did not object.
"By the way, how many months have you been traveling and has a deep relationship with King Ji, can you find out the reason for the crushing defeat last year?"
Xiao Siwen asked with great anticipation.
"Tang Bing, you should not be underestimated!"
Yelu Xizhen said in a deep voice: "I heard now that the person in charge of the army in Hebei is Guo Jin, who is a disaster for the Great Liao."
"That's all!" Xiao Talin immediately added: "I heard that when I was in the south before, the Tang people could actually thunder the sky, and then the city wall collapsed directly. Taiyuan was strange, and it turned out that the river water was pouring back."
"Is that true?" Xiao Siwen was solemn and his confidence was a little shaken. He couldn't help but say: "The Tang Kingdom always has some strange tricks, but he just doesn't dare to fight openly!"
"The Great Liao Iron Cavalry is unparalleled in the world, and the Tang people are naturally afraid." Yelu Xizhen said with confidence:
"Please rest assured. Now that we are more prepared, we will definitely not let Tangren ask for a bargain."
