However, Yelü Yanxi became more determined with each setback.
Hunting in the Yinshan Mountains
On the one hand, he ordered people to continue recruiting soldiers.
A few days ago,
Yelü Dashi and Empress Xiao led 5,000 Khitan soldiers to join them.
Yelü Yanxi then executed Empress Dowager Xiao.
Only after everyone pleaded for Yelü Yanxi did he spare Yelü Dashi.
Yelü Yanxi led his men to hide in Jiashan.
They also kept sending people to inquire about news from Xijing Road.
It is hoped that the Jin and Liang kingdoms will go to war over control of the Xijing Road.
That way he can reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
It was unexpected that the Jin Kingdom, known for its brutality and barbarity, would reach a peace agreement with the Liang Kingdom.
The Western Capital Road was returned to the Liang Kingdom.
One day after the Prince of Liang of Daliang entered Xijing Road...
He then led his troops toward Jiashan.
When the Liang army launched two separate attacks...
When news of the siege of Jiashan arrived...
Yelü Yanxi hurriedly summoned his generals to discuss the matter.
Yelü Dashi said, "The 20,000 troops at Jiashan are our hope for the resurgence of Liaodong."
"The Liang Kingdom attacked with 100,000 troops."
"They are five times our size. I believe we should not confront Liang head-on."
Commander Xiao Telie said, "If Daliang wants to enter Jiashan, it must first cross Yuyang Ridge."
"The Yuyang Ridge stretches for dozens of miles, winding and twisting,"
"It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"We only need five thousand soldiers to defend Yuyang Ridge,"
"Even if the Liang Kingdom had 100,000 troops, they wouldn't be able to cross Yuyang Ridge."
Yelü Dashi said, "Don't forget the war in which the Great Liang destroyed the Southern Song."
Daliang spaceship crosses the river.
The news of the fire and thunder attack had already spread throughout the land through the official gazette.
Upon hearing this,
They also thought that Daliang could use spaceships to fly to Yuyang Ridge and bomb the defending troops.
On that day, Yelü Yanxi prepared to lead his troops to invade the south.
The underground Great Wall in Hebei was destroyed by Zhao Yuan using gunpowder.
After capturing more than 10,000 people,
He had always been afraid of the Liang Kingdom.
Later, they learned that the King of Liang had invented a flying ship.
It can make people fly.
They lost all will to fight against the Great Liang.
If it were the Jin Dynasty that attacked...
He will definitely lead his troops to resist.
Of course, if the war goes badly...
He will run away again.
But now the Great Liang is attacking.
He had absolutely no desire to face the firearms and spaceships of the Great Liang.
"Yelü Dashi, tell me your thoughts."
Seeing that Yelü Yanxi seemed unwilling to fight, Yelü Dashi said,
"I believe we should temporarily avoid direct confrontation,"
"Retreat to the area of the Northwest Circuit Commandery of Shangjing Road,"
"Temporarily cede the Xijing Road to the Liang Kingdom."
"Both Liang and Jin are lands of tigers and wolves,"
"They are bound to have a battle."
"We can recuperate and rebuild our lives in Shangjing Road,"
"Wait for the right opportunity to strike back."
Xiao Telie said, "If the Liang army pursues us directly to Shangjing Road,"
"What should we do then?"
Yelü Dashi laughed and said, "The Liang army is two thousand li away from the nearest Ningxia Road to the Northwest Road Commandery."
"The entire route is within the territory of the various tribes of the Zubu,"
"The tribes of Zubu have always been impoverished,"
"It's impossible to provide them with food and supplies."
"If Liang Guoqiang were to seize the grain and provisions from the various tribes of Zubu,"
"The various tribes of Zubu will surely resist to the death,"
“Let’s attack from the flank again,”
"We will surely be able to defeat the Liang army."
"If the Liang army carries its own provisions,"
"This will inevitably limit the number of their troops."
"If it's only ten or twenty thousand soldiers,"
"We don't need to lift a finger,"
"I'm afraid the various tribes of Zubu will start targeting them."
Yelü Yanxi clapped his hands and said, "Lin Ya truly deserves to be called a pillar of our Great Liao Dynasty!"
"Then let's retreat to Shangjing Road,"
"Let the Liang army find nothing."
Taibao Yelü Temuge said, "Zubu has rebelled many times."
"We'll retreat to Shangjing Road,"
"We must also be wary of them taking the opportunity to cause trouble."
Yelü Dashi said, "A few years ago we quelled the Mogus rebellion,"
"The obstruction of divination has already severely damaged our vitality,"
"This time, the emperor is personally visiting, accompanied by 20,000 Khitan cavalry,"
"It will deter Zubu from acting rashly."
Yelü Yanxi had no confidence in the Shangliang Kingdom.
He was full of confidence in the various tribes of the grasslands, and laughed.
"Obstruction is nothing to worry about. Convey my decree."
"The entire army will set off tomorrow,"
"Accompany me on my inspection tour of the Northwest Route Pacification Command."
When Zhao Yuan led his troops to Jiashan...
Yelü Yanxi and his entourage had been gone for several days.
While Zhao Yuan was sending people to inquire about Yelü Yanxi's whereabouts,
A sudden heavy snowfall occurred.
The snow, more than a foot deep, completely extinguished Zhao Yuan's desire to pursue.
Zhao Yuan then summoned the leaders of various tribes in Yinshan, Baidadan (Wanggu) tribe, Mogeshi and other tribes to Jiashan.
Under the invincible might of the Liang King,
The leaders of various tribes trudged through the snow to pay their respects at Jiashan.
They offered tributes of cattle, horses, camels, sheep, sable fur, and blue squirrel fur.
Zhao Yuan also rewarded the various tribes with grain, cloth, and a small amount of ironware.
Chapter 1566 The Monk Who Courted Death
The small amount of "Hero's Wine" carried by the army was also considered a rare commodity.
The rewards were distributed to the leaders of the various tribes.
October is already cold,
The wind howled at the top of Jiashan Mountain.
After the leaders of each tribe tasted the Hero's Wine,
He immediately followed up by asking how to purchase the "Hero's Wine".
October 20th,
Zhao Yuan led Hua Rong's troops south.
Zhu Tong's troops, as part of the Hebei Army,
Return to Yanshan Prefecture (Nanjing of the Liao Dynasty), which had just been renamed.
Be wary of the Jin dynasty.
At the same time, Liu Tang's troops were incorporated into the Hedong Army.
Zhang Qing's troops were incorporated into the Hebei Army.
Hedong annexed the Western Capital of the Liao Dynasty.
After Hebei annexed Nanjing of the Liao Dynasty,
The territory expanded, bordering other ethnic groups.
The border troops had to be increased.
With the warhorses offered as tribute from various tribes,
Hua Rong's entire unit has been converted to one person with three horses.
Even so, it took Zhao Yuan and his party half a month to return to Bianjing from Jiashan.
The Great Liang Dynasty had already abolished the Song Dynasty's designation of the four capitals.
Only Kaifeng can be called Bianjing.
Although all four capitals of the Song Dynasty were very prosperous,
But they were all crowded in the Central Plains.
It lacks the magnanimity of a great nation.
