You need to cut your forehead with a knife.
Blood and tears flowed together.
It is called "Sending Blood and Tears".
Even the emperor was no exception.
When the First Chancellor, Sagai, died...
Wanyan Aguda went to offer condolences.
They still had to use a knife to cut off the forehead.
When the Jurchen nobles died,
They also ordered that his beloved servants and warhorses be burned alive as funerary sacrifices.
After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty,
Wars continue
Warhorses are in short supply.
When the first Yilai Bojilie (Third Vice Chancellor) Wanyan Aliheman passed away,
He voluntarily offered up his own warhorse.
It is suggested that Wanyan Aguda prohibit the use of warhorses for burial.
Wanyan Aguda then issued an order prohibiting the use of warhorses for burial.
In recent years, the practice of using warhorses for burial has gradually disappeared.
However, the custom of burying slaves with the dead still exists.
Zhao Yuan invited Wanyan Zongwang into the main tent and had him sit down.
Then he asked what was the purpose of his inquiry.
Wanyan Zongwang's guards then said,
"Our emperor has already agreed to return the Xijing Road to your country,"
"Our troops will withdraw from Xi'an tomorrow,"
"Please send the military funds to Zhongjing Road later."
"Okay, within half a month,"
"The 100,000 strings of cash will definitely be delivered."
Zhao Yuan didn't have much of an opinion on this.
Daliang dispatched troops to reclaim Xijing Road.
It still requires military spending.
There will be casualties.
Moreover, if the Jin dynasty had not attacked Xijing Road...
Let Nanjing Road become the last territory of the Liao Kingdom.
Yelü Dashi and Xiao Gan might not easily give up Nanjing Road.
If the two men hold out in Nanjing
The Liang dynasty will have to pay an even greater price to seize Nanjing Road.
Of Zhao Yuan's generals, only Li Kui and Liu Tang were unwilling to give the 100,000 strings of cash.
Everyone else also felt that the 100,000 strings of cash should be paid.
Zhao Yuan was actually unwilling to pay the 100,000 strings of cash.
Because he knew about the Jingkang Incident, a humiliation inflicted on the Han people by the Jin dynasty in another timeline.
But now is not the time to destroy the Jin dynasty.
The Jin army was very strong.
Yelü Yanxi is still on the run.
They could launch a counterattack at any time.
If the Great Liang and the Jin Kingdom go to war
It is very likely that the result will be a lose-lose situation.
At that time, Yelü Yanxi will lead the grassland tribes of Shangjing Road to attack.
Perhaps the Liao Dynasty will rise from the ashes again.
Xu Guanzhong's advice to Zhao Yuan was also to first divide the Liao Kingdom with the Jin Kingdom.
Then he led his troops to pursue Yelü Yanxi.
Subjugate all the tribes of Xijing Road.
When Wanyan Zongwang heard Zhao Yuan promise to send the military funds within half a month,
Then he started babbling on and on.
The official behind Zhao Yuan said,
"The Emperor of Jin invited Prince Liang to a hunting party at Yehuling in three days."
"To agree on the border between the two countries."
"He will bring a thousand guards,"
"Apart from that, there are no Jin soldiers within thirty li."
The two countries are adjacent to each other.
The border must be discussed.
However, they usually send envoys to negotiate for a period of time.
Zhao Yuan never expected that Wanyan Aguda would actually want to have a hunting trip with him.
Discuss this matter.
Zhao Yuan didn't hesitate and laughed.
"Alright, I will definitely go to Wild Fox Ridge in three days."
When Wanyan Zongwang heard Zhao Yuan agree,
It was also a great joy.
I got up to say goodbye.
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "I have already had a banquet prepared."
"If the two Liang kings do not return in a hurry,"
"Why don't I treat you to a meal?"
"We'll set off again tomorrow."
Wanyan Zongwang was just putting on a show.
More than four hundred miles,
He can run over in a whole day.
But at night...
The warhorse would then be unable to gallop at full speed.
Even if he sets off overnight,
They couldn't run back to Datong Prefecture in one night.
See how Zhao Yuan entertained his guests.
So they took the opportunity to sit down.
After the business was finished,
Zhao Yuan then ordered the wine and dishes to be served.
"Hero's Wine?"
Wanyan Zongwang saw several soldiers carrying wine jars coming up.
He couldn't help but say it.
Good Man Wine targets the high-end market.
The wine jars were also made in the official kilns.
It's not like the wine jars used for ordinary wine.
Anyone you've seen and paid attention to,
They can usually recognize the "Hero's Wine".
Li Kui, sitting opposite, heard Wanyan Zongwang actually utter three Chinese characters.
Although the tone was a bit strange
But everyone understood, and couldn't help but shout,
"You, a Jin dynasty person, have also drunk our Liangshan heroes' wine?"
Wanyan Zongwang's attendants busily translated for him.
Wanyan Zongwang talked on and on for a while.
The crowd could only understand the three words "Hero's Wine".
Li Kui's face turned completely red from holding back his anger.
Pointing to his entourage,
"what did he say?"
"The commander-in-chief said that the hero's wine is very strong,"
"Just like its name,"
"Only heroes can drink this."
"The men of our Jin Kingdom all love to drink 'Hero's Wine',"
"It's just that the 'Hero's Wine' is too expensive,"
"And they are very hard to buy."
"He's only drunk it a few times."
Chapter 1559 Drinking Contest
Li Kui patted his chest,
Pointing at Wanyan Zongwang,
“You’re right,”
"Only heroes can drink this wine."
"I'll have a competition with you later,"
"Let's see who can drink the most."
After hearing his attendant translate Li Kui's words, Wanyan Zongwang laughed.
"Okay, let's have a competition."
Hero's Wine sells for 500 coins per catty in the Central Plains.
In the Jin Dynasty, the cheapest price was one string of cash per catty.
Of course, Wanyan Zongwang only drank it once in the Jin Kingdom.
