Many places are abandoned.

Grain supplies in the Central Plains are still tight.

However, under the continuous measures taken by the Liang dynasty to appease and pacify the people,

The planting of autumn grains, however, is much better.

The autumn harvest has just begun.

Grain prices across the country immediately fell.

In the year of the Tianqi reign, the price of rice was one shi (石) and two guan (贯).

The price of rice in Tokyo when Zhao Yuan went north.

It has already fallen to one stone and one string of cash.

The Jin general who captured Xijing Datong Prefecture was Wanyan Xiyin.

After receiving the official letter from the Great Liang,

He immediately sent a messenger to inform Emperor Wanyan Aguda.

Wanyan Aguda Zhengshuai Xieye (Wanyan Gao, Aguda's full brother), Pujianu (Wanyan Yu, Aguda's uncle), Woben (Wanyan Zonggan, Aguda's eldest son), Wolibu (Wanyan Zongwang, Aguda's second son), Nianhan (Wanyan Zonghan,

Aguda's first prime minister after establishing the country, Sagai's eldest son, Puluhu (Wanyan Zongpan, Wuqimai's eldest son), and others pursued Yelü Yanxi.

Yelü Yanxi assembled 50,000 troops in Xijing Road.

They were on their way to Nanjing to resist the Jin dynasty.

Deputy Commander Xiao Telie learned that the Jin vanguard was in pursuit.

Just then, Shi Lianduo encouraged the soldiers to fight to the death.

Yelü Yanxi was overjoyed to hear that there were still brave warriors.

He then ordered the army to engage the Jin troops.

He led his concubines and sons to climb to a high place to observe the view.

As a result, the Jin soldiers saw the sun and moon flag.

Knowing that Yelü Yanxi was under their command,

They dispatched elite troops to directly attack Yelü Yanxi's location.

Yelü Yanxi saw that the Jin army was unstoppable.

They fled in disarray once again.

This led to another defeat for the army.

The 50,000 troops that had been gathered scattered.

When Wanyan Aguda received the message from Wanyan Xiyin,

The army had lost all news of Yelü Yanxi.

They were about to turn back and attack Nanjing Road, the last remaining stronghold of the Liao Kingdom.

After reading the letter from the Great Liang Kingdom,

Wanyan Aguda then summoned the generals at the front to discuss the matter.

Many savages arrived.

The tent was immediately filled with a foul stench.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gets a bit cool.

However, for the wild people who grew up in the icy and snowy land...

It's still a bit hot.

They were all shirtless.

It reeked of body odor.

However, the Jurchens had already gotten used to this taste.

They gathered in the large tent, laughing and joking, very happy.

Wanyan Aguda saw that his fierce and ruthless clansmen had all arrived.

"A letter has been sent from the Liang Kingdom of the Central Plains,"

"They say that both Xijing Road and Nanjing Road are Han Chinese territory,"

"Let's get out of Xijing Road,"

"Nanjing Road must not be attacked."

"What do you think?"

"Wow wow wow!"

"Wow wow wow!"

"Bang bang bang!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than commotion broke out in the main tent.

The savages were so angry they cried out.

Some people kept patting their chests.

Like a gorilla.

Wanyan Aguda frowned and said,

"Quiet, quiet, speak one at a time."

The emperor spoke.

These wild creatures slowly came to a stop.

Wanyan Gao (slanted) said,

"Last year, Helu went to the Central Plains,"

"We want them to join us in attacking the Liao Kingdom,"

"They are unwilling to send troops."

"Now we've captured Xijing,"

"They just reached out and asked for it,"

"Do they think we're easy to bully?"

"In my opinion, not only should the Western Capital Circuit not be given to them,"

"We must continue our attack on Nanjing Road."

Even the hot-tempered Wanyan Zonghan shouted.

"Yes, we can't let the Han people bully us,"

"I've heard that the Central Plains are a land overflowing with gold, silver, and beautiful women,"

"They dare ask us for Xijing?"

"Why don't we just march all the way to the Central Plains?"

"Let's rob him of his ticket and show the Han people how powerful we are."

Wanyan Zongpan and other naturally ferocious savages,

They also roared that they wanted to attack the Central Plains.

"Clap clap clap!"

Wanyan Aguda slammed his fist on the table for a while.

Only then did the wild men quiet down.

Wanyan Aguda noticed that his second son, Wanyan Zongwang, remained silent.

He then pointed at him and said,

"Wolibu, what do you think?"

Chapter 1848 The Discontented Jin Kingdom

Wanyan Zongwang said, "There are still many cities in Zhongjing Road that have not been captured."

"Even in the capital and Tokyo, tribes occasionally rebel,"

"If we go to war with the Han people,"

"I'm afraid things aren't stable at the rear."

Wanyan Aguda nodded in satisfaction.

“What Wanli said is correct,”

"Things never settled down after that,"

"How can we keep fighting forward?"

"Moreover, the Liang Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom are different."

"I've heard that the Liang Kingdom has very powerful firearms,"

"It can blow even iron armor to smithereens,"

"There is also a type of ship that can fly in the sky."

"The Han people all say that the King of Liang of Daliang was a god descended from heaven."

"It's best if we don't start a war with them too easily."

The barbarians of the Jin Dynasty believed even more in ghosts and gods.

They all chickened out when they realized they had found out that the Han people did indeed have spaceships.

However, Wanyan Zonghan still grinned and said,

"Then shall we give them the Xijing Road?"

Wanyan Gao also said with a look of resentment,

"When we attacked Xijing,"

"But dozens of people from the tribe died."

Wanyan Aguda nodded and said,

"Of course we can't just give Xijing to them for nothing,"

"Our Wanyan tribe only numbers a few tens of thousands of people in total,"

"It is already quite difficult to manage the Kamikyo Road, Tokyo Road, and Nakakyo Road."

"Having more land won't help,"

"Since the Han people want the Western Capital Road,"

"Let's just sell Xijing Road to them."

“They want Nanjing Road,”

"Let them fight."

Wanyan Gao said, "We have no use for land."

"But we need servants!"

"There are hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese in the Xijing Road area,"

"Let's divide it up,"

"Each family can receive several thousand people,"

"We cannot leave the Han people to them either."
