Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 750
Zhao Xu was immediately interested, and said to Fan Ning, "I want to meet this Han Fu."

Fan Ning said with a smile: "It's not right for Your Majesty to see him now, why don't you sit in the back room, and the ministers wait here to ask him about his details."

"Also!"

Zhao Xu then sat in the imperial study and closed the sliding door, so he could clearly hear the conversation outside.

Not long after, Han Fu was brought in. He was about 50 years old. He was born as a Jinshi in the Liao Kingdom. He had been an official in the Liao Kingdom for more than [-] years.

Fu Bi had been on a mission to the Liao Kingdom and knew Han Fu. He smiled slightly and said, "Han Zhizheng, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"So it's Fu Xianggong, Wen Xianggong is also here, this is."

He looked at Fan Ning, and Fan Ning said indifferently: "Fan Ning!"

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I'm being rude."

Han Fu hurriedly bowed and saluted. Fan Ning waved his hand and said politely, "Mr. Han, please sit down!"

Han Fu sat down opposite, and a court lady served tea. Fan Ning said indifferently, "I heard that the Liao Kingdom plans to move the capital. I don't know where it plans to move to?"

"It has been decided that the first stop will be moved to Jinshan City at the northern foot of Jinshan, which is the westernmost border of Liao Kingdom."

Jinshan is today's Altai Mountain, and it is also the westernmost border of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom built a Jinshan City there, and a thousand soldiers were stationed there. But when the city was built, it was never imagined that one day it would become the capital of the Liao Kingdom. This is like a wealthy family in the city moving to a few dilapidated thatched houses left by their ancestors in the countryside, which made several great princes of the Song Dynasty sigh for it.

Fan Ning frowned, and he heard something in the words, so he asked, "The first stop is Jinshan City, what about the second stop?"

Han Fu sighed and said, "The Liao Kingdom has already been semi-agricultural. The northern foot of Jinshan Mountain is not suitable for the Liao Kingdom to establish its capital for a long time. It is only a temporary settlement. The real place our emperor is going to is Suiye, where we will establish a new Liao Dynasty."

Fan Ning's first reaction was Xiliao. In history, Liao was destroyed by Jin. Yelu Dashi established Xiliao in the Suiye area, and was finally destroyed by Mongolia. Will Yelu Hongji take this step today?

Fan Ning said indifferently: "Going to Jinshan is not easy, not to mention that it is originally the sphere of influence of the Naiman tribe, and there are also raids from the Dadan tribe and the Lieshan tribe along the way. How do you protect hundreds of thousands of women and children from moving westward?"

Han Fu was silent for a moment and said: "As long as the Song army can be lenient and allow the Liao Kingdom to move westward and stop killing them all, we will be very grateful. As for the small grasslands, we are not afraid, let alone the Liao Kingdom to restrain the grassland nomads in the west. The north of the Song Dynasty will be peaceful for at least a hundred years."

"Han Xianggong came here for this matter?"

"Exactly!"

Fan Ning exchanged glances with Fu Bi and the others, and Fu Bi said, "We have to report this matter to the Son of Heaven and make a decision after discussion. Mr. Han should wait for a day or two!"

Han Fu took a deep look at the study door, got up and left.

At this time, the emperor Zhao Xu came out and said with a smile: "The Liao Kingdom actually wants to move the capital to Suiye, do you think it is possible?"

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Suiye is the ruling center of Hei Khan, and the Liao Kingdom must fight Hei Khan to the death. In fact, I feel that the move of Liao Kingdom to the west may not be a bad thing."

“How come you see?”

"The key point is that sentence. The Liao Kingdom is now a semi-agricultural country. If they can really gain a foothold in Suiye, sooner or later they will form a fierce confrontation with the Xizhou Huihe. This will be of great help to us in recovering the Western Regions in the future."

"Fan Aiqing thinks peace talks are possible?"

"Weichen thinks we can give it a try, and I don't advocate the complete destruction of the Liao Kingdom. The existence of the Liao Kingdom can indeed restrain the growth of grassland nomads. We can even reach an agreement with the Liao Kingdom, as long as the Liao Kingdom is willing to take the title of emperor. , we can help him seize Suiye, on the contrary, if they refuse to go to Dihao, then the Liao Kingdom will not be able to reach Jinshan when it moves westward."

Both Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo agreed with the plan proposed by Fan Ning, and Han Qi also agreed. After all, the Liao Kingdom has no threat to the Song Dynasty. The only thing that makes the Song Dynasty dissatisfied is their emperor title. A solution acceptable to both parties.

The next day, Fu Bi proposed the conditions of the Song Dynasty to Han Fu, the political adviser, and Han Fu immediately sent the eagle letter back to Shangjing. Eagle letter.

"You still want us to go to the Emperor's Hall!" Yelu Hongji felt a cramping pain in his chest, he was afraid that his brother would find out, so he tried his best to restrain the pain.

Yelu Hongtai didn't notice anything unusual about his brother, he looked carefully at Yingdao: "The Song Dynasty said that they would help us take the broken leaves properly, what does this proper help mean?"

"What else can it be? It's nothing more than giving us some pig iron. Could it be that the Song Dynasty will give us Iron Fire Thunder?"

"I think I can give it a try."

"We can use Tie Huolei conditionally, for example, if the Song Army is in charge and the Song Army uses it, we will not intervene."

Yelu Hongji was a little tempted, if there was Tie Huo Lei, then they would be more likely to take down Broken Leaf.

"How confident do you think it is!"

"As long as we have sincerity, for example, we returned the three unexploded iron fire mines in Jinzhou last time to the Song Dynasty. Anyway, we can't imitate them. This shows our sincerity."

Yelu Hongji sighed, "But I still have to go to Dihao!"

Yelu Hongtai persuaded: "Going to the emperor's title is only temporary. In the future, we will be stronger and we can recover at any time. In order to keep the Daliao lineage, we must accept it even if we bear the burden."

Yelu Hongji knelt down, kowtowed three heads and said in tears: "The ancestors are above, Hongji failed to keep the Daliao community, so he has no face to see the ancestors."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly clutched his left chest, his face was extremely pale, his body was staggering, Yelu Hongtai supported him, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"

Yelu Hongji said in an extremely weak voice: "I feel the wrath of Taizu!"

After speaking, he closed his eyes and passed away...
According to the edict left by Yelu Hongji, Taisun was too young to lead the army and civilians to open up a way of life when the Liao Kingdom was in danger.

He passed it on to his younger brother Yelu Hongtai, who inherited his brother's behest and ordered Han Fu to negotiate with the Song Dynasty on behalf of the Liao Kingdom.

Three days later, Song and Liao finally reached an agreement.

First.The Liao Kingdom will go to the empire and hand over the jade seal and the emperor's genealogy that symbolize imperial power to the Song Dynasty.

Second, the Song Dynasty allowed the Liao Kingdom to move westward without any further pursuit, and at the same time promised to send troops to protect the tombs of the Liao Kingdom's successive emperors.

Third, the Song Dynasty will treat all Liao people who surrendered to the Song Dynasty kindly, without discrimination.

Fourth, the Song Dynasty will assist the Liao State in appropriate ways to seize the Suiye area and rebuild the country.

Fifth, the new Liao Kingdom will be a vassal of the Song Dynasty for generations. The Song Dynasty will support the development of agriculture and breeding in Liao, and promote the complete transformation of Liao into an agricultural country.

When Han Fu officially handed over the jade seal and the emperor's genealogy brought by the envoy of the Liao Kingdom to the emperor Zhao Xu, the Liao Empire was completely destroyed, and there was an additional Liao Kingdom attached to the Song Dynasty.

Eight years later, Yelu Hongtai decided to launch a war against Heihan and seize Suiye. He sent envoys to Tokyo to ask for help from Song Dynasty. Participated in the Liao Kingdom's war against Hei Khan, and made the most important contribution to capturing Suiye City, that's another story.

On the third day after Yelu Hongtai reached an agreement with the Song Dynasty, more than [-] soldiers and civilians in the city left Shangjing and began a long journey westward.

This time, the Liao Kingdom imitated the Song Dynasty. In addition to the 10 elite army, it also organized a [-]-strong militia team. The upper body armor looks no different from the regular army.

It protected the palace of the Liao Kingdom, the old and the weak, women and children, and 20 carts full of wealth such as tents, grain, copper coins, and rent treasures, as well as hundreds of thousands of war horses and more than [-] million cattle and sheep.

Although the Song Dynasty spared the Liao Kingdom, it does not mean that the tribes on the grassland would let them go.

This big piece of fat made all the grassland tribes jealous.

At the Wuliang River, 6 people from the Dadan and Lieshan tribes of the Liao Kingdom's westward retreat team made a surprise attack. Yelu Hongtai ordered people to abandon hundreds of carts full of gold and jewels and millions of sheep.

The Dadan tribe and the Lieshan tribe used to have frequent conflicts over competing for pastures, and the relationship was very stiff. This time, they barely got together for a common goal, but in front of dozens of carts of gold, silver, and various precious jewels, they were all jealous A fierce battle broke out between the two sides for the spoils.

Just when the two armies were about to lose, Yelu Hongtai personally led an army of [-] to cover up the attack. The grassland coalition army was defeated and suffered extremely heavy casualties.

The Lieshan tribe and the Dadan tribe accused each other, and each returned to the tribe with hatred, and the two sides forged an insoluble hatred ever since.

The Lieshan and Dadan tribes withdrew, and the Naiman tribe, the most powerful, could not stand alone and did not dare to act rashly, so that the Liao Kingdom could retreat westward safely.

Two months later, the westward migration team of the Liao Kingdom arrived at Jinshan City. They used Jinshan City as their capital and began to establish a new Liao Kingdom, which was called Xiliao in history.
