The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 513
Faced with Chai Jin's doubts, Mu Xu naturally couldn't say much, and could only evade, "This is just my guess, after all, Yelu Dashi is quite capable, and he is always thinking about rebuilding Daliao.

But what kind of person Yelu Yanxi is, we know in our hearts, Yelu Dashi knows even more, knowing that we can't place hope on him, but Yelu Dashi still throws thousands of miles away, how can there be no purpose? "

Chai Jin said thoughtfully, "Your guess is probably close to ten. Yelu Dashi has been quite submissive since he defected to Yelu Yanxi, and now he controls one-third of his soldiers and horses."

Hearing this, Mu Xu looked at Yelu Dashi tens of meters away, his eyes flickering, and then asked, "What is the relationship between Yelu Dashi and Xiao Fengxian?"

Yan Qing replied, "Originally, there was quite a tense relationship between the two, but since Yelu Dashi suddenly approached Qin Wang Yelvding, the relationship between the two has eased a lot."

Mu Xu pondered for a while, and found that Yelu Dashi could not be allowed to develop any longer, otherwise, if he was allowed to leave at a critical moment, it would greatly weaken Yelu Yanxi's ability to resist the Jinren.

"Xiao Yi, find someone to quietly disclose to Xiao Feng the news that Yelu Dashi wants to stand on his own."

Yan Qing clasped her fists and replied, "Yes, this subordinate has orders."

While the three of them were talking, a vacant camp was already in sight. Yelu Dashi rode up to Mu Xu not far away, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Mu, this is a temporary camp. You can stay and rest for half a day. Tonight, my majesty is going to do something for your lord." Please be sure to participate in the banquet for the report office to cleanse the wind and dust."

"It's easy to say, I will definitely be on time for the appointment."

Seeing that Mu Xu agreed, Yelu Dashi made a confession, and ran northward with a few of his men.

After settling down the army and inspecting the camp, after confirming that there was no problem, Mu Xu brought Chai Jin, Yan Qing, and twenty guards to the Yelu Yanxi Camp as promised.

Seeing a group of people waiting at the gate from a distance, Chai Jin rode up to Mu Xu and introduced him in a low voice, "Master, the young master at the head is Qin Wang Yeluding, and the middle-aged scribe on his left is Xiao Fengxian. "

Mu Xu nodded lightly, expressing that he knew what was going on.

When they got closer, Yelvding would naturally be in charge of receiving them.

Mu Xu didn't have much interest in this person, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he focused on Xiao Fengxian, who was really too famous.

After communicating for a while, Mu Xu found that Xiao Fengxian was really not easy to deal with, and his words were sincere while talking and laughing, which made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

This made him have to sigh with emotion, those treacherous ministers who were able to leave their names in history, all of them really had a brush, no wonder they were favored by the king.

On the contrary, after meeting Yelu Yanxi, Mu Xu was disappointed. This famous escaped emperor did not look good, not to mention his face was full of flesh, and he looked hollowed out by wine, without any dignity of the emperor.

Not to mention comparing with Zhao Ji, even Xiao Fengxian is more stylish than him.If you put this guy in coarse linen clothes, you might think that he is a butcher who kills pigs and sells meat, not like an emperor.

Yelu Yanxi didn't know how Mu Xu was slandering him, he seemed extremely happy at this moment, he pulled Mu Xu to sit under him, shouted one after another, and asked questions from time to time, just like the aunt next door It seemed that Mu Xu was annoyed, and it was not easy to turn against him, so he had to bite the bullet and deal with it indiscriminately.

Perhaps seeing Mu Xu's embarrassment, Xiao Fengxian took the initiative to bring up the topic of the world situation.

"Lord Mu, in your opinion, will Da Song join forces with Jin Guo?"

As soon as this remark came out, Yelu Yanxi finally shut up and stared at Mu Xu to see how he would answer.

Mu Xu put down the wine glass and said seriously, "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will be true."

"Hmph, the Southern Dynasties are really outrageous. Fortunately, Daliao is still a country of brothers, but they do such a despicable thing. I am really ashamed to be with Zhao Ji!"

Following Yelu Yanxi's words, all the ministers of the Liao Kingdom in the tent were filled with righteous indignation, and spoke out to denounce Song's treachery.

Seeing this situation, Mu Xu secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that the Liao Kingdom is really hopeless, and now the remaining use value is to delay Jin Kingdom's southward movement for his family.

In fact, it is not surprising that Mu Xu has such an idea, because in his opinion, the Song Dynasty was indeed not authentic enough, but the main culprit for the Liao Kingdom to fall into such a situation was the Jin Kingdom.

But these Liao people are lucky, they don't think about how to get revenge, but here they blame Song for being an alliance. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
It is not difficult to see from their words and deeds that the Liao people have been frightened by the Jin people, like a dog with a broken spine, and it is difficult to reproduce the style of their ancestors.

Before Mu Xu came to the alliance this time, he had initially thought that the Ruo Liao people were worthy of a fight, and he might not be able to send troops to help. Now, after seeing the performance of the Liao king and ministers with his own eyes, he completely dismissed this plan.

The subsequent development further strengthened Mu Xu's thoughts.

Under the instruction of Yelu Yanxi, Xiao Fengxian and others did not care at all about how to deal with the coming crisis, but tried to persuade Mu Xu frequently, hoping that he could increase their assistance to them.

Mu Xu, on the other hand, ambiguously explained the matter on the grounds that the land in Yundi was sparsely populated and its products were not abundant.

Fortunately, Yundi was originally the Xijing Road of the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao monarchs and ministers who were sitting here knew quite a bit about it, so they didn't hold on to it anymore.

After drinking for three rounds, seeing that it was getting late, and it was snowing heavily outside, Mu Xu decided to bid farewell and leave.

Yelu Yanxi didn't know whether he had drunk too much or what, but suddenly said, "I'm afraid my son-in-law hasn't met my princess yet, why don't I invite her here so you two can get to know each other in advance."

Mu Xu was curious about Yelu Yu Liyan's appearance, but he was not so anxious, so he refused, "Your Majesty's kindness, and the foreign minister's understanding, but if this is the case, it is a bit out of courtesy, and it may damage the princess's reputation." Influence, or..."

Unexpectedly, he was only halfway through when Yelu Yanxi waved his hand and said, "Your son-in-law, don't worry too much. We Liao people are not as pedantic as Song people, and we don't have so many red tapes. Besides, we are all here. Your confidant and beloved minister, there is no need to be too scruples."

After all, he ordered someone to tell the princess of Shu Kingdom to come to see her.

Everyone's father said so, what could Mu Xu do as an outsider, so he had to put away his words of farewell and wait and see what happened.

Not long after, following a notification from outside, Yelu Yuliyan, wearing a gauze face and wearing a white fox cloak, accompanied by the wind and snow outside, with a graceful figure like an elf in the snow, came to the big tent lightly, gracefully Bye,
"I have seen my father, I wish my father a lifetime."

Yelu Yanxi smiled and said, "Hurry up and get down, come and meet the son-in-law I picked for you, see if you like it?"

Yelu Yuliyan subconsciously looked at Mu Xu, but saw a handsome young man in a brocade robe, with a golden crown on his head, looking at her with a smile.

As soon as their eyes intertwined, Yelu Yu Liyan looked away like a frightened rabbit, and gave a slight blessing, "I have seen you, sir, you are so polite!"

Mu Xu didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Princess is polite, it should be the ministers who salute the princess."

"Okay, Yu Liyan is sitting next to my virtuous son-in-law. You have a good talk and get to know each other, so that you won't get married after marriage."

"Yes, my daughter obeys!" Yelu Yuliyan responded, and came to sit down in the vacant seat beside Mu Xu, then picked up the wine glass, asked the waiter to fill it up, and said softly to Mu Xu, "Little girl toasts you! "

Seeing her trembling hands holding the wine, Mu Xu knew that he might be very nervous, and thinking about what happened to this woman in history made him sigh even more.

Seriously speaking, sometimes being born in the royal family is not as good as being born in the family of ordinary people, especially in the last years of the dynasty, when the enemy is still a barbarian like Jin Guo.

For example, Zhao Fujin, Yelu Yuliyan and other noble daughters of the royal family have all been tortured by their father and brother. Not to mention the humiliation and torture, they did not even have a good death.

Thinking of this, Mu Xu felt pity in his heart, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and then said softly, "It's snowing suddenly today, and it's inevitable to be cold at night, princess, why don't you accompany me to drink a few more glasses, you have the right to go The cold on my body."

It is said that after learning that she was going to marry far away, Yelu Yu Liyan was always in a state of anxiety, for fear that Mu Xu would be a rude and incomprehensible martial artist.

This worry finally dissipated when he met Mu Xu himself.At this time, seeing Mu Xu being so gentle and careless, she couldn't help but blushed slightly, and carefully put the corner of the veil behind her ears, revealing her straight nose and small cherry mouth, and whispered back,

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, my lord, you should also pay attention to keeping warm at night, and don't catch a cold."

Mu Xu nodded with a smile, and in the following conversation, occasionally interspersed with a few jokes from later generations, and within a short while, Yelu Yu Liyan couldn't stop laughing coquettishly, and couldn't help revealing a lot of his thoughts.

If there were only the two of them at the moment, Mu Xu would probably hold the beauty in his arms to comfort him, but unfortunately there are outsiders present, and he is helpless, so he can only use words to describe the beautiful life in the future to Yelu Yuliyan .

Because of such a small episode during the banquet, Mu Xu was in a particularly beautiful mood in the following time, and even deliberately added [-] stones of refined salt to the betrothal gift, which made Yelu Yanxi overjoyed and praised Mu Xu without a mouth Young and promising.

After the banquet on the first day, the next day Mu Xu and Yelu Yanxi formally made a blood alliance on the matter of cooperation.

The covenant stipulates that from the date of the alliance, Yelu Yanxi's troops are not allowed to take a step closer to the side wall of Yundi without Mu Xu's permission.

In return, Mu Xu needs to regularly provide necessities such as salt, tea, grain, ironware, etc. to Liao.Of course, these are not free, and the Liao people need to exchange them with war horses, and the price is [-]% of the market price.

In addition to the above two, there is another one that has not been written down, and that is Mu Xu's private promise that once the Liao Kingdom reaches the end of its mountains and rivers, he will accept Yelu Yanxi and other Liao nobles and give them a place to stay.

After dealing with the matter of forming an alliance, the marriage will be put on the agenda.

Originally, according to the royal rules of the Liao Kingdom, the princess should not marry so hastily, but now that Daliao has existed in name only, and is always facing the risk of destruction, so everything should be kept simple.

On the day of their wedding, Mu Xu and Yelu Yu Liyan wore auspicious clothes, and they simply bowed to the heaven and earth hall, and then entered the bridal chamber, and they were considered a married couple from then on.

After marriage, Mu Xu considered that Yelu Yuliyan was just a married woman, so he stayed in the same place for three more days, and on the fourth day, he bid farewell to Yelu Yanxi.

When returning, although Yelu Yu Liyan was more of a burden in the team, but because there was no need to stop in the states, the speed was much faster than when he came. On December [-]th, he arrived at Yunzhou.

Back at his home, Mu Xu immediately introduced Yelu Yu Liyan to the girls. To his surprise, Zhao Fujin, who was supposed to have the biggest opinion, instead had the best affinity with Yelu Yu Liyan. During the day, the two got along very harmoniously, just like sisters.

Mu Xu was a little puzzled at first, but later realized through observation that the reason why these two people get along well is entirely due to similar interests.

It's understandable when you think about it. The two of them have almost the same background and similar education. Naturally, they have a common language.

In this way, Mu Xu's harem was divided into three factions, Zhao Fujin and Yelu Yuliyan belonged to one faction, Li Shishi, Zhao Yuannu, and Hua Baoyan belonged to one faction, and three female generals Hu Sanniang, Qiongying, and Fang Baihua belonged to another faction. It's a faction.

Fortunately, they are all smart women, and Mu Xu can basically handle affairs at home, so there is no trouble.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next summer. In mid-July of this year, Li Shishi and Hua Baoyan gave birth to a son and a daughter for Mu Xu.

Mu Xu named his son Jiong and his daughter Lan. Just as he was about to order a big celebration, there was an urgent report from Liaodong that the Kingdom of Jin was gathering troops, and it was feared that they would send troops when autumn was high and horses were fat. Conquer Yelu Yanxi Palace.

If this is the case alone, it will not surprise Mu Xu, but what makes him uneasy is that the secret report from Tokyo also shows that the Song court has also made frequent moves recently. Envoys from the Kingdom of Jin appeared and disappeared.

Knowing these two important pieces of information immediately diluted Mu Xu's joy of having an heir.

After hastily holding a full moon banquet for the two children, Mu Xu immediately summoned all the soldiers and soldiers under his command. After some discussion, everyone came to the conclusion that Song and Jin's joint attack on Liao Dynasty was imminent.

Xu Guanzhong suggested at the time, "Emissary, you must inform the Liao people immediately, so that they can take precautions in advance, so as not to be negligent and destroyed by the Song and Jin battles."

"As soon as we learned about this, we sent someone six hundred miles to send the news to Liao Kingdom urgently."

Then, Mu Xu frowned again and said, "To be honest, I'm not too worried about the Liao people. Their troops are mainly cavalry. Even if they lose to the Kingdom of Jin, they won't be defeated in a single battle.

On the contrary, I am more worried about the Song Dynasty. With the combat effectiveness of the Song army and the fact that they are mainly infantry, once they take the initiative to go out and start a war with the Liao people, I am afraid that they will not get any benefits.

They are defeated, but they are easy to show timidity in front of the Jin people. With the greed of the Jurchens, once they recognize the fact that the Song Dynasty is a paper tiger, I am afraid that the day when they go south to invade the Song Dynasty is not far away. "
