Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 456 "Sea Alliance"

Facing Wanyan Zongbi, he guessed his intention. Zhao Mu didn't hide it either.

Zhao Mu then said: "That's right! Don't tell secret words in front of people. The Liao Kingdom secretly united with Xixia and other countries to attack the Song Dynasty. And the Song Dynasty also wants to cause some trouble for the Liao Kingdom. Every year you Jurchens are attacked The Khitan people are hunting like dogs and sheep. I think we can talk to you. If the Jurchen tribe is willing to help me, Da Song, I will also be happy to help the Jurchen tribe. "

Wanyan Zongbi heard this and said: "This is indeed a huge deal. I just don't know how the Song Dynasty helped us Jurchens? But do you want our whole family to join the Song army and work hard for the Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "Of course not. We have many heroes in the Central Plains. We have no shortage of people in the Song Dynasty. The help I am talking about is to help the Jurchens establish a country of their own in Liao. Let the Jurchen tribe Have the strength to be a king, instead of claiming to be the chief of the tribe.”

Hearing Zhao Mu's words, Wanyan Zongbi was stunned for a moment.

After a while, Wanyan Zongbi came back to his senses and asked: "What about the conditions for the Song Dynasty to help us? What does His Highness King Qi want us to pay? I think he not only wants us to raise troops when Song and Liao go to war, but also when Song and Liao go to war, Let’s contain the Liao army from behind.”

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "You don't have to pay anything, and besides, you Jurchens have nothing that can catch my eye. It's enough that you can raise troops behind the Liao people and cause them trouble from beginning to end. But you have to If there are any conditions, I would like to ask you Jurchens to help me build a camp for my friend to station troops."

After saying this, Zhao Mu looked at Murong Fu beside him.

Wanyan Zongbi murmured at this time: "His Royal Highness, what does this mean?"

Zhao Mu didn't say much, and then he took out a map from his sleeve robe.

This map was drawn by him overnight. Although it did not have detailed mountain geography, it was a rough outline of each country.

Zhao Mu pointed at the map and said: "In the future, our Song Dynasty will defeat the Liao Kingdom. And the Liao Kingdom will also lose a large area of ​​land. In this war, our Song Dynasty will regain the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures and the Great Wall that were lost by the ancestors of the Han people. As for other places, we Han people have no interest in it, but there can be two more countries in Liaodong. "

Zhao Muwang said to Wanyan Zongbi: "One of the countries is the country of your Jurchens. The other country is the one I promised to Brother Murong."

Zhao Mu said at this time: "Oh! I forgot to introduce you. Brother Murong was the grandson of the Yan Kingdom during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period. He wanted to revive his ancestral business. It happened that the territory of the Liao Kingdom was large enough, and our Song family I can’t eat it either. So I asked Brother Murong for help. If you Jurchens are willing to help, you can share this piece of meat from Liao Kingdom.”

Wanyan Zongbi looked at the map in front of him and felt very excited.

But Wanyan Zongbi did not get carried away. He then said: "Your Highness King Qi, I can't make the decision on this matter myself, so I have to ask my father first. Why don't I end this negotiation and take Prince Qi with me immediately?" Your Highness goes to our Jurchen tribe to meet with father."

Zhao Mu smiled slightly and said, "There's no rush. There are many people here and it's better to be cautious. The negotiation will proceed as usual. It won't be too late for us to leave after the young chief has sold out the goods he brought this time. After all, I have a lot of sincerity in cooperating with your department. If we don’t provide more empty cars, I’m afraid it won’t be able to accommodate them.”

"Oh? Sincerity?" Wanyan Zongbi murmured.

Zhao Mu walked to a corner of the tent at this time, and then lifted the tarpaulin above.

Covered under the tarpaulin is a large box. And Zhao Mu casually opened a box, and the shining silver was really dazzling.

Seeing so much money in this box, Wanyan Zongbi couldn't help but come over to take a look. Zhao Mu picked up two ingots of silver and handed them to Wanyan Zongbi.

Wanyan Zongbi took it and knocked it, hearing the crisp sound of silver.

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "These are the pure silver of my Song Dynasty official ticket number. Every box here is filled with such silver ingots. Because I spent some on the road. There are still more than ninety left here. Ten thousand taels. If the Jurchen tribe is willing to cooperate with me, the Song Dynasty, all this money will be donated to the Jurchen tribe to purchase the necessary weapons and serve as military pay."

Looking at more than one million taels of silver, Murong Fu was also very greedy. This amount of money is not a small amount. If he still has the money, he can recruit more soldiers. Seeing so much money, Zhao Mu gave it all to these Jurchen barbarians. Murong Fu was really jealous.

Wanyan Zongbi put the silver back into the box. Then he bowed to Zhao Mu and said, "Your Highness King Qi, I will definitely convince my father to do the best for the Song Dynasty."

Although Wanyan Zongbi said this, Zhao Mu also saw greed and ambition in his eyes.

Wanyan Zongbi saw how wealthy Song Dynasty was. Although he did not dare to show anything now, he had already developed a desire for Song Dynasty in his heart. The prince of the Song Dynasty had such a beautiful woman and so much money. A wild man like him, who risked his life in the mountains and forests, was naturally envious and jealous.

Zhao Mu said: "Very good, as long as the Jurchen tribe does its best, our Song Dynasty will not treat you badly. Young Chief, please go out to host the discussion first. If anyone asks, just say that he is a Korean businessman who bought a lot from you. Something of value.”

Wanyan Zongbi replied: "Yes! I will obey the instructions of His Highness King Qi."

After saying that, Wanyan Zongbi was about to leave.

Zhao Mu thought of something at this time and said, "Young Chief, wait a moment."

Wanyan Zongbi stopped and asked, "I wonder if His Highness King Qi has any other instructions?"

Zhao Mu said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask the young chief if there are any rare and beautiful furs there. If there are, please leave them for me. I can't go to Goryeo in vain. , I want to take some beautiful furs back to give to my wife and concubines. If anyone else wants to buy them, please let the young chief stay."

Wanyan Zongbi smiled when he heard this and said: "Haha, of course, if His Highness King Qi likes it, I can give all the furs I brought this time to His Highness King Qi."

Zhao Mu said: "I don't need them all, just some treasures. There are more than twenty pieces, which is enough for me to give away. Oh! By the way! If you have good Laoshan ginseng, please give it to me too." The king left a few boxes. I have many elders in the capital. I must show my filial piety."

Wanyan Zongbi said: "Of course! Of course! I will go and select the best furs and the best ginseng for His Highness King Qi."

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Then Chief Lao Shao will take the trouble. But in order to cover up others' deception, I also asked the young chief to send someone to move two boxes of silver up first. If anyone asks, just say that this generous Goryeo noble here has already bought it. . The young chief can also use the money to find other merchants to buy the things you need."

Wanyan Zongbi replied: "Yes!"
