  Chapter 133 Sincerity
  Only then did Sheng Changbai realize that the envoys from the Liao Kingdom were here to confer Yin Gao the title of king!

Make the king!
  Heights that can never be reached.

Sheng Changbai felt that for a military commander and a distinguished noble, being crowned king was the pinnacle. How many nobles of the opposite sex in history could receive such an honor?

Just like he himself wanted to become the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty one day.

"If it were you, which one would you choose?" Yin Ga glanced at Yelu Sa jokingly and said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Sa shook his head and said: "If it were me, I would naturally choose the 'King of Yan' awarded by Daliao. Not to mention other things, this title alone is better than the 'Zhongyong Marquis' of the Song Dynasty." They are much more sincere, right?"

Yin Lao glanced at Sheng Changbai again.

Sheng Changbai looked embarrassed. Although he followed Qingliu's path, he still had a lot of truth in his heart. He also felt that the court was unfair to Yin Gao this time.

That's the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun!
  Since Shi Jin, the homeland of the Han family has been suffering from other people for many years. Now Yin Gao can conquer the five states with only his own strength, without the support of any soldiers from the imperial court, or even a grain of grain!
  How brave is that?

But the final imperial title was only to be a loyal and brave marquis.

"The imperial court...the imperial court has its own considerations, and the Song Dynasty will not treat any hero lightly."

After a long while, Sheng Changbai, who was blushing, could hold back these words.

"Ah."

Yelu Sa shook his head and chuckled, "If you ask me, since you are a virtual prince, your Song country should also be more generous. Think of Huo Guangjun of the Han Dynasty, who was granted the title of wolf as a Xu when he was only eighteen years old. General Yin was not even ten years old. Eight, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, why are you not willing to give me a champion?"

Champion? !

When Sheng Changbai heard this, he remembered.

Yes, Yin Lao seems to have just turned eighteen, right?

Although he did not have the title of Fenglangjuxu, his achievements are not much worse than those of Fenglangjuxu.

"Okay, envoy."

Yin Gao looked at Sheng Changbai's expression of being unable to hold in his fart, waved his hand, and said to Yelu Sa: "There is no need to separate anymore. It doesn't matter whether he can be granted the title of Lang Juxu or not. It doesn't matter whether he is a king or a marquis..."

Speaking of this, Sheng Changbai and Yelu Sa both looked at Yin Gao.

Do you have to make a choice?

"...I am still a subject of the Song Dynasty, and this cannot be changed."

Yin Gao said lightly, "But since your envoy came here with sincerity, I, Yin Gao, am not an unreasonable person. Let's do this. Thirty thousand fine military horses and one hundred thousand yellow sheep can be regarded as the compensation for this war. How about this?" ?”

"General Yin..."

Yelusha was anxious and immediately wanted to refute.

Yes, Daliao has no shortage of military horses and yellow sheep, and there is a lot of surplus. They are not even as important to Daliao as salt and iron.

But after all this calculation, it’s still one million taels of silver!

"Don't refuse in a hurry."

Yin Gao waved his hand and said, "These materials are far easier for you to obtain than real silver. Just pay a little from each of the noble tribes in your clan. That's it. I'll give it to you." I have to contribute my own money to provide pensions for my soldiers, and besides..."

Speaking of this, Yin Gao glanced at Sheng Changbai inadvertently.

Then he continued: "... In addition, I can promise that Zhuo, You, Shun, Ji, Tan, Mo, and Ying, all seven states under my rule, Yin Kuo, can trade with the Liao Kingdom. I don't know if this sincerity is enough." ?”

"Zixun..." Sheng Changbai couldn't help but become anxious when he heard this.

Yin Gao didn't look at him, but he knew what he was going to say, so he immediately waved his hand to stop him.

Yelusha thought for a moment, and then said: "Isn't General Yin's words a bit absolute? I, Daliao, will not let the country lose even an inch!" Yin Ga smiled and said: "It's absolutely not true. If you If you want to continue the fight, I'm happy to accompany you. I'm not afraid to tell you that my 70,000-strong army is already pointing under the Great Wall, and will soon be able to command Gui and Ruzhou, and your country... The battle with the Puppet Xia a few years ago After the war, there must not be many soldiers left, right?”

As soon as these words came out, Yelusha's face was shocked and he subconsciously looked at Sheng Changbai.

Seeing that he was in a daze, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Gao was right. The Liao Kingdom did not have many soldiers to fight, but they thought it was enough to deal with Yin Gao's 70,000 troops.

However, if a nationwide crusade was launched, the country would be empty, and the number of troops stationed in various cities would be greatly reduced. By then, countries such as Song, Xia, Jurchen, Japan, Korea, and even Dali in the south might take advantage of the situation and rise up.

With his joints tangled and knotted, Yelusha took a deep breath and said, "This matter is important. I forgive you for not being able to make arbitrary decisions. You must report it to Your Majesty before you can reply."

Yin Gao smiled: "This is natural, but... I only give you one month."

Yelu Sa's face turned solemn: "General Yin, is this too..."

"One month is enough. After all, my soldiers and horses cannot waste time here. One more day will mean one more day of food and grass."

Yin Lao shook his head and interrupted his words. Then he patted Yelusha on the shoulder with sincerity and said gently, "Your Majesty, you are not a family member. You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are."

Yelusha froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.

And Sheng Changbai was even more shocked and speechless. The Liao Kingdom, which they had once been extremely afraid of, lowered his head under Yin Gao's few words. No matter what he thought, it was incredible.

But he didn't know that these were all dignified bones.

……

That night, Yelvsa didn't even eat the banquet prepared by Yin Gao for him and Sheng Changbai. He hurriedly left Youzhou and returned to Shangjing in person to report the matter to Jingfu Emperor Yelu Zongzhen.

One month is neither long nor short.

It is enough to go back and forth between Shangjing and Youzhou. Next, it depends on the sincerity.

At the banquet.

"Zixun, do you really...want to communicate with the Liao Kingdom?" After several glasses of wine, Sheng Changbai gained the courage to ask this question.

"Yes." Yin Gahun gnawed on a chicken leg nonchalantly.

"But..." Sheng Changbai hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

Yin Zao finished chewing the chicken leg, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "Brother Changbai, our Song Dynasty has been trading with the Liao Kingdom since the Chanyuan Alliance. What does this have to do with it?"

Sheng Changbai sighed and said, "But should we report this matter to the officials first?"

He knew that Yin Gao's status in the land of Yanyun was already extraordinary at this time. Even the Liao Kingdom no longer sent envoys to Bianjing to discuss matters. Instead, they crossed the Song Dynasty and directly found Yin Gao.

This is not a good sign.

However, Yin Zao smiled and shook his head, but didn't say a word more.

Sheng Changbai sighed in his heart.

Immediately, he asked again in a strange way: "Then...are you going back with me?"

Yin Ga looked at him and said with a smile: "Return, why not?"

Sheng Changbai was stunned again.
