Chapter 748
He walked out of the palace slowly. Yelu Yan, who was obviously very tired, couldn't help but look up at the sun in the middle of the sky that day, narrowed his eyes and let out a long breath of turbid air.
Finally, he did not disappoint his old friend's expectations, and finally convinced His Majesty to agree to summon troops from the northern tribes to go south to conquer the Song State.
However, after the hard persuasion of the civil and military officials of the court, Yelu Hongji reluctantly gave up his plan to personally lead the army.
Afterwards, the emperor chose several leaders. After discussions by all the ministers, he finally agreed that his majesty's brother, King Song, would go to the capital to be the commander, and recruit 100,000 troops from the Great Liao and 150,000 tribes from the north to fight against the Song State.
Yelu and Luwu were the commander, and Yelu Yan did not object. After all, compared to the unrestrained emperor, King Song, who stayed in the capital, Yelu and Luwujiu were quite prestigious in the army and were loyal and cautious. Although he had only had a few experiences of leading his army to suppress rebellions in the north, he had no major defeat and victory, and could only be regarded as a doctrine of the mean.
If such a person takes charge of the head coach, his status and status will not be a problem. However, in terms of military use, it is much better than sending someone who is too bold and arrogant. After all, you need to face the Song State, rather than those northern aliens who only know how to rely on brute force to fight.
Compared with the other candidates, only the King of Song, who can only be called the doctrine of the mean, can be very useful and can be seen how powerful the people of the Daliao people have withered.
Yelu Yan did not stay outside the palace, but saw Yelu and Luwu walking over surrounded by a group of flattery. It seemed that the ministers who were slapping Yelu and Luwu saw Yelu Yan, the chief of the court, seemed to be waiting for Yelu and Luwu here, and then scattered after celebrating Yelu Yan.
"Yan has seen Your Highness..." Yelu Yan smiled at Yelu and Luwu after those people left.
"Prime Minister must not do this. I know what kind of person he is. Today, I am extremely nervous and I am thinking about finding time to visit the Prime Minister..." Yelu and Luwu quickly returned a bow and smiled bitterly.
"This burden is too heavy for Gu. In fact, Gu is more willing to continue to stay in Beijing than to bear this burden."
"Your Highness is such a bad word. If your Highness does not take on this burden, who can take on the courage and knowledge?" Yelu Yan smiled and shook his head. "I don't know if your Highness has free time. Today, the emperor is the official to the east..."

In a restaurant not far from the Great Liao Palace, the two sat at the same table. Although there were fine wine and delicacies, neither of them had any appetite.
Yelu and Luwu, who were very self-aware, expressed their straightforwardness to Yelu Yan that they hoped to get some guidance from him. But the problem is that, as the chief of the Great Liao Dynasty, even if Yelu Yan wanted to help, at most he could only say a few good words for Yelu and Luwu who were on the expedition at that time in the court, so that the supplies of weapons and supplies could be provided in time.
"What should I do? Xiao Shen has always been incompatible with the lonely person, and today, he has been bent under me, and he must be dissatisfied. At that time, if the army is outside, the army supervisor and the commander are in conflict, there will be big trouble."
Yelu and Luwu have always been afraid of trouble. This is why since he took over as the Shangjing Left 15 years ago, His Majesty has promised him other positions several times, but he has always refused.
After all, he would rather stay here, go to and from get off work safely and don't have to worry about other issues.
"This time, the subordinate recommended Xiao Wu, the envoy of Xuanwei of the Northern Court, to His Majesty, to take Laozi Xiao as the military supervisor, but the emperor was not satisfied, but instead promised Xiao Shen..." Yelu Yan was also very distressed.
Xiao Shen is also a guy who has no talent in his heart and only knows how to behave and bully his subordinates, but it just happened that our Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Great Liao Dynasty likes such people.
Yelu Hongji has been in power for many years since the reign of Yelu Hongji, it was because of such a treacherous slander that led to civil strife in the Liao Dynasty. But now, Yelu Hongji has not only not awakened at all, but still stubbornly likes these ulterior motives. It is really painful.
But they were helpless, or in other words, the Emperor of Daliao was like a magnet of superior quality. Even if the flatterer ambushed by the sand came to the Emperor of Daliao, he would emit a brilliant light.
"What's more, this time, all the northern tribes are required to send troops to assist in the war. At that time, those unruly people will be in front of you. If there is a conflict between Gu and Xiao Shen, wouldn't that be a joke for the people of the world to show our Great Liao?" Yelu and Luwu were very troubled.
However, he had many words, but he could not say them as his own brother.
After pondering for a while, Yelu Yan made a decision after rubbing his swelling eyebrows. "What Your Highness said is so, let's do it. The lord will contact your colleagues at that time and think of a way to see if you can change your mind. If not, at least... at least not let the most ugly situation happen."
There is no way. Although Yelu Hongji also trusted Xiao Wuna, the envoy of Xuanwei of the Northern Court, now Xiao Wuna is in Xixia and it is difficult to turn back to the capital. His Majesty wants to be a villain whom he favors, and it is also ordinary.

In March, the stretches of farmland outside Yanzhou City were busy with people. In addition to the original Han people in Yanzhou, most of them were the family members of the Xiang army who migrated from Shaanxi Road.
Every household can receive their own land deeds, food, jerky, various living materials, farming tools, and even plowing ox from the government.
Even pots, bowls, scoops, and basins can be obtained. It can be said that the service of the government will definitely make these family members feel as if they are home.
Compared to the broken thatched hut in my hometown, the acre of three-point land that makes people unable to fill their stomachs, it is really not too happy to come here.
In addition, the government also specially mobilized a group of officials who knew how to farm in farming and farming, and specifically told these people in batches and shifts how to cultivate dry land here, how to irrigate and plant more effectively, and if the yield per mu can be maximized.
This has allowed many people who are neglecting farming or from further south to learn about the common sense of dry land farming here.
At the junction of the three states of Yan, You and Hong, there are currently thousands of staff who have rich grazing experience who have been transferred to the horses and horses. They are specializing in grazing cattle and horses. They also specially selected a group of good horses from war horses, and spent a lot of money to buy excellent stallions from the Western Regions, striving to build this area into an excellent horse farm in the Song Dynasty.
In addition, Wang Yang specially purchased a large number of alfalfa seeds through those smuggling merchants and signed cooperation agreements with more than 3,000 households.
The alfalfa they plant will be purchased by the government and exchanged for two stones of grain per mu of land.
