Chapter 444 Internal restructuring is the top priority of Khitan
The banquet of the alliance seemed to end in a peaceful manner. Li Keyong was still sitting in the tent, looking at Abaoji, leading 70,000 Khitan cavalry to gallop eastward, and then rolled up smoke and dust in the sky. His face was still filled with the arrogance of a overlord, and he snorted coldly with disdain.
What's the use of many people coming? Do you think you can scare the lonely? In the end, you still leave with awkward manner?
Li Siyuan walked to Li Keyong, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Father, in my opinion, although Yelu Abaoji agreed to withdraw from Yan State, he was afraid he was convinced orally and dissatisfied..."
"Hmph! Of course he was not convinced. Seeing that the meat he was about to swallow into his mouth, Gu insisted that Abaoji vomited it out! But what if he was dissatisfied? He was also delusional to go south to occupy the territory of Yan!"
Li Ke said in a loud voice, then he paused and suddenly murmured:
"With the chaos in Yan, the Khitan retreated, and it was time for our army to send Lu Long... Cunxu is now obeying the orders under the Jianyan brothers' tent and is preparing to advance eastward. However, Gu should have brought him here. How to deal with various tribes outside the Khitan and other tribes, Cunxu also needs to see more..."
As he was talking, Li Keyong turned his head and looked at Li Siyuan who was standing with a stern hand, and said:
"Siyuan, remember that although you are also from the Shatuo people, you have already become a native of the Han and Tang dynasties. But you must know that you have to deal with the tribes outside the border. Some Han scholars advocated the practice of educating barbarians to use the kingly way, and showing them to save them with kindness. It was purely a foul fart. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was respectfully called Tian Khan by the tribes in the north of the border. In the end, he still had the reputation of his reputation.
However, the tenacious prey of the weak in the desert in the northern border area is not advisable, and it is definitely necessary to appease the grace. Someone had previously persuaded the Gu Khitan to become increasingly powerful now. It might as well design the opportunity to capture A Baoji as a threat, but we can do something that is untrustworthy to others first (as stated in "Zizhi Tongjian·Volume 266": A Baoji went to Yunzhou, and the King of Jin met with him, met with him, and made a brother, and he was in his tent. When he was drunk and shook hands and had fun, he might persuade the King of Jin: "Because of his coming, he could capture it." The king said: "The enemy has not been destroyed and the barbarians are destroyed, and he will die by himself.").
A Baoji was willing to listen to Gu’s advice because our fists were harder and more ruthless! Now the Khitan is willing to give in, but he must still have to Gu in the future. Let’s talk to him about the truth, but if he advises him with kind words, we will fight! Only after he has learned painful lessons again and again, let the invading enemy know fear, hehe... they will naturally listen to the kingly teachings."
Li Keyong said it, and slowly stood up. Although he was getting older, he still looked around with a spirit of showing his stock index to guide the country:
"Like you and I have become a citizen of Tang territory, the Shatuo people still have some Han people regard us as uncivilized barbarians; and there are also many tribes outside the border who think that we have already polished our blood and ruthlessness in our bones in Middle Earth...
But I wanted to let the people of the world understand that we are the people of the Tang Dynasty. In this world, we will be in charge of the power and follow the heavens and the people. Our Jin State will not be worse than other Han people who are called lonely and widowed. For the outsiders, if we want to reason, we will talk to them, but I, Shatuo... and even the soldiers and civilians of all tribes under the rule of Jin State, will still be more fierce and more cruel than them!"
Li Siyuan looked at Li Keyong's back in a daze, and suddenly felt a passionate rushing up, and a sense of reverence suddenly ejaculated in his heart. He bowed his head and immediately responded loudly:
"Yes! The father's teachings must be kept in mind!"
Li Keyong nodded. Because he was old, he had already felt a little tired after visiting Yelu Abaoji in Yunzhou. However, he had successfully deterred the Khitan and did not dare to implicate the territory of Yan. The Jin State took over and had the opportunity to take the opportunity to attack his mortal enemy Liu Rengong, which was worth the trip and achieved his goal.
However, there is another reason that can force Abaoji to withdraw his troops from the two towns of Lulong and Henghai, Yan State, that is, that boy Li Tianqu also sent troops north... The two major countries of Jin and Wei took action together, how could he not retreat?
In addition to the alliance to fight against Zhu Wen, Gu and that boy, they thought of going together again... In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Gu can fight, and you can fight with other countries and towns. Even if they had to let Liu Rengong seize the opportunity, no matter whether we are enemies or friends, we would definitely not give the tribes outside the border an opportunity to take advantage of them.
But the tricks you did in secret are already clear. In the end, there is only one emperor in the world. You will not surrender to you, and you will never be able to surrender to you. In the end, you will not be able to accept two tigers in one mountain... You do not hold a grudge against you, but when the country has no two masters, you will inevitably decide the outcome between you and me...
Li Keyong felt the consequences, and couldn't help but think of the god. Jinhou waited for Li Siyuan behind Li Keyong for a while, but he didn't see his adoptive father replying. He walked up to look at him in confusion, but saw that Li Keyong, who had just been domineering, was standing quietly, and there was no more domineering aura in his body. At this time, he was just a contemplative old man, silent...
Ten miles away from the big tent of the banquet alliance in the East City of Yunzhou, there were a huge cavalry formation rushing eastward. As the leader of the military and political affairs of the Khitan tribes, Yelu Helu, the confidant beside Yu Yue, also looked at the side from time to time with concern, because since he left the big tent set by Li Keyong, A Baoji's face was as pale as he was, and his face was as deep as water while he was running.
After all, with Abaoji's current identity, he is more than one person in the Khitan tent alliance and more than ten thousand people. The actual power he controls has surpassed that of Hendejinkhan, the leader of the tribal alliance.
However, when he came to visit, he deliberately showed goodwill to King Jin. Although Li Keyong happily agreed to be brothers with A Baoji, his domineering behavior also showed a sense of coercion. With A Baoji's current identity, he came to meet King Jin from afar, but was ordered to give up the huge benefits he could win. Of course, A Baoji was already angry.
However, after a while, A Baoji's expression gradually calmed down. He suddenly burst into laughter and said with emotion:
"No wonder Li Keyong dominated Hedong and dominated the country in Central Earth. Such a spirit is indeed a great master of the generation. It's a pity that at least for now... My Khitan is indeed not as good as Jin State. In this period of time, he will be arrogant for the time being!"
Seeing this, Yelu Helu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately said:
"It seems that although the King of Jin was born in Shatuo, he was as thoughtful as the Han people in the Tang Dynasty. For many years, Zhongtu has never been peaceful, but they fought and killed each other, but our tribesmen could not allow our tribe to migrate to the wealthy territory in the south. It seemed that I, the Khitans, were destined to be able to live in the bitter and cold land in the north!
But my brother once said that what the Han people said makes sense: Only by being able to bend and stretch can you achieve hegemony. Of course, I understand your current concerns, but now King Li Keyong of Jin...especially, Emperor Wei Li Tianqu also imposes interference, and we really cannot provoke you.
After all, Wei, Jurchen, and the Bohai Kingdom in the east have not yet been conquered. Although this time, although he could not stand in the Yan land in the Middle Earth, the chaos in Yan was originally a surprise for us. Since we have no chance to look south to Yan land, we should still act according to our previous plan."
Under the crotch, the horse was galloping, and Abaoji's body kept bumping, but he pondered and thought, and after a moment, he suddenly said again:
"Even if the tribes outside the border conquered and merged for a while, they may not necessarily compete for the foundation of the descendants of our Khitan for generations. Looking back at the alliance between the eight ancestors, they were already the Central Plains Jin Dynasty... Oh, it was not the Jin State of Li Keyong Nashatuhan, but it was more than 500 years ago.
During the period of Central China, the rise and fall of the Khitan dynasties, but the Khitan tents have been ruled by foreign tribes for a long time? Even though the Tang Dynasty has fallen to this day, our Khitan has gradually grown, but we still have to be coerced by Wei, Jin and other countries... After all, our Khitan tribes must not only have their own family, their own tribes, their own ethnic groups... and their own country."
