Chapter 941 Yelu Chun returns?
Hu Yanqing and Xiao Dilie were both among the people. At this time, they also heard something in Yelu Dashi's words. The two looked at each other, and then they saw Hu Yanqing saying, "What do you mean by your little brother Yelu? I'm a rough man. I have never liked others to say things clearly!"
"Hahaha~, General Hu Yan is indeed a cheerful person, so I'll just say it!" Yelu Dashi laughed loudly when he heard this, but he didn't dare to really treat Hu Yanqing as a rough man. The other party was already famous all over the world at his age. Such a person is definitely not a reckless man...
Thinking of this, Yelu Dashi restrained the smile on his face and spoke solemnly: "General Huyan, I am entrusted by King Jin of Qin. I came to see the general this time, but I actually wanted to make a deal!"
"Trade?" Hu Yanqing looked at Yelu Dashi with a lot of fun when he heard this word, and then he smiled and said, "In this situation, what else can you and the King of Qin and Jin behind you make a deal with us?"
Yelu Dashi ignored Hu Yanqing's sarcastic words and still said with a smile: "Since it's a transaction, we naturally have the bargaining chips to make transactions. For example, our King of Qin and Jin is willing to contribute Zhongjing to the Song Dynasty, and like General Xiao, he will help the Song Dynasty persuade the Liao army to surrender to the various places. You must know that although our King of Qin and Jin in the army is not as powerful as General Xiao’s father and son, his influence in the court is far from them, so this is definitely a rare good news for the Song Dynasty!"
"Yelu Chun is willing to surrender?" Hu Yanqing couldn't help but stand up in surprise and said, "You must know that Yelu Chun is no better than Xiao Dilie. The other party is the cousin of the Emperor of Liao, and he also holds great power. No matter from any aspect, it is a bit unexpected for him to suddenly decide to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
"General Huyan doesn't have to be surprised. You should know the situation of the Liao Kingdom better than us. As long as you have a long-term vision, you can see that the Liao Kingdom is powerless to turn things around.┞┝┠. Although the King of Qin and Jin was a royal family, he was not willing to be buried with the Liao Kingdom, so he naturally had to make plans for his future." At this time, Yelu Dashi spoke again.
Hearing Yelu Dashi say this, Hu Yanqing and Xiao Dilie looked at each other again. This reason is impossible to find fault, but it is still difficult to convince. You must know that although surrendering to the Song Dynasty can save his life, it has to bear the reputation of a traitor, and it is also equivalent to handing over his life to the Song Dynasty. Especially for the enemy royal family like Yelu Chun, who is alive is a threat to the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty does something secretly, it can make him disappear without knowing it. This feeling is not very good.
Yelu Dashi was extremely smart. Seeing Hu Yanqing and Xiao Dilie's faces with some suspicion, he spoke again: "General Hu Yan, if you don't believe it, the King of Qin and Jin will be willing to show his sincerity first. There is an army of 3,000 people stationed in the southeast of Zhongjing City. The generals of this army are our highness's confidant. As long as he gives orders, the other party will put down his weapons and surrender to the Song Dynasty. In addition, I can also stay in the Song army as a qualifier. How about it?"
Hu Yanqing was also surprised to hear that Yelu Dashi had to stay here for his own property. If he was hesitant at this time, he would seem a little petty. Therefore, he immediately made a decision: "Okay, since the King of Qin and Jin wants to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I, the Song Dynasty, naturally, have the tolerance for others, but there is no free banquet in this world. If the King of Qin and Jin has any conditions, it would be better to propose it now, so as not to lose all his words in the future!"
"It's refreshing, General Hu Yan is indeed a pleasure person. Our highness has some small conditions, but it's nothing to the Song Dynasty. I just hope that after we surrender, the Song Dynasty will agree to your highness to continue to lead the old subordinates in Zhongjing City. ═. [This is not because our highness has any selfish intentions, but because we want to lead our subordinates to establish more contributions to the Song Dynasty. For example, some prefectures in the western part of the Liao Kingdom, there are many people there who have a lot of connections with our Highness. As long as your Highness comes forward, you can persuade them to surrender to the Song Dynasty without bloodshed!" Yelu Dashi raised his own conditions with a calm face.
"Keep the army?" Hu Yanqing couldn't help frowning when he heard the other party's condition. From Yelu Chun's perspective, it was understandable that he retained the army. In this way, if the Song Dynasty turned against him, he could have some self-protection methods. However, for the Song Dynasty, letting Yelu Chun retain the army was a hidden danger, because it might make Yelu Chun and his army disobey the court's mobilization, thus creating the possibility of dominating one side. Even if the other party grows up, there might be a possibility of restoring the country for the Liao Kingdom.
Considering the above, Hu Yanqing was not sure about it for a moment, and this had already given his authority. After all, Yang Huaiyu was the commander of the overall situation, so something like this important must be decided by Yang Huaiyu.
Thinking of this, Hu Yanqing raised his head and said, "We can consider your conditions, but this requires the consent of the superior. So if Brother Yelu is not in a hurry to go back and report his life, he can stay with me for a few more days."
"That's natural. I came to the general this time. I was going back to get the accurate reply from the Song Dynasty, so I have disturbed the general these days!" Yelu Dashi was not polite at all, and bowed to Hu Yanqing immediately.
Seeing the other party agreeing, Hu Yanqing immediately asked Xiao Dilie to arrange a residence for Yelu Dashi. Because this matter still needs to be kept confidential, Yelu Dashi was not convenient for too many people to see it, so Xiao Dilie arranged to live in his camp. Hu Yanqing immediately wrote a letter to Yang Huaiyu, writing in detail about Yelu Chun's intentional surrender, and then sent a horse to the army behind.
Yelu Dashi followed Xiao Dilie to the tent he lived in temporarily, looked around and then smiled: "The Song Dynasty is indeed worthy of being rich in the world. It is just an ordinary tent. It is actually so exquisitely made and all kinds of supplies are very complete. I, Daliao, are willing to give up the disadvantage of this!"
"The Song Dynasty was indeed very rich. When I first arrived in the army, I was shocked by the treatment of the Song army. However, although the treatment of the Song army was high, the training was more stringent. To be honest, when I was in the Liao Dynasty, I always thought that the Song Dynasty only had the advantage of firearms. However, after seeing the training of the Song army with my own eyes, I realized that they could defeat the Liao Dynasty several times not only by relying on firearms and luck, but truly possessing this strength!" Xiao Dilie also breathed a long sigh and said. These words were his biggest feeling after entering the Song army. He could not tell people at ordinary times, but Yelu Dashi was a good object of discussion.
"Oh?" Yelu Dashi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect General Xiao to have such a high evaluation of the Song army. But this is not surprising. The Song Dynasty is rich in all over the world. As long as it can spend money on the right place, it will naturally be very easy to build a strong army. In addition, the Song Dynasty has destroyed Xixia and pacified Jiaozhi in recent years. It will win every battle, which makes the Song army's morale high. Even our Great Liao was defeated by the Song army. In this way, it is not surprising that the Song army has the current combat power."
When he said this, Yelu Dashi suddenly sighed, and then said with a depressed expression: "But on the other hand, our Liao Kingdom, under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, finally recovered from Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion. If His Majesty could always maintain his original wisdom, our Liao Kingdom might not be worse than the Song Kingdom. Unfortunately, his Majesty gradually ignored the government affairs over the years. Even if he was defeated by the Song army, he could not wake him up. Therefore, our Liao Kingdom has fallen to this level and cannot blame others!"
When Yelu Dashi mentioned the Emperor Yelu Jun of Liao, a complicated look flashed on Xiao Dilie's face. He should have hated Yelu Jun because it was because of him that the death of his father indirectly led to his father's death in battle. However, he also thought that his father was loyal to the Liao Dynasty and Yelu Jun throughout his life. Even before his father was arrested, he specifically told him not to hate Yelu Jun in the future, and even if he had the chance, he would protect Yelu Jun's safety. Xiao Dilie was also a filial son. Thinking of his father's instructions, he didn't know how to treat Yelu Jun in the future?
"Brother Yelu, it's getting late, and you probably haven't had dinner either. General Huyan's military plane is busy, and I'm afraid he can't hold a banquet to greet you, so I'll prepare some meals, but there is no wine in the army and the meals are crude. I hope Brother Yelu won't dislike you!" Xiao Dilie woke up quickly and smiled at Yelu Dashi.
"Brother Xiao is polite. I am indeed a little hungry. In addition, when I was in the Liao Dynasty, I admire Brother Xiao very much. Why don't we eat and chat together?" Yelu Dashi suddenly spoke and suggested.
"It's just my wish!" Xiao Dilie immediately agreed when he heard this. First, he had heard of Yelu Dashi for a long time and wanted to make friends with him. Second, the other party came to discuss the surrender of Yelu Chun to the Song Dynasty. If this matter was really accomplished, they were all surrendered generals of the Liao Kingdom. It would be a good thing to contact more in the future.
At that moment, Xiao Dilie asked someone to prepare the meal. After a while, several foods that were not good-looking were delivered, including braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, cumin and mutton, etc., and there was also a small pot of fruit. Of course, in the current month, these fruits must have been taken out of the can.
Seeing such a sumptuous meal, especially when Yelu Dashi learned that ordinary Song soldiers also ate these, he was even more unbelievable. However, when Xiao Dilie took him around for a while, he had to believe it even if he didn't believe it.
He once again praised the favorable treatment in the Song army. Yelu Dashi and Xiao Dilie returned to the tent to eat and chat. However, on the surface, the two seemed harmonious, but in fact they had their own intentions. Yelu Dashi wanted to find out more information about the Song army from Xiao Dilie, while Xiao Dilie wanted to find out from Yelu Dashi whether Yelu Chun really wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty?
