Chapter 961 The establishment of Western Liaoning

On a plain in the northernmost plain of Xijing Road in Liao Kingdom, Yelu Chun's army was stationed here after surrendering to the Song Dynasty. In the central tent of the camp, Yelu Jun hesitated to Yelu Dashi in front of him, "Big Shi, although we are surrendered generals, the Song Dynasty is quite good to us. We have fulfilled the conditions we promised us before, and the General Yang also promised us that we will definitely reward us in the future. So I think there is nothing wrong with surrendering to the Song Dynasty, otherwise we will give up our original plan?"

Seeing that Yelu Chun actually wanted to give up his original plan, Yelu Dashi immediately advised anxiously: "Uncle Wang, the Song Dynasty is the time when we need us now. And after conquering the Liao Dynasty, they also need Your Majesty to calm the people of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, the Song Dynasty will definitely find a way to appease you for the time being, but think about it, after the Liao Kingdom is stable, you will not only be useless to the Song Dynasty, but will also make the Song Dynasty worry that the existence of your Majesty will affect the stability of the Liao territory. In this way, do you think the Song Dynasty will keep you? Don't forget the lessons of the Tang Houzhu and others back then!"

"This..." Yelu Chun couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. Although he was not the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, his reputation in the Liao Kingdom was only under Yelu Jun. If the senior officials of the Song Dynasty thought that his existence threatened the security of the Liao territory, he would probably be silently eliminated by the Song Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yelu Chun couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was a person who cherished his life very much. Otherwise, he would not have surrendered to the Song Dynasty without regard for his reputation. Although his surrender had another purpose, he also had the intention of protecting himself. It is precisely because of this that he did not want his life to be held in his hands.

Seeing that Yelu Chun's attitude had already supported, Yelu Dashi hurriedly advised again: "Uncle Wang, as the saying goes, a real man cannot be powerless for a day. Although the Song Dynasty now allows you to retain the troops in your hands, but after they completely digest the Liao territory, they will definitely attack you. If you hand over power, then you will be allowed to be kneaded by the Song Dynasty. If you don't hand over, you will definitely be forced by the Song Dynasty to attack with the current strength of the Song Dynasty. How can you resist at that time?"

When he said this, Yelu Dashi paused for a moment and then said, "But if we follow our original plan, if we can break through the blockade of the Song army and escape to the grassland in the west in one fell swoop, with your prestige on the grassland, you can definitely easily recruit an army. At that time, you can compete with the Song Dynasty and retreat to the Western Regions to develop. Although the Song Dynasty is powerful, it is impossible to really send troops to the Western Regions. Uncle Wang can build the Liao Kingdom again there. If it succeeds, not only can you stop relying on anyone's breath, but you can also pass on the throne of the Liao Kingdom. In the future, you will be the Lord of the Restoration of our Khitans!"

Yelu Dashi's words were also very inflammatory. Yelu Chun was not a willing person to live under others. He had no chance in the past, so he hid his ambitions. But now he has a chance to build a country of his own, which made his ambitions suddenly expand. As the saying goes, heroes come from troubled times, now for them, the Khitans, it is an absolute chaotic era. As long as he takes the banner of rebuilding the Liao Kingdom, he will definitely attract more people to join him.

"Okay! That's it. Nie Shi, please prepare. Three days later, break through the Song army's blockade and march into the grassland!" Yelu Chun finally gritted his teeth and said. After making this decision, Yelu Chun suddenly collapsed on the chair. He didn't stand up for a long time. After all, it was not easy to give up his comfortable life now and choose a path full of dangers and opportunities.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, my nephew must prepare it for you!" Yelu Dashi said excitedly when he heard Yelu Chun's words. After saying that, he immediately stood up and said goodbye. After all, he wanted to break through the blockade of the Song Dynasty and reach the grassland. There are still many things to do.

However, after Yelu Dashi left the tent, his steps suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face slowly calmed down. He turned his head and glanced at the handsome tent behind him, then shook his head and sighed. He originally thought that Yelu Chun was a person who could assist him, but unfortunately now it seemed that the other party was not as ambitious as he imagined. If it weren't for his hard advice today, Yelu Chun would have only been willing to be a minister of the Song Dynasty, which also made him doubt the path he chose.

Three days later, Yelu Chun's army suddenly left the garrison. When he surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he proposed to keep the army. Therefore, most of his army was his confidants at the time and he always followed his orders. After they left the garrison, they immediately rushed to the western grasslands at full speed.

At that time, Yelu Chun did not surrender to the Song Dynasty sincerely, but used it to paralyze the Song Dynasty. Their real purpose was to escape to the grasslands in the west, but the three armies of the Song Dynasty were launched at the same time. At that time, the passage between the land of the Liao Kingdom and the grasslands had been cut off by the Old General Guhe. Yelu Chun dared not take this risk, so he finally decided to surrender to the Song Dynasty temporarily and then find an opportunity to escape to the grasslands. Now the army of the Song Dynasty was attracted by the Jin army, and the troops in the rear were naturally a little empty. This was naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yelu Chun.

It is precisely because of this that Yelu Chun dared to mobilize the army without military orders and left the base without permission. However, they walked west not far away and met the army left by the Old General Guhe in the rear. However, because the front line was too long, the number of troops Yelu Chun and his friends encountered was not large. Therefore, Yelu Chun quickly destroyed the Song army, and he also sneaked into a grain transfer station behind the ancient general and looted all the food and grass, because they were going to rush to the grassland, and they would definitely need a lot of food and grass to support the road.

Yelu Chun made trouble in the rear and snatched a batch of food and grass that should have been transported to the front line. This immediately disrupted the advantages of the ancient generals. Even the army had to stop because of the lack of food and grass. What's worse, after learning that the ancient generals and Yang Huaiyu had no idea that after learning that there was a chaos in the rear, they did not dare to attack the Jin Kingdom rashly, so as not to cause chaos in the rear, resulting in the failure of their military operations. This also caused the Jin Kingdom to be rescued from the brink of destruction.

After Yelu Chun's army broke through the blockade of the Song Dynasty, it successfully entered the grassland. Speaking of which, Yelu Chun had previously pacified the grassland on behalf of the Liao Kingdom, and even quelled several rebellions on the grassland. Therefore, he had a bit of prestige on the grassland. So after he arrived at the grassland, he immediately announced the founding of the country and became emperor. The country's name was still used by the Great Liao, and it was called the Western Liao or the Later Liao in the history of later generations. (To be continued.)
