Under the helpless choice, Yelu Hongji could only find a way to obtain the support of the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, and between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, Yelu Hongji hoped to obtain the support of the Western Xia, because although the Western Xia could not catch up with the Great Song Dynasty in terms of economic strength, the Xia army should be more effective than the Song army in Yelu Hongji's eyes.
In July of the second year of Xianyong of Liao Daozong, that is, in July of the fifth year of the assimilation of Western Xia, Yelu Hongji sent the king of the Northern Court and the privy envoy of the Northern Court Yelu Yixin to envoy to Western Xia, this time Yelu Yixin sent an envoy to Western Xia with a major task, in the view of Northern Liao, Western Xia is now inclined to Southern Liao, and the strength of Southern Liao is stronger than Northern Liao, Northern Liao must get an ally, and Li Liangzuo's rule of Western Xia is the best choice.
There are many advantages to forming an alliance with the Western Xia for the Northern Liao, the first can open up contact with the besieged Yeluren first, and the second can stabilize their rear, now the Western Xia and most of the areas controlled by the Northern Liao are bordered, and the third Xia army has strong combat effectiveness, and advanced weapons and equipment, the Northern Liao can obtain these strategic materials that are urgently needed from the Western Xia.
If Yelu Yixin can persuade Li Liangzuo to support Northern Liao, it will be of great significance to Northern Liao, and he can quickly restore his strength; But Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dao Sect and Yelu Yixin, the king of the Northern Courtyard, would not have thought that Li Liangzuo had prepared a big pocket at this time and was waiting for the Northern Liao to drill into the internal turmoil of Liao, which was divided into Southern Liao and Northern Liao, which was an opportunity given to him by God for Li Liangzuo, an opportunity to weaken the weak Liao State.
Yong'an Mountain, inside the great tent of Yeluhongji.
Although it was decided to win over the Western Xia, but the specific bottom line of the attraction still had to be discussed, Yelu Hongji was unwilling to accept all the conditions of the Western Xia unconditionally, so before Yelu Yixin sent the envoy, the two needed to negotiate a bottom line, this bottom line could not be too high, too high It is very likely that the Western Xia would not accept it, but it could not be too low, too low would damage too much of the interests of Northern Liao.
Just when the two were discussing in the big tent, there was a commotion outside the big tent, when the two monarchs and ministers came out of the tent and saw the people who were stopped outside by the soldiers, Yelu Hongji cried excitedly, this person is Yelu Hongji's youngest daughter Yue Guo Princess Yelu Tri, Yelu Tri inherited the excellent genes of her mother Xiao Guanyin, and was known as the first woman in Liao since she was a child.
However, at this time, Yelutri was very embarrassed, and she couldn't tell that it was Princess Da Liao, since the imperial city of Linhuang Mansion was breached, this Da Liao princess has been living a life of exile since escaping from the imperial city, and she has traveled a lot of places during this time, in order to find her father, the hard work paid off, and today she finally found her father Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong.
The appearance of Yelu Tri made Yelu Yixin's eyes shine, Yelu Tri, as the first beauty of Da Liao, is an important resource for Yelu Hongji, who is now down, and Yelu Yixin is now fighting Yelu Tri's idea, but if it is to be implemented, it must be affirmed by Yelu Hongji.
After the princess was arranged, Yelu Yixin avoided the princess and said to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, it is really gratifying that the little princess escaped from death."
Yelu Hongji sighed and said, "It's all to blame, if I had been more cautious, I wouldn't be in this situation today." ” Yelu Yixin said tentatively to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, the princess's return is an opportunity for you and this Da Liao, an opportunity given to us by God. ” Yelu Hongji asked Yelu Yixin with a questioning face: "What is the opportunity?"
Yelu Yixin said boldly: "If Your Majesty marries the princess to the Emperor of Western Xia, and I make peace with Western Xia, won't it be equivalent to tying Western Xia to our chariot?"
Yelu Yixin's words deeply touched Yelu Hongji, and kissing is indeed a good way to win over Western Xia, but on the other hand, Yelu Hongji is also reluctant to have his daughter, after all, Yelu Hongji only has such a relative by his side.
Before Yeluhongji made a decision, Yelutri walked in from outside the tent, and at this time, Yelutri no longer had the original embarrassment, and was completely a perfect princess image, in the words of the steppe people, a white swan.
After Yelutri entered the account, he saluted Yelu Hongji and said: "Father, the son is willing to go to Western Xia, and the son has grown up, and he should change to Da Liao to do his best." ” In this case, Yelu Hongji agreed to the Western Xia and Qin, and the Northern Liao mission with Yelu Yixin as the special envoy set off from Yong'an Mountain and walked on the grassland for more than a month, and Yelu Yixin was not idle on the way to visit the chiefs of the major grassland tribes along the way, although these grassland tribes were under the rule of the Liao State, but basically in a state of autonomy, the Liao State adopted a policy of restraint on the Mo Nan grassland tribes, which was also a way for the Central Plains Dynasty to manage the grassland peoples.
The so-called fetters policy simply means that the leaders of each tribe accept the appointment of the imperial court, and the chiefs and nobles of these ethnic minorities can hold official positions, but their rights are limited to their own tribes, and the finances, government affairs, and armies within the tribes are all under their management, and they are in a state of high autonomy.
Now the power of Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong has been greatly weakened, at this time Yelu Hongji can rely on the support of these grassland tribes, after all, the rest of the Liao State has been occupied by Yelu Chongyuan's Southern Liao, and Yelu Yixin's harvest is very large along the way, because the Liao State has long implemented a relatively loose policy on these grassland tribes, so that these grassland tribes are grateful to the emperor of Liao; All the steppe tribes expressed their allegiance to Yeluhongki.
After the end of the grassland itinerary, Yelu Yixin's mission entered the Hetao Plain in the south of the Gaoque Pass of the Yin Mountains, and officially entered the Xixia country, the Gaoque Pass is an important fortress in the north of the Hetao area of the Xixia Dynasty, and it is an important passage to block the southward movement of the grassland tribes of the Liao State.
Ningxia is compared with the Hexi region, but it is also a vibrant scene, and more importantly, with the large-scale planting of peach in the Hetao area, the brewed peach wine began to be sold all over the world, which played an important role in the development of the Hetao area.
From the Hetao south along the Yellow River to Xingqing Mansion, the more south along the way, the richer it becomes, Yelu Yixin has to admit that the wealth of the Western Xia is more than that of the Southern Liao region controlled by Yelu Chongyuan, and the overall national strength of the Western Xia is in a period of rapid development, while the Liao State has been declining due to civil strife.
At the same time, along the way, the princess Yelutri also had some understanding of the emperor of the Western Xia, and after entering the Western Xia Kingdom, you can hear all kinds of legends about the emperor everywhere, in the minds of the people of the Western Xia, Li Liangzuo is a fairy descending to earth, and the image of Li Liangzuo has been completely deified, which makes this young princess have a great interest in Li Liangzuo.
