Chapter 87 Yelu Deguang
At this time, the Khitan Palace.

Yeluzhen had an audience with Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, and told Yelu Deguang exactly what Zong Xin had said, not daring to omit a single word.

Yelu Deguang was sweating profusely and gritted his teeth.Too vicious, simply too vicious.If he really sent his army south after the spring plowing next year, he might be captured alive.But as the Khitan emperor, even if he killed himself, he couldn't let the enemy capture him alive.

In the end, Yeluzhen also told Yelu Deguang all his conjectures and what Zong Xin had done during this time, and he was indeed an eminent monk.

Yelu Deguang said: "According to what King Shenwu said, Qing was by his side when the eminent monk was talking. He deliberately told you the plan and asked you to pass it on to the lonely king. Could it be that the eminent monk is not fully sure and just wants to scare him away with a strategy?" The lonely king dare not go south."

"Exactly." Yeluzhen said: "Based on my understanding of Master Zongxin, this person is indeed an eminent monk, and he does not want to see the world in chaos, with swords and soldiers everywhere. This person uses soldiers like a god, and once blocked Li Shouzhenyi with his own strength. Form an army of 8000 people, and let the guardians and 19 boys from the Zhao Clan fight back 6000 people from the reserve army. If it weren't for this move, I'm afraid the Central Plains would have to change their names again."

"A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. Zong Xin has no intention of assisting Daliao, but just a casual suggestion can make the Khitan national power flourish. If he is willing to assist, the lonely king will be able to win the world within three years." Yelu Deguang Sighing: "The spring wheat grows very well, it has already bloomed, and we are just waiting for the fruit. Gu Wang has never seen so much wheat grow in the territory of Daliao, and every time he sees it, he feels very excited."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have seen the spring wheat grow, and if there is no accident, the harvest will not be lower than that in the Central Plains."

"Hmm! Well said." Yelu Deguang is very excited every time he talks about spring wheat, and he likes to hear that the spring wheat harvest is good.This has been said by countless people, but I still can't help but feel excited.

The land of the Daliao Kingdom is relatively high, and only summer and autumn are suitable for temperatures, while spring and winter are extremely cold.Originally, Daliao was mainly nomadic and didn't know how to farm. It has only been more than [-] years since the founding of the country and has been constantly looking for methods of farming.After years of hard work, some highland barley was found in Tubo, which is suitable for cultivation, but the yield is very small and the taste is extremely bad.

The Tubo people are very similar to the Khitan people. They are also mainly nomadic and know nothing about farming.Highland barley is the only favorite staple food, but the Tibetans like it, but the Khitans cannot swallow it.Most of the highland barley is used to make wine, or to feed cattle, sheep and horses.

Those so-called masters also tried to grow rice and wheat, but they all failed.Because the temperature difference between the north and the south is huge, and the lack of water in the north is not suitable for growing grain, Yelu Deguang once gave up the idea of ​​growing grain.

Now that the real master has just said it out, the spring wheat is growing well now, how can it make people unhappy?As long as Khitan has food, the national power will continue to expand.This may be the most important step for Khitan to become truly powerful.

"King Shenwu... Gu Wang wants to ask, will Master Zongxin come to Daliao?" Yelu Deguang asked: "If he is just catering, it is better to tie him. Just let him stay in the territory of Khitan , even if he does not contribute to Khitan, he cannot be allowed to contribute to the Central Plains."

"Don't worry about this matter. I think Master Zong Xin is not a person who backtracks on what he says. He said he will come to Khitan." Yeluzhen said: "Zong Xin is the only Central Plains person I have seen who does not hate Khitan. In his eyes, Khitan There is no difference between people and people from the Central Plains. It is true that an eminent monk has such a state of mind. But... I am afraid that it is impossible to ask him to make a plan for my Daliao to seize the Central Plains. Zong Xin is compassionate and only wants the world to be peaceful. But he knows that people are not enough, so he can only do his best."

"No wonder... No wonder he told King Shenwu his plan. It really was to quell the war. Otherwise, if he followed this plan, the lonely king's life would be at stake." Yelu Deguang suddenly had an idea, and asked curiously: "Maybe there is something wrong with this matter?" Turning point...People in the Central Plains thought that the lonely king would not dare to invade the south, so the guards must be lax. If the lonely king did the opposite at this time and suddenly sent troops south, wouldn't it be a surprise to them?"

Yeluzhen frowned and said: "I don't think it's feasible...Zong Xin is now in the Central Plains, if he knows that His Majesty is invading south, he may personally lead troops to fight."

"It's just a monk. Even if he has great plans for the world, what can he do if he doesn't have military power in his hands?" Yelu Deguang smiled and said: "If the lonely king takes Cangzhou with lightning speed, the Central Plains will be in my hands. As long as we defeat them one by one, Forgive him, even a monk can do nothing."

Yeluhong said: "Your Majesty, I think King Shenwu is right. Zong Xin is unpredictable. I think it's better to wait for him to come to Daliao before setting the world."

"What the two lovers said is also reasonable...the lonely king must carefully consider this matter. The two lovers have suffered in recent years, and the lonely king must reward them greatly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yelu Deguang didn't know why, but felt that the world was in his hands, and he really wanted to grab it immediately.Now it depends on how the spring wheat is doing, as long as the spring wheat harvest is good, the Khitan national policy will be changed, and it is not a dream to unify the world before life.

"King Shenwu, what happened to the matter that the lonely king asked you to investigate? Have you found it yet?"

Yeluzhen sighed: "I have failed His Majesty's high hopes."

"I don't know if it's dead or alive... I dare not disclose this matter for safety, otherwise it will be useless even if I find it." Yelu Deguang said: "Keep looking, you need to see the person if you are alive, and the corpse if you are dead. Find the culprit. The lonely king will cut him into pieces."

"As ordered."

Just a few months ago, Yelu Beier, the only princess of the Daliao Kingdom, took her personal guards to the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to fight the Grass Valley, but she never came back.None of the guards returned to Khitan alive, and everyone believed that these guards were either killed or captured.

Later, Yeluzhen found the bodies of those guards, traced them and found that these guards were killed by the Zhao Clan.But after they were desperate, the princess fled north in a carriage and wanted to return to Khitan.There was another accident on the way. There was no one in the carriage, and all the guards were killed.

What angered Yeluzhen the most was...he also found the princess's torn clothes.According to what Yeluzhen saw, the princess probably encountered the Han army, and all the guards were killed, and the princess was humiliated, but she died without seeing her body.

If the guess is correct, the princess was brought back to the Central Plains by the Han army and sold into a brothel.However, Yeluzhen went all over the nearby brothels during this time, but did not find Her Royal Highness. The more there was no news, the more worried Yeluzhen was, for fear that the princess would commit suicide on the way.After all, she belongs to the Khitan royal family, how can the princess survive this insult?
However, there were not many traces around the carriage, unlike encountering a large army, but if it was a small army, the princess and the guards would not be in any danger.There wasn't even a trace of the princess' move nearby, unlike being forcibly captured.

Yeluzhen thinks that the princess is still alive, she belongs to the Khitan royal family and she is also a direct disciple of himself, her fate is much better than Yeluhong's, although she is not very old, the skill of Nine Suns Burning Heaven Art is higher than Yeluhong's.The princess is so smart that she shouldn't die easily, but why hasn't anyone been alive for so long?

Yelu Deguang sighed: "My poor Bel, I don't know where she is suffering... As long as she lives, everything is fine. King Shenwu, the secret investigation of this matter must not let anyone know that the princess is captured, otherwise it will be too late to save her from the tiger's mouth." I can’t go back to Khitan.”

"clear."

Yeluzhen knew that this matter had to be investigated secretly, after all, it had something to do with the face of the Khitan royal family.If a prince is captured, at most he will pay a ransom, and he will not be able to hold his head up after returning to Khitan, but at least he can return to Khitan.The princess is different. After all, she is a girl, and one can imagine what will happen after being captured.

If the whole world knew that the princess of the Khitan royal family was captured by the Han people, the princess would be disgraced and the entire royal family would be ashamed.Rather than coming back like this, he might as well die.

"King Shenwu, there is one more thing for you to do."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Yelu Deguang said: "It is said that the Red Emperor will be the king of the world. On August [-]th, all heroes will gather on Mount Tai to fight for the Red Emperor. If there is a chance to win the Red Emperor. With the skill of the Shenwu King, you don't need to stand out, as long as you sneak in secretly, you may be able to win in one fell swoop." Success, as long as you want to go to the world, no one can stop you."

Yeluzhen said: "That's not necessarily the case... Bu Xiangyang, the leader of the Central Plains martial arts alliance, can stop me. The only nemesis of the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Jue practiced by me is Bu Xiangyang. The yang energy is excellent, and the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Jue cannot hurt him at all. Unless I learn other martial arts to restrain Bu Xiangyang, I will not be his opponent."

"What martial arts did Bu Xiangyang learn?"

"Sifang Tathagata's miraculous skill, I have learned a few tricks before, and it is really very powerful."

Yelu Deguang also knew Bu Xiangyang's name, it is indeed understandable that he is number one in the world.As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Bu Xiangyang has no reason not to go to Mount Tai to attend the meeting, and King Shenwu can only act secretly.

Yelu Deguang said: "There are many masters in the Central Plains, and Bu Xiangyang is only one of them. Naturally, King Shenwu can't force him to fight alone. As long as he takes a secret action, he may be able to capture Chidi. I need to worry about this matter, King Shenwu, go to the Central Plains By the way, inquire about Bel's whereabouts, as well as the method to decipher the five-shaped formation."

"The minister leads the order."

"Yeluhong, you don't have to go with me. Stay in the palace to accompany the lonely king. The lonely king wants to know the culture of the Central Plains and how to manage the land. After planting grain, the land must be barren. It is better to treat this kind of thing first." Yelu Deguang never used to I haven't cared about the issue of land management, but with the development of farming, the land will gradually become barren in the future.Don't let the land be barren before you go to governance, so you have to be prepared first.

Before the first wave of spring wheat was harvested, the management of the land had already been thought of. Although the two brothers Yeluzhen and Yeluhong had thought about it a long time ago, Yelu Deguang was the king of Khitan, so such trivial matters did not need to be done by himself.

The two brothers Yeluzhen and Yeluhong admired him very much, the Khitan emperor was indeed a wise master.
