The Mongolian Department was once a subordinate of the Liao Kingdom, and the Mongolian nobles would also hold official positions in the Liao Kingdom.Therefore, Ximenqing said that he had made friends with a few Mongolian nobles on the border of Song and Liao, and Wanyan Aguda did not doubt that he had them, and believed Ximenqing's words.
What Wanyan Aguda was worried about was that the various departments of the Wugu Dilie Commanding Army Division were now inseparable from the Liao Kingdom, and their relationship was delicate.Ximenqing went north to the grasslands to search for the Mongolian tribe. There were many variables on the way. Is it too risky?
My daughter Wanyan Wulu has only been married to this Ximen Qing for a few days, and Ximen Qing cannot be allowed to lose her life for nothing!
Chapter 763 The Courageous Ximen Qing
"My son-in-law, even though you have an old friendship with the nobles of the Mongolian tribe, my Jurchen once fought with the Mongolian tribe, and we both have deep blood feuds. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to convince each other!"
Wanyan Aguda frowned and said to Ximen Qing.
"Father, at this moment, at that moment!
At the beginning, the Mongolian Ministry was controlled by the Khitans and had to be forced to participate in the war against the Jin Kingdom.As far as my son-in-law knew, they were not willing to be enemies with the mighty Kingdom of Jin.
Now that the Liao Kingdom has lost Shangjing Linhuang Mansion and Zhongjing Dading Mansion one after another, its control over the ministries of the northern grasslands is already very weak.
During the Battle of Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, the Mongolian army of the Wugu Dilie Commanding Army Division did not participate in the battle to support the Khitans, and they did not actively respond to Xiao Yixue this time, which shows that the Mongolian army is on the sidelines and temporarily maintained neutral.
The person my son-in-law makes friends with is a trusted person next to the minister of the Mongolian Ministry, who can influence the decision-making of the Mongolian Ministry.
This time my son-in-law goes north, as long as he finds the Mongolian tribe, he will be able to convince his father that the Mongolian tribe will break with the Liao Kingdom and fall into the arms of our Jin Kingdom.
If the most powerful Mongolian department is persuaded, the other departments of the Wugu Dilie Commanding Army Division will also be destroyed from the inside, and it will not be difficult for them to change their doors. "
Ximen Qing talked eloquently, appearing to be full of confidence.
Wanyan Agu inquired about it, and after pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "Ximen Qing, as you said, this matter may have a chance of success.
However, it is a long way for me, Dajin, to go to Mongolia. It is very likely that I will be attacked by grassland tribes close to Liao on the way, and I need to take a lot of risks.
Ximen Qing, are you really willing to take the risk and go to Mongolia as an envoy? "
Ximen Qing replied with a smile: "Father, Brother Shenguo, they are all fighting bloody battles on the front line, never avoiding the sword. Compared with them, what kind of risk is my son-in-law's trip?"
After crossing the Jinshan Mountain, the sky and the earth are vast, let me gallop, even if there is an unruly person, it is difficult to stop my son-in-law's footsteps.
With a bow and two knives in his hand, the son-in-law is enough to traverse the prairie!
For the sake of the father's foundation, what is it for the son-in-law to take these small risks? "
Ximen Qing's heroic feelings are beyond words, which greatly appreciates Wanyan Aguda.
Seeing that Ximen Qing was determined, Wanyan Aguda also dispelled some worries in his heart, and agreed that Ximen Qing would secretly go north to contact and negotiate with the Mongolian Ministry.
Wanyan Aguda told Ximen Qing that if this happened, it would greatly weaken the Khitan people's combat power, and the credit would be as great as capturing the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing.After Ximenqing returns, there will be many rewards.
In order to buy off nobles from various tribes in the grassland, Wanyan Aguda gave Ximen Qing several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry as gifts.
Although Wanyan Aguda, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, lived a frugal life and lived in an ordinary wooden house, that did not mean that the Kingdom of Jin did not have huge wealth.
It's just that many cities in the Liao Kingdom were captured, and the Jin Kingdom seized many of them.
It's just that these gold and silver treasures have all entered the treasury of the Dajin Kingdom, and Wanyan Aguda did not keep them for himself.
This time, Ximen Qing went north to contact the ministries of the grassland for state affairs, and the required funds should of course come from the state treasury.
Giving a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry is nothing to worry about Wanyan Aguda.
Ximen Qing was delighted in his heart, these treasures fell into his hands, how could there be any reason to take them all out?
For the ministers of other ministries, it is almost enough to send out three or five pieces.
As for the leader of the Mongolian tribe, Bor Jijin? Tun Bi Nai and his wife, who are Ximenqing's father-in-law and mother-in-law, you can give some more as a dowry gift to marry Bor Jijin? Alan!
The remaining few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were naturally accepted by the official Ximen Qing himself.
This time going north, Ximen Qing's idea was to use his face to convince the grassland ministries.
Could it be that the skin of my senior official, Ximen Qing, is not worth these boxes of gold, silver and jewels?
As for after the matter is completed, it is another matter to ask for Da'an Town, Jian'an County, Huosuguan Road, as his territory.
……
After Ximen Qing finished his discussion with the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin Wanyan Aguda in Huining City, he made some adjustments before leading the team on the northbound road.
After crossing the Songwa River and arriving in Taizhou City, Luhuo, the governor of Taizhou, had received the order from Emperor Wanyan Aguda, and warmly entertained Ximen Qing and his party.
After sending Ximen Qing out of the city the next day, Wanyan Po Luhuo asked his generals to escort Ximen Qing and the others to the north with a thousand soldiers led by Muke Ali Tuhuan.
In these lands newly occupied by the Jin army, people loyal to the Liao State rebelled from time to time, or rioters and thieves looted everywhere.
So Wanyan Po Luhuo sent troops to escort Ximen Qing and his party to avoid accidents in their jurisdiction.
There are two routes from Taizhou to the Mongolian Department by the Onan River.
One is to go upstream along the Talu River, cross the Jinshan Mountains from the valley in the south, and after crossing the Jinshan Mountain, go down the Hela River Valley to reach the ancient city of Jumu and Jingbian City by the edge of Kaolao, and then go northwest to the Onon River. Mongolian Ministry.
Jinshan is the Greater Khingan Mountains of later generations. It is the watershed and boundary between the Mongolian Plateau in the northwest and the Songnen Plain in the southeast.
栲栳泺 is the Hulun Lake of later generations, and there is a smaller lake, Bell Lake, not far from it in the upper reaches of the Hela River.
The later famous Hulun Buir Grassland is beside these two lakes, so it got its name from these two lakes.
The surrounding area of Castanopsis is rich in water and grass, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep. It has become the favorite prairie of nomadic peoples such as Wugu, Dilie and Mongolia.
And Jumu Ancient City and Jingbian City are the Manzhouli City of later generations.
This route needs to cross the mountains and valleys of the Jinshan Mountains. The road is rugged and quite difficult.
Another route from Taizhou to Mongolia is to cross the Hun River westward to Ningzhou, and then from Ningzhou to the northwest to cross Tuer Mountain, which is the remnant of Jinshan Mountain, to Dayanluo.
Going north from Dayanluo, you can reach the Onan River and find the Mongolian Ministry.
The terrain of this route is flat, except for climbing over the low Rabbit Mountain, the others are grasslands and plains, suitable for riding on horseback.
However, the second route also has a disadvantage, that is, the Dayanluo area is the territory of the Heiche Shiwei Department.
Compared with the Mongolian Ministry, the Shiwei tribe of Heichezi was closer to the Khitan people of the Liao Kingdom.
Under the leadership of Xiao Yixue, they fought several bloody battles with the Jin Army in Ningzhou and Linhuang Mansion.
Although this time because of the heavy losses, the Wei Department of the black chariot did not send troops to follow Xiao Yixue south, but the hatred between their tribe and the Jurchens is probably hidden in their hearts, and it will be difficult to dispel it for a while.
If you walk Dayanluo, you may be retaliated by the black car Shiwei Department.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Ximen Qing still chose a safer route, taking the difficult and dangerous road to cross Jinshan.
