920 Marriage
"Pass the order, this king agrees to Yelu Abaoji's suggestion!" Subconsciously grasping the letter that Zhang Yi ordered to send back quickly, Li Xiang pondered for a while before slowly opening his mouth.

"My lord, my subordinates will go and inform Mr. Zhang Yi immediately!" A middle-aged man dressed as a civil servant said immediately.

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord!" Liu Bowen, Wei Qing, Guo Jia and others got up and congratulated.

Although Wei Qing was promoted to deputy governor of Hezhou at this time, he did not take up the post for the time being.The war is over, Wei Qing and Yang Lihua's marriage should also be put on the agenda.

Although the situation in the north is complicated, Li Xiang is also ready to intervene, but he has no plans to play in person.Therefore, there is no need for Wei Qing to rush to take office.

What's more, even if Li Xiang wanted to play in person, he doesn't have the ability now.If you want to use troops in the north, you must mobilize a large number of cavalry, and the consumption of cavalry is several times that of infantry.It's very simple, if there is no food, Li Xiang can't do anything now.

Besides, Wei Qing is only a deputy governor, even if he is not there, there is Meng Tian as the governor, Hezhou will not have any problems, Wei Qing can just take advantage of this time to get married.

As for the congratulations that Wei Qing and the others said, it refers to the content of the negotiation between Yelu Abaoji and Zhang Yi this time.

Originally, Yelu Abaoji wanted to test Zhang Yi first, find out the real purpose and bottom line of the other party, and then talk about asking for help.

It's just that the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes, and Yelu Abaoji wanted to wait, but the changes in the battle situation didn't make him wait, and the situation in Xi Xianbei didn't let him wait either.Facing Temujin, Western Xianbei lost another game, and General Yelu Dezhong died on the spot.

There is no way, the situation is like this, Yelu Abaoji can only take the initiative to talk to Zhang Yi.Even if the Jin army had any bad intentions, the crisis on Temujin's side was even greater.

In the conflict between the princes of the Central Plains, at least both sides are Han Chinese.But on the grassland, there is a conflict between Xianbei, Mongols, and Manchus.Although they are all prairie people, they are different ethnic groups. In the eyes of each other, they are not much different from the hostile prairie people and the Han people in the Central Plains.

Therefore, if they join hands with the Han people in the Central Plains to survive this genocide crisis, Xixianbei will only applaud, and will not have any psychological burden of dealing with the fellow grassland people.

It's just that Yelu Abaoji and Zhang Yi are not easy-going lamps, and they both want to get more benefits.The Jin army will not really send troops here, it will only reduce some of the pressure on Yelu Abaoji by overwhelming the army.

However, even so, it can even be said that the behavior of the empty-handed white wolf still requires Yelu Abaoji to pay a lot of cattle and sheep.Yelu Abaoji would naturally not agree to such a strict condition.Even, if it wasn't really inappropriate to provoke a powerful enemy all the way at this moment, Yelu Abaoji would have thought of killing Zhang Yi.

Yelu Abaoji's request was that the Jin army must send troops, so that Yelu Abaoji was willing to pay enough cattle and sheep.

However, Zhang Yi could not agree to Yelu Abaoji's request. The next stage of the Jin army was mainly to rest and recuperate, and it was impossible to make a big splash for a Western Xianbei.

In this way, the two sides actually had a tendency to talk about collapse.However, Yelu Abaoji and Zhang Yi are not ordinary people, even if the conversation is about to collapse, they still have a smiling attitude.

In the end, the two parties entangled each other for several days, and Yelu Abaoji came up with a new plan again, which was marriage.Yelu Abaoji is willing to marry his righteous daughter Xiao Yanyan to Jin Wang Li Xiang as an equal wife, while Jin Jun and Xi Xianbei will forever be good friends of Qin and Jin.

Of course, the so-called marriage is just a cover, and the highlight is the hidden content behind the marriage.Since the two parties are already married, the Jin army must take out some swords, guns and armor to give Xi Xianbei as a dowry, and Yelu Abaoji must also take out enough cattle and sheep as a dowry!

The grassland is stronger than the Central Plains in cavalry, but the Central Plains has more advantages in all aspects than the Central Plains, and this equipment is one of them.Moreover, all people in the grassland are soldiers. When necessary, even the old and weak, women and children can be taken to the battlefield. As long as there are enough equipment, the battle will still be fought.

Moreover, Yelu Abaoji probably guessed that the Jin army after the war might not have enough defense, and it might be very difficult to send troops on a large scale again.Otherwise, Zhang Yi would not be able to bite to death on this point, and would not regress at all.

Yelu Abaoji had other intentions in choosing the marriage between the two parties.It is also the army stationed on the border, but Temujin's attitude towards this will be different whether the two parties are married or not.

If there is no marriage between the two parties, Temujin would guess that the Jin army only has a three-point chance of making a real move, and the remaining seven points may be just a bluff.

But if the two parties are married, Temujin may think that the Jin army has a five-point possibility of real action.In this way, more of Temujin's energy will be diverted there, and the pressure on Xi Xianbei will also be truly reduced.

Of course, Li Xiang has a lot of senior counselors, so naturally these things cannot be analyzed.But, would Li Xiang care?

He has only two goals this time. One is to delay Temujin's annexation of Western Xianbei and try his best to prevent the reunification of the grassland.The second is to obtain a large number of cattle and sheep for subsequent recuperation, especially cattle that can be used for agricultural production.

After taking the land of Hetao, Li Xiang got not only a large number of war horses, but also a large number of cattle and sheep.But at that time, to transform the grassland originally used by the Huns into Li Xiang's current granary, a lot of cattle and sheep were needed.Moreover, those cattle and sheep were also a favorable means to attract refugees to move to Hetao.

After that, Bingzhou and Sizhou will also develop.Therefore, after taking the land of Hetao, the batch of cattle and sheep obtained has almost been consumed.

Now, the land of Yongliang has been newly obtained.Moreover, the land in Guanzhong is even more fertile. If it is well developed, it can be developed into another granary.

After all, the foundation of Qin State was Guanzhong.It's just that it has been dilapidated since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty.Although Yang Jian recovered greatly after taking control of this territory, after a great battle, he returned it to its original shape.

Therefore, for the resumption of production in Yongliang and Liangzhou, Li Xiang needed to find a large number of cattle sources.

But with this marriage, since Li Xiang's two goals have been achieved, he won't care too much about the others.Moreover, I heard that Xiao Yanyan was known as the pearl of the prairie, Yelu Abaoji was willing to give him a beautiful wife, Li Xiang naturally would not refuse.
