If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"
<..."not see!"
Liu Zhaoren, remembering his 10,000 strings of cash, naturally wouldn't give up trying to persuade Liu Yu.
"Master, Shi Erlang says that the Shi family has prepared a small gift of 500,000 strings of cash to propose marriage to you."
Liu Yu was slightly taken aback, but then immediately understood.
He thought to himself: The Shi family truly deserves to be called a family that has stood firm in Liaodong for a hundred years. Not only is their family wealth abundant, but most importantly, they are willing to lend a hand at crucial moments.
Five hundred thousand strings of cash!
In any case, Liu Yu could not refuse.
Liu Yu turned around and went to see Shi Feng first. He happily accepted the generous gift from the Shi family. At the same time, he expressed his optimism about the marriage between the two families and looked forward to the future of their joint efforts.
The hasty marriage proposal, which took place overnight, quickly came to an end. Both sides achieved their goals and then went about their own business.
Wanyan Zongwang's death caused another dramatic change in the situation.
Thus, the most powerful person in the capital city was transformed into Wanyan Chamu.
The person everyone was trying to curry favor with was Liu Yu.
This man, who surrendered from the Song Dynasty ten years ago and used to send lavish gifts to various powerful figures every year, has now become a veritable powerful minister.
At least all the Han Chinese families lined up to give him gifts, hoping only to survive.
A few days later, Wanyan Chamu did not actually harm the Han people in the capital.
This is all thanks to Liu Yu's words: "Your Majesty's wealth comes from Han, and you cannot kill people without permission, for to kill them would be like cutting off your wealth."
It must be admitted that the saying "where you sit determines where you think" is an eternal truth.
Different positions can have a significant impact on ideas.
For example, Wanyan Chamu used to want to kill all the Han people in the capital, but now that he has become the actual supreme ruler, he has realized that he cannot do so.
In that case, he would face a serious financial crisis.
This is why he changed his mind.
However, the idea that the dog emperor was just bluffing was deeply ingrained in his mind.
After taking office, his first act was to mobilize the remaining troops in the capital, and by piecing together troops from various sources, he managed to gather 150,000 men.
So, on a bright, sunny day when the snow had melted, despite the objections of his entire army, and after looking at the head of the twentieth officer who opposed the battle, he resolutely led his 150,000-strong army toward Shenzhou.
