Chapter 325 Coronation

"Da Shilin Ya." Zhao Jiu thought for a moment and decided to verify his guess. "How I distribute the troops depends on what Da Shilin Ya thinks. East or west, you can tell me first. As the emperor, although it is impossible to satisfy all the families, I will do my best and will not embarrass my allies."

Yelu Dashi laughed again when he heard this, but then he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, whether it is the East or the West, they were all won by the lives of Khitan warriors! How can Dashi just give up?"

Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he looked around the table again, and finally he faced him solemnly: "Dashi Lin Ya, there is no such thing as your family taking advantage of everything! The current situation is that the east and the west are thousands of miles apart, and you can't take everything. If you take the east, I will take the west to reward myself; if you keep the west, I will take the east to defend myself..."

Yelu Dashi smiled again and said, "If that's the case, Your Majesty, why bother pretending? Just assign them directly."

Zhao Jiu looked at the other party for a moment, then nodded and said, "I gave Dashilinya the opportunity to choose, but Dashilinya was greedy and gave up the option. Then I can only make a small distribution for you... Hetao is yours, because Hetao was obtained by the hard work of the Khitan main force in Wulahai City; the three states of Hedong and the three states of Hewai all belong to Song, because these six states were obtained by the power of Song Dynasty... What do you think, Dashilinya?"

There was a moment of tension during the banquet.

Yelu Dashi paused for a moment and shook his head: "Your Majesty is too harsh!"

"For the sake of the Hundred Years' Alliance between our two countries, the Tiande Army, Yunnei Prefecture and Khitan." Zhao Jiu immediately changed his words. "But I have to exchange the Zhuoluo City (the northern half of Lanzhou) that you occupied this time... This is the final condition. If you don't accept it, you will lose it. Please take care of yourself."

Yelu Dashi took a deep breath and looked troubled: "Your Majesty! With this distribution, it will be difficult for Dashi to explain to the Khitan warriors under his command!"

"North of Hengshan, there are 150,000 Khitan and Xi tribes, as well as the Khitan tribes in the three states outside the Yellow River. I will send them all to you. The three states outside the Yellow River and Dongsheng state will be the exchange of these people." Zhao Jiu answered with a blank expression. "If anyone in the Dashilinya tribe is dissatisfied, let him come to see me!" At this point, seeing that the other party wanted to say more, Zhao Jiu interrupted him again and made an ultimatum. "At this point, if you want to make a fuss again, it will not be this kind of talk. The Dashilinya tribe is the fate of the tribe, and it should not be a personal situation to make enemies with a big country."

Yelu Dashi panted for a while, then suddenly stood up and left the table, as if he was leaving in a huff.

Seeing this, Gaochang Uighur King Bilege instinctively wanted to stand up and follow him, but seeing that Yelu Dashi was walking alone and surrounded by Song soldiers, the Uighur King just moved a little in his seat and stayed where he was obediently.

"Dashilinya, don't forget to come for the alliance meeting at noon!" Zhao Jiu didn't seem to care. He just reminded him from a distance, then turned around, held the cup, and drank with everyone.

Speaking of which, when facing the two Mongol leaders next, Zhao Jiu was not as nervous as when he faced Yelu Dashi, even though he suddenly learned a few days ago that the full name of Kublai Khan among the two Mongols was actually Kublai Borjigin.

You know, if the name Menggu was enough to make Emperor Zhao vaguely pay attention to these people, then the four words Borjigin completely lifted the veil of history and made Zhao Jiu completely understand who these people in front of him were.

Our Mongolian compatriots!

After the Jurchens, they swept across almost the entire Eurasian continent, of course including their Mongolian compatriots who later divided China into the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty!

However, although he was extremely vigilant and concerned in his heart, Zhao Jiu had nothing to say or do at this time... The reason was very simple. At this time, the Mongols were helpers of the Song Dynasty, not enemies.

The more important point is that he is unable to reach the grassland at this time!

In addition, after witnessing the power of the Song army, these Mongols may have had the experience of being controlled by the Khitans and Jurchens in turn, so they actually had very few demands this time.

According to the private communications in the previous few days, apart from the expected and inevitable common topics such as trade and division of spoils, the two Mongol leaders each had only one independent demand.

The great leader of the Kerait tribe, Huerzahusi, hoped that the Song Dynasty could make the decision and ensure that the Khitans handed over the promised Khatun City... Zhao Jiu was happy to accept this, not only because this request could further weaken the Khitans and ensure the leading role of the Song Dynasty in the alliance, but more importantly, the leader of the Kerait tribe was not named Borjigin.

As for Khabul, the Khan elected by the Eastern Mongols, after witnessing the might of the Song Dynasty and learning about Zhao Jiu's identity, he only put forward one condition. He hoped that Emperor Zhao would officially enthrone him as the King of Mongolia.

Zhao Jiu was skeptical about this for a while, because he didn't know whether this kind of enthronement would accelerate the unification of Mongolia, but he soon thought of a countermeasure and chose to make a private promise early on.

And this is the reason why the two Mongolian leaders have been cooperating with each other and not saying anything extra today.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Jiu demonstrated stronger political commitment, while Yelu Dashi was clearly inferior to the Zhao Song emperor. The two Mongolian leaders, who were still in a tribal state, had simpler minds.

What's more, it is not the Song people but the Jurchens who are currently suppressing Eastern Mongolia militarily. There is no conflict of interest between the two sides, only common interests.

In other words, as long as the 200,000 households of the Jurchens are still there, this alliance between the three parties and the four families will not cause any real trouble.

Even if they are Khitans, they have to come back honestly.
