But public is public, and private is private.
This did not affect Yelu Junda's respect for Ning Que.
Over the years, the Liao Kingdom has endured humiliation and endured heavy burdens.
From his generation on, the clarion call for a counterattack finally began. For decades, the Liao Empire remained undefeated. After conquering the Western Xia, the Liao Empire became the dominant power on the grasslands. Since the founding of Dragon City, no one had ever been able to break into it.
Ning Que only led 3,000 elite troops, but he was able to penetrate deep into the grassland, break through Longcheng, and capture all of their high-level officials, which is enough to prove his ability.
One can't help but say that a good father will have a good son!
In addition, the Liao people are similar to the Xiliang people.
They take pride in dying in battle.
What is admired is the military general who would rather die than surrender.
For example, the old King Ning was a nightmare to the people of Xiliang.
After he died in battle in Hulu Valley, no one whipped his corpse.
Instead, he returned all the corpses to Dafeng.
This is respect and has nothing to do with disputes between the two countries.
"Are they okay here?"
"No problem."
"Yes." Ning Que raised his hand and had fine wine and food brought over. He smiled and said, "I've been in a coma due to my injuries since returning to Yanmen Pass. I've only recovered completely in the past two days. Plus, I have to fight against Shuofang, so I've been very busy. I hope Lord Yelu won't mind. I heard from my uncle that you wanted to see me?"
"yes."
Yelu Junda did not hide it either.
Looking at Ning Que, he sighed, "If I remember correctly, this should be King Ning's first time leading an army. Yet, you were able to treat my grasslands as if they were nothing, and were able to locate Dragon City with incredible accuracy. I want to know how you did it?"
"First, memorize the entire grassland map. This requires sufficient intelligence to help with the drawing. Furthermore, you need local guides to verify directions." Ning Que smiled. "I don't agree with some of your Liao practices. You treat the lower classes so harshly. You know, a wise bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve. I only need to make a few promises, and I'll have plenty of Liao slaves working for me. How difficult is it to find Dragon City?"
“…”
Yelu Junda fell silent immediately.
So it's all the guides' fault?!
