Chapter 136 Yanjing Changes
The letter brought by Zhao Liangsi was received by Deng Su, handed over to Yang Yingqi's staff for backup, and then landed on the western boundary of Pingzhou by sea clipper, took a secret trade route discovered by Yanyun merchants, avoided the southern military town where the Liao people were strictly checked, crossed Xincang and Xianghe, and entered the Great Liao Nanjing Dao Xijin Mansion.
At that time, Yelu Chun died of illness, and the already crumbling Northern Liao regime was even more panicked, and there were Li Chuwen and others in the center of the regime who conspired against him, and in the local area, Zhang Juezhi and his ilk secretly expanded their power to get a glimpse of the situation.
After Zhao Guan got the letter, he secretly met with Li Chuwen and showed Tong Guan's handwriting, Li Chuwen saw that he had no doubts, and said with great joy: "The Holy Son of Heaven is blessed with Qitian, this time the soldiers and horses have not moved, and Yeluchun's captives have returned to the west." Lord Zhao can rest assured, although the last time he entered the army, Wang Shi was blocked by Yelu Dashi, Xiao Gan and other people who rebelled and did not know the mandate of heaven, but this time he had a plan, and he must tell Wang Shi to be bloodless and pacify Yanjing. β
Zhao Guan was a little stunned at first, but after a while, he understood: Li Chuwen was already completely claiming to be a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty when he spoke like this, so even the newly dead Northern Liao Emperor Yeluchun was reprimanded as a border captive, and the Holy Son of Heaven Yunyun naturally referred to the Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji. Zhao Guan turned his head a few times before he could barely figure out what Li Chuwen meant, and asked, "Li Xiang, according to our seven generals... Well, there is also the meaning of Tong Taishi, which is to hope that when Wang Shi and the Khitan soldiers and horses are in contact, Li Xiang will find a way to find out Yelu Dashi's military strategy, so that Liu Dashuai can know himself and his opponent. If Wang Shi hits Yanjing, he will ask Li Xiang to open the city to greet him. But listening to what Li Xiang meant just now, could it be that he had other plans? β
Li Chuwen smiled: "Not bad. During this time, Benxiang did not promise Lord Zhao anything, not deliberately prevaricating and delaying, but while waiting for the response of Master Tong, he secretly made arrangements. Please also ask Master Zhao to secretly reach Master Tong: Yanjing is already in Li's hands. Please ask the king to go north as soon as possible and hand over the defense. β
Zhao Guan was surprised, happy and suspicious, and asked: "Li Xiang, although Zhao Guan knows that Li Xiang's plot must be confidential, but this matter is not trivial, please tell me one or two, otherwise how can Zhao win the trust of the Taishi?" β
Li Chuwen said with a smile: "Now the palace guards have secretly surrendered to me, and the four generals are also under my control, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are the only ones who look forward to me." With just one order, Concubine Xiao (Yeluchun's wife, Empress Dowager Xiao) became a prisoner. Since Yanjing is under my control, it is just a matter of time to catch Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan. When the Tong Taishi settles in Xijin Mansion, Pingzhou and Juyongguan can be passed on! β
Zhao Guan was shocked: "Now the amazing strategy, if you can succeed, it is indeed a miracle." It's just that the stakes are high, and Li Xiang is asked to be cautious. β
Li Chuwen said with a smile: "After Ye Luchun's death, everyone in Yanjing was in danger. In addition to attaching to the Great Song Dynasty, where is there any other way out? Yanjing was originally a Han land, and Han people were all over the government and the opposition. The reason why he resisted Wang Shi last time was because he was afraid of Yeluchun and others, and secondly, most of Shilin did not know the decree of the imperial court's holy oracle. It's a different story today. As he spoke, he took out two more letters and said: "A letter from Gao Feng, the governor of Yizhou, coincides with me. Guo Yaoshi, the leader of the Changsheng Army, also wrote to inquire, hoping to walk for the sake of his true appearance. From this, it can be seen that the annexation of the Great Song Dynasty has been the consensus of the military and the people in Yanjing. Lord Zhao doesn't need to worry, but he can urge the Tong Taishi to enter the army as soon as possible. β
After Zhao Guan left, Li Chuwen informed his son's cronies that he was ready to make a move, and his son Li Zheng said: "Daddy, will it be safer to wait for the arrival of the Southern Dynasty army before making a move?" β
Li Chuwen sneered: "What do you know! If we wait for the Tong Guan soldiers to come to the city and then open the city and surrender, then I will only be the head of a group of ministers, what credit can I have? But now as long as we rob the Xiao family, and then earn Yelu Dashi, Xiao Gan and others to enter the city to punish them, then the six states and eleven counties will be in the hands of our others, and it will be difficult for him to annihilate our credit! β
Not to mention that Li Chuwen stepped up his planning, but said that Zhao Guan listened to what Li Chuwen said at that time, and he didn't see anything wrong for a while, but he just remembered what he heard, and wrote three password pigeon books to Yang Yingqi after he went back, informing Li Chuwen of the conspiracy.
The pigeon book flew south, and one of them was eaten by a wild eagle; One was shot down by the Liao army when it was low sweeping, but fortunately, the Liao army could not understand the twisted words on the pigeon book, so they did not understand the mechanism; Only the last one arrived safely. The staff of the Feixin Department handed over the pigeon book, and the cryptographer carefully translated it and presented it to Yang Yingqi's staff in charge of important matters on the North Road. The staff saw that it was a top secret, so they didn't dare to open it, and presented it directly to Yang Yingqi. Yang Yingqi was looking at the "List of Officials in the Eleven Counties of Yanjing Six Prefectures" that he had obtained from Li Chuwen before, took the pigeon book and glanced at it, only looked at two lines and shouted, both left and right were taken aback, and hurriedly asked what was the matter. Yang Yingqi finished reading the pigeon book with his breath and asked loudly, "Did Zhao Liangsi go back?" β
Left and right: "I went back yesterday." β
Yang Yingqi asked again: "What about Deng Su?" Did you follow? β
Left and right: "Lord Deng did not set off with Zhao Liangsi, he was going to leave today, but I don't know if he went." β
Yang Yingqi shouted: "Go!" Get him. Even if you've already set off, chase me back! β
A staff member who was good at riding went, and Yang Yingqi said again: "Pen and ink!" Ink! He wrote a letter, and ordered the coder to quickly translate it into a pigeon book, and sent it five times in a row. Before the letter was sent, Deng Su rushed over and asked what was going on.
Yang Yingqi retreated left and right, took the pigeon book and showed it to Deng Su, Deng Su exclaimed after reading it: "This Li Chuwen is so bold!" β
Yang Yingqi sneered: "This is not bold, this is a struggle for credit!" β
Deng Su said: "I think this matter is a bit mysterious, Seventh General, what do you think?" β
"Of course it's a sure defeat!" Yang Yingqi said: "Since ancient times, how could a mutiny with the intention of treason be initiated by a civilian official!" He Li Chuwen said that he is the head of the civil officials, but in this turbulent place, where Hu and Han coexist, he said that he is just a scholar, how can he do this? I have already sent a letter to Zhao Guan asking him to try his best to dissuade him, hoping that it will be in time. β
Deng Su was also very worried, if he and Zhao Guan changed places, they would definitely persuade Li Chuwen to be cautious, but at this time, he was a hundred miles away, and he could only hope that the situation would not develop in a bad direction, and comforted Yang Yingqi and said: "Seventh General, you don't have to worry too much. The eunuchs of the Han and Tang dynasties were not very strong, but because they controlled the palace guards, they could often hijack the emperor. If Li Chuwen did succeed in buying off the generals of the Liao Palace, the success or failure was not yet known. β
Yang Yingqi slapped the table and said, "Deng Zhihong, why are you so confused!" The reason why the eunuchs of the Han and Tang dynasties were able to hijack the emperor was because the royal authority was very heavy at that time, and the ministers did not dare to act rashly; Second, the people who were kidnapped were either orphans and widows, or weak and unscrupulous kings. Now not to mention that this Concubine Xiao may not be weak, even if the palace is really controlled by Li Chuwen, the generals of the Khitan and Xi clans will not obediently listen to him Li Chuwen's mercy! Don't forget that the main son of Da Liao is Yelu Yanxi, Yelu Chun is already a usurper, not to mention the widow he left behind? Yelu Dashi, will they not dare to move Li Chuwen for this? Speaking of this, he sighed: "Zhao Guan is a small weapon after all, and he is qualified to be a spy and secret envoy, but when he encounters such a major event, he fails to see the overall situation." β
Deng Su felt that Yang Yingqi was demanding of Zhao Guan, after all, Zhao Guan's identity was just a secret envoy, and it was beyond his ability or authority to ask him to stop this matter without the instructions of the center. He immediately said, "Do you want me to go to Yanjing immediately?" β
Yang Yingqi said: "No." You've been too dangerous now. I don't want to get caught up with you! β
Deng Su was quite moved in his heart and said, "General Xie Qi cares. But if you are on business, how dare you spare your life? β
Yang Yingqi shook his head and said, "You don't hesitate, I regret it!" The greatest wealth of our Hanbu is people. If the land city is not taken this time, we can find another way, and if the talent is gone, we can't be reborn - not to mention that the place we want to take this time is not in our own pocket! β
Deng Su still wanted to ask Ying, Yang Yingqi waved his hand and said: "I have already informed Zhao Guan to let him stop it with all his might, if he can't stop it or it's too late, I'm afraid it will be the same if you go." Let's plan for the next step. β
"What's next?"
Yang Yingqi said: "It's the remedy for Li Chuwen in case he loses!" Well, there is a second important information in the pigeon book that can be used this time, that is, Yizhou Gao Feng has the heart to vote for Song. You immediately go south to contact Tong Guan, no matter whether Li Chuwen falls or not, find a way to persuade this Gao Feng to return to the Great Song Dynasty! β
Deng Su groaned: "Descending a Yizhou may not be able to shake the overall situation. β
Yang Yingqi said: "With the current situation, it is easy to trigger a chain reaction when the border land is subordinated!" If Yizhou falls, Zhuozhou, which is adjacent to him, will also be affected! The Zhuozhou garrison was the victorious army led by Guo Yaoshi, which was the army of the Han people in Liaodi. If Guo Yaoshi can be recruited, the Han people in the entire Yan land will be moved, and the Khitan people will deepen their suspicion of the Han people under their command, and the Khitan, Xi and Liaodi Han people will be suspicious of each other, and before the battle is fought, the entire Northern Liao will fall apart first. β
