Chapter 120 Migration Determines Rise and Fall
The kingdom will prosper, if there is divine help; The country is about to die, and there are many absurd things. At this time, the Great Liao was already crumbling, but the nobles in the country did not take saving the survival as the first consideration, but instead caused a split for their own selfish desires in front of them: Ye Luchun, the king of Qin and Jin and the marshal of the Great Liao Capital who stayed in Yanjing, was proclaimed emperor under the support of Li Chuwen, the minister Yelu Dashi, the heavy general Xiao Gan, and the leader of the resentful army, Guo Yaoshi.
At that time, the Jin army pressed the border and cut off the connection between the Liao lord and Yanyun Road, and the people of Nanjing Road were panicked, and it was understandable that the ministers and generals stationed in Yanjing wanted to support a leader. Therefore, when Li Chuwen asked Zhang Lin, the prime minister of Nanfu who stayed in Yanjing, Zhang Lin persuaded Li Chuwen and others to only support Yeluchun as the regent, not the emperor. However, Li Chuwen put forward such a suggestion not only because of his own selfish thoughts, but also because of Ye Luchun's ambition behind him, so his attitude was extremely tough. In the end, he moved out the Mandate of Heaven or something, and the prime minister of Nanfu was not a fool, and immediately knew that Ye Luchun wanted to be the emperor completely out of selfishness.
Zhang Lin and the others were not hard enough to resist, so they had to second, and a group of civil officials such as Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen, Cao Yongyi, and Kang Gongbi led the army of Fan and Han Baiguan and Yanjing to Yeluchun's mansion. Then Li Chuwen's son Li Zheng held a dragon robe to help Yeluchun put it on, followed the civil and military officials to kneel on the ground, and the mountain shouted long live.
At this scene, Ye Luchun couldn't help but be "shocked", asked the reason, and inevitably pushed back, but in the end, of course, he couldn't push it, and reluctantly sat on the dragon chair. The ministers were called Emperor Tianxi, changed the Yuan Jianfu, and took his wife Xiao as the concubine. Then Yelu Chun gave a group of knowledgeable civil and military officials to the knight, Jin Li Chuwen as the captain, Zhang Lin as the teacher, and Yelu Dashi as the general army leader, Xiao Gan as the commander, changed the resentment army to the victorious army, and surrendered to the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi as the king of Xiangyin.
The regime established by Yeluchun is known as the Northern Liao. The establishment of the Northern Liao regime completely divided the Khitan into two parts: in the south were the remnants of Yan, Yun, Zhongjing, and Western Liao, which were controlled by Yelu Chun, and in the north, the Mobei, Southwest, and Northwest Prefectures and Zhufan tribes controlled by Yelu Yanxi.
From the first day of his reign as emperor, Yelu Chun faced the embarrassment of being unflattering on three sides: Yelu Yanxi certainly could not tolerate it; And Dajin and Da Song, who regarded Yanjing as a bag, could not admit its existence. Therefore, after Yeluchun became emperor, he hurriedly asked Yu Jin and Yu Song to attach, but he was not allowed.
When the news reached Jinmen, Yang Yingqi, who was just about to board the ship, stroked his palms and laughed, Yang Pu and Chen Zhenghui came to see him off, seeing him laughing and asking the reason, Yang Yingqi showed them the spy report, and said with a smile: "The north and south of Daliao are divided, and we will do things!" According to the habits of the lord of the country, he will inevitably chase and kill Yelu Yanxi first, and then try Yanjing. The south and north of the desert are vast for thousands of miles, and when the lord of the country catches Yelu Yanxi, the Yanjing war will be over early! ”
Yang Pu said: "Yanjing is a famous city in the world, can the Song people capture it?" ”
Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "Famous cities are not famous cities, it depends on whose hands they are!" I know the truth of the Soldier of Yanyun. This trip will be a success! ”
No matter what the era, the human factor is always crucial. If the defenders are not effective and the people's hearts are not aligned, even if there are famous city fortresses, they will not be able to stop the defeat of the army. The Datong Mansion in Yunzhong, which was as famous as Yanjing's Xijin Mansion, fell in a short period of time under the strong attack of the Jin army, and all the prefectures and counties to which Xijing belonged surrendered in the hope of the wind.
But after the capture of Datong Mansion, the main force of the Jin army also began to get tired. In fact, the commanders of the older generation such as Aguta and Xianye had doubts about whether this round of march could capture Xijing, because after all, it was three thousand miles away from Huining, and the local people were not attached, and because they were far away from the rear, the military spirit was also unstable. But after the victory in this battle, the Jin army's attack also reached their limit. Zong Han and the others had to stop and repair, while consolidating the existing achievements and collecting grain and grass, and at the same time taking people on the spot and recruiting new soldiers.
The ethnic policy created by Aguta was simple but effective, because the Jin army had clear rewards and punishments, and many Han'er, Bohai, and Khitan were also happy to use it, so the Jin army could run rampant for thousands of miles, and the more the war became, the stronger it became.
Zong Han stopped, but Xiao Tienu didn't! Hearing that the Liao lord fled to Yinshan, he didn't even enter Datong Mansion, and pulled out the camp tent and rushed to Yinshan.
Lu Yanlun, who joined the army, said: "Our army has been running for 2,000 miles from Shangjing to Xijing, and there is no day to rest, and now the main army has also been garrisoned and repaired, but we are going alone, will we be too impatient." ”
Xiao Tienu sneered: "What do you know! After the troops crossed the site of the Great Wall, they took a deep breath and laughed loudly, but several old generals under his command howled with Xiao Tienu's laughter. Xiao Tienu smiled at Lu Yanlun and said, "Here! No! The place further north from here is my nest! ”
Walking more than 100 steps on the horse, Lu Yanlun barely followed, and there was no one around, Xiao Tienu pointed to the sky and the vast wilderness and said: "When the boss arrived at the beach, he couldn't help but say to our brothers: 'From now on, the lord of the country can only restrain me!'" If things go well, we know how the great cause is! If things don't go well, boating into the sea is also a sea and a wide sky! So we are today! Look at this grassland! See! This is my sea! ”
Lu Yanlun's heart was shocked! Before Xiao Tienu arrived at Shangjing Road, Xiao Tienu had already gathered a group of scribes like Lu Yanlun around him. After Yang Yingqi arrived, this group of people went to Beijing Road under the guidance of Xiao Qilin, and during this period, Lu Yanlun and others learned more when they worked with Yang Yingqi's staff than they had learned in the previous ten years of labor and politics! Of course, this group was not as strict as the civil service system of the Tsumen, but the simple and effective style was more suitable for the social form of the northern country.
Slowly, Xiao Tienu felt more and more inseparable from this group of people, and when he left Shangjing Road and went south to join the teacher, he also took this group of people with him, leaving only a small part to continue to operate and supervise the operation of Shangjing Road ranches, forest farms, and farms. After Xiao Tienu was defeated by Zhi Yanchong, he often thought about the reason for his failure, and finally summed it up to one point: that is, there was no good assistant around him, especially Yang Yingqi! He also learned a lot from this seventh brother and understood the importance of the base area. Although his subordinates did not rely as heavily on logistics as Cao Guangbi's subordinates, they still needed a large amount of money and goods to motivate morale and win people's hearts, so objectively speaking, he has never been free from the shroud of Jinmen's financial power. But when his horse's hooves re-set foot on the ground, everything may change! This piece of Eilechuan may not become his kingdom of Xiao Tienu, but it may become his starting point. Lu Yanlun and the others naturally can't be compared with Yang Yingqi, but he Xiao Tienu doesn't need such a strong auxiliary minister! All he needs is an obedient and capable butler!
"Let's go!"
Many of Xiao Zi's subordinates are Han, Goryeo, and Bohai people, but they have stayed under Xiao Tienu for a long time, and they are all contaminated with wolf nature, and seeing this grassland is like seeing their hometown! The bluntness of the Jurchen soldiers is not entirely due to the physical fatigue of the sergeants, but more to psychological discomfort, so they need to stop and adjust. But after Xiao Tienu's thousands of men and horses entered the prairie, everyone was in high spirits, galloping on horseback, and moving forward.
The Khitan people originated in Mobei and knew the length of the grassland peoples - the elders had more horses and strong races, and the shorter ones had few iron tools and a lack of craftsmen. Therefore, in the two hundred years of the Great Liao, the first priority for ruling the northwest is to strictly prohibit the transportation of iron weapons out of the Great Wall! At the same time, the various departments were divided and divided to prevent them from being held together. Therefore, in the Great Liao era, the non-Khitan nomadic tribes in the north and south of the desert used bone arrows and arrows for bows and arrows, and there were very few iron tools. It was not until the Jurchen Dynasty of Liao in later generations that the defense of iron tools gradually slackened, and a large number of iron tools and craftsmen flowed into Mobei, and there was the flourishing of Mongolian tribes.
At this time, the north and south of Yinshan Mountain, with the small tribe autonomous Divination Department and the White Tatar Department, faced the well-armed, strong-horsepower, and well-organized Xiao Tienu Department, where was the opponent? As soon as they took over, they were defeated. Xiao Tienu did not abuse them, as long as those who surrendered, they were appeased by the subordinates and entered the original troops. When he arrived at Yinshan, there were 5,000 elite soldiers under his command, and half of the tribes under the rule of the Great Liao Southwest Road Recruitment Division had surrendered to him. Xiao Tienu had five times as many horses in his army as there were before he left the Great Wall. However, there is not enough weapons.
