Chapter Fifty-Six: Soldiers Approaching the City
Yunzhou City, General Niu Qianwei's Mansion.
In the hall, Yelushan paced anxiously.
The candlelight flickered on and off, flickering and flickering.
The Qi army went out of Yanmen Pass, Shuozhou and Huanzhou have surrendered, a few days ago, the Qi army has besieged Yingzhou, and now, I don't know what happened to Yingzhou City.
The scouts sent out were expelled before they could get close to Yingzhou City, and none of the scouts sent out yesterday did not come back.
What's even more terrifying is that on the day when the news of the destruction of Shuozhou City just came, the Wohan Department of the northern ranch of Yunzhou was attacked by the Qi army's heavy cavalry, and more than 700 casualties were killed among the clans.
When this news came, coupled with the news that Shuozhou and Huanzhou had surrendered and Yingzhou was trapped, Yelu Shanbu felt that the eyes of those southerners under the tent were a little wrong.
Although it has urgently asked for help from Youzhou, I heard that the Qi army in Hebei has also begun to march north, attacking Yingzhou all the way and Yizhou all the way, echoing the military horses that went out of Yanmen Pass on its west road.
Qi people, really do not measure their own strength, not only take the initiative to provoke, but also, its two armies in Hebei, known as 300,000, the west road north invasion of military horses, known as 100,000, this is the power of the country to invade the north, heard its military song, not only sang what to recover the clouds, but also what to do to sing all the miles of Qi song?
His heart can be punished!
Emperor Tianzan, who should have heard the news now, will definitely send iron cavalry to defeat the Qi army.
will take the opportunity to go south, this is really a good opportunity given by Qi people.
But the problem is that now, he has no available soldiers in his hands, and the remnants of the fighting men are only two or three hundred, and they have long lost their morale, as for the southerners, I really don't know whether they should trust them or not.
In the past few days, Yelushan has been so anxious that he even forgot to visit the noble figure that haunted him.
"General! Thirty miles away, I found the banner of the Qi army! The soldiers shouted and ran in quickly.
Yelushan was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was cutting the wick shook, and the red candle was extinguished.
……
In the big account of the Chinese army, Guo Xizheng, the assassin of Shuozhou, said that Chen Hui, the capital supervisor of Yelushan, was the old man of Yunzhou Liao, and he was very prestigious in the southern army of Yunzhou, and if he was willing to surrender, he would be spared a bloody battle.
Now that Yunzhou only has the southern army defending the city, it should not be difficult to persuade it to surrender, but how to transmit the news is a difficult problem.
As he spoke, Guo Xi also sighed in his heart, when the Holy Son of Heaven besieged Shuozhou, he wanted to take the tiger to attack the city, so as to force himself, and he was shocked by the Holy Son of Heaven's faction at that time, and sure enough, in a short period of time, the Holy Son of Heaven led a hundred guards to severely damage the Khitan Department of the Yunzhou Ranch, and also captured many young Khitan women, which shocked the entire Shuozhou City.
This matter has also become the talk of the people of Shuozhou, which has changed the atmosphere of Shuozhou City, and has been afraid of the Khitan people for many years, but now, some people are gradually beginning to argue, the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains, whether it can defeat the Khitans, if half a month ago, there would be no controversy at all, and the answer is obvious.
is eager for the king to invade the north, but I only hope that the king of the Central Plains can migrate them back to the south of Yanmen Guannan, and no longer be a slave for the Khitans to kill and rob.
This made Guo Xi very emotional, and when he talked about persuading Chen Hui to surrender, he couldn't help but talk about the excitement of the military and people in Shuozhou.
Lu Ning listened, and also bowed slightly.
Speaking of which, if history has not changed, then when Yeluxian ascended to the throne, he admired the Han system, and the same was true for his queen Xiao Yanyan regency.
"I heard that you have a son named Guo Dayu?" Lu Ning suddenly asked with a smile.
Guo Xian's heart trembled, this unsuccessful guy has been depressed after changing banners in Shuozhou, and when the Qi army hit the Khitan Department of Yunzhou and brought back many criminal slaves, this rebel son was like a collapse of spiritual beliefs, and he was bedridden.
However, it's just a heart disease, but it's not a big deal, and he gradually accepts his identity as a southerner, Han, and Qi person, and thinks that after he recovers, he can turn this corner.
However, the Son of Heaven suddenly asked him?
"Yes......" Guo Xi wanted to explain something, but he stopped talking.
"I heard that he is skilled in arching and horses, and he has also reached the age of serving the country."
Guo Xian's heart was relieved, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty Mingjian, although he only has a few strengths, but the heart to serve the saint is very eager, and after a while, Weichen will send him into the army." ”
Lu Ning bowed his head slightly, and looked at Yelu Guru, who was trembling and sitting in the corner.
In the camp tent, Lu Ning sat on the top and on both sides of the bottom, sitting Lu Qing, the commander of the front army of the palace, Hu Yanzan, the deputy commander and the commander of the Hu Ben, Tian Qinzuo, the transfer envoy of the army in front of the palace and the commander of the reserve battalion, Lu Hu, the commander of the Shenwu Army, Zhu Chongjun, and some military officials, staff officers, confidential men, and so on.
In addition, Cheng Xing, the military affairs supervision envoy in front of the palace, and Xin Zhongfu, the deputy supervision envoy, although their errands have nothing to do with the war, they also want them to be present to listen.
And Yelu Guru, who is sitting in the far corner, is undoubtedly an alternative existence.
Lu Ning glanced at him, then smiled slightly, and said, "Listen to Yelu Gulu's report, in Yunzhou City, there is a pseudo-queen of Yelu Jing. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and those who were more thoughtful and lively immediately knew that there was a lot to be written about it.
After all, Yelu Jing was killed by the chamberlain, and the current Liao lord Yelu Gong Sage succeeded to the throne is not so justifiable.
Beside Yelu Guru, a confidential man who was proficient in Khitan language whispered the words of the Son of Heaven involving Yelu Guru.
Yeluguru's face was full of bitterness, knowing that what he had done, and all these secrets he had revealed, he would never be able to return to his homeland, and if he was sent back, he would inevitably suffer a cruel punishment and die, and it was better to wipe his own neck.
"Jeruguru, what can you do to bring news to the city?" Lu Ning asked suddenly.
The confidential man whispered an interpreter on the side.
When Yelu Guru saw Lu Ning talking to him, he hurriedly stood up, endured the severe pain in his shoulder, struggled to kneel, and after listening to the confidential man's translation, he muttered in a trembling voice.
The confidential man bowed, "Your Majesty, Yeluguru said that he didn't have any special methods. ”
"Okay, then, Yelu Guru, I will let you go back, you can tell Yelu Shan, I believe that you can persuade him to surrender, so I will let you go back to the city, but in fact, your errand on this trip is to bring a secret letter to the capital eunuch Chen Hui."
Guo Xi was stunned, this Yelu Guru, if he really obeyed the orders of the Holy Son of Heaven and brought this letter to Chen Hui, the shock it brought to Chen Hui was definitely not small, and it would be easier to persuade him in his letter.
When the confidential man helped the Son of Heaven translate to Yelu Guru, he also said a few more words by the way, and the Son of Heaven was too lazy to explain, for example, if Yelu Shanbu had any doubts, you can say that the Qi people are arrogant, thinking that under the siege, breaking the city and persuading them to surrender are just using more or less strength, so they let you go back, because when you enter Yunzhou City, you are the same as a turtle in an urn.
Yelu Guru broke out in a cold sweat and nodded repeatedly.
