Chapter 87: Alien Hearts
Liaoying follows the flow of the water, stretches for more than ten miles, and is stationed in the city. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of Hu Han infantry cavalry troops, there are also tens of thousands of "supernumerary" personnel, Jin ministers, family members, people's husbands, coolies, simply in terms of the number of people, there are 200,000, doubled, can be called "400,000 army".
Since returning to the north, in addition to crossing the big river and attacking Anyang, Luancheng is the place where he has stayed the longest. Up and down, they were immersed in a state of restlessness, and the confrontation between the Khitans, the various armies and departments, because of the contradictions at the top, gradually became fierce, and the conflict became even more serious.
Even those soldiers and Ding Zhuang in the army became panicked, with uneasiness in joy, and as if they had found some hope in their despair.
In addition to the previous continuous combat casualties and the military strength of the states, there were still nearly 30,000 troops with the army, and in the Liao army at this time, it was also an important force that was difficult to ignore and independent.
It was not arranged together, but in the Sanyan camp, there were tens of thousands of soldiers, and the camp was very poorly repaired, and it was still improvised in the two days when Yelu Deguang died, and he was obviously making some preparations.
In the military tent, Zhao Yanshou was wearing a brocade robe, sitting on the main seat, discussing with a group of Youyan Han military generals and colonels how to deal with the changes at this time. These Yan soldiers, they are full of suspicion and rejection on weekdays, and they are inferior, and in such a sensitive situation, they can only huddle together to keep warm.
The atmosphere was very depressing, and during the discussion, the voice did not dare to be too loud. The generals expressed their thoughts and made suggestions for Zhao Yanshou's reference, but His Royal Highness King Yan looked a little careless and didn't seem to be listening seriously.
The composition of the Yan army is equally complex, there are hardcore traitors, there are Yan land tycoons, there are relics of the Jin Kingdom, and there are righteous generals who are committed to China...... Even if it is to report to the group for warmth, it is also a different mind.
Zhao Yanshou actually knew this, looked around, and sighed slightly in his heart. He knew that it was easy to bring these people together, but it would be difficult to integrate them and conspire together. He Zhao someone, although he has some fame, has not yet reached the point of a full response.
"So be it!" Zhao Yanshou raised his head suddenly, waved his hand in a relaxed manner, and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to organize the brothers, as long as the soldiers and horses are in hand, let him change, others will not dare to humiliate, and the Khitans will not dare to humiliate." In addition, to keep in touch with the other two battalions and advance and retreat with us......"
"I have been attached to the Khitan in the north for many years, and I know that there are many internal contradictions in the Khitan, and the death of Emperor Liao will inevitably inspire and implicate us. Since ancient times, the struggle for power has been cruel and fierce, and in the past two days, the battle between the imperial camp has been visible. We are originally from the south, and we also have elite soldiers and strong generals, so it is difficult to stay out of the matter! ”
Zhao Yanshou's face was pale, and the wrinkles crawled all over his face, and he said solemnly: "If the situation is like this, the safety is uncertain, we can only work together to tide over the difficulties!" ”
After a frank telling, it still had some effect, and the Yan soldiers and generals present all agreed to it.
Zhao Yanshou breathed a sigh of relief, and just when he showed some relief, he was startled by the sudden movement outside the camp.
"King Yan, it's not good!" The henchman hurriedly broke in, looking frightened: "There are Khitan cavalry outside the camp, and we are surrounded!" ”
Hearing the change in color, Zhao Yanshou could only forcibly suppress the suspicion in his heart, appease the general, and lead the crowd out to check the situation. Without showing fear, he did not feel that in such a situation, the Khitans would set off civil strife and act against them.
As reported by the tooth general, a large number of Khitan cavalry had already run away from the periphery, and the camp stood against the water, being threatened from three sides. The middle and upper rank officers were all concentrated in the tent to discuss matters, and there was no one to lead them, and the middle and lower level Yan soldiers were a little at a loss about this change.
When Zhao Yanshou led people out of the tent, he already saw that thousands of Khitan cavalry had already burst in from the camp gate, which was very arrogant, and some soldiers who couldn't avoid it were directly killed.
"General Yelu led the army to come, such a big battle, forced into the camp wall, why is this, not afraid of provoking a mutiny?" Looking at the Khitan general who came galloping on horseback, Zhao Yanshou looked at him coldly, his tone was very tough, not very cowardly.
At this time, the surrounding Yan soldiers had already reacted and began to form a formation to resist, but there was nothing they could do about the Khitan army that broke into the camp, it was just a subconscious act of self-preservation.
The leading Khitan general is Yelu Jieli, who was previously assigned by Yelu Deguang to raise horses, and as soon as Yelu Deguang died, he was directly activated by Yelu Ruan and regained military power.
Riding on a tall horse, Yelu Xie Li stepped forward and looked at Zhao Yanshou with contempt: "Your Majesty, I heard that there was an abnormality in the Yan camp, and I would have been ordered by King Yongkang to come and take over the Yan camp and coordinate the transfer, just in case!" ”
"The general said he was joking!" Zhao Yanshou's face was ugly.
"Whether it's a joke or not, King Yan knows in his heart. You have already been relieved of military power by His Majesty, why are you here? The contempt in Yelu Jieli's tone became even heavier, and his gaze swept to the Yan army generals behind Zhao Yanshou: "What is the intention of convening these generals and colonies?" ”
As soon as these words fell, not only Zhao Yanshou, but also the other Yan Military Academy, their expressions changed, and their eyes showed jealousy and fear.
Staring at their reactions, Yelu Xie straightened his waist, held his head high, looked around, and said in a strong voice: "Ben will come by order, do you still have any questions?" ”
......
"King, Yan Ying has been controlled!" On the side of the Liao army's imperial camp, Yelu Anyan reported to Yelu Ruan.
"Didn't cause a revolt, did you?" Yelu Ruan had just returned from his camp, his expression was serious, and he asked when he heard the words.
"Don't worry, the three Yan camps are blocked, and we will suddenly launch them and easily control them!" Jeream replied.
Yelu Ruan: "What about Zhao Yanshou?" ”
"Already under house arrest! Yelu An's face showed a trace of disdain: "This person secretly summoned General Yanbing, obviously with a bad intention, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." ”
Yelu Ruan breathed a heavy sigh of relief, took the lead and walked towards the imperial camp, and said solemnly as he walked: "It can't go on like this!" ”
"Are you worried about the generals who are loyal to the Emperor? Now that Yan Bing is in control, he will start to deal with them next? ”
Yelu Ruan shook his head: "They are all Khitan talents, the general trend is mine, and they will compromise sooner or later." I went around the battalions, and the morale of the troops was scattered, morale was low, and there were many fights, and it was a complete chaos. It is necessary to strictly rectify the situation, stabilize it as soon as possible, put things in order, and return to China, otherwise, sooner or later there will be a big mess! ”
"By the way, what about the Longqi Army in Zhaozhou?" Yelu Ruan asked suddenly.
Yelu'an replied disapprerovingly: "It seems that it has been withdrawn, and the other party probably doesn't dare to go deep alone." ”
"Hmm." Yelu Ruan answered.
Sighing, Yelu Ruan ordered: "Let Cha Chai and Shuo Gu and the generals and ministers come to the imperial camp to meet me!" ”
