246th sweep north 10
The Song State was weakened and no longer able to threaten the Liao State, which made the Liao State rejoice.
The Liao Emperor and the pig-headed nobles suddenly had a spirit and spirit, and they began to corrupt with peace of mind.
Knowing that the Liao State was finally able to free up his hands to attack the Jin State with all his might, and for the first time he had the right to lead troops, Yelu Dashi was originally very excited.
I felt that the sky was bright all of a sudden, and the dark clouds that could not be torn apart on the heads of the Khitans and Da Liao were finally about to dissipate.
But after learning that the nobles had given an indiscriminate massacre order to the soldiers participating in the war, and hearing with his own ears that the emperor had also given this absurd order, his exhilarating emotions were extinguished at once, and he anxiously tried his best to persuade that it was wrong to slaughter them all, but no one cared about his opinion that he was a young man of the imperial family who was in a hurry to go to the Jin Kingdom to die.
Yelu Dashi didn't understand the famous saying that almost everyone in later generations knew: details determine success or failure.
The general policy goal is set, the direction is right, this is just to lay the foundation for success, whether it can be successful, it depends on the details in the implementation. The details are not well organized, and the most perfect and promising strategic ideas are all in vain, or even just inspire others to finally make wedding dresses for others.
However, Yelu Dashi's natural political instinct and keen political sense intuitively felt that killing indiscriminately was extremely dangerous, and I was afraid that it would ruin the results of this all-out battle.
It's a pity that he doesn't count.
If you want to force a few more words, all you get in exchange is a piece of "a woman's kindness; Don't dare to kill, I'm afraid of this and worry about that, you are also my big Khitan fearless good man? You hairless boy knows what national policies and plans" and so on.
Yelu Dashi was sad, but he could only hold back, drank too much in the tavern, couldn't control the depression, loss, helplessness and anxiety in his heart for a while, threw his glass to the ground, got up and said angrily: "Kill, kill, kill, you know that you are blindly obscene and ruthless." How can a dignified great country act so indiscriminately between good and evil, without distinction between enemies and self, and without regard for the system? “
"With such indiscriminate killing, can I still have the prestige of a great power in Da Liao?"
"Acting like a demon for the country, who will dare to have hope and favor for me in the future? Does Da Liao want to become the common enemy of the world? Is Da Liao still the strong and invincible Da Liao of the past? It's not good to deal with a little Jurchen, and against the rebels in the whole world, how can the Liao State dare to be confident and not afraid? “
His roar shocked many in the tavern.
Some people think it is reasonable, but more Liao people do not think so.
Song Guo can't do it, and in the future, I'm afraid that the surrounding powers can bully as much as they want. What is there to scruple about in Liao, the only remaining great power?
This mentality is the same as the mentality of the fierce polar bear country in another world that suddenly collapsed and disintegrated, and the only remaining superpower, the Lady of Liberty.
The Khitan has been strong for hundreds of years, and it is difficult for the pride and self-confidence in the bones that have been formed to completely dissipate within three or two years of the Jin country's attack, and it will rebound at the first opportunity.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
It's a pity that they are just ignorant brutes, and very few people can realize the power of this.
Anyway, Qin Hui still has two good friends. What's more, it is Yelu Dashi, who was born with status, status and shrewdness.
There are friends who are also drinking in the tavern and accompanying Yelu Dashi, including three or two children of the royal family who are friends with Yelu Dashi, and usually follow Yelu Dashi, are shocked when they hear this.
This is a big crime to slander the court and question and ridicule the emperor, this is a tavern, not your own home, do you really dare to say, don't die?
The half-drunk Yelu Dashi was covered by a friend and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he reminded him, and he suddenly woke up a lot, and quickly continued to pretend to be drunk and talk nonsense, but he didn't dare to slander any court affairs to vent his frustration, and was supported by a servant and a friend or two who dared to help each other in public at this time, and quickly left the tavern.
He pretended to be drunk and returned home, but the more he thought about the emperor's absurdity and cruelty, the more afraid he became, for fear that he would be arrested and imprisoned or even cut directly, he was frightened and uneasy, he regretted his drunken gaffe, learned a good lesson, and was ready to abandon his home and flee at any time, and did not dare to sleep all night, but in the end there was nothing, and the Liao Emperor did not even scold and teach him a lesson. He still led a thousand-man team out as usual, and no one played tricks to retaliate against him, and making a fuss about this thousand-man team made him bring unusable manpower.
didn't even have the means to indirectly kill him on the dangerous journey of the Jin Kingdom?
Yelu Dashi marched on the way north, looked around at the mighty and excited and nervous Liao army, and looked at his own team, relieved but more suspicious at the same time.
This is not the style of the arrogant Liao Emperor and the pig-headed magnates at all. Why are they so generous this time?
Think about it.
Is it for the sake of me being the first to serve my country and be the first to ask for war?
Could it be that I am now afraid that I have a reputation for valor, and that killing me will affect the morale and courage of the whole army?
......
After thinking about it for a while, Yelu Dashi figured it out.
It's not that the emperor and the magnates have become better or even wiser, it's not that they are generous at all.
The reason why they didn't kill him and didn't even ask him for the crime was because they wanted to let him go to the Jin Kingdom to die, and they basically regarded him as a dead man.
At this special time, these pig-heads also have a heart, and they don't bother to play lewd power on a dying person.
Even if he is lucky enough to come back alive, fate is in the hands of these real magnates.
If these people want to play to death, it is as easy as playing with an ant to death, and they can do it whenever they want, and it is not rare to worry about him now.
There was a sadness in Yelu Dashi's heart.
He had never been so eager to become famous and in such a hurry to rise to power.
This opened up the belief in all his future actions - power, to seize the supreme power of Daliao by all means. Whoever dares to stand in the way will be resolutely eradicated.
The royal friend who had been messing with him all the time, and who was on the same team of 1,000 people with him this time, saw Yelu Dashi's expression change, and knew that Dashi was still entangled in the tavern, so he comforted him that it was okay, since the emperor was generous and didn't pursue it immediately, you don't have to worry anymore.
Then the long march was boring and boring, and the royal son expressed his opinion on the massacre order: "The Song State is paralyzed, who else is my great rival of the Great Liao State?" Jurchen? Hmph, that's just that I couldn't free my hands to clean it up before. This time it was extinguished...... No worries. Brother Oishi, you're thinking too much. “
The children of the noble royal family have a natural sense of superiority, and the arrogant and arrogant characteristics of the Liao royal family are an integral part of life, and it is difficult to lose the day when they are not in trouble.
It's only natural that this royal family thinks so.
"I'm thinking too much?"
Yelu Dashi recovered from his thirst for power, and seeing that his friend was so arrogant and confused, he couldn't help but rush out in his heart: "Song is weak, and Da Liao is invincible?" Good. So may I ask, what is the pirate who has almost plundered the foundation of the Song Kingdom at one time, and has wantonly robbed my Great Liao Kingdom in the past few years? “
When it came to pirates, let alone the children of the royal family, all the Liao generals of the Liao army who heard the words around were speechless.
Yelu Dashi glanced at the resentment of the pirates and more fear and helplessness, and his mood darkened, and his anxious heart became more and more irritable.
I wanted to say something about pirates, but I opened my mouth, but I really didn't know anything about pirates, and I closed my mouth again.
I just feel that the pirates are extremely greedy, fierce and powerful, and they are so insatiable for population and wealth. Perhaps there are also ill-intentioned people, not as everyone thinks, the pirate rulers only like and get used to the lush and cold of the South all year round, and life abroad is not uncommon at all.
But what if the pirates like to live a winter day again?
What if these bandits, who rose as fast as the Jurchens and were surprisingly stronger than the Jurchens, changed their minds and even took possession of the mainland?
In case the pirates come to loot the Liao State like robbing the Song State and even want to destroy the Liao State, can the bear like the Liao State stop him......
There is no answer.
The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, and I wanted to vomit blood, and my heart felt as uncomfortable as if it was on fire.
In the end, he gave up his boring worries and returned to the current reality, and sighed faintly: "I am afraid that after the massacre, it is not worrying that Song will be weak, but in exchange for this rare advantage of my Daliao and the opportunity to become the hegemon again, I have all lost." Then the world will be the enemy. The Great Liao is dead! “
His royal buddy was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped him: "You still dare to say that? Do you really want to be beheaded by questioning? “
Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly, nodded and said nothing.
But when he entered the Jin Kingdom, he had the final say, and after he was free, he gave a strong order to the entourage: "I don't say that the massacre is wrong. But we can't really kill like that. For example, our people who were miserable slaves in the Jin country, they were not willing to serve the Jurchens, but they were forcibly taken captive, helpless, and they were not our enemies. We will not kill them, but we will deliver them. They will be grateful to us and will naturally follow us, not only will they not be an obstacle to our destruction of the Jurchens, but they will also be our help. “
"Also, try to kill as few slaves as possible."
"Please take my word for it. I believe you will soon taste the benefits of following my commands. I am also confident that I will win your deep gratitude after the battle. “
Finally, he said heavily: "Because, at least I have reduced the number of enemies you have to kill, so that you have more chances to survive." “
This principle is easy to understand, and the account is not difficult to calculate.
Although some of the Liao troops still disagreed, more they felt that it was wrong to disobey the emperor's will in private, but they still did it under the military order.
Anyway, the guilt is the boss's top. As long as the boss doesn't force everyone to rebel and don't surrender to the Jurchens, he will do what he says.
This is the territory of the extremely dangerous Jurchen beasts, and there is no way to make trouble. There must be a high degree of unity. Military orders must be strictly observed. Otherwise, let alone making a fortune through meritorious service, all of them will die here, and none of them will want to go back alive.
It's gold that always shines.
The ensuing battle clearly proved that Jerodashi was right.
This team of Liao army did not kill indiscriminately, rescued the miserable fellow clan, and also tried to let go of the unlucky slaves of other clans, the result greatly reduced the pressure of killing, the Jurchens did not delay the killing, the wealth was not delayed, the battle was damaged by the soldiers, but the strength did not decrease but increased, there were slaves of all ethnic groups who followed and joined, more courageously killed the Jurchens than their Liao army to vent their hatred, and also had the manpower to help loot and transfer the wealth they had grabbed, and the original offensive obstacles and resistance really became the strength of the Liao army, which was more conducive to weakening the strength of the Jin State.
In addition, Yelu Dashi gradually bloomed with excellent leadership skills, flexible and powerful command, fast attack speed, and many Jurchen tribes attacked, but again and again in time to avoid the main force of the Jin army crazy reconnaissance and interception, as a result, among all the Liao army guerrillas, this team finally became the lucky one with the least battle losses, the greatest gains, and tens of thousands of slave believers of all ethnic groups. Compared with the heavy losses of other teams, Yelu Dashi's reputation for wisdom, wisdom, courage and good fighting in the Liao State has also skyrocketed......
There is another person who stands out in this massacre attack, but it is not a Khitan general, but a Han Chinese, he is Guo Yaoshi, who defected to the Song Dynasty and defected to the Jin army in history.
Guo Yaoshi became a Liao general when the remnants of the Han people in the Yanyun area were robbed by pirates and took away the Han people after the rebellion of the Bohai people in eastern Liaodong, Yeluchun, the king of Yan, took the Yanyun area by pirates and took them away.
This team, which refused to defect to the pirates and would rather fight for the lowly servant army and the Khitans, can be imagined who the main body is.
In the subsequent battles against the Bohai State and against the Jin Army, it showed the characteristics of not being afraid of death than the vast majority of the Liao army, and also showed its combat effectiveness stronger than the vast majority of the Liao army.
Bravely served in exchange for this treatment, which made this resentful army dissatisfied.
Naturally, some generals gradually became rebellious because of resentment, and then they remembered to join the pirates and find another master to serve.
However, this time, the pirates did not have the magical foreknowledge ability to pick up and take away those who wanted to defect in time.
The resentful soldiers have many mouths, different people's hearts, and there are whistleblowers, and the treachery is soon exposed.
The Liao army raided and surrounded these parts of the resentful army that were in danger as cannon fodder everywhere, and the Han generals Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, and Dong Xiaochulin were all killed.
The defection was easily quelled, and the remaining soldiers of the resentful army were still willing to serve the Liao state, but the strong combat power and unreliability of the resentful army made the Liao rulers very uneasy at first.
At that time, Yelu Yu, an important general of the Liao imperial family, suggested to Xiao Gan, the king of the Northern Courtyard, that it would be a great disaster to keep the resentful army, and simply kill the entire resentful army.
Xiao Gan also thought so, and as a leading soldier, he was even more black-hearted, but he didn't kill him in the end.
Because the performance of the Liao army at that time was really unbearable, the more heavy troops they gathered and wanted to win a big battle, but the more they lost miserably, the huge Liao State was actually beaten by the little Jurchen and was almost powerless and helpless. In this critical and terrible situation where the strength of the clan could not be relied on, the role of the resentful army was indispensable, and it was the most effective death squad and firefighter at that time.
As a result, the resentful army was praised by the Liao ruler, and was taken seriously, and the treatment was slightly better, and the generals of the department were promoted and rewarded, and the name of the army was changed to the good name of the Changsheng Army.
Because Guo Yaoshi is young and strong, his appearance is quite majestic, and Shen Yi is resolute, with his might and strength, many people are attached to him, and his loyalty can be learned, and his military achievements are extraordinary, so Guo Yaoshi was promoted to the capital management, and he was always victorious, and then he was named Zhuozhou to stay behind, Zhang Jue, Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Heshou and other Han generals were generals. Supervisor Xiao Yuqing.
So just like Zhuge Liang said in the "Teacher Table": out of gratitude, the Han generals are willing to dedicate all their lives to the great Liao Emperor.
More loyal and courageous for the Liao rulers.
But by the time this risky and indispensable Liao army had become the force to enter the Jin Kingdom, this single army had already died with less than a thousand men left.
