Chapter 993: Choice (II)

On the bank of the Baigou River, the battlefield of Song and Liao.

As the Song army marched north again, the situation here became more and more tense, and it seemed that the battle was about to start again, which made the main force of the Liao army, which was eager to rescue Nanjing in the rear, only stand still and put on a defensive position. This also made the Liao army, especially those generals, more and more uneasy, and always felt that the situation had completely escaped their control.

As the commander of the Liao army, Yelu Xiongge's mood was even more apprehensive and anxious to the extreme, and almost every day he would stand at the door of the big tent before sunset, staring blankly at the north for a long time, obviously waiting for further news to be delivered over there.

This evening, the subordinate soldiers found that the situation was a little different, the king of the southern courtyard did not come out of the account, and when they wanted to enter to ask for instructions, they were blocked by the soldiers guarding the tent, which made their doubts more and more serious, and they speculated about what happened to make the boss have this change. After inquiring and inquiring, the final result was that at noon, a fast horse arrived from the north, and sent an emergency army report inside, and then Yelu Xiongge never took half a step out of the tent.

At this time, Yelu Xiongge was sitting upright behind the long case, sitting quietly for a long time, holding the letter, looking at him who seemed to be very calm and calm, but because of the continuous trembling of the hands holding the letter, the monstrous waves in his heart were exposed. Even if it was him, after seeing this handwritten letter from Yelu Dashi, he was still so shocked that his whole body was weak, and he couldn't stand up until now.

Because the matter written in the letter was so serious, in just a few days, since the fall of Zhuozhou, Nanjing has also fallen into the hands of the Song army, and even if Yelu Dashi has tried his best to lead the army to rush there, there is nothing that can be done, and it is difficult to recapture it. However, the fall of these two cities was no longer relevant to Yelu Xiongge at this time, because there was an even more astonishing battle report behind him, and Shangjing City was also captured by the Jin people more than ten years ago, and His Majesty's life and death were unpredictable, and his whereabouts were unknown......

What does this mean? It means that the Great Liao, which has been standing in the north for many years, has come to the critical point of disintegration, which means that the official army of the Great Liao, which has now become an established system, is only one in his own hands, and it also means that the 100,000 troops under his command have become a real lone army, with no reinforcements inside, and strong enemies outside, which may be scattered at any time and completely defeated!

Although Yelu Xiongge did not vomit blood from his mouth because of this sudden bad news like Dashi, his whole condition was also extremely bad, and he had to accept such a terrible result for more than half a day. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this letter was written by Jerodashi himself, he would not have been able to believe that this series of bad news had come.

"Yelu Xiongge, now is not the time to think about these things, it is imperative that you make a choice, whether Da Liao survives or not, it is only in your thoughts!" With words in his mouth, forcibly freeing himself from the pressure and conjecture, Jerod kept admonishing himself.

Yelu Dashi's urgent letter was not only to pass on this series of bad news, but also to persuade him to accept the Song general Sun Tu's request and choose to join forces with the Song army, so as to defeat the Jin army and alleviate the current difficulties. It's just that the Song people are really credible? Especially the Song army, which has been eyeing the other side, will really agree to join forces with him to go north and fight against the Jin army?

As an important minister of the Liao State, Yelu Xiongge naturally knew about the secret alliance between Song and Jin and the joint dispatch of troops to attack the Great Liao. But now, the Song people suddenly made such a proposal, can they really believe it?

Too many thoughts swirled in his mind, and Yelu Xiongge couldn't calm down for a long time, and his body trembled even more violently than before. This made several military generals who finally forcibly broke into the tent look very nervous: "King, what happened to you?" But is there any disease? ”

The continuous greetings finally pulled Yelu Xiongge out of his thoughts, first blankly swept over the group of subordinates who were staring at him with concern, and then suddenly calmed down, gritted his teeth, and made a decision. The stakes are very high, and it is impossible for one person to control the overall situation, so he can only discuss with the generals.

Thinking of this, he had already pressed the letter in his hand on the table and slowly pushed it over: "You all take a look." This is the conclusive news that came back from the north from the Great Stone Forest. ”

Only then did the generals know the origin of this letter that caused the marshal's abnormality, and hurriedly rushed to circulate it. And at this moment, the tent fell silent again. Everyone's faces became extremely strange, and no one expected to see such an amazing news......

After waiting for a long time and no one spoke, Yelu Xiongge slowly spoke: "Since it is a letter written by Da Shi Linya, this matter cannot be fake. Now, the survival of my Daliao is in the minds of you, what choice do you think we should make? Go? ”

The generals came back to their senses and looked at each other for a long time, and some opened their mouths, but they couldn't say anything when the words came to their mouths. This fact is too big and too sudden, it is really not something that these martial artists in the army can make a decision in a short period of time, and they can't even say a suggestion, because no one can afford to take responsibility after the defeat.

The only thing that sounded was the chatter of a few people who still couldn't accept such a result: "How can this be, I thought that I would be able to hold out at least until the end of this year, why was Shangjing broken by the Jin army half a year earlier?" Could it be that the Jin army is really so strong, or is there a traitor in our court who betrays the country? ”

This seemingly dream-like sentence poured cold water on Yeluxiongge's head, and he suddenly had an idea. Yes, the truth of the fall of Shangjing is still a mystery, and as a courtier of the Liao State, he must figure out the reason. If it is dispersed like this, it will inevitably be captured by the Jin people in the future, and at that time, I am afraid that it will be impossible to find out the truth, and if there is really a traitor, it will be impossible for him to eliminate harm for the country. However, if you can really join forces with the Song people and defeat the Jin army, then there is still a chance for all this!

And at this moment, a general suddenly stepped forward: "We are willing to obey the king's orders, whether it is war or peace, it will be decided by the king's word!" ”

As the first person opened his mouth, the others finally found the direction they chose, and they also followed up: "I'll wait the same, just listen to the king's orders, whether it's war or peace, the king, you decide." ”

"Good!" Yelu Xiongge, who had already made up his mind, no longer hesitated as before, and immediately took the case, but almost fell down because of the weakness of his legs after sitting for a long time. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and his hands quickly changed from patting to support, so as to stabilize his body, and then said solemnly: "My Da Liao must not die at the hands of the Jurchens like this." As long as Song Jun really has the heart to unite with us, we will believe him once, and this is also our last chance to regain Shangjing. ”

After a pause, he set his gaze on one person: "Yelukui, you will go to the Song camp tomorrow as an envoy of our army to test the reaction of the Song people." In addition, in order to show the sincerity of our army, we will withdraw ten miles tonight! ”

Now that he had spoken all his words, Yelu Xiongge showed the fierce style of a general in the army, and immediately issued a series of orders. Indeed, it is much better to make an early decision on some things than to be in a dilemma at both ends of the first mouse.

When the generals of the Liao camp were depressed and devastated by this series of news, the Song camp was jubilant because of the news from the front.

"It's really unbelievable, he Sun Qianli has such ability, and in just over a month, he has won Zhuozhou and Youzhou successively, which is really ashamed of himself, ashamed of himself!" The planter couldn't help but praise again and again, and the old man was like him, and he was so excited that he couldn't sit still and paced happily in the camp.

The reactions of the other generals were similar, all of them were surprised, and while they were admiring, they were grinning so much that their mouths reached the root of their ears. This is really an unprecedented victory, so that even if they have done a mutiny to seize power before, they don't have to be afraid of the court to pursue it.

After all, this is the long-cherished wish of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, as long as Youzhou is in hand, the capture of the other fifteen states will no longer be difficult. What's more, this good news also mentions the current situation of the Liao State, and the Liao State that has been broken in Kyoto is afraid that it is not far from the death of the country. So what else is there to worry about, as long as the army waves, the sixteen states of Youyun will completely return to the arms of the Han people, and the achievements of a thousand years are at your fingertips!

Only the seed master Dao, among the excited and inexplicable generals, seems a little special, although there is also joy, but a pair of gray eyebrows are gently gathered together, and they haven't said anything for a long time. It wasn't until everyone was so happy that he said slowly: "Don't just look at the good news in front of you, Qianli is behind you and you also mentioned that you want to cooperate with the Liao people and discuss the Jin people together, what do you think about this?" ”

As soon as this question was raised, the expressions of these generals were condensed: "This thing is not easy to do, we have always been allies with the Jin people, is it too unauthentic to go back on our word at this time?" ”

"And the court can't explain it, this is completely contrary to His Majesty's previous intentions."

"Also, the Liao people are at the end of their rope, and it's too weird for us to suddenly cooperate with them, right?"

As these people spoke, the Seed Master Dao had already seen their thoughts, and it was obvious that they were quite unoptimistic about Sun Tu's proposal. This is indeed the enemy of the Liao, and it is really difficult to accept the sudden change of identity and become allies with them; Second, seeing that a big victory is expected, the generals no longer want to take risks fighting, after all, the combat power of the Jin army seems to be much stronger than that of the Liao army.

Even among the planters, he was also hesitant at this time: "Is it too hasty for Qianli to do this?" Wouldn't it be better for us to sit and watch the Liaojin War? ”

Just as all the generals came up with similar opinions, an unexpected figure suddenly stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Generals, the little ones think you are wrong, General Sun's approach is the wisest!" ”
