Chapter 334: Western Expedition (9)
The stable territory of the Liao Dynasty stretched from Jinshan (present-day Altai Mountains) in the west to the northern edge of the Mongolian Plateau and the Outer Khing'an Mountains in the north. east to Sakhalin Island (present-day Sakhalin; The western section of its southern boundary was bordered by the Uighurs of Xizhou and Dangxiang, respectively, and the eastern section was bounded by the Northern Song Dynasty in present-day Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Hebei.
After the Liao destroyed the Bohai Sea, it still owned a piece of land in the northeast of the Korean Peninsula that originally belonged to the Bohai Kingdom, so the border between Liao and Goryeo was roughly on the line from Hamheung to the south bank of the Yalu River estuary in present-day North Korea.
Taizu Yelu Abaoji selected the location of the capital on the shore of the Wolf River (now the Lun River of Urijilin), and the third year of the Divine Book (918 AD) was completed; It is called the imperial capital (the site is in the south of the left banner of Inner Mongolia Bahrain).
In the thirteenth year of Tianxian (938 AD), it was changed to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.
In the twenty-fifth year of Tonghe (1007 AD), Zhongjing Dading Mansion (now West Daming City, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia) was added.
The official capital of Liao was always in Shangjing, but the actual capital of the later period had been moved to Dadingfu in Zhongjing (present-day Daming City, southwest of Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia).
The Great Liao Khitan Kingdom was founded in 916 AD, when the Song Dynasty was still nowhere to be seen, and the Later Zhou Dynasty was not established.
In 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin planned the Chenqiao Mutiny to snatch power from the orphans and widows of Chai Zongxun in the Later Zhou Dynasty, half a century later than the Great Liao Khitan State; However, Zhao Guangyi, the second emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, wanted to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun from the Great Liao Khitan State.
Song Taizong's wolf ambition inherited the emperor and the queen mother understood in her heart that she only had one word "dry"!
The meaning contained in the dry word is too rich, this is the mantra of the Empress Dowager Xiao; It is also the ear voice that she often instills in Han Derang.
A woman can stand firm and perseverance in the torrent of men, and can shout a loud "dry" word in the face of an aggressive and strong enemy; What kind of momentum is this?
Han Derang listened to Empress Dowager Xiao talk about the development and history of the Khitan people, and praised her as a peerless hero with infinite emotion; Hug and kiss wildly and put it on the bed......
Han Derang laughed excitedly: "Little sister has the ambition to realize the unification of China, and follow the great talent of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so you have to seriously analyze the current situation!" ”
Xiao Zhuo sat up from the bed with his black hair and skirt neat, staring at Han Derang without speaking.
Han Derang glanced at Xiao Zhuo and continued: "Over the years, Da Liao and the Song Kingdom have been fighting for two years, but neither of them can swallow the other; In terms of national strength, the Song Dynasty is more than enough, and the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom can only look at it! ”
Han Derang spoke freely, and Xiao Zhuo felt that what he said was reasonable.
In terms of national strength, the Great Liao Khitan State was certainly not the opponent of the Northern Song Dynasty; Xiao Zhuo understands this in his heart.
After Han Derang finished the above words, he paused and said solemnly: "The Khitan national strength is not superior to that of the Song State, but it can be won in several wars; One of the main reasons is that our cavalry is the most elite force in the world! ”
Empress Dowager Xiao listened to Han Derang's serious speech, and said with a burst of laughter: "Let my brother be worthy of Zhuge Liang of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, and the three stinkers can't beat one of you!" ”
Empress Dowager Xiao said, raised her little thumb and scratched Han Derang's nose pimple and laughed louder, "Let my brother speak too realistically!" One board and one eye are all to the point! ”
"My little sister has won the prize!" Han Derang bowed and said: "I think of my Hanmen family, and I have to say that the Empress Dowager Luping and the Empress Dowager Chengtian have the glory of today; Without the support of the two emperors; How could Hanchen enter the royal family of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom! ”
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at Han Derang, her face overflowing with endless happiness.
Han Derang Dingshen said impassionedly: "Hanmen is now the royal family of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, and Weichen has also made a Taibao and political order, and the Prime Minister is a member of the Privy Council of the North and South Houses; worship the prime minister into the king of Qi; Such a bright aura is a gift from the little sister! ”
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said, "Look at what Brother Jean said, why do we have to talk about two families?" ”
After a pause, Meimu said commotionally: "No matter how great the power of the slave family is, it is not under my brother's body...... Let my brother tell you if it's ...... Giggling...... "Empress Dowager Xiao herself almost laughed out of breath."
Han De hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand: "Little sister is joking!" Weichen is the duty of the husband who is determined to serve, and the emperor of heaven is full of palaces back then; There is only one little sister, Weichen, and Weichen must do his best! ”
"Let my brother not stand up and speak!" Seeing Han Derang kneeling on the ground, Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and sit on the bed and said, "What did you make my brother kneel?" You are the backbone of the little sister, and the little sister can't do without you for a moment! ”
Han Derang's expression was excited, and he hugged the little waist of the Empress Dowager Xiao tightly in his arms and chattered: "Weichen burned the thick incense of the old urn in his last life, and he can get the favor of the Empress Dowager Chengtian; I don't regret even if I die! ”
Han Derang said as he said with a big hand gently stroking the Empress Dowager Xiao's body; It's like feeling a fine piece of silk.
The famous politicians of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, the Empress Dowager Chengtian, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yanyan, are lying quietly in the arms of their lover Han Derang at the moment, and they are mollusks.
The nutrition of grassland milk and animal meat makes her 32-year-old body like a teenage girl, and her girlish heart is also surging in spring.
Xiao Yanyan is a descendant of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, and married the royal Yelu clan in the era; It's a pity that Xiao Yanyan married Ye Luxian, a man, but the prince charming in her heart is naturally the handsome guy Han Derang, who has been a childhood sweetheart since childhood.
Han Derang is a Han native of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and his grandfather was a subject of the Great Liao Khitan State more than 80 years ago; Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan has no distinction between Han people and Khitan people, whether Han people or Khitan people; They are all subjects of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom.
And the burly, empathetic handsome guy in front of her is now her husband who is being recruited by the media, and Xiao Yanyan still has nothing to let go.
Xiao Yanyan made up for the lack of her soul in Han Derang's arms, and wholeheartedly accepted Han Derang's warm and stormy kisses and hugs.
Human love and intimacy are strikingly similar, a yin and a yang come into contact together; Whether it's dark skin or white skin, it can burst out with charming sparks.
Han Derang hugged Xiao Yanyan warmly for a while, and said: "Weichen's grandfather came to the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom as a prisoner in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, and was a slave in the palace tent of the Empress Shuluping of Yingtian Daming at the beginning; But later, it turned out to be an official to the Zhongshu Order. His father, Han Kuangsi, stayed in Nanjing and was named King Yan by the imperial court. Weichen has been influenced by his family and influenced by his parents since he was a child, and he understands the principles of governing the country; In July of the first year of Qianheng, the Song army came to attack on behalf of his father in Nanjing, and Weichen was not afraid to go to the city to command and resist for 15 days and nights; When the reinforcements arrived, the internal and external flanking attacks defeated the Song soldiers at the Gaoliang River. In the fourth year of Qianheng, Weichen was promoted to the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, and he was also the Taibao and political order, and the Privy Council of the Prime Minister of the North and South Houses worshiped the Prime Minister and entered the King of Qi. The three generations of Weichen were favored by the imperial court and became the most powerful person in the Hanchen, which was supported by the little sister; Wechen is grateful, toothless and unforgettable! ”
Empress Dowager Xiao hooked Han Derang's neck with both hands, snuggled in his arms and smiled, "Let my brother be too humble!" The little sister and the elder brother have been married for a hundred years, this is what should be done, what to talk about, the emperor's grace is vast! ”
After a pause, he swallowed his throat and said: "The country of the Yelu Xiao family is the country of the Han family, why should my brother be like that!" ”
Han Derang saw that Empress Dowager Xiao spoke easily, hugged her and kissed her wildly; Empress Dowager Xiao enjoyed it and said with a smile: "The slave family entered the palace at the age of 17 to serve Emperor Jingzong, and he has never received such fierce warmth as his brother; However, Jingzong gave Yan Yan a chance to display her talents! ”
Empress Dowager Xiao said as she left Han Derang's arms and stood on the ground and said: "After Yan Yan became familiar with the stereotypes and precepts in the palace, the Song Dynasty was founded not long ago; Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Da Liao signed the 'Xiongzhou Alliance', the two countries coexisted peacefully and did not invade each other for more than ten years; after Song Taizu died without explanation, Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne of the emperor, this old stick thought that we orphans and widows were easy to bully, and wanted to annex the sixteen states of Yanyun! ”
"Zhao Guangyi, that's a mantis arm, as if he is not capable!" Han Derang was filled with righteous indignation and said: "I think that my Great Liao Khitan Kingdom is now in the period when the soldiers are strong and strong, and if Zhao Manzi dares to use troops, we will let him have no return!" ”
"Let my brother say it well!" Empress Dowager Xiao walked on the ground with small steps and said: "When the Song army invaded the border, let my brother lead the warriors of the Liao State to beat Zhao Guangyi, we must carry forward the residual power of the battle of the Gaoliang River and continue to exert pressure on the old Bangzi Zhao Guangyi!" ”
Empress Dowager Xiao looked back at Han Derang and said with a sonorous look: "Brother Jean, now is the best time to unify the Central Plains; I don't know what tricks my brother has to tell my little sister to listen to, so that the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom can release the Central Plains and realize the unification of the Hongyuan of China! ”
Han Derang didn't say anything for a long time, got up from the bed and stomped on the floor of the palace tent.
Han Derang stomped a few dozen steps and then turned around and said to Empress Dowager Xiao: "Now is not the time to march on a large scale, to realize the grand ambition of the unification of China; We have to go deep into the hinterland of the Song Kingdom and destroy their grain and grass reserves! ”
Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned, stared at Han Derang in surprise, and asked puzzledly: "Destroying the grain and grass reserves of the Song Kingdom?" What makes my brother think is how to make a move! ”
Han Derang Dingding said: "The grain and grass supply of the Song Kingdom is south of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult for us to go deep into the south; But Shaanxi Five Roads can be go! ”
"Shaanxi Five Roads!" Xiao Zhuo exclaimed, looked at Han Derang and said, "Why do you want to go to Shaanxi Wulu?" ”
"There is a place for the Song army to hoard grain and grass on the fifth road in Shaanxi!" Han Derang raised his arm and said: "Especially the Xianghe River, Jing River, and Fuhe River are distributed with a large number of granaries of the Song Kingdom!" ”
Empress Dowager Xiao clapped her hands and praised: "Let my brother, this little sister, understand, you mean to go deep behind enemy lines to destroy the enemy's grain and grass; Weaken the reserves of the Song Kingdom! ”
"Little sister speaks well!" Han Derang laughed, and said in his throat: "The mantra of the Central Plains Dynasty is: the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first; Unlike the horse teams of the steppe peoples, they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, and run there without worrying about food and clothing! ”。
Han Derang said this sentence in a high-sounding manner, he did not say that the grassland people solved the problem of grain and grass for the army by plundering; And it is said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water.
Xiao Zhuo was full of joy when he heard this, and asked Han Derang to continue; Outside the palace tent, there was a shout: "Emperor Qicheng Empress Dowager, King Wenzhong, Xiazhou Li Jiqian sent envoy Zhang Pu to ask to see ......"
