Among the Liao generals who led the team to attack the Jin State this time, they were not nobles and sober people who did not have far-sightedness.

Among them, there is an outstanding son of the Liao royal family who finally stood out in this battle and became the most dazzling rookie, he is the historical Western Liao Emperor Yelu Dashi.

This person is just a common young man among the many children of the Liao royal family at this time, although he is usually smart, assertive, responsible, and has the spirit to break through the stale, but that's it.

No real powerful person will think highly of him and value his role.

A national crisis does not mean that those who have the ability will be reused or even relied on.

On the contrary, the more turbulent and critical the country, the more selfish and fierce the infighting and self-consumption become, and the more selfish and ferocious they are.

You can see the chaos during the Republic of China.

Even if there is a moment of compromise and harmony, after the critical situation eases a little, the cannibalism will become more and more sinister and intense. There are too many people who were proud in the past who want to maintain and expand their increasingly shaken power and interests in the midst of national disasters, and there are too many people who are unhappy in the past who want to take advantage of this opportunity to get ahead and replace the old magnates and become the new magnates. What's more, they have ambitions, and they have coveted the noble royal power that they did not dare to face up to in the past, and the focus is naturally not to defend the country against foreign enemies, but to seize the throne through internal friction, and it is normal to betray national interests and collude with foreign enemies for this reason.

This is the dynamic aspect of the middle and upper classes in troubled times.

The lower level, whether it is an official, a soldier or a civilian, not to mention whether he has the ability or not, but whoever has a little courage and dares to do it will have a greed that he did not dare to have before, taking advantage of the chaos of social order, the weakness of governance and supervision, or even the lack of position, and desperately trying to reap all the benefits he can reach, so that he can be more rich and powerful, and his family life is better, and even hope to be able to taste the enjoyment of the golden cup beauty drunk and dreaming of death of the superior people who never dared to think in the past. Smuggling, robbery, poisoning in black shops for money, framing colleagues...... All the ugly means you can think of and the unthinkable will appear, and as for corruption, it doesn't matter. The more daring grass people also dared to covet the imperial power and rebelled.

In troubled times, heroes are numerous, but at the same time, it is also a period of demons.

Who is the hero and who is the devil can not be judged by the morality in normal society, but depends on who can overcome the complicated and dangerous struggle to achieve the final victory. After all, history is written by the victors.

Then there is the devil, as long as he is the ultimate success and has the right to speak, then his ugly image will also be beautified and transformed into a bright and righteous hero.

In short, the more the country and the nation are in danger, the worse the interior, all beings are either confused, painful, numb, and drifting with the tide to live wherever it is, and after they die, they all show their magical powers, various forces have emerged, and all forces have their own leaders and interests, in the extremely tense social resources in the troubled times, you compete for me, the rules of demeanor and etiquette that were paid attention to in the past are gone, and they don't give in to each other, and they can't afford to let each other, whoever lets them become gray losers, it's not uncommon to be wiped out, and the infighting can't stop. Until the country's vitality was completely exhausted and it collapsed, well, there was no need to fight, the foreign enemy succeeded and became the new ruler.

The forces of all parties, which have exhausted the country, still cannot settle down, and they have to urgently turn into another kind of internal infighting -- competing to flatter and invite merit to the new ruler of the foreign enemy, and it is you who step on me, I harm you, you kill me all over the house, I destroy your whole clan, and do everything to win to become the person who the new ruler admires and trusts the most......

As for those people and forces who refuse to submit to the new ruler, under the harsh reality that no country can resist foreign enemies with the strength of a country when the state exists, it is natural that the tacit cooperation between the new ruler and the capitulation faction will inevitably perish under the fierce suppression of the tacit cooperation that there will be without the need for many words and collusion.

This is the people's heart, and it is the cruel law of history when the times are changing drastically.

This kind of terrible human heart and historical law, no one in the troubled times can escape the glue, and now with the demise of the Liao State, it is naturally fulfilled on the Yelu stone.

Talented and courageous, it seems to be more alternative among many pig-headed nobles, which also means that there is a certain threat, at least a certain competitiveness, Yelu Dashi is not appreciated by the emperor, nor is it co-opted and reused by the magnates, but it makes the royal family a little jealous, and is suppressed by the royal family and other magnates from time to time.

No one else can do it with straw bales, but you can.

What are you, be honest, don't think about jumping, and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have because of your royal status. Otherwise, hum......

Yelu Dashi not only has political acumen and military talents, but his own military strength is also good, and he is brave in battle, which has been shown in the battles he has participated in in the past. But he has always only appeared as a personal person who bravely served the country as a child of the royal family, although he naturally has a certain official position, but he has never led the army, but he is only a general of the army's combat department - except for his own personal soldiers and guards, there is no single soldier to call on the slaves.

In history, in a few years, the Liao State will be even worse, the capital Shangjing has long belonged to the Jin State, the southern Zhongjing has also fallen, the essence of the country has lost most of it, the country is in danger, the situation has been irretrievably corrupted, the pig's head that hinders Yelu Dashi has died a lot, there is an extreme shortage of excellent generals, and he has become more and more mature and old, only to gradually show his importance and become a real general, and in the increasingly severe war situation, the light and prestige are becoming more and more dazzling, and there are more and more followers, and he has become the best to speak.

Then, at this time, Yelu Dashi can only be aggrieved.

He despised the absurd and unwise Liao Emperor in his heart, hated those pig-headed nobles who only cared about the benefits under their noses, and thought that if they continued to toss like this, the proud Great Liao Kingdom would be defeated by these waste and ridiculous pigs sooner or later, and the noble Great Khitan nation would fall into the abyss of misery.

But he couldn't say anything, he was too shrewd to say it, it was useless to say it, no one would listen to his reminders and warnings.

He is just one of the many children of the royal family, and his martial arts are not the most outstanding, he can only be regarded as relatively strong, more powerful than Yelu Dashi Bow Horse, skilled in martial arts, and powerful children of the royal family, but there are at least ten or eight.

Coupled with the fact that he was feared that he might be ambitious, and was restricted to a certain extent, Yelu Dashi could only fight bravely with the army as a general with bitterness in the past.

But what if you kill a few more Jin soldiers bravely?

His anxieties and efforts were of no avail to his personal ambitions or to the nation of his country.

He is not a particularly capable fighter, and when he encounters a powerful Jin general opponent on the battlefield, he will be embarrassed by the defeat and embarrassment, and sometimes he will be ridiculed by the Liao strong.

But this time came the chance.

Nearly a million Liao troops are divided into so many thousand troops, and there are too many thousand commanders who dare to lead the team independently, but there are not so many suitable generals. The Liao State had to put those generals who were actually afraid of death and did not dare to participate in the war, but had some ability, and also forced them to top. In this case, a delicate royal family like Yelu Dashi actually dared to take the lead and take the initiative to apply to lead the team (risk to die), this time not to mention the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, even the pig-headed nobles who were in charge of the actual power naturally agreed, and praised and encouraged a few words.

Let the children of the royal family have a good noble and safe life, but you actually want to lead troops to fight?

Okay, whether you want to lead the army, want to be in power, want to be in the limelight, want to go crazy, whether you have ambition or not, this time it will be as you wish.

Do you think that the million-strong army will be able to defeat the little Jurchen when they enter the Jin Kingdom, and you will be able to make great contributions as one of them, and you will no longer have to succumb to it?

Heroic, daring, good, but naïve.

Jin Guo, that's the tiger wolf's den. The Jurchen population is small, and the whole is inferior to our army, but the local war is dangerous. The Jurchens are indeed more brave and good at fighting than our Liao army. You go deep into the Jin country alone, if you are unlucky enough to meet the main force of the Jin army that is frantically counterattacking, hehe, then your fate, uh-huh......

Still want to go? Don't change your mind?

Okay, there is a kind, it is a good man of my Great Khitan, we all support you, you can go with confidence.

Even if you are lucky enough to come back alive from the tiger and wolf's den, so what?

The power is still in our hands. We want you to hold on, and you have to be tired of holding back. What role can the remnants of the army you lead who may have also taken the opportunity to collect their hearts play when they come back?

It's just a team of thousands.

I don't know how many people will be left to come back completely.

This is the filthy psychological words of the Liao Emperor and many pig-headed magnates to Yelu Dashi.

They wish there were a few more royal children like Yelu Dashi to participate in the war.

All the children of the royal family who are not loyal and reliable and have the threat of competition will all die in the Jin Kingdom. In this way, the emperor was at ease. The aristocracy is also more down-to-earth and comfortable.

In this case, the children of the royal family who were conceited, brave and brave and loyal heard about Yelu Dashi's glorious deeds, and they also jumped out and took the initiative to apply to lead the team to participate in the war.

For example: Yelu Derong, the emperor's nephew who lived and led troops in the north of the Great Wall, Yelu Dehua, Yelu Dezhong, Yelu Dexin, Yelu Guozhen, and Yelu National Treasure.

Some of these royal children are shrewd, some are reckless, and they also have two mentalities.

The most typical and main mentality is: Yelu Dashi, can you be the only one in my royal family? I don't know how many times stronger my ability is than your Yelu Dashi, I can beat you several Yelu Dashi alone, in terms of the number of Jin Jun killed, I am much more than you, more experienced than you, and more courageous than you, what do I dare to do Yelu Dashi? You can't be in the limelight alone. I must not let the Emperor and his ministers and nobles think that I am inferior to you. I will not allow you to come back to weigh on me......

Another mentality is: Okay, Yelu Dashi, you are good, not just talking, you are truly loyal and brave to serve the country, and you are worthy of being my noble and proud son of the royal family of the Great Liao Kingdom. You are loyal and brave to risk your life, I admire you. But I'm not one of those martial artists in the royal family who brag and play tricks and only dare to be in the nest, let alone the bravery of my Great Khitan, who can't ride a fierce horse, can't ride a hard bow, can't kill the enemy on the battlefield, but is conceited, smart, reads, has a lot of poetry, calligraphy, lyrics and paintings, has great talents, has a pillar of power in governing the country, and is useless to study, I am not a soft egg, but also loyal and brave to serve the country, I will participate in the expedition with you, we will do a better job than anyone.

The distinction between these two mentalities is not very clear, and it is a tangled admiration and disobedience to Yelu Dashi.

These children of the imperial family are trusted by the Liao Emperor to help the rulers, and they are reluctant to let them take risks, but they can't stop it, otherwise it will be too cold for the hearts of other soldiers. If the soldiers knew that the emperor asked them to fight and die, but they were reluctant to take risks with the children of the royal family, then the morale of the army would be scattered, and who would be willing to go to Jin Guozhen and use his life?

If you have lost the battle, you don't need to go on the march.

The adult sons of the Liao Emperor are likely to become the heirs of the empire, and they really can't go deep into the enemy country to take risks, so as not to easily fold and let the empire have no heir, if they are caught by the Jin army, it will be even worse, not only will they lose the face of the Great Liao, but they will also be taken advantage of the opportunity by the Jin State to demonstrate and blackmail and fall into passivity, so it is understandable that the prince does not participate in the war. That's it.

But there must also be many capable royal sons to fight and die.

The Great Liao is first and foremost the Great Liao of the imperial family. The royal family itself is unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the country, so why should others sacrifice their lives to forget about the war?

This has invisibly become the voice of the whole army.

In the final analysis, the Jin army was too terrible in the hearts of the Liao people, and the Liao army participating in the war had great expectations for entering the Jin country and indulging in burning, killing and looting, but at the same time, it was always inevitable to be afraid.

Under the persecution of this call, Yelu Yanxi was also ruthless.

The aristocrats with real power tacitly cooperated with each other to recommend and force, and simply took the opportunity to take the opportunity to raise those children in the royal family who looked eyesore or whose families were useless and were usually difficult to deal with, such as straw bales that were purely a waste of the Great Liao Kingdom, regardless of whether they could fight all of them and forcibly enter the army.

"The country is in trouble, fortunately the heavens have rained down the grace, the Song country is weak, and the southern Xinjiang is worry-free, this, the good opportunity to save the decline of the Great Liao is in front of us, the opportunity cannot be lost, the time will not come again, it is the time when everyone in the Great Liao country is brave and hard. The children of my royal family are not those weak chickens in the Song Kingdom who can only read and play women in the deep palace high courtyard, as my Great Khitan people are also fast horses and grab knives, although they are from a noble background and are not easy to take risks, but at this critical time, they must also actively participate in the war and sacrifice themselves to kill the enemy for the country, otherwise they will only enjoy the grace of the country when they have the face of the rice worm? ”

This is the righteous and bright reason why the Liao Emperor used the mouths of many powerful people to force the children of the imperial family that he hated or wanted to abolish to participate in the war and send them to death.

It's a bit high-sounding, but it does conform to the people's will and the country's interests.

In order to motivate the morale of the army and silence the unlucky royal family, Yelu Yanxi simply sent several adult sons who he hated or ignored into the army to listen to the orders to fight.

All those who participate in the battle are all based on their ability, life and death are up to fate, and no one has any privilege in this battle.

At this time, even if he knew that Emperor Liao didn't care about the life or death of these sons, and even wished that they all died on the battlefield of the Jin Kingdom, no one could say anything.

But this also indirectly suffered some other royal families who were proud.

For example, the wolf lord and royal brother who lives in the south of the Great Wall are also the wolf lords, who are trustworthy and lead heavy troops, and are responsible for guarding the southern frontier of Yanshanfu Road and deterring the Cangbei army.

Yelude has four useful children: the eldest son Zongyun, the second son Zongdian, the third son Zonglei, and the fourth son Zonglin. All of them have skills, and they can be called brave and good generals.

He actively cooperated with the transfer of troops to the north, but he never thought of letting his four sons also participate in the northern expedition to adventure, but the prince all participated in the war, and the other children of the royal family who could fight participated in the war, how could his son be an exception, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the pain to send his four precious sons, and he could only select the elite of the headquarters to follow his son to have more safety and happiness.

Speaking of which, this trend was triggered by Yelu Dashi's head, which was a feat in the interests of the country and a good thing, but it inadvertently offended many people.

But, in any case, he finally had the opportunity to lead his own troops to fight.

Be independent and have the final say in everything.

Although it was only a thousand-man team, it was not the thousands of troops he hoped to command. But he can show his best leadership skills and show his true light.

For him, this is more important than anything else.

Troubled times are coming, it is useless to have a decent but powerless royal status, there must be soldiers and real power, and every opportunity must be seized to catch it.

I believe this is just the starting point.

It's just that he never expected that he would gain much greater results in this battle than he had boldly expected before the war.
