567.The Uproar (4)

Wu Yong was then semi-placed under house arrest in Yeluchun's palace, and Yeluchun rushed to Liaozhongjing to meet the emperor of Liao, and at the same time sent people to learn the details of the Tiandao army on Jingdong Road of the Song State through various channels.

In September of the previous year, Aguda led his troops to capture Huanglongfu, an important town in the Tokyo Province of Daliao, Huanglongfu is the location of the treasury of Daliao, which is very important, the emperor of Liao led the main force of 300,000 Liao troops, known as 700,000 royal drivers, and Aguda also personally led 20,000 Jin soldiers to wait.

Even if the Liao army is not really 700,000, but with 300,000 against 20,000, it should be a war without suspense, who expected, on the eve of the decisive battle, the Liao army capital supervisor Yelu Zhangnu launched a coup d'Γ©tat, led his troops straight to Beijing, and prepared to support the cousin of the Liao emperor, the king of Wei, Yelu Chun, as the emperor. Fortunately, Yeluchun did not betray the emperor of Liao, the emperor of Liao also quelled the rebellion from the west of the front, although the rebellion of Zhang Nu was suppressed, but Aguda took advantage of the opportunity of the emperor of Liao to retreat westward, concentrated his forces to pursue its backbone, and launched a tidal attack, overnight, the Liao army of 300,000 troops was defeated, the dead stretched for hundreds of miles, and even the emperor of Liao almost became a prisoner of the Jin soldiers, so far, the Liao completely lost the initiative in the eastern Liaodong region,

The trouble is not only this, because the emperor of the Liao State has been drunk and addicted to music since he ascended the throne, the birds are all in a famine, the appointment of traitorous ministers, the expulsion of virtuous people, has already led to many domestic contradictions, and since the Agu against the Liao army, the Liao Emperor in order to raise money and food to start a war, but also further rampant expropriation, conscription and food, oppress the people, coincided with the two years of famine in Liao, the people were hungry, peeled the bark to eat, and even the phenomenon of cannibalism, the people everywhere, especially the Han people, could not live happily, for a time the people were in turmoil, a large number of Han people raised the banner against Liao, Rebelled against Khitan rule. Among them, the larger scale is Dong Pang'er, An Sheng'er, Zhang Gao'er, the six brothers of mildew and other rebel armies, everywhere the rebels from all walks of life go, hungry refugees flocked to participate, in a short period of time gathered more than 100,000 people, the Liao State in order to quell the rebellion, adopted a bloody suppression strategy, but in the past six months, the number of rebels is not less, but rapidly expanded to hundreds of thousands, they have also learned, the Liao army can beat the swarm to fight, can not beat on the scattered and fled, the Liao army around the country is tired of running, miserable.

On the one hand, the war with Jin was unfavorable and Liaodong was lost. On the one hand, there was civil unrest in the country, the suppression was ineffective, and the Liao State fell into an unprecedented crisis, but I did not expect that at this critical moment, the Jin State actually sent a peace envoy to the Liao State, and wanted to take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Liao State.

The main battle faction believes that this is just a delaying tactic of the Jin State, and Ah Guda's move is just to gain time to consolidate the Liaodong that it has just defeated, and after they are full of wings and full preparation, they will definitely launch an attack on Da Liao again, Da Liao must not be fooled, and should take advantage of its unstable foothold in Liaodong to launch a big war again, and defeat the gold thieves in one fell swoop, as for the domestic rebellion, it is just a group of mud legs who can't eat to make trouble, since they can't kill it, they have already been appeased, as long as they are given a bite to eat, give a way to work, who will make trouble again?

The main and faction thought that even if Ah Guta used a delaying tactic against Da Liao, it was not a rare respite for Da Liao? Now that the civil unrest is raging in the country, and the thief army is huge, how to mobilize troops against the gold thieves in this situation? Once a major war arises, there will inevitably be chaos in the rear. At present, Daliao should do its best to suppress the domestic rebellion first, and only after the domestic situation is stable and there are no worries can he concentrate on dealing with the gold thieves.

The two sides quarreled with each other, and the emperor of Liao was also undecided, of course he wanted to destroy the Jin State and recapture Liaodong, but the fiasco that almost killed him a year ago had already imprinted an indelible fear in his heart, and at this time, news came from outside the palace that the king of Qin and Jin and Yeluchun who stayed in Nanjing came to ask for a meeting,

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was fortunate that his uncle Yeluchun was loyal to him and killed his relatives in righteousness, so that he discovered Yeluzhangnu's attempt as soon as possible and avoided a catastrophe. He was not only loyal, but also resourceful, and he came just in time to listen to his advice.

The emperor immediately summoned Yeluchun in the main hall in front of the Manchu civil and military to show his favor to Yeluchun.

The arrival of Yeluchun also brought different touches to the two major factions in the DPRK and China, and the main battle faction was secretly happy in their hearts, because although Yeluchun rarely expressed his position, many people knew that he supported the war against Jin. Although the peace faction was a little worried, they were not particularly worried, because they knew the emperor's character and knew that the emperor actually hoped for an armistice and peace in his heart, otherwise, if he was really so unafraid of war, why did he hesitate so far?

Yeluchun went to the palace, he bowed respectfully to the emperor, the emperor smiled and immediately ordered someone to move the seat, so that Yeluchun became the only minister who could sit in the main hall, Yeluchun sat down, and the emperor asked him how to deal with the matter of Jin Guo wanting to negotiate peace,

Ye Luchun immediately replied, "Your Majesty, we absolutely cannot negotiate peace, we must go to war against the gold thieves, and we must start a war as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, Ye Luchun's previous attitude towards the outside world has always been ambiguous, and he has never made a clear statement, what is wrong with this today, as soon as he came up, he made such a statement?

The emperor was also very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Uncle Huang say this?" ”

Ye Luchun immediately took out an object from his arms and raised his hand, "Your Majesty, the minister just got this thing, this is a handwritten letter from the Emperor of the Song State to Aguta, the Song State is ready to secretly form an alliance with the gold thieves to deal with us, intending to capture our Nanjing and Xijing!" ”

These words shocked everyone like a bombshell, and the emperor was also shocked, and immediately ordered someone to take the letter and read it.

Ye Luchun replied with certainty, "The origin of this letter is a long story, but the minister has already found someone to identify it, and this letter is definitely a personal letter from the Emperor of the Song Kingdom!" The minister also learned that now the Song State had sent someone to Liaodong by sea in the name of trade, and was currently in secret talks with the gold thief! The Song State is strong, with an annual income of 10,000,000 and a million troops, and has been a thief to my Erjing for more than 100 years. Our top priority is to take advantage of the gold thief's unstable foothold in Liaodong as soon as possible to send troops to destroy Jin, otherwise once the gold thief completely controls Liaodong and Song and Jin join forces again, these two thieves will form a north-south attack on our country, and then the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us! ”

The emperor was silent when he heard this, and the ministers of the main battle faction were very excited, secretly saying that it was no wonder that the old prince did not express his position easily before, it turned out that he was waiting for this most critical moment, and he really didn't make a move, and as soon as he made a move, it was a thunderbolt, with this handwritten letter from the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, our main battle faction will occupy an overwhelming advantage,

The ministers of the Lord and the faction looked at each other, they knew very well that what Ye Luchun said was by no means alarmist, Jin may not have dared to plot too much against Da Liao before, but with the support of the behemoth of Song State, their ambitions will be infinitely inflated, once they and Song State launched a two-sided attack on Da Liao at the same time, coupled with the severe rebellion situation in Liao State, Da Liao's situation will be extremely dangerous, although they still think that Da Liao should first put down the rebellion in the country, but they don't dare to speak more, because no one can afford that responsibility.

Yeluchun and all the ministers looked at the emperor, waiting for him to give the order to fight against Jin, but to everyone's surprise, the emperor was still looking at the letter in a daze, as if he was distracted, and after a long time, the emperor put down the letter and said, "Retreat from the court, Rong Zhen think again." ”

Ye Luchun and the ministers of the main station faction were stunned, do you want to think again? The situation is already so obvious, is there anything else to "think again"?

The hearts of the lords and the ministers of the faction were all moved, and they all sensed an unusual manifestation of the emperor.

Early the next morning, the emperor really announced a decision that shocked everyone......!
