Section 267 Sweep North 31
Yelu Yanxi, the king of Liao, read the letter at a glance, and then carefully re-looked at the key points of concern......
His heart was terrified,
Sure enough, the entire Yanyun region has fallen under the pirate soldiers;
and resentment and anxiety,
It's not that he hates King Yan and others for their shameless surrender, nor does he hate that no one came to ventilate and report the news, but those people just want to give him a timely report and the horse has no ability, this King of Liao can imagine it, and it can be understood, the annoyance and anxiety is that Ye Luchun is rushing to transport grain and salt and only caring about himself, but the first to suffer is also the first to benefit.
Yelu Yanxi is an absurd emperor, but he is not a fool to play with power, and his political acumen is not low, so he immediately thought of the political importance of controlling food at this juncture, and also understood the terrible political intentions that may be hidden behind the fact that King Yan and other upper-level bigwigs of the Liao State organized all forces to desperately rush food to their homes.
...... At this time, no, no, after the return of the expeditionary army, I am afraid that whoever has the most food and salt will have the greatest authority......
After the catastrophe in Daliao, the political pattern is afraid to be reshuffled.
He, the Supreme Wolf Lord, was still not a well-spoken emperor at that time...... Tsk, it seems that there is no need to analyze and think too much. Without food, salt and food are nothing.
Who doesn't want to sit on this supreme throne if they have the opportunity to ascend to the throne!
Yelu Yanxi did not doubt the bad situation of the Liao Kingdom mentioned in the letter, nor did he doubt what the pirate prince promised.
In the end, he is the emperor of the horseback nation, not the Song Emperor who has been trapped in the capital and trapped in the palace all his life, who is dull and naΓ―ve and ignorant of external affairs, and can only listen to everything and can only rely on the reports and analysis and judgment of the people below to help make the constitution.
Objectively, there is no need to analyze and question it.
The pirates were able to raid quietly and raid this time, and the fact that they had come here already explained everything.
Whether the pirates have arranged an army of 300,000 in Yanyun, is the pirate prince alarmist, and whether the pirates really want to take advantage of the way to eradicate the Great Xia Kingdom, judging that this has no practical significance to the current crisis, because the pirates who come will definitely not be less.
Don't look at the Liao State pouring troops to plague the Jin State, causing the internal guards to be empty, but it is not easy to provoke.
At least Yanshan Mansion has 100,000 border troops to defend against the Cangbei Army, as well as a lot of soldiers guarding the Great Wall checkpoints and various cities, plus the many Liao people who returned from the north to escort the results of the war, they are also equipped with weapons and do not lack the courage to defend the wealth of the results in battle...... This kind of force is either scattered or concentrated, and if the pirates do not have sufficient superior forces, it is impossible to spread out to deal with everywhere, and it is impossible to take care of the main purpose of the great looting while cleaning up the Liao army.
Yelu Yanxi was frightened by the terrible situation, he had already been frightened by the Jurchens, and he had long lost the arrogant overlord of the past and the will to resolutely resist aggression and win to maintain the supreme face of the overlord, he was not a strong-willed hero, his body and mind were rotten, and when he encountered danger, he only thought about how to escape and avoid, such a plaything, at this moment, when he read Zhao Yue's letter, he was suddenly frightened by the prospect that he was very likely to be arrested as a miner, But he was also greatly moved by the Pirate Prince's promise to get rid of the intertwined old aristocratic forces and the territory of the Bai Dexia Kingdom that he had been unable to clean up in the past, and even a little uncontrollable excitement and anticipation.
Don't look at him as a ridiculous emperor, but he looks down on and hates those pig-headed nobles who are as ridiculous as him, and who are useless to the country but will only be a scourge.
In his heart, these people only care about selfish interests, and they have no country and no other emperor in their eyes, and they are only greedy and shameless for pleasure, ruining state affairs, ruining the unity and combat effectiveness of the Great Liao warriors, and losing the overlord of the Great Liao...... As a result, the small tribes of the savage Jurchen dared to rebel and successfully rebelled, and rode to the head of the Great Liao State to show off their might......
They should have been killed a long time ago, but unfortunately they couldn't be killed before.
Otherwise, if these old forces join forces to fight back, he, the emperor, will not want to go now......
If you can get the territory of the Xia Kingdom, you will have the most ideal place to hide from the edge of the beast Jin Army, and there will be no more damned aristocratic forces that are in the way, and they have repeatedly misled the country, repeatedly ruined the military morale of the Great Liao warriors, and repeatedly blocked him, the supreme wolf lord, from being unhappy...... Well, it's safe, there's it, Da Liao has no stubborn disease in the old and has risen again......
While he was thinking fiercely and quickly, many of the top nobles and dignitaries gathered under the king's tent were nervously watching the wolf lord's reaction.
They saw that the wolf lord's face was terrified and angry for a while, frowning and thinking for a while, and seemed to be excited or something, and then trembling with fear......
I couldn't understand what the pirate prince said on such a small piece of paper, and it could cause such a fierce and colorful change in the wolf lord's expression.
This only makes them more nervous and anxious, and also ...... There is more anticipation.
What exactly does the letter say?
Finally, there was a non-royal noble old guy who was high enough in seniority and prestige, old enough, and powerful enough in the clan to stand up and ask: "Wolf lord, what did the pirate arrogant in the letter?" Why don't you tell everyone about it and discuss it? β
Yelu Yanxi raised his head from the fierce calculation when he heard this, glanced at the old guy, and saw that the old guy was standing there trembling slightly, but his momentum was not small, urging (pressing) him to be the emperor was also upright, his face was respectful and honest, but he was not afraid at all, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of disgust: he was confident that he was powerful, and he relied on the old man to sell the old ...... Damn old thing......
Thinking about the promise in the letter, he couldn't help but secretly and viciously said: "In the past, I was always selfish and wantonly, daring to be disrespectful to me, and daring to make me unhappy. Let's all die this time......"
He had made up his mind to surrender and compromise for the time being, and the time given by the pirates was short, and he could not afford to hesitate and waste time. He pretended to be angry, tore the letter to pieces, threw it on the ground, and rubbed it so hard that anyone who picked up the crumbs could not piece together the contents of the letter that no one could know.
"Damn!"
With a loud roar, Yelu Yanxi sat back on the throne with a snort, and took a few breaths before scanning the ministers and saying, "What else can you say?" Nothing more than threats and promises of benefits. β
Under the concern of the ministers and the details, he gave a general explanation of the important points that could be said.
The pirate gave only half an hour to reply. The situation is critical, there are no reinforcements from outside, there is no way out, time is pressing, everyone, what should we do? β
to lose the treasure of gold and silver......
To lose the beloved beauty, BMW......
To lose ......
It hurts too much.
These dignitaries and nobles are naturally reluctant to do 10,000, and 10 million are unwilling: who cares if Western Xia is destroyed....... The pirates have made compensation, how much benefit can the Liao State get from it? Liao is not my home. The Liao country is not my family's benefit. I only knew that if I promised the pirates, my house would be empty, and I would not have a good life. It's ripping out my heart......
But what if you are reluctant or unwilling?
Resist and disobey, can you beat the pirates?
In case of......
It was terrible to be slaughtered and used as coolie mining......
Naturally, it froze there.
The old guys, who cursed angrily, spit and flew around, and were empty and weak with wine and pleasure, were also excited at this moment....... Quarreling and arguing, but certainly not having a clear idea, time flies, and the time for the pirate limit is almost up in the blink of an eye......
Just when some shouted that they couldn't agree, we are the fearless sons and daughters of the Great Khitan heroes, brave and warlike warriors, and fought with pirates; Some shouted: how can you not easily succumb to it, so easy to cheapen the damned pirates; Some shouted...... , suddenly, there were several muffled noises in the distance and the subsequent terrified shouts of the Liao army.
...... What's going on?
It's not time yet, what's the panic outside?
It was only then that Xiao Delidi stood up and reported: "Wolf Lord, this is the pirate's demon magic thunder, which is infinitely powerful, and it is not something that people can resist at all. A few rings before the letter, it was a demon, easily blowing up our car formation's defenses, and destroying all the crossbow beds that were preparing to plot against the pirate prince. There is a gap in the camp, and pirates can come in at any time......"
...... Ahh
Yelu Yanxi and a group of dignitaries were so shocked that they lost their voices together, so that they could not be choked to death by their own saliva.
After a few moments of stiffness, there were stubborn people who sacrificed their lives and wealth and shouted: "What about the demon law? Evil does not prevail over good, and there is always a way to deal with it. We have so many warriors and manpower, the car formation is just ruining a little gap, how can we not plug it......"
Someone responded, "Yes." Can't give in. We have the strength. Fight with him. The minister is willing to fight to the death to repay the king's society......"
......
Yelu Yanxi watched these people jumping up and down shouting happily, and instead of rejoicing, she couldn't help but feel more and more disgusted.
Look at your drunken and unsteady appearance of riding a horse, and you still fight? Willing to die...... Do you have the ability and the guts?
Fighting the Jurchens has been defeated again and again, isn't it caused by you wastes and family children always taking the lead in escaping on the battlefield to erode the will of the army?
What's wrong? Now that your property and self-interest are touched, do you have the courage?
Still excited?
It's all useless nonsense, not letting me be moved by loyalty and serving the country, but only making me more and more despised......
In his heart, he was thinking viciously about how to clean up these wastes with the hands of pirates, but Yelu Yanxi praised him: "Okay, Zhong Aiqing is loyal and brave." I will allow you to be the vanguard and lead the warriors of my headquarters to fight first. β
β...... Ahem......"
The cheerful ones immediately coughed, and none of them responded, and then stopped calling, but they were obviously unwilling, and still glared to show their resolute opposition to submission.
Just as the ugly drama in the king's tent was more and more lively, a few screams suddenly pierced the air, and exploded near the king's tent, and the pirate demon magic came, blowing up a luxurious tent and the unlucky people in the tent, and also killing several people of the king's tent guarding near the bomb point.
This is a pirate demonstrating long-range strike capabilities.
Don't think that you can be safe and okay if you hide in the depths of the camp and have someone else in front of you to die.
Clever and portable mortars do not have a long range compared to cannons, but they can also hit three miles or even farther. More than 100,000 people are crowded in this place, firing cannons from all sides, and the camp is not an auspicious place blessed by God......
And in the distance of the Liao Wang camp, there was even more fright, and the shouts were chaotic and loud. This time, the pirate Quartet army opened fire, bombarding the chariot formation and the guards behind the car, killing and wounding many slaves and other cannon fodder who were blocking the cavalry charge in front, and also killed some royal tent troops a little behind......
As the danger of the battle was urgently reported, the king's tent was finally quiet.
The guys who originally shouted "My big Liao boy swears not to retreat" saw that they were hiding behind and driving others to prevent disasters and send them to death, and they were all dumb......
One by one, they were so frightened that their faces were pale.
There are a few guys who are too weak to die, and they can't stand the fright, plus they are extremely heartbroken and are very likely to lose all their wealth...... In a hurry, his eyes rolled and fell to the ground.
The rest of them all looked at the outside of the king's tent in horror, for fear that the pirates would smash the demon magic thunder directly to the King of Liao, so that they would ascend to heaven with them......
Dead, gold, silver, jewelry, wine, beauty, and treasures' glory and wealth...... If you can't take it to the underworld, it's all gone.
Still extremely unwilling, but what can be done?
"When the time comes, to fight, or not to fight?"
Yelu Yanxi's face was also pale and frightened, but he still tried to stay calm and calm, and asked everyone like this very artistically.
β......β
No one squeaked.
No one will bear the stigma and guilt of advocating surrender. Everyone can be rich and glorious, and they are naturally all more refined than monkey spirits.
At such a time, it is still the courtiers who have their own cuteness.
Xiao Delidi took the initiative to stand up and actively respond to the wolf master's words (urging questions), breaking the deadlock and the wolf owner's embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, whether to fight or not to settle first. His Majesty will take everyone to meet the prince in person, and it will not be too late to stop the pirate attack first. β
Good idea.
There is no reason for anyone to object. There's no better way for anyone.
That's all there is to it.
It can be delayed for a while. Maybe it's dragged and dragged on, and the turning point will come?
My Great Liao Kingdom is not easy to bully, and there are countless soldiers and horses outside to rush back......
Although they knew that the expeditionary force was too far away from here, and they were scattered guerrillas in the Jin country or the steppe Gobi, they could not be quickly notified that they could effectively gather troops to rush back to fight the fire, and they knew that even if the army could get the news in time, when they rushed back, this place would have been wiped out by the powerful offensive of the pirates, but this did not delay the expectations of these dignitaries.
In times of crisis, can you still allow the victim to have some illusions of self-comfort?
Expecting a miracle in the midst of danger and despair is the most normal human psychological reaction. Besides, the King of Liao still has a conspiracy and wants to give it a try.
So the dignitaries rumbled on their horses and hurried to the side where the pirate prince was. There are also people who are quickly organizing and launching a conspiracy......
After arriving at the car formation, Yelu Yanxi saw the tragic appearance of the artillery bombardment and saw the power of the Heavenly Thunder Demon Law with his own eyes, his face became more and more ugly, and he knew more clearly that the camp was afraid that he would not be able to hold it at all.
He showed the supreme grandeur of the Heavenly Empire, raised his chin and looked at the eye-catching pirate prince opposite, and asked loudly: "Prince Bao, this wolf lord came to meet you, I just want to ask you face to face, you pirates are conceited and brave and invincible, and fight with my Daliao warriors, can you only rely on weapons?" β
When Zhao Yue heard this, his mind moved, and he responded with a smile: "Doesn't the King of Liao want to fight with my pirates?" β
"Exactly."
Yelu Yanxi stiffened his head and said: "What kind of ability is it to be powerful with weapons? What I respect most in the Great Liao Kingdom is the warriors, and only the real warriors are served. Do you dare to compare? β
"How do you compare?"
Zhao Yue still smiled: "Compare the fighting formation, don't wait." There is no time to waste. This king also did not want to sacrifice the lives of his soldiers in vain. The lives of our people are extremely precious, and they are not used for gambling. Besides, if you die a soldier, the price you have to pay in Liao will be several times more. It is not enough to compensate for property alone, but also to pay several times the amount of life. β
β......β
The King of Liao was silent for a while before he said, "Then fight the general." How is it? β
"Okay."
Zhao Yue agreed very happily, "But it's also meaningless to waste time." β
"Save time, we can set off as soon as possible to exterminate the arrogant and accustomed Xiao Xixia who no longer knows what awe is, so good for me and you, for both things. If you want to compare, we will decide the winner. Thou hast sent thy kingdom the best to fight. lest you lose again and have an excuse to disobey. This king will not allow you to delay and delay and play useless, and the careful eye will waste time. β
β...... Good. Deal. β
"I hope you pirates are as true to your word as always, but don't lose and turn your face with your weapons."
Yelu Yanxi agreed happily and confidently.
Because he happened to have the most powerful warrior in the Liao Kingdom by his side-Wu Yanguang.
Wu Yanguang has become famous, and he has never met an opponent in a single fight.
Whether it is a well-known Zahu hero or a conceited and invincible Jurchen warrior, he has never met a strong man who can clean up the vultures in singles.
