Chapter 0625 - Breaking the Mother and Going West
In order to ensure the status of the Yelu clan and the Xiao clan, the two clans have been intermarrying.
Yelu is the emperor, and Xiao is the queen.
According to historical records, Xiao Hui's sister Xiao Yunjin married Yelu Longxu of Liao Shengzong and gave birth to Yelu Zongzhen of Liaoxing Sect.
Then, Liao Xingzong Yelu Zong Zhen took Xiao Yunjin's other younger brother Xiao Xiaomu's daughter Xiao Tzuli, that is, his cousin, and gave birth to Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji.
Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong married Xiao Hui's youngest daughter Xiao Guanyin.
The relationship between the two races can be said to be very chaotic.
Of course, the current Xiao Hui doesn't know that he will be an old woman, and he is still a talented woman, and he is now focused on the war.
Hearing that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had named him as a general, Xiao Hui decisively stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say a few days ago that this war is not suitable for luring the enemy into depth?"
Why lure the Song army on the front line of Yanmen Pass to enter Daliao? ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said in a deep voice: "The enemy has a weapon in his hand, and he cannot be defeated. But if you leave it alone, it will become a big disaster. Therefore, it is better to lure the enemy deep and contain them in the territory of our Great Liao.
That way, we'll be free to do more. ”
Xiao Hui groaned: "But Cao Wei stayed in Tongtai Pass and closed the door. The enemy on the front line of Yanmen Pass is invincible, so how can my Daliao win? ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said lightly: "The key to victory is not in Yanyun's territory. ”
Xiao Hui said suspiciously: "Where is that?" ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said indifferently: "You will know when the time comes." ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu refused to say, Xiao Hui naturally did not dare to chase and ask, and immediately returned to the train.
After the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu announced that he was dissolved.
Xiao Hui left the palace, took some people with him, and left Youzhou City with Huang Pian.
……
Half a month has passed.
Cao Wei was closed in Tongtai Pass, and Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was also closed in Youzhou City.
Zhuozhou and Youzhou are as calm as if there is no army stationed.
However, the war on the front line of Yanmen Pass and Dadingfu was in full swing.
After Yang Wenguang defeated the 100,000-strong army led by Yeluye, Li Zhaoliang did not order a pursuit.
Instead, they chose to let those soldiers and horses go back and pass on the panic they felt to others.
The results of Li Zhaoliang's move are very gratifying.
After the soldiers and horses who retreated told the others about the scene they met in front of Yanmen Pass, it really caused panic among the Liao army.
The Liao army knew that Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang had divine weapons in their hands, and their lethality was very amazing.
However, such a strong enemy, if they want to fight them, their hearts are beating drums, and their morale is very low.
Li Zhaoliang saw the opportunity, and together with Yang Wenguang, the troops divided into two routes, raided Shuozhou, and conquered the entire Shuozhou.
By the time Xiao Hui arrived at Dading Mansion, Shuozhou was already full of Songzi banners.
Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang conquered Shuozhou, but they saved Xiao Hui from acting out another deceitful play.
But before the people arrived, Shuozhou was conquered, and he always felt that it was not a taste in his heart.
He had the heart to fight Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang head-on, but considering the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's order to lure the enemy deeper, he could only stand still.
In a flash, another half a month passed.
Xiao Hui was defeated in Huanzhou and lost Huanzhou.
Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang conquered Yizhou again.
The Great Song Dynasty took the land of the Sixteen Prefectures and Three Prefectures of Yanyun.
After the incident was reported back to Bianjing, there was a celebration inside and outside the government.
Some people in the court saw that Cao Wei hadn't moved for a month, so they had the idea of letting Cao Wei move.
After all, the partial division led by Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang took the land of two states, but the Chinese army led by you Cao Wei only occupied the land of one state, which is obviously a little inappropriate.
It's just that those people in the court handed over the notebook, and they were called into the palace by Zhao Zhen to question them properly.
……
Do you know about military affairs?
I don't understand!
I don't understand what you're yelling about? Again shouting, distribution!
Do you know about military affairs?
Understand!
Then you go to the army and see why Cao Wei doesn't move.
Can you give a guard of honor?
gave you the Qincha honor guard, can you suppress Cao Wei, or can you suppress Lu Yijian?
……
Zhao Zhen beat him again and again, and obeyed the people who handed over the book in the court.
It's just that as time went by, Zhao Zhen's voice that he had just suppressed floated again.
Because whether it is Cao Wei, or Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang, who have fought and won successes, they have all stopped fighting.
After Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang took Shuo and Huan Erzhou, they also stopped.
Nearly 300,000 troops, in the land of Yanyun, are consuming with the Liao people, not advancing or retreating, and spending a lot of money and food every day, naturally some people can't stand it.
It's just that those who are careful and thoughtful in the court have learned to be obedient this time.
He didn't play it himself, but instigated others to play it.
Then those people were all sent to the battlefield in the land of Yanyun.
Those who were sent to the battlefield in the Land of Smoke and Clouds were very aggrieved.
Xiao Hui felt even more aggrieved.
After he completed the order of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to lure the enemy into depth, he was ready to teach Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang a lesson.
Although the hundred tigers are sharp, it is not enough to sweep the entire battlefield.
Xiao Hui felt that it was an unwise choice to collide with the hundred tigers head-on, and only a reckless man would do it.
He was going to send soldiers and horses to drag Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang who were holding the soldiers and horses running together, and then constantly harass the baggage team behind the two.
In order to drag down the soldiers and horses of Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang.
It's just that Xiao Hui is ready for everything, but Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang are huddled in Huanzhou and refuse to go out.
The strategies that Xiao Hui thought of were in vain.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu did not give him any further orders, so he could only accompany Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang to do the work.
"It's not normal!"
"It's not normal at all!"
On the gate in Tongtai Pass, Cao Wei frowned, pacing in front of the city gate building, and kept muttering in his mouth.
Di Qing also frowned and stood beside him.
"Cao Shuai ......"
"Huh?!"
As soon as Di Qing opened his mouth, Cao Wei furrowed his brows.
Di Qing smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Uncle Yue, why do you say that Liaohuang Yelu Longxu's ass is so stable?" ”
It stands to reason that the military should be commensurate with official positions, and should not be judged on personal matters.
But Cao Wei insisted that Di Qing call him uncle in law, and Di Qing could only let it go.
The reason why Cao Wei recognized Di Qing, the son-in-law of the Cao family, for the first time, and strongly asked Di Qing to call him uncle in law was related to his discoveries in recent days.
After Cao Wei had the intention of cultivating wise generals and Confucian generals, he had the heart to choose one or two from among the people under him.
Then, a group of muscular guys with their heads full of pimples petitioned to lead the troops to attack the camp of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu head-on, and they were not willing to listen to Cao Wei's strategy of those more esoteric soldiers and horses.
Di Qing is the only one who likes to listen to what he says, and more importantly, Di Qing can understand it at all, and he can even draw inferences.
Cao Wei used to teach Di Qing that in martial arts, it was a teaching of all his money, and in the art of war and strategy, it was slightly hidden.
It's not that he is selfish, but he is worried that Di is young and can't learn so many things.
After all, he hadn't taught Di Qing for a long time, so he could only pick up some life-saving things and give them to Di Qing first.
Therefore, he did not find Di Qing's wisdom in the art of war and strategy.
Now that he had the heart to teach Di Qing some more esoteric strategies, he discovered Di Qing's talent in this area.
Such a talented person, who is also his relative, and has a good relationship with Kou Ji, as long as nothing goes wrong in the future, it is very likely that he will become the leader of the Great Song Dynasty military.
Then you can't get close and close?
He is old and already feels powerless, so he naturally has to pave the way for his children and grandchildren.
Cao Wei heard Di Qing's words, frowned and said, "It stands to reason that Shuozhou and Huanzhou have been attacked, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu should not stand still." But now that Shuozhou and Huanzhou have been breached for a month, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has not moved, and it is obviously a little abnormal. ”
Di Qing groaned: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has other conspiracies? ”
Cao Wei nodded solemnly, "That's inevitable, otherwise Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu would not be able to sit so peacefully." ”
Cao Wei stared at Di Qing and said, "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu can sit still like this, then what he plans is very likely to change the current situation on the battlefield in an instant." ”
Di Qing frowned and said, "Turning defeat into victory?" ”
Cao Wei nodded slowly.
Di Qing groaned: "The soldiers and horses of the Liao State are all blocked by us from Xiongguan and the city, how can he turn defeat into victory? ”
Cao Wei said in a deep voice: "The Liao people are the best at turning defeat into victory, before my Great Song Dynasty conquered the Liao State three times, and the Liao State turned defeat into victory. So the conspiracy of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu must have the possibility of reversing? ”
Di Qing asked: "With the current situation, how can Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu turn the tables?" ”
Cao Wei pondered: "It's nothing more than two points, the first is to hit the west, and the second is to disintegrate us from the inside. There is little chance of disintegrating us from within, and the official family and Kou Ji are now fully supporting us in our campaign, and it is impossible to change it halfway.
The two of them remain unchanged, and those voices in the court will not affect us.
I can't say for sure the temperament of the official, but I know the temperament of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji has always been tough on the countries outside of the Great Song Dynasty.
He will never look at us and bow down to others when we have the upper hand.
So he's going to support us in the fight."
The official family is very close to Kou Ji, and most of the money and grain we spent on the Liao State this time were obtained by Kou Ji.
Therefore, if Kou Ji supports us wholeheartedly, the official family should not waver.
So this one that disintegrates us from within can be ruled out.
All that's left is to make a noise. ”
Di Qing digested Cao Wei's words a little and asked, "How will Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu attack the west?" The place where my Great Song Dynasty now borders the Liao State is only Yanyun.
We are waiting for him in the land of Yanyun now, and it is impossible for him to plan anything in the land of Yanyun. ”
Cao Wei nodded slowly and said, "This is also something I can't figure out." Now the only place bordering the Liao Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty has heavy troops, and it is difficult for the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to do anything in this regard. Even if you succeed, it will be difficult to turn the tables.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to plan in the land of Yanyun.
You can only plan elsewhere.
All I can think of at the moment is the sea.
It's just that the sea ships of the Liao Kingdom are more than a star and a half worse than my Great Song Dynasty.
The army came on a boat, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
And if we had come from the sea, we would have gotten the news a long time ago. ”
Di Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Will the Liao Kingdom borrow from Western Xia?" ”
Cao Wei was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "I have also thought about this matter. But if Xixia borrowed the Tao to Liao, what was the difference between luring a wolf into the house? With the current situation of Western Xia, it is okay to strictly guard against the invasion of the Liao State, and dare to let the Liao soldiers enter the country, afraid that they will not die fast enough? ”
Di Qing groaned: "What if the Xixia people have other plans? ”
Cao Wei asked, "What abacus?" ”
Di Qing said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the calculation is, but I know that this time my Great Song and Liao Kingdom can start a war, and Western Xia has played a role in it." ”
When Cao Wei heard this, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character for a moment.
He thought about it for a long time, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "Xixia wants me to keep fighting between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, so as to buy them some time. But on what basis did he think that after letting the Liao people cross the border, the Liao people would be able to invade our Great Song Dynasty?
The Zhejia army in Fuzhou is vegetarian? ”
Cao Wei pondered for a long time with a gloomy face, paced down the city wall, and found Lu Yijian.
"Lu Xiang, what has happened to the folded family in recent days?"
After hearing Cao Wei's words, Lu Yijian was stunned for a long time, and said suspiciously: "Why did you suddenly think of the Zhe family?" Do you want to use the Folding Army to plan something? ”
Cao Wei said in a deep voice: "I didn't think about what to plan by borrowing the Zhejia army, but I was afraid that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu would borrow the Zhejia army to plan something." ”
Lu Yijian's face changed, and he was shocked and said, "Has the folded family changed?!" No way! The family has been loyal and brave for generations! ”
Cao Wei's face was a little dark, "I didn't doubt the loyalty of the Zhe family, I just felt that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's reaction was a little abnormal, so I speculated that he might want to do something to the Zhe family, but I don't know if the Zhe family can stand it." ”
Lu Yijian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, glared at Cao Wei, and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhe Weizhong is in the prime of life, the Zhe family army can fight well, and the Zhe family has stuck to Fuzhou and other places, and there has been no omission for decades.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu hasn't moved the Broken Family Army, and every time he doesn't return with a feather? ”
Cao Wei said with a solemn expression: "People like us who have been running around on the battlefield all year round must not be treated with common sense. So if you have any news of the folded family, it is better to tell me. If not, send someone back to check as soon as possible.
I'm afraid it's too late, it's too late. ”
Lu Yijian saw that Cao Wei's expression was solemn, not like he was joking, so he immediately nodded and said, "I'll send someone to investigate." ”
The people sent by Lu Yijian had just left the territory of Zhuozhou when they bumped into the people sent by the imperial court.
The people sent out by Lu Yijian inquired and learned that Zhe's mother went west, and Zhe Weizhong wrote to the imperial court to temporarily remove his official title, and he wanted to keep filial piety for his mother for three years.
When the people sent by Lu Yijian heard the news, they immediately sent someone back to Tongtai Pass and told Lu Yijian about the matter.
After Lu Yijian told Cao Wei about this, Cao Wei's face was bloodless.
