688, Battle of the Daimyofu (4)

This time, he led the 200,000 troops of Nanjing Province to the Song Dynasty to participate in the war was the famous Liao general Yelu Dashi, Yelu Dashi is the ninth grandson of Taizu, and the great Liao royal family of Zheng'er Bajing,

But it can also be seen from this that his identity as a "royal family" must be traced back to at least eight generations, so the kinship between him and the current emperor is not much closer than that between Liu Bei and Emperor Han Xian, and the family of Yelu Dashi's family has fallen since I don't know how many generations, his ancestors did not occupy a high position or prominent because of the identity of the "royal family", and when it was passed on to Yelu Dashi's generation, his way out could only be by his own hard work, fortunately, the sky paid off, a few years ago, Yelu Dashi, who was already twenty-nine years old, made a name for himself with the first place in the palace examination, and after several promotions, he went to Taizhou to serve as the assassin.

But history played a big joke on Yelu Dashi, not long after he took office, the Jin people rebelled, and his jurisdiction Taizhou became a front-line position in a blink of an eye, and was attacked by the Jin army. But it is also from this time, Yelu Dashi's military talent can be quickly displayed, he is particularly good at seizing the opportunity, even if he fails, he can also rise with defeat, so that the Jin people are very headache, although Taizhou was finally lost, but Yelu Dashi's military exploits were not overwhelmed by defeat, after that, Yelu Dashi led the army to fight against the Jin people in the south and north, with the merits, tired to the Liaoxing army festival envoy.

Emperor Yelu Yanxi likes Yelu Dashi very much, not only because of his military exploits, but also because of his distant royal identity, like Yelu Dashi, a royal family that has fallen into the royal family, I don't know how many families have been there for more than 200 years since the founding of Taizu, because they have been separated from the center of power in Daliao for a long time, in fact, they have long been no different from the ordinary Khitan people, and it is precisely because of this that the "foundation" of this kind of person is generally very clean, and there will be no secret relationship with all the forces in the court, once used by the emperor, He has completely become the emperor's person, and he can be appointed boldly with confidence. However, Yelu Yanxi is a suspicious person, everyone thinks he wants to rebel all day long, and he doesn't even trust his own son, he is more eager than any emperor to cultivate the children of the imperial family who are absolutely loyal to him.

But it's a pity that there are few outstanding people in this kind of people, and most of the descendants of the royal family are idle people, who only rely on their status as royals to lead a little bit of dedication and do nothing.

But the appearance of Yelu Dashi gave the emperor a bright feeling, he is talented, diligent, first place in the high school palace examination, is a rare talent, and more importantly, he is still a royal family, and is from a royal family that has been in decline for a long time, no one in the court has anything to do with it, he is clean like a blank piece of paper, and he can be appointed by the emperor with confidence and boldness.

Therefore, from the day of Yelu Dashi High School, the emperor began to cultivate Yelu Dashi, Yelu Dashi did not disappoint the emperor, and won the emperor's satisfaction, so Yelu Dashi was like a rocket, and it was sent to the military town of Taizhou in just two years to make a history of assassination, after which although Taizhou fell, Yelu Dashi's performance is still one of the few bright spots in the Liao army that was defeated across the line, and he was not convicted, and continued to lead the army to be active in the anti-Liao front line, and repeatedly made war exploits,

And with this time after the Liao State and Jin negotiated peace again, the emperor appointed Yelu Dashi to be the Liaoxing Army Festival Envoy, Liaoxing Army is Pingzhou, Pingzhou is in the easternmost part of Nanjing Road, connecting Nanjing Road and Zhongjing Road, a discerning person can see at a glance the significance of this appointment, there is Yelu Dashi to lead the army in Pingzhou, it is equivalent to pinching a fish bone on Yeluchun's throat, which makes Yeluchun uncomfortable, as long as Yeluchun dares to move, Yelu Dashi can raise troops at any time to escort the king.

Everyone in the world knows that the emperor trusts Yelu Chun, but he sent Yelu Dashi to restrain Yelu Chun, what does this mean, it shows that the emperor trusts Yelu Dashi more, and this is putting his own safety in the hands of Yelu Dashi!

This time, the emperor wanted to weaken Yeluchun's strength by sending troops to reinforce the Great Song Dynasty, Yeluchun agreed without saying a word, and sent all his 200,000 elites out in one breath, the emperor was very happy, but he still didn't rest assured, he was not stupid, although Yeluchun sent his army, but the officers in the army were still Yeluchun's people, the emperor understood that Yeluchun only had an order, but he was afraid that these officers would still listen to him, but the emperor couldn't replace all these officers, so what should be done?

So the emperor thought of Yelu Dashi, who had already made a name for himself in the war against Jin over the years, and was famous among the Liao army, so why not send him to command this army and use him to gradually weaken Yelu Chun's control over this army?

In this way, Yelu Dashi was appointed as the capital of the southwest road and led 200,000 Nanjing troops into the Song Dynasty to fight.

The emperor thought that Yelu Dashi would be absolutely loyal to him, in fact, Yelu Dashi was indeed very loyal to the emperor, but the emperor ignored one point, that is, although Yelu Dashi was not Yelu Chun's person, he was also a staunch main battle faction, and he had always been very opposed to making peace with Jin, advocating launching a full-scale war with Jin to completely destroy Jin. Therefore, although he understood the emperor's purpose of appointing him as the envoy of the Liaoxing Army in Pingzhou, in fact, deep down he admired Yeluchun's will to resist Liao.

From the moment Yelu Dashi arrived in Pingzhou, the treacherous and cunning Yeluchun saw this clearly, taking the opportunity to inspect the military and political affairs of Pingzhou, Yeluchun and Yelu Dashi had a long talk, scolded Fang Xuan, denounced the lord and faction of the court, and pointed out the anti-Jin plan, and listened to the passion in Yelu Dashi's heart, regarded Yeluchun as the absolute loyal minister of Daliao, and unconsciously became more and more dissatisfied with the phalanx of the emperor and Jin to cut the land and seek peace, but the loyal minister is a loyal minister after all, it can be said that if Yeluchun really rebelled against the Liao Emperor, Yelu Dashi will still stand firmly on the emperor's side, but he believes that Yeluchun will not oppose Liao, but is a determined warrior who will fight against Jin for Liao, and this is enough for Yeluchun.

Therefore, when he received the emperor's appointment of Yelu Dashi as the commander of his army, Yelu Chun thought about it and agreed, the emperor did not send Xiao Fengxian, Li Chuwen and other traitors to be the commander is enough for Ye Lu Chun to burn high incense, and Ye Lu Chun also admires Yelu Dashi very much, and sent Yelu Dashi to go, at least he will not indiscriminately command and bury his old book.

In this way, Yelu Dashi became the commander of the 200,000 Liao army in a way that was acceptable to both the emperor and Yeluchun. But on the eve of his preparation to lead his army on the expedition, Yelu Caijie suddenly returned to Nanjing in secret.

Yeluchun has been very depressed these days, if he could have known in advance what would happen to the prophet later, he would not have married Yelu Caijie to Zheng Fei.

A few days ago, when he suddenly received that the Song State was willing to exchange the thirteen states of Hebei and the twelve states of the northwest for reinforcements from Liaoxia to help it defeat Zheng Linfeng, his regretful intestines were blue, although he knew that Zheng Linfeng was very evil, and the Heavenly Dao army was indeed very strong, but this time even he was a little bottomless, he couldn't imagine who could defeat the combined attack of the three major powers of Song Liaoxia at the same time, but I was afraid that this time Zheng Linfeng's good luck was over, at least, it would be greatly damaged because of this, how to help himself in the future? And once this happened, the first unlucky person was his daughter, who had just married, and he could not imagine how the bandit leader would treat her in a fit of rage, and he was very worried that Yelu Caijie would become the target of the bandit leader's anger. It's just that it's too late to regret it now, count the days, I'm afraid that now my daughter has completed the night with Zheng Linfeng's cave room.

But Ye Luchun still decided to agree to the Liao Emperor to send an army, because this is a good opportunity to strengthen himself that should not be missed, once the progress of things has reached the most perfect point according to his own vision, he will have the capital to confront the Liao Emperor overnight! In comparison, he is willing to sacrifice anything, even his own daughter. Of course, out of all preparations, he did not forget to leave a way out for the relationship between himself and Zheng Fei, not only took the initiative to send someone to inform Zheng Fei as soon as possible, but also generously let Hua Rong and others evacuate Nanjing Road safely, hoping to prove his friendliness and helplessness to Zheng Fei in this way, and treat Yelu Caijie well.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Caijie actually came back by herself, Yelu Chun was really overjoyed, even if he dared to sacrifice her, but she was his cherished biological daughter after all, she was able to get out of that dangerous whirlpool, return to her side, and let herself protect her, it was really a blessing in misfortune!

But what surprised Yeluchun even more was the news that Yeluchun brought back, I have to say that Zheng Fei's threat hit Yeluchun's worries, although this possibility is very small, but it is still the same sentence, that Zheng Linfeng is very evil, acting unexpectedly and often surprisingly, it is difficult to guarantee that he can really do it!

Therefore, Ye Luchun immediately decided to agree to Zheng Fei's request and delay it for a period of time as much as possible, anyway, after Ye Luchun weighed the pros and cons, if Zheng Linfeng could really defeat the Song and Xia coalition forces in such a short time, it would also be extremely beneficial to himself, not only could he take the opportunity to fight back and take the three roads of Hebei, but he could also still maintain the alliance with Zheng Linfeng and continue to receive a lot of assistance from him.

But one thing has become a problem, although Yelu Chun only needs one order to command the Nanjing Army, but now Yelu Dashi is the commander of the Nanjing Army after all, and if he really wants to do this, it is equivalent to exposing himself to the emperor, so how can he achieve this goal unknowingly?

Yelu Chun thought about it, but found inspiration from Zheng Fei's threat, he secretly met with Yelu Dashi, and told him that according to his own intelligence, the Jin army has been preparing to move recently, and they are likely to tear up the peace treaty again in the near future to attack Daliao, so it is best for the Nanjing army not to be too far away from Daliao, at least, please also ask Yelu Dashi to delay for a period of time before leaving, and try to walk slower on the road, in case Jin Guo really does this, he can also lead the army to return to Daliao in the shortest possible time to defend the country.

Yelu Dashi was shocked by Yeluchun's words, out of long-standing hatred and distrust of Jinguo, he believed Yeluchun's words, and in this way, he kept looking for excuses and did everything possible to delay time.

Yelu Chun was secretly proud in his heart, everything was going according to his vision, but what he didn't expect was that Yelu Caijie proposed to resign, it turned out that she saw that she had helped Zheng Fei achieve her goal, so she wanted to go back, she had decided to entrust her life to Zheng Fei, and now Zheng Fei is encountering a treacherous battle, she wants to go back and fight side by side with her husband.

Yeluchun didn't understand this, and rejected Yelucaijie's request in one bite, and said to her, if Zheng Linfeng is defeated, you will be buried when you go back. If he can make it through this, it's not too late for you to go back.

Yelu Caijie knelt down and begged with tears, Yelu Chun was furious and walked away, and even ordered Yelu Caijie to be grounded in the Yanwang Mansion, and sent maids to keep an eye on her at all times.

Yelu Caijie wanted to cry without tears, and she couldn't be depressed all day long, Yelu Chun had to let her mother Xiao Puxian persuade her, facing her mother, Yelu Caijie opened her heart and quietly told Xiao Puxian a secret,

"Mother, I'm ...... I have it! ”
