Chapter 477: Dust to Dust, Dust to Dust
Di Yong asked Gan Qi what to do in the Great Yan Kingdom.
This question seems simple at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is not so simple.
First of all, these people are not Gan Qi's subordinates, and Gan Qi can't settle these people, because Gan Qi can't give these people official positions and wealth, and this Yan Yun can't belong to these people after all. That is to say, although these people indirectly helped Ganqi, Ganqi could not give them any compensation.
Secondly, these people are now considered a military force, and when Gan Qi enters Yanyun, it is impossible to let an uncontrolled military force hover in the land of Yanyun, whether it is from the point of view of ruling the place, or from the point of view of public security and the people living and working in peace and contentment.
In the end, these people now have territory and an army, many men who struggled to survive in the past, many people who were traitors in the past, and now they have more or less power, these people will not easily give up the authority in exchange for their lives, even if it is too small to be small, it is also the status of a human being, and it is not easy to get it, how can it be easily given up?
That's the contradiction.
After all, it is still a chess piece, and the chess pieces should have a place for the chess pieces, and after a game of chess is played, the chessboard is not a place for the chess pieces to stay.
From Ganqi's point of view, this is the most naked rabbit and dead dog cooking, and the bird is hidden.
So Gan Qi replied to Di Yong: "Dust to dust, soil to earth......"
This sentence didn't know how many people's fate was decided, Di Yong was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and said: "Big brother, let me go back again and persuade them well." ”
Di Yong understands the cruelty of reality, so he doesn't want to see some things come to the most tragic ending, at least everyone is alive, this is the best ending.
I'm afraid that in the end, many people won't be able to live, people will die for money, birds will die for food, and they will compare the hemp cow with Ganqi, which is an underground and a heaven. I am even more afraid that the people on the earth do not know the majesty of the gods in the daytime, and they still want to fight for their lives with the sky.
That throne, as well as those civil and military officials, was the most inspiring method at that time. Now, fear has become the reason why many people are going to perish.
So Di Yong wants to persuade those emperors and civil and military officials, these things are just a dream after all, Di Yong wants everyone to recognize this dream and accept this reality.
Gan Qi looked at Di Yong and said, "Don't force it." ”
Gan Qi seemed to see through everything, which is why he came up with this sentence.
Di Yong nodded: "Big brother, I'll try, after all, we've worked together for so long, although many of them are traitors, but there are also some people who are really good, they all listen to me, I hope it's the same this time." ”
"Go ahead and watch your safety." Gan Qi didn't persuade Di Yong again, Gan Qi understood this kind of thing very well, he made a lot of preparations, and only told Di Yong to pay attention to safety.
Di Yong smiled: "Big brother, don't worry, without the Liao people, I won't be in danger anymore." Big brother, see you in the future, farewell! ”
Di Yong left, and went back to the so-called Great Yan Kingdom, where there are still more than 200,000 troops of the Great Yan Kingdom, with these 200,000 Great Yan troops, those who are coerced on the road, and those who are willing to go home to live again, are all put back. Then go back to Luanzhou and persuade the emperor and the civil and military officials, hoping that everything can have a good result.
Gan Qi looked at the fires in all directions, and looked at the corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
When Gan Qi was just melancholy for a moment, and the sentimentality of the literati had just come out, a military man ran to Gan Qi and said with a smile: "Gan Xianggong, the privy envoy of the Liao State has come ashore. ”
Gan Qi smiled: "It's good, take all the captives, go, let's go back to Yanjing City!" ”
"Yes!"
searched the fire site, captured more than 7,000 people, most of the generals were alive, and one Yelu Renxian was also alive.
In Yanjing City, in fact, people are also panicking, this Yanjing City, after all, is not the homeland of the Khitan people, in this moment of crisis, as the rulers of the Khitan people, there are too many worries and doubts in their hearts.
Emperor Yelu Hongji, Shuo Ye was worried, the Song army was in the city for a few days, and he couldn't sleep well, and he would inevitably wake up every time he entered the water for an hour or two, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to ask if the reinforcements had arrived.
In the middle of this afternoon, Yelu Hongji, who had been lacking sleep, dozed off in the imperial study again, and on the royal couch, he dozed off for about half an hour, and suddenly woke up again, and immediately asked, "Where are the reinforcements?" Any news? ”
In the imperial study, all the high-ranking officials were there, all waiting for news of reinforcements here.
Yelu Yixin hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, there is no news yet, but please rest assured, according to the time, the reinforcements should not be far away, at most there are dozens of miles of road, and they will definitely return tomorrow." ”
Ma Xiao Derang hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, will the privy envoy of the Northern Court not come back with troops?" It stands to reason that the army is only a few dozen miles away, so the forward ranger scout should have appeared near Yanjing City, why haven't any scouts seen it? The Song army is only twenty or thirty thousand, and it is not capable of blocking all the ranger scouts dozens of miles away......"
Yelu Yixin actually had this kind of worry, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the emperor, but Xiao Derang said it directly.
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yelu Hongji's face immediately changed greatly, he got up from his couch, and without saying a word, he began to pace back and forth.
The emperor of the Liao State is really difficult to be, Yelu Hongji, who has just experienced a rebellion, was almost killed by someone on the side of the Luan River. At this time, how could Yelu Hongji not be worried?
Yelu Hongji never took the twenty or thirty thousand Song troops seriously, because he sat on a Khitan Daliao and commanded millions of armor, so even if the Song army was near the city and the garrison in the city was empty, he never thought that he would abandon the city and flee.
But once ...... What are the two intentions of the privy envoy of the Northern Court who is really leading the troops outside, Yelu Hongji knows that he will die immediately, and the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom is really going to be replaced. Yeluren was able to do this first, he was originally the privy envoy of the northern court, and now he has led the main force of the southern privy council, which is almost equivalent to the military power of the entire country temporarily gathered in his hands. As long as Yelu Hongji dies, how can there be another candidate for this throne?
Seeing this, Yelu Yixin hurriedly explained the emperor: "Your Majesty, rest assured, most of the generals of the Southern Privy Council are confidants, and they were also loyal generals who resisted the rebel thief Chongyuan with their ministers in Luanhe, and they will definitely not do anything against others if they die!" ”
Yelu Yixin has confidence in himself, how can the generals under his command follow others to make trouble?
Thousands of precautions, to prevent Yelu Yixin, and now worried about Yelu Renxian, Emperor Yelu Hongji listened to Yelu Yixin's words, but the pace of continuous back and forth still did not stop.
As an emperor, no one can dispel the worries in his heart, and no one he really trusts, not even his own son.
As his own son, Ye Lujun obviously had the same idea as his father, and immediately spoke: "Father, the son feels that this matter must be guarded against, if you wait for another day, and you don't see the arrival of reinforcements, your father needs to make a decision and make another plan." ”
Yelujun's meaning is very simple, that is, his father can't really die, he has to find a way to go, as long as he lives, everything is easy to say, once he really dies here, everything will be over.
Yelu Hongji saw that his son had explained this matter directly, and immediately opened his mouth to scold: "Presumptuous, as a prince, how can you be so suspicious of your courtiers?" Come on, pull this guy out and play the board! ”
The emperor's mental technique is so difficult, even if there is infinite suspicion in his heart, but this kind of thing can be said by others, but he himself can't say it, and the prince can't say it either, once he says it, the consequences are unimaginable. If this word spreads, maybe some people will be frightened if they don't have a rebellion.
Several armored warriors came forward to drag Yelujun, and dragged them out to hit the board.
Yelujun also said loyally: "Father, you must listen to the words of your son, what the ministers say is for the sake of the country!" ”
"Beat, beat, teach him to dare to talk nonsense!" Yelu Hongji looked furious.
Yelujun still shouted: "Father, you must make plans early!" ”
No wonder Yelu Jun, the only son of this emperor, will be killed by Yelu Yixin in the future, this prince's political level is too low.
was beating outside the door, making the prince Yelujun cry and shout, but he didn't forget to express his loyalty, so that his father could make plans early, and he couldn't be defenseless or something.
Emperor Yelu Hongji waved his hand: "Everyone, go back and rest first, reinforcements will definitely arrive tomorrow." ”
Everyone retreated, and Yelu Yixin looked at Yelu Jun, who was beaten outside the door, and shook his head.
When everyone left, the board outside the door stopped, and Yelu Hongji called his son in, ready to teach, improve the political level of his only son, and teach him what the emperor's mind is, so that he will not suffer in vain.
But it was Yelu Hongji who was just about to educate his son, and Yelu Yixin came back with many civil and military forces, all of them panicked.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The appearance of everyone frightened Yelu Hongji, and he subconsciously thought that the news of Yelu Ren first came, and Ye Lu Ren first reversed!
"Your Majesty, it's not good, Yelu Ren first, Yelu Ren first he ......" Yelu Yixin was also a little flustered.
What can make Yelu Yixin panic, can it be small? Yelu Hongji was so angry that he waved his hand in the air, but he couldn't speak, and he didn't seem to be able to breathe.
"Your Majesty, I heard a report that Yeluren was caught by the Song people first, and he was outside the city...... The Song people escorted him to the city and were scolding! ”
"What? 100,000 troops, defeated? "Yeluren spoke first, and Yeluren did not rebel first, so I don't know if this is good news......
"I heard that there are still thousands of captives, all of whom are kneeling outside the city by the Song people......" Yelu Yixin said as he wiped the sweat from his face with his hand.
"Hurry up, go to the city with me!" Yelu Hongji took three steps and made two steps to rush forward, almost not stumbling and falling.
Left and right hurriedly stepped forward to help, and helped Yelu Hongji to rush out.
It was not early, it was almost dusk, the royal car passed through the city, the city was full of people, and bad news spread everywhere among the 300,000 people in Yanjing City like a violent wind.
When Yelu Hongji went up to the city, one by one the men who were bound and kneeling on the ground, did not dare to raise their heads in despair, and each of them had a sword behind his back, as were the case with thousands.
There is also a temporary table in front of the head, on the table there is a person kneeling, only a few dozen steps away, and in front of the table stands a circle of Song soldiers holding shields.
Behind the table, there was a flag, and a line of words was written on the flag from top to bottom: Yeluren, the privy envoy of the Northern Court, knelt down here and begged for mercy!
The bun on Yelu Renxian's head was lifted, so that Yelu Renxian kept a posture of raising his head, Yelu Renxian's face, everyone could see it clearly, but Yelu Hongji on the head of the city still asked: "Is that really Renxian?" ”
Everyone bowed their heads and did not answer.
Only the young Yelujun replied angrily: "My 100,000 troops in Daliao have been buried by him, and he still has the face to come back to see people?" Why don't you shoot this guy on the spot! ”
Yelu Yixin immediately beckoned left and right, and said: "Release the arrows, shoot him to death!" ”
But Yelu Yixin also understands that what is the difference between the living Jelu Renxian and the dead Jelu Renxian? As long as Jereren appeared under the city first, it was the same thing.
The city hurriedly released arrows, and the Song army on the opposite side was also on guard, and the shield was immediately erected, and the two shields were closed up and down, and then the shield was raised high, and the arrow rain had no effect.
Yelu Hongji didn't bother to look at it anymore, so he turned his head and went down to the city, and Yelu Jun on the side reminded his father again: "Father, it's time to make plans." ”
Yelu Hongji glared at his own son and asked Yelu Yixin: "Yixin, 100,000 troops, why was it so easily defeated?" ”
Yelu Yixin naturally thought of many questions and replied, "Your Majesty, we have all been decided. The Song people must have prepared for a long time to go to war against the alliance, and they may have been preparing for several years. The two or thirty thousand Song troops under the city are by no means the main force of the Song army, they must have been secretly Chen Cang for a long time, these two or thirty thousand Song troops are just a suspicious strategy, and there must be more Song troops who have also entered Yanyun. At the beginning, Ren Xian should not have been asked to rush back to help, Ren Xian must have been ambushed by a large number of Song troops because the return was too hasty. ”
Yelu Yixin's explanation is tenable, but he also can't understand many things, that is, the Song people must have been preparing for such a big battle for a long time, how could he not receive any news at all?
Yelu Hongji clenched his fists and said angrily: "Song Dog is so deceitful, it is a situation that will not end, since Song Dog is unkind, Hugh blames me for being unjust, for so many years, Khitan Daliao has thought about him Song Gou, and he wants to value peace, but now he has caught me off guard, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures...... Hmph, let's give them first, come to the Khitan million with armor, and see how he Song responds. Never die, never die! ”
In Yelu Hongji's fist, his nails were inserted into the palm of his hand, and blood flowed from the cracks of his fist.
But from these words, Yelu Yixin heard some meaning, that is, His Majesty the Emperor was leaving, and he had to prepare early.
Liaoguo, it's still big, the land of eastern Liao, thousands of miles of grassland. There are still millions of armor, and this war has just begun.
Outside the city, Ganchi rode back and forth three or four hundred paces away.
He also knew that all this had just begun, and he knew that the emperor of Liao was going to leave nine times out of ten today. This Liao country is far from being destroyed.
The thing Gan Qi is thinking about now is how to ambush Yelu Hongji, who is about to leave the city, if Yelu Hongji can be killed, the Liao Kingdom will experience an internal chaos, and this time give Gan Qi more time.
However, Ganqi only had more than 20,000 horses, and in the face of this city of 300,000 people, and in the face of more than a dozen city gates in the south, east, and northwest, it was difficult to ambush Yeluhongji. Now Yelu Hongji, who is leaving, has changed from passive to active, and Ganqi has changed from active to passive.
There are countless horses in the city, how can they hold it?
Killing Yelu Hongji, Gan Qi did not have great hopes, so he could only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven. It depends on luck, among the dozens of miles of city walls, focus on a few city gates, and it depends on God's arrangement.
Even if God opened his eyes and let Gan Qi block the right city gate, but the battle of the trapped beasts, the Liao army that jumped over the wall in a hurry, will definitely be desperate to kill, whether he can accurately find Yelu Hongji in the chaotic battle depends on the destiny of heaven.
The arrangements are all arranged, Yanjing City, which extends in all directions, so many large and small city gates, and there are 30,000 Liao troops in the city, for the safety of the emperor, it must be a feint from several sides, and the emperor Yelu Hongji chooses one place and leaves.
This Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is almost in hand, as long as the Emperor of Liao runs away, other things will be simple, whether you can find the Emperor of Liao or not, Gan Qi has more important things to do, that is, to send people to station at various Great Wall passes, and control the defense line of the entire Yanshan Mountain Range, so that the strategic goal of this war can be achieved.
When the news of this great victory reached Tokyo, I don't know how shocked the people of the world, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, were.
This battle is the real rise of power in Ganqi's life, and it should be time for him Ganqi to take power!
