Chapter 547: The National Thief
Yingzhou Yamen inside and outside the guards were strict, the demeanor was solemn, and a group of personal soldiers pressed their waist knives in their hands, looking nervously at the soldiers standing in the hall.
The soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Yingzhou government were refugees recruited from Liaodong, these people were slaughtered by the Jurchens and had no place to return, and fled to Youyan to be recruited by Yelu Chun and Yelu Dashi, known as the eight battalions of the resentful army.
The soldiers of the Eighth Battalion of the Resentful Army, even though their clothes and armor were torn and their red blood was still oozing from the large and small strips wrapped around their bodies, everyone's faces were full of grief and indignation.
"The brothers are fighting bloodily under the city, you people from Yingzhou, go and only give food to the Khitan soldiers and the Song army, why do we have to eat one meal a day?"
The soldiers below were tense, but in the inner courtyard of the government office, the commanders of the eight battalions of the resentful army were all smiling.
Everyone chatted lightly, and it seemed that there was no mustard at all, and the Yingzhou garrison general Ye Luxian faced the commander of the resentful army who came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and his smile was cute: "The Jurchens are powerful, you must also know that these Tartars originated in Liaodong, and you are the first batch of victims."
Outside the Huanglong Mansion, you all know how many people have died, these Tartars are fierce and ruthless, and now that they have hit Yingzhou, it is time for us to work together and tighten our belts to resist. ”
Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the more powerful battalion in the resentment army, stepped forward and said: "We all know these things, but everyone is guarding each other on the same wall, and we are sitting and watching the robes around us eat three meals a day, but we only have one meal, who can stand it."
We complained about the eight battalions of the army, and we had to fight without fear, and the most people died in front. Things have come to this point, we don't need more, two meals a day is feasible? ”
As soon as these words came out, many of the resentful generals behind him were resentful, and it seemed that everyone's thoughts were not unified.
Guo Yaoshi also sees that the attitude of the Khitan people today is firm, and if he insists on it, he is afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.
Who knows that even if it is reduced to two meals a day, Ye Luxian still has a tough attitude, and he said slowly: "This matter has always been a law, and if it is rashly revised, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”
The law that has always been? At the beginning, it was indeed under Yelu Dashi, and everyone had one meal a day. But since Yelu Dashi ascended the throne, he received the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty, which originally belonged to Emperor Tianzuo, and the grain and grass were already enough.
All the Khitan soldiers have resumed three meals a day, you must know that at this time, many local people are still two meals a day, but they are holding on to death, starving to death, and the eight battalions of the resentful army are not only less, but also some stale old grain.
People's hearts do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, so that the people who complain about the eight battalions of the army will be unbearable.
Seeing that the Khitans did not enter the oil and salt, the generals of the eighth battalion of the resentful army were not as cautious as when they first came, and they all glared angrily.
For a long time, the status of this resentful army was very low, and it was even somewhat similar to the vassal army and servant army in the Jurchen camp.
The rot of the Liao bureaucracy has rotted to the bones, and it is even worse than that of the Great Song Dynasty before the New Deal. Naturally, no one would think of taking care of the emotions of these homeless "resentful" soldiers.
Even Yelu Dashi doesn't attach much importance to this.
A group of generals withdrew from the inner courtyard with hatred, and all the resentful troops who looked at them were disappointed.
As they returned to their camps, discontent slowly spread through the refugee barracks.
The seeds of hatred had been planted, and less than three days later, Pharmacist Guo's tent was rudely opened.
A sturdy general, pinched his waist and came in, angry.
"Wuchen, what's the matter?"
"Lao Guo, you still don't know? Yeluxian, the eighth king of thieves, is peddling military rations in the city! Isn't this our military rations withheld? ”
Pharmacist Guo stood up suddenly and asked, "Really?" ”
"This is still false, our soldiers are hungry with their chests and backs, and they have to take off their armor and buy food that is originally ours, this is not... Alas! ”
With so much money and food aided by the Great Song Dynasty, Yelu Dashi would definitely not let the resentful army be so chilled, and now it seems that it should be the idea of Yeluxian and others. This guy deducted the military rations, and it was sold in Yingzhou City, and he simply didn't treat the resentful army as a human being.
Zhen Wuchen lowered his voice and stepped forward and said, "I heard that they are also secretly trading with the Jurchen Tartars. Even if the city is broken, it is we who die, and these birdmen are still happy and happy. ”
I didn't expect that the country would come to this field, and there would be people who wanted to make a fortune in the country, and their greed and short-sightedness were staggering. Da Liao fell to this point, it is really self-inflicted, but it is a pity that the war burned too tragically, and the number of Jurchens who rose was too small and too ferocious.
Otherwise, with the courage of the Liao people to continue to die, the entire northern grassland would have completely changed hands and calmed down.
Guo Yaoshi's eyelids drooped, and he hid half of his anger: "Call Dong Clown and them all, this time, we really have to complain!" ”
---
In the main hall of the palace, the emperor Yelu Dashi has not set foot in a month, and he is all in the tent in the city.
People came and went in the big tent, the curtain door was open, and the war reports from all over the country were brought to the table.
Yao Pingzhong was wearing a light battle armor and holding a small shovel, looking at the sand table of the map. Next to him was the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Dashi.
These two old partners once entered the Zhongjing Mansion together, if it weren't for Yao Pingzhong's return to the Great Song Dynasty, they might have gained a firm foothold after the bloody battle between Beigui Mountain and Wanyan Lou Room.
At that time, it was a different situation, but unfortunately there was no if, Yao Pingzhong still withdrew.
Outside Yunzhou City, the war was stalemate, but Yelu Dashi regained a lot of confidence.
Learn Yang Lin by yourself, the wall is clear, and it is really easy to use. After the Jurchens were put in, the battle was eroded, but it also appeased the Song people.
The Great Song Dynasty received more and more assistance, after all, the doubts about the Liaojin Conference and the Peace Conference were removed, and at this point, the problem could not be solved by negotiating peace.
In exchange for the precious time gained from the previous peace talks, Yelu Dashi overhauled the fortifications in Yunnei, and now it has played an effective role.
The Jurchens suddenly remembered the feeling they had in Youyan at the beginning, and they couldn't move an inch!
Yao Pingzhong looked at the map and said with a smile: "Wanyan Lou's room is in Yingzhou, and after fighting for so long, I don't know how much food I still have in my hand." In a few days, the army of the old breed will be out of Yanmen, and then we can launch a big counterattack in the whole territory of Yunnei! ”
After being pressed and beaten for so long, Yelu Dashi was also a little moved, a counterattack was not to annihilate many girls and real people, but to restore morale.
But a field war with the Jurchens?
Yelu Dashi was still a little hesitant in his heart, after all, the Liao people had lost too much in front of the Jurchens.
Sensing his uneasiness, Yao Pingzhong said while piling up the sand table: "We are still hesitant ourselves, it can be seen that the Jurchen side is even more unprepared, and the most important thing is to do a good job of secrecy." Wait until the day of the fight, and then notify the various divisions and attack together.
Zong Ze, the governor of the Northern Province, why he was able to win the battle and win so long, and bought us so long, relied on a surprise! Wanyan Agu never dreamed that the Song army took the initiative to chase it to Ulzhou, you see where the Song army fought a positional hard battle, all of them concentrated superior forces, and took advantage of the light cavalry to come and go quickly, attacking the lone Jurchen squad. This is a shocking record of 13 consecutive wins.
The Jurchen, who is known as having never tasted defeat, is thirteen consecutive defeats, so why should Your Majesty hesitate. ”
Yelu Dashi nodded slowly, ready to completely restore the morale of Da Liao when the Song people outside Yanmen arrived!
