The Battle of Niuwangling ended with a complete victory for the alliance of the tribesmen and the Jurchens, which also heralded the end of the division between the north and south of the Liao State, which lasted less than half a year. Of course, the Liao State will never be able to return to the powerful and unified Liao State of the past, because the Jurchens will seize most of the land in the east, and the Jurchens have already risen, which is already an irrepressible trend.

After the end of the battle, Wanyan Agu ordered Hu Lu and other generals to lead a large army and a large number of prisoners and supplies to the south. The Zhongjing Dading Mansion is at your fingertips, and you don't even need Wanyan Aguda to attack it personally, just hand it over to your subordinates. And Wanyan Aguda only led 5,000 elite horsemen to follow the tribal chiefs to Linhuang Mansion. There, he wanted to get an agreement signed by Yeluchun himself.

It's not that Wanyan Aguda doesn't want to annihilate all the tribesmen's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, but now is actually an excellent opportunity to wipe out all the forces capable of resisting in the entire Great Liao. But Wanyan Aguda didn't do that. Of course, this is not because of his kindness, but because Wanyan Agu has other plans. His vision is no longer limited to the barren land of the north, he has developed a strong interest in the rich and prosperous land of the south, and he wants to conquer it and become the master of that land. In fact, it is the center of the world, and only by occupying that rich land can it be truly called a meritorious achievement and domination of the world. In view of this, he did not want to focus on the affairs within the Liao State.

In fact, judging from the current situation, it is not a challenge at all to wipe out the tribal soldiers and horses to completely occupy the land of Liao, and all that is needed is time. Even if the tribe is wiped out and all the land of Wujing is occupied, it will take a long time for the entire Liao State to submit to him, because the Liao State has a vast territory and many tribes, and it will take a long time to truly stabilize his rule. And this is exactly what Wanyan Agu does not want to see. Time is the worst enemy.

Wanyan Agu knew that the Great Zhou in the south was now a crumbling palace with a gorgeous appearance, and as long as there were enough troops, it could be destroyed like a decay. And if he spends the next few years conquering the hearts of the Liao people and pacifying the laughing tribes and resistance forces in Liao, he will undoubtedly give Da Zhou an excellent respite. And the Great Zhou in the south has countless capable people with lofty ideals, and has powerful wisdom and means. Who knows what it will be like to give them a few years to breathe. Maybe it's getting worse, maybe it's going to be indestructible.

This is not only understood from his sister Wanyan Mingyue's daily conversation with him, but also his personal experience of Wanyan Aguda. For example, that Lin Jue, after he escaped from his control, he recalled this person's words and deeds more than once, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this person's methods were clever. He was determined to keep him by his side, with the idea of killing him if he didn't use it for himself. But somehow, he let the people around him go from under his nose, and in the end he was left alone, and he used his sister, his only weakness, to defeat himself, and finally escaped. Every time he thought about what had happened, Wanyan Agu felt that his IQ had been insulted. Now that my sister is pregnant and waiting to give birth, she is actually pregnant with this guy's child, which can really be said to have lost her sister and ran away. From this incident, we can know how scheming and planning the people of the Great Zhou are. There must be no shortage of this kind of people in the Great Zhou court, and these people must not be allowed to save this Great Zhou. We must destroy them while they are weak, and we must not give them a chance to breathe and turn over. Otherwise, the opportunity will be missed.

Therefore, the affairs of Liao can be put aside for a while. It can make Yeluchun and the tribal chiefs feel at ease to do things for themselves. Let them govern the Liao State for themselves first, and those tribes and officials of the Liao State will not rebel against them. He only needs to get the support of soldiers, horses and materials from them, and let the entire Daliao become the grain, grass and soldiers and horses of the army he led his army south, which is the wisest choice. When he takes the south, it will not be difficult to deal with the affairs of the Liao State. At that time, he will sit on the land of the Great Zhou and Liao Kingdom from south to north for tens of thousands of miles, and become the master of hundreds of millions of people, which will be the most glorious moment in his life. It is comparable to the exploits of the so-called Qin Emperor and Han Wu who went down in history in the previous life.

In the Linhuang Mansion, on the palace of the imperial city, a grand celebration banquet is underway.

Steaming beef and mutton are on the desk, and the food and wine are full. The dancers gracefully displayed their figures, dancing in the hall with the joy of silk and bamboo, drawing the eyes of the tribal generals to their chests, buttocks and thighs.

Brother Mengsa and several other chiefs took turns to toast Wanyan Agu, saying flattering words in their mouths. Although they didn't want to do this, they knew that at this moment, they must not annoy Wanyan Aguda. Although Wanyan Aguda was obviously deliberately late in the battle of Niuwangling, so that the tribal soldiers and horses suffered losses in the battle with the southern army, after the battle, the tribal chiefs did not mention anything. They were also extremely dissatisfied with Wanyan Aguda's extremely selfish behavior of taking all the captives and food and grass for themselves, but they could only pretend to be generous and did not raise any objections. Because they know very well who is in charge of the current situation. Wanyan Aguda could have destroyed them with his own hands, he didn't do it, it was already a great luck, and he definitely couldn't annoy him at this time.

"Great Leader Wanyan, come on, come on, I will toast you again. Done! Brother Mengsa raised the bowl again, this was the third time he had toasted Wanyan Aguda.

Wanyan Aguda drank more than ten bowls of wine in a row

, with a purple color on his face. He had never refused to come before, but now he didn't bring the wine bowl. Instead, he frowned and glanced at the empty seat on the north side, his face dissatisfied.

"Don't drink this wine, why hasn't your emperor come yet? I still have a lot of work to do, and my army is heading south to attack Dadingfu. I need to hurry up and sign the agreement you promised me with your Emperor. After the agreement is signed, I will go south to fight, and I will not have time to waste here. Chiefs, you will also lead your army south to Naxijin and Xijing Datong. If you don't take it, I'll take it with my hands, and then don't say that I took your things. Because it is a passage to the south, the south must be completely recovered before I can proceed to the next step. I didn't come to the Huangfu to drink wine, eat meat, and watch songs and dances. Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, what the Great Leader of Wanyan said is very true. has already asked people to invite the emperor, and it should be coming soon. Please wait a moment. Brother Mengsa laughed.

"Hmph. I think this is deliberate negligence, anyway, I also helped you defeat Han Desui and Han Zhang, otherwise Linhuang Mansion would have changed hands today, and he Yeluchun would have a good life? I haven't seen him since I entered Linhuang Mansion, and I refuse to come out at the moment, isn't this snubbing? Could it be that the agreement between us is going to be annulled? A few big chiefs, if you want to regret it, just say it, I don't want to ask anyone else. Give me a good word. Wanyan Agu sneered.

"No, no, no, the great leader of Wanyan should never think so, I will personally go to invite the emperor. Please be calm. Brother Mengsa hurriedly explained with a smile, and then got up and glanced at Kulu Ba Gusa, and walked out of the hall quickly.

Kuluba and Bald Gusa hurriedly left the table and followed, and when they walked outside the hall, Brother Mengsa frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?" What is the emperor going to do? Why don't you come out and meet people? ”

Kuluba said in a low voice: "It must be a knot in my heart, then Wanyan Agu Da is ...... after all"

"There's a knot of fart, and it's given him face. He didn't want to think about what he was. If it weren't for his identity, who would be willing to bird him? He really thinks of himself as the emperor. Fuck, I'm going to get him. Bald Bone scolded.

Brother Mengsa frowned and said, "Don't be like this, can you know some etiquette?" Otherwise, how will you convince the public in the future? Even if we don't take him seriously, we can't show it. Go, go and persuade. ”

A few people walked to the apse, passed a row of new greenery full of greenery, and soon arrived at the emperor's bedroom. After entering the dormitory, I went straight to the residence of Yelu Chun in the apse, and at the door of the spring pavilion, I heard the loud crying and the sound of smashing and throwing things inside.

The two chamberlains at the door stood tremblingly, and when they saw several chiefs coming, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"What's going on?" Brother Mammoth asked.

"The emperor is smashing things inside, and he is crying and screaming. We didn't dare to persuade us, and we were smashed out when we went in. Wang Yang'er's chest was smashed with an inkstone, and it was all blue. The chamberlain hurriedly replied.

Brother Mengsa's face was pale, he raised his hand and lifted the curtain to go in, and Bald Gusa and Kuluba also followed, and as soon as the three of them entered the house, they heard someone in the room shouting: "Get out." Immediately after that, something flew in front of him.

Brother Mengsa dodged his head, but the bald bone sa behind him was hit, but it turned out to be a book, the corners of the book were hard, although it would not hurt, but it was also very painful to hit the door of the head.

Bald Bones rubbed his head and shouted angrily, "What are you doing? What's crazy? ”

Yelucai, who was about to smash it with another book in his hand, was stunned when he realized that it was not the chamberlain who had come in, but the three chiefs. I didn't dare to smash the book in my hand, and suddenly I cried with both hands.

The three of them frowned and approached, and looked around, the room was in a mess, tables and chairs overturned, vases cracked, books on the shelves were torn all over the floor, inkstones, brushes and teacups were scattered on the ground. It must be Yeluchun's masterpiece.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? Why don't you go out to the feast and participate in the celebration, hide in this house and cry and smash things? Brother Mengsa looked at Yeluchun and said in a deep voice.

Ye Luchun removed his palm, his face was full of tears, and said loudly: "Celebration? What is the achievement? Do you want to congratulate me on the merits of the thieves of the Great Liao? Who killed my father, isn't it Wanyan Aguda, a thief? I'm going to celebrate him? What agreement do you want to sign with him to provide him with food, supplies, soldiers and horses, and help him go to fight the Great Zhou? What do you guys think? Have you considered my feelings? I won't go, I'm determined not to go, I don't share the sky with him, don't want me to see him. ”

Brother Mengsa's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't be rash. We know who Wanyan Aguda is, but now we can't offend him, the emperor hates this person, but he can only bury his hatred in his heart, and he must cooperate with him. If the emperor refuses to cooperate, it will harm Da Liao. That agreement is beneficial to both sides, and his appetite is in the south, so let's send this plague god away. It's just to give him some material and manpower support, and he will return Dading Liaoyang to us later. The emperor should take a long-term view......"

Yeluchun gritted his teeth and said, "You also believe his nonsense? Is he willing to give us Liaoyang and Dading back? How can it be? You don't want to know who he is. Eat something in your mouth and spit it out? It's an insatiable wolf. ”

"Of course we know what kind of person he is, but this is the only way to make him a threat to us. The emperor didn't want him to lead the Jurchen soldiers and horses to capture Linhuang Mansion. At that time, where will the emperor go? ”

Yeluchun exclaimed, "

Linhuang Mansion is a big deal, we still have a large area of territory in the northwest, as well as your territory, what are you afraid of him doing? It's so easy for him to take away my big Liaojiang and mountains? With him, the Jurchens want to convince the public? I'm afraid it's a dream. If you are really my loyal minister of Da Liao, you should kill him immediately. Didn't his army come? This is a good opportunity to get rid of him, why don't you do it? ”

Bald Bone Salem shouted, "What did you say? You mean we're not loyal anymore? What are you if it weren't for us? Ye Luchun, you can figure it out, it is we who support you, and you are the emperor. Without us, you're just a lost dog. ”

Yeluchun opened his mouth in shock and looked at Bald Gusa, they finally said this sentence. This layer of window paper was finally pierced. The fact that he is a puppet finally does not need to be concealed, and he does not have to deceive himself into deceiving himself and saying that he is still the emperor of Daliao.

Brother Mengsa glared at Bald Gusa and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive Chief Bald Gusa's words, he is a rough man. But you have to go to see Yan Aguda, you have to sign an agreement. Not only for you, but also for Da Liao. Don't you know that as long as you live, you will have the opportunity to turn the book? What's the use of killing Yan Aguda? His men and horses will immediately march north to sweep us away. You will have nowhere to go. The Land of the Northwest? What else is there? What else is there besides the Gobi Desert Alpine Snow Fields? If the Northwest Land can really survive, why should we support you as emperor? There, you can only be regarded as alive, living like a beast. You can't live a day like that. Believe me. Listen to our arrangements carefully, and you will still be the emperor. If you don't understand this, we ...... I don't mind changing to an emperor. ”

Yeluchun sat on the ground, speechless. The three people beside him looked at him and sneered, like three cunning wolves.

"Come, wait for the emperor to change his clothes, and go to the main hall for a banquet!" Brother Meng Za commanded in a deep voice, and then brushed his sleeves away.

……

On April 22, 70,000 Jurchen troops approached the city of Dadingfu in Zhongjing. Dading Mansion, which was defended by less than 30,000 people, was suddenly in chaos. Yelu Pingshan is only a fourteen-year-old boy, but at this moment he shows a rare backbone. After the news of the death of Han Desui and Han Zhang, who assisted him, came, when the upper and lower ministers all opened the city gate and surrendered, Yelu Pingshan chose to fight to the death.

He personally mobilized the people in the city and recruited 20,000 young men to participate in the defense of the city. Execute all the officials who whispered in their ears for him to surrender, so that these words of surrender were completely eliminated. When facing the surrender letter sent by the other party, he cut off the ear of the Jurchen messenger and put it back, and asked him to tell the Jurchens that he would never surrender to the traitors of the Great Liao.

After three days of siege, the Jurchens finally decided to storm the city, which was the first time that the Jurchens had officially attacked a fortified city. The Jurchens' siege methods were still jerky, and the opponent's will to defend the city was very strong, so they couldn't succeed in attacking the city for three days in a row.

Wanyan Agu called a halt to the siege battle, he knew that a hard attack could be captured, but it would cause huge losses. The soldiers and horses in his hands are all treasures, and he can't wantonly consume precious soldiers and horses. He adopted the advice of his advisers and adopted the strategy of besieging but not attacking, and striking at reinforcements. sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the city, and at the same time ambushed 10,000 soldiers and horses who rushed to the rescue from Xijin Province. After that, it took 20,000 cavalry more than ten days to sweep through the southeastern state capitals of Zhongjing Province and occupy all the cities in Zhongjing Province.

At the same time, Meng Sage and others led the tribe to the south and conquered Xijin Province on the ninth day of the fourth month. On April 15, the commander of Xijing Datong led his army to surrender. So far, Dading Mansion has completely become a small boat in the ocean. There were no more reinforcements.

Wanyan Aguda was not in a hurry at all, while besieging the city, he reorganized the soldiers and horses, recruited more than 60,000 captives of the captured Liao army into the army, and expanded the soldiers and horses. At the same time, combat materiel was actively prepared.

After a month of siege, even though Yeluping Mountain was very strong-willed, the food in Dading Mansion was exhausted, and it had reached the point of exhaustion. Yelu Pingshan even killed his own BMW to satisfy the crowd to show his determination, but this could not save the situation at all. The Jurchens duly released rumors that they would slaughter the city if they did not surrender. In this case, the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, and they are on the verge of collapse.

It is believed that the emperor has done what he has to do, and he has been brave in his insistence on defending the city. But he couldn't let the hundreds of thousands of people in the city be slaughtered because of his insistence. He should have thought about surrendering, and it was selfish to let everyone die because of his heart.

Yelu Pingshan also knew that the general trend had gone, and he didn't want to affect the people in the city, he knew that in a few days, after the city was completely cut off from food, he was afraid that if the Jurchens did not come to attack, the city would also be in chaos. So he made an amazing decision.

On the night of May 28, Yelu Pingshan led 2,500 cavalry loyal to him to rush out of the west gate and stormed the Jurchen camp. They rushed to kill thousands of Jurchens. But the results can be imagined. None of the 2,500 people survived, and they all died in the united battle. Yelupingshan's corpse was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and he stood upright with a scimitar and died. Even after Yan Aguda saw his corpse, he also picked his fingers and admired. The behavior of a fourteen-year-old boy is even more admirable than that of many generals and high-ranking officials of the Liao State, and even more so than that of his parents and ancestors. Maybe give him time and space, and he will be an immortal emperor in the future. It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time.

Yelu Pingshan may be the most admired emperor of the Liao Kingdom in these decades, but it is also the last.
