Chapter 177: Zhuozhou is lost

The reason why Tian Yu followed Yelu to Nanjing was not as righteous and awe-inspiring as he said. He came for a purpose, to see what the combat effectiveness of the Khitan army was, to see what the personalities of the Khitan generals were, and to see what the Khitan was best at strategy and tactics. As an intelligence officer of the Chu State, Tian Yu knows Ma Yun's ambitions very well. Don't look at the fact that he is getting along well with Yelu Tartlie and others now, he already knows in his heart that when the Pseudo-Zhou Dynasty is destroyed, it will be the time when the Chu State and the Khitan Army face each other. Unless the Khitan gave up the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, a war between the Chu State and the Khitan would definitely be inevitable. In this case, getting to know the Khitan people as early as possible is also to prepare for the future.

Tian Yu wanted to come to the Khitan army to have a look, but whether he could come or not, he said that it didn't count. While he was racking his brains to think of a solution, Yelu came to the door and asked him to go south with him.

Why did Yelu find Tian Yu? This kid has been smooth sailing recently, Ma Xicao came, he made several big deals one after another, his income increased exponentially, and he had a good life, and he became a man of the hour in the capital. Now the older generation of Khitan nobles will stretch out their thumbs when they mention him: "Good luck in the ancient times, although this kid is not doing his job, he is really rich." There are even some discerning people who say in private: "Tuthorn understands the way of economics and is a rare economic talent in Khitan." ”

Naturally, the news reached the ears of the thorn, and he was full of gratitude to Ma Xixu. Later, Yelu was ordered to send an envoy to Hedong, and without saying a word, he got the land of five states and 200,000 years of tribute for the Khitan, which made the government and the opposition look at the thorn with admiration. Others don't know the reason, but they understand it in their hearts: Thanks to Li Tingru. Over time, this thorn looked at the people of Chu differently, and he felt that he could not do without the help of the people of Chu.

In the palace, watching Yelu Lie and Gao Mohan arguing, he stood out and became an observer of Nanjing, in fact, Shannan supervised the army, Yelu secretly made up his mind at the moment, and he had to find someone to help. Who to look for? Looking for the people of Chu. Ma Xicao was far away in Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo (now Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province), and Li Tingru was in Taiyuan Prefecture, Hedong. There is only one Tian Yu in Shangjing under the nose. So, he hurried to the door, and asked Zhuge Liang to invite Tian Yu out respectfully. How did he know that Tian Yu couldn't wait to join the army.

There is also an episode here, this Ma Xicao had already taken a big boat to go to sea and returned to China, and on the way, I heard that the clans in Jinling City were making trouble, and they were ready to get a piece of the pie, and their eldest nephew Ma Yun couldn't resist the pressure and said: Wait for the King of Xiangyin to come back and discuss it. A ship's goods, from south to north, such a shipment, 20,000 taels of profit will be in hand, so where can I find such benefits. Ma Xixu was not stupid, he thought about it, turned the bow of the ship, and he returned to the Khitan Kingdom. In the Khitan country, there is food, drink and money to make, and the beauty of the foreign country is also good, he is really happy.

"Brother Tian, do you think our army can win this battle?" After returning to his mansion, Yelu couldn't help but ask. On the front line, Yelu is not a stupid boy, he is still more worried about his safety.

"Brother Yelu has been proficient in archers and horses since he was a child, and he has also participated in the battle of the Jin Dynasty, the strength of your army, does the general still have doubts?" Tian Yu said with a smile.

Yelu sneered: "Brother Tian, you are making fun of me." To tell you the truth, if you ask me to shoot a rabbit or a deer, then I am full of confidence. If you want to talk about this war, I really don't know the bottom of my heart. Back then, I followed Emperor Taizong's side, and the battlefield was on the battlefield, but it was either a big victory or a big defeat, anyway, I was racing on the battlefield, and I rarely had the opportunity to fight with real swords and guns. ”

Tian Yu saw that Yelu's thorn was not like a fake, and secretly wondered if this kid was afraid. Although Yelu's thorn is not good, he can be regarded as a high-level person in Nanjing now, but he is not afraid of war. Tian Yu smiled at the moment: "Brother Yelu, don't worry, I think your country will definitely win this battle!" ”

"Really? To be honest, when I first heard that the Zhou army was going north, I was really shocked in my heart, when our Khitan was at its peak, it still suffered a loss in the Central Plains, and now since the Zhou army dares to come to the door, it must be something to rely on. Although Brother Tart Lie also said that our army would win, and Old Man Gao Mohan also said that our army would win, I always felt a little unreliable. Our Khitan hasn't fought a big battle for many years, and famous generals like Yelu Laogu have passed away. Well, I'm a little worried. ”

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a generation of new people replace the old people. Although the old generals are gone, there are still many good generals in your army. The Zhou army claimed to have an army of 300,000, but there were only 30,000 horses left in Nanjing, and there were even generals who took the initiative to fight, what does this mean? It shows that your army has high morale and is not frightened by the Zhou army. The military heart is available! Tian Yu said.

"As soon as you say this, I think of it, this Xiao Dilie is indeed a tiger general, and Brother Tart Lie admires him very much." Yelu stabbed and said, "However, why does Xiao Siwen disagree with him? ”

Yelu thought about the problem, it was still a little simple, perhaps, he simply felt that since Xiao Siwen and Xiao Dilie were from the same faction, they should be angry with the enemy, and there should be no disputes. However, he didn't expect that the current situation was completely different, not for old-school figures like Gao Mohan, but for the invasion of the enemy, and Zhuozhou was in danger. In this case, both of them are dedicated to the country, so naturally they have something to say.

Xiao Siwen is a soldier, Tian Yu knows very well, although Tian Yu does not stay up all night in the military, he is not politically blind. Xiao Siwen did not send troops to rescue Zhuozhou, which seemed to be a very bad decision. However, it was precisely because Xiao Siwen did not move in Nanjing, whether it was Yunzhou (now Datong, Shanxi), Ulzhou (now Lingqiu, Shanxi), and Danzhou (now Miyun, Beijing), the Han army in these places was also watching and watching, and no one dared to act rashly. If Xiao Siwen sent troops and Nanjing was empty, at this time, if the Han army rebelled and knocked down Nanjing, the situation in Shannan would completely change.

But Tian Yu was on the side and said, "The left-behind adults are indeed too conservative. ”

Yelu dragged the thorn and asked, "Brother Yitian, isn't it better to move?" ”

Tian Yu sorted out his thoughts and said: "Zhuozhou is under the nose of Nanjing, close at hand, the adults left behind will not go to the rescue, if Zhuozhou can hold on, it will be fine, in case Zhuozhou is lost." If the Zhou army divides its forces to the Yunzhou area, those places will probably surrender immediately, because they understand that no one will rescue them. It is indeed a bit inconsiderate for the left-behind adults to do this. Of course, the advantage of doing this is still obvious, that is, it has preserved its own strength and can quietly wait for the arrival of the Khitan army. so as to have a decisive battle with the Zhou army. ”

Tian Yu's words to sow discord were completely listened to by Yelu, and he sighed: "Hey, sit in the empty city." Fortunately, our army is coming. ”

"Your Excellency, the Qianhua Army Festival will make General Xiao Dilie pay a visit!" While the two were talking, a servant spoke at the door.

Yelu Thorn's impression of Xiao Dilie is just right, and when he heard that he had visited him, he turned his head and said to the servant: "Hurry up and invite him over." ”

After dragging the thorn, he turned his head and smiled at Tian Yu, and said: "The people of Shannan are poor at the moment, but our Khitan army is still rich. I'll see if this Xiao Dilie is interested in our silk and porcelain. ”

Tian Yu was stunned, no wonder there weren't too many complaints along the way, it turned out that he wanted to come to Nanjing to engage in sales. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh himself. The luxury goods in the south of the Yangtze River were continuously transported to Shangjing, and he himself was rich, but the pockets of the Khitan nobles were deflated. Recently, a minister wrote to Yelujing, asking for a ban on luxury goods, which reflected the situation in Beijing from the side.

Xiao Di walked in in a fierce manner, and bowed to Yelu with a stab on his head: "General, something is wrong. You have to be responsible! ”

This made Xiao Dilie, who was trying to persuade Xiao Dilie to buy his own things, stunned, and after a while, he asked puzzledly: "What's the matter, there are no fakes in what I sell!" ”

At this moment, it was Xiao Dilie's turn to be stunned, and he said in his heart: What a mess. However, he had no time to analyze, and said directly: "General, Zhuozhou is lost!" ”

"Oh." Yelu's throbbing heart, which was hanging in his throat, fell back into his stomach, and the next moment, he jumped up again and said, "What did you say?" Say it again! ”

"General, Zhuozhou is lost! The Zhou army is rushing towards Nanjing! ”

"This... How is this possible, yesterday, yesterday Xiao Si... Didn't Lord Xiao say that Zhuozhou City is impregnable? Jerod was in a hurry.

Xiao Siwen sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and let the Zhou army besiege Zhuozhou for seven or eight days without going to the rescue. One reason is that Zhuozhou City is relatively strong, with 10,000 Khitan troops and 20,000 Han troops in it. 30,000 horses and horses defended the city, and the grain and grass were sufficient, in this case, it was not a problem for Zhuozhou to hold on for a few months. Xiao Siwen can wait until the main Khitan force arrives, the situation in Yanyun settles down, and it is not too late to rescue. But who would have thought that in only nine days, Zhuozhou would be lost.

"What's going on, didn't you say it's solid?" Tian Yu asked on the side, Xiao Siwen swore yesterday's promise, and he also heard it.

"Hey, it's not because of the Han army's mutiny!" Xiao Dilie said: "I heard that during the siege of the city, Yeluchun, the guard general of Zhuozhou, suspected that He Jin, the assassin of Zhuozhou, had bad intentions, so he killed He Jin. Then the Han army rebelled, and it was captured by the Zhou army. ”

"Where did you hear this?" Tian Yu asked.

Xiao Dilie was a little dissatisfied, Zhuozhou lost such a big thing, you don't care. But he asked these trivial things: "In the past two days, it has already spread all over the city of Nanjing, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have advocated the rescue of Zhuozhou several times!" ”
