Chapter 99 No reward for resignation-10

"The Rus' rebellion has not yet been quelled, and the Romani Turks are making trouble again."

The news of Xia Guohe's tightness was quickly sent to Yelu Dashi. Yelu Dashi poured himself a cup of koji, and waved his hand to let Yelu Tiege pour himself a cup too. In the past ten days, because of the defeat of the sailors and the inability to attack Ezhou for a long time, Yelu Dashi has always had a gloomy face, and now he finally laughed rarely: "I hit the wild boar, I was worried about provoking the tiger, and now the tiger is busy chasing the bear, we can rest assured that we can fight the wild boar." Jerodashi raised his head and drank the wine. This southeastern wine is not as strong as the spirits of the Northland, but it has a unique flavor after drinking a glass or two occasionally.

"This is the Immortal Heaven to bless my Great Liao," Yelu Tiege drank the wine syrup, frowned, and said, "Wanyan Zongbi has been locked up for more than ten days, what should I do with this person?" "A few days ago, the water master was defeated, and Yelu Dashi was furious and ordered Wanyan Zongbi to be imprisoned, but it has not been released. The Jurchen Sailor lacks a commander, the army has no fighting spirit, and it is not the opponent of the Song Navy. In the past few days, the surface of the Dajiang River has been almost completely controlled by the Song army. The warships of the Song Dynasty came and went freely on the river, and even the sword boats and boats dared to go deep into the Han River to spy on the military situation of the Liao army, which made Yelu Tiege quite a headache.

"Let's let it out first." Yelu Dashi leaned back comfortably, closed his eyes and pondered.

The east and west are thousands of miles apart, although the soldiers are brave, but they are tired of running, which is the biggest weakness of the Xia Kingdom. As early as when Yelu Dashi was on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, he pondered the situation of the Xia Kingdom very thoroughly. According to the military information obtained in the past, although Rohm Tuque is an emerging power, the power of the Great Food represented by it is a power that has dominated the West for more than a hundred years. Now that Roma has destroyed Egypt and the Baghdad Caliphate, it seems to be the co-master of the Great Food Force, and it is not possible for Xia to clean up the situation in the west in just a few months. In this way, the Liao State had much more time to attack the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Dashi opened his eyes and stood up suddenly, looking energetic, and the fatigue and anxiety of the previous days were gone. He patted the privy envoy of the Northern Court on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The warriors have been attacking the city for days, tonight slaughtering cattle and sheep to reward the three armies, and before dawn tomorrow, I will personally supervise the battle, and all the troops will take turns to attack Hanyang." ”

Yelu Dashi said as he walked: "After telling Yan Zongbi, I don't care what he does, even if he can't defeat the sailors of the Southern Dynasty, when I attack Hanyang City, don't let those flies and mosquitoes on the water of the Southern Dynasty buzz around." Brother Yelu Tiege smiled and obeyed, since His Majesty ascended the throne, his majesty has become increasingly heavy, and it is rare to be so unrestrained, he followed Yelu Dashi down the emperor's camel cart, and the four quarters immediately followed behind.

His Majesty's military order to reward the three armies was passed down, and the camp that stretched for dozens of miles was thunderous. After the defeat of the water division, the Liao soldiers attacked Hanyang City from the west by land, not to mention the loss of the generals, because the Song army and the water division blocked the river, the North Courtyard did not dare to send the brigade to Jiangdong, and the Liao cavalry who had crossed the river also hurriedly retreated more than ten miles from the city of Ezhou. The morale of the military has fallen to the extreme. Many generals in the Liao army have followed Yelu Dashi to fight in the north for more than ten years, and these days, although His Majesty has not blamed, everyone understands His Majesty's anger, and they are worried one by one. Now that the order was given to reward the three armies, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and for a while, cattle and sheep were slaughtered everywhere. In addition to the men and horses on duty, all battalions have opened a ban on alcohol, and the Khitans, Jurchens, and Xi people are all addicted to alcohol, and after drinking, the troops sing loudly around the bonfire: "The warriors ride horses and bend their bows, and the warriors are wise and brave,

We are loyal to the glory of the Great Liao,

Immortal Heaven bless us, Your Majesty is watching us,

We are strong and strong, and we are like a storm that sweeps the world......"

Yelu Dashi and Yelu Tiege were lightly dressed and walked to a bonfire, and the soldiers did not recognize them, but they knew that they were Khitans, so they handed him a bowl of wine, Yelu Dashi took it with a smile, drank it all, there was a gap in the wine bowl, and the wine spilled the white robe, Yelu Dashi laughed, simply ripped open his clothes, handed the wine glass to Yelu Tiege, and together with the army, he clapped his hands and sang loudly.

On a scorching summer night, the singing spread far away. More than ten miles away from the Liao army camp, in a dilapidated thatched house, the child shrank in his mother's arms and shivered. "Don't be afraid, not afraid." The mother gently touched the child's head and sang in a low voice, "Oh oh And Daddy, and Daddy, Daddy, come back quickly......"

The child gradually fell asleep in his mother's arms, and Li put him on the bed, walked outside, and saw that the man in the family was sharpening a sharp knife, and couldn't help but lose color and said: "Master, what are you going to do?" Zhou Qian looked back at the woman's hungry face, his heart was sour, his face was gloomy, he shook his head and said: "In this year, I can't live, instead of starving to death as a family, it is better to go to Hanyang to join the army." As soon as the words fell, Lee's tears fell. Just a few days ago, a group of merchants went around collecting cattle, sheep and other livestock, saying that they were supplying the Liao army as military rations, and they threw two strings of money at the door and took the cattle away.

The Zhou family was originally a wealthy family, in addition to dozens of acres of paddy fields, they also opened a sesame oil mill. Zhou Qian doesn't like to read, but he loves fists and feet, which makes Old Man Zhou angry enough. After marrying a wife and having children, his heart is finally more restrained. Unexpectedly, when the Liao invaded, a group of profiteers who aided in the abuse took advantage of the situation and took away the fields, industries, and houses of the Zhou family. Master Zhou was so angry that he whimpered for his life, and his last words also let Zhou Qian live a good life and farm to live, and he must not seek revenge, and he lost his life.

"After I leave, the old lady and children in the family will all depend on you." Zhou Qian said gloomily, "As soon as the food is paid, I will ask someone to send it back." Li nodded with tears in her eyes, and turned to pack her husband's bags. There are few clothes in the family, and one of them is left behind by the dead father-in-law. Before dawn and the child was still asleep, Zhou Qian pinned the sharpened knife to his waist, covered it with his clothes, said goodbye to his wife, and left home to join the army. Zhou Qian felt the crying gaze behind him, and he didn't look back, the cool night breeze blew through his thin clothes, and his sturdy body seemed to be trembling slightly.

At the head of Hanyang City, the noise and singing in the Liao military camp came, and the defenders were a little uneasy. The morale of the enemy has been greatly boosted, in short, it is not a good thing. "I don't know what kind of nerves Liao dog has?" Ouyang Shan muttered, he leaned against the city wall, leaned out, and saw the bonfire in the thick night like stars, and he couldn't see the truth.

"Maybe Yelu Dashi died," Zhao Xingde said with a smile, "The people of the Liao Kingdom are rewarding the three armies when the new emperor ascends the throne." After drinking this wine, they themselves drew their swords and started to fight for the throne. He looked up into the distance, and the stars twinkled in the night sky. Did the Khitans also kill each other? Ouyang Shan asked, with some expectation on his face.

"If you really want to kill, it's much more powerful than the Central Plains." Zhao Xingde shook his head, restrained his smile, and said in a low voice, "No matter how they toss themselves, let's do our own things well, there is no gap, even if the Khitan people are ten times more, there is no need to be afraid." He turned his head and ordered, "By the way, everyone is in charge of the banquet, what do the officers think?" Ouyang Shan smiled: "Eat fragrant and drink spicy, what else do you have to say." Zhao Xingde's eyes were a little complicated, and he nodded and said, "That's good." The war has dragged on for a long time, and many of the barracks have become dilapidated, and I have ordered that some clean and spacious courtyards be cleared out of the city for the officers and their dependents. Fresh meat and vegetables are delivered every day. If the officer's house is quiet, he can move into these small courtyards. ”

"The family members of the last general are all in Bianliang," Ouyang Shan's face was gloomy, and he hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your compassion." ”

............

In Xiangyang City, a group of Liao cavalry gathered outside the city, exhausted from the long journey, but with suppressed excitement in their eyes.

Under the city gate, Xiao Zhonggong looked behind him timidly, Zhang Xian stared, his lips moved slightly. Xiao Zhonggong was fluent in Chinese, and he could read Zhang Xian's warning words just by his mouth. Thinking of the rumors that the Zhenguo Army was eating human flesh in Shuzhou, Xiao Zhonggong couldn't help but shudder. After falling into the hands of Zhenguo Army, Xiao Zhonggong even had nightmares.

"We are General Xiao Xiangsheng's subordinates, open the city gate quickly!" Xiao Zhonggong's face was facing the city, and his smile was more ugly than crying.

The head of the city replied loudly: "Xiangyang is an important town in the southern expedition, Your Majesty has a decree, other troops and horses are not allowed to enter the city, you are stationed outside the city, and wait for the arrangement of General Xiao Lila." Xiao Lili looked at this miserable defeated army, the accent of Shangjing was very pleasant, and he had heard of Xiao Zhonggong's name.

"My lord," Xiao Zhonggong turned his head to look at Zhang Xian, and said with a sad face, "They don't let us enter the city, only let us be stationed outside the city." ”

"Whatever you say, we have to go into the city to report on the military situation in Shuzhou!" Zhang Xian's brows furrowed, and he lowered his voice and shouted.

Among the thousands of Khitan captives in Shuzhou, it was not easy to pick out this guy, not only shot to death, but it is also said that his family background is also a powerful royal relative in Shangjing, and his family once asked the capital commander Xiao Lira, and asked Xiao Lila to help transfer Xiao Zhonggong to the imperial camp. Even if Xiao Lili didn't help, at least he had heard of Xiao Zhonggong.

Xiao Zhonggong complained bitterly, but he didn't dare to disobey, turned to the city, and said loudly: "I want to enter the city and report the defeat of Shuzhou in detail to Xiao Lili. His heart was beating a drum, and he didn't know if Xiao Lira still remembered himself. The commander of the capital has already ordered this cadre to be stationed outside the city, and he is still verbose, and in a fit of anger, he ordered to shoot himself to death with arrows, isn't it good?

"Report on the military? What is there to repay? Xiao Lili frowned, and suddenly remembered the rumors that Brother Temu abandoned the army and fled, which led to the defeat of Shuzhou, Xiao Hulira was a little dissatisfied with His Majesty's command of the army and handed over a foreigner, and now with Xiao Zhonggong, a person who has experienced it, he wants to hear the battle of Shuzhou with his own ears.

"Let him go into the city alone." Xiao Lili commanded. The drawbridge was lowered, and the city gate slowly opened a crack......
