Yelu Chun's crying made Yelu Yixun not react at once, he let go of the war knife he had been holding tightly, and asked, "King Wei said so, do you have a certificate?" ”

Yeluchun wiped his tears and said, "Bring it in and show it to the angel!" ”

Yelu Yixon looked out, and saw a few little guys holding two plates, and two bloody heads on the plates. It was Xiao Dili and Xiao Yanliu who defected.

Yelu Yixun completely believed Yelu Chun at this time, and asked, "King Wei is really loyal to His Majesty, but I don't know where Yelu Zhangnu is." ”

Yeluchun replied, "The traitor was extremely careful, and stationed outside the city with soldiers and horses, so he could not be booby-trapped. ”

Yelu Yixon hurriedly said, "These two people are punished, and I am afraid that the fang will be aware of it, and it must be exterminated by dispatching troops." ”

As he was talking, a guard hurriedly ran in and said, "King Wei, it's not good, a group of thieves suddenly rushed into the city and are looting. ”

Yeluchun sighed, his eyes rolled and said, "This must be Yelu Zhangnu who didn't know where to get the news and is about to flee from Shangjing, go find the guards and send troops to resist the enemy!" ”

The guards answered, and hurried to give the order.

Yelu Chun guessed very right, Yelu Zhangnu sent Xiao Dili and Xiao Yan to stay in the city, and he had an extra heart, and he had been secretly sending people to keep an eye on these two people, and suddenly saw that these two people would never come out again as soon as they entered the palace, and some people saw that there was a fast horse from the east to enter the city, and they knew that the incident had happened, Yelu Zhangnu was also a person who made a decision on the spot, he immediately judged that in the case of Yelu Chun's non-cooperation, he would not be able to take Shangjing, and the next thing he had to face was Yelu Yanxi's endless pursuit, And the power in his hands is the sergeants who defected with him, and he must find a way to turn these sergeants into people in the same boat with himself, otherwise he will have to open his eyes even to sleep.

How? In later generations, there is a sentence called prostitution together, to put it bluntly, people who have done bad things together, often can trust each other, although Yelu Zhangnu has not heard this sentence, but the truth is to understand, he took the rebels to suddenly rush into the city, looting rich shops everywhere, although Shangjing is one of the five major capitals of Liao, but a hundred years of peace has made the guards here forget how to fight, but also forgot how to defend the capital, caught off guard when he saw the rebels turned around and fled, So that Yelu Zhangnu looted for two hours before slowly going to Zuzhou.

In order to prove his innocence, Yelu Chun rejected Yelu Yixun's advice to lead the escort, and with two heads, he went straight to the east to find Yelu Yanxi and ask for guilt.

Although the Khitan has been established for more than a hundred years, but the internal has not been peaceful, the struggle and rebellion around the throne has never stopped, this is the Khitan has always retained the legacy of the tribal system, so that many nobles have soldiers in their hands, on the one hand, the Khitan state is weakening, so that many people are displaced, giving these careerists the soil for rebellion.

Therefore, when Yelu Yanxi saw that Yelu Chun came alone to ask for sin, he was a little moved in his heart, especially at this time he had just been defeated and urgently needed the support of the internal nobles, so not only did he not blame Ye Luchun in any way, but instead set up a banquet for him in Guangpingdian and crowned him as the king of Qin and Jin. And Yelu Chun also learned that Yelu Yanxi was actually defeated by the Jurchen army because of Yelu Zhangnu's rebellion, and the loss of troops was no less than 300,000, and the foundation of the Liao State had been moved, which can be said to be about to come.

On the other side, Yelu Zhangnu wandered around like a lonely ghost, he led more than 2,000 troops, constantly attacked some small tribes, and then coerced them, and issued a letter to the states and counties, saying that Yelu Yanxi's absurdity and the fiasco of the Jurchen, indicating that the Khitan was in danger, and only by overthrowing Yelu Yanxi could Liao have a new future.

At this time, the news of the fiasco of the Liao State in the northeast spread all around, and for a time the people were panicked and rebellious, and in the northwest of the land of China, the Song army also experienced a major defeat, Wang Hou and Liu Zhongwu with three soldiers and horses were beaten by the Western Xia army with more than half of the losses, and more than 10,000 people were killed in the battle.

In Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Zhongwu and his son had just come out of a camp, Liu Zhongwu let out a long breath and said, "Fortunately, this high palace marshal is willing to accept our respects, otherwise your father and I will be in danger this time." ”

Liu Zhongwu had a total of nine sons, because Liu Zhongwu had a lot of contributions in the Western Army, he was made an official by Zhao Jidu, and the young man next to him was his ninth son, named Liu Qi, who was only seventeen years old at this time.

"Father, we have been defeated so much this time, can he alone cover the past?" Liu Qi felt that his father was thinking too simply, even if Gao Yu was a prisoner, it was impossible to cover the sky with one hand, what this dynasty was best at was checking and balancing each other, and it was impossible for Gao Yu to be the only one who could play the official family.

Liu Zhongwu smiled and said, "Where do you think your Uncle Wang went?" Tong Guan has his own to walk around, and the official family sent two ministers to the Western Army, one is Tong Guan and the other is Gao Yu, neither of them speaks, who else will there be? ”

"O civil servant! Won't those civil servants turn against us? Liu Qi said immediately.

Liu Zhongwu is very satisfied with his youngest son's reaction, yes, there are also civil officials, after all, Tong Guan is an internal official, Gao Yu is a military general, and he can't govern civil officials from the system.

"Wu'er is extraordinary, but he knows the key, but where will those civil officials know about the war report, not to mention that as long as Tong Guan and Gao Yu say that I am waiting for this victory, the official family will listen to those civil officials? Or do you listen to these two?

What's more, we also prepared a generous gift to send to the Taishi of Kaifeng, as long as the Taishi responds, there are civil officials who know about this matter, and if they make trouble to us, the Taishi can also suppress it. Liu Zhongwu taught Liu Qi, "Wu'er must remember that after all, this official family is just one person, what he can hear and see is what those people around him want him to hear and want him to see, so if we and other generals want to make meritorious contributions, we must have a good relationship with the close ministers of those official families, so that our defeat is also merit, and victory is also merit... If you have a bad relationship with those close ministers, you will lose and win!

Liu Qi nodded with a little understanding, he looked at his father, only to feel a little panicked in his heart, he looked up at the sky, the cold winter sky was also gray, and he didn't seem to see any sun...

In the cold winter of Layue, there is also thin ice on the lake surface of Liangshan, this year's winter seems to be colder than last year, on Liangshan, heavy snow is falling, and the soldiers who used to exercise have also made an exception to take a holiday, hiding in the camp to read and write.

A girl in a white robe flew into a courtyard in the back mountain, Niu Gao and Li Zhong, who were performing martial arts, saw the girl and said with a smile, "Huadiao girl, are you here to see the owner of the village?" ”

Huadiao crossed his hands on his hips and said hehe, "What's the matter with the two of you?" You're from the Guards Regiment, and so am I, so can't I report on my work? ”

Saying that, Huadiao was about to go in, Niu Gao hurriedly stopped and said, "My good sister, it's really hard to get in now, the owner of Chao Village and a few gentlemen are talking to the owner of the village inside, if you don't have anything urgent, just wait outside now, or I'll get you some food?" ”

"Go, go, who is rare about your little~" Hua Diao first waved his hand, and then asked curiously, "What's wrong?" When I saw the owner of the village come back two days ago, the faces of several gentlemen were not very good, was it time to fight? ”

"Uh-uh, we didn't say anything!" Niu Gao and Li Zhong shook their hands together, and asked with feverish eyes, "Is there really going to be a war?" Where are you going to fight this time? ”

The two of them shook their heads desperately, looking like I didn't say anything, but they let Hua Diao grab Niu Gao and beat him.

In the house, Jiang De and a few people were sitting in a circle, and Dai Zong was introducing the situation to everyone.

"The lord of the court will be the descendants of Huyanzan in the past, Hu Yanzhuo, this person got Huyanzan's martial arts, good at making two water mill eight-sided steel whips, he was valued by Zhezong when he was a child, and ordered him to select the elite to train in Runing County for future use, and there is an iron cavalry of 3,000 people under his command, which is said to be created by imitating the leather room army of the Liao State, one person and two horses, both are heavily armored iron guns, and they are the elite of the elite of the imperial court.

Besides, the two partial generals, both of whom were recommended by Hu Yanzhuo, one was originally a training envoy of the Chenzhou regiment, surnamed Han, whose name was Tao, was originally from Tokyo, and had been born in martial arts. Make a jujube lance,

People call him General Yum. It is the training envoy of the Yingzhou regiment, surnamed Peng, named Xi, and also a native of Tokyo, and the son of the general. made a three-pointed two-edged knife, outstanding martial arts, and was called General Tianmu.

Both of them are different from other generals, they like to train the most on weekdays, it is said that these two were valued by Hu Yanzhuo during a military exercise in Tokyo, although the official position is not high, and should not be underestimated.

The imperial court gave Hu Yanzhuo the power to dispatch soldiers and horses from Yun, Ji, Pu and Qi, and these three generals also brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from their headquarters, because the weather was cold at this time, so they did not rush to send troops, but prepared to wait for March next year, and then send troops after the weather was warm. ”

Jiang De looked at Zhu Wu and asked, "Mr. Zhu, do you estimate how many soldiers and horses this Hu Yanzhuo will bring in the end?" ”

Zhu Wu replied, "This depends on whether General Huyan knows the soldiers or not, if the rumors are correct, I guess this Huyanzhuo will definitely order the soldiers and horses of the four states to besiege first, and he will wait for me with the soldiers and horses of his headquarters outside After I get out of the mountain, I will use his iron cavalry to fight a decisive battle with our army." ”

Jiang De nodded, this is not much different from the original book.

"Lord, if this Hu Yanzhuo really guards us and waits for the mountain water, it will be troublesome, but Lu Yuanwai is waiting for my support." Xu Guanzhong reminded.

"The owner of the village, my Liangshan soldiers are strong and strong, how capable do you think Hu Yanzhuo is? I'm willing to take my soldiers and horses and fight them! Chao Gai saw that Jiang De and the others had some scruples, so he patted his chest and said, these days, he has been guarding the mountain every day, and he has long been so stuffy that he can't stand it anymore.

"The battle spirit of the master of Chaozhai is like fire, but it is a good thing, but at this time, the weather is cold, and the court knows that it will not use swords and guns until spring, and we will let the brothers have a good year first." Jiang De said with a smile, "In any case, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, the confidential battalion should strengthen the investigation of the news, and the soldiers and horses of all departments should be loose outside and tight inside, and prepare for war at any time, as for Yunzhou and other places... Let them act according to the will of the court first, and only need to report the news from time to time. ”

In the cold winter wind, the five years of Zhenghe passed, the winter went to spring, the sixth year of Zhenghe began, and the war horn of the land of China in this year was sounded first in the northeast.

In the sixth year of Zhenghe, in the first month, there was turmoil in the city of Tokyo, Liaoguo, and more than a dozen Bohai teenagers, after drinking, took a short blade over the wall and entered the home of Xiao Baoxian, who was left behind in Tokyo, and assassinated him.

After this incident, the city of Tokyo immediately became in chaos, Tokyo was originally the old land of the Bohai Kingdom, it took more than 20 years for Liao Taizu to fight down, and now the Bohai people still often miss their homeland, and the Khitan people do not know how to compensate, but often forcibly expropriate and expropriate, so as soon as there is turmoil, there are Bohai people everywhere to take the opportunity to kill the Khitan people to vent their anger.

At this time, there was a Tokyo general Gao Yongchang, at this time with 3,000 troops stationed in Tokyo City, he and most of his sergeants were Bohai people, he watched Yelu Yanxi in front of the Jurchen army repeatedly defeated, felt that the Liao State had sunset, he also had a chance, so he took the opportunity to rebel, the local Bohai people because he was also a Bohai people, and under the banner of Bohai restoration, they joined his team, and within a few days there were more than 8,000 people, he took soldiers and horses around to attack the state capital, and soon won dozens of states and counties, Gao Yongchang saw that things were going so smoothly, and his brain was hot, and he established the name of the country, proclaiming himself the emperor of the Great Bohai Kingdom, the country name Dayuan, and the year name Longji.

At this time, Yelu Yanxi, who had just regained his strength and was ready to attack the Jurchens again, had to withdraw his troops again, turn his horse's head and exterminate the Bohai rebels first.

When the news reached Wanyan Aguta's ears, Aguta couldn't help but thank the gods and firmly believed that he had the blessing of the gods, otherwise how could he explain that someone would help him get through the difficulties at every critical moment? After this winter, the Jurchen digested the fruits of this great war, and he felt that he no longer had to be afraid of the Liao.

- Kaifeng

"Lord Zheng, my lord said, as long as Lord Zheng is willing to help, my lord is willing to help you ascend to the position of Dazai!"

Zheng Juzhong looked at the person in front of him, and was a little hesitant in his heart, of course he knew how big the power was behind the person in front of him, but this help was not a small favor, but it was for him to confront that Cai Jing... After so many years, is it a good end for one of the people who are playing against Cai Jing?

But Dazai's position is so attractive, Dazai, in the political and restructuring of the original left servant and the door of the servant changed to Dazai and the door of the servant, that is to say, the position of Dazai is the position of the prime minister, that is under one person, above ten thousand, the ultimate that literati can achieve.

"Today's official family is very fond of the Taishi, even if I have the heart, I am powerless..."Zheng Juzhong is still sober after all, knowing that the gap between himself and Cai Jing is not small, although he has a sister who is a concubine, but it does not mean that he is much closer to Zhao Ji, without the favor of the official family, how far can he go?

"My lord has his own way, in fact, this time the lord sent me not only to find the adult's family, if the adult is unwilling, naturally there are still people who will." The man's slightly threatening words made Zheng Juzhong angry and annoyed, and he said, "Is it really worth it for you to go against the Taishi for that little money?" ”

"It's worth it or not, but it's what my lord said, please give me a reply."

Zheng Juzhong finally agreed, fame and fortune are moving, nothing more than that, even if it is the hope of Sancheng, he is willing to take this risk... After all, he is Concubine Zheng's brother, no matter what, it should be fine... He comforted himself.
