Chapter 1427: Yelu has no successor, isn't there still the Xiao family?
"What!?"
The face of the goddess turned pale, and a look of despair could be seen in her eyes.
His father Yeluchun died of illness, although he was not his biological mother and daughter, but he also wanted to be honored as a queen Xiao Puxian's daughter Although she was temporarily regent of the government, she did not have the ability to govern the country like Xiao Xuan, the emperor of Chengtian, who led the Liao Dynasty into the heyday of national power, especially now at the critical juncture of the country's decline, and the newly canonized Liao Dynasty lord Yeluding has shallow knowledge, as for his father Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi...... If it weren't for the faint monarch who knew well to the Liao Dynasty, the political system of the Liao State would not have collapsed in a few years, and the Jin State would have taken advantage of it.
If the destruction of the country is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to return to heaven, then the heavy responsibility of restoring the country must also fall on the children of the Yelu clan who are outstanding in ability and prestige within the Khitan clan. Then Yelu Dashi, who supported the situation of the remnants of the Liao army in Nanjing with Xiao Gan, defeated the Song army and gained a glimmer of hope for the continuation of the Great Liao, is undoubtedly the most suitable person to lead the Khitan people who do not want to be slaves of the country to continue to resist Jin.
But now Yelu Dashi has also been captured by Jin Junsheng...... Answer: Although he and Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao have the courage to lead the army, but they do not have the talent to revive the country, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to fight with the Jin Kingdom to the end.
Seeing that the children of the rest of the Liao Dynasty clans such as Alibi, Yelu Guozhen, Yelu Guobao and other Liao generals were all despaired, although Xiao Tang was inconvenient to express his true thoughts, he concluded that although Yelu Dashi was temporarily captured by the Jin army, he, a male lord with his own eloquence and strategy, also had the wit to adapt to the situation, and this time he should be able to save the day.
Because in the official history, Yelu Dashi was captured by the Jin army, but later escaped, but after defecting to Emperor Tianzuo, Yelu Yanxi could not forgive him for his actions of standing up Yelu Chun as the emperor and deposing himself when he was in Yanjing, and the military power was stripped away, knowing that there was no hope of confronting the Jin State for the country's life, Yelu Dashi immediately led more than 200 horsemen under his command to escape overnight, and along the way he incorporated the various departments of the Fan army, and established the Western Liao Empire in Central Asia and continued the Liao Dynasty......
In other words, even if Yelu Dashi would eventually turn the danger into a disaster, and indeed made a great achievement, these Khitan tribesmen who still stayed in their homeland and did not want to be ruled by the Jurchens for generations could no longer be expected to lead the people to prosper the Great Liao.
Of course, Xiao Tang would not say to Da Libi and others that he seemed to be an uncertain prophet, not to mention that after discussing with Xiao Jiasui and other confidants, it is said that Xiao Tang had considered whether it was possible and necessary to join forces with Yelu Dashi, but now he has also made up his mind: since some people think that there is no hope of recovering the country and migrate westward, from my standpoint, it is better to let him go......
The people in front of them were still gloomy, and they were saddened by nothing more than their hearts were dead. Xiao Tang coughed lightly, and then comforted: "People have good fortune and misfortune, the country has the rise and fall of power, the princess and the two princes are sad, but only according to the current situation, although the fortune of the Jin country is like the sky, many people under the rule are also forced to surrender because of the situation." The Jin State thought that it was invincible in the world, and the court was rampant and greedy, but the time of encroaching on the territory of the Liao Dynasty was not long. Since you must also think of big things, Hugh has fallen into ambition because of the current decline. ”
Although he listened to Xiao Tang's persuasion, his face was stunned, and he didn't say anything for a while, and Yelu Guozhen, who was beside him, scolded fiercely and said: "Even if I don't wait for my descendants to be ashamed of the ancestors, the Khitan people still have good blood men after all, how can they be willing to be a cow and a horse for the golden dog, and even the descendants must be slaves for hundreds of generations!?" Now I should give it a go, even if my life is broken, I am happy to die! It's just that now there are many rebellions among the children of my Yelu clan who have turned upside down and defected to the Golden Dog, and the rest of the people who are determined to defend the country and resist have died in battle, those who have been captured, and even Dashi Linya has ...... Alas! ”
Yelu Guozhen gritted his teeth and resented, but he and Yelu Guobao brothers also had some self-knowledge, and they tried to resist the Jin State to revive the Khitan race, this burden could not be borne by only their brothers, and even the clan sister Ta Libi, who had always been respected.
However, at this time, He Chongbao, who had been silent and also had a sad and angry face, thought about it for a moment, but seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Since the establishment of the national dynasty in my Khitan, Yelu and Xiao and Yi have been in solidarity. Xiao Renxia is from the Xiao family of my Liao Dynasty, and now since he has also decided to lead the righteous soldiers under his command to resist the golden dog with the same enemy as me, how can there be no hope of recovering the country if the last general and the soldiers under his command still have a breath of air? ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Alibi, Yelu Guozhen, and Yelu Guobao changed slightly. Although He Chongbao did not speak thoroughly, Xiao Tang had previously served as an envoy to the Liao Dynasty as an envoy of the Song court, and had met the emperor of the country, and had intersections with Dashi Linya, He Chongbao and other Chinese military courtiers, and also caused a lot of turmoil during the envoy...... Answer: How did Li Xiao and the others not know that although Xiao Tang was first a high-ranking official and important minister of the Song court, and then rebelled out of the court to become the most powerful anti-army leader in the Song Kingdom, but to get to the bottom of the source, isn't he also from the Xiao family who has shared weal and woe with the Yelu clan since the establishment of the Liao Dynasty!?
However, whether He Chongbao deliberately did it or not, what he said seemed to be a pun, expecting Xiao Tang to gather his soldiers and horses to fight against the Jin State side by side with the rest of the Liao Dynasty, but he also seemed to be willing to serve him as the master, which also taught Li Bao and the others to immediately have a wave in their hearts. The Yelu clan has been a royal family of the Liao Dynasty for generations, how can they teach others to get involved in the throne?
But now it is different from the past, and now the situation of the lost country is powerless to change, and there is probably no hope for the restoration of the country. In case one day the golden dog can be driven out and the country can be recovered...... If you insist on maintaining the orthodoxy of the Liao Dynasty's royal family, instead of continuing to teach the Jurchens to enslave the Khitan people for generations, or would you rather teach the descendants of the Xiao family, who are related to the Yelu clan, to compete with the country?
There was silence for a while in the hall of Luannan County, and among the henchmen and leaders under Xiao Tang, Xiao Jiasui, Shi Xiu and others were all careful and alert people. Listening to He Chongbao's words, their minds turned quickly, and their faces were silent, but they were actually paying attention to the changes in the expressions on the faces of Alibi, Yelu Guozhen, and Yelu Guobao.
As for Xiao Tang, who also didn't know whether what He Chongbao said intentionally or unintentionally, he also pretended to be confused, and just said: "Compared with the army that was subservient to the power of the Jin country, and so far could not raise his head or straighten his waist, He Tongjun and the princess have struggled to support it to this day with a breath of blood in their chests, which also shows your determination to fight to the death.
The daughters of the Zhizhu were originally fishing and hunting in the white mountains and black waters, and their temperament was fierce and fierce, but now they have annexed the territory of the Khitan and the people, and they are ambitious, and they are even more happy to fight with horses. Once it was able to make a fortune, I am afraid that it was not only the people of the Liao Dynasty who suffered from military disasters...... Most of the brothers under my command are heroes who are not afraid to poke a hole in the sky, and they don't want to watch the Jin Kingdom occupy this country. Taking advantage of its arrogance, it is good to plan the layout, and we are only dormant for a while, and we also have the opportunity to redeem the general trend. ”
He Chongbao said ambiguously, and Xiao Tang's words seemed to have a different meaning. Answer: Libi couldn't help but look at Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao again, and from the faces of several people, they all seemed to have complicated thoughts. It's just that they all know very well that no matter what happens in the future, now they can only rely on Xiao Tang to listen to his arrangement to recuperate, and then try to resist Jin Guo. There is no other way out.
