Chapter 883: There Are Three Candidates for Commander in the Army (Second Update)
Chapter 883
This is not the end, his reprimand will has only been issued for two days, and he has received another news that Yinzhou in Western Xia has only been trapped for a few days under the onslaught of a large number of Song troops, and has fallen.
Syllable...... The left side of his face has just been pumped to the point of Venus, and he hasn't reacted yet, snap! The right side of his face was hit again, and Da Liao's entire face was almost swollen into a pig's head.
Hundreds of thousands of troops pressed the border, but as a result, there was no achievement, but the Song army, which originally thought that it would be frightened by hundreds of thousands of troops and fled in despair, was actually in Youzhou, and withstood the repeated attacks of hundreds of thousands of troops.
And then he kept jumping up and down to do things, slapping Xia Guo's face and Da Liao's face, which was simply naked humiliation.
was so angry that Yelu Hongji, a great Liao emperor who was very particular about demeanor and appearance, slapped the table there in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and burst into foul language.
How else can this be done? Hundreds of thousands of troops have been sent, and they have become such virtuous, what else can be said. Looking at the distant scenery, Yelu Hongji let out a long sigh of melancholy.
What should I do? Now Yelu Hongji is very troubled, and many ministers in the court are like a sudden flash flood, and they have written to attack their own brothers Yelu and Lu Wei.
They all think that the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, the Song King Yelu and His Royal Highness Lu Hu, have limited talents, and they are not good and handsome.
I think that the general should be replaced, at least a general who is more adept at attacking, rather than His Royal Highness the Prince, who is too cautious in the use of troops.
Yelu Hongji had already begun to hesitate, yes, he was already thinking about this possibility in his heart, after all, a whole month had passed, and this brother was still standing still in that Youzhou.
Da Liao's face is about to be lost to him, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are already complaining, as the Son of Heaven, but after all, he is still a wise monarch who is good at accepting people's words (self-proclaimed).
Yelu Hongji walked around the imperial garden, worrying about the country and the people on the one hand, and shooting birds and birds with a bow on the other hand to relieve his worries. A eunuch hurried to the imperial garden, but what he held in his hand was the letter of Li Qianshun, the young lord of the Xia Kingdom.
Hearing that there is Li Qianshun's national letter, Yelu Hongji, who is bending the bow and arrows, is still carefully aiming at the prey, after the immortal hums a string, the wild bird more than ten zhang away was carved and arrowed away several zhang away, in the cheers of a cadre, Yelu Hongji put down the bow with satisfaction, and took the national letter.
"This young boy also has some ability, it has only been not long before he was in power, and the entire Xia Kingdom has already surrendered to his feet." Playing with the national letter in his hand, Yelu Hongji couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"What is this, if it weren't for Your Majesty's decision to support him, I'm afraid that this will be the case, let alone the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, even if you are afraid that you will not be able to sit down as a prince of Western Xia."
"That is, Your Majesty, your grace is known to the whole world, in front of my great Liao's great military might, is there anyone who dares to disobey His Majesty's will?"
Yelu Hongji glanced at these courtiers, did not speak, but opened the letter of state, and soon, the displeasure on his face became more and more deep.
"Your Majesty, could it be that the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom is disrespectful to you in words?" One of the courtiers quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Come and see ......" Yelu Hongji handed over the letter with some impatience, and his subordinates quickly took it with respectful hands, and then opened it and read it.
Soon, the minister's face couldn't help but change. "What does the lord of Western Xia mean by this, crying to me Da Liao?"
"For the sake of his Western Xia, I raised 300,000 troops to uphold justice for him in Western Xia, and it has not been more than a month since then, and he has actually begun to cry poverty to my Great Liao."
"This ...... Xingqing Cang is an important storage place in Western Xia, although this is true, but Western Xia now looks like it can't go on, and asks me for assistance from Da Liao, what is the reason? ”
"Speaking of which, it's not because, because His Highness is too cautious in using troops, and for more than a month, he hasn't gained an inch of land or made an inch......
Listening to the people below chattering crookedly around him, Yelu Hongji, who was bored in his heart, couldn't help but snort coldly, and was so frightened that the ministers who were chattering quickly fell to the ground and pleaded guilty.
"How can I not know the thoughts of Qing and others? But you don't know that changing the commander on the spot is really a taboo for soldiers. Yelu Hongji let out a long sigh helplessly, and rarely explained.
"Your Majesty is reasonable, but now that more than a month has passed, His Royal Highness has not made any achievements, and in the long run, it will inevitably damage my Da Liao's face, and it will also hurt the morale of my Da Liao army, this, I'm afraid I have to guard against it......"
"I don't know, but now ...... Now that I'm in Daliao, who can be reused? Taking on this heavy responsibility? Yelu Hongji nodded, very depressed.
"I don't know the intention of the letter of the lord of Western Xia, I am clearly complaining to me, the Liaoxia coalition army is hundreds of thousands, and there is no way to take a small Youzhou city for more than a month, but I am unwilling to divide the troops to attack the hinterland......"
Yelu Hongji is very smart, and if he is not smart, he will not become the son of Daliao, so he quickly understood the purpose of this letter of state from Li Qianshun, the lord of Western Xia.
But then again, it's not that he doesn't want to change the commander, but the problem is that today's Daliao is short of talents, and most of the people in the DPRK and China are inactive. There are very few people who can be used very much.
At least the people around Yeluhongji, hmm...... Sycophants occupy a huge weight, and there are really not many people who can really do things.
"Your Majesty, if you are worried that the change of commander will have an impact on the army, then it is better to promote talents with sufficient prestige and qualifications from the current army to preside over military affairs?" At this time, an official stepped forward and carefully considered the words and spoke.
"This is a great good, Your Majesty, and the minister also thinks that Lord Yeluping's strategy is very good. In this way, there is no need to worry about the generals not knowing the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals, and they can also control the military power in the shortest possible time. ”
"It's just that among the army, how many people are up to the task?" When Yelu Hongji saw that these courtiers praised this strategy one after another, he couldn't help but feel moved, and his tone naturally loosened a lot.
"The minister thinks that there are three candidates for the commander in the army, one of them, the general Yelu Jinping, this person is brave and good at fighting, and he is very brave in battle, and he often takes the lead, and he is a famous tiger general in my Daliao dynasty."
"Second, Xiao Shen, the superintendent of the army, is talented, resourceful, loyal to Your Majesty, and has also led the army to fight many times, which can be regarded as a rare talent of wisdom and courage in my Daliao."
"Third, Xiao Wuna, the deputy envoy of the supervising army, Xiao Lao is highly respected, good at strategy, and has a broad vision, and has been sent to the Song court many times, dealing with the Song people, and has a deep understanding of the situation of the Song people."
