Chapter 33 Lai Liushui Oath
In addition, in the Liao State in the north, the Khitan people grazed cattle and sheep and lived in pursuit of water and grass, so that the emperors of all dynasties had the custom of "making bowls". Autumn and winter are cold, summer is to escape the heat, and each has its own four seasons. Spring is generally in the duck river; There is often no fixed place in summer, mostly in Tuer Mountain; Qiuduo is in Fuhurim or Gyeongju; In winter, it is in Guangpingdian.
The bowl is that the emperor deals with the government while fishing and hunting. It can really be said that fishing and hunting are both in the right place.
In the autumn of the northern country, the blue sky and the breeze were blowing, and Emperor Liao Tianzuo took his ministers to hunt in Gyeongju. Gyeongju hunting ground, with dense forests with side by peak. Emperor Tianzuo took a bow and a horse to lead his ministers to hunt.
Suddenly, a group of wild deer was startled in the forest, Tianzuo stretched his bow and arrow, and a deer fell to the ground with an arrow, and everyone cheered: "Long live my emperor!" Long live our emperor! β
Tianzuo raised his bow on his horse, and Xiao Fengxian, the privy envoy of the North Court, came to the emperor's horse first, and hugged his fists and complimented: "Your Majesty, the true divine arrow is also." "The eagle bearer is five squares, and the arm of the falcon" Hai Dongqing "stands on the horse.
At this time, the chirping of swans was heard in the sky. The ministers shouted in unison: "Swan! Swan! Tianzuo looked up and saw several swans flying, "Release the eagle!" Eagles! β
Wufang quickly opened the chain lock, Hai Dongqing, Hai Dongqing looked up at the swan and did not move, in a hurry, Wufang threw Hai Dongqing into the sky, but Hai Dongqing circled in the air and fell on Wufang's shoulder.
Tianzuo looked at it and snorted: "Hai Dongqing, who has always been tame, doesn't listen to me?" What's the use of staying, before falling to death! β
Wufang grabbed Hai Dongqing with both hands and lifted it above his head to fall, Xiao Fengxian approached the prelude and said: "Your Majesty, after all, this eagle has served the saint for many years, so let's let it go." β
Tianzuo thought to himself, what happened to Lord Xiao today? He looked at the Hai Dongqing and waved his hand, and said, "Well, Lord Xiao is still compassionate, so let it go." Wufang threw Hai Dongqing into the sky, and Hai Dongqing flew into the blue sky at this time, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this time, a messenger from a fast horse came to the Tianzuo horse from far and near. The messenger dismounted and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Huanglong Mansion will send an urgent secret letter." "Turn to the Privy Council, and the servant of the Privy Council, Jeremy Axi, dismount and take the secret letter.
Ah Xi Bao, whose full name is Yelu Ah Xi Bao, is the clan of Tianzuo, this person is upright and dares to speak out and never flatter, and his words often make Xiao Fengxian, Prime Minister Li Chuwen and others unhappy. "Readβ" Tianzuo ordered unquestionably.
A Xi Bao read the letter: According to the Ningjiang Prefecture Kuaimalai Newspaper, the Jurchen Wanyan Chieftain A Guta-
As soon as he read this, Tianzuo raised his hand and glanced at Ah Xibao. "Nonsense! What Jurchen, Jurchen! Tianzuo turned his gaze to the crowd, "My ancestor Xingzong is afraid of 'Zongzhen', and he must avoid the word 'true', and he is not allowed to call 'Jurchen' in the future, but 'Nuzhi'!" Remember? β
The people knelt on their knees: "Follow the hadith!" Tianzuo said arrogantly: "Keep reading, what's wrong with that wild boy Aguta?" In his heart, he doesn't look down on people in the mountains.
Ah Xibao then read again - it is reported that Ah Gu killed the silver angel, blocked the eagle road, deliberately rebelled, and hoped that the emperor would make a decision as soon as possible.
At the end of the letter, the Northeast Unified Army Division made Xiao Wuna respectful.
Tianzuo raised his head and said to himself: "Ah Gu is so bold that he dares to kill the silver angel of this dynasty, it is simply a rebellion!" β
Ah Xibao handed the letter to Tianzuo, who took the letter, clutched it up and threw it on the ground: "Hmph, it's this Ah Gu Beat again!" β
Ah Xi Bao said: "Your Majesty, this Ah Guda is submissive on the surface, but in fact, he is obscure, and now he is killing the officials of the court, gathering soldiers and horses, and blocking the Eagle Road. His rebellion is clearly revealed, and he hopes that the saint will make up his mind as soon as possible. β
Tianzuo asked, "What about the wishes?" Ah Xibao said: "If you go back to the emperor, this Ah Guda, who embarrassed the saint at the 'head fish banquet', has always been unruly, and has always been obsessed with my Daliao. β
Ah Xibao glanced at Xiao Fengxian, and said: "The last time the minister sent the envoy to finish the Yan Ministry, I saw them build weapons, build cities and forts, and have plotted against them. β
Tianzuo's face was gloomy and he said, "Aiqing is reasonable. β
Ah Xibao played again: "This Ah Guda has strategy and courage, and he is not an idle person, so he must not be underestimated. β
Ah Xibao's words made Xiao Fengxian very uncomfortable, he squinted his eyes and looked at Ah Xibao, and took over the conversation impatiently and said, "Hey, Lord Shiyu, isn't it the chief of the Wanyan Department, Ah Guta?" Why make a fuss, I expect it to be a disease of scabies, not for the trouble of the henchmen, and you don't want to think about it, how can a small wild tribe dare to compete with my Da Liao Khitan! If he dares to raise an army to rebel, then he will hit a stone with an egg - bring about his own destruction!"
Tianzuo glanced at Xiao Fengxian: "Fengxian, what Lord Ah Xibao said is not unreasonable, only if you are prepared, you will be fine." β
Xiao Fengxian thought that Ah Xibao was competing for favor in front of the emperor and beating himself, and he felt very shameless, and he was very jealous in his heart. At this time, Tianzuo immediately ordered Ah Xi to write a cursive letter, and ordered Xiao Wuna, the envoy of the Northeast Unified Army, to personally lead the elite soldiers to Ningjiang Prefecture, an important border town, to strengthen the defense. How dare Ah Xibao be lazy, the attendants presented pen and ink, and waved on a flat stone, after Tianzuo saw it, the messenger quickly returned to Huanglong Mansion, and Tianzuo continued to lead the ministers to hunt.
Under the same blue sky, this day seems to be no different from the previous days, but this day is different from the previous days.
In the northeast of the Liao State, in the land of Gaofu on the bank of the Laishui River, the Jurchen soldiers and horses were neatly arranged. In the big tent, Ah Gu meditates in the north and faces south, and the Bo Jin is divided on the left and right. He glanced at the crowd and asked, "Have you all arrived?" β
Sakai said, "Chief, only Bharhuo has not yet arrived. β
"He hasn't arrived yet? What a Bolu fire! Aguta's expression was serious.
The water flows quietly, the wasteland on both sides is endless, occasionally dotted with patches of woods, and in the distance there are hundreds of grain and grass carts wandering forward. Bo Lu Huo is also finished with Yan's family, this person is tall, with thick eyebrows and beard, and carries a mace under the crotch of "Chrysanthemum Blue" and the deputy general Sanda and walks side by side.
Sanda said: "Bo Jin has worked so hard and collected more grain and grass, the chief must be very happy, maybe he will have to reward Bo Jin again." β
Bo Lu Huo said earnestly: "To be able to serve the Wanyan Division, to be able to serve the chief, is what I should do and ask for some reward, tell the grain truck to hurry up and don't miss the hour." β
Sanda urged the horses forward to lead the convoy forward, but when their vehicle crossed the water, the car was stuck in the mud and sand and could not move forward.
In the big tent by the water, Ah Guda was waiting for the arrival of the Bolu fire. An hour later, Boluhuo pushed the door and entered, half-kneeling and reported: "Boluhuo escorts grain and grass to arrive." β
Ah Guda looked angry: "What time is it?"
"Back to the chief, it's noon." Boruhuo replied. Ah Gu asked sharply, "How long will it be as agreed?" Bolu Huo said: "The time." β
Ah Gu thug slapped a few cases and reprimanded: "Liao Hui City is only fifty miles away from here, and it is an hour late!" Bo Luhuo wanted to explain the reason for his belation, but he stopped talking.
Sanda said: "Chief Yu, Bolu Huo Bo Jin has collected fifty more carts of grain and grass, and the car is stuck in the mud and sand when crossing the water, it is too late. Ah Guda was willing to listen, and said: "If you miss the time, you will violate the military order and will be engaged in military law!" β
After hearing this, Sagai pleaded: "Chief, Bolu Huo has collected more grain and grass, even if he does not reward or punish, he will be exempted from the crime." Xi Yin also pleaded for Bo Luhuo: "The minister is right, so let's be spared." At this time, everyone knelt down and pleaded for the Bharhuo.
Ah Guda still had a serious expression and said: "No, military law is like a mountain, the merits are clear, and if you disobey the order before you go to the battle, no matter what the reason, as long as you violate the military law, you will never be forgiven!" β
Bolu Huo said: "I, Bolu Huo, am willing to be punished. And when he had finished speaking, he went to his armor and knelt down on the ground to accept the punishment. Ah Gu said sharply: "Someone! Twenty military sticks of heavy responsibility! β
Two strong men came in outside the tent, Bo Lu Huo lay on the ground and was punished, the military stick rained down, blood soaked into his underwear, Bo Lu Huo did not say a word, and after the heavy responsibility, Bo Lu Huo stood up slowly.
Sakai whispered to Zong Wang, "Go and change your clothes." Hearing this, Zong Wang helped Bo Lu Huo out of the big tent.
Ah Guda looked at the back of Bo Lu Huo and sighed: "I can't bear to blame Bo Lu Huo, but military law is like a mountain, I should not be rewarded for his more grain and grass; But he violated military law and deserved to be punished, so he didn't talk about it. Now this chief solemnly declares that he has decided to do it tomorrow! β
Zhu Bojin clasped his fists and said in unison: "Follow the chief and don't avoid the sword, and never give up!" β
In the land of Gaofu, flags are displayed, colorful flags are fluttering, and the military horses of the Jurchen tribes gather.
Forty-seven-year-old Wanyan Aguta, riding an ochre white horse, galloped to the city accompanied by several generals. He has a pheasant tail on his head, braided hair hanging down his shoulders, pig's teeth on his neck, and a short left coat. Surrounded by Sagai, Xi Yin, Xi Bushi, A Lihe, Wu Qimai, Xianye, Pu Jianu and others, they boarded the parade platform. The trumpets sounded in unison, and everyone stood on the left and right in turn.
Ah Gu burned incense and knelt down: "The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestral heroic spirit is above!" β
Then, he stood up and poured a full glass of rice wine, raised his glass with both hands and said: "The first king overcame thorns and thorns, and it was difficult to start a business. With a word, he spilled the wine on the ground.
He raised his spear again: "My Jurchen is a Liao country, and I am unscrupulous and obedient. Ordered to quell the rebellion of Wuchun and Womou Han, and break the people in Xiaohai, but the Liao Dynasty was not rewarded for its merits, plundered my assets and insulted my people's daughters, and the sinner Ah Jiu repeatedly asked for no return, so that the heavens complained and people were angry. Today, I, a Guda general, led the Jurchen sons to raise troops to fight crimes, and rebelled against the Liaoxi expedition to comfort the hopes of all the people! β
As soon as the words fell, the crowd was excited. The soldiers raised their swords and guns and shouted in unison: "Heaven bless!" The Jurchens will win! The Liao Kingdom will perish! β
Aguda picked up the spear and passed it to the generals in turn, saying, "You and others will do their best with one heart, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and reward them for meritorious deeds." The slave and maid department is a civilian, and a commoner can be an official, and the first official is to advance. If I break my oath, I will die under the iron spear! β
At the end of the ceremony, the congratulatory people rattle bells and beat drums, dance shamanic dances and pray for it.
Ah Guda walked off the altar and flew on his horse, shouting: "All walks of life, the whole team is set off!" β
