Chapter 6 Down: Wu Gu Liao skillfully won the prime minister
In the sixth round, Wu Gu Yao skillfully won the prime minister
In front of the leaders of the tribes, Wu Gu Yao was both a high official and a heavy reward, and he felt extremely honored and ecstatic. After the banquet, the tribal leaders congratulated each other. Although Wu Guxiao thanked him politely, his heart was already fluttering. Back in the tent, he was still dancing and excited. Suddenly, when the tent door opened, someone entered with a grin, saying, "Congratulations to the chief, and the official is rewarded." When he looked up, it was none other than his wife, Duo Fidelity. Behind her, stood the fourth son, Po Thorn Shu. Wu Gu Xia's excitement could not be suppressed, and he said to Duo Baozhen: "I am getting old and dying. In the past few decades, the southern expedition and the northern expedition have yielded nothing. Today, this honor is enough. Duo Baozhen said: "The leader is happy about this, so I congratulate the leader first." However, people say 'first joy and then sorrow', so they mourn for the leader. Wu Gu Yao said: "The words of the good wife are sensational, and today I can only see her joy, but not her worries." Duo Baozhen said: "The leader is bewildered by the high officials' rewards, so he only sees joy but not sorrow. In fact, joy is not for a while, but worry is eternal. Wu Gu Yao said: "The more the good wife talks, the more people are puzzled, but I don't know where the worry comes from? Duo Baozhen said: "The Liao people conferred the leader as a high-ranking official and rewarded the leader with jewelry, just to make the leader act as an eagle dog for him." The so-called eagle dog is driven by the master to hunt birds and rabbits. The ancients said: 'The bird hides the bow, the rabbit dies and the dog cooks,' the role of the eagle dog, that's it, and that's the fate of the eagle dog. The people of the southeastern tribes were deeply oppressed by the Liao people, and their grievances were deep. Now, the tribes are going their own way, and they can't get together for the time being. Therefore, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Liao, but if everyone realizes that the power of only one tribe is insignificant, the situation will be very different. If someone lifts the pole, in a few days, it will become a tsunami. Chief, you should understand that this gives the Jurchens a chance, and also gives the Wanyan tribe a chance. You still have your sons and grandchildren, and you should seize this opportunity. I wonder if you and your descendants have received only the rank of an envoy of moderation, or a few pitiful and very limited rewards? Now, if the leader accepts the reward of the Liao people, it means that he will become a confidant of the Liao people, and he will inevitably be separated from the people of the southeastern tribes, and the opportunity that originally belonged to you will be easily lost. The future outcome of the leader is nothing more than the fate of the eagle dog. Isn't such a tragic end worth hanging? Wu Gu Yao said: "The good wife has far-reaching ideas, and I really can't do it. What about today's plan? Duo Baozhen said: "Although he was impromptu as an official, he did not get the official seal, which is nothing." The leader should leave this place immediately, and not accepting the official seal of the Liao people is equivalent to refusing to accept the official position of the Liao State. If you stay for a few more days, when the emperor of Liao personally confers the seal, it will be difficult to refuse. Hearing this, Wu Guxiao nodded again and again and said yes. Duo Baozhen said again: "In addition, there is another thing, I heard that the Minister of State Yada is already critically ill. Yada saw that the two sons were not good, and had no intention of passing on the post of state minister to them. Although Huan Xun and Sanda are three feet long, it is quite painstaking, but it is unattainable. Therefore, until now, there has been no suitable successor to the position of prime minister. If you get the position of prime minister and order the Jurchen tribes, how should it compare with the festival envoys rewarded by the Liao? When Wu Gu Yao heard this, he woke up like a dream, and said in a loud voice: "I understand, I understand." It's not a good wife to remind me, I almost missed a big thing. Duo Baozhen said: "Since you understand which is more important and which is more urgent, you should make a quick decision." Wu Gu Yao said: "Without further ado, I will go to Liao Xingzong to bid farewell now." ”
Liao Xingzong saw that Wu Gu Yao came to say goodbye, and said to him: "Spring has arrived, why do you want to leave?" Besides, within two days, the festival made the great seal engraved, and at that time it was glorious to wear the great seal and return to his hometown! Wu Gu Yao said: "There is a big mess in the tribe, and they are anxious and restless. The emperor rewarded the officials and was grateful. As for the official seal, it will not be too late for him to take it in the future. Liao Xingzong said: "Even so, I will not be forced to stay." After the official seal is engraved, I will send someone else to send it. ”
After Wuguxiao, Duo Fidelity and Quite Thorny Shu left the land of spring harvest, they embarked on the road back home. They stayed overnight, and after returning to Nagari Village, they hurried straight to Yitun Village without resting. Yada was dying, already on the verge of dying, with the last trace of breath left. At this time, he unexpectedly came to his senses, and his appearance was extremely peaceful. He quickly recognized them as Uguya, Duo Fi, and Phu Thorn stood in front of his bed, and with a smile on his lips, he said, "You're here, it's ...... Very good, I'm looking forward to it...... You...... Come! Duo Baozhen said: "Old man, you have something on your mind. If you have anything to say, just say it freely. Yada said, "I have two things, yes, two things. Keep putting ...... Heart. One thing is that my two sons are entrusted to ...... if they don't succeed You guys. After that, he motioned to call out the brothers Huan Yu and Sanda, and personally instructed: "If there is anything in the future, listen to them." Yada said, looking at the two brothers, and he was relieved to see the two brothers nodding in agreement. Wu Gu Yao said: "Old man, you don't have to worry about it, we will treat the two brothers as relatives. Yada understood what Ugu Yao meant, nodded with satisfaction, and motioned for the two sons to leave, before saying, "The second thing is...... It's the Prime Minister's ...... Heir business. I thought about it, and no one else was suitable, only ...... Wu Gu Yao is capable of taking on this role. Wu Gu Yao said: "I have no virtue and no talent, but I am afraid that I will fail the trust of the old man." Yada said, "No, you're the most ...... Most suitable. I've been thinking about it for a long time, only you can make the Jurchens prosperous! With that, he took out a wooden box from his side and a piece of red cloth from it. When the red cloth was opened, it was a tiger made of gold. Yada looked at it affectionately for a while, and said to Wuguxiao: "Come, come, take it!" Seeing that Wu Gu Miao was still hesitating, Duo Bao Zhen hurriedly said to Po Rashu: "Come, take it for your father." Hearing this, Po Rashu stretched out his hands and took the golden tiger in his hands. Yada seemed to have successfully completed the long course of life, and as if she had completed the last happy thing, she showed a happy smile and passed away forever.
Uguxiao and Duo Fizhen buried the old man Yada, the prime minister, and returned to Nagri Village. One day, Wu Gu Liao said to Duo Baozhen: "The second son impeachment of the bowl and the fourth son of Po Rashu have their own strengths, and they can be independent, so that Po Tingshu can be the minister of state, and then use the impeachment of the bowl as the festival envoy." Brothers work together, we will be able to **** a vigorous career. Do-fi said, "That's what I thought too. The future belongs to them, and the world of the Jurchens depends on them to break through. ”
After more than two months, Yelu Tonggan, the minister of Liao, came to Nagari Village. When Wu Guxiao heard that he was ordered by Liao Xingzong to come to send the Great Seal of the Jiedu Envoy, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately felt in a dilemma. He was reluctant to accept the seal, and it was difficult for him to refuse in person. Unexpectedly, she didn't think of much fidelity but seemed confident, she said to Yelu Tonggan: "My lord is ordered by the emperor to give the festival and make the great seal. I was grateful for the hard work along the way. However, this is a major event, and a solemn ceremony should be held to give and receive the seal. Jerod Tonggan said, "This is exactly what I want, and I can do what I say." ”
Returning to the living room, Wu Gu Miao complained: "It was you who advised me not to accept the Liao seal, and now it is you who are going to hold a grand ceremony to give and receive the seal, what kind of medicine is in your stuffy gourd!" Duo Fidelity said: "Actually, it is not a miracle medicine, but just an ordinary medicine, and you will understand it then." ”
The next day, all the fallen people gathered in front of the temple, and the shamans recited the words. Sacrifices to the sky, sacrifices to the earth, and sacrifices to the ancestors of the gods. Uguri bowed to the ground and listened to the decree read by Jerod Tonggan. Yelu Tong read it, held the big seal in his hand, and walked over to Wuguyao. Wu Gu Yao looked confused, and even a little panicked, not knowing what to do.
At this juncture, I saw a commotion in the crowd. Nearly twenty big men rushed out of the crowd, holding sharp blades in their hands, and swarmed up. Half of them pressed against Jerodun, and the rest surrounded Uguya. Glaring angrily, showing their blades to each other. Seeing this, Wu Gu Miao was shocked and exclaimed, "Brothers, what is this for? If you have something to say, why bother with knives and guns! Before his words fell, someone only heard him ask sharply: "I heard that the Liao people want to give the official seal of the chief, but is there such a thing?" Wu Gu Yao said, "Yes, it is true. Someone else said in a loud voice: "I heard that the chief wants to receive the official seal and make our Jurchens enter the Liao nationality, but is there such a thing?" Wu Gu Yao said: "It's also true, you see, it's the official seal." Then he pointed to the big seal in the hand of Yelu Tonggan. When the people heard this, they were all indignant, and some whispered and some shouted and cursed. Seeing that the people's feelings were sluggish, Wu Gu Yao couldn't do anything, so he stared at Yelu Tonggan with two eyes without blinking. Yelu Tonggan saw that people's minds had changed, and he was also panicked and had no way to respond.
At this moment, I saw the impeachment of the bowl and the prickly Pegasus coming. Impeachment said to Uguya: "There is unrest among the tribes, and rumors are rife. Rumors can be heard everywhere that if Daddy accepts the official seal of the Liao people and enters the Liao nationality, it will be a betrayal of the Jurchens, and people will symbolically punish the rebels and put you to death. "Daddy, some people still say this, if Daddy doesn't agree to grant the seal lineage, you are still the head of the tribe, and people will respect you as before." Hearing this, Wu Guxiao sighed and said: "If you refuse to grant the seal lineage, the grace of the Liao people will be unforgettable." If you agree to grant the seal lineage, the anger of the people will be difficult to offend. Strike, strike, strike, I will neither receive the official seal nor be the head of the tribe today. It's better to die, so as not to be in a dilemma and not be a good person! "Then draw your sword and kill yourself. Seeing this, Impeachment Libo and Po Rashu were shocked, hurriedly stepped forward, hugged each arm, and said: "Daddy, don't find this short-sightedness, don't do it!" ”
The father and son are three of them, and they can't hold each other. The crowd was in a commotion, and there was a mess. Suddenly, I heard another shout: "Put down the sword and listen to me!" "The sound is like a thunderbolt, shaking the heavens and the earth. When the eyes of the people look at it, the speaker is none other than the truth. Duo Baozhen turned back and said to Yelu Tonggan; "The Jurchens and the Liao Kingdom are neighbors to each other, and we Jurchens have received enough gifts. I don't think anyone will forget. After that, she turned around again and said to the angry people, "However, we Jurchens have our own land, our own cattle and sheep, and our own customs. We need to live according to our own traditions, and we do not want to be disturbed or discriminated against. Then, he said to Uguxiao: "The only way to do this today is to make a temporary change. The leader can accept the position of Jiedu, but he does not accept the official seal, and he does not become a Liao citizen, and the people of the tribe may not object. Otherwise, if it provokes a lot of changes, no one will be able to clean up this mess. What do you say, Lord Jerod? At this time, Yelu Tonggan was already frightened, and the only thing he could think about was how to save his own life. At the moment, I listened to Duo Bao's words, and nodded again and again. Then, Duo Fidelity turned his gaze to Ugu Xia. Wu Guxiao understood, so he took the opportunity to say: "The situation is so far, I have to follow this." When they heard this, they put their swords into their sheaths and withdrew one after another. So, Yelu Tonggan had no choice but to take the official seal and return to Shangjing.
It turned out that the scene that happened in front of him was carefully arranged by Duo Fidelity. Since then, Wuguyao has been named as the envoy of the Liao State, and under the pretense of the authority of the Liao people, he has ordered various tribes. In turn, under the pretense of the prestige of the tribes, he exerted pressure on the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State. Kill two birds with one stone, and gain momentum left and right. Liao Xingzong thought that Wugu Liao was loyal and trusted more and more, and the tribal leaders also thought that Wu Gu Liao could hold the Liao monarchs and ministers hostage and became closer and closer. Taking advantage of this favorable opportunity, Wugu Yao also made Bahei and Wuchun burn charcoal and smelt iron, and obtained a large amount of copper and iron. Therefore, he gathered craftsmen to make instruments, bows, arrows, and armor, and accumulated grain and grass. The army is growing stronger and the country is getting stronger. More and more tribes came to join them, such as the Pucha tribe of Zhushui, the Taishente Baoshui Wanyan tribe, the Tongmen Shui Wendichen tribe, and the Shenyin Shui Wanyan tribe also came to take refuge one after another.
After that, a few years passed, it was the eighth year of Xianyong of Liaodao Sect, and the Five Kingdoms City did not raise troops to resist Liao and block the Eagle Road. Liao Xingzong intended to send troops to conquer, and sent people to inform Wugu Xia, who was finally afraid that the Liao soldiers would go deep into the realm of white mountains and black waters, so he ordered Po Rashu to see the Liao border general Dalu Gu, and said to him: "People say, 'Kill chickens with cattle knives,' a small grass coward, He Lao's army is on an expedition." As long as the Jurchens send troops, they can succeed. Capture Xie Ye alive and dedicate it to the general. When Daru heard this, he stood still and waited for the sound of triumph. So, Wu Gu Yao sent someone to talk to Xie Ye with interests, asking him to stop the war. Xie Ye saw the envoy, sneered, and said, "Hehe, go back and tell Wu Gu Yao that since you are willing to be an eagle dog of the Liao people, you are the same as the Liao people, and you are the enemy in my heart." If he is able, he will lead his troops into battle. If you don't have the skills, you will bow your knees and surrender. Wait until I conquer the Jurchens, and then go to crusade against the Liao State. Then he did not let the messenger speak, and ordered him to be beaten out with a stick. The messenger escaped with his life, and when he returned to the village of Nagari, he told Uguyu about it. Wu Gu Yao said: "Xie Ye is fierce and strong, and he doesn't listen to good words. If not, how can other tribes be commanded? Besides, if you insist on going your own way, it will inevitably lead to a large-scale invasion of the Liao soldiers. At that time, the situation will be difficult to control. So, wearing heavy armor, he personally led his troops to destroy the tribe. When Xie Ye heard that Wuguxiao's troops were coming, he also personally led his troops to meet the battle. The two armies were connected to each other, and it was a battle between dragons and tigers. only killed the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon were dark, and they fought for half a day, regardless of victory or defeat. It was already dusk, Xie Ye ordered the army to be collected, and Wu Gu Yao also ordered to set up camp. In the early morning of the next day, Xie Ye led the army to challenge in front of the camp. Wu Gu Yao did not show weakness, opened the camp gate wide, and killed it. When the two armies met, it was another fierce battle. When the battle was not long, Xie Ye led the troops to collapse, and Wu Gu Liao urged the army to chase after him, and impeached the bowl to block the horse and admonished: "Xie Ye retreated by deception, but I am afraid that there will be another ambush." Wu Gu Yao said: "Xie Ye, what can you do?" Even if he sets up an ambush for ten miles, what is there to fear! Ignoring this, the Overseer marched forward. It turned out that Xie Ye wanted to capture Wugu Liao in a battle, and secretly connected with several other neighboring tribes to cut off Wugu Yao's retreat, and led his troops to retreat while fighting, intending to lure the army of Wu Gu Liao to Bali Mailuo, taking advantage of the complex terrain there to win by surprise. Xie Ye ceased the truce, the war stopped, and finally got his wish, and arrived at the south bank of Pulli Mailuo. When Xie Ye looked back, he saw smoke and dust billowing dozens of miles away, and the army of Wugu Liao really tracked down. Xie Ye sneered and scolded hatefully: "Hehe, Hugh is rampant, Pullie Mailuo is your burial place." Then he ordered the army to cross the ice and water. The man in front of him whipped his prancing horse, but fell into the water, stirring up a splash. When Xie Ye saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned.
It was the season of October, and the weather was bitterly cold. In previous years, the middle of the Bali Mai was already three feet of ice, and the back and forth was like walking on the ground. Just a few days ago, Xie Ye sent people to inspect again, only to see a thick layer of ice on the surface of the water. Xie Ye originally wanted to lead the army to cross the ice and water, occupy the opposite mountains, turn back to face the battle, and gather and annihilate the Wugu Liao troops on the ice of Baliluo. Unexpectedly, the ice melted again today. Xie Ye looked up to the sky and sighed: "God mourns me, God mourns me!" When I looked back, I saw that the army of Wuguyao had already chased after me violently, and when I was in a hurry, there was no small boat to cross the water. Xie Ye's army then shouted loudly and scattered in all directions. Xie Ye and the five guards around him, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, fled for their lives.
Wuguyao defeated Xie Ye's army and returned with his troops. On the way, he met the soldiers of the tribes who came to rescue Xie Ye as promised. They occupied the key passes, held the dangerous obstacles, and plunged the Ugulya into a bitter battle. Wu Gu Yao had to lead the crowd to resist the battle day and night, fighting desperately, and finally broke through the layers of blockade, defeated the enemy, and returned to the tribe. At this time, Wu Gu Yao was already exhausted and his spirit was lost. Because the time has come to make an appointment with Daru Gu, he didn't want to miss the appointment, and he galloped more than 200 miles overnight to the bank of the flowing water. Unexpectedly, Daru Gu had gone to Huanglong Mansion. Wu Gu Yan sighed and said, "I can't support it anymore. But he struggled to get on his horse, and was about to whip his horse, when suddenly he felt black before his eyes, and fell from his horse. Impeachment and Po Ra Shu hurriedly helped his father up and drove back to Nagari Village. Since then, Wu Gu Yao has been seriously ill and has become increasingly heavy. On this day, he saw that there was only one person beside him, so he said to her: "What happened after death, please remember the good wife." When I heard it, I couldn't help but exchange tears, I didn't know what Wu Gu Yao said, and I listened to the next decomposition.
