Chapter 496: The Emperor's Inheritance

Not to mention the plans of the Liao people, even if the Liao army wants to dispatch, it needs to calm the ripples set off by Bao Xu first. Before that, they also had more than enough to do.

As for Li Miao in Zhending City, and Tong Guan in Zhaozhou City, both of them are ready to defend to the death.

Regardless of whether he is really willing to die in his heart, he looks like he wants to live and die with the city. This is not only because the two of them have nowhere to go, but also because Zhaozhou and Zhending are the best places for them to fight.

That Zhending Mansion West Pillow Taihang, Jingcheng Pass is there, communicating the land of Hedong, Hedong Xuanfu envoy and governor of Taiyuan Mansion Zhang Xiaochun is also a capable minister, knowing that the two roads in Hebei are broken, and Hedong is also in danger, and he will help each other.

After the defeat of Wang Yu, Tong Guan also took out his old book, squandered a large amount of money and food, recruited the heroes of the north at any cost, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of the Zhijiao became an army again. By the time Lu Qian led his troops all the way to sweep down Longping, Baixiang, Ningjin, Gaoyi and other counties, and rushed to the city of Zhaozhou, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside the city.

This winter, there were many refugees in Hebei, which facilitated Tong Guan's army expansion.

It is Li Miao of Zhending Mansion, and then after being funded by Tong Guan and Zhang Xiaochun with a large amount of money, food and soldiers, the number of troops in his hands is more than 10,000 people, Zhang Xiaochun even called his son Zhang Hao, who was awarded the post of Fenzhou General Judge at that time, and led a team to be stationed in Jingcheng to support Zhending.

It can be said that the current battle of Zhaozhou is the second tough battle since the Liangshan army entered Hebei.

Defeat Tong Guan and Li Miao, before the Liao army completely quelled the border turmoil, the army swept the Ansu army, the Guangxin army, Dingzhou and other places, and then he measured the Liao army did not dare to go south.

The Liao Song 'went to war' and the Liao Qi went to war, but the consequences were completely different. Zhao Song is now too busy to take care of himself, and after losing the two roads in Hebei, there is only one river left to the east of the river and the border of Liao, and he is not sure when it will be gone. In this way, the Liao State is torn up with Zhao Song, so what's the matter?

But the importance of Lu Qi's side to him is beyond doubt.

Lu Qian didn't want to see the people in the border areas of Hebei suffer, but he also felt that he needed to fight with the Liao State before it was completely defeated by the Jurchens. After the Khitans really tasted the bitterness, more Khitans may come to serve in the future.

As far as the memory of his previous life is concerned, the infighting between the Khitan high-level is also very sharp, and now he has found some information inside the Khitan, which corroborates each other, and many problems can be seen.

One day, Emperor Zuo had a dispute with his uncle Yeluchun. The latter is left behind in Nanjing, at least in Nanjing Dao, and it is not something that Emperor Tianzuo can easily raze.

Yelu Chun's father is the second son of Yelu Zongzhen of Liao Xingzong, the same brother of Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong, and he stayed in Beijing and Nanjing before - Yelu and Lu Wei, the kings of Wei. His stay in Nanjing was short, but he stayed in Beijing for 40 years.

After Emperor Tianzuo succeeded to the throne, in order to win over this uncle and grandfather, he appointed Yelu and Lu Wei as the generalissimos of the world's soldiers and horses. Three years later, Emperor Tianzuo established Yelu and Lu Wei as the emperor's uncles, although according to generation, Yelu and Lu Hu were the uncles and grandfathers of Emperor Tianzuo. But this is not reconciled, the important thing is this name. What Uncle Huang means is self-explanatory. Although Jerod and Ruhu were already over sixty years old at that time.

Seven years later, Yelu and Lu Wei died of illness, and their son Yeluchun was naturally not stupid enough to 'succeed' the imperial uncle, but he also had a transcendent status. In particular, he took over his father's position in Nanjing.

Emperor Tianzuo promoted Yelu and Lu Hu earlier, and one of the main purposes was to make Yelu and Lu Hu give up their positions in Beijing. The latter also agreed.

As we all know, the Liao Dynasty had five capitals, namely Shangjing Linhuang Mansion (now Inner Mongolia Balinzuoqi), Zhongjing Dading Mansion (now Daming City, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia), Zhaozhou City Liaoyang Mansion (now Liaoyang City, Liaoning), Nanjing Xijin Mansion (now Beijing City), Xijing Datong Mansion (now Datong, Shanxi).

The five capitals of the Liao State were not the political center of the dynasty. Shangjing, the imperial capital in the early Liao period, and Zhongjing, which was later called the capital after the Holy Sect, were both nominal national capitals. This is because the political center of the Liao Dynasty was to make bowls, and the Khitan people practiced the four-season bowl system.

The bowl refers to the tent set up by the Liao Emperor when he went out fishing and hunting at four o'clock. It can be thought of as "walking in".

After the Liao Shengzong formed a customization: the spring bowl is in Changchun Prefecture, the summer bowl is in Yong'an Mountain or Tanshan, the autumn bowl is in Gyeongju Fuhulin, and the winter bowl is in Yongzhou Guangpingdian. The emperor of the Liao Dynasty traveled back and forth at four o'clock throughout the year, and the main members of the official institutions in the north and south were all accompanied by the emperor in the bowl. In winter and summer, Emperor Liao also convened ministers from the north and south to meet state affairs in the bowl.

Therefore, these five capitals are actually the administrative centers of their respective regions. After the Holy Father, only some officials remained in Zhongjing to deal with general affairs. Wujing has set up a left-behind division, which is the southern official, the jurisdiction is praised, and the military and political army is in control. The population of the Khitan people is mostly distributed in Shangjing Province and Zhongjing Province, which is managed according to the tribe, and the leader is called Lings. In the time of the Holy Father, there were fifty-one ones, and the leader was renamed the Jie Du Envoy.

Yelu and Lu Wei have been on the throne in Shangjing for more than 40 years, how can they not have a little influence among the Khitan tribes?

Even if he moved to Nanjing to stay in office, it does not mean that the tiger will fall to Pingyang, this is more of an exchange.

After the death of Yelu and Lu Wei, Yeluchun took over as the garrison of Nanjing, and it has been nine years so far. The father and son came to Nanjing Road from Shangjing, but they have been operating for more than ten years, as if they were a sharp arrow pierced in the chest of Emperor Tianzuo. But if you look at it or not, it will slowly endanger Emperor Tianzuo's life.

Although the contradiction between the two was suppressed by the threat of the Jurchens' sudden outburst, it did not mean that there was no estrangement between them. How is that possible?

The second is the struggle for the throne of Emperor Tianzuo's own heirs.

There are two people in its harem, a concubine Xiao Guige, who is the younger sister of Queen Xiao Duoli; The second concubine Xiao Sese, is the daughter of the uncle's father's house.

The sons and daughters are of great families, and each has children. One is the king of Qin, and the other is the king of Jin.

The king of Jin, Yelu Aolu, is long-lived, intelligent and virtuous, and has a deep heart.

Yeluding, the king of Qin, was a little young, unintelligent, and burdened by his uncle Xiao Fengxian, he was not very favorable. Xiao Fengxian is generous on the outside, but jealous in his heart, first because his sister Xiao Guige was favored and relied on by Emperor Tianzuo, and the official was the privy envoy, and was named the king of Lanling County. That is, Cai Jing and Zhu Mian of the Khitan.

The eldest sister married the great nobleman Yelu Tartge, and the younger sister married the clan general Yelu Yujian.

That Yelu tart Ge is not mentioned, but Yelu Yujian is the pillar figure of the current Liao State, and he is called in the army along with Wu Yanguang.

In this way, the contradiction between the Yuanfei Group and the Wenfei Group, Hugh said that it was the Khitan country, and even Lu Qian seemed to be incompatible, and when the contradiction accumulated to a certain extent, it would explode sooner or later.

Although the Khitan has come to the point of decline of the nation, there are still three catties of nails in the broken ship, as a great country that has been established for 200 years, even if it is rotten, there can be heroes who stand up, right?

Especially the Han people in the north and the highly sinicized Khitan nobles, if these people can come to Lu Qian, they will definitely have an impact on the scholars and scholars in the Han land.

In the final analysis, Lu Qian did not have much hatred for the Khitan at this time, which was completely different from the Jurchens, and even the feelings of the Tangut people were also completely different.

Hebei has not heard the sound of swords and soldiers for a hundred years, and this sentence is enough to explain everything.

Looking at the future generations, the rabbit has been changed, how many years have passed since the War of Resistance Against Japan, and how many years have passed since the War of Resistance against the United States, aren't there a large number of slaves who have the appearance of slaves in their bones to praise the United States. Even the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China.

It has been a hundred years since the Song Liao Truce War.

……

In the second year of Zhenping, Lu Qian personally led an army of 80,000 and 150,000 to approach Zhaozhou City from south to north. The Liangshan army first attacked Mapu Town in the east of Zhaozhou City with fine cavalry, cut off the water and land connection between Zhaozhou City and Zhending Mansion, and then the army approached Zhaozhou City.

Tong Zhen persuaded Tong Guan to go to Zhending several times, and the fight here was naturally led by Xin Xingzong. Tong Guan refused a word, only saying that today's battle was a desperate battle, and he was the commander of the army, how could he escape from the battle, so that the army's morale was turbulent, and the thief army was cheapened in vain.

But he didn't see a helplessness flashing in Zhao Liangsi's drooping eyes beside him.

"Enxiang, if it's not us who are unjust, you are really unwise." Seeing that Tong Guan insisted on staying in Zhaozhou City and only took Tong Zhen to Zhending Mansion, Zhao Liangsi said helplessly.

Anyway, Tong Guan is kind to him and can do it, and he doesn't want to mourn Tong Guan with his own hands, but now he is helpless.

Tong Guan is killing himself!

Zhao Liangsi thought so in his heart, but he didn't know that Lu Qian was still very surprised when he saw Zhao Zhou's appearance. Since the Liangshan artillery showed its prestige, such a long fight, the first time he saw Zhaozhou City such a means, its city was surrounded by camps and towns, and many small military bases surrounded Zhaozhou City, isn't it that Tong Guan thought that these military bases could resist the Liangshan artillery?

The Liangshan army was in strict formation, and the scouts ran out like meteors in all directions, and found that the suburbs of Zhaozhou City had been fortified and cleared, and the people of Zhuang Town and towns were evacuated.

Seeing this, Lu Qian then stationed his troops twenty miles south of Zhaozhou City. Rectify the army and prepare to attack the city of Zhaozhou. And let out the rangers everywhere to reconnoiter the situation around Zhaozhou City. At the same time, he was also waiting for the arrival of the follow-up baggage fleet.

Along the Zhanghe River, the baggage of the Daimyo Mansion can be transported to Cheng'an, and then all the way to the north, crossing the mainland and the Hulu River, and then along the Hulu River waterway into its tributary Hushui, which can be directly connected to Mapu Town.

Even if he was in a hurry to deter the Khitans, Lu Qian was not prepared to fight to the death in Zhaozhou with the lives of his sergeants. If he suffered heavy casualties and the Liangshan army attacked Zhending again, then how could they fight with the Khitans?

What's more, he still has Tian Hujun as a helper.

When the Liangshan army heard that it was less than two days outside the city of Zhaozhou, Tian Hu sent his third brother Tian Biao to lead him, and led Wu Li, Shan Shiqi and three thousand soldiers to help in the battle.

In the big tent, Lu Qian set up a banquet to entertain. His figure is not as tall and strong as the man, but he sits on it, and the tiger bears such as Lu Zhishen and Qin Ming in the tent will be even more majestic in the future, and his domineering gestures are beginning to appear.

Dwelling and moving qi, nourishing and moving the body, Dazai dwelling!

In charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, overlooking tens of millions of Li people, every word and deed is related to the society of the world, how can there be no momentum?

That Tian Biao felt that Lu Qian's only one look made him feel like a big stone in his heart. But in fact, Lu Qian just missed a glance at him, very ordinary, very ordinary.

All the generals under the tent drank bitterly, and the atmosphere was warm.

Lu Qian is also full of ambition, since the defeat of Gao Yu and Tong Guan, the Liangshan army has been divided for two years, and the foundation is already deep, it seems that it has spent a hard accumulation time and entered the time of sweeping the country.

Since ancient times, Jackie Chan has been at the beginning of the heaviest and most difficult time, looking at Zhu Hongwu's life, isn't that the case? In the early days, there were four battles, but after defeating Chen Youliang in the first battle, he stepped through the fan cage and flew the colorful phoenix, and suddenly opened the iron lock to walk the dragon, and there was no one to be there anymore.

Lu Qian believes that his current situation is different from Zhu Yuanzhang, and he can't blindly compare it, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who has been scolded by him countless times, is more similar to him. The power has been completed, and it is just a stone battle before the 'entry into the customs'.

Picking up a glass of wine, Lu Qian stood up, and all the generals stopped talking and stood up one after another. Looking around at the generals, Lu Qian said: "When I Lu Qian escaped from Tokyo that day, I never thought that there would be today, and that day in Liangshan Boli, there is no other picture, I only hope that my Liangshan is a good man and a good man, and it will be widely spread in all directions!"

It can become today's trend from the cottage water coward and get today's prosperity, all of which are helped by your brothers.

This is the heavens have eyes, so that my righteous brothers gather righteous water, sweep away injustice, eradicate evil turbidity, and do the right thing for heaven. Breaking through the great name, it was called the world's heroes.

Nowadays, Zhao Song is like a boiled duck, and it is difficult to fly away. If our Liangshan army can seize the land of Hebei, it can sweep the 800 miles of passes, sweep the roads of Shaanxi, and become the foundation of the emperor. If the great success is not accomplished, you must not slack off.

Gather for a drink today, and make a first reward, and when you break Xijing tomorrow, sweep the world, when the country is established, and when you become famous, you will come to drink with you! ”

Lu Qian's words did not promise wealth and nobility, but they made the generals in the tent smile one by one. It not only appeased the characters in Shuibo's old days, but also made the new civil and military people happy.

Among the people present, only Tian Biao was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and the smile on his face was not stiff.
