Chapter 293: Clash of the Three Kingdoms
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Ye Hua and Da Zhou's temple calculations both think that the Khitan will fight for Yanyun, but they may not fight to the death, but judging from the latest information, Ye Hua underestimated the Khitan people's desire for prosperity.
Without Yanyun, the Khitan are rude and barbaric nomadic tribes, and stronger and more barbaric tribes will replace them at any time. But if they are dominant in Yanyun, they can use Yanyun's springboard to advance into the Central Plains, and they can use Yanyun's material resources and manpower to suppress other grassland barbarians.
With Yanyun, the Khitan is a huge empire, and if you lose Yanyun, it is nothing, it is a zero!
It turns out that not only Da Zhou regards Yanyun as his lifeblood, but the Khitan also attaches great importance to Yanyun!
Even more!
Yelu Jing gave his will, and the tribes of the grassland moved in response, and the tribes under the jurisdiction of the king of the Northern Courtyard were young and strong, riding bareback horses, carrying bows and arrows, and holding scimitars, and embarked on the journey without hesitation.
Life in the grassland is not easy, robbery is their way of survival, and if they don't rob others, they can't live. They only know the prosperity of the Central Plains, and they only know the promise of the emperor, once they win the war, they will have what they want!
It's ridiculous to say that these people don't think of gold and silver treasures, nor silk and satin, they want pots and pans, yes, just ordinary iron pots, casseroles, or even clay pots.
They also want tea bricks, eat meat all year round, and if there is no tea, they can't imagine it.
With such a simple wish, these people went south one after another and gathered in Youzhou.
After the defeat of Yelujing, his mood became very bad, and all the violent factors in his bones were released, he scolded the ministers, and killed the attendants around him at every turn, and people lost their lives every day.
If it weren't for the incompetence of his courtiers and the refusal of his soldiers to use their lives, he would not have lost the battle at all!
Nearly twice the advantage of troops, but also defeated in the hands of the Han people, a great shame!
If there is no shame, how can a country be founded?
Yelu Jing couldn't wait to screw off Ye Hua's head with his own hands and use it to make a wine jug!
"Your Majesty is like this, I'm afraid, the army's heart is in turmoil, it's not the blessing of the court......" Xiao Siwen secretly begged to see Yelu Wuqing, hoping that he could persuade the emperor. Even if you want to fight with Da Zhou to the end, you shouldn't be like this, you should cheer up.
Yelu Wuzhi grinned bitterly, and said helplessly: "If I can persuade you, how can I not say it!" ”
"Suck!"
Xiao Siwen's face became very bad, and he lowered his head silently, even Yelu couldn't do anything, what else could he say!
Boom!
Yelu Wuzhi knocked on the table hard, scaring Xiao Siwen a lot!
"You're a smart man! But he's a fool! ”
Yelu said very politely: "In recent years, the Khitan has become more and more chaotic, where is the root?" DID YOU KNOW? ”
Without waiting for Xiao Siwen to reply, Yelu Wuzhi said loudly: "Is it because we are not enterprising, and when Taizu was in power, he was equally brutal, equally moody, and equally murderous?" Why Khitan can thrive, the key is this heart! Taizu has an enterprising heart, and he can't wait to bring the whole world into the hands of the Khitan and make everyone surrender to us! When I arrived in the Taizong Dynasty, I destroyed the Jin Kingdom, entered Kaifeng, and I rode the Khitan Iron Horse, dominating the world, and no one could match! ”
"But what's next? We're complacent, we're messed up! Ya Zhi's voice became extremely high-pitched, "It is precisely because of the continuous infighting that too much power has been consumed, and someone has killed our emperor, and the Khitan can still endure it!" I also went to talk to the enemy who killed the king! How stupid! Make people laugh off their big teeth! ”
Yelu Wuzhi scolded unceremoniously: "Today's defeat is to blame, no one else is to blame!" He looked at Xiao Siwen again, "When the peace was first discussed, you were quite sober, much better than those pleasure-hungry rats!" ”
Yelu asked Xiao Siwen to sit down, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty can change your mind and fight to the death with Zhou Bing, this is a good thing!" The Khitan needs to be reborn! The old man will arrange it properly, if, if...... Something happened, please, please protect the second son of the first emperor, His Royal Highness Yeluxian! ”
Xiao Siwen was really scared stupid, he really regretted coming to Yelu House.
The so-called second son of the first emperor is the son of Yelu Ruan, who was killed by Ye Hua.
Yelucha killed Yeluruan and his wife, and Yeluxian was also in the army at the time, but he was lucky enough to escape. His father died, and the throne fell into the hands of his cousin Yelujing.
In the past few years, Yeluxian has become bigger and bigger, and Yelujing has become more and more unpopular, and the members of the clan have frequently made trouble. Yeluxian also gathered a group of courtiers around him, but he acted secretly, and no one noticed it.
Xiao Siwen is an old fox, and he knows that Yeluxian is not a thing in the pool, but he never imagined that Yeluxian, who has great power, would actually favor Yeluxian!
It's too much to entrust him to himself, right?
Xiao Siwen was at a loss, but Yelu didn't care about it, he got on the thief ship, so don't think about going down!
"Don't you have a third daughter? The old man is in charge, so he will be married to His Royal Highness, and in the future, there will be a time when her mother will be in the world! Lord Xiao, even for the sake of your daughter, please do your best! Please! ”
As he spoke, Yelu gave Xiao Siwen a deep bow.
Xiao Siwen was at a loss, he knew very well how heavy this courage was, could he bear it? But if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid that Yelu won't let him go.
"Please rest assured, the servant will do his best to assist His Highness!"
Yeluwu bowed, "That's no way, the old man is still eighty percent sure, this battle can be won!" ”
Xiao Siwen vomited blood, can you win what are you telling me about this, scared people to death and want to pay for their lives!
……
The war has reached this point, whether it is the Great Zhou or the Khitan, they are all going all out, there is still one country left, don't think about sitting back and watching success or failure, they must send troops!
Yang Gon represented the Khitan and sent an envoy to Jinyang.
In the face of the Great Zhou, Yang Gon didn't dare to be presumptuous, but in the face of the Northern Han Dynasty, his eyes were simply on the top of his head, what emperor, prince, all of them were just a dog raised by the Khitan!
Yang Gon did not have the slightest awareness that he was also a dog, since he came on behalf of the Khitan Emperor, he was a master, and he was the master of command!
"Your Majesty is the nephew of my Khitan Emperor, and now that the Southern Dynasty has invaded the territory for no reason, as a nephew, shouldn't he send troops?" Listening to Yang Gon's tone, it was as if Liu Chong was his nephew!
The court of the Northern Han Dynasty, who still had a little face, was furious and couldn't stop being angry.
Liu Chong's old face shrunk into a ball, and he was embarrassed: "It's not that we don't send troops, it's really the party and the people in Fuzhou who are eyeing each other, and the border war is continuous, and we can't draw troops!" ”
"Ridiculous!"
Yang Gon said angrily: "How many troops can the party and the folded family have? You don't want to send troops, you want to watch from the sidelines, that's true! But don't forget, once Yan Yun is lost, the Southern Dynasty will be able to surround you. When the time comes, His Majesty the Emperor, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that they will all become prisoners of the Great Zhou! Where to go, you should understand! ”
The crown prince Liu Chengjun really couldn't listen to it anymore, "Bold! ”
He stepped forward, "The Venerable Envoy is talking like this, could it be that he is threatening us for Guo Qi'er?" ”
"Hahaha!" Yang Gon laughed loudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regards Guo Wei as a slave, but Guo Wei and others are enemies, if you don't send troops again, I'm afraid that the day when the jade will be burned is not far away!" ”
Liu Chong's face was ugly, but he didn't have the courage to say anything cruel to Yang Gon, so he could only ask Yang Gon to rest and let them discuss it.
Yang Gon sneered, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make a quick decision, the military situation is like fire, I can't wait!" ”
After finishing speaking, Yang Gon left, leaving only the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty, some people were angry, some people lamented, and Liu Chong was even more helpless!
"I can't bear the loss of Gaozu Sheji, and I can't succumb to Guo Wei in terms of morality, so I have no choice but to call the emperor's side, I just hope to work with you to restore the enmity of my family and country. But what kind of heaven am I, and what kind of courtiers are you! Liu Chong became more and more sad and angry, "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have not changed the yuan, I have not set up a temple, and I only use the gifts of my family to worship the first emperor, I am ashamed of Taizu!" ”
Liu Chong grinned and cried.
The other courtiers of the Northern Han Dynasty were all sad and wiped their tears together.
Liu Chengjun was young and vigorous, and he was indignant.
He remembered how rude Ye Hua was when the Khitan and the Great Zhou were hunting, but the Khitan didn't take him seriously at all.
When you use them, you will be arrogant, and when you don't use them, you will bully them wantonly, which is too much to bully!
"Father, as the orthodox of the world, we categorically cannot live in such shame, groveling, how can we have half of our dignity? It's a shame for the ancestors of Shatuo! ”
"Who said no, the Khitan was just the little brother of Li Keyong, the king of Jin, but now they have climbed on our heads, but you say, what can my father do?" Liu Chong lamented: "Guo Que'er prides himself on restoring the Han people, and he will definitely not be soft on us. As Yang Gon said, if the sixteen states of Yanyun are lost, the Khitan can still retreat beyond the Great Wall and continue to be powerful, what about us? In all directions, there are people and horses of the Great Zhou, and the day of the death of the country is just around the corner. My son, do we father and son still have a way to live? ”
Liu Chengjun gritted his teeth, "Father, although the situation is critical, the son thinks that there is still a way to come back to life!" ”
"Oh! Tell me quickly! ”
Liu Chengjun showed a grim smile, "Actually, it's not difficult, as long as they lose both, our chance will come!" ”
Liu Chong hesitated slightly, "Not necessarily, Guo Que'er is united and has a strong momentum, I am afraid that the Khitan will not be able to bargain." ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... Father, although Guo Que'er is powerful, how can he beat God! ”
"Oh! What do you mean by that? ”
"Father, the son has a plan, as long as the Yellow River can be dug up and the river can be diverted to flood the Great Zhou monarchs, Guo Qi'er will definitely be dead or alive!"
"Replace soldiers with water!"
Liu Chong showed a happy look, he didn't care, after digging the Yellow River, what terrible consequences would occur! Even if the lives are destroyed and the people suffer, they will not hesitate.
"Wu'er's plan is very good, but when Guo Que'er defeats the Khitans first, he can make a decisive move, so that he can succeed in one fell swoop!"
"Father, rest assured, the son already has a plan."
The embarrassed father and son discussed all night, and finally made up their minds, and the next day they summoned Yang Gon and immediately raised 30,000 troops, together with the Khitan soldiers and horses in Yunzhou, and rushed to Yizhou to kill together......
