Chapter 1318: The Death of Akuda VII
Dongliao, Dading Mansion, Songshan Pavilion.
This is the palace of the original emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom, and the north of the Songshan Pavilion is a thousand miles of pine forest, which is a primeval forest that spreads out from north to south and is thousands of miles long. It was a hunting ground for the Emperor of Liao. The famous Mulan Enclosure in later generations is also in this area.
However, the Songshan Pavilion is not as rich as the palace of the later Manchu emperors, it is a rammed-earth castle with some old civil engineering buildings. There is also a Huayan Temple on the hillside near the castle, which is quite large, and it should have been a royal temple with great incense in the past. Now it is depressed and cold, there is no smell of fireworks, only a few old monks are guarding here.
Today's Eastern Liao King Yelu Ao Lu Hu is a frequent visitor to this Huayan Temple, because his parents live in the Songshan Pavilion.
Yelu Ao Lu Hu is in his twenties this year, and he is no longer a child that his mother Xiao Si Se can control at will.
For this son, Xiao Sese is also a little embarrassed. After all, the son is pro-...... You can't kill it, but it's also a hindrance to stay in front of you. It's not that it's in the way of Xiao Sese and Wu Haogu's good deeds, but it's hindering her from taking power.
The men and women of the Khitan and Xi people are not as good as the Han people, and it is not a big deal for the Empress Dowager Xiao and Wu Haogu to sleep together. Considering Wu Haogu's strength, it is nothing that Empress Dowager Xiao gave birth to three children for Wu Haogu.
As long as it does not hinder Yelu Aolu's power, or even help him to take power, it is nothing to marry his own mother to Wu Haogu.
But Empress Dowager Xiao has always held power, put her son in the air, and changed the ancestral system of Daliao to the point that there is nothing left, and she has also shown signs of usurping the throne, this is the problem!
It's the most ruthless emperor's family!
In the face of supreme power, how can there be any mother-son affection?
So Yelu Ao Lu Wei has not had a good time these years, desperately holding his tail and being a man, for fear that his mother and Wu Haogu will see something, and then he will die in vain.
Fortunately, there is also an uncle-in-law, Yelu Yujian, who tried his best to maintain it, and also taught him what allusions to "Shen Sheng died inside, and Heavy Ear was born outside". Let him take the initiative to lead the Chinese army to garrison thousands of miles of pine forests and guard the border for Eastern Liao, and finally left Daning Mansion, which is a place of right and wrong.
And his departure is also good and bad for Xiao Sese. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to control him, the king of Eastern Liao, and the advantage is that he can send away all the important ministers who are pro-Yelu in the court.
Considering the situation in Eastern Liao, it is not possible to let go of the mother-son infighting. So Xiao Se had to "break up peacefully" with his son, while maintaining a certain degree of cooperation.
As long as her son is not in the way, she is also willing to give 8,000 families surnamed Yelu to her son.
In addition, Xiao Sese's brother-in-law Yelu Yujian also got 8,000 households, and was thrown by Xiao Sese into the fortress on the north bank of the Huang River as a meat shield.
And Xiao Sese himself used the Xiao Xi people to control 30,000 households, that is, 10,000 households in the left army, 10,000 households in the right army and 10,000 households in the rear army, a total of 28,000 households!
In addition, it also controlled tens of thousands of households living in Dading Mansion, which was equivalent to controlling most of the strength of Eastern Liao.
Because Dadingfu, Bashang Grassland, and the southern part of the Horqin Grassland are all under the control of Xiao Sese. So in the past few years, she has been very proud, and she has done a lot of things, established her prestige, and is one step away from ascending the throne and becoming king.
In this case, as the leader of the Yelu family, Yelu Aolu, the king of Eastern Liao, behaved very filial and did not dare to be a little disobedient...... Even behaved very deferentially to Wu Haogu, sent people to greet and give gifts during the New Year's holidays, and called him "father-in-law" in a letter to Wu Haogu.
……
At this time, in the royal palace of the Pine Forest Pavilion, Yelu Ao Lu Hu was holding a banquet to entertain his sister Okuno.
Da Okuno's mother is not Xiao Sese, but a beauty from the West and a seed conceived after a moment of good night in Yelu Yanxi.
In Xiao Sese's court, he is completely an inconspicuous character, waiting to be used as a tool for political marriage.
But this little girl is very good, her chest is straight, her waist is slender like a willow, her eyes are big and round, she is still brown, her nose is high, her skin is snowy, and she is a rare mixed-race beauty at first glance - it is estimated that her mother is still a white beauty, and I don't know where Yelu Yanxi got it?
"Brother Wang, Yu Liyan persuaded the queen mother to ......"
The little girl looked at her brother with brown eyes as she spoke. She was originally appointed by her stepmother Xiao Sese to come to the Songlin Pavilion to pick up Yelufu (the son of Yelu Ao Luhu) to Dadingfu City.
But what she said now was a bit wrong......
"Girls are outgoing!" Yelu Ao Lu said in a low voice.
"Brother Wang, the slave will always be surnamed Yelu!" Okuno straightened his chest.
"You're my own sister!" Yelu Ao Lu Wei looked at this girl who had been good with him since she was a child, and said warmly, "If Yu Liyan persuaded you, it was the queen mother who told you, right?" ”
"Brother Wang, how do you know?"
Yelu Ao Lu smiled and said, "The queen mother and Yu Liyan are both fine people! ”
"Brother Wang, the queen mother asked me to tell you the news, what do you think?"
Yelu Ao Lu said: "Of course I agree, and I also ask to be the crown prince." ”
"Brother Wang, the queen mother is going to be the queen, and the prince is probably the evil seed!"
"Seventh brother can't do it," Yelu Ao Lu shook his head, "If the queen mother wants to be the queen, she will not make a prince, but a princess!" ”
"Lady?"
"Yes," said Yelu Lu with a smile, "or do you want to persuade any one to enter?" ”
Da Okuno nodded, "No wonder the queen mother let Wu Yixin take over the left army of ten thousand households!" ”
Yelu Ao Lu was silent, "This shows that the big war is imminent!"
This time it's a decisive battle...... I am the king of Dongliao, the eldest son of the queen mother, and I must go to war! ”
"Brother Wang...... Do you still help her? ”
Yelu Ao Lu Hu's gaze was a little distant, as if he had crossed the Great Aoye in front of him, and had been cast into the Dading Mansion in the distance.
"How can you not help? The next time the Linhuang Mansion World War was related to the rise and fall of the country. If it is defeated, there will be no more Da Liao. Our brothers, sisters, mothers and sons all have to go to Tianjin to attach themselves to Wu Haogu! What are you fighting about then? It's all a commoner, so it's time for the mother and son to be filial, and the family is safe and sound, and they won't fight anymore......"
……
"Führer, this is the military report of the Military Machinery Regiment stationed in Dongliao!"
General Chen Jian, the military commander of the capital, gave a military salute to Wu Haogu, and then put the bound military newspaper on the bookcase.
Wu Haogu opened the cover of the military newspaper, and it turned out to be a battle plan. The plan first stated the goal of the "Third Battle of Linhuangfu" - to capture Linhuangfu and defeat the rescue forces of the Jin State. Then he put forward the number of troops to be mobilized and the general plan of action!
Including the troops directly used in the battlefield of Linhuangfu and the troops used to cover the grassland on the dam and the meanders of the Liaohe River and the area of Tongzhou (the eastern part of the Horqin grassland).
Among them, the troops directly used in the battlefield of Linhuangfu are the five Eastern Liao cavalry divisions, that is, the five armies of the Eastern Liao.
The left and right armies will each send 20,000 troops, and the remaining three armies will each send 15,000 troops - this figure is the total strength of the regular and auxiliary troops, a total of 85,000 men. The total number of horses and camels used is more than twice the number of troops!
The 40,000 men of the left and right armies are the main force of the "Third Battle of Linhuangfu", which will be led by Xiao Sese and Li Xiaozhong, and will cross the Huang River to the north and directly approach the city of Linhuangfu.
The soldiers and horses of the former army of Wanhu will be stationed in various key fortresses on the north bank of the Huang River to strengthen their defenses and guard the rear roads of the left and right armies. The 15,000-strong army of the Chinese army of Wanhu will be led by Yelu Ao Lu and spread out east of the Qianli pine forest to cover the flank of the army.
The 15,000 people of the Houjun Wanhu will be led by Xiao Sise's brother Xiao Yan and deployed on the grassland west of the Qianli pine forest.
At the same time, the Zhou Republican Army will also be deployed accordingly to cooperate with the military operations in Eastern Liao.
The 1st Cavalry Division, 1st Infantry Division, and 2nd Infantry Division of the Republican Army will form the Linhuang Army, commanded by General Wang Yan, and enter the Linhuang Daleng on the north bank of the Huang River in a fully equipped state.
Once the main force of the Jin Army breaks through the Qianli pine forest and enters the Horqin grassland, Xiao Sese's main force will meet the battle with camel city tactics, and the Republican Army will also give up its superficial neutrality and participate in the battle with reinforcements from three divisions of the Linhuang Army!
The Republican Army's Second Cavalry Division and the Duanzi Cavalry Battalion joined the rear army of Eastern Liao, and would assemble in the Bashang Grassland west of the Qianli Pine Forest.
After the main force of the Jin army was repulsed by the Eastern Liao-Zhou coalition forces, a pursuit battle would be launched west of the Qianli Pine Forest.
Guo's pharmacist division, which is attached to the Republican Army, will also be fully mobilized and stationed in the forward fortress, ready to meet the Jin soldiers who may move south.
In addition, three infantry divisions will be deployed in the rear of Guo Yaoshi's territory to form a second line of defense to ensure the absolute security of the Liao River valley.
Finally, the strategy of the Metropolitan Military Machinery Division also proposed that Wu Hao Guqin lead an infantry division into Dadingfu, the capital of Eastern Liao, and take over the power of the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
"An infantry division of the Zhou State stationed in the capital of Eastern Liao?" Wu Haogu closed the text in his hand and looked up at Jian Chen, "Is this really appropriate?" ”
"The last general thinks it's appropriate!" Chen Jian said, "If you miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to enter Dading Mansion in the future." Moreover, the last general heard the rumor that the Empress Dowager Xiao was ready to accept the support of the generals and courtiers after recovering the Linhuang Mansion and ascend the throne as king. This is the Führer's chance......"
"Opportunity? What chances? Wu Haogu looked at Jian Chen with burning eyes.
Chen Jian said: "What opportunity is entirely up to the head of state, and it is inconvenient to say in the end." ”
"Say it!" Wuhao Ancient Road.
"The Military Machinery Division of the Metropolitan Army," Chen Jiandao, "can take advantage of the mother-son dispute in Eastern Liao to break it up." Canonized Empress Dowager Xiao as Queen Xi and Yelu Ao Lu as King of Liao, so that Eastern Liao could be divided and ruled.
Führer, once Dongliao defeats the Jurchens and recovers Linhuang Mansion, it will be a little bigger! Although Empress Dowager Xiao is extremely deferential to you, it is always a trouble for Eastern Liao to become Da Liao, so it is better to cut the mess with a quick knife. If you think about it, Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't dare to have any objections. ”
Wu Haogu nodded, noncommittal.
