Chapter 478: Whistleblowing
The night was dark, and the place where the five thousand Song soldiers rested was a little far away from the place where ordinary Liaodong rebels stayed.
Xiao Jingye walked forward, carefully observing to prevent being discovered, and after half an hour, he came to the place where the Song army was resting.
The resting place of the Song army was unusually well defended, and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere, and Xiao Jingye had just appeared and was immediately discovered.
"Who!" There was a loud shout from the side, and Xiao Jingye found that there were several Song Army soldiers standing not far away.
Some Song soldiers had already raised their weapons, and some had already gone behind him, blocking his back road. In addition, there seemed to be a sound of walking in the surrounding grass, as if the rest of the surrounding Song Jiang were also coming towards here.
After arriving here, Xiao Jingye felt that he was really in the army! Although the rebels are also "armies", they are at best a group of old and weak women and children who have no food to eat, and the rebels are basically unorganized and undisciplined, and no one keeps vigil like this!
"In the quiet night of Xia Xiao, he is the commander canonized by His Royal Highness the King of Liao, and he has something important to ask to see His Royal Highness the King of Liao!" The surrounding atmosphere made Xiao Jingye feel a little depressed, and he hurriedly spoke.
The soldiers had already walked over, and one of them looked at Xiao Jingye carefully, nodded, and said, "It turned out to be General Xiao, you come in with us!" ”
Xiao Jingye was also an important figure in the Liaodong Rebel Army, and the soldiers of the Song Army had seen him, so they were able to recognize his identity.
At that moment, Xiao Jingye followed these soldiers towards the inside.
Along the way, he could see that many Song soldiers were sleeping, they were lying in the grass, and many people were huddled together to keep each other warm! When you walk inside, you can also meet the soldiers standing guard, and there are soldiers who keep asking for the military order code, and they can only continue to move forward after confirming their identity!
Half an hour later, they finally met Yeluhong, the king of Liao, and Wang Gui was also beside Yeluhong at this moment.
"Xiao Jingye sees His Royal Highness the King of Liao, and General Wang Gui!" Xiao Jingye stepped forward and saluted.
"You came to us in the middle of the night, what's the matter?" Yelu Hongdao.
"Your Highness, someone wants to rebel!" Xiao Jingye took a deep breath, and her heart continued to struggle, and only after a while did she speak suddenly.
"Someone wants to rebel?" Ye Luhong was taken aback, and Wang Gui next to him was also stunned.
"Yes, there are people who want to rebel! Yelufeng wants to trick the righteous army into killing General Wang Gui and killing the friendly troops of the Song Dynasty! In addition, Yelufeng wants to support Your Majesty as the emperor of Liao, and when the time comes, Yelufeng himself will serve as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses! Xiao Jingye said.
"There is such a thing?" Ye Luhong was incredulous, and Wang Gui's face showed a sneer.
"Your Highness, what I said is true! You and General Wang appointed Xiao Qilang and others as the commanders of ten thousand people, Ye Lufeng was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, so he wanted to rebel! He wanted to restore the Liao State wholeheartedly, and he was never willing to take refuge in the Han people! Your Highness, at night, he summoned several leaders of the rebel army from Zhenhai Mansion and asked us to prepare for a rebellion! If you don't believe me, you can find them and ask them carefully! Xiao Jingye had already gone out at this moment, and said.
"Yelufeng wants to rebel, why don't you follow him? Why did you report it to us? Wang Gui didn't speak all the time, and suddenly spoke at this moment.
"This ...... Just because I understand that what Yelufeng did would only harm us Khitans, and would not do the Khitan any good! Our Khitan has destroyed the country, although there are still millions of people, although there are still rebels, but the rebels are all rabble! If the Jurchens really go all out to deal with the rebels, we are definitely not their opponents! What's more, the Han people are now extremely powerful! In Yanyun and the Central Plains, you can defeat the Jurchens, and your strength is already above them! We can't even beat the Jurchens, let alone the Han Chinese? The population of the Han people is dozens or hundreds of times that of the Jurchens, and it is also dozens of times that of our Khitans! Now that the Han people have become stronger, no foreign ethnic group is your opponent! If Yelufeng's plan succeeds, and His Royal Highness the King of Liao really ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the Jurchens will take the lead in encircling and suppressing us, and when we and the Jurchens are both defeated, the Han people will also be killed, and at that time it will really be the end of the Khitans! Besides, although there are many rebels now, they have no food or drink, so we can only rob them! But what are we going to do after we've robbed all the cities? Is it starving to death? When the time comes, we will still have to rely on the Han people! I have been following His Royal Highness King Liao for many days, and I think about these truths every day! I understand that it is impossible for the Liao State to be restored, and the only thing I can do now is to let the Khitans live! As long as the millions of Khitans in Liaodong can have enough to eat, this is enough! Xiao Jingye let out a long sigh and said.
Ye Luhong was chewing on Xiao Jingye's words at the moment, and he was extremely surprised in his heart, even he hadn't thought about these truths! Of course, Ye Luhong himself is timid and cowardly, all his family members are in Yanjing City, he has no idea of betraying the Great Song Dynasty, and after listening to Xiao Jingye's words at this moment, he has no intention of betraying.
"You just rest here, and I will discuss this matter with His Royal Highness the King of Liao." Wang Gui thought for a while and said.
Xiao Jingye nodded, he walked forward under the leadership of the soldiers, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, he knew that Wang Gui would definitely not let go of Yelufeng and the others! But he really can't let Yelufeng risk the fate of millions of Khitans! In his opinion, the only wise way now is to continue to follow Yeluhong and Wang Gui, hoping that the Han people in the south can be killed in Liaodong and the grassland as soon as possible, the Han people have always been famous for their kindness, and he also heard that the Khitan people in the sixteen states of Yanyun are indeed living well, and the Khitan people in Liaodong and the grassland can really be rescued at that time!
"General Wang, are you saying that what Xiao Jingye said is true?" Yelu Hongdao.
"It should be true! When I first started the uprising, I could see that this Yelufeng did not approve of His Highness and our Song Army! It's just that Xiao Jingye and the others are willing to follow His Highness, so he has to follow! Later, another stone man was born, and under the general trend, he could only take refuge in His Royal Highness! Now that the rebels are constantly attacking the city, he naturally has ambitions! However, even if Xiao Jingye didn't take refuge in me, I would find a way to clean up Yelu Peak! The rebel army must be completely controlled by the imperial court, and Yelufeng and others cannot control the power! Before, it was just to incite the people of Zhenhai Mansion to rebel, so they were just used for it, but now they are so ignorant of raising their spirits, we will kill them! Wang Gui said coldly.
"Kill them now?" Yeluhong was stunned for a moment and said.
"Now that the rebel army has just been formed, their prestige is limited! If they wait for a long time, they have built up their own army of cronies and have great prestige, then it will be difficult to kill! Now the highest prestige in the rebel army is naturally your Royal Highness, everyone knows that the stone man was born, and everyone knows that 'open the city gate to welcome the king of Liao', as long as you say a word, the people of the rebel army will naturally kill him! However, in order not to chill the rebels, we also have to use some small tricks! Wang Guidao.
"A ploy?"
"Your Highness, just look at my means! It's actually very easy to clean them up! It's just to give 200,000 Khitan people an acceptable reason! Wang Gui smiled faintly.
******
There was a slight light on the horizon, and it was already the beginning of autumn, and the morning was a little cold.
The grass was full of dew, and Yelufeng and his brothers were lying in this dew at the moment.
A noisy voice came from afar, and Yelufeng was awakened and said, "What happened?" ”
"Your Highness, it's a commander under Xiao Qilang who wants to see you!" A rebel soldier ran over and said.
"Xiao Qilang's men?" Yelu Feng was a little surprised, he wiped his eyes, and said, "Let him come to see me!" ”
Yelufeng had already regarded Xiao Qilang as his biggest opponent now, and he even felt that after eliminating Wang Gui and the Song army in the future, he would have to fight with Xiao Qilang! At this moment, he was full of confusion, and he didn't understand what Xiao Qilang's commander was doing.
After a while, a young man dressed in tatters walked over, but unlike ordinary people, he carried a knife at his waist, and he had a military temperament, and his every move was different! Yelufeng hates this kind of temperament the most, because Xiao Qilang is such a person, and he doesn't like such people!
"The last general will see General Yelu!" After the commander came to Yelu Peak, he half-knelt down and said.
"What are you doing to see me?" Yelufeng yawned and said.
"We, General Xiao, found a wild boar nest last night and killed two wild boars, and he asked me to give one of them to you, General! In addition, my general said that we are all brothers in the rebel army, and we should work together to deal with the Jurchens, and we should not quarrel with each other! In addition to this wild boar, General Xiao also has some food to give to you, I hope you will smile! The commander said.
Hearing this, Ye Lufeng showed a sneer on his face, he guessed that Xiao Qilang wanted to be soft, and wanted to take the initiative to befriend him and please him! Of course, Xiao Qilang may also want to paralyze him! However, no matter what, if Xiao Qilang sent the food, he would definitely not refuse! He hadn't eaten a full meal in days, and now he was hungry with his chest pressed against his back!
"Where are the wild boars? What else to eat? Take them all! Yelufeng waved his hand and said.
"Wait a minute, General!" The Centurion nodded.
After a while, more than twenty soldiers came towards the place, and four of them carried a huge wild boar, but the wild boar had already been roasted, and the smell of meat emanated from it!
In addition to the wild boar, there are a few people in the back with a plate of dim sum, some people hold two jars of wine, some people actually hold a plate of gold ingots, and some people hold a string of eastern pearls, all kinds of things to eat, drink and have fun! The more than twenty soldiers put all these things on the ground, and Yelu Feng stayed there all at once!
Say:
