Chapter 430: Yelu Dashi!
If in the original history, Zhu Zilong was Ma Zhi, knowing that the Great Song Dynasty was so cheating father, even if he was a neutral, he would not be a leading party if he died.
It's a pity that he Ma Zhi doesn't have the ability to foresee, and when he saw Tong Guan's second envoy to Liao, he looked overjoyed. Zhu Zilong's doppelganger didn't want to hit him, anyway, history had already been revised a lot. The ending is already difficult to say, and it is a bad thing that he will not see when he votes for Song!
Zhu Zilong's doppelganger originally sent an envoy to Liao this time, and originally hoped to meet Yue Fei after a while when he passed by the Northwest Army base. It's a pity that I later learned that he is now working under the seat of the planter, which is unexpected.
Tong Guan and the planter are not in harmony, and he is not good, but he specially visited to take a look.
The mission finally arrived at the embassy, and naturally there was no need for Zhu Zilong's doppelganger to participate in the main matter, after all, he was only a third-class deputy envoy, and he was not even a deputy envoy. The meeting between the two sides must be preceded by a banquet and a polite meeting, and of course it must be preceded by an official meeting that has no effect at all. It's like the civil servants in later generations who held meetings at every turn!
The doppelganger of Zhu Zilong, who was listening, sat in the back seat and almost fell asleep. It's so boring!
However, suddenly a Liao Guowu was late, and someone on the side hurriedly gave way, but this person didn't seem to want to alarm anyone too much, so he sat down quietly in the position of a Liao official opposite Zhu Zilong's clone.
"My lord, this person is the general of this place in the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi!" The informant hurriedly whispered on the side of Zhu Zilong's clone.
Is it him?
Zhu Zilong's doppelganger was shocked, and he hurriedly took a closer look. However, he saw that this benevolent brother had shaved the hair on the top of his head, and the hair on the back and sides of his head hung straight down, which was called kun hair, which was the traditional attire of the Khitan people, similar to a bald head.
The appearance is dignified, the appearance is extraordinary, and the dress is even more gorgeous. said to be like a military general, but more like a civilian official or a powerful person.
"This is the later founding emperor of Western Liao, right? I didn't expect it to be so easy to meet a real person, and it was right across from me. Well, think about it carefully, it seems that one of the main reasons why the Song army attacked here later and failed was because it was this guy who fought back later, right? If I find an opportunity to kill him now, I will definitely be crooked! Zhu Zilong's heart and mind brightened.
-
This is the only Khitan who has been admitted to the Jinshi in the nearly 200-year history of the Liao State, well, I don't know if this is praising the Liao people, or is it ironic.
In this way, Yelu Dashi should be said to be born as a literati, and it was already 1115 when he passed the examination (the Liao Dynasty had begun the process of extinction). Calculating the time, it won't be long before the Jurchen army captures the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion of the Liao State. The eastern territory of the Liao State was all captured by the Jurchen army, and after a series of battles, the Liao State had no offensive power, and the Jurchen gradually became another tiger and wolf country in the north.
However, Comrade Oishi here is a different kind of existence.
The Song Dynasty's courtiers, who were far away in Kaifeng, Tokyo, saw this opportunity and "took advantage of its illness to kill it", and the Song Dynasty decided to join forces with the Jurchens to attack the Liao State. Just like the current envoy to Liao, he is also preparing for such a plan.
If history remains the same, the sneak attack plan looks good. Unfortunately, although the Liao army in the Yanyun region was only 40,000 people, it was the last elite army of the Liao State. For now, Zhu Zilong can be sure that the Liao Emperor will gather the troops capable of fighting in Youzhou, and is ready to send envoys to discuss with the Song Dynasty to jointly resist the Jurchens.
The two sides can be said to have their own ghosts!
At this time, the attack on the Liao State can be said to have hit the iron plate and touched the last family of the Liao State. In view of the situation of the Song army itself, it is difficult to be undefeated.
After all, at that time, people were barefoot and not afraid to wear leather shoes, so they fought hard!
I have to say that Tong Guan did know everything about the army, and he did make some achievements in the war against Western Xia and the suppression of domestic peasant uprisings. But "I'm afraid of comparing goods", Zhu Zilong's doppelganger looked at the old boy who was talking and laughing in front of him, and then looked at the opposite side and looked at the Yelu Dashi around.
After the fall of the Liao State, this Yelu Dashi fled to the northwest with dozens of cavalry, and rebuilt the Great Liao State in the northwest by himself, which shows the level of this person. Tong Guan, a famous general of the Song Army, is obviously not a level in comparison!
Of course, it can't be blamed entirely on Tong Guan's incompetence.
Tong Guan has been in charge of the army for more than 20 years, and the Shaanxi Forbidden Army under his command has become the most elite army in the Great Song Dynasty. A famous anti-Jin general in the Southern Song Dynasty. Eight or nine out of ten were from the Western Army.
Tong Guan's capture of the Hengshan Tiandu Mountain line means that if it continues to develop, the Great Song Dynasty border will expand westward by 3,000 miles. If it weren't for the incompetence of the capital and the forbidden army, he would have become a pig teammate. He also abolished his martial arts and disbanded the Shaanxi Forbidden Army, and even sent some stupid civilian officials to take over the Yanyun states, not thinking about governance, and forcing the Yanyun states to rebel. What's even more shameless is that it is obviously the civilian clique that forced Yanyun to oppose him. Let the country of gold have a chance. In turn, he slandered Tong Guan. It's disgusting!
In this way, it is really not that the opponent is too hanging. But the problem of the Great Song Dynasty was that the civil officials and doctors themselves were incompetent, did not have the ability to protect their families and defend the country, and they had to prevent the persecution of those who defended their families and the country.
For example, when the Liao State was destroyed and the Jin State attacked the Song Dynasty.
The besieged Tokyo was also held by the retired officers and defeated soldiers of the Western Army, and the minister who was born as a jinshi found someone to jump the great god and lost the outer city.
After the city wall was lost, there were soldiers, weapons, and food, and the people of Tokyo were also willing to fight in the streets, and it was the Jinshi who collected horses, food, weapons, treasures, and women to send gold, and later sent the families of the officials who held on to Hebei also, and finally even the royal family sent them, and I really didn't see what the use of these wastes from the imperial examination was.
-
Before the meeting was over, Yelu Dashi on the opposite side quietly left. It really came quietly, went quietly, and left no clouds.
Looking at his back, the eyes of Zhu Zilong's clone sometimes showed murderous aura, and sometimes showed a hint of admiration. Regardless of the position of friend or foe, this person should be regarded as the last great hero, and he is also a person who has had a great influence on the history of the East, and even the history of the West.
Xiao Gan and he both have the emperor's life!
When Xiao Gan was destroyed in the Liao State, he established himself as Emperor Xi, although he was later killed by his subordinates for various reasons, and he became an emperor for a few months. Only proved himself, but also famous.
Yelu Dashi is even more remarkable, after the death of Liao, he traveled thousands of miles to the west, united the Khitan remnants and local ethnic groups, opened up the territory, rebuilt the Liao State, and was known as the Western Liao in history.
He was a typical pragmatist. In the event of a strategic threat from both sides, it can strike hard. In the case of losing contact with the emperor of Liao, he will quickly support a new lord and stabilize the situation.
Even when he was defeated and captured, he did not hesitate to show his character, and was willing to lead the way for the Jin army advancing westward, and then find a chance to slip away.
He became the emperor of Western Liao, and because he went all the way to the west, he made his name to the countries in the west N years in advance. So much so that in the literature of the Arabs, when it comes to China, it is called "Khitan"!
(The name China, in the pronunciation of Europeans, means "Khitan", and it has been used even after the founding of New China in the 21st century.) )
