Chapter 399: The official family has the courage to send troops

Facing up into a pot of porridge, Yelu Hongji was really annoyed, he slapped the dragon chair, and some people below stopped fighting, at this time he shouted with a cold face, "The North Court Government intends to order to take the post of Yelu Dashi North Privy Council, transfer the South Privy Council Xiao Fengxian as the North Privy Council Envoy, Yelu Dashi descends to the North Privy Council, and acts as the generalissimo of Xijing Soldiers and Horses, and makes every effort to recapture the first line of the Great Wall and Wuzhou City." ”

This imperial decree was very resolute, without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Fengxian and the others were annoyed, such a good opportunity to hit Yelu Dashi was not captured, then there will be no such opportunity in the future. From the North Privy Council, he will be the deputy position, which looks very strict, but there is a fact that cannot be changed, that is, Yelu Dashi's official position has not yet left the Northern Privy Council, and the real power position of the generalissimo of Xijing has not been moved, that is to say, as long as there is merit, Yelu Dashi can take back the position of the North Privy Council envoy at any time.

Yelu Yixin's face turned the color of pig liver, and His Majesty was really eccentric. Yelu Yixin wants to help Yelu Chun to ascend to the throne, and the biggest stumbling block is Yelu Dashi, because Yelu Dashi's prestige in the army is unparalleled, and he has heavy troops. Yelu Yixin had a relationship with Yelu Hongji when he was a teenager, so he knows a lot about this Great Liao Majesty, what is the reason why His Majesty made a decision so quickly? Is it just because of the confession of the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan?

Yelu Yixin is a careful person, and after the dispersal of the court, he asked his cronies in the palace to investigate, and without much trouble, he inquired about the queen Xiao Guanyin. Yelu Yixin was full of sneers, she really deserved to be a descendant of the Yao Yuan Bali clan, even a weak woman like Xiao Guanyin, who also had a little bit of the insight of the Empress Dowager Xiao. I thought I would send Xiao Zhiyun away. When you go to Beijing, no one can control Your Majesty. I never wanted to forget this Xiao Guanyin. It seems later. You'll have to figure it out.

In Hongzhou City, when the imperial decree came, Xiao Sixian was so angry that he kicked over the bookcase in front of him, "Xiao Guanyin, Xiao Zhiyun, are you the women of the Bali clan specifically against my Dahe clan?" Wait for it, sooner or later, one day Lao Tzu will let you lie at the feet of Lao Tzu."

Xiao Sixian's eyes were ruthless and lewd, he didn't want to kill these two women, such wonderful women. Wouldn't it be nice to have some profanity?

In the early morning of 17 May, at the time of the court meeting in Linhuang Mansion, the city of Wuzhou was solemn, and every street and every open space was full of soldiers. Zhao Yougong held the sword of King Qin, a purple robe, embroidered with a golden dragon, a belt of jasper, and a purple and gold crown on his head. At this time, he is high. Like a great king, bowing his head and smiling, yet approachable. Facing the rising sun, raise your right hand high.

"The end of the war, thanks to my soldiers to fight bravely, today, this king swears to heaven, from now on, this king and all the brothers live and die to help each other, blessed and enjoy the same hardship, those who serve in the army, let the old have support, the small have something to rely on, the dead, the beard is endless, the living, the glorious lintel. From now on, this northwest land, when there is the voice of my Guanzhong Erlang, it will be mighty"

"Dingwei Wuwu Dingweiwu"

A shout was like thunder, some of the residents in Wuzhou City were infected, some were frightened, they are now this Han soldiers and horses are not as good as before, they are full of courage, the fighting spirit is surging, they are full of pride, where they go, this pride will be brought wherever they go.

Ding, taking the opportunity for more than 20 years, now the sword is killed, and it will be famous.

The flower-filled Bianliang City, even under the warm sun, is still cool and pleasant, the flowers are open, the birds are singing, a few orioles and willow branches are singing softly, and the river is glowing with leisurely colored light. In the palace, Zhao Ji stroked the strings with his hands, but he didn't have the heart to play the piano, and his face was much better. These days, under the care of Concubine Liu, my mood has also improved a lot. Today is sunny and I was going to go to Genyue Garden to play, but before I left the palace gate, I got a news.

It was scheduled to defeat 120,000 Liao soldiers outside Wuzhou City, with a small number of troops, beheaded more than 100,000 enemies, Khitan generals Gu Nalie and Han Dexiang were killed, General Pang He was captured, Deputy Marshal Yelusha was seriously wounded, and the horse infantry commanded Su Kesha, Tuobuye, Bu She, and Xun Ying were killed. The Battle of Wuzhou City lasted 23 days, a total of more than 120,000 enemies were annihilated, and in the last battle, the Liaoshangjing Iron Cavalry, the Xijing Cheetah Battalion, and the 3,000 Iron Floating Slaughter were all destroyed.

How many years has the Great Song not been so victorious? Such a vigorous victory should have made people happy, but Zhao Ji was not happy at all. Zhao Ji didn't know much about Liao, but he knew Yelu Dashi, this person's army of more than 100,000 people in Xijing, but the rare elite soldiers and horses in Daliao, never thought that the 100,000 Xijing army was defeated by Zhao Yougong. When he got the news, he first didn't believe it, and then he was afraid, he was really afraid, if that nephew led the troops to invade Hedong and attack Xijing, what should he Zhao Ji do? Hundreds of thousands of elites of the Liao Kingdom are not the opponents of that nephew, so what can the newly defeated soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty do?

Concubine Liu has been by her side, watching the official family's face change and change, she is also really annoyed, how can the official family be like this? Is there any other choice? Even if it is dangerous, Zhao Yougong must be destroyed, this has nothing to do with right or wrong, only about royal power, at this time Zhao Yougong's foundation is unstable, it is a good time to do it, if time passes, Zhao Yougong's power will only become stronger. At least, that's what Concubine Liu thinks, if she is the emperor, even if she tries her best, she will destroy Zhao Yougong, because if she doesn't destroy him, sooner or later she will fall at his feet.

It's a pity that the official family is still the same official family, even after going through so many things, he still hasn't changed at all, he is afraid, so he wants to make peace, do you want to maintain this delicate relationship with Zhao Yougong?

In fact, Concubine Liu also admires Zhao Yougong, this son has endured for more than ten years, and at the age of twenty, he went down to the land of Fuzhong and Wuzhou City, which can be described as a blockbuster and out of control. Such a man should be the lord of the world and admired by women. If the official family is half ruthless and half scheming, she Liu Xinyuan will die, and there will be no complaints.

Thinking of the past, my heart was full of wry smiles, I remember that every time we met before, Zhao Yougong always looked at him secretly, looking at him with a lustful heart and no cowardice, and it was ridiculous to see him at that time. Now think about it. It's all fake. He calculated everything, even down to the smallest detail. There is also that Zhu Lian, in the name of repentance, who entered the affairs of the Zhu family, and how long has it been since he was already on par with the Cheshire Lord of Hengwang's Mansion. A Zhao Yougong and a Zhu Lian, how terrible is the combination of these two? What else is the official hesitating about. If you don't kill at this time, there will be endless troubles.

Zhao Ji didn't have the courage after all, he ran out of ideas, so he asked a few close ministers to be called to the imperial study.

Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, Gong Zhen, Li Yan, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan, and Gao Yu were all sitting in the imperial study, at this time they did not know the details of the Wuzhou War. Less than 40,000 people defeated the 120,000 army of the Liao State, killing and wounding more than 100,000 people, what a feat is this?

It's a pity that none of the ministers can laugh. Because they know very well in their hearts that Zhao Yougong is more capable. The more they have no good fruit to eat. Zhao Yougonggui is the first emperor's concubine, isn't it forbearance, isn't it because of imperial power? He will raise troops in the northwest and gain a firm foothold, he will definitely take back the Central Plains, and he wants to regain what belongs to him, that is, the supreme imperial power. Youdao is a generation of emperors and courtiers, just based on what he did to Zhao Yougong before, can this person let them go? So whether it's for the official family or for yourself, you must do your best to think of a way.

For the first time, the ministers put aside their prejudices and came up with ideas together. It's ridiculous to say, even when they were fighting Liao, Wang Hao, Cai Jing and others were fighting openly and secretly, but now they are working together to deal with their own people.

Among the several people, Gong Zhu was the most calm, so several people looked at Gong Zhu, and Liang Shicheng even arched his hand, "Master Gong, what do you have in mind?" ”

Gong Zhan smiled lightly and bitterly, the idea? He felt that these people were really confused, what else could he have at this time? The only choice is to fight, if you win, kill Zhao Yougong and his family, and after he has no worries, he will copy Fuxiang Zhu's family for the crime of rebellion, and the Zhu family should kill the exile who should be exiled. If you can't win the war, it's not too late to think about how to negotiate peace.

"The official, according to what the palace thinks, no matter what, he should send someone to fight a dozen Hangu Passes, if Hangu Pass is a bit, you can go straight to the pass, kill the queen of Jinling, and all the problems will not be a problem. If you really can't beat Hangu Pass, it's not too late to think about it. ”

Gong Zhu was the most appropriate to mention, but he never thought that the official Zhao Ji frowned, and said with a little fear, "Do you still have to fight?" ”

Confused, Gong Zhan is stunned, and he still has to fight? Is this what an emperor should say? is so indecisive, it's really annoying, so who is Zhao Yougong? He is the first emperor's concubine, the son of the king of Chu, that is the veritable bloodline of the first emperor, if he raises the banner, the name is justified. If you really want to make trouble, this genuine prince of Chu is much more terrifying than those bandits who keep making trouble. The grass people rebelled, and most of them ended up dying and the lights went out, because of the rebellion, the name is not right, but what about Zhao Yougong? He only had to forge an edict, saying that the first emperor wanted to pass the throne to King Jian, as if Zhao Zhao. All this is enough, and who among the subjects of the world can know whether the edict is true or false?

"Official, listen to the minister's words, what Mr. Gong mentioned, it should be the best, don't hesitate. At this time, the king of Jinling was in Wuzhou, and he had no time to take care of it, it was a good time for soldiers, if he missed it, wouldn't it be a loss? ”

Cai Jing stood up at the right time, Gao Yu and others then got up and agreed, and all the favored ministers supported the dispatch of troops, but it was really the first time in history. These ministers responded individually, and the official Zhao Ji finally had some confidence, he pointed to the palace with his hand, and said softly, "Sir, the matter of sending troops is entrusted to you and the Privy Council, and the person who leads the troops and the deployment of soldiers and horses can make their own decisions." ”

Gao Yu and Gong Yan hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Xie Guan's family trusts." ”

Gong Zhen and Gao Yu were entrusted with important tasks, and others did not have the slightest envy, and it was not an easy job to fight Hanguguan, but if they didn't do it, they would be ruined.

Now the Great Song Dynasty has just experienced a fiasco in the invasion of Liao, hundreds of thousands of troops died in the north, and there is no return, and there is civil unrest everywhere, and the troops are stretched. In this case, Zhao Ji can still make up his mind to go to Guguan, which is very rare. When she learned the news that the official family wanted soldiers, Concubine Liu was really taken aback, it seemed that the official family was not hopelessly pedantic. In order to capture Hangu Pass, Tong Guan had not yet returned to Beijing, and rushed to Luoyang, Xijing, after receiving the order. At the same time, the imperial court was under the control of Liu Yanqing and Xijing, with more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Hanguguan under his command.

And just when the imperial court was stationed in Luoyang, Xijing, and the army of Zhun Ben was crusading against Hangu Pass, Tokyo Bianliang City was full of news that I didn't know whether it was true or not.

In the Deyue Building, a merchant in Guanzhong drank wine, hugged his sister and laughed, "Queniang, have you heard, His Royal Highness the King of Jinling led the troops to occupy Wuzhou City, and the Khitan army of more than 100,000 people who fought a few days ago returned with a miserable defeat, beheaded more than 100,000 enemies, and the dead people covered the entire land of Shenchi. ”

"Meng Daguan, you can't drink this wine anymore, what nonsense are you talking about?" Where is Magpie Niang willing to believe? When the King of Jinling was still the King of Yongning County, he often came to the building to fool around, who was he, and the sisters could not be clear? To say that he defeated the Khitan army of more than 100,000 is better to say that there are two suns in the sky. (To be continued!)
