Chapter 442: The embarrassed Yelu Hongji

On the fifth day after the family arrived in Youzhou, Wang Ningan rushed back from the front line of the Great Wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After surveying, a strategy for guarding the Great Wall was formulated.

From east to west, there are a total of five Xiongguan, which are the places that must be guarded, and they are Shanhaiguan, Xifengkou, Gubeikou, Juyong Pass, and Bauhinia Pass.

Among them, Shanhaiguan is Yushu Town, these five Xiongguan are guarded, and the Liao soldiers do not want to cross the Great Wall.

In order to be able to complete the project before the freeze, Wang Ningan vigorously recruited people. Among them, the Khitan nobles of Yanyun, the gentry and landlords of the Liao State, and the soldiers under Chongyuan gathered a total of 100,000 people, and Wang Ningan collected 50,000 from Hebei and other places, plus 100,000 local people in Youzhou, a total of 250,000 people, and made every effort to prepare.

It's just strange that Wang Ningan got so many people, but he didn't enter Guancheng, but kept tinkering in the rear, and he didn't know what he was doing.

……

"Can't you find out at all?"

Zhang Xiaojie trembled, buried his head very low, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Wang Ning'an either killed or abolished the gentry in Youzhou, Wechen has no news for a while, but please rest assured, Wechen will soon find out, and he will definitely be able to do it." ”

Zhang Xiaojie desperately kowtowed to pack the ticket, but what he got was a cold snort from Yelu Hongji!

"Wang Ningan can still see that you people are all waste! Why should I feed you and waste my food in vain! Yelu Hongji suddenly roared angrily: "Come on, pull him down, reduce him to a horse slave, and serve the war horse for me!" ”

Yes!

Zhang Xiaojie is crazy, he is a dignified prince, Wen Kuixing, how can he be a slave? It's so humiliating! He struggled desperately and defended loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to Da Liao, and the loyalty of the minister can be learned from the sun and the moon!" ”

The guards didn't care about 3721, dragged Zhang Xiaojie to the outside of the imperial tent, and they all arrived at the door, and suddenly Yelu Hongji waved his hand and asked people to bring Zhang Xiaojie back.

This Zhang Da Zhuangyuan only thought that His Majesty had a change of heart, like a leper dog who had regained the love of his master, knelt and crawled in front of Yelu Hongji, tears flowed, and kept kowtowing to thank him.

"Your Majesty is kind, your heart is like the sea, and your sainthood is like heaven, the minister will definitely do his best to find out Wang Ning'an's movements, please rest assured, it won't be long before ......"

"And ......"

Yelu Hongji chuckled, "Zhang Xiaojie, I have long known that you are doing business with Wang Ning'an, and you have made a lot of money in the past few years, right?" If you dare to hide it, I will immediately slaughter your whole family! ”

While speaking, there was the 18th lady of Zhang Xiaojie escorted by the palace army, as well as 21 sons and 13 daughters, and Qi Shushu stood in front of him.

Seeing his family, Zhang Xiaojie's eyes went dark and he fainted directly.

……

Zhang Xiaojie was originally known for his greed, and he cooperated with Wang Ningan, and his pockets were a little worse than Yelu Chongyuan.

2 million acres of grassland, 180,000 head of livestock, 6.7 million yuan of money, 250,000 stones of grain, 38,000 pieces of cloth, 1,000 gold ingots, 5,000 silver ingots, and the rest of the jewelry and jade, calligraphy and painting are not counted!

After raiding Zhang Xiaojie's home, Yelu Hongji finally breathed a sigh.

Then there was a sad laugh, he had no money, and he had to rely on raiding his house to survive!

The belongings were not left even for a night, and they were directly divided.

The pasture livestock were given to the kings of the Khitan tribes, the money and grain were used as the food and salary of the palace army and the leather room army, and the rest of the gold, silver, cloth, and various jewels were packed and sent to Yelu Yixin to send to Western Xia!

That's right, it's to send it to Western Xia!!

It is a great irony that the dignified Liao actually wants to grovel to the Western Xia, but if you don't unite with the Western Xia, is there any other choice?

In the first battle of Shunzhou, the army of 100,000 collapsed and disappeared, and less than 30,000 people escaped from the Great Wall with Yelu Hongji.

Fortunately, the Song army was also unable to pursue, otherwise Yelu Hongji might have lost his life.

It took him a few months to restore the strength of his hand to 80,000, including 50,000 in the leather room army, 10,000 in the palace army, and 20,000 in the Tielin army.

It seems that there are quite a few people, but the real elites are all lost in Shunzhou, especially the three thousand heavy horses, and there is not a single one left.

War horses, armor, and weapons were all lost in the Great Song Dynasty!

You must know that these 3,000 people, that is Yelu Hongji poured all his money into it, and after being killed by the Wang family's iron cavalry, they became gamblers who lost all their old books, and there was nothing left.

If before, Yelu Hongji might have chosen to die, but after so much, Yelu Hongji has become stronger.

He returned to the grassland, smelling the wildness, and the wildness in his bones was awakened.

His first holy decree was to order the name of the country to be changed, abolish Daliao, and change it to Khitan!

The name of the Liao State has changed back and forth several times.

Obviously, the Great Liao, the Liao Dynasty, is closer to the name of the Central Plains, and the Khitan is the name of the grassland...... Yelu Hongji bit and completely eliminated the influence of the Han Chinese.

It's interesting to say, the first thing Wang Ningan did was to awaken the soul of the Han, and the first thing Yelu Hongji did was to restore the soul of the Khitan!

The eagles in the sky will not be bound by the trees, the wolves in the wilderness will not be stopped by the valleys, and only the cowardly rabbits will rely on their nests to protect them...... Losing Youzhou, just losing the shackles and returning to the grassland, the Khitans will quickly find the souls of their ancestors, brave, fierce, good at fighting, and fearless...... Wang Ning'an, do you think that if you take away Youzhou, you will be able to defeat me?

No, never!

I want to be reborn, I want to train a stronger iron horseman, and I will pinch you to death!

In order to set an example for his subordinates, Yelu Hongji tore up his silk tunics, put on a leather jacket, burned all the books, furniture, folding fans, and literary toys of the Great Song Dynasty, smashed porcelain, and in short, he swept away all the symbols associated with the Han people.

In order to rule Yanyun, the southern official system had to be adopted, but now Youzhou has been lost, and the Han bureaucracy has no value in existing.

The birds are all hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked!

Zhang Xiaojie, if you want to blame, blame you for being too stupid and too fat, if I don't slaughter you, how will I survive the winter?

Xiao Lu also died, and the descendants of the Xiao clan suffered heavy losses, from the big clan that originally competed with the emperor, to the extent that it was about the same as the Khitan Twenty Divisions.

Yelu Hongji didn't feel the need to take special care of the Shaw family.

He wanted to break the tradition of more than a hundred years and marry a queen from Western Xia!

That's right!

Yelu Hongji plans to marry Western Xia!

The Great Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, a powerful Song Dynasty is not only a nightmare for the Liao State, but also a nightmare for the Western Xia.

Yelu Hongji sent his henchman Yelu Yixin to meet the minister of Western Xia, he hoped to marry Li Yuanhao's daughter, so that he would be the brother-in-law of the Western Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo, and the two countries happened to be called brothers, and they worked together to deal with the Great Song Dynasty.

In order to achieve the goal, Yelu Hongji made a bloody investment, he promised to give up the old coins between the Khitan and the Western Xia, and took out a heavy treasure and gave it to the unhidden Pang, who must promote this matter.

Yelu Hongji was very depressed, but he was very helpless, uniting with Western Xia was a move that must be taken!

He must fight for a period of time to allow the Khitan warriors to regain their wildness, return to nomadism from a state of half-farming and half-pasture, and regain their combat strength.

It is easier said than done, for more than 100 years, the Khitan nobles have been accustomed to a pampered life, they can't do without those luxuries of the Great Song Dynasty for a moment, silky silk is their favorite, and they are addicted to sweets, so that many people's teeth are broken, and they can't eat jerky...... Bloated, cowardly, afraid of cold, afraid of bitterness...... This is the virtue of most of the Khitan nobles.

If you want them to regain their wildness, I'm afraid it's harder than climbing to the sky.

Since there is no hope, it is better to destroy them and retrain a group of warriors with full combat power!

Crazy thoughts grew in Yelu Hongji's heart, and he summoned all the kings of the Khitan Twenty Tribes.

"I bow down and lose Youzhou, I really have no shame to see my ancestors and ancestors, and I don't have the face to see my father and old clansmen...... But since I am the Khitan Emperor, I can't sit idly by and ignore the chaos, and in a few months, the snow will cover the land, and everything will freeze to death. Without food and clothing, no one will be able to survive the winter. In the past, these were all through Youzhou, through the field, relying on trade in exchange, this time we have to pick up the knife in our hands again, ride the war horse, to rob, to grab the ...... I will fight with you, and we will fight for survival! ”

Yelu Hongji tried his best to stir up everyone's morale in a tragic tone, but to his disappointment, many nobles only curled up their fat bodies even harder.

They want to say that it's a big deal to continue to trade and exchange our cattle and sheep for grain from the Great Song Dynasty, what's wrong with this, if you can not fight, don't fight, think about the biting cold wind, the snowflakes like knives, they shudder. The Song people want Yan Yun, so they might as well let it out, anyway, it is a white land, and they don't feel distressed if they lose it. As long as it doesn't affect their lives.

Yelu Hongji is going crazy, these guys are not even as good as pigs!

At least the pig was kicked and knew how to resist, they didn't even have the idea of resisting, and they continued, just afraid that after a few decades, the Khitan would be wiped out!

Not to mention, it is true that after a few decades, the rise of the Jin Kingdom, the Khitan disappeared completely, and Yelu Hongji was also prescient.

War!

Have to fight!

Or kill Wang Ning'an!

Or let Wang Ningan kill these wastes and eradicate useless burdens for the Khitan!

Yelu Hongji made up his mind.

Different from the previous tentative raids, this time Yelu Hongji was going to make a big move, and he personally commanded 50,000 leather room troops, approaching the Xifengkou and Shanhaiguan lines.

As for the other tribes, they can't be idle, they know very well that if they don't have food to eat, no clothes to wear, and don't work hard, they may starve to death and freeze to death!

Although reluctantly, there was no way, more than 200,000 cavalry were mobilized, they were divided into large and small teams, although they did not do it for some days, but after all, they were robbers for many years, and they knew how to fight grass valley from birth.

The Khitan army is ready to go!

Yelu Hongji was very cautious, and he sent countless cavalry to reconnoiter the situation at Shanhaiguan, and the news he received was encouraging.

Two months ago, less than 10,000 people were sent into Shanhaiguan to renovate the foundation. Dream on!

Wang Ning'an!

I want you to taste the bitter fruit of arrogance!
