Chapter 529: Xia Jun who has become active
Yelu Dashi fled, and Queen Xiao Ta Buyan took control of the real power of Western Liao and became a veritable ruler. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Xiao Ta Buyan took power, he immediately concentrated military power in his own hands. After he promoted his confidant Xiao Chong to master the forbidden army, he asked Xiao Chu to gather the surrounding troops and train them. And Xiao Chong also trained the forbidden army day and night. According to Xiao Ta Buyan's words, the forbidden army is the strongest army in Daliao, and its combat power must be strong in the general army.
The changes in power and the army in Western Liao soon spread throughout Western Liao through the mouths of refugees. Along with these, there is also a news that Zhao Shuo has personally led an army of 300,000 to the rescue in order to rescue Daliao. However, due to the hasty departure and insufficient logistical supplies, Da Liao decided to reduce the food supply to the refugees in order to thank Zhao Shuo for his rescue, so as to leave it for Zhao Shuo to recover his homeland in Western Liao.
Completely different from Yelu Dashi's original thoughts, the refugees not only did not riot against the army that saved food for Zhao Shuo, but gave crazy support. Many people have chosen to go on hunger strikes so that the imperial court can boil less rice to express their support.
This situation has a lot to do with the conquest policy of the Mongol army. The Mongol army adopted a strict hierarchical division, and the Mongols were at the top, and the people of other ethnic groups were reduced to the bottom, and life became more and more miserable, which is also the reason for the constant resistance of the people everywhere. After all, no one wants to make their lives worse.
Li Yuanhao was resting in a small col at this time, and after the news came, he really didn't believe it.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that Yelu Dashi ran away is something he can't believe.
The emperor of a dynasty, because of the invaders, did not choose to resist in the end, but chose to escape, and even more speechless, he chose to escape, but left his own woman to resist.
No matter how you look at it, it's a strange thing. What does Yelu Dashi say, he is also a generation of heroes, would he do such a thing? Li Yuanhao is really a little difficult to accept.
But the facts are the facts, although Li Yuanhao didn't want to believe it, he couldn't stand everyone around him talking about it, and the news that Tuoba Hong he sent back was exactly the same as the news that was spread.
In particular, Tuoba also pointed out that after learning of these news, Muto had already ordered to speed up his march.
Muto's reaction says it all. In the past, Li Yuanhao thought that these news were likely spread by Mutuo, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
Since the news was not disseminated by Muto, it also stimulated Mutuo to speed up his travel, which will verify the correctness of the message.
"What does it mean that this Xiao Tower doesn't smoke?" After confirming the accuracy of the matter, Li Yuanhao became puzzled. "At this time, when these news came out, didn't that force the Mongols to march quickly to destroy themselves?"
"Yelu Dashi's departure may have shaken the foundation of Da Liao, Xiao Ta Buyan's move is not an oath that Da Liao has entered her period of control." Tuoba Hong gave his own understanding.
"Even if you have this plan, it's too presumptuous!" Li Yuanhao shook his head slightly. "These news are obviously about to defeat Mongolia, and they also tell the news that the army of King Song has arrived, which is completely stimulating Mongolia."
Sighing, Li Yuanhao looked at Tuoba Hong. "Just like the news you heard, the Mongols are now marching with all their might, just to take Gaochang before the arrival of Zhao Shuo's army, resulting in the fact that Western Liao has been destroyed."
"What are we going to do?" Tuoba Hong asked. At this time, the Mongols marched with all their might, and they were carrying out small fights and disturbances, which was no longer enough to hold back the Mongol army. That's why Tuoba Hong has this question.
Li Yuanhao was very depressed at this time, the attack tactics had already worked, and according to his speculation, it would take four or five days for the Mongol army to reach Gaochang.
But now, the Mongol army marched at full strength, and counting their rest time, could reach the city of Gaochang the next day.
With the current combat effectiveness of the Western Liao army, it is impossible to stop the Mongol army, let alone two days of emergency training, even if it is two months of training.
And the army of Zhao Shuo who said it doesn't know when it will arrive!
"What to do, what to do, what else to do, fight, do your best to drag the Mongolian army!" Li Yuanhao said angrily.
"Hit?" Tuoba Hong looked at Li Yuanhao with a look of complete disbelief on his face.
The current Xia army has long been scattered in all directions, and it is so easy to assemble. I'm afraid that after the Xia army is fully assembled, Gaochang City will have already been defeated by the Mongols.
In view of these circumstances, it is completely incomprehensible for Tuoba Hong to say that Li Yuanhao is beating.
"If Gaochang is defeated by the Mongols, what is the use of the Song King's army coming?" Li Yuanhao sighed heavily. "We must do our best to hold back the Mongol army and wait for Zhao Shuo's arrival, this is the only thing we must do now."
"However, our soldiers have long been dispersed, and now it is too late to assemble, so relying on these people in our hands to intercept the Mongol army is simply a fool's dream." Tuoba Hong has already expressed his opposition to Li Yuanhao's statement.
"What can I do then?" Li Yuanhao glared at Tuoba Hong angrily. "Seeing that Gaochang was captured and the Liao State was destroyed." After a pause, Li Yuanhao said again. "Once the Western Liao is destroyed, we are negotiating with the Mongols, and it will be a troublesome negotiation."
"However, we ......" Tuoba Hong also wanted to persuade Li Yuanhao, but was directly interrupted by Li Yuanhao. Go and inform all the scattered armies you can inform and assemble here tomorrow. ”
Li Yuanhao had already decided that no matter how many troops he gathered, he would launch an attack on Mongolia.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind, no matter how many people he gathered, he would pursue Mongolia, drag Mongolia, and try his best to buy time for Zhao Shuo's arrival.
Time passed quickly, and after a night, the surrounding troops had come here one after another to assemble.
Li Yuanhao glanced at the assembled soldiers, there were only seven or eight thousand people, and it was really not enough for such a few people to pursue Mongolia.
But even if it wasn't enough to see, Li Yuanhao had to take them off, because he had no choice.
At this time, he suddenly felt that he seemed to understand the reason why Xiao Ta Buyan spread the news, that is, to stimulate the army of Western Xia and Zhao Shuo's army, so that they could quickly appear to rescue Gaochang.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanhao suddenly felt that there might still be a chance in this battle, and maybe Zhao Shuo would appear to help immediately.
Li Yuanhao seemed to see the dawn and set off with 8,000 men and horses.
