Chapter 249 A generation of heroes finally ends, and the rise and fall are always due to personnel (I)

On the eve of the Buddha's dawn on March 24 in the fourth year of Tongguang, Yelu Abaoji, who was suffering from a serious illness due to the expedition to the Bohai Sea and could not afford to lie on the bed for many days, suddenly rose up, put on armor and carried out the three armies, and went out to fight the coalition army led by Li Congjing outside the imperial capital.

At that time, the Khitan raised many places at home and abroad, Lulong, Datong two armies to the grassland, for the first time in decades across the Great Wall to actively seek war, Daming'an dispatched the Bohai Navy to counterattack Changling, Fuyu two provinces, as well as the Jurchen and other domestic and foreign ministries, set off a large and small turmoil, the military strength of all parties echoed each other, quite a momentum. Less than 20 miles outside the imperial capital, hundreds of thousands of allied troops are eyeing each other, intending to destroy the city and destroy the country at any time. As a result, the empire of the founding party for ten years is facing unprecedented difficulties.

On the same day, the Khitan Emperor Yelu Abaoji appeared in front of the army, twenty years of kingship, majestic and heroic, pointed by the golden sword, the three armies thundered, and then shook the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers. The emperor rushed forward, took the lead, and all the soldiers of the country did not need to die, where the emperor's order was, that is, the place where the corpse was crossed.

After many days of fighting, tens of thousands of allied troops were forced to retreat again and again, so that the offensive was completely dispersed, and the spirit was completely lost, and the defense was retreated in a hurry. Li Congjing, the leader of the coalition army, the hundred battle army he set up, has rarely been defeated for many years, and is known as invincible and invincible, but he is also tired of dealing with this battle and has no achievements.

Later, Lai Yelu Abaoji was well arranged, the crown prince Yelu Bei, and the generalissimo of soldiers and horses Yelu Deguang rushed into battle, and under the fierce battle, by the time of the day, the coalition army began to be chaotic, and the camp and military formation were chaotic. At this point, the Khitan army has reversed the unfavorable trend, and there is hope of breaking the enemy, and 100,000 soldiers have succeeded in making meritorious contributions

The two armies in front were engaged in a fierce battle, and the flames of war reflected the night sky like a white sun, and there were large and small battles on the battle line that stretched for more than ten miles. The figures of the people, or the high-spirited forward, or the wolves rushed forward, and the sound of Jin Ge and the human voice were mixed with each other, so that they could be heard from a hundred and ten miles away.

Dressed in golden armor, Yelu Abaoji withdrew from the rear of the army and prepared to return to the city, and the slow pace of his horse made him appear calm. The important ministers and guards beside him were all excited at the moment, and they were fortunate to see their emperor again, turning the tide at a critical time, and almost single-handedly putting the behemoth of the Great Khitan Empire back on track.

Yelu Abaoji beckoned and motioned for Han Yanhui to come closer.

Han Yanhui's mood was not calm. Ten hours ago, he also offered advice to Shu Luping, suggesting that the Khitan negotiate peace with the Tang army in order to minimize the losses that the current war may bring to the Khitan, although it cannot be wrong, but after all, the estimate of the Khitan national situation is too pessimistic, which makes him sigh a little. However, he didn't expect that Yelu Abao would suddenly recover and be able to lead the army to fight, even at this time, he still felt lucky, and only thought that this was God's favor for the Khitan, and he even thought excitedly that between the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan, God chose the Khitan after all.

"I heard what Aiqing said to the queen." Yelu Abaoji's voice was not loud, but it fell on Han Yanhui's heart, but it made him uneasy for a while, as an important minister of the dynasty, such a mistake was a big mistake. Just when Han Yanhui was about to confess, Yelu Abaoji's next words made him fall into a fog, "These words entered my ears and my heart." Aiqing's analysis of the Khitan situation, although biased, is mostly desirable, and it is also a steady statement to seek the country. I thought about it and thought that the Khitan should be adopted as appropriate. ”

"Emperor" Han Yanhui doesn't know what Yelu Abaoji means at all, if it is to beat him, with Yelu Abaoji's temperament and the relationship between the two of them, there is no need to be so tactful, and if it is to appease him, Yelu Abaoji is even more unlikely to use the country's major politics as a weight.

Yelu Abaoji didn't give Han Yanhui time to think thoroughly, he continued to whisper: "Li Congjing is a character, not to be underestimated, in terms of the worst plan, even if the Tang army is defeated in this battle, he can ask Lu Longjun to protect itself from too much loss, and the Khitan after this battle, the vitality is greatly damaged, and in the future, it will calm down the turmoil in various places, stabilize the two mansions of Fuyu and Changling, and deal with the counteroffensive in the Bohai Sea, it will take time and energy, and Li Congjing cannot be asked to attack and disturb the situation again." In any case, the signing of peace negotiations after the war is the proper meaning of the topic, and this is one of them."

"However, the rebellion of the Khitan tribes is deliberately indulged by the emperor, and the purpose of this illusion is to lead Li Congjing and the Tatar Department to the West Tower to annihilate them in one fell swoop, why is the Khitan vitality greatly damaged?" Perhaps because of surprise and puzzlement, Han Yanhui came out, but when this sentence was spoken, he seemed to realize something, and his heart suddenly became cold.

"The Khitan Rebellion is half fake, half is true, otherwise how could I give the enemy Chen Bing a chance in the West Tower? I used it in the enemy's army, so that it would be difficult tonight, and it was also a helpless move. In the vast prairie, there are more than 100 tribes of all sizes, how can there be no prodigal ambitions, how can they not be moved by that article? Yelu Abaoji just shook his head lightly this time, this thing that should have made him angry, but at this time, he couldn't make his voice raise half a minute.

The way back to the city was only a few miles, but the lights were not as brilliant as the fierce battle, and Yelu Abaoji turned his back to Han Yanhui, his expression and face were all lost in the night.

"Aiqing just listens for the time being." Yelu Abaoji's voice became softer, and he said something that he had never said to Han Yanhui before, "Li Congjing has been fighting with the Khitan since he beat the town of Lulong, but it is difficult for ordinary people to deal with it. After this battle, Li Congjing should be promoted on duty and leave Lu Long. If not, the next step is to use Aiqing to use means to bribe the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty and transfer them away. ”

After a pause, Yelu Abaoji continued: "Li Yazi has become more and more arrogant and lascivious in recent years since he defeated Liang, although the Tang Dynasty has the cause of destroying Shu, it seems to be very prosperous, and it has the ability to dominate the world, but it is not. If the monarch is deaf, his kingdom will fall. This is also an opportunity for my Khitan to take advantage of. In the next few years, the Khitan needed to befriend the Tang Dynasty, and even flatter Li Yazi to help his conceit, and the decline of the Tang Dynasty was not far away. This is the second one. ”

Hearing this, Han Yanhui nodded secretly, very agreeable, but then he was also puzzled, these are the core programs of the Khitan national politics in the future, and now Yelu Abaoji has explained to him, what is the purpose?

Yelu Abaoji didn't have time to take into account what Han Yanhui was thinking, his voice began to reveal a sense of exhaustion, and he continued to say: "Peace with the Tang Dynasty prompted Li Congjing to transfer Lu Long, and with these two, there is the third point: After this battle, the Khitan needs to repair the national government internally, stabilize the rule, strengthen the army, and strengthen the army with the outside towns, and seek a temporary truce with the Bohai Sea. In such a few years, the Khitan can not only recover its vitality, but also increase its national strength. When the time is ripe, the Central Plains will be handed over to the south, and the Bohai Sea and Jurchen will be destroyed in the east. Once the Central Plains are in turmoil, they will take the opportunity to wave their troops to the south and drink the Yellow River, which may not fail to achieve the hegemony of the ages! ”

"These three strategies are the foundation of the Khitan country, and Aiqing is the humerus of me, and it is also the pillar of the Khitan, so you should keep it in mind." Yelu Abaoji finally concluded.

"Your Majesty!" Han Yanhui rolled off the saddle and bowed down in front of Yelu Abaoji's horse, and in an instant, he sobbed and flowed, "The emperor's dragon is healthy and healthy, and it will last for ten thousand years, the Khitan is proud of the world because of the emperor, and the emperor must not have it!" ”

Yelu Abaoji looked at this imperial master condescendingly, and said coldly: "Get up!" ”

The cold voice shocked Han Yanhui's heart, he didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly turned over and got on the horse.

"Right now, the most important thing for the Khitan is to win this battle." Everyone entered the city gate, but Yelu Abaoji stopped his horse, he didn't have much strength, otherwise it would be impossible to say these words to Han Yanhui halfway, he originally wanted to hold on to the palace, but now it seems that it will not be. He looked at Han Yanhui, looking at the Han official he relied on the most, and his eyes flashed with the trust that the monarch and ministers had come from for many years, "But what is more important than the victory in this battle is to establish a new monarch for the Khitan!" Aiqing, go and call the queen, the crown prince, and the generalissimo to come. ”

"Command!" Han Yanhui agreed with a sad voice and left in tears.

With the support of the guards, Yelu Abaoji walked to the city wall of the imperial capital and went straight up to the city tower along the road. This is a laborious matter, and it is even more difficult for Yelu Abaoji, who has devoted all his efforts and energy to this war and this country. However, Yelu Abaoji would not allow himself to die in the cramped corner tower next to the city gate.

Yelu Abaoji knew that his time had come. He knew it clearly, and he knew it on the way to the class. If it weren't for the war, his worries would be too strong, and he wouldn't have been able to hold out to the West Building. When I opened my eyes before dawn today, I sat up in a dying dream. He also knows that today's demeanor is a return to the light, and it is his last breath.

Ordinary people can only say the last words in this breath, but he is the founding emperor of the Khitan Empire, and he has been fighting all his life, even if it is this last breath, he has to hang hard, and he has to use it on the battlefield.

Climbing to the top of the tower, Yelu Abaoji was helped to the front of the railing, he got rid of the support of the guards, stood up straight with all his strength, and waved his hand to let the guards retreat. In the brilliant lights of the city tower, the Khitan Emperor in golden armor is still tall.

Yelu Abaoji looked out of the city, his old and thick eyes were both unwilling and calm, and the fierce battle was raging there, and the two armies were fighting to the death.

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Yelu Abaoji's mouth. On this battlefield, even if he is about to die, he uses his last strength to pinch the battlefield situation in his hands, so as to influence the victory.

Jasper City, the bow and the moon, the stars are like the sea, and the heavens and the earth are like songs.

Due to tribal strife, Yelu Abaoji fled with his father when he was a teenager and suffered from displacement. When he became an adult, he fought for the tribe in the east and west, won many battles, and then took power.

Twenty years ago, Abaoji became the chief of the eight Khitan tribes. Because he did not want to lose power, he changed the Khitan leader rotation system to a hereditary system with iron and blood.

Ten years ago, the Khitan State was established.

Today, the Khitan is the only overlord of the Mobei grassland.

In this life, Jin Ge Iron Horse, conspiracy and calculation, victory on the battlefield, struggle for power and profit, and when the curtain finally ended, he was the only emperor of the Mobei grassland.

In this empire he established, in the face of a lifetime of endless wars, he forgot the hardships and hardships, humiliation and glory, indifferent to the painstaking efforts, joys and sorrows, away from the unfinished dreams, unsettled unwillingness.

He dedicated his life, including his last breath, to the empire he had built with his own hands.

At this moment, the breeze came slowly, and he closed his eyes.

Khitan Emperor Yelu Abaoji, funeral!
