Chapter 83: The Situation

In mid-October, the news of the defeat of the Liao army has been spread to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Yelu Jing was furious, this time the conquest of the Wuku Department failed, the commander Chang Si died, Lin Yaxiao died, Langjun Yelu Xianshi was captured alive, so that Yelu Jing had a sense of frustration in his heart, the Liao army has lost hundreds of thousands of horses and horses several times, dozens of generals and commanders, a total of 14,200 head of baggage losses in the army, more than 200,000 cars, tents, and utensils, but the large and small chambers and Wuku departments have broken away from the Liao State, and there are several more enemies in the north of the Liao State, directly threatening Shangjing Road. △,

Soon after, the Frontier Defense Detail and Stability Division [Recruitment Division] and the Wugu Enemy Lie Commander Army Division were also severely damaged, and several of them were killed in the battle, and the left and right leather room armies were also severely damaged.

Shangjing City is located in the south, and Yelujing is a little afraid. The news of the defeat is terrifying, and several major opposition forces are also secretly surging and planning things. Those Khitan nobles who were dissatisfied with Yelujing's rule were ready to move, like cicadas lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to move at any time.

Gao Xun left behind in Beijing is a Han man, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan and the king of Zhao, since Ye Luxian was poisoned, Gao Xun suddenly couldn't find a better candidate to fight against Ye Lu Jing, he has been worried after learning that Ye Lu Xianshi was captured alive.

And Yelu Xianshi's father Yelu Bugu is the nephew of Taizu Yelu Abaoji, so Yelu Xianshi's capture is also a matter of great concern among the Khitan nobles, and the daughter who served Yelu Xian often went to Gaoxun's mansion during this time.

Yelu Wuzhi did not go hunting outside the city during these days, Yelu Wuzhi supported the legitimacy of Yelu Ruan's status back then, and after the death of Liao Taizong, he supported Yelu Ruan to ascend the throne as the emperor, but after Yelu Ruan ascended the throne, the struggle for power within the Khitan nobles did not stop, and Yelu Wuzhi has always maintained a high degree of vigilance against this.

Langjun Yelu Xianshi was captured alive This caused a sensation among the Khitan nobles, the leather room army was the elite of the Liao State, and Taizu took the camp as the palace, and selected more than 1,000 people from all the departments to be strong and healthy, and placed them as the heart of the heart...... Then the leather room army has existed since the time of Taizu, that is, the heart of the abdomen is also, and the Khitan main subordinates are called the big tent, and there are about 30,000 leather room soldiers, all of whom are fine armor and their minions. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, Taizong selected 300,000 elite armor in the world as the leather room army, which increased to 300,000...... It was such a force, and a part of the selection of this expedition was also killed and turned into ashes.

Jerod was also shocked, and he didn't know what caused his army to collapse......

Liao Emperor Yelu Jing's bowl migrated at four o'clock, most of the time did not stay in Shangjing, at this time he returned to Shangjing, just to deter the younger generation, afraid of the situation is unstable, because he knows that the Xilamulun River valley controlled by Shangjing Linhuang Mansion is the native of the Khitan people of Liao, and this is the foundation of the Khitan people.

Yelu Jing had already led the rebellion of several Khitan nobles a few years before he ascended the throne, so he would spare no effort to suppress the rebellion.

These days, Yelu Jing also ordered the privy envoy of the Northern Privy Council to dispatch the tribal soldiers, Han soldiers, and Bohai Navy of the capital to inspect the two cities in the north and south of Beijing, and ordered the palace guards and cavalry soldiers in the confidant to take the palace guards and cavalry armor in Liben Luduo to inspect the streets and check suspicious people, strengthen the inspection of the city gates of the north and south cities, and also train the palace tent army, the tribal army, the Jingzhou army and the subordinates outside the city.

Yelujing was also unable to quell the rebellion of other tribes for the time being, and stabilizing the situation in Shangjing was his primary concern. For this reason, he blocked the news of the defeat, but most of the Khitan nobles knew the news of the failure of the crusade against the Ukubu.

The Han and Bohai people who went out during the day in Linhuang Mansion in Beijing were inspected one by one, and there were a lot fewer people passing by on the streets, and the shops were also closed a lot, and most people chose not to go out, and there were only palace tent troops, tribal troops, Jingzhou troops and ** soldiers who passed by to inspect the streets. As for the night, I didn't dare to go out anymore, and the whole Shangjing fell into a dead end.

From the north of the city along the gate, across the Baiyin Geluo River, is the south of the city, at this moment in the south of the city in the Han living area, in an inn, the Shi family guard Murong Fushou arrived before the martial law in the south of the city.

When the Shi brothers received the letter from Liaodong, their eyes were full of consternation, and they also knew the identity of the young master behind Changchun Hall, and the "secret" of this letter also made them dare not act rashly and act recklessly, so they had to honestly do things for Changchun Hall.

Shi Yanxu advised: "Fushou, in the past few days, I have been under martial law in the capital, I am afraid that it is Nancheng, in this case, you bring a message to the old man, saying that we are all right, and we all understand that matter." ”

"Yes." Murong Fushou immediately left the city, set off to transform into a woodcutter, and walked out of the Yingchun Gate with firewood.

Zhao Kuangyin sent several secret agents from the Imperial Court Privy Council Staff Pavilion to investigate the situation in Shangjing and other regions......

At this moment, in the Tianxiong Temple in the north of the city, since the last time Han Derang's family disappeared in the temple, they were close to Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, Chongshou Temple, and Jianguo Monument, and Yelu Jing also sent additional people to inspect the periphery of the temple, but later did not find anything unusual.

On this night, several sneaky figures appeared in the backyard of Tianxiong Temple, which was a hall, and the monks also slept at night.

The back door of the side room was opened, and a young novice in Tsing Yi appeared behind him, looking at the cold sky and the surroundings, looking panicked, as if waiting for someone to appear.

At night, it was extremely cold in the north, and the little novice wore only a thin monk's robe, curled up in the corner, and his lips were frozen purple.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was the middle of the night, the moonlight was cold, the shadows of the trees were swaying, a black shadow appeared on the wall, the little novice raised his spirit, and suddenly the masked man appeared in front of him.

Xiao Shami whispered, "Black-clothed Commander, you're here. ”

"Kiyoe, I've kept you waiting." The black-clothed Tanhua took out a package and a letter from his cuffs, and said, "The capital has not been peaceful these days, and the Liao army's defense around Tianxiong Temple is also leaky, here is a package, it will be used when the time comes, and there is a letter, which will be burned immediately after reading it." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Qinghui said in a low voice, and then asked, "How should my subordinates contact the system to get you next time." ”

"Qinghui, after a while, after the rumors, I will let people contact you, if there is something, directly leave a 'plum blossom' mark in this corner, and I will appear after I see it." The black-clothed Tanhua turned around and left.

"Hmm." Qinghui had an extra burden and a letter in her hand, turned around and tiptoed back to rest.

Qinghui walked into the meditation room, lit the lamp, and looked at the secret letter with a candle, this secret letter came from Kaifeng, and he immediately found a brazier after reading it, lit it, and the fire illuminated the meditation room at once.

Qinghui then looked at the contents of the package, and after reading it, she placed the package under the wooden couch in the meditation room, in a hidden compartment.

After taking care of everything, Kiyoe pretended to be okay and went to sleep.

——

Liaodong, east of the middle and upper reaches of the Qingchuan River to the lower reaches of the Yalu River [the first name of the Tang Dynasty], has been actively expanding its territory northward since Wang Jian founded the Goryeo regime in 918. In the northern part of the Liao Kingdom, the Khitans annexed the Bohai Kingdom in 928 and moved the remnants of the Bohai Kingdom [Dongdan Nationals] to Liaodong, and Goryeo took the opportunity to lure and drive away these remnants and a small number of Jurchens, and the two countries also began to fight for the northern part of the peninsula.

During the reign of Yelu Deguang of Liao Taizong, the Liao people mainly focused on conquering the (later) Jin Dynasty and trying to conquer the Central Plains. After the death of Liao Taizong, the internal instability of the Liao State began, Liao Shizong was killed by the Khitan nobles, and the successor sleeping king Yelu Jing has been busy dealing with the civil strife in Liao, not only the civil strife continues, but also to deal with the (later) Zhou Northern Expedition, suppress the rebellion of all ethnic groups in various places, and temporarily unable to advance eastward, so he had to adopt a tolerant attitude towards the northern expansion of Goryeo, and was unwilling to use troops to Goryeo.

The expansion of the territory of the two countries into each other eventually turned into contradictions, disputes, and even conflicts.

In these years, the king of Goryeo took advantage of Yelujing's domestic war to openly break off diplomatic relations with the Liao State, exiled Khitan envoys on a large scale, and lured a large number of Bohai remnants. Wanfu Bridge Incident [In 942, the Khitan gave Goryeo 50 camels, but was rejected by Goryeo Taejo. After the Khitan envoys were banished to isolated islands and the camels they sent were starved to death, the kings of Goryeo adopted a hostile policy towards the Khitan and allied themselves with the Song dynasty.

After the Goryeo people learned of the establishment of the Song State, they sent tribute to the Song State and took it as a countermeasure, and united with the Song State to resist the eastward expansion of the Liao State. In 962, in October of the third year of Jianlong, Wang Jian's son, Wang Zhao of Goryeo, sent his Guangping attendant Li Xingyou, deputy envoy Li Lixi, and judge Li Bin to pay tribute, so that the Song State could contain the Liao army forces such as Yanyun Youzhou, and Goryeo would enter the Yalu River north to expand northward.

Yelujing has been quelling the chaos in the past few years after he ascended the throne, and although he was angry when he learned that the Goryeo people had entered the country, he had no choice, and the Khitan envoys he had sent were also exiled by the Goryeo.

The imperial capital of Goryeo [960 (the 11th year of Gwangjong) was renamed the imperial capital, and in 995 (the 14th year of Chengzong) was changed to open the city], as early as a few months ago, Wang Zhao received a rebellion from the northern part of the Liao State and the Wuku department, Wang Zhao naturally wanted to take advantage of such a good opportunity to expand northward, and later, Wang Zhao heard that the Liao army had been defeated and suffered heavy losses, so he wanted to take the opportunity to expand northward more and more.

The Goryeo people also at this time, suddenly launched an attack on the old land of the Bohai Sea of the Liao State, this time the Goryeo king Wang Zhao [Goryeo Gwangjong Wang Zhao (925-975), the word Rihua, the fourth monarch of Goryeo, the son of Goryeo Taejo Wang Jian], ordered the military class [Goryeo officials are divided into different classes, the Wen class is a civilian, the military class is a military position, the southern class is a palace officer, and the military class is an official in the army] generals and soldiers sent troops to the north to attack the old land of the Bohai Sea.

At this moment, on the bank of the Yalu River, Wang Zhao's army of 10,000 elite soldiers and horses crossed the Yalu River and went eastward, and the territory of Liaodong and the reign of Goguryeo, which the Goryeo people had always thought about, was bound to want to divide the entire Liaodong Peninsula and the old land of the Bohai Kingdom into their own national territory.

At the beginning of November, in the manor of Jianzhou outside Liaoyang City, there was a rapid marching army, since the Wuku Department destroyed the main force of the Liao army, Yang Zan led people to take a long detour, and there was already outside the Shizhonggui manor.

……

In Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo, the construction of the Great Song Sili Medical Institution outside the city has been completed, and the preparatory work has also come to an end, and the imperial court has also recruited a lot of medical children, medical officials who teach medical skills, Han Kuangsi, Han Baosheng, Meng Chang and the Xinglin masters who came from all over the world and the imperial doctors of the Hanlin Medical Academy were awarded the Mr. who taught medical skills, injecting a vitality into the Great Song Sili Medical Hospital, and this new emergence is constantly developing in a good direction step by step.

At the Bianshui Wharf in the south of the city, the ships from Liuzhou also unloaded the goods on the wharf, and the goods were transferred to several wharf warehouses, and the wharf was in full swing to move and unload the goods......

In Jinmingchi in the west of the city, Yang Xin is still training sailors to prepare for the Southern Expedition (Southern) Tang......

On this night, Zhao Kuangyin of Funing Hall suddenly asked Zhang Dejun, the first attendant of the inner line, how old is Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, now.

When he learned of Zhao Dezhao's birthday, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt that his sister-in-law Zhao Dezhao was now sixteen years old, he knew that Zhao Dezhao had a calm personality and was full of joy and anger.

Now that he has been crowned king, the next thing is ......
