Chapter 16 The Conspiracy of the Liao State

Zhuozhou, the city of Liao, is an important base for Liao's attack on the Song Dynasty, dozens of miles back in circumference, the city is high and thick, it is a strong city.

Zhuozhou is also an important transit point for border trade between Liao and Song Dynasty, many Liao merchants pass here, enter the Song Dynasty, come to Xiongzhou, sell various commodities, and then buy various commodities from Xiongzhou, transport them to Youzhou through Zhuozhou, and then transport them to all parts of Liao.

Therefore, Zhuozhou is an extremely important city in terms of military and economic trade. Every day, there are countless goods passing through here, and there are countless merchants who come and go.

The whole Zhuozhou is very prosperous, with people coming and going, bustling.

At the gate of the city, a group of Liao soldiers with weapons in their hands stood on both sides, looking at the merchants coming in and out.

Not far away, a man on a tall steed came galloping, came to the gate of the city, and pulled the reins of the horse, and the steed stopped. The man raised his head and looked up, only to see a plaque hanging on the city tower, with the word "Zhuozhou" written on it, the top was written in Khitan characters, and the bottom was written in Chinese characters.

"Zhuozhou, Zhuozhou!"

The man muttered, with a gloomy face: "Zhuozhou is the place of Taoyuan's three knots, and it is a famous place in China. However, I was desperate and had to take refuge in the Liao country, and I had to listen to the call of the Liao dog, hum! Although I am a thief, I don't want to be a lackey for the Liao country, but now, I have to do it. Convert, I will definitely come back! I must be slaughtered and converted! I must kill Wu Ji! Wu Ji, you killed so many of my brothers, I won't spare you! I want to avenge Ming'er! ”

This person is Zeng Danian, who is like a lost dog, and although he escaped from the city of conversion, he was chased and killed by the Song Dynasty, and he was in a panic for the whole day. In the end, he had to grit his teeth and decided to defect to Liao, willing to be a lackey for the Khitan.

Zeng Danian grabbed the reins of the horse, quickly stepped into Zhuozhou, and went straight to the Zhuozhou Guard's Mansion.

The Liao defender in Zhuozhou was called Ye Luming, a fierce general, and his place to deal with military affairs was on a high ground in the east of the city. The terrain is slightly higher and overlooks the whole city, making it a good place to garrison.

Yeluming's Shuai Mansion is a courtyard that covers a huge area, and there are two stone lions at the door, which are lifelike and extremely powerful. A team of soldiers stood on both sides, holding weapons in their hands, wearing armor, standing on the ground, as tall as javelins, murderous, worthy of the elite of the Liao State.

"Who are you? Hold it! ”

As soon as Zeng Danian arrived, the soldiers led by him strode forward and stopped Zeng Danian, and a pair of eyes were like eagles and falcons, looking at Zeng Danian.

"It turned out to be a Han dog!" The soldier recognized Zeng Danian's identity as a Han man, and couldn't help but crack the corners of his mouth, extremely disdainful: "Han dog, get out!" I don't care about you! ”

Although the Liao State has occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun for more than 100 years, it is extremely dependent on the Han people here, but the social status of the Han people is not high, and in the eyes of the Khitan people, the Han people are similar to dogs.

"Liao dog, you deceive people too much!" Zeng Danian secretly cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in the slightest, with a cordial smile on his face, as if he had seen his ancestor, his body was bowed at ninety degrees, and he was extremely respectful: "My lord, please give me a bow, I want to see General Yelu, I have something important to report!" ”

"Haha!"

The soldiers couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, with contempt and disdain on their faces, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Want to see the general? Just by you, a dog? ”

"What kind of thing is a dog? General Yelu is a high-ranking general, you can see it when you say it? ”

"I can't help myself! Get lost! ”

A group of soldiers looked at Zeng Danian and reprimanded, like a roaring dog, without giving Zeng Danian any face.

Zeng Danian rushed over, but he didn't expect it to be a hot face to the cold buttocks, and he was so depressed that he went crazy, if he hadn't been poor at the end of the road, he would have pulled out his sword and killed these Liao soldiers.

Now, under the low eaves, I had to bow my head, endure a breath of resentment, and smile more kindly: "I have a very important military situation to report to General Yelu." I have a way to take Xiongzhou. ”

"Really?" The eyes of the soldiers were focused on Zeng Danian, and their faces were surprised.

"Choke!" The soldier at the head even drew a scimitar, put it on Zeng Danian's neck, and scolded: "If you dare to lie a word, I will cut off your dog's head!" ”

Xiongzhou, also known as Waqiaoguan, is a city that Liao has dreamed of. Because Xiongzhou is the key city that blocks the Liao army from entering the Central Plains, if it falls into the hands of the Liao State, the gateway to the Central Plains will be opened, and the Liao Iron Cavalry will crisscross the Central Plains.

In order to seize Waqiao Pass, the Liao State tried all means and tried all their might, but without success.

Zeng Danian's words are tantamount to thunder on the ground, and it is impossible for all the soldiers not to be shocked.

"Really! Absolutely true! In order to see Yeluming, Zeng Danian had to grit his teeth and affirm loudly.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the soldier put away the scimitar and looked at Zeng Danian coldly: "Name and surname!" If you tell half a lie, I'll cut it down. ”

"My name is Zeng Danian, Zeng Danian!" Zeng Danian endured his resentment and replied in a respectful tone.

"Watch him!" The leading soldier waved his hand, and several soldiers pulled out their scimitars and surrounded Zeng Danian, eyeing each other.

The first soldier strode in to report it.

Yeluming, eight feet tall and stout, stood there like an iron tower on the ground. The face is full of beard, adding a bit of majesty, a pair of eyes like copper bells, the eyes are blazing, especially bright, like the sun above the nineteenth day, very dazzling.

Ye Luming stood in front of a huge map, constantly looking, a pair of tiger eyes sometimes flashing, sometimes frowning, pondering.

"Dashuai, are you hurting your brain for the New Year's coin again?" A very tall Liao general asked tentatively.

"Yelu Bodhisattva, you know. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been thinking about how to force the Song Emperor to increase the number of New Year's coins, and whenever the New Year's coins come, there will be some actions. Ye Luming's mouth opened wide, as if devouring people and bones, turned around, looked at the Liao general, and said: "I know a little bit about the emperor's thoughts, forcing Emperor Song to increase the number of coins is only one of them." However, as long as we do it, the emperor will be happy. The period of the year's coins is not far off, if we can fight a big victory at the border pass, it will definitely make the Song Emperor's heart tremble, and by then, we will have made a great achievement. ”

"The big man has a point!" Yelu Bodhisattva was very disdainful, and sneered: "Emperor Song is famous for his timidity, obviously Emperor Song's territory is more than ten times that of Da Liao, and the number of mouths is hundreds of millions, more than ten times that of Da Liao, but it has pressed Da Liao for hundreds of years. During the Chongxi period, Da Liao bluffed, and Emperor Song obediently doubled the year's coins. ”

The Song Dynasty was the first dynasty in Chinese history with a population of over 100 million, which was a huge achievement.

"What's more, Emperor Song was so timid that he agreed to change the gifted New Year's coin to a Na New Year's coin. Ye Luming laughed: "Although this is a good thing, Yu Da Liao has a hundred benefits and no harm, I blush for Emperor Song, Da Liao is just a bluff." This time, I don't want to bluff, but I want to fight a good fight. ”

"A bluff can scare Emperor Song's farts and urine, we will fight a battle with real swords and guns, and Emperor Song will not be scared?" Yelu Bodhisattva was extremely happy, and his voice was several degrees higher, some of which were shrill and piercing.

At this moment, the soldiers came in and reported: "Yu Dashuai, there is a Han dog named Zeng Danian who said that he wants to see Dashuai......"

"Zeng Danian?" Yeluming raised his eyebrows: "But the leader of the Flowing Wind Thieves?" ”

As the commander of the Liao army, Ye Luming was extremely familiar with the situation on the Song-Liao border, and was very familiar with Zeng Danian, the notorious thief.

"Handsome and wise, this is the person." The soldiers were busy reporting: "He said that he had a way to seize Xiongzhou." ”

"Capture Xiongzhou? Ha ha! Jerod looked up to heaven and laughed. Its sound was like thunder, shaking people's ear drums and buzzing.

"Don't be ashamed!" Yeluming laughed for a while, and then stopped: "This Han dog, think that the iron riders of Da Liao will only eat mutton and drink horses?" Xiongzhou, the most important city of the Song Emperor on the border, the city is high and thick, and there are elite soldiers, how can it be so easy to capture? ”

"Dashuai, I'm going to cut down this big talking dog!" Yelu Bodhisattva's face was cold, his right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

"No!" Ye Luming waved his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Although it is a big word, it is somewhat useful. Well, you go to make a dog cage, and then lock him in it, and insult him well, the more angry he is, the more useful it is to attack Song Realm. ”

"With a dog cage?" Yelu Bodhisattva was first surprised, and then if he realized, he pursed his lips and couldn't help snickering: "Dashuai, you are really powerful, you can think of this method." ”

"Pen and ink waiting, I'll write and report to Marshal Du!" Ye Luming was in a good mood and said with a smile: "It may not be necessary to win Xiongzhou, and it is not a problem to reap benefits." Zeng Danian, you came at a good time! There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them! ”
