"Damn it! Damn it! ”
Yelu Hongji finally broke out of the encirclement of the Song army surrounded by a group of leather room troops, but not only did he not feel joy, but his mood was extremely heavy, and he was more uncomfortable than death!
According to his surname, he would rather die than die, and he did not lack the determination and courage to fight to the death with the Song army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, now he has fled, and only three or two thousand remnants of the defeated army escaped with him, which makes him extremely depressed, if it weren't for the wrong time, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood again.
"I escaped! I actually left the warriors of Daliao and fled to the people! It's a disgrace, a great disgrace! Yelu Hongji was extremely unwilling, and raised his head to the sky with a roar, which resounded through the heavens and the earth: "Since Taizu founded the Great Liao, which emperor of the Great Liao has left the warriors of the Great Liao to flee for his life alone?" ”
The Liao State was founded on the occasion of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, at that time, China was in turmoil, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the strength was greatly damaged, and there was no time to take care of anything else. The Khitans rose under the leadership of Yelu Abaoji and established the Liao State, not only did not receive a challenge from the Central Plains, but entered the Central Plains and gained a lot of benefits.
Naturally, the Liao State was smooth sailing and high-spirited, and there was no emperor like Yelu Hongji, who abandoned the army and fled for his life alone. Yelu Hongji's surname is resolute, he has unyielding confidence, has the courage to fight to the death, and he ended up like this, which will be ridiculed by future generations, not to mention depressed, he even has the heart to die.
If death could recover the loss, Yelu Hongji would not hesitate to die for no other reason than because he was the most failed emperor in the history of the Liao State. The emperors of the Liao State in the past dynasties have established good martial arts, not to mention Taizu Yelu Abaoji, he unified the Khitans together, making the rise of the Liao State possible.
Liao Taizong led his troops into the Central Plains, proclaimed himself emperor in Bianjing, established the Liao State, and destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty.
The Liao Shengzong had an alliance with the Yuanyuan and forced the Song Dynasty to sign an unequal treaty, and from then on, the Song Dynasty had to lose New Year's coins to the Liao army, so that the Liao State gained a lot of wealth.
And he Yelu Hongji is even more ambitious, to enter the Central Plains, to destroy the Song Dynasty, and to be the emperor of the Central Plains. To this end, he made unremitting efforts, but in the end he suffered a series of defeats, and the Liao State was defeated again and again, and the defeat was a mess, and the loss of troops was hundreds of thousands in a few years.
And the current battle made Yelu Hongji extremely depressed and wanted to die. He was violent, and led the army to Xue Shame. Not to mention the shame, it is still shame to be ashamed, and the army of more than 100,000 people was lost all at once. Of the hundreds of thousands of troops who came with him, there were only so few people in front of him, and they were all wounded, and everyone was afraid.
"There is no emperor like me in Daliao, there is none! I can't escape, I want to go back! As soon as Yeluhonki took the reins of his horse and stopped, he was about to beat his horse back.
Panicked, Han Ju hurriedly stopped him and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not go back!" ”
"Your Majesty, you can't go back!" Xiao Lu, the surviving ministers, has long been frightened birds, how can they let Yelu Hongji go back, and they are busy surrounding Yelu Hongji.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Yelu Hongji roared like thunder and roared: "I am the shame of Da Liao, I want to wash away the shame!" Get out of the way! Whoever doesn't let me, I will kill him! ”
"Your Majesty, please listen to the minister." Han Ju knew Yelu Hongji and knew that with his surname, maybe he would rush back recklessly: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, no matter how urgent it is, you have to find a way to save the situation." Your Majesty, with your wisdom and martial arts, you will definitely know that if the Southern Dynasty wins this battle, the Southern Dynasty will definitely send troops to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. ”
"Wise and powerful?" When Yelu Hongji heard this word again, he felt that his face was hot, and he raised his right hand and slapped himself heavily.
Han Ju's words reminded the ministers, and they were busy lobbying: "Your Majesty, you must know that the land of Yanyun is extremely important to Da Liao!" If there is no land of Yanyun, the national strength of Da Liao will plummet, and without the silk, tea, wine, and porcelain of the Han people, Da Liao's words will be extremely difficult! ”
The minister's words were heartbreaking and poignant, but they caused Yelu Hongji's shocking roar: "You know how to eat, eat, you are a pig!" Da Liao has even been reduced to the point of having a pig like you! ”
This minister told the truth, which caused many people to nod secretly, but it was not the right time, and it actually made Yelu Hongji roar, and he was so frightened that he quickly shut up.
"Your Majesty, there are a large number of Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun, they can farm, they can work. With the land of Yanyun, Daliao can have grain, grass, taxes, and sophisticated weapons and armor. Xiao Lu learned a lesson and said all about military affairs.
Sure enough, Yelu Hongji's face looked much better.
"The most important thing is that the location of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is extremely important." Han Ju took this matter to a deeper level and said, "Whoever gets the land of Yanyun will be able to attack the enemy wantonly. For more than 100 years, the land of Yanyun was in the hands of the Great Liao, so that the Great Liao was able to suppress the Southern Dynasty and make the Southern Dynasty unstable. If the Southern Dynasty recovers the land of Yanyun, it will be Da Liao who will not be at peace. ”
Yelu Hongji raised his eyebrows, groaned, and said, "Go on." ”
Han Ju responded and said, "The land of Yanyun has always been an important place for the Han people to control Liaodong, the desert, the land west of the river, and the Western Regions!" If there were no Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, it would be impossible for Han Wu to defeat the Xiongnu, it would be impossible to recover the land of Liaodong, and it would be impossible to pass through the Western Regions. If there was no land of Yanyun, it would be impossible for Tang Taizong to destroy the Turks, and it would be impossible for the Tang army to fight with Dashi in the Western Regions for hundreds of years. ”
He is very knowledgeable, and what he said is all the major events in Chinese history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, Tang Taizong destroyed the Turks, the Han Dynasty passed through the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire fought in the Western Regions for hundreds of years, these extremely important historical events are closely related to the land of Yanyun. It can be said that if there was no land of Yanyun, there would be no such major historical events.
Why?
The history of the Song Dynasty is the best proof of this!
Because the land of Yanyun is an important strategic base, whether it is to recover Liaodong, or to march into the desert, or to recover the Western Regions, it is necessary to start from the land of Yanyun, a large number of troops must be assembled here, and a large number of military materials need to be stored here.
Like the "Mobei Decisive Battle" launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Han troops were assembled in the land of Yanyun, and then under the leadership of Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, they attacked the desert on a large scale, crossed the desperate domain, and invaded the heart of the Xiongnu.
Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and destroyed the Eastern Turks, and hundreds of thousands of Tang troops were assembled in the land of Yanyun, and then under the mobilization of Li Jing, they went straight to the Turks. Li Jing even led 3,000 warriors to attack the lair of Jieli Khan.
These histories, one by one, one by one, are so exciting, passed down through the ages, and have made countless future generations excited! However, without the base of Yanyun Land, it would not be possible.
This is only an important role in attacking the desert, that is, to the north. In addition to this, the land of Yanyun also has a huge role in two directions, east and west. To the east, you can attack Liaodong, Tang Taizong went east to Goryeo, and a large number of Tang troops were assembled in Youzhou, and then rushed to Liaodong.
To the west, you can attack the Hexi Corridor, and Huo Quai's attack on the Hexi Corridor was from here. He sent troops twice, leading a total of 30,000 elite cavalry, and defeated the 240,000 Hun troops entrenched in the Hexi Corridor, and captured the King of Hutu to sacrifice Tianjin.
If the Song Dynasty recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, it would be possible to attack the Western Xia from the east, and no longer have to be trapped in complex terrain and no longer bothered by Hengshan.
The Song Dynasty fought with the Western Xia for decades without destroying the Western Xia, and always failed, because it suffered a great loss from attacking the Western Xia from Shaanzhou. If it could be attacked from the east, the reliance of the Western Xia would have no effect, and the elite and courage of the Western soldiers, the Song Dynasty would not have suffered so many defeats, and the Western Xia would have been solved long ago.
said a thousand, said 10,000, because the land of Yanyun was not in the hands of the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty had no way to take Xixia. Losing this base, the Song Dynasty was unable to recover Liaodong and march into the desert, but instead pressed and beat the aliens, and finally died at the hands of the aliens.
The land of Yanyun is like the hilt of a sword, whoever masters the hilt of the sword can attack and kill the enemy!
Han Ju said the important surname of the land of Yanyun, once the Liao State lost the land of Yanyun, the impact on the Liao State would be a disaster. Not only did the strength of the Liao State drop sharply and plummet, but it also exposed the Liao State to the blow of the Song Dynasty, and it was very likely that the country would be destroyed.
You must know that during the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian sent a brigade of partial divisions and almost let the Khitans perish, at that time, the Khitans did not have the land of Yanyun, and it was very difficult for them to live, where was the opponent of the Tang army, they could not be defeated.
If the land of Yanyun is lost, the Khitans will return to the old ways, and in the face of well-equipped enemies, they can only be slaughtered.
"Keeping the land of Yanyun is the top priority of Da Liao!" Although Yelu Hongji was angry, he didn't get dizzy, and asked Han Ju with a frown: "Han Ju, you say, how do you keep the land of Yanyun?" ”
It's all like this, don't talk about Han Ju, even if he resurrects his ancestor Han Derang, there is no way to keep the land of Yanyun.
The defeat of the Liao State, the elite was lost, and there was no garrison in the land of Yanyun, not to mention that in the face of the Song army that was about to swarm in, the resistance of the people of Yanyun was enough for them to bear.
For more than 100 years, the Liao State has been able to be powerful and oppress the people in the land of Yanyun, and that is because the Liao State has a heavy army here. Now, the army of the Liao State is gone, and there are not many troops in the entire Liao State, how can there be an army stationed in the land of Yanyun? It is reasonable for the people of Yanyun to resist.
You must know that during Zhou Shizong's Northern Expedition, the soldiers collected the three levels without bloodshed, and scared the Liao State to withdraw from Youzhou, on what basis?
With not only the prestige of Zhou Shizong, but also the unyielding and resistance of the people of Yanyun. At that time, the people of Yanyun responded in groups, preparing to welcome Zhou Shizong, at that time, the wind was surging, how many people joined the ranks?
It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Zhou Shizong died of illness at the critical moment when he was about to succeed, which made the Liao State dangerously keep the land of Yanyun.
Now, the Liao State has been defeated miserably, and the army has been killed and wounded, even if Yelu Abao is underground, it is helpless, who can do it?
"Wu Ji! It's Wu Ji! While Yelu Hongji was distressed, a minister screamed in terror.
I saw a group of Song troops galloping towards me, shouting: "Capture Yelu Hongji alive!" ”
