Chapter Seventy-Six: The Strange Phenomenon in Bianjing
At the thought of the wonderful prospect of breaking into the Central Plains, the mountains of wealth, the countless beauties of the Southern Dynasties, and the endless pastures, Yelu Hongji couldn't help but rejoice. Today's Central Plains, compared to the dilapidated appearance of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, is so rich that if he enters the Central Plains, the Liao State will be several orders of magnitude rich and strong, and it will not be a problem to overwhelm the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Not to mention, the strength of the Liao State today is no longer comparable to that of the Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang period. During the Yelu Deguang period, although Liao Taizong entered the Central Plains, he proclaimed himself emperor in Bianjing and established the Liao State. However, at that time, the Liao State was still very weak, the population was not large, the sixteen states of Yanyun had just arrived, and they had not yet played their role, whether it was in terms of equipment or scientific and technological level, it was far worse than the Central Plains, although the Central Plains at that time was in civil strife, and it was a period of great division of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
It is precisely because of this that Yelude's idea of enslaving the Central Plains and turning the Central Plains into the territory of the Liao State went bankrupt and drove the people of the Central Plains out of the Central Plains.
At present, the strength of the Liao State is far greater than that of the Yelu Deguang period, if he enters the Central Plains again, he can completely stop leaving, turn the Central Plains into the land of the Liao State, and then cross the Yangtze River and unify China.
If his ambition is realized, the Khitan will be the first nomadic people to unify China, and he will be a generation of heroes, a wonderful prospect that no words can describe.
I was looking forward to it, and the damn defeat was coming. Yiyelu Hongji's wonderful mood at this time, he would never believe that it was true, and he was about to scold as soon as he opened his mouth, but Marshal Xiao Lu was the first to scold: "You pig, you dare to say such ridiculous news!" Pull it out, cut it! Quick, chop! ”
According to their thoughts, Yelu Mingdu invaded the city of Xiongzhou, which was the closest Liao had come to taking Xiongzhou in hundreds of years, and if this was lost, unless the sun came out from the west.
This is absolutely ridiculous news! Ridiculous!
"Your Majesty, the Southern Dynasty recovered Xiongzhou, Yeluming was captured alive by the Southern Dynasty, and the 50,000 Great Liao warriors were wiped out!" When another messenger arrived, he raised his voice and roared from afar.
I have to shout, there are endless benefits if you take Xiongzhou, if you can't take Xiongzhou, everything is in vain, they are in a hurry.
"Another ridiculous thing! Chopped! Xiao Lu's face sank and he shouted again.
"Your Majesty, the Southern Dynasty recovered Xiongzhou, Yeluming was captured alive by the Southern Dynasty, and the 50,000 Great Liao warriors were wiped out!" The third piece of news came.
Three identical messages in a row, it's different. Although Yelu Hongji was incredulous and thought it was ridiculous, they didn't dare to disbelieve it anymore, and some of them believed, you look at me, I look at you, and see the unbelief in each other's eyes, and a little bit of belief.
Just when they were hesitating and not knowing whether to believe or not, one after another defeats were reported, and more than a dozen groups of people came in a row, saying the same news of defeat, all of them were full of words and determined to be abnormal.
In this case, who would dare not believe it?
"Really defeated?"
"Jeremiah was captured alive?"
"Xiongzhou has gained and lost?"
"How did the Nanren do this?"
Although it was believed that the attack on Xiongzhou was bankrupt, countless question marks appeared in the minds of the ministers, and they could not understand how the Song Dynasty did it.
You must know that the Song army was cowardly and wanted to flee when he saw the Liao army. The Liao army invaded the city of Xiongzhou, what a shocking thing, not to mention the Song army, even if it was replaced by the Liao army, it may not be able to withstand it, to make them believe that this was done by the Song Dynasty, it is really difficult, very difficult!
"Say! How did the Nanren do it? At last he came to his senses, and his joy vanished in an instant, and turned into endless anger, his face turned blue, and his eyes were full of fire, as if someone had dug up his ancestral grave.
The opportunity that I have been waiting for for a hundred years has slipped through my fingers like this, who can not be angry? That is a hundred years, the opportunity that the emperor Yanjing of the Liao Kingdom has been waiting for!
Finally, a bold spying replied boldly: "Originally, General Yeluming invaded the city, constantly killing and wounding the Xiongzhou army and the people of Xiongzhou, and capturing more and more Xiongzhou cities. Sancheng Xiongzhou City, two percent has already fallen into the hands of Da Liao, and only one percent is still in the hands of Zhou Wei. Although Zhou Wei is good at fighting, he also lacks the skills to return to heaven, and defeat is only a matter of time. ”
"Nonsense, I asked you how you failed, not to say such a trivial thing." Yelu Hongji listened for a long time, but he didn't think of the answer he wanted most, he was so angry that he roared like thunder, and the roof buzzed.
"Your Majesty, at this critical juncture, the Returning Army has come to reinforce you." When the spy heard this, it was like a thunderbolt roaring in his ears, and he broke out in a cold sweat, so he had to suppress his fright, and said cautiously: "Under the front and back attacks, General Yeluming will fail, and the 50,000 brothers will be gone." ”
"Lies! Utter lies! ”
"How old is conversion? The Song army defending the city was no more than 500 people. A mere 500 timid Song troops can defeat tens of thousands of warriors in Daliao? The warriors of Da Liao are standing there, let them cut, and they will also tire them to death! ”
"Do you think the warriors of Da Liao are all made of mud? Let the Song army slash and kill? ”
"A few hundred people can defeat tens of thousands of warriors of Da Liao, this is the most ridiculous lie!"
The ministers shouted angrily, all of them did not believe it, if it were not for the presence of Yelu Hongji, they would definitely have killed this spy on the spot.
This is the funniest joke they have heard in their lives, a few hundred converts can defeat tens of thousands of Liao troops, and they will not believe it if they are killed. They would rather believe that the sun comes out of the west than such nonsense.
"Shut up!" Yelu Hongji was impatient to hear this, and he sighed, and the noise of the ministers stopped abruptly as if they were cut with scissors.
"The converts are not five hundred, but three thousand." This spy didn't give the ministers a chance to scold, and said to himself: "The Converting Army has a weapon that can make a thunderous sound, although there are only 3,000 people, tens of thousands of Daliao warriors can't resist it. ”
"Nonsense again, how can there be such a sharp weapon in the world?" The ministers rebuked again.
"Haha!"
Just when the ministers were angry and angry and questioned, Yelu Hongji burst out into a shocking laugh: "Zhao Ji, you are in front!" But I'm no worse than you! It won't be long before I have a weapon to break through Xiongzhou! ”
When the Liao army suffered the heaviest losses, Yelu Hongji not only did not get angry, but laughed so loudly that if the ministers had not heard it with their own ears, seen it with their own eyes, and killed them, they would not have believed it to be true.
"You're all frogs at the bottom of the well! There are such sharp weapons in the world! Yelu Hongji looked at the ministers, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Zhao Ji thought that he could keep the secret, but he didn't know that I had already stolen this secret. ”
"Your Majesty, how to deal with the attack on the Central Plains?" Xiao Lu looked at Yelu Hongji, a little incredulous, but he had to believe that what he said was true.
"Well, I will make a decision in a few days, so you should be ready." Yelu Hongji flicked the sleeves of his robe, walked away quickly, and left behind the ministers, looking at each other.
xxxxxxxxxx Bianjing, heavy snow is falling, a group of silver, the entire Bianjing City has turned into a world of ice and snow.
Although the weather is very cold, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the people of Bianjing, and the street is full of people coming and going, bustling, shoulder to shoulder, and heel bumping heels.
The cries of the vendors are endless, and they converge into a lively song of prosperity.
Chenqiaomen, located in the north of Bianjing, is the main passage into Bianjing from the north. Many city gate troops stood in line, guarding the city gates, allowing pedestrians to enter and exit. Although the weather is cold, there are no fewer pedestrians entering Bianjing, who still come and go, people and vehicles hug each other.
"Phew!"
The city gate army inhaled cold air from time to time, secretly scolding, really fucking cold.
"Xiongzhou victory!" Suddenly, a hoarse roar came.
This roar contained endless joy and was very infectious, but the people who came in and out listened to it, but they didn't take it seriously, just grinned.
Some people even sneered: "Xiongzhou's victory? It's really good to blow! After hundreds of years of fighting, when did the Great Song Dynasty have a great victory? I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue! ”
It can't be blamed that the people of Bianjing are numb, it's really that the Song Dynasty didn't win many battles, which made them too disappointed. Who has heard of the victory for hundreds of years?
"Xiongzhou victory! Annihilated 50,000 to attack Liao dogs! Capture Liao General Yeluming alive! Xiongzhou victory! Annihilated 50,000 to attack Liao dogs! Capture Liao General Yeluming alive! ”
I saw a group of Song troops galloping over, shouting at the top of their throats, and they were very happy.
The ice and snow on the body of this team of Song Jun are covered with a thick layer of ice crystals, and at first glance, they look like icemen. But they raised their throats and roared very happily, although their voices were hoarse, but they did not hinder their roaring in the slightest.
"The thieves are lying about the military situation again!"
"50,000 Liao dogs have been wiped out? What nonsense. Kill the people and pretend to be a war merit! ”
"I think Liaogou is a pig, let you cut and kill?"
"If you lie about your military exploits, you have to think about it and think about it. Reporting that he killed 35,000 enemies is quite reliable, saying that he killed 50,000 enemies, and in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, who killed 50,000 enemies? Taizu didn't, Taizong didn't, Yang Wudi didn't, Pan Mei didn't, Cao Bin didn't, Yang Yanzhao didn't. ”
"The thief is so ruthless with the army, killing 50,000 people at a time and risking merit, it's really unreasonable!"
The people saw it in their eyes and disdained it, and many people began to scold.
Even if the battle of Gaoliang River, which made the Song Dynasty very proud, was only to kill thousands of enemies, and the annihilation of 50,000 Liao troops at one time had never happened in the history of the Song Dynasty. Don't say 50,000, there is no case of killing 20,000 or 30,000 Liao troops at a time, to make the people of Bianjing believe that this is true, it is not difficult, it is difficult, it is difficult!
It's not less difficult than trying to convince them that the sun is coming out of the west.
Habit becomes nature! If it is said that the Song army suffered a big defeat and lost 50,000 at a time, the people of Bianjing would definitely believe it. That is to say, if the loss of troops is 100,000, the people of Bianjing will still believe it.
This kind of thing as annihilating 50,000 enemies at a time has never happened in the Song Dynasty, and the people of Bianjing do not have this habit, so they will never believe it.
"Stop these thieves and join the army, and ask them to give a good account of the dirty things of killing the people and risking their merits."
"Stop the thieves and the army!"
"Stop the thieves from matching the army, you can't let them take the risk!"
The people of Bianjing were filled with righteous indignation, and rushed up like a tide, stopping a group of Song troops who rushed to Xingchong.
