Youzhou, Nanjing, Liao!
While the crown prince Yelu Jun and the little princess Yelu Tri were having dinner, Yelu Yixin came in a hurry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Uncle Wang, is there anything urgent?" Yelu Jun saw Yelu Yixin walking in a hurry, and guessed that there might be something important, otherwise he wouldn't even give himself a little time to eat.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Yelu Yixin nodded and said, "There's news from Gyeongju!" ”
Ye Lujun was very sensitive when he heard the word "Gyeongju", and immediately came to his senses, and asked with a smile: "Has the battle in Dashun City come to an end?" Who won? ”
Yelu Yixin was about to answer, but was suddenly interrupted by Yelu Jun: "Uncle Wang, don't say it yet, let me guess...... It's Song Jun, it's Lin Zhao who won, right? ”
"It was the Song Army that won, and Lin Zhao played a big role in it!" Yelu Yixin was a little surprised and a little curious, and said with a smile: "How can Your Highness be sure that Lin Zhao won?" ”
"Guess it, it's just a feeling!" Yelujun didn't say anything, he was completely honest. From the very beginning, he did have such a very special feeling in his heart. Maybe in the eyes of others, Lin Zhao was just an ordinary courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, but after a short contact with Liaodong back then, Yelujun always felt that Lin Zhao was very special, but he couldn't say it carefully, so he had an inexplicable expectation for him.
Over there, Yelutri also smiled: "Lin Zhao is fine, is he?" I just knew that the eldest brother would definitely be fine......" The little princess was also full of confidence, and gave Lin Zhao a very special title of respect. She is also concerned about Lin Zhao's safety, and she often takes the initiative to ask these days, and now she knows that the big brother who escaped on horseback with her in her arms is safe and sound. The little princess is relieved. I'm in a good mood.
See this situation. Yelu Yixin couldn't help but be a little curious, what was so special about this Lin Zhao? It made the evaluation and expectations of the prince and princess of Liao Kingdom so high. It seems that he has neglected this person a little, and he should pay more attention to it in the future, and suddenly, Yelu Yixin was also full of curiosity about Lin Zhao.
Ye Lujun said with a smile: "Although Lin Zhao is young, he is full of wisdom and ability, and he is definitely underestimated. Presumably, Liang Yi died from carelessness and underestimation of the enemy. Uncle Wang, let's talk about it, what's going on over there? The young prince was very curious about this. Even if you already know the result, even if you have made a thousand or ten thousand assumptions, what you want to know most is the specific situation.
Yelu Yixin said: "The leading figure in this battle of the Song Dynasty is Wang Shao, the latest military and civilian official promoted by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and he has some skills. Prior to this, the Song Dynasty cleaned up Li Fugui, the governor of Gyeongju, and stabilized the situation in Gyeongju, which was Wang Shao's credit. This person's wrist can be seen.
This time, he deliberately sent Lin Zhao to Dashun City to attract Liang Yiburi, who had a holiday with him, to attack. After that, he deliberately did not rescue to confuse Liang Yi to bury. In the end, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Western Xia army, he personally led the army to take a small road to detour behind the Western Xia and raid the camp. ”
"What? Liang Yibury was captured? Yelujun was also shocked when he heard the news, is Lin Zhao so powerful? At the same time, he also realized that the capture of the Western Xia Prime Minister could bring a series of turmoil, not to mention that Yelu Jun was only a teenager, perhaps because he was born in the royal family, he was gifted and intelligent, and he was exposed to it since he was a child.
Yelu Yixin nodded and said, "Yes, Liang Yibu failed to escape in time after the defeat, and was captured by Lin Zhao himself. ”
It's Lin Zhao again, big brother is so powerful! The little princess Yerutri heard it in her ears, and couldn't help but clap her hands, the eldest brother performed so well, the eldest brother is amazing. The little princess was extremely excited and intoxicated, and a very special feeling gradually sprouted in her young heart. Not only that, Yerutri also thought that after going back, he should tell his mother that there are good things that must be shared.
"So what's the situation right now?" When it comes to state affairs, Yelujun immediately gets serious, especially such shocking news, which must be taken seriously. He doesn't care about the minutiae, the inconsequential things. He cares more about the overall situation, and more about the entire situation in the northwest, what was the situation after the Western Xia prime minister was captured? What is the relationship between Song and Xia? Where does the future hold? What impact does it have on Liao? How should Liao deal with itself at this time? Or what appropriate and necessary measures should be taken?
In an instant, all the questions came to mind, and Yelujun's brain spun rapidly, thinking about the stakes and the corresponding countermeasures.
Yelu Yixin said: "The battle of Song and Xia was temporarily due to the armistice and confrontation, although the Song Dynasty won a complete victory in Dashun City. However, when Fuzhou Zhe Kexing attacked Jingzhou, he was ambushed by Western Xia, and the battle had its own winners and losers...... "Obviously, in the eyes of the big guys, Zhe Wenxin is a small person in the end, and her capture has not been paid attention to, and no one takes it seriously.
It is precisely because of this that many people naturally ignore the impact and consequences of Origami's capture, as well as the changes and subsequent development of the whole thing. Many times, the unexpectedness of history happens in this situation.
"That's it!" Yelujun lowered his head and pondered silently, even forgetting that he himself was eating. After a long time, he asked, "What is the attitude of Western Xia?" Uncle Wang came in a hurry, something must have happened, right? ”
"Not bad!" Yelu Yixin smiled, as if praising the prince for being smart and knowing things like a god, and at the same time, there was a trace of sourness and worry behind the smile.
"The Western Xia came with news, and he was willing to admit his mistake to our dynasty, and his attitude was very humble, asking my dynasty to exert pressure on the Song Dynasty......" Yelu Yixin explained his intentions, and also explained the relationship between Song and Liaoxia. Checks and balances are inevitable, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Liao State knew very well that it was not capable of destroying the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty stationed heavy troops at the Tangbo on the northern border, in addition to guarding against the invasion of the Liao State, and at the same time as the main force of the counterattack on the sixteen states of Youyun, it had to be defended.
In fact, the pressure on the Liao State in the area of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is not small, and they are very satisfied with the current situation, and they do not want to fight to the death with the Song Dynasty. Therefore, it is best to have a Western Xia, which can share the pressure on them from the Song Dynasty. Western Xia took advantage of this advantage and met left and right in it. So this time Xixia has such an attitude. And how do you plan to do it?
Yelujun was silent for a long time. asked, "What does Uncle Wang think?" ”
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?" Yelu Yixin did not answer, but asked rhetorically. It looks like he is taking the school prince, but as for what the actual purpose is, only he knows......
Yelujun didn't say it, and said with a smile: "If that's not the case, how about we write it together?" ”
"Good!" Yelu Yixin agreed with the proposal, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, and his eyes kept rolling and turning.
Immediately an attendant brought pen and paper. The two of them each wrote a few words, Yelu Jun first showed his paper, the handwriting silver hook iron painting, sharp and powerful, but also elegant and agile, obviously influenced by his mother Xiao Guanyin. I saw four words written up and down: Song Xia negotiated peace!
Yelu Yixin smiled knowingly, and also unfolded his paper, which also had a few words written on it: "Song Xia Peace!" ”
Their ideas coincide!
Yelujun said with a smile: "It seems that Empress Dowager Liang wants to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, but she is afraid that the Song Dynasty will not agree, so she came to our ......."
"Let's put pressure on us. Let the Song Dynasty take the initiative to stop the war, this is the wishful thinking of the Western Xia people! Yelu Yixin casually chimed in. The deep gaze fell on Yelujun, although the prince is young, he is extremely intelligent, and his knowledge is even more far-reaching, this son is extraordinary! Future...... Future...... I don't know why, looking at Yelu Jun, Yelu Yixin always felt that the future was gloomy, and even had an inexplicable fear and uneasiness......
"What is Uncle Wang's opinion? Have you ever reported to Beijing? Does my father know? But show it? Yelujun asked in a deep voice.
Yelu Yixin replied: "Your Majesty said that this matter is completely handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as for the ministers...... Obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
Yelujun put down the food in his hand, paced back and forth in the room, and said in a low voice: "It stands to reason that it is good for my Daliao to start a war in Song Xia. But now, after Liang Yibury was captured, the morale of the Western Xia was low, and he was afraid that he was not the opponent of the Song army......
After losing Liang Yiburi, the Empress Dowager Liang could not stabilize the situation, and the turmoil in Western Xia gave the Song Dynasty another opportunity. It is said that the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, was ambitious and ambitious, and if he was given the Western Xia, it would not be good for my Great Liao...... From this point of view, it is also good to let Song Xia settle down for some time. ”
Jeruyisin just listened, and didn't say anything. In this situation, he doesn't want to leave behind the infamy of disobeying the prince, maybe there will be danger. In many cases, when the situation is unclear, the first thing to pay attention to is to protect yourself.
After thinking for a long time, Yelu Jun said: "Uncle Wang, I ordered to go down and let the accompanying leather room army participate in the exercise in Bianjing, near Youzhou, the target is naturally the Southern Dynasty and put some pressure on them." ”
According to Yelu Yixin's thoughts, why rush to promote the Songxia peace talks? To provoke the two countries to continue the war, it is best for the Liao State to seriously gather troops and be the last fisherman. But Yelujun didn't think so, and he didn't make such arrangements. Although Jeruethin had a thought in his heart, he had no choice but to do what he was told.
The Leather Room Army was the most elite army of the Liao State and the Emperor's Guard. This time, the crown prince Yelu Jun went south to Youzhou, and the Liao lord Yelu Hongjitri sent a group of leather room troops to accompany him, just to protect his son's safety. You must know that Yelu Hongji is such a son, and it is rare to be so good, so naturally he can't miss it in the slightest.
The momentum and deterrence of the leather room army are self-evident, if the leather room army participates in the exercise, it is still so close to the Song-Xia border, it will inevitably cause a lot of speculation and doubt, this is enough, the role of deterrence is like this!
How Yelu Jun arranged, Yelu Yixin did it, right or wrong, there are pros and cons, and now it is not good to say!
The smart prince didn't care much about Yelu Yixin beside him, but instead focused all his curiosity on Lin Zhao. Yelu Jun became more and more impulsive, and even wanted to see Lin Zhao again, it was best to fight him and see who was more powerful? I really have some expectations, and I hope there will be this opportunity.
He didn't know that his little sister Yerutri was also full of anticipation, hoping that one day she would be able to ride a horse with her big brother again......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bianjing, the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty.
Emperor Zhao Ji is in a good mood today, there is a concubine in the harem who has just given birth to a baby boy, and he is very healthy. You must know that Zhao Ji is in his twenties, and he got married early in ancient times, and he would have children early. Especially for the emperor, the heir means the inheritance of the bloodline, and there are successors for thousands of miles.
Look at the Renzong period, because the emperor "had no children" and caused so many things, it almost made the dynasty unstable and the situation was grim. Therefore, Zhao Ji got married early, and the queen Xiang was the granddaughter of the prime minister of the previous dynasty, everyone was beautiful, dignified and steady, but several years passed and did not give birth to a boy and a half girl.
It doesn't matter if there is no eldest son, as long as the concubine can give birth. In the past two years, a concubine has given birth to two boys, named Zhao Tong and Zhao Wei respectively, but it didn't take long for the two children to die, and Zhao Ji was depressed.
Fortunately, a few days ago, another concubine gave birth to a boy, and the imperial doctor had already visited him, and he was very healthy, which made Zhao Ji feel a lot more relieved. With an heir, he was naturally very happy, and immediately named his third son Zhao Jun, placing high hopes on him.
Zhao Ji didn't know that he was destined to have a difficult heir in the past few years. The first few children were destined to be empty and happy, and it was not until the sixth child Zhao Xu survived and became his de facto eldest son, who should have become the Song Zhezong of the later generations. But now, because of the appearance of Lin Zhao, the trajectory of historical development has changed, and it is difficult to say whether Song Zhezong can be born......
In addition, what Zhao Ji was even happier with was the smooth progress of the war in the northwest. Han Jiang really lived up to expectations, and as soon as he arrived in the northwest, he presided over the overall situation and stabilized the situation.
Recently, it was even more exciting in Dashun City, where Wang Shao and Lin Zhao jointly designed and defeated Western Xia under Dashun City. It is worth mentioning that Wang Shao's character is indeed good, and in the military report to the imperial court, he did not emphasize that it was completely his own strategy. Lin Zhao, who was originally kept in the dark, also became one of the masterminds, and the credit is not completely unshareable......
When Zhao Ji got the news, he couldn't help but praise him repeatedly, there was a big victory in the northwest, which was enough to inspire people. He was very satisfied with Wang Shao and Lin Zhao, the two young "henchmen", and what surprised him even more was that things were still to come.
Lin Zhao actually captured Liang Yiburi, the minister of the Western Xia State, which was an unprecedented record in the history of the Song army's operations, and it was really a great achievement.
When Zhao Ji was thinking about how to reward, he was also thinking about solving things, how should Liang Yi be buried? In what way should the Song-Xia War end?
At this moment, some heavy news came to Bianjing one after another! (To be continued.) )
