Chapter 717: Shangjing Rebellion
readx;
Yelujun worked hard in Youzhou, and Xiao Guanyin sat in Beijing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hearing the news that his son had a fiasco in Qingzhou and almost lost his life, Xiao Guanyin's heart was raised.
That's her only son, Mother Lianxin, how can she not be in a hurry?
She knew better than anyone why her son would rush to the south, if he hadn't been so anxious, if he hadn't been so anxious for quick success, he wouldn't have had such a fiasco.
Xiao Guanyin blamed himself very much, because of his mistakes, which led to a difficult situation, and even affected the national fortunes of Liao. She felt that she was a sinner, and her heart was full of infinite self-reproach and guilt.
As for Zhao Zhao, the man who had a dewy relationship overnight is not even a lover/person. Maybe he never forgot it, he also saved himself several times, maybe he had a special feeling in his heart. But at this moment, it's time to let go, or even disappear.
In contrast, she cares more about her son. A man who is barely a lover/person has been seriously injured, do you still have to think about him?
Hatred, a normal heart should be hatred. But Xiao Guanyin's mood is more complicated, maybe what she wants to do more is forget.
Her daughter had asked her more than once, but she couldn't explain what she couldn't talk about!
Maybe it will take an opportunity, maybe it will take a little time.
At the moment, she doesn't have time to think about it so much, she is most concerned about the war in Youzhou, the safety of her son, and the national fortune of Liao!
Because she is the queen mother of Liao.
"Queen Mother, the matter of organizing reinforcements is not going very well!" Xiao Guanyin sat in Shangjing, and the little princess Yelutri became an assistant.
Youzhou warriors are disadvantageous. There are proposals from both the government and the opposition. The reinforcements were sent to Youzhou. The elites of the Liao State were all dispatched to Yanyun. If reinforcements were to be sent, they had to be drawn from other places, or recruited from various tribes and the nomadic tribes attached to the Liao State. The little princess Yerutri was doing this, but the actual effect was not satisfactory, so she felt a little aggrieved.
"What's wrong? Terry? ”
"Those princes and the leaders of the various tribes have a lot of excuses, saying that most of the tribal soldiers have followed the imperial brother to the south, or are the pastures preparing for the winter...... "Yelutri said: "On the contrary, no one is willing to take the initiative to send more troops and horses south!" ”
"Then you can consult with the important ministers of the imperial court?" Xiao Guanyin also frowned, how could things be like this?
"Looked. But the reaction of the ministers is very ......" Yelutri said: "The king of the Northern Courtyard, Yelu Tart, is not also, even if he is greater than Yue Renxian, he is silent, and he doesn't seem to support it very much, and the situation is very bad. ”
"How so?" Xiao Guanyin realized that the matter was a little serious, and once he lost the support of the Khitan nobles, the emperor's position would be shaken and very dangerous.
Yelutri said: "Not only that, the prince and the ministers have a lot of resentment against the imperial brother, thinking that he is bent on doing his own thing. It has led to the current situation, and the dissatisfaction is very serious. Queen mother. To be honest, my daughter is really worried! ”
Silent!
Xiao Guanyin was also silent, the Khitan nobles collectively and silently opposed, has the situation reached this point? For some reason, an inexplicable chill permeated the whole body.
"Tomorrow I will personally go to the palace and talk to these princes!" Xiao Guanyin said: "When you come with me, remember to hug Yanxi, even if he is still young, he is a big Liao Tai after all." ”
"Good!"
Yerutri hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Queen Mother, can you tell me why the imperial brother hurriedly set out south?" Why did he treat his mother like that? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that there is some misunderstanding with your imperial brother, don't worry!" When Xiao Guanyin said this, his breathing couldn't help but be a little short.
"Really?" Jerutri became more and more curious, this question had been bothering him for a long time. Intuition told him that things would not be so simple, the royal brother did not hesitate to be angry about this, and the queen mother was silent, which had to make people think more, what serious things happened?
Xiao Guanyin shook his head and said, "Terry, don't ask, if I can tell you, the queen mother will say it." ”
"Yes!" Jerutrius groaned for a long time, opening his mouth several times, but finally stopped talking. Eventually, he silently withdrew, but that curious heart became more active and persistent.
It was only a moment, but Xiao Guanyin was as long as it had been for several years. Especially when her daughter asked her in person, it was completely a kind of soul torture and torture, and she never let go after all.
……
Tossing and turning all night, after getting up, bringing the phoenix crown, Xiao Guanyin calmed down. She is now the queen mother of Liao, and she has to face the people and subjects of Da Liao.
When Xiao Guanyin, the princess Yelutri, and the little Taiye Lu Yanxi appeared in the court, the Khitan nobles had already come!
The topic of discussion today is the matter of sending troops to rescue Youzhou, and everyone knows it. His Majesty the Emperor's approach is indeed a bit irrational, and the results are not ideal.
From the perspective of national interests, it is time to send troops to the rescue. But as a tribal leader, no one wants their own tribe to pay for the emperor's mistakes and go to death.
"Queen Mother, I heard that the Song Dynasty used a new firearm, which is very lethal, and Your Majesty's defeat in Qingzhou was because of this." Some tribal leaders have euphemistically stated that they are afraid of the power of firearms in the Song Dynasty and do not want their own tribe's soldiers to be sent to death.
"Your Majesty is in Nanjing, Yanyun is of great significance to my Daliao, how can I sit idly by, we should rescue as soon as possible!" He also expressed his determination to rescue.
"The question is how to save it? The Song army was under the city of Youzhou, and they had elite cavalry, while our elite cavalry was lost in Qingzhou. How to start a war with the Song people on the plains? ”
"When Emperor Shengzong was in power, Emperor Song also sent an army of 300,000 to attack Youzhou, but it was not defeated by General Yelu Huge."
"Back then, the Song people pursued our Daliao cavalry with infantry, and General Yelu Hugo had the opportunity to set up an ambush on the Gaoliang River and defeat the Song army. Now that the cavalry of the Song Dynasty is not as weak as ours, will they make the same mistake twice? ”
"Yes, the Song people still have that mysterious firearm, I heard that after it was launched, it shook the sky, and the flames hurt people, like thunder."
The more Xiao Guanyin listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, why did he come to this point? The attitude of the Khitan nobles is really ......
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the firearms of the Song people are amazing, but they are not divine objects after all, His Majesty the Emperor and the soldiers are still fighting in Youzhou, so that others will destroy their own prestige, isn't it?" The eldest princess Yelutri came forward, and her words made many people embarrassed.
Empress Dowager Xiao Guanyin took advantage of the situation and said: "Now we have to think of a way!" ”
"I wonder what His Majesty's will is?"
This sentence was asked shamelessly, and Xiao Guanyin said helplessly: "Youzhou City has been besieged by the Song army, and His Majesty's will cannot be conveyed. That's why we need to find a way to rescue. ”
"Queen Mother, dare to ask what is the purpose of the rescue? If it is to rescue His Majesty, relying on the existing forces in Youzhou, it is completely possible to break through. If it is to keep Youzhou, there is no need to worry, Youzhou is garrisoned by a large army, the city is tall, and the grain and grass are sufficient. As long as they hold on for a month or two, the people of the Song Dynasty will definitely not be able to hold on and will take the initiative to withdraw their troops. ”
The meaning is obvious, in any case, there is no need to send troops to rescue. Xiao Guanyin couldn't help but feel cold, and at the same time, he was deeply worried that this was a great blow to his prestige. In addition, he himself and the most elite forces of the Khitan royal family were trapped in Youzhou, and almost completely lost their deterrence and control over the Khitan nobles.
If it goes on like this, the consequences are unimaginable!
Xiao Guanyin was still worried, no matter what, she had to find a way to reduce the pressure for her son. But soon, she realized that she couldn't do anything.
It is impossible for Shangjing to draw out a single soldier, and the king of the North Courtyard, Yelu Tart, rebelled very suddenly.
……
Yelu Tart did not attend the court meeting today, although Xiao Guanyin noticed it, but did not take it seriously.
He even planned to send someone to visit, which had an impact at the moment, and the Khitan nobles who held great power must be encircled. But I never expected that Yelu Tart would also directly launch a mutiny.
The first target of the army turned out to be the imperial palace, and Yelu Tart obviously wanted to capture the Liao ruling center in one fell swoop. controlled the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and also controlled many Khitan nobles, thus mastering the power of the Liao State in one fell swoop. Of course, it is except for Yanyun Ten Prefectures.
As for Youzhou and the current emperor Yelu Jun, Yelu Tart does not mind dealing with it to the people of the Song Dynasty. It's best if Yelujun is dead, but Youzhou can get it back. He is a relatively traditional Khitan people, and he feels that the Khitan people are the heroes of the grassland, and the nomadic life is the most reasonable, so he does not attach much importance to the ten states of Yanyun.
It stands to reason that if you are caught off guard and enter the palace, there is a high probability that the mutiny will succeed. The elite of the Liao State is exhausted, and almost all of them are in Youzhou. Compared to the last rebellion of Yelu Yixin, the leather chamber army was also absent, and there was a high probability of success.
But things often have accidents, and Yelu Tart didn't even calculate carefully, and took precautions against all the big people who might affect the mutiny, which can be described as a careful plan.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and Yelu Tart never thought that things would be disrupted by a little baby.
Xiao Yuhan, the king of Lanling, a boy who was only seventeen years old, was originally just a guard general in the palace. Because he inherited the title of his father, he has a high status. But his abilities and deeds seem to be very average, so few people care about him.
But it was such a neglected teenager who discovered the conspiracy of Yelu Tart, and reported to Xiao Tart Buye, the commander of the horses, in time, and the two organized a defense together, repelled the rebels, and killed a bloody road, and rescued the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, as well as many noble princes.
Yelu Tart's plan failed in this way, and the enraged Khitan princes immediately mobilized their troops and began to fight against them. Yelu Tart had no choice but to flee with his troops, but the fierce battle in Shangjing continued, and it had become a complete mess...... (To be continued.) )
