451, Yanjing Rebellion
After the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi entered Yanjing, he stayed in the palace, not caring about political affairs every day, but only commanding a small number of cronies to be busy, occasionally moving some things out of the palace, and sometimes moving some things back from outside.

At first, his appearance made Yeluchun and Yelu Dashi quite worried, but later they found that he really threw off his hands, ignored political and military affairs, and handed it over to everyone, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liao State made it like this, they were really not at ease with Yelu Yanxi's governance skills, and now Yelu Yanxi is willing to let go, they are more at ease, so even if some strange requests and orders in the palace come out, they will fully cooperate and there is nothing to stop them.
Fortunately, Yelu Yanxi also asked Yelu Dashi to send someone to tell him about Japanese customs and overseas scenes, so as to relieve his boredom.
No one knew that under this outpouring of power, Yelu Yanxi was planning a whimsical plan.
"Are you ready?" He looked at the guards beside him and whispered.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is ready!"
"That's good, what about the things, have they arrived?" He asked again.
The guard in front of him nodded again and again: "Yesterday's news has been delivered." ”
Yelu Yanxi laughed twice, in fact, he took the trouble to ask such a question four or five times, but every time he asked, he would feel more at ease, so he kept asking it repeatedly.
Looking at the sky, it was already evening at this time, and Yelu Yanxi's heart moved: "If I start today...... What do you guys think? ”
The cronies looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes.
"Yes, it starts today...... Anyway, they don't need me, and the Jurchens may come over at any time, prepare early, and be safe sooner...... I can't trust them! Yelu Yanxi muttered to herself.
That being said, he really had to take action, and it was very involved, so he finally returned to the palace.
But since the thought was born, it was like a rope that wrapped around him entirely. This made him unable to fall asleep for a long time, and even alcohol could not have the usual hypnotic effect.
When Yelu Yanxi was tossing and turning on the couch, at the south gate of Yanjing City, a group of figures slowly walked over. The Khitan people guarding the south gate shouted and asked, and the other party got the password right, and when he got closer, he saw that this was the resentful army.
"What are you doing here so late?" The Khitan sergeant guarding the door asked vigilantly.
"Do you think we are willing to come, isn't there an order from above, let us take your place, so that you can rest?" It was Pharmacist Guo who led the two hundred people to complain about the army, and he snorted and said.
When the Khitan sergeant heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "I see, okay, okay, you guys come quickly, let's just go and squint for a while!" ”
At this time, the people who were still guarding the city gate were all low-level officers, and where would he be, so this group of resentful troops approached the city gate, and they really packed their things and prepared to rest. After the resentful army came, they broke out, and in an instant, they killed these Khitans who were still awake.
The Khitans who were asleep were also quickly killed silently, and in the blink of an eye, the resentful army took control of the entire south gate.
Seeing that he had succeeded here, Pharmacist Guo breathed a sigh of relief and summoned a humane: "Quickly go to the palace and tell them that I have taken control of the south gate, let them do it quickly!" ”
As soon as the man left, Pharmacist Guo was not at ease, and called another cronie: "You go too, if they don't move, you say that then I will lead the people of the headquarters out of the city first!" ”
What they have to do tonight is a big thing, if there is an accident, everyone will have to lose their heads, which is why Pharmacist Guo is so nervous.
Not many of his own men remained in the city, and after he took control of the south gate, he began to gather in this direction, and it didn't take long for there to be more than a thousand. Guo Yaoshi was a little relieved, with so many troops, he could escape even if it didn't work.
Zhao Liangsi has been following him, and at this time there is also a strange light in his eyes, if today's thing is done, Tong Guan will be able to wash away the shame of the previous three defeats, and the entire Great Song Dynasty will also be shaken by it, he Zhao Liangsi personally, not to mention the credit.
At this time, Xiao Yuqing was escorted over. This Khitan overseer tied up the five flowers, and his mouth was also tightly gagged, and when he saw the two of them, he made a sound of hum, and his face was full of anger.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Seeing him like this, Pharmacist Guo asked.
Xiao Yuqing nodded again and again, indicating that he did have something to say. Guo Yaoshi reached out and grabbed the cloth ball that blocked his mouth, and made a gesture to pull the cloth ball out, but then smiled: "If it is pulled out, you only need to use your throat, I will cut you, what's the use?" ”
Xiao Yuqing was furious, but even if he was full of anger, he couldn't express it, so he could only keep struggling.
After playing this guy, Guo Yaoshi waved his hand to his subordinates, and asked people to take him out of the city.
He stood on top of the tower, looking north, the waiting time was always slow, and it seemed to him that a long time had passed, and he couldn't help but curse.
At this time, he saw Zhao Liangsi looking at something in his hand with the light, and Pharmacist Guo was a little curious: "Zhao Micheng, what are you looking at?" ”
"Pocket watches, a new timer launched by the Tokai Chamber of Commerce, can be rotated for one day with a single winding every day." Zhao Liangsi handed it to him: "It's almost ugly, we have been waiting here for two quarters of an hour." ”
"It's only been two quarters of an hour...... This thing is good! Pharmacist Guo looked at the pocket watch, his eyes full of admiration.
He'd seen a grandfather clock, even one in his house, but he had never seen a pocket watch before.
"One of these things, worth 500 yuan, it is said that it is the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and it can only make more than 1,000 pieces a year, and I am a reward from Tong Shumi."
Unlike other things, pocket watches require skilled craftsmen, so their production is not very high, so Zhou Quan just used gold, silver and jade as ornaments on them, and introduced them to the market as luxury goods.
Seeing the envious look on Pharmacist Guo's face, Zhao Liangsi smiled: "There are so many novelties like the Great Song Dynasty, as long as General Guo returns to the Song Dynasty, are you still afraid of it?" 500 guan is nothing, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty gives you 50,000 guan at a time! ”
Guo Yaoshi nodded again and again, but he knew in his heart that the premise of all this was that they could bring the resentful army to the Great Song Dynasty!
"I don't know where the reinforcements sent by Tong Shumi's are going, no matter whether the city can succeed or not, we have to leave before dawn, and then we will go south at that time, and we will be able to reach Baozhou in a few days, but the Khitan people are Thomas, if the reinforcements come slowly, wait for them to figure it out......"
As soon as Pharmacist Guo's words came to this, he suddenly shut up, raised his eyes and looked towards the city, only to see a little fire rising in the northeast of the city.
"It's activated!" He shouted.
Immediately afterwards, all over Yanjing City, there were flames, people shouted everywhere, some people screamed, some shouted that the Jurchen barbarians were coming, and some shouted that the Song people had called, and the whole city was in chaos.
This is the plan they came up with on the fly, sending cronies, setting fires everywhere, and creating chaos. In this chaotic situation, if the order given by the commander of the Liao State is slightly wrong, it will make the situation even more chaotic.
And the only correct thing to do is to order the armies to close their doors and guard themselves, and wait until dawn to come out to check. If they do, they will be given the opportunity to retreat calmly.
The number of resentful troops in the city was not large, that is, three or four thousand, and the main forces were outside the city. When they withdraw, they can take part of the main force with them, and they can carry 20,000 or 30,000 people south, which is a miracle.
Taking a deep breath, Pharmacist Guo was no longer nervous at this time, he ordered everyone to get ready, and went down the city tower by himself.
Carrying a simple knife, he stepped forward and waited for a response from the city.
The fire broke out everywhere, and sure enough, it immediately alarmed Yeluchun, Xiao Gan, and Yelu Dashi, and the three of them are now in charge of state affairs, in order to facilitate the management of affairs, the mansion is in the neighboring place, and soon they gather in one place.
"There were fires everywhere outside, and they all said that the Jin and Song people had attacked...... Do you think it's true or not? Yeluchun asked, coughing.
Yelu Dashi glanced at him with some concern, Yelu Chun's health has not been very good since the beginning of the year, and during this period of time he has been working on state affairs, and he has weakened rapidly.
"It must be fake, the Song people are still hiding in Baozhou, and they have just been defeated, and they can't go north at all, as for the Jin people, how can they cross the Great Wall and come to Yanjing without knowing it!" Xiao Gan was old in military affairs, and snorted: "If it weren't for the intrigues they sent, it would be the resentful army in the city that is creating chaos and taking the opportunity to loot!" ”
"There is a great possibility of rebellion against the army." Yelu Dashi also said.
"It's long overdue to listen to the words of the two of you and get rid of this resentful army!" Yeluchun hated the truth.
The resentful army was pulled out by Yelu Chun, and an important reason why he was able to suppress Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi was that he had this force in his hands. In fact, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi persuaded more than once, the resentful army did not show the combat effectiveness it had, but had made several rebellions, it was better to capture and kill its generals, and the soldiers were used to supplement the rest of the troops, but Yelu Chun did not agree with it out of selfishness, but he regretted it at this time.
"It's not too late tomorrow, Master Guo Yao has never been a person who keeps to himself, tomorrow he can be summoned to ask questions, so that Xiao Yuqing can take over the military power, and then punish him." Xiao Gan said.
Yelu Dashi frowned: "Wait until tomorrow...... I'm afraid that the resentful army will collude with the Jin people or the Liao people! ”
As soon as he said this, Yeluchun and Xiao Gan were shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, it was very likely.
The resentful army was originally not loyal to the Great Liao, but now the Liao State is in a bad situation, and they surrendered to the Song and Jin in order to seek wealth and nobility, this kind of thing is definitely done.
"No, you can't let them do this, you have to send someone out!" Xiao Gandao.
Ye Luchun also had the same intention, they ordered to send people out to reorganize the troops, but soon after the people were dispatched, they panicked and reported, but it was the Liao army departments that saw the fire and rumored everywhere that it was not a battalion, so they also took advantage of the chaos to loot the Yanjing households!
Among them, the deserters who fled from the north with Yelu Yanxi were the worst.
This is also inevitable, these deserters abandoned their wives and children to come to Yanjing, whether they were generals or soldiers, they were full of anger in their stomachs, and now they are venting in chaos, even if someone goes to Yelu Yanxi's order, they can't stop it.
In this case, they can't care about suppressing the resentful army, so they can only order the troops to return to the camp, as for the chaos in the city, it can only be temporarily left to it.
All three pinned their hopes on after dawn. (To be continued.) )
