The Great Song Dynasty and the fifth year of February. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is also the second month of the fifth year of the Tianqing of the Liao State.

Yu Liyan frowned, stood on the pagoda and looked south, the other end of the mighty Yellow River in the south was full of abandoned fields.

Because the relationship between the Liao and Song Dynasty was wartime and peaceful, the grass valley was popular on the border of both sides, so the junction was a hundred miles of land boundary, and there were few people. Those fertile fields can only be abandoned and wasted.

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, Zhou Langjun hasn't made a mistake yet!" Brother Yelu next to him coughed.

"Hmph, Xiao Fengxian is waiting for this opportunity, how can I not be in a hurry!"

When Yu Liyan mentioned Xiao Fengxian, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

This time, Yelu Yanxi's personal expedition was instigated by Xiao Fengxian. Originally, after the last rebellion of the Liao State, the national strength was frustrated, relying on the Yucheng Covenant, finally took a breath, what should be done at this time is to train the troops and recuperate, and accumulate national strength, but Xiao Fengxian encouraged Yelu Yanxi to march the whole country in person.

Perhaps Xiao Fengxian felt that with the power of the Great Liao, the whole country would be conquered, and the Jurchens could be defeated, not only him, but also the entire Khitan elite class. Yu Liyan was influenced by Zhou Quan and got more Jurchen news from the Goryeo, so he felt that this battle was a bit risky.

Compared with the national strength, Da Liao is far superior to the Jurchen, as long as he fights steadily, squeezes the Jurchen space step by step, and drives it into the cold plain outside the white mountain and black water. In less than two years, the Jurchen tribes will inevitably split, and at that time, they will be destroyed in one fell swoop - this is not Yu Liyan's idea, but Zhou Quan's idea.

But the Liao people were impregnated with that blind optimism, and even when there were objections, they were suppressed.

"They just heard that the Jurchens have robbed a lot of property from the Goryeo and want to snatch it from the Jurchens again!"

Population, livestock, property, this is the fundamental reason why the Khitan magnates can't wait to go to war!

Yu Liyan's opposition was only exchanged for their ridicule and Xiao Fengxian's malice. For example, Yelu Yanxi issued an order to transfer Yu Liyan's guards to join the imperial tent, and Yu Liyan was sure that Xiao Fengxian was behind this.

Now the Jurchen magnates, who doesn't know that Yu Liyan's guards were lent to Zhou Quan, and they can get tens of thousands of yuan from Zhou Quan every month, and in the war to defeat the Koreans, these guards made a lot of money, and the Song State money sent back was as much as 10,000!

"Princess, if Zhou Langjun is with the army, it will be good." Yelu Margo said in a low voice.

He thought of Wuyang, if Zhou Quan can follow the army, Wuyang, a Song general, will definitely follow, with such a strong general who is proficient in the art of war, he will have more confidence.

"He's from Song!" Yu Liyan said angrily.

Although he wished to turn Zhou Quan into a Liao, Yu Liyan still understood that Zhou Quan was a Song person, and if it wasn't for treason, it would never be possible to come here.

"This ruthless enemy!"

Yu Liyan muttered to himself, of course Yelu Ma Ge pretended not to hear.

To this day, Yu Liyan has been looking south on this pagoda for more than two months, but there is no news from the south, and I don't know if the news has been delivered to Zhou Quan.

You must know that Yu Liyan's letter is risky, to some extent, it exposes the reality of his country to the Great Song Dynasty, if he didn't know that the Great Song Dynasty was about to attack Western Xia, and he couldn't take the time to look north, Yu Liyan wouldn't dare to leak the news.

However, if you think about it carefully, the Liao envoys were willing to help her deliver the letter and leak the news, which also allowed the Song State to have no worries and be able to concentrate on dealing with the Western Xia - only if the Song State made a move against the Western Xia, the Liao State could also concentrate on dealing with the Jurchens without worries.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Yu Liyan was still thinking about the cause and effect of this, and suddenly heard Yelu Ma Ge shout.

Sure enough, in the distance, she saw a shadow of a sail.

Half a day later, Zhou Quan appeared in front of Yu Liyan, Yu Liyan did not cry with joy, but kept looking behind him.

"What's wrong?"

"What about your parents, and your sister?"

"Why did they come here?" Zhou Quan said a little funny.

"You come to help me fight, but if they don't come, shouldn't the emperor of the Song Dynasty punish them?" Yu Liyan's eyes widened: "You go back, I don't have to worry about you!" ”

Zhou Quan's heart was slightly moved.

He knew that Yu Liyan's current situation was not very good, otherwise he would not have written to him for help.

What Yu Liyan said in his letter was that the Emperor of Liao was preparing to drive the expedition in person, but in fact he wanted him to transfer back the leather army on Jeju Island.

"How can I ignore you, even if I don't get along myself, I have to give you some help!"

Zhou Quan smiled and waved his hand.

Behind him, soldiers began to pour out from the Blue Bird and other ships.

At the beginning, there were 1,000 leather room troops who came to Jeju Island, some of whom were killed in battle and some of whom died of illness, but later Yu Liyan supplemented Zhou Quan, so now the total number of those who came with Zhou Quan was about 1,800, close to 2,000.

Their war horses were left on Jeju Island, and there was no shortage of horses in the Khitan anyway, but when they appeared in front of Yu Liyan, Yu Liyan couldn't help but whisper.

The Khitan soldiers naturally had armor, but the armor of the 1,800 leather room army had been replaced, all of which were forged plate armor, and the armor was painted with black paint, and when they came out in array, it looked like a huge piece of black steel.

After staying on Jeju Island for more than a year, how could Zhou Quan let these leather room troops idle, in Zhou Quan's opinion, this is Yu Liyan's dowry, that is, his property, and he also expects that when he travels through Japan in the future, these leather room troops can play a greater role.

"The armor blades on everyone's body cost me more than three hundred times!" Zhou Quan muttered, and then waved his hand arrogantly: "I can't accompany you to the battlefield, but I can throw money!" ”

"600,000 Guan ......" Yu Liyan silently calculated in his heart, and then hugged Zhou Quan hard.

"Don't be busy, and!"

Zhou Quan pointed to the people who were disembarking at the other end, Yu Liyan squinted his eyes and saw that a large group of people were also disembarking.

"It's ......"

"Goryeo people, after the last war, some Goryeo people were reluctant to return to Goryeo, and would rather fight for me, so I trained this Goryeo battalion, 3,000 people...... Equipped with bow and crossbow leather armor, although the attack is not as sharp as your leather room army, but the Korean people are good at shooting, and when they cooperate with the skin room army, they can at least protect you well. Your emperor Lao Tzu is too, and it's not that he doesn't have a son, why do you want your daughter to follow the royal driver! ”

Zhou Quan complained, of course he knew that Yu Liyan's situation was not good, otherwise, as a daughter, why did she need to go to the battlefield?

This time, Yelu Yanxi personally marched, and the ****** issued to his country was that all those who had more than 20 miscellaneous animals must have one of them join the army, and even ordered all princes, horses, and chiefs to lead their own soldiers to accompany them. Yu Liyan is not married, it stands to reason that as long as he sends his own soldiers, but he was named to follow the army, and he pampered this daughter in Yelu Yanxi, but behind it was the result of some people's promotion.

"I can't refuse my father's order." Yu Liyan didn't say anything about the weight on his shoulders, and explained casually.

"Anyway, you have to be careful."

"Hmm."

Yu Liyan snorted, only feeling hot in his eyes.

It was not only her mother's political rival Xiao Fengxian who pushed her to drive with her, but even her mother, her uncle, and her half-brother were also pushing for this. These close relatives don't care about her mood and safety, all of them add up, and they don't care about her as much as Zhou Quan!

"The combat power of these Koreans is okay!"

Brother Yeluma, who was originally a few steps away and didn't dare to disturb them talking, finally couldn't help but come forward and speak.

Although he didn't have many generals, he had been in the leather army for a long time, and he could naturally see that these Koreans were disciplined and obeyed the rules in their every move. He really couldn't have imagined that the Koreans of this strength, who were said to have 70,000 or 80,000 people, were defeated by Zhou Quan with less than 10,000 people on Jeju Island!

As for the rumored Song people inviting immortals to help, Yelu Ma Ge didn't believe it at all.

"I've been training them for more than half a year, and I've got to get some results...... By the way, Yu Liyan, if there is any accident, you will take people away, to the south, to the south, to Suzhou! ”

Suzhou in the Liao State is the Dalian area of the later generations, Yu Liyan frowned: "My father and the emperor drove the expedition in person, and faced the enemy with the strength of the whole country, what accidents will there be...... Zhou Lang, aren't you optimistic about this battle? ”

"It's not just that I'm not optimistic, I always feel that your father is taking risks, if there is a mistake, it will be easy to attack and defend, and at that time, the Jurchens, who were originally just suffering from ringworm and scabies, will really become a confidant!" Zhou Quan said.

Almost at the same time as Zhou Quan said this, across the far north, outside Ningjiang Prefecture in Liaoguo, a Jurchen man smiled and pointed ahead: "Wushu, the front is the Huanglong Mansion!" ”

"Uncle Yinshuke, did my father really ascend the throne and become an emperor?" Called a vulture, he was still just a little boy at this time, a little younger than Zhou Quan's age, he raised his head and asked the Jurchen strong man beside him.

Wanyan Yinshu can brush his beard and laugh: "Of course, Huanglong Mansion is now our imperial capital, and Yelu Yanxi, that big fool in Liao, can be the emperor, why can't a hero like your father be the emperor!" One day, we will enter the Liao Kingdom and go to Beijing, and let Yelu Yanxi dance and bow down for your father! ”

Wushu's eyes were full of longing: "We will definitely be able to defeat the Khitans, but you must not fight too fast." ”

"Oh?"

"If you fight too fast, who will I attack when I grow up?"

The words of the vultures made the silver art laugh.

He is the most supportive of Akuta's cronies, and he is as fond of war and plunder as a drunken beauty.

Pointing the whip to the south, he smiled and said: "Wushu, don't worry, you have destroyed the Liao State and the Song State, I heard that the Song State in the south of the Liao State is richer than the Liao State, the sugar there is as inexhaustible as the snow in winter, the cloth there is as much as leaves, and the Han people of the Song State are more cowardly than the Khitans...... At that time, uncle, I will be old, and I will be able to watch you conquer the Song Kingdom and bring back the most beautiful women, the most beautiful silk cloth, and the sweetest honey! ”

"I heard that the princess of Shu in Liao is the most beautiful woman in Liao, I want to bring her to my big tent!" The Vulture shouted. (To be continued.) )
