Chapter 169: Punishing the King of Beiliang (Part II)

Wanyan Shengcong wiped his face with cold water, and the cool water soaked on his skin with an indescribable comfort. Wanyan Shengcong's tiredness also dissipated most of it.

summoned Chen Yankai in private, and Wanyan Shengcong still showed Chen Yankai a seat. Chen Yankai was the only Han Chinese in the Liao Empire who was qualified to sit in front of the Liao Emperor Wanyan Shengcong. Even Yu Yansong, who was holding a heavy army, had to stand from the beginning after seeing Yan Shengcong.

"The important ministers in the clan are gone, there are only two of us monarchs and ministers in this palace, there is nothing to scruple about, what do you want to say to me, Aiqing but it doesn't hurt." Wanyan Shengcong opened the conversation.

"How can a slave be so relied on by the saint." Chen Yankai was a little ashamed.

This time, Chen Yankai advocated that the southern expedition take advantage of the chaos when preparations were hasty. It was also Chen Yankai's idea to point Yu Yansong as the deputy marshal of the Southern Army. It's just that only he and Wanyan Shengcong know about this matter, and the important ministers of the Manshu clan don't know about it.

After learning the news that the southern expedition was defeated and the 50,000 southern army was almost wiped out, Chen Yankai was like five thunderbolts. His head was blank, thinking that this time Wanyan Shengcong would punish him. After committing such a big mistake, it is not an exaggeration to dethrone Yan Shengcong as he took away the post of general Yan Fushen.

Wanyan Shengcong not only did not mean to punish him, but still trusted him as usual, which made Chen Yankai a little moved, and at the same time a little guilty.

"I don't know it in my heart." Wanyan Shengcong sat down slowly, and said with tiredness, "The king of this country is more difficult than the head of a clan, and I have been deeply touched by this when the **** of the Great Liao Kingdom has been **** for this year." Every step of the way is trembling, like walking on thin ice, for fear that something will go wrong, and the young Great Liao Kingdom will be brought into the abyss of no return, and there will be no chance to turn over. ”

"The emperor has clothes and food for dinner, which makes the servants embarrassed." Chen Yankai complimented Yan Shengcong, although it was a compliment, but this compliment was not hypocritical. In the past year, Wanyan Shengcong has indeed been diligent in political affairs, and it is common for him to be busy until late at night every day.

"There is no need to say more compliments between us." Wanyan Shengcong waved his hand, "Mr. used to say to me that Nanzhao has a strong foundation, and making a few mistakes will not shake Nanzhao's foundation, unless Nanzhao makes a fatal mistake and destroys his foundation." And our Great Liao Country has a weak foundation, and we can't afford to make mistakes, let alone make big mistakes. This time I made a mistake, 30,000 soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Shengcong paused, stretched out three fingers and made a three-to-three gesture, and said in a choked voice: "Thirty thousand soldiers, a full thirty thousand soldiers, were beheaded by the Southern Zhao Army, and the corpse was in the wilderness." How miserable! How many times have my Manshu people suffered such a disgrace! This time I've made a big mistake, and I can't go on again. What to do next, please ask my husband to teach me. ”

Wanyan Shengcong put down his posture, like a studious student who asked the teacher for advice.

Chen Yankai couldn't help but sigh, this is the atmosphere of a generation of heroes, to make the monarch of Great Zhao have such a humble attitude as Yan Shengcong, why did the Great Zhao Empire fall to this point today?

"The blame for this mistake is no longer the emperor, but the minions' unfavorable planning, the minions underestimated Zhao Jun in Liaodong and underestimated a person." Chen Yankai let out a long sigh and said slowly.

"Underestimating a person." Wanyan Shengcong muttered to himself while thinking seriously, and said uncertainly, "This person is Wu Tingzhen?" ”

The Zhao army that participated in the annihilation of the Liao State to conquer the southern army was mainly the Qin army and the private soldiers of the Wu nationality, and the Qin army regarded the Qin army as the biggest enemy of the next expansion of the Manshu tribe since the Qin army came out. As for the private soldiers of the Wu clan who had given him a headache, they were temporarily put aside.

A crippled wealthy clan doesn't even have a place to live, and how much storm can a tribe that needs to rely on another big clan to survive? This was Wan Yan Shengcong's previous thoughts, but it turned out that his idea was wrong. Although the Wu people were defeated, the Wu people proved themselves with an unprecedented victory, proving that the Wu people are still the great enemies of the Manshu people. The Wu clan is really ghostly.

"We did underestimate Wu Tingzhen." Chen Yankai first affirmed Yan Shengcong, and then changed his words, "In addition to Wu Tingzhen, we also underestimated one person: He Tengxiao. ”

Chen Yankai believes that He Tengxiao is a person who has been underestimated by the high-level of the Great Liao State from beginning to end. This once unknown son of the He clan has repeatedly dealt blows to the Liao Empire in the past year. First, he held on to Pingshan Fort and forced the southern expedition in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, and the Liao Empire returned in vain. By sending cavalry to Fengcheng again, he tried to smash the Liao army's intention to attack Fengcheng and force the landing of Goryeo, but this time He Tengxiao did not succeed. The Liao Empire still took Phoenix as expected and successfully forced a landing on Goryeo.

However, the cost of the forced landing on Goryeo exceeded the expectations of the Liao State, and the price paid by the Liao Empire for the forced landing on Goryeo was not caused on the battlefield of Goryeo. It was caused by He Tengxiao.

This time, He Tengxiao indirectly dealt a heavy blow to the Liao Empire.

"He Tengxiao." Wanyan Shengcong remembered this name, this name is not unfamiliar to him, since the defeat of the southern expedition in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, Wanyan Shengcong has remembered this inconspicuous figure in the Liaodong region, and it can even be said that he is an outcast. It was this abandoned son who dealt blows to the Great Liao Empire again and again, "Maybe I should have paid attention to this person a long time ago." ”

"Wu Tingzhen is short of food, and even more short of ordnance, a large part of the ordnance of the Wu private soldiers this time was provided by He Tengxiao, a battalion general, is capable of providing equipment for a team of 20,000 people, this battalion general is by no means an ordinary battalion general, and is by no means a mediocre person." Chen Yankai said, "Without the support of grain, grass and ordnance, Wu Tingzhen's 20,000 remnants of the Wu clan alone can't exert such great combat effectiveness. We should re-examine the person He Tengxiao, who would have thought that a middle- and low-level military attache in Nanzhao would be a fierce rival of a huge empire. ”

"This kind of talent can't be used by my Great Liao Country, it's a pity." Wanyan Shengcong said with emotion, "There are still people in Nanzhao. ”

"It's great if it can be used by my Great Liao Kingdom, if it can't be used for my Great Liao Kingdom, this kind of person should be eliminated as soon as possible, so as not to become a confidant of my Great Liao Empire in the future!" Chen Yankai seriously revealed a murderous aura that was completely incompatible with his identity and temperament. Chen Yankai's murderous intent was exposed at this moment.

"If it is really like what Mr. said, I intend to recruit this He Tengxiao, if these people can be used for my Great Liao Kingdom, it will be like a tiger for me." Wanyan Shengcong showed his thirst for talents, and said to Chen Yankai earnestly, "Mr. will go for me." ”
