Yelu Chongyuan is not convinced, and leading troops to fight is indeed not his specialty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe next battle in Youzhou City has already dispersed his sharp qi like a white cloud on the edge of the sky encountering a violent wind, and it is gone. The embarrassment of that night, even if it was nearly a year, once I dreamed of it, I would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.
The overwhelming offensive of the Dashun army was unforgiving, and the ferocity of the horse attack on the camp still made their father and son's legs weak in retrospect. If it weren't for Xiao Feng's desperate rescue, I'm afraid Yelu Chongyuan would have become a prisoner of the Shun army. At that time, I don't know what kind of price Dashun's insidious little emperor will have to offer in order to let them go back to Liao.
However, this also made the hatred in Yelu Chongyuan's heart even worse: "If I hadn't been blind back then and helped you Lao Tzu ascend to the throne, this throne would be mine." I was also blinded by lard, so I gave up the throne. You kid, how dare you be so rude to me? ”
The emperor of the Liao State is not only hereditary, but also has a brother-in-law inheritance. Yelu Chongyuan was originally the second son of Liao Shengzong, and he could also inherit the throne. After the death of Liao Shengzong, his mother Xiao Yunjin was the regent and plotted to establish Chongyuan as the emperor, but he informed his brother Yelu Zongzhen (Liao Xingzong), which made Yelu Zongzhen furious, and abolished Xiao Yunjin to Qingling to guard the tomb, and Yelu Zongzhen and named Chongyuan as the emperor's younger brother. Later, when Yelu Zongzhen was drunk, he promised to pass on the throne to him after death, and Yelu Chongyuan knew that his tribe was weak and could not confront his brother, so he did not take it to heart. Soon, Yelu Hongji of Liaodao Sect ascended the throne, and named Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's uncle and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, who could be exempted from worshipping the emperor, and was given gold coupons, four hats and two-color robes, which was the highest preferential treatment in the clan.
At this time, Yelu Chongyuan looked at this nephew more and more unpleasantly. If he hadn't helped Yelu Zongzhen ascend to the throne, where would there be Yelu Hongji today? In contrast, Yelu Hongji is too much of a Yelu Zongzhen, and during the reign of Yelu Zongzhen, where was he too soft on the great obedience? Every year, the grass valley is full of loads, so that the Han people in the south dare not stay in the Youyun area for a long time. During the 24 years of the reign of Liao Xingzong, the Han people in the Youyun area continued to flee, and the loss of more than 60 percent of the population was due to Liao Xingzong.
And what did this kid Yelu Hongji do after he took the throne? If it weren't for the old minister Xiao Xulie who led his troops south every year and barely obtained winter supplies, the Liao State would have been unsustainable. If it weren't for the opening of the mutual market with Dashun this year, I am afraid that the mistakes of the previous year would have been repeated, the Liao State was lifeless throughout the winter, and the Khitan nobles were spending time drinking.
Yelu Chongyuan regarded the opening of the mutual market as his own credit, which was exchanged for the lives of his tribe's warriors. Of the 100,000 troops, those who can escape alive are not left with five. Those who were captured by Dashun, according to the merchant Jia, were sent to the mines to work as free laborers. He paid such a big sacrifice in exchange for the prosperity of the Liao State, and Yelu Hongji, this kid, what did he pay?
What's even more infuriating is that he knows that he Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Yixin don't deal with each other, just like two enemies in their previous lives, they look like they're going to fight when they meet. But he repeatedly leaned towards Yelu Yixin, wasn't it because he was afraid of him? Previously, he was "exiled" to the northeast to guard against the Jurchens. In fact, Yelu Chongyuan didn't know that this was a knife to kill people, and he used the birth of a girl to consume his strength?
Now, Yelu Hongji saw that his tribe had suffered too many casualties, and he was embarrassed to persecute too much. Now let him go back to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing. Where in the world is there such a thing, seeing that he has no use value, he kicks it away? In addition, he was succeeded by Xiao Xulie, the prime minister of Beifu, who fell into the hands of the old fox who only had money and silver in his eyes, and the Northeast that he had been operating for many years would not even have any residue left!
This is really bearable, who is unbearable! Don't say that your uncle can't bear it, even your aunt can't bear it! Taking away people's wealth is like killing parents, Yelu Chongyuan's wealth is cut off, and this is not on the table. Yelu Chongyuan saw that Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Yixin were in cahoots, so he was angry, and after saying the sentence "Minister's Decree", he brushed his sleeves and walked out of the Kaihuang Palace, leaving a cadre of Liao ministers who looked at each other.
Yelu Chongyuan explained his contribution to the Liao State from his own perspective. But he wouldn't have thought that if he hadn't been defeated, how would the Liao State compromise with Dashun? Liao's oppression of Dashun came to an end on him, Yelu Hongji did not blame him for his magnanimity, where did he get the confidence to question Yelu Hongji?
Seeing this, Yelu Yixin immediately complained for his master: "Your Majesty, you see that this imperial uncle is too presumptuous, right?" Could it be that just because he is the emperor's uncle, he dares to be disrespectful to His Majesty? ”
Yelu Hongji is in a bad mood, and he has always been afraid of Yelu Chongyuan. But after all, it's a member of my own family, where can I let outsiders talk about it? Hearing what his henchman Yelu Yixin said, he said a little unhappily: "The imperial uncle was given by me, and he was exempted from worship when he saw me, and he had a golden coupon with him, and he came to open the imperial palace and political affairs, which is already to give me face." You too, knowing that Uncle Huang lost that battle, but you just exposed his wounds, how could Uncle Huang swallow this breath? That's it, you're also a businessman, and I don't care about it. You go back and think about it, when you understand what you are wrong, then go to court. ”
But he said that Yelu Chongyuan walked out of the Kaihuang Palace with his sleeves in his sleeves, and he secretly regretted that he had done things a little bit, and he simply didn't give Yelu Hongji face. Even if there is a rebellion, but the traces are too heavy, doesn't it make Yelu Hongji wary?
But now it's useless to regret it, the thing has been done, and only by continuing to behave without the city government can Yelu Hongji let go of his guard against him, and he will have a chance to replace him.
He returned to his mansion in Linhuang Mansion with a heavy heart, and as soon as he entered the mansion gate, before he reached the hall, his son Jelu Nerugu was summoned by him to discuss secret matters. After the two of them entered the study, they let the soldiers of the middle tent surround them before they dared to start talking.
As soon as Yelu Chongyuan told him what happened in the Kaihuang Palace today, Yelu Nerugu said angrily: "This traitor deceives people too much! Father, it's better to do the opposite, right? ”
Yelu Chongyuan hated the iron and said with a grudge: "Confused! My tribe's sons have just been defeated and lost, and their vitality has not recovered, so what can they oppose? With our little strength, can we beat the royal tent cavalry, the guard army, and the palace tent army of Yelu Hongji? That royal tent is only 10,000 people, which is enough to kill tens of thousands of sons and daughters of my tribe to the point that people are on their backs! Not to mention, there are twenty or thirty thousand people riding in this royal tent! ”
Yelu Nerugu also knew the power of the royal tent's personal ride, and that Xiao Feng was also a member of the royal tent's personal horse. Although not everyone is as brave as Xiao Feng, it is not far behind. The royal tent is to guard the Khitan emperor or the queen mother's palace tent of the personal guard of the imperial forest, the members of this army are all Khitans, composed of one in a thousand miles, directly under the emperor's tribal strong men. The officers were appointed by the emperor or the empress dowager personally, and were entirely from the imperial Yelu clan and the descendant Xiao clan. The senior officers were all from the Yelu clan in order to ensure absolute loyalty to the emperor. In the early days of the founding of the country, the Khitan population was small, and the selection of soldiers was extremely strict, so the total strength of the imperial tent cavalry always hovered around 20,000, but they were all elite soldiers among the elite soldiers. As the population grew, the Imperial Tent began to exceed 30,000 men, and although its combat effectiveness decreased slightly, it was not something that the warriors of other tribes could compete with. And Yelu Chongyuan's tribe has always been known for not being good at fighting formations, and they dare not hit stones with eggs.
