The speed at which Liao sent troops is no country in the world today. Yelu Hongji, the pen "Fun" Pavilion, issued a holy decree www.biquge.info the next day, and the palace tent army outside the Linhuang Mansion was already ready.

In the early morning, the autumn wind is crisp, and the wolves are hunting. Surrounded by the guards and pro-army, Yelu Hongji rode a pure-blooded Ili horse, and went straight out of the palace to the outside of the capital. And outside the city, a whole 100,000 palace tent troops, black and oppressive, surrounded outside the gate of Shangjing City. When they saw Yelu Hongji come out, they all shouted "Long live." Yelu Hongji likes this feeling of being called "long live" by the mountain, which is no worse than the night and night spring supper, and even a little fluttering.

He rode his horse and galloped past, cheering everywhere he went. This greatly satisfied his vanity, and he said in his heart: "The little emperor who wants to come to the Central Plains, when he sees such a scene, he will be so frightened that he will soften his feet and can't ride a horse, right?" No, where can that weak Han man ride a horse? ”

After the horse ran to the umbrella, Yelu Hongji sent the order and headed for Taizi Mountain. And the accompanying civil and military officials, among them are the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan, the king of Chu and other parties in the list. Yelu Hongji caught a glimpse of the imperial uncle's expression, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. However, the king of Chu, Yelu Nerugu, seemed to be very uneasy, and always looked impatient, and seemed to be very impatient.

Seeing this, Yelu Hongji didn't have any doubts. Yelu Neru is still martial, and it is normal to want to go to Taizi Mountain quickly; Yelu Chongyuan has never liked this kind of hunting, and it is normal that he has no expression.

Taizi Mountain is eight miles away from the Luanhe River, more than 600 miles away from Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, and it is almost to the border of Shunliao. After more than 100 miles, it is where the Great Wall of Dashun is located. Generally speaking, with the Great Wall as the boundary, it is the Shunliao border. Once the Liao State crossed the Great Wall, it was an invasion. Once Dashun crossed the Great Wall, it was also an invasion of the Liao State. But this has not been tried for more than 80 years. After the founding of the country by Dashun, after dozens of battles with the Liao State, the two countries established a border with the Great Wall as the boundary. After several years of tentative attacks, the Liao State finally attacked Dashun blatantly under the premise of a year of heavy snowstorms and obtained winter supplies. Since then, the Khitans have been unscrupulous towards the Han Chinese......

This lasted for almost a nail until last year, when it was reversed. Yelu Chongyuan, a military straw bale, automatically asked for help and wanted to make a contribution. Unexpectedly, the camp was attacked by the Han army, which led to a big defeat and loss, and even the prince was captured. Later, the peace talks with Liao and the opening of the field made the Liao State have winter materials, so there is no need to fight grass and valleys. Shunliao relations began to enter a period of relaxation.

Judging from the map, Taizi Mountain is only more than 300 miles away from the two sides. This is a relatively safe place, not to mention that there are 100,000 cavalry following, why fear the Han people?

Yeluhongji admits that he had thought a little too much about it before. thought that in the territory of Liao, Dashun would not take the initiative to attack, and only a few thousand people would need to accompany him. Unexpectedly, Yeluliang told the informant, and Xiao Tzuli persuaded him, so he brought an army of 100,000 with half a doubt. Now it seems that this is really not a loss. If Dashun does not abide by the peace agreement and brazenly sends troops, it will only be more than 100 miles, and the Dashun border army will not be able to gallop overnight. Shunliao's century-old grievances, how can they be reconciled with a peace agreement? In case Yelu Hongji has three long and two short, wouldn't it be cheap for nothing, the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan?

Yelu Hongji, who looked at the map, found that he was really thinking a little too simply. Just as the Liao State will also send spies to Dashun, since the little emperor of Dashun took power, the Supervision Department was established, and in less than two years, a lot of spies have been sent to the Liao State. He decided to hunt Taizi Mountain, I'm afraid it has been reported back to Dashun yesterday, right?

To go to Taizi Mountain, at the speed at this moment, it must take seven or eight days. In this way, it has taken nearly ten days. Besides, I don't know how long the hunting in Taizi Mountain will take, even if it only takes six or seven days, it will be enough for half a month. For such a long time, who can guarantee that Dashun will not attack suddenly?

Yelu Hongji was too worried, if Dashun's border army was so powerful, it would not have been pressed and beaten by the Liao State for more than 60 years. The border troops stationed at the border have never sought merit, but they have no fault, which general has such courage and dares to send troops without authorization?

Yelu Hongji thought a lot along the way, looked back frequently, and found that the emperor's uncle, father and son, looked more and more suspicious. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "The monarchs and ministers of Dashun work together, why do I have more internal friction in Daliao?" If this continues, no matter how strong the national strength is, it will be exhausted...... I hope that this time I will hunt a big insect, lie down and taste the courage for three years, and then try to attack the Central Plains! ”

The Khitan people's coveting of the rich land of the Central Plains has never stopped. The output of the sixteen states of Youyun alone has fed the Liao State for more than sixty years. If the entire Central Plains is conquered, how strong will the Liao State be?

Just when Yelu Hongji was imagining the future, a carrier pigeon flew through the mountains and rivers, flew all the way from the Youyun border to Jingzhao Mansion, and landed in the compound of the Supervision Department in Chang'an City.

"Head, there's a secret report!"

An inspector who looked like a small leader of the Supervision Department, after catching the carrier pigeon, took down the letter tied to the pigeon's leg and walked to Xu Jingchun's study.

Xu Jingchun took the small bamboo tube with the words "Youyun" written on it, opened it with a "bang", and took out the secret report. After a look, Deng Shi said: "Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to face the saint!" ”

Now the carrier pigeon transmission is not yet mature, and the use of such a valuable carrier pigeon to transmit the book must be a major piece of information. The inspector didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "Prepare the car quickly!" ”

The Supervision Department is a very busy yamen, and there are not many people who have to go out every day. is qualified to go out in a carriage, only Xu Jingchun is alone. After Xu Jingchun jumped into the carriage, the carriage ran in the direction of the palace.

Le Quan, the second-in-command of the Supervision Department, happened to see this scene, and came out of the main hall and asked, "Where is the director, so anxious?" ”

The Overseer said, "Go and face the saint......

There was a complicated look on Le Quan's face: "What's the matter?" ”

"Who knows, I just got a secret report from Youyun and went out......" The overseer patted his body, as if he was afraid of getting pigeon feathers.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and Le Quan muttered: "Is there another war?" ”

The overseer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "This is impossible, unless the Khitans are crazy." If you annoy Your Majesty and close the field, the Khitans will not be allowed to cry? Hey, Deputy Secretary Le, you don't know, one of my relatives is doing business with the Khitans, and in the past two months alone, he has made nearly a thousand yuan. He secretly bought good horses, sold them to the horse herder, and quadrupled the proceeds. You say, now the Khitans are supported by our merchants in Dashun, does he dare to go to war?
