Chapter 949: Good news spreads
In fact, Yelu Hongji was also forced to do so, and he knew the combat effectiveness of the palace tent army, and he did not have much advantage compared with the private army of the tribe. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the private army of the tribe has been defeated, and the palace tent army can please it? Only when he drove the expedition in person and boosted morale could he fight to the death with the Dashun forbidden army. His original plan was right, using the Dashun Forbidden Army, by the way, to kill the huge tribal private army, even if he didn't kill it, he would make them suffer a lot of damage. It's just that those princes and nobles are too slippery, and they don't have the courage to die at all, and they only killed and injured tens of thousands of people, and then fled desperately.
In this way, Yelu Hongji did not get any benefits, and even the morale of the Liao army was seriously suppressed, and he had to use the means of imperial driving and personal conquest to boost morale.
"Royal Driver?!"
Zhang Xiaojie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”
Yelu Hongji frowned: "Why not?" ”
"Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, 'the son of a thousand gold, he can't sit in the hall', Mencius also said: 'If it is not fate, obey it, so those who know their fate do not stand under the rock wall.'" Those who die in their own way are righteous; Shackling the dead is not the right fate. 'How can such a virtuous person, Your Majesty, go through the perils of battle?' Zhang Xiaojie persuaded bitterly.
Yelu Yixin was also worried, if there was a good one in Yelu Hongji, their fate would definitely not be much better. The reason why a traitor can become a traitor is not because of how great his ability is, but because he has great power. The source of power is nothing more than to deceive the king and steal power. Once this emperor is gone, the fate of the traitors will be a bit miserable. Of course, it is not absolute, if this traitor is a military general, I am afraid that he will have to change the dynasty, just like Cao Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
But the problem is that Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie are a bit of private soldiers, but these private soldiers are not even enough for 10,000 people, how can they save themselves in this treacherous court?
Thinking of this, Yelu Yixin also came out to advise: "Your Majesty, if you don't let the king of the North and South Courtyards lead the troops, why bother to take risks yourself?" ”
Although Yelu Hongji is a political mess and does not know anyone, he still has some vision in military affairs: "I have made great achievements to Taizu, which battle did not personally charge ahead?" Taizu's children and grandchildren, how can they be cowardly and cowardly! Moreover, the Han army had already passed Raozhou, and the troops would soon come to the city. Although Linhuang Mansion is the strongest city in my Great Liao, how long can it hold on? ”
The Khitans are not good at defending the city, this is one thing that everyone knows. What's more, the Han people also have demon methods, which have the power to split the sky and the earth, and break the earth. It is estimated that it is not enough for a bombardment.
Yelu Hongji knew that the Han people had such a demon method a few years ago, and he knew better that this was not a demon law, but a powerful weapon, which the Han people called "artillery". It was under the attack of artillery that Dashun only took one year to destroy the country in Jiaozhi. According to intelligence, the Han artillery has the ability to be indestructible, and if the city is defended, it will definitely be the end of the city.
Yelu Hongji has been secretly on guard for a long time, and the reason why he has repeatedly provoked Dashun is also to create a feeling that he is strong from the outside and strong from the middle. The gist is: Do you see it, I'm still very strong, don't mess with me! Annoyed me, I went south, desperately south!
It's a pity that he and Lu Chengqi are not on the same channel.
For Lu Chengqi, you came to fight Caogu before, because Dashun's strength was not good, and if you fight, you will fight, remember the blood debt. But now Dashun is stronger than you, and you still don't know whether to live or die, so who is to blame? Without a word, I will send a large army to fight you!
In fact, there are two paths in front of Yelu Hongji, one is to abandon Linhuang Mansion and conduct highly mobile guerrilla warfare like Liao Taizu. The Han people did not have enough horses, and even if they had powerful weapons, they were helpless to find them. But in this way, it is necessary to give up Shangjing, which has been operating for more than 100 years, Yelu Hongji is willing, and the ministers of Liao, princes and nobles are also reluctant! In this way, you can only choose the second way and fight to the end.
The second way also has advantages, once the more than 400,000 forbidden troops are defeated, the elite of Dashun will immediately go halfway, and they will definitely turn to attack and defend. At that time, as long as the Liao State wanted to go south, it could go south at any time. In addition to being passively beaten, Dashun can no longer spare troops for a decisive battle. There have been so many battles in the Shunliao War, except for those battles more than a hundred years ago, when the Liao State lost very badly, it has almost never been defeated. This also increased Yelu Hongji's confidence, after all, fighting a war depends on people, no matter how strong the weapon is, the soldiers are not good, can they win?
Yelu Hongji saw that Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin still wanted to persuade again, so he suddenly turned together: "Hugh wants to persuade again!" The Privy Council, immediately raise troops, gather 400,000 palace tent troops, I want to fight to the death with that Han dog! ”
Seeing that Yelu Hongji had already made a decision, Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin could only swallow the bitter fruit.
They didn't expect that they would squeeze out the crown prince Yelu Jun, but they put Yelu Hongji, the emperor, into it. You must know that if this is the case, they would rather go along with Yelujun and let Yelujun fight with the Dashun Forbidden Army, which is not a bad move to kill people with a knife.
Hunting geese all day long, but today I was blinded by geese peck!
It's too late to regret it!
Dashun Jingzhao Mansion, in Chang'an City.
At the sound of horses' hooves, the people consciously leaned aside and stopped to watch.
"The Northern Expedition Army, destroy the Liao army on the bank of the Musk River, and capture the Liao Dynasty to stay in the king!"
A shout came from afar.
Unlike military secrets, good news is meant to boost the mood of the people and can be read out in public.
Only military secrets must be sealed with fire paint, packed into wooden boxes, and delivered to the capital.
Therefore, the people of Chang'an also came to a rule, but whenever there is an urgent report from Pegasus, they can judge whether it is a good thing or a bad thing without speaking.
If it's a good thing, Pegasus will report it and report it along the street.
If something bad happens, Pegasus Rush has a gloomy face and doesn't say a word.
In fact, since the Northern Expedition of the Great Army for more than a month, Dashun has been tightening that string up and down. If this battle is lost, it will really hurt the muscles and bones. 400,000 horses, excluding 100,000 auxiliaries, there are still 300,000 soldiers. If all these forces are defeated, won't the Han people always be suppressed by the Khitans?
At this time, the good news suddenly spread, and the people of Chang'an were stunned one by one: "Won? ”
After coming straight for a long time, when Pegasus hurriedly reported that it had crossed the royal street, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting farther away, they suddenly burst out into an extremely enthusiastic cheer: "Victory, victory!" Long live Your Majesty, long live Da Shun! ”
The people of Chang'an began to run to tell each other, and many people cried with joy.
This is a day when the Han people finally took off the hat of "weak and bulliable" for many years and raised their eyebrows.
"Singing during the day must be indulged in wine", the business of the restaurant exploded again. Whether they knew each other or not, they all sat at a table and toasted the forbidden army and the imperial court. Collusion on the back, tears glistening.
It's not that the Han people are bloodless, it's just that they are suppressed bloody. You must know that most of the forbidden troops are local soldiers in Jingzhao Mansion. There are many chivalrous warriors in Qindi, and it has always been a place of martial arts. A place where martial arts have been suppressed like this, which shows how far the civilian clique has suppressed the martial arts!
