Chapter 948: Palace Tent Army
Yelu Hongji's words, no one dared to answer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In fact, everyone understands that even the most elite palace tent army is not much stronger than the "old soldiers" in Yelu Hongji's mouth. Some of the private armies of these tribes are even much more elite than the palace tent army. Even 300,000 people can't defeat the Dashun Forbidden Army, who dares to lead troops to fight?
The most terrible thing is that there don't seem to be many Khitan generals who can fight.
It's not that there are few generals who charge into battle, but there are too few generals who can lead the army and look at the overall situation.
Finally, there was a Yelu Renxian, and a few years ago, he died again. Could it be that he wanted to use his son Jerod Tart? This is what none of the Liao ministers want to see.
Yelu Hongji saw that none of these courtiers dared to speak, so angry that he almost rushed to the crown: "Zhang Xiaojie, you talk about it!" ”
A courtier who looked like a Han man came out and said: "The minister thinks that the Han army should always rely on demon law when they come." According to the report of the spies, the Han army's demon law will fail when it rains, and the minister thinks that he can fight with the Han army on a rainy day, and he will definitely win! ”
This Han is Zhang Xiaojie, he is a native of Yongba County, Liaojian Prefecture, and the first Jinshi in the Liao State Imperial Examination in the 24th year of Liao Xingzong's Chongxi. During the Qingning period of Liaodaozong, he was relocated to the privy councillor, and in the early years of Xianyong, he was the assassin of Huizhou, and soon resumed his old position, and he was also the secretary of the household department. In the third year of Xianyong, he visited the governor, knew the Privy Council, and was added as a waiter of the Ministry of Works. In the eighth year of Xianyong, he was named Chen Guogong and the prime minister of Qianbei Mansion, and he was favored and honored among the Han people, which is incomparable.
Zhang Xiaojie's visit to the prime minister, that is, the first two years. Yelu Hongji thought that Zhang Xiaojie was diligent and willing to work, and asked him many times about political affairs. Last autumn, Yeluhongki went hunting and shot 30 deer in one day. The officials who followed the banquet, Yelu Hongji ordered to make "Poems on the Clouds in the Sky", and ordered Zhang Xiaojie to sit next to the imperial couch, and Yelu Hongji recited "Huang Li's Poems": "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want." Zhang Xiaojie immediately played: "If it is peaceful today, what else does Your Majesty have to worry about?" Rich whole country, what else can Your Majesty ask for? Yeluhongki was very happy. Later, many ministers and attendants had a banquet with Yelu Hongji, and Yelu Hongji said: "The first emperor appointed Yelu Renxian and Yelu Huage because they were virtuous and intelligent. I have Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin, not under Yelu Renxian and Yelu Huage, but I really got talents. Just this sentence set Zhang Xiaojie's status.
Zhang Xiaojie is greedy by nature, and he is the most insatiable. According to folk legend, he once said at a banquet with his relatives: "Without a million taels of gold, it is not enough to be called the prime minister's house." There is also a rumor that Zhang Xiaojie was a scholar and the first, to the Buddhist temple to worship, suddenly a gust of wind blew Zhang Xiaojie's head away, blowing as high as the pagoda, fell to the ground and shattered, an old monk said: "This person will soon get rich, but will not get a good death." "I don't know if it's true or not, but it can be seen that the people of Liao State dislike Zhang Xiaojie.
In fact, in the Liao Kingdom, the proportion of Han people is definitely not small, and even more than half of them are in Linhuang Mansion.
The people disliked Zhang Xiaojie, firstly, because his Han people were willing to be ministers of the Liao State to deal with the Dashun State established by the Han people; The second is because he is also a Han Chinese, but he is the most ruthless one to suppress the Han people. It was also because of this that he was able to gain Yeluhongki's appreciation.
However, it cannot be denied that this person does have some ability, and can peel back the cocoon and see the fatal flaws of firearms.
Yelu Hongji nodded: "Yes, the Han demon law must use fire, and fire is afraid of water is a heavenly principle!" ”
At this time, Zhang Xiaojie's comrade Yelu Yixin came out to speak: "Your Majesty, since you know the death of the Han army, why don't you send troops to a decisive battle?" ”
Yelu Hongji is as good as flowing: "Which Qing family shares my worries?" ”
At this time, a slightly immature voice came out: "Father, my son is willing to share my father's worries!" ”
The ministers looked up and saw that it was the crown prince Yelujun who was standing at the front of everyone.
Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.
Being so smart as a prince is definitely the thing that traitors hate the most. You must know that Yelujun is not only skilled in arching and horses, but even the poetry and books of the Han people are better than ordinary people. It's just that Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin both know that Yelu Jun's city is very deep, and he is skilled in bowing and horses, but after the age of twelve, he will never show off in front of everyone. Even if everyone praises him, it is just to praise him for his outstanding literary talent.
It is precisely this city government that makes the traitors Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie taboo, and even often plots to get rid of them quickly.
It's just that Yelu Jun is deeply loved by Yelu Hongji, and he is the queen Xiao Guanyin's descendant, and his position is very stable, and no one can shake it.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin discussed that if they want to kill Yelujun, they must first kill Xiao Guanyin. Yelu Hongji is suspicious by nature, once Xiao Guanyin can't be trusted, then Yelu Jun will also be unbelieving. A prince who can't be trusted, isn't he at the mercy of these powerful ministers?
Although Yelu Jun is smart, he is still more than a little worse than Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin, and he is not aware of the sinister intentions of the two at all. You must know that he is only seventeen years old now, and at the age when Dashun has not yet reached the crown, how can he be the opponent of Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin, the two old foxes?
Now that Yelu Jun seems to be about to take power in the army, Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin both show deep concern. Zhang Xiaojie gave Yelu Yixin a look, and Yelu Yixin understood that Yelu Yixin must not be allowed to touch the military power. If he had the power of the army, their plots would have been complicated. Thinking of this, Yelu Yixin immediately stepped out and said: "The crown prince is the prince of the East Palace, how can he take such a big risk? If you let the capital palace envoy Jeruzara, the prefect Xiao Susa, and the guard Xiao Hu Gu Prince go on the expedition, what does Your Majesty think? ”
The palace envoy Yelu Sara, the prefect Xiao Susa, and the guard Xiao Hugu are the team of the crown prince Yelu Jun, no matter how stupid Yelu Jun is, they all understand Yelu Yixin's sinister intentions at this moment. He is borrowing a knife to kill people and using the Dashun Forbidden Army to disintegrate his own team! Yelu Jun immediately woke up and looked at Yelu Yixin with deep vigilance, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
Zhang Xiaojie looked at Ye Lujun's expression, and his heart was "groaning": "It's bad, he noticed it, this son is really hidden deeply!" ”
At this moment, Yelu Hongji's angry voice came out again: "What a bad idea! Who are the palace envoys Jerusara, the prefect Xiao Susa, and the guard Xiao Hugu? None of them have ever been in battle, how can they fight? ”
When Zhang Xiaojie heard this, he secretly scolded Yelu Yixin's stupid move, not only did he not succeed in killing people with a knife, but he made Yelu Jun take precautions, he really ate too much lard and blinded his heart! Such pig teammates simply can't conspire with them!
Yelu Yixin also came to his senses: "Your Majesty, the former son of Yu Yue, Yelu Tart, as well as Xiao Yuanlan, who rode the royal tent himself, Xiao Delit, the Xuanhui envoy of the Tongzhi North Court, Xiao Delit, the envoy of the Pai Yin Langjun, the privy envoy Yelu Yange, Xiao Dalugu, and Xiao Saba, the secretary of the Tongzhi Inspection, how about it?" ”
This is the instinct of a traitor, who, in the worst case, can still seek benefits for his own people. Yelu Tart Buye and Xiao Yuanlan are loyal royalists, and the latter few are Yelu Yixin's comrades. Putting them together is actually subtly making Yelu Hongji feel that these people are loyal to him.
Yelu Hongji carefully weighed it: "These people are not bad, but our side was defeated before, and their morale is low, so I have to take the lead in person!" ”
