At this time, it is March of the fourth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, in the twilight of spring, the warbler **** is long, and the flowers are blooming. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If it is changed in the past, the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi will be in a good mood, he likes to shoot and hunt, in such weather, riding on the prairie, under the accompaniment of the horse-head qin, singing happy love songs......

It's just that this year, he has completely lost this interest, and he has no spare time.

There was a gloomy cloud in the Liao army, and the Liao people who fled with Yelu Yanxi were all depressed, and the Khitan nobles who spoke roughly on weekdays also whispered at this time.

No one thought that in the icy and snowy December, the Jin people would suddenly launch an attack, and although the Liao people organized several resistances, they still failed to survive March.

The root cause of the army's lack of will to fight is that the Liao State is financially bankrupt.

After a series of battles, the various tribes no longer had any surplus livestock, and the only surplus was Nanjing Dao, which seized a large amount of supplies from the Song people, so that Yeluchun and Yelu Dashi had enough food and ordnance in their hands. Therefore, when the Liao army collapsed due to hunger and cold, Yelu Yanxi vetoed the proposal to flee westward and came to Yanjing instead.

In his words, Yanjing has the solidity of the Great Wall, even if it is abandoned outside the fortress, it can also be taken back from the Song State.

And the reason why his ministers and tribes did not completely abandon him is also here, Yelu Dashi defeated Tong Guan in the battle, which became a shot in the arm and life-saving medicine of the Liao State, and all the Liao magnates regarded the Song State as hope. They even planned to seize the entire land of Hebei and Hedong, so that the north could use the danger of the Great Wall to block the Jin Kingdom, the south could use the Yellow River to isolate the Song people, and the Liao State could survive in the land of Hebei and Hedong.

However, Xiao Fengxian was very opposed to this, because he knew that when he arrived in Yanjing, Yelu Chun and Yelu Dashi held military power, and it was impossible for him to control the government as before. The first achievement of the Jun brothers was not beheaded, but it was for the sake of the queen and the concubine, and the king could go by himself, and he should not say anything more. ”

This remark frightened Xiao Fengxian, and he and his brother Xiao Sixian led their relatives to go to the Jin State in reverse, and were captured by the remnants of the Liao State, and the remnants of the soldiers directly killed their brothers.

"Uncle Huang has worked hard, Da Shi Linya, you have worked hard too."

Looking back at the mountains behind him, Yelu Yanxi calmed down a little, and then looked at Yelu Chun, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi in front of him, he was very emotional, stepped forward quickly, and helped the three people who were about to salute up.

Yelu Chun and Xiao Gan were in tears, while Yelu Dashi was eyes flashing, hidden and hidden.

"I mistakenly believe in traitors, make the country like this, I am ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, pass on my will, and take the emperor's uncle as the emperor's uncle, if I have an accident, the uncle should be on the throne." Yelu Yanxi Road.

Hearing this, the surrounding ministers were stunned, and Yelu Chun was even more shocked, and hurriedly bowed down again, but was supported by Yelu Yanxi again: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to be like this, I am sincere, now that the country is in turmoil, I need a person like Uncle Huang to be the mainstay." ”

He turned to Xiao Gan again: "Qing is already the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, and I have nothing to reward now, only the title, with Qing as the privy envoy of the North to add political orders, and military and political affairs, the Qing can participate in the decision." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiao Gan to thank him, he looked at Yelu Dashi again and sighed: "If Da Shi Linya was born ten years early, how could my Da Liao have today's defeat...... With Yelu Dashi as the Southern Privy Council Envoy and Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, the Governor of Nanjing Road. ”

Yelu Dashi didn't expect that his official position would rise so quickly!

In the Great Liao, although the Southern Privy Council is not as good as the Northern Court, but it is also the position above the people under the emperor, and now Liao has lost Shangjing and Zhongjing, Nanjing Road is half of its country, and the generalissimo of soldiers and horses is to learn the temporary military position set up by the Song people, Yelu Yanxi's order is to give him the civil and military power of the entire Great Liao!

Rao is he was dissatisfied with Yelu Yanxi's dimness and misinterpretation of the country, and at this time, he couldn't help but be enthusiastic: "The minister will not disgrace his mission!" ”

At this time, Yelu Dashi, among the nobles of the Liao State, is indeed a young man who has sprung up, and around Yelu Yanxi, all the high-ranking officials and magnates, although they are jealous or envious, but there are no dissatisfied.

After all, in the past few years, Yelu Dashi's exploits can be said to be the only shining point that has supported Daliao to this day, and his achievements in Japan and Nanjing Province are indeed convincing.

What's more, everyone knows that there is only one empty shelf left in Daliao at this time, and it is not a good thing to take over all the military and political power at this time.

In the middle of a few words, Yelu Yanxi calmed down Yelu Chun, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi, and when everyone walked into the gate of Yanjing City together, the rest of the magnates were shocked to realize that the performance of the Great Liao Tianzi was not as dim as usual!

With Yelu Yanxi came to Nanjing Road, there were eighty or ninety thousand horses, most of them crowded into Yanjing City, as soon as they entered, they shouted loudly, after a long-distance escape, everyone needed their own means of venting, to dispel the fear in their hearts.

As a result, there were many conflicts between the new arrivals and the old residents.

Yelu Yanxi didn't pay any attention to this, and after he entered the city, he seemed to disappear, handing over all the power to Yelu Chun and Yelu Dashi, as if he really had absolute trust in them.

In the past few days, Yelu Dashi has been busy appeasing the contradictions between the "new man" and the "old man", and these things have made him anxious and his lips are foaming.

Unbeknownst to him, someone was watching his actions with a cold eye.

Pharmacist Guo!

At the beginning, the Jurchens swept through Liaodong, extremely brutal, those Han people who did not leave with Zhou Quan were displaced and fled into Jinzhou, and the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi ordered Yelu Chun to recruit him as a soldier and formed a Han people-based army, called the "resentment army". This absurd name was chosen to "raise eternal grudges" and seek revenge from the Jurchens. At this time, the number of resentful troops was not large, but more than 28,000 people.

Later, Zhou Quan crisscrossed Nanjing Road, and many Han people took refuge, but some people were slaves of Liao for generations, and they were suspicious of Zhou Quan, so they fled to the north, left their hometowns, and were reorganized by Yeluchun to be young and strong. After Yelu Dashi defeated Tong Guan, it turned out that many people in the Hebei Forbidden Army of the Great Song Dynasty surrendered to the Liao State and were also incorporated into the resentment army, so up to now, the number of resentful troops has swelled sharply, reaching nearly 80,000 people, becoming one of the most important military forces of the Liao State. The Liao people divided it into eight battalions, in order to facilitate the jurisdiction and win the hearts of the people, the chief general of the battalions of the resentment army, Qu Shuai, nominally still used the Han people, like Guo Yaoshi, but under it, the Khitan people were the supervising army, and in fact held the military power.

Guo Yaoshi and Ma Zhi did not know each other, but at the beginning of the formation of the resentful army, Ma Zhi sent people to infiltrate it and began to hook up with Guo Yaoshi.

After the initial chaos, Yanjing City was quiet, and Pharmacist Guo had been silent, but someone invited him to drink and meet.

It was his colleagues who invited him to drink.

In the eighth battalion of the resentful army, Guo Yaoshi is only one of the Qu Shuai, and his general Qu Shuai such as Zhang Linghui, Zhao Heshou, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, etc., everyone has a similar background and is in the same situation.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone inevitably discussed these people who fled from Shangjing Zhongjing, blaming them for being unruly, or having their own outer rooms robbed by them, or having their own children and nephews beating them, and so on.

Pharmacist Guo just drank and ate food, and didn't say a word.

Originally, everyone had a heated discussion, and they were all complaining, but if he didn't speak, some people felt curious.

"Pharmacist, why don't you speak?" Zhang Linghui was the first to ask.

Pharmacist Guo shook his head, and Liu Shunren sneered: "What, are you afraid of Pharmacist?" ”

Everyone spoke excitedly, and Pharmacist Guo sighed helplessly: "You know, this banquet, we have one less meal." ”

"Oh, why do you say that?" The crowd was amazed.

"The Son of Heaven is hunting in the south, have you counted the number of soldiers and horses you bring?"

"After calculation, they only came south with 70,000 or 80,000 people, and if you put aside those who made up the numbers, there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses at most." Zhen Wuchen said.

"Yes, plus the Khitan people here in Yanjing, the total number is only 80,000, and the number of resentful troops in the hands of a few of us is 80,000, plus the militia Xiangyong, there are always more than 100,000 Han troops. 80,000 Khitan troops, more than 100,000 Han troops...... Do you think we're going to be suspicious? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down, and after a while, Zhao Heshou hesitated and said: "When employing people at this time, it won't be like this, right?" ”

"It is precisely because this is the occasion of employing people, so we can feast here, you don't know, someone suggested to the northern privy envoy, saying that we and other grievances against the army, originally set up for the preparation of the Jurchens, but did not fight with the Jurchens, but repeatedly complained against the Great Liao, suggesting that we should be taken down in one fell swoop, take advantage of my disarming, cover up and kill, in order to prevent future troubles."

Guo Yaoshi was not alarmist, but sure that someone had made this suggestion, but this suggestion was vetoed by Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi, and the person who made the suggestion was even scolded. But this point, Pharmacist Guo will not mention.

When the generals heard this, they were all shocked and angry.

The resentful army fled from Liaodong to Jinzhou, where they mutinied several times because of supply treatment and discrimination, but after retreating to Yanjing, they never rebelled again. But after all, the generals have this kind of black history, of course, they are afraid of turning over old accounts!

"Moreover, I heard that in order to resist the Jurchens, the imperial court is preparing to change the resentful army into a victorious army, transfer the elite, supplement it to the Khitan generals, and then transfer it to the north of the Great Wall. When the forces in our hands are exhausted, it will be the day when we will be conferred the head, so I advise you not to say more, but to eat more, for after a while, you will not be able to eat. ”

Pharmacist Guo's seemingly sad, but actually provocative words, made everyone even more angry. The generals gritted their teeth, and then Zhen Wuchen patted the case: "Damn, it's the other way around...... Isn't it the Great Song Dynasty in the south, our subordinates, isn't there the original Great Song Hebei Forbidden Army, let's go to the Great Song Dynasty instead, as long as there are soldiers in hand, I'm afraid we can't continue to eat and drink spicy? ”

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!" Everyone shouted one after another, but their eyes moved left and right, monitoring each other. (To be continued.) )
