Chapter 572: Surrendered to Song by Order
Hearing that Yelu Yanxi, the lord of Liao, and Yelu Chun, the king of Zheng, were captured by the black thorn Mali, Yang Yi couldn't help frowning.\\
Yang Yi has a Yelu Ming in his hand, and he wants to use him again to seek Xijing Dao; Now it's tantamount to killing halfway out of the way to bite the gold.
Obviously, Wulu Mari is also using Yelu Yanxi to seek Xijing Road, and now the war has burned to the Sheep Milk River, which is only 700 miles away from Xijing Datong Mansion.
Seven hundred miles seems to be a long way away, but it should be noted that this is not in the Jiangnan water town, let alone the Lingnan in the Maoshu jungle. This is the grassland, if the cavalry rushes at full speed, it will be able to reach the city of Datong in two days at most.
When Yang Yi went on the expedition, he used the channel of the staff hall to communicate with Zhang Qi, who was also an expert in playing conspiracy, and appreciated Yang Yi's battle plan very much, so the Hedong side has not moved so far, waiting for Yang Yi to swallow Nanjing Road, and then seek to take Xijing Road.
But people are not as good as heaven, and now Spur Mali is the first to point to Xijing Road, and there are two trump cards in his hands, Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Chun.
Although Yelu Yanxi was nominally demoted to the king of Xiangyin by Yelu Ming, after all, he was appointed by the ancestor Yelu Hongji and officially ascended the throne in Shangjing.
As long as the spur Mali pushes him out, the officials and soldiers of the Liao State will have to have a lot of scruples, and now that the mountains and rivers of the Liao State are broken, and the country will fall, it is not surprising that the officials and troops of Xijing Province will give up resistance under the persuasion of Yelu Yanxi.
If this is the case, Xijing Dao will have to fall into the hands of Spur Mali, which will cause serious damage to the battle plan formulated by Yang Yi. It can even be said that he was slapped in the face.
Yang Yi asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Jingluo must have also received the news over there, what arrangements did Zhang Jingluo make?" ”
The news came from the Hedong Group, and it was naturally impossible for Zhang Kai not to know about this change.
It's just how he will react, this is what Yang Yi cares about.
Now that Yang Yi's own resignation has been handed in, and the court has not yet sent a message, it is difficult for Yang Yi to make any major military action, otherwise it will appear that his resignation is very insincere.
Then send troops from Gubeikou to the west, this distance is too far, and it is too late, and now we can only count on Zhang Kai to respond in time. Protect the Xijing area from being severely damaged by the war.
Ma Hanqing clenched his fists and replied: "My lord, Zhang Jingluo has ordered General Zhi Keshi to be the main general, and General Miao Zhi is the deputy, and a total of 40,000 troops will be led north out of Yanmen Pass, ready to forcibly seize Xijing Datong Mansion, but it lacks the name of righteousness, and I am afraid that it will be resisted by the Liao army along the way......"
Ma Hanqing's concerns are very reasonable, Yang Yi and Tang Shiyuan on Nanjing Road are unimpeded, and they have been invited by Yelu Mingyu. Otherwise, if you attack city by city, it won't be difficult. There will also be a long delay in time;
There is another point that is more important, that is, Yang Yi and Tang Shi came from far north, and they were all provided by Yelu Mingwei, and they did not need to carry them, so they were naturally extremely fast.
Now that they have to bring logistics, and if they want to attack the city along the way, regardless of the destruction of Xijing Road, I am afraid that it will not be faster than Spur Mali in terms of time alone.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi immediately said, "Han Qing." You immediately go and invite Yelu Mingyu and the eldest princess of Yue Kingdom, and I have something to discuss with them. ”
"Whoa!"
Yelu Mingyu and the eldest princess of Yue Kingdom were soon invited to Yang Yi's big tent, Yelu Minghu was quite self-aware, knowing that he was like an ant now, if Yang Yi didn't like it, he would die if he pinched it casually;
So he didn't even dare to call himself 'I'. Shi Li asked first, "Scholar Yang, I don't know what to call me here." ”
The military situation was urgent, and Yang Yi didn't bother to be polite to him, so he spread out the marching map and pointed to Broken Cloud Ridge and said, "Your Majesty." The foreign official just received the news that Yelu Daqing, the general of Xijing, should be ordered by His Majesty to lead 25,000 men and horses from Xijing to Jieyunling, where they encountered the rebels of Wuspur Mali;
What's more important is that the Spur Mali captured the King of Xiangyin, and ordered the King of Xiangyin to persuade him to surrender in front of the battle, which made the Yelu Daqing army very confused, and was chased and killed by the Spur Mali all the way, with heavy losses, and retreated to the Goat's Milk River to temporarily stabilize his foothold. ”
Listening to Yang Yi's words, Yelu Ming's expression darkened slightly, but he didn't react much, in his opinion, it was only a matter of time before the entire territory of Liao Kingdom fell, and now what does all this have to do with him, whether his life can be saved is not yet known, and even if he can be saved, he will probably only be a prisoner in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.
The eldest princess of Yue was very anxious, Yang Yi had promised her not to let the Liao Kingdom perish, and now besides Yang Yi, who else could she count on, she didn't even dare to play a temper with Yang Yi anymore, because the fate of the Liao Kingdom was in Yang Yi's hands;
She said in a pleading tone, "Can't you send troops to save Xijing Dao?" Now that Nanjing Dao is controlled by you, I know that your Great Song Dynasty has long been eyeing Yan Yun, and it is impossible for you to return Da Liao to me, and I also admit this;
I only ask you to help me keep Xijing Road, if you can ensure the survival of my Great Liao Kingdom, in the future, my Liao Kingdom is willing to only keep Xijing Road, and please be attached to the Song State, and the rest of the territory will be ceded to you Song State............"
"Terry, you should understand that the Liao State is actually dead now, and your Great Liao's Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, Zhongjing Dading Mansion, and Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion have all been occupied by the Jin State;
As you said, Nanjing Dao and my Great Song Dynasty will not give up, and the remaining Xijing Datong Mansion is about to be occupied by the Spur Mali, and Terry must face such a fact. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"I just want to tell you the fact that Liao no longer has the qualifications to negotiate conditions with others, which is cruel to you, but this is a fact."
Yes, what Yang Yi said is good, what qualifications does Liao have to negotiate conditions with others now? She sat down dejectedly and murmured, "Didn't you promise me?" Didn't you promise me to keep my Great Liao Guozuo? You promised me ......"
"I can still promise you this, but it requires your cooperation."
The eldest princess of Yue Guo and Yelu Mingqi suddenly raised their spirits again, anxiously waiting for his next step.
Yang Yi said: "It is impossible for Xijing Dao to be left to you, even if I agree. My Great Song Dynasty court will not agree, Terry You want to keep the Great Liao Kingdom Zuo is not difficult, but this requires you and Your Majesty to cooperate with us, please Your Majesty immediately give me a will, let the officials of Xijing Province cooperate with my Hedong army to fight against the Spur Mali, and ............. afterwards"
Yang Yi said this, and his finger stroked on the marching map, east to Hulunbuir, west to the Altai Mountains. It is connected to Xijing Road in the south, that is, the area of Erenhot in the later generations, and Yang Yi demarcated this area, which is roughly equivalent to the territory of Mongolia in the later generations, but Yang Yi in the north is not restricted;
He pointed to the demarcated area and said: "As long as the Liao State is willing to be a vassal of my Great Song Dynasty and cooperate with my Great Song Dynasty to control Xijing Road, my Great Song Dynasty will assign this large piece of land to you to re-establish the country and continue the Great Liao State Zuo, and you have no conditions to talk about." If you don't cooperate, you won't have anything in the future. The Liao State has since perished. ”
Because there is no restriction in the north, the land carved out by Yang Yi is very large, but now most of these places are still uninhabited areas, and some are only small tribes that fish and hunt for a living;
With such a vast area and no actual value at present, the Great Song Dynasty will take over the governance now, and the gains outweigh the losses;
The Khitans are more civilized, so it is better to let them develop first, and after the development is done, the Great Song Dynasty will find a reason to merge and come back.
Yelu Mingyu and the eldest princess of Yue Kingdom couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Yang Yi's words. According to Yang Yi's meaning, it was to drive the Liao State to the wilderness.
In her heart, the eldest princess of Yue Guo is always difficult to accept for a while.
The eldest princess of Yue Guo begged: "We don't want anything else, can you return Shangjing Road to me Da Liaoxing, the place south of Shangjing Road, go and get it from you, when I beg you." ”
Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Terry." Why don't you understand, according to what my Great Song Dynasty meant, I won't support you to re-establish the country at all, and directly let the Liao State perish and clean things up. I see that Terry's face is the only way to help you re-establish the country, you must understand that I am not alone in the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, I can do this far, I have done my best. ”
Yelu Mingwei, who was already desperate, didn't think so, and he happily asked, "Is what Scholar Yang said true?" ”
Yang Yi deliberately said coldly: "Your Majesty, this is just my promise to Terry, if she is unwilling, then forget it." ”
Yang Yi's meaning is equivalent to saying, this is actually nothing to do with you Yelu Ming, I am just a favor for the eldest princess of Yue Kingdom.
This can make Yelu Ming anxious, and going to Mobei to be a king is 10,000 times better for him than going to Tokyo to be a prisoner;
Now Yang Yi seemed to promise to take off the moon in the sky and give it to him, and when he saw it, he said that it had nothing to do with him, didn't he want his life?
Yelu Minghu almost didn't kneel down for Yelutri, begging her to agree quickly, Yelutri sighed faintly, she also knew in her heart that now as Yang Yi said, they were not qualified to bargain with Da Song at all;
If she can really get the help of the Great Song Dynasty and keep the Khitan Kingdom from extinction, this is already a very fortunate thing, what else can she ask for?
Yelu Minghu happily wrote down a holy decree, stamped it with his big seal, and then handed it to Yang Yi, who immediately asked Ma Hanqing to send it to Xijing Road quickly.
Don't underestimate this holy decree, but this is where the name of righteousness lies.
Previously, the officials of Xijing Province had recognized Yelu Minghu as the emperor of the Great Liao, and now although Yelu Minghui was defeated and Nanjing Dao was actually controlled by the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has not yet announced the occupation of Nanjing Dao, and still supports Yelu Minghui as the emperor, that is to say, Yelu Minghui is still the emperor of Liao.
With his holy purpose, the resistance of the Xijing Provincial officials against the army of Zhe Keshi would definitely be much weaker.
It is conceivable that there must be many officials in Xijing Province who are willing to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, for them, being an official in the Liao State is to do, and being an official in the Song State will only be more comfortable, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is now strong and prosperous, and the welfare of officials is so good.
They just have one less excuse not to be saddled with the infamy of treason;
Now with the holy decree of Yelu Ming, they are equivalent to being ordered to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and they no longer have to bear the notoriety of treason, and they no longer have any burden in their hearts.
