But he came anyway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Opening the cell door, a group of jailers quickly knelt down: "See the emperor!" β
Jerman grunted, "Well, you all go out." β
It is not only those ministers who have a way to escape, but even these small fish and shrimp are also finding their own way out, a huge cell, and now there are only a dozen jailers. After the cell boss left with the people, Jerman Grunt slowly walked to Zhang Li's cell door.
He had a stomach to talk to others, but when it came to this time, he found that he didn't know where to start. He let out a sigh of exhaustion when he had removed his strong disguise, and leaned his whole body against the wooden fence of the cell, and sat limply on the ground along the wooden railing.
Zhang Li in the cell looked at him like this, and smiled: "What? You're about to lose, aren't you? β
Jerynne grunted and nodded decadently.
Zhang Li didn't have many surprises, nor did he laugh at him, but said: "I remember that the emperor said when he was alive that Chen Shimei is a difficult character to deal with, whether it is you or the emperor, it is not his opponent. β
The first emperor in Zhang Li's mouth is Liao Xingzong, and the emperor is Yelu Hongji. Because from the beginning to the end, Zhang Li never admitted Yelu Nghu.
"I'm doing whatever I can for the Khitan tomorrow, I'm trying my best to keep them alive and let the Liao Kingdom continue to exist on the grassland, but why do they start to leave me one by one?"
Jermane's grunting tone was a little desolate, and he really couldn't understand it. One of Zhang Li's legs was broken by Yelu Gollum, he dragged his body to the prison door, looked at Yelu Gou's face, and smiled: "Not everyone is willing to fight for the nation. Although I am locked up here by you, these jailers often talk about things outside. You know, including the cell boss just now, they are all asking how they can go to the south. You have no hope. β
JerΓΌne Gollum suddenly slammed his fist on the wooden fence: "I killed them!" β
Zhang Li snorted: "What else can you do besides killing them?" They don't understand politics or economics, they just want to earn more money every month so that their wives and children can have something to eat and not have to go hungry. Tell me, are they asking too much? β
Before Yelu Ne could answer, Zhang Li asked again: "This request is like when you are the emperor and want to make the country stable, they just want their family to live!" You're trying, but they don't see hope. β
The words that Yelune muttered to his lips were suppressed back by Zhang Li, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, this request was indeed not too much.
Zhang Li's tone became softer: "Don't blame them, the most attractive thing about them in the south is that they can live." They don't see hope in you, they will naturally go. They were afraid of death because he wanted to live for his family. β
Yelune said no more, Zhang Li stopped talking, and the two of them sat silently through a cell door. One was dressed in prisoner's clothes, and the other was dressed in the golden dragon robe. The mortals next to him looked at Yerune and purred, but no one said anything.
Originally, he still had many questions in his heart, but now, Yelune Gollum really felt that his whole person was much more comfortable.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Can you help me?" β
Zhang Li shook his head: "No." β
"Isn't it okay for the sake of Da Liao?"
"If the Queen Mother was in power at the beginning, you can assist the Queen Mother with me, and there is still hope for Da Liao. Now, even if I help you, there's really no way around it. β
Yelune didn't say anything more, he had already said what he should have said, fame and fortune, Zhang Li didn't care. After a while, Yelune Gollum suddenly made up his mind in his heart, turned his head to look at him, Zhang Li found that Yelune's eyes were actually full of that kind of perseverance, and he couldn't help but admire it a little in his heart. This young man is really very good, if Liao Xingzong directly handed over the position to him, Liao Guo would really be able to fight with the Song Dynasty.
"Well, you tell me, what do I do now!" A smile tugged at the corners of Jermane's mouth as she asked this. Zhang Li knew that he actually had a plan in his heart, and now he asked himself, just to be more determined.
"Take your people and fight! Wait any longer, and you won't even have this chance. β
Yelu Gurgling looked directly at Zhang Li: "That guy in Xiao Suli now has 180,000 people around him, commanded by Yelu Ning Arc, they were all my subordinates before, and they are well-equipped, the strength of the Song army is already beyond our challenge, let me fight?" Do you know that I might die? β
"Then you're going to die."
Zhang Li's answer was very happy: "You can choose to surrender now, but I don't want to see you do that, because you are the emperor of Daliao, and you must use your actions to leave something, hope, or courage for the Khitans in the future." β
Yelune's purring eyes became more and more hot, and Zhang Li knew that he had spoken to his heart: "At the beginning, Li Yuanhao also had such an opportunity, he could not have a party item and take his cavalry into the Great Song Dynasty, so maybe he could really get the peace of the Song Dynasty." The worst can also make the current party members have a trace of reverence for him. But Li Yuanhao was reluctant, he carried the heavy basket and walked hard, Chen Shimei was still adding stones to his basket, and finally, the extremely strong party king was exhausted to death. If you look at the current party items, how many people still remember Li Yuanhao? β
Yelu Ne grunted: "I think the same way, I will fight against the water, even if I die in battle, I will never let Chen Shimei arrange my fate." β
Zhang Li nodded, dragging the broken leg to the corner and leaning against it. Yelune watched him move his body with difficulty, and also stood up from the ground: "Won't you give me a ride?" β
Zhang Li lay there and clenched his fists: "Take care of the emperor!" When he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Yelune grunted and laughed, this was the first time Zhang Li called him the emperor! Strode out of the cell: "Someone! β
The guards and the jailers who were waiting outside the door immediately entered: "Hurrah, what are your orders?" β
Jermane's steps did not stop at all, and he walked quite resolutely: "Let everyone here go!" β
In September of the fourth year of Huangyou, the Liao Emperor Yelu Nie Gulu suddenly made an astonishing move, he raised all his troops and soldiers to divide into two routes, and suddenly killed him from Shangjing when the materials were not enough, the supplies were not enough, and even the strategic preparations were not enough.
130,000 people all the way, with Xiao Bin as the general, went south along Yong'an Mountain, and went straight to Fengzhou, Xiao Suli's old nest. The other route was led by Yelu Negolu himself, forcibly crossed the Huang River, passed through Yongzhou and Yong'an, and raided Zhongjing.
This really caught Chen Yuan off guard. In just three days, the territory recovered by Xiao Suli fell again, and those who carried the banner of rebellion against the tyranny of Yelu Negol were killed by Xiao Bin and retreated, during which those guys only ran backwards, and when they arrived in Fengzhou, the entire army was almost completely chaotic, and finally stabilized their position with the help of the Song army.
And the same is true of Yelu Gollum's way, the Song Dynasty's fine work did not send any news at all, because before Yelu Gollum sent out his troops, neither the army nor the materials found the phenomenon of assembly.
In the area of the Huang River, Yelune encountered 20,000 Rangers under Shosuri, and was routed in an hour. The Liao troops crossed the Huang River and slaughtered in the Yongzhou area.
The defenders of Yongzhou were weak, and the defenders did not dare to resist and abandoned the city and fled. Yelu Gollum conquered Yongzhou, and then sent light cavalry to raid overnight, and conquered the Yongan area in the early morning of the next day. The troops were pressed to the Shengzhou Prefecture, which was only more than 200 miles away from Zhongjing.
This is already the border area of the Great Song Dynasty, and the soldiers suddenly came, not to mention that the people of the Liao State who had just joined the Song Dynasty were frightened one by one, for fear of being retaliated by Yelu Niglu, that is, Chen Yuan was a little confused in his heart.
Chen Yuan sighed and threw a battle report on the table: "Yelune is crazy!" He's really crazy! β
Di Qing nodded: "It can be seen that he is only seeking a quick death now, and he doesn't want you to get him step by step." The army of 230,000 should be the limit of the strength he can use, and he can kill it without any preparation, Shimei, this battle will not work if it is not fought hard. β
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "It seems that I was forced too hard, if the rope was looser, it would be nice if the rope was looser." As a result, the cavalry of the Liao State will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and our subsequent plans will have to be completely changed, which will have a great impact on our plan to kill the Uighurs. β
Di Qing said: "Now is not the time to think about these, since he sent it, we have no reason to let him go, Shimei, we have 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry in Zhongjing, and the surrounding troops have begun to assemble, within ten days, we can gather 200,000 foot cavalry, and there will be no problems here in Zhongjing." β
"What about Toyoshu?"
"Don't worry, Wen Guang is there to preside over the overall situation, and the Liao people can't take advantage of the face-to-face military competition."
Chen Yuan nodded when he heard this: "Okay, people's fists have already been waved, we can't use our faces to block them." Brother Di Qing, I'll leave it to you how to fight. β
Di Qing had a plan in his chest: "Yelu Gollum's only hope is to break through Zhongjing before our troops are assembled, this is almost impossible, tomorrow I will lead the cavalry to meet his vanguard, thwart its sharpness, you lead the infantry to defend the city, remember, beware of the enemy deceiving the city." β
Chen Yuan also knew that Zhongjing City was a big city, not to mention that the combat effectiveness and weapons of the Song army had been greatly improved now, that is, in the past, there were 30,000 Song troops to defend, and it would take at least half a year for the Liao people to break through him, and it was very likely that Yelu Nie Gulu would send someone to cheat the city.
"Okay, the younger brother is here to wish the eldest brother success, make a meritorious contribution first, and leave the matter here to me, that's it."
