Chapter 126: Wisdom is the Middle
In order to avoid revealing his identity, Huang Luo's umbrella cover and a guard of honor were thrown in place, Yelu Xiuge let people carry and kill Zhao Guangyi's Chinese army camp, but saw that Zhao Kuangyin was gone, at this time the Song army's Chinese army camp was no one to command and dispatch, all the soldiers and horses lost their leadership, each fighting for itself, and suddenly fell into chaos, some desperately fought out of the encirclement and went north, trying to meet with the Song army under Youzhou City, some went south, and some did not distinguish between southeast and northwest, Seeing which direction the enemy is scarce, rush out first.
In order to expand the results of the battle in this situation, the Liao army could only pursue and kill the Song army as much as possible. The Song army under Youzhou City learned that Shengshang was ambushed, and the life and death were unknown, and the soldiers of the three armies went their separate ways, and they couldn't help but be shocked. Several generals hurriedly discussed, knowing that it was impossible to continue the siege in this situation, and one would be surrounded by the Liao army if he was not careful, and all of them would be annihilated under the city of Youzhou, so he immediately decided to withdraw his troops immediately, retreating all the way to the south, and at the same time looking for the whereabouts of the saint.
At this time, the defenders in Youzhou City have learned the news, and immediately waved their troops out of the city, and joined forces with the reinforcements outside the city, the Song army was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of troops fell into the water, and the speed was not much better than the current power and advanced all the way north.
Zhao Guangyi came full of ambition, and once he missed, he fell into the tragic situation of a total rout, and the reputation of his painstaking management was ruined.
On the high slope on the outskirts of Anci City, looking at the clear-cut team in the distance, seeing that its retreat was quite orderly, it was difficult to carry out a surprise attack, Yelu Huge, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, couldn't help but sit up in surprise on the carriage and asked: "Which way is this, report quickly." ”
Liu Zhen, the general of the Liao State who had just failed in the pursuit and returned with a loss of troops, said ashamedly: "General, this group of people is Li Jilong's department of the Song army,
"Li Jilong, Li Jilong......"
Brother Yelu repeated it twice, and said lightly: "It's really rare to be defeated without being defeated." ”
Yelu Hugo naturally understands that once he embarks on the road of escape, the most difficult thing is not whether the generals can still stay sober, but that they are no longer able to restrain the defeated soldiers, and can maintain such a strict military appearance, so that the enemy has no chance to take advantage of the retreat, not only does he need to be absolutely calm on the battlefield, but also his prestige and command and dispatch ability to command the three armies in peacetime must also reach a considerable height, and he must be absolutely supported by the soldiers, so that he can have such an effect at this critical moment. Such an opponent is by no means easy to fight.
Yelu Hugh thought for a while, and then said: "This man who fought against the water, and the decisive battle with it, the loss will be heavy, the Song army came from the north more than 3≮ thousand, and now they are fleeing back to the Song realm, you can abandon this road soldiers and horses, make more killings, and pass the order, and the chasing soldiers from all walks of life will move closer to the direction of Gu'an, and intercept and kill other Song soldiers and horses." ”
As soon as Yelu Huge's voice fell, someone came to report: "Report, general, the enemy of the Song army Luoke retreated to the Xiaoqing River in Gu'an, and suddenly returned to kill, and the heir of the Wei Wang court hurriedly chased after him, just in the middle of the crossing, resulting in a big defeat, the king of Wei was hit by an arrow, and he was rushed to Gu'an City for treatment, and now his life and death are unknown."
"Rokqueg! Hehe, there is a Li Jilong in front of him, there is a Luo Ke enemy in Gu'an, there are many famous generals in the Song army, if it weren't for Zhao Guangyi's self-proclaimed wisdom and like to personally command the battle, I'm afraid we may not have a great victory in the Gaoliang River. ”
Yelu Xiuge muttered in a s·1 poem, and ordered: "The Song State has brazenly tore up the treaty and invaded our Daliao, and now in the event of a big defeat, the Queen Mother will have a will, and will order us to raise troops to the south, and order all troops and horses not to entangle with the Luo Ke enemy and Li Jilong's troops, and try to kill and injure the Song army as much as possible, so as to create an opportunity for our southern invasion." ”
Yelu Hugo only hates that he is now seriously injured, inconvenient to move, and can't compete with Luo and Li, he is chasing all kinds of soldiers and horses under the cliff, whether it is the management of the army, compared to these two people are obviously a step behind, let them have to gnaw these two hard bones, it is better to avoid them, to the Song army to deal a heavy blow, no matter how brave the generals, there must be soldiers available, these 300,000 Song troops are all well-trained Jīng soldiers, eat one more piece, will inevitably create a great opportunity for the next operation.
Now that the Song army is being pursued, Yelu Hugo has begun to think about the next move, this Li Jilong in front of him, and the Luo Ke enemy in Gu'an, he believes that in the next battle, in the battle on the territory of the Song State, they will have a chance to meet again. These are two opponents worth fighting, and he's going to defeat them with his own hands!
The news of Youzhou's victory has been reported to Beijing, and Xiao Xuan, who has a heart in his heart, heard the good news, and his heart suddenly let go. The entire Shangjing City is boiling, people cheering, including the people of the Han District in Nancheng, whether the country is surnamed Zhao or Yelu, whether it is a Song flag or a Liao flag, it doesn't matter to them, the people of Pingtou, this is the land that gave birth to them, they just hope that they can live a peaceful and happy life, and now the war will not extend to Shangjing, everyone is rejoicing, as if it is the New Year.
For a time, he wisely solved the siege of Youzhou, broke the 300,000 Song army, and killed the emperor of the Song State who fled in panic. The streets and alleys are telling his heroic deeds, describing him as wise and martial, invincible, and simply the first general in the history of the Liao Kingdom, who has never been seen before or since, and is in the limelight.
"That's not it, General Yelu Huge, that's the first good man in our Liao Yelu clan today. Youzhou was besieged, and the seven-way reinforcements were defeated all the way, and they didn't taste a victory, but our general Yelu Hugo was successful. Just killed the Jurchen and Mur Wei, and immediately killed the Song people. ”
"This time the general came back, and he got a reward again, right?"
"Of course, I heard that the Queen Mother wants to crown General Yelu Xiuge as greater than Yue, greater than Yue, that is the first person under the emperor of our Great Liao Kingdom, if it is not a great meritorious, it will not be rewarded, calculated, this is greater than the position of Yue, how many years have been vacant, and now only General Yelu Xiuge can get this official position. This is the highest position above the civil and military officials. ”
"I remember that Emperor Taizu of our Great Liao Dynasty worshiped for his great military exploits back then
Greater than the post of Yue, and later in this position by Zen called the emperor, this is our great Liao country, since then counted, it seems that no one has ever been greater than Yue, what do you mean by the Queen Mother? Will it be ......?"
"Don't talk nonsense, although General Hugh Ge is also a royal family, but the Queen Mother has a son and has already been called the emperor, what
What could possibly? ”
The atmosphere of the Liao State is more relaxed than that of the Song State, and the scholars, literati, peddlers, and pawns of the Song State eat a few glasses of wine, and when their eyes and ears are hot, they will also pull out the national affairs, and the officials will pull out the ministers to nag and nag, and they are not surprised, but in the Liao State, it is even more casual, and the crazy talk on the wine table is just a matter of chatting, and no one will report and investigate. However, it is speculated that the Queen Mother has the intention of giving up the throne, after all, she still has some scruples, and someone next to her immediately spoke out to dissuade her.
This one was really a little drunk, and said disapprerovingly: "Then what's not possible, the Yelu clan is our Daliao royal family, and the current emperor is young, can he sit firmly in this country and control the tigers and wolves?" It has to be made by a figure like General Jeruxiugo. Besides, I didn't say that the Queen Mother intended to Zen.
"And you mean?"
"The Queen Mother is young and beautiful, General Yelu is in her prime, and the Queen Mother is not Qi because of General Yelu's great merits, she married him, and General Yelu assisted the emperor as a father......"
"Drink too much, don't drink too much, don't look at Brother Yelu Xiu to be young, the seniority can be high, that is the grandson of Lord Yelu Shilu, the king of Sui, the brother of Liao Taizu, the son of Lord Yelu Wansi of the Southern Courtyard, when it comes to the road, General Yelu Xiuge should be the great-ancestor of the current emperor, so calculated, who is the queen mother? You're too far behind in your life. ”
"How can we have so many stinky rules, sons, stepfathers, concubines, uncles and nieces, there are ancient customs
Yes. In the past few years, the Han people who have learned those stinky problems. ”
The more Yunren talked, the more unbelievable it became, but it wasn't too ridiculous and outrageous, who knows if the Queen Mother really meant this, a beautiful widow in her early twenties, she was the Queen Mother, and she was also a woman, so she didn't think about men? This person was persuaded away by his friends who were eating and drinking with him, but as soon as this topic opened, the three or five friends at each table couldn't help but talk about it.
The two wine men staggered out of the restaurant, walked not far away, looked around, saw no one following, the two of them shrank their necks, and went into a small alley against the cold wind.
A big mansion, across the courtyard at the back, as soon as you enter the courtyard gate, the drunkenness on the faces of the two people disappears. After entering the room and drinking two cups of strong tea, the eyes of the two became clearer.
"Number two, does this trick work? We are upright men, and we can't fight with swords, guns, swords, and halberds
He, playing tricks, can he avenge the blood of our Baigan tribe?"
The other person's eyes narrowed, and he took a deep sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Old Seven, don't be unconvinced, the second brother has been instructed by a master." ”
Lao Qi snorted and said, "Xiao Xuan has always trusted Brother Yelu Xiu. This time, it was Yelu Hugo who tried his best to save the situation, and with a little slander, I am afraid that he will not be moved. ”
The second brother smiled proudly: "What you said is bad again, the Han people have an allusion, called Zeng's mother suspected her son, which is about a person with the same name as Zeng Shen, a student of Sage Kong, who killed someone, and someone went to tell his mother that his son killed someone." Of course, the great-mother didn't believe it, but after a while, someone came to tell her that her son had killed someone. When the third person came, Great-Mother was frightened and jumped over the wall to escape.
Hehehe, old seven, Xiao Xuan trusts Yelu Hugh again, can he catch up with his mother trusting her son? One person says she doesn't believe it, two people say she doesn't believe it, what if a thousand people and 100,000 people say so? Besides, now that a little doll is the emperor, will you be convinced when you are a member of the Yelu clan? Now Yelu Huge's reputation is unmatched, as soon as this rumor comes out, naturally someone will fight his idea, no matter how loyal he is Yelu Huge, he can't stand a group of ill-intentioned people to come to him, Xiao Xuan has a lot of ears and eyes, once she hears something, then Yelu Xiuge will be yellow mud and fall into the crotch of his pants, either is. Throughout the ages, how many loyal ministers and famous generals who the enemy can't defeat have been destroyed in this one word, and Yelu Hugo can't make a big mistake? ”
Lao Qi leaned up to him and said in a low voice: "You also know that Xiao Xuan has a lot of ears and eyes? Do you still remember that year, Yeluxian's soldiers besieged the capital? Whoever talks nonsense is ...... whether you mean it or not."
His hand went down heavily, and the second brother smiled again: Old Seven, I said that this method is clever, and it is clever here. What was preached at that time? It is rumored that the emperor has been seriously injured and died, and she can do you a demagoguery to the army. But what about this time? Our buddies, just to get started, and then don't show up, naturally there are those people who are extremely bored, and the more they make up this rumor, the more they spread, the more realistic it becomes. Xiao Xuan's girl, no matter how annoyed she is, she still can't get angry, what is the big guy preaching? It's Yelu Hugh's merit that is higher than the sky, and he is the first good man in my Daliao, how can she kill her? As soon as there is a murderer here, Yelu Hugh will have to make a plan in his heart, hehe, this dumb person is a loss, she is determined. ”
The second brother cocked Erlang's legs, squinted his eyes, and said coldly as if there was a needle-like light flashing in his eyes: "If Brother Yelu Xiu is available, it will be the sharpest knife for our revenge." If Brother Yelu Xiu is not available, hum, when Xiao Xuan's slut and Brother Yelu Xiu's monarchs and ministers turn against each other, there will naturally be people who can't help the loneliness to jump out and make trouble. I, Bai Ganbu, will be buried in the hands of this pair of monarchs and ministers, this blood sea of deep hatred, we will definitely be able to revenge!"
When the wind was cold in the north, Yazhou was still lush and lush, and there was a chūn light.
"Zhuya Scenic Shuinan Village, the door of the forest under the mountain. When the parrot is dyed, the coconut knots, and the Peng partridge cries where the bamboo gives birth to grandchildren. There is no bazaar for the fish and salt family, and there are sake lees in the year of Hexi. Far away guests come to live with quinoa, but they suspect that their background is in Taoyuan......"
Towering kapok opens
With flaming flowers, green trees, thin bamboos, flowers and fruits, the distant river turns around and reluctantly flows into the sea. The fishing sails on the sea are picturesque, and it seems to be a fairyland on earth. Lu Duosun looked out of the window and chanted a poem, but the corners of his mouth showed a bitter smile.
Is this really a paradise? No, it's definitely not in his heart, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, he will get tired of seeing this unchanged scenery for a long time, but the harassing mosquitoes and flies, the hard and difficult life, every rì adds new despair to people's hearts. He was involved in the prince's rebellion, took away his official position and three generations of gifts, and the whole family was assigned to Yazhou, even if the amnesty was not within the limit, this has already pronounced his "death sentence".
He had pinned his hopes on Zhao Guangyi to remember his hard work in serving the king and could pardon him, but the letter on the note was never followed, but he heard about the personnel changes in the DPRK and China, and he had already changed beyond recognition, he knew that in this life, don't say that he will never be able to step on that person's ministers and scoop the peak again, re-appreciate the joy of power, and never return to his hometown, he will die of old age here, buried in a different place.
Lu Duoxun's old eyes couldn't help but moisten, and at this moment, the door opened suddenly, and his grandson Lu Youyuan ran in quickly: "Grandpa, grandpa, there is an old man visiting." ”
"What? Old friend? Ludosun was amazed, who would come to see him in a place where such a bird doesn't? Who still remembers him? Lu Duoxun lifted his robe, walked quickly to greet him, and when he arrived at the door, he realized that he was so forgetful, and he had lost his identity, so he hurriedly stopped, stabilized his mood, and walked out slowly.
As soon as he saw the person, Lu Duosun was stunned, this person was an old man in a black robe and white beard, who looked like a god and a tough body, but ...... With Ludoson's ability to read and remember people, he believed that he had never met this man. The old man seemed to know that as soon as he saw him, he would know that he was lying, and he smiled slightly, and without saying much, he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it respectfully with both hands.
After all, Lu Duoxun had been a prime minister for a time, and he had seen the big men in the world, so he was only slightly stunned, "But he didn't show surprise, he glanced at the old man in black robe and white beard, took the letter silently, and opened it in the courtyard. With just one glance, Lu Duosun couldn't control it anymore, his fingers shook, and he cried out in a lost voice: "King Qi? This...... This ......"
The black-robed and white-bearded old man smiled and said, "The villain Gu Da is here on the orders of His Royal Highness King Qi. At the end of this letter, there is the seal of His Royal Highness King Qi as evidence, and with Lu Xiang's eyesight, he can see the truth and falsehood. ”
King Qi!" Lu Duoxun naturally knew that Zhao Defang was crowned King of Qi, and it was only after that that he was demoted and assigned to Sanya, and he could never be released. A quick look at the end of the letter, the seal of the king of Naqi is indeed true, Lu Duosun has been in charge of government affairs for a long time, and he is very clear about the regulations, fonts, patterns, and secret notes of various seals, and of course he can see the authenticity of the fake.
He knew that King Qi had been taken captive and killed by gangsters, but how could there be a letter from King Qi now?
Letter delivered?
Lu Duosun vaguely understood something in his heart, but he didn't seem to understand anything, and the only reaction he made was to subconsciously hold the letter up, hold it tightly in his hand, and put it in his sleeve, hurriedly turned back and walked to his bedroom and study, and said in a deep voice: "You come with me!"
When Lu Duosun instructed his grandson to guard the door, he and the "old man" hid in the room, and hurriedly read the letter, in the land of Liuzhou, Sichuan, the founding prime minister Zhao Pu was pacing heavily in his humble study.
This or every chance to make a comeback, his protégés are all over the world, and once it is done, "there are many, many things that can be done for His Royal Highness King Qi, enough for him to regain his position at the peak of the people, but...... This risk...... Is it worth the risk? King Qi, do you have that ability?
Zhao Ku's heart is hard to decide, he once put the yellow robe on a person, so that from a secretary of the army, he became the prime minister of a big country above 10,000 people under one person, and laid his glory and reputation in history. He really wanted to get out of here, but after all, he was old, and he no longer had the courage of his youth. He already has a family and a job, and he has children and grandchildren, and this is dangerous...... Is it worth the risk?
He still held the letter in his palm, the paper had already been blurred by the sweat of his palm, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he still clutched it tightly, as if he wanted to draw some strength from it.
It's hard, looking from the window, it's dusk again, and it's probably another sleepless night.
"What should I do?" Zhao Pu didn't think of those national righteousness, the society and the country, and he had always been committed in his heart, just the rewards and risks of going out of the mountain, at this time, looking at the half-hidden sunset, staring for a long time, a layer of tears overflowed in the cloudy old eyes, from the blood, he seemed to vaguely see Zhao Kuangyin, very strange, he was not wearing a dragon robe, that dress, or the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty was checked. Hand hit.
"He was dressed in military uniform, and he was full of energy, and he was ...... He is young, I am also young, he is the commander of the army, I am the secretary of the army, he is his father's son, his brother. He often came to my house to eat and drink, and he called my wife his sister-in-law......"
Thinking stupidly, two lines of cloudy tears flowed down unconsciously, wetting his clothes.
Zhao Kuangyin respects him, belittles him and suppresses him, and the grievances and grievances of his life have faded, and what he remembers now in his heart is only the brother who called him eldest brother, called his wife and sister-in-law, and often came to the house to eat and drink.
The sun set, but Zhao Pu's heart suddenly brightened.
At this time, Pan Mei and Cao Bin, the former ministers who fell in the Great Purge, also coincidentally received a secret letter, and the shocking "Zhao Jiongyu" was about to be revealed to the world.
