Chapter 559: Leading the army out of the customs
Yang Yi made a generous speech at the reception banquet and took the initiative to ask for help, which made Yelu Ming in a dilemma, this Northern Expedition, worried that his troops were already thin, and if he was damaged again, I am afraid that even Nanjing Road would not be able to be saved. om
Yelu Yanxi's 300,000 elites have just been destroyed, and the blow to Yelu Minghu can be said to be deep in the bone marrow, and his courage is broken, can he enter the Northern Expedition with tens of thousands of himself?
But if he didn't go on the Northern Expedition, how would his officials and people think of him as an emperor? For example, the privy deputy envoy of the Northern Yuan, Yelu Die, has always advocated the Northern Expedition to recover the lost territory.
Yelu Ming used the excuse that the matter was important and had to be discussed with the ministers, so he temporarily postponed the past, and after the banquet, he immediately discussed the matter with Xiao Yi and other ministers.
Yelu Dieli naturally advocated the Northern Expedition, and Yelu Changyun, the marshal of the Fanhan Horse Infantry Army, also echoed it.
Xiao Fengxian, the king of the Southern Courtyard, and Li Chuwen talked about him left and right, trying not to express their position.
Yelu Mingyu had no choice but to ask Xiao Yidao: "King Yue, what do you think should be done in this matter?" ”
Xiao Yi muttered: "Your Majesty, it is reasonable to raise troops to recover Zhongjing and Shangjing, but Yang Yijin is too abnormal, although he is young, but he has always acted calmly, he is so active in asking for war, I am afraid that there are other plans, Your Majesty must not be careless." ”
Yelu Ming asked, "What does King Yue think Yang Yi is trying to do?" ”
"Yan Yun, if the minister's guess is right, the person Yang Yi is planning is the land of my Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures."
When Yelu Ming heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if what Yang Yi was trying to do was really only the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, as long as he could recover the lost territory of Daliao and destroy the Jin State that was aggressively entering, then everything would be easy to say.
Yelu Ming pondered and didn't answer, Yelu Die's stab sneered first: "King Yue is far-sighted, and he admires it, this official wants to ask King Yue, Yang Yi is now inviting himself to lead the Three Song Army to the Northern Expedition, and he wants to go to fight with the Jin Army, how is his move plotting against the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?" ”
Xiao Yi frowned and said: "This king can't figure out the trick of this matter for a while, but as the saying goes, if something goes wrong, it must be a demon, if Yang Yi has no plan, how can he be willing to take the initiative to face Yan Zonghan?" ”
"It turns out that King Yue can't figure it out, hmph, the official still thinks that the official can't figure it out. Your Majesty, no matter what Yang Yi wants, since he is going to face Yan Zonghan, let him go; Since he took the initiative to ask for battle, he was so eager for quick success, and His Majesty would let him take the lead at that time, he should have no reason to shirk, right? It is best to let him fight with Wanyan Zonghan to lose both, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman, take advantage of the Northern Expedition, and recover Zhongjing and Shangjing in one fell swoop. ”
Yelu Die's words can be said to have spoken to Yelu Ming's heart, if it can really be like this, it would be great, he looked at Xiao Yi again; Xiao Yi couldn't refute it for a while, as Yelu Dieli said, Yang Yi said so impassionedly at the banquet, let him take the lead at that time, if he prevaricates, he really can't say it, as long as it is an entry, he always has to open his skin, if he doesn't even talk about this superficial effort, then the Great Song Dynasty would have directly sent troops to capture the land of Yanyun.
This is also what Xiao Yi doesn't understand, Yang Yi, Yang Yi, what do you want?
I don't understand, but Yelu Mingwei is still waiting for him to answer, and he can't help but answer.
"Your Majesty, if you really want to go on the Northern Expedition, just the tens of thousands of horses in Nanjing Road, even if you add Yang Yi's 30,000 horses, it is still too thin, there are still 40,000 soldiers in Xijing Road now, Your Majesty can first order Xijing Road to transfer troops, and then raise troops to the Northern Expedition together, so it is more appropriate."
Xiao Yi always felt that it was not so simple for Yang Yi to take the initiative to ask Ying, but he didn't know what the problem was for a while, and forcibly stopping the Northern Expedition would make him fall into an isolated and passive predicament; Therefore, Xiao Yi can only use the usual procrastination trick to transfer the troops of Xijing Dao, which will take some time, maybe this time will be able to figure out what Yang Yi's plan is.
Xiao Fengxian, who had not spoken, suddenly said at this time: "Your Majesty, since you have decided to go on the Northern Expedition, you don't have to delay it for a long time, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Xijing Road, Your Majesty can order them to go to Guihuazhou, and we will finish attacking Yan Zonghan on both sides, we just need to insist that Yang Yi's 30,000 Song army take the lead." ”
As soon as Xiao Feng opened his mouth, Li Chuwen also said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that if Yang Yi really has any plans, can't we just plan it?" On the grounds of gathering a large army, let's first let Yang Yi 30,000 enter the horse and leave the customs, and engage Yan Zonghan, the gold thief, and wait for the two to be separated, and then our army will stop and stop, so that there will be no difference. ”
Yelu Dieli still seemed to have something to say, and the Liao lord Yelu Minghu had already made a decision and said: "Okay, just do what Li Xiang says." ”
So Huh, Yang Yi quickly received Yelu Mingyu's reply.
Yang Yi doesn't care, let's go out of the customs first, go for a few walks first, and get familiar with the terrain.
I don't believe how long you can drag it out, if you don't get out of the hole, I will eat you, just transfer the grain and grass of the 30,000 army, I will give you a headache, I will not go far, seeing that there is no food and grass, if you don't transport it, I will slip back.
Yang Yi readily agreed to go out of the customs first to meet the Jin army, which made Yelu Ming and others breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was much less suspicious of Yang Yi, and Xiao Yi was sneered at by Yelu Die's assassination again.
The 30,000 Song army was not slow, and after receiving Yelu Ming's reply, he immediately began to pull out the camp, Yang Yi called Ma Hanqing at this time, and asked quietly: "Han Qing, can you arrange to contact Wanyan Zonghan?" ”
Ma Hanqing immediately knew that Yang Yi was tired again, so he replied: "Da Jin, my subordinates don't dare to guarantee this matter immediately, but I don't think it's a big problem, Bi Jing and I have no grievances with Jin Guo before the Great Song Dynasty, and it should be possible to send someone in to meet Yan Zonghan." ”
"That's good, you can arrange for this matter to be done immediately, and tell Wanyan Zonghan that we are willing to cooperate with the Jin State to destroy the Liao State together, on the condition that after the Liao State is destroyed, a straight line will be drawn between Zhongjing and Mo Ge's lost department, and the south will belong to the Great Song Dynasty, and the north will belong to the Jin State."
"This ........." Ma Hanqing was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a while, Yang Yi is too ruthless, if this is the case, Wanyan Zonghan doesn't have to fight, not only that, but he also has to withdraw from a large area of Zhongjing Road, will he agree to enter the house, "Da Jin, I'm afraid of this"
"I'm afraid of what, don't I know that Jin Guo will not agree to such conditions? Let's ask for the price, let Yan Zonghan come to the ground to repay the money, this is just to delay Yan Zonghan for a few years, our purpose of destroying gold remains the same, let's go. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
As soon as the 30,000 Song army died, they pulled out the camp and marched north, not because Yang Yi deliberately delayed, but because he had to wait for Yelu Ming to send them to transfer grain and grass.
As the so-called three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, now I don't want you to go first, but we can't let us go first hungry, right?
The army first crossed the Gaoliang River to the east, which was the Gaoliang River overturned by the 200,000 army of Song Taizong, crossed the Gaoliang River, and arrived at Luxian, which was later Tongzhou, and then turned north, passed through Huairou and passed through Shunzhou.
In a moment, the army marched out of a hundred miles, and when it arrived at Niulan Mountain and camped, the army suddenly chased hundreds of horsemen behind, and a heroic female general in front of him came straight to Yang Yi's handsome banner.
To be honest, Yang Yi has always remembered her, but at this time he didn't want to see her, he was not a grass and tree, and after a long time, he had no feelings for Yelutri at all, and Yang Yi was naturally happy to see her safe and sound.
But now he is calculating the Liao State, and he really doesn't want to be entangled between love and hatred.
Yelutri was blocked by the Song soldiers and could not get close, Yang Yi saw it in his eyes, so he rode his horse to meet him.
"Eldest princess, why are you here?"
"Let me enter the camp first, I have something to tell you."
Yelutri sat on the horse, without the slightest expression on his face, despite this, the surrounding Song soldiers heard the conversation between the two of them, and learned that this beautiful but heroic woman was the eldest princess, and they couldn't help but show strange expressions, and the expressions clearly expressed four words: suspected of adultery.
Yang Yi turned a blind eye to the strange expressions of the soldiers, and said calmly, "Eldest Princess, please." ”
When the two of them entered the tent, Yerutri immediately asked, "What do you want?" ”
"Terry, what do you mean by that?" Yang Yi frowned slightly.
"Are you really helping me Da Liao?" Yerutri stared at Yang Yi's eyes tightly, as if trying to find even the slightest fluctuation in them.
But she was disappointed, Yang Yi looked at her calmly and said: "Before the siege of Shangjing, I let you in and persuaded you to leave the city, but the reward I got was not to persuade you, do you know how worried I am about you?" ”
"I am the eldest princess of the Great Liao Princess, thinking about it, in the end, under the anger of the imperial uncle, I still abandoned the city and fled, and the words of generosity could not be spoken.
"No matter what, if you can escape, I'll rest assured, it's too late today, you stay in the camp for the night, you will go back to Beijing early tomorrow, I want to lead the army out of the customs to meet Yan Zonghan, march and fight, and you can't leave women in the army."
"You don't come to this set, don't think I don't know, when you conquered Hexi, the generals around you were women."
"Terry, don't talk nonsense, although Mu Lanhua is a daughter, she is the commander of my Song army, this is different."
"This princess is also the general of my Liao army now, and she led five hundred horses to fight with you, what's the difference?"
"I said it's different, it's different, you don't mess around, you have to understand, I'm helping you Liao now."
"This is exactly what I want to ask you, are you really helping me Da Liao?"
After Yang Yi sat back on the low table, he said lightly: "The eldest princess ........."
"Call me Terry!" The eldest princess of Yue Kingdom immediately interrupted him.
"Terry, since you don't believe that I am helping the Liao State, I will lead the army back to the Great Song Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty."
"I say goodbye."
Yang Yi almost didn't choke to death, and they all said that the intuition of the woman was very smart, could it be that Yelutri really felt something?
"Terry, you're not an ignorant girl, are you sensible, I'll lead the army to assist the Liao State to quell the rebellion, this is a major event between the two countries, how can it be equated with child's play? If you mess around again, don't blame me for turning your face. ”
"Whatever, in short, with this princess's understanding of you, you can't afford to enter early, it is absolutely impossible for you to send troops to help me Da Liao in vain, and let you lead the army to quell the rebellion, but you are driving the tiger in the front and leading the wolf in the back."
Yang Yi choked again, and had to admit that Yelutri's words were in every word
