Chapter 26 Crisis War and Undecided
Taiji Hall is magnificent, under the towering dragon pillar, is the gilded white marble steps, there are a few people standing under the steps, Wu Song looked fixedly, among them is his father-in-law Yelu Dashi, his rough and bold face is a little anxious at this time, such as Zhang Lin and other literati are whispering, a look of panic all day long.
Wu Song let out a "chuckle" in his heart, and faintly predicted something. But his face was calm, he strode forward and bowed, "The minister Yelusong pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor Tianxi, and the minister is delayed due to the matter, and he hopes to forgive his sins." ”
Yelu Chun saw Wu Song, and his frowning white eyebrows stretched slightly, "It's okay, Yelu Aiqing enters the palace, Gonggong Wu, Li Xiang doesn't know what's going on, he hasn't come for so long?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Song, who was walking forward, paused, but his face returned to calm and continued to walk forward.
That Gonggong Wu was the eunuch who led Wu Song in, he peeked at Yelu Dashi, as if he had gotten some hint, and replied with a whisk in his hand, "Your Majesty, Li Xiang entered the palace the day before yesterday and was mistakenly admitted by the palace tent army, and he was injured by mistake, and he is now recuperating in the palace and cannot come to discuss matters." ”
"What?" Yelu Chun showed an anxious look, "How can the palace guards be so bold, Yelu Aiqing, as the commander of the palace tent army, you must punish those people well, Zhang Xiang, you go to see Li Xiang on my behalf, if necessary, you can send my imperial doctor to heal." ”
The two said yes at the same time, Wu Song peeked at Emperor Tianxi, and found that although his expression was eager, his eyes were erratic, and he seemed to be in a hurry, but it was not necessarily Li Chuwen who was worried.
Wu Song came to Yelu Dashi, and after greeting his father-in-law, he stood on the right side of the main hall, there are not many courtiers in the main hall, there are only eight people, in the Taiji Hall lined up in two columns, the leader on the left is Zhang Lin, and there are four old men behind, although Wu Song does not recognize, but also knows that it should be the nobles of Northern Liao, but from their cloudy eyes and the anxious look on their faces, it should be just lying on the merit book, and their ambitions have been consumed by the leisure life.
The leader on the right is Xiao Gan, a strong man, followed by Yelu Dashi, and then Wu Song, a total of three people, implying left and right martial arts.
Seeing that the people were basically there, Yelu Chun said in a loud voice, "Aiqing, you must be wondering why I am in such a hurry to summon you here, some of you may have heard some news, and I don't want to hide it from you, Gonggong Wu, you read this thing to the Aiqing." ”
"Yes." Duke Wu received a document-like thing, spread it in his hand and read it out, "Under the feet of Emperor Xi, Liao has been established for more than 100 years, and the number of "iron" is ......"
After more than ten minutes of reading, the more Wu Song listened, the more panicked he felt, the thing he was most worried about finally came, and in the hands of Wu Gonggong was a letter of persuasion from the Jin State, more precisely, a threatening letter.
At the beginning of the book, he first talked about the glorious history of the founding of the Liao State, but soon the pen turned around, and he exaggerated the deeds of the Jin State in subverting the Liao State in the past few years, and said that if the princess of the Jin State was not returned quickly, the day when the Jin State Iron Horse broke through the Juyong Pass, it was the time when the people in the city died, and the words were arrogant and domineering, and even told the Liao people about their strategic intentions.
In the book, it threatens to send a three-way army to conquer Yanyun, the west route of the Liao rebel general Yelu Yu Jian divided the troops into the mountain, through the Xijing Datong Mansion to conquer Yanyun's western gateway Yunzhou, the east route of the Jin general Wanyan Lou Room sent troops, has now set off from Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, the north of the Jin capital Huining Mansion has also sent a large number of men and horses, led by Wanyan Zongbi, the number of troops is 50,000.
When Gonggong Wu's shrill voice disappeared, the middle of the hall was suddenly quiet, and the old ministers behind Zhang Lin on the left were already frightened, and their eyes showed cowardice, they were really scared by the Jin people.
Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi on the right were indignant, and all people with blood would not be indifferent when they heard that their clan was so insulted by foreigners, and the two of them were very angry. Wu Song's face was calm, but his heart was full of horror, he knew that the Jin people would send troops to beg for people, but he didn't expect it to be such a big formation.
Yelu Yujian, Wanyan Lou Room, and his old enemy Wanyan Zongbi, which is not a good master, what is more terrifying is the number of Jin soldiers, has reached 10,000 people, when the Hubu Dagang War, Wanyan Agu defeated the 700,000 army of Tianzuo Emperor with 20,000 gold soldiers, there is a saying among the Liao people, "Jin people are not more than 10,000, and they are invincible."
Now the Liao people are attacking from three sides, with more than 10,000 troops, and Youzhou is only 60,000 people, and there are 40,000 troops who are responsible for city defense, so they have no advantage at all.
Although Ye Luchun's face was calm, but his face was very haggard, he sighed and continued, "Everyone, Aiqing, this is not the worst, the worst thing is that the Changsheng Army General Guo stationed in Jizhou sent a message that the Lugou River on the border of the Song Dynasty has been abandoned for many days, and this time there are soldiers and horses to build soil for the city, and Limuzha is the military camp, which seems to have a plan for my Yanyun, so to speak, the south of Yanyun is also dangerous, and there are no natural dangers such as Juyong Pass and Yuguan in the north, and there is only one Lugou River, which is what I am most worried about." ”
"What, the Song people also want to draw Yanyun?" As soon as these words came out, everyone mutinied, as timid as those few civil officials, cold sweat flowed, and some of them trembled, even Xiao Gan, Yelu Dashi and a few people were also shocked, there was no danger in the south, and the troops were limited, so what to protect the southern gate of Yanyun.
The most shocked was Wu Song, the first reaction that popped out of his mind was impossible, the disaster of Fang La in the Northern Song Dynasty had not been rehabilitated, how could it be possible to send troops to Tu Yanyun, according to the progress of history, shouldn't Tong Guan destroy Fang La first and then Tu Yanyun, did something big happen on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty?
Wu Song's thoughts were wandering, and a minister on the left came out of the ranks, knelt on the ground and bowed, "Your Majesty, the Jin people are powerful and invincible, please release the princess of the Jin Kingdom, and then give them the gold and jade silk, and send someone to send them back to the Jin Kingdom immediately, so as to avoid military disasters, otherwise the soldiers will come to the city and regret it too late." ”
Wu Song suddenly felt panicked in his heart, how could he allow Ping'er to leave him, if she returned to the Jin Kingdom, then the two of them would be able to see each other again.
He was about to speak out against it, but Yelu Dashi stepped out one step ahead of him and said, "Chen Yushi, do you think that the Jin people sent tens of thousands of troops, and such a big military operation would be stopped because of the release of people, for the sake of today, only by fighting hard to kill the enemy can there be a glimmer of life." ”
"What Brother Dashi said is that I have long wanted to fight with the Jin people." Xiao Gan also echoed.
Not to be outdone, the other three old men seemed to be dizzy at this moment, and their voices became full of neutrality, completely lacking the previous appearance of not caring about themselves.
One of the civil officials with a gloomy face even persuaded, "Your Majesty, for the sake of today, if you want to extinguish the anger of the Jin people, you can only kill the culprit, I think General Yelu will not refuse this suggestion for the safety of Northern Liao." His cold gaze stared at Yelu Dashi, and he even glanced at Wu Song a few times.
