In fact, not only Baili Wuji and Chai Rong had a hard time, but Yelujing in Beijing of the Liao Kingdom also had a hard time.

Nomads are not good at farming, and food savings have always been their weakness.

God is fair, giving the northern nomads a strong physique, but restricting their reproduction.

After unifying the northern part of the Liao State, Yelu Jing and his ministers found that this was not entirely a good thing for the Liao State. Because the Liao State not only could not get grain from them, but even needed to export grain. The only advantage is that there is a large amount of horse grazing land and a large number of cavalry can be recruited, and this conscription does not even require a horse or a knife from the Liao State.

It is a pity that the military rations after the conscription are not enough to make ends meet, and the wars with the Ming and Zhou for more than a year have exhausted the treasury of the Liao State, and if the war is not ended immediately, the Liao State is likely to be dragged down by this war.

And the conscription of the 120,000 cavalry of the Liao State collapsed.

It is conceivable that when Xiao Siwen's information about the war between the Ming and Zhou armies in Pizhou reached Shangjing, the Liao court would be so excited.

Once the alliance between Ming and Zhou is broken, the Liao State does not have to fight on both sides, and can even flank the Zhou State with the Obstruction Army, clean up the Zhou State, and then clean up the Ming State, and break each one. No matter how bad it is, it is better than today's two-sided battle.

Even, you can make peace with the Ming State and give up the land of the Zhou State in several states to the Ming State in exchange for watching it on the wall. In this way, the war will surely end before the end of the year.

But when Xiao Siwen got the news that the Ming and Zhou emperors would meet in Yanzhou on August 15, Yelujing and his ministers immediately changed their original strategy.

The way to bring the war to a swift end is not just the breakdown of the alliance between Ming and Zhou. The easier way is to capture the emperors of the two countries alive and use them as hostages. coerced the imperial courts of the two countries to surrender.

The Liao court unanimously passed the decision to change the original plan, showing unprecedented efficiency and unity. It seems that this information appeared specifically to solve the predicament of the Liao State, and if you don't take the opportunity to seize this opportunity, you think that anyone will regret it.

is worried about the logistics supply of the newly recruited Hu Lang Gai and the 120,000 cavalry of the Garrison, and now, as long as the emperors of the Ming and Zhou dynasties appear in Yanyun, then the Liao State will strike with all its might. Even if you can't capture two emperors alive, you can still take the sixteen states of Yanyun into your pocket, and you have the sixteen states of Yanyun. Then the road to the Central Plains will be wide open, and the Liao army can take advantage of the power of the new victory and move south.

So, Yelu Jing made a secret decree. made Xiao Siwen confirm the itinerary of Baili Wuji and Chai Rong. On the one hand, he began to mobilize and assemble the leather room army, the tribal army and the 120,000 cavalry of the Langgai and the jurisdiction of Shangjing.

And began to integrate the garrison of Dadingfu, and the commander of the Liao army of Dadingfu was Tiyin Yelu Shuogu, who had just escaped from a desperate situation.

After Yelu Shuogu quietly went north to Taiyuan from Jinling, he carried out "rectification" of more than 10,000 tribal troops, and the so-called rectification was to eliminate some of them who were noisy and unsatisfactory.

As a result, more than 1,000 Liao soldiers died in this purge, and although Yelu Shuogu was reluctant, compared with these more than 1,000 soldiers, he and more than 10,000 tribal troops were more important. The lesser of two evils, Yelu Shuogu, who was able to ascend to the high position of Tiyin, naturally understood this truth.

A few days later. With the cooperation of Ding Siji's subordinates, Yelu Shuogu led his army to the north first, turned west out of the Great Wall, entered the territory of Tibet, and then went north, crossed the black water, and entered the obstruction.

At this point, Yelushuo sent a messenger to Shangjing to send a message to Shangjing, and he had successfully highlighted the encirclement of the Ming army, and asked Yelujing to agree to return to Dading Mansion to rectify and rest the army.

Yelujing was naturally excited when he got this unexpected joy, and these days the sound of martyrdom from the government and the opposition made Yelujing, the "sleeping king", unable to sleep peacefully. Because of the 20,000 leather room troops under the command of Yelu Shuogu, the only remaining 8,000 people returned to Dading Mansion and reported the information of the day's battle situation to the Liao court.

And Yelujing was criticized by the courtiers because of this.

Although Yelu Jing was excited about Yelu Shuogu's ability to break out of the encirclement and lead his troops back to Liao, it did not mean that he could forgive Yelu Shuogu's defeat. In other words, Yelu Jing hoped that the army of more than 10,000 tribes would return to Liao to relieve the pressure he was under at this time, but he deeply hoped that Yelu Shuogu would die on the battlefield, so as to vent his anger at the heavy losses of the leather room army.

And the tribe controlled by Yelu Shuogu is the real reason why Yelu Jing wants Yelu Shuogu to die abroad.

Yelu Jing then issued an order to order Yelu Shuogu to gather troops north of the Luan River in Dadingfu, and then go to Beijing to report on his work.

Yelu Shuogu naturally knew Yelu Jing's intentions, and entered Beijing alone, that is, meat buns and dogs, and there was no return. Therefore, Yelu Shuogu relied on Dading Mansion to stay still on the grounds that he was injured during the breakout and had difficulty moving.

With Yelu Shuo Gu Tiyin's identity and the position of commander before the battle, it is enough to include Dadingfu's own 50,000 tribal troops and 38,000 leather room troops under his command, plus the 15,000 tribal troops brought during the "breakout".

Yelu Jing learned that Yelu Shuogu was in Dading Mansion for the reason of recuperating from his injuries, and he was furious, but he couldn't think of any good way for a while, after all, Yelu Shuogu controlled the Sanhe Wugu Tribe, and Dading Mansion had his 65,000 tribal army, unless he tore face with Yelu Shuogu and used force in the name of suppressing the rebellion, but in this way, it would inevitably cause a fire fight between the 65,000 tribal army and the 38,000 leather room army of Dading Mansion, which was completely not in the interests of Yelu Jing, let alone the approval of the courtiers.

So, Yelu Shuogu recuperated in Dading Mansion, this recuperation is a few months, even if it is a serious injury, it should be recuperated, but how to let it return to Shangjing, Yelu Jing still can't think of a good way.

At this time, Yelu Jing's henchman Lin Ya of the North Courtyard and the supervisor of the country Yelu Pugu gave Yelu Jing an idea to let Yelu Jing go to Dading Mansion in the name of rewarding and compensating the soldiers.

Yelu Shuogu's tribal army has been repaired for several months, and it is no longer as sensitive as when he first returned to Dading Mansion, as long as Yelu Jing enters Dading Mansion, then he can control the 38,000 leather room army of Dading Mansion, so if Yelu Jing orders to reward Yelu Shuogu again, and then order Yelu Shuogu to return to the capital with him, he will not be able to refuse to come to Yelu Shuogu, and the tribal army will not mutiny because of this.

Yelujing felt that what he said was reasonable, and the next day at the court meeting, Yelujing issued an order and decided to personally go to Zhongjing Dading Mansion to comfort the Liao army soldiers, and asked Yelulu Pugu to accompany him. At the same time, Jeruzara led 30,000 iron cavalry to follow. (To be continued......)
