At the beginning, Yelu Chongyuan took advantage of the death of Yelu Hongji and has been chasing Yelu Jun, hoping to take the Dading Mansion in his hands in one fell swoop, so as to divide the Liao State equally with the other party. At that time, Yelujun had just ascended the throne, and the army was also disheartened, so it can be said that the situation was very bad.
However, although Yelu Jun is young, he has a composure that does not match his age, under the coercion of Yelu Chongyuan, he does not care about the loss of a city and a pool, and takes the initiative to give up some cities to the other party, and even the city of Dadingfu is also lost to the other party, in order to delay the speed of Yelu Chongyuan's march, and he uses this time to enable the important minister Yelu Ren to reorganize the army first.
Just some time ago, Yelu Jun finally regained control of the domestic army, and then sent Ye Lu Ren to lead an army to sneak attack the rear of Yelu Chongyuan, which made Yelu Chongyuan difficult to take care of, and finally had to abandon Dading Mansion, but when Yelu Chongyuan retreated, Yelu Jun personally led the army to cover the past, and suddenly defeated Yelu Chongyuan, and lost tens of thousands of horses before retreating to the nest Nanjing Xijin Mansion.
After this defeat, Yelu Chongyuan's side is greatly injured, not only the loss of troops, but also the most important thing is that the people's hearts are scattered, after all, those who rebelled with him all want to rely on the power of the dragon to become an official, but now that Yelu Chongyuan is defeated, let alone say anything from the dragon, I am afraid that they will have to let Yelu Jun be a rebellious minister and thief in the end, not only will they not escape death, but even the family behind them will also be punished.
Yelu Chongyuan's defeat must have been a good thing for the Liao State, after all, this rebellion has lasted for nearly a year, and the country has suffered great damage, even if the rebellion can be quelled now, it will take a long time to restore the national strength. It's just that for the Great Song Dynasty, Yelu Chongyuan's defeat is definitely not good news.
Today's weather is too hot, Zhao Yan didn't want to stay in the courtyard, so he came to the Qingshui River for a walk, the river has a lot of water, and the banks of the river are also covered with tall willow trees, making the Qingshui River a good place to escape the heat.
Zhao Yan walked in the shade of the trees on the riverbank, while enjoying the cool breeze blowing on the river surface while thinking about the defeat of Yelu Chongyuan, after he received the news yesterday, he also went to the palace to inquire about Zhao Shu, and then went to the military academy with the information he got from Zhao Shu, and called Zhang Zai, Yang Huaiyu and Gu Tianjie and others to analyze the possible impact of this matter.
Thinking of the results of yesterday's analysis, Zhao Yan couldn't help but show a worried look, according to their analysis yesterday, the most likely is that there are two results, the first result is that Yelu Chongyuan's power will immediately collapse, so that the Liao State will be restored to unity, Yelu Jun will also establish his own prestige, coupled with his wisdom, it is likely that the national strength of the Liao State will be restored in a few years, thus re-posing a great threat to the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, the above results are also the last thing that the Great Song Dynasty wants to see, but Zhang Zai and Gu Tianjie both think that Yelu Jun's chances of being able to quickly quell the rebellion are very small, because the civil strife in the Liao State is not only a matter of the Liao State, but also related to the interests of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, especially the Western Xia, who had been eyeing the Liao State in the civil strife before, and would definitely not let Yelu Chongyuan be defeated so easily.
It is precisely because of the Western Xia that Zhang Zai and Gu Tianjie both think that the biggest possibility is that the Western Xia will immediately send troops, and even contact Yelu Chongyuan, after all, Yelu Chongyuan has now become a trapped beast, and if he does not rely on external forces, he can only end up in defeat and death.
In fact, Zhang Zai and Gu Tianjie's analysis is very correct, Zhao Yan got a very confidential news from Zhao Shu, that is, Li Liangzuo of Western Xia has secretly sent someone to contact Yelu Chongyuan, and the two sides have reached a preliminary consensus, maybe it won't be long before Xixia will send troops, and then Yelu Chongyuan will attack Yelu Jun on both sides, and it is really uncertain who will kill the deer at that time.
"Uncle, look, what are those people doing?" At this moment, Shu'er, who was suddenly walking beside Zhao Yan, shouted excitedly, he followed Zhao Yan throughout the summer vacation, almost wherever Zhao Yan went, he followed him, sometimes Princess Dening was a little jealous, and felt that her son was closer to Zhao Yan than to herself.
Hearing Shu'er's voice, Zhao Yan woke up from his contemplation, and looked in the direction of his little finger at the moment, and found that not far from the other side of the river, a group of children from Shangshuizhuang stood on the slope of the river, holding a bamboo pole in their hands, and there was a line and a fishing hook at the front end of the bamboo pole, which looked like fishing, but there was no float on the fishing line, and the fishing hook was not placed in his hand, but shook gently on the surface of the river, and he didn't know what he was doing?
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Zhao Yan frowned and said, most of the children on the other side are students of the school, even Wang Qi's son Wang Cai is among them, but he has already said before that he will not let these students come to the river, but these students still come to the river to play, which is really a little disobedient.
At that moment, Zhao Yan took Shu'er to turn around and cross the stone bridge on the Qingshui River, and then came behind those children, and when he got closer to Zhao Yan, he found that these students were actually fishing for frogs, and there were only fishing lines and hooks on the bamboo poles in their hands.
Seeing these students fishing for frogs, Zhao Yan couldn't help but turn pale, and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?" ”
The seven or eight students in front were concentrating on fishing frogs, and they didn't notice Zhao Yan's arrival at all, and when they heard the voice behind them, they were immediately frightened, among which Wang Cai was the most clever, and suddenly heard Zhao Yan's voice, and hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Student to meet the teacher!" ”
The other students also reacted at this time and saluted Zhao Yan one after another. Zhao Yan glanced at Wang Cai and the other students, and saw that they were all very respectful, and they were not very old, so it was not good to keep a straight face at the moment, so he stepped forward and asked, "Are you fishing for frogs?" ”
"Teacher Qiqi, we were bored at home, so we came to the river to cool off and catch a few frogs to satisfy our hunger." Wang Cai is the head of the child, and he is also the class president of the first grade, so at this time, he naturally came out to answer Zhao Yan's question, and he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
Speaking of Wang Cai, although these children have been in school for half a year, they mainly learn new words and mathematical knowledge, and they have not talked about other aspects of knowledge, such as simple biological knowledge about beneficial insects and pests, Wang Cai They have no concept at all, and naturally they don't know how to protect frogs.
In fact, don't talk about Wang Cai, even if the children in the countryside in later generations know that frogs are beneficial insects, there will still be some naughty children who go to fight frogs and roast them to eat, on the one hand, they are greedy, and secondly, they think it is very fun, not even to mention others, Zhao Yan did not eat frogs less when he was a child, but this also has a lot to do with the difficult living conditions of Zhao Yan when he was a child.
Thinking of the above, Zhao Yan's face couldn't help but soften again, and immediately beckoned Wang Cai and the others to put down the fishing rods in their hands and surround them, and then asked: "Wang Cai, half of the summer vacation has passed, what do you think makes you very unbearable in the summer vacation besides being too hot?" ”
Hearing this strange question asked by Zhao Yan, Wang Cai and the other students all looked at each other, except for the heat in the summer, there seemed to be nothing unbearable? But at this time, Shu'er, who was standing next to Zhao Yan, jumped up and shouted: "Uncle ~ Uncle I know, in addition to being too hot in summer, there are too many mosquitoes, every night when I sleep, I have to let people clean the mosquitoes in the mosquito net to sleep, and some hateful mosquitoes can also get into the mosquito net and bite out many small red bumps on my face." ”
Hearing Shu'er's reaction so quickly, Zhao Yan also nodded and smiled at him with satisfaction, and then Wang Cai and they were finally inspired, and they also agreed excitedly: "Yes, yes~, in addition to mosquitoes, there are also flies, bed bugs and other insects, in addition, we have a kind of vegetables that are also prone to insects, among which those meat insects that can't fly are okay, you can catch them and feed them to the chickens, but some flying insects can't catch them, and they gnaw off the leaves of our house." ”
Hearing Wang Cai and the others talking about various pests, Zhao Yan also showed a relieved smile, which showed that these children are people who are good at observing life. Finally waited for them to finish speaking, Zhao Yan smiled and said: "What you said is right, in addition to the heat in summer, the most headache is all kinds of small insects, these insects are not only annoying, but also spread diseases, it can be said that the danger is very great, but you may not know that the natural enemies of these insects are frogs......"
Zhao Yan said and explained the benefits of frogs in detail, which made Wang Cai feel more ashamed the more they listened, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads. Seeing that they all knew that they were wrong, Zhao Yan also nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you know that you are wrong now, do you dare to fish for frogs again in the future?" ”
"Teacher, we understand, we won't dare to fish for frogs in the future!" Wang Cai and the others immediately assured Zhao Yan when they heard it.
"Very good, you can change your mistakes, and you will not only stop fishing for frogs in the future, but also tell the other children in the village that you can't hurt frogs anymore, you must know that frogs are one of our best friends!" Zhao Yan smiled and said, maybe it's too early to maintain the concept of ecological balance, but at least let people have this concept, don't wait until it's too late to regret it.
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he reached out and took the bag in Wang Cai's hand and planned to release it, but when he opened the bag, he was startled, and at the same time glared at Wang Cai and them fiercely.
