Yelu Jun ate the fruit and enjoyed the song and dance in front of him, and the ministers next to him also shook gently with the beat of the song and dance, and the scene of singing and dancing in the hall was leveled, which also made Ye Lu Jun quite proud, when Yelu Chongyuan rebelled, the entire Liao State was almost on the verge of annihilation, but after his efforts in the past few years, he finally recovered a lot of national strength, but unfortunately the strength of the Song State grew faster, so that they Liao State did not dare to go south to fight the grass valley easily.

Just when Yelujun and a group of ministers were enjoying the singing and dancing, suddenly there was a report from the inner servant outside: "His Royal Highness King Song is here!" ”

As soon as he heard that King Song was coming, the ministers on both sides who were shaking their heads and enjoying the song and dance all sat up straight, and the drunkenness on their faces disappeared, and those dancing singers also left quickly under the hurried urging of the inner servants, and even Yelujun showed a little panic on his face when he heard the arrival of King Song, but he quickly sat up straight and waited for the arrival of the other party.

After a while, I saw a tall and dignified Khitan man striding over, but as soon as he came in, the Khitan man immediately frowned, because the hall was full of wine and fat powder, and there were still a lot of wine and food on the table in front of the ministers on both sides, and even some people had not completely sobered up, which made him look at the people around him very dissatisfied, and then bowed to Yelu Jun who was sitting upright and said: "Your Majesty, although the wine is good, please give priority to state affairs!" ”

This tall Khitan man who came in was Yelu Renxian, who had helped Yelu Jun quell Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion before, because he had made such a great contribution, so he was crowned as Shang's father by Yelu Jun, and was also named King of Song. In the entire Liao State, only the great achievements made by Yeluren were worthy of the title of King of Song.

"Hehe, what Father Shang said is that I am a little tired from dealing with government affairs today, so I called a few dancing girls to help entertain." At this time, Yelu Jun explained with a smile that Yelu Ren had made a lot of efforts to quell Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion, although Yelu Chongyuan was still staying on the grassland in the west and did not catch it. But it also doesn't have much impact on Liao, in addition, Yelu Renxian has also been fighting everywhere in the past few years, and finally let Liao have a stable development environment, so now that Liao can recover its strength, Yelu Renxian is also indispensable, even if Yelu Jun sees him, he has to be polite.

Seeing Yelujun's somewhat weak heart, Yeluren couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart, originally when Yelujun first ascended the throne, he was indeed very wise. is completely different from his father Yelu Hongji, not only quelled Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion, but also worked hard to promote the economic development of the country, but now that the domestic situation has just recovered a little, Yelu Jun seems to be a little slack, usually often mingles with some ministers who can only sneak around and have fun, and does not pay much attention to government affairs, which makes Yelu Ren worry that Yelu Jun will follow the old path of his father Yelu Hongji.

"That's right. Didn't Father Shang deal with the rebellion of the Jurchen savages in the north, and how are things handled now? Has the rebellion been quelled? At this time, Ye Lujun suddenly took the initiative to ask, although he has calmed down the domestic turmoil in recent years, but the external threat is still the same, in addition to the gradually stronger Song Dynasty, the most headache for their Liao State is the Jurchens in the north, and in recent years, it has become more and more fierce. Almost every year, the Jurchen tribes rebelled, forcing them to station heavily on the northern frontier.

Hearing that Yelu Jun still remembered the matter of the northern Jurchens, Yelu Renxian's face finally looked better, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this time the thirteen tribes of the northern Jurchens have joined forces to rebel. It has been pacified by the ministers, but those Jurchens are very treacherous, and as soon as they see that something is wrong, they immediately get into the mountains and forests, and we can't do anything about them, and I suspect that there are people behind these Jurchen tribes who are in control, otherwise the action cannot be so unified. ”

Yelu Jun heard that there were still people behind those rebellious Jurchens, which made him frown, and finally spoke again: "It seems that those Jurchens are getting bolder and bolder, originally I didn't want to send a large army to wipe them out, but now it seems that it is time to use force to deter them!" ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Yeluren first heard that Yelujun actually had the intention of using troops against the Jurchens, and hurriedly stopped, "Although our Liao State has recovered some strength in recent years, the Song State in the south has also soared in strength, and we have to guard against it, plus the Jurchens are familiar with the mountains and forests, as long as they get into the mountains and forests, we have no way to take them, if we also send troops into the mountains and forests to clear them, maybe we will suffer greater losses, so please think twice, so please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing that Yeluren did not agree to send troops to the Jurchens, Yelujun did not insist anymore, in fact, he said that if he was allowed to really attack the Jurchens, I am afraid he would not dare, because the Liao State did not have that strength at all. At that moment, Yelu Jun warmly beckoned the other party to sit down and drink with him, but Yelu Renxian refused on the grounds that he still had affairs to deal with.

Yeluren turned around and left first, and the singing and dancing in the hall began again, but at this time, a flattering minister said to Yelujun: "Your Majesty, the King of Song is too wide, Your Majesty just enjoys the singing and dancing, and he has to say a few words, and he doesn't take His Majesty seriously!" ”

"Okay, King Song is also for my good, so you don't have to say much!" After Ye Lujun heard it, he said lightly, but when he looked in the direction where Ye Lu Ren left first, a trace of inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, Hu Yanqing led the army to finally start from Hejian Mansion, Zhao Zongwu also left with him, rushed to the border of Qu County to join the rest of the army, Hejian Province is not far from Qu County, only four days away, and Zhao Zongwu gave them seven days, so the time is very abundant, and even Hu Yanqing stayed in Hejian Mansion for two more days to make some preparations and mobilization.

The four-day journey was not difficult for the army led by Hu Yanqing at all, and even they only took three and a half days to reach Qu County, and when they arrived here, they found that the entire county had been under martial law, and all the intersections were guarded by bright or dark people, and they could only enter and not exit, the arrival of Hu Yanqing's army made the guards very nervous, and waited until Zhao Zongwu showed the warrant, and then let them enter Qu County.

After entering Qu County, Hu Yanqing and they found that the entire county had actually become a large military camp, full of troops and people transporting supplies, as for the people in the county, they were all ordered to stay at home, no one was allowed to go out, of course, this kind of martial law will only be implemented for a few days, and there are also people who are specifically responsible for transporting food to various places, otherwise they may starve the locals to death.

Hu Yanqing came to Qu County with a large army, and then camped under the guidance of a general who led them in, Zhao Zongwu went to the county seat to see Fu Ming, and after a while, he ran out and took Hu Yanqing to the city, and now this small county town was also requisitioned, and the people in the city were temporarily moved out, but Qu County was originally a seated county, and the scale of the county seat was very small, and there were not too many troops stationed at all, so most of the troops who came were stationed outside the city, and Hu Yanqing had already seen several camps set up just now, presumably the army that arrived before them.

People come and go in the county, but there are not too many troops stationed, but there are a lot of materials stored, it seems that the imperial court has regarded this place as the rear of the attack on the Liao State, and after entering the county government, Hu Yanqing finally saw Yang Huaiyu who was busy, this time Yang Huaiyu was the head of the march, responsible for commanding the army to fight, of course, according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, there was also a civil official Wang Shao above his head, responsible for the scheduling of the entire war.

"The last general calls Yanqing, see the manager!" Hu Yanqing saw that Yang Huaiyu wanted to call the chief instructor, but when he thought that this was a military camp, he immediately changed his words and called the other party the chief manager, otherwise he would not have been criticized by Yang Huaiyu, after all, they were all trained by Yang Huaiyu at the beginning.

"Haha~, there are no outsiders here, Brother Qing'er, don't be polite, come in and sit!" Yang Huaiyu said very casually at this time, this is where he works, and no one around dares to approach, so it can be regarded as a private occasion, plus the two of them are originally world friends, so Yang Huaiyu did not use the official title.

Hearing that Yang Huaiyu took the initiative to call himself Brother Qing'er, Hu Yanqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he immediately stepped forward with a wry smile and said: "Chief Instructor, you are our top boss this time, but Liaoguo is not so easy to mess with, you have to take care of us then!" ”

Seeing that Hu Yanqing was not optimistic about the plan to attack the Liao State this time, Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh and said: "I know that your kid is definitely not optimistic about this matter, but this matter is decided by His Majesty, and we have no choice, so we can only plan as much as possible, this time I am ready to fight steadily, how much can I fight, even if I am punished by His Majesty, I can't let the Hebei army that has just improved fold in the Liao State!" ”

Yang Huaiyu's previous position was the same as Hu Yanqing's, he was the commander of the Xiang, but the prestige of their Yang family in Hebei was extremely high, thanks to the credit of his grandfather Yang Liulang, plus Yang Yang Huaiyu's own ability, so Zhao Ji let him command the matter of this attack on Liao.

"The chief instructor doesn't have to worry too much, our Hebei Army is no worse than the Liao State after several years of training, and if we add firearms, maybe we can defeat the land of Yanyun in the shortest possible time, and then we will switch from attack to defense, as long as we can complete the purpose set by His Majesty, it will be considered a victory." Hu Yanqing heard that Yang Huaiyu would rather be punished than keep the Hebei Army, and he was also very moved at the moment, but his words could only comfort Yang Huaiyu, and he had no confidence in whether he could conquer the land of Yanyun.
