Fang La in the south revolted

In terms of the choice of timing, it is not too good, at present, the countries around the Great Song Dynasty have more or less their own affairs, the Liao State is busy recapturing the sixteen states of Yanyun that were robbed by Li Xuan, Xiao Feng's farewell, the morale of the Liao State is a little low at the moment, even if the Liao Emperor comes forward in person, he cannot recover the impact of losing Xiao Feng, and loses the containment of the Great Liao, Western Xia faces such a behemoth as the Great Song Dynasty, even if the other party is not aggressive, but he does not dare to force too much, as for Dali and Tubo, At present, there is not enough strength to have too much impact on the general trend of the world.

Such a relatively stable external environment is extremely rare for the Great Song Dynasty, and choosing this time to rebel is by no means a good time in terms of the overall situation.

But after all, it is a person from the rivers and lakes, and most of the time his vision is limited to the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes are full of complaints, and he is regarded as an opportunity by Fang La, and the strategy is not to say that there is nothing, at least Fang La's uprising with its religious characteristics, in a short period of time, it is like a bamboo, and it occupies a lot of cities with its popularity among the people.

However, these cities, if you have to say that it is not impossible to break through, but there are definitely not many that are really won by strength, most of them have been infiltrated by Fang La as early as before the incident, and the siege looks more like a formality, often the army has just started, and the local army defending the city has been dispersed by the people in charge of receiving it in the city, and the arrival of the righteous army is only to receive the city, and it has hardly encountered decent resistance.

However, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion launched by Zhang Jiao, after the initial momentum, the self-confidence of the rebel army began to swell, and like most peasant uprisings in history, it began to develop explosively.

For a period of time that followed, most of the eyes within the Great Song Dynasty were attracted by this massive rebellion, although for those who really stood at the top. Although the current rebellion is huge, in fact, no matter from the perspective of the background, strategy, and timing choice, this rebellion is full of failures and failures, and the current stalemate is only temporary, and they are waiting. It's just a time for them to take down their opponents.

And just when everyone in the Great Song Dynasty focused their attention on the rebellion in the south, a short but enough war in the north to affect the general trend of the world quietly started, and when the news reached the Great Song Dynasty, the dust had already settled.

Liaoguo, Shangjing.

On the magnificent city wall, there are still traces of war that have just been experienced at this moment, and the blood stuck to the city wall has not completely dried up, but, at this moment. The flag that used to represent the Liao State has been replaced by a five-clawed golden dragon banner representing the Han Dynasty.

At the head of the city, several generals stood at the top of the city wall with Li Xuan like stars holding the moon, looking down at Yelu Hongji condescendingly, this ambitious emperor, even after being reduced to a prisoner now, still showed the bearing that belonged to the emperor, and glared angrily at the person in front of him who made him a prisoner of the order.

"Yelu Hongji, you let me. Very disappointed. His eyes fell on Yelu Hongji's body, and Li Xuan shook his head with some regret: "Sure enough." Without Xiao Feng, have you even forgotten how to fight? ”

"Hmph, despicable villain, he will only use some vicious tricks, he has the ability, you and I will fight with real knives and guns!" Yelu Hongji looked at Li Xuan's disappointed gaze. There was a breath of anger in his chest, and he roared with some grievances.

"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating!" Li Xuan shook his head a little helplessly: "Since I was able to place people by Yelu Chongyuan's side, I naturally have enough ability to place people by your side, as a king, you still have a lot to learn!" ”

His eyes were looking at the somewhat desolate city. The combat effectiveness of the Khitan people is beyond doubt, even if the city gate is opened, there is a rebellion at the head of the city, and the general trend has gone, they still show tenacious combat effectiveness, in the process of taking over the city, Li Xuan's side has paid a lot of price, almost exhausted the accumulation of several months, even if you want to make another move now, it is impossible in a short time, and you have to guard against the revenge of the Khitan remnants.

This raid has already begun to be arranged a few months ago, and it is easy to choose the right person, and it is easy to install his own people among the close ministers around Emperor Liao, but even if it is Azhu's attainments in disguise techniques, even if he succeeds in capturing these people and successfully stealing the day, it is difficult not to be discovered in daily contact, Yelu Hongji, as the king of a country, is really impossible to even have this kind of defense, so at the beginning, Li Xuan did not think about starting from these upper-class figures of the Liao State, While the benefits of success are significant, the risk of discovery is even greater.

Relatively speaking, the selection of some grassroots generals, although the role they can play is limited, but the sum of ten hundred is enough to affect the layout of the entire Shangjing City, and as long as these people are successfully dropped, the risk of being found is not great, even if they are discovered, there are countless small people of this level in the Shangjing City, and there is no way to check it at all.

The method looks very simple, but if you really want to implement it, it is not so simple, select candidates, although the low-level officers will not communicate much with the outside world most of the time, and after the matter is finalized, the time that the person who is sent to play is not long, but in the barracks, the daily training and patrol errands are carried out by these grassroots officers, and the people sent must be familiar with the military affairs in Beijing, even if the scale of the dark hall is not small now, and the penetration ability is enough, but these things look simple, But it is the top secret of an imperial city.

Fortunately, he has just experienced the rebellion of the King of Chu, and although he successfully recaptured Shangjing, he has rebuilt and reorganized, and there are many loopholes that can be drilled.

In addition, Xiao Feng's survival is also a problem, as the former leader of the beggar gang, Xiao Feng's experience in this area is probably stronger than anyone else, and with his character, he will definitely mingle with the officers and soldiers at the bottom, if this plan is to be thoroughly implemented, Xiao Feng's problem must be solved, so Li Xuan chose to accept Shaolin's invitation, and at the same time secretly spread the news, the Han can be said to be the meat that Li Xuan personally cut from the Liao State, plus Xiao Feng's own grievances and entanglements in the Song Dynasty martial arts, with Li Xuan's understanding of Xiao Feng, More than eighty percent are likely to go.

"These things are actually very simple, but they can't be done by one person, you and I have the ambition to reign in the world. But the road of the emperor, but he died, I think you should know this very well, or better than me, Xiao Feng is not dead, there is an old monk who forced me to let him live. His life is still mine, the emperor is ruthless, but sometimes, some promises still have to be kept. ”

Slowed down, looking at Yelu Hongji's eyes that gradually calmed down, he shook his head and smiled: "But it's useless not to die, that palm, even if he is talented and his physique is far beyond ordinary people." In addition, if you have enough good medicine and doctors, it is impossible to recover without three months, and at that time, the overall situation has been decided, even if you come back, it is useless. ”

"Why are you telling me this?" By this time, the man who was holding down Yeluhonki had retreated. Li Shan and the others were also sent by Li Xuan to deal with some aftermath in the city, but Yelu Hongji did not continue to be angry. Together with Li Xuan, standing side by side at the head of the city, looking down at the vast land, a touch of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Li Xuan and asked.

"Why?" Li Xuan was stunned and looked at Yelu Hongji. Some self-deprecating smile: "I can't say, you have ambition and enough skills, even if you are not a hero, you can be regarded as a hero." Moreover, you should be regarded as the first emperor who was defeated by me with dignified means, which is commemorative, and I don't want you to die in vain, so I sue you. ”

"Heh~" Yelu Hongji was keenly aware of some meanings in Li Xuan's words that he didn't understand, the first emperor to defeat by righteous means, that is to say, the emperor who was defeated in his hands was not only himself? This thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't delve into it: "It's a pity that the country is ruined, and I can't be happy." ”

"So, the road of the emperor will always be a lonely road, even if you succeed, you can really understand this joy, only you, who are also emperors, but at this time, as a loser, you are not in the mood and cannot be in the mood to share with me." Nodding, there are not too many regrets, all the way to this point, Li Xuan just wants to find someone who can really understand what he is saying to share his feelings at the moment, and when he really stands in this position, he can experience that feeling.

"Do you have any last wishes? If it's not too difficult, I can help you, if you shouldn't export, needless to say, you are also the emperor. In the end, Li Xuan looked at Yelu Hongji, and drew an end to this conversation that was more about him venting, although what he said was the truth, but it was also nonsense, the road has come to this day, all he can do is keep going.

"Last wish?" Yelu Hongji looked at the blood-stained remnant sun and shook his head: "There is a question, although Shangjing has been conquered, I still have a large territory in Daliao, and there are countless Khitan warriors, even if you occupy Shangjing, but what you have to face is the counterattack of countless Khitan warriors, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid?" Li Xuan turned around, glanced at him with a smile and said, "Your worries are a little unnecessary. ”

"Uh~" Yelu Hongji was a little puzzled.

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains, a snake can't do without a head, a bird can't fly without a head, during this time, you Khitan people will definitely have a counterattack, but there is no unified organization and overall planning, only with a blood, it is impossible to shake my rule, and after that, the Khitan clan will definitely divide into various large and small forces, for the position of Emperor Liao into infighting, and I will not let it develop, provoke, buy, rumors, it is not difficult to want these forces to continue the endless infighting, and when there is a final result, the rest of the people, It's not about how to get revenge, it's about how to survive. ”

"Hiss~" Even though he had been prepared, but listening to the man in front of him say in an indifferent tone the direction of the Khitan tribe in the next few months or even years in a calm tone, Yelu Hongji still gasped in his heart.

"The person who is about to die, I don't want to sue you about this, this is a yang scheme, even if those people of yours know, no one can stop it, Xiao Feng can't come back, although his martial arts are good, his wrists are enough, he can deter the three armies, but he can't deter people's hearts." Shaking his head, Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go on the road, now we are in Beijing, there are still many things to deal with, this last journey, let's go by yourself." ”

The two swords and axes were in their hands, taking away Yelu Hongji, who was depressed, Li Xuan looked at the remnant sun that was gradually setting, but his mood at the moment was unprecedentedly quiet. (To be continued......)
