Chapter 761: Sudden Heart-to-Heart Sympathy
"King Yan, this matter is absolutely not good!"
"King Yan is my Great Liao Prince, if it is spread out and coerced by Song Chen, it will inevitably become the biggest stain on His Highness."
"Your Majesty is on an expedition, if you know that King Yan has lost power and humiliated the country, you will be disappointed in King Yan."
β¦β¦
Where could Yelu Yanxi not hear the unwillingness of the courtiers?
But the question is, is this an unwilling problem?
The girl next door from her childhood sweetheart, climbing into the carriage of the powerful, is this a problem that love can solve? Is this life good?
When people are faced with difficult situations, the speed of growth will be amazing. Yelu Yanxi, a dragon son and grandson, naturally did not realize that life was not easy, but under the powerful threat, he quickly made a choice.
Agreed to Li Kui's unreasonable request.
But the courtiers did not agree, which made him irritable and angry. If it weren't for your useless courtiers, he wouldn't want to bear this humiliation.
After all, for a crown prince, being threatened by the courtiers of an enemy country must be one of the biggest stains in life.
If there is a more serious stain than this stain, I am afraid that it will be the destruction of the country.
After Yelu Yanxi glanced gloomily at the courtiers, he asked, "No, if any of you can go to war and drive the Song army away." Lone doesn't want you to annihilate the Song army, as long as the Song army is driven away, Lone will not only agree to your request. And I will try my best to protect you in front of Your Majesty, what do you think? β
At the head of the city, there was a sudden silence.
At this time, the official who brought Sun Liang, the commander of the defeated army, back to the city, whispered in front of Yelu Yanxi, and said in a crying tone: "Your Highness, less than 10,000 people have returned. β
Silk β
At the head of the city, everyone gasped. How long has it taken to lose 20,000 horses?
If this continues, isn't it that the tens of thousands of Liao troops in the city are not enough for Li Kui to kill in one day?
"Han Qing, what should you do?"
Han Zirang was dumbfounded, he thought that he would be reused by Yelu Yanxi. After all, his experience was very important for the Liao army.
And Yelu Yanxi also showed an attitude of interest in him.
But in a blink of an eye, Han Zirang found that he was actually on the opposite side of the ministers, and Yelu Yanxi only used one sentence to leave him without any choice.
Either be a lonely minister and take the blame for the emperor's grandson.
When necessary, he became a victim of Yelu Yanxi's mistakes.
That is, the side in the 'Qingjun side', which is the meaning of a traitorous villain. And he is a traitor who stands on the opposite side of everyone.
Of course, Yelu Yanxi also considered it, he wanted to kneel, which is right. It seems that his path to the emperor has not yet begun, and he is rushing towards the path of the faint king.
But Yelu Yanxi is not stupid after all, he needs a shield, or an unlucky guy who can take the blame.
The emperor can't be wrong, it's all the fault of the courtiers.
And the Korean capital has a stain on his life and escapes, which is very embarrassing in Liao. Secondly, in his hands, he lost a very important city in the Liao State - Zhuozhou.
is flawed and unable to integrate into interest groups, which makes Han Zirang stand out and be favored by Yelu Yanxi at a glance.
As for the refusal of Korean capital?
If it doesn't exist, if Han Zirang refuses, he will simply let him die in prison tonight.
Han Zirang is also a thoughtful person, and after he experienced a prison life, he had an epiphany of life feelings. Thinking that he had fought for Da Liao for many years, in exchange for suspicion and alienation, the anger in his heart was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Immediately ignored it: "Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought about it, if you don't agree to Li Kui's request, what will happen like this?" β
"Could it be that he really attacked the city?"
Han Zirang sneered: "Yes, and it will be seen soon." β
"Arrogance, we have all learned the weapons of the Song army, and the field battle seems to be very strong. It's a big deal that we don't leave the city, and the food in the city is enough to sustain us for several years. However, the Song army lacked food and clothing, and would leave in a few days. At that time, King Yan has preserved his reputation, and Da Liao has a chance to breathe, as long as he works hard, he may not be worse than the Song army in the future. The person who spoke obviously didn't think it was a shame to be a turtle with a shrunken head, but instead used a crooked theory that life is also a strategy to win over supporters.
"Haha-"
No one could have imagined that Han Zirang, who had been reduced to a prisoner, would be so arrogant and laugh arrogantly in front of the imperial grandson Yelu Yanxi, wouldn't this be a mockery of the ministers for being bold.
But Han Zirang was not arrogant, but he said a fact: "Everyone, you don't want to think about it, when I was in Zhuozhou, I led 20,000 troops and garrisoned them in the city. The Song army attacked the city, if it was not really impossible to hold the city, so the cavalry moved the idea of going out of the city to meet the battle. Of course, you have also seen the results of going out of the city to face the battle, and we have no hope of winning at all. β
Han Zirang paused and continued: "Then let's talk about defending the city. At that time, I arranged for Nancheng to be heavily guarded, and the direction of the Song army's attack was Nancheng. The Song army has a kind of fire oil, which can ignite a raging fire when lit, and the water cannot extinguish it. At that time, I watched the Nancheng Tower in Zhuozhou being burned down, and the Song army also had a weapon called Palm Thunder. β
"Are those iron lumps you brought?"
"When such an iron lump falls like a torrential rain, you know that the more soldiers in the city, the greater the casualties, and there is no way to prevent it." Han Zirang raised his index finger and said: "As long as a pillar of incense is in time, the Song army can set the city gate on fire, and then use the palm thunder to clean up the entire city wall, even the defenders behind the city wall." At that time, Zhuozhou was lost, and that was the case. But I said, Your Majesty doesn't believe it, and you don't believe it......"
At this moment, Yelu Yanxi was silent, and the courtiers who were still clamoring just now were also silent.
Speaking of palm thunder, Yelu Yanxi really remembered that Han Zirang put away a few grenades that did not explode and brought them back to Xijin Mansion.
However, after the craftsmen of the Liao Kingdom disassembled, they found that this kind of palm thunder was really an iron pimple, and a long handle was added.
Of course, the craftsmen of the Liao Kingdom knew that this black powder was called gunpowder.
Even before, the Liao State had obtained an artillery piece destroyed on the battlefield through Lianxi Xia. Through research, they also guessed the construction of the artillery. Palm thunder is simpler than artillery, how can it not be seen?
It's one thing to see it, but it's another thing to study it.
Western Xia and Liao are the same, they know that fire weapons are very powerful, and they also know the structure of fire weapons, but they can't build them. The reason is that gunpowder is not good.
The Great Song Dynasty naturally guarded against artillery.
But after all, this weapon will enter the army, and once it enters the forbidden army, God knows where it will go. For example, a local forbidden army like the Ninghua Army may sell its equipment that day.
Artillery can be sold, but the formula for gunpowder cannot be bought.
The Great Song Dynasty had a gunpowder bureau, and the secret recipe was in the hands of a few people. Moreover, all the gunpowder was sent to the army in various places after it was made in the capital. This also makes it extremely difficult to get the gunpowder formula. And to purchase some gunpowder from the forbidden army, not to mention the amount is not large, and it is also difficult.
Facing an opponent who had almost no ability to resist, Yelu Yanxi finally gave Han Zirang a chance: "This matter is handled by Han Qing with full authority, do you have any questions?" β
"Obey your orders!"
Han Zirang was immediately dragged to take a bath, put on a clean fox fur, and finally was able to sit on a comfortable soft couch and drink a cup of fragrant tea from the Song Kingdom.
A gap opened in the city gate, and after Han Zirang was sent out of the city gate, the gate behind him was immediately closed with strict guards.
The Song army saw a person, riding a fairly handsome war horse, from the Liao State Xijin Mansion towards the Great Song Barracks.
When he was about to arrive at the camp, Han Zirang shouted in the proficient official dialect of the Song State: "Han Zirang, the envoy of the Liao State, asks to see the Song Army Li Dashuai!" β
Hua Rong had been waiting at the gate before, he didn't believe that Li Kui had made such an unreasonable request, and the Liao people would agree.
After all, the Liao State has always played the role of a barbaric and unreasonable evil neighbor, which has been deeply ingrained in the Song army.
Hua Rong ran into Li Kui's big tent in a hurry, anyway, he had already recognized Li Kui, this one didn't care about anything, even when he wasn't fighting on weekdays, anyone could enter his tent, even if a small soldier wanted to write a letter to his family, but he couldn't write it, he could let Li Kui write it on his behalf. There's no way, the life of the god of war is just boring and boring, if you don't get a little popularity, you won't be like a human being.
"Big brother, the Liao people really sent someone."
"Who's the pie?"
"Korean concessionsβ"
Li Kui touched his chin and said strangely: "Isn't this guy the unlucky guy who guards Zhuozhou?" β
It's only been a few days, and Li Kui won't let Han capital go. This is the first unlucky guy to fall under the guns of the Praetorian Guard. Moreover, he was beaten by Li Kui's combination punch without a backhand.
Counting it up, Han Zirang is also unlucky, and the secret weapon in Li Kui's hand has been used on this person's head.
Fierce fire oil.
Hand grenade.
Artillery.
Fusiliers.
This is a fierce man who has made up the four major killing moves, especially this one who is still alive and well, and even jumped into the Great Song Dynasty military camp.
Li Kui saw that Hua Rong seemed to be surprised by the collapse of the image of a strong opponent, and said with a smile: "Let him in." β
"Big brother, don't you need to set up a sword and axe formation to deter the Liao people?"
Although Hua Rong is a disciple of Jiangmen, Qingzhou's Jiangmen is simply a good baby for the guards of the frontier. He still stayed in the stories of his elders to fight for the country.
And it's a story that grandparents heard from their grandfathers.
Li Kui said with a smile: "Hua Rong, we are a big country, and we must have generosity." Killing is just stealing a little low, and there is no need to humiliate the opponent. We must convince people with virtue. β
Hua Rong doesn't believe in evil, if you don't want to humiliate your opponent, why do you make such excessive demands?
"Liaochen Han Zirang, I've seen Li Dashuai!"
Han Zirang saw that there was a good-looking military general next to Li Kui, and there was a two-five-eyed Ruan Xiaowu at the entrance of the tent, and Li Kui met him like this, which made him feel a little surprised. There are no axe hands, and there is no threat to the guards.
The feeling of being trusted instantly warmed the heart.
Li Kui smiled and said: "I put forward the conditions, the attitude is in the hands of your king, you are just an envoy who spreads the word, why should I humiliate you." Is there no minimum trust between people? β
Han Zirang was moved to cry, he experienced the biggest ups and downs in his life because of a fiasco in Liaoguo. When did his Han family experience such a miserable end?
originally thought that he would live in spitting for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect his opponent to give him enough dignity.
Li Kui didn't want to dwell on this issue, but asked directly: "Did Yelu Yanxi agree to the conditions?" β
"Yan Wang ......"
If the Song and Liao courtiers met in the past, as the envoys of the Liao State, they would inevitably boast and show off their might for a while. But at this time and that time, showing off his might in front of Li Kui, isn't it a dead end?
Han Zirang didn't hide it, and arched his hand: "Qi Li Dashuai, King Yan agreed to the request of the Song army and the labor army. However, there was one of them, and King Yan did not dare to agree. β
"That one?"
"Woman!" Seeing Li Kui's unhappy face, Han Zirang hurriedly explained: "It's not that King Yan doesn't want to agree, Da Liao doesn't feel ashamed of giving away women like Da Song. It's just that because the ministers reacted violently, they thought that this was a deliberate humiliation of Da Liao by the Great Song Dynasty, which would affect the status of the prince of King Yan. β
"If he is not the prince of Liao, what does it have to do with me?"
As soon as Li Kui opened his mouth, he blocked the Korean capital and left him speechless.
What was even more surprising was that Li Kui not only did not have the same compliment as Song Chen for Yelu Yanxi, but had a kind of uneasy smile, and looked at Han Zirang strangely for a while, the latter was frightened by Li Kui, fortunately, Li Kui did not look at the eyes of the peerless beauty, otherwise he would have to run away.
However, Li Kui asked Han Zirang with a smile: "Brother, do you have a blood relationship with the Liao royal family?" β
South Korean capital has a question mark in mind.
What does this mean?
The Han family is not a Khitan, but the Han family has had a great name, Han Derang.
To say that this is not a Khitan, his grandfather was a border general of the Tang Dynasty. Because of the war with the Khitan tribe at that time, he was defeated and captured, so he stayed in the Khitan, because he was brave and strategic, and the official went to the middle of the book. Actually, it's the prime minister.
And his father Han Kuangsi stayed in Nanjing and was crowned King Yan. At that time, the Liao State did not have the king of the Southern Courtyard, and staying in Nanjing was equivalent to the king of the Southern Courtyard.
When he arrived at Han Derang, the relationship with the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State was even more inexplicable...... became regent.
Han Derang has a Khitan name: Xingning Yaoge. And the name of the Han people is Yelu Longyun. At first glance, it can be regarded as a royal family of Liao, although it is a surname, but the unclear relationship between Han Derang and Empress Dowager Xiao is worth excavating!
After telling Li Kui about this past, Li Kui's eyes suddenly brightened like the brightest stars in the night sky.
Li Kui suddenly laughed sadly, the laughter was as desolate as a jackdaw, and it made people's hearts palpitate when he heard it, and he secretly said in his heart: This is a good seedling!
Just when Han Zirang was frightened, Li Kui said to Han Zi lightly: "Nonsense, you are obviously a Khitan royal family, why do you want to pretend to be my Chinese descendant?" β
Han Zi was stunned, what he said was true!
Without waiting for him to explain, Li Kui suddenly said leisurely: "But this handsome man has the skill of being a person, seeing that your ears and eyes are clear, the heavenly court is full, your appearance is extraordinary, and the emperor is noble in your eyebrows." I said, Brother Han, is it quite an emperor? β
If Li Bingqian, the emperor of Western Xia, was present, after all, he would hurriedly shout to Han Zirang: "Brother Han, don't believe him, I was fooled by this guy's words!" β
