On the banks of the Woods, the city of Kedun is visible to the naked eye.

Yelu Yujian, Shi Jianu, and Bali Su led more than 10,000 cavalry to conquer Yelu Dashi.

Why did you let Yelu Yujian be the coach?

Because the Jin State sent troops in a hurry, there were not enough troops, and there were not enough military rations. It is necessary to use Yelu Yujian's fame and connections to let the grassland departments send troops to cooperate, and provide grain and grass along the way.

Several cavalrymen galloped back, knelt in front of Shi Jianu, and said, "Marshal, the city of Kedun is empty, and there is no one in the nearby pastures. ”

"Got it." Shi Jianu's face was expressionless.

Yelu Dashi has run away, where can I find it in the vast desert north?

Because of the contact with the Ming Dynasty to send troops together, Yelu Dashi launched earlier than in history and attacked the second northern battalion of the Jin State.

It was the stronghold of the Jin State to control the Hulunbuir grassland, and after being uprooted by Yelu Dashi, it could no longer actually control this place, and could only buy the grassland tribes to control it indirectly.

Now the situation in the Jin State is that Wu Qimai and the imperial court on the Harbin side control the entire northeast region.

Wanyan Zonghan's Yunzhong Privy Council, which controlled the grasslands of Inner Mongolia and the northern part of Shanxi.

The Yanshan Privy Council, which was completed by Yan Zongwang, controlled the Yanshan region and northern Hebei, and had access to food supplies from the Northeast.

Yelu Dashi pulled out the second camp in the north, and it was not the Jin court that angered, but Wanyan Zonghan, who was entrenched in Datong, Shanxi!

After Yan Zonghan was angry and raised troops, he greeted the imperial court in Harbin, and immediately sent elite cavalry to Mobei to fight.

The elite Jurchen cavalry is indeed invincible, and it is invincible all the way to the north.

However, no enemy can be found......

Yelu Dashi did not engage the Jin soldiers at all, and even the capital of Western Liao, Keduncheng, was abandoned.

"Dada......"

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Yelu Yujian led more than a thousand horsemen to gallop quickly from the southeast.

He, the marshal of the Liao expedition, knelt down on one knee directly when he saw the deputy marshal Shi Jianu: "Don Ma, all the departments of the grassland are willing to send troops, but they say that the food is insufficient, and ask the court to allocate military food first." ”

"Bang!"

Shi Jianu kicked over the table, accumulated anger for more than two months, and couldn't stop venting: "I asked them to give food, and they actually asked me to allocate food, really I didn't dare to lead troops to level their tribe?" ”

Yelu Yu admonished: "Sudden attack on the attached tribe may cause chaos in the grassland again. ”

"Do they call it confugation? When the war is not made, what is the use of asking them if they do not send troops and do not give food? The more Shi Jianu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he actually kicked Yelu Yujian's body, "And you, you keep saying that you can subdue the tribes, but you can't even bring a tribe to fight." What a rubbish! ”

Yelu Yu saw that he was kneeling on the ground, and was almost kicked down by this kick, full of grievance and anger, and did not dare to show it, but instead kowtowed to Shi Jianu: "Don the horse to stop being angry." ”

This colt is the son-in-law of Wanyan Aguta.

"Withdraw tomorrow!" Shi Jianu brushed his sleeves and left.

If the troops are not withdrawn, there will not be enough food to return to Datong.

A few days after the Jin cavalry withdrew, Yelu Dashi personally led his troops back to the city of Kedun.

Ma Kuo and Yu Yunwen also rode horses to follow him.

Ma Kuo flattered: "The golden thief returns in vain, and the prestige of the khan will resound throughout the grassland." ”

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said: "We still have to win a few more battles, and a khan who can only flee will not be able to convince the people in the grassland." ”

Yelu Dashi's situation is far from being as beautiful as it seems.

The Western Liao State he now established had seven states and eighteen tribes, but it was actually more like a loose tribal alliance.

The northwest of the Liao State has rebelled for ten years, and the Liao's century-old business here has been ruined. Although the Liao State successfully suppressed the rebellion, it fought a full ten years of war, and only killed Marcus, who led the rebellion, and even Marcus's children and grandchildren did not have a.

(This rebel and killed Marcus later had a grandson named Wang Khan, and Wang Khan had an adopted son named Temujin.) ）

Since then, the Liao State can only rule Mobei in name, and in just a few years, where can these tribes really submit?

Once a major setback is suffered, it is estimated that more than fifty percent of the eighteen departments under the command of Yelu Dashi will rebel, and two percent will listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement!

Therefore, Yelu Dashi can only win but not lose, and if he is defeated, he can't even stay in Mobei, so he can only run to bully those countries in the Western Regions.

……

However, it was said that Yelu Yujian and Shi Jianu returned to Datong, and they were soon punished by Wanyan Zonghan.

Wasting grain and grass, returning in vain, and not being able to subdue the grassland tribes, all these charges had to be borne by Yelu Yu. Who made him the manager of this expedition?

Yelu Yu's military power was deprived by Wanyan Zonghan, and all the Khitan soldiers in his hands were gone.

Commander of the Light Pole one.

"Bang!"

The wine glass was placed heavily on the table, and Yelu Yu poured himself a drink, sipping the sullen wine one after another.

He, the uncle of Da Liao, was forced to take refuge in the Jin State by political struggle. Over the years, he has made a lot of contributions to Jin Guoguo, but in exchange for being suspicious again and again.

When Aguta was still alive, he migrated all Yelu's wives and concubines, sons and tribes to the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom as hostages. This move provoked Yelu's subordinates to rebel against Jin, and he was even more distrusted from then on.

Now, he has no military power left!

"Father's ......"

Yelu Dongzhen pushed the door in, he was the only son who was allowed to follow Yelu Yujian.

"Close the door." Yelu Yu said with a depressed emotion.

Yelu Dongzhen first looked out, then closed the doors and windows, and whispered: "Father, Jin Guo can't stay, otherwise we will be convicted and killed sooner or later." ”

Yelu Yu sneered: "Jin Guo can't stay, where else can he go?" Cast Nasixia or Jerodashi? ”

Yelu Dongzhen said: "My father and Yelu Dashi are both fierce tigers, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and Mobei will never go." Xixia wagged his tail and begged for mercy in front of Wanyan Zonghan, and my father and son had no soldiers in their hands, so they went alone to avoid being taken in. Then only the south side of the Ming is left! ”

"The emperor of the Ming Kingdom, I don't know what kind of person he is, and there is no way to go after he passes." Yelu said suspiciously.

Yelu Dongzhen said: "Now only the Great Ming is willing to accept us. With a lot of information about the Jin Kingdom, as long as the Emperor Ming is not mediocre, he will definitely give us an official title. ”

The father and son discussed it and began to make an escape plan.

First, he made himself bald, put on a hat to prevent people from noticing, and then got two sets of monk's robes.

They lived on the outskirts of Datong and owned some land, servants, and tenants.

The father and son called the concubine (the wife was a hostage in Liaodong), said that he was going into the city, and rode a horse to the south halfway.

A general who lost his army, Wanyan Zonghan did not send anyone to keep an eye on him. And the concubines and servants of the father and son thought that they had gone to the city to visit friends. The two rode for more than ten days, but no one noticed!

They did not dare to enter the city along the way, and rode straight to Yanmen Pass. Before entering the mountain, they changed into monk's clothes, dressed as two monks, one old and one young, and killed the horses and threw them in the ravine, and the rest of the journey was changed to walking.

Due to last year's shaving order, a large number of Han people pretended to be monks, preferring to shave their heads rather than keep their hairstyles.

The father and son pretended to be monks inconspicuously, and they didn't bring contraband in their baggage, so they easily passed the test.

At this time, Xinzhou was still occupied by the Jin State, and the Chitang Pass was also in the hands of the Jin State, but the Tianmen Pass had been recovered by Zhang Guangdao.

The two went around to the southwest of Xinzhou, crossed the mountains and went straight to Tianmen Pass, and were caught as soon as they arrived at the pass.

Yelu Yujian was tired and half dead from climbing the mountain, let the soldiers tie him up, and said unhurriedly: "My father and son are not meticulous, I am Yelu Yujian, the general of the Liao State, and this time I brought major military information to the Ming Dynasty." Take me to Taiyuan quickly, I want to see your officials! ”

Several guards glanced at each other, let the father and son have a full meal, and then arranged for the fast horse to set off.

Two days later, they met Zhang Guangdao.

"Are you Jeruh?" Zhang Guangdao looked carefully.

Yelu Yu hurriedly told his story, and said: "Wanyan Zonghan set up the Yunzhong Privy Council in Datong, and its jurisdiction is only Xijing Road in Liao State, Daizhou, Xinzhou, and Ninghua Army in Song State, and a large grassland in the north. In these places, the grain production is insufficient, and it is difficult to feed the army of Wanyan Zonghan. ”

"The Jin court was afraid of Yan Zonghan's troops, and did not dare not give military rations, and did not dare to give too much military rations. Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan's military rations have not been enough, and the gentry and powerful people are unbearable. Once the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow go north, the people everywhere will inevitably eat pot pulp to welcome the king! ”

Zhang Guangdao asked: "Will Wanyan Zonghan go south this year?" ”

Yelu Yu said: "He has always wanted to invade the south, but the army is short of food, and he has repeatedly urged the Jin court to give food, but the Jin court has been dragging its feet. ”

"Do you think the Jin Imperial Court will give it?" Zhang Guangdao asked.

"I will definitely give it," Yelu Yu said, "Wanyan Zongwang also wants to invade the south, so he sent someone to Datong to contact Wanyan Zonghan." The two of them have heavy troops in their hands, and if they join forces to exert pressure, the Jin Imperial Court can only agree. But the time to send troops will not be too early, it will be dragged back and forth, and by the time the military rations are transported to Datong, I am afraid it will already be autumn. ”

This information is too important, Zhang Guangdao was very satisfied, and said to Yelu Yujian: "The Jin people are all barbarians, they don't know how to reuse talents, and they even go back on their word and wait for the generals." I immediately sent someone to escort the general's father and son to Kaifeng, with the talents of the two, I will be relied on by the Ming court! ”

"Thank you, General!" Jerod was overjoyed.

The father and son were quickly sent to Tokyo, and after Zhu Guoxiang personally received them, he sent them to Shandong to see the prince.

Zhu Ming toured all the way west from Dengzhou, and before he arrived in Jinan Mansion, he received the news that Yelu Yu had come to surrender, and there was also the detailed military information they brought.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, the Kingdom of Jin will be defeated!" Fu Zhirou patted the sycophants.

Zhu Ming smiled and asked, "How do you know that the Jin Kingdom will be defeated?" ”

Fu Zhirou said: "Jin has the power to govern the country, and there are military generals who stand on their own, and the power is divided into three, and there is already the appearance of the destruction of the country." Now they still dare to go south, but only with a sharp spirit. Our army doesn't need to go out of the city to fight, just hold on to the cities everywhere and don't let the Jin country plunder too much money and grain. When the Jin soldiers returned in vain, there was a shortage of food in the country, and civil strife would inevitably occur. ”

"Makes sense." Zhu Ming nodded.

Historically, the Jin Kingdom was able to survive the crisis smoothly, but it was really a coincidence that Wanyan Zongwang died.

If you don't die early, you won't die later, but you died immediately after the Northern Song Dynasty.

This broke the tripartite balance of the Jin State, made Wanyan Zonghan's family dominant, and dared to scold the Emperor of the Jin State, and solved the hidden danger of civil strife at once.

When Zhu Ming used to read history books, he even suspected that Wanyan Zongwang was poisoned, and the time of the violent death was too flawless.

Not only did Wanyan Zongwang die a coincidental death, but his deputy Liu Yanzong also died a coincidental death.

The troops under the command of the two were quickly annexed by Wanyan Zonghan without much effort.
