In this way, Xiao Ming served as the privy envoy of the southern court of the Great Liao State as his uncle, and the state system of the Liao State was the highest military power held by the emperor himself, and there were northern and southern privy councils. The Northern Privy Council is the highest military administrative body, generally managed by the Khitans, while the Southern Privy Council, also known as the Han Privy Council, is in charge of the Han people's military affairs, so there is a situation in which the two military systems of the imperial court coexist.

A while ago, Yelu Zhangnu was in turmoil, the king of Chu was implicated, and then there was no one in charge of the Privy Council in the north and south of the Great Liao State, and Emperor Zuo of the Later Heaven promoted the general of Jin Wuwei Yelu Yujian to the king of the North Court, and the privy envoy of the North Court, but the South Court was unmanned, and the former King of the South Court Yelu Zhangnu has been planted, and the South Court finally ushered in the era of Xiao Ming as the privy envoy.

Since the Privy Council of the Southern Yuan is in charge of the government of the soldiers and horses of the Han people, but the soldiers and horses of the Han people only belong to the Jingzhou Army in the Liao State, and the Jingzhou Army, also known as the Wuzhou Township Army, is composed of strong men of the Han nationality and the Bohai tribe in the prefectures and counties of the Five Beijing Province conscripted by the Liao State.

Don't say 100,000 for such soldiers and horses, it's 500,000 1 million! It is also impossible to be the opponent of the elite soldiers of the Jin State, but now the soldiers and horses that the Liao State can recruit are not only the 150,000 forbidden army in the northern courtyard, that is, the palace tent army, but also the forbidden army guards around the emperor, and even the king of the northern courtyard, Yelu Yujian, is using Han soldiers, not to mention the southern courtyard.

So although Xiao Ming got a big official who was ranked as the third duke all of a sudden, and was also in charge of the soldiers and horses, he was just an empty shelf, with no soldiers and no generals in his hands, and Emperor Tianzuo promised to give 100,000 horses, so I don't know what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates are, but Xiao Ming doesn't care about these, he knows that at least fifty or sixty thousand elite soldiers of the Wuhuai tribe belong to him, and no one can take this away.

Besides, Emperor Tianzuo is staying in Xijing now, and even Zhongjing is too close to Shangjing, so he won't go, let alone come to Shangjing in person, Shangjing is a place where the Great Liao Kingdom has been operating for hundreds of years, if he can really knock it down, then there are too many things that can be done here, Xiao Ming is now playing this calculation in his stomach.

In fact, what Emperor Tianzuo threw to Xiao Ming was indeed a mess, and the 100,000 horses promised to him were indeed miscellaneous, and he felt embarrassed in his heart, so he promised Xiao Ming 500 catties of gold, 1,000 catties of silver, 5,000 heads of cattle and sheep, and sufficient supply of military supplies, which was also regarded as a precedent in Liao.

But the emperor asked the family to go to Beijing, and now in the entire Great Liao Kingdom, who has the ability to dare to fight with the soldiers and horses of the Jin State and snatch Shangjing back? I'm afraid there is really no one, so the eyes are red, and everyone is silent, to see if this newly promoted uncle has this ability.

Xiao Ming only mentioned one condition, that is, he is not in a hurry to get back Shangjing, at least give him two to three months, without this time, he can't do it, after all, Shangjing is now entrenched in nearly 100,000 Jin soldiers, as well as Wanyan Aguta's younger brother, Wanyan Wu Qimai and his son Wanyan Zongwang.

Two to three months is enough for Xiao Ming, he has his own plan, what is the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, he is really not rare, but Emperor Tianzuo is much more generous than Song Huizong, at least he is still a high-ranking official with real power, Song Huizong gave Xiao Ming a virtual title Xuanhui envoy from the fourth grade, at this point, Xiao Ming naturally feels better about Emperor Tianzuo.

But Xiao Mingru is not interested in Houlu, a high-ranking official of the Liao State, but with this special identity, it is estimated that it is more convenient to make money from the Liao State, and all the military salaries of the Liao army originally relied on the grass valley, but now it is completely dependent on the supply of the imperial court of the Liao State, although there are many constraints, but it can make a big fuss.

After exiting the big tent, Xiao Zhonggong was the first to come to congratulate, he didn't expect his righteous brother to do it so quickly, and now he actually sat in the high position of the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, Xiao Zhonggong was sincerely happy in his heart.

Xiao Ming grabbed him, "Big brother is still laughing, still don't save me?" ”

Xiao Zhong said in surprise: "Brother is now a rich man!" The future is bright, how can we save each other? ”

Xiao Ming sighed: "It's nothing for the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, but to snatch back Shangjing, don't you see that this is a trap?" ”

Xiao Zhonggong looked left and right and said: "I don't know, this matter must be inseparable from the King of Lanling, at present, the Liao State is short of available troops, the most likely is to transfer people from Nanjing, and once Nanjing's garrison heavy troops are mobilized, it is bound to make the Great Song Dynasty in the south ready to move!" ”

Xiao Ming said: "The Song Dynasty's armed forces are weak, there shouldn't be any action, the younger brother came from the south, this is still understood."

Xiao Zhonggong said: "Brother Xian doesn't know, the Song Dynasty has been preparing to take back the sixteen states of Youyun, and recently I heard that an envoy was sent to secretly contact the Akuta of the Jin State, and wanted to attack my Da Liao up and down, you are in charge of the Southern Courtyard, these are your priorities, and you have to guard against them." ”

Xiao Ming said: "The battle of Shangjing is obviously to collide head-on with the Jin Kingdom, and the brothers don't know the military affairs of Daliao, doesn't this make me go to death?" ”

Xiao Zhonggong nodded and said: "This is Xiao Fengxian's viciousness, it is nothing more than a plan to kill people with a knife, your Wuhuai Department interfered with his dream and the queen of the Jieli Department, and Xiao Mimi has just been established, and he has not been able to exert influence, and the most powerful person in the entire Great Liao Kingdom is probably the virtuous brother now!" I see that King Hailing's actions are more than the same, brother, you have to be careful. ”

Xiao Ming said: "After saying so much, the eldest brother still doesn't want to help me?" ”

Xiao Zhonggong said: "How can I not help my brother, there will definitely be a large number of people to visit you in the next few days, you are an upstart in the imperial court, and you have real power, brother might as well follow me to visit the king of the North Courtyard first, the king is the brother-in-law of the King of Jin, the real real power of Daliao in the future, as long as the north and the south join forces, Xiao Fengxian will definitely not dare to make waves again!" ”

Xiao Ming sneered: "It turns out that the eldest brother is here to pull the mountain?" ”

Xiao Zhonggong was a little embarrassed, scratched the back of his head and said, "It seems that my brother is worthy of being a businessman, and he has a good brain, not bad!" The eldest husband stands between heaven and earth, and there is really no need to be attached to anyone, we are indeed weak to deal with King Hailing alone, and we need the assistance of our brothers, just now my brother played an official with you, it is my brother's, I am here to apologize to you! ”

As he spoke, he was about to salute, Xiao Ming hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't, I respect my eldest brother as a real hero and a real man, so I have a relationship with you, and in the future, my eldest brother and I just need to talk straight."

Xiao Zhonggong nodded and said: "That's right, we are going to deal with King Hailing, and now King Hailing has already attacked his brother, even if you don't deal with him, he won't let you go, it's better for us to deal with him together!" ”

Xiao Ming suddenly laughed and said: "I haven't taken King Hailing in my eyes yet, his fate will not be too good, I really need the help of Lord Yelu Yujian now, that is to help me quickly bring the army out, I don't know if you have heard of it?" That is: the truth comes out of the handle! As long as we hold the military power, Xiao Fengxian's good days will come to an end! So you don't have to worry about how big a wave he will make! ”

Xiao Ming's words surprised and shocked Xiao Zhonggong! "Truth comes out of the handle!" It is too shocking, he has been contacting all forces to deal with the king of Lanling, and he never thought that even if Emperor Tianzuo treats Yelu Zhangnu, who has a heavy army, he is afraid of three points, if it is not for Yelu Zhangnu's selfish desires to make trouble, the current political situation of the Great Liao State is still in the hands of several bigwigs.

And since Yelu Yujian became the king of the Northern Courtyard, because of the military power in his hands, Xiao Fengxian and Emperor Tianzuo were at least a lot more polite on the surface, on the one hand, Yelu Yujian did have some ability to defeat the Jin soldiers, on the other hand, the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands were also a good force.

It turns out that the matter seems complicated, but in fact, the solution is very simple, as long as in the Great Liao Kingdom, through their own strength, and the military power in their hands, in the wooing of a few powerful tribes, they can completely influence the government to eliminate dissidents, Xiao Fengxian's purge of the Murowei tribe is a good example.

Xiao Zhonggong is the best part of the young Zhuang faction in the younger generation, some questions only need a little bit to understand, he quickly figured out the meaning of Xiao Ming's words, showed a knowing smile, and suddenly patted his chest and said: "I understand, brother's request, I will pass it on to the king of the North Courtyard as soon as possible, what to do, we know it, don't worry!" ”

Xiao Zhonggong said goodbye to Xiao Ming, immediately found Yelu Yujian, and conveyed Xiao Ming's meaning, Yelu Yujian also had a feeling of sudden realization, a series of soldiers and horses in Liao, except for the forbidden army of the royal family, the palace tent army, all kinds of other soldiers and horses are lackluster to the emperor's heart, but they are more sincere to the commander of the army, thinking that the commander of the army is directly related to his own welfare!

Although the palace tent army is the elite of the Liao army, it should be eaten and clothed, and all the expenses of the salary and silver are reimbursed by the imperial court, everyone also has a family in the capital, and there are many rewards in the tribe, so the heartfelt heart of the royal family is the heaviest, but these people have been worshiped for so many years, and the combat effectiveness is limited, just like the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu people, they usually hunt and kill, and they are not as good as the auxiliary soldiers.

The combat effectiveness of the royal guard is still so, not to mention other soldiers, these years the Liao State has been ravening and expropriating, plundering the wealth and land of various ethnic groups in the country, because the two of them now attach great importance to agricultural production, resulting in the land being occupied by the big landlords and the big nobles very fiercely, the big guys are arrogant and lascivious together, greedy and domineering, this country has rotten from the roots! The incident of Jin Guonuzhen is proof of doing a good job.

Yelu Yu is also a heartfelt person for the country, he can't see the root of things, but he knows that the emperor is close to the villain and far away from the virtuous ministers, always the cause of bad things, in order to protect himself, he has to set up another mountain, and pin the hope of national rejuvenation on the next generation of Liao emperors, that is, the King of Jin, for this purpose, he had to fight with Xiao Feng first.

According to Xiao Zhonggong, winning over this person is the best guarantee for eliminating the strength of the Hailing King's line, so he began to spare no effort to support Xiao Ming, which is a later story.

……

Xiao Ming, as the latest rising dignitary, is also a force of the uncle, this is also the tradition of the Liao State, the warriors of the Wuhuai Department must follow themselves, and it is also the force to protect Ami in the harem.

On this day, there were guests again, the emperor was about to start his account and return to Beijing, many people were packing up during this period of time, Xiao Ming didn't expect that there would be guests, the other party brought a large number of gifts, and specially sent a greeting post, and then bowed down and said: "Your Excellency King Hailing hopes that Xiao Shu's envoy will take the time to go to his big tent to go to the banquet!" ”

"Ahh Xiao Feng asked me to eat first? Xiao Ming said secretly.
