Chapter 272 captured Liaoyang Mansion, Yelu Hongji died
With the addition of the new army, the rebel army also has a certain size.
However, as for the idea of occupying Xinzhou as a land, none of the three, including Murong Fu, Han Baizhan and Zong Ze, thought about it.
Don't look at their repeated victories, they have not been defeated, and even the number of men and horses has increased to as many as 40,000, but if they dare to build a nest, they will inevitably be retaliated by the Liao army.
Now they are also waiting, waiting not for the Song court to repel the Liao State, but for the Liao army to break through the two passes of Taiyuan and Bazhou and drive directly to the Song Realm.
As long as the large army of the Liao army invades the south, they will have the opportunity to occupy the land of a state and deal with the Liao army, otherwise, they may face the crazy encirclement and suppression of the Liao army at any time.
Despite this somewhat unkindness, there are always only winners and losers in marching and fighting, no one will care how glorious you win, and no one will want to know how heroic you are losing, success is left to the victors.
In this way, after half a year of fierce battle with the Liao army, Taiyuan was the first to be broken by the iron cavalry of the Liao army, driven to Xitangbo, and was blocked by the Great Wall of Water.
In the following month, Yelu Yanxi also frequently dispatched troops to break through the Yijin Pass and was blocked outside the Hejian Mansion of the Great Wall of Water.
Sure enough, as Zong Ze expected, after learning the news, the seed master Dao withdrew from Yanmen Pass, leaving the deputy general and 150,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, and withdrew to the rear with the remaining men and horses to block the Liao soldiers.
With the good commander of the seed master Dao, the Liao army tried to cross the river by boat several times, but he led the navy to repel it, and caused the Liao army to suffer heavy losses.
In just one month, more than 50,000 Liao troops were annihilated, and for a while, neither the army led by the king of the Northern Courtyard nor the eastern expeditionary army of the crown prince Yelu Yanxi dared to cross the river easily.
As for cooperating with the army from the rear of Yanmen Pass, they did not dare to act rashly, after all, there was a large army led by Shi Dao in the rear, and they were only afraid that if Yanmen Pass could not be breached, their hundreds of thousands of people would be destroyed.
In this way, the battle situation returned to the battlefield outside Yanmen Pass.
Seeing that the time had come, the rebel army led the assembled 50,000 people to attack Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo.
With the cooperation of Zhang Ru, the second and fifth boys, the righteous army took the rich land of one of the five capitals of the Liao State at a very low price.
When the news was transmitted back to the Liao army camp, it is said that Yelu Hongji was so angry that he vomited blood three liters, so that he fell ill on the couch and never got up again.
The news that the rebel army had taken Liaoyang Mansion with only 50,000 people also spread back to the territory of the Song Kingdom, which caused the whole country to boil for a while, and they applauded it one after another, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.
Liaoyang Mansion as one of the companion capitals of the Liao State, the significance is naturally extraordinary, which is equivalent to Luoyang, Shangqiu and other places in the Great Song Dynasty, if it is captured by the Liao army, the people of the Song Dynasty will also mourn, and there is a sense of sadness and twilight in the autumn and twilight of the country.
Fortunately, it was the Liao State that suffered this time, and the whole country celebrated, and under the elimination of the other, the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, while the Liao State was frustrated by the army, and did not launch an attack on Yanmen Pass for half a month.
It is said that the king of the North Courtyard and the crown prince Yelu Yanxi have rushed back to the main camp, and it is rumored that Yelu Hongji has died soon since he fell seriously ill, and he has the intention of passing on the throne.
Thinking of the new emperor of Liao State taking over, maybe this battle would not have to be fought, and for a while, the people of Song Kingdom danced with joy and smiles on their faces.
In this way, another month passed, and the former army came with the news that the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji had died and passed the throne to the crown prince Yelu Yanxi.
The reactions and attitudes given by the Song Kingdom are also different.
The people thought that this war, which had been fought for more than a year, should be over here.
And the officials in the DPRK and China began to think, when Zhezong died and Huizong succeeded to the throne, the Liao State did not invade the Great Song Dynasty in the name of benevolence and righteousness, and now Yelu Hongji died, and the crown prince Yelu Yanxi succeeded to the throne, at this time it was the best time for them to defeat the Liao army, once they missed it, it would be difficult to have it again!
But if you send troops at this moment, you will inevitably fall into the hands of others.
The secret sons of the Murong family, led by Han Zhongyan, naturally hoped that this battle would continue, but after figuring out the meaning of Huizong, they found that this official family did not want to fight, and even planned to take this opportunity to make peace with the Liao army.
Seeing this situation, Han Zhongyan also hurriedly passed the news to Murong Fu.
"It seems that we overestimated Zhao Ji!"
In the room, Murong Fu said to Han Baizhan, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Han Baizhan said: "If you want to make Song Liao's soldiers more than fighting, the most important thing depends on the attitude of Liao...... Or rather, the attitude of the new emperor is more accurate. ”
"This person is ambitious and talented, but he is a faint king, there is nothing to worry about, I am only afraid that after he inherits the unification, he will be complacent for a while, be content with pleasure, and no longer think about the southern invasion, which will ruin my plan!"
Yelu Yanxi is the last emperor of the Liao State, a good servant, far loyal and upright, and a complete mediocre king, if the Liao State is made the emperor by him, Murong Fu not only does not have the slightest worry, but will secretly celebrate in his heart.
But at this time, Song Liao had been confronted for a long time, and Yelu Yanxi had suffered several defeats in Hejian Mansion, and Murong Fu was afraid that he would be afraid of the might of the Song army and would not dare to fight again.
If the two countries don't fight, his exploits will come to an end!
Han Baizhan obviously also thought of this section, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Xiao Wunan, the king of the Northern Court of Liao, is a military general of the Ming Dynasty, and this person will most likely prevent Yelu Yanxi from continuing to invade the Song Dynasty in the south. ”
"In a short period of time, it will definitely not be able to fight! Song Guo will probably not take the initiative to send troops to pursue, so he can only take this opportunity to try to provoke the relationship between these two, maybe it will have a miraculous effect! ”
Murong thought about it and said.
Han Baizhan said: "It is said that Yelu Yanxi has always wanted to avenge Zhaoxue for his grandmother Xuanyi Empress Xiao Guanyin and his father Yelu Jun, and kill Yixin's henchmen, why don't you make an article from here first?" ”
In that year, Yelu Yixin, the minister of the Liao State, caused chaos in the court, created a case of injustice in Shixiang, framed the queen Xiao Guanyin and the official Zhao Weiyi for fornication, and caused Yelu Hongji to believe it by mistake and gave him death.
Later, he and his party falsely accused the then crown prince Yelu Jun of attempting to rebel, so that the prince was demoted to a concubine and was stolen and killed in prison by Yelu Yixin.
At that time, if it weren't for Xiao Wuna, the Xuanhui envoy of the Northern Court, to remind Yelu Hongji to beware of the emperor's grandson being harmed, I was afraid that Yelu Yanxi would also be assassinated.
Today, although Yelu Yixin has already been ambushed, his henchmen are still alive, and the grievances of his grandmother Xiao Guanyin and father Yelu Jun have not been redressed.
With the upright character of Xiao Wuna, the king of the Northern Courtyard, most of them will speak at this time, and postpone the matter on the grounds of Yelu Hongji's death.
Murong Fu has planted shadows among the eunuchs of various countries, and at this time, as long as someone blows the wind in Yelu Yanxi's ear, it will naturally arouse Yelu Yanxi's disgust with Xiao Wuna.
With this premise, even if Xiao Wuna proposed to withdraw from the army and shake hands with the Song court, Yelu Yanxi would inevitably contradict him and would not easily agree.
"Because this book is a single book, the plot content is not very long, and it looks like it's almost over, plus I have something to go to the hospital these days, so the update may be very late, and the number of chapters will be relatively reduced, so I'm sorry first!"
