The tent where the emperor of Liao lived was made of several layers of cowhide, flying colorful gold, brilliant and brilliant, called the big tent of the leather room. The tent where the emperor of Liao lived was made of several layers of cowhide, flying colorful gold, brilliant and brilliant, called the big tent of the leather room. Yelu Longxu sat in the center, and ordered Yang Peng to sit on the horizontal head, and after a while, hundreds of civil and military officials came to see, the king of the North Court, the privy envoy of the North Court, Yu Yue, the privy envoy of the Southern Court, the general of the leather room, the little general, the commander of the horse army, the commander of the infantry army, etc., Xiao Feng couldn't remember much for a while. Yalu Guanyin and Yalu Hanyu sat around Yelu Longxu. Discuss ways to deal with Xiao Tianzuo.

That night, a feast was held in the tent, the Khitan people respected women, and Han Bing and Ye Han Yu and Ye Yu Guanyin also had to feast in the leather room. Wine is like a pool, meat is like a mountain, Ah Zi looked elated, and smiled.

When the wine was drunk, more than ten Khitan warriors pounced in front of the emperor for a play, each of them naked, grabbed and fell, and fought fiercely. Yang Peng saw that these Khitan warriors were vigorous and strong, and there was another set of martial arts between the throws, although the changes were not as good as the Central Plains warriors, but the direct attack, if used in the battle array, seemed to be more effective than the Central Plains martial arts.

The civil and military officials of the Liao State came up one by one to toast Yang Peng. Yang Peng did not refuse, the wine was dry, and after drinking, he had drunk more than three glasses, still looking calm, and everyone was shocked.

Yelu Longxu has always been brave and courageous, this time he was defeated by Yang Peng, and the whole country knew that he intended to ask Yang Peng to show his superhuman ability to cover up the humiliation of his capture, but he didn't expect Yang Peng to show his skills at the next day's martial arts competition. Yelu Longxu was overjoyed and said, "Brother, you are the first hero of my Liao Kingdom!" ”

Han Bing suddenly interjected: "No, he's the first!" Yelu Longxu smiled: "Little girl, why is he the second?" So who was the first hero? Han Bing said: "The first hero is naturally Your Majesty." Although Jin Yongsan has great ability, he must be obedient and dare not disobey, isn't he the first? ”。

Yelu Longxu laughed and said, "Well said, well said. Brother Jin, I want to seal you a big official, let me think about it, what should I do to seal you? By this time he had drunk eight or nine of his wines, and his outstretched fingers flicked a few times on his forehead. Yang Peng hurriedly said: "No, no, the villain is sloppy, he enjoys wealth and wealth, he has always roamed all over the world, and he is uncertain about coming and going to Taiwan, and he really does not want to be an official." Yelu Longxu wrote: "Okay, I will seal you a big official ......who must drink wine and do not have to do things" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sharp and rapid horn sound in the distance.

A group of Liao people were originally sitting on the ground, drinking and eating the same meat, but when they heard the sound of the horn, they suddenly roared, and they all stood up, and their faces were frightened. The sound of the trumpet came so quickly that it was more than ten miles away when it was first heard, and it was several miles away when it sounded the second time, and miles closer when it sounded the third time. Yang Peng said in his heart: "No matter how fast the horse in the world is, the first-class light body kung fu, it must not be so fast." Yes, it must have been pre-arranged to transmit the urgent news of the military situation, and as soon as the sound of the horn was heard, it was transmitted to the next station. But I heard the sound of the trumpet, and as soon as it reached the outside of the big tent in the leather room, it stopped abruptly. The officers and men in the hundreds of tents were cheering and drinking, and they were in a mess, but suddenly all of them were silent.

Yelu Longxu looked calm, slowly raised the golden cup, drank the wine, and said: "There are traitors in the camp of the Queen Mother, let's go back and set the camp."

The marching general immediately turned around and went out of the camp to give the order, but when he heard the order to "allocate the camp" became ten, ten into hundreds, and a hundred into thousands, the voice became louder and louder, but it was strict and orderly, and there was no panic and confusion. Ye Yu Hanyu pondered: "I have been in the country for 200 years, and the country's prestige is shaking in the world. ”

But listening to the sound of horses' hooves, the forward reprimanded the soldiers and galloped out, followed by the left and right vanguards, the front army, the left army, the right army, and the first team drove south to Beijing.

Yelu Guanyin took Yang Peng's hand and said, "Let's take a look." One man walked out of the tent, but saw that in the darkness of the night, a lantern was lit on every military flag, and red, yellow, blue, and white flashed and shone in various colors, and the rest of the army marched south, but heard the neighing of horses, and could not hear a human voice. Yang Peng was greatly impressed, and said in his heart: "Governing the army like this, who in the world can be an enemy?" On that day, the emperor went out hunting alone. If the army succeeds, although the Jurchens are brave, they will be outnumbered after all. ”

As soon as the two of them left the tent, the guards immediately set out for camp, and in a moment they were all cleaned and their luggage; The baggage was loaded onto the camel cart. The marshal of the Chinese army gave the order, and the Chinese army set off. The king of the North Courtyard, Yu Yue, Taishi, Taifu and others were waiting before and after Yelu Longxu, and everyone's faces were solemn, but they were silent. Although the news of the chaos in Beijing has been reported, it is not easy to understand who is the leader of the chaos and what the situation is.

The group marched south for half a day, and after camping in the evening, the first newspaper galloped to Yelu Longxu and reported: "The queen mother and Xiao Tianzuo, who were hunting in the south of the court, and the important ministers have been taken captive and occupied the palace, and the queen mother, the queen and the queen, the princes, princesses, and the families of hundreds of officials have been arrested. ”

Yelu Longxu was taken aback, and his face couldn't help but change greatly. Ye Yu Guanyin and Ye Yu Hanyu were also taken aback, this time it was really, the white tiger was in front and the yellow finch was behind

The important military affairs of the Liao State were handled by the north and south courts, and the king of the north court went out hunting with the emperor, and the king of the south court stayed in Beijing. Yelu Chun, the king of the Southern Courtyard, is the king of Chu, but his father Yelu Chongyuan is the current emperor's uncle, and the official is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but it is not trivial.

Yelu Longxu's grandfather, Yelu Yuan, is known as Shizong in Liao history. Sejong's eldest son, Jongjin, and his second son, Chongwon. Shizhen has a kind and generous personality, and Chongyuan is extremely brave and strategic. When the saint died, the will was passed on to the eldest son Longxu, but the queen of the Holy Sect liked the second son and conspired to establish Chongyuan as the emperor. For example, the Empress Dowager was extremely powerful, and at that time, Zongzhen's throne was inherently unsecure, and her life was in danger, but Chongyuan informed her brother of her mother's plan, so that the Empress Dowager's secret plan could not succeed. Zong Zhen was very grateful to this brother and made him the emperor's younger brother, which means that he will be placed in the future to reward his kindness.

Yeluzong's true Liao official was called Shizong, but after his death, the throne was not passed to the emperor's younger brother Chongyuan, but was still passed to his son Longxu.

After Yelu Longxu took over the throne, he was relieved in his heart, and named Chongyuan as the emperor's uncle, showing that he was still the crown prince of the Great Liao State, and then added the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. He also named his son Nelugu as the king of Chu, in charge of the military and political affairs of the Southern Courtyard, and was called the King of the Southern Courtyard.

At that time, Yelu Chongyuan could obviously be the emperor, but he gave it to his nephew, which shows that he is both righteous and very retiring. Yelu Longxu took Empress Dowager Xiao out to hunt and handed over all the important military affairs in Beijing to the imperial uncle, without the slightest suspicion. At this time, the message came, the rebel was actually the king of the Southern Courtyard Yeluchun, Ye Yu Guanyin was shocked and worried, knowing that Nelugu was ruthless and extremely hot, he had rebelled, and his father had no reason to do anything.

The king of the North Courtyard said: "Your Majesty is forgiving, I want the imperial uncle to understand that he will not be allowed to rebel against his son, maybe he has led troops to quell the chaos at this moment." Jerodon said, "I hope so." ”

After everyone had dinner, the second batch of newspapers rushed to report: "The king of the Southern Courtyard has established the emperor's uncle as the emperor, and he has issued an edict to the world." He did not dare to say the following words openly, and presented the edict of the new emperor with both hands. Longxu took a look and saw that the edict directly denounced Yelu Longxu as a usurper and a puppet emperor, saying that the emperor's younger brother was on the throne, and supervised the world's military horses to fight against Yunyun. Yelu Longxu was furious, threw the edict into the fire and burned it to ashes, and his heart was very worried, thinking: "This pseudo-edict is eloquent, and after the soldiers and civilians of the Liao State read it, they may inevitably fluctuate in people's hearts." Uncle Huang is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, with a handkerchief of soldiers, and more than 800,000 soldiers and horses can be adjusted, not to mention that there are still soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of his son King Chu's Southern Academy. I have only more than 10,000 people here, outnumbered, how can I be good? "I couldn't sleep this night.

Yang Peng heard that Emperor Liao was going to make him an official, so he wanted to bring Han Bing and the secret guards, and said goodbye in the night, but at this moment, seeing that Ye Yu Hanyu and Ye Yu Guanyin were in danger, it was inconvenient to leave just now. That night, he walked outside the camp, only to hear the officers and soldiers quietly talking, all saying that his parents and wives were in Beijing, and that he had been detained by the imperial uncle, but he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed. Some thought of their families and suddenly cried. The crying was contagious, and the rest of the officers and men in the battalion were in the same situation and began to cry one after another. Although the commander-in-chief tried his best to stop it, and broke a few people who cried very loudly, they could not stop it.

Yelu Longxu heard the cry that shook the sky, knowing that it was a sign of the army's discouragement, and he was even more troubled.

Early this morning, the spies came to report that the imperial uncle and the king of Chu led more than 500,000 soldiers and horses to the north. Long Xu pondered: "Today's affairs, there is no advance or retreat, even if the army is defeated, there is only a decisive battle." He immediately convened a hundred officials to discuss. The ministers were extremely loyal to Yelu Longxu and Empress Dowager Xiao, and were willing to fight to the death, but they were all worried about the morale of the army.

Emperor Longxu handed down an order: "All the officers and soldiers also strive to fight against the thief, and after the martyrdom, in addition to the promotion, the reward will be increased." "Put on the golden armor, personally lead the three armies, and counterattack the imperial uncle's military horses. When the officers and soldiers saw the emperor coming to the enemy in person, their courage was greatly boosted, and they shouted long live and swore allegiance to the death. More than 100,000 soldiers and horses were divided into four divisions: the front army, the left army, the right army, and the middle army.

Yang Peng pulled his bow and spear, followed Long Xu, and served as his personal guard. The family led a team of flying bear soldiers to protect Han Bing, Ye Yu Guanyin and Ye Yu Hanyu, and lived in the rear army. Yang Peng saw Yelu Longxu's brows furrowed, knowing that he was not sure about this battle.

At noon, I heard the sound of a trumpet in front of me. General Zhongyun ordered: "Dismount!" The horsemen jumped off their horses and took the reins of their horses, but Jerodun and the ministers remained on their horses.

Yang Peng was puzzled as to why the cavalry dismounted, and was quite puzzled. Yelu Longxu smiled: "Brother, you have been in Goryeo for a long time, and you don't understand the Khitan method of marching and fighting, right?" Yang Peng said: "I was about to ask Your Majesty for advice." Long Xu smiled: "Hehe, my majesty, I don't know if I can make it to the sun go down today." You and I are brothers, why call me Your Majesty? Long Xu heard him laugh with a bitter meaning, and said: "The two armies have not been handed over, Your Majesty does not need to worry. Long Xu said: "In the battle on the plain, the most important thing is horsepower, and when the enemy charges into battle, you can move forward. The Khitans fought in the east and west, and won every battle, which is a very important secret. ”

When he said this, the dust in the distance in front of him rose loudly, raising more than ten zhang high, like a yellow cloud surging on the ground. Long Xu pointed at the horsewhip and said: "Uncle Huang's Chu King has been in battle for a long time, and he is the great general of my Liao State, why do you drive troops to come in a hurry and not raise horsepower?" Well, they have no fear, and they are confident that they will win. Before he could finish speaking, he heard the trumpets of the left and right armies sounding at the same time. Yang Peng looked far away and saw that there were two other military horses in the east of the enemy, and two other military horses in the west, which was a situation of five enemies and one army.

Yelu Longxu's face changed color, and he said to the general of the Chinese army: "Form a formation!" The general of the Chinese army replied: "Yes!" "Horses went out, passed down the order, when the front army and the left army, the right army all turned back, a group of sergeants nailed the pillars of the leather room tent into the ground with a sledgehammer, opened the leather tent, and set up antlers around it, and in a moment, a huge wooden city was formed on the grassland, front and back, left and right, each with cavalry garrisoned, tens of thousands of archers hidden in the big wood, the bowstrings were tightened, just waiting for the arrows.

Yang Peng frowned, and said in his heart: "This big battle is fought, no matter who wins or who loses, the Khitan clan is not full of corpses, it is best to win righteously, if unfortunately defeated, I should not be able to save Ye Yu Hanyu Ye Yu Guanyin and Han Bing to a safe place." As for him, the emperor, it's just a matter of whether he does it or not. ”

Not long after the camp of Emperor Liao was formed, the rebel vanguard had arrived, but he did not come forward to challenge, and stood far away with a strong bow and a hard crossbow and could not shoot anywhere. But the sound of drums and horns was heard incessantly, and groups of rebels surrounded them, forming formations in all directions. Yang Peng looked at the general at a glance, but there was no end in sight of the enemy army all over the field, and he thought: "The emperor's troops are far away, outnumbered, I am afraid that I must lose." It is not easy to break through and escape during the day, but I can only support him until night, and I can try to save him. But I saw that the shadow of the big tree in the camp was reflected in the ground for a short time, and the scorching sun was in the sky, and it was not long after noon.

I had to babble a few times, and a flock of geese flew through the sky in a row. Yelu Longxu stared up for a long time, and said bitterly: "If you don't incarnate as a goose at this time, otherwise it will be difficult to fly with wings." "The king of the North Courtyard and the general of the Chinese army looked at each other and changed color, knowing that the emperor had seen the rebel army, and he was already timid.

The drums beat in the enemy's formation, and hundreds of leather drums rang out loudly. The general of the Chinese army shouted: "Beat the drum!" Hundreds of leather drums in the imperial camp also sounded. Suddenly, the sound of the military drums on the opposite side stopped, and the shouts of tens of thousands of cavalry shook the heavens and the earth, and they rushed straight towards them with spears.

Seeing the enemy advance rushing closer, the Chinese general ordered the flag to wave downward, the drums in the imperial camp stopped, tens of thousands of feather arrows were shot out at the same time, and the enemy forwards fell to the ground one after another. But the enemy army surged forward one after another, and the fallen horses in front became the arrows of the rear army. Enemy infantry archers shielded themselves and rushed forward to fire arrows at the imperial camp.

Yelu Longxu was quite frightened at the beginning, but when he came to the battle, his courage doubled, standing on a high place, holding a long knife, giving orders and commands, and the soldiers of the imperial camp saw that the emperor personally supervised the battle, and shouted, "Long live!" Banzai! Banzai! When the enemy heard the sound of "Long live", he looked up and saw Yelu Longxu in yellow robe and golden armor, standing on a high platform in the imperial camp, and under his prestige, he couldn't help but jump forward. Seeing the opportunity, the emperor shouted: "The left army is riding and copying, rush!" ”

The left army was led by the Northern Yuan Model Privy Envoy, and when he heard the emperor's order, 30,000 cavalry outflanked him from the side. As soon as the rebels hesitated, the imperial camp horses had already rushed in. The rebels were in disarray and retreated. The drums in the imperial camp thundered, and the rebels were defeated when they engaged in the battle. The imperial camp horses chased forward with a sharp momentum.

Yang Peng was overjoyed and shouted: "Emperor, this time we have won a big victory!" "Yelu Longxu got off the stage and stepped on his war horse and led the army to help. Suddenly, the horn sounded, the main force of the rebels arrived, and the rebel forwards reflexively fought again, and in an instant, feathered arrows and spears flew in the sky, the sound of killing shook the sky, and flesh and blood flew sideways. Yang Peng only looked at it and was secretly surprised: "I have never seen such a vicious fight in my life." A person who allows you to be invincible in the world in martial arts, but among these tens of millions of horses, it is useless, at most it is just to protect your own life. This kind of army fighting, and the group fighting competition in the martial arts is not comparable to the Japanese. ”

Suddenly, the gong behind the rebel army was heard loudly, and Mingjin withdrew his troops. The rebel cavalry retreated, and the arrows rained down, and they stopped the formation. The Chinese general and the privy envoy of the Northern Court led the army to charge three times in a row, but they all disrupted the opponent's position, and instead thousands of sergeants were shot dead. Yelu Hongji said: "There are too many casualties among the soldiers, so we will withdraw the troops for the time being." At present, the imperial camp also called in the gold and withdrew the troops.

The rebels also sent two teams of cavalry to attack, and the Chinese army had already prepared, feigning defeat and retreating, encircling the two wings together, and encircling the three thousand soldiers of the two groups of rebels, and the remaining hundreds of people dismounted and surrendered. With a left swing, the Imperial Camp Sergeant's spear stabbed hundreds of people to death. This vicious fight lasted less than an hour, but it was extremely tragic.

The main forces of the two sides withdrew dozens of feet, and the open space in the middle was covered with corpses, and the wounded shouted and wailed, which was unbearable. I saw a group of 300 black-clothed soldiers from each side of the formation, wearing yellow hats from the imperial camp and white hats from the enemy soldiers, going to the middle ground to examine the wounded. Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin only said that these people were carrying the injured back for treatment, but they didn't know that these black-clothed officers and soldiers drew out long knives and hacked the right injuries to death one by one. After all the wounded were hacked to death, 600 people shouted in unison and fought with each other.

The 600 black-clothed soldiers were not weak in martial arts, their long knives flashed, and they fought bravely, and after a short time, more than 200 people were cut down to the ground. The yellow-capped and black-clothed soldiers of the imperial camp had strong martial arts, and dozens of people were hacked to death, and it immediately became a situation where two or three people fought one person, and this time, the number of victories and defeats was even clearer. After fighting for a while, it became three or four people fighting one person. However, the officers and soldiers on both sides only shouted and cheered, and hundreds of thousands of rebels stood by and did not increase their troops to come to the rescue. In the end, the rebel army of 300 white-hatted and black-clothed soldiers was annihilated one by one, and about 200 black-clothed soldiers of the imperial camp returned to the battle. Yang Peng said in his heart that the Liao people have such rules. "Although the scale of this clean-up of the battlefield is not as large as before, the thrilling places are still excessive.

Yalu Longxu raised his long knife and said loudly: "Although the rebels are numerous, they have no fighting spirit. One more battle, and they fled! ”

The officers and soldiers of the imperial battalion shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”

Suddenly, I heard the horn of the rebel army, and the five horsemen came out slowly, and one of them in the center held a sheepskin in both hands, and read it aloud, reading the edict issued by the imperial uncle: "Yelu Longxu usurped the throne, but he is a false monarch, and now the imperial uncle is on the throne, and all the loyal officers and soldiers of my Liao State must return to Beijing on the same day to submit to the service, and all officials will be promoted to the third level." More than a dozen archers in the imperial camp fired their arrows and shot at the man with a loud sound. The four people next to the man raised their shields to protect each other, and they continued to chant, and suddenly all five horses were shot down, and the five people hid behind the shields, and finally finished reading the "edict" of the imperial uncle, turned around and withdrew.

The king of the North Courtyard saw that his subordinate officials were moved by the false edict, and shouted: "Go out and scold back!" "Thirty is: "scolding hands", the voice is loud and the throat is thick, and the first "scolding hand" scolds, what. traitor, traitor, place of death" and so on, and the second "scolder" scolded later, all kinds of foul language. Yang Peng's knowledge of the Khitan language is limited, and he doesn't understand most of the words of these scolders, but he saw Yelu Longxu nodding again and again, meaning very appreciative, thinking that these "scolders" are really brilliant.

Yang Peng looked into the enemy formation, and saw that in the distance, under the cover of the yellow cover and the big cloud, there were two people riding horses, holding horsewhips and pointing. One was dressed in a yellow robe, wearing a crown of cupola and a long gray beard under his chin, while the other was wearing gold armor, with a thin face and a fierce expression. Yang Peng pondered: "Look at this appearance, these two people are the father and son of the emperor and the prince Chu." ”

Suddenly, the ten "scolders" discussed in a low voice for a while, and all of them enlarged their throats to expose the affairs of the emperor's uncle and the king of Chu. The imperial uncle seems to be very upright, and there is nothing to scold, and the scolding of the ten people is mainly aimed at the king of Chu, saying that he committed adultery with his father's concubine, and meeting his father's power to do evil. These words were obviously trying to provoke the feelings of his father and son, and ten people shouted in unison, and the words of the scolding were the same, and the sound spread for miles, and many of the hundreds of thousands of sergeants could hear it clearly.

With a wave of the whip of the king of Chu, the rebels shouted in unison, and most of them screamed and shouted loudly, drowning out the scolding of ten people.

After the enemy was for a while, the enemy suddenly separated, pushed out dozens of cars and came to the royal camp, as soon as the car stopped, the sergeant with the car pulled out dozens of women from the car, some of them were white-haired, some were young, and their clothes and ornaments were very expensive. As soon as the women stepped out of the car, the scolding stopped.

Yelu Longxu shouted: "Mother, mother! The son caught the traitor, broke the corpse into thousands of pieces, and vented his anger for your old man. ”

The middle-aged lady is the current Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu's mother, Empress Dowager Xiao, and the rest are Empress Xiao, concubines and princesses. The imperial uncle and the king of Chu took Ye Yu Longxu and Ye Yu Guanyin, Ye Yu Hanyu discussed how to deal with Xiao Tianzuo's death, and also made chaos when hunting, and surrounded the camp of the Empress Dowager Xiao and captured Xiao Tianzuo and the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't think of the old woman and your wife and children, and fight hard to kill the thief!" Dozens of sergeants drew their long knives and put them around the necks of the concubines. The young concubine cried out in fright.

Jelu Longxu was furious and shouted, "Shoot all the women who are crying!" Only a fluttering sound was heard, and more than a dozen feathered arrows were shot out, and the crying and shouting concubines died one after another.

Empress Dowager Xiao shouted: "Your Majesty has a good shot!" Shoot well! The inheritance of our ancestors must not be destroyed in the hands of traitors. ”

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao and the Empress were so stubborn, the King of Chu not only could not coerce Longxu, but instead shook the hearts of the army, and ordered: "Escort these women into the car and retreat." The sergeants escorted the queen mother and the queen into the car again. Push into the back of the formation. The king of Chu ordered: "Escort the families of the enemy soldiers into battle!" ”

Suddenly I heard the whistling bamboo whistle, the sound was desolate, the military horses parted to the side, the sound of iron chains was endless, and rows of men, women, and children were led out from behind the formation. In an instant, the two cries shook the sky. It turned out that these people were all family members of the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp. The officers and soldiers of the imperial battalion are the Liao Emperor's pro-army, and Yelu Longxu is specially treated with preferential treatment, and allows the family to live in Beijing, one to make the pro-army grateful, and when there is something to do, it can be killed, and the other is also the meaning of imminence, so that this elite division does not dare to rebel when it goes out. There were no less than 200,000 family members of the officers and soldiers of the imperial battalion, and only 20,000 or 30,000 were sent to the front of the battle.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
