Chapter 298: Half-old Empress Dowager Xiao

Xiongzhou, Jiang Hongfei's residence.

At this time, there were only Jiang Hongfei and Sun Jing in the room.

Jiang Hongfei poured Sun Jing a cup of tea with his own hands and said, "I have no confidence in me? ”

Sun Jing cautiously took the teacup, and then shook his head: "No, on the contrary, the minister is now too confident in Guogong, and he is determined that this world must be Guogong's, so he wants to go to the south for a few years, avoid the limelight, and come back to serve Guogong again." ”

Jiang Hongfei and Sun Jing are not the same thing at all.

Jiang Hongfei knew that Sun Jing's blackmailing of the Chang Shengjun this time, in addition to helping him eliminate the hidden danger of the Chang Shengjun, which had repeatedly defected in history, was also defiling himself, to put it bluntly, he didn't want to command the army anymore, he was afraid that his merits would be high, so he wanted to go to the southeast to exchange with Wu Yong.

Now, Jiang Hongfei Chen has hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the southern border, and has also captured Yi and Zhuo Prefectures, and the Jurchen soldiers and horses have reached Fengsheng Prefecture in the west, and half of the Kyushu Prefecture behind the mountains has fallen into his hands, and Yelu Yanxi is going to lead the army to Yanjing.

In a flash, more than ten years have passed, and he has come to the end of his life.

The imperial doctors who were waiting beside them hurriedly stepped forward to rescue.

Ye Luchun waved his hand to let Li Chu warm up, and then closed his eyes, as if asleep.

A few years ago, Gao Yongchang, the general of the Bohai people in Tokyo, rebelled, killed Xiao Baoxian, who was left behind in Tokyo, and established himself as the emperor of the Great Bohai Kingdom, controlling more than 50 prefectures in Liaodong.

In addition, according to tradition, the clothing of the Han people in the Central Plains is mainly on the right side, and the clothing of the nomads is mainly on the left. According to common sense, after the Changsheng army returned to Shuibo Liangshan, they should abide by the dress code of the Han people and change to wear the right side to keep their hair, but the officers and soldiers of the Changsheng army ignored these and kept wholesale the left side.

Li Chuwen knew that Xiao Puxiannu had already joined hands with Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi, and they had already made arrangements in secret, but he didn't expect them to act so quickly.

Listening to Sun Jing's heartfelt words, Jiang Hongfei took a long time: "Alas, if the military adviser insists on this, then Baihua will trouble the military advisor." ”

On the surface, it seems that this matter is because Sun Jing coveted Chang Shengjun's money and persecuted Chang Shengjun, Jiang Hongfei knew about it, he was furious, regardless of Sun Jing's hard work, and pushed Sun Jing to the end, avenged Chang Shengjun, compensated Guo Yaoshi, and appeased Chang Shengjun's family.

Yeluchun remembered the scene when he married Xiao Puxian more than ten years ago, at that time, the Liao State had not yet exposed its demise, he was not yet fifty years old, it was a good time for a man, and he was full of spirit, so he ignored the huge age gap of thirty years between him and Xiao Puxian, and married Xiao Puxian, who was known as the "first beauty of Liao", back as his stepfamily.

Yeluchun said to Xiao Pu, "After I die, you have to do it yourself. I am afraid that sooner or later I will be affected by the matter of my ascension to the throne and the title of emperor. When also? Fate? After speaking, he wept silently.

Later, Yelu Yanxi awarded Yelu Chun, the king of Yan, the marshal of the capital, and ordered him to go to the conquest. Yeluchun recruited hungry people in Liaodong and formed an army, known as the "Grievance Army", which means the army that complained about the Jurchens.

Guo Yaoshi hurriedly said: "Weichen is really like this, and I hope that the country will be fulfilled!" ”

Otherwise, Jiang Hongfei didn't say anything more.

Yeluchun was shocked, and he hurriedly instructed Xiao Gan: "Hurry up and gather the ministers and come here to discuss countermeasures." ”

When Xiao Gan led his troops to the Yaochi Palace, Ye Luchun had already stopped breathing.

Jiang Hongfei rejected Sun Jing's request for Zhishi, but only pushed Sun Jing to the end, sent him to Fuzhou, and made meritorious contributions.

But Sun Jing resolutely did not take this risk, he insisted: "Although the literati who have no power to restrain the chicken, although they have read some military books and war strategies in their early years, where do they really know how to lead the army to fight? Before the national government did not have the command of the army, the minister was the top, now the national government under the generals are handsome and handsome, the national government to implement the civil and military division is a good policy to govern the country, the minister is a lazy character, unwilling to take the military road, even unwilling to be an official, just the rapid retreat, safe and steady as a strategist, this is exactly what the minister wants. ”

The ministers looked at each other and were speechless.

Everyone was submissive, and no one dared to raise objections.

In front of Xiao Puxian's daughter, Yeluchun personally wrote a codex (that is, a letter of appointment) to Li Chuwen, conferred Li Chuwen as the marshal of the Panhan Mabu Army, and instructed: "After my death, you must welcome the succession of Yeluding, the king of Qin, and there must be no mistake." ”

Then, Jiang Hongfei issued an order to bury the soldiers killed in the Chang Shengjun and compensate the families of the Chang Shengjun, and ordered the officials of Licao to do their best to help the families of the Chang Shengjun reorganize their new homes.

Guo Yaoshi carefully worded and said tentatively: "Emperor Tianzuo is the former lord of Weichen, so the lord fled, and the minister returned to the country." The ministers of the state can do anything, and the ministers will never give up, but this is the only thing that I hope the state will hand over to others to do. Wechen is loyal to the country, just as Wechen was loyal to the old lord back then. If there is rebellion against the old master, what else can Wei Chen use to be loyal to ......"

Xiao Gan disagreed, and said: "There are also those who are loyal and righteous for a while, how can they be killed?" ”

Later, it was Li Chuwen and Xiao Gan who advocated the implementation of the countermeasure of "welcoming Qin and rejecting Hunan".

Yeluchun was half-lying on the bed, looked at the ministers and said: "There is a spy report today that the king of Xiangyin will lead 50,000 elite cavalry out of Jiashan in August and come to Nanjing. What do you think we can do? ”

This is normal, because Li Chuwen is Han, and Jiang Hongfei has also proved his strength.

Jiang Hongfei said: "Okay, since you want to be a staff officer, then I will fulfill you." ”

Yelu Yu suggested to Xiao Gan: "The year before last, the two battalions rebelled and plundered Qianzhou, and they have been recruited from Zhao'an. This year, the whole army rebelled, and attacked Jinzhou, but our army did not come, and tens of thousands of residents were killed when the city was broken. The so-called resentful army, failed to complain about the Jin people, and repeatedly complained against my family, if you take advantage of it to disarm, send troops to cover up and kill all the troubles. ”

Guo Yaoshi believed in his own instincts very much, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Wechen commanded the army at the age of seventeen, and he has been working for thirty years, and he is really tired of commanding the army. ”

Li Chuwen was shocked when he heard the news: "Xiao Gan led the army into the city, it must have been arranged by Concubine Xiao De!" Alas, I'm a step slower! ”

On this day, Ye Luchun, who was sick in bed, suddenly saw some black bats flying around in the Yaochi Palace.

But Guo Yaoshi, who was the party concerned, clearly felt that it must be because Jiang Hongfei was not worried about their Chang Shengjun, so Sun Jing dealt with Chang Shengjun.

The ministers agreed to this countermeasure.

Ye Luchun stopped: "This is a loyal minister, you can't kill it." If the king of Xiangyin comes to Nanjing, I will only die, and I will have no face to meet him! ”

The so-called "Xiang" refers to Yelu Yanxi, the lord of Liao, because he has been demoted to the king of Xiangyin by the Northern Liao government.

Yes.

Xiao Puxian felt that Ye Luchun's condition was getting worse and worse.

Since then, Ye Luchun has been like a pastemaker, constantly mending the leaky dilapidated house of the Great Liao Empire, hoping that it will last a little longer.

He has failed Xiao Puxian, but he also has a last resort.

After a pause, Sun Jing said again: "Now my Shuibo Liangshan is not the same as in the past, some rules should be established, then start from the minister, as for the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, you can teach Liu Niangzi, Jia Niangzi to command, Zhu Junjun, Chen Guozhang, Gongsun Junshi, Wu Junshi, Wen Junshi, Xu Niangzi, Wang Niangzi and others to assist, after the recovery of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the military generals trained by Guogong will also grow up, just to fully implement the division of civil and military. ”

……

I heard that Zhuozhou was also lost, and Chang Sheng's army surrendered to Jiang Hongfei, and Yeluchun, the emperor of Tianxi in Northern Liao, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then he couldn't afford to be sick.

Seeing that Ye Luchun's condition was getting worse and worse, Li Chuwen hurriedly sent someone to secretly inform the ministers of the Khitan and Xi tribes, saying that His Majesty was in critical condition, and asked everyone to come to the Yaochi Hall to serve the sick quickly.

In addition, Jiang Hongfei promoted Guo Yaoshi to the general of the Left Guard, and rewarded him with 50,000 yuan of spiritual money.

Yelu Chun didn't know that he was sorry for Xiao Puxian, for the sake of the Great Liao Empire, he sent Xiao Puxian to Yelu Yanxi, and was imprisoned by Yelu Yanxi for many years.

It wasn't until the next morning that Yeluchun woke up leisurely.

Sun Jing didn't stay in Xiongzhou for a day, and took a boat to the south early the next morning.

Li Chuwen tearfully agreed.

"Those who prohibit violence take not killing as their martial arts, and their benevolence and righteousness are their teachers; The people of the domain regard fraternity as the public and show virtue with prestige. Jiang Yan is a martyr and restores the strategy of his predecessors. Xingnian Yanyun, a long time to become a Hulu, the old family, scattered by the chiefs of the four provinces; Hiroya Okawa, the origin of Jiugi ......"

Xiao Gan carried out a large-scale reorganization of the resentment army, leaving only 2,000 men and horses, organized into four battalions, which were led by Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, and Zhen Wuchen, and the rest of the men and horses were scattered and sent to various forbidden armies.

Now that Pharmacist Guo looks back, it may be precisely because of their actions that Jiang Hongfei's suspicions have been aroused, that is, they have completely lifted a stone and shot themselves in the foot.

Actually, Yeluchun didn't sleep, he really couldn't sleep.

After receiving the notice, the ministers of Fanhan in Northern Liao all came to the Yaochi Hall of Miyagi for a meeting.

Xiao Gan immediately blocked the news, imposed martial law on the imperial city, and ordered the ministers to come to the Yaochi Palace to discuss matters.

In fact, there are no bats in the hall at all, this is just Yeluchun's hallucination.

Xiao Puxian hurriedly called someone to drive the bats away in the main hall.

It was the night of June 24.

Guo Yaoshi hurriedly replied: "Weichen is a person who has been captured far away, and today he has been greatly favored by heaven and earth, and he swears allegiance to the prince of the country, even if he is in the soup fire, he is white, and his bones are broken, and he is willing. No matter what, Wechen will definitely handle it with a mortal heart. ”

But Yelu Chun just married Xiao Puxian daughter back, the Liao State began to have frequent civil strife, and later, the Jurchen alliance leader Wu Yashu died of illness, A Guda succeeded as the head of the alliance, called the capital Bo extremely fierce, the Liaojin War soon broke out, and then Gao Yongchang, a descendant of the nobles of the Bohai State, raised troops against Liao, occupied Liaoyang Mansion in Liaodong, Liaoning, and proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Bohai Sea, and soon founded the country.

Jiang Hongfei glanced at Pharmacist Guo deeply and confirmed, "Are you sure you want to take the road of a staff officer?" ”

These three sharp arrows are all going to be shot at Yanjing, how can Yanjing be saved?

Ye Luchun slowly opened his eyes, looked at the half-aged Xiao Puxian, and couldn't help but think: "After I die, this beauty doesn't know who is cheaper, alas~~~!! ”

In this edict, Jiang Hongfei blamed himself for not taking care of the Chang Shengjun.

Then, Xiao Gan and Yelu Yujian led the army to quell the rebellion, and were ordered to completely solve the problem of the rebellion of the resentful army.

It is normal for Pharmacist Guo to be able to guess the original situation, because no one knows better than him what is going on with Chang Shengjun.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, sprinkled with wooden lattice windows, Yelu Chunjue was particularly refreshed today, and he asked Xiao Puxian to inform Li Chuwen to come to the audience.

Soon, Sun Jing wrote a confession by herself, asking Zhishi: "The ministers of the state are not exhaustive, and the ministers are not dedicated." The fate of the minister Bo You, take the yin and yang, the internal accumulation of worries, external injuries and fatigue, self-mourning, hanging shadows, and winning the heavenly people, Mo Zhi. If Xu Chen also seals the ribbon, retreats to live in the house, gets out of the turbulent turmoil, and reaps the credit in the domain of Sangyu's decline, people are not ghosts, and they are less slow and turbulent, and they will always say that this grace is for the ultimate benefit......"

Sun Jing said with a smile: "Wu Junshi has a very good foundation in the southeast, and Chen Xiao Guicao is casual." ”

After Yeluchun was proclaimed emperor, Xiao Gan recommended Guo Yaoshi to come to Yanjing to serve as the emperor's palace official, that is, the emperor's attendant officer.

Their ever-winning army has already voted for Jiang Hongfei, but they open their mouths to be loyal to Yelu Yanxi and close their mouths to be loyal to Yelu Yanxi, which seems to be a sign of loyalty, but in fact, it can be regarded as a "lingering affection" for the old lord Yelu Yanxi, the key Yelu Yanxi is not dead now, in case Yelu Yanxi comes back from Jiashan to recruit their Changsheng army, then will their Changsheng army respond to Yelu Yanxi's call, or continue to stay in Jiang Hongfei to serve here?

The key is that Jiang Hongfei is not a weak Zhao Ji, how can he get used to these stinky problems of the Chang Shengjun?

Since the Chang Shengjun is not wholeheartedly attached, Jiang Hongfei would rather spend a little money and solve the Chang Shengjun once and for all.

After the ministers of Northern Liao came to the imperial city, they saw that there were three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

As for Sun Jing's greed for the money of the Chang Shengjun for self-defilement, Jiang Hongfei didn't ask Sun Jing to spit it out, so let Sun Jing stay at ease.

Hearing what Pharmacist Guo said, Jiang Hongfei nodded with a smile.

Therefore, after Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun returned to Liangshan, they were always worried that Jiang Hongfei would doubt their loyalty, so they tried their best to find an opportunity to show their loyalty. Whenever they talked about Yelu Yanxi, they immediately changed their faces and said: "Emperor Tianzuo is our old master, if the old master is still here, how dare we surrender to the prince?" Because the Lord had fled, and we swore not to submit to the Jurchens, we surrendered to the Lord. ”

Jiang Hongfei said: "I want to catch Emperor Tianzuo, if you meet him, I will arrest him, so that the people of Yanshan no longer have illusions about him, what do you think?" ”

Pharmacist Guo was sweating profusely!

- Pharmacist Guo realized that he had said the wrong thing, he had guessed correctly before, Jiang Hongfei wanted him not to clean himself, but to be loyal to Jiang Hongfei, Jiang Hongfei even said: "If you still have the old master in your heart, how can I use you?" ”

Crying and crying, Yeluchun suddenly coughed and became breathless, and with his head tilted back, he fainted again.

Pharmacist Guo immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your grace!" ”

Suddenly, Jiang Hongfei changed the topic and said, "By the way, I still want to entrust you with something, is it okay?" ”

Xiao Gan loudly announced to the ministers of Northern Liao: "In accordance with His Majesty's dying will, Yelu, the son of Emperor Tianzuo, will be appointed as the emperor, and the princess Xiao will be the queen mother." Because Yeluding was far away in Jiashan with his father, the Empress Dowager Xiao was in charge of the affairs of the military state. ”

But if he hadn't done that at that time, the Great Liao Empire would have fallen apart at that time.

Looking at Ye Luchun, who was gray-haired, haggard, skinny, and starless, the ministers of Northern Liao were both sad and anxious.

After saying this, Yeluchun howled and cried.

When Li Chuwen heard this, he was furious, and he wanted to put Yelu Ning to death for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army.

If you think about it, too.

Jiang Hongfei said: "I am very pleased that General Guo can understand the righteousness and lead the army to surrender to Liangshan and help me recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. The general is both civil and military, and he is a rare handsome talent, but unfortunately the winning army is no longer there, alas...... Otherwise, I will rebuild a victorious army for the general? ”

Later, Yeluchun renamed the resentful army as the Changsheng Army, and promoted Guo Yaoshi to the general of Weishang, the commander of the Changsheng army, and the Zhuozhou guard.

So it's better to let Xiao Puxian give it a try.

However, when Li Chuwen arrived at the Yingchun Gate, the gatekeeper reported to him that the king of the Fourth Army had led 3,000 elite cavalry into the city in a hurry.

Pharmacist Guo really wants to agree, I want to think very much!

However, Yelu Ning raised an objection when the southern camp was deployed: "If the king of Xiangyin can capture Yanjing with the remnants of his army, it means that his destiny has not been fulfilled, how can we refuse?" King Ye Luding of Qin is his son, if he wants to refuse, he will refuse together, how can there be a reason to welcome his son and reject his father? ”

Speaking of this, Pharmacist Guo saw that Jiang Hongfei was looking at him with a smile.

Sure enough, Yeluchun was in a trance for a while, sober for a while, and his mind was groggy.

Ye Luchun said to Xiao Pu Xiannu: "In this blue sky and daylight, how can there be bats flying in? Where did they fly in? Get them out! ”

As soon as he heard this, Pharmacist Guo changed color!

Two days later, Xiao Gan hurriedly came to the Yaochi Hall and whispered to Ye Luchun: "Your Majesty, the minister has just received a spy report, saying that the king of Xiangyin has gathered Fanhan soldiers and horses from Tiande, Yunnei, Shuo, Wu, Ying, Wei and other places in Jiashan, claiming to have 50,000 elite cavalry, preparing to leave Jiashan in August and come to Nanjing. ”

Jiang Hongfei felt that Sun Jing was so careful because he had no confidence in his own mind, he would not kill heroes like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, and his target was Liu Xiu.

Jiang Hongfei then issued an edict on the grounds of recovering the lost lands of Yizhou and Zhuozhou, and pardoned the two places, and the edict said:

Yelu Yanxi sent the prime minister Zhang Lin to attack, and Zhang Lin was defeated by the Jurchens in Shenzhou.

The so-called "Qin" refers to Yelu Yanxi's son Yeluding, the king of Qin.

Li Chuwen wanted to throw himself into the water to park Liangshan.

But he couldn't control it anymore.

Thinking about this, Guo Yaoshi hurriedly changed his words: "Weichen is already a staff officer, when there is no chance to meet Emperor Tianzuo, if Weichen really meets Emperor Tianzuo, it is the will of heaven to teach Weichen and Emperor Tianzuo to break off like this, and Weichen will capture Emperor Tianzuo and dedicate it to the prince!" ”

Ye Luchun knew that Xiao Puxian's female personality was strong, extremely capable, and ambitious, and after his death, most of the Northern Liao would fall into the hands of Xiao Puxian.

But Guo Yaoshi keenly felt that Jiang Hongfei didn't trust him, if he dared to choose to continue to lead the army, then he would follow in the footsteps of those Changsheng soldiers who were killed by Sun Jing.

Based on these speculations, after seeing Jiang Hongfei wearing a robe of big beads, Yingluo, sewing silk, and gold and green yarn, Guo Yaoshi hurriedly paused at His Royal Highness, and said with tears in his eyes: "Wechen is in Yiyu and hears the Duke of the Kingdom, it's really like being in the sky, I didn't expect to see the face of the Duke of the Kingdom with my own eyes today, and Wechen died for this, and I am very proud!" ”

Taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, Li Chuwen quietly left the palace. He wanted to close the gate of Yanjing City, block Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi and other generals from the city gate, and then send someone to Xiongzhou to contact Jiang Hongfei and let Jiang Hongfei lead the army to come, and then he opened the door to welcome the surrender.

Judging by the short history of the Resentment Army, this is a team with a tradition of rebellion.

Judging by the short history of the Resentment Army, this is a team with a tradition of rebellion.

Jiang Hongfei is still very relieved of Sun Jing's ability, and believes that with his assistance to Fang Baihua, there should be no problems in the southeast.

After the establishment of the resentment army, rebellions broke out one after another, especially in the first month of last year, Dong Xiaocun, the general of the resentment army, was executed because of the unfavorable conquest of Lizhou, and the rebellion occurred, and his subordinate general Luo Qinghan and others led the army to rebel and attack Jinzhou. Guo Yaoshi acted in time to kill Luo Qinghan and other rebels, and his meritorious service stood out.

The key is that even if he defeats Xiao Puxian, he can't solve the current predicament of the Great Liao Empire.

Xiao Puxian immediately changed her name to "Dexing", making no secret of her ambitions......
