Chapter 458: Toyosu is unique
In the midst of the flirtatious bowl, all the important people gathered together, and everyone was looking at Yelu Ruan. Because most people still don't understand why Yelu Ruan deliberately provoked Feng Hui. Today's Toyosu is equivalent to nothing, but Toyosu will bring benefits to the Quartet, so it has not been targeted. Although Feng Hui is a small character, now that they only have 5,000 people, it is not wise to deliberately provoke Feng Hui.
Yelu Ruan said: "You must be very curious why I deliberately provoked the city lord of Fengzhou City, and asked Feng Hui to provide us with food and wine in the name of Yelu Anduan, the king of Khitan Ming, in fact, our army is not short of these things. The backyard troops still have enough food to feed us for two months. ”
Before the monarch could speak, Yelu Ruan had already expressed their thoughts. First of all, it is Yelu Ruan's wisdom, and secondly, I want them to know that they have absolute qualifications to be the emperor, not only will they develop, but they also have a very good understanding of people's hearts.
Liao State Da Tiyin Yelu Haili said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are unknown. With the strength of our army, it is enough to go directly into the desert without wasting time here. Besides, saving people is like fighting fire, King Shou's life is on the line, if you provoke a person born of a robber like Feng Hui, I am afraid it will not be good for our army. ”
"There is a saying in the Central Plains, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?" said Yelu: "This sentence means that you are not allowed to sleep there by your own bed, even if he is not sleeping in his own bed." The same is true for the army, Fengzhou City is Feng Hui's territory, we will bring the five army soldiers here, if there is no clear purpose, Feng Hui may not be able to sleep all night. So I'm going to tell him a purpose so that he doesn't attack us. If he really ran directly into the desert, maybe he would send troops to pursue him. ”
Everyone nodded, and that made sense. If you lead your troops to defend the city, and for some reason an army passes by, you will definitely find a way to go out of the city to meet the attack. But if the person tells himself the purpose, then there is a deal, at least there will be no unnecessary misunderstanding.
Of course, these people don't understand, they just don't think about it. Because the Khitan has always been strong, they will not show friendship to this kind of small town, and anyone present can easily take Fengzhou, so they look down on a small place like Fengzhou. What's more, this time the Khitan Emperor drove his own expedition, and there were also the guards of King Shenwu and King Ming, and the small Fengzhou City would not be diapered, which was already considered bold enough.
But what Yelu Ruan said is true. Sure enough, the Khitans were still too light on the enemy, and many times they didn't take other people's armies seriously, thinking that as long as their own army rushed over, any city would be in ruins.
Yelu Ruan asked, "Master Zongxin, what do you think of this plan?"
Zong Xin nodded and didn't speak, because this was not a matter at all, it was just a very ordinary greeting, and by the way, he hit others to grab some money and food...... The Khitan people's attainments in the art of war are really not high. But because the Khitan soldiers are all brave, they can have today's status. If the Han army had been commanded like this, it would have perished long ago.
Yeluanduan and Yeluzhen also understood his intentions, but of course they were different from Zongxin and thought it was a good plan. In fact, the original meaning of these two people was to go directly into the desert, and there was no need to say hello to Fengzhou City at all, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really not considered, so it was better to say hello. From this point of view, Yelu Ruan is also a usable material in military affairs.
It's a pity that both Jeruan and Jeruzhen feel pity. If this person is his son, he must support him to ascend to the throne, let him sit firmly on the country, and never want to kill him.
Yeluan said, "Your Majesty, how long are we going to stay here?"
"It won't take long, two days will be enough. As long as Feng Hui knows that we are not hostile, then he can rest assured that there is a way, and we can enter the desert unimpeded. By the way, we can still rest and recuperate at the edge of Toyosu City when we return home, after all, this trip is full of crises, and maybe we will be very embarrassed when we return to Toyoshu. ”
Both Jeremien and Jerujin agreed with him, and it should be. First of all, he said that there was no hostility, and at the same time, he also said that his side was an existence that you could not provoke, so that they could provide a lot of assistance for free, after all, a small Fengzhou city must be bullied by all parties. If they don't attack, they are already enough to save face.
In fact, the Khitan's attitude towards Fengzhou was not bad, because the Khitan needed Fengzhou's foreign trade, so they had not attacked them. The same is true for the Turks and Tibetans, who are mutually beneficial, and there is no conflict of interest, so they can coexist peacefully.
The only one who has ever used troops against Fengzhou City is the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Chong wants to get the fat of Fengzhou, and has sent troops to Fengzhou many times, but because Fengzhou is located in the extreme north, and the environment outside Fengzhou is harsh, and there are Khitan Tubo tigers eyeing the city, so Liu Chong only tentatively attacked a few times, and did not dare to send a large army to forcibly attack the city.
After a few times, Liu Chong finally understood that if the Khitan and Tubo did not give way, they would not be able to capture Fengzhou City. As soon as the soldiers arrived in Toyoshu, they suffered from heat stroke, and it was common for them to lose their physical strength during the siege of the city, and if they lived in such a harsh environment all year round, they could not adapt to the climate there. Fighting a war also depends on the time and place, which the Northern Han Dynasty does not have anything to do with at all, and if you want to forcibly attack the city, you must crush it with strong troops, but the conditions of Fengzhou do not allow him to do so.
Gradually, Liu Chong also gave up Fengzhou, anyway, his position was too poor, even if he forcibly seized it, he would not be able to garrison, but would be attacked by other forces. What's more, if Fengzhou is defeated, those businessmen will not go to Fengzhou to do business again, and Fengzhou will not make money, so Fengzhou City can be called chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it.
Zong Xin took two steps forward and said: "Since you want to stay here for two days, the poor monk will take a temporary vacation and take his family to Fengzhou City for two days, I don't know if Your Majesty can allow it?"
Yelu Ruan was really a little reluctant when he heard Zong Xin say this. Because when Zongxin was lecturing to Tianya during this time, everyone was listening, and suddenly felt that his intelligence was inspired. The usual perspective on the world has also changed, so Yelu Ruan really doesn't want Zongxin to leave, and hopes to listen to Zongxin's lectures more.
However, Zongxin was originally a free man, and no one could stop him from going wherever he wanted. What's more, as a Han person, staying in the Khitan military camp all the time must have a lot of inconveniences. It would not be bad for him to go to the place where the Han people live for two days.
"Okay, no matter where Master Zongxin wants to go, no one can stop him. Yelu Ruan said: "Master Zongxin is our honored guest of the Khitan, although the Khitan is not in harmony with the Han people, but Master Zongxin is the exception. I admire martial arts and smart people the most. Master Zongxin doesn't have to tell him in the future, the Khitan military camp comes and goes freely. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
After thanking the letter, he slowly withdrew from the camp. However, the generals around him were very worried, because Zong Xin had been in the bowl for so long and knew the situation here well. If he went to Fengzhou City to report the secret, and united Feng Hui to attack the bowl, it would be called capsizing in the gutter.
"Your Majesty, is it inappropriate to let a Han person come and go freely like this?" Yelu Haili said: "The minister knows that Master Zongxin is powerful, but because of this, the minister is afraid of him. A Han man as smart as him should be killed first and then quickly according to the idea of the minister, and he should not be allowed to live at all, let alone let him be free. ”
Yelu Ruan said: "Do you think we can kill him?" Master Zongxin's current skills, I'm afraid that there are only a handful of people in the entire military camp who can beat him, not to mention the cooperation of the eighteen horsemen of Youyun, plus his two wives are also first-class masters, except for the Shenwu King, we can't do anything about him." King Shenwu has a very good personal relationship with Master Zongxin, as long as he doesn't make a move, I'm afraid that even if King Ming makes a move, he may not be able to take Master Zongxin's life. ”
Yelu Haili nodded, although he was unhappy, but what His Majesty said was right, Master Zongxin was not only smart, but also extremely high in martial arts. He had actually learned the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Technique of the Divine Martial King, and he had practiced to the high realm of the seventh layer, so it was not easy to kill him.
Of course, there are many reasons why Zongxin is afraid. His two ladies are indeed first-class masters, although they rarely see these two women, but they have also heard of how high their martial arts are, one of them is the eldest lady of Dugu Valve, and the other is the eldest disciple of the demon concubine Yaochi who is alive in the hands of King Shenwu. Although the demon concubine Yaochi was defeated at the hands of the Shenwu King, and she was able to survive with the large number of forbidden troops, being able to fight with the Shenwu King like this is enough to prove that she is also a top master.
Everyone stared at the Divine Martial King, and if he was willing to make a move, these people would not be a problem at all. Seeing that the Shenwu King was a little shy, could it be that these people were blaming themselves? They didn't think about the result of attacking Zong Xin? I don't want to carry this black cauldron.
Yelu Zhen said: "Don't stare at me, my personal relationship with Zongxin is not so good, it's just that this monk is too shameless, knowing that I don't dare to kill him, so he has been staying at my house and refusing to leave." ”
"King Shenwu, if you want to kill him, it's easy, but you teach him the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique, you must know that this martial art is unique in the world, you say that your relationship with him is not good, who believes it?"
The kingdom of Jerulu did not have any real status, but now his status was second only to Jeruzhen and Jeruanduan. The reason is simple, because he is the half-brother of Yelu Ruan's mother. Yelu Louguo has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he and Yelu Ruan have a literary and a martial arts, although the martial arts are not too high, but they are far superior to second-rate or even third-rate martial arts like Yelu Ruan.
Yelu Zhen said: "Our clan values martial arts, but in fact, what really scares me is not the martial arts of Zong Xin and his two wives, nor the combat effectiveness of the Eighteen Horsemen of Youyun. It's Zongxin's third lady and his apprentice Tianya. Do you know who these two people are? Guo Wei's son and daughter. ”
