Chapter 573: Messenger of the Immortal Heaven
Yelu Ruan was finally moved by Li Fengyun and others, and decided to go south, join up with the army of thirty returning north, and seize military power. Then he led the army to the north, forcing Shu Luping to depose the emperor's younger brother Yelu Honggu and crown him as the emperor of Daliao.
The group traveled day and night, and finally walked out of the vast mountains five days later and came to Zhenyang.
Zhenyang, formerly known as Zhenzhou, also known as Hengzhou, after Yelu Deguang changed the name of the country to Khitan to Liao, he also named Zhenyang in Zhenzhou, and declared Zhenyang as the Zhongjing of Liao.
Now the 300,000 Liao army has withdrawn to Zhenyang and is stationed near Zhenyang.
Everyone rushed to Zhenyang, and Yelu Ruan and Yelu Hongyan secretly met with Yelu Roar, the king of the southern courtyard, Yelu Wa, and Yelu Anyan, the king of the northern courtyard, in a compound outside Zhenyang City.
Yelu, the king of the southern court, and Yeluwa, the king of the northern court, said that they would do their best to support Yeluruan, and the 120,000 soldiers and horses on the left and right wings would obey Yeluruan's orders.
Yelu Ruan was overjoyed and said, "With the help of the two kings, great things can be accomplished!" and turned to ask Yelu Anyan: "Brother An, I don't know what the current situation and attitude of the Chinese army, the rear army and the front army are?"
Yelu'an pondered for a moment and said, "The rear army led by Yeluwu has more than 50,000 people, and it is currently stationed in the south of Zhenyang City. The strength may not be under either of the left and right wings led by the king of the southern courtyard and the king of the northern courtyard.
After the assassination of the Great Khan, I tried to test the quality of Yeluwu, this man is steady and ruthless, although he is inclined to support His Highness to be emperor, but if you want him to blatantly lead troops against the Empress Dowager, I am afraid it will be difficult. If His Highness had a conflict with the Empress Dowager, I was not sure who he would help.
I thought that with Yeluya's treacherous and slippery character, I am afraid that he would not bet easily. I can only assure you that you can convince Yelu that you will not help Jeruhungu or anything else when the situation is still unclear. ”
Yelu Ruan nodded and said, "This point, the Lone King has already thought of it! Anyway, as long as he doesn't spoil the good things of the Lone King, and the two don't help each other, let him go! However, if this person can fight for it, he should try his best to fight for it, and with his 50,000 soldiers and horses, the chance of the Lone King will be much greater." After thinking about it, Yelu Ruan asked again: "What is the attitude of General Yelu Yu who led the forward?"
Yelu'an shook his head and replied: "Yeluyu's front army is more than 30,000 elites, Your Highness doesn't have to think about it, he has already been persuaded by the national teacher Xiao Qirui to take refuge in the Empress Dowager." Now he is stationed in the north of Zhenyang City, and the garrison is extremely tight, obviously wary of other people. ”
Yelu Ruan sighed and said: "If you want to say that this Yelu Yu is also a rare talent, it's a pity that he can't be used by the Lone King, it's a pity! The most hateful thing is the national teacher Xiao Qirui, what does the Lone King have to do against him, he must be against the Lone King." On the way, he pretended to be a horse thief and assassinated the lonely king, not to mention, he actually pulled away Yeluyu for the empress dowager.
Hmph, in the future, after the lone king ascended to the throne and became the emperor, he would never let go of this traitor easily. ”
Yelu Roar, Yelu Wa, and Yelu Anjun and others were shocked when they heard that Yelu Ruan was attacked by Xiao Qirui on the way, and asked what was going on.
Yelu Ruan sighed and said, "If it weren't for that, King Gu wouldn't have come here to discuss with you about the origin. "This kind of thing, of course, doesn't need to be said by Yelu Ruan himself, Yelu Hongyan said it again and again, adding fuel and vinegar to the attack, and between the words, intentionally or unintentionally, the story of the incident was more legendary, and the ups and downs were just right.
These words have been repeatedly studied by Li Fengyun, Gongsun Wuwu, Su Yunong, and Yelu Hongyan along the way, and they are all particular about how to say them and what tone they use. In this story, Yelu Ruan, like the legendary protagonist of countless grasslands, is shrouded in a mysterious and brilliant aura all over his body.
This idea was still Li Fengyun's idea, and there is no shortage of such stories in the history of the Central Plains dynasties, and it is not difficult to learn from them.
Yelu, the king of the Southern Courtyard, heard his eyes straightened, and said loudly: "It's really fortunate, Immortal God blesses me Da Liao, Xiao Qirui led the master to rebel and personally assassinate His Highness, His Royal Highness was blessed with the sky, and with the help of the Wolf King, he actually escaped this catastrophe, could it be that this is the will of heaven." ”
Everyone's spirits were all lifted, if it wasn't for the providence of heaven, how to explain the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of wolves, and how to explain that Yelu Ruan could die and escape again and again.
Hearing this, Yelu An had an idea, bowed to the ground, and said: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness, when Han Gaozu slashed the white snake and rebelled, if it weren't for His Highness's luck, how could he encounter such an adventure? These divine wolves were sent by the Immortal Heaven to protect His Highness!"
Everyone also fell to the ground one after another, and looked at Yelu Ruan with a little more worship of God.
The Khitan people have always been superstitious, and they regard the wolf as a sacred object, but all the Khitan people with some status will tattoo a blue wolf on their chests to indicate that they are the descendants of the divine wolf. Doesn't such a bizarre story prove that Yelu Ruan is the choice and arrangement of the Immortal Heaven?
Yelu Ruan laughed and said, "Not only that, but even more strange things are behind!"
Everyone wondered: "What could be stranger?"
Yelu Hongyan said with a smile: "At that time, Brother Ruan was forced to retreat into the Yinshan Mountain, and there were only seven people left who followed him. And there were as many as four or five thousand wild wolves catching up around. We were trapped on top of a mountain and couldn't think of a way out.
If we continue, even if we don't starve to death and die of thirst, we will be found by Xiao Qirui sooner or later, and it will always be a dead end.
No one expected that at this time, a person appeared, a person who no one could have imagined. It was he who helped His Highness get out of danger safely and come here. ”
"Who is it?" asked Yeluwa, the king of the Northern Courtyard, who couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart.
"He is the enemy of my Khitan, but he is also the messenger sent by the Immortal Heaven to determine my vast and thousands of years of country. Yelu Ruan slapped his palm three times, and a person flashed out of the back hall.
I saw that this person was wearing gold armor, stepping on tiger head combat boots, the scarlet cloak was windless, and he was carrying two strange big knives behind his back, and his whole body exuded a breathtaking and indescribable majesty.
This person is none other than Li Fengyun.
How could everyone not recognize Li Fengyun? At this time, when they suddenly saw Li Fengyun appear, they were startled, and they drew their swords one after another, and Yelu, the king of the Southern Courtyard, pointed at Li Fengyun with a steel knife, and shouted in disbelief: "Li Fengyun, you damned traitor, why are you here?"
Yeluwa, the king of the North Courtyard, also shouted angrily: "Li Fengyun, you still dare to appear in Zhenyang, are you really no one in my Daliao?"
Yelu Ruan stepped forward to stop Yelu and said, "Don't panic, the current Li Fengyun, he is not our enemy. He was a messenger sent by the Immortal Heaven to the grassland to convey the will of Heaven. ”
Everyone didn't understand why Yelu Ruan said this, and they looked at each other, their hearts were shocked, and they couldn't hide the look of doubt in their eyes. [.]
