Chapter 572: Hesitation
Yelu Ruan and the others were about to go north to leave Yinshan, when Gongsun Wuwu suddenly stopped Yelu Ruan: "Wait, where is the prince going?"
Yelu Ruan was a little surprised, and said, "Gongsun Gongzi, the lonely king has naturally gone to Beijing, where else can he go? The lonely king will contact the civil and military officials in Shangjing and ask the empress dowager for peace, and the kings of the southern and northern courts will also lead the civil and military officials to help the coffin of the first emperor return to Shangjing."
At that time, with the strength of everyone, the Empress Dowager will definitely carefully consider the successor of the Great Liao Emperor. Along the way, he also asked General Li and Gongsun Gongzi to help King Gu. ”
Gongsun Wuwu smiled slightly and said, "In this case, Lord Wang, the place you should go to should not be Shangjing, but in that direction." Gongsun Wuwu stretched out his hand to guide the party.
Li Fengyun knew that Gongsun Wuwu would not come up with ideas indiscriminately, and he must have a reason when he said this. After thinking for a while, he suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, Brother Ruan should indeed go south, not north." ”
Yelu Ruan's face showed puzzlement and confusion at first, and then he seemed to have an understanding, but he showed a look of worry.
"Figured it out, right?" Gongsun Wuwu said with a grin, "King Yongkang doesn't really think that with the pressure of his ministers, he can force Shu Luping to change his original intention, right?
I have heard that the original ancestor of your country, Yelu Abaoji, was the queen of the sky, and now the empress dowager is worried that Abaoji is lonely, but she sent more than 100 veteran ministers of various departments to accompany Abaoji at one time. Over the years, whenever Shu Luping misses the ancestor of your country, he always sends someone to send a letter to Abaoji.
How can the Empress Dowager not have a good discussion with the Taizu of your country? If you discuss it like this, I am afraid that there will be no fewer ministers who will be sent to the Taizu, right? Isn't the prince worried that the Taizu will also think about the prince, and the empress dowager will also send you over to marry the Taizu?"
Yelu Ruan was stunned for a moment, Shu Luping has always had the habit of lending Taizu Yelu Abaoji to deliver letters, killing ministers who dare to go against him, saying that he is not afraid that it is self-deception. However, he was supported by so many people, and many tribes betrayed their sincerity to him, such as Yelu, the king of the southern court, Yeluwa, the king of the northern court, and a group of highly prestigious old ministers Yeluwu also expressed their support for him as emperor.
Under such circumstances, could it be that Shu Luping still dared to brazenly get rid of him? Wasn't she afraid that the various tribes would be dissatisfied and the Liao country would be in chaos?
However, Shu Luping has always been ruthless in doing things, and Yeluhong is brutal by nature, and they may not be unable to do this kind of thing, as evidenced by the attack of the horse thief. For today's sake, he Yelu Ruan has endured for 20 years, if he is forced to die by them like this, how can he be willing to give this great opportunity to others?
However, if he goes to the south according to Gongsun Wuwu's suggestion, snatches the military power of the 300,000 army, and rejects his fierce temperament, most of them refuse to bow their heads, and at that time, he Yelu Ruan will lose his righteous reputation and really become a rebellion. Once the two sides go to war, the consequences for the Liao State will be unimaginable, and then he Yelu Ruan will really become the sinner of the Liao State through the ages.
Moreover, whether he could snatch the power of the 300,000 soldiers and horses, Yelu Ruan was not very sure in his heart.
After all, when he really wants to do it, how many people are willing to stand on his side?
Yelu Ruan thought left and right, and hesitated in his heart.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates think Gongsun Gongzi is right!" Yelu Ancheng, one of Yelu Ruan's advisors, suddenly said, "Now Yelu Roar, the king of the Southern Courtyard of Liao, and Yelu Wa, the king of the Northern Courtyard, are still in the Central Plains, holding 120,000 soldiers and horses on the left and right wings in their hands. My father, Yelu'an, has no weak influence on the rear army, and it is very likely that he will pull over the more than 50,000 soldiers of the rear army led by the minister Yelu Wuqian. The 80,000-strong Chinese army is now in the hands of Yelu Tiande, but it is not stable, and we may not have no chance to take it.
Yelu Tiande has always been ambitious, once he is asked to move the old ministers in the army and support him instead, Lord Wang, you won't have any chance!"
Li Fengyun also persuaded: "Brother Ruan, I think you also have the qualifications to be a hero. The so-called big things are not informal. At this time, how can you still hesitate, the two ends of the first rat?
I, Li Fengyun, am a rough person, but I understand a truth, that is, no matter how good it sounds, in the end, you have to rely on your fists, and the hard fists are the real truth. If you don't do your best to fight for the throne and grab it by unscrupulous means, how can you expect to grab the throne?
There is only one dragon chair, if you don't grab the throne, even if Shu Luping doesn't kill you this time, whether your uncle Yelu Honggu becomes the emperor in the future, or your cousin Yelu Tiande becomes the emperor, do you think they will let you go?
This road is simply a road of no return, and if you can't be an emperor, there is only a dead end. ”
Li Fengyun also thought clearly, he wished that the Liao State would be in turmoil, conquer each other, and kill in the dark, so at this time, he vigorously instigated Yelu Ruan to fight for the military power of the 300,000 army. Li Fengyun also calculated, Yelu Tiande had already listened to him and held the 80,000 Chinese army, and Yelu Ruan was very likely to be able to fight for more than 100,000 troops. In this way, even if the other soldiers and horses do not help each other, then the Liao State will be divided into three opposing forces, and war may be inevitable.
As long as more than half of the 300,000 Khitan troops died in each other's conquests, I am afraid that the vitality of the Liao State will be greatly damaged at that time, and even if the new emperor has the heart, he will not be able to conquer the Central Plains, which will pose a threat to the Central Plains.
Moreover, at that time, the Liao State was in turmoil, and the Central Plains was also fighting endlessly, which happened to be a great opportunity for the development of guerrilla battalions.
Yelu Ruan was a little more moved by Li Fengyun's words, Li Fengyun's thoughts may not be clear to him, but what Li Fengyun said is also the true truth, it is the Khitan from ancient times to the present day to follow the only law, Yelu Ruan, as a Khitan, how can he not know? In this world, the strong have everything, and the weak have nothing. The strong are in charge of the life and death of the weak. Although the grassland is big, it can't accommodate two real dragons, who wins and who loses, who survives and who dies, in the end, you still have to rely on strength to speak, and you don't know until you have fought a game.
He Yelu Ruan does not have the luxury of holding 300,000 iron cavalry at once, as long as he has more than 100,000 iron cavalry, he has the strength to fight with Shu Luping and Yelu Honggu. Which of the steppe overlords since ancient times did not reach the pinnacle of the throne in the golden iron horse and the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood? As for the future, we will consider it in the future. After I die, do you care about the flood?
A raging fire burned in Yeruan's heart.
Li Fengyun saw that Yelu Ruan's heart had already moved, and he added the last dry firewood: "Life is a gamble, if you don't try it, how can you know the result? If you don't play at this time, when will you wait? Even if you fail, what is it? At least you have lived vigorously!"
