Chapter Seventy-Three: Yanjing
The zombie and lonely village does not mourn, and Shang Si is the national military wheel. Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fell into a dream.
Nanjing in the Liao period is today's Beijing, which was called Yanjing at that time, also known as Youdu, and was the capital of Youzhou. Later, Shi Jingtang established himself as the emperor, and was fully supported by the Liao State, and Shi Jingtang cut the sixteen states of Yanyun as a reward. The sixteen states of Yanyun are You, Ji, Zhuo, Shun, Tan, Ying, Mo, Xin, Fei, Confucian, Wu, Wei, Yun, Ying, Huan, Shuo, all of which are important plateaus in northern Hebei and northern Shanxi. Since it was ceded to the Liao State, the Later Jin, Later Zhou, and Song dynasties fought with it over the years, and they have never been able to recover it. The sixteen states of Yanyun occupy the shape of victory, and the Liao State is stationed with heavy troops, and every time it uses troops to the south, it drives down for a long time, and above Pingyang, the Great Song Dynasty has no danger to defend. The Song and Liao fought for more than 100 years, and the Song Dynasty won a rare victory, and the main reason was that the armor was not as good as the solid, and the Liao State was condescending to control the battlefield, and it also took a great advantage.
Dugu broke the horse non-stop, day and night, sleeping in the open air, not stopping, it took several days, and he arrived at Yanjing City at the fastest speed.
Seeing the city in front of him, Dugu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned over and dismounted, led the jujube red horse, carried the Tianlong Sword on his back, and walked towards the city gate.
When Dugu walked to the gate of the city, he saw several Khitan guards standing with spears in their hands, their eyes sharp and their bodies were strong, several times stronger than the Dali soldiers.
At this time, it was summer, and the people who went in and out of the city gate were dressed in Middle Earth, and all they heard were the Central Plains language, as if they were in the Great Song Dynasty.
As soon as I entered the city, I was about to ask someone how to go to the 'Minzhong Temple', when I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me, from far to near, and the ground shook.
Dugu Duan looked back and saw dozens of horses running in the distance. A murderous aura came to his face, and he fixed his eyes on it. The first one was dressed in gold armor with a thin face. The expression is fierce.
The people at the city gate hurriedly retreated to the side, and the few guards guarding the city gate hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully: "See His Majesty the King of Chu." ”
When the people heard this, they all knelt down and bowed their heads and did not dare to say more.
The person who came was Yelu Nerugu, the king of the Southern Court of Liao, the king of Chu, and his father Yelu Chongyuan, who is the current imperial uncle, and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. It can be said that one person is above 10,000 people, which is not trivial.
Yelu Longxu, the grandfather of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, was called the Holy Sect. The eldest son of the Holy Sect, Zong Zhen, and the second son Chongyuan. Zong Zhen has a kind and generous personality, and Chongyuan is extremely brave and strategic. When the Holy Sect died, the last order was passed on to the eldest son Zongzhen, but the empress of the Holy Sect liked the second son and conspired to establish Chongyuan as the emperor.
The Empress Dowager of Liao was extremely powerful, and the throne of Zongzhen was inherently unsafe at that time. His life was also in danger, but Chongyuan informed his brother of the plan of the counter-general, so that the queen mother's secret plan could not succeed. Zong Zhen was very grateful to this brother and made him the emperor's younger brother. That is to say that in the future it will be upon him, in return for kindness.
Yeluzong Zhenliao was called Xingzong, but after his death. The throne was not passed to the emperor's younger brother Chongyuan, but was still passed to his son Hongji.
After Yelu Hongji took over. In his heart, he was relieved and named Chongyuan as the emperor's uncle. It shows that he is still the crown prince of the Great Liao State, and then he is crowned the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, exempted from worshipping in the previous court, and is given a gold coupon oath, four hats, two-color robes, and the dragon of respect, and the first in the dynasty;
The king of Chu, Yelu Nelugu, has a ruthless temperament, acts viciously, and has long had a heart of disobedience, he is the king of the Southern Courtyard, sitting in Yanjing City. The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are under his jurisdiction, and the area from Xijing to Datong Mansion and from Zhongjing to Dading Mansion are also under his orders. The prestige is heavy, but he is still not satisfied, coveting the position of the Liao Emperor, as long as his father becomes the emperor, he is the crown prince.
He has been persuading his father, and now he has eyebrows, and he is even more overjoyed, and recently he has bad intentions and is ready to move, secretly plotting the rebellion.
The Liao people like to hunt, and Yelu Nerugu is no exception, at this time he returned from hunting and saw that everyone knelt on the ground, and did not speak, but directly hit the horse into the city, and was about to return to the palace, but saw a young man in a black robe standing in front of him, handsome, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at him quietly.
The king of Chu was stunned, he said nothing in this Yanjing City, covering the sky with one hand, no one dared to disrespect him, at this time, seeing this black-robed young man with a cold expression, not only did he bow down to him, but also stood in the middle of the road, he suddenly became angry, and his eyes showed coldness, but someone dared to be rude to him.
The generals of the palace guards behind him stepped forward and shouted: "Bold, the king of Chu dared not to bow before driving, and he didn't hurry to kneel down and apologize." ”
Dugu squinted his eyes, thoughtfully, it was really a narrow road, and he didn't expect to see Yelu Hongji before he saw his cousin, the rebellious King of Chu.
"How to get to Minzhong Temple?" Dugu said lightly.
Everyone was stunned, and the general who spoke showed anger on his face, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the king of Chu.
"Who are you?" King Chu asked gloomily.
"Dugu Break!"
Hearing this, King Chu frowned, thought for a moment, and asked himself if he had ever heard of this name, and saw that Dugu Duanfeng was handsome and not like an ordinary person.
However, he had a bit of a city government, and when he calmed down, he asked again, "Why did you go to Minzhong Temple?"
Dugu looked cold, did not answer the question of the king of Chu, and continued to ask: "Where is the Minzhong Temple?"
King Chu obviously didn't expect Dugu Duan to be so arrogant, so he didn't speak immediately, and glanced at the general beside him.
The general had long wanted to teach this young man who did not know the height of the sky, but at this time, he received the king's signal, and immediately said coldly: "Where did the madman come from, I really don't know whether to live or die, I order you to kneel down immediately and apologize to the king, otherwise you will be asked to taste the taste of a sharp arrow piercing your heart." ”
As soon as the words fell, it seemed that in response to him, dozens of Khitan officers and soldiers stretched out their bows and arrows, pointing at Dugu Duan, and just waiting for an order, they were about to shoot the wolf's tooth long arrow in their hands.
The ordinary people who knelt on the ground trembled, peeked at the black-robed young man, and saw that he was still flat, as if he didn't take these tiger-wolf Khitan soldiers in his eyes.
Some people sighed, this young man is a talent, but his head is a little unbright, and he dares to go against the king of Chu, isn't he looking for death.
"Why is it like this every time, there are always some fools who kill themselves!"
Dugu duan lowered his head and sighed, and suddenly his figure flashed and disappeared.
Everyone didn't react at all, so they felt a flower in front of them, and when they were looking, Dugu Duan had already appeared behind the king of Chu and sat on his horse.
The Khitan guards were shocked, and the general's eyes showed shock, but they were incredulous.
"King Chu, right?
Dugu Duan instantly clicked on the acupoint of Yelu Nelugu, the king of Chu, and looked at him like a cat playing with mice.
Cold sweat oozed from King Chu's forehead, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes, although he had also seen some martial arts people, but he had never seen such a terrifying martial arts, it was like a ghost and a ghost.
The general reacted and said, "Hurry up and let go of the king, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried." ”
"Really?"
Dugu stretched out his hand to clasp the throat of the king of Chu and jokingly said: "But if you want to die, your king will die first." ”
"What do you want?"
King Chu stabilized his mind, his tone trembled a little, he never dreamed that he would be caught by Dugu in an instant, and his whole body couldn't move at this time, and he was both shocked and frightened in his heart.
"Alas!"
Dugu sighed and said melancholy: "I just want to ask how to get to Minzhong Temple." ”
"......" (To be continued......)
