Yelu Ma Ge stayed for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "It's too late, too late."
"Why did the king say this?" Xiao Temo asked in surprise. He set out from Datong, galloped day and night, and rushed to Yunzhong. As he predicted, the emperor did recruit the Sizhu District and Fumincheng in the southwest. Everything went smoothly, and the emperor also agreed to form an alliance and asked the monk Xiao to repay Li Hu, and asked Xiao Temo to rush to report to Yelu Ma Ge, asking Ma Ge and Li Hu to meet in detail to discuss the strategy of protesting the Jin Dynasty.
"The Jurchens have arrived." Deputy General Yelu Bubu pointed to the northeast and was frightened. "The vanguard army that Yelu Yu saw was only more than one hundred miles away from us."
Xiao Temo's fear changed. So fast? The Jurchens rushed from Zhongjing to Daibei in a blink of an eye. What speed is this?
"The Jurchens are not scary. What's scary is that our morale has been lost and we will no longer have the power to fight." Yelu Ma Ge's face looked very ugly and he said powerlessly, "Your Majesty issued an order to kill the King of Jin. The ministers of the palace tent and the generals in the army were ashamed. Everyone could no longer see the hope of the revival of the Great Liao Dynasty. Since there is no hope, what else can we fight?"
Xiao Temo was stunned when he heard this. He was in a hurry and did not know about this. Is the emperor crazy? He still killed King Jin at this time? He didn't eat his son. Especially in the critical moment of the country's reign, the king and his ministers must work together. At this time, he lost a head and a son, but the morale of the army and the people, and the reign of the Great Liao Dynasty.\\\\\\\\\
"What should I do with the Great Liao?" Yelu Bude sighed to the sky, "The Khitans' way of living is
"The Great Liao still has rescue. The Great Liao still has hope." Xiao Temo suddenly shouted, "The King of Yan has become emperor, and the King of Yan ascended the throne and became emperor. We still have hope."?"
"The King of Yan has become emperor." Xiao Temo said solemnly, "After the loss of Zhongjing, Yanjing is in danger. If the Great Liao wants to continue the country's destiny, the only way is to defend Daibei and the desert. Therefore, the King of Yan and Li Hu formed an alliance. The King of Yan hopes to defend Daibei with the help of Li Hu's power, and Li Hu is attacked from all sides. It is difficult to survive, and urgently needs to support it with the help of the Great Liao power..."
In desperation, Xiao Temo fabricated a story. Yanjing was shaking under the front and back attacks of the Song and Jin armies. The King of Yan had no choice but to be emperor, intending to cede land and submit to the Song and Jin countries as an emperor. In this way, he delayed the attack of the Song and Jin armies, thus giving Li Hu and Dai Beidi Liao army time to defeat the Jurchens.
"This is why Li Hu released me and the monk slave from the prison and asked us to hurry to join Yunzhong to form an alliance."
"Do your Majesty know?" asked Brother Ma anxiously, "Have you told Your Majesty about this?"
"If Your Majesty knows, he will definitely not believe us. He will worry that we will join King Yan and kill him, so he will definitely give up Daibei and escape into the desert.\\\\\\" Yelu Bu was shocked and said in horror, "If Your Majesty brings the army into the desert, we will be completely finished."
"No, I didn't tell him." Xiao Tedmo pointed to his head, "If I say it, can I still see you alive?"
Ma Ge and Yelu Bu were relieved, but in an instant, Ma Ge's face changed again, "Have your Majesty sent an envoy to Xijing?"
Xiao Temo was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and nodded, "I heard that Xiao Seng Xiaonu, the Prime Minister of the Northern Palace, went to Xijing. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be on the way back to the clouds."
"Stop him, stop him immediately." Yelu Bud turned around suddenly, ran to his entourage in three or two steps, and instructed him to immediately arrive outside Fumin City, and be sure to intercept Xiao Seng Xiaonu, the Prime Minister of the Northern Palace, and kidnap him to Baishuilu.
"You send someone back too." Ma Ge pointed at Xiao Temo and said, "Tell your entourage to return to Xijing. If the monk Xiaonu is still in Xijing, please make sure to keep him and don't let him go no matter what.^^^^"
At dusk on the 13th, Yelu Mage summoned the leaders of the Baishui Grand Treasure tribe and asked them to summon the clans immediately and evacuate to Dezhou. The things that could not be taken away were burned and must not be left to the Jurchens.
Late at night that day, Yelu Mage took the three hundred elite cavalry and Xiao Temo to Xijing.
At dusk on the 15th, Yelu Mage arrived at Zhenchuan Fort. At midnight, he entered Xijing and met Li Hu in Tongwen Hall.
The two opponents fought from Bison Yuan to Datong for more than four years and had never met each other. This time they finally stood together face to face, reached out to hold hands, and felt a lot. Li Hu rose because of Bison Yuan's battle and gained a foothold in Yunshuo because of the battle of Xijing. Both decisive battles related to fate fought against Yelu Mage, and both won, but at this moment, Li Hu did not feel the slightest joy and excitement.
Brother Ma was very calm. He didn't talk about the past or look at the past, but only looked at the present and the future. "What are the countermeasures for the Tiger King?"
Li Hu walked side by side with him, "Dashi is here, he suggests facing a head-on battle."
"Dashi? When will he come to the ground?" Ma Ge asked in surprise, "How is Youyan's battlefield?"
"The envoys of the Song Dynasty have arrived in Yanjing, and the two sides are discussing in detail. If nothing unexpected happens, the King of Yan can buy us a month.^^^^" Li Hu smiled, "If the victory of the Daibei battlefield is achieved, the situation will be quickly reversed."
What Yelu Chun was most worried about was the Daibei battlefield, so after he sent Han, he immediately sent Xiao Delidi, Li Chuwen and Yelu Dashi to rush to Xijing to supervise Li Hu to form an alliance with the Daibei Liao army and win this battle at any cost. As long as the Jurchens can be driven out of Daibei, whether it is the Daliao or Li Hu, they can get time to breathe, and thus establish a three-point Liaodong pattern, otherwise the two families will be doomed together.
Li Hu was willing to form an alliance, but the Emperor of the Great Liao might not be willing. Therefore, Yelu Chun asked Xiao Delidi and Li Chuwen to personally go to Yunzhong to pay homage to the emperor, explaining that he was a temporary measure to call himself emperor, to stabilize the hearts of the military and civilians, to deceive the Song and Jin countries, to win time to reverse the situation, and to wait for the resurgence of the Great Liao country to be preserved, he personally went north to welcome the emperor back to Beijing.
Xiao Delidi and Li Chuwen were the prime ministers of the north and south prefectures of Yanjing. When they arrived in Datong, Xiao Seng and Xiao Nu were about to leave. After the two sides met, they immediately discussed this matter. Xiao Seng and Xiao Nu firmly opposed telling the emperor about the king of Yan's proclaiming emperor, because this was a cause of disaster. Even if the emperor believed it, the ministers around the emperor would not believe it.^^^^Xiao Fengxian was not spared in order to allow the King of Qin to inherit the imperial rule. Therefore, once this matter was leaked, Xiao Fengxian and others would instigate the emperor to escape from the desert, and it would be all over.
But this matter cannot be hidden. Two emperors appeared in the Liao Dynasty and would definitely be split. If you want to stop the split, the only way is to get rid of one emperor. However, the current situation is too tense, neither emperor can die, and no matter which one dies, the battle situation will collapse.
"Once this matter is exposed, once the Emperor of the Great Liao fled into the desert with his army, Daibei will be lost, and the situation of the war will still collapse." Li Chuwen said, "If you want to save the Great Liao, you must first kill Xiao Fengxian and kill all the slander ministers around the emperor, so that the emperor can stay south of Yinshan."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Xiao Delidi and others shook their heads secretly. Li Chuwen and Xiao Fengxian had an extraordinary relationship. He was able to reach the position of prime minister entirely because he could do so with Xiao Fengxian's help. But now it was Li Chuwen who wanted to kill Xiao Fengxian, which was really a great irony. However, the emperor trusted Xiao Fengxian very much. If he wanted the emperor to kill him, it would be difficult to ascend to heaven.
After Yelu Mage met everyone, he heard the discussion results of everyone and asked a question.
"Who is the Emperor of the Great Liao?"
"King of Yan." Li Chuwen said immediately.
Yelu Mage looked up at the others. Xiao Delidie, Yelu Dashi, Xiao Temo, and Xiao Monknu were all willing to respect King Yan as the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty under his gaze. Xiao Seng Xiaonu was silent for a long time and finally nodded in agreement.
"I'll deal with this matter," said Yelu Mage. "The most urgent task is to fight on behalf of the Beijing War. We must use all our strength in this war. This is a battle between life and death. There is no way out, either death or life."
Then he looked at Li Hu and asked, "How will the Tiger King fight this battle?"
"How many troops do you have?" Li Hu asked.
"The Gong Tent Army, the Southwest Army, the tribal army of collapsed ridge, the Kaiyuan Army of Yunnei Prefecture, and the local army of other prefectures and counties in Yunzhong, have about 90,000 people." Ma Ge said, "The Northwest Army, the three foreign troops of Wubu, Wugu and the Di Lie have about 50,000 people. They will arrive in the southern part of Yinshan in the near future."
"Five days later, can this army arrive at the battlefield?" Li Hu asked.
Yelu Ma Ge shook his head, "I can't be sure, but they will definitely be able to arrive in the clouds at the end of this month."
Li Hu frowned slightly and looked at Yelu Dashi.
"I only have ten thousand riders," said Yelu Dashi. "In five days, they can enter the clouds."
"How many troops can the Tiger King mobilize?" asked Brother Ma.
"At most, 100,000." Li Hu said, "Dangxiang people's army is on the edge of the Yellow River. Shuozhou is threatened by it and has to station heavy troops in Pianguan. Ningwuguang also has to station heavy troops in the front line of Ningwuguang, for fear of the Song army's northern expedition. Dashi's horse army enters Daibei to fight, and my infantry will be guarding Yanjing at Zijin Pass and Juyong Pass, so the army I can call is only 100,000 at most."
The Liao army and the Han army were combined, less than 200,000, while the number of Jin army was definitely more than 200,000. What is particularly troublesome is that the Emperor of the Great Liao army was coming in a mighty manner, but he didn't know if he would escape. If he fled with some of the troops, there would be no chance of winning this battle.
"The Tiger King is planning to face the battle head-on?" It can be heard from Yelu Ma Ge's tone that he did not agree to the head-on decisive battle.
"We have no chance of winning when facing the head-on battle." Li Hu said, "But if we don't fight head-on and don't concentrate our troops together to fight the Jin army to death, we will be defeated by the Jin army one by one, and the Jurchens will sweep across Daibei."
Yelu Ma Ge thought about it for a long time and couldn't find a better solution. He had no choice but to ask, "When will the decisive battle?"
