Chapter 65 The situation is moving, the war begins!
Yanning City, Yanwang Mansion, moonlit night.
The atmosphere of this royal palace is not very big, it is much worse than that of Liangwang Mansion in West Liang Road, but at least it is dozens of acres of land, so no one can underestimate it.
The third son of the Wu family, Wu Jingting, is the master here. He was named King of Yan, was in charge of Liaodong, and guarded the important places outside the pass.
"Prince, the plates on the north are rewarded, and the Khitan may not be able to withstand it!"
"Can't hold it back? So fast?"
In the study room of the Yan Prince's Mansion, the Yan King was taking a nap, but someone came in outside the door. He didn't see him knocking on the door, and he handed a note directly.
This person's name is Zhang Maoxiang, and he is the aide of the King of Yan and the prince's confidant. The military situation is urgent now. No matter how much etiquette is, he must explain it clearly to the King of Yan.
"What do you mean by sir?" King Wu Jingting of Yan looked a little different from his father and brother, and more like his mother, but he was not so handsome, with a beautiful beard and quite masculine.
"Prince." Zhang Maoxiang clasped his fists and said, "We should ask for an order immediately, just say that the military situation is urgent, and at the same time, the northward expedition will be immediately. If we can make a journey, we can open a thousand miles."
"This" King Yan hesitated and said, "I have already received the news before. The palace commander in the capital is coming. Don't you know the mystery?"
The Palace Commander is the commander of the Imperial Army of Zhongjing. Because he often goes to the Palace to face the Lord, he is also called the Palace Commander. The current Palace Commander is the General Gao Qiu. There are 56 people in this person and he was also a minister of the Dragon back then.
What the King of Yan said, Zhang Maoxiang certainly understood and immediately said, "Prince, this fighter plane must not be lost! As for Gao Qiu, he naturally came to grab the credit, but what kind of the imperial guards are, don't you know? Just don't say anything else, Gao Qiu's hundreds of thousands of troops are slow to move. When he arrives, the fighter plane has been lost. If we can't make a fuss, we have to face the Beidi who broke through the Khitan. At that time, Beidi will carry the power of victory and the surrendered generals and soldiers of the Khitan gang. How much pressure will we have? On the one hand, it is the merit of expanding territory, and on the other hand, it is the loss of the fighter plane, and the palace commander will also be pointed at by the emperor. The prince will make a decision!"
When the King of Yan heard this, he naturally understood it in his heart, but he was considering something else.
"Sir, Your Majesty has always been very afraid of our Wu family. I use troops privately. How do Your Majesty think of this king?"
When Zhang Maoxiang heard this, he sighed in his heart. This King of Yan is really not like his father and brother, and he is too careful in his actions, but now that the best move is not enough, there is still Zhong Ce.
"Prince, since you don't want your Majesty to be suspicious, we can't do nothing. We should keep our doors tight and move the front line forward. The prince can personally go to the Ningbei front line and garrison the front border. We cannot let the defeated Khitan troops go south, otherwise your Majesty will definitely be punished by then."
"This plan is amazing!"
King Yan thought it was good to do this, at least there would be no major problems. However, Zhang Maoxiang shook his head a little. Why did he meet a master who did not seek merit but did not seek justice?
At this time, the King of Yan asked another question, "Is there any news now for that nephew of my king?"
Zhang Maoxiang replied: "It should be in Ningbei and entered Longgu Camp."
"Oh, that's it, I know." King Yan just said this and then stopped talking.
In this way, even Zhang Maoxiang was a little at a loss
At the same time, someone in the Liangwang Mansion on Liangxi Road also received news about the Khitan.
"It's really surprising that the Khitan is over so quickly. Second brother, what do you think we should do?"
"Brother, I have a vain case, why bother ask me?"
"Okay! I will lead my troops deep into Hetao tomorrow. By then, all the fertile fields of thousands of miles will belong to my Wu family!"
"Brother, you are still like that, your sharpness remains the same as before."
"Hahaha"
The two brothers Wu Jingcheng and Wu Jingxuan seem to have made plans for today's affairs, and even do not need the most basic preparations for marching and fighting. They will lead the army to fight tomorrow. The so-called "the army and horses should move, and the food and grass should go first, I'm afraid they have been ahead for a long time.
At this time, some people in the Khitan Southern Courtyard and Huanglong Mansion could not sleep.
"King! The emperor is defeated, we must make a decision early!"
"Hey Chu Cai, is my Khitan exhausted?"
Huanglong Mansion is the place where the King of Khitan Southern Court set up the mansion. The King of Khitan is now Yelu Dashi. Yelu is the Khitan royal family. Now he is a member of the royal family. However, he is either a legitimate descendant, he is Yelu Chucai.
When Yelu Dashi heard Yelu Dashi's question, Yelu Chucai was a little difficult to answer.
Yelu Dashi said: "Chu Cai, just tell me clearly. I know that you are the most knowledgeable one among my clan."
"Ah," Yelu Chucai sighed, "Actually, my Khitan had already lost when he signed that covenant with the Central Plains before."
Yelu Dashi exclaimed, "How do you say this?"
Yelu Chucaiyan said, "My Khitan originally originated from the White Mountains and Black Waters. It was originally a wild and wild tribe. But later, he rose and fought with the Central Plains. Every time we could win by relying on the nature of the tribe. However, the land was getting bigger and bigger, and management was becoming more and more difficult. Most of the tribes did not know how to deal with it, so they learned the Central Plains method. This is also a good thing, but since this, we can only be students. The Central Plains method slowly wiped out the wildness of our tribe, and gradually became the same as the people in the Central Plains. Then everyone is the same. Compared with the number, how can we win?
With that covenant, it seems that my Khitan has taken a great advantage. The southerners pay annual monies every year, which is amazing, but what can these annual monies be done? Silk cloth and silk can only make our tribe more happy. What you want and what you corrupt faster.
What can money do?
We don’t know how to produce, so we can only rely more on the Southern people. The result is only more than ten years. King, see, where are there people in my tribe who can fight well?"
Yelu Chucai's words made Yelu Dashi sweat. It turned out that he was so magnificent that he dominated the northern Khitan in the Great Qi Dynasty. At present, even a small clan, Beidi, could not defeat it. It is said that those clans had never had enough people to fight, and there was only such a small number, and the Khitans had no way to do it.
It’s so funny that my emperor brother actually wanted to turn the tide with his own strength, but ended up dead on the battlefield.
"Now" Yelu Dashi really didn't want to say something.
Yelu Chucai certainly understood that if it was not good, he had to say, "King, there is no way to do it now. The Khitan soldiers who can fight are only two thousand iron cavalry left, plus ten thousand infans. These soldiers may not be enough to fight against the Northern Di. His Majesty's 200,000 troops are gone, so it is useless for us to go up again. In fact, the King had already had a vision before. When His Majesty proposed to personally expedition, he urged His Majesty to bring the prince and the eldest princess to the southern courtyard. At this time, we can only save the prince and the princess, and then "
After saying that, Yelu Chucai stopped talking.
Yelu Dashi understood his intention. When he arrived at this place, he had to choose the direction. Where to go?
Where to go?
Yelu Dashi really doesn't know that there are two directions at present, one is west and the other is east. Of course, in general, we have to go south. When we reach the two Liao areas, we will divide the east and west, but we have to make a decision now.
"Go east!"
"The king is wise!"
"Haha" Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly, "No matter how stupid I am, I know that the boss and the second brother of the Wu family are in the west. They are both guys who have dealt with me. They are so powerful. As for the third brother of the Wu family in the east, the third brother of the Wu family is brave, but if you really want to fight, this guy can only be considered an ordinary person."
"King, the little minister is willing to stay in Huanglong Mansion to fight against foreign enemies." Yelu Chucai said the last thing.
But Yelu Dashi shook his head, "Chu Cai, if I want to revive in the future, I will rely on you. We old men will sooner or later go to see the late emperor."
Yelu Dashi had already made a decision. He left his family in Huanglong Mansion and then found someone to pretend to be the king of the South Court to stabilize the morale of the army. He, together with Yelu Chucai, led the main force, two thousand iron cavalry, and five thousand infantrymen, and went south and fought a bloody way out.
"Let the new emperor ascend the throne first!"
“That’s right.”
