Chapter 473

Liao Kingdom, Shangjing Road, about 30 miles southeast of Yongzhou, there is a depression called Guangpingdian, which is more than 20 miles east and west, and more than 10 miles north and south. The land is very flat, and sand is accumulated everywhere, and there are many trees. In the middle of the depression, there is a small lake like a mirror. Perhaps because of the geothermal resources here, this lake surrounded by sand is not frozen. Even the surrounding grasslands still retain a hint of green.

Although it is late in the first lunar month, Kaifeng, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, has mostly entered spring. However, the grasslands and sands located in the north are still shrouded in the cold. Only Guangpingdian is a little warm, which has become the place for the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty to sit in the wild all year round, which is where the Dongnabo Camp is located.

At this time in previous years, the palace tent of the Emperor of the Great Liao had already been opened and headed to the Yazi River in Changchun Prefecture where Chunnabo Camp was located. But this year, a large number of felt tents were still set up around the lake in the center of Guangpingdian. The tent of the Emperor of the Great Liao was also among them, surrounded by thousands of long spears and ropes with mud inserted into them. There were also an open black felt umbrella hanging on each spear, and under each umbrella was a palace tent with a helmet and armor, with about a thousand people guarding the tent of the Emperor of the Great Liao.

The tooth tent was the one I had when the emperor arrived last year, but the owner who lived there had been replaced!

Yelu Yanxi, the new owner of the den, was still a little dazed at this time. She didn't believe that the grandfather Yelu Hongji, who seemed to be immortal, had already passed away on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month this year in the emperor's den.

At this moment, his grandfather's last words were still lingering in his ears: "The Southern Dynasty has been in harmony for a long time, and you are strong in nature, so don't cause trouble."

The emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom was most worried about his death that his heir and grandson would provoke a war with the Great Song Dynasty.

This is really unbelievable, but it is also true!

Moreover, Yelu Yanxi also agreed with his grandfather's will 100%. Although he did not hold great power over the years, he still led the Grand Marshal of the World, General of the North and South Privy Councils, and was appointed as the Minister of the Shangshu Ling.

He is very familiar with everything about the Great Liao Kingdom, at least military and national affairs. Therefore, he also knows how lucky he is!

Because the Great Liao Kingdom almost passed by the same catastrophe, and in the autumn, the army commanded by Yelu Otla, the Northwest Road recruited the army commanded by Yelu Otla, and was lucky enough to capture the tribe led by King Khan Mogus of the Bukrei tribe. In order to cover the transfer of his subordinates, Mogus had to lead a number of soldiers from Kelie who were far less than those of the Liao army to join the decisive battle.

The two sides fought for two days and one night, and finally the exhausted Liao army won the victory and captured Khanmogus, the king of Krei tribe who had made them lucky to fight for nine years.

Although the clans of the Krei tribe escaped successfully under the cover of Mogus, the tribe that lost its leader could finally be calm for several years.

For the Great Liao, who was almost about to lose the war, capturing Mogus became a step to end the war successfully... Therefore, the Beizhubu War, which had been struggling for many years, ended successfully.

Yelu Yanxi now felt a chill on his back when he thought of this just-ending war.

If Yelu Orra did not capture Mogus' tribe, or did not achieve a great victory, or did not capture the damn Mogus, then the death of grandfather would become the beginning of the collapse of the Great Liao Kingdom on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month this year...

Because the death of the old emperor left Yelu Yanxi a fall apart court because of the cracks left by Prince Zhaohuai's murder, Yelu Yanxi needed to spend a lot of energy to make up for it.

In the process of rectifying the internal rectification, it was almost impossible for the Liao Kingdom to carry out wars with the Bkrei tribe at the same time.

However, ending the war against the Krei tribe without capturing Mogus is equivalent to declaring to all the tribes on the Zubu grassland: the Great Liao was defeated and defeated by Krei king Krei tribe Khan Mogus!

This will win unimaginable prestige for Kreb and Mogus, enough to make all the slogans on the grassland regard Mogus as their common king Khan!

The tribes of the shubu will be unified under the Cross Battle Flag of Mogus (the Krei tribe believes in Nestorianism)...

Fortunately, such a nightmare situation has not yet occurred because of Mogus' death.

It just didn't appear for the time being...

The crisis was not completely resolved. Because Yelu Otra, who returned from Zhenzhou City (Kedun City, approximately the center of the Mongolian Plateau, near Ulaanbaatar, the capital of the later Mongolian Republic), reported that Mogus's son Huerzhahus had inherited the status of King Khan of the Krei tribe. Although his mother was temporarily regent, the eagles on the grassland will eventually grow up, and the warriors of the Krei tribe will once again raise the cross flag under his leadership!

At the same time, in the east of the Great Liao Dynasty, the rise of Wanyan Yingge, the governor of the Wanyan tribe of the Wanyan tribe, was unstoppable. Since seven years ago, he has attacked and annexed the Qiantongjiang tribe of the Hantongjiang River Basin under the name of "Tongying Road for Liaoning". (The base of the Wanyan tribe of the Wanyan tribe was in the later Harbin City, very close to Ningjiang Prefecture of the Liao Kingdom. To the north of the Wanyan tribe, east and southeast were the Annexed tribes of the Wanyan tribe). After seven years of war, the territory and population of the Wanyan tribe expanded many times.

Emperor Taizu of the Great Liao Dynasty once attached great importance to the combat effectiveness of the Naomeni tribe, calling it "the Jurchens are not worth ten thousand, and they are invincible." But now the Naomeni tribe is probably worth ten thousand, right?

Another worrying opponent is the Goryeo Kingdom in the southeast. Goryeo Kingdom was once a very difficult country to deal with. The Great Liao Dynasty spent a lot of effort to subdue it. Now this country is about to move again, which is really a headache.

And the most troublesome thing is undoubtedly the Song Dynasty in the south!

The war between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia now seems to have basically ended. As long as the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang does not die for one day, the Xia Lord Qianshun dare not make any changes. Moreover, like Yelu Yanxi's grandfather, Qianshun, was also an admirer of the Song Dynasty culture... He actually planned to change the Yuan Dynasty to Zhenguan!

Qianshun thinks he was Weiming Qianshun or Li Qianshun? How did he use Li Shimin's Zhenguan reign? Moreover, this guy not only used Zhenguan reign, but also used Chinese studies in his knowledge. He also planned to open a "national study" in Xingqing Prefecture to imitate the Imperial College of the Song Dynasty and teach the children of the royal nobles of Dangxiang to learn the "Five Classics".

With such a king in Xixia, it is estimated that she will never go to war with the Song Dynasty in her life... Without the restraint of the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty can be eyeing the south, waiting for the Liao Dynasty and the Shubu, the Nuzhi and Gaoli to fight together, right?

Thinking of the fact that he was attacked from all sides and was unstable within, the Emperor Yelu Yanxi, who had just ascended the throne, sighed.

Emperor...it's really not easy to be!

"Your Majesty! Fengxian and Baoxian have arrived!"

A gentle female voice was in Yelu Yanxi's ears. He looked up and saw that his wife Xiao Duoli Lai walked in from outside the tent. Duoli Lai was not a stunning beauty, but she was the wife who shared the hardships with Yanxi. She married Yanxi in the third year of Da'an (1088). She accompanied him for 13 years and finally got through it. Unfortunately, she has not given birth to a child or a daughter for Yanxi. Now Yanxi's four sons are all born to concubines.

However, the position of taking over the laziness in the family is still unshakable, which can be seen from the honorary status of her two brothers (Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian) and a sister (Yanxi's concubine Xiao Guige).

"Call Fengxian, Baoxian comes in together." Yelu Yanxi ordered.

Of course, the palace tents of the Liao Kingdom cannot be compared with the imperial palaces of the Song Dynasty. The two brothers Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Baoxian stood outside. When they heard the voice of their brother-in-law, they went in to pay homage without waiting for the guards to summon them.

"No gift." Yelu Yanxi waved to the two brothers and his wife, "Go up and talk."

The three of them came up and sat cross-legged before the Yelu Yanxi case.

"Baoxian, I've been very lucky all the way." Yelu Yanxi said to Xiao Baoxian, "How is it in the south? How is their official family better than the previous one?"

Xiao Baoxian turned out to be from Kaifeng Prefecture to come all the way.

“It’s much stronger.”

What?

Yelu Yanxi was shocked. The one in front was already very powerful. How could this one be even more powerful?

"Where is the strength?"

"Everywhere is strong," said Xiao Baoxian, "literary, martial arts, appearance, body..."

"Wait, do you think martial arts? This Song Dynasty official knows martial arts?" The queen lazi suddenly interrupted and asked.

It sounds fresh... Isn't the Song Dynasty officials the kind of people who need help from walking and need to breathe after walking for a few steps?

"Yes!" Xiao Baoxian said, "When the banquet was given by Qionglinyuan, the Song Dynasty officials also came to shoot arrows in person, nine dou of step bows, and three arrows from a hundred steps away (smacked the target, not the bull's eye)."

"Driving the nine-dou step bow?" Xiao Fengxian, who came from Zhongjing (Zhongjing is not far from Guangpingdian) Dading Prefecture (King Xi is not hereditary title, but an official who manages the six ministries of the Xiwang Mansion) was also stunned, "That's amazing? You're not mistaken?"

"How could you read it wrong?" Xiao Baoxian said, "This Song Lord is very powerful. Some people in Kaifeng Prefecture compared him to Emperor Taizong of Tang."

"God khan!" Xiao Duoli took a deep breath, "Then isn't my Daliao very dangerous?"

"Oh, girl," Xiao Bao smiled first, "In fact, the Song people did not have a high opinion of Emperor Taizong of Tang, and believed that they were just the doctrine of the mean with excellent literary and martial arts... they were not as good as Emperor Taizong of Song."

"Who said this?"

"Ouyang Xiu."

Xiao Duoli lazi said to her husband: "This person must be a treacherous minister!"

"He is a famous minister."

"So you can be a name for a fool?"

After hearing his wife's words, Yelu Yanxi shook his head with a wry smile. His sisters, Lazy and Xiao Gui Ge, were all good, but they were a little confused...

"Then how did this little Emperor Taizong of Tang, who was not as good as Emperor Taizong of Song, treat me, the Great Liao?"
