Chapter 1,796 Betrayal

In Bingzi, the Tatars defeated the Liao army in Baituogou, and Yelu Yanxi's 70,000-strong army was wiped out.

At the end of the day, Li Kui, with the power of victory, divided his troops to capture Tu Er and Yong'an.

On the day of the army's defeat, Yelu and Zhang Jianu, the commander of the Liao Pishi left army, died in battle. Xiao Xiefu, the commander of the right army of Pishi, heard that the army was completely destroyed and ordered his soldiers to surrender and commit suicide in the stronghold.

During the war, Yelu Yanxi was attacked by Li Kui's Ugu chief Yu Jue, and the enemy Lie chief Bali Gu made a surprise attack. However, he was rescued by Etele, the commander of the central route, desperately trying to rescue him.

The yellow room, the military tent, all the armor and weapons were outnumbered by the enemy, a thousand nobles' sons, 2,000 guards, and 20,000 Han and Tibetan followers, many of whom were slaughtered and captured.

There was also a small miracle in this battle. After the battle, Zhang Jie was found among the dead by Li Kui. He had already died. Magusu said that he could try the tribe's method.

So Li Kui killed a horse, emptied the horse's belly and stuffed Zhang Jie inside. An hour later, Zhang Jie revived.

The southern road was cut off, so Yelu Yanxi had no choice but to hunt Jingzhou in the north.

Xin You and Li Kui went down the Dafu River, raided along the way, and captured ten bronze cannons from the Liao Kingdom at Yakdu.

At the end of Yiwei, Li Kui's troops came to Ningzhou and bombarded the city with artillery.

Ningzhou was extremely empty. Yelu Dabeinu heard the bad news of the army's demise and led the troops in the city to go north to look for Yelu Yanxi.

Therefore, the Tatars set up their cannons and blasted them. The old and weak soldiers in the city suddenly became frightened and surrendered.

Ningzhou was also the first Liao city to surrender without a fight.

This was a logistics base prepared by the Liao people for the 200,000-strong army that defended Jinshan. It contained a lot of baggage. After Li Kui got the supplies, he repaired them for several days before sending Jeddah to attack Beijing, Magusu to attack Taizhou, and Menggantulak to attack Yongzhou.

.

The reason why they did not go north to defeat the lost dog was that the bad nature of the Tatars resurfaced. The Jinshan defense line of the Liao people was completely broken. The Tatar cavalry ran rampant in the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom, burning, killing, and looting. Even Li Kui could not control it.

The places the Tatars most want to visit are Shangjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and Changchun, the agricultural hinterland!

For a time, there was a tremor in Shangjing, Fengzhou, and Changchun Prefecture. There were three surprises in one day. People on the road were panicked. Refugees fleeing the war were pouring on the road. All kinds of news spread a lot.

…

The city of Shangjing was filled with sadness.

Not only was the emperor missing in this battle, but also the Liao Palace Tent Room, the strongest elite of the Khitan, as well as countless famous ministers and generals, countless nobles, officials and the children of the common people who went to Beijing.

Almost every house in the city turned white.

According to people who fled back to the city, Baituogou was filled with the corpses of defeated soldiers. It was midsummer and the stench was so overwhelming that even the Tatars designated that area as a restricted area. No one dared to enter for fear of spreading rumors.

plague.

Yelu stayed in Beijing and was very worried. He sent envoys to the north to inquire, but they couldn't find anything.

Now there are King Qin, King Jin, the Queen, Concubine Yuan, and Concubine Wen in the palace. They are all panic-stricken. Every time they summon the ministers, they can do nothing but cry bitterly.

The empress and the concubine Yuan requested that her brother Xiao Fengxian lead the northeastern army back to Beijing, while the capital commander Yelu Zhangnu advocated asking the emperor's uncle and King Zheng Yelu Chun to lead the southwestern army to the north. Xiao Tuobujia, the prime minister of the Beifu, Wang Shiru, the counselor of the Beiyuan, and others

Then he advocated calling Wang Jing to Beijing to take charge of the matter, and there were different opinions for a while.

Troubled times came, and the power of those who held military power expanded. Yelu Zhangnu was Yelu Chunhou's spy in Beijing who used his humble words to win over. Seeing that his suggestions were not adopted, he simply led his subordinates to rob the treasury and property, and went to the capital, carrying them with him along the way.

Wrapping up the people, they attempted to go south and join Xiao Dili.

Xiao Dili is the grandson of the emperor's uncle. He was doted on by the emperor's uncle since he was a child. He was a hostage before and stayed in Beijing as a deputy. Later, the political chaos in the Liao Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of killing the bandit Zhao Zhongge. Together they escaped from the capital and ran to the south.

.

At that time, in order to check and balance Yelv Chun, Yelu Yanxi promoted Xiao Dili to accept the decree and know Jingzhou to resist Yelu Chun.

Xiao Dili accepted Yelu Zhangnu. After learning about the chaos in Shangjing, he looked around the country and found that only the Emperor Taishu and Yelu Chun's line had hope, so he decided to surrender.

After discussing with Yelu Zhangnu, they simply divided into two groups. He and his deputy Yelu Yan stayed south and went south to report to Yelu Dun about the abolition of the establishment. Zhang Nu, on the other hand, reorganized the sergeants, advanced for King Zheng, and led the army to attack Beijing again.

Yelv Zhangnu returned to his ancestral state and led his staff to report to the Taizu Temple: "Our foundation of the Liao Dynasty was formed by Taizu's hundreds of battles. Recently, Tian Zuo only followed his pleasure and did not care about all opportunities. The powerful enemy was rampant and the master and his disciples were defeated.

.Coupled with the rise of thieves, the country is in danger.

Today the earth collapsed, and I saw that Emperor Xingzong, King Sun Zheng, was honest and virtuous, capable of managing the world and bringing peace to the people, and the ministers wanted to establish themselves as rulers of the country.

The ministers and other members of the Tieyu clan have been blessed in this world. They want to calm the spirits of the Nine Temples and save the lives of all people. This is why I did this.

I am truly sincere, and I hope that the Holy Spirit will bless you."

At the same time, Yelv Shensi also sent envoys Yelu Chun and Beiyan Zhangnu. Xiao Di's enemies rebelled, and the imperial court appointed Yelu Chun, King of Wei, as the marshal of all the troops in the world, and ordered him to lead his troops northward to eradicate the rebellion and defend the capital.

When Yelu Chun faced the envoys from both sides, he assessed the situation and took advantage of the opportunity of "the angel came to summon him" to let Xiao dili and Yelu Yanliu play their final value. "Chun cried to the envoys, that is, he beheaded the enemy and Yanliu's head as a sacrifice.

Capital".

Afterwards, he swore an oath in Yuyang, expressing his loyalty to the imperial court and his determination to go north to King Qin.

The army was divided into three groups, one going from Yuyang and Jingzhou to Bei'an Prefecture and Zezhou; the other going from Lulong to Yuguan to guard the Western Liaoning Corridor; and the other way back west to Fengsheng Prefecture and Datong Prefecture.

The former is to capture the Upper Kyoto Road, the middle is to defend against the Tokyo Road, and the latter is to have a showdown with his father and gain control of the Nishikyo Road.

Yelu Zhangnu did not expect that Yelu Chun would become a leader again and again. Not only did he sell himself, but he also killed Xiao Dili and became the "Marshal of the Military and Horse Capital" appointed by the imperial court.

Out of anger, he simply raised his banner to become independent, captured the Zu and Qing prefectures, and restored sacrifices in the temples. He still expressed his intention of raising troops, and moved to appeal to the prefectures and counties, as well as the officials in the mausoleums.

For a time, officials and generals from Raozhou, Bohai and other places who did not know the truth came to respond one after another. By the time Zhang Nu arrived at Guangpingdian, the number had reached tens of thousands.

Yelu Shen thought that he had no troops at hand, and as a last resort decided to use the Shunguo daughter Zhi Aqianchan, who had fled to the west of Shangjing, and his cousin Yelu Yuxu who had failed in the political struggle.

However, this move aroused strong opposition from the inner palace. In the end, Yelu Yuxu was still not allowed to use it, and the task of exterminating Yelu Zhangnu fell on the shoulders of Aquchan.

It happened that there was also a problem within Yelu Zhangnu's army. His party, Yelu Nugu, and others were violent and lawless, and robbed women and livestock.

Yelvzhang Nudu could not control her, and she felt remorseful, so she took the opportunity of being invited to a banquet and killed Yelvnugu.

The remaining members of Yelu Nu's ancient party rebelled against Zhang Nu again, and the generals of the Liao Kingdom who had previously taken refuge with Yelu Zhangnu now also learned the truth about Yelu Zhangnu's rebellion against Liao and led them away one after another.

Yelvzhangnu had no choice but to dare to attack Shangjing again and went north to prepare to surrender to the Tatars.

Aqianchan led his troops to pursue and defeat him, killed his general Yelu Milizhi, captured more than 200 nobles, bound him, sent him off, and executed him.

His wife was assigned to work in the embroidery courtyard, or some of the nearby servants were sent as maidservants; the rest who were able to escape all fled and took up residence in the mountains and swamps as bandits.

The entire Shangjing Road situation became even more chaotic.

…

Go to the southeast of Beijing and go to Huaisheng Temple, where a gorgeous convoy of carriages stops.

The changes in the situation in the past month were dizzying. Power in the capital changed hands several times. Almost every day, a group of officials were pushed out of the city and beheaded because they were on the wrong side of the line.

Yelv Shensi, who stayed behind in Shangjing, together with Xiao Tuobojia, the prime minister of the Beifu, Wang Shiru, the counselor of the Beiyuan, and others, used their superb political skills to finally calm down the situation on all sides, save Shangjing, and achieve a temporarily stable situation.

In the capital city of Shangjing, Xiao Temo was deployed in the palace of the Han people, and the vice-capital commander of the march to the east was in charge of intervening. They were urgently recruiting villagers and reorganizing the army.

To the north, the Tatars were still raging in various states, and Changchun was in danger. To the south, Yelv Chun's army was approaching, and Xiao Fengxian, who relied on the rear party, was still entangled with Aguda. At first, he only dared to send Xiao Wuna and 30,000 people to rush to Beijing for emergency response, but

Wang Jing, the prime minister of the Southern Academy, was also cut off from the southeast by the Bohai rebel Gao Yongchang, and various supplies could not be transported.

Today, several empresses from the palace came here to pray for their husband, whose life or death is uncertain, and for the country's precarious situation.

Also coming with them were King Yelu Aolu Ao of Jin, Yelu Yali, King of Liang, Yelu Ding, King of Qin, and the newly born King Yelu Ning of Xu.

Among them, King Yelu Ao and Lu Wo of Jin were born to Concubine Wen Xiao Sese, King Yelu Yali of Liang was born to the old concubine and was raised by Queen Xiao Duolilan, King Yelu Ding of Qin, and King Yeruning of Xu were born to Concubine Xiao Guige of Yuan Dynasty.
