Chapter 1,798 Chaos

It was Pu Xian who pushed Xiao Sesu away: "You can't stay here for a long time. I'm going to lure the guards away. Your Majesty will take the opportunity to open the box and escape with the prince."

After saying that, he put on Su Muzhe and walked out of the other courtyard. As soon as he stepped through the courtyard door, he suddenly heard an "ouch".

The two guards on guard heard this and hurried out: "Mother, what's wrong with you..."

Xiao Se rushed to the room where the worship was kept, opened his box, and a little boy showed a happy smile: "Mom"

Xiao Sesu covered her child's mouth: "Ji'er is good, you haven't made a sound for so long, you are such a good boy."

After saying that, he gently let go of his hand: "But our game is not over yet. We still have to hide and seek with the guards. This time, mother will lead you personally, okay?"

"But the rules of the game are that you can't speak yet. Do you understand? If you understand, just nod."

Yelu Ao and Lu Ao immediately nodded their heads, with excitement in their eyes.

Xiao Sesu took him out of the box, secretly ran along the wall of the house to the back door, and then along the deep corridor to the dining room next to Xiangji Kitchen.

When Daifahuo Toutuo in the dining room saw the two of them, he whispered: "The thief is here, you two, please offend me for now."

After saying that, he took out two large sacks and put them on the two of them.

Jin King Yelu Ao and Lu Ao asked innocently: "Uncle, are you also playing hide and seek with us?"

Huo Gong Tutuo was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Sese quickly said: "Ji'er, you made a mistake. You promised not to speak. Now you only have one chance left."

After speaking, he winked at Huo Gong Tutuo.

Huo Gong Tutuo then quickly put the sack on the head of Jin King Yelu Ao Lu O.

Soon, Huo Gong Tutuo put the two of them on a wooden cart, placed two sour buckets on the cart, added a bunch of leaves, rotten cabbage and the like, and pushed them out of the back mountain gate.

When leaving the temple, the guard came over to check and saw two bags of garbage that smelled rancid. He waved his hand and let Toutuo pass.

When we came to the woods at the back mountain gate, there was already a carriage parked here, as well as seven or eight strong and tough men. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, they all looked like soldiers.

Seeing that Yelu Yu was the leader of these people, he rescued Xiao Sesu and Yelu Ao Luo from the bags, helped them get on the carriage, and led a horse to Huo Gong Tutuo: "I won't thank you enough for your kindness, Brother Wei, let's go

!”

When Toutuo turned on his horse, he showed the golden seal on his right cheek: "There will be people to help you after crossing the Lang River. Outside the Lang River, the Sa family has its own dignity, but within the Lang River, it has to rely on Jiedeng."

Yelu Yuxu didn't say much. He just nodded and said, "Leave the journey out of Beijing to me."

After speaking, a dozen horses and several people protected the carriage and ran toward the southeast.

The prayer activity went very smoothly. Concubine Wen didn't say a word after she came back from cleansing her hands. Even if she was stopped by the guards to set rules outside the hall, she was obedient.

This is also consistent with Concubine Wen's tolerant style in the past.

However, after the Buddha ceremony was completed and they returned to the small courtyard where they had rested, Concubine Wen did not come out for a long time. When the guards could not wait any longer and entered the courtyard to ask questions, they discovered that in addition to the Samantabhadra daughter who committed suicide by hanging from the beam, Concubine Wen's mother and son were missing!

There was only one pillow disguised as a child under the quilt.

The queen and Concubine Yuan were extremely furious. They searched all around the temple. At the same time, they ordered them to stay in Beijing and send troops to search for the capital. They surrounded the three residences of Concubine Wen's father, the uncle's eldest father's house, her brother-in-law Yelu Tageli, and her brother-in-law Yelu Yuxu.

stand up.

When the search arrived at Yelu Yuxu's house, it was discovered that Yelu Yuxu was also missing.

The queen wanted to punish the three families for rebelling against the party, but Yelu Shensi who stayed behind, Prime Minister Xiao Tuobojia, and Wang Shiru who participated in politics all strongly opposed it and only agreed to expand the search scope.

The surroundings of the capital were already in chaos, and in the end, a lot of time was wasted before the army took hounds and searched the bank of the Lang River. They only found an abandoned Xi chariot, and there was no trace of Concubine Wen, mother and son.

Yelu Yuxu led the team across the Lang River, where a light Song Dynasty-style light vehicle had already followed. The team suddenly became faster and rushed towards Changchun Prefecture.

For Xiao Sese and Yelu Ao Luo, this was a thrilling and sensory-subverting trip.

After crossing the Wolf River, we entered an area infested by Tatars, filled with refugees who had no idea where to go.

Bandits robbed houses, powerful men organized villagers to defend themselves, and Tatars roared back and forth.

Many bandit forces have become entangled along the way, such as Hou Ji, Zhang Nu, Dong Pang'er, An Sheng'er, Zhang Gao'er, Huo Liuge... There are more than a dozen groups of bandits by name alone, with a crowd of more than 200,000.

"Thieves have sprung up in the states on the east road, and they have plundered the people to feed themselves."

The prefectures and prefectures defended their cities, and numerous generals and commanders of the prefectures went to the army. They ordered all the local residents and those with more than ten miscellaneous animals to join the army.

We also encountered many interceptions, ambushes, and robberies by refugees on the road. There was violence and death everywhere. Not only were Tatars robbing, bandits were robbing, refugees were robbing, but even the government troops were robbing.

Fortunately, Wei Toutuo's name was very loud in this area, so they did not take the main road, but specifically went to the hilly areas where bandits gathered.

Countless bandits with banners came up to intercept them when they saw them. Wei Toutuo greeted them several times. Not only did the bandits get out of the way, but they also sometimes gave them meat and food. If they wanted to rest, they could go into the village to rest. The bandits also helped feed them.

horse.

If he encounters an army, Yelu Yuxu's silver medal will be able to pass unimpeded.

The most terrifying thing was the hungry refugees and small groups of Tatar barbarians I encountered when crossing the main road between prefectures and counties.

It wasn't until he encountered a Tatar troop of a thousand men that Wei Toutuo showed off a piece of jade. The captain immediately bowed to the ground respectfully and saluted, and then sent his elite troops to escort them all the way.

It was peaceful after that. After passing several places where the Tatar army was stationed, Xiao Sesu saw an organized group of vicious savages.

The armor and swords of these savages were no worse than those of the Liao army's palace tents. They also had huge carriages connected together to form defensive bunkers. There were sergeants stationed on them with guns and crossbows. They were clearly regular troops with strong combat capabilities.

After arriving at a posthouse in Wuzhou by the Xiliao River, a Han scholar in his fifties, surrounded by several Tatars who were unusually majestic, came forward, took away Wei Toutuo's jade, and then waved for the army to escort him.

They arrived at the Huanghe River.

After crossing the river, a group of female straight people came to meet them. They heard Wei Toutuo negotiate with them. They were the Yidian tribe, a small tribe near Tongzhou.

Nvzhi of the Yidian tribe escorted them to Liuhe Town, where they finally met the state army sent by Wang Jing, the prime minister of Nanfu.

All the way here, Xiao Sesu's heart has become cold.

The tragic situation in Shangjing Road meant that it was no longer possible for Han Guangwu and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to turn the tide and overcome the old outlook.

…

Liaoyang, Prime Minister's Mansion, Nanyuan.

Wang Jing was sighing.

Wang Jing has been sighing lately.

The Liao Dynasty had obviously shown signs of rejuvenation, especially after the Liaoyang Iron Works was finally put into operation due to everyone's hard work. The country was about to embark on the path of prosperity in the Song Dynasty. How could it fall into turmoil in the blink of an eye?

The Tatar rebellion is actually not terrible. The traditional power of the Liao Kingdom has always been east of Jinshan. In Wang Jing's eyes, the east of Jinshan is the real road to Beijing. As for the two recruitment departments in the southwest and northwest, they are to exile prisoners.

It's just a place.

The Liao Kingdom seems to have a vast territory, but in fact most of the areas are nomadic lands of barbarian tribes. The core areas are the part of the Shangjing Road between Jinshan and Baishan, the Tokyo Road on the Liaohe Plain, the Zhongjing Road between Songshan and Yanshan, and Youyun

Nanjing Road in the area, and part of Xijing Road north of Taihang and south of the Great Wall.

Nowadays, the north and west of Linhuang Mansion on Shangjing Road have become a land ravaged by foreign tribes, and even the whereabouts of the emperor are unknown; the east is watched by straight women; bandits are everywhere in the middle, everyone is in danger, and the government has almost completely lost its role.

The north of Tokyo Road borders the area controlled by Nvzhi. Although Aguda has not yet expressed interest in Tokyo Road, Wang Jing will never take it lightly.

Moreover, a group of fierce bandits appeared in the north of Liaoyang Prefecture. Gao Yongchang from Bohai initially just wanted food, but it turned into a big disaster.

When the chaos broke out, the high-ranking ministers who were left behind in Tokyo gathered in various camps to ridicule the Han soldiers with more than a thousand people and annihilated the rebels in the city. Gao Yongchang escaped from the city, and the high-ranking ministers searched for the leaders of the rebellion the next day, and killed dozens of them.

As a result, when people are in a hurry, some people will be harmed by it indiscriminately, resulting in a violent situation that cannot be restrained.

After Gao Yongchang left the city, he summoned the Bohai cavalry army and said that if they stayed behind, they would attack the Bohai people. So the cavalry army also rebelled, took advantage of it, and arrived at Shoushan Gate.

Gao Yongchang, a high-ranking minister, visited the house to give an edict and the envoy returned, but Gao Yongchang refused to obey.

On the night of the fifth day of the lunar month, a fire was set up in the city, the door was opened inside, and the cavalry rushed in and formed a formation on the thoroughfare.

Gao Qingchen, Quan Zhizhi Zhang Lin and other supervisors refused and finally managed to repel Gao Yongchang. However, the battle in the busy city caused great disaster to the people of Tokyo.

What's even more frightening is that according to Gongzhuo from the Ministry of Industry's Shangshu Office, even the Bohai people in Posaling are already unstable. If the Liaoyang Iron Works falls into the hands of Gao Yongchang, it will be really doomed.
