Chapter 58
Yelu Yilie drooped his head and his face were blue and black, and had been listless all day long. Empress Xiao wiped her tears and complained: "Your Majesty is good to teach him hard, but Yilie is still a child, how can he stand this?" She came here specifically and begged Your Majesty to comfort the emperor and put sweet dates and rub the slap in his palm. The person who tied the bell must know that Yelu Yilie has always regarded his father as the greatest hero in the world.
"If he reflects on himself, it would be fine. Otherwise, the medicine would be in vain." Yelu Dashi answered, and was still reading the military information report.
Xiao Tai said unwillingly, "Your Majesty has done so many unprecedented things, why did you teach Yi Lie so much? The Khitans respect the heroes who stand tall and upright. Does Your Majesty bear to let Yi Lie be a mediocre person?" She was so heartless that she was shocked when she said that she was shocked and thought to herself, did Your Majesty really not want to pass the throne to Yi Lie, but to pass it to the son-in-law of the fox, so she deliberately wanted to make Yi Lie a mediocre person, so she was not the other person's way of doing this. Thinking of this, Empress Xiao's face turned pale. When Yelu Dashi had not ascended the throne, her tears rolled down like a broken pearl, and she was sobbing that she couldn't speak. She secretly hated the concubine Xiao Sesse again.
Yelu Dashi comforted him a few words, but Empress Xiao just refused to obey. The guards reported to the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court for a visit, but Xiao Dabuyan left crying.
When Yelu Tiege came, he met the queen and was stared at her fiercely. He married Concubine Xiao's daughter, and now the couple has a good relationship. It is said that Yelu Dashi intends to continue the election of the eight Khitan tribes in the future. Yelu Tiege, as the Privy Council envoy of the Northern Court who handles the affairs of the Khitan tribes, is the one who everyone wants to be. However, Yelu Tiege is the confidant general who has been following Yelu Dashi for the longest time, and has no extravagance for the throne. Instead, he acts more cautiously and does not let others catch the handle.
He looked at the queen's back with awkward expression and sighed, "Your Majesty's painstaking efforts will be understood in the future." He said worriedly: "Your Majesty's tactic of trying to get is indeed a clever plan. However, after the army set out, the remnants of the previous dynasty and the rebels of the traitors and rebels took the opportunity to attack the imperial city, and they would do their best to attack the imperial city, and to control the concubines and the princes and princes. Should I send more elite soldiers and generals to guard the imperial city? Otherwise, if the army does not return to the rescue, I will never be redeemed." Over the years, the rebels of the previous dynasty and the Khitan nobles who had two hearts were almost completely cleaned up, but they were still a little disabled.
The remnants of the slags, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the country to go to Liaodong. Yelu Dashi designed a trap of returning to the horse. The army pretended to make an expedition. In fact, it was convenient to stop and camp not far from Shangjing to camp, and sent railings and horses to block traffic information. For the rioters lurking in the capital, this was the best and last chance. Once Yelu Dashi wiped out Liaodong, his position as emperor would be unshakable. Therefore, they would definitely launch a rebellion. At this time, Yelu Dashi legitimately raised troops to quell the chaos, eliminated the troubles, and left an elite army to guard Shangjing, and then went to Liaodong with peace of mind.
"I'm afraid I'll be shocked by this," Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, "The palace tent guarding the imperial city was originally an elite loyal and brave man. The queen was born in a general, she was quite brave and familiar with the army. Even if the rebels attacked with all their might, there should be no problem for a few days." He hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "You can think of a way to transfer the Boy Camp in Shangjing into the imperial city in advance."
A ray of golden light shot into the dome of the imperial account, and it was the sunset again. Yelu Dashi stood up and looked out. The clouds in the distance were setting off the sunset, and in a moment it would sink to the top of the mountain in the distance. The heavy eaves brackets inside the imperial city wall were dyed with a layer of golden rust red by the sunlight. The grassland specially flattened in the palace wall was also dyed golden yellow, and more than a dozen sheep walked back to the sheep pen on the grass.
"The Boy Camp carries the future national destiny of my Great Liao," Yelu Dashi frowned, "It is all the blood of the Khitans, so it is best not to get them involved in this rebellion." Having said that, the Khitans have always implicated their descendants. As the emperor, Yelu Dashi dared not raise tigers and left troubles. He finally sighed and clenched his fists.
"I understand." Yelu Tiege bowed. Your Majesty's plan and arrangements are all profound. Using the reason that the queen is eager to think about her, she will not arouse the suspicion of the rebels, but will also make the rebels thrown into the rat and be afraid of the weapons in the future. It is really wonderful. Your Majesty deliberately neglects the queen and publicly punishes the prince Yelu Yilie, which is probably the idea of the rebels to fight less strange goods.
"What happened to the war in Chenzhou?"
Yelu Tiege looked more respectful and said, "The enemy was helped by the iron barrel cannon of Song State, and built car cannons, stylus, and whirlwind cannons. He threw stones to attack the city, and attacked the city day and night. Whenever the enemy fired stones, the stones fell into the city as rained. Within three days, the moat outside the city of Chenzhou was filled up and the enemy was able to attack the city wall. Within an order, the arrows under the city were like locusts, and the arrows were covered with poison juice. Those who were in the middle were either dead or injured. There were also Jurchen elite soldiers wearing two iron armors, who were not afraid of our arrows and shooting knives, and they rushed to the city desperately. General Yelu Dilie stayed at the city head day and night. Whenever the enemy climbed the city, he personally led our Khitan warriors to fight with him and drove him down the city. Therefore, although he was in trouble all over the world, he never lost an inch of the city wall."
Yelu Tiege hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Dile has submitted several requests for guilt. In his opinion, he seems to have not planned to come back alive from Chenzhou because of his previous mistakes. He is deliberately trying to die for his country."
When Yelu Tiege talked, Yelu Dashi's face was very calm. At this moment, his eyes moved slightly and he sighed: "Dile is a hero of the Khitan. I have not delayed major issues. I have not blamed him. Why did he do anything?" But he was not saying anything. The king and his minister discussed inducing the Jin army to stay away from Ningjiang and Huanglong Mansion, and then went south and penetrated into the territory of Liao Kingdom. After using a large group of elite cavalry to cut off their retreats, he surrounded and annihilated the Jurchens' new forces between Liaoyang and Shenzhou. The North Court had been preparing for this strategy for a long time, and it was touching several aspects. It was a link to one another, and it was quite difficult to implement it.
............
Under the city of Liaoyang, smoke and dust covered the sun, teams of Jin people galloped back and forth, driving the Liao people who had not yet entered the city into the wooden fence. Wanyan Ci was the only 30,000 Jin soldiers who were commanding the south, plundering all the prefectures and counties near Liaoyang. All adult men from the people forced to conquer the city. When the people resisted a little, they immediately attacked the disaster of destroying the family and slaughtering the village. In just over a month, more than 30,000 soldiers were collected. Hundreds of miles near Liaoyang were originally the most prosperous and fertile land in the entire Liaodong. Now there are no people everywhere, only the smell of corpses, which stretch for hundreds of miles, and the towns and villages are empty.
Originally, the Bohai people had almost the same status as the Jurchens during the Liao Dynasty, and there was also a saying that the Jurchens and the Bohai people belonged to the same clan. Therefore, many Bohai tribes were willing to serve the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom also used this point to use wealth and military power as bait to control the Bohai people to lead the troops to attack the city. The Han people did not want to fight for these foreign races and were killed in vain, but they were not allowed to escape. Instead, they were placed under the Bohai people and rushed in front as vanguard infantry, killing and injured.
When Han Ningshuang led his troops to the city of Liaoyang and witnessed this scene, all the soldiers were indignant. Zhao Xingde even commanded the Han army to build camps overnight. In addition to the trenches in the village, he built six forts to make preparations to turn against the Jin soldiers. In addition to more than a hundred soldiers under Zhao Xingde, the artillery battalions of the Han army were all obeyed his orders, and Jian Cheng brought the Fifth Battalion of the Guard from Kaizhou to meet.
The Han army was stationed in the south of Liaoyang City. The Jin soldiers had insufficient siege equipment, and the Han army mounted all the ten three-inch cannons and ten iron barrel cannons they carried in the south of Liaoyang. When Wanyan Ci asked the Han army's artillery battalion to fire artillery to attack the other three walls of the Jin soldiers, Han Ningshuang asked him to transfer thousands of Han'er's signing army to the tent to listen to it. Wanyan Xie had no other choice but to agree to Han Ningshuang's request.
"The Jin soldiers have always driven the army to attack the city, and they are deliberately consuming the elite and morale of the Liao army first," Zhao Xingde whispered to his subordinates, "Let's be careful, don't aim too accurately, so as not to cause unintentional disasters." If the artillery is suppressed too strongly, the Liao cavalry may have to go out of the city to counterattack. At that time, the Jin soldiers can consume the strength of the Han army as long as they look at the wall. Therefore, Zhao Xingde planned that as long as the Jin soldiers did not attack the city with all their strength, his artillery would slacken until the Jin army could not calm down.
Tong Yunjie was stunned, looked at Zhao Xingde, and then looked at the withered and dead soldiers. He pondered for a moment, his eyes sternly, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao should consider it appropriately." He immediately whispered to each gun captain. These gun captains were the top people in the Han military camp. How could they not understand it when they heard this? They raised the gun or turned it a little bit. Many shells flew past the city, which was amazing, but actually did not hurt many people.
The Jurchen tribes threw stones and attacked the city, and they always won more. In the past, they besieged Huanglong Mansion. Now when they attacked Shenzhou, there were thousands of local stone cannons on the hem of the city, so naturally the accuracy was very low. The artillery that the Jin Dynasty originally owned was an old iron barrel cannon purchased from the Song Dynasty, which was not as accurate as the field artillery made by the Xia State. Some were captured from the Liao army or imitated by Liaodong, which were even more inferior. In addition, the gunner's training was not as strict and refined as Zhao Xingde did. Therefore, the generals of the Jin army had never discovered that the Han artillery battalion was slacking off.
Xiao Suxian, the remaining guard in Tokyo, urged the soldiers to fight to the death and not surrender. He even opened the Jin soldiers who were captured by the city to dig their hearts at the top of the city and distributed them to the soldiers guarding the city to eat, cutting off everyone's life. No matter how unbearable the Liao army guarding the city was, there were always tens of thousands of people, and there were a large reserve in Liaoyang City. Although the Jin soldiers were brave and had the help of artillery, the siege continued until March, and news came that the fall of Shenzhou and the defender Yelu Dilie died in the city.
With the fall of Shenzhou, Liaoyang became the last lonely city of Liaodong. The Liao emperor Yelu Dashi seemed to be quite touched. Finally, he ordered Yelu Tiege, the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court, to be the commander of Yelu Yanshan, to be the commander of the right deputy commander, to command 50,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry to rescue Liaoyang.
