Chapter 99 Resignation without reward-10
"The Ross rebellion has not been quelled yet, and the Roma Turks have started again.*(*)"
The news of the tight end in the Xiaguo River was soon delivered to Yelu Dashi. Yelu Dashi poured a cup of cherry wine himself and waved his hand to let Yelu Tiege pour a cup for himself. In the past ten days, because of the defeat of the navy, Ezhou could not capture it for a long time. Yelu Dashi had always had a gloomy face, and now he finally laughed rare: "I beat the wild boar, worried that I would provoke the tiger. Now the tiger is busy chasing the bears, so we can fight the wild boar with confidence." Yelu Dashi raised his head and drank the fine wine. This Southeast wine is not as strong as the strong wine in the north, but occasionally drinking a cup or two will make it unique.
"This is the God of Changsheng to bless me, the Great Liao Dynasty," Yelu Tiege drank the wine, frowned, and said, "Wanyan Zongbi has been imprisoned for more than ten days, how can this person be dealt with?" A few days ago, the navy was defeated. Yelu Dashi was furious and ordered Wanyan Zongbi to be imprisoned, but he has not been defeated. The Jurchen navy lacked the commander and the army had no fighting spirit, and he was not the opponent of the Song navy. In the past few days, the river surface of the river has been almost completely controlled by the Song army. The Song Dynasty warships came and went freely on the river, and even the sword boats dared to go deep into the Han River to spy on the military situation of the Liao army, which made Yelu Tiege very troubled.
"Let it come out first." Yelu Dashi leaned back comfortably, closed his eyes and pondered.
The east and west are thousands of miles apart, and although the soldiers are strong and brave, they are exhausted. This is the biggest weakness of Xia. Yelu Dashi, when he was a member of the Hanlin Academy, pondered the situation of Xia very thoroughly. According to the military situation he obtained in the past, although Romu Tuque was an emerging power, the Dashi power it represented was a force that dominated the West for more than a hundred years. Now Romu Tuque destroyed Egypt and Baghdad Caliph, and was like the co-lord of the Dashi power. Xia Kingdom wanted to clean up the situation in the west, which was not possible in just a few months. In this way, the Liao Kingdom had much more time to attack the Song Dynasty.
Yelu Dashi opened his eyes and stood up suddenly, looking energetic. He disappeared from the fatigue and anxiety of the previous few days. He patted the Privy Councilor of the North Court on the shoulder and smiled and said, "The warriors have worked hard to attack the city for days. Tonight, slaughter cattle and sheep to reward the three armies. Before tomorrow, I will supervise the battle myself, and each unit will take turns to attack Hanyang."
Yelu Dashi said as he walked, "Tell Wanyan Zongbi, no matter what he did, even if he could not defeat the navy of the Southern Dynasty, when I attack Hanyang City, don't let the flies and mosquitoes on the waters of the Southern Dynasty buzz around." Yelu Tiege smiled and obeyed the order. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has become more and more majestic and rarely so unrestrained. He followed Yelu Dashi down the emperor's camel carriage, and the four constellations were carefully followed immediately.
The orders of Your Majesty to reward the three armies were passed down, and the camps were cheering for dozens of miles. After the defeat of the navy, the Liao soldiers attacked Hanyang City from the west from the land to the west and suffered losses. Because the Song navy blocked the river, the North Court did not dare to send a large group of troops to Jiangdong. The Liao cavalry who had originally crossed the river also hurriedly retreated more than ten miles from the city of Ezhou. The morale of the army had fallen to the extreme. Many of the generals in the Liao army followed Yelu Dashi to conquer the north. For more than ten years of war, although Your Majesty has not blamed you these days, everyone understands Your Majesty's anger and is worried. Now that they are urging the orders to reward the three armies, everyone breathes a sigh of relief. For a moment, they kill cattle and sheep everywhere. Except for the people who are on duty, each camp has banned wine. The Khitans, Jurchens, and Xi people are all addicted to drinking. After drinking, the troops sing loudly around the bonfire: "The warriors ride horses and bend bows, and the warriors are both wise and brave,
We are loyal to the glory of the Great Liao,
God of immortality bless us, Your Majesty is watching us,
We are strong and we are on the verge of horses and on an expedition, and we are like the strong winds sweeping the world."
Yelu Dashi and Yelu Tiege walked lightly and walked to a bonfire. The soldiers did not recognize them, but knew they were Khitans, so they handed him a bowl of wine. Yelu Dashi took it with a smile and drank it all. There was a gap in the wine bowl, and the wine dripped wet the white robe. Yelu Dashi laughed and simply pulled open his clothes and handed the wine glass to Yelu Tiege. He clapped his hands and sang loudly while clapping his hands.
On a hot summer night, the singing spread from afar. More than ten miles away from the Liao army camp, the child was shivering in his mother's arms and shivering. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The mother gently touched the child's head and sang in a low voice, "Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The child gradually fell asleep in his mother's arms. Only then did Li put him on the bed and walked outside. Seeing the man at home was sharpening a sharp knife, he couldn't help but lose his lust, "Master, what are you doing?" Zhou Qian turned around and looked at the woman's green face, and felt a sense of sorrow in his heart. His face was gloomy and shook his head and said, "If you can't survive these days, you should go to Hanyang to join the army instead of starving to death." As soon as he finished speaking, Li's tears fell. Just a few days ago, a group of merchants searched for cattle, sheep and other livestock everywhere, saying that they were supplying the Liao army as military rations. He threw two strings of money at the door and took the cow away.
The Zhou family was originally considered a wealthy family. In addition to dozens of acres of paddy fields, they also opened a sesame oil mill. Zhou Qian didn't like studying, but he loved fists, football, guns and sticks, which made Mr. Zhou very angry. After marrying and having children, his mind and nature finally restrained. Unexpectedly, the Liao invaders invaded, and a group of tyrants who helped the evil and took away the Zhou family's land, industry, and houses by relying on their power. Mr. Zhou was so angry that he died. His last words made Zhou Qian live a life of farming and living a life of his life.
"After I leave, my mother and children at home will depend on you." Zhou Qian said sadly, "As soon as the food and salary is paid, I will ask someone to send it back." Li nodded in tears, turned around to pack her husband. There were not a few clothes in the house, one of which was left by the dead father-in-law. It was not clear and the child was still asleep. Zhou Qian put the sharp knife on his waist, covered it with his clothes, bid farewell to his wife, and left home to join the army. Zhou Qian felt the crying gaze behind him, and held it back and did not look back. The cool night breeze blew through the thin clothes, and his strong body seemed to be shaking slightly.
At the head of Hanyang City, the noise and singing in the Liao army camp came. The defenders were not sure about it, and they were a little worried. The enemy was very angry, but it was not a good thing. "I wonder what the Liao dogs are doing?" Ouyang Shan murmured. He held the city wall and leaned out. He saw the bonfire in the thick night like stars and couldn't tell what it was.
"Maybe Yelu Dashi has passed away," Zhao Xingde smiled, "The people of Liao are ascending the throne to reward the three armies. After drinking this wine, they draw their swords to fight for the throne themselves." He looked up at the distance, and the stars flashed in the night sky. "Are the Khitans killed each other?" Ouyang Shan asked, with some hope on his face.
"If you really want to kill, it is much more powerful than the Central Plains." Zhao Xingde shook his head, restrained his smile, and whispered, "No matter how they do their own things, we can do our own things well, and there is no gap to take advantage of them. Even if there are ten times more Khitans, it is not worth fearing." He turned his head and ordered, "By the way, everyone is the chief of the banquet. What do the officers have to think?" Ouyang Shan smiled and said, "Eat delicious food and drink spicy food, what else do you have to say." Zhao Xingde's eyes were a little complicated and nodded, "That's good. The war lasted for a long time, and many barracks were dilapidated. I have ordered that some clean and spacious courtyards be cleaned up in the city for the residence of officers and their families. Every day, special people will send fresh meat and vegetables. If the officers want their house to be quiet, they can move into these small courtyards to live."
"The last general's family is in Bianliang," Ouyang Shan said with a dim face and clasped his fists: "Thank you, the coach, for your kindness."
In Xiangyang City, a group of Liao cavalry gathered outside the city, one by one was exhausted by the long journey, but there was a depressing excitement in their eyes.
At the city gate, Xiao Zhonggong looked behind him timidly, and Zhang Xian stared at his eyes and his lips moved slightly. Xiao Zhonggong was well versed in Chinese, and based on his mouth, he read Zhang Xian's warning words. Thinking of the rumors that Zhen** was eating human flesh in Shuzhou, Xiao Zhonggong couldn't help but tremble. After falling into Zhen**'s hands, Xiao Zhonggong even had nightmares.
"We are subordinates of General Xiao Xiangsheng, please open the city gate!" Xiao Zhonggong looked at the city head, smiling even worse than crying.
The city replied loudly: "Xiangyang is an important town in the southern expedition. Your Majesty has issued an order. Other troops and horses are not allowed to enter the city. You are stationed outside the city and wait for General Xiao Olila's arrangements." Xiao Olila looked at this miserable defeated soldier. The accent of Shangjing was particularly pleasant, and he had heard of Xiao Zhonggong's name.
"Sir," Xiao Zhonggong turned his head to look at Zhang Xian and said with a sad face, "They will not let us enter the city, they will only let us stay outside the city."
"Whatever you say, we will go to the city to report on the military situation in Shuzhou!" Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows and shouted in a low voice.
Among the thousands of Khitan prisoners in Shuzhou, this guy was finally selected. Not only did he kill him, but it was also said that his family background was also considered a powerful royal relative of Shangjing. His family also asked the governor Xiao Olila to ask Xiao Olila to help transfer Xiao Zhonggong to the imperial camp. Even if Xiao Olila did not help, at least he had heard of Xiao Zhonggong.
Xiao Zhonggong complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey. He turned to the city and shouted: "I want to enter the city and report the situation of Shuzhou's defeat in detail to the governor of Xiaowulila." He was so upset that he didn't know if Xiaowulila still remembered himself. The governor had ordered these troops to station outside the city, and he was still talking nonsense. In anger, he ordered that he be shot to death by arrows?
"Report to the military situation? What's there to report?" Xiao Olila frowned and suddenly remembered the rumors that Temuge abandoned his army and fled, resulting in the great defeat of Shuzhou. Xiao Olila was a little dissatisfied with His Majesty's power to command troops and hand over a foreigner. Now, with Xiao Zhonggong, who has experienced it, he wants to hear the situation of the Battle of Shuzhou with his own ears.
"Let him come into the city alone." Xiao Olila ordered. Put down the suspension bridge, and the city gate slowly opened a crack.
