Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Of course Yelu Yanxi knew what Yelu Dashi said was right, but didn't he pin his hopes on Cai Jing?So Yelu Dashi's remonstrance was dismissed on the spot, while Xiao Long was bitter because of the unclear severance of friendship and justice, and made an excuse for it. Could the emperor's words be wrong?Why are you Yelu Dashi so blind?

Therefore, before Xiao Long left Yanjing, the secret discussion between the monarch and his ministers in the court of Liao Kingdom broke up unhappily, and Xiao Long also wanted to move back from the Song Dynasty to fight Yelu Dashi's face.

But now that Bai Sheng said this, Xiao Long understood that Yelu Dashi's face could not be slapped, and Yelu Dashi would have to slap him in the face of Xiao Long and Emperor Tianzuo.

Some people may say, you didn't move the reinforcements from Song Dynasty, isn't it good to move the Liangshan army from Baisheng?And it seems that the combat power is a hundred times stronger than that of the Great Song Forbidden Army. Isn't this a miracle?

Xiao Long didn't think so.That's right, Bai Sheng did lead an army with extremely strong combat effectiveness, but in order to help his father-in-law, Bai Sheng had already fought with the gods. Who knows what the future and fate of Bai Sheng's team will be?

If Bai Sheng did not join this dispute, then all countries would fight with their own strength, and the result would be that the Liao Kingdom would be defeated, and everyone knew this.But if Bai Sheng joined, causing the gods to help from the back of the Jin Kingdom, I'm afraid the defeat of the Liao Kingdom would be even worse.

It doesn't matter if the Liao Kingdom's defeat is worse, after all, it is a defeat whether it is miserable or not, but Bai Sheng is his own savior, and it is a pity to risk his life for the fate of the Liao Kingdom.

So from the point of view of protecting his benefactor, he is not even willing to let Bai Sheng go to Yanjing. Can Guanyin Bodhisattva be offended at will?There must be consequences to this matter.

Even though Bai Sheng said that no one will die in life since ancient times, but I, Xiao Long, hope you can live.

It's just that this kind of thinking cannot be said, Bai Sheng's intention to help the Liao Kingdom is determined, and even the gods of Buddhism and Taoism cannot be brought back, so what is he?How can an envoy of the Liao Kingdom who was rescued by Bai Sheng be persuaded?

Since you know you can't be persuaded, why bother?All he had to do was keep this worry in his heart, and sacrifice his life for Bai Sheng at any time. Even if he couldn't stop the gods from punishing Bai Sheng, at worst, he died in front of Bai Sheng, which would be regarded as repaying the grace of saving his life.

Under such circumstances, how could he think that taking Bai Sheng back was slapping Yelu Dashi in the face?For Bai Sheng, this is going to the abyss of danger, to the brink of extinction!What is there to be proud of when you slap someone in the face in such a tragic way?

At the same time, on the southern wall of Yanjing City, Yelu Dashi was looking to the south, "Master, I really want to hear someone shouting from the south, did you hear that?"

Ouyang Muye shook his head and said: "I didn't hear." Then he said with emotion: "I used to think that we martial arts practitioners would not be blinded and deaf when they got old. Who knew it was the same, but the degeneration was a little slower than ordinary people. , if you hear the long whistle, it means that the teacher's ears have begun to become deaf."

"How could it be?" Yelu Dashi hurriedly humbled, not being humble is tantamount to admitting that his hearing is better than his master, so he quickly smoothed things over: "Maybe it's my disciple's hallucination, Xiao Long and the others should have already protruded and surrounded, and Jizhou is to the south In the world, it is impossible for someone to make a long howl so far away and still reach Yanjing. And if the howl is in the camp of the Jin soldiers, but there is no disturbance in the Jin camp, well, it really is the disciples illusion"

Now the city of Yanjing is surrounded by golden soldiers on two and a half sides, only the western and southern parts are not surrounded because of the mountains. Xiao Long and his party broke out from the southern mountainous area.

At this time, the main force of the Liao Kingdom had retreated to the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and the commander of the Liao Army, Wu Yanguang, was also in Yanjing City at the moment, but Wu Yanguang was in charge of the defense of the entire capital, while his subordinate He Chongbao was in charge of defending the entire capital. For the defense in the east of the city, Qiong Yao Nayan was in charge of the defense in the north. Although Yelu Dashi was not under Wu Yanguang's jurisdiction, he could not be idle, and was assigned by Emperor Tianzuo to be in charge of the defense in the south of the city.

Therefore, when Xiao Long left the city from the south of the city, he had given him some cooperation, which attracted the attention of most of the golden soldiers, and Xiao Long was able to sneak into the forest.

At this moment, he is sure that he heard a long howl coming from the south, but he also thinks that there is nothing wrong with the analysis he just made. Even if there are top experts in the world, how can the howl be heard from Jizhou to Yanzhou? Beijing so far away?So he would rather he had an illusion, otherwise there would be no way to explain this matter.

In order not to embarrass the master, he continued to change the subject: "It's ridiculous that Xiao Long wants to move the soldiers of the Song State, even if the soldiers of the Song State are moved by him, so what? Don't look at the soldiers of our Daliao. Ten times more elite than his Song soldiers!"

Just last autumn, he went to Bianjing once, when Song Dynasty sent [-] imperial troops to follow Huang Chang to take over Jiankang Mansion.When the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty went out to fight, he mixed among the people watching the excitement along the street, and witnessed with his own eyes what the so-called Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty looked like. Can such an army fight?What a joke.

Chapter 943 Which Pot Can't Be Opened and Lifted

It cannot be blamed that Yelu Dashi looked down on the army of the Song Dynasty. The army of the Song Dynasty has been deteriorating since the death of Di Qing, the god of war. city.Except for civil wars, the army created by the farming nation can only defend the city.

If they went out of the city, the Song Army could not defeat the Liao Kingdom, the Xixia Kingdom, and of course the later Jin Kingdom and Mongolia. Only Yue Fei's Yue Family Army was a special existence, but it was disbanded by Zhao Gou.

The achievements in recent decades have been lackluster, not to mention that what Yelu Dashi witnessed last year happened to be the [-] old, weak, sick and disabled selected by Gao Lian from the forbidden army?

Gao Qiu's original intention was to cheat Huang Shang together with Tong Guan, but he didn't expect to raise the ambition of the Liao people in a disguised form.

At this moment in Yanjing, Yelu Dashi berated Song Jun just to change the topic, but Ouyang Muye unexpectedly put forward a different opinion on this topic: "Since Song Jun is so weak, then the Song Jun is so weak a few days ago. How did Xixia's big victory come about?"

For Yelu Dashi, this question was extremely acute, and it seemed like which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted, but who asked him to talk about the weakness of the Song Army first?

It's like after the United States fought a Gulf War in later generations, military experts in China have been studying it one after another. As the senior military leader of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi could not have made a detailed assessment of the Song Xia War, but after some investigations After research, it was found that the result of the Song Xia War had nothing to do with the Song army.

Facts have shown that the battle between Song and Xia was almost a one-man war from beginning to end, and it was also a one-man victory.The person who won the victory was exactly the one he was least willing to mention, and this person was Bai Sheng.

The reason why he turned against Fa Xiaolong was actually because of Bai Sheng.Because Xiao Long is an official of the Northern Privy Council of the Liao Kingdom, he is also studying the strengths and weaknesses of the two sides in the Song and Xia Wars. The question is, do you know why Xixia lost to Song?

Of course Yelu Dashi knew why Xixia lost to Song, but he didn't want to say, why?You don't want to be my brother-in-law, Yelu Dashi, but show off to me with your brother-in-law?

Of course, he is too ashamed to say this, so he can only keep this sadness in his heart, and stay away from this chattering little boy, out of sight and out of mind, when he sees Xiao Long, he will think of Bai Sheng's hatred of seizing love with a knife, And at this moment of national crisis, he is more concerned about the future of the Khitan clan, and he doesn't care about the love of his children.

So when his master Ouyang Muye also didn't open which pot and lifted which pot, he was silent. Can it be said that Xixia is weaker than Song Dynasty?If he really said that, he might not be able to fool even a three-year-old child, let alone his master Ouyang Muye?

Of course, he also knew that Ouyang Muye and Xiao Long were different, and their starting point for asking this question must be different.

Because of his father Ouyang Chun, Ouyang Muye has always been unwilling to do things for the Liao Kingdom himself, so he doesn't know much about the wars between these countries. It's just that everyone knows that Xixia was defeated by the Song Dynasty. That's why he asked this question.Of course he didn't know what the inside story of the Song Xia War was like.

Seeing that his apprentice didn't answer, Ouyang Muye thought he had hit his apprentice's mistake, so he said more earnestly: "So, we can't underestimate any country or nation. Great Song has its shortcomings, but he must have his own. Strengths, if you blindly underestimate them, you will suffer in the future."

Yelu Dashi couldn't argue with a hundred words, so he could only accept the teacher's teaching silently, not to mention that what the teacher said was a universal truth, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Ouyang Muye supports the harmony between Song and Liao, and this is also because of his father Ouyang Chun. Back then, his father, Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, and the Five Rats of Xingkong Island were good friends who did not fight or deal with each other, even though they lived in different countries , but after all, there is a sense of friendship, and a war between Song and Liao is something they don't want to see.

Ouyang Chun's attitude even affected his great apprentice Xiao Yuanshan. If Xiao Yuanshan hadn't treated the relationship between Song and Liao with such an attitude, he wouldn't have been ambushed by Shaolin Xuanci and others outside Yanmen Pass. Don't kill until the end.If he used his killing move against the great Song martial arts master as soon as he came up, Xiao Feng's mother would not die.

Even Xiao Yuanshan, who was born in a descendant of the Liao Dynasty, was influenced by Ouyang Chun, let alone Ouyang Muye, Ouyang Chun's youngest son?Ouyang Muye really didn't want to see Yelu Dashi hostile to the people of Song, that's why he secretly said such a sentence for Song.

It's just that even if he is Yelu Dashi's master, it's hard to say too much. After all, the apprentice is already an adult, and he is in such a high position as the king of the South Courtyard. As a master, he can only speak so much.

"Okay, it's almost dawn, let's go back and have a rest."

As the defender of the city, it is very important to prevent the Jin soldiers from touching the city at night, so Yelu Dashi abides by his duties and personally patrols the city every night to prevent the Jin Kingdom from sending martial arts figures to launch a sneak attack.

In contrast, in the daytime, nothing will happen. If the golden soldiers want to attack the city during the daytime, as long as they come out of the camp with ladders or other siege equipment, they can be seen from the top of the city. That is a real offensive and defensive battle. There is no opportunism at all.

At dawn, the master and apprentice went down to the city, Ouyang Muye went home to rest, but Yelu Dashi couldn't go back to his south courtyard, he had to go to the early court before he could rest.

Speaking of the early dynasty system of the Liao State, it was once more formal than the Song State, because the Liao State was established more than 50 years earlier than the Song State, and was willing to absorb Confucian culture.

But today, the early dynasty system of the Liao Kingdom has basically been abolished.Now that the 40 troops of the Jin Kingdom are approaching the city, the courtiers have long been panic-stricken, and most of them are busy transferring their property. Some are already considering entrusting their connections to go to the powerful and powerful of the Jin Kingdom, so that they can be alone when the Liao Kingdom perishes.

From ancient times to the present, in countries that are about to perish, most people in the power class are like this.

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi certainly knew what these courtiers thought, but he couldn't care less about restraining these people now. He only needs to do one thing now, and that is to guard Yanjing and the surrounding Youyun Sixteen state.Even the sixteen prefectures of Youyun can't be defended, but Yanjing must be defended. Once Yanjing is broken, the Liao Kingdom will fall.

Under such circumstances, he does not need these self-pocketed literati to go to the court. Apart from crying and waiting for the court to retreat, these people will not help the current situation at all. Then you can lose sight of your eyes and mind.

Therefore, the current early court only requires the military chief to participate routinely.Yelu Dashi was also required to participate. After Ouyang Muye left, Yelu Dashi led a dozen guards to the palace.

The imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom was originally located in the capital, Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.Yanjing, also known as Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom, was one of the four accompanying capitals of the Liao Kingdom. There was no imperial palace built here, and there was only a temporary palace here.

Just outside the palace, I heard Emperor Tianzuo furious inside, "Wu Yanguang, it's been a long time since I handed over the military power to you? Have you ever won a victory for me?"

Chapter 944 The Liao Army's Final Move

The fathers of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Dashi were cousins.In terms of seniority, Yelu Dashi wants to call Emperor Tianzuo an uncle.It stands to reason that the relationship between the uncle and nephew should be very good, but this is not the case.

Yelu Dashi is not only the top Khitan master, he is also a Jinshi of the Daliao Kingdom, a man with both civil and military skills.

It is a matter of course in the Song and Liao Dynasties that one must step into an official career and join the political circle after becoming a Jinshi. Therefore, Yelu Dashi is not only a military chief, but also has a great say in government affairs.

At the beginning, Wanyan Aguda quietly established the Kingdom of Jin, and then blew the horn to counterattack the Liao Kingdom. Emperor Tianzuo immediately recalled Yelu Dashi, who was sent to the Song Dynasty, and entrusted him with the important task of leading troops to quell the Jurchen rebellion. However, the corruption of the Liao Kingdom has reached the point of dying. Even the army has been corrupted to such an extent that there is no fighting power to speak of?

What's more, the army of the Liao Kingdom is also dominated by cavalry, and the Jurchen, who has always been responsible for providing horses to the Liao Kingdom, has completely opposed the Liao Dynasty and directly pinched the source of the Liao Kingdom's war horses. beat?
