Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Not only should I reward him heavily, but I should also ask him privately if he is willing to do things for our Liao Kingdom. If not, we can choose a daughter to marry him and ask him to be a son-in-law!It's a pity that my most beautiful daughter has already married a Song Dynasty man named Bai Sheng, and I don't know if other daughters can be in the eyes of this hero.

Thinking of this, he asked Wu Yanguang and Yelu Dashi, "Do you two gentlemen know who the commander-in-chief of the Song Army is?"

Wu Yanguang was puzzled and confused amidst shame and shock.I am ashamed that I am not as clear as the emperor, so that I was slapped in the face on the spot. The shock is of course that the internal strength of this speaker in the Song army is far superior to him. When did the Song Dynasty come out with such a master?

In the past year, he has devoted himself to resisting the crazy attacks of the Jin people, so he knows little about the wars in the surrounding countries, and even less about the anecdotes in the martial arts world. Hearing the emperor's question at this moment, He suddenly woke up from his confusion, and said in shame: "The end general will not know."

Yelu Dashi originally suspected that the person who came was Bai Sheng, not only because he had seen Bai Sheng before, heard the tone of Bai Sheng's speech, and had some impression of Bai Sheng's accent, but also because he knew that Bai Sheng was the vanguard officer of the Song Dynasty's Western Expedition Army, the vanguard Guan was originally the person who led the army and walked at the forefront. From these two aspects, he should be Bai Sheng.

But there is still a doubt about this matter, that is, didn't Bai Sheng die on the empty island?And even if Bai Sheng didn't die, he certainly didn't have such high martial arts. If Bai Sheng had such high internal strength back then, why would he hide under the pool to escape the siege of Jin people?

And he would not believe that Bai Sheng didn't die in the empty island, and got some kind of adventure by a blessing in disguise, so that his skills soared. to this extent?If there is such a thing in the world, then everyone doesn't need to practice martial arts anymore, and they can all go looking for adventures.

However, thinking of the hatred between the people of Jin and Bai Sheng, it is very consistent with the statement of the Song general at the moment. Indeed, it seems that there is only one Bai Sheng in Song who is the enemy of Jin. What reason do other Song people have to hate each other like this? Jurchens?

For a while, he thought it was Bai Sheng who came, and for a while he thought it was not. When Emperor Tianzuo asked, he was not sure who it was, so he could only answer like Wu Yanguang, "Nephew doesn't know." .”

How could Emperor Tianzuo be satisfied with such an answer?Said: "You two can't do this. You don't understand that there are heroes in the Song Dynasty. What if one day this person leads the Song army to make things difficult for me? Don't the commanders of your two armies understand?" Can you know yourself and the enemy and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles?"

Yelu Dashi and Wu Yanguang were speechless, each lowered their heads in shame, and even the other four generals felt ashamed.

Emperor Tianzuo was still interested, and said: "You have also heard, how heroic the words of the coach of the Song State are? Why don't we have such a heroic man in the Daliao Kingdom? Why can't you say such domineering words?"

Emperor Tianzuo's encouragement is the phenomenon of "other people's children" in later generations. Chinese parents in later generations always like to use this method to motivate their children. They always call "other people's children". The advantages of exaggerating, but turning a blind eye to the shortcomings of other children, this kind of education has made generations of young men and women hate, but when the young men and women grow up and have children, they also start to praise other children in front of their own children.

Undoubtedly, even in the era of the coexistence of Song, Liao, Jin and Xia, the education method of "other people's children" will lead to rebellious psychology of "own children". What's the use of talking about arrogance?"

Yelu Guozhen's father and Yelu Dashi's father are both Emperor Tianzuo's cousins, but when it comes to blood relationship, Yelu Guozhen is closer than Yelu Dashi, because Yelu Dashi's grandfather and Tianzuo's father Yelu Jun They are brothers, and Yelu Guozhen's grandfather is Yelu Jun.

So don't look at Yelu Guozhen's essays and martial arts as being inferior to Yelu Dashi, and his status in the officialdom of the Liao Kingdom is far inferior to Yelu Dashi, but in front of Emperor Tianzuo, Yelu Guozhen can be more open than Yelu Dashi.Of course, Emperor Tianzuo had always loved Yelu Guozhen very much, which was why Yelu Guozhen dared to refute the emperor at this moment.

Emperor Tianzuo was a little unhappy when he heard the words. No matter how much he loves this cousin, but now he encourages all Liao generals, how can you, a newborn calf, be able to refute, and immediately asked with a sullen face: "Guozhen , what do you mean? Speak clearly!"

Yelu Guozhen had Yelu Guozhen's reasoning, and immediately said generously: "Your Majesty, it's not that my nephew doesn't know the martial arts of Song's commander-in-chief, but no matter how good a single person's martial arts is, it can't determine the victory or defeat of thousands of troops. It’s certainly domineering, but it’s not certain whether it can be done.”

Emperor Tianzuo said angrily, "How do you know that others can't do it?"

Yelu Guozhen said: "Because they came with infantry, infantry has no power to resist cavalry, especially heavy cavalry. My nephew often hears people say that the imperial army of the Song Dynasty is weaker than our Khitan soldiers. There are many, how can such infantry withstand the [-] cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin?"

Emperor Tianzuo murmured when he heard the words. Although he was not an expert in war, he still had some basic knowledge. What Yelu Guozhen said was not unreasonable, and he could understand it.

Yelu Dashi took the opportunity to echo: "Your Majesty, Guozhen is right. From my point of view, the number of this Song army is almost the same as that of the Jin army in the south of the city. Therefore, the Song army will not be the opponent of the Jin people. The Song army will be defeated."

Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Dashi spoke out the feelings of the generals, so everyone let go of their courage and joined in one after another.

Amidst the chatter, Emperor Tianzuo pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Since this is the case, why don't we send troops out to cooperate with them inside and outside, and attack them? It will also prevent them from retreating in defeat. Otherwise, once the people of Song Dynasty are defeated because of this defeat Without fighting spirit, who else is willing to support us in the future?"

Chapter 954

Even if he is a military layman, Emperor Tianzuo also understands a truth. If someone comes to help our family fight, how can there be no reason for our own family not to go out and fight together?

But it was this most obvious truth that was opposed by Wu Yanguang and Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi was opposed to it, but he didn't have military power in his hands, so he couldn't compete with Emperor Tianzuo in this matter, so he left the work of offending the emperor to Wu Yanguang.

Wu Yanguang is duty-bound to express his opinion: "Your Majesty, we can't flank!"

Yelu Yanxi was very displeased, and said: "Why not? Could it be that we are here to watch our reinforcements die under Jurchen's iron hooves?"

Wu Yanguang said helplessly: "Your Majesty calm down, although it sounds unreasonable, but the truth is like this, we have no troops!"

Yelu Yanxi became more and more annoyed: "It's a bunch of nonsense. Are the 20 troops you deployed soldiers soldiers? Are the soldiers you commanded when you went to steal the camp tonight? How can you just say there are no soldiers?"

Wu Yanguang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, our 20 soldiers in the formation cannot leave their posts without permission. Except for the 20 soldiers in the east, north and west of the city, the 20 soldiers in the south of the city are already the last defense of Yanjing City." If there is a mistake in the formation, the consequences will be unimaginable! Besides, they can only defeat the enemy in the formation, if they leave the formation, they will not be the opponents of the golden cavalry at all!"

Yelu Yanxi felt that what Wu Yanguang said seemed to have some truth, so his anger calmed down, but there was still one thing he didn't understand, and asked: "Then you said that you are going to steal the camp tonight! Do you need soldiers to steal the camp? Since you You can use soldiers to steal camps, why can't you use them to pinch the Jin army?"

Wu Yanguang said: "Originally, it was the Royal Forest Army who planned to attack the Jin Kingdom barracks. There were only [-] of them, and they were all infantry. life!"

Yelu Yanxi couldn't help being moved when he heard the words, and thought: Are you going to use the Imperial Forest Army even to steal camps and rob villages?It seems that my military strength in Daliao is really stretched.

For a long time, the wealth of the Liao Kingdom has flowed continuously to the monasteries and the aristocratic class, but the treasury and the people have become increasingly impoverished.This is the main reason why Yelu Yanxi refused to repair the Guanyin Temple.

Without money, of course you can't afford to support soldiers, not to mention the fact that corruption is rampant in the Liao army. The Liao army, which claims to be a 300 million army, has 180 million soldiers at all levels who report their false names for empty pay.

So don't look at the fact that the Liao army is said to be 300 million people, but in fact, after several defeats, the current total force is much smaller than that of the Jin Kingdom where all the people are soldiers.

In desperation, Yelu Yanxi still couldn't bear to sit back and watch the Song army be defeated, and said angrily: "Is it possible to watch the Song army die under the iron hooves of the Jin people like this? Dashi Linya, Wu Yanguang, you two can't think of it." Do you have another way?"

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, "I secretly thought that since the Song army dared to attack the Jin army's camp with infantry, there must be some way to deal with the Jurchens. We might as well wait and see. If not, even if the Jin people let them come and fight with us Even if the army joins forces, they can't help us."

A commander who doesn't even have the common sense that infantry will be defeated when encountering cavalry, what good soldiers can he bring out?

Yelu Dashi was duplicity, of course he didn't think that the Song Army would have any way to defeat Jin Guo cavalry.Unless the Song Army can also form a Taiyi Huntian Formation at this time, but this formation is the true inheritance of Zhuge Wuzhi, how can the Song Army master it?Don't even think about this road, the Song army will be defeated, it's just that the commander's martial arts is extremely high, or he can escape the siege of the Jin army.

Of course, he can only think about this in his heart, and he must never say it to the emperor.In fact, what he said is to wait and see, and the result must be that the Song army was defeated and died miserably.

Human beings are such complex and contradictory complexes.

Just now, when Yelu Yanxi praised the Song Army's commander, Yelu Dashi, Yelu Guozhen and all the generals present were the same, wanting to prove that the Song Army was just a bluff, and it was absolutely impossible to defeat the Jin Bing.

But now, when Yelu Yanxi proposed to cooperate with the Song army in combat, he also said that the Song army might have some way for the infantry to deal with the cavalry, and he just asked not to attack the cavalry so as to preserve the strength of the Liao soldiers.

There are two skins in the human mouth, you can turn it over and drop it, but you don't want Song Jun to end well.

After hearing this, Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but feel depressed, and sighed: "Is there really no way to rescue the Song army? If the Song army loses, wouldn't the pressure on our Yanjing be even greater? Could it be that God really wants to destroy me?" Daliao"

Before he could finish speaking, he only heard the sound of horns in the Golden Camp, and then he heard a rumbling sound like thunder coming from the south. It was the hooves of thousands of galloping horses.

"Who says there is no other way? Don't worry, Your Majesty. I promise that Libo is willing to lead the Divine Crossbow Battalion into battle! Support the Song Army to break through the Golden Battalion!" A clear and soft female voice came from bottom to top. A beautiful female general in white and silver armor appeared on the top of the city. It was Yelu Dalibo, Yelu Yanxi's niece.

Although the name of Dalibo seems to be full of national flavor, in fact, the word "Bo" means a radiant comet in ancient times, and "Dali" means beautiful in Khitan language. Dare to use Dali The woman whose name is Bo, among other things, at least looks first-class.

The naming of ancient people is different from that of modern people. Modern people feel super good about themselves. Everyone feels that they are a unique product of good fortune Zhong Shenxiu.In ancient times, this was not acceptable. In ancient times, if you were ugly but used an extremely beautiful name, or mediocre but used a majestic and domineering name, you would die ugly.

The former will be drowned by the spittle stars, and the latter will be beaten to death by others. Anyway, they don't live long.

In the Liao Kingdom, everyone with a head and face knows that Yelu Dalibo's appearance is only slightly inferior to the two national flowers of Khitan, Yelu Guyu and Xiao Feng, ranking third in the Liao Kingdom, which shows how beautiful his appearance is.

In addition to being the niece of Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, Yelu Dalibo has two other identities. One is the younger sister of Yelu Nanxian who is now married to Xixia as the queen. In order to balance her and her sister's rank, Emperor Tianzuo once named her Princess Tianshou; and her other identity is the wife of Xiao Long, the Privy Councilor of the North Privy Council.

Yelv Dalibo knows martial arts, and his martial arts are not weak. When Xiao Feng did not return to the Liao Kingdom for a long time and the "Feng" of the Divine Crossbow camp had no leader, Dalibo temporarily acted as Xiao Feng's position and became the God Crossbow Commander of the battalion.

The Shennu Battalion is a very unique unit of the Liao military. It is neither under the jurisdiction of the North and South Privy Council, nor is it dispatched by the Generalissimo. It is directly responsible to the Liao Emperor. Its main duty is to spy on military intelligence from various countries and , Win over or assassinate politicians and officials in the courts of various countries who are friendly or hostile to Daliao.

The Divine Crossbow Camp was founded and governed by Zhuge Wuzhi, and then passed on to Xiao Feng, and even the new Dalibo within the year.This special armed force is very similar to the spy agencies of later generations. If we compare it to the world-famous spy agencies of later generations, then it is the KGB, CIA, Juntong or Mossadhi of Liao.

So now that Yelu Dalibo is taking the initiative to ask for a battle, even Wu Yanguang and Yelu Dashi have no right to interfere, but they still don't want the armed forces of the Liao Kingdom to intervene in this battle, so Wu Yanguang said: "Princess Tianshou, don't you Do you know how dangerous it is to face the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin? Why are you bothering?"
