The wild geese formed a herringbone formation and flew northward from above the heads of Yelu Dashi and others. From time to time they made clear calls that resounded throughout the sky and the earth.
"Spring came a little early this year," Yelu Musician said from the side. He was not only Yelu Dashi's elder brother, but also his right-hand man.
Yelu Dashi raised his head and looked at the pair of wild geese, his eyes were deep and his expression was blurred.
Where is the home of this group of wild geese? Duck River or Hun Tong River? Where did they go this winter?
It is said that in the extreme south of the Song Dynasty, there is a towering mountain peak that reaches into the clouds. When wild geese fly south, they will not only be blocked when they fly there, but also winter has passed and it is time to return north.
That’s why it’s called Yanhui Peak.
What did they see along the way? The prosperity and growing strength of the Song Dynasty, and the increasing decline of the Liao Dynasty?
The spring of heaven and earth has come. When will the spring of Daliao come? Or will it never come again?
"Dashi, in front of you is the Luanhe River. After crossing the river and over Yanshan Mountain, you will reach Nanjing Road." Yelu Musician pointed to the front and said.
Yelv Dashi raised his eyes and looked ahead. The mountains and rivers looked particularly peaceful in the clear mist.
"We should have come last year." Yelu Dashi said with some reluctance, as silent as water.
"That's right. After His Majesty was killed last year, we should have cut the trouble quickly and quickly moved south to control Nanjing. How could we have led to today's dilemma? Yelu Yu saw that he was too conceited! To put down the chaos in the Northeast, let him think that he...
.”
"Musician, stop talking." Yelu Dashi interrupted his complaint.
Musician Yelu was just angry for a moment and found a secluded place to complain. The two looked ahead and fell into silence again.
Yelu Dashi felt regret and resentment in his heart! Last autumn, with a thunderous blow, the planned plan was full of loopholes, and the result was the current situation where it is difficult to get out of the situation.
First of all, it was Yelu Yujian! The musician was right, he was too conceited. Putting down the chaos in the Northeast made him blindly confident.
The secret that Brother Xiao Seng told Yelu Dashi before he died was later verified by Xiao Wuna before he died of illness. The last black hand in the chaos in the Northeast was the Song Dynasty.
They have a port on the northeast coast, and they can continuously send food, soldiers, armor, cloth and silk, tea, wine, salt and sugar. With these, the rebellious tribal chiefs can continuously recruit from Changbai Mountain, Haixi, Huntongjiang and other areas.
The real girl who is tough and good at fighting.
As long as the Song Dynasty does not give up, ten Yelu Yujian will not be able to put an end to the chaos in the Northeast.
However, Yelu Yu saw that he was calm, and there was something strange about it.
Yelu Dashi couldn't care about this for the time being. He wanted to make the Liao Kingdom rejuvenate and become strong again as soon as possible. According to his plan, the people who killed Emperor Tianzuo and the harem should have colluded with the Jurchen Wanyan tribe and King Tieli.
Yelu Zhangnu. Yelu Yu saw that he was a great hero who killed traitors and helped those in need. When the time comes, he will support the King of Jin to succeed him to the throne, and everything will be fine.
But there was a loophole in some link, or the cunning Yelu Zhangnu noticed something and refused to be the scapegoat. In addition, Xiao Si committed suicide first, which made the skin room and the Gongfenjun complain. Then someone fanned the room and started a fire.
provoked a mutiny.
Under the sudden change, Yelu Yujian and Yelu Dashi had to bite the bullet. Because they couldn't grasp it this time, there would never be such a good opportunity again.
The revised plan was that brothers Yelu Asi and Xiao Fengxian provoked a mutiny by Pishi and Gongfenjun. Yelu Yujian and others tried to help the king, but they were unable to rescue them. By then, they could kill a group of rebel leaders and be able to make a deal.
Someone happened to leak the news. When the rebels were attacking Emperor Tianzuo, Li Yan ran away with two of Emperor Tianzuo's treasure seals; Xiao Tao and Su Wo ran away, and a third of the clan nobles ran away.
What's even more hateful is that the rebels are shouting all over the mountains and plains: "In the name of the King of Wei, punish the traitorous ministers and clear the emperor's side!"
Even if I jump into the Yellow River, I won’t be able to clean myself.
Yelu Dashi advised Yelu Yujian not to stop doing anything, and led his army of cronies to quickly go south to take over Shangjing, Zhongjing and Nanjing. He stayed in Yahe River to deal with the skin room and the palace to divide the army.
However, Yelu Yu saw that he was reluctant to part with the 30,000 skins and the elite troops in the palace. He felt that they and the Northeastern tribes he had conquered could help achieve great things. He spent a lot of effort to win over Li Yan and Xiao Xiao.
Tao Suwo and others fled back to Nanjing and Zhongjing and dealt with it calmly.
Yelu Dashi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
The leather room and palace division army that dare to kill the king are just like the wolf dogs that have eaten people. Who dares to use them?
There are also those eastern tribes who are prone to rebellion. Do you believe that they sincerely surrender?
Yelu Dashi originally asked Yelu Yujian to take the main force of the headquarters southward, while he stayed in Yahe River to instigate and instigate the rebels and Jurchen tribes to kill each other, eliminate those who dared to kill the lord and those with different intentions, and recruited a group of relatively simple people.
, the Jurchens and the Tieli tribe went south just for money.
But everything was disrupted!
Yelu Dashi felt that there was an invisible big net that could always restrain his hands and feet at critical moments. He did not dare to think about it, because once he thought about it, he was worried that he would lose confidence and would no longer be able to persevere.
We can only work hard to move forward and look for every opportunity to revive Daliao.
"Dashi, a formation has begun on the other side." Musician Yelu reminded.
Yelu Dashi put his right hand on his forehead to block the sun so that he could see further.
The Song Dynasty had a telescope that could see extremely far away. I heard that every officer in the army with some status could own one. However, the telescope was extremely strictly controlled, and there were only twenty or thirty telescopes that could flow into the Liao Kingdom through various channels.
Yelu Dashi was originally given to me by Yelu Yujian, but because I didn't want to have bumpy roads and didn't have suitable protective equipment to carry it, it accidentally got broken and became useless.
Where did his mind go again! Yelu Dashi forced himself to concentrate and pay attention to the situation on the other side of the river.
"Have you found out the information on the other side?"
"We found out. The commander-in-chief is the Prince of Qishui County, the Northern Privy Council Envoy Yelu Tiligu, the deputy commander-in-chief is the Jiedushi Envoy Xiao Heshangnu of the Feng Sheng Army, the Grand Master of the Fourth Army Xiao Qian, and the Nanjing Daodu Military Commander Yelv Zhang Jianu
, the staff and army are all under the decree of Xiao Cila. There are 40,000 Khitan soldiers, 40,000 Xi soldiers, 30,000 Han soldiers, 10,000 Bohai navy, and 120,000 elite soldiers."
After Yelu Musician finished speaking, he couldn't help but complain again, "The troops on the other side are three times ours. And they have plenty of food and can afford it. We are short of food and clothing, and we almost couldn't survive last winter."
"I know all this. Our 40,000 people, together with the food and grass, were collected by His Highness the King of Wei with great effort and painstaking efforts. If we were defeated, the Northeastern tribes behind us would still have temporarily stabilized Gongfen and Pishi.
The two armies will be like evil wolves, trying to tear us apart first."
Yelu Dashi replied coldly.
"Furthermore, Nanjing needs to reserve some troops to defend the Song Dynasty, so these 120,000 troops are not all they have. And looking at the formation, the other side also knows its advantage. So there is no rush, and according to the danger of the river,
Fight, prepare to confront us and consume us to death."
"Exhaust us?" Yelu Musician became anxious when he heard this. "When we went to Beijing, we only brought twenty days of food and grass. Now ten days have passed. If the confrontation continues and we run out of food, we will be in trouble."
"It's more than just trouble! Our army is already in a state of panic. Once we run out of food, the whole army will be wiped out." Yelu Dashi replied coldly.
"Then what should we do?" Master Yelu asked anxiously. This chapter has been completed!
