Chapter 260: There Was a Duke of Zhou’s Exorcism (5)
"Your Highness, when it comes to Tokyo, just send a good general to go there. Why bother to take risks yourself?" Xiao Tao Su Wo advised on behalf of everyone.
Xiao Delidi, Yelu Dabeinu, Yelu Huaxi, Xiao Chengqian, Yelu Musician and others all nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yixue put it even more bluntly: "Your Highness, now that Nanjing has been settled, people's hearts are unpredictable. Once you lead your troops to leave the capital and go to Tokyo, something may happen! By then, I'm afraid no one will be able to argue."
Yelu Dashi let out a long sigh, understanding the key point in his heart.
The murder of Emperor Tianzuo in Yahe went through several changes. First, it was blamed on brothers Yelu Asi and Xiao Fengxian, and then it was blamed on Yelu Yujian and Yelu Zhangnu.
Yelu Dashi seems to have been exonerated. But everyone who cares knows that Yelu Dashi was once Yelu Yujian's confidant and think tank. Regarding the regicide, if Yelu Dashi says that he has no knowledge of it, who will believe it?
If Yelu Dashi leaves Nanjing, and someone with ulterior motives takes control of Emperor Tianxi and Crown Prince Jin, and uses their names to declare Yelu Dashi as the mastermind behind Yahe's regicide, then he will be completely ruined.
All the hard work was completely wasted.
Yelu Dashi hoarsely said in a deep voice: "I know all this. But we must recover Tokyo, and we must do it quickly. The dragon in the northwest has probably mobilized troops and is marching towards the Xianbei Mountains. It will attack at any time.
Entering Shangjing Road. Time waits for no one."
Speaking of this, his voice became louder and louder.
"Tokyo is so important. Once it is lost, the Jurchens, Tieli and Shiwei people in the Northeast will be unscrupulous and may become evil wolves that come back to bite us. We must regain Tokyo and then show off our troops on the Tokyo Road to intimidate and coerce
All the tribes in the Northeast, let them not dare to act rashly."
Xiao Taosuo became anxious and said sternly: "We all know what you said. But you also know what is going on in Nanjing now. If something goes wrong, you will be ruined and die without a burial place!"
Yelu Dashi closed his eyes, with pain on his face. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and replied firmly: "Everything I have done is for the rejuvenation of Liao. As long as Daliao can clear out evil and rectify it, it will be able to revive again."
Rise up, my personal honor and disgrace are nothing!"
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears.
Since the reign of the late Emperor Daozong, Daliao has lost its glory. The heroes who once dominated the world have gradually declined. However, the blood in the hearts of many Khitan and Xi people has not gone cold. They are eager to eradicate evil spirits, reform laws and structures, and make Daliao strong again.
To this end, they worked hard one after another. Xiao Sengge, Xiao Zhonggong, Yelu Dilie, Xiao Jinxian and many other lofty ideals were their role models.
Xiao Tao Su Wo couldn't help shouting to the sky, with tears streaming down his face. The rest of the people also had red eyes and were crying bitterly.
Yelu Dashi, King of the Liang Dynasty of the Liao Dynasty, the marshal of the military and horse capital of the world, and the governor of the Liao Xing Army, left Nanjing with 30,000 Liao Xing Army and marched towards Tokyo.
The 30,000 Liao Xing Army was composed of the 30,000 Pishi and Gong Branch troops from the Yahe Incident, the 20,000 soldiers and horses left after several bloody battles, and an additional 10,000 soldiers and horses drawn from other Khitan tribes.
It is now Yelu Dashi's basic army and is firmly in his hands.
"Your Highness, how should we fight in Tokyo this time?" Lieutenant General Yelu Musician asked.
"I have already sent someone to contact Xiao Junshi (Xiao Helu), the Anyuan Jiedu envoy in Tongzhou (Siping City). He is a confidant of Lanling County Prince (Xiao Wuna) and the brother of Xiao Sengge. Yeluyu
He is responsible for half of the credit for pacifying the Northeast. Now that he has left Tongzhou, he actually controls Tong, Xian, An, Rong, Wei, Xin, Xiang and other prefectures, as well as Huanglong Prefecture."
"He has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, as well as Jurchen Huanglong, Yidian, Huiba and other tribes. More importantly, he has a high prestige in Tokyo Dao, whether it is Jurchen, Shiwei or Tieli people, whether it is the Khitan army or
Bo
The navy, upon hearing his orders, all obeyed. However, Yelu Yu saw that he was greedy for merit and deliberately suppressed him. In the Central Plains, Yelu Asi and other traitorous parties also worried that he was Xiao Gong's confidant. Therefore, the more his achievements, the greater his achievements, and the more his officials did.
The smaller.”
Yelu Dashi said confidently: "When I go to Tokyo this time, I want to join hands with him to reorganize the Tokyo Road and make it the cornerstone of our Daliao."
Musician Yelu said uneasily at the side: "Your Highness, what if something happens in Nanjing City?"
Yelu Dashi sneered a few times and his eyes became extremely sharp.
"I just want to take this opportunity to let those people with evil intentions come out. Why did our country, the Liao Dynasty, decline so much? First, the emperor is incompetent and treacherous ministers are in power; second, the ministers have too much power, making the land full of careerists. If we can't get rid of them all,
With these two major drawbacks, how can we revive Daliao?"
Musician Yelu opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
He finally understood the truth of what his husband had planned over the past two years.
First, with the help of Yelu Yujian, the traitors led by brothers Yelu Asi and Xiao Fengxian were eradicated in Yahe River. At the same time, Emperor Tianzuo, his huge harem, and the princes and princesses were killed in the war.
At that time, Yelu Musician thought this was an unexpected move because he failed to control the military chaos. Now it seems that it played into the plans of Yelu Yujian and his husband.
Yelu Yujian needed Emperor Tianzuo and other princes to die so that he could support King Yelu Ao and Lu We of Jin as the master and exercise the power of Zhou Gong Huo Guang.
My husband hated Emperor Tian Zuo for his immorality, extravagance, favoring traitors, and persecuting loyal people. Maybe he was secretly persuading Yelu Yujian, who would not stop doing anything, and simply killed Emperor Tian Zuo and framed the blame on him.
Yeluasi and the Jurchens.
Although something went wrong in the middle, and everyone was charged with regicide, the main goal was achieved.
Next, his husband used Yelu Zhangnu to get rid of Yelu Yujian.
Presumably when Brother Xiao Seng and others were killed, Yelu Yujian, who had betrayed his comrades, was already on his husband's must-kill list.
The subsequent light troops entering Nanjing, defeating Xiao Puxiannu's faction, and the merger of the two capitals are not worth mentioning.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Master Yelu's mind, and he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, was it you who arranged the murder of Xiao Baoxian by Gao Yongchang in Tokyo?"
Yelu Dashi shook his head: "How can I have such magical powers? I can predict everything in advance. I don't know Gao Yongchang at all. I only know that he once fought under the command of Duke Xiao (Xiao Wuna) and was very brave. He was very brave in the Bohai Sea.
He has a high prestige among people. I came in contact with Xiao Bao first. Although he is Xiao Fengxian's brother, he is a completely different person and is a loyal and good man."
Having said this, Yelu Dashi sighed, "It's true that after several changes, many people have lost confidence in the future of the Liao Dynasty and lost awe of the power of the imperial court. With Gao Yongchang in Tokyo, maybe there will be a meeting in Xijing
If there is low Yongchang, there will be Pingyongchang in Zhongjing.”
"With internal and external troubles, time waits for no one!"
Having said this, Yelu Dashi whipped his horse whip fiercely, and his mount neighed loudly and rushed forward, carrying him at a gallop against the rising sun. This chapter has been completed!
