The so-called imperial decree is naturally the emperor's decree, but the Emperor of Daliao has disappeared for half a year and there is no news at all, so where can the imperial decree come from?
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yelu Dashi stood up, looked at the soldiers outside, and shouted angrily. www ""
"Sir, being humble is no nonsense, there is really an imperial edict!" the soldier reporting the news from outside said hurriedly.
Yelu Dashi was stunned and said: "How do you know there is really an imperial edict?"
The soldier said: "Sir, the one who came to report is Mr. Xiao Fengxian of the Privy Council! I had met Mr. Xiao before when I went to Beijing with you to report my work."
Yelu Dashi stayed there, while Yelu Chun, Xiao Qian and Guo Yaoshi frowned. Especially Yelu Chun, his face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water. He had endured it for so long and contacted so many ministers.
I thought it was okay
After he became the emperor, Yelu Yanxi would naturally become the Supreme Emperor. Even if Yelu Yanxi returned, it would be impossible to take away his throne. But now that Yelu Yanxi's imperial edict came, things changed.
Yelu Dashi slowly showed a smile. He was not willing to accept Yelu Chun as emperor in the first place. He just had no choice but to do so. So many ministers supported Yelu Chun. Even if he did not agree, he would not be able to stop Yelu Chun from ascending the throne. Now
Well, now that the imperial edict has come, it means there is news about the Emperor of Liao. In this case, Yelu Chun naturally cannot be the emperor.
"Everyone, how can we go together to welcome the imperial edict?" Yelu Dashi said with a smile.
"Lord Yelu, I think this imperial edict may not be true?" Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Resentment Army, gritted his teeth.
"Master Xiao Fengxian is the chief officer of the Privy Council. Since he is here, the imperial edict will not be wrong. He also went to the west with your majesty at the beginning. Now that he is back, he should bring the real imperial edict." Yelu Dashi said.
"It's also possible that Mr. Xiao is pretending to pass on the imperial edict!" Yaoshi Guo said.
"We will know the truth after we go see him." Yelu Dashi said with a smile.
At that moment, Yelu Dashi strode outside. Yelu Chun and the other three looked at each other, feeling extremely depressed. In the end, the three of them had to stand up and walk outside.
Yelu Dashi has arrived at the main hall of the mansion. At this moment, a middle-aged man is standing here. He is wearing the clothes of a Khitan nobleman and looks extraordinary. This man is Xiao Fengxian, the privy envoy of the Liao Kingdom. At the time, Shi Xiu and Lu Zhishen
I once saw him in Zhongjing, and now he is indeed here.
Yelu Dashi was overjoyed when he saw that it was indeed Xiao Fengxian. He strode up, bent down and saluted, with an excited expression on his face, and said, "Master Xiao, long time no see!"
Xiao Fengxian was originally looking at the scenery of Yelu Dashi's mansion. After hearing Yelu Dashi's words, he turned around and laughed loudly: "Master Yelu, we haven't seen you for a long time! Hey, His Highness King Jin, Xiao Qian, Pharmacist Guo,
Why are you all here?"
At first he only saw Yelu Dashi, but when he saw Yelu Chun and others, he was also very shocked. These people are among the highest-ranking officials in Yanjing City, why are they all concentrated here? Is it possible that they are all concentrated here?
What important matter do these people want to discuss?
"Haha, we were discussing how to deal with the Jurchens. When we heard that the Privy Councilor was coming, we hurriedly came out to greet him." Yelu Chun said with a haha.
Xiao Fengxian had some doubts in his heart, and let others pay it off. As an idle prince, Yelu Chun had no real power except for his excellent reputation. Why did he come here to discuss with Yelu Dashi and others about dealing with the Jurchens?
The way he looked at Yelu Chun changed immediately. Yelu Chun felt that his back was sweating, and he was also thinking about how to deal with the emperor's return.
Love. If the emperor really returns and knows that he is trying to ascend the throne as emperor, then the emperor will never let him go. Thinking of this, he felt nervous and scared. Xiao Qian and Guo Yaoshi also looked very ugly.
The two of them tried to establish a new emperor and control the entire Liao Kingdom with the help of the new emperor. Now that the real emperor has returned, he would never let them go if he knew about this.
However, this was not the time for Xiao Feng to worry about this matter first. When he saw everyone here, he thought it would be best to read out the imperial edict to them, so as not to have to go to several houses. He stood here, feeling in his heart
He was proud and filled with emotion. When he followed the emperor to escape from Beijing, he entered the barren mountains and forests of the west and lived a life like a savage. It can be said that he suffered a lot. Now that he has finally returned, the Liao Kingdom is still the emperor after all.
And his world, Xiao Fengxian.
"Your Majesty, is he okay?" At this moment, Yelu Dashi came up and asked.
"His Majesty is protected by heaven and man, and naturally everything is safe! He is very satisfied with you and often praises you. You have made great contributions to guarding Yanjing. When His Majesty returns, he will definitely reward you well." Xiao Fengxian said with a smile.
Yelu Dashi shook his head slightly, thinking that it was not that they had merit, but that the Jurchens were entangled by the Han people in Liangshan and were unable to go south. In March, they formed a large army to try to regain Zhongjing, but their army was unable to move southward.
They were vulnerable, so Wanyan Zongwang led tens of thousands of people and completely defeated them without any need to fight.
Yelu Chun and the others were extremely disappointed when they heard that Yelu Yanxi was safe. Just now, Yelu Chun hoped that what Xiao Fengxian had brought was Yelu Yanxi's "edict". If that was the case, he would still have a chance to ascend the throne. But now, I'm afraid,
The chances are slim.
"You all kneel down to receive the order!" Xiao Feng said first.
Yelu Dashi and others knelt down. Xiao Feng coughed a few times first, moistened his throat, and then said: "By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict that we will return to Yanjing soon after hunting in the mountains. You should do your best.
, just waiting for the few people to return, raise a heavy army, and restore all the land..."
The imperial edict was eloquent and contained hundreds of words. It said that the emperor was going to lead the army to regain the country. After listening to the imperial edict, Yelu Dashi and others looked a little surprised. The current emperor of Liao was timid and incompetent, and was extremely afraid of the Jurchens. How could he talk about regaining it now?
What about the country?
When the Jurchens first launched their army, Yelu Yanxi personally led an army of 700,000 to try to annihilate the Jurchens. However, these 700,000 troops were defeated by Wanyan Agu's 20,000 troops. Since then, Yelu Yanxi has never been the same again.
explain
Regarding the war with the Jurchens, Yelu Yanxi would become furious as soon as the following ministers mentioned the topic of war. Many ministers were demoted by Yelu Yanxi for discussing state affairs, and even some stubborn ones were demoted by Yelu Yanxi.
Yelu Yanxi executed him directly.
Now Yelu Yanxi actually said that he would go to war with the Jurchens, no wonder everyone was surprised.
Yelu Dashi frowned. He had just reached an agreement to cooperate with Wanyan Aguda, and now the emperor was going to war again. He didn't know what to do for a while.
"Where is Your Majesty now?" Yelu Chun asked hurriedly as the four of them stood up.
"Your Majesty is not far from Xijing. He will stay in Xijing for a while, and then he will go to Yanjing City." Xiao Fengxian said.
"What are you doing in Xijing?" Yelu Dashi asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty has led hundreds of thousands of troops here to replenish food and grass in Xijing. Now only Xijing still has food and grass, and there is no food and grass in other places." Xiao Fengxian said.
"Hundreds of thousands of troops? Did your Majesty bring all the 200,000 troops from the west?" Xiao Qian said.
"Of course, all the 200,000 troops from the West will follow Your Majesty! In addition to these, there are also the 200,000 troops from the Xixia people and 50,000 Mongolian cavalry!" Xiao Fengxian said.
"What? So many troops?" Everyone was surprised. They originally thought it was just 200,000 defeated troops from the West, but who knew that there were actually Xixia troops and Mongolian barbarians.
Hearing this, Yelu Chun no longer had any hope of ascending the throne as emperor, and Yelu Dashi became worried about the future of cooperation with the Jurchens. He had already negotiated with the Jurchens, and he was confident of convincing Xiao Qian and Guo
Medicine master and others, even if Yelv Chun succeeds to the throne, he believes that these people will not
Will oppose his opinion. But now that the emperor has returned and brought so many troops, I am afraid that it is impossible for the emperor to cooperate with the Jurchens. Moreover, now he is also hesitant about whether to cooperate with the Jurchens. Now there are so many
There are too many troops, and it is no longer necessary to cooperate with the Jurchens?
However, no matter what, he felt that he needed to think carefully. Since the Liangshan Han people joined the northern war, the situation in the north has become more and more complex. There are both Jurchens and Han people, both of whom are extremely powerful. Now the emperor has
The Xixia people and the Mongols brought it, and things would become even more complicated. If they didn't think carefully and made the slightest mistake, the Liao Kingdom would be in a state of catastrophe, and the Khitan people might not have any bright future.
******
In Xijing of the Liao Kingdom, which is now Datong, there were military camps everywhere outside the city, and there were soldiers everywhere, as densely packed as endless ants.
Most of these soldiers are cavalry. Whether they are Liao people, Xixia people or Mongols, the most important thing they lack is war horses. The Liao people occupied the land of Inner Mongolia in later generations, and the Mongols occupied the land of Outer Mongolia in later generations.
The Xixia people occupy the Hetao area, which are famous horse-producing areas. War horses are just consumables for them, unlike the Song Dynasty, which regarded war horses as precious.
Hundreds of thousands of cavalry were making a noise. At this moment, an extremely luxuriously dressed army suddenly appeared in the distance. This army was surrounded by a canopy. Under the canopy was a middle-aged man with some gray hair.
He is an extraordinary person, extremely majestic and majestic.
It's just that there was an unconcealable frivolity in his eyes, and there were countless beauties around him. The soldiers in the distance couldn't help but kneel down when they saw the scene here. The difference from here is that most of the other soldiers were sallow and thin.
It looked like they had been hungry for a long time.
The Liao Kingdom's current strength has been greatly reduced, and it has lost most of its territory and population. The Liao Kingdom's food reserves can no longer meet the needs of so many soldiers. Although Datong still has some food reserves, it may not be able to support it for a long time.
Seeing Yelu Yanxi leaving, some Liao soldiers spat on the ground and said: "Damn the emperor, he is rich and well-dressed, and we can't have enough to eat every day! Now we have to fight for him, we are really unwilling!"
"
A soldier next to him hurriedly covered his mouth and said: "Be careful, if someone hears it, you will be finished, and your whole family will be finished! Your Majesty has organized so many troops this time, should he be able to defeat the Jurchens?"
The soldier from before pushed the man away and sneered: "The million-strong army back then was defeated by the Jurchens. How many troops there are now, how can they be the opponents of the Jurchens?"
The morale of the Liao army is low. In fact, not only one soldier is complaining, but almost all the soldiers are complaining. However, they have not yet developed to the level of mutiny. They are just resentful in their hearts. Please go to "" to watch the first release without ads.
