Chapter 126 The Supreme Wisdom is the Interpretation
The chamberlains around Zhao Guangyi got a donkey cart to carry Zhao Guangyi and fled. In order to avoid exposing his identity, he threw the yellow umbrella cover and the ceremonial guards where they were. Brother Yelu Xiu had people carry him to the Chinese army camp of Zhao Guangyi.
, but found that Zhao Kuangyin had disappeared. At this time, there was no one in the central camp of the Song Army to command and dispatch. All the troops and horses lost their command and fought on their own. They suddenly fell into chaos. Some desperately broke out of the encirclement and headed north, trying to fight with Youzhou.
The Song troops gathered under the city, some headed south, and some did not distinguish between east, west and north. They saw that there were few enemy troops in any direction, so they rushed out first.
Under this situation, in order to expand the victory, the Liao army could only pursue and kill various Song armies as much as possible. The Song army under Youzhou City was shocked when they learned that the emperor was ambushed and his life and death were unknown, and the soldiers of the three armies went their separate ways.
Several generals hurriedly discussed and knew that it was impossible to continue to attack the city in this situation. If they were not careful, they would be surrounded by the Liao army and be wiped out under the Youzhou City. They immediately decided to withdraw immediately and retreat all the way south.
At the same time, we are looking for the whereabouts of the Holy One.
At this time, the defenders in Youzhou City had already learned the news, and immediately sent their troops out of the city to join forces with the reinforcements outside the city. The Song army was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of troops flowed away like flowers and water. Compared with the initial overwhelming force, they marched northward.
Not to mention more concessions.
Zhao Guangyi came here full of ambition, but once he failed, he fell into a complete defeat, and the reputation he had worked so hard to build was destroyed in one day.
On the high slopes on the outskirts of Anci City, looking at the troops with clear flags in the distance, I saw that their retreat was quite organized and it was difficult to launch a surprise attack. Brother Yeluxiu, who had not recovered from his serious injury, couldn't help but sit up in the carriage in surprise and asked
: "Which group of people is this? Please report quickly."
The Liao general Liu Zhen, who had just failed in pursuit and returned with a broken army, said with shame: "General, this group of people are from the Song Army Li Jilong's tribe."
"Li Jilong, Li Jilong..."
Brother Yelvxiu repeated it twice, nodded slightly and said: "It is really rare to be defeated but not defeated."
Brother Yelvxiu naturally understood that in such a huge defeat, the soldiers were panicked. Once they embarked on the road to escape, the most difficult thing was not whether the generals could still stay awake, but that they were unable to restrain the defeated soldiers and maintain such a neat military appearance.
To prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity during retreat, not only does he need to be absolutely calm on the battlefield, but his prestige in ordering the three armies and his ability to command and dispatch must also reach a considerable level and gain the absolute support of the soldiers. Here,
Such an effect can only be achieved at a critical moment, and such an opponent is never easy to fight.
Brother Yelvxiu thought for a while and then said: "If we fight against this warrior, we will suffer heavy losses. The Song army has more than 300,000 soldiers coming from the north. Now they are fleeing back to the Song Dynasty. We can abandon this road. There will be many soldiers and horses."
Inflict casualties, send orders, and pursue troops from all directions to move closer to Gu'an and intercept and kill other Song soldiers and horses."
As soon as Brother Yeluxiu finished speaking, another person came to report: "Report, General, the enemy troops of the Song Army Luo Ke retreated to the Xiaoqing River in Gu'an, and suddenly came back to kill them. King Yansi of Wei hurriedly pursued them, and they were halfway across the river.
Defeated, King Wei was hit by an arrow, and he was rushed to Gu'an City for treatment. His life and death are unknown now."
"General Luo Ke! Hehe, there is Li Jilong in front of us, and there is Luo Kedi in Gu'an. There are many famous generals in the Song army. If Zhao Guangyi hadn't prided himself on being brilliant and liked to personally command the battle, I'm afraid we might not have had the great victory at Gaoliang River."
Brother Yelvxiu pondered for a moment and then ordered: "The Song Dynasty brazenly tore up the treaty and invaded Daliao. Now that we are defeated, the Queen Mother must have a decree and will order us to raise troops to go south. She orders all the troops not to fight against Luo Ke. Li Jilong
We must entangle our troops and try our best to kill and injure the Song army to create opportunities for us to invade south."
Brother Yeluxiu only regrets that he is seriously injured now and has difficulty moving, so he cannot compete with Luo and Li. The soldiers and horses under his command who are chasing after him are obviously inferior to these two in terms of military management and planning.
First of all, if they have to bite these two hard bones, it is better to avoid them and inflict heavy losses on the Song army. No matter how brave the general is, he must have troops at his disposal. These 300,000 Song army are all well-trained
Elite soldiers, if you take one more piece, you will definitely create a great opportunity for the next action.
Currently chasing the Song army, Brother Yelvxiu has begun to consider his next move. The Li Jilong in front of him and the Luo Ke enemy in Gu'an believe that in the next battle, in the battle on Song territory,
They will have a chance to meet again. These are two opponents worth fighting, and he will defeat them with his own hands!
The news of the great victory in Youzhou has been reported to Beijing. Xiao Chuo, who was worried about it, felt relieved when he heard the news. The whole city of Shangjing was boiling, and people cheered, including the people in the Han area of Nancheng. This country is
Whether their surname is Zhao or Yelu, whether they fly the Song flag or the Liao flag, it doesn't matter to ordinary people like them. This is the land that gave birth to them. They just hope that they can live in peace and happiness. Now the war will not spread.
When we arrived in Beijing, everyone was as happy as if we were celebrating the New Year.
In a short time, he wisely solved the siege of Youzhou, defeated 300,000 Song troops, and killed the Song emperor, who fled in panic. The life and death of General Yelvxiu Ge was unknown, and his reputation was at the peak of the sky. The streets and alleys were telling his heroic deeds.
He described him as a wise and powerful general who was invincible in battles. He was simply the most famous general in the history of the Liao Kingdom who had never been seen before or since. He was very popular.
"No, General Yelvxiu, he is the first hero of the Yelu clan in Daliao. Youzhou was besieged, and the seven reinforcements were defeated all the way, without winning a single victory. But we, General Yelvxiu, succeeded immediately.
Cheng. Just after killing the Jurchens, Shiwei ran away with his head in his arms, and immediately killed the people of Song Dynasty to their death."
"This time when the general comes back, won't he be rewarded again?"
"Of course, I heard that the Queen Mother wants to confer General Yelvxiu Ge as Greater than Yue. Greater than Yue, he is the first person under the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. He will not be rewarded unless he has made great contributions. After calculation, this is greater than Yue.
This position has been vacant for many years, and now only General Yelvxiu can obtain this official position. This is the highest position above all civil and military officials."
"I remember that our Emperor Taizu of Daliao was worshiped as Yue Yue because of his outstanding military exploits. Later, he received the Zen title of emperor with this post, and then our Daliao Kingdom was established. From then on, it seems that there are still
No one has ever been greater than Yue. What do you mean by Queen Mother? Could it be..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Although General Xiu is also from the royal family, the Queen Mother has a son and has already become the emperor. How is it possible?"
The atmosphere of the Liao Kingdom was even more relaxed than that of the Song Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty's scholars, literati, peddlers and lackeys had a few glasses of wine, and their eyes and ears were hot, they would drag out officials, generals and ministers to chat about important national affairs.
I thought it was strange, but in the Liao Kingdom it was even more casual. We could just talk about crazy things at the wine table, and no one would report it. However, it was speculated that the Queen Mother had the intention to abdicate the throne. After all, she still had some scruples. Someone next to her immediately spoke out to dissuade her.
.
But this man was really a little drunk, and said disapprovingly: "What's wrong? The Yelu family is our Daliao royal family. The current emperor is young, can he sit firmly in this country and control the tigers and wolves of the tribes? Yelu is the only one.
It takes a person like General Xiu Ge. Besides, I didn’t even say that the Queen Mother intended to give in."
"So you mean?"
"The Queen Mother is young and beautiful, and General Yelu is in his prime. The Queen Mother is married to General Yelu because of General Yelu's great achievements. General Yelu serves as his father-in-law to protect the Emperor..."
"I drank too much. I drank too much. Even though Brother Yelvxiu is young, he is very senior. He is the grandson of King Yelv Shilu of the Sui Dynasty and brother of the Taizu clan of Liao Dynasty. Yelvwansi, Yili Jin of Nanyuan
My lord's son, speaking of truth, General Yelvxiu should be the great-grandfather of the current emperor. After all, who is the Queen Mother? You are too far behind in this life."
"How can we have so many stinky rules in Daliao? It's an ancient custom for a son to step into his father's concubine, and for an uncle to marry his niece. It's only in the past few years that we have learned the stinky habits of the Han people."
The more this person talks, the more outrageous he is, but it is not too ridiculous. Who knows if the Queen Mother really means this? She is a beautiful widow in her early twenties. She is the Queen Mother, and she is also a woman. She never thinks about men.
?This man was being persuaded to leave by his friends who were drinking with him. However, as soon as the topic was brought up, all the close friends at each table couldn't help but start talking about it.
The two bartenders staggered out of the restaurant and walked not far. When they looked around, no one was following them. The two of them ducked their necks and braved the cold wind and got into a small alley.
A large house, with a courtyard at the back. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the drunkenness on the two people's faces disappeared. After entering the room and drinking two cups of strong tea, their eyes became clearer.
"Second brother, does this trick work? We, an upright man, can't fight him with swords, guns, swords and halberds. How can we avenge the blood feud of our Bai Gan tribe by just talking?"
The other person narrowed his eyes, took a deep sip of tea, and said with a sinister smile: "Old Qi, don't be dissatisfied. Second brother has been advised by an expert."
Lao Qi snorted and said: "Xiao Chuo has always had great trust in Brother Yelvxiu. This time, it is Brother Yelvxiu who is trying to save the crisis. I'm afraid he won't be able to touch him with some slander."
The second brother smiled proudly and said, "What you said is wrong again. The Han people have an allusion called Zeng's mother doubts her son. It tells that a person with the same name as Zeng Shen, a student of Confucius, killed someone, and someone went to tell him
Zeng's mother said that her son had killed someone. Zeng's mother, of course, didn't believe it, but after a while, someone came and told her that her son had killed someone. When the third person came to tell her, Zeng's mother
He got scared and jumped over the wall to escape.
Hahaha, Lao Qi, if Xiao Chuo trusts Brother Yelvxiu, can he be as good as a mother who trusts her son? One person says she doesn’t believe it, two people say she doesn’t believe it, what if a thousand people and ten thousand people say the same?
Furthermore, if a young boy becomes emperor now, will you, as a member of the Yelu clan, be convinced? Brother Yelu Xiu’s reputation is unrivaled now. As soon as the news spreads, some people will naturally take notice of him.
, no matter how loyal Brother Yeluxiu is, he can't stop a group of people with evil intentions from approaching him. Xiao Chuo has a lot of eyes and ears. Once she hears something, Brother Yeluxiu will be like mud falling into his crotch, not shit.
It’s also shit. Throughout the ages, many loyal ministers and famous generals who could not be defeated by the enemy have been destroyed by this one word. Can’t Brother Yelvxiu fall into a big mess?”
Lao Qi came up to him and whispered: "You also know that Xiao Chuo has many eyes and ears? Do you remember that year when Yelu Xian soldiers trapped the capital? Anyone who talks nonsense, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will...
"
His hand came down heavily and the second brother laughed again: "Old Qi, I said this method is brilliant, and it is brilliant right here. What was the rumor at that time? The rumor was that the late emperor had been seriously injured and died. She
I can try to seduce the morale of the army. But what about this time? We guys just start a show and then don’t show up. Of course there are those who are extremely bored and will take this opportunity.
The rumors become more complete and true as they spread. No matter how angry Xiao Chuo is, she still can’t vent her anger. What are you guys spreading? It’s Brother Yelvxiu who is more powerful than the sky, and it’s me.
How can she kill Daliao's number one hero? Whenever someone kills someone here, Brother Yelusiu will feel guilty. Hey, hey, this dumb guy will suffer the consequences."
The second brother raised Erlang's legs, narrowed his eyes, and his thin eyes flashed with a needle-like light, and said coldly: "Brother Yelvxiu, if you can use it, it will be the sharpest knife for us to take revenge. If Brother Yelvxiu can use it, it will be the sharpest knife for us to take revenge.
Not available, hum
Hum, when the day comes when that bitch Xiao Chuo turns against brother Yelvxiu, the monarch and his ministers, naturally there will be people who can't restrain their loneliness and jump out to cause trouble. I, Bai Ganbu, will bury this bloody feud in the hands of this pair of monarchs and ministers.
I will definitely repay it!"
When the northern wind is blowing cold, Yazhou is still full of lush vegetation and spring scenery.
"The scenery of Zhuya is Shuinan Village, and the people at the foot of the mountain are under the forest door. When the parrots nest, the coconuts will bear seeds, and the bamboos will grow grandsons where the crows crow. There is no market for fish and salt, and there will be wine grains in the year of harvest. The distant guests come to live with quinoa, but they are familiar with it.
Suspected to be born in Taoyuan..."
The towering kapok trees are blooming with flaming flowers, the green trees are whirling, the slender bamboos are tall, the flowers and fruits are clustered in clusters, and the distant rivers are winding and flowing reluctantly into the sea. The fishing sails on the sea are picturesque, and it seems like a fairyland on earth.
Lu Duoxun looked out the window and recited a poem, with a bitter smile on his lips.
Is this really the Land of Peach Blossoms? No, in his heart it is definitely not the case. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of the unchanging scenery after looking at it for a long time. But the mosquitoes and flies that bother you every day, and the hard and difficult life, make you tired every day.
Adding new despair to people's hearts. He was involved in the prince's rebellion and was implicated. His official position and three generations of gifts were taken away, and his whole family was sent to Yazhou. Even if he was amnesty, it would not be within the scope of the transfer. This had already pronounced his "
death penalty".
He had hoped that Zhao Guangyi would remember his hard work in serving the emperor and pardon him, but the memorial he wrote was never followed up. However, after hearing about the changes in personnel in the court, he had already changed beyond recognition. He knew that he would never say anything again in this life.
He will not be able to reach the peak of being a human being and experience the joy of power again, and he will never be able to return to his hometown. He will die here of old age and be buried in a different place.
Lu Duoxun's old eyes couldn't help but moisten. At this moment, the door opened suddenly, and his grandson Lu Youyuan ran in quickly: "Grandpa, grandpa, an old friend is visiting."
"What? An old friend?" Lu Duoxun was surprised. Who would come to see him in such a place where birds don't poop? Who still remembers him now? Lu Duoxun raised his robe and hurried out to greet him.
When I arrived at the door, I realized that I was so carried away and somewhat lost my identity. I quickly stopped, calmed down my emotions, and walked out slowly.
Lu Duoxun was startled when he saw the person coming. He was an old man in black robes and white beard. He looked energetic and strong, but... with Lu Duoxun's ability to recognize and remember people, he believed that he
He had never seen this person before. The old man seemed to know that he was lying when he saw him. He smiled slightly and without saying much, took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it respectfully with both hands.
After all, Lu Duoxun had been a prime minister for a time and had seen a big shot in the world. He was only slightly startled, but did not show any surprise. He glanced at the old man in black robes and white beard, and calmly took the letter.
The courtyard opened. After just one glance, Lu Duoxun could no longer control himself. With a tremble of his fingers, he cried out: "King Qi? This... this..."
The old man in black robes and white beard smiled and said: "The little man Guda is here on the order of His Highness King Qi. At the end of this letter, there is the seal of His Highness King Qi as evidence. With Lu Xiang's eyesight, it can be seen that
true and false."
"King Qi!" Lu Duoxun naturally knew that Zhao Defang was granted the title of King Qi. It was after that that he was demoted and sent to Sanya, where he would never be released. After a quick look at the end of the letter, it turned out that King Qi's seal was indeed true. Lu Duoxun
He has been in charge of government affairs for a long time, and he is very clear about the regulations, fonts, patterns, and secret signs of identifying fakes of various seals and ribbons. Of course, he can tell the authenticity.
He knew that King Qi was kidnapped and killed by gangsters, but how could a letter from King Qi be delivered now?
Lu Duoxun vaguely understood something in his heart, but he didn't seem to understand anything. His only reaction was to subconsciously collect the letter, hold it tightly in his hand, hide it in his sleeve, and turn around quickly to walk towards him.
His bedroom and study room, he said in a deep voice: "Come with me!"
When Lu Duoxun asked his grandson to guard the door, he and his "old friend" hid in the room and read the letter anxiously. In the small area of Liuzhou, Sichuan, Zhao Pu, the founding prime minister, was pacing heavily in his simple study.
He had received the same letter five days earlier than Lu Dosun. For these days, he had no food and no sleep.
This may be an opportunity to come back. His disciples have old stories all over the world. Once it comes true, there will be many things that can be done for His Highness King Qi, enough to make him stand on the top of the human minister again. But... is this risk... worth taking? Qi
Wang, do you have that ability?
Zhao Pu had a hard time deciding what to do. He once put a yellow robe on a person, and thus he rose from being a secretary in the army to becoming the prime minister of a great country with one person under ten thousand people. This established his glory and fame in history, and when he came to Lao
came, but was caught by that
My younger brother was relegated to this barren land with no hope of success. He really wanted to leave here, but after all, he was already old and no longer had the courage and courage of his youth. He already had a family, a career, and children.
Sun, is this risk...worth taking?
He was still holding the letter in his palm. The letter had been blurred by the sweat on his palm, and he couldn't see anything clearly. But he still held it tightly, as if he wanted to draw some strength from it.
It's so hard. Looking from the window, it's dusk again. It's probably another sleepless night.
"What should I do?" Zhao Pu did not think about the righteousness of the country and the country. What he could not decide on was the rewards and risks of going out. At this time, he looked at the half-hidden sunset and stared at it for a long time, and his turbid old eyes overflowed with emotion.
He shed a layer of tears, but in the blood, he seemed to vaguely see Zhao Kuangyin. It was strange that he was not wearing a dragon robe. That outfit was still inspected in front of the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"He was wearing a military uniform and was full of heroic spirit. At that time... he was young, and I was also very young. He was the commander-in-chief of the army, and I was the secretary of the army. I was his father's adopted son and his adopted brother. He often came to my house.
While eating wine, he called my wife sister-in-law..."
Thinking dreamily, two lines of turbid tears flowed down unknowingly, soaking his clothes.
Zhao Kuangyin valued him, respected him, belittled him and suppressed him. All the grievances and resentments in his life had faded away. What he remembered in his heart now was just the brother who called him eldest brother, wife and sister-in-law, and who often came to his house to eat and drink.
The sun was setting, but Zhao Pu's heart suddenly became brighter.
At this time, Pan Mei and Cao Bin, veterans of the former dynasty who were dismissed during the great purge, all received a secret letter by chance, and the "challenge against Zhao Jiongxi" that shocked the world was about to be revealed to the world.
