Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While the Han Dynasty was actively preparing for war, the Liao Kingdom was not idle either. After occupying Goryeo, Yelu Pusuwan had a clear understanding that there would be a war between Liao and Han.  Because she captured Wang Wen's distant cousin and tortured her to learn a secret, that is, the adopted daughter Wang Wen nominally adopted from her was actually the adopted daughter of Wang Wen and Yue Yun seven years ago.  What was born after the spring breeze was Yue Yun's biological flesh and blood.

    Now Wang Wen has fled to Lin'an and sought refuge with Yue Yun.  News came back from Lin'an's secretariat that Wang Wen had taken her daughter named Nianyun and moved into the Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty. She was very affectionate with Gong Yueli, Li Yurou, Huang Xiuli, Li Shishi and other imperial concubines.  , just short of being formally announced by Yue Yun to be included in the harem.  Under such circumstances, when the wind blows from Wang Wen's pillow, how could Yue Yun, who has always been very soft on women, not start a war with the Liao Kingdom?

    What's more, there is more than one person blowing the wind. Princess Wanyan Yinling of the Kingdom of Jin, whom she hated so much, was also accepted by Yue Yun as the imperial concubine and named Lingfei.  She was severely humiliated by her maid a year ago, so how could she not hold grudges?  Maybe the Han army's current active preparations for war and the continuous deployment of heavy troops on the border between Han and Liao are the result of the two women's pillow talk.

    Thinking of this, Yelvpu felt his heart was numb as soon as he finished.

    Of course, there is not all good news in the past two years or so.  At least the most serious enemy of Goryeo was eliminated.  At the same time, he finally captured all three of Wan Yanliang's sons and executed them.

    Yelu Pu quickly recalled this incident with a smile on his face.  Wan Yanliang, the last emperor of the Jin Kingdom, overestimated the loyalty of the Jurchens.

    at the very beginning.  Tang Kuobian and Tu Shanzhen were loyal and prepared to support Wan Yanliang's youngest son to make a comeback.  Revitalize Daikin.  But there is always a big gap between ideal and reality.  Everyone is willing to do the icing on the cake, but not many people are willing to do the things that provide help in times of need.

    They contacted some of their former subordinates, and they all excused themselves one by one, claiming that it was not easy to settle down, and the Liao Kingdom did not suppress or discriminate against them. If they rebelled at this time, they would not be able to get many women.  If the real person responds, he will be wiped out by the Liao army in one fell swoop.

    Tang Kuobian and others saw that their persuasion was fruitless.  So he had no choice but to hide his name first, planning to wait a few years before finding an opportunity to raise an army.

    However, because they did not dare to live in the city, even in some villages and towns, because Yelu Pusuwan sent a large number of spies to search for their whereabouts.  So in order to avoid being discovered, they had to live in the deep mountains and old forests.

    Living in deep mountains and old forests is naturally very difficult, and it is common to go hungry and have a full meal.  Not to mention that in winter, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, so they can only stay in the caves to spend the day by the fire.

    As time went by, some Jurchen nobles who were accustomed to being pampered and pampered became unable to remain calm.  Although they are not young men who can stretch out their hands with clothes and open their mouths with food.  But they are all noble children who have enjoyed all their glory and wealth.  Now that it has suddenly turned into an ascetic life, naturally many people can't stand it.

    Moreover, many people who were sent out to inquire about intelligence also reported back that the Jurchens who had honestly accepted the rule of the Liao Kingdom at the foot of the mountain had been dispersed and reorganized, and were separated from the Khitan, Han, Shiwei, Goryeo, Bohai and other ethnic groups.  Living outside.  There was no abuse or counterattack.  Especially for Jurchen civilians, life even feels better than before because they no longer have to perform military service.

    This situation.  It is even more difficult for the three exiled ministers to recruit troops and raise military supplies and weapons.

    Of course, people like Tang Kuobian, Tu Shanzhen, Hamichi and others knew that this was the reason why the Liao State was not at ease with the Jurchens, and did not dare to let them serve as soldiers, lest they become too old to die.  But objectively speaking, it has reduced the burden of the Jurchens and won the hearts of the people.

    As a result, many Jurchens who were in contact with these three exiled ministers, especially some civilians, began to think: since life is better under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, and even if the rebellion is successful, they may not be able to  If you can live a better life than before, you might as well sell these noble men to the Liao Kingdom and get a heavy reward.

    So, not long after, someone secretly reported the secrets to the Liao officials who were in charge of them, and confessed the whereabouts of Tang Kuobian, Tu Shanzhen, Hamichi and others.

    After Yelu Pusu got the news, as if he had found a treasure, he immediately ordered Yelu Songshan, Yelu Dege, and Jiang Wei to split up and kill the three exiled ministers of the Jin Kingdom together with Wan Yanliang's three sons in three caves.  Wait until everyone is captured.

    Tang Kuobian, Tu Shanzhen and Hamichi were still brave enough to commit suicide in prison.  Others are less courageous to face death.  In order to save their lives, they disclosed the whereabouts and possible haunts of their other companions who had not yet been captured.  Let the Liao army easily wipe out the remaining forces of the Jin Kingdom., and consolidated his rule.

    Although Yelu Pusuwan was a woman, she had no womanly kindness. He immediately executed Wanyan Liang's three sons, as well as all the captured members of the Jin Kingdom's royal family, without leaving any hidden dangers.  Completely solved the internal hidden dangers.

    Through this action, Yelupu quickly eliminated some Khitan people's doubts about her ability as a queen. She used the results of annihilating the remnants of the Jin Kingdom to successfully gain the support of most Khitan people and consolidate her own power.  status.

    However, internal stability does not mean the elimination of foreign aggression. According to reports from spies sent to the south, the Han army sent troops to occupy Tubo when the Liao Kingdom was clearing out the remaining forces of the Jin Kingdom, threatening the safety of the Liao Kingdom's western regions.  In particular, the old capital of Husihan'er is only a few hundred miles away from the Tibetan border.  Directly exposed to the guns of the Han garrison in Tubo.  This made the Liao subjects in the Western Regions panic.

    At the same time, the Han State stationed heavy troops in Lingzhou, Wuzhou, Shuozhou, Xiongzhou, Bazhou and other places. The total military strength has reached as many as 500,000, and the number of troops is still increasing.

    On Jeju Island and Tsushima Island in the southern waters of the Korean Peninsula, the Han army also stationed 100,000 troops. Under the call of Wang Wen, the former princess of Goryeo, they continued to recruit people from the Goryeo-occupied areas who were dissatisfied with the Liao army.  Training them and integrating them into the Han army all these actions indicate that a large-scale invasion by the Han State is imminent.

    "Yue Yun, your enemy, do you really have to let our two countries meet each other at war? Why are you unwilling to sign the second Tanyuan Alliance?" Yelupu gritted his silver teeth and looked at his bedroom.  In the big mirror, I saw a beautiful girl wearing a golden dragon robe, with a slim figure, bright eyes and white teeth. However, there was a melancholy in this girl's eyes that were as moving as autumn water.  color.

    "Okay! Since you want to fight! Then let's fight! I must let you understand: Daliao is not that easy to bully!" Yelu Pu quickly stood up at this time, and his delicate body suddenly exuded a fierce momentum.  Then he shouted: "Here comes someone!"

    An eunuch came in, bowed to her and said, "May I ask what your Majesty's orders are?"

    Yelvpu turned around quickly and said in a deep voice: "Inform all ministers of fifth rank and above and military generals that a royal meeting will be held in three days to discuss how to face the upcoming possible attack by the Han army! No one is allowed to be absent!"

    "Yes! Your Majesty." The eunuch responded and then withdrew, and then sent people to notify the officials and generals in Yanjing.

    A stormy atmosphere gradually spread.

    Three days later, in the Imperial Palace of Yanjing, the ministers of the Liao Kingdom gathered in the Jinluan Palace and began to discuss the biggest crisis since the founding of the Liao Kingdom.

    Although thirty-eight years ago, Wanyan Agu launched an army against the Liao Dynasty and almost destroyed the Liao Kingdom. If Yelu Dashi had not escaped to the Western Regions, the Liao Kingdom would have perished as a result.  However, at the beginning of the founding of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda had only 2,500 soldiers, which did not cause much shock to the upper echelons of the Liao Kingdom.  Even Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom at that time believed that the Jin Kingdom could be annihilated by just sending tens of thousands of troops.  Although the subsequent development was unexpected, objectively speaking, if Emperor Tianzuo had paid more attention to Wanyan Agu's rebellion at that time, and the generals selected when he first sent troops to exterminate it had not been so incompetent, perhaps the Kingdom of Jin would not have existed.  After all, the Liao army used 100,000 troops to attack the 2,500 Jin army. Even with a pile of heads, they could kill all the Jin army.

    But this time, the situation is completely different.  According to the intelligence constantly sent back by spies in the front, the Han army gathered a total of more than one million troops on a front that stretched nearly ten thousand miles from west to east.

    In the palace hall, Prime Minister Xiao Weili introduced the arrangement of the Han army in a slightly trembling voice: "My lords, in the Tubo area, the Han army has stationed 200,000 troops in the Qilian Mountains after integrating the troops of the Tubo tribes.  And the Kunlun Mountains, the commander-in-chief of the Han army here is Guo Yu, and his deputy general Dai Yi is eyeing our old capital of Liao Dynasty, Hu Sihan"

    Most of the residents in the Western Regions are Uighurs, Kazakhs, Arabs and other ethnic groups who believe in Islam. They are very different from the Khitan people in terms of race, customs, beliefs, etc.  The Liao Kingdom's rule here has never been very solid.  Moreover, after returning to the east, a large number of Khitan people moved back to their hometown. The garrison currently remaining there is only 50,000 people, most of whom are soldiers recruited locally.  How loyal these people are to the Liao Kingdom is still a big question mark.

    If the Han army launches an attack on the Western Regions, it will be difficult for the Liao Kingdom to defend it.  All the ministers of the Liao Kingdom understood the consequences, and their faces turned pale after hearing Xiao Weilici's introduction.

    After a pause, Xiao Weili continued to introduce: "As for the land east of the river in the original Xixia, the Han army also stationed 200,000 troops. These troops were originally from Zhancheng, Annan, Zhenla, etc. transferred from Nanyang.  Taxis from Bagan, Huluo, Dali and other countries?? is the main command, with Guan Ling as the commander-in-chief and Niu Tong as the deputy.  The purpose is to occupy Hetao and the original Xixia Hexi and other places, and cut off the connection between our Daliao mainland and the Western Regions.  "
