Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In a unique courtyard, Zhu Wu, Shi Jin, Chen Da, and Yang Chun were eating wine.

    Shi Jin said impatiently: "In my opinion, we should go see the prince. We have been in the capital for two days. Now that Daliang is expanding its territory, it is the time for us to make achievements, but we stay here every day, eating wine and holding back.  Killed."

    Zhu Wu smiled and said: "The prince asked us to take a rest. I think we will be useful soon."

    Yang Chun frowned and said, "We just met the prince when we first came here, and then we were arranged to rest here, and we haven't seen the prince since. Will the prince forget us?"

    Zhu Wu smiled and said: "The prince is busy with business, can he still accompany us every day?"

    Chen Da patted Yang Chun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right, Daliang has many soldiers and generals, and there are countless heroes who are better than us. If the prince wants to accompany him, he doesn't have to do anything."

    Yang Chun said awkwardly: "Of course I don't want the prince to accompany us, I'm just afraid that the prince will forget us. By the way, didn't brother Shi Jin go to visit coach Wang Jin yesterday? He kept his brother for a day, and he must have not forgotten what he had done before  What did he say?

    Shi Jin smiled and said: "Master asked me to perform martial arts yesterday to see if my martial arts has improved. He said that my current martial arts skills can make me a trainer, but I don't want to be a trainer. I have learned martial arts, so I have to go into battle to kill the enemy.  "It is not my ambition to make great achievements and be a coach."

    Yang Chun nodded and said, "What Brother Shi Jin said is that being a coach is not as exciting as going into battle."

    While the four of them were talking, they heard someone from behind say, "What are you talking about?"

    Looking at it, Yang Chun was worried that he had forgotten their prince, and he hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "No need to be polite, have you rested?"

    Hearing this, Shi Jin immediately said impatiently: "Have a rest. If the prince has any use for us, just give us your orders."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "General Lin Chong will lead his troops to Xijing soon. Wang Qing and Tian Hu may jointly attack Xijing. We don't have many troops in Daliang. We may be outnumbered by then."

    Shi Jin immediately said: "We are willing to go with General Lin. When the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, it is a good time to make achievements."

    Chen Da and Yang Chun are also used to licking blood from the edge of a knife, and they also echoed the words.

    Chao Yong saw that only Zhu Wu was silent and said with a smile, "Sir, don't you want to go?"

    Zhu Wu smiled and said: "Xijing will be attacked by Wang Qing and Tian Hu, but the prince asked General Lin to lead the troops. I guess the prince has a more important war. Xiao Ke is willing to follow the prince and make suggestions."

    "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a divine strategist. The Liao Kingdom has learned about the great changes in our Central Plains and is gathering troops. He wants me, Daliang, to give them the same annual coins as the Song Dynasty. Although our Daliang Dynasty has not yet established a stable footing, how can we sign an alliance under the city with the Song Dynasty.  I am about to go to Hebei to lead the army to fight against the Liao Dynasty, so I can only leave it to General Lin and you to deal with Xijing."

    When Zhu Wu heard that Daliang actually rejected the Liao peace proposal and prepared to fight against the Liao, he was full of enthusiasm and said: "Although Wang Qing and Tian Hu are powerful, they are just a mob. Xijing has a high city and thick walls. As long as it is defended,  If you get the method, you will definitely be able to stop them outside the city. Although the Liao Kingdom is in decline, it cannot be underestimated. Although Xiao Ke is not good at martial arts, he can still make suggestions for the prince. "

    Hearing Zhu Wu's analysis, Shi Jin and the other three also said together: "We are willing to follow the prince to fight against the Liao Dynasty."

    "Chao Yong knows what you are thinking, but Hebei has 50,000 troops from Daliang and tens of thousands of newly surrendered imperial troops from the former dynasty, which is more than enough to fight against the Liao Kingdom. Although Xijing also has 20,000 imperial troops, they may not be of much use. Lin Chong can  The ones he trusts are the 10,000 Liangshan veterans, so I want you to go and help him. "

    Seeing what Chao Yong said, Zhu Wu had no choice but to clasp his fists and said, "Then I'll go to General Lin to take orders."

    Chao Yong clasped his fists and said: "I have told him about you, so let's say goodbye. I believe that we will be able to meet again soon. Then I will treat everyone to a drink. Take care."

    "Prince, take care."

    "Prince, take care."

    "Prince, take care."

    "Prince, take care."

    After leaving the four people, Chao Yong went to the Prince*.

    After having lunch with Hu Sanniang, Chao Yong took Shi Yong and Xue Yong straight to Mozhou.

    Because it is nearly a thousand miles from Tokyo to Mozhou, Daliang¡¯s horses cannot gallop thousands of miles continuously. If there are more than one person and many horses, it will be difficult to provide food and grass along the way.  Therefore, Chao Yong only brought two personal soldiers. He could quickly reach Mozhou as long as he kept changing horses at the post house along the way.

    As early as when Liangshan attacked Gaotang Prefecture, he defeated the soldiers and horses from several states in Hebei Province. Liangshan soldiers and horses became famous in Hebei Province.  After Lu Junyi's army and Zhao Ji's imperial edict arrived, the state capitals almost looked at the wind.

    ?A few officials who had committed serious crimes knew that they would not be able to escape the punishment of Daliang even if they were surrendered, and they did not have the courage to fight against Lu Junyi's army with the power of one state, so they could only take away their money and run away.  Lu Junyi went all the way north, and there were many officials fleeing from various states.

    Before the news of the change of dynasty was leaked, Wang Shiyong rushed to the Daming Mansion in Beijing and took over the left-behind office in Beijing.

    Liang Zhongshu, who was left behind in Beijing, has just received an official document from Xingren Mansion, saying that Liangshan soldiers and horses are passing through and Tokyo is in danger.  When Liang Zhongshu was considering how many troops to send to the king, Wang Shiyong arrived with the imperial edict.

    Wang Shiyong was also cunning. Hearing that Liang Zhongshu had learned that Liangshan soldiers and horses were attacking Tokyo, he immediately said that the imperial court had already detected the movements of Liangshan soldiers and horses.  Therefore, he was sent to take over the remaining post in Beijing. There was no need to send troops to serve the king, as long as he stayed in Beijing.

    A group of generals also felt that Liang Shan thieves hit the west. After all, in Tokyo's defense, even if there is a complete siege equipment, it is not possible to capture in a short time. At that time  Therefore, the target of Liangshan's troops is likely to be Beijing or Nanjing. After all, with Liangshan's military strength, ordinary state capitals do not have to go through so many troubles.

    Liang Zhongshu never thought that the palace would be controlled by Chao Yong, nor did he think that Liangshan's troops could break through Tokyo. Naturally, he did not suspect that the imperial edict was fake or written under coercion. He was delighted when Wang Shiyong said that he had been promoted after returning to Beijing.  The left behind was handed over.  However, he was worried about running into Liangshan bandits on his way back to Beijing, and wanted to stay in Beijing to wait for the situation to become clearer.

    Wang Shiyong was afraid that Liang Zhongshu would do something bad in Beijing, so he immediately urged Liang Zhongshu to set off on the road immediately according to the emperor's order. He told Liang Zhongshu in private that Beijing was more dangerous, which frightened Liang Zhongshu. He immediately packed up his belongings and took his family to the west, preparing to take a detour.  Go to Tokyo to avoid running into Liangshan soldiers and horses.

    As soon as Liang Zhongshu left, Wang Shiyong began to win over the military officers in the city. By the time the imperial edict to surrender to Daliang came, Wang Shiyong had already roped in some military generals, set up an ambush in the left-behind mansion, and summoned the military generals in the city to announce the edict. As soon as some military generals raised objections, he  He was beheaded by Wang Shiyong for resisting the decree.  The other generals felt that it was impossible to resist the imperial edict, so when they saw this, they all signed their loyalty documents to Daliang.  If we say that the civilian officials signed the pledge, it can be said that they did so in accordance with the order, but once the military generals signed the pledge, they could not look back no matter what the situation was in the future, because this was the Song Dynasty that regarded military generals as a serious problem.

    Daming Mansion successfully changed its banner.

    Lu Junyi relied on the power of the army and Zhao Ji's imperial edict to be unstoppable along the way. However, when he arrived at Hejian Mansion, he heard that the magistrate of Xiongzhou had taken the people and surrendered to the Liao Kingdom.  Although the Liao State did not send troops to station, it planted the Liao State flag. At the same time, the Liao State informed that envoys were ready to go south to discuss border issues between the two countries.

    Lu Junyi could not directly seize Xiongzhou, so he could only station troops in Mozhou, report to the court, and wait for orders from the court.

    It turned out that the magistrate of Xiongzhou was a corrupt official. He knew that surrendering would be a dead end, but he was unwilling to escape, so he dedicated the city to Yelu Dashi, who was gathering troops at the border, in exchange for wealth.

    During the Xuanhe period, the Song Dynasty made up its mind to unite with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and frequently sent Ma Zhi to the Jin Kingdom to agree on alliances.  There was a lot of controversy in the court. The Liao Kingdom also found out that the Song Dynasty was going to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom to capture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, but it was unable to stop it. Therefore, it sent many spies to the Song Dynasty to find out the news to avoid being suddenly attacked by the Song Dynasty.

    Therefore, the news of Daliang's capture of Tokyo soon spread back to the Liao Kingdom. Yelu Dashi did not expect that the Liangshan soldiers and horses he was planning to support vigorously would capture Tokyo so quickly.

    Yelu Dashi judged that there would be chaos in the Central Plains and could take advantage of the opportunity. He immediately reported it to Yelu Chun, the king of Nanyuan, and suggested that troops and horses should be gathered to take advantage of it.

    Yelu Chun also felt that the opportunity was rare, so he ordered Yelu Dashi to gather troops and horses, and at the same time flew to report to the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi.  At this time, Yelu Yanxi was hunting in Yuanyangluo, which was five hundred miles away from Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing.

    The Nabo system was a unique political system of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom had five capitals: Tokyo, Xijing, Nanjing, Zhongjing, and Shangjing. However, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom was rarely in the five capitals. Most of the time he was on his way to Nabo in the Four Seasons.  .

    Before the founding of the Khitan people, they were nomadic people, living in pursuit of water and grass, and migrating throughout the year.  After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this living habit was maintained, but it was given a lot of political significance.

    Spring Nabo and Autumn Nabo mainly deal with the relationship between the Khitan people and other ethnic groups, while Xia Nabo and Dong Nabo mainly hold meetings between northern and southern ministers.

    There are many ethnic groups on horseback in the Liao Kingdom, and these fierce ethnic groups are the most difficult to rule.  The four seasons of Nabo and the migration of water and plants allowed the Emperor of the Liao State to better understand these ethnic groups and better handle the relations between the ethnic groups. At the same time, the Emperor of the Liao State also allowed the Emperor of the Liao State to maintain the martial prowess of his ancestors, because after dealing with political affairs, it was time to go hunting.  The animals hunted in autumn are bears, tigers and other ferocious beasts.

    "It's a pity that after Yelu Yanxi became emperor, he completely forgot the political significance of the Nabo system and changed it to a pure four-season safari.  Make an appointment with the heads of each department to deal with the matterThe relationship has also become a blackmail for each ministry, and the leaders of each ministry must prepare generous gifts when they meet.

    The leaders of various tribes were even regarded as objects of entertainment by him. In the second year of Tianqing, during the Spring Festival, Yelu Yanxi summoned the leaders of the nearby Jurchen tribe and ordered the leaders of each tribe to perform dances for him during the banquet. Wanyan Aguda felt that this was a sign of revenge for him.  Humiliated, he rejected Yelu Yanxi on the spot.

    If Yelu Yanxi had killed Wanyan Aguda on the spot, perhaps there would have been no Jin Kingdom, but Yelu Yanxi pretended to be generous and let Wanyan Aguda go.

    Wanyan Aguda saw the dissatisfaction of the Jurchen tribes, so when he returned, he contacted the Jurchen tribes to prepare for rebellion.

    To this day, the Jin Kingdom has captured Tokyo and Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom, but Yelu Yanxi has not learned his lesson and is still addicted to his four-season safari.

    The Chunba Bowl was supposed to summon the leaders of the Jurchen tribes in Changchun Prefecture, Tokyo, but now that Tokyo has been captured by the Jin Kingdom, and the Jurchen tribes have rebelled, the previous Chunba Bowl can no longer be held.

    But Yelu Yanxi, who liked hunting by nature, would not stay in one place obediently, so he moved the spring bowl to Yuanyangluo.  As the name suggests, Yuanyangluo has a water pool with many waterfowl, making it a good place for hunting.

    Without Yelu Yanxi¡¯s consent, Yelu Dashi would not dare to launch a war, and he would have no right to send envoys.  Yelu Dashi deliberately spread the news about this matter to test Daliang's attitude.

    Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed when he heard that there was great chaos in the Central Plains, and the ministers of the Southern Court requested to send troops to plunder the Central Plains. He immediately rushed to Nanjing from Yuanyangluo with 5,000 soldiers. He wanted to personally conquer the country and avenge his previous humiliation.

    A few years ago, he led hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer the Jin Kingdom, but was defeated by Wanyan Aguda with 20,000 troops. It can be said that his prestige was completely lost.  He was also scared out of his wits by the Kingdom of Jin and did not dare to conquer the Kingdom of Jin in person. However, facing the chaos in the Central Plains, he was not afraid at all. He thought it was just a large-scale hunting, which was much more interesting than his hunting here.  Therefore, he ordered the soldiers and horses on the border not to move rashly until he arrived, and he would personally conquer the Central Plains that none of his ancestors had conquered.  (To be continued.
