Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty-One

The servants around Zhao Guangyi got a donkey cart and drove Zhao Guangyi away. In order to avoid revealing his identity, the Huang Luo canopy and the guard of honor were all left in place. Brother Yeluxiu had someone carry them to Zhao Guangyi's Chinese army camp , but saw that Zhao Kuangyin had disappeared. At this time, there was no one in the Song Army's camp to command and dispatch. The soldiers and horses from all walks of life lost their command and fought on their own. The Song army under the city converged, some went south, and some did not distinguish between southeast and north, and saw that there were few enemy troops in which direction, so they rushed out first.

In this case, in order to expand the results of the battle, the Liao army could only hunt down and kill all Song armies as much as possible.The Song army under the city of Youzhou was shocked when they learned that Shengshang Yufu's life and death were unknown, and the soldiers of the three armies went their separate ways.The chief generals had a hasty discussion, knowing that it was impossible to continue to attack the city under such circumstances, and if they were not careful, they would be surrounded by the Liao army and wiped out under the city of Youzhou. They immediately decided to retreat immediately and retreat all the way south. Find the whereabouts of the saint.

At this time, the defenders in Youzhou City had already heard the news, and immediately sent their troops out of the city to cooperate with the reinforcements outside the city. Don't give up. Zhao Guangyi came here full of ambition, but once he missed, he was caught in a tragic situation of complete defeat, and the reputation and reputation he had worked so hard to build were destroyed in one fell swoop. On the high slope on the outskirts of Anci City, looking at the team with a clear flag in the distance, they saw that their retreat was quite methodical, and it was so difficult to launch a surprise attack. Brother Yeluxiu, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, sat up in surprise in the carriage, and asked : "Which route is this, report it quickly."

Liu Zhen, the general of the Liao Kingdom who had just failed in the pursuit and returned home with lost troops, said with shame, "General, the troops on this journey are from Li Jilong's troops of the Song Army." "Li Jilong, Li Jilong..." Brother Yeluxiu repeated it twice, nodded lightly and said, "It's really rare to be defeated without being defeated." Brother Yeluxiu naturally understood that the soldiers panicked in such a big defeat. Once they set foot on the road of escape, the most difficult thing is not whether the generals can stay awake, but that they have no power to restrain the defeated soldiers and maintain such a strict military appearance. In order to make the enemy have no chance to take advantage of the retreat, not only does he need to maintain absolute calm on the battlefield, but also his prestige in commanding the three armies and his ability to command and dispatch must also reach a considerable height, and he must be absolutely supported by the soldiers. Such an effect can only be achieved at a critical moment. Such an opponent is by no means easy to fight.

Brother Yeluxiu thought for a while, and then said: "This man who fought his back will suffer heavy losses in a decisive battle with him. The Song army has more than 300,000 soldiers from the north, and now they are fleeing back to the Song Dynasty. You can abandon this road. Inflict damage, issue orders, and pursue soldiers from all walks of life to move closer to Gu'an and intercept and kill other Song soldiers." As soon as Brother Yeluxiu's voice fell, someone came to report: "Report, General, the Song Army's Luo Ke enemy retreated to Xiaoqing River in Gu'an, and suddenly turned back to kill. Wei Wang Yansi hurriedly chased him. Defeated, King Wei was shot by an arrow and hastily carried to Gu'an City for treatment, and now his life and death are unknown."

"General Luo Ke! Hey, there is Li Jilong in front of me, and there is Luo Kedi in Gu'an. There are many famous generals in the Song army. If Zhao Guangyi didn't boast of his skill and liked to personally command the battle, I'm afraid we might not have won the Gaolianghe victory." Brother Yeluxiu pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Song Guo brazenly tore up the treaty and invaded our Daliao. Now that we are defeated, the Queen Mother must have an order to send our troops to the south and order all the troops not to fight with Luo Kedi and Li Jilong." Let's entangle the Ministry, try to kill the Song army, and create opportunities for our southward invasion."

Brother Yeluxiu only regrets that he is now seriously injured and unable to move around, so he cannot compete with Luo and Li. The various soldiers under his command who are chasing after him are obviously inferior to these two in terms of army management and strategy. One way, let them have to gnaw on these two hard bones, it is better to avoid them and inflict heavy damage on the Song army. No matter how brave the generals are, they must have soldiers available. These 300,000 Song troops are well-trained Elite soldiers, eating one more piece will inevitably create great opportunities for the next action.

Right now the Song army is being hunted down, and Brother Yeluxiu has already begun to consider the next move. The Li Jilong in front of him, and the Luo Kedi in Gu'an, he believes that in the next battle, in the battle on the territory of the Song State, They will have a chance to meet again.These are two worthy opponents, and he wants to defeat them with his own hands! The news of the great victory in Youzhou had been reported to Beijing, and Xiao Chuo, who was worried about hearing the news, was relieved immediately.The whole city of Shangjing was boiling, and the people cheered, including the people in the Han district of Nancheng. It didn't matter to ordinary people like them whether the country's surname was Zhao or Yelu, whether they hung the Song flag or the Liao flag. In their land, they just hope that they can live in peace and happiness. Now that the flames of war will not extend to Shangjing, everyone is rejoicing for it, just like Chinese New Year.

In a short time, he wisely broke the siege of Youzhou, defeated 300,000 Song troops, and killed the Song emperor to flee in a panic. The life and death of General Yeluxiu, whose life and death are unknown, was as prestigious as the sky.All the streets and alleys are telling his heroic deeds, describing him as brave and invincible, he is simply the number one general in the history of the Liao Kingdom, and he is in the limelight. "That's not true, General Yeluxiu, that is the first hero of the Yelu family in the Daliao Liao Dynasty. Youzhou was besieged, and the seven reinforcements went to defeat all the way. There was no victory, but our General Yeluxiu made great achievements immediately. Success. Just now, Jurchen and Shi Wei ran away with their heads in their hands, and immediately killed the people of Song Dynasty."

"This time when the general comes back, he has to be rewarded again, right?" "Of course, I heard that the Empress Dowager wants to designate General Yeluxiu as Greater than Yue. Greater than Yue, he is the number one person under the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Those who have made great contributions will not be rewarded. Do the math. This position has been vacant for many years, and now only General Yeluxiu can get this position. This is the highest position above all civil and military officials." "I remember that the emperor Taizu of the Daliao Dynasty worshiped the position of Da Yue because of his great military exploits, and later he was proclaimed emperor by Zen in this position. This is how our Daliao Kingdom came into being. Since then, 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, but the Queen Mother has a son, and has become emperor, how is that possible?" The customs of the Liao State were more relaxed than those of the Song State. The scholars, literati, traffickers and pawns of the Song State had a few glasses of wine, and when their eyes were hot and their ears were hot, they would also pull out state affairs, officials, generals, and ministers to chatter. I think it's strange, but it's more casual in Liao Kingdom. The crazy talk on the wine table is nothing more than chatting. No one will report and investigate.However, it is speculated that the queen mother has the intention of abdicating the throne, after all, she still has some scruples, and someone nearby immediately dissuaded her. But this one was really drunk, and said disapprovingly: "Then what can't be done, the Yelu family is our Daliao royal family, the current emperor is young, can he sit firmly in this country, and control all the tigers and wolves? Yelu is also won A character like General Hugh is the only one. Besides, I didn't say that the Queen Mother intends to abdicate." "Then you mean?" "The Empress Dowager is young and beautiful, General Yelu is in full bloom, and Bao Buqi is married to General Yelu because of his great achievements. "Drink too much, no, drink too much, don't look at Brother Yeluxiu, who is young and senior, he is the grandson of King Yelushilu of the Sui Dynasty, brother of Taizu of Liao Dynasty, Yili Jin Yeluwansi of Nanyuan My son, speaking of it, General Yeluxiu should be the great-grandfather of the current emperor, and if you do the calculations, who is that empress dowager? You are too far behind in this lifetime." "There are so many stinky rules in our Daliao. Sons follow fathers and concubines, and uncles hire nieces. It has been a custom since ancient times. In the past few years, I have learned the stinky problems of the Han people." This person is getting more and more outrageous, but it's not too ridiculous. Who knows if the empress dowager really means this, a beautiful widow in her early twenties, she is the empress dowager, and she is also a woman, so she never thinks about men. ?This person chattered and was persuaded away by his friends who were drinking together, but when this topic started, the acquaintances and friends at each table couldn't help talking about it. The two wine men staggered out of the restaurant, walked not far away, looked around, but no one was following them, the two of them shrank their necks, and went into a small alley against the cold wind. A big house, across the courtyard at the back, as soon as they entered the courtyard, the drunkenness on the faces of the two people disappeared.After entering the room and drinking two cups of strong tea, the eyes of the two became clearer. "Second brother, will this trick work? Our upright man can't fight him with swords, guns and swords. If we play tricks, we can avenge the blood of our Baigan tribe?" The other person squinted his eyes, took a deep sip of tea, and said with a sinister smile: "Lao Qi, don't be convinced, the second brother has been instructed by an expert." Lao Qi snorted and said, "Xiao Chuo has always trusted Brother Yeluxiu. This time, it is Brother Yeluxiu who tried his best to save the situation. A little slander may not move him." The second elder brother smiled triumphantly and said, "You're wrong again. There is an allusion in the Han people called Zeng Mu Suizi, which said that a man with the same name as Zeng Can, a student of Confucius, killed someone. Someone went to tell him. His mother said that his son had killed someone. No one knew her son, so of course the great mother didn’t believe it. But after a while, someone came to tell her that her son had killed someone. When the third person told her, great mother He was scared, so he jumped over the wall and ran away. Hehehe, Lao Qi, if Xiao Chuo trusts Brother Yeluxiu again, can he catch up with a mother who trusts her own son?One person says she doesn't believe it, and two people say she doesn't believe it. What if a thousand or ten thousand people say the same?Furthermore, now that a young and inexperienced baby is the emperor, are you willing to be convinced as a member of the Yelu clan?Now Brother Yeluxiu's reputation is unmatched by anyone, once the rumor spreads, someone will naturally think about him, no matter how loyal he is, Brother Yeluxiu, he can't hold back a group of people with evil intentions to join him, Xiao Chuo's eyes and ears are not good At least, once she heard something, Yeluxiu would just be yellow mud falling into his crotch, it was either shit or 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. Brother Yeluxiu can't fall into a big somersault? " Lao Qi came up to him and said in a low voice: "You also know that Xiao Chuo has many eyes and ears? Do you still remember that year when Yeluxian soldiers trapped the capital? It doesn't matter if you want to talk nonsense or not, you will... " He put his hands down heavily, and the second brother smiled again: "Lao Qi, I said this method is clever, and it is so clever here. What was the rumor at that time? It was said that the first emperor died of serious injuries, and she I can help you to confuse the army. But what about this time? Our buddies, we just started to make a start, and then we didn’t show up. Naturally, there are those idle and boring people who make this rumor more and more complete, and the more it spreads, the more realistic it becomes. Xiao Chuo that girl, no matter how annoyed she is, she still can't vent her anger, what is the big guy preaching? Brother Yeluxiu's skill is as high as the sky, he is the first hero in my Daliao, how did she kill him? Once someone kills someone here, Brother Yeluxiu will have to make a calculation in his heart, hehe, it’s a bad thing for the dumb, she’ll take it.” The second elder brother turned Erlang's legs up, narrowed his eyes, and there was a needle-like light in his tiny eyes, and said coldly: "Brother Yeluxiu, if you can use it, it is the sharpest knife for our revenge. If brother Yeluxiu Unusable, hum, when that bitch Xiao Chuo turns against Brother Yeluxiu, there will naturally be people who can't hold back their loneliness and make trouble. I, Bai Gan, will be buried in the hands of this pair of monarchs, We will definitely avenge this bloody feud!"
When the north wind is cold, Yazhou is still lush and full of spring. "Shuinan Village in Zhuya scenery, at the foot of the mountain, there is a family under the gate of the forest. When the parrot nests, coconuts bear seeds, and the place where the penguin cries, the bamboos give birth to grandchildren. There is no market for fish and salt, and there is distiller's grains in Heniandeng. Visitors from far away come to live in the familiar, but I suspect that I was born in Taoyuan..." The kapok soaring into the clouds is blooming with flame-like flowers, the green trees are whirling, the thin bamboos are slim, and the flowers and fruits are clustered. The distant river lingers and turns, and flows into the sea reluctantly.The fishing sails on the sea are picturesque, and it seems like a fairyland on earth.Lu Duosun looked out from the window and chanted a poem, but a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Is this really a paradise of peach blossoms?No, absolutely not in his heart, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, he will get tired of seeing the unchanging scenery for a long time, but the mosquitoes and flies that bother people every day, and the hard and hard life, every day adds new despair to people's hearts .He was involved in the prince's conspiracy and was implicated. His official position and three generations of conferments were taken away, and his family was distributed to Yazhou. He had hoped that Zhao Guangyi would forgive him by thinking of his hard work in serving the emperor, but there was no text in the memorial to him, but he heard that the personnel changes in the court had already changed beyond recognition. He knew that he should not say goodbye in this life. He will not be able to step up to the peak of being a minister, experience the joy of power again, and he will never be able to return to his hometown. He will die of old age here and be buried in a different place. Lu Duoxun's old eyes couldn't help getting wet. 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 man?" Lu Duoxun was very surprised. Who would come to see him in such a place where no shit?Who still remembers him now?As soon as Lu Duosun lifted his robe, he quickly walked out to meet him. When he arrived at the door, he realized that he was so lost in appearance and lost his identity. He quickly stopped, stabilized his emotions, and walked out slowly. Luderson was taken aback when he saw the person coming. This man was an old man in black robe and white beard. Never met this person.The old man seemed to know that when he saw him, he would know that he was lying, so he smiled slightly, without saying a word, took out a letter from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands respectfully. After all, Ludoxun had once been the prime minister and had seen the big men in the world. He was only slightly startled, but did not show any surprise. He glanced at the old man in black robe and white beard, took the letter calmly, and went to The courtyard is opened.With just one glance, Lu Duosun couldn't control it any longer. He shook his fingers and cried out: "King Qi? This... this..." The old man in black robe and white beard smiled, and said: "The villain is ancient, and he came here at the order of His Royal Highness Qi Wang. At the end of this letter, there is the seal of His Royal Highness Qi King. With Lu Xiang's eyesight, you can see that true and false." "King Qi!" Lu Duoxun naturally knew that Zhao Defang was named King Qi, and it was after that that he was demoted to Sanya, and he would never be released.A quick look at the end of the letter shows that King Naqi's seal is indeed authentic. Lu Duosun, who has been in charge of government affairs for a long time, is very clear about the regulations, fonts, patterns, and secret marks of identifying fakes, so of course he can tell the authenticity. He knew that King Qi was taken captive and killed by gangsters, but how could a letter from King Qi be delivered now? Lu Duosun vaguely understood something in his heart, but he didn't seem to understand anything. The only reaction he made was to subconsciously gather up the letter, hold it tightly in his hand, hide it in his sleeve, and hurriedly turned back to him In the bedroom and study room, he said in a deep voice, "Follow me!" When Lu Duoxun ordered his grandson to guard the door, he and his "old friend" hid in the room, and hurriedly read the letter, the founding prime minister of Sichuan, Zhao Pu, was pacing heavily in his simple study room, He had already received a similar letter five days earlier than Ludosson, and because of this, he really couldn't eat or sleep these few days. This may be a chance to come back. His disciples are all over the world. Once he succeeds, he can do many things for His Royal Highness King Qi, which is enough for him to stand on the peak of being a minister again, but... this risk... is it worth taking?King Qi, do you have that ability? Zhao Pu had a difficult decision in his heart. He once put a yellow robe on a person, and from a secretary in the army, he became the prime minister of a great country with one person under one person and over ten thousand people. However, he was relegated to this impoverished place by that person's younger brother, and there was no future for him.He really wanted to leave here, but after all, he was old and no longer had the blood and courage of his youth.He already has a family, a business, children and grandchildren. Is this risk... worth taking? The letter was still clutched in his palm, the letter paper had already been blurred by the sweat in 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 hard, looking from the window, it's dusk again, probably another sleepless night. "What should I do?" Zhao Pu didn't think about the righteousness of the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, and the rewards and risks of going out. There was a layer of tears, but from the blood, he seemed to vaguely see Zhao Kuangyin. It was strange that he was not wearing a dragon robe, and that attire was inspected in front of the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. "He was dressed in military uniform and was full of vigor. 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, his adopted brother. He often came to my house When eating wine, he called my wife his sister-in-law..." Thinking about it foolishly, two lines of turbid tears flowed down unknowingly, wetting his clothes. Zhao Kuangyin valued him and respected him, belittled him, and all the grievances and resentments in his life have faded away. What he remembers now is only the brother who calls him big brother, wife and sister-in-law, and often comes to eat and drink at home. The sun was setting, but Zhao Pu's heart suddenly brightened. At this time, Pan Mei and Cao Bin, the former court officials who were defeated during the purge, all received a secret letter by coincidence, and the shocking "challenge to Zhao Jiong" was about to be announced to the world.
