Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 697 Yan Yun (seventeen)
Speaking of Ruzhou and Yunnei, we must mention Yelu Yanguang.

On that day, he parted ways with Yelu De in Tanzhou, and led his seven or eight thousand cavalry to Juyongguan, and then disappeared into the boundaries of Ruzhou.At that time, Ruzhou and other places had been captured by Wanyan Xieye. If the Jin army was prepared to prepare, Yelu Yanguang would definitely not be able to succeed.

It was just that at that time, the main force of the Jin army was in Yunzhong City, Datong Prefecture, confronting Yang Zhijun who was heading north. I saw that Yelu had attracted another cavalry army to pursue Emperor Tianzuo. Ruzhou and other places were really empty.

Yelu Yanguang immediately ordered troops and sent generals. Within a few days, he went to Ruzhou, Khanzhou, Fengshengzhou, and Guihuazhou, completely cutting off the connection between Datong Wanyan Xieye's army and the main force of the Jin army.At the same time, he also planned to "encircle Wei and save Zhao", hoping to force Yelu Yujian to withdraw his troops.

Facts have proved that Yelu Yanguang did it.That was not only the withdrawal of troops from Yelu Yutian, but also the forced withdrawal of Aguda, who had captured Tanzhou at that time, was forced to divide its troops. Wu Qimai's eldest son Wanyan Puluhu [Wanyan Zongpan] was used as the general, and he led two thousand Jurchens to join Bei Anzhou Liao. The army surrendered thousands of troops and recaptured Ruzhou, Khanzhou and other places.

The Jin army's retreat at Xijing Road was cut off. Yelu Yujian was forced to withdraw by Wanyan Xieye, and joined forces with Wanyan Pulu's tiger army to attack Yelu Yanguang.

The former was a capable general. Although he failed to attack Emperor Tianzuo many times, he was still able to drive Emperor Tianzuo away in panic. During this period, he even had no choice but to use a substitute to attract attention.Yelu Yujian then seized Emperor Tianzuo's robes, ceremonial crowns, etc., plus a stand-in.Now facing Yelu Yanguang, he would not be careless.The latter does not have many troops, but most of them are Khitan and Xi people. They have a lot of people and strong fighting power.

Seeing that Yeluyu didn't want to fight to the death, he asked the substitute who was five points similar to Emperor Tianzuo to pretend to be Tianzuo, and pushed him out before the battle, and made people shout that Emperor Tianzuo had been captured.

They were several miles apart from each other in the battle formation, and their [-]% similar looks became [-]% similar under the background of their clothes. And if the distance blurred the human eye, it would be a [-]% success.

There were many Khitan nobles in Yelu Yanguang's army, and many of them had met Emperor Tianzuo. The morale of the army was in chaos.

Seeing that Yeluyu took the opportunity to attack without Wanyan Puluhu's help, he easily defeated Yeluyanguang's army and recruited more than [-] Khitan soldiers.

Calling Yelu Yanguang and his son only attracted less than two thousand riders, they fled northward in embarrassment.From the Zhangjiakou area of ​​later generations into the grassland.

This battle was of great significance. Not only did Yelu Yanguang suffer heavy losses, but the news that Emperor Tian Zuo had been captured by the Jin army spread throughout Xijing Road.

When Yeluchun and his party arrived at Juyongguan Pass, the guard Shimaduga had just received this message, and he was in a daze, at a loss as to why.

"What should I do?" Yeluchun also sat down on the ground.What is this?After working so hard, he came to join him, but Emperor Tianzuo had already been captured first.

Even Miss Xiao Pu, who has always been the 'insider', feels empty in her heart, not knowing where to go.

Yelu Dezhong only looked at his father, now he really needs Yelu Chun to make up his mind.

But what choice can he make?As a master whose will is not very firm, without the Nanjing Dao passed down from father to son for decades, and without Emperor Tianzuo, Yeluchun has completely lost his fighting spirit.

In fact, at this moment, not only Yelu Chun lost his fighting spirit, but also many Khitan soldiers and dignitaries in Juyong Pass felt empty and disappointed.Some wailed, some laughed, but there were tears in their laughter.

So when Hu Yanzhuo led his troops to the city of Juyongguan, Yelu Dongxian finally made up his mind.

"Daliao is dead, Daliao is really dead....Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister has gone." Pulling out the matching blade, he slayed himself.He was so fast that even the servants around him couldn't stop him.

When Ali Qi and Yelu Dezhong heard the news and arrived, Yelu Chun was already lying on the corpse of Yelu Cave Immortal and weeping bitterly.

Loyal minister, this is the loyal minister of Daliao.

"How can it still be today?"

"Come down."

"Surrender, we will wait for the grandparents and grandchildren and we will be safe." The Central Plains Dynasty is much more civilized than the Jurchens.Emperor Nalu has always been famous for his benevolence.

"Otherwise, if His Majesty is in the hands of the Jurchen, I, the Khitan, can only become the pawn of that generation, and die in vain."

Even if they can establish another new emperor, the Jurchens hold Emperor Tianzuo in their hands, and the new Khitan emperor will be overwhelmed by internal disputes. How can he deal with foreign enemies?
Just saying that the Jurchens put back one of Emperor Tianzuo's princes is a terrible way!

The future prospects of the Khitan were so gloomy, so gloomy that even the Immortal Yelu Dong drew his sword and committed suicide. This was like the straw that broke the camel's back, and even Yelu Chun gave up completely.

"If you don't want to, you can leave on your own. My king, I don't want to leave again..."

Yelu Chun waved his hand back and sat next to Yelu Dongxian's body, watching the servants put away the coffin.He was tired.

Ali Qi and Yelu De went outside again, the face of the two was as ugly as shit, but the other was relieved.

"General, go north, Wanwang be careful. It's too heavy... It's really embarrassing."

As a close branch of the Khitan clan, at such a time, he is not as shameless as a generation like Ari Qi who came from a poor background.

Under the crisis, everything in Juyongguan became fast and simple.If you want to surrender, surrender; if not, leave.The city gates on the north and south sides are open!

Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help grinning, is it true?The Khitan people jumped out of the cage, why did they suddenly surrender?Even Li Shi around him didn't believe it. "North of Juyongguan is Confucian State, where the garrison is empty, and further north is the vast prairie. At this time, the sudden surrender is not a fraud?"

This Li Shi's father, named Li Chuwen, stayed behind when Yelu Chun and others hurriedly left Xijin Mansion. He was a man who had long been in cahoots with the Intelligence Department.Yelv Chun left the city with his front foot, and he greeted Hua Rong with his back foot and led the Qi army in.

At this time, Emperor Lu might have already been in Xijin Mansion.And soon this Xijin Mansion will be swept into the dust of history, Yanjing is the name it should be called.

But no matter how much he didn't believe it, Li Shi had to believe it when he saw that Yelu Chun and Yelu had respected their father and son.

Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly dismounted from his horse and greeted Yelu Chun and Yelu Dezhong with his father and son.The two of them said a lot of courteous words with a deep understanding of righteousness, and quickly asked someone to report to Emperor Lu.

A great discovery, an absolutely great discovery.Emperor Tianzuo was captured by Yelu Yujian.This was beyond Hu Yanzhuo's expectation, Zhijiao Yeluchun and his son lost their fighting spirit.

But whether Yang Zhi and the Jin army will go to war is still unknown in Juyongguan.

"Old general, if you want to know the truth, it's very simple. All you need to do is send troops to capture Ruzhou, and you can definitely find out."

Shi Modujia, the general guard at Juyong Gate, asked Hu Yanzhuo a question that he didn't understand. Hu Yanzhuo was furious. He grabbed his clothes by the chest and threw him out for more than ten feet with a strong force of his arms.At this time, a female voice with a crisp and bright tone and a hint of sarcasm came into Hu Yanzhuo's ears. The double-whip general turned his head to see that she was a Khitan noblewoman.

It looks like peonies wrapped in spring smoke, and the face is like a lotus soaked in autumn water.She has a good appearance, but she is none other than the Tianshou Princess Yelu Dalibao who was left by Emperor Tianzuo in Nanjing.

That is to say, the niece of Yelu Yujian, who had invested money in the Liao Dynasty, the daughter of the dead Concubine Wen of Tianzuo, Xiao Sesel, the wife of the dead son-in-law Xiao Yu, and the eldest son of Emperor Tianzuo, the eldest son of Jin Wang Yeluao Luwozhi. sister.

Knowing the woman's identity, Hu Yanzhuo's face flashed a strange color, no wonder there was no trace of sadness in the woman's expression, and she even urged herself to send troops to Confucian state in her words.That's how it should be.

"Taking Confucian State is the right thing to do. The mere Jurchen barbarians dare to peek at the holy land of China, and they really don't know whether they are dead or alive. It's just that the general's order is limited to Juyongguan. To send troops to Confucian State, we need an order from our lord. "

Don't talk about Shen Laozi's "If you are going to be outside, you will not accept your orders".Juyongguan is only a short distance from Xijin Mansion. If I really don't accept the emperor's orders, I should go away.

In the Xijin Mansion, Emperor Lu has now moved into the Khitan Palace.Just when Hu Yanzhuo was leading his troops to fight on both sides of the Wenyu River, he also held a formal banquet for his ministers.

The brothers Li Chuwen and Li Chuneng offered the entire Xijin Mansion with both hands. Emperor Lu was also quite stingy, so he immediately gave Li Chuwen the title of Yanshan Advocate.Its functions are as the name suggests.

Xijin Mansion was renamed Yanjing Mansion immediately, and the matter is over now, but to the west of here, there are also Huilibao and Yelu Dashi from Jizhou, Guo Yaoshi from Jingzhou, Zhang Jue from Luanping, and Yingzhou—— —Yelüma Wu of Yuguan.

Among them, Guo Yaoshi is a member of the Emperor Lu, but it is a secret underworld. On the surface, Guo Yaoshi is a loyal minister of Khitan.

In this way, there are nearly ten thousand Khitan soldiers and Xi soldiers in the Huilibao Department, thirty thousand Han soldiers under Yelu Dashi, seventy-eight thousand soldiers in the Guo Yaoshi Department, more than 8000 soldiers in the Zhangjue Department, and more than ten thousand people in the five Yeluma Departments.

There are a total of [-] soldiers and horses, including [-] elites.This is an impressive military force!

Emperor Lu's current elite forces are all focused on wiping out the remnants of the Jurchen remnants around the Xijin Mansion, and they must move west as soon as possible to go out of Juyongguan, capture Confucian Prefecture, and cut off the retreat of the Jin soldiers in Xijing Road.

——He believed that the green-faced beast would not disappoint him, and would definitely defeat the golden soldiers who were in front of him.

As a result, he would not be able to mobilize enough troops eastward to clean up the Khitan army in the short term.

After listening to Li Chuwen's report on the classification of the various soldiers and horses of Khitan on the east side, Emperor Lu naturally noticed the existence of the Han army.If Li Chuwen was used as the envoy, Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen, Cao Yongyi, Kang Gongbi and other Han officials in Xijin Mansion were also taken in for their own use.

Emperor Lu didn't know the faces of Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen and others in history, but Zuo Qigong was already seventy years old and was obviously not of much use.However, this guy was well-known in the Yanshan area. He was a local wealthy family and had close ties with many Han official families in Nanjing. He was also quite influential in the political arena of the Liao Kingdom.

So you can't help but recruit.Anyway, officials who are close to the people can't do it, can they still be used to compile "History of Liao Dynasty"?

Zuo Qigong also knew that he was getting old and it was too late for him to achieve fame, so after being recruited by Emperor Lu, he first expressed his excitement with gratitude, and then turned down the deputy ambassador because of his old age and weakness. position, and took the initiative to recommend Han Qixian, Liu Yanzong and other rising talents from the Hanguan Family Group in the North to Emperor Lu.

Emperor Lu recruited many local snakes in the Xijin Mansion, and then he had a big banquet for all the ministers. The cultural relics under his command gathered together, both old and new, and toasted together to celebrate the great achievements of this battle.

The first battle defeated the Jurchen main battle army and cut off one of Aguda's arms. Even if he got away from Aguda and many other young girls, so what?Strength does not come out in vain.It will be difficult for the Jurchens to pull together such an elite team.

After the banquet, Emperor Lu returned to the harem to rest.I slept in bed until dark, and asked someone to bring hot water. Less than half a cup of tea was soaked in the water, when an urgent news came from outside, an urgent news from Juyongguan!

Then Emperor Lu hurriedly called Zhu Wenwu to come.
