Han Shizu

Chapter 1218 Yelujing chooses to be conservative
"It's all over?" In the hall tent, Yelujing cut meat with a knife and enjoyed it with strong wine. He raised his eyes and glanced at a group of noble generals headed by Anping Wang Yeludilie.

Seeing that Yelujing's reaction was flat, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and there was a moment of embarrassment, Yelu Dilie said: "Your Majesty, such a golden opportunity is once in a hundred years. If you hesitate, you may regret it if you delay it!"

Obviously, these nobles saw an opportunity from the meeting between the emperors of the two countries, couldn't hold back their restless thoughts, and wanted to make meritorious deeds, and use this to reverse the situation between Han and Liao.

This kind of thinking cannot be said to be stupid or ignorant, but it has huge benefits. If he can really take the opportunity to solve Emperor Liu, it will undoubtedly be a serious blow to the Han Empire in the south.

Then, the pressure exerted on the Liao Kingdom, the rope that was constantly tightening the neck, dissipated immediately.Thinking of the future better, can reverse the decline of the Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop, counterattack the big Han again, and even cavalry going south to the Central Plains is no longer a delusion
In addition, such an opportunity is really rare. No matter how you look at it, for the Emperor Dahan, the meeting with the frontier is the weakest time for his safety.If you miss it, you really won't have it again.
"You want to plot against the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, how can anyone be unprepared?" Yelujing was very shrewd when he became smart. Facing everyone's request, he said slowly: "Then who is the Emperor Han? Since Emperor Taizong, He is the powerful enemy of Daliao. For more than twenty years, Daliao has been in his hands, has he ever taken advantage of it? With his shrewdness, how can he put himself in danger since he came out to invite him?"

"Perhaps it's because Emperor Han was full of ambition, so he was arrogant?" Yelu Dilie couldn't help but said.

After taking a look at this fourth brother, no matter how long it has been, no matter how he has changed, his character of eager for quick success and quick profit has never changed.This is also one of the reasons why he has relied more on his fifth brother Yelv Bishe over the years.

"Life is at stake, the rise and fall of a family and country, can you gamble recklessly and rely on speculation and judgment?" Yelujing scolded unceremoniously.

Yelu Dilie didn't speak anymore, but his expression had the same meaning, he was not convinced.At this time, the Southern Privy Envoy Xiao Husi walked into the tent and reported to Yelujing: "Your Majesty, the Han Emperor sent someone to report again, and it was agreed on September [-]th!"

"In addition, news came from the south that in the past few days, all the gates of the Great Wall of the Southern Dynasties have strengthened their defenses. The troops and horses have been mobilized frequently, and there is a lot of movement. The Han army gathered at Jiaoshan Pass is probably no less than [-] people. There may be plans. Please be more vigilant, Your Majesty!" Xiao Husi said seriously.

"Did you hear that? According to the situation, we need to beware of Emperor Han's plot!" When Yelujing said this, his eyes fell on Yelu Dilie.

"Northern Prime Minister, back then you led the army and entangled with the Han army in Shanyang. In your opinion, with the power we have now, can we defeat the Han army?" Yelujing asked the Prime Minister of the Northern Mansion, Yelu Xianshi.

Back then, when the Liao army withdrew to the north, he was the one who stayed behind, leading the Liao army and tribes in the southern part of the country, and defending a large area of ​​land for Liao. It will also retreat to the north.

In terms of confronting the Han army, Yelu Xianshi is considered to have a relatively right to speak among the aristocratic ministers of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, after a little thought, he responded in a deep voice: "The Han army's frontier army is not weak. The imperial army around the Han emperor It must be an elite team, with the current strength of the camp, the success of the victory is not great! Moreover, Baishuiluo is not far from Hanguan, and we can get support at any time!"

What Yelu Xianshi said was straightforward.Those who have experienced the Han-Liao war, especially the Nankou offensive and defensive battle, know what the odds are.

However, over the past ten years, the army of the Liao Kingdom has also been upgraded. Among the nobles and the army, there is no shortage of brave factions.As the overlord of the north, his ambition has not been completely destroyed. Some people who stand low, can't see far away, and don't understand how powerful and terrifying the big man is today, don't have much awe.

For example, Yelu Dilie may have a high status, but he is a "Great Khitanist".Hearing Ye Luxian's words, he immediately said: "Why did Prime Minister Bei lose his prestige? The Han army is so powerful, so there are no elite soldiers in Daliao?"

"Since the Han army has been mobilized on a large scale and the troops are insufficient, we can also immediately recruit troops and mobilize the garrison. On the grassland, why should we be afraid of his [-] to [-] Han army! The Shanyang Han army does not have a large number. If we can be determined, It's not impossible to succeed!" Yelu Dilie said with a higher voice, with an excited expression on his face.

Unfortunately, what he said failed to win Yelujing's approval, but was met with a stern question: "Do you want to start a full-scale war with the Southern Dynasty? Have you forgotten the painful lesson ten years ago?"

With Yelu Dilie's temperament, it is estimated that he has been suppressed for a long time. At this time, the reprimand from the emperor's brother broke out, and he said directly: "If you don't seek the Han, the Han will seek me. If you don't want to take the initiative to attack, do you still have to wait?" Is the Han army coming to attack? Could it be that Your Majesty is afraid of the Han army and dare not show my Khitan Erlang's sword to them again?"

"King Anping, don't be rude!" Han Kuangsi, the minister of the Han nationality present at the side, couldn't help reminding.

Yelv Dilie seemed to let go, and cast a contemptuous look at Han Kuangsi, the "military doctor", and said coldly, "I am a Khitan warrior, and I can't get used to the rules and etiquette of your Han people!"

Han Kuangsi's family made their fortune by relying on their relationship with the Empress Dowager Shulu, and gradually rose to power, becoming an important Han family in the Liao Kingdom.Thanks to this, during Yelujing's reign, the favor of the Han family has not declined. Even now that the Han Empire is in full swing, the children of the Han family are still highly valued. thing.

"Presumptuous!" Yelu Dilie's attitude completely angered Yelujing, and he reprimanded him in a cold voice, then raised the knife in his hand and pointed outward: "Get out!"

Facing Yelujing with a stern expression, Yelu Dilie didn't hold back after all, snorted coldly, turned around and left.The atmosphere in the palace tent was obviously much duller because of this turmoil.

Yelv Dilie withdrew, and the aristocratic generals who asked for orders to advance were silent, and the others were also silent, waiting for the emperor Yelujing's order.Seeing this scene, Ye Luxian sat low-key, with his head lowered a bit, but a little strangeness flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, Yelujing made up his mind: "Don't talk about the discussion of attacking Han!"

"Yes!" After all the civil and military work, there was no further dispute over this.

"Private Nan, you send someone to reply to Emperor Han, and I will definitely attend the appointment as scheduled!" Yelujing said to Xiao Husi.

"As ordered!"

Looking at Yelu Xianshi again, he instructed: "Since Emperor Han came here with great fanfare and led the crowd, we have to guard against it. You will take charge of the specific matters! Pass the order to camp, slow down, and arrive at Baishuiluo as scheduled!"

"Yes!"

The place where the main camp of the Liao Dynasty is now is less than two days away from Baishuiluo.After a dispute was over, all the officials retreated, and Yelvjing, who was left behind, couldn't help but sighed heavily.

The original strong expression on his face disappeared, and an indescribable sense of exhaustion enveloped Yelvjing's whole body.Not only is the body deficient caused by drinking and sleep disorder all year round, but also the heart is tired.Since the death of Yelu Wuzhi, he has never met a virtuous official who can wholeheartedly plan military affairs for him.

Now, although he is not taking drugs indiscriminately, there is indeed something wrong with Yelvjing's mental state, probably because he is under too much physical and mental pressure.

In fact, Yelujing was not tempted by the suggestions of Yelu Dilie and others. The disastrous defeat ten years ago, the loss of teachers and land, and the death and injury of 200,000 Liao Erlang, such a result, how could it not be unforgettable, how could it not have a sense of shame.

However, it is precisely because the memory is too deep that he has to be careful!Although he has never met, Emperor Liu's name has spread far and wide. To Yelujing, Emperor Liu is more like a nightmare, always lingering in the sky of Daliao, and may show his ferocious fangs again at any time.

How dare Yelvjing underestimate such an enemy, and how dare he act recklessly.

In this way, with their own ghosts and undercurrents, the emperors of the Han and Liao dynasties met at the bank of Baishuiluo under a huge battle in autumn.
