Han Shizu

Chapter 1222 The Liao Emperor was stimulated
Leaving the table to say goodbye, each went back to each battalion. The drunken Yelvjing actually chose to "drunk drive", and was surrounded by servants and guards, and returned to the Liao army.

"The intention of the Southern Dynasty to seek me is clearly revealed. A great battle will inevitably break out between Liao and Han. It is inevitable to avoid it. From now on, Daliao must be ready to fight!" Yelujing's eyes were a little red, but his eyes were still Appears clear, speaking in a heavy tone.

Yeluxian rode his horse and followed beside him. Hearing this, his expression was also very serious, and he replied, "Emperor Han has already regarded me, Daliao, as the last enemy!"

"If the two countries go to war, what will happen to the outcome?" After a moment of silence, Yelujing asked.

Yeluxian thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say!"

"It's hard to say?" Yelujing couldn't help but cast a glance at him, and said, "Just now in front of Emperor Han, you spoke uprightly and calmly, and you didn't fall into the prestige of our country!"

Hearing what Yelujing said, Yeluxian didn't hide anymore, and said the truth: "To tell you the truth, to this day, the strengths and weaknesses between the Liao and Han countries are already clear, and the national strength of the Southern Dynasty is already far superior to that of our Dynasty!"

Regarding this point, Yelvjing couldn't be clear about this, so in his resentful tone, there was a bit of sternness: "I didn't ask how the Liao and Han are strong or weak, but tell me, if the Han army goes northward, can Daliao cope?"

Taking a deep breath of the cool autumn air, Ye Luxian said adaptingly: "Your Majesty, in terms of national power, military power, money and food, Daliao will never be able to compare with the Southern Dynasty!
However, Daliao's own advantages cannot be ignored.If the Han army marches northward, what they will face is our thousands of miles of territory. When we confront each other in the desert and grassland, our Daliao soldiers can take advantage of the timing, location, and harmony of people.

The only thing to worry about is Liaoxi and Liaodong. These are the lands where money, food and taxes come from Daliao, half of the population, and cannot be abandoned.City battles and confrontations are originally a deficiency of our army, and the Han army has the advantage of a navy, which can attack across the sea at any time, which greatly increases the difficulty of defending Liaodong.

However, the land of Liaodong is, after all, remote and inconvenient for road transportation, if you stick to the defensive, you will still have the right time and place."

Yelu Xianshi analyzed the whole thing, said something, but didn't seem to say anything.In the end, he sighed: "Once the two countries go to war, life and death will be fought, and the military situation will change. I can't describe it in a few words, and I can only adapt to it!"

Yelujing didn't really mean to embarrass Yelv Xianshi, as he said, it involved the confrontation between the two empires, so it couldn't be explained easily.

After being silent for a while, Yelvjing said in a low voice: "No matter what, once the battle breaks out, the sky will collapse and the earth will be destroyed. Life and death will be fought. It is related to the survival of the family, the country and the society. There is no reason to hesitate or retreat!"

"I still say the same thing! If the Han army dares to invade, I will swear to destroy it!" Ye Luxian said solemnly.

After speaking, Ye Luxian thought for a while, and then took the initiative to say: "Although the Southern Dynasty's national power is strong, it is not without weaknesses. In recent years, it has expanded in all directions and annexed a large area of ​​land. In my view, its momentum is extremely strong.

The so-called prosperity and decline, the four northwest roads belong to the weakly ruled area.If a war breaks out, Daliao should not blindly defend and fight, the Hexi area may be the place where the situation can be broken."

Yelujing slowly relaxed, and his body was slightly hunched. After a long time, he said to Yeluxian: "Next, all the military and political affairs of the Daliao will be put on the preparations for the war against the Han. You wait to be a good planner and come up with a good plan." Here comes a set of practical coping strategies!"

"Yes!"

After returning to the army formation, the Liao army maintained its vigilance and retreated slowly. After retreating ten miles, they set up camp.When everything is settled, night has fallen.

Because of the Emperor Han's camp in the south, the security of the Liao army's camp was much stricter than usual. As for Yelvjing, affected by alcohol, he slept for more than an hour before waking up.

The night was dark and windy, but the hall tents were brightly lit. When he woke up, the depression in Yelujing's heart didn't dissipate much.No matter how firm his attitude was, Yelvjing didn't really have much confidence in his heart when it came to fighting the big man.

It has been more than 20 years since the rise of the Great Han Dynasty, there have been many big and small battles. The Liao Kingdom has never gotten much money. The national fortune of the Liao Kingdom seems to have been swallowed up.

There is one thing to say, during Yelujing's administration, he was defeated in the Han-Liao War and suffered heavy losses, but overall, compared with Yelv Deguang's period, especially in the later period of his rule, the national power has improved a lot.

By the sixth year of Kaibao, in terms of population alone, the total number of people under its jurisdiction had exceeded 5 million.This is nothing compared to the big man, but it is very rare for the Liao Kingdom.

However, the speed of the rise and development of the great Han is too fast, and in terms of background, there is not much comparison between Liao and Han.

Yelujing was not afraid of the big man, but the reality made him feel pressured. The disastrous defeat that year was vividly remembered, and Yelujing would inevitably feel guilty if he fought a national war with the big man.

If possible, Yelvjing would also like to be a Taiping emperor, hunting his hunting, drinking his wine, and sleeping on his sleep.However, Emperor Liu and the Han Empire were obviously unwilling to fulfill him, and he had no way out.

Once the war starts, it will be earth-shattering.It is also because of a clear understanding of this that the hesitation and depression in my heart are hard to dissipate.Yelujing also studied history, whether it was the Huns in the Han Dynasty or the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, the final outcome was clearly laid out there.

Although Yelvjing thought that the Liao Kingdom of the Khitan people was far stronger than the Xiongnu and Turks, every time he looked south and saw the empire standing like a giant in China, he always felt palpitations.

Yelujing was distressed, depressed, with a deep expression on his face, two servants bowed their heads, trembling, carefully brought the wine and food into the room, and placed them on the food table.The afternoon drink with Emperor Liu was not enjoyable at all.

Lifting his eyelids slightly, Yelvjing looked at the two servants, the timid performance made him a little irritable, and Emperor Liu's comments about the servants suddenly came to mind.

With a fixed gaze, Yelujing asked coldly: "Why are you so restrained, are you afraid that I will punish you, or are you afraid that I will kill you?"

When Yelvjing asked this, the two servants panicked immediately, the nervousness and fear on their faces were beyond words, and they kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"

Over the years, Yelujing has killed too many people because of poor servants or mistakes.Some are minor punishments, and some are pure anger killings.
"It seems to be true!" Yelujing murmured, slightly distracted.

Faced with the two begging for mercy, instead of showing any tolerance and kindness, Yelujing added more evil spirits.Scary eyes fell on the two of them, Yelujing sneered: "If you are really allowed to stay by my side for a long time, I am afraid that my safety will be in danger!"

After saying that, Yelvjing called the guards in front of the tent, and ordered coldly to pull the two servants out and kill them.Not only that, but immediately after that, all the dozen or so attendants who accompanied him were arrested and tortured to see if they had committed any crimes.
Yelvjing's move was almost crazy. Obviously, he was stimulated by Emperor Liu's words. In terms of punishing his heart, Emperor Liu is a good hand.Of course, it was also a way for Yelvjing to vent after accumulating too many negative emotions.

The emperor killed again!This news quickly spread around the temple tent, everyone was silent and did not dare to say more, and everyone was also in danger.Not only those close servants and internal servants, even those nobles, ministers, and guards, how can they have no thoughts and worries in their hearts?

The servants around him were all cleaned up, but the emperor could not be without servants, so Yelujing ordered someone to select a few innocent and loyal people from the army to serve as servants.

However, no matter how loyal a person is, how can he be at ease when facing Yelvjing in this mental state.Yelujing didn't realize it at all, and he didn't have the awareness. The problem didn't lie with the servants, but with himself.
