Chapter 916 Yelu's real advice
Chapter 916 Yelu's real advice
The imperial meeting ended in a slightly depressing atmosphere, but a major decision was finally made to withdraw Wende to the west and get out of the predicament temporarily.
The ministers retreated and prepared to appease the army and make arrangements for its withdrawal. For the newly defeated army, this is also a matter that needs to be properly prepared and arranged.Emperor Yelujing of the Liao Dynasty sat in the yamen hall, but his face was very gloomy.
In fact, although the current situation of the Liao army is not optimistic, it is far from exhausted.In the Huailai area, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops. As long as they are handled properly, morale is restored, and the combat power is rested, they may be capable of fighting.
At the same time, although the Han army's offensive capabilities are strong, they still have to be blocked by the Yanshan Mountains. It is not that simple to fight over the mountains, especially as time drags on and winter deepens, it is even more unfavorable for combat.
On the other hand, the Liao army can take some positive actions, such as sending troops to blockade the mountain pass while guarding Juyongguan, and besieging and trapping Li Chongjin, who controlled Jinshan, to death.
Of course, this is only a possibility. If the Liao army does this, what kind of consequences will be caused, what kind of impact will be caused, and how the Han army will respond are all uncertain things.
However, once he chooses to retreat westward, it proves that the current monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom really have no hope of fighting the Han army.This is probably the impact of Nankou's setback.
As Yelujing himself said, the Yanshan line of defense has been voluntarily given up. After the Han army came over the mountain, how can they rely on the cities on the right side of the mountain to defend against the Han army's offensive?
Therefore, even though he agreed to Yelv Wuzhi's suggestion, Yelvjing always had doubts in his heart and was extremely depressed.And the more I think about it, the more irritable I feel.
With a gloomy face, he was sitting in meditation, and before he knew it, it was time for dinner.The two servants carefully held a bottle of wine, a plate of roasted mutton, and some refreshments, ready to serve the Liao Emperor.
It was probably because Yelvjing's expression was too gloomy and cold, and under the shock, the valet seemed very nervous.One of them, while fiddling with, spilled wine on the table with trembling hands.
Yelvjing turned her head abruptly, and her sharp eyes fell on the servant like a knife. His face turned pale, he was shocked, and quickly knelt down, begging for forgiveness.
Seeing this, Yelujing smiled, stood up, with a flicker of cruelty on his stern face, he pulled out the treasured knife at his waist, aimed at the servant's neck and chopped it off.
Accompanied by a scream, the head fell to the ground, blood spilled all over the ground, stained Yelujing's clothes, and splashed on the face of another servant.This movement immediately aroused the vigilance of the imperial sergeants. The officers of the old guard rushed in with a few soldiers, and what they saw was this picture:
Emperor Liao held a blood-stained knife in his hand, and his breath fluctuated a little. There was a headless corpse lying on his feet. spare my life.
In this regard, the sergeants of the old guard were all stunned.Ye Yelujing took a deep breath, discarded the treasured sword in his hand, looked around, but didn't explain anything, just ordered a lightly: "Clean up this place!"
After killing someone, the hostility on Yelvjing's face dissipated, and the depression in her heart seemed to ease a lot.A pair of eyes regained clarity again, and the thoughts in his mind became much clearer.
After thinking for a while, Yelvjing called the guard officer and said, "Go, get the King of the North Court!"
For Yelu Wuzhi's side, he was called back alone not long after he left, and he felt a little bit surprised.When I came back, I happened to see the soldiers of the old guard carrying out the corpses. Seeing this, I hurriedly stopped and asked about the situation.In fact, the guard didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, but only revealed a little bit in general, that the emperor killed a servant with his own hands.
The slightly frowned brows relaxed, Yelu Wuzhi subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, he thought it was some accident.You know, during this period of time, Yelv Wuzhi is also highly vigilant against the undercurrents and undercurrents under Emperor Liao's seat, those with ulterior motives.
When he saw Emperor Liao, he had already changed his clothes, the hall had been cleaned up, and even the smell of blood had been removed, covered by the smell of spices.
"I don't know, Your Majesty, what orders do you have for the courtiers?" After entering the room, Yelu Yuqian respectfully saluted and abided by the courtiers' rituals.
Signaling Yelu Wuzhi to sit down, Yelujing glanced at him, pondered, organized his words for a while, then looked directly at him, and said in a deep voice: "It was just the military discussion, and all the ministers have something to say, although I also decided to go west. Withdraw to avoid the edge of the Han army, but how to deal with the Han army's Northern Expedition, there is still no strategy, and how to resist the enemy has not yet been resolved!"
Obviously, Yelvjing still saw some things very clearly, with a very serious expression on his face, he confronted Yeluwu: "I always feel that the public is the only one who speaks, has reservations, and has not expressed what he said! Now, there are only two of us, the monarch and his ministers. , please don’t hesitate to enlighten me!”
Facing Emperor Liao's question, Yelu Wuzhi was rather stunned, but he paid attention to his eyes, couldn't help sighing secretly, stood up and cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, even if our army retreats to Wende, it will be difficult to avoid it." The sharpness of the Han army!"
Hearing his words, Yelvjing immediately said: "In that case, why do you suggest retreating westward!"
Feeling a little dissatisfaction in Emperor Liao's tone, Yelu Wuzhi showed hesitation, raised his eyes several times to observe Yelujing's expression, finally, took a deep breath, and knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, in fact, I want to suggest , the army should not only retreat to Wende, but also abandon the states on the right side of the mountain and retreat to Yunzhou!"
As soon as these words fell, Yelujing's eyes widened, and he stared at him immediately: "Do you know what you are talking about? These states and counties are the land that Taizong worked hard to acquire just now, how can they be easily given to others!"
Seeing Emperor Liao's reaction, although he was a little excited, but not too angry, Yelu Wuzhi became more calm.After deliberating his words, Yelu Wuzhi said: "Your Majesty! Up to the battle of Nankou, Daliao had already suffered heavy losses, its military strength was greatly reduced, and its city was lost. Up to now, the situation of our army is already very critical. Strategy, has reached the point of no delay!
Qi Shuigong's opinion is actually recognized by the minister.After the defeat at Nankou, in a short period of time, our army no longer has the strength to launch an active attack on the Han army. If the war is delayed, it will be difficult to sustain it after the setback. Fierce battle."
Hearing Yelv Wuzhi's words, Yelvjing's face softened a lot, and he calmed down again, and he reached out his hand to signal him: "Go on!"
Yeluwu said: "I suggest withdrawing to Yunzhou. There are three considerations. One is to reduce the difficulty of supplying the large army, and at the same time increase the difficulty of supplying the Han army. If the battlefield is set in Yunzhou, our army's strength will be reduced. The Han army wanted to go into battle, and its military force moved westward, and the consumption it needed to endure was greatly increased;
Second, although the terrain of the states on the right side of the mountain is dangerous and solid, it can be used as a defense. However, the narrow terrain also limits the flexibility of the Daliao cavalry. Fighting fiercely with the Han army in the mountains is actually a weakness of our army. , and the director of Yang Hanjun.The Yunshuo area is relatively open and has a wider area for our army to operate and fight. It is the place where the Daliao cavalry can use their skills.Moreover, Yunzhou has been operated by our dynasty for many years, with strong city walls and sufficient food and equipment. If we rely on it and reject the Han army, our army's dilemma can be greatly reversed.
Third, among the current armies, people's hearts are extremely unstable, and the Shanyou area is not a good place to rest.Retiring to Yunzhou, backed by the grassland, can also relieve the soldiers' desire to return.In addition, if our army retreats, it will not be so easy for the Han army's hundreds of thousands of troops to adjust, and we can also buy more rest time for our army! "
After listening to Yelu's house quality considerations, Yelujing didn't agree directly for a while, but thought carefully for a long time, and said to him: "If you give up the states, wouldn't it be cheaper for the Han army and hurt our army's morale? , It is easy to give up, but it is difficult to take it back!"
Yelu Yazhi was also silent for a while, after all, the issue of territory is very serious.This time, if Emperor Liao hadn't inquired, he wouldn't have confided his thoughts so quickly.
After being silent for a while, Yeluwu said: "If our army still insists on this, it may not be easy for the Han army to make a breakthrough in a short period of time. However, I am afraid that this will be against the Chinese Han army! Confront the Han army fiercely. Soldiers here, competing for consumption, are definitely not their opponents, and it is difficult to give the army sufficient rest. If there is a mistake, why not think about it earlier?
This Northern Expedition of the Han Army is to completely seize the land cut by Shi Jin. If this goal is not achieved, it will be difficult to stop.Our army adopts a shrinking defense, but at the same time it can be arrogant.
Retiring to Yunzhou is also a way to exhaust the Han army and wait for a fighter! "
In fact, Yelu Wuzhi still has something to say, that is, if things go wrong, the Yunshuo area will also be abandoned.However, afraid that Yelvjing would not be able to accept it, she didn't dare to speak out directly.
But Yelv Jing hesitated even more after Yelv Wuzhi made such a bold remonstrance, and the tangled look was evident on his face.After a long time, he sighed: "I think that in this Liao-Han war, Daliao was always under the control of the enemy, so that one step was taken, one step was slow, and one step was wrong.
To sum up, the reason is that our army was not prepared enough to deal with it in time. We had the heart to seek Han, but unexpectedly, the Han army also had the decision to make a large-scale northern expedition.Since the start of the war, although Daliao has suffered repeated setbacks, I have never regretted all the decisions I made.
The only thing I feel wrong is that I took the initiative to provoke disputes when I was not fully prepared for the Southern Expedition, so that the Liao-Han War broke out unpredictably.”
Hearing Emperor Liao's sudden visit and conclusion, Yelu Wuzhi also felt baffled, and couldn't help but softly called out in a comforting tone: "Your Majesty!"
Yelujing's mood suddenly changed, he stared at Yeluwuzhi with piercing eyes, and said coldly: "Even if we want to withdraw, we can't easily hand over the states to the Han army!"
What Emperor Liao said proved that he had already agreed with Yelu Wuzhi's opinion from the bottom of his heart.
