Chapter 745 In times of crisis, Gao Qingtian still needs to step forward
Liao.

Spring Na (nà) bowl.

Twenty-seven years old this year, Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, who had just ascended the throne, is meeting with his Khitan internal and external officials and officials of the Han Xuanhui Academy to discuss the matter of dispatching troops.

There are five capitals in the Liao Kingdom, Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, Datong Mansion in Xijing, Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, and Xijin Mansion in Nanjing. However, compared with the four capitals in the Song Dynasty, these five capitals are more like five capitals. It is the core of Wujing Dao, and Emperor Liao often did not live in it.

Although the Liao Kingdom has many characteristics of the feudal dynasty, the alien characteristics of the Khitan people have not disappeared. The Liao rulers of all dynasties have maintained a habit of living in the country with all the civil and military officials in four seasons.

Therefore, the real palace of Emperor Liao is called "Nabo", which is a transliteration of Khitan, meaning the camp of Liao Emperor, and by extension refers to the fishing and hunting activities of Emperor Liao in four seasons. The so-called "spring water and autumn mountains, winter and summer Nabo", collectively known as Hold the bowl at four o'clock."

To put it simply, the spring Nabo is set up in a place where it is convenient to release eagles, hunt swans, wild ducks, wild geese and ice hook fish; the Summer Nabo is set up in a summer resort; The bowl is set in a place where the wind and cold are less severe and convenient for hunting.

This kind of behavior similar to nomadism is by no means a waste of political affairs. It is precisely because of the different national conditions. The Liao Emperor used the "four seasons to control the bowl" to discuss the political army and command the world.

Of course, sometimes it will be played off. When the Liao Kingdom launched a rebellion and civil strife, the Liao Emperor often died outside.

Yelu Yanxi didn't think he would be like his predecessors, on the contrary, he was sitting in the spring bowl at this time, watching felt carts as camps, hard fortifications as palaces, noble relatives as bodyguards, military ministers as permanent guards, and the army as his own. The imperial guards, hundreds of officials took turns to serve as straight, and compared with the people of Song Dynasty, their chests were full of pride. This is a great opportunity to complete the achievements that no one has done before.

So he wore filial piety clothes, squeezed his eyes desperately, forcefully squeezed out a few tears, and cried: "The Song Lord of the Southern Dynasty has no way, killed my mother, killed my mother!"

The lords of Song and Liao are brothers, and the two countries are countries of brothers. This only exists in the credential, and no one takes it seriously, but Yelu Yanxi really wants to wear hemp and filial piety to cry to the queen mother, which is really in line with the etiquette .

What is it called?

This is called being famous!
It's not that I unilaterally tore up the covenant of the Chanyuan Alliance, but that you, a senseless and foolish king, killed your mother. I avenge my mother, and it is justifiable to invade south!
Hundreds of officials lined up on both sides, and many Khitan generals heard this and shouted excitedly: "Revenge! Revenge!"

In the atmosphere of this group of demons dancing wildly, a mighty and domineering man stepped forward: "I am willing to lead [-] cavalry to be our pioneers in Daliao, and march southward, across the Song Dynasty, and take whatever you want!"

Yelu Yanxi looked at the elder brother who loved the concubine the most, his cousin Xiao Fengxian, and immediately burst out laughing approvingly: "With such bravery, why worry about being undefeated in the Southern Dynasty?"

Seeing the new king crying and laughing, an old man couldn't stand it anymore, and came out to remonstrate: "Your Majesty, fight in formation, no matter how strong the cavalry is, it will be difficult to break through the Southern Dynasty who wears iron armor and holds a god-armed bow." For the infantry of the imperial army, if you want to send troops to the south, you must not be careless!"

Yelu Yanxi felt disappointed, but this person was the privy envoy of the Southern Court, Xiao Wuna, King of Lanling, with high prestige, and he was the Taifu who single-handedly helped him ascend the throne, so he could only explain: "Teacher, Song people are just craftsmen. It’s all about excellent craftsmanship, but in battle, it still depends on the dispatch of the generals and the bravery of the soldiers, how about the Southern Dynasty, everyone should be clear about this!”

The peace between Song and Liao is in a large scale. There are more than one plundering on the border. Sometimes, as soon as the front foot has taken the New Year coins, they will go to the Song Dynasty to plunder later. The government is still full of singing and dancing.

The Northern Army didn't bother to stand up for the people on the frontier. Over time, the Liao people also saw this deception and became more reckless.

Of course Xiao Wuna knew that the Northern Army of the Song people was indeed corrupt, but he still felt that sending troops was not a wise move considering the overall situation, and advised him: "Your Majesty, the deployment of troops must not only be famous, but also profitable!"

"The high city and deep pool of the Song Dynasty are difficult to conquer. If we do not seek the land and simply plunder, what we will gain is not even as good as the losses caused by the closing of the two dynasties. The way is self-breaking, and the yearly coins are not available. What is it for?"

As soon as they heard that the market was closed and the two countries suspended the handover, many Khitan officials' expressions changed slightly. They were used to the tea, silk, and fragrant medicines of the Southern Dynasties, but now they are suddenly gone. Not to mention their own enjoyment, the business they do is also To discount.

Yelu Yanxi's complexion also changed, but he couldn't hide his anger. His real purpose was to seize land, even enter Kaifeng, and destroy the Southern Dynasty. It's really hateful to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand!

Just thinking about such a refutation, a figure suddenly rushed out, fell to the ground, and made a sad voice: "Your Majesty the Liao Emperor, I am willing to use all the warriors of the party to contain the Song people's western army, and only want to regain Hengshan. It was all taken by Daliao!"

"Okay! With this help, why worry about the failure of the big thing?"

Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed, then stared at Xiao Wuna with wide eyes, "Does the King of Lanling still think that our Khitan warriors will be defeated by the Song people in this battle?"

Facing the fierce light of the Liao Emperor, Xiao Wuna sighed secretly, and hurriedly retreated.

However, after this, the ministers of the Liao Kingdom who were a little shaken at first also felt that this battle had a lot to do. After all, Xixia will really fight this time.

Because this country is really in a crisis of life and death, and Hengshan will not be able to keep it.

The land of Hengshan was originally Song You, and Zhenzong together with Ling and Xia two prefectures were awarded Deming. Since then, Dangxiang has truly established the foundation of the country. This place is not only dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also the foundation of agriculture and animal husbandry. An important source of salt and iron, there is also the Hengshan Qiang, the most elite army of Xixia.

To use a direct analogy, Hengshan is to Xixia what Youyun Sixteen Prefectures are to Liao. It can be attacked and defended. It is also an important agricultural and economic base.

The Great Song Dynasty, which lost Hengshan, was also extremely passive strategically. Many counties in the northwest were always under the threat of the Xixia Army. Due to poor mobility and poor rescue, they had to divide their troops to garrison, giving the Xixia Army a chance to defeat them one by one. Sanchuankou, The three famous defeats in Haoshuichuan and Dingchuanzhai were all caused by Li Yuanhao's advantage of maneuvering and encircling the few.

But now, after fifty years, after Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong, Zhezong, and now the Five Dynasties, with the efforts of countless famous ministers and generals, the Song army is finally about to take Hengshan.

Once the Song people completely occupy Hengshan, the demise of Xixia is only a matter of time, and the party members will naturally fight back desperately. Yelu Yanxi also said very directly: "Xixia is unable to counterattack, as long as the most elite Western Army in the Southern Dynasty is dragged to the northwest." , the land of Hengshan, I allow you to take it back!
The Xixia envoys were overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "Holy Lord of Daliao! Holy Lord of Daliao!"

Yelu Yanxi's sense of superiority welled up, and he laughed again: "Haha! Good! Good!"

It's not that he gets carried away after being praised by a few good words, but because Li Ganshun, the current lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, succeeded to the throne when he was young, and has always been a puppet in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang. Later, it was his father who sent people to Xia to poison the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang , ordered Li Qianshun to be in charge, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the current Xixia monarch is supported by the Liao people.

At this time, looking at the appearance of the Xixia envoys begging in every possible way, Yelu Yanxi felt the pleasure of holding his own hunting dog, sharpening the knife and rushing at the pigs and sheep. In the Song Dynasty, because of the lack of morality, if the people of the Song Dynasty wish to send Zhao Ji to the capital of Daliao, then let it go, otherwise our Daliao cavalry will go straight to Kaifeng and avenge my mother!"

……

"Ridiculous!! Ridiculous!!"

In the Bianjing Imperial Palace, Zhao Ji threw the letter of credence out violently, trembling with anger, his blood surged up, his mouth was fishy and sweet, and he almost vomited blood again.

The reason why he didn't really vomit blood was not because he controlled his emotions well, but because after anger, there was fear.

Hot Search has gone abroad, it is a shame and shame to be used by the Khitan barbarians in this way!
Zhao Ji can fully imagine what kind of uproar it will cause once this letter of credence is announced to the world.

The public discussion suddenly became an excuse for the two countries to go to war. Neither the ordinary people nor the scholar-official class could accept this kind of scandal.

He doesn't care about the people, but the scholar-bureaucrat class controls the real power. If they unite to do what Yihuo did, they will really be able to remove him from the throne!

Fortunately, Zhezong did not leave a will. Among the sons of Shenzong, except for him and the former Jian Wang Zhao Si, there is really no one who is suitable to inherit the throne. None of the courtiers has the absolute prestige to support the new emperor to the throne. If the new party elects one, the old party will definitely disagree, and vice versa.

"Who... who can share my worries?"

But even so, his status is in jeopardy, especially in the case of foreign invasion, so Zhao Ji swallowed the blood forcefully, muttering, and then immediately found the Queen Wang.

Husband and wife are one, no matter what, they are all prosperous, and all are damaged, especially when the queen gave birth to the eldest son, if not for him, then for her own son.

When he came to the harem, he saw the emaciated Wang family.

The empress manages the harem, and now the eunuchs in the palace are being massacred, but the turmoil has not been quelled. The servants in the palace are terrified on the surface, but they are still talking about it behind their backs, which makes the empress anxious. But hearing the husband's request, she also Inevitably, the beauty turned pale, and the first reaction was: "Your Majesty, this matter should be discussed with a high-ranking officer!"

Zhao Ji fell silent.

Ever since King Jian's coup, he always felt a thorn in his heart, and Gao Lian's massacre of the servant made him even more vigilant.

But when it really came to a critical moment, Zhao Ji suddenly discovered that all he could rely on now was really only his Cuju playmate, who was called Gao Qingtian's loyal minister by the people!

"Recruit Gao Qiu, the governor of the imperial city, into the palace!"
