Chapter 963 Since all the scholar-officials miss the Great Song Dynasty, then...

"I want to conquer in person, no one is allowed to stop me!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty! Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Yelu Yanxi was wearing strong and persistent clothes, he was about to rush out arrogantly, and the courtiers headed by Xiao Fengxian tried hard to persuade him.

This is not Liao Emperor's Nabo, but Shangjing's Linhuang Mansion. This palace, which was rarely used except when Liao Emperor ascended the throne in previous dynasties, finally played a role.

Monarchs and ministers took refuge.

King Xi returned to Libao to formally rebel, catching Emperor Tianzuo and the central government officials by surprise.

The main reason was that Emperor Tianzuo had been obsessed with hunting. The courtiers saw that the memorials they had written so hard had flowed into the sea like mud, and there was no news.

In comparison, although King Xi was forced to rebel by Oruduo, who was disguised by Wanyan Zonghan and others, he had indeed rebelled a long time ago, and moved to the bureaucrats of prefectures, counties, and Zhulings after the incident.

The call-to-action is as follows: "Today Zuo Yan indulges in happiness, does not care about the people, one person loses virtue, the world collapses, thieves rise, wolves block the way, Xingzong Emperor Sun Wei Wang Chun, with high morals, able to manage the world and the people, to be the ruler of the country, Xi The family belongs to the family, and the world is blessed. This king wants to protect the spirits of the Nine Temples, and wants to save the lives of all peoples. This is what he did. It is sincere and sincere, and I hope that the saints will bless you..."

To put it simply, it is to let the high-level officials of all ethnic groups know that King Xi Huilibao did not proclaim himself emperor, but embraced the Khitan royal family Yeluchun as emperor, replacing the fatuous and ruthless Emperor Tianzuo.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the standard route of noble rebellion. First elect a puppet emperor, use him as a righteous name, wait for the foundation to stabilize, and then abolish the puppet emperor, or force him to abdicate, and he will be crowned the Great Treasure .

Just like when Li Yuan rebelled, he honored the grandson of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and replaced the king Yang You as emperor. After only one year, Yang You was forced to abdicate, and after another year, Yang You died young. Some said he died of illness, or he was killed. , with Li Yuan's magnanimity, it is entirely possible to assassinate him.

Liao established the country for two hundred years, and the degree of Sinicization was extremely deep, and it consciously followed the Tang system, and the courtiers naturally followed suit.

When King Xi's army occupied Zhongzhou and asked Yeluchun to worship the temples and named him Emperor Tianxi, Yelu Yanxi was furious: "The mere King Xi dared to plot rebellion, so he summoned Oruduo. The Xi clan will be wiped out!"

The ministers persuaded him hard and tried to persuade him, but with the bad news that the front line could not be conquered, Yelu Yanxi had another attack.

Jurchen went to Koryo, which is actually the opposite, but Jurchen can fight, he is out of sight and out of mind, and now a group that builds cars for Khitan nobles dares to rebel, if it is not calmed down quickly, will it lose its majesty?
Xiao Fengxian had witnessed the outstanding performance of this man when he went south to attack the Song Dynasty. This time, he never dared to let Emperor Tianzuo go to the battle to help the opponent, so he simply threatened: "Prince Xi is plotting rebellion, and there may be Yan Ting's support behind him. Your Majesty's golden body , don't take risks!"

These words were very effective, Yelu Yanxi was startled, the momentum of rushing out immediately slowed down, and retreated left and right: "King Yan wants to tear up the covenant? Isn't he the most moral?"

Xiao Fengxian could only say: "I can't be sure, but before the famine, the Xi clan was able to tide over the difficulties, and the Yan people and merchants provided a lot of support. Now King Xi suddenly rebelled, and the Yan army invaded Liaodong fiercely on the grounds of resisting the Jin people. I'm afraid we are about to tear up the covenant..."

Yelu Yanxi thought that he had abandoned the Chanyuan alliance and went south to invade the Song Dynasty, so how could Yan Ting not tear up the Wuzhou alliance?
His brows were full of fear: "If the elite Yan people go northward, how can our Daliao army match up?"

Xiao Fengxian sounded very harsh. Although the Yan army is powerful, these words should not come from the mouth of the Liao emperor, which will cause a heavy blow to the morale of the three armies. But at this time, he only wants to persuade Yelu Yanxi to give up: "In any case, the personal conquest will not be possible. This is the worst policy, Your Majesty should sit firmly in the capital and recruit loyal clans from all directions to destroy the rebels..."

Just as he was persuading, the voice of the announcement came in: "Report! The gold envoy is asking to see you!"

Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Wuna looked at each other in dismay: "What is the Jin man doing here? Call him in!"

Wan Yangao walked in, still as respectful as before, and gave a big gift that an envoy should not have done: "Foreign minister Wan Yangao, pay homage to His Majesty Emperor Liao!"

Seeing this, Yelu Yanxi was slightly relieved, at least the Jinren didn't despise him, and then became angry for a while, when he actually wanted the Jinren to respect him, he raised his hand stiffly: "Golden envoy, why are you here?" ?”

Wan Yangao said directly: "My lord is concerned with His Majesty. He heard that the Yan people were attacking, so he sent troops to help, but was stopped by the Yan army outside the Liaoyang mansion, causing heavy casualties..."

He said it very frankly, because the Jin army in Liaoyang Prefecture suffered a disastrous defeat and lost more than [-] yuan in the battle, and it was really impossible to hide it.

Yelu Yanxi narrowed his eyes: "The gold master is so enthusiastic, I would like to thank him, but the king of Yan has never liked gold people, how does the gold envoy know that the Yan army is not going after you on purpose?"

Wan Yangao said without hesitation: "Your Majesty is aware of the details, and foreign ministers dare not lie. It is true that the Yan army may have come exclusively for our Jin people. However, the Yan army will fight without announcing it. Since it entered Liaodong, if our Jin people were to die, wouldn't it be true? Will they leave directly? Daliao has repeatedly violated the Central Plains in the past, King Yan is now the lord of the Southern Dynasty, it is all due to the confrontation with the Liao army, the two countries have old grudges!"

Yelu Yanxi's complexion sank.

Wan Yangao continued: "Besides, King Xi enshrined Yelu Chun as emperor in Zhongjing, and the Yan army in Xijing formed an alliance with Yelu Dezhong, the great king of the Southern Academy. If Yan Ting chooses this person as the master..."

Yelu Yanxi's expression changed.

Yeluchun was nothing to worry about, but Yelude had always had a reputation. When Xiao Wuna was alive before, he was worried that the Grand Tutor would welcome Yelude to become emperor again.

Wan Yangao observed the situation and knew that the time was ripe, and concluded: "The Liao and Jin families are originally a family, so they should help each other and form an alliance to deal with foreign enemies. I hope His Majesty the Liao Emperor understands my master's painstaking efforts!"

Yelu Yanxi was silent for a moment, neither agreed nor refused: "According to your words, how can we defeat the Yan army?"

Wan Yangao said: "The Yan army has many infantry and few cavalry. The heavy armored cavalry is not enough for long-distance raids. Our army should mainly harass, exhaust its main force, and cut off its food supply. It can be broken!"

Yelu Yanxi didn't quite believe it: "It's so simple?"

Wan Yangao himself didn’t quite believe it, but what he wanted was to avoid the important and ignore the minor, and give the Liao Emperor confidence: “Of course it’s more than that. The latest news from our family found that there was chaos in the Yan court. , There is a trend of excitement, and even some scholars cursed the former army's defeat, and were thrown into prison by the King of Yan, which attracted everyone to plead for mercy!"

Yelu Yanxi's eyes brightened: "If there is a civil strife in Yanjing, this is an opportunity...I didn't expect that you Jinren pay so much attention to Yanjing, I don't even know about it!"

Wanyan Gao also knew soon that Wanyan Po Luhuo was not a spy at all, and it was Qin Hui who asked him to find contact. After all, even if he tied up a scholar-bureaucrat, he would have to be sent to Liaodong. , passed the news of Yanjing over, and immediately felt like a treasure.

Of course, at this time, he did not forget to congratulate the Liao emperor who had made great achievements: "This is Your Majesty's great fortune. I dare not take credit for it. I only wish to take Daliao as the suzerain state, fight against the Yan traitors, win over the officials of the Han people, and jointly revitalize the prestige of the Northern Dynasty." !"

Yelu Yanxi was very surprised: "According to the Jin envoy's intention, are you still planning to take people from the Yan territory?"

Wanyan Gao said: "Daliao and Song have been brotherly countries for many years, Your Majesty is the elder brother of the Song Emperor, and the imperial family of the Song Dynasty is now in our Jinjing. Is it a robbery?"

Yelu Yanxi clicked his tongue: "This is interesting!"

Since Yanyun's return, people from the Liao Kingdom have fled south one after another over the years, and Yan Ting not only treats the Han people, but also treats other ethnic groups as Tibetans.

The escape of many Han officials did further corrupt the government of the Liao Kingdom. They were looked down upon before, and they were missed after they disappeared.

Seeing that the Kingdom of Jin is actually going to take away the scholar-bureaucrats in the territory of Yan and pull out his teeth, Yelu Yanxi naturally feels that the world is strange: "Then I will wait and see!"

The two sides agreed on some more details, and Wan Yangao said goodbye and left.

Watching the Jin envoy's back disappear, Xiao Fengxian hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, the Jin people are ambitious. First they went south to kidnap the Zhao Song clan, and now they want to recruit Han officials. Once they gain power, they will definitely annex our Daliao! "

Although he received a lot of benefits from the Jinren, he never wanted Jurchen to climb onto his head.

"Of course I know that this woman is a lowly slave with bad intentions..."

Deep down, Yelu Yanxi still regards the Jin people as domestic slaves, and he is even more unwilling to hand over the territory of the Liao Kingdom to these Jurchens.

But it is not as important as Yelu. Knowing that the Liao Kingdom is really going to be weak, friends and slaves always have to choose a side, and Emperor Tianzuo is unwilling to give either: "Since the Jin army is proud of its own bravery, let them fight against each other. Let the Yan army go to fight, and we will take advantage of it, as long as we destroy Huilibao, that bandit slave, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Xiao Fengxian frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy..."

Yelu Yanxi glared at him: "Then what clever plan do you have, tell me!"

Xiao Fengxian was at a loss for words.

Let alone him, even if Xiao Wuna came back to life now, he might not be able to come up with a strategy.

The situation is like this, what a pity...

Yelu Yanxi said: "Once the Jin people restrain the Yan army, I will personally conquer and put down the chaos of the Xi clan. At that time, the Yan and Jin countries will still look up to me, afraid that I, Daliao, will help the other side!"

Xiao Fengxian could only make such an illusion, squeezed out a smile and complimented: "Your Majesty is wise!"

……

"Emperor Tian Zuo is so stupid that the Liao Kingdom is the weakest, so he still wants to profit?"

After leaving Shangjing, Wanyan Gao met up with the Jinren warriors. After hearing his description, Wanyan Zonghan geared up and said, "Destroy them first!"

Wan Yangao said: "Liao's domestic and foreign troubles are no longer a concern. We'd better let the Yan army take the lead. If not, we must learn the lesson of destroying Goryeo and bring the officials of the Song Dynasty first. Our Kingdom of Jin wants to rule The Liao territory just lacks such slaves..."

Thinking of his godson Zhao Gou, he showed a fatherly smile: "The Great Song clan that was welcomed back after narrowly escaped death in the past has finally come in handy!"
