Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 674 The Arrival of Yeluxian

Yelv Bishe curled up, opened his eyes bewilderedly, looked at the dark surroundings, and was confused for a while:
where am i?
so cold!
He wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a word, he could only utter some low moans.

Zhao Kuangyi, who was dozing by the carriage, heard the movement and said happily, "Your Majesty, you've finally woken up! Come on, drink some water!"

Zhao Kuangyi put the water bottle on Yelu Bishe's mouth and carefully fed him.

Yelv Bishe, who had regained some physical strength, asked, "Where are we now?"

Zhao Kuangyi said, "The Cang'er River is still a few miles away..."

Cangli River?

Isn't that about to enter the boundary of Shangjing?

Yelv Bishe shook his head vigorously, somewhat sobered up, and remembered his situation, he was running for his life.

Having lost the stronghold of Enzhou, they couldn't find a place to hold the remnant soldiers.

The Central Plains Southern Dynasty even grasped this point, and chased them like a mad dog for two days and two nights, breaking up all their [-] troops.

Yelubi took a look around and saw that there were only thirty or so people alone. He couldn't help feeling sad: recalling the bumpy road, he looked at Zhao Kuangyi with some gratitude, and said, "Jian Zhao, this time I returned smoothly. When I come to Linhuang, I will never let you down."

Originally, he planned to sacrifice Zhao Kuangyi to appease public anger.

But his limbs were injured, and in the face of the pursuers who entangled him to the end, it was all thanks to Zhao Kuangyi's superb driving skills to lead him to hide in Tibet. Thinking of the ups and downs along the way, without the other party, he might have become a prisoner of the Southern Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyi took it for granted and said, "To die for His Majesty is to do one's duty."

Yelu Bishe looked at the Han man in front of him with a complicated expression, and sighed: "I never thought that the most loyal person to me is Supervisor Zhao."

He thought of Brother Yeluxiu who betrayed him again, and panicked in his heart.

A flash of excitement flashed in Zhao Kuangyi's eyes, what kind of character is he?

In terms of psychological tricks, there are few opponents in the world.How can you not see that the Khitan generals are dissatisfied with him?
Although he blamed Yeluxiu for the defeat, many people still wanted him to take this responsibility.

When escaping, he deliberately drove to a place with few people and dangerous roads, deliberately creating an opportunity for himself to rescue Yelubishe alone.Although he took some risks, he once again won the trust of Yelv Bishe by virtue of his innate talent.

Seeing Yelu Bishe with a complex expression, Zhao Kuangyi said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will stay by Your Majesty's side no matter what." He said with a bit of joy in his tone, and said: "I have sent people to Linhuang Mansion I'm asking for help, and it is estimated that we will be able to contact the court tomorrow. We are already at the border of Shangjing, and I believe that the Southern Dynasty pursuers would not dare to chase here. Your Majesty is not feeling well, so please rest well."

Yelu Bishe really felt top-heavy and drowsy, so he said softly, "I don't worry if you do things."
-
Dadingfu.

The historical Daliao Shuangbi Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xiezhen looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless.

Yelu Xiezhen smiled awkwardly, looking for a topic: "You were captured too?"

"..." Brother Yeluxiu didn't know how to answer for a while, but finally he could only nod his head.

He originally planned to attack where Luo Youdu was, in order to lure Cao Bin and Gao Huaide back to help.But he didn't expect that in such a chaotic chasing battlefield, Zhongyuan still had a way to notify the front line in time to continue the pursuit.

Cao Bin and Gao Huaide were not fooled, Yeluxiu knew that even if he turned around and joined the battle, the thousand or so people in his hand would not be able to make waves. Just in case.

The results speak for themselves.

Instead of catching up with Luo Youdu, they let He Weizhong, who came for support, block the way.

Nanchao's support was much faster than he imagined. It can be seen that the turmoil in Dading Mansion did not break out, but was successfully controlled by Nanchao.

Looking at his tired-looking subordinates, Brother Yeluxiu didn't insist and chose to surrender.

"I heard that Yu Yue died of illness? Now that even you are bound here, Daliao may not be able to recover." Yelu Xiezhen sighed a little, after all, it was his own country, so it was a bit sad to say it.

With a "bang", Yeluxiu punched the pillar next to him unwillingly, leaving a bright red bloodstain from his fist.

Yelu Xiezhen was taken aback by his sudden action. Seeing his distorted face and tears in his eyes, he quickly stepped forward and pulled him to sit beside him, saying, "Why are you doing this! It may not be true if you say it." There is no hope at all, maybe His Majesty will be able to turn the tide and save us. For the rest of self-torture, it is better to eat and sleep well. There is no worries about food, clothes, and endless books to read. He is a talking person. Now that you are here, you can just accompany me to relieve boredom."

He pretended to be open-minded, and enthusiastically poured Yeluxiu a glass of water.

He was so relaxed that he had already seen everything.

He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that it is not worth dying.

He hadn't proved himself to the world yet, and he hadn't let the world remember the words Yelu Xiezhen, so he was unwilling to be buried for Khitan like this.But he didn't want to be a traitor scolded by others, so he just waited here.

After the Khitan was destroyed, he became a subject of the Southern Dynasty of the Central Plains as a matter of course.

Yelu Xiezhen knew why Brother Yeluxiu appeared here, they were both outstanding rising stars of Khitan, but they were completely different people.

Yelu Bishe always regards the two of them as right-hand men, but Yelu Xiezhen has a very complicated attitude towards Brother Yeluxiu.

There is no other reason, too honest.

In order to win them over, Yelv Bishe rewarded gold, silver, cattle, sheep and women many times.

Yelu Xiezhen never refuses anyone who comes, he deserves all these.

Brother Yeluxiu always speaks a big truth, saying that the country is in trouble, and he refuses the reward.

This made Yelu Xiezhen very embarrassed, feeling ashamed.

But in any case, people like Yeluxiu may not like them, but there is no reason not to respect them.

Yelu Xiezhen enthusiastically handed the water glass to Brother Yeluxiu.

Brother Yeluxiu calmly stretched out his hand and pushed it away, saying, "Everyone has his own ambition, so it doesn't have to be so."

Yelu Xiezhen sighed, shook his head regretfully and said, "Okay!"

He regretfully put the water glass aside and walked out of the room.

Soon Luo Youdu received the news from Yelu Xiezhen that Yeluxiu's death has been decided.

Luo Youdu was stunned for a while, then said softly, "Understood."

He waved for people to go down, put his hands on his back, and looked out the window at the white snow.

The dream of sitting on the double wall of the Song Dynasty and the double wall of the Daliao Dynasty only existed for a few days before it fell through.

He didn't intend to continue persuading Brother Yeluxiu. Before sending Yelu Xiezhen, he had already tried various methods of persuading him to surrender.

He even threw out an olive branch the first time he announced his surrender, but the other party refused indifferently.

Faced with Yeluxiu's decisive attitude, although Luo Youdu was reluctant to give up, he was unwilling to waste any more time on him.

It's a pity not to get Brother Yeluxiu, but Brother Yeluxiu is not worthy of him humbly being a licking dog.

He regretted for a moment, and soon his mood turned a series of victories into joy.

The victory of this battle far exceeded Luo Youdu's imagination.

The key lies in the surrender of Enzhou.

This was an unexpected joy that Luo Youdu never thought of.

Without Enzhou's recuperation, Khitan lost the final foothold for rest, and the opponent could only return to Shangjing to rest.

However, the range of their safe pursuit has expanded from ten miles to more than 130 miles. The gap between them is unreasonable.

The Khitan's army completely let them charge and scatter, and corpses littered the field for hundreds of miles.

After this battle, it was very difficult for Khitan to raise an elite force capable of confronting them head-on.

At best, it is strong and strong.

All the people of Khitan are soldiers, and their strength is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people, but there is still a certain gap between them and the real well-trained troops.

"Next, go straight to Linhuang!"

Luo Youdu's gaze fell on the map, where Khitan's Shangjing was located.

Just when he was repairing his tired soldiers and preparing to go straight to Linhuang, an unexpected and expected person appeared.

"Yeluxian, I have seen Your Majesty!"

Ye Luxian's face was still pale as before, and he was wearing a heavy overcoat, but it was hard to keep out the cold in the north, and his frail body trembled slightly.But he suppressed the discomfort and tried his best to support it.

"Come on, bring more charcoal fire!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Luo Youdu's mouth. Years of preparation finally paid off.

When Yeluxian was in Nantou, Luo Youdu graciously accepted him, and even allowed him to work in the Imperial College, allowing him to read all the books in the Imperial College at will.

Ye Luxian felt the heat coming from the charcoal brazier in front of him, he let out a long breath, and said with a bitter smile: "These days in Bianjing, I am not used to the climate of the Northland."

As a Khitan who is obsessed with the Central Plains culture, he has been immersed in the vast ocean of knowledge in the Southern Dynasties, tirelessly studying the mathematics, physics and mechanics of the Central Plains in the Imperial College, and deeply understands the national conditions of the Central Plains and Khitan. Better understanding of.

At first Yeluxian's thought was very simple, he felt that the Khitans were capable of fighting the Central Plains, as long as he left, Luo Youdu would not be given a chance to split each other.Their Khitans had the hope of surviving in this competition of survival of the fittest, even if their strength was weak, they could still have a future.

But with a deep understanding of the background of the Central Plains and contact with the advanced ideology and culture of the Central Plains, Ye Luxian no longer has any hope that the Khitan can defeat the Central Plains, but has been waiting for a miracle to happen.

In the end, the miracle did not come, they lost again and again, until today, the main force let the opponent break up.

Ye Luxian couldn't sit still, and if he continued according to the current situation, the three armies of the Central Plains would gather in Shangjing Linhuang to start the final battle of destroying the country.

No matter who wins or loses, the Khitan people will suffer first.

"Your Majesty..." Ye Luxian bowed and said, "Do you still remember what you said in the past?"

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "You mean to place the Khitan royal family in Dali and Jiaozhi?"

Ye Luxian said: "Yes! During these days in Bianjing, my eyes have been wide open, and I know that the world is so big and boundless. Compared with Dali and Jiaozhi, who are not convinced by Wanghua, the education I have received in Khitan is far better than theirs. Now the population of the barbarians in this place is far greater than that of the Han people, which brings huge hidden dangers to the ruling of the court. Enriching the population is the only way to solve the problem, as long as our people are resettled in two places. They have no foundation here and can only rely on the local Han people. For more than ten years, there will be no mention of Khitan."

Luo Youdu said: "As you said back then, I am not a bloodthirsty person. Except for a few people, I will kill them. As long as you can persuade them to come back, I can spare them the death penalty. As for where to place them, Besides Dali and Jiaozhi, I think Yizhou is also an option, what do you think?"

Ye Luxian said wittily: "I just want to give Khitan a chance, as for where to put it, it's up to His Majesty to decide."

Luo Youdu nodded in satisfaction.

The future development is above the sea. According to Luo Youdu's early budget, the island chain from the mouth of Heilongjiang in the northeast to Haidong Peninsula, Wa Island, Ryukyu Islands, and Yizhou will form Dayu's future coastal defense line.Building this line of defense successfully will be a matter of eternal success.

Now that the Haidong Peninsula and the Ryukyu Islands are under our control, the island of Japan is like a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't be long before we jump around.Heilongjiang is similar, as long as the Khitan is destroyed, the northeast will fall into the urn.

Only Yizhou, Luo Youdu has not formally set foot in it.

The current Yizhou is dominated by local aborigines. If you want to completely occupy it, you must have a large number of immigrants and a comprehensive ratio of Han and Yi, so that you can get it done once and for all.

Dispersing and relocating the Khitan nobles, even if some individuals are dissatisfied, they will not be able to cause trouble in a foreign land.

Although Ye Luxian's move left the blood of the Khitan royal family, it undoubtedly cut off their way to rise, ruthless is really ruthless.

Of course, if this is not the case, Luo Youdu will not easily forgive the Khitan nobles, and if he does not take advantage of this time to clean up a group of them, all of them will be left for bad things sooner or later.

Ye Luxian's tricks are ruthless, but the effect is outstanding.

Ye Luxian looked complicated, and said: "Your Majesty, Ye Luxian of Liaoyang Mansion is a confidant and friend of the minister. The minister was able to break through from Shangjing, thanks to his secret help. I first persuaded the Liaoyang Mansion to surrender for Your Majesty, to show my sincerity!"

Luo Youdu suddenly thought of Brother Yeluxiu, who was almost unable to hold on anymore, and said: "This is not enough, I have a guy named Brother Yeluxiu here, who is not afraid of Aiqing's jokes, my love has ruined his talent, but he is devoted to the country, If you don’t drink or eat, I’m very heartbroken. If you can persuade him to surrender, I assure you that going to Linhuang Mansion is not necessary, and you won’t use a knife.”

Of course Yeluxian knew Brother Yeluxiu, and he also knew his nature, said: "I try my best, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not."

Luo Youdu had already given up, and even made preparations to collect his body, so naturally he said indifferently: "Just do your best."

When Yeluxian saw Brother Yeluxiu, he was startled. He hadn't had a drop of water for many days, and now he was skinny, like a mummy. The corner of his mouth was cracked, revealing red and black flesh, and his appearance was extremely terrifying.

A long sigh, a "Sunning!"

Brother Yeluxiu opened his eyes wide, looked at the familiar face in front of him, and said tremblingly, "Xianning... Your Highness?"
