Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 389 The Camel God of War Comes
Along the Sanggan River, near Loufan Pass, this is the only way from Tokyo to Yunzhou.

Chai Rong rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited. Although he knew it was inappropriate to appear here as himself, he just couldn't restrain the excitement and vanity in his heart.

A six or seven-year-old was forced to go to his aunt because his father lost all his family property, and then was forced to travel across the country to sell tea at the age of eleven or twelve.

To be favored by a prince-level figure like Zhang Zhao suddenly, anyone would be grateful and unable to hold back.

Moreover, Chai Rong is still a very ambitious and farsighted young man, otherwise he would not have insisted on practicing riding and shooting while selling tea with the caravan.

Later generations commented on Chai Rong as mastering the art of Huang Lao, ha ha!With Chai Rong's irascible personality, playing Huang Lao's art in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?
In fact, when Chai Rong was in the caravan, he had no other books to read, so he could only seize every opportunity to read and study hard. The book of Huang Lao was probably the only book he could find.

This is a young man who has vision, knows hardships, has ambitions, and is willing to study hard.

He clearly felt that Zhang Zhao valued his talent, and he knew in his heart that if he could follow Zhang Zhao, he would be able to realize his ambitions.

However, Guo Wei, the adoptive father and uncle, had just become Taifu Liu's confidant. If he followed Zhang Zhao, it would definitely affect Guo Wei.

It is really difficult to choose between the kindness of my aunt, adoptive mother and adoptive father, and my own prosperity.

When Chai Rong was in a state of confusion, more than ten messengers with red pennants on their backs and more than twenty Khitan knights in leather robes escorted a man in Tsing Yi who looked like an internal officer, and was coming out of Loufanguan to Yunzhou. gallop away.

"Sure enough, Shuai Zhejie was right. How could the emperor be so shameless?" Li Cunhui cursed in a low voice, gritting his teeth.

Murong Xinchang was a little embarrassed, because he was Shi Jingtang's brother-in-law, and he married Shi Jingtang's younger sister, the former Tang Yongle Princess. Every time someone scolded Shi Jingtang, his face would get hot, it was really embarrassing.

Zhe Dejian saw Murong Nobunaga's embarrassment, first expressed sympathy in his heart, and then pointed to the horse team that was galloping fast.

"Captain Murong, go to the front and lead 30 people to intercept. Chai Dalang will attack from the left, and Cun Hui will attack from the right. After I die, don't let a single person get away!"

This was the idea of ​​Zhe Congyuan, an old fox. Yelude, the leader of Khitan, arrived outside Yunzhou City in September, and took over ten days to capture Yingzhou first, and then went to Yunzhou to deceive Sha Yanxun. Seized out of town.

Afterwards, the military and civilians of Yunzhou elected Wu Luan, the judge of Yunzhou, as the leader, and resolutely refused to let the Khitan people enter the city.

Yelu Deguang was furious, he stormed for seven days and couldn't conquer it, and then began to lure the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender, but the soldiers and civilians remained unmoved.

Yelu Deguang could only use Zhang Zhao's usual tricks, and shouted: "Where is my son Jingtang?" '

So he sent envoys to Yedu to question and reprimand Shi Jingtang, asking him to hand over Yunzhou City.

At this moment, An Chongrong is still holding on to Zhenzhou, and An Congjin's old nest, Xiangzhou, has not been defeated. The emperor can only kneel down again.

He wanted to send a minister to Yunzhou, but no one would go.

So Shi Jingtang could only send eunuchs to accompany the Khitan people to Yunzhou, and ordered Wu Luan, the governor of Yunzhou, to abandon Yunzhou City and hand over tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to the Khitan people.

Zhe Congyuan, who was old and skilled, predicted Yelu Deguang's prediction, and asked Zhe Deguang and other four people to lead two hundred elite riders to ambush at the Sanggan River outside Loufan Pass, and directly intercepted and killed Shi Jingtang's emissary.

In the little snowflakes, thirty elite riders wrapped in horseshoes suddenly rushed out, Murong Nobunaga flew out with a horse, and the longbow in his hand shook three times in a row, and the three Khitan knights in leather robes fell to the ground in an instant.

The leading Khitan knight was very experienced, and one of them was intercepted in front of him, so he didn't even think about running back towards Loufanguan.

Because there must be an ambush in the back, rush forward directly, and disperse the people who are intercepting in front, maybe there is still hope.

It's a pity that he met Murong Nobunaga. The thirty elite cavalry around him were all selected from the Murong family and Shandong Tuyuhun.

Before the twenty Khitan cavalry could reach Murong Xinchang, seven or eight of them were shot dead by a hail of arrows. Immediately afterwards, dozens of people were killed on each side. With one assault, the Khitans were completely dispersed.

Seeing that something was wrong, the ten or so post-Jin cavalrymen turned around and ran back with their servants, just bumped into Zhe Dejian behind them, and were unsurprisingly cleared away with a bow and arrow.

Two hundred fine riders ambushed four fifty people, and there was absolutely no reason to let them escape.

When the soldiers at Loufan Pass saw that something was wrong and came out, except for the corpses on the ground, they even stripped off their clothes and armor.

"As expected, Magistrate Wu was the one who asked Judge Wu to hand over Yunzhou City. How could the dignified emperor be so shameless!"

Now even Murong Nobunaga began to scold. In Shi Jingtang's edict, he asked Wu Luan and the Yunzhou officers and soldiers to hand over Yunzhou City to the Khitans. They only led the officers and soldiers back and ignored the people.

. . . .

Outside Yunzhou City, Yelu Deguang was still waiting anxiously. This gentleman was tall and simple, and he looked like a loyal elder who was harmless to humans and animals.

But it's not. Yelu Deguang inherited his father Yelu Abaoji's scheming and his mother Shuluping's ruthlessness. His simple and honest appearance is just his disguise.

This guy is very good at packaging himself, otherwise he wouldn't be able to coax his mother Shuluping around and take away his brother Yelubei's seat.

But, Yelu Deguang also has a little flaw, that is, his fighting skills are really not very good.

If it weren't for the fact that the Khitan people were on the rise, and Shi Jingtang was sent to Yanyun sixteen prefectures in a brainless way, Yelu Deguang's culinary addiction could at most maintain the size of the Bohai state.

How should I put it, this guy is the enlarged version of Zhao Er.

The two are equally good at dealing with internal affairs and political balance, and both have high eyes but low hands.

Having a kind of self-confidence in one's own military ability also laid down the root problems of Khitan and Northern Song Dynasty.

Plus, the duo are both good at 'Drag Racing! '

Zhao Er's donkey cart drifted across the Gaoliang River, not only running faster than his generals, but also making the Liao Kingdom's far-reaching barriers, even the running horses were unable to catch up.

He ran so fast that his generals thought that Zhao Er was dead, so he became known as the god of the Gaoliang River Chariot.

Yelu Deguang did not give up too much. After the Khitan army was defeated by the Jin army in Baituanwei Village, Yangcheng, Yelu Deguang also let people drive away in a carriage.

Later, he disliked being too slow, so he rode a camel himself and ran for thousands of miles, not stopping until the depths of the grassland.

The cavalry pursued by the Jin army didn't even see his camel's buttocks, so he got the title of camel war god.

Moreover, the temple names of these two are both Taizong, and both are the second child in the family. They can be called the floor-like figures of Taizong in the past, and they are called Taizong's second shame.

All in all, to say that Yelude is just an enlarged version of Zhao Er is actually a bit high on him.

If we count Zhao Er as one hundred points, Yelu Deguang is only one hundred and ten points.

This extra ten is because Yelu Deguang's opponents in history were idiots like Shi Chonggui and "heavyweights" like Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen, and Zhao Er's opponent was Empress Chengtian Xiao Chuo.

Yelu Deguang was only a little taller than Zhao Er because of his opponent's foil.

For example, when they came to annex Yunzhou this time, the resistance of the soldiers and civilians in Yunzhou was not very strong.

After all, it has been two years since Shi Jingtang ceded Yunzhou. If Yelu Deguang was appointed as an official and made a wish, and then promised not to relocate the people or plunder, he might be able to win it.

However, he just wanted to show his prestige that the soldiers came and surrendered in anticipation, but he succeeded in frightening the soldiers and civilians of Yunzhou, who dared not open the city gates and refused to accept them.

Now that this is the case, it is okay to send someone to explain the situation, and to comfort him. Yelu Deguang thought so, so he called Sha Yanxun, the Jiedu envoy of the Datong Army of Yunzhou, out of the city to have an audience.

After Sha Yanxun arrived, Yelu Deguang's coquettish operation came again. He felt that as the dignified father of Zhongyuan, he could only say good things to win Yunzhou, which was a bit humiliating, so he forced Sha Yanxun to call Kaicheng Door.

It was only now that Sha Yanxun felt insulted and refused to die. After the soldiers and civilians in the city knew about it, they deeply felt that Yelude was unreliable, and he himself didn’t want to be a Khitan, so he elected judge Wu Luan as the leader. Never open the city.

Yelu Deguang became even more angry and ordered the army to attack the city.

well!He didn't even look at it, what level are the Khitan people attacking the city?
In history, the Uyghurs in Ganzhou could not be defeated for seven or eight months. How about attacking a strong city like Yunzhou Datong?What do you think?

So they fought for seven days in a row, hundreds of people were killed and injured, and the trenches outside Yunzhou City were not even filled. The dumbfounded Yelu Deguang woke up now, and began to send people to promise benefits and coax them.

But it was too late, and no one dared to open the door.

Seriously, if it weren't for the shameless Shi Jingtang's cooperation, with Yelu De's level alone, the Khitan tribe would be five times bigger, and see if they could win the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

. . . .

After the four people of Zhe Dejian intercepted and killed the envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty, they ran back to the vicinity of Shengzhou East Surrender City, which is about [-] miles away from Yunzhou, which is southeast of Hohhot in later generations.

Here, the Guiyi Army's two thousand cavalry and the Zhejia's two thousand cavalry practiced and cooperated with each other here.

After they arrived, the Turkic, Tuyuhun, Sogdian and other tribes who were oppressed by the Khitan people came to vote one after another.

Although these tribes did not dare to lead troops directly to follow them, they helped Zhe Dejian and others inquire about the Khitan people's intelligence, and led them to ambush the small group of Khitan people who came out to attack Caogu.

It is still daring to cut off the connection between the thousands of Khitan tribes entrenched in the former Fengzhou Tiande Army territory and Yunzhou.

After waiting for ten days, the Khitan soldiers at Loufan Pass finally reported the news that the envoy had been intercepted and killed to Yelu Deguang.

Immediately, the Khitan ruler felt a burst of evil fire rushing straight from the chrysanthemum to his forehead.

(Laugh dish blah)!

This is a world of ice and snow in November!Fifty thousand Khitan soldiers and horses waited outside the city for more than [-] days. Finally, all the envoys of the Later Jin Dynasty reached Loufan Pass. They were only about a hundred miles away, but they were all intercepted and killed. Is there any law for the king?

"Call Zhihou Langjun Xiao Tiannu, and order him to take three hundred scouts to search the three hundred miles around, and we must find out who dares to oppose my Great Khitan!"

The enraged Yelu Deguang roared to find the person who intercepted and killed the envoy. In fact, at this moment, the most important thing to persuade was Yelu Deguang to retreat temporarily and wait until the ice and snow melted before returning.

But no one would dare to say that, firstly, Yelude is on fire, secondly, this winter is not very cold, the snow is not heavy, and they still have enough food and grass, and thirdly, if the wind and snow are heavy, they can still go to Yingzhou There is no time to dodge in the city.

"Your Majesty, the tribes near the Tiande army have not sent anyone for more than ten days. I wonder if the villains who intercepted and killed the envoy came from the west?"

As a veteran general of the two dynasties, Yelv Pode, who had a steady left skin room, thought for a while and said, he obviously felt something unusual.

"Take the left leather room and entrust the three thousand soldiers of the Holy Army to investigate westward. If you encounter the enemy, don't hesitate to fight, and return quickly!"

Yelu Deguang had begun to calm down at this time, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't figure it out, what forces in the west would dare to stroke his tiger's beard in the Great Khitan Kingdom?

"Your Majesty, now that the envoy of the Southern Dynasty has been intercepted, Wu Luan will definitely not obey the order. Why don't you send Jingqi to go south from Youzhou to fetch the imperial edict of the Southern Dynasty."

King Yan and Youzhou Jiedu Envoy Zhao Yanshou also spoke beside him.

Although Yelu Deguang didn't like Zhao Yanshou's father, Zhao Dejun, he still believed in Zhao Yanshou, so he nodded.

"The King of Yan, please send a quick horse to the south. This time you go to Youzhou, and you must send my son's edict to Yunzhou!"
