Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 476 Poison Scheme and Resentment
Zhao Yanshou, Zhao Yanzhao, Han Kuangye, Han Kuangtu, and Liu Yanzuo are currently the top class of Han people in Khitan and Liao.

Brothers Zhao Yanshou and Zhao Yanzhao were the sons and nephews of Zhao Dejun, the envoy of Lulong Jiedu in the past.

The Han family in Yutian is even more different, they are no different from the Khitan people.

Liu Yanzuo is the representative of the local Han martial arts.

After Yelu Deguang was defeated by the Later Jin successively, especially after Yangcheng's disastrous defeat, these people were like ants on a hot pot, because their interests were the same as Yelu Deguang's.

If the Khitan people are completely defeated, they will get out of Youdu Mansion and return to the grassland and western Liaoning.

But they are finished, let alone under the Khitan people, the status above the Han people will definitely be gone, even the family property will be looted, and their lives may not be saved.

Do not!It should not be said that the Khitan people are below the Han people, because the power of these few, the general Khitan people, cannot compare with them at all.

They should not be regarded as Khitan or Han people, but should be the ruling class of Khitan.

This Yelude Guangjing is still a king with good abilities. After two disastrous defeats, he finally began to see clearly the true strength of his Daliao Kingdom.

That is, although the Jin State was unable to counterattack the Yanyun Sixteen States, it was still very difficult for the Khitan people to travel thousands of miles south to defeat them with their [-] to [-] powerful teeth soldiers.

Unless Yelu Deguang can endure this humiliation and manage the land of Yanyun for eight to ten years, the Jin people will have nothing to do with their lives after sitting and watching, and then go south.

But obviously, Yelu Deguang didn't have the patience, he wanted to take revenge right away.

"All of you ministers and workers are talented people, and now the Southern Dynasty is bullying people too much. If Shi Chonggui didn't have me, he would have been buried in Jinyang City with the former Lord of Jin. Such ungrateful people are extremely hateful.

The purpose of calling you here is to ask the king and ministers, Khitan and Han, to work together to punish the Southern Dynasty. "

At this time, Yelu Deguang's name for the latter Jin finally changed.

He no longer called the state of Jin Han, but the Southern Dynasty, which was the name of the northern regime for the southern regime during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The Han people of the Liao Kingdom present here certainly understand the meaning of this, especially the brothers Han Kuangtu and Han Kuangye, who have a kind of surprise that they have finally waited until this day.

Han Kuangtu was the first to come out and kneel on the ground, and said gratefully! .

"The minister and the Zhangwu army have been waiting for His Majesty's call for a long time. As soon as His Majesty gives an order, the minister and others will immediately go to the Southern Dynasty and capture the Jin Lord alive to present to His Majesty."

Han Kuangtu can say this, because his younger brother Han Kuangsi recently served Yelu Deguang's mother, Queen Mother Shuluping, in Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo.

Their Han family also entered the Khitan court as Shuluping's dowry ministers.

Among the 3000 tribal troops sent by Shuluping to Yelu Deguang this time, there were [-] people from the Zhangwu Army trained by the Han family, led by Han Kuangtu.

They haven't suffered a big loss from the Jin army yet, so they are naturally eager to try.

"Qing's loyalty to the emperor is commendable. The Zhangwu Army is my great Liao warrior. If there is a fight, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty will surely break their courage."

Although Han Kuangtu showed his loyalty, his statement was not what Yelu Deguang needed.

What Yelu Deguang needs are these Han people who are tied to his fate to give him advice.

However, Yelu Deguang also knew that families like the Han family who were taken captive to the grassland 20 years ago had gradually become grassland-oriented, so don't know the reality of the Southern Dynasty.

It is definitely unrealistic to expect them to come up with ideas, and we still have to rely on Zhao Yanshou, Liu Yanzuo and others.

"The king of Yan has always been brave and quick-witted. With the current situation, is there a good strategy? If he can offer a plan to break the Jin Dynasty, he will surely fulfill the wish of the King of Yan in the future."

As far as Zhao Yanshou is concerned, no matter what he says to him at this moment, Yelu Deguang's words "you can get what you want in the future" can move him.

Because what Zhao Yanshou thinks about day and night is how to sit on the throne of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty with the support of Yelu Deguang.

At that moment, Zhao Yanshou, who heard Yelu Deguang's promise for the first time, was excited. He stepped out and knelt down, took out a scroll of silk script from his arms and held it over his head, and said to Yelu Deguang loudly.

"Your Majesty, the minister Yan Wang prolongs his life, and he has something important to report to his father."

Yelu Deguang motioned to the servant at the side to take over the silk book that Zhao Yanshou held up, while pretending to be very surprised to help Zhao Yanshou up.

"The king of Yan and I have the righteousness of a monarch and a minister, and we are also kind to father and son. We don't need to pay respects, and we have nothing to say to someone."

Zhao Yanshou stood up with Yelu Deguang's support, and there were tears on his face, as if he was very excited.

"Father, three days ago, a person from the Southern Dynasty came to Youdu Mansion and wrote a letter to the servant's mansion. It was written by the servant's clansman who stayed in the Southern Dynasty.

But as a servant of the Liao Dynasty, how could he be willing to do something that betrayed his master? "

This letter was indeed a surrender letter sent by the Jin court, and it was signed in the name of Zhao Xingshi. Zhao Xingshi was the original name of Zhao Yanshou's father, Zhao Dejun.

And Zhao Yanshou didn't lie, he really didn't plan to return to the Jin country, because in Zhao Yanshou's position, returning to the south was meaningless.

Because after he returned to the south, he only got the position of Jiedu envoy, which he already had in Khitan, so why take the risk of returning to the south?

And after returning to the south, it would be terrible if they were forced to face the Khitan people in Dingzhen and other states.

The Khitans did not have the ability to go south to destroy Jin, but the cavalry came and went like the wind, and they still had the ability to smash Ding, Zhen and other states.

He has been suppressing this matter and not reporting it, but he hasn't figured out how to get more benefits from Yelu Deguang.

But now Yelu De just promised his most wanted promise directly, and then kept it hidden, it was meaningless.

"I also believe that King Yan will not betray me." Yelu Deguang nodded repeatedly, pretending to trust Zhao Yanshou very much.

But in fact, he already knew that someone from the Southern Dynasty had sent a letter to Zhao Yanshou, and he had already become suspicious.

That's why he made the promise that Zhao Yanshou had always wanted, because Yelu Deguang never thought of making Zhao Yanshou the emperor of the Central Plains, this time he wanted to be the emperor of the Central Plains himself.

"Chen, thank you for your trust, but I want to write back to the Lord Jin, saying, 'I have been captive for a long time, and I would rather forget the state of my parents? If the army rebels, I will return.'"

"What a cowardly thief! Do you want to betray the Lord?" Han Kuangtu immediately became furious when he heard Zhao Yanshou say that, and was about to jump out to arrest Zhao Yanshou, but Yelu Deguang quickly waved Han Kuangtu back.

The Liao Emperor's eyes shot out suddenly, and he fixedly looked at Zhao Yanshou.

"What does King Yan mean by falsely saying that he intends to return to the south and lead the Jin army to go north?"

"Your Majesty's holy candle shines, that's what I think." Zhao Yanshou said to Yelu Deguang quite excitedly.

"I look at the Southern Dynasty, the Lord of Jin is not a wise leader, and the commander of the Jin Army Du Chongwei is not a general who is good at using troops.

They were able to act fiercely twice, but because the soldiers of the Jin army were good at fighting, An Shenqi, Fu Yanqing, Gao Xingzhou, Huangfu Yu and other generals were brave.

But the Jin army is not without weaknesses. They have too few cavalry. In the first two southern expeditions, I took the initiative to attack and went south for more than a thousand miles.

Now Jin State despises us from top to bottom. If we can use the excuse of accepting the return of the ministers to the south, we can lead them to send troops to the north, to the Yi, Mo, and Ying.

I will take a detour to the south with fine cavalry, cut off his food road, and cut off his return. I will not fight with him. "

poison!
So vicious!

Yelu Deguang suddenly stood up and walked around the room excitedly.

Because Zhao Yanshou's strategy was tailor-made for the Jin army.

Only a person like him who was born in a generation of northern martial arts can grasp the weakness of the Jin army so accurately.

In fact, Yelu Deguang could do this in the last battle of Baituanwei Village in Yangcheng.

But he didn't recognize his own strength, and was eager to eat the Jin army, but in the end he suffered a big loss.

If it was the time of Yangcheng, the Jin army would be surrounded by Yeludeguang's deep ditch and high fortifications and would not fight. In three or five days at most, the hungry and thirsty Jin army would collapse.

Zhao Yanshou's plan was actually to repeat the battle of Baituanwei Village in Yangcheng.

But this time, the Khitan soldiers would never attack until the Jin army collapsed.

They can sweep the periphery first, and then besiege with deep trenches and high fortifications, dragging down the Jin army's logistics, waiting for the Jin army to collapse, and then easily take it down.

"Your Majesty, I also have clansmen in the Southern Dynasty, and I would like to write a letter to let you know that I hope to return to the South.

There is Hutuo River in Yingzhou. If the Jin army crosses the river here, I can trap the Jin army on the north bank of the river as long as I ride around carefully and demolish the bridge on the river. "

Seeing that Zhao Yanshou was about to be rewarded as the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Liu Yanzuo, a shameless person, hurried out to offer advice.

He is the governor of Yingzhou (Hejian), and he can just lead the Jin army to the north bank of the Hutuo River in Yingzhou.

Yelude laughed loudly when he heard the words, and the gloom in his heart disappeared, "The two lovers quickly act according to the plan. If you can destroy the Jin army, you will be the emperor of the Central Plains, and I will be willing."

. . . .

Just when Zhao Yanshou offered a poisonous plan to lure the Jin army to the north, the entire Henan and Hebei lands of the Jin Kingdom were falling into a great famine.

Especially Hebei, where the two major wars took place within two years, from the northernmost Dingzhou to the southernmost Xiangzhou and Weizhou, almost all were ravaged.

And during the pause between the two wars, the three plagues of flood, drought, and locusts, as well as the man-made disasters of the later Jin court, ravaged the land of Hebei one after another.

In March and April, when the spring famine was the worst, there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles in Hebei, and the ground was paved with bones for thousands of miles.

Often there is not a village to be seen for tens of miles after leaving the city, and at least [-] people have been displaced.

Outside every small-scale town, there are a large number of hungry people who can only lie on the ground waiting to die.

At this time, the Jin court could not allocate food for disaster relief.

There are still some in Shi Chonggui's private granary, but he is unwilling or afraid to move them.

One is that he still wants to spend time with Feng Shi, and the other is that Shi Zhonggui knows very well that in this era, the disaster victims can't cause any major troubles, as long as the warriors don't mess up.

The food in his private treasury was used to appease the army in an emergency.

However, the famine in Hebei was so severe that he had to take action, so Shi Chonggui sent Wang Qinzuo, the supervisor of the palace, to Zhenzhou, where the most hungry people were, to provide disaster relief.

Originally, Shi Chonggui wanted to show off, but he didn't expect that Wang Qinzuo was not only an officer, but also a man who defied power.

Before Du Chongwei searched in Zhenzhou, there were hundreds of thousands of stones that had not been transported away in Zhenzhou.

After Wang Qinzuo arrived in Zhenzhou, he even had people open Du Chongwei's granary to help the victims.

Du Chongwei's housekeeper went to stop him, but Wang Qinzuo asked people to take out [-] bolts of silk cloth, claiming that the imperial court bought Du Chongwei's grain relief.

But this price, that is the price of a good year!

In this kind of catastrophe year, food is basically priceless, and Du Chongwei was almost driven crazy.

I, Du Wenhou, you can do anything to him, but if you touch his money, it will be worse than taking his life.

In addition, when he was fighting for the official position in Yedu, he lost to Zhang Cong'en, which made Du Chongwei even more angry.

He immediately went to Shi Chonggui and complained angrily, "I'm not rebellious, and I'm not a native of Ande? A certain retreated Khitan soldiers and horses, and made great contributions. Can't you save a hundred thousand shi and millet?"

In Du Chongwei's view, he is a meritorious minister, how could he be ransacked?

What's even more frightening is that Shi Chonggui felt that Du Chongwei was justified, so he decided to avoid seeing him and act like a coward.

In this way, Du Chongwei felt that he was justified, making noise in Tokyo every day.

Just at this time, Li Shouzhen also came back full of complaints.

It turned out that Li Shouzhen had made great contributions during the battle at Baituanwei Village in Yangcheng, and Shi Chonggui agreed to designate him as Jiedu Envoy of Hezhong.

The reason why it is the Jiedushi in Hezhong is not only because the place is rich, but also because Hou Yi, the original Jiedushi in Hezhong, has been sick all the time, and it seems that he will be able to vacate his position soon.

But when Li Shouzhen returned from victory, Hou Yi's illness miraculously recovered.

Born in 885, this gentleman is also an old man among Daibei Wuxun, and he is also one of the thirteen loyalists of Xingjiaomen who followed Li Cunxu at the end of Xingjiaomen.

With such a veteran qualification, as long as he doesn't move, no one can do anything about it.

So Li Shouzhen's promised Jiedushi was gone.

Although Shi Chonggui gave a lot of rewards to appease him, how could he compare to the position of Jiedushi in a big town like Hezhong?
Therefore Li Shouzhen resented Shi Chonggui, Hou Yi and others very much.

Now, the two grievances got together, and the more they talked, the more angry they became, wishing they could enter the palace right now and give Shi Chonggui two big blows.
