Monument Yangmen

Chapter 649

A very insulting letter was used by Empress Dowager Xiao as a sharp weapon to inspire the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

It can be seen from this that it is not unreasonable for Xiao Zhuo to be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Empress Dowager of the Daliao Dynasty, listen to the government behind the curtain, and frighten the officials of the Daliao Dynasty.

The big "抱" character written by Yang Qi was framed and hung on the main hall of the Liao Palace where the government was discussed.

None of the officials of the Liao Kingdom spoke of tolerance.

All the generals wanted to fight one after another.

Some people even asked the Empress Dowager Xiao for orders to lead an army to exterminate that arrogant Yang Qi.

Queen Mother Xiao would naturally not agree to such a thing.

Now that the battle between Song and Liao is imminent, Empress Dowager Xiao lost her face and threatened Yang Qi once with her little nephew, and then went to tease Yang Qi. Wouldn't the previous things be in vain?
The petition that threatened to exterminate Yang Qi was quickly submerged in the political hall.

But for Song Guo's request to send troops, a letter was placed on the dragon case in front of Empress Dowager Xiao.

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

Daliao, a human-eating dragon, opened its fangs.

Yeluxiu, the great king of the Southern Academy of the Great Liao Dynasty, served as the commander, and led an army of [-] to attack the Song Dynasty in the south.

In addition, nearly 30 precarious Liao people also gathered, and they went south with Brother Yeluxiu.

Empress Dowager Xiao took the little emperor by the hand and personally announced the importance of this battle to the Song Dynasty and the political correctness in the imperial city.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager Xiao personally promised to the [-] troops that all the items captured in this battle would belong to each of them.

In an instant, in front of the imperial city of the Liao Kingdom, the [-] troops turned into a seething sea of ​​people.

In the past, the imperial court would confiscate [-]% of the spoils they seized, but now that the imperial court no longer wanted [-]%, it all belonged to them, and they felt very excited.

Get rich!
Afterwards, the [-] gallant Liao cavalry, under the command of brother Yeluxiu, rushed out of the upper capital.

A great battle has begun.

Brother Yeluxiu nominally led [-] Liao cavalry, but in fact, his strength was far more than that.

The 30 precarious Liao people are actually not much different from the real Liao cavalry.

In addition, on the way to the border of Song and Liao, Brother Yeluxiu also took in many Liao people along the way.

Those who started riots because of poverty in the various states and capitals were all stuffed into Brother Yeluxiu's army.

When Brother Yeluxiu arrived at the border of Song and Liao, there were as many as 50 people under his command.

Among them, there are 40 Liao cavalry and [-] Liao people.

The Liao Kingdom seems to want to transfer the economic crisis caused by Yang Qi in the Liao Kingdom to Da Song through this war.

……

"Brother Yeluxiu, the great king of the South Court of Liao Kingdom, led an army of 50 to the south?"

Hu Yanzan, who had taken over Wang Chao's position as the guard of Waqiao Gate, tore off a bunch of beards in shock after hearing the news from the scouts.

Hu Yanzan's tower-like body shook a little, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Send someone to send the news to Lord Shi Guo of Feihukou immediately, and at the same time request the imperial court to send more reinforcements."

Hu Yanzan has always been known for his stability in fighting.

He doesn't want to win every battle, but he wants to fight steadily, even a draw.

The 50 troops are like a huge mountain, faintly pressing down on the hearts of everyone in Waqiao Pass.

The atmosphere in Waqiao Pass became extremely tense, and the soldiers of the fortresses everywhere guarded the entire pass strictly.

Some of them were timid, some fearful, some weak-kneeded, but no one took a step back.

The idea of ​​defending the country is too lofty for them.

The reason why they didn't run away was because they were afraid of those Huyan family generals with tattoos all over their faces.

Those who retreat and escape will be killed without mercy.

This is the first military rule that Hu Yanzan set up after taking over Xiong Jianjun.

The person in charge of enforcing this military rule is the general of the Huyan family.

……

Feihukou.

Shi Shouxin lay dozed in the big tent of the Chinese army in a senile state.

Shi Baoxing knelt aside and helped Shi Shouxin cook wine.

Jun Sima stood in the middle of the big tent, holding the military performance sent by Hu Yanzan, and read softly, "On the second day of February, Brother Yeluxiu, the king of the South Court of Liao Kingdom, led a hundred thousand Liao troops to the capital...

On February 26, Brother Yeluxiu, the great king of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom, came to Dading Mansion with troops. More than 40 soldiers and horses gathered from all over the country...

On the eighth day of March, Yeluxiu, the great king of the South Court of the Liao Kingdom, led an army of 50 soldiers to the city of Youzhou..."

"Bangdang~"

When Shi Baoxing heard that 50 Liao troops were going south, his hands trembled, and he almost threw the jug on the ground.

The army Sima put away the report, his face was solemn, "Grandpa, Liao sent 50 troops, how can we resist?"

"father?!"

Shi Baoxing looked anxiously at Shi Shouxin.

Shi Shouxin slowly opened his eyes, and said unhurriedly, "What are you panicking about?"

Shi Baoxing said with a bitter face: "That's an army of 50. You only have [-] troops under your command. How can you withstand the ten times the strength of the Liao Kingdom?"

Shi Shouxin raised his hand and said calmly, "Help the old man up."

Shi Baoxing got up and helped Shi Shouxin up.

Shi Shouxin walked unsteadily in the big tent, and said lightly: "What about a 50 army? Back then, I accompanied the first emperor to destroy Hou Shu, and Hou Shu had more than 30 troops. The soldiers and horses led by the old man Only 3 people.

Your Uncle Wang defeated the Houshu vanguard army in one fell swoop, and the old man personally led [-] troops and entered the capital of Houshu.

Later Shu Emperor Meng Chang had a [-] army under his command, three times the strength of the old man, and the old man shouted violently.

'The survivors are not killed! '

Hundreds of thousands of Shu troops disarmed, but one woman died on the city wall. "

Shi Shouxin looked at his doubtful son, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why I told you this is to let you remember that this war is never about numbers. More often, it is about courage and courage." resourcefulness.

If you have the courage, one person can fight against hundreds of people.

If you don't have the guts, a hundred men can't beat a single soldier. "

"Hey hey hey..."

Shi Shouxin sneered, "Furthermore, Brother Yeluxiu said he had 50 troops under his command, but did he really have 50 troops? In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Mengde claimed to have 80 troops, but did he really have 80 troops?"

Shi Baoxing frowned, and said in amazement: "Father, you mean that Brother Yeluxiu doesn't have 50 troops under his command?"

Shi Shouxin smiled and said: "There are still 50 people, but not all of them are soldiers. If I want to bluff people, I can also say that I have 11 troops under my command. Because I do have 11 troops under my command." people."

"Father is saying, then Brother Yeluxiu counts civilian husbands as soldiers?"

Shi Shouxin nodded in satisfaction, "Of course...then if Brother Yeluxiu really had an army of 50, he wouldn't have been exposed early."

Shi Shouxin seemed to think of something, and sighed softly: "That person is dark..."

After Shi Shouxin's explanation, Jun Sima also suddenly realized, he bowed and said: "My lord, since this is the case, how should we reply to General Huyan?"

Shi Shouxin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Brother Yeluxiu is brave and good at fighting, so he is not easy to deal with. Since he has brought so many people, he will definitely use them to the extreme.

Moreover, the Liao people are all brave. Even ordinary Liao people are far superior to the people of our Song Dynasty in terms of bravery.

Therefore, reinforcements still have to be called in.

Not only did he have to ask for reinforcements, but the old man also went to the court to ask for reinforcements. "

Shi Baoxing was surprised and said: "Father, didn't you just say that Brother Yeluxiu was bluffing? Why do you want the court to ask for reinforcements?"

Shi Shouxin smiled lightly and said, "You don't understand. The old man has nowhere to go for promotion now, and the more meritorious service he does, the more he will only arouse His Majesty's fear. That old man Cao Bin has been hidden by His Majesty. He has a good son-in-law, Planning for him behind the scenes. But the old man doesn't have a good son-in-law, so the old man can't follow in his footsteps.

If you want His Majesty to use my Shi family everywhere without being wary of my Shi family, there is a lot of knowledge in it.

You have to study hard. "

"The child understands."

……

A series of two memorials requesting reinforcements were sent to Bianjing City.

Zhao Guangyi cried out in shock when he saw the 50 Liao army marching south.

"A 50 army? Xiao Zhuo, a thief, is she going to fight me to death?"

Zhao Pu, Cao Bin and others who were invited by Zhao Guangyi to discuss the matter looked astonished.

With a sullen face, Zhao Pu said in a startled voice: "The Liao Kingdom really wants to start a shocking war with me, Great Song?"

Zhao Guangyi raised Shi Shouxin's memorial in Yang's hand, and said coldly: "Shi Aiqing is a prudent person. Since he wrote the memorial to ask for reinforcements, then this matter cannot be faked."

Zhao Guangyi stood up, shook the dragon robe on his body, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Aiqing, order the Eighth Army of the Forbidden Army to be ready to go. I will go to Waqiaoguan in person and teach the Liao people a good lesson."

Zhao Guangyi clenched his fists tightly, "It would be even better if we can take advantage of the situation and take back the Sixteen States of Yanyun."

"Your Majesty must not!"

Zhao Pu came out to stop him first, and Cao Lin, Li Hang, and Li Fang also rushed out to stop him.

Zhao Guangyi said angrily, "Why not?"

With a bitter face, Zhao Pu bowed and said: "Your Majesty's dragon is not in good health now, it's a thousand miles away from Bianjing to Waqiao Pass, and I'm afraid it will be bad for your Majesty's health after traveling a long distance.

And now that the national treasury is empty, it really cannot withstand a battle of hundreds of thousands of troops. "

Li Fang said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the previous agreement with the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Zhao Guangyi said indignantly: "The people of Liao are bullying me now, do I have to wait another three years? I can't wait to rush to Waqiao Pass right now and beat the people of Liao to the bone."

Cao Bin bowed and said: "Your Majesty, although the Liao people claim to have an army of 50, they are the attackers, and we are the defenders. Between offense and defense, the strength of the defenders does not have to be equal to that of the attackers.

The Forbidden Army led by Shi Shouxin is the elite of our Forbidden Army.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army are all brave and good at fighting, and it is not difficult for one to stop a hundred. "

"One against a hundred?"

Zhao Guangyi roared sarcastically: "If I could really stop a hundred with one, I would have destroyed the Liao Kingdom long ago. And let the Liao people ride on my head."

"Your Majesty, at this point, it is more important to discuss sending reinforcements."

Zhao Pu made a reminder.

"Reinforcement? Reinforcement?"

Zhao Guangyi became even angrier, "When I mentioned the reinforcements, I became angry. That little bastard clearly agreed to send troops to help, but now he backs down and doesn't move. I'm really mad."

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Pu sighed in embarrassment.

Yang Qixian agreed to send troops to help the court, and even sent Lu Duan to the court to ask for food and grass.

After Lu Duan arrived in Bianjing, he didn't care about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers at the beginning, and he opened his mouth completely like a lion.

The angry Zhao Guangyi almost killed him on the spot.

After several discussions, Zhao Guangyi finally gritted his teeth and agreed to give Yang Qi food and grass.

However, Yang Qi suddenly sent a message, saying that he would not be able to help.

Zhao Guangyi was almost pissed off.

But he had nothing to do with Yang Qi.

All the civil and military officials in the court felt that Yang Qi was playing with the court.

So when it comes to this, everyone feels embarrassed.

Zhao Pu's reminder is still useful to Zhao Guangyi.

Hearing Zhao Pu's soft call, Zhao Guangyi took a deep breath, calmed down, and said angrily: "I know... Since you are preventing me from marching in person, let's discuss the matter of sending reinforcements.

In your opinion, which troops should be sent to help? "

Zhao Pu, Li Hang, and Li Fang were silent and looked at Cao Bin.

Zhao Guangyi also looked at Cao Bin.

Cao Bin hesitated for a moment, then said: "The old minister thinks that the Japanese army should be sent to help."

"Praise the Japanese army?"

Zhao Guangyi frowned, most of the Japanese soldiers were members of the Gao family.

Since Gao Huaide's death in battle, it seems very low-key to praise the Japanese army.

Now Cao Bin actually mentioned flattering the Japanese army.

Is this trying to pull the Gao family back, or is it going to push the Gao family into a deeper abyss?
Zhao Guangyi has a lot of thoughts, so he needs to think more.

Zhao Pu cupped his hands and said: "The veteran thinks that it is appropriate to support the Japanese army. Currently, among the eight armies of the Imperial Guard, the upper fourth armies, except for the Dragon Guards and the Divine Guards, only the Japanese Army has a complete staff, and all of them are old soldiers. They will rush to help Waqiaoguan, we must keep Waqiaoguan safe."

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

The four important ministers all agreed to support the Japanese army to rush to help, and Zhao Guangyi had no reason to refuse.

Zhao Guangyi murmured: "Since the Japanese army was sent to help, who do you think should be the commander, who should be the vanguard, and who should be the supervisor?"

Since Gao Huaide's death, even the Japanese army has no leader.

Although Gao Chugong is a good successor, he has been involved in very few battlefields, so it is inevitable that he will not be able to support the field.

Cao Bin pondered for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your brother Cao Hong, you can take on the heavy responsibility."

"Cao Hong?"

Zhao Guangyi frowned subconsciously.

He didn't want to use the Cao family anymore.

A Cao Bin got up, enough to threaten him.

Let Cao Hong get up again, then he doesn't have to be an emperor.

Zhao Guangyi glanced at Zhao Pu cryptically.

Zhao Pu nodded, and said loudly: "The old minister thinks it's wrong. Although Cao Hong has made many military exploits, he can't be regarded as outstanding military exploits, and it's hard to convince the crowd."

Hearing Zhao Pu's words, Li Fang pondered Zhao Guangyi's thoughts, and said, "Your Majesty, you are not only a reinforcement army, but also the fourth army of the forbidden army, and the emperor's close army. Why don't you let your majesty take over the commander-in-chief concurrently. Then send Gao Chugong as the vanguard general , Leading the army to Waqiaoguan to help.

With His Majesty's majesty Longwei, compared to Gao Chugong, he can also use His Majesty's majesty to deter the Japanese army.Moreover, His Majesty can use this to firmly grasp all military affairs in his own hands. "

"Ok?"

Zhao Guangyi was taken aback for a moment, his eyes lit up.
