Chapter 488 0485 [Enjoy the Chinese Style]

After Yelu Chongguang left, Yelu Yujian was not idle either.

Let the retainers secretly inform their subordinates.

When he first defected to the Kingdom of Jin, he had an army of 100,000 under his command.

Although Wanyan Aguda was very afraid of him, after all, he had just defected and had great achievements, so it was not easy to break up these 100,000 Liao troops immediately, both emotionally and rationally.

In desperation, Aguda could only hold his nose and admit it, and handed it over to Wanyan Zonghan for disposal.

Wanyan Zonghan's methods were much more clever. He divided people, attracted some people, and suppressed some people.

Gao Qingyi and Xiao Qing, who were Yelu Yujian's former capable generals, were all drawn to his side.

With the help of Xiao Qing, Gao Qingyi and others, Wanyan Zonghan split up and reorganized the 100,000 Liao troops bit by bit.

However, he didn't dare to go too far, he just took his time, otherwise he would be afraid of arousing fierce resistance from Yelu Yujian, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

If Wanyan Zonghan is given another two or three years, the 100,000 Liao troops can be completely turned into his own private army through subtle and silent means.

Unfortunately, the process lasted only a short time, and last year he went south to collect a lot of surrendered troops from the Song State. The reorganization of these surrendered troops from the Song State took away a lot of his energy, so that more than half of the 100,000 Liao troops were not able to make it in time. Disrupt and reorganize.

Today, among the 60,000 troops under Wanyan Loushi's command, more than 30,000 of them are Liao troops under Yelu Yujian.

This is also the reason why Wanyan Lou's room doesn't want to see him.

I just want to use this method to prevent Yelu Yujian from touching the military power.

It's just that this method is too rough, and anyone who takes it will be dissatisfied.

The matter was so important that Yelu Yujian did not dare to reveal it casually. The people he was looking for were all generals he trusted and who had been suppressed by Wanyan Zonghan in the past two years.

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

These generals themselves have been suppressed. Seeing former colleagues such as Xiao Qing and Gao Qingyi being reused one by one and climbing on top of themselves to show off their power, will there be no resentment in their hearts?

Not long after, four people including Han Funu, Taishi Nu, Chou Monk, and Mr. Xie quietly came to Yelu Yujian's camp on the pretext of visiting a sick person.

These four people were all Yelu Yujian's confidants, and they were all suppressed by Wanyan Zonghan.

Han Funu asked with concern: "Is the prison guard seriously ill?"

"It's out of the way."

Yelu Yujian waved his hands, sat upright and said, "You four are my close and beloved generals. I have important matters to discuss with you today."

As soon as the words fell, the four of them knelt down on one knee and crossed their hands on their chests: "We swear allegiance to the general to the death!"

It is the etiquette of the Liao Dynasty to cross your hands and hug your chest, and there is no need to kneel down.

The kneeling cross salute is only used on important occasions and is also a sign of loyalty.

"it is good!"

Yeluyu was overjoyed when he saw this, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Everyone, please stand up."

The ugly monk asked solemnly: "General, what do you want to discuss?"

"Wanyan Zonghan plans to attack me and trick me into returning to Datong to silence me."

The expressions of the four people all changed, and they were horrified.

Yelu Yujian continued: "After I die, Wanyan Zonghan will not let you go. He will definitely find a reason to execute you and replace you with Jurchens to take over your subordinates."

This is not to scare them, but it is true.

Everyone who needs to be won over has already been won over. Once Yelu Yu is killed, there is no need for Monk Chou to stay. In order to avoid future troubles, Wanyan Zonghan will definitely kill him. It is only a matter of time.

The Taishi Nu said indignantly: "I have long been fed up with Jin Gou. General, just give the order and I, the Taishi Nu, will be the first to charge into battle!"

"Please give me your orders, General."

Han Funu and others also responded.

Seeing this, Yelu Yujian nodded with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "The Emperor of Qi sent someone to contact me and wanted me to join him."

Hearing this, Mr. Xie, who had always been taciturn, said in a deep voice: "Qi Country is a good place to go."

Han Funu agreed: "Yes, although the Han people in the Central Plains are repetitive, they are much better than the uncivilized Golden Dogs. Moreover, the Central Plains is rich, and Bianjing is even more prosperous. We can also enjoy it if we vote for Qi State!"

These words caused everyone to nod and praise.

The upper-class nobles of the Liao Kingdom have always been pro-Han, admiring the culture of the Central Plains and yearning for the heart of Tokyo.

In terms of cultural export, compared with the surrounding countries, the Central Plains Dynasty was simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

The most typical example is Goryeo, which was previously a vassal state of Zhao Song and accepted the canonization of Zhao Song. Later, he was beaten violently by the Liao State and was forced to surrender to the Liao State. However, not many years later, after Emperor Wenzong of Goryeo ascended the throne, he immediately petitioned the Zhao and Song Dynasties to restore diplomatic relations and pay tribute.

Regarding the reason why Goryeo sought to resume diplomatic relations, Ma Duanlin from the Song Dynasty hit the nail on the head when he said: "The ministers of Goryeo serve China and the DPRK because they want to admire the splendor of China and the good fortune of the year."

Love the Chinese style, these four words are concise and clear.

According to the "History of Goryeo", Emperor Wenzong of Goryeo dreamed of becoming a minister of Zhao Song: [Huiyou said to himself that he dreamed of traveling to China and wrote poems to record his events]

After so many years of cultural influence from the Central Plains, the Korean people looked down on the barbarians of the Liao and Jin Kingdoms from the bottom of their hearts.

As soon as the Zhao and Song envoys left, the whole country of Goryeo celebrated and received them grandly.

Compared to the Liao envoys, their treatment was completely different.

Seeing that his subordinates all agreed, Yelu Yujian began to discuss business matters and asked: "How many soldiers can you mobilize now?"

After some calculations, Han Funu replied: "About eighteen thousand people."

"That much?"

Yelu Yujian frowned slightly.

Han Funu said helplessly: "There are more than 10,000 soldiers left in the camp. Now they are all under the command of Gao Qingyi. We can't mobilize them."

At this time, the ugly monk on the side suggested: "Gao Fuliu and Aba each have more than 3,000 people under their command. If you include them, there are 25,000 people."

"inappropriate."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. Xie, who snorted coldly: "Gao Fuliu and Ah Ba have taken refuge in Gao Qingyi a long time ago and have become lackeys. Now they only obey Gao Qingyi's orders."

"Eighteen thousand is eighteen thousand!"

Yelu Yujian didn't want to cause any further complications. The fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

He continued to warn: "When you get back, prepare as soon as possible and wait for my orders at any time!" "The general will take orders!"

The four of them responded in unison.

Yelu Yujian waved his hand: "Let's go back, lest Wanyan Loushi and others find out."

……

late at night.

The Jin Army camp was silent. Except for the soldiers on patrol duty, everyone else had fallen asleep.

Yelu Zhongguang held his stomach and walked towards the latrine.

If the army is camping for a short period of time, they will not build a toilet. The soldiers will dig a small hole by themselves, and then bury it with soil and compact it.

If it exceeds three days, a toilet must be built.

They are basically built on the edge of military camps, far away from tents and water sources. Soldiers will choose the nearest toilet when using the toilet, and there will be a dedicated person responsible for cleaning up feces and urine every day.

At the same time, the army has strict restrictions on soldiers going to the toilet, and requires soldiers to try their best to solve the problem before dawn.

Halfway through, Yelu Chongguang was stopped by a group of patrolling soldiers.

"Who?"

The leader of the team is attentive, his eyes are alert, and the soldiers at the rear are holding weapons and will capture them if they disagree.

"Logistics barracks accounting room, go out to use the toilet."

Yelu Zhongguang said, taking out his waist badge and handing it over.

After receiving the badge and checking that it was correct, the team member waved his hand: "Hurry up, the time limit is quarter of an hour."

"Thank you."

Yelu Zhongguang smiled and ran towards the toilet.

After arriving at the toilet, he looked around and found that there were no other soldiers. He took out a small iron whistle from his arms, held it in his mouth and blew three times.

"Gu Gu Gu~"

The crisp chirping of birds came from the whistle.

The sound is so lifelike that if you close your eyes and just listen to the sound, it is almost the same as the song of a thrush.

Three birdsong sounded particularly loud under the silent night sky.

Not long after, three cuckoo calls were also heard in the wilderness outside the military camp.

"That's it!"

Yelu Zhongguang was overjoyed. After putting away the whistle, he took out a piece of paper and buried it in the ground, and then built it on top with three small stones.

The arrangement of stones seems chaotic, but there are also some rules.

These methods were all taught to him by the scout camp.

After doing this, Yelv Chongguang clapped his hands and returned to the camp to sleep with satisfaction.

The next day it was dark and bright.

Hundreds of people carried buckets and began to clean the toilets.

One of the young men quickly pulled away the stone and took out the note from the soil while the supervisor was not paying attention.

……

South bank of Sanggan River.

In the Qi army camp.

Qiu Niu rushed into the commander's tent with excitement and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from Yelu Chongguang, and Yelu Yujian agreed!"

"Oh?"

Han Zhen looked happy, took the note, glanced at it, and immediately said with a smile: "This Yelu Yujian is really a master who doesn't let go of rabbits before he sees rabbits, but it's good to be greedy, so that it can be controlled easily."

"What does he want?"

Han Shizhong on the side asked curiously.

"He wants me to give him a guarantee."

After lighting the note with a fire, Han Zhen muttered: "Since Yelu Dashi has proclaimed himself the King of Liao, I will promise him a prince. If he leads his troops to surrender, I will reward him with the title of King of Jin."

"Be crowned king?"

Han Shizhong, Wei Da and other generals were slightly startled. They did not expect that Han Zhen would be so generous.

Han Zhen had time to calm down and said: "A chaotic north is what I want to see. Yelv Dashi is a generation of outstanding people who are unwilling to be inferior to others. Even if the Jin people are driven away in the future, there is no guarantee that another Liao Kingdom will not appear. Therefore, I We need someone to check and balance Yelu Dashi, and currently, Yelu Yujian is a good candidate.”

Today, Han Zhen's vision is no longer limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place, but also takes the post-war layout into consideration.

After this battle, the Jin people will be driven back to Tokyo Road.

As for the remaining territory, he can only swallow one Xijing Road at most, and he has no energy to take care of Shangjing and Zhongjing.

If left alone, Yelu Dashi will quickly grow in size, and with Xixia as an ally, its power cannot be underestimated.

The north is going to be in chaos, but this chaos cannot escape Han Zhen's control.

Therefore, Han Zhen needed to support someone, a Khitan, to check and balance Yelu Dashi.

And Yelu Yujian is the best candidate.

In terms of status, he is a member of the clan, and in terms of strength, he has soldiers and generals under his command. The most important thing is that this person is easy to control.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Han Shizhong's eyes lit up with an expression of admiration.

Han Zhen ordered: "Stop flattering, Qiu Niu, please send the news back to the Jin Army camp and tell Yelu Yujian to take action before midnight tomorrow night. Han Shizhong and Wu Bao will lead the cavalry battalion and 10,000 infantry to respond. , If the Jin army is in chaos, they will take the opportunity to attack the camp."

"The last general takes command!"

Han Shizhong and Xiao Wu responded loudly.
