Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 260 Emperor of Liao Kingdom

The so-called imperial decree is naturally the emperor's will, but the Daliao emperor has disappeared for half a year, and there is no news at all, so where did the imperial decree come from?

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yelu Dashi stood up, looked at the soldiers outside, and scolded angrily. www ""

"My lord, being humble is not nonsense, there is a real imperial decree!" The soldier who reported the news outside hurriedly said.

Yelu Dashi was taken aback, and said, "How do you know there is really an imperial decree?"

The soldier said: "My lord, it is Mr. Xiao Fengxian from the Privy Council who came to report the news! When I went to Beijing with my lord to report on my duties, I met Mr. Xiao."

Yelu Dashi stayed there, Yelu Chun, Xiao Qian and Guo Yaoshi frowned.Especially Yeluchun, his face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water. He had endured it for so long and contacted so many ministers, so he thought he would be able to ascend the throne smoothly.After he became emperor, Yelu Yanxi would naturally be the Supreme Emperor. Even if Yelu Yanxi returned, it would be impossible to take away his throne.But now that the imperial decree of Yelu Yanxi came, things changed.

Yelu Dashi slowly showed a smile. Originally, he was unwilling to regard Yelu Chun as emperor, but just now he was forced to do so.So many ministers supported Yeluchun, even if he refused to agree, it would be difficult to prevent Yeluchun from ascending the throne.Well now, since the imperial decree has come, it means that there is news of the Daliao Emperor.In this case, Yeluchun naturally cannot be the emperor.

"Everyone, why go to meet the imperial decree together!" Yelu Dashi said with a smile.

"Lord Yelu, I don't think this decree may be true?" Guo Yaoshi, the coach of the resentment army, gritted his teeth.

"Lord Xiao Fengxian is the head of the Privy Council. Since he is here, the imperial decree will not be wrong. At the beginning, he also went to the west with His Majesty. Now that he has returned, he should bring the real imperial decree." Yelu Dashi said.

"It's also possible that Master Xiao is passing on the imperial decree!" Guo Yaoshi said.

"We'll find out if it's true or not when we meet him." Yelu Dashi said with a smile.

At that moment, Yelu Dashi was striding towards the outside, Yeluchun and the three of them looked at each other, feeling extremely depressed in their hearts, finally the three of them had no choice but to stand up and walk towards the outside.

Yelu Dashi has come to the main hall of the mansion at this moment, and there is a middle-aged man standing here at the moment.He was dressed in Khitan nobleman's clothes, he looked extraordinary, this person was Xiao Fengxian, Privy Councilor of Liao Kingdom, Shi Xiu and Lu Zhishen had seen him in Zhongjing, and now he really came here.

Seeing that it was indeed Xiao Fengxian, Yelu Dashi was overjoyed, he strode up, bowed and bowed, with an excited expression on his face, he said, "Master Xiao, long time no see!"

Xiao Fengxian was looking at the scenery of Yelu Dashi's mansion, turned around after hearing Yelu Dashi's words, and said with a big laugh: "Lord Yelu, I haven't seen you for a long time! Hey, His Royal Highness Jin Wang, Xiao Qian, Guo Yaoshi, Why are you all here?"

At the beginning, he only saw Yelu Dashi, but when he saw Yelu Chun and others, he was also very shocked.These people are among the few officials with the highest status in Yanjing City, why are they all concentrated here?Could it be that these people want to discuss something important?

"Haha, we were discussing how to deal with the Jurchens, and when we heard the Privy Envoy coming, we rushed out to meet them together." Yeluchun said with a haha.

Xiao Fengxian had some doubts in his heart, and it was fine for others. As an idle county king, Yeluchun had no real power except for his excellent reputation. Why did he come here to discuss with Yelu Dashi and others about dealing with the Jurchens?The way he looked at Yeluchun changed at that moment. Yeluchun felt that his back was sweating constantly, and he was also thinking about dealing with the return of the emperor.If the emperor really came back and knew that he was trying to become emperor, the emperor would never let him go.Thinking of this, he was both nervous and afraid.Xiao Qian and Guo Yaoshi also had a bad face. They were trying to establish a new emperor, relying on the new emperor to control the entire Liao Kingdom. Now that the real emperor has returned, if they knew about it, they would never let them go.

But this time was not the time for Xiao Fengxian to worry about this matter, he saw that everyone was here, he thought it would be best if he just read the imperial decree to them, so as not to have to go to several houses.Standing here, he was both proud and emotional.When he escaped from Zhongjing with the emperor, he entered the wild mountains and forests in the west, and lived a life like a savage. It can be said that he suffered a lot.Now that he has finally returned, the Liao Kingdom is still ruled by the emperor and Xiao Fengxian.

"Is he alright, Your Majesty?" At this moment, Yelu Dashi approached him and asked.

"Your Majesty is blessed by heaven and man, so naturally everything is safe! He is very satisfied with you and often praises you. You have made a lot of contributions to defending Yanjing. When His Majesty returns, he will definitely reward you well." Xiao Fengxian said with a smile.

Yelu Dashi shook his head lightly, thinking that it wasn't that they had meritorious service, but that the Jurchens were entangled by Han people in Liangshan, and they couldn't go south at all.In March, they formed a large army to try to regain Zhongjing, but their army was vulnerable to the Jurchen, and Wanyan Zongwang led tens of thousands of people to completely defeat them without Wanyan Aguda.

The three of Yeluchun were extremely disappointed when they heard that Yelu Yanxi was safe. Just now Yeluchun hoped that what Xiao Fengxian brought was Yelu Yanxi's "legacy". The chances are slim.

"You all kneel down to accept the order!" Xiao Fengxian said.

Yelu Dashi and others knelt down, Xiao Feng first coughed a few times, moistened his throat, and then said: "By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that I will return to Yanjing soon after hunting in the mountains. You should do your best , just wait for the widow to return, raise a heavy army, and restore the country..."

There are hundreds of words in the eloquent imperial decree, which says that the emperor is going to lead an army to recover the country.After listening to the imperial decree, Yelu Dashi and others looked a little surprised. The current emperor of Liao Kingdom is timid and incompetent, and he is extremely afraid of the Jurchens. How can he talk about recovering the country now?

When the Jurchens first raised their troops, Yelu Yanxi personally led an army of 70 to try to destroy the Jurchens, but the 70 troops were defeated by the [-] troops beaten by Wanyan Agu.Since then, Yelu Yanxi has never talked about the war with the Jurchen. As long as the subjects below mention the topic of war, Yelu Yanxi will fly into a rage.Many courtiers were demoted by Yelu Yanxi for discussing state affairs indiscriminately, and even some stubborn ones were directly executed by Yelu Yanxi.

Now that Yelu Yanxi actually said that he was going to fight the Jurchens, no wonder everyone was surprised.

Yelu Dashi frowned, he had just reached a cooperation agreement with Wanyan Aguda, and now the emperor was about to go to war again, he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Where is Your Majesty now?" Yeluchun hurriedly asked when the four stood up.

"Your Majesty is not far from Xijing. He will stay in Xijing for a while, and then he will go to Yanjing City." Xiao Fengxian said.

"What is Your Majesty going to Xijing for?" Yelu Dashi asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty led hundreds of thousands of troops here to go to Xijing to replenish food and grass. Now only Xijing still has food and grass, and there is no food and grass in other places." Xiao Feng first said.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops? Could it be that His Majesty brought all the 20 troops from the West?" Xiao Qian said.

"Of course, all the 20 troops from the west came with His Majesty! In addition to these, there are also 20 troops from the Xixia people, and 5 Mongolian cavalry!" Xiao Fengxian said.

"What? So many troops?" Everyone was taken aback. They thought it was just 20 routs from the west, but they didn't know that there were Xixia troops, and there were also Mongolian barbarians.

Hearing this, Yelu Chun no longer had any hope of becoming emperor, while Yelu Dashi became worried about the future of cooperation with the Jurchens.Originally, he had already negotiated with the Jurchen, and he was also confident in persuading Xiao Qian, Guo Yaoshi and others. Even if Yeluchun succeeded to the throne, he believed that these people would not object to his opinion.But now that the emperor has returned and has brought so many troops, I'm afraid it is impossible for the emperor to cooperate with the Jurchens.Moreover, now he is also hesitant about whether to cooperate with the Jurchens. Now that there are so many troops, it is no longer worthwhile to cooperate with the Jurchens?

However, no matter what, he felt that he needed to think about it carefully.Since the Han people in Liangshan joined the Northern War, the situation in the north has become more and more complicated. There are Jurchens and Han people, all of which are extremely powerful.Now that the emperor brought the Xixia people and Mongols, things got even more complicated.If there is a lack of thoughtfulness and a slight mistake, the Liao Kingdom will fall into a doomed situation, and the Khitan people may not have any bright future.

******

In Xijing of the Liao Kingdom, which is now Datong, there are military camps everywhere outside the city, and soldiers are everywhere, densely packed like endless ants.

Most of these soldiers are cavalry, whether they are Liao people, Xixia people or Mongols, what they lack most is horses.The Liao people occupied the land of Inner Mongolia in later generations, the Mongols occupied the land of Outer Mongolia in later generations, and the Xixia people occupied the land of Hetao. These places are famous for producing horses.War horses are just consumables for them, not as precious as the Song Dynasty.

Hundreds of thousands of cavalry were making a commotion. At this moment, an army dressed in extremely luxurious clothes suddenly appeared in the distance. This army was surrounded by a canopy. Under the canopy was a middle-aged man with gray hair. The man looked extraordinary, extremely imposing, but there was an undisguised frivolity in his eyes, and countless beauties followed him, and the soldiers in the distance could not help but kneel down when they saw the scene here.The difference from this side is that most of the rest of the soldiers are pale and emaciated. It seems that they have been hungry for a long time.

The strength of the Liao Kingdom has plummeted, and it has lost most of its territory and population. The grain reserves of the Liao Kingdom can no longer meet the needs of so many soldiers.Although Datong still has some food in reserve, it may not be able to last for a long time.

Seeing Yelu Yanxi leave, some Liao soldiers spit on the ground and said: "Damn the emperor, he is well-clothed and well-fed, and we can't get enough to eat every day! Now we have to work hard for him, really unwilling! "

A soldier next to him hastily covered his mouth, and said: "Shen Yan, if someone overhears you, you will be finished, and your whole family will be finished! Your Majesty has organized so many troops this time, should he be able to defeat the Jurchens?"

The previous soldier pushed the man away, and said with a sneer: "Back then, the million-strong army was defeated by the Jurchens. How many troops are there now? How could they be the opponents of the Jurchens?"

The morale of the Liao army was low. In fact, not only one soldier was complaining, but almost all the soldiers were complaining. It's just that they hadn't developed to the level of mutiny, and they were just resentful.To watch the first release without advertisements, please go to ""
