back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 81

Yelu Zhongyuan waved his hand and said, "How do you know if you don't try it? Is there anyone here who can speak Chinese?"

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay, silent.Yelu Chongyuan also knew that they were authentic Khitan people, and it was understandable that they could not speak Chinese.But what Yelu Chongyuan didn't know was that even if he could speak Chinese, no one wanted to be the one who tried to persuade him to surrender. He might be beheaded by others, and there was no reason to send himself to death.

There is no way, I choose left and right, and I choose a military document.This military document was originally Han, but he grew up in Liao Kingdom since he was a child.He is considered a very learned person in the Liao Kingdom. He is proficient in Khitan dialect and Khitan characters, and also knows some Chinese and Chinese characters.

Yelu Chongyuan wrote a letter persuading surrender in his own hand, and asked the military documents to be translated into Chinese characters, so he was sent to Youzhou City with the letter persuading surrender.The military clerk originally didn't want to go, but because of the way the Khitan people treated the Han people, he couldn't help but not go.The curved saber was already on his neck, and he had to go if he didn't.

Maybe there is still a glimmer of life if you go, but if you don't go, you will definitely die.Not everyone has the strength to resist the sharp and cold saber.

The military clerk was so frightened that he almost peed on his pants.Escorted by the Khitan cavalry tremblingly, holding a small flag with the word "Shi" written on it, pushed and shoved by the Khitan cavalry, with a mournful face, he was forced to walk to the moat.

The dark night was also lit up by the bonfire. Although the city of Youzhou was still pitch black, there were many torches planted beside the city wall, illuminating the surroundings imposingly.

As soon as he reached the moat, several arrowheads shot at him, and the military secretary was so frightened that he fell limply to the ground and couldn't get up.These arrowheads were warning them not to move forward, if they took another step, they might actually shoot someone.

The Khitan cavalry said: "Go by yourself, we will send it here." They were also afraid that the frontier guards would be unreasonable, and they would shoot a crossbow arrow at them when they saw people and horses.The power of the winch bed crossbow is very lethal even at a distance of [-] paces.It's just that after two hundred steps, the accuracy is gone.

The military clerk stood up with great difficulty and felt for a long time before he found the small flag with the word "Shi" beside him. After getting up in embarrassment, he said loudly: "Brother on the city wall, I am a Han. I have something to say to your state shepherd!"

Zhu Daguang was also an illiterate person, and in the dark he also saw the embarrassment of the military documents, not like a soldier, but like a literati with no strength to restrain a chicken.

Zhu Daguang frowned and asked, "What is written on the flag in his hand?"

He called his military clerk, a thin old scholar, surnamed Li, who was originally a low-ranking scholar and couldn't get along, so he went to the frontier army to find a meal.Li Laoxiu looked at it and said with a smile: "That's a word for 'envoy'. I guess it is an envoy sent by the Khitan people." Only then did Zhu Daguang know that the other party was here.Zhu Daguang also knew the rules of the battlefield. When the two armies fought, they did not kill each other.He frowned and said, "Let him come here alone!"

Waving small flags, Khitan's military clerks staggered through the path made of filled earth on the moat, almost falling into the river several times.He restrained his mind, moved slowly, and finally passed the moat.

The soldiers on the wall of Wengcheng strictly prevented him from unlocking the suspension bridge. If he dared to take a step closer, he might end up being pierced by thousands of arrows.Fortunately, the military document was not so courageous, even when he came to the city of Youzhou, he gave great courage.

Walking step by step to the bottom of the Wengcheng, he plucked up his breath and shouted: "My military emperor uncle, I have a letter that I want to give to your state shepherd, and I hope to accept it!"

Zhu Daguang didn't want to put him in the city, after all, it was an extraordinary period.He thought for a while, and sent someone to invite Liu Yuanchang to make the decision.

Liu Yuanchang, the shepherd of Youzhou, also didn't fall asleep. These days, he was worried about the war, and he didn't sleep well at all, and he couldn't eat well.At this moment, he was lying on the bed, and suddenly he heard that the guards came to report that there were envoys from the enemy army, who wanted to see him.

Liu Yuanchang was puzzled for a moment, fearing that this was the enemy's plan to alienate him.It is not that there is no such record in the history books, sending envoys and letters, but secretly using divorce tricks to induce the king to kill the minister.The most famous one is that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Ping used a plan to divide Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng. In the end, Xiang Yu was defeated in Wujiang. The biggest reason is here.

Although Liu Yuanchang is not familiar with military affairs, he also knows the horror of divorce schemes.After all, people who are in the officialdom will not fall into the trap so easily.He rolled his eyeballs and said, "I feel a little unwell, I need to rest, let Zhu Guerzhang decide on his own."

Zhu Daguang was rewarded, but he didn't dare to call the shots. After he had the letter hoisted up in a hanging basket, he opened it up and laughed.Not to mention those crooked Khitan characters, even the big Chinese characters, Zhu Daguang doesn't know a whole bunch of them.

Li Laoxiu, the military document accompanying the frontier army, read it and realized that it was a letter of persuasion to surrender. It was nothing more than saying that he would not surrender.In addition, he also said that if Liu Yuanchang led the army to surrender, he would be allowed to take charge of Lin Ya in the north and take charge of Wen Han.

Hearing Mr. Li's persuasion letter read, and seeing that the Khitan's accompanying document hadn't left yet, Zhu Daguang smiled disdainfully, and tore up the letter of persuasion. The pieces of paper flew with the wind, fell on the torch, and exploded. Brighter sparks.

Zhu Daguang sneered at the military documents under the city: "If Uncle Khitan Emperor is so powerful, I, Zhu Daguang, are not talented, but I want to see how capable he is? I can use my generals, and I, Zhu Daguang, will lead [-] frontier troops. Wait for him in Youzhou City!" Hearing this, the frontier soldiers who hadn't slept yet laughed loudly, this laughter didn't matter, and made more frontier soldiers laugh too.It turns out that laughter is really contagious. After laughing, the border soldier who just woke up asked the fellow next to him what he was laughing at, but everyone said he didn't know...

The military clerk saw that they didn't take the persuasion to surrender seriously at all, and he didn't have the right to make a decision, so he was severely ridiculed and humiliated, and dared not stay any longer.Quickly holding the small flag, with a face full of shame, he ran to the Khitan military camp in the distance without daring to look back.

Back at the barracks, he reported the matter to Yelu Chongyuan. After Yelu Chongyuan heard the news, he was ashamed and annoyed for a while, and scolded angrily: "You are so arrogant, you really think I can do nothing to you?"

Yelu Nerugu watched from the sidelines, but after dismissing Yelu Chongyuan's personal soldiers, military clerks and others, he said, "Father, we can't continue fighting like this. All the elite soldiers of our tribe are here. In the past few days Since then, there have been tens of thousands of casualties. If this continues, our tribe will have no warriors who can fight. The lives of our soldiers are precious, and the lives of the Han people are like pigs and dogs. How can our soldiers be so inferior to pigs and dogs? The Han people are desperate? The Han people defend the city very well, we still have to find another way to lure them out to fight in the field, so that we can win in one battle."

Yelu Zhongyuan didn't know this truth, but he was humiliated, how could he swallow this breath?Originally, he didn't intend to persuade Liu Yuanchang to surrender, but he just wanted to use alienation to drive Liu Yuanchang to a desperate situation, so that the frontier army in Youzhou City would fight among themselves, so that they could reap the benefits of fishing.

It's a pity that Liu Yuanchang was too smart to fall into the trap, so Yelu Chongyuan looked frustrated.His skill level is still in the primitive era. How can he beat Liu Yuanchang who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years?From the moment he decided to use the scheming, he was already doomed to be humiliated.
