A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"His Majesty!"

Yelu Hongji spurted out a mouthful of old blood and felt a surge in his chest, but the ministers beside him were almost frightened to death.

If he dies here, Daliao will soon fall apart...

Ye Lujun is still young, and Xiao Guanyin is a demented literary woman. Isn't this combination so coveted?

"I'm fine."

Yelu Hongji pointed to the back, where someone was going to direct the fire extinguishing.

"Who did it?"

The general who was guarding the food and grass came, his face was gray and black, most of his hair was singed, and he looked extremely frightened.

"Your Majesty, it's a small group of Song troops...and they're shouting about hitting the grass valley..."

Everyone looked at each other, and someone said: "Could it be Shen An..."

"It's his country soldiers!"

Yelu Hongji smiled and said, "The soldiers of the Song Dynasty can endure hardships. They have defeated the Liao Dynasty many times, but they can only watch us take care of them calmly without horses. They want horses, but they can't raise good ones in the south." Ma...Song people like this can never threaten the Song Dynasty!"

This is a fact, and it is also the main reason why the Liao and Xixia people despise the Song Dynasty.

It's like an army in later generations is very powerful, but has no mobility, so the enemy will hit you if they want to hit you, and run away if they want to, and it's very frustrating.

Moreover, such a country basically poses no threat to the outside world, so everyone can do whatever they want.

"Your Majesty, I will go back to urge you for supplies."

Yelu Hongji shook his head and said, "No need, let's go back to the teacher."

"Your Majesty!" A general said angrily, "Are we just going to admit defeat?"

"Daliao's main opponents this time are the Xixia people."

As an emperor, Yelu Hongji was at least strategically qualified. He was well aware of the disadvantages of being entangled with the Song army at this moment.

"If we refuse to go, Li Liangzuo will take the opportunity to fight back. What will happen to the Song people then?" Yelu Hongji looked at his ministers and felt that many years of peace had worn away their sensitivity.

"Song people don't dare to attack, right?"

"Song people are timid and must only dare to watch from the sidelines."

"Well... but Han Qi is very fierce."

"Yes! That man Han Qi is domineering."

"Emperor Song is said to have a bad temper."

"And that Shen An, he is leading the army this time. He may not be able to kill first and then show off, such as taking the initiative to attack."

The more the group of ministers talked about it, the more unsure they became, and eventually they all became depressed.

The Liao Dynasty was the most powerful and invincible country in the world. When did life become so difficult?

Xixia is a flat-headed brother, so he is fearless, but the Song Dynasty people who have always been timid have turned into violent tempers. How can they live like this?

"Your Majesty, the people of Song Dynasty have made some kind of gold and fertilizer pill internally. Now the life of those farmers is much easier."

A civil servant looked at the military generals with disdain, feeling that these people only knew how to shout and kill, but did not know how to look at the problem from the overall situation.

Yelu Hongji nodded, "I know, it was something made by Shen An. It is said that it can fertilize the fields."

"With the Golden Fertilizer Pill, the people of Song Dynasty have more money and food. Moreover, Zhao Shu is also a thrifty man who refuses to be extravagant. He even refuses to repair the palace if it is broken... Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

A young civil servant knelt down to apologize. The people next to him had black lines on their faces.

Yelu Hongji liked to build temples, Buddhist halls, etc., and the country had long been complaining about this, but he insisted on going his own way, and no one could dissuade him.

Those things cost money, food and labor, and Daliao's national power continued to weaken as a result.

When Zhenzong was here, he spent money lavishly. In the end, he spent almost all the accumulation of the previous emperors, leaving a mess to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen was well aware of the situation in the Song Dynasty, so he continued to reduce the expenses in the palace, saving money again and again. Later, he appointed Fan Zhongyan to implement the New Deal.

From here we can see that Zhao Zhen is not mediocre.

He was able to detect the problems of the Song Dynasty and had the courage and courage to innovate. He was truly a wise king.

It's just that he underestimated the power of opposition, and finally suffered a bloody blow. From then on, he became a quail emperor.

But in any case, compared with Zhao Zhen, Yelu Hongji is more like a faint king.

He spends money lavishly, knows people poorly... and likes to run out every day.

So this civil servant subconsciously spoke his mind, and regretted it as soon as he said it.

Aren’t you comparing Yelu Hongji to a foolish king?

Seek death, young man!

Yelu Hongji glanced at him and said calmly: "Go to Guancheng, see Bao Zheng and Shen An, and ask them questions."

The heads on both sides were beaten and bleeding. It would be useless for the envoy to remove his hair. Otherwise, he might even be humiliated.

If you don’t do it right here, you won’t be able to come back!

The civil servant sighed in his heart, knowing that he had still violated a taboo.

"His Majesty……"

"Your Majesty, the Song people... The Song people have captured one of our people and it's safe..."

Everyone's expression changed, "Your Majesty, I want to get it back!"

"This is too demoralizing. Your Majesty, we must get him back."

Yelu Hongji looked livid and asked, "Who is it?"

The visitor said: "It's Yeluhu... Your Majesty, the Song people pushed him on top of the city to humiliate him!"

Damn it!

How many years has it been since this kind of fucking thing happened?

The two armies rushed to kill each other and were captured alive. This is really fucked!

Some generals of the Song Army were captured alive before, but that was after the situation was exhausted, not when the two armies were rushing to kill each other.

"Shame on you!"

Yelu Hongji looked at the young civil servant and said, "Li Yu, go, go right away!"

This is a road of no return!

The young civil servant handed over his hand and rode away.

Since you can't choose, then choose dignity.

He moved forward all the way, and when he was a few hundred steps away from the city, a group of Liao soldiers were gnashing their teeth and yelling.

"Beasts, come out and fight if you can. How can you humiliate people like this?"

"shameless!"

"When Daliao breaks Yanmen Pass, they will definitely kill you!"

"..."

At this moment, at the top of Yanmenguan City, the captured Liao general Yeluhu was tied there naked, and he had a big character.

A Song Jun was brushing his skin with a brush. It was probably too itchy. Yeluhu couldn't help laughing, and his laughter gradually turned into screams and begging for mercy.

Have any generals of Daliao ever been so humiliated? Seeing such a scene, even Li Yu cursed: "Beast!"

He rode his horse all the way, shouting as he went: "So-and-so is here to deliver a message, so-and-so is here to deliver a message..."

Later, a hanging basket was put down on the city, and Li Yu was hoisted up and saw Bao Zheng and Shen An.

"Shen An set fire to Shuozhou!"

Li Yu said angrily: "Whose explanation is this? The Song Emperor? If so, Daliao will give its own answer... When the army goes south, you must not regret it!"

Bao Zheng is silent, Shen An is silent.

Both were drinking tea.

Li Yu thought that they felt that they were wronged, and became even more angry: "That room is the palace of His Majesty the Emperor of Liao... What do you want to do by lighting it on fire?"

He felt that Bao Zheng was a famous official and would naturally not lie or deny, so he spoke very grandly.

Bao Zheng raised his head and said, "It's all slander!"

What?

Li Yu said angrily: "Who lit that fire? Who?"

Bao Zheng said calmly: "Who knows? Maybe he is an accomplice of the emperor's uncle in your country."

Wonderful!

Shen An has been thinking about what to use to prevaricate, but after thinking about it, it feels wrong.

But Bao Zheng just said lightly that he was an accomplice of the emperor's uncle of your country, which perfectly blocked the Liao people's mouth.

He couldn't help but look at Bao Zheng with reverence.

Bao Zheng glanced at him: Boy, you are still young, learn from it.

Li Yu saw the two of them flirting with each other and was immediately disgusted. "The Song people destroyed the friendship between Liao and Song Dynasties. Any counterattack from Daliao from now on will not be exaggerated! The Chanyuan Alliance... maybe it won't count tomorrow!"

Our covenant can be broken at any time, are you scared?

"Don't frame it for the Song Dynasty." Bao Zheng said righteously: "Song and Liao have been in diplomatic relations for many years and have never been able to fight. But in Fuzhou, you even dispatched heavy cavalry. What do you want to do?"

Shen An added his sword and said: "When the prince of the Song Dynasty traveled to Xiongzhou, the Liao people sent out more than 10,000 cavalry to intercept and kill him. May I ask why? Does the covenant have such rules? If not, what is the use of the covenant?"

Bao Zheng said approvingly: "This is exactly the reason. You are shouting about friendship and doing evil things secretly. What kind of friendship is this?"

Li Yu wanted to deny it, but the Jingguan in Fuzhou and Xiongzhou were still there.

"so what?"

This is shameless.

Just like a police state in later generations, this is their attitude when the shameless things they have done are exposed.

--so what? If you have the ability, come and fight me. If you don’t have the ability, stop beeping!

This is hegemony!

The Liao Kingdom currently holds this hegemony.

At this moment, Li Yu felt a sense of relief in his chest, and that feeling of pride made him feel less disgusted with Yelu Hongji's extravagance.

"Help……"

They were all at the top of the city at the moment. Just now, Huang Chun stopped torturing Yeluhu out of courtesy. But after seeing Li Yu's moans, he used a brush to brush a few times in Yeluhu's creaking nest, which immediately caused a burst of excitement. beg for mercy.

Li Yu's momentum was like ice cubes in the sun, gradually melting.

Shen An said solemnly: "I wanted to kill the prince of the Song Dynasty. Just because of this, I killed those Liao people and then made Jingguan. Who dares to say anything? Yelu Hongji?"

The Liao people acted secretly both times, and they shamelessly refused to admit it after the defeat, but they couldn't protest about the incident in Jingguan. It was so frustrating!

Li Yu sneered and said: "Song people are disrespectful, so what if Liao punishes them?"

"Oh...hahahaha...help!"

Huang Chun over there was so cruel that UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Yeluhu actually started crying.

Shen An smiled and said: "What now? Who is punishing whom?"

Li Yu glanced over there and said, "Let him go as soon as possible, otherwise the army will break through Guancheng..."

"Then come quickly." Bao Zheng suddenly stood up and said: "But are you worried about the Song Dynasty and Xixia joining forces? Go and tell the Emperor Liao that the Song Dynasty is not afraid of the Liao Kingdom. Even if the Liao Kingdom comes to invade, the Song Dynasty will not be afraid. , I still dare to lead the army there, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty still dare to risk their lives to fight you, who would be afraid?"

He turned his eyes and looked at the soldiers at the top of the city.

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

The neat voice came loudly, and Li Yu couldn't help but look pale.

Is this a Song Dynasty person?

The people of the Song Dynasty in the past... weren't the envoys of the Song Dynasty that I met all humble and polite?

Why have you become so vicious?

With such Song people...with such Song Dynasty, can Daliao be sure of victory?

"Help……"

Yeluhu was shouting for help, hoping that Li Yu could take him back.

But Li Yu was a little lost, so he just went back.

"Where is XX? Li Yu, where is XX? Save XX back!"

Li Yu turned a deaf ear and went back all the way.

"Song people are fierce... Your Majesty, you can't look at Song people with the same old eyes."

He felt that his words were loyal and he thought of Daliao wholeheartedly.

But in Yelu Hongji's view, this fool was destroying morale.

"Incompetent person!" Yelu Hongji waved his hand, and a guard came over and pressed Li Yu to his knees.

Li Yu smiled miserably and said: "Your Majesty, it is not a pity for me to die, but the Song people... they are really different. Daliao must either destroy them as soon as possible, no, must destroy them as soon as possible... Liao and Song Dynasty cannot have peace. ...The Song people must take back the land of Youyan, but Daliao will not give up... This is a deadlock, Your Majesty! The Song people are going to be destroyed..."

The long sword slashed, and the shouting suddenly stopped.
