Qiming 1158

Chapter 372 The newly born Liao Empire is heading for its demise

The old monk had a subordinate who had a personal relationship with a subordinate of Yilacui, and they were fellow villagers.

The two have a very good relationship. After joining the Khitan Restoration Army, they also take care of each other, and they will communicate with each other about anything.

This person couldn't bear to see his friend being implicated, so he secretly tipped him off the old monk to take refuge, at least to save one life.

Logically speaking, things end there.

However, the old monk had always been kind to his subordinates. This subordinate received the favor of the old monk and could not bear to abandon him and run away, so he secretly told the old monk about it and let the old monk prepare early.

The old monk was shocked when he heard about this. He never imagined that Yilawoyuan was going to kill him. In addition to being chilled, he also felt quite angry.

He fought for the future of the Khitan people wholeheartedly, but ended up like this in the end?

He wanted to do something, but his power was far inferior to that of Yilawoyuan, and he would definitely not be able to fight recklessly. In this place, he was also desperate, and he would be a dead end if he went east, west, and north, and could not survive.

In desperation, the old monk reluctantly made a decision.

If you want to kill me, I won't let you feel better!
The old monk then secretly summoned his cronies and asked them if they were willing to follow him to the south to invest in gold. If they were unwilling, he would not force it.

My subordinates, look at me, I look at you, I feel that once the old monks have invested in gold, they will die if they stay, so they nodded in agreement in desperation.

So taking advantage of the dark night, the old monk and his party of more than [-] bribed the city gate guards, went out of Linhuang City, ran all the way to the south, arrived at Fengzhoupu in the Jinjun defense area, and took the initiative to hand over the weapons, asking the general Jinbing to convey the news to Jin Army commander.

The border guard officers did not dare to slack off, and immediately notified Wuyanpuluhun, who was inspecting the army's preparations for expedition in Fengzhoupu, of the incident.

"The prime minister of the Liao thief is coming to surrender?"

Wuyan Puluhun was very surprised when he learned of this, and immediately followed the guards, saw the old monk, confirmed his identity, was overjoyed, took him by the hand to his residence, and served him with exquisite food.

The old monk ran all the way. He hadn't eaten anything good for the past few days. He was very hungry. When he saw the exquisite food, he ate it in big gulps.

"As one of the prime ministers, do you even have insufficient food supplies? Could it be that the food of the Khitan traitors has reached such an embarrassing level?"

The old monk knew what Wuyanpuluhun meant, so he shook his head.

"It's not that the Khitan army is short of food, and they eat a lot. The main reason is that I have been restless and haven't eaten well these days, so I am very hungry. The Khitan army has collected and accumulated a lot of food and grass. If The general expects that the Khitan army will collapse without a fight without food, that is impossible."

Wuyanpu Luhungao glanced at the old monk.

"Really? Then you say, how can I defeat the Khitan bandit army?"

The old monk put down the food in his hand and sighed deeply.

"I really don't want to see the army that we finally pulled up is wiped out like this..."

"Then why did you come to surrender to me?"

Uyanpulu smiled and didn't care.

The old monk was silent for a while.

"Because there are always people who put infighting before confronting foreign enemies. If not, why would I be here? If it wasn't for him to kill me, I think I was willing to fight and die for the Khitan people. For this, I believe in the general. must understand."

This is true. After so many years of military career, Wuyan Puluhun, who has a deep understanding of the open and secret battles in the army, and understands the truth of it, sighed.

"Every family has their own difficulties. You are like this, why isn't I the same? It's just that since you choose to surrender to me, you should do something, otherwise we will not be able to communicate well."

"I know."

The old monk shook his head: "The biggest weakness of the Khitan army at the moment is nothing more than the eagerness for quick success and quick success. Yilawoyuan rejected my suggestion, and is unwilling to go west, but wants to go south, and is going to attack Liaoyang and Huining. I hope to fight here. situation."

Uyanpulu nodded.

"What's your advice for him to go west?"

"I think the golden thieves around Huining and Liaoyang... The imperial army is already very strong, and it has a firm foothold and has done a good job in defense, so we couldn't continue with the previous attack, so I just He is not advised to go south again.

I think continue to go west to the Yanyun area, because a large number of strong men have been recruited by the imperial court, the local defense is weak, and there is almost no ability to resist. If we move over, we can capture a few states and stick to it, thus forming a north-south with the Han people's Restoration Army in the south. Squeeze attack. "

The old monk told Wuyanpuluhun his suggestion.

Wuyanpuluhun nodded slightly.

"If this goal can be successfully achieved, it will indeed be a problem for us, but there are many things that are hard to say in the middle, but it is definitely much better than going south."

"Ugh……"

The old monk shook his head again and again: "Yilawoyuan is narrow-minded, can't tolerate it, can't listen to correct opinions, and insists on doing his own thing, how can he not fail? It's just a pity that so many clansmen will become his sacrificial objects."

"I can't see that you still care about your clan."

Wuyanpu Luhun sighed: "So, as long as I wait for the rest, I can wait for Yilawoyuan to attack me?"

"Perhaps, I don't know if my flight will bring him any warnings, and it's not necessarily for him to change his mind, so I suggest you send an army to guard their only way to the west, thinking it's a surefire plan. ."

"Makes sense, to send an army on their way."

Wuyanpulu nodded, looked at the desolate expression on the old monk's face again, and patted his shoulder: "This is the end of the matter, don't think too much, destroy the Khitan bandit army as soon as possible, I will ask for the credit for you, let Your Majesty has forgiven you of your sins, and you can still hold your position as an official.”

Stepping on the corpses of the clansmen, I would rather not walk like this...

The old monk was happy on the face, but extremely desolate in his heart, feeling that his ending would not be very good.

However, he had no other way to choose.

On the other side, Yilawohu and others were shocked when they found out that the old monk had disappeared. They immediately sent people to search and offered a reward. Finally, someone told Yilawo that the old monk and others had left the city at night and went south all the way. turn.

Yilawohu was furious, and scolded Yilayi for not being reliable, and ordered the matter to be thoroughly investigated.

Then there were rumors that the old monk was forced to surrender to the golden thief. Immediately, people in Linhuang City were panicked. Everyone looked at this matter with their own minds and had their own opinions on this matter.

When people's hearts were fluctuating, Yilawohu was quite uneasy, for fear that this matter would affect his status, so he decided to use the Great Law of Transferring Contradiction—yes, he also learned the Great Law of Transferring Contradiction without a teacher.

On August 21, Yilawowo announced that it would march south three days later to seize the Xianping Prefecture where they started, and further seize the surrounding areas to restore their prosperity.

On August 24, the Liao army set off to march, and [-] troops marched southward in three routes.

Yilawowu mastered the way by himself, the Chen family led the way, and Yilayi led the way, all the elites came out, and vowed to fight a hearty victory.

On the other hand, the old monk had already told Wuyanpuluhun all the realities of the Liao army, including the number of infantry troops, the number of cavalry troops, whether the combat effectiveness was strong, the weaknesses of each army, as well as the problems of army equipment and combat habits.

With the existence of this guy who knows the truth of the Liao army, Wuyan Puluhun suddenly understands what it means to know oneself and know the enemy, and never slack in a hundred battles.

So he smiled at Wanyan Yong who was beside him.

"A surrendered enemy, his role is far better than a hundred mediocre people here, and a hundred Xiao Tula is not as good as an old monk."

Wanyan Yong deeply agreed with this, and felt that it was really important to disintegrate and appease the enemy, and sometimes it was very beneficial to take advantage of his superior position to do such things.

With the guidance of the old monk, Wuyanpu Luhun commanded the army to stick to the fortress, and resolutely did not fight against the Liao army. He used the fortifications to polish their spirit and let them lose their spirit.

The Liao Army's three-way army was met with a tenacious defensive counterattack by the Jin Army, and the attack was frustrated.

Yilawoor was impetuous and could not take the advice of some generals [to retreat and wait for an opportunity], and continued to fight with the strong fortress of the Jin Army, which greatly depleted the combat effectiveness of the army.

So on the first day of September, the Jin army counterattacked across the board. The exhausted Liao army was finally unable to resist, and completely collapsed.

Yilawohu's wives, children, concubines, and relatives were all captured, ministers, generals, and soldiers died and ran away, and a large number were captured. Yilawohu only took hundreds of personal soldiers to the place in embarrassment. North fled.

In this battle, the new Liao Empire did not prosper, but fell. How long its remnants can last is a question worth exploring.

But it is undeniable that the Liao Empire, which was established less than two months ago, is almost here. Even if its remnants can continue to fight, they will not be able to return to the state before the defeat.

People are scattered.
