Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 259 Tianfang Night Talk, Laughing and Stealing the Country

At nightfall, today's war damage has been counted in the city gates of the Liao Kingdom, and a banquet was set up in the city lord's mansion to celebrate this great victory.

During the banquet, some of the generals who accompanied the last seat couldn't help covering their faces and weeping while they were happy.

"God bless me Daliao, really God bless me Daliao!"

This person was crying, but the others never laughed at him, instead they all restrained their smiles, felt the same feeling vaguely, and sighed endlessly.

When Han Shizhong commanded his troops to cross the Jiehe River, the generals in the Liao Army were high-spirited, determined to make contributions in this battle, and leave a legacy in the annals of the Liao Dynasty that will be remembered by future generations.

However, these days after battle after battle, Han Shizhong's soldiers and horses are like dragons returning to the sea and tigers entering the mountains. There is no trace of the weak habit of the southerners. territory.

These generals in the Liao army raised their fighting spirit and failed;

Attack, retreat, surprise attack, stick to it, break the back, defeat defeat defeat defeat defeat.

The enemy's turbulent offensive has almost destroyed the spirit of the Liao generals. This city gate is their last reliance, but they are also trembling and fearful all day long. They don't know when the city gate will be broken and Youzhou will be lost. , All the way back to the hinterland of Liao.

But this time, they actually won!

It's no wonder that some people wept with joy, among the three armies of the Liao Dynasty, it was not only the few generals at the banquet who were crying at this moment.

General Tian Shanyong of the Liao Kingdom, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, was a man of iron, opened his mouth like a washbasin, chewed a beef leg with bones and meat in two or three mouthfuls, exhaled satiatedly, and said: "Who would have expected that there would be such a shameless and suspicious king like a hungry ghost in the world?"

"At the moment of the war, even if the king and general are at odds, you can wait until after the withdrawal of the troops, and then slowly try to concoct it. Even if you want to replace the commander-in-chief just before the battle, that's all right. But that guy, he didn't hesitate to entrap Han Shizhong with [-] elite soldiers! Ha, Ha ha ha ha!"

When Tian Shanyong said this, he couldn't help laughing loudly, holding his belly with his hands, and his whole body trembled from laughing.

"I knew this, haha, I knew this, why did the commander send someone to find Liangshan to form an alliance, he should have sent some gold, jewels and treasures to Bianliang, and let the emperor stab a knife in the back. Even on the other side of the boundary river, our Daliao flag will be planted."

Wu Yanguang gulped down his wine, shook his head and said: "Han Shizhong is certainly a man of ten thousand deaths, but even if he was struck to death by lightning while walking on the road, choked to death by drinking water, or choked to death by eating, he shouldn't be killed like this by their emperor. "

"And he was able to escape from the city, which is the best of both worlds. He doesn't have to watch the hero being killed by the rats, but also makes him live in endless hellish regrets for the rest of his life, and also comforts me. In the spirit of heaven."

Wu Yanguang filled both wine glasses with wine, stood up with both glasses in his hands, raised the glass in his left hand forward first, and said, "Everyone, this glass of wine should be used to sacrifice the warriors who died in the bloody battle of Daliao! "

Many generals toasted together, poured the wine on the floor of the City Lord's Mansion, seeped into the cracks in the planks, and flowed wantonly.

Wu Yanguang put down the empty cup in his left hand, then raised the cup in his right hand, and said to the gray-faced man, "This second cup is for the great warrior Yeluhui!"

This grey-haired man only came to the city a few days ago to serve. He claimed to have lived in seclusion in the mountains for a long time.

Not only did he speak amazingly, but his martial arts were even more extraordinary. He didn't have any official position in him, and he subdued several generals one after another with only his magic skills and bare hands.

Wu Yanguang went into battle fully clothed, taking advantage of weapons and luck, but he was only on equal terms with this person.

Yeluhui, the superintendent, was shocked by this, and was treated with extreme courtesy, so he arranged for the generals to set up an ambush according to Yeluhui's plan, and it really succeeded in one fell swoop.

Facing the toast of the generals, the iron gray man drank a glass slowly, without being surprised.

Wu Yanguang said with emotion: "We have also heard many rumors about the Song emperor, but rumors have always been exaggerated, or even fabricated out of thin air, so it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false."

"Besides, after he ascended the throne, the soldiers and horses of the people of Song Dynasty were really powerful, and they even made great achievements in destroying Xia. It was never expected that he was such an absurd person. But I don't know how you see through this point, knowing that he is eager to Get rid of Han Shizhong, do you not hesitate to do such a ridiculous move?"

The iron-grey man said calmly: "When looking at a person's temperament, you can't look at it from the general trend, but from a small point of view. Although there are many rumors about the emperor of Song Dynasty, the so-called groundless rumors may not be without reason, and you must not completely believe it. Especially as a The king's people often deliberately show benevolence, courtesy, generosity, or violence, favor, and partiality, just to stabilize the emperor's supreme authority, and only the small reveals may be the true temperament."

"I have collected a lot of rumors about the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and I see that he is actually a mean, ungrateful and suspicious person. If the situation is right, even if he is facing a long-term general and a person with military power, he can laugh it off and leave a good name. It is convenient to catch more loyal people. However, the civil strife in the Song Kingdom is frequent now, and Han Shizhong suddenly found an excuse to command all the frontier troops and invade the territory of the Liao Kingdom. For the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, it is obviously an extremely bad time .”

He drank another glass of wine, and said with a low laugh, "When I came here yesterday, I climbed up and looked out, and saw the five-colored clouds rolling by Emperor Song, but there was no guard of honor and personal guards accompanying him, so I confirmed my guess before making a deduction .”

All the generals nodded one after another, and Wu Yanguang said: "I think I have both civil and military skills, and I am in the position of commander. It's not as good as you can see clearly. God blesses Daliao for being so talented to join our army. Come, respect again, commander You drink."

Just as Wu Yanguang raised his glass, a very excited voice came from outside.

"It's not God bless Daliao, it's my grand ancestor emperor of Daliao who blesses Daliao!"

Yelv Dezhong, Prince of Liao Kingdom, rushed over from outside. When he saw the gray man, tears welled up in his eyes. He stepped forward and knelt down.

Everyone was surprised.

Wu Yanguang frowned and said: "My lord, today you are celebrating your victory. You came late and neglected our great hero. You should be punished. But you are the brother of the Holy One with a noble status, so you shouldn't give such a big gift lightly."

Yelv Dezhong turned back angrily, "What do you know, this is..."

Seeing that there were many people in the hall, he paused and ordered, "Everyone else get out."

Everyone showed astonishment and looked at Wu Yanguang.

Wu Yanguang said helplessly: "It's time for you to go out and have fun with the soldiers, go first."

After everyone left, Yelu Dezhong even sent someone to guard the outside of the hall and cast spells to isolate the sound from inside and outside. Then he knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to the iron-grey man, bowing five bodies to the ground.

"The children and grandchildren of the later generations are honored by Yelu, and the three lives are lucky to meet the emperor Taizu of the Daliao Dynasty!"

Wu Yanguang's complexion changed drastically, and he stepped out from behind the table in a fright, and scolded: "My lord, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't be presumptuous in front of Emperor Taizu."

Yelude did not look back, took out a scroll of pictures from his sleeve, took them out with both hands, knocked his forehead on the ground again, arched his buttocks, and said, "When Emperor Taizu came to the barracks, although he wanted to hide his clumsiness, but The method used is vaguely the number of methods in the "Twelve Volumes of the Tang Dynasty", which is the magical power of my Daliao Township, and it is a realm that can only be touched by the royal lineage above the fourth level of the treasure bone gods and demons. No one has completed it for a hundred years."

"It's a shame that I didn't recognize Emperor Taizu immediately, and I still had a lot of doubts in my heart. After careful observation, I saw Taizu's dragon walking like a tiger, his skin like a sacred rock, his leopard's neck looking back, etc. There are many visions and royal secrets. The records in it are one by one, and when I dream at night, there are all kinds of auspicious signs, and I can't tell them all at once."

"That's when I thought of sending someone back to ask for the only picture of Shen Yun's true face hidden in the royal treasure house."

When Wu Yanguang heard this, he was already dumbfounded.

The royal family of the Liao Kingdom was always in conflict with each other. There were only five volumes of the authentic scrolls left by Yelu Abaoji, the ancestor of the Liao Dynasty, and three volumes were lost. owned by the emperor.

It is a great honor among the high-level leaders of the Liao Kingdom to pay their respects to Yelu Abaoji's charm and true appearance.Even Wu Yanguang had only seen him twice before with the emperor's permission.

The picture scroll that Yelude was holding so heavily opened suddenly, and a strange light shot out from the picture, which was reflected on the iron-gray man.

The martial arts charm of Liao Taizu in the picture is indeed very kind to this iron gray man.

"Sure enough, sure enough, apart from Emperor Taizu, who would have such unrivaled martial arts, who would take pity on my dangerous situation in Daliao!"

Yelu had to kowtow again and again.

Wu Yanguang no longer dared to doubt, knelt down and paid respects.

The iron-gray man shook his head and sighed: "Get up. I was originally in the wind of the Nine Heavens. I woke up because I sensed the movement of the Great Liao Kingdom and it was about to decline. I came down to take a look. However, I am an old man. The king of the sun, if he appeared rashly, he might cause riots. Then he withdrew his name and called himself Yeluhui, which means the Yelu clan's glory."

Yelu Dezhong had tears streaming down his face, choked with sobs, and said: "Emperor Taizu is benevolent, but Yelu Yanxi, who is sitting on the throne now, does not have the slightest appearance of a monarch. He is vacillating and has no opinion. After listening, the treacherous minister persuaded him, and he listened again."

"Afraid of us being loyal and good, but favoring the eunuchs, and making fun of the world, I implore the Emperor Taizu to set things right, regain the throne, and lead me to the glory of the Daliao Dynasty."

The grey-haired man's face moved: "Is the current emperor of Liao really as miserable as you say?"

He seemed a little disbelieving, and looked at Wu Yanguang.

Wu Yanguang hesitated for a moment, Yelu Yanxi was indeed soft-hearted, but he was very kind to him.

but!The direction of Han Shizhong's troops, Yelu Yanxi's arrogance and surprise, the order changed from day to day, flustered, and it was of no help to the front line. Even if such an emperor was kept, what reputation would he leave behind?And the person in front of him, the Taizu emperor who founded Daliao...

"What the prince said is true."

Wu Yanguang's heart became hot, and he bowed to the end, "I implore the Emperor Taizu to put down the war between Song and Liao first, and then make things right."

The iron-grey man sighed thoughtfully: "Forget it. Although the Song people lost a general like Han Shizhong, they only lost [-] elite soldiers, while our Daliao has suffered more than [-] injuries. A truce is the right way. Fortunately, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is eager to go back to put down the rebellion, so he will not make more entanglements."

"Immediately draw up a peace treaty, submit it to me for review, and discuss peace with Song Dynasty. After that, I will go and see how Yelu Yanxi is doing."

Yelu was overjoyed and thankful again.

Wu Yanguang took the initiative to give the city lord's mansion to the iron gray man to rest. He and Yelu had to go to the side hall first to convene the generals to discuss matters.

Seeing their leaving backs, the iron gray man flicked his sleeves and sat back behind the wine table, laughing inwardly.

If a dynasty's state movement is in turmoil, and when it is about to decline, it can wake up those magic masters who chased after the sun, then when the Great Tang Dynasty fell, at least thirty or forty precious bone gods and demons would fall from the sky. Swept across Kyushu and reorganized the rivers and mountains.

But the facts have proved that even Zhao Kuangyin, who is relatively young, suffers from erysipelas, and rises slowly in the strong wind, can barely be awakened by the active induction of the Emperor of Heaven.

As for the emperor of Tianming, who took advantage of the east wind of the revival of the evil way, and had to support the whole country, and the luck of the dynasty was chaotic and unfailing, and the strange phenomenon of resentment but never giving up, no one in the Liao Kingdom could do it.

This is a flaw.

But it doesn't matter.

If a powerful official like Yelu Dezhong told him directly that he was the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, he would definitely be suspicious, but if he was allowed to find out by himself, after he was sure, he would definitely not doubt it again.

Any possible flaws would be explained by Yelv Dezhong himself, and he would think of a seamless explanation, complete it, and convince himself and others as well.

"It's too easy to deceive a mere painting, Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Deguang, your descendants are also trash."

Zhao Kuangyin, who was disguising his face, slowly filled the two wine glasses, and with a flick of his finger, he picked up the two glasses at the same time and poured them into his mouth.

"Huh, if that's the case, it's all mine."

………………

Benedict!
The wine glass knocked on the table.

The Emperor of Destiny set down a small table on the wilderness, with a jug and two wine glasses.

This is already the third day of the peace talks between Song and Liao.

Both parties have read the peace treaty and discussed it with each other several times. Today is the time to make an oath.

Sitting opposite the Tianming Emperor was a person recommended by Wu Yanguang and Yelu Dezhong.

The fierce generals of Song and Liao were all on guard at the foot of the mountain, looking at the top of the wilderness hills from time to time.

They have different expressions and different moods, especially many generals of the Song Army, their faces are extremely complicated, but no matter whether it is Song General or Liao General, they would never have imagined in their dreams that those two people at the top of the wilderness hill at this moment , There was no talk of the Song and Liao alliance at all.

"Steal, country, ah!"

The Emperor Tianming spat out those three words leisurely, and said, "Is the ancestor really going to try it?"

"It's just a tiger joining the sheep, don't worry."

Zhao Kuangyin said calmly, "After I go, I can ensure that the Liao soldiers will not have the opportunity to invade the territory of the Song Dynasty. You can do whatever you want to put down the rebellion. Han Shizhong is not dead, it is a big hidden danger, you have to be careful."

The Emperor of Destiny said: "Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and the relationship between heaven and earth, there is nothing better than this. The commander-in-chief betrayed the emperor and was killed by the generals. In all dynasties, who is the loyal minister, who is the second minister, and who is the king?" I have countless useful people. Instead of worrying about Han Shizhong, it is Guan Luoyang who annoys me even more."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "I already know the whole story of the rise of the Liangshan bandits. It is rare in the world for Guan Luoyang to deceive the world and steal his name. But such a person is like Wang Mang back then. Once his reputation collapsed, his morale would suffer A big setback, followed by a collapse like water, and a defeat like a mountain, is just around the corner."

"I am an elder, and I have a few words for you. You must first avoid his sharp edge, and don't confront him head-on. There are many ways to rebel. You must first eradicate those medium ones, suppress those small ones, and then destroy those strong ones." of."

"You want to disturb Liangshan's mind, break their energy, divide their army, destroy their calmness, destroy Guan Luoyang's reputation and persistence, and finally..."

The Emperor Tianming stopped his cup and raised his eyes, and took the sentence: "At the end, it's time to kill him!"
