In the city of Shuozhou.

Looking at the fire that filled the sky, Wu Jie wished that the old man Chai Yi would be crushed to ashes!
Although Wu Jie sent people to protect the food and supplies as soon as the city was broken, it was still a step too late——Chai Yi ordered people to burn the food and grass just before the city wall was blown down, and did his best for the Liao Kingdom. Be loyal.

Wu Jie ordered: "Put out the fire, save food as much as possible, and leave the others alone!"

At this time, Han Shizhong rode over.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Han Shizhong said with emotion: "If the generals of the Liao Kingdom were as devoted to their duties as Chai Yi, how could they have fallen into the current situation?"

Wu Jie said: "Do you think that all the lords know how to appoint good ministers like the governor?"

It is undeniable that Wu Jie's words were intended to flatter Li Yan, but they were also from his heart.

By reporting to the secret special camp, Wu Jie knew that Chai Yi had already been deposed by Emperor Tianzuo.

The reason is that Emperor Tianzuo's confidant, that is, persuaded Emperor Tianzuo to just focus on hunting and not to care about other things, helped Emperor Tianzuo to defeat many battles, and helped Emperor Tianzuo to rebel against the famous general Yelu Yujian of the Liao Kingdom. The emperor said that as long as he killed Yelu Yu, who was also a descendant of Taizu, the king of Jin, he would withdraw his troops. So secretly taught Chinese folk songs: "The five old men are four hundred years old, and they dozed off from the south to the north. I can't control my mind, and I am in the mood to kill women."

This ballad spread to the ears of Emperor Tianzuo. Emperor Tianzuo laughed loudly at first, and then felt uncomfortable after laughing. In addition, Wanyan Aguda threw a lot of extremely unequal treaties to the Liao Kingdom at that time, making this The five old men were overwhelmed, so Emperor Tianzuo dismissed Wu Yong, Ma Renwang, and Chai Yi successively, and let Xiao Chala be transferred to Xijing to stay behind. He seized the position of Privy Envoy of the North Court and seized the military and political affairs. As for Emperor Tianzuo, he began to concentrate on hunting and no longer interfered with the government.

After Xiao Fengxian came to power, because of his mishandling, he completely forced the Kingdom of Jin to rebel. Wanyan Aguda personally conquered Shangjing, and Shangjing stayed behind and led the crowd to surrender. The Jin people began to plunder on Shangjing Road. The dining hall, Huaizhou has the Chongyuan Hall of Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, Gyeongju has the three halls of Wangxian, Wangsheng, and Shenyi, while Qianzhou and Xianzhou, which were previously attacked by the Jin people, have the Temple of Condensation, the Hall of Our Lady of Anyuan, and Muye Mountain has The Hall of Ancestors, as well as the mausoleums of the emperors of the Liao Dynasty and the shadow halls of the imperial concubines were originally guarded by special family soldiers. When these guards were all wiped out by the Jin army, all these originally dignified royal places were completely destroyed. The Jinren snatched a large amount of gold, silver and jewels from it, and burned them all afterwards.

The surviving grassroots officials reported the destruction of the Jin people to their superiors. After Xiao Fengxian saw these reports, he detained them all.

However, the birthplace of the Liao people was so destroyed by the Jin people. It was inevitable for everyone to discuss such an important matter. After all, Emperor Tianzuo heard some rumors and summoned Xiao Fengxian to ask for details.

Xiao Fengxian said: "Although the Jin people began to set foot in the ancestral mausoleum and other places and made small-scale violations, they were finally afraid of the majesty of the ancestors, did not dare to destroy the coffin, and sent special personnel to repair it."

There are indeed some more civilized generals among the Jin people, such as Wanyan Saliyao. When he later invaded Shaanxi, he once funded the repair of the Tang Qianling Mausoleum that had been abandoned for many years, but most of the Jin people only had one word "grab" in their eyes. What gold, silver and jewelry, what beautiful women, everything they fancy is robbing, and some gold men even dig up graves to search for gold, silver and jewelry. Therefore, Xiao Fengxian is obviously taking care of Emperor Tianzuo's already very fragile and sensitive psychology. In other words, Xiao Fengxian is obviously fooling Emperor Tianzuo.

But Emperor Tianzuo believed in a humble minister like Xiao Fengxian, but not in a loyal and capable minister like Chai Yi.

People at the time said: "Emperor Tianzuo has been abolished and has become a puppet."

Let’s take a look at our governor again. In just two years, we have been promoted from a team of only 50 people to a general who can lead [-] people. Control the number of troops.

In this comparison, the gap is not ordinary!
Who can not die?
Han Shizhong, who was in exactly the same situation as Wu Jie, fully agreed with what Wu Jie said, saying: "The Lord of Liao is stupid, and the Lord of Song is not much better. We should be the governors of the world."

Wu Jie looked around and said, "Speak carefully."

Han Shizhong is also a person who knows the seriousness, and he immediately shut his mouth after being reminded by Wu Jie.

Wu Jie changed the subject and said, "You have entered the city, so does that mean Brother Yelu Ma ran away?"

Han Shizhong said: "You guessed it right."

Wu Jie said: "Hmph, if he dares to fight, can I be trapped in Shuozhou City for more than half a month?"

Han Shizhong said: "That's a good strategy."

Wu Jie said: "You have only been here for two days. I know that guy?"

Han Shizhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "So, Brother Yeluma really won't be distracted but will go to Shijie Valley?"

This battle has already been won, and the rest is how much results can be achieved. Therefore, Wu Jie, who is completely relaxed, is also in the mood to explain to Han Shizhong in detail why he judged that Brother Yelu would not be distracted but would go to Shijie valley.

Wu Jie said: "After more than half a month of fighting, I dare to conclude that that guy is a coward. There are many generals like this in the Western Army. People like Liu Guangshi can only fight against the wind. You can't fight tough battles, no matter whether it's going to Xijing, Huanzhou, or Yuanyangluo, in short, as long as he goes east, he can't avoid fighting us again. Cheap, I was already afraid of being beaten, and later he didn’t dare to leave me for a hundred feet, how dare he fight with me again? And to the west, first, there is the area of ​​​​the Liao Kingdom, there are no people from us, and there are no people from Jin, so it is safe Second, seeing things are not good, he can take his 1 troops and escape to Xixia, and he will not lose a fortune. Hmph! If that guy didn't think so, I would be Wu Jie blind! "

Hearing what Wu Jie said, Han Shizhong said: "If he is really so cowardly, then you, Wu Jie, will be fulfilled."

Wu Jie laughed, and said to himself, "I'm sorry, General Han, I'm going to be one step ahead of you."

Han Shizhong didn't take it seriously and said: "You are just luckier than me, not more capable than me. When I take down Liaoxijing, we will have more credit than anyone else."

Wu Jie said: "I will wait and see."

At this moment, someone came to report: "Report! The three ladies have left the camp with an army of five hundred horses!"

Wu Jie said: "It's bad, they are destined to go to Shijie Valley to participate in the war."

Han Shizhong said: "Then hurry up!"

Wu Jie said: "No matter how you chase, Liu Kai will take away all Ma Jun."

Han Shizhong also had a headache when he heard the words, and said, "Why did the governor send these three aunts out?"

Wu Jie said: "It's not because we don't have enough horses, otherwise how could the governor be willing to send them out... I hope they are safe, otherwise I can only apologize with death."
