Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 747
Groups of common people in Liaoyang City came out of the city with the help of the old and the young. Those soldiers who were forcibly captured had already taken off their leather armor and returned to their civilian attire.

The Song army didn't pursue it, and regarded them as civilians. There were originally 10,000+ people in the city, but now there are only more than 14 people left. Most of the dead people died in the sea of ​​​​fire or explosion.

Everyone was terrified, and under the cold gaze of the soldiers of the Song Army on both sides, each of them shivered. The ten-day horror experience made them completely terrified. At this moment, they seemed to crawl out of hell, excited again, Scared again.

Most of the people in Liaoyang Prefecture are Khitan people, and there are also some Xi people and Bohai people, but they are not natives, but ordinary people in the market, which is actually Sinicization.

However, there are very few Han people in the city, and most of them were arrested and taken to mines, and were rescued by the Song army. There are less than a thousand Han people left in the city.

Fan Ning didn't give lectures or anything like that. According to the imperial court's plan, the Liaodong Khitans would be resettled on Jingdong Road, and then bankrupt farmers would be recruited from Jingdong Road to be resettled in Liaodong. foundation.

All the people were sent to Yaozhou in the south to live temporarily, and then sent to Jingdong Road by boat.

One hundred thousand Song Army soldiers began to enter the city to clean up the corpses and collect supplies. After all this was completed, the entire Liaoyang City was completely razed to the ground by the Song Army.

Except for Youzhou in Nanjing and Yunzhou in Xijing, Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Tokyo in the Liao Kingdom will all suffer the same fate. They will be completely destroyed and then razed to the ground, completely eliminating the major capitals that symbolize the imperial power of the Liao Kingdom.

In Beijing, what Yelu Hongji was most worried about happened. Wei Wang Yelushou falsely spread the news that the emperor was surrounded by the Song army. With the support of the royal family, he made the one-year-old emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi emperor. He made himself regent.Rule the government.

Although he did not establish himself as the emperor, Yelu Hongji was very angry at this act of arbitrarily establishing the emperor, which was actually a seizure of power.

Even if the grandson of the emperor is established as the son of heaven, at least he has to decide for himself when it is Wei Wang Yelushou's turn to call the shots.

Yelu Hongji led an army of 20 troops and stationed [-] miles east of Shangjing City. There was a large army camp here, which could accommodate [-] people, and it was just for him to garrison troops.

At the same time, Yelu Hongji sent people to the imperial court to ask for accountability, demanding that the imperial court clarify the matter of arbitrarily establishing his grandson as emperor.

At the same time, he asked his confidant guards to bring his gold medal into Shangjing, found the four commanders who held the military power, and asked them to lead the army out of the city immediately to join him in the barracks.

What Yelu Hongji really cares about is the [-] elite troops staying in Shangjing. If the [-] troops are loyal to Yelushou, it means a civil war will break out. If the [-] troops are still loyal to him, then Yelushou is the meat on the chopping board .

Yelu Hongji waited anxiously for the result, pacing back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, feeling extremely anxious.

At this moment, Yelu Hongtai walked in quickly, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Emperor, I'm afraid it's not good news."

Yelu Hongji's heart sank, "Aren't the four commanders willing to come over?"

Yelu Hongtai sighed, "It's not the problem of the four of them. The four of them have been secretly executed by Yelushou. Now the general in charge of the army is Yelushou's son Yelu Pingguang. I just got the news."

Yelu Hongji was so startled that he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said helplessly, "I should have thought about it. If he doesn't control the army, how dare he arbitrarily make himself the regent."

"Brother, what should we do?" Yelu Hongtai asked.

"Pass my order, the army is assembled, follow me to condemn the rebels!"

The outside of Shangjing is already a mess. The land ravaged by the Lieshan tribe is full of bright red and glaring blood, as if they are crying about the merciless killing of the prairie wolves that night.

Yelu Hongji walked through this blood-stained land with a livid face. In the distance, there were half-burned woods, only black trunks remained. stump.

The [-] troops lined up outside the gate of the east city, Yelu Hongji hurried forward and shouted loudly: "Who is the general of the city? Come out and talk to me!"

A moment later, a panicked general appeared at the top of the city, clasped his fists and saluted, "Please refer to Your Majesty for humble duties!"

"Do you still recognize me as the emperor?"

The general hesitated for a moment, and a cold voice came from behind him, "Just admit it."

The general hurriedly said: "How dare you deny your lowly position?"

"That's good, you open the city gate for me now!"

The general hesitated again, a pale face appeared behind him, it was Wei Wang Yelushou, he was like a puppet actor, leading the general to answer.

"Just say there are two conditions!"

After speaking, he turned back to his son Yelu Pingguang and said, "Are you aiming?"

Yelu Pingguang was only 20 years old, and he was skilled in martial arts, especially good at riding and shooting. He drew his divine arm bow and aimed at Yelu Hongji under the city.

"Your Majesty, there are two small conditions for my humble minister."

Yelu Hongji was refreshed, he couldn't help urging his horse forward, and asked loudly: "Tell me, what are the two conditions?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful crossbow arrow 'whoosh! ’ shot out, as fast as lightning, Yelu Hongji was taken aback, and dodged to avoid it, but it was too late, ‘Pfft! ’ The arrow hit the chest and pierced the golden armor on his body.

With a scream, Yelu Hongji turned over and fell off his horse. The guards behind him were terrified. He rushed forward, picked up Yelu Hongji's body and ran away.

The [-] troops withdrew immediately, and Yelushou asked anxiously, "Did my son get shot?"

Yeluping nodded, "The child can see clearly, it hits the left chest, the distance is at most a hundred steps, and the crossbow with the divine arm can penetrate his golden armor."

The general guarding the city next to him also said: "The humble officer can see clearly, he has hit the nail on the head!"

Yelushou was overjoyed immediately, and immediately ordered: "Send scouts to find out the news!"

Wei Wang Yelushou is about 40 years old this year. He is of medium build and has very fair skin. His face is particularly pale. During the Chongyuan Rebellion more than ten years ago, Yelushou was a member of the Dragon Sect and followed Yelu Hongji to suppress the rebellion against the King of Chu. .

But this does not mean that Yelushou has no ambition. Yelushou's ambition is hidden in his heart, and when the opportunity arises, it will suddenly emerge.

When Jinzhou fell, the news that Emperor Yelu Hongji was about to be surrounded by 50 Song troops in Liaoyang Mansion reached Beijing. Yelushou immediately realized that the opportunity had come. The year-old emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi became emperor, and he established himself as the regent, which actually took the military power of the Liao Kingdom into his hands. At the same time, he eliminated the generals loyal to Yelu Hongji and firmly grasped the military power.

Yelushou walked back and forth in the lobby restlessly with his hands behind his back, waiting for news from the spies.

At this time, the second son, Yelu Pingguang, rushed to the lobby and said excitedly, "Father, Yelu Hongji is dead!"

"Ah! How do you know?"

"The spies said that the White Wolf Banner was hung in the East Day Camp, and the surroundings were filled with soul-calling flags. The soldiers' heads were wrapped in plain vegetables, and the whole army was crying."

Hanging the white wolf flag means the death of the emperor, the soul-calling flag and the three armies are circumstantial evidence, and the crying of the whole army further illustrates the problem.

Yelu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Command the army to attack the East Camp tonight."

Yelu Pingguang was puzzled: "Father, since Yelu Hongji is dead, we can just ask his army to be loyal to the emperor, why do we need to attack at night?"

Yelushou explained: "You don't understand the truth here, Yelu Hongji is dead, the army must be in the hands of Yelu Hongtai, he can serve the emperor Yelu Yanxi, but he will kill us, as the emperor's uncle Regent, we don't expect the army to be loyal to us automatically, only when we completely defeat them and gather the defeated soldiers can they be used by us, not only Yelu Hongji will die, but Yelu Hongtai will die too!"

"My son understands, my son immediately go to order soldiers, ready to attack at night!"

At two o'clock, [-] Liao troops approached the East Camp silently. They saw the lights in the camp brightly lit, some figures were moving, and the sound of wailing was faintly heard.

Yeluping pointed at his war sword and shouted: "Shoot into the barracks!"

Dozens of soldiers raised their horns and blew, "Woo——"

The [-] army shouted and rushed towards the barracks like a tide. The dozen or so soldiers guarding the gate of the barracks were frightened and fled in all directions.

After a while, Yelu Pingguang took the lead and led the army into the East Camp.

There were standing soldiers everywhere in the East Day Camp. When Yelu Pingguang shot a soldier fiercely, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. It turned out to be a scarecrow in military uniform.

"be cheated!"

A thought came to his mind, his face turned pale in shock, and he turned around and shouted, "Quick retreat!"

At this time, there was a loud cry of killing around, and Yelu Hongtai led an army of [-] to fight from all directions, and the army led by Yelu Pingguang was defeated.

Yelu Pingguang desperately fought his way out of the siege, a soldier rushed to report: "I want to report to the young prince, the palace guards rebelled, the old prince was caught by the guards, and Yelu Hongji has entered the city."

Yelu Pingguang knew that if he was caught, he would die without a doubt, so he fled to the east in a panic with hundreds of his own soldiers.
