The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The battle of the Liao army's counterattack against the imperial city began.High-quality updates are in

According to the previous promise, Yelu Chongyuan allocated [-] soldiers and horses to Yelu Hongji to form the main attack force to attack from the east gate, and tens of thousands of horses were arranged on the other three sides to carry out a feint attack. In the afternoon, stones were thrown from trebuchets. Let's start, kick off the prelude to the siege.

Yelu Hongji put on his horse and stood on the front line of the east gate. In order to recapture the imperial city and make amends, he had no way out. Fortunately, the emperor's uncle was not as insidious as he imagined; Well, this made Yelu Hongji feel a little regretful for the slanderous words he said to the emperor's uncle behind his back.

But Yelu Hongji will not be moved by this matter. It is well known that the emperor's uncle wishes to inherit the throne, and he is supposed to be the heir to the throne. Soldiers and horses, to help him regain the imperial city may be the most stupid decision of the emperor's uncle. The father must definitely want to take over the throne by himself. As long as he can make up for the guilt of losing the imperial city, his status will not be in the father's heart. fall.

As for the matter of killing the empress mother, the father will never blame himself in his heart, because the father is such a person. After the father came to the throne, he deposed the empress dowager under house arrest, cut off her food supply, and made the old empress die of depression. , although he didn't personally kill him, but it is equivalent to dying at his hands; he was able to kill the queen with all his heart, on the one hand because he didn't want the queen and princess to be humiliated by the Song people to threaten him, and on the other hand, it was probably because of his blood. Heredity is at work. [

The battle was going on like a raging fire, of course Yelu Hongji would not charge and kill himself, he only watched the progress of the battle from behind and listened to the battle report from the front at any time; not half an hour after the battle started, Yelu Kanrong came galloping on horseback angrily, with a face on his face. "color" is flushed red.

"His Royal Highness, how did you discuss with the emperor's younger brother? Why have there been no movements in the other three places? There are as many Song troops on the top of the city, and there are more people defending the city than attacking it. How to attack?"

"No way, Uncle Huang is right. As soon as we attack, the other three sides will start feinting. Didn't they make a move?"

"Do it. The high-quality update is here." Yelu Kanrong ignored the prince, "I sent someone to ask, and the soldiers and horses were in place, but they all hid in the shelter from the wind and basked in the sun, saying yes No order was received."

Yelu Hongji faintly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "I will immediately send someone to the emperor's tent in Seoul to inquire, suspend the attack, and wait for my news."

Yelu Kanrong said angrily: "More than 3000 lives have been lost, and now we are calling to stop. What kind of battle is this?"

Yelu Hongji comforted: "General, don't be impatient. Casualties are inevitable. Now is our chance to redeem our sins. So what if we should be patient? If we attack the city again, we can send the [-] troops assigned to us to take the lead. Put soldiers and horses in the rear, so as not to hurt your vitality."

Yelu Kanrong didn't listen to this sentence, but when he heard this, he became even more annoyed, and said angrily: "Your Highness, I don't know how you discussed with the emperor's younger brother, and agreed to allocate [-] main troops to attack." Chengcheng, do you know what those [-] soldiers are? They are all old, weak, sick, and handicapped soldiers. I am afraid that all the waste in the army has been collected and sent to us. Some people have trouble walking and even attack the city? Attack a fart!"

Yelu Hongji turned pale with shock and said, "How could this happen? Uncle Emperor..."

Yelu Kanrong sneered and said: "The last general knew that such a good thing did not happen, and the emperor's brother would kindly let you take the credit for it? Your Highness is being plotted and you don't know it."

Yelu Hongji's hands and feet were cold, and he murmured: "I have been fooled by the emperor's uncle, this despicable villain who is not as good as a pig or a dog, this is asking me to die. High quality update"

Yelu Kanrong said: "In my opinion, he arranged this matter. You can't find anything out of it if you ask. It's better to stop the siege and return his [-] waste. Let's take the troops back to Ningzhou Go, don't take credit for it. In the future, the emperor's general and others will only excuse the prince, and the emperor will not blame the prince too much, after all, it is "forced" by the situation and has no choice."

Yelu Hongji dismounted softly, sat down on the rock, and muttered: "It's too late, I have issued...a military order; I can't take down the imperial city, and the emperor's uncle wants to rule me with military law..."

"Ah?" Yelu Kanrong couldn't believe his ears. The eldest prince was so stupid that he actually issued a military order. This is a very typical example of sham public affairs for personal gain. It's ridiculous that the eldest prince was tricked into the game by taking advantage of his eagerness to do meritorious service. Now it's really troublesome.

"This is a murder with a borrowed knife. The emperor wants to take this opportunity to get rid of me. What should I do? What should I do?" Yelu Hongji panicked. After all, a 17-year-old boy lacks experience. Although he is very shrewd, how could he know this? There are so many intrigues and tricks in the world, how can a prince in the palace of him be able to see through them.

Yelu Kanrong's face was pale, the matter has come to an end, blaming the prince is useless, Yelu Kanrong thought for a long time, and sighed: "There are only two ways to go, the first is to use the little manpower at hand to fight to the death Take the imperial city, although it is almost impossible."

Yelu Hongji shook his head and said: "It's not that you don't know the defense of the imperial city. It is possible to make a breakthrough in the siege from all sides. Now it seems that the emperor is only sending troops to other sides for show, and it is impossible to feign attack to contain it. This is impossible .”

Yelu Kanrong said: "Then there is only one last way."

"Say it, say it." [

"Thirty-six strategies, the best strategy is to go! Let's transfer the 36 old, weak and disabled soldiers to attack. The generals and I will take our 2 people to escort the prince to escape from the battlefield and flee to Ningzhou to escape. Yelu Zhongyuan can't get away now. , he will not lead troops to Ningzhou to find our quarrel, and the prince will report this matter to the emperor, so that the emperor will be prepared in his heart, and in the future, the villain Yelu Zhongyuan will not sue first."

Yelu Hongji straightened his eyes and said, "Is this...is it done? Is it possible to leave?"

Yelu Kanrong said: "It's the only way to succeed. You will die if you stay. The military order is a joke. If you kill you, the emperor has no reason to blame him, because that is the punishment you are willing to accept; let's talk about the emperor's younger brother. It's really deliberate, if you are killed by him, the throne can only be inherited by him. In the final analysis, it is the real seizure of the throne that caused the disaster, but if the prince is a little restrained and doesn't talk nonsense everywhere, there will be no disaster today. "

Yelu Hongji clenched his teeth and said: "The general is right. The general should prepare immediately. Let's leave this place of right and wrong quickly. Fortunately, the thief may not know that we have discovered his intention, and we may be able to escape."

Yelu Kanrong turned around and got on his horse, turned the horse's head and said, "Your Highness the prince will go away quietly with his personal guards first, and the last general will come with his troops later, otherwise it will take too much time, and if the emperor's younger brother finds out, it will be troublesome."

The attack on the top of the city was still going on, and the shouts resounded through the surrounding snow fields. Yelu Hongji rode on a horse, dressed up as a scout soldier, and ran eastward frantically with a dozen guards; originally running north was a shortcut, But there was a Liao army pretending to attack outside the northern city. God knows if it was the interception team prepared by Yelu Chongyuan to prevent himself from seeing through the plot. It is the safest way to run east and go north in circles.

The wind whistling beside his ears made his face icy cold, Yelu Hongji's eyes were filled with tears, and the tears were quickly blown by the wind into thin ice crystals hanging on his eyelashes. The prince, now fleeing like a bereaved dog, this is something he never expected.

Once upon a time, I thought that Daliao was the most powerful country in the world, and that Song and Xia would surrender under Daliao's iron hoof. Daliao would become the superpower with the largest territory and the strongest national strength in the world, and I would also become this country. What an honor and honor to be the emperor of the most powerful country.

His father had high hopes for him, and his father hinted to himself more than once that the emperor's uncle was just to stabilize the situation. In fact, it was impossible to pass on the throne to him, and he was the real crown prince. But now, Song The man is extremely vicious, the emperor's uncle designed to frame him, he first killed his own mother, then lost the capital, and now he wants to escape execution, what happened to all of this?

The sound of shouting and charging was gradually left behind, and it was already inaudible. The imperial city in the distance had become a shadow on the horizon. Yelu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced that no matter what, he was still lucky. He saw through the emperor's uncle's tricks early on. Once he escaped, he would still be the prince of the Daliao Kingdom. His father still had 40 cavalry in his hands, and there were still a large number of people in the city on Tokyo Road and Nanjing Road. Never dare to usurp the throne, I have a lot of opportunities to counter the emperor's uncle.

The hill ahead was covered with white snow, and there were a few sparse fir trees under the hill. Yelu Hongji seldom rode a horse, and the bump on the horse made his bones ache, so he decided to take a break under the tree to drink some water to catch his breath. tone.

A dozen or so riders slowly approached the tree, and Yelu Hongji was surprised to find that there was a straw mat under the tree, on which were a jug of wine and two wine glasses, and a roasted fat sheep. In astonishment, he only heard the horseshoes win, and hundreds of cavalry flashed out from behind the hill, and the first one laughed loudly: "Nephew Hong Ji, you are indeed here."
