When the scent of autumn became stronger and the plains and mountains around Dingzhou City were dyed golden or crimson, Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue returned to Dingzhou City together to see the Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Great Liao Dynasty.

It was not very good news for the two of them to bring to Yanxi.

Zhang Jue brought the news that the Song Dynasty refused to negotiate peace and that Wu Haogu was appointed by Zhao Ji as the governor of Youzhou, and the deployment of Yanshan Road! The governor of the Song Dynasty was usually a regular official, but there were exceptions. For example, the governor of Hexi before Zhao Ganshun, and now the governor of Anxi, the governor of Anxi, is a real position.

In addition, Li Gande, the prince of Jiaozhi, who claimed to be Emperor Da Qu Yue, was the governor of Annan of the Song Dynasty, and the observer of the Jinghai Army. In theory, he was also a practical governor of the Song Dynasty.

"Is the Youzhou Jiedushi in Wu Haogu real or false?"

The Emperor of the Great Liao frowned, as if he cared about the title Wu Haogu possessed.

"It should be both real and real?" Zhang Jue said, "If there are people in Yan who have ulterior motives who can raise troops to respond, then the martial arts and good-for-military Jiedushi may be a real position. In this way, the Jiedushi can also set up observation, defense, regiment training and governors, which can make many local tyrants in Yan live their official positions.

If the powerful Yan land was grateful to the great grace of the Great Liao and no one responded, then his Jiedushi would be a full-time official."

"That must be a real job!" Yelu Yanxi frowned even more.

Emperor Genghis is indeed amazing! The title of a military governor is enough to shake the hearts of the people in Yan. After all, those tyrants in Yan were not literati who were not taking the imperial examinations for the imperial examinations in Liao Kingdom were actually trying to be fathers. If the tyrants in Yan wanted to be an official, especially if they wanted to get a real position, they had to have strength.

Therefore, the purpose of enthroning Wu Haogu as the governor of Youzhou was to tell the powerful people in Yan that as long as they are strong in their troops, they can obtain fiefdoms and hereditary official positions!

In this way, the powerful Yan land tyrants may turn to the Song Dynasty. After all, they did not have a hereditary and violent observation envoy on the Liao Kingdom, so the governor could do it.

Moreover, even if Yelu Yanxi wanted to leave Yan territory, he would allocate it to Yan territory. In exchange for them to please them between the Song and Liao dynasties, and ask them to send troops to attack the Hejian camp in Wuhaogu, that was not even thought. Because there were only a few thousand defenders, the Ma Renwang, who was in charge of the eighth battalion of the Han army guards, could not attack, so he had to dig moats outside the city to build a siege. What's more, the Hejian camp with tens of thousands of defenders was as solid as a sacrificial force?

If we say that Ma Renwang can really fool you. Even though he preserved his strength, he was unwilling to use the old capitals of the Yan family to fight, but he could fool Yelu Yanxi with a clever mouth.

According to him, Yan land is undergoing drastic changes, and the guards and soldiers are unstable. If they force them to attack the city, they are afraid that people will change their hearts!

Therefore, for the sake of national unity in the Great Liao Dynasty, we can only adopt the method of "using the other way and returning the other person to do the same" to build a siege city and a tough village to fight.

In addition, Ma Renwang also proposed a way to use "hard villages and stupid battles" to solve the difficulties in Yanjing.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that Yutian County east of Yanjing be the old camp of Xiao Xiamai, the governor of the Xiwang Mansion. Then, Yelu Guanguli, the governor of the Fengxian Army of Xianzhou, serve as the ambassador of Nanjing Dao Gang, mobilizes the powerful troops of Nanjing Dao to advance to Xijin Mansion with Xiao Xiamai. He also uses step-by-step methods to build the hard village from Yutian County to outside Xijin Mansion."

Yelu Guanligu, the governor of Fengxian Army of Xianzhou, recommended by Ma Renwang, was actually a Han man. His ancestor was surnamed Han and was the current senior of the Han family in Yutian. He is already in his seventies this year. He is the sixth generation grandson of Han Zhigu and the great-grandson of Han Dewei, the cousin of Han Derang. This Han family gave the Yelu surname, which is considered a Khitan royal family. He has married the Xiao family for generations, and can also serve as a senior official in the world. Many people have been awarded the title of king.

He was appointed as the ambassador of Nanjing Taoist Troupe Training. It is hard to say whether other Yandi tyrants buy it or not. At least the Han family in Yutian has to sell more strength.

Yelu Yanxi seemed a little confused, so he turned his attention to Xiao Fengxian. Xiao Fengxian quickly reported: "Your Majesty, it may be difficult for Yelu to call on the people of Yan to be the hearts of the people."

"Is that true?" Yelu Yanxi asked, "Bengxian, who do you want to recommend?"

"I think the only one who can call on the Yan people is the Prince Wenzhong's Mansion."

"Prince Wenzhong's Mansion?"

The Wenzhong Palace is Han Derang's palace guard and the foundation of the Han family in Yutian! The owner of the Thirteen Palace Guards of the Great Liao Dynasty is either the emperor, the heir to the throne or the regent queen mother. Only Han Derang can have his own palace guard as a Han minister.

Some of the children of the Han family in Yutian can be included in the genealogy of the Khitan royal family and become the Yelu clan!

However, the Wenzhong Palace was a palace guard who had "deprived his sons and grandsons". Han Deer had no son, so Emperor Shengzong of Liao let King Yelu Zongye of Zhou succeed the Wenzhong Palace, which was considered Han Deerang's son. As a result, Yelu Zongye of Yelu Zongye of Wei was then succeeded, and then Yelu Yelu Yelu Zongxi, son of King Yelu Zongxi, and the descendant was cut off again. By the time Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne, no one had presided over the Wenzhong Palace for many years.

"Who can enter the palace of Prince Wenzhong?" Yelu Yanxi asked.

"His Highness of King Jin is both civil and military, and is highly regarded by everyone, and is enough to enter the palace of Prince Wenzhong."

"King of Jin?" Yelu Yanxi was stunned.

King Yelu Aoluwo of Jin was Yelu Yanxi's eldest son, but his biological mother was not the queen Xiao Duoli Lai, nor the queen's sister, Xiao Guige, but Yelu Yanxi's favorite concubine Xiao Sesse.

According to the Liao Kingdom's throne inheritance system, all princes born to concubines of the Xiao clan are born out of the legitimate descendants. The legitimate princes are qualified to inherit the throne! In other words, Yelu Aoluwu, as the eldest son, is the actual first heir to the throne.

Of course, he did not have the title of a crown prince. This is because the Liao Kingdom did not determine the system of inheritance of the throne of the father and the son, and the emperor's brothers also had the right to inherit. Therefore, in order to appease the old seniors in the royal family, they had the strange title of "Uncle Huang".

The theoretical heir to the throne of the Great Liao Dynasty is Yelu and Luwu, the grandfather of Yelu Yanxi. Shortly after Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne, he was respected as the Grandfather of the righteous and benevolent emperor. He is 69 years old this year, and he is in poor health. He has been ill for a while and he doesn't look like he can ascend the throne.

Because of the old emperor, Yelu Aoluwu's inheritance rights have been vaguely unable to be implemented. This has given Xiao Fengxian and his sister space to operate! And adopting Yelu Aoluwu to Han De, naturally banned the possibility of him inheriting the throne through legal channels.

How could Han Derang's descendants inherit the throne of the Great Liao Dynasty? This is unreasonable in terms of law!

However, Yelu Yanxi has been hesitating about this matter, after all, Yelu Aoluo is the eldest son.

"Your Majesty," the horse man saw Yelu Yanxi hesitating, and he also persuaded, "The powerful men in Yan have always followed the leader of the Han family in Yutian, and the Han family in Yutian regards the Wenzhong Mansion as the emperor. If the King of Jin takes over the Wenzhong Mansion, he will be the leader of the Han family in Yutian, and the noble men in Yan."

This...of course, it's a fool!

Who is not convinced by the Han family in Yan? The ancestors of the Liu family, the Zhao family, were all governors of Youzhou, and the ancestors of the Ma family were also the governors of Qingzhou in Shijin. The ancestor of the Han family, Han Zhigu, was just a slave to the Khitans, and became popular only after Han Delang became the leader of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Moreover, the Han family relied on their identity as the Khitan royal family, when did they take the rest of the wealthy families in Yan seriously?

Besides, the Khitan royal family cannot marry Yan Dihaoqiang. They have to marry Xiao, and Yan Dihaoqiang's daughter is only worthy of the Han family's needy concubine!

Therefore, the Zhao, Liu and Ma families in Yandi are all married to each other. With these three families as the core, the other powerful men in Yandi have also joined a huge marriage network. It can be said that everyone is related to the old Han family, and only the old Han family is excluded.

Ma Renwang's words finally made Yelu Yanxi make up his mind, "Then let King Jin enter the palace of Prince Wenzhong, and then give him the name of being a member of the Southern Court Privy Council, and allow him to recruit troops in Yan, and let Xiao Xiamai and Yelu Guanligu assist him together."

Yelu Aoluwo is still half-aged, so he naturally cannot command the entire Yan army. His Tongzhi Nanyuan Privy Council was just a name for himself, and the real decision was Xiao Xiamai and Yelu Guanligu.

Ma Renwang then suggested: "Your Majesty, there are the army of King Xi'an and the Han family in Yutian to the east of Xijin Prefecture, but the army west of Xijin Prefecture is very empty. If the garrison is not strengthened, the Song army may take advantage of the situation. Therefore, I suggest that the sixth camp among the eight guards guards will be guarded by Yongqing, Gu'an, Anci, Fanyang, Liangxiang and Yuhe, and learn from the Song people's methods to build hard village castles more to block the Song army's way westward.

As for the siege of Baozhou, it is enough to have Xiaowu led by Korean Qixian, Xiongjie Battalions. There is no need to leave the other six battalions there too."

Xiao Fengxian, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said, "But there are too few soldiers in Dingzhou in this way. Your Majesty is planning to march into Zhending Mansion!"

"The Four Czech Army and Xuanli Army can be mobilized from Xijing Road to enter the battlefield of Dingzhou Road."

The horse man looked at him and said, "In addition, I think it is not appropriate to attack Zhending Mansion City. Because Zhending Mansion City is a strong city made of huge stones, and the nearby Taihang Mountain people are quite fierce. If they are in charge of the group training, they will definitely be very resistant to fighting.

Therefore, I suggest that the army go south to attack Shenzhou. To the south of Shenzhou is Jizhou, and to the south of Jizhou is Daming Prefecture. If the army attacks Shenzhou and crosses the Hutuo River, it will definitely scare the king and ministers of the Song Dynasty, and may agree to our peace agreement."

Xiao Fengxian said: "But Zhending Prefecture is the only way for the Song Dynasty Hedong Army to go east. If we do not block Zhending Prefecture and go south to Shenzhou, the Song army may attack Dingzhou from Zhending Prefecture and cut off our army's back."
