Chapter 777: The Cloud-Entering Dragon Climbs to Erxian Mountain
Gongsun Zhao knew that the first reason his brother asked him to come was because he was from Jizhou. When Song and Liao were allies, this might not be a big deal, but now that the two countries were at war, it was a good time to take advantage of his place of origin.
The second is the name Gongsun Zhao, which has occupied the first place on the wanted list of the Song Dynasty for a long time. I believe it is well-known in the Liao Kingdom.
However, when Yelu De asked again for his name, Gongsun Zhao had a slight thought and deliberately changed his name.
When Ding Run found that the situation in the court was too much for him and wanted to force him to return to Jizhou, he said that he wanted to change his name. Using it at this time could actually win the other party's trust.
"This person is obviously the 'cold-faced judge' Gongsun Zhao who is wanted by the Song Dynasty. It is said that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty killed his mother, which is also related to the revelation of this person. But it is Gongsun Sheng? Oh, who can I hide it from?"
"But it's normal for a wanted person to change his appearance. No wonder he changes his appearance from a court official to a Taoist priest..."
The Liao State paid great attention to espionage and intelligence, and had a good understanding of Gongsun Zhao. The cover-up of Gongsun Zhao's actions made Yelu Dezhong secretly devise a plan. At this time, seeing the land of Liao in sight, he was even more overjoyed and wished he could return to the South Courtyard immediately.
However, Gongsun Zhao stopped here.
He first looked at his hometown in Jizhou in the distance, missing his old mother whom he had not seen for several years, and at the same time, he had a strange feeling that he had never seen before.
After pondering for a moment, he turned to the east, where a group of people and horses were rushing towards the road sign.
Several men were all tall and powerful, and there was also a woman with thick eyebrows, broad eyes, and a round waist who was riding on a horse. She looked like she could make the decision. She said in a high voice: "If you want me to tell you, I should have made a decision long ago."
, If we go to Zengtou City now and have been captured by the Township Warriors, wouldn’t we be embarrassed?"
This tough woman is Mrs. Gu. After hearing his wife's complaints, Sun Xin said: "No matter how powerful Lin Yiyong is, the Liao army also has tens of thousands. If we go now, it will definitely not be too late. Don't worry, madam!"
Even Jie Zhen Jie Bao also smiled and said: "Sister, please don't be upset. A small delay doesn't matter. We can't just wipe out all the Liao people in these few days, right?"
Sister-in-law Gu glared at them: "Don't you think it's hunting? That's fighting. How can it be done so casually?"
The three of them shut their mouths instantly.
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. You really blame me..."
The leading man spoke, it was Sun Li, Luan Tingyu's junior brother.
At this time, Sun Li was not under the command of Dengzhou soldiers and horses, but just a small infantry commander in the county. Sun Xin's wife Gu and his wife did not rely on this official position to open a hotel outside Dengzhou city and kill cattle.
Bet.
In addition, Mrs. Gu also called her two cousins, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, to see her brothers and sister's families helping each other. Sun Li felt very embarrassed and explained: "The main reason is that King Chao Tian was destroyed by the Liao army.
I was hesitant to go to Hebei to help, so I delayed it until now..."
Sister-in-law Gu's expression changed slightly: "Have the Liao dogs in Hebei counterattack?"
Sun Xin was also worried: "It should be Lin Yiyong who came to Shandong, and Liao Gou found the opportunity... It's a pity that Lin Yiyong is only one person, and he cares about our Shandong, and he can't care about Hebei!"
Xie Zhen and Xie Bao said in unison: "If Hebei is completely occupied, Shandong is also in danger. We are close to Cangzhou, so we should go to support King Chao Tian first!"
Sun Lidao said: "Don't worry, King Chao Tian is no longer in trouble. According to the latest news I found, the Township Corps defeated the Liao Army again and took back the lost village. We can rest assured to join the Township Warriors and fight against Zeng Tou."
It’s time to market!”
Sister-in-law Gu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what are you waiting for? Come on!!"
Sun Li and others rode fast and quickly left the hearing range of Gongsun Zhao's Taoism. However, during this conversation, he learned a lot of key information.
The "Top Tower King" Chao Gai was actually counterattacked by the Liao army and broke through the village!
Gongsun Zhao still had a good impression of Chao Gai. He rectified the green forest, gathered bandits, and fought against the Liao people when the country was in crisis. He was a heroic figure.
It's a pity that this guy has a lot of faults, mostly due to his green-forest attitude. His brother repeatedly warned that arrogant soldiers must be defeated and never underestimate the main force of the Liao people. I'm afraid he still didn't listen, so he was met with a counterattack by the Liao soldiers, which almost caused a disaster.
Become a disaster.
However, even if there was no danger this time, it reminded Gongsun Zhao: "Hebei is where the main force of the Liao Army, with more than 100,000 people, is located. Even if the strength of the Rural Corps is getting stronger and stronger, if we really fight against it, we will probably die.
It’s all gone…this is absolutely not possible!”
At this time, he was extremely determined to change the dynasty. Facts have proved that a court that moved its capital to the south was even less able to protect the safety of the people in the Central Plains. Therefore, when the officers and soldiers retreated one after another, the sacrifice of the rural troops must not be exchanged for the faint king.
Have fun in the peace of Jiangnan!
Seeing Gongsun Zhao's expression change, Yelu Dezhong thought he was hesitating whether to really take him back to Liao Kingdom.
Yelv Dezhong did not know the specific temperament of this wanted criminal in the Song Dynasty, and did not dare to make a promise rashly to avoid backlash. He could only wait uneasily.
Fortunately, after pondering for a moment, Gongsun Zhao took the initiative and said, "What will you do after your entire army is wiped out this time and you return to Yanyun?"
Yelu Dezhong smiled indifferently, and was about to say that it was nothing serious, but he thought that the Liao army was divided into three groups and attacked Hebei, Hedong and Shandong. The Shandong group led by him, the "royal brother king", was actually completely wiped out.
Okay, I really can’t say that kind of thing...
His eyes flashed, and he simply sighed: "Thinking about this even now, I still feel like I am in a dream... That Lin Chong is indeed an unparalleled general with both civil and military skills. He was able to lead a group of local warriors to defeat our Liao army.
No one in my Khitan family has such ability, and I’m afraid the Southern Dynasty will not be able to tolerate it!"
Gongsun Zhao's face darkened slightly, and his Taoist robe made a rustling sound.
Yelv had to pay close attention to his words, and felt that he had found an entry point, so he hurriedly continued: "The emperor of the Southern Dynasties fled south with hundreds of officials and has reached the south of the Yangtze River. Although our lord's army is currently in front of Daming Mansion, it can reach Kaifeng, Henan at any time and break through.
After reaching Bianliang, the hearts of the people of Song Dynasty dispersed. Now when we go south, who does the Taoist think is the winner?"
Gongsun Zhao sneered: "Then have you ever thought about a problem? If Lin Yiyong combined the Hebei Township Corps and the Shandong Township Yong regiment, and took advantage of the Liao army's looting in Henan to attack from the rear, the Liao Emperor would have
There’s no chance of being captured alive?”
Yelv Dezhong has really considered this development.
The flaws of the Liao people's lack of military discipline and arrogance have been fully exposed. His several defeats in Shandong were actually based on these two points.
It makes no sense that the Liao army in Shandong is like this. The other two routes have become perfect. I am afraid it will be more serious. Once they arrive at the capital of the Southern Dynasties to plunder, I am afraid it will be difficult to gather them. By then, the invincible Lin Yiyong will appear.
How could Emperor Zuo be without danger?
But this also coincides with the above topic. Yelv Dezhong continued to pave the way: "Not to mention that our country of Liao is peaceful and peaceful, and our military is strong. Your Excellency has underestimated Oruduo by your Majesty's side... If Lin Chong really wants to achieve this unparalleled achievement
, is widely admired by soldiers and civilians all over Hebei, Henan, and Shandong. How can the Southern Dynasty court tolerate him? If such heroes are slandered and harmed, even I will not be able to stand it!"
Gongsun Zhao sneered: "Ha! You have good intentions. I'm afraid you want the Southern Dynasty to destroy its city wall!"
Yelu De reentered the main chapter: "Master Taoist, don't believe it. I, the Liao Dynasty, respect the strong. Compared with the cowardly and cowardly emperor who killed his mother in the Southern Dynasty, I respect people like Lin Yiyong more. If he wants to become the king of the system,
, or even founding a country and establishing a capital, it is completely possible to form an alliance with Daliao, just like Xixia..."
After a pause, he said with deep sincerity and temptation in his tone: "When the time comes, heroes like Taoist Master who don't want to live with the Southern Dynasty can join Lin Yiyong's command and show off their talents!"
Gongsun Zhao understood in his heart: "No wonder my brother defeated this man and still attached great importance to him. This Yelv Dezhong is indeed much more insidious and cunning than the Emperor Tianzuo who is very happy with his achievements!"
Yelu Dezhong knew that at the juncture of the war between Song and Liao, it would be easy for the other party to persuade the other party to directly join the Khitan people. However, if Lin Chong, the most famous person today, is the leader, I believe the other party's acceptance will be much better, and
Of course, the person who made this suggestion should be treated well and sent back to the Liao Kingdom.
Of course, his words were not entirely an escape strategy.
If Lin Chong can really separatize Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places, the Southern Dynasty will be divided, the national power will be greatly weakened, and the newly established dynasty will have to engage in a protracted war, just like the previous war with Xixia, another decades-long contest will inevitably happen.
Win each other's support from the Liao Kingdom.
By that time, the Liao Kingdom would have become the real winner strategically. The small southern countries, including Xixia, would be begging for mercy from the Khitans in the future. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
"Daydreaming!"
Gongsun Zhao naturally vetoed this act in his heart. The change of dynasty was not only to include all the lands of Zhao and Song, but also the Yanyun land that had been occupied by the Liao for too long, and even the grasslands of the Liao Kingdom, which were occupied by Tubo in Xixia, Qingtang and Tang Dynasties.
The Hexi Corridor and the territory of the former Tang Dynasty will be returned.
Just as the senior "Zuoming" said, the sun and moon will be reopened to inherit Yao and Shun, and the world will be rebuilt to take over the Han and Tang Dynasties!
But since the other party was planning this, he might as well accept it, his eyes twinkling.
Although there is no direct look of ecstasy on the other party's face, if the cold-faced judge is so easy to be said to be happy, then there is something wrong. The other party is thinking, which actually means that his heart is moved.
Yelu Dezhong was overjoyed: "Not to mention the distance, I am still blessed by God. After many twists and turns, I am finally safe!"
Sure enough, after Gongsun Zhao pondered for a moment, he rolled up his sleeves and took him up: "Let's go!"
The magic method was activated again, and Yelu had to endure the pain.
Compared with Dai Zong's magical armor and horse leadership in the original work, Gongsun Zhao's divine walking skills are too torturous to lead, but now Yelu has no time to be picky. The sooner he returns to the land of Yanyun, his
The more at ease my mind becomes.
The whole journey was like lightning, and after an unknown amount of time, Gongsun Zhao paused and put him down: "Jizhou is here!"
Yelu De vomited heavily, feeling severe pain in his chest and abdomen. He raised his head with distorted features and a look of ecstasy in his eyes: "This king is finally back!"
However, soon, when he saw the long queue of victims and the cries of complaints at the city gate, his joy slowly disappeared.
Gongsun Zhao couldn't suppress his anger in his cold and solemn tone: "Is this the peace of the country and the people that your Excellency said?"
After confirming again that this was indeed Jizhou, Yelv Dezhong's face darkened.
No need to ask why, he also knew that this miserable situation must have been forced by the pressure of frontline food and fodder.
He didn't care at all about the life and death of the Han people. Even if hundreds of thousands of people died, he would not blink an eyelid.
However, the Han people in the fourteen states of Yanyun could not survive, and the government forced the people to rebel, causing turmoil in this small territory, but it was also crucial to the Liao Kingdom. Then his eyelids were about to jump like crazy.
"Your Majesty should not be the leader of a convoy..."
But after thinking about it, Yelu Dezhong could only sigh like Xiao Wuna.
The people of Yanyun Land are in dire straits, and the key lies in two points.
The first is the rise of rural soldiers in Hebei, which encountered strong obstacles to the Liao army's habitual plan to obtain grain locally.
The second was that Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo went on a personal expedition, especially with the large number of pleasure-loving Oruduo, which suddenly put heavy pressure on the army's food and fodder.
Even without the first point, after the Liao emperor's personal expedition, plundering alone was not enough. Food had to be brought from the territory of the Liao Kingdom. With the first point, the pressure became even greater, and then it all fell on the Han people of Yanyun.
On the body.
It is inevitable for two countries to go to war. The people of one country rise up to resist, which will inevitably cause greater pressure on the other country. It is impossible to choose to surrender in order to make the enemy country easier.
The people in some countries also support the war, and they deserve to live a miserable life, which is not even enough to atone for their sins. The people in the Yanyun land do not want to fight at all, but it is obviously impossible for the Han people in the Liao political arena to treat such
Major events have an impact, so they can only bear it passively...
Yelv Dezhong had also expected this a long time ago. Now that he saw that the people's plight was even more tragic than he imagined, he couldn't help but frown.
How to solve it?
Is it possible to ask Emperor Tianzuo to come back?
That person was so headstrong that he couldn't win the Daming Mansion and was willing to spend money outside. How could he turn back due to the pressure of Yanyun's food and grass from the rear?
This was Gongsun Zhao's hometown, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up Yelv Dezhong again and headed to Jiugong County.
When he arrived outside the county, he left the man behind and said coldly: "You can take care of yourself!"
Seeing that this person was about to leave, Yelv Dezhong relieved some of his doubts. If he was an undercover agent, how could he just abandon him and leave? The other party had such attainments in magic and was under the rule of Jizhou, so he even tried to subdue him.
Heart: "The road is long, wait!"
Gongsun Zhaoli ignored him and continued to move forward.
Yelu Dezhong's body became weak and he was unable to pursue it. He could only shout from a distance: "I want to find the Taoist leader. Where should I go?"
Gongsun Zhao frowned slightly, looked at a mountain not far away, and said a word, then his sleeves fluttered, and he walked farther and farther away until he disappeared into the clouds and mist of the mountain:
