On the cold day of the twenty-seventh year of Tianyun in Min and Liao Dynasties, the imperial court announced the death of Emperor Tianyun, and respected the emperor's edict that the second prince Yelu Longchang would succeed him as emperor. The whole country was sad.
On the day the imperial edict was read out, King Yelu Qingge of the North led an army of 80,000 cavalry to approach the outskirts of Shangjing. With the imperial edict written by Emperor Tianyun and the military talisman given by the emperor, he proclaimed the eldest prince Yelu Longsheng as the new emperor.
For a time, the true and false edicts caused chaos in the palace and an uproar in the world.
At the end of the twenty-seventh year of Min Liao.
Yelv Qingge, the king of the North, broke into the Minliao Imperial Palace with tens of thousands of imperial guards in the name of attacking the rebels who usurped the throne. It is said that the majestic inner courtyard of the palace turned into a hell on earth overnight, filled with blood, palaces and soldiers
The corpses of the deceased were piled up in the palace, and there were mournful cries and fires that burned through the sky. After the palace was breached, Queen Wuya climbed onto the tower in plain clothes, shouted the late emperor's name and jumped to her death. The whereabouts of the second prince Yelu Longchang is unknown.
.
On that day, the new emperor Yelu Longsheng ascended the throne, changed the name of the country to Yongkang, and made the capital Beijing.
The first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Yongkang.
The Wuya clan gathered hundreds of thousands of tribesmen from the eighteen tribes in the eastern grassland and approached the capital. They took up the banner of revenge for the former emperor and queen, and wanted to stir up trouble and continue to support the second prince Yelu Longchang as the new emperor.
As the two armies were confronting each other, fighting suddenly broke out at the border.
A thousand-year-old temple on the border of the Jiang-Song Kingdom was burned and looted at night by Min-Liao border people. More than 200 monks in the temple were all beheaded and died. The incident shocked the Hongwu Continent. On the day the temple was destroyed, Emperor Qianyuan, the king of the Jiang-Song Kingdom,
Immediately, they announced the dispatch of troops and launched an attack on Beidi City outside the Chunjiang River boundary.
The capital of Min and Liao Dynasties, Shangjing.
The rising sun was blocked by the heavy mist, and the sky was gray-white. Standing on the tower and looking out, the swarming army in the distance rolled up the yellow sand in the sky and rolled forward...
Agula hurriedly walked over. "General, the letter has arrived at Beidicheng quickly!" He handed the unopened letter to Yelu Qingge.
The tower was windy, Yelu Qingge picked up the letter, tore open the seal and read it quickly. After a moment, his thick eyebrows knitted into a ball, raised his hand to crumble the letter, threw it under his feet, and crushed it.
Seeing this, Agula asked cautiously: "General, is there something wrong in the Northland?" The Northland City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is steep, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the Huo family's army is led by a world-famous military general, it will not be so easy.
Able to break through.
Yelu Qingge had a cold expression, staring at the Wuya tribe under the city tower with deep eyes, and said angrily: "I will kill the traitor who betrays the sovereignty of the country with my own hands!"
Agula was surprised: "General, what do you mean, the war was caused by the second emperor...the rebel Yelu Longchang?"
Yelu Qingge nodded and said: "Muren has found out that Yelu Longchang, who escaped from the Beidi Posthouse and escaped from the city that day, slipped out of the border and entered the Jiang and Song Dynasties in disguise, and then returned to Beijing by water. He and the king of the Jiang and Song Dynasties should have reached a certain agreement.
If this agreement fails, he will help the enemy to attack Min Liao, and if successful, he will become a puppet emperor dependent on the enemy." The rebels under the city must be the conspiracy behind Queen Wuya's treacherous and sinister smile before she died.
Her son could not become emperor, and no one else could get involved in Min and Liao.
Agula gritted his teeth and said: "Traitor!"
Yelu Qingge's deep black eyes were as dark as the winter night sky, staring coldly at the rebels below the city. "Agula."
"The end is here!"
"The Northland cannot survive the end of the month. We must defeat the rebels in the near future before we can rush back to the border to rescue the enemy!"
Agula said worriedly: "Although the Wuya clan is not as powerful as the cavalry in combat, they are better because of their large numbers and their endless supply of food and grass. It is not easy for us to fight a blitzkrieg."
Following his worries, the messenger ran all the way, knelt down ten feet away and said "report"
"speak!"
"Reporting to the general, the vanguard army has discovered that the rebels are attacking the city in three groups!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a "dong dong" sound that shook the entire capital came from the city gate.
Yelu Qingge pursed her thin lips tightly, her brows were resolute, and she commanded sonorously: "Agula!"
"The end is here!"
"You quickly have 50,000 elite cavalrymen withdraw from the south gate and enter Yinshan Mountain to lie dormant!"
"No way, General!" The previous battle with the Imperial Guards had already resulted in a lot of loss of troops. If he escaped from Shangjing with most of his elite troops, wouldn't the General be left unguarded?
"It is enough to leave 10,000 troops to guard the gate in Beijing." Yelu Qingge looked far ahead and said: "There is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us, so we should avoid frontal combat. Yinshan Mountain is the place where the Wuya tribe must pass through when transporting grain and grass. Agula, I order you to take advantage of this.
If a surprise force is sent out at night to attack the weak rebel army, it will inevitably cut off their food routes, destroy their backup forces, and leave the rebel army in an isolated situation."
Agula was stunned for a moment before he finally realized the general's intention of ordering him to lead his troops to retreat to the Yinshan Mountains. He showed admiration and bowed his head to obey the order. "General is wise! However, the situation in the capital before the raid was successful was worrying! General
.." Agula was still worried about whether the more than 10,000 elites could withstand the repeated attacks of hundreds of thousands of rebels.
Yelu Qingge waved his hand and said: "Leave me alone! With the power of the Emperor here, what do you have to fear from the rebellious ministers and traitors! Agula, you quickly lead your troops and horses to retreat from Yinshan without any mistakes!"
Agula didn't dare to persuade him anymore, he immediately lowered his head and said: "Yes, general!"
Yelu Qingge waved his hand, and when Agula turned around to leave, he gritted his teeth and reminded: "General, you must take care of yourself! Miss Mayne is still waiting for the general to rescue her in the North City!"
Yelu Qingge's stern face, which was as cold as an ice sculpture, became a little looser. In just a moment, his expression returned to its previous calmness.
"For the sake of Meengiya, and for the sake of Min Liao's Qianqiu foundation, Agula, in tonight's battle, we can only win but not lose!"
Agula was so excited by his pride that his blood surged and his eyes became hot. He took a step back, knelt down on one knee, pricked his finger with a sword and swore an oath of blood. "General, don't worry, as long as I, Agula, are here, the rebels will never step into the Imperial Palace."
