Chapter 1427 Yelu has no successor, isn't there still the Xiao family?
"What!?"
After hearing this, Dalibo's beauty suddenly turned pale, and a look of despair could be seen in her eyes.
His father, Yelu Chun, died of illness. Although she was not her biological mother, Dalibo also respected Xiao Pu's daughter as mother. Although she temporarily took charge of the affairs of the court, she did not listen to the affairs behind the curtain like she did before. Instead, she led the Liao Dynasty into the period of its greatest national power. The Emperor and Empress Xiao Chuo's ability to govern the country cannot be inherited, especially now that the country is in critical juncture, and the newly appointed Lord of the Liao Dynasty, Yelv Ding, has little knowledge. As for his father, Emperor Liao Tianzuo, Yelu Yanxi... ....If it hadn't been for the ignorant and unprincipled ruler of the Liao Dynasty, the political system of the Liao Kingdom would not have collapsed in the past few years, and the Jin Kingdom would have taken advantage of it.
If the destruction of the country is a foregone conclusion and there is no way to save it, then the important task of restoring the country must fall on the children of the Yelu clan who have outstanding ability and prestige within the Khitan nation. Then, together with Xiao Qian, support the remnants of the Daoliao army in Nanjing In this situation, Yelu Dashi, who defeated the Song army in a fierce battle and gave a glimmer of hope to the Liao Dynasty, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to lead the Khitan people who did not want to be slaves to the subjugation of the country to continue to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
But now Yelu Dashi has also been captured alive by the Jin army...Dalibo asked himself and Yelu Guozhen, although Yelu Guozhen has the courage to lead the army in battle, there are no children of the Yelu family who have the talent to revive the country. , I am afraid that I will no longer be able to fight the Jin Kingdom to the end.
Seeing that Da Libo, Yelu Guozhen, Yelu Guobao and other descendants of the remaining clan members of the Liao Dynasty, as well as other Liao generals, looked despairing, although Xiao Tang was inconvenient to express his true thoughts, he concluded that although Yelu Dashi was temporarily gold-plated, He was captured by the army, but as a hero with his own talents and strategies, he also had the quick wit to adapt to changes. He should be able to turn the danger into safety this time.
Because in the official history, Yelu Dashi was captured by the Jin army and later escaped. However, after he defected to Emperor Tianzuo, Yelu Yanxi could not forgive him for proclaiming Yelu Chun as emperor without permission in Yanjing. After deposing himself, his military power was stripped away. Knowing that there was no hope for the country to survive against the Jin Kingdom, Yelu Dashi immediately led more than 200 of his cavalry to escape overnight. Along the way, he recruited various tribes of the Tibetan army and established the Western Army in Central Asia. The Liao Empire also continued the Liao Dynasty's reign...
In other words, even if Yelu Dashi will eventually turn danger into safety and indeed create some great achievements, these Khitan tribes who still stay in their hometowns and do not want to be ruled by the Jurchens for generations people, but they can no longer count on him to lead the people to revitalize Daliao.
Of course, Xiao Tang would not tell anyone about his seemingly prophetic words to Da Libo and others. Moreover, after discussions with Xiao Jiasui and other close brothers, it is said that Xiao Tang had considered the possibility and necessity of joining forces with Yelu Dashi. , but now I have made up my mind: since some people think that there is no hope of restoring the country and migrate westward, from my standpoint, I might as well let them go...
The faces of Da Libo and others in front of them were still gloomy. There is no greater sorrow than death. Xiao Tang coughed slightly, and then comforted him: "People have misfortunes and fortunes, and the fortunes of a country rise and fall. Of course, the princess and the two princes are hurt. However, based on the current situation, even though the fortune of the Jin Kingdom was at its peak, many of the people under its rule were forced to surrender. The Jin Kingdom thought that it was invincible in the world, and was rampant in corruption and obscenity, but it invaded the Liao Dynasty. The territory does not last long. Once you have the desire to look forward to Shu and start a war rashly, you will have the opportunity to counterattack and counterattack the Jin Kingdom. You must also have great things in mind, and don't lose your ambition because of the current decline."
Although he listened to Xiao Tang's consolation, Dalibo looked sad and did not say anything for a while, while Yelu Guozhen who was beside him cursed fiercely and said: "Even if we and other unscrupulous descendants are ashamed of our ancestors, the Khitan people will still have good blood after all.
Man, how can you be willing to work as a cow or a horse for a golden dog, or even have your descendants to be slaves for a hundred generations!? Now you should give it a try, even if you die on the battlefield, it will be a happy death! But now I, a descendant of the Yelu clan, have turned upside down.
There were also many rebels who went to the Golden Dog, and the rest who were determined to protect the country and resisted died in the battle, and those who were captured were captured, even Dashi Linya... Alas!"
Yelu Guozhen was gnashing his teeth and resentful. At any rate, he and his brother Yelu Guobao had some self-awareness. They fought against the Jin Kingdom and revived the Khitan ethnic group. This was a burden that they alone, and even their elder sister Dalibo, who had always admired, could not bear it.
However, at this moment, He Chongbao, who had been silent and looking sad and angry, thought for a moment, but seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Since the founding of the Khitan nation and the founding of the dynasty, Yelu
I share the same sentiments as Xiao. Xiao Renxia is from the Xiao family of the Liao Dynasty. Now that he has decided to lead all the righteous men under his command to fight against the golden dog with the same hatred as me, but the general and his soldiers are still alive, and
How can there be no hope of national restoration?”
As soon as these words came out, Libo and Yelu Guozhen, and Yelu Guobao's expressions changed slightly. Although He Chongbao did not say clearly, Xiao Tang had previously served as an envoy of the Song Dynasty to the Liao Dynasty and had an audience with the emperor.
He had also interacted with Dashi Linya, He Chongbao and other court officials, and caused a big disturbance during his mission... How could Da Libo and others not know that although Xiao Tang was a member of the Song Dynasty first?
A high-ranking official and important minister, he later defected from the court and became the most powerful rebel leader in the Song Dynasty. However, looking at the origin, wasn't he also from the Xiao family who had shared weal and woe with the Yelu family since the founding of the Liao Dynasty!?
However, regardless of whether He Chongbao did it deliberately or not, what he said seemed to be a double entendre. While he expected Xiao Tang to mobilize his troops to fight against the Jin Kingdom alongside the rest of the Liao Dynasty, he actually seemed to be willing to serve him as the leader. This is also
Teach Libo and others immediately felt a wave of confusion in their hearts. The Yelv family has been the royal family of the Liao Dynasty for generations, so how can they teach others to get involved in the throne?
But today is different from the past. The current situation of the country's subjugation cannot be changed, and there is no hope of restoring the country. At this time, Da Libo and others can't help but think: now the country is about to die, and the descendants of the Yelv family of the Liao Dynasty are withering away.
, there are no more heroes with great talents and great strategies to gather the people. If one day we can drive out the golden dog and regain the country... If we insist on maintaining the royal orthodoxy of the Liao Dynasty, instead of continuing to teach the Jurchens and enslave the Khitan people for generations, it is better to
Would you rather teach the descendants of the Xiao family, who are closely related to the Yelv family, to compete for the throne?
There was silence for a moment in the Luannan County government office. Among Xiao Tang's subordinates and confidants present, Xiao Jiasui, Shi Xiu and others were all careful and alert people. After listening to He Chongbao's words, their minds were changing rapidly and their faces were still.
In fact, he was also paying attention to the changes in expressions on the faces of Da Libo, Yelu Guozhen, and Yelu Guobao.
As for Xiao Tang, who also didn't know whether what He Chongbao said was intentional or unintentional, he pretended to be confused and just said: "Compared with Jiang Jun who has been forced to submit to the power of the Jin country and cannot lift his head or straighten his back,
He Tongjun and the princess have been able to endure until today with a breath of blood in their chests, which also shows your determination to fight to the death against the Jin Dynasty. Neither you nor I will give up until the last moment.
The tribes of Shengnuzhi originally fished and hunted in the white mountains and black waters, and were fierce and ferocious in nature. Now they have annexed the territory of the iron Khitan and the people are ambitious and even enjoy fighting with soldiers and horses. Once they become prosperous, they may not only be the people of the Liao Dynasty.
The pain of being trapped in a military disaster... Most of the courageous brothers under my command are heroes who are not afraid to poke a hole in the sky, and do not want to watch the Kingdom of Jin occupy this country. Take advantage of its arrogance
It’s a good time to plan and plan, but we can only stay dormant for a while, so we have a chance to restore the situation.”
He Chongbao's words were ambiguous, and Xiao Tang's words seemed to have a different meaning. Dalibo couldn't help but look at each other with Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao. Judging from their expressions, they all had complicated thoughts. But they also all had complicated thoughts.
It is very clear that no matter what happens in the future, now the only choice is to rely on Xiao Tang and let him arrange to recuperate his strength and then plot to resist the Jin Kingdom. Apart from this, there is no other way out.
