Chapter 1824 How to hold the country firmly after conquering the country?
Yelu Yu saw him lying on the ground with a group of accompanying generals. Although his statement was sincere, Xiao Tang also knew that compared with the straightforward men he met in the arena, he only said "come in water, come in fire, come in fire."
"Go, I am willing to entrust my life to my brother." After that, they became confidant brothers who share weal and woe. Yelu Yu saw this kind of personal experience and participated in the rise and fall of the Song, Jin, and Liao Dynasties, and has been trying to adapt to the changes in the current situation.
However, the words of Cousin Zhong, a member of the royal family who has made great achievements in the world, cannot be fully believed. When he was the brother-in-law of Emperor Liao Tianzuo, why didn't he talk about protecting the country with all his heart? And Yelu
After Yu Jian defected to the Jinren, were the words he expressed his loyalty to Wanyan Aguda the same as what he said to me today?
Of course, people like Yelu Yujian would not care about loyalty. His rebellion against Liao and Jin was all based on his own position, and one day Yelu Yuji realized that he did not have to succumb to Xiao and Tang.
, if there is any hope of restoring and re-establishing the country as a Yelv clan, there is no guarantee that he will not have very strange thoughts again.
However, now that the Khitan army led by Yelu Yujian had surrendered, Xiao Tang of course showed a polite attitude towards him. He immediately got off his horse, stepped forward and personally helped Yelu Yujian up, and said kindly
"I've heard for a long time that General Yelu is famous as a talented man, and that He has a profound understanding of righteousness. He led all the tribesmen to drive away the Jin captives and survey the mountains and rivers. This is really a blessing for our army! With General Yelu willing to help us, great things can be expected!"
When Yeluyu saw it, his faces showed fear and joy, and they looked happy, and he led his troops into Fanyang County.
According to the official system in the south of the Liao Dynasty, it also belonged to the government department of Zhuozhou. Xiao Tang was at the top, and the brothers who came together with Yan Qing, Xiao Jiasui, Shi Xiu, etc. met Yelu Yu and even obeyed him.
When the Khitan general responded and discussed his plans, he quickly said that now that all the key points had been cleared, it was time to gather troops and go straight to Yanjing. Seeing that Yeluyu also took the initiative, he immediately stood up and asked for orders: "
Xiao Shuai's leadership has repeatedly frustrated the Jin people's vigor. Now the soldiers and horses defending Yan are exhausted. Once Yanjing is breached again, how can the Jin people's soldiers from other state capitals in the south and the powerful people from all over the world not surrender? Although I have offered my sacrifice.
The three states sincerely surrender, and Xiao Shuai is determined not to take credit for himself. In order to achieve great things in one fell swoop, I am willing to ask Ying to be a vanguard and help the army to reach Yanjing and do my best!"
"...Yanjing is, after all, the capital of the land of Yanyun. It is also a place where the city is high and dangerous, and the trenches are wide and deep. The city's danger is far from comparable to other important places in the state capitals. Although Jinlu was frightened, but
Assemble a heavy force and defend to the death. If we attack rashly, it will only increase casualties and it may not be possible. Besides, although General Yelu is sincere, I have already made plans on how to capture Yanjing. I just hope that the general and his subordinates will cooperate with each other according to the order."
Hearing Yelu Yujian rush to ask for orders, Xiao Tang said calmly, then pondered for a moment, and then said: "And instead of using force to take advantage of the situation and occupy Yanyun's land, what needs to be considered more carefully is how to appease the lands.
The hearts of the people. When the Song Dynasty took the opportunity to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, Tong Guannaquan also attacked Yanjing. However, the backlash aroused the resentment of the people in the city, and they all had the desire to fight to the death. Together with the remnants of the Liao army, they mourned the troops.
On the contrary, more than half of the Song army was killed or wounded. At that time, Yelu Dashi commanded his troops to kill him. The Xi King Xiao Qian divided his troops to cut off the grain road. Instead, he killed the Song army until they trampled on each other. They lay dead for more than a hundred miles and even fled back to Xiongzhou in embarrassment.
...I, the Xiaotang Dynasty, asked myself that the imperial soldiers swore not to harm ordinary people, but the current affairs and people's conditions in the land of Yanyun and the various states in the Song Dynasty were also very different. The people of the Central Plains persisted in defending the infringements of the gold thieves, and deeply hated the rampant gold thieves for a long time.
, I Xingyi Division expelled the raging and ruthless bandits, and performed many righteous deeds, which was enough to win over the hearts and minds of relatives in the people and villages in Song Dynasty.
The land of Yanyun is not only occupied by the sons of the Han family, but also the Khitan, Bohai, and Xi tribes. Although they were originally subjects of the Liao Kingdom, they had already surrendered to the Jin Kingdom. It had not been a few years, but now the state affairs
The situation is turbulent again. The states and prefectures have changed their flags and owners. Although the people's minds have changed, we cannot blindly follow the method of appeasing the people of the Song Dynasty. After all, we need three armies to conquer the country immediately.
We must work hard, but in order to secure this country, we must also think about the sentiments and sentiments of the people in various places in Yanyun, and even the thoughts of the subordinate tribes towards our army, as well as the garrison and management in various places, how the generals and officials should be used, we must also think about it at this time.
It’s appropriate.”
On the surface, Yeluyu seemed to be obeying his advice. When he heard Xiaotang talking about "securing this country" and the Yanyun land being subordinated to his tribes and tribes, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes. Then Yeluyu
He quickly said yes again and again, but he didn't know that the subtle changes in the expression on his face also fell in the eyes of the leaders such as Yan Qing and Xiao Jiasui who seemed to be submissive to Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang changed the subject and continued: "The Song court was unable to resist the invasion of the Jin army. It was also due to the ignorance of the court that it chilled the whole world. Therefore, the morale of the military and the people were unavailable. Although the Jin State occupied the entire territory of the Liao Dynasty,
It didn't last long. Except for other Jurchen tribes, most of the people in Zhemo didn't have any attachment to their homeland. As for the matter of recruiting and appeasing the people of all ethnic groups in the land of Yanyun, General Yelu was originally from the Liao Kingdom.
The heroes of the clan, who are familiar with the local people's conditions, also need to ask for their full help. Of course, trying their best to win the hearts and minds of the people in various places, and the hearts of the scholars who had no choice but to surrender to the Jin people, must have the foundation for building a country, and teach Yan
The scholars and people in the Yun lands have their own aspirations and will no longer submit and submit as obedient people under the rule of the Jin Kingdom... In addition to General Yelu, there are also many people who are originally from the land of Yanyun and are good at managing civil affairs, and
Only talented people who are well-known in the local area who can coordinate the relations between all ethnic groups and maintain long-term peace and stability can achieve great things by working together. So today I am not only fortunate to have General Yelu and his troops willing to work with me to achieve great things.
, we can also take this opportunity to bring over some old friends to meet Xun Si."
"Old friend?"
Yeluyu couldn't help but be startled when he heard what Xiao Tang said. Compared with when he had no choice but to rebel against Liao and flee to join the Jin people, he still clearly remembered the awe-inspiring and domineering power of being beaten to the bone by Wanyan, the leader of the Jurchen Alliance.
Intimidated. However, compared to the one who came to surrender to Xiao Tang today, Yelu Yujian also clearly felt that the opponent's momentum was certainly not as powerful as that of Aguda, the hero of the generation, and his whole body seemed to be exuding an aggressive energy.
He had a domineering attitude, but although Xiao Tang was more casual and kind, his kind eyes seemed to penetrate directly into his heart when he came over. After talking to him, Xiao Tang seemed to have noticed what thoughts he had.
Of course, Yelu Yujian would never know that Xiao Tang would always consider the nature revealed in the words and deeds of people whose lives and deeds have been clearly recorded in history books, no matter whether they were enemies or friends. But now he heard that Xiao Tang
Having said that, Yelu Yu couldn't help but murmur in his heart: The Xiao Tang Dynasty is now very prosperous and is not arrogant at all. It is also as far-sighted as Aguda back then. Before using troops to occupy the territory of Daliao, he thought about how to control the people of Liao.
Return to your heart and make further arrangements...
From this point of view... If we, Yelu Daliao, want to re-establish the state and continue the country to Zuo, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult...
When Yelu Yujian was thinking, several people who had been summoned by Xiao Tang had also been led into the government hall. Yelu Yujian immediately looked over and took a look at the appearance of the middle-aged man who was the leader.
At this time, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he stood up suddenly, saying in surprise: "It's you!?"
The middle-aged man whom Xiao Tang summoned to lead him couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Yelu Yujian, nodded, and said generously: "Yes...it's me...General Yelu, you and I have been in the same palace for two dynasties."
As officials...it's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time."
But that middle-aged man was the one who led the rebel armies to intercept and defeat the main force of the Jin army, which was commanded by Bodhisattva Prince Wanyan Orulubu, and rescued Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, the two emperors, and even the children of the Song Dynasty clan.
The officials and people of the Song Dynasty who were kidnapped by the Jin captives were captured alive by the rebel general Sun An. Later, for a long period of time, there seemed to be no news about Liu Yanzong, the Han commander of the Han Dynasty who invaded the Song and Jin armies.
