Chapter 2118 Desert Gobi, the start of the outpost war
Jun Jianduo, who served as the guard of Xiao Tang in the inner city of the palace, was an expert in martial arts. The sergeant whose sword was suddenly pulled out from his waist came to his senses and reacted quickly, but his skills were even more impressive.
Yelu Guobao, who was the better one, caught him by surprise and kicked him out again. With a "Boom!" sound, he knocked the guard to the ground, and the stolen sword was tightly held in his hand.
Seeing the strange movements of the Yelu National Treasure, He Chongbao, Yi Lacheng, Ali Qi, Qiong Yao Nayan and others immediately exclaimed. The figure of Yan Qing, who was sitting next to Xiao Tang, suddenly flashed, and he was about to see it.
The ghost came to the side of Yelu Guobao, and he secretly said in his heart that even with his nature, he would not suddenly turn his back and intend to assassinate brother Xiao Tang, who was a great benefactor to the Yelu clan... But if this Yelu Guobao was serious, he would
Yelu Dashi admires him so much that he is willing to risk his life, and he has the intention to do harm to his brother on a temporary basis. With my current ability, I should be able to control him immediately!
However, Yelu Guobao, who suddenly rose up, did not rush towards Xiao Tang. Instead, the sharp edge of the sharp sword in his hand was placed on his neck. Yelu Guobao immediately tried to kill himself, and blood spattered before his eyes.
on the spot!
In an instant, Yelu Guobao suddenly felt a black shadow rushing towards him. He stretched out his two hands and tightly grasped the edge of the sharp sword that was about to cut his throat. Although he stopped the force, he could
Bright red blood immediately oozed out from between ten delicate jade fingers...
Although she had already entered the palace and became a concubine of Xiao Tang, Yelv Dallibo could not stand still. She could also compete with Hu Sanniang, Gao Zhanling and other sisters who were also good at wielding swords and guns, and she still had not given up her skills.
Compared with his weak sister Yu Liyan, Da Libo, who had led the remaining troops of the Liao Dynasty to fight against the Jin army in the past, was also a person who could make decisions, so he also participated in the secret meeting where Xiao Tang summoned the former Liao Dynasty clan and important ministers. Seeing this
Yelu Guobao suddenly moved, and Dalibo, who was sitting next to him, immediately realized what his clan brother wanted...
Even as Yan Qingxuan arrived, his hands stretched out as if they were catching shadows. Yelu Guobao felt his eyes blurred again. At the same time, his elbows and knee joints suddenly became sore and numb. Not only was the tight sword held tightly by Da Libo,
Yan Qing snatched it away with his sword, and Yelu Guobao was easily knocked to the ground by Yan Qing like a weak scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken. His body was pinned down to the ground, and he was unable to struggle at all.
Get up!
Yelu Guobao had no time to be surprised and wonder when Yan Qing, a close minister of Xiao Tang, had developed such superb martial arts. He also didn't care that his actions could be said to have collided with the Holy Driver. He strained his neck and raised his head with great effort.
Looking at the blood dripping between his fingers, Libo shouted anxiously: "Sister! Why are you doing this!?"
"Dang clang" the sword fell to the ground with a clear sound. Dalibo sighed quietly and said sadly: "You and I grew up together, and we have always had the deepest feelings among the clan children. Later, we also fought against the Jin Dynasty together.
Soldiers are born and go through life and death...Of course I know your temperament best. I knew your plan just by looking at your expression...But why are you bothering? You are in a dilemma, so why should you seek short-sightedness?"
Seeing this, Yelu Guobao lowered his head in annoyance, and his face almost fell to the ground. He still said in annoyance: "Otherwise, what else can I do? It would be better for me to die together with my brother in the battle to destroy the gold.
This saves us from being in such a dilemma today! Dashi Linya is our closest relative, and he is the title of the Liao Dynasty. It is absolutely impossible for me to be an enemy of him! But we have indeed received great favor from His Majesty, and we have already
He surrendered to the Qi Dynasty, but who would have expected that Dashi Linya would reestablish the Liao Dynasty in the far west and be at odds with our dynasty, so he could only become an enemy!?
The palms and backs of these palms are full of flesh. No matter which side you lean on, even if you say you are avoiding confrontation with the other side, you will still treat yourself as an enemy. Isn't this deceiving yourself? If you have no choice, you have to fight against either His Majesty or Dashi Linya. If you fall out and use a knife, why don't I kill myself with a knife, so as not to be disloyal or unjust, and it will be settled once and for all!"
Xiao Tang hurriedly stepped forward to see the injury of Libo, and immediately sent for the palace medical officer to bandage the wound. After that, he looked down at Yelu National Treasure and sighed: "You think you are still loyal to me, that's it. You are unjust to Yelv Dashi, and if you turn to Yelv Dashi, you are disloyal to me... Therefore, you would rather commit suicide than betray any party, rather than be a disloyal and unjust person. This is indeed commendable. .....
But your brother has died fighting for the country, and now you kill yourself again, which will only cause your blood sisters to mourn for you, and will I and Yelu Dashi give up because of you? Isn’t this useless? If you If you think you are just avoiding a direct conflict with Yelu Dashi and are still being used by the Qi Dynasty, you are deceiving yourself. You might as well temporarily hand over your official title and military power. When will it be connected, I will teach you how to reinstate the official position... and don't think about it anymore. You are committing suicide, and you are mostly thinking about your relatives and sisters who have always been with you!"
"This..." Yelu Guobao was speechless and lowered his head dejectedly. Then he was taken away by Ban Zhi, a large number of imperial guards who arrived. Although Dalibo had become the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, The concubine was naturally on the side of Xiao Tang, but in fact, she had thought about it repeatedly before, and had also begged Xiao Tang: If one day the Qi Dynasty suppresses the empire established by her brother and can control the Yelv Dashi, will it be possible? Can you spare his life and not kill him?
Although I and that talented man from the Yelu clan used to appreciate each other, now we have become each other's biggest obstacle to achieving hegemony. If my life falls into his hands, will Yelu Dashi be merciful?
Although Xiao Tang thought so, he still verbally agreed to Da Libo. However, if the situation really develops to that point, I am afraid that some special means will inevitably be used.
As for Da Libo and Yelu National Treasure, they are the blood relatives of Yelu Dashi. Although they are inevitably hesitant and contradictory, they can at least express their attitudes directly, which can actually make Xiao Tang feel at ease. However, other Khitan officials under the Qi Dynasty are just like in the official history When they had conflicts with the Jin Kingdom and Xiliao, due to the long distances, most people could only continue to accept their status as rulers of the Jin Kingdom. But now the Qi Dynasty can pass through the Xia Kingdom, and Xiliao can ensure logistics through the Xizhou Uighurs. Launching large-scale wars against each other, there are probably some people among the Khitan tribes who plan to wait and see how the situation evolves. If the Qi Dynasty can overwhelm the Xiliao Dynasty, they will of course still be loyal to Xiao and Tang Dynasty, but if Yelu Dashi can After defeating the Qi army and returning to the homeland of the Liao Dynasty, I am afraid that there will still be Khitan tribes that will respond to their previous Dashi Linya banner and raise the banner of regaining the Liao Dynasty...
Of course, during this period, Shi Xiu was in charge and the Yiluan Town Fusi still held special powers, so the espionage activities arranged by it could not help but become more frequent.
At least now, trying to calm and stabilize the situation in the country as much as possible, the dragon chariot and Luan Yu set off from Daming Mansion, marching in the direction of Yumen Pass under the guard of nearly 100,000 troops.
At the same time, the Qi Dynasty military brigade that had arrived at Yumen Pass at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor had also dispatched troops to the west to scout out posts to protect Li Yun. Tao Zongwang and others led their troops to build military strongholds at locations along the way.
Ensure smooth roads for the transportation of supplies and supplies for the subsequent army and logistics.
However, officials from the Western Liao Empire had been dispatched to supervise state affairs and collect tribute, and the Xizhou Uighurs, who were willing to be subordinates, certainly could not stand idly by when they learned that the Qi army had entered their country. Aslan Khan (the supreme ruler of the Xizhou Uighurs)
The emperor, who is commensurate with the rank of Khan (also known as Aslan Khan, meaning Lion King), sent envoys to report the military situation to Yelu Dashi, who was gathering an army.
When several groups of light cavalry sentry horses met, they also had several small-scale encounters. As each other's sentinel and horse troops found traces of the enemy, the scale of the war inevitably escalated...
