Chapter 581 Liao Kingdom Nanjing, two unified armies
Since Yelu Dashi came to verify the identity of Xiao Tang and other envoys from the Song Dynasty, the prefect of Jinzhou and the generals such as Jie'er Weikang in the city naturally held a grand banquet and treated Xiao Tang and others warmly. Among them, Jie'er Wei Kang
Kang and other generals were sincerely impressed by Xiao Tang's ability, and often came forward to toast him frequently, praising Xiao Renxia for his reputation as a well-deserved one.
There has been no war between Song and Liao for a hundred years. Now the Song Dynasty has not unilaterally broken the alliance because it wants to regain the Yanyun Sixteen States and allied with the Jurchen tribes to attack the Liao Dynasty. In addition, the Khitan Erlang has great respect for heroes with strong martial arts.
The other generals in the city also seemed very enthusiastic and congratulated Xiao Tang for his ability to survive the dangerous situation.
Early the next morning, under the escort of a group of Jinzhou officials, Xiao Tang, Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Yi, and Duan Jingzhu set out on the road with Yelu Dashi and his entourage, and passed through Laizhou, Qianzhou and other places.
The boundaries of Nanjing Road in Liao Dynasty.
It has entered the autumn season, and the weather is no longer as hot as the summer. When the autumn wind blows, the leaves fall one after another, and the withered yellow leaves fall to the ground one by one. Although it makes people look lonely, autumn is also a harvest.
In this season, when the crops are slowly swaying in the sunshine and emitting a golden color, the farmers and villagers who have worked hard for a year in the fields on both sides can also show happy smiles.
At this time, Xiao Tang was riding in a van with Yelu Dashi, but when he saw Yelu Dashi looking out the window at the farmers passing by from time to time, his expression became more and more serious, and he was thinking about something.
Xiao Tang knew that he was worried about his troubled motherland. Although the Liao Kingdom was still able to control the Shangjing Road, Zhongjing Road, Nanjing Road and other territories, except for the Liaodong region where the regime had fallen apart, bandits were invading all over the Liao territory.
There are also several groups of rebels and rebels who are ready to take action. Unfortunately, Emperor Tianzuo who is now in power is a complete fool. How could Ye Qian Dashi not worry about the country and the people?
However, even though he, Yelu Dashi, was a talented leader, he was still unable to turn the tide and restore the Liao's former glory. Yelu Dashi could only lead the remaining troops to the Western Regions and Central Asia when the great trees of the Liao Kingdom were about to fall.
He waited for other places to establish new empires, but could not stop the rising Jin Kingdom from overthrowing and destroying their own motherland.
In other words, what I, Xiao Tang, need to do is to be better than him, the founder of Western Liao...
At this moment, Yelu Dashi suddenly said: "It would be great if the people in Liaodong and other places could live as peacefully and happily as the villagers here. Xiao Renxia, we, Liaodong and Liaodong, have experienced disasters one after another, causing countless people to suffer
Xie has experienced the ups and downs personally. It’s a pity that I, Yelv Dashikong, have the ambition to serve the country, but because of my lack of experience, I can’t teach those rebellious ministers and traitors to be punished. Alas... I only hope that Xie will visit me again.
When our ancestors were in their homeland, both the Liao Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty enjoyed peace and prosperity."
Xiao Tang secretly sighed after hearing this. Not only was the foundation of Liao Dynasty gradually eroded according to its original trajectory, but now the Song Dynasty was also in ruins. Emperor Tianzuo and Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty were competing against a dim and unclear emperor to control the government.
, no matter how great the Yegan Stone is, I'm afraid it will be powerless.
Feeling something in his heart, Xiao Tang said: "If the ruler is immoral, even if there are loyal and virtuous people to assist him, good strategies for governing the country will never reach the ninth level. As the saying goes, the Tao is high and the integrity is low, and people are base and righteous. A gentleman is confused by the subtlety.
, Don’t be confused by the great; the villain is concerned about the near and not the far. If the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty are all under the control of the powerful and traitors, as the leader of a country and unable to understand the turbulence of national affairs, I am afraid that he will only be tired.
Although the virtuous ministers in the court are determined to serve the country, they cannot always fulfill their own wishes."
It is said that Xiao Tang had made his words more subtle and did not directly insult Emperor Tianzuo in front of Yelu Dashi. Song Huizong was a bastard when it came to governing the country. Yelu Dashi had a lot of talent and knowledge, and of course he could hear Xiao Tang's words.
The implication was that he was slightly startled at first, and then said with a sullen look on his face: "Xiao Renxia, although you are a well-known hero in the Southern Dynasty court, it is unreasonable to gossip about the state affairs of the Liao Dynasty like this.
Bar?"
"...What Dashi Shali said was that my words were reckless at the moment, so how could I speak nonsense about the state affairs of the Liao Dynasty? I hope you can forgive me."
Xiao Tang smiled bitterly, and then said to Yelu Dashi. In fact, he also knew that the Yelu royal family was very aware that since Emperor Tianzuo came to the throne, the increasingly turbulent situation in the Liao Kingdom has been worsened, but it is not yet the time for him to become more and more worried because of Emperor Tianzuo.
With his foolish behavior, the situation of the Liao Kingdom became increasingly chaotic and completely disheartened, and when he and other ministers appointed Yelu Chun as emperor, Xiao Tang was still a minister of the Song Dynasty, so it was unreasonable to accuse his own monarch in person of his incompetence in governing the country.
It will inevitably make Yelu Dashi sound very harsh.
But even if Yelu Dashi can become a capable minister who can assist the country in the world, he can also become a wise king in troubled times. When a country is in a terminal illness, if you still can't get rid of the shackles of foolish and loyal thoughts, no matter how hard you try, it will be too late.
.....
After a conversation that was not very harmonious, Xiao Tang and Yelu Dashi had much less long conversations. The journey was uneventful. The car battle passed through Pingzhou, Jizhou and other places and arrived at one of the five capitals of Liao Dynasty.
On the outskirts of Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing, Yelu Dashi, Xiao Tang, Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong and others also mounted their horses, and they would be able to enter the city in about half an hour.
Xiao Tang, Yelu Dashi and others walked for a while. Suddenly, smoke and dust billowed from the north of the official road. Another group of men and horses came from Juechen. However, they saw that the two generals leading them were very tall. One of the Liao generals had a head.
Wearing a purple gold crown with seven treasures, a golden tortoise shell with shining sun, a splendid robe of Sichuan and Shu, and an exquisite belt of beautiful jade from Lantian. On the left is a gold-painted iron bow, and on the right is a phoenix-feathered arrow. Wearing eagle-beaked cloud-root boots, and riding an iron spine.
The horse has a silver mane, a brocade eagle saddle and golden stirrups, and a purple silk rein to hold the mountain horse firmly. The outfit is very majestic.
The other general wears a bright frost iron helmet, a sun-drenched chain armor, green cloud-root boots, and a tortoise-back Suan Ni belt around his waist. He is lined with a brocaded crimson robe and holds an iron mace. That general is not only fierce.
Meng, nearly a foot long, was about two feet taller than the previous Liao soldier. Behind these two generals were followed by three or four generals. When they saw clearly, Yelu Dashi, a clan member of the Liao Dynasty royal family, was standing in front of them.
After the team of men and horses were in the middle, they hurriedly rode over and saluted the Yelv Stone.
Yelu Dashi also returned the salute to the two of them and asked: "Wuyan Tongjun, He Tongjun, where do you come from?"
However, I saw that the general whom Yelu Dashi called the Wuyan Commander was dignified and dignified, with white face, red lips, yellow beard and green eyes. But at this time, his face was depressed, and he only reported to Yelu Dashi in a hurry: "Feng Die assassinated the barbarians.
Following Jin Jun's decree, the last general led his troops to Tanzhou and other military prefectures to inspect the troops and horses, and prepared to send troops to Liaodong to support His Highness the King of Wei. He was about to return to the Privy Council of Jin Mansion to report. I don't dare to stay for a long time because of the order.
Dashi Shali Haihan!”
After saying this, Wuyan commanded the army and led a few horses behind him to go straight to Xijin Mansion. Behind him, Wuyan Yanshou, who had had a relationship with Xiaotang and had frequent contacts with Yelu Dashi, also had a gloomy look on his face. He hurriedly approached Yelu Dashi apologized and followed his father on horseback.
When Yelu Dashi saw this, he sighed deeply and said to himself: This Wu Yanguang is proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts and is familiar with military books. He is brave enough that no one can match him, and he also has many good soldiers and generals under his command. But because he is under our rule in Daliao, He was born as a mature woman, but now he is a born girl in the white mountains and black waters of Liaodong. Many tribes have rebelled, which has caused him to be jealous and suppressed by his colleagues in the court... But although he has a strong temperament, he still has sex with me. ?There were many capable ministers and generals in the Liao Dynasty who were not of the Khitan ethnic group. Even if Xiao Tang was not reused in the Song court, and I, Yelu Dashi, are not short-sighted and narrow-minded, how could I do it just because of you? The father and son were born straight to mature women, so they harbored contempt and hatred?
However, it was completely opposite to the reaction of Wu Yanguang and his followers. When another member of the army was introduced by Yelu Dashi and met Xiao Tang, he immediately beamed with joy and said, "You are Xiao Renxia? I am He Chongbao, the deputy commander of the Orudo Army. How pitiful God is, you didn’t teach me that the benefactor of the He family was later killed in Liaodong!"
