Chapter five hundred and forty seventh national thief
The guards inside and outside the Yingzhou Yamen were heavily guarded and their demeanor was solemn. A group of soldiers pressed their swords on their waists and looked nervously at the soldiers standing in the hall.
The officers under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou Prefecture were refugees recruited from Liaodong. These people were massacred by the Jurchens and had no place to return. They fled to Youyan and were recruited by Yelu Chun and Yelu Dashi, known as the Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army.
The soldiers of the Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army were all in ruins now, even though their clothes and armor were in pieces, red blood was still seeping out from the large and small strips wrapped around their bodies, and every one of them had a look of grief and anger on their faces.
"Brothers are fighting bloody battles under the city. You people from Yingzhou only give food to the Khitan soldiers and the Song army. Why should we have to eat one meal a day?"
The soldiers below were at war with each other, but in the inner courtyard of the government office, the commanders of the Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army all had smiles on their faces.
Everyone chatted calmly and seemed to have no grudges at all. Yingzhou garrison general Yelu Xian smiled brightly when he faced the resentful army commander who came to raise an army to question his crimes: "You must all know how powerful the Jurchens are. These Tatars
Starting from Liaodong, you are the first batch of victims.
You all know how many people died outside Huanglong Mansion. These Tatars are cruel and cruel. Now that they have attacked Yingzhou, it is time for us people to work together and tighten our belts to resist."
Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the most powerful battalion of the resentful army, stepped forward and said: "We all know these things, but we are all guarding the enemy on the same city wall, sitting and watching Paoze beside us eat three meals a day, but we only have one meal. Who can
Can bear it.
We blame the Eighth Battalion of the Army for not being timid in fighting, and the most people dying in front are the ones in front. When things have reached this point, we don’t need more. Is it okay to have two meals a day?"
As soon as these words came out, many of the resentful generals behind him had unhappy expressions. It seemed that everyone was not unified in their thoughts.
Pharmacist Guo also saw that the Khitan people had a firm attitude today. If they insist on forcefully, I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss.
Who knew that even if it was reduced to two meals a day, Yelu Xian would still have a tough attitude. He said slowly: "This matter has always been a law. If it is changed rashly, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."
The law has always been that under Yelu Dashi, everyone had one meal a day. But since Yelu Dashi ascended the throne and received assistance from the Song Dynasty, which originally belonged to Emperor Tianzuo, there was enough food and grass to eat.
All Khitan soldiers have resumed three meals a day. You must know that at this time, people in many places are still eating two meals a day, but they are starving to death and starving to death. The Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army not only has a small share, but also has
Some stale old food.
People's hearts are not worried about few but about inequality. In this way, the people of the Eighth Battalion of the Resentful Army will find it unbearable.
Seeing that the Khitans were unable to advance, the generals of the Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army were no longer as cautious as when they first arrived, and they were all filled with anger.
For a long time, the status of this resentful army has been very low, even somewhat similar to the vassal army and servant army in the Jurchen camp.
The corruption of the Liao people's bureaucracy was rotten to the core, even worse than that of the Song Dynasty before the New Deal. Naturally, no one would think of taking care of the feelings of these homeless "resentful" troops.
Even Yelu Dashi doesn't attach much importance to this.
The generals withdrew from the inner courtyard with overwhelming hatred. All the resentful soldiers who looked at them eagerly were disappointed.
As they returned to their own camp, dissatisfaction slowly filled the military camp composed of refugees.
The seeds of hatred had been planted. Less than three days later, Yaoshi Guo's tent was violently opened.
A strong general came in with his waist pinched, furious.
"Five ministers, what's going on?"
"Lao Guo, you still don't know? That thief bastard Yelu Xian is selling military rations in the city! Isn't this the deprivation of our military rations?"
Pharmacist Guo stood up suddenly and asked: "Is it true or false?"
"This is not true. Our soldiers are so hungry that they have to pawn their armor to buy food that is ours. This is not...sigh!"
With so much money and food aid from the Song Dynasty, Yelu Dashi would definitely not make the resentful army so cold. Now it seems that it was the idea of Yelu Xian and others. This guy withheld the military food and sold it in Yingzhou City. It was simply unreasonable.
The resentment of the army should be seen by others.
Zhen Wuchen lowered his voice, stepped forward and said, "I heard that they also made secret deals with the Jurchen Tatars. Even if they break the city, we will die, and these bird people will still be happy and free."
Unexpectedly, when the country has reached this stage, there are still people who want to enrich the country, and their greed and short-sightedness are staggering. It is really the fault of the Liao Dynasty that it has fallen to this point. It is a pity that the war has been too fierce, and the number of Jurchens who have risen is too small and too small.
Too brutal.
Otherwise, with the Liao people's courage to continue seeking death, the entire northern grassland would have completely changed hands and calmed down long ago.
Pharmacist Guo drooped his eyelids and hid half of his anger: "Call Dong Xiu and others. This time, our resentful army will really complain!"
---
The emperor Yelu Dashi has not set foot in the main hall of the palace for a month, and is all in a tent in the city.
People came and went in the big tent, the curtain door was opened, and battle reports from various places were delivered to the table.
Yao Pingzhong was wearing a light armor and holding a small shovel. He was looking at a map and making a sand table. Next to him was Yelu Dashi, the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty.
These two old partners once broke into the Zhongjing Mansion together. If Yao Pingzhong hadn't returned to the Song Dynasty, they might have gained a foothold after the bloody battle between Beigui Mountain and Wanyan Loushi.
At that time, it was a different situation. Unfortunately, Yao Pingzhong withdrew his troops anyway.
Outside Yunzhou City, the war was stalemate, but Yelu Dashi regained a lot of confidence.
I learned from Yang Lin to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and it really worked. After letting the Jurchens in, the battle was ruined, but it also appeased the Song people.
The Song Dynasty provided more and more aid, which finally eliminated the doubts about the Liao-Jin Conference and peace. At this point, peace talks could not solve the problem.
The precious time gained from the previous peace talks was used by Yelv Dashi to overhaul the fortifications in Yunnei, and now it has been effective.
The Jurchens suddenly remembered the feeling they had in Youyan, unable to move even an inch!
Yao Pingzhong looked at the map and said with a smile: "Wanyan Lou's family is in Yingzhou. After fighting for so long, I don't know how much food I still have. In a few days, Mr. Zhong's army will leave Yanmen. By that time
We can launch a major counterattack throughout Yunnei!"
After being suppressed and beaten for so long, Yelu Dashi was also a little moved. A counterattack was not about annihilating many Jurchens, but about restoring morale.
But fighting in the wild with the Jurchens?
Yelu Dashi still had some hesitation in his heart. After all, the Liao people had suffered too many defeats in front of the Jurchens.
Sensing his uneasiness, Yao Pingzhong piled up a sand table and said: "We ourselves are still hesitant, but it can be seen that the Jurchens are even more unprepared. The most important thing is to keep it confidential. Wait until the day of the fight, and then notify the ministries.
, attack together.
Zongze, the general manager of the North Road, why he was able to win consecutive battles and buy us such a long time was all because of a surprise! Wanyan Aguda never imagined that the Song Army took the initiative to pursue Weizhou. Look at the Song Army.
After a hard-fought positional battle, they all concentrated their superior forces and took advantage of the light cavalry's quick movement to attack the lone Jurchen team. This led to an astonishing record of thirteen consecutive victories.
The Jurchens, who claim to have never lost a single defeat, will lose thirteen times in a row. Why should Your Majesty hesitate?"
Yelu Dashi nodded slowly, preparing to completely restore the morale of Daliao when the Song people outside Yanmen arrived!
