Yang Jun stroked his beard and chuckled: "Who else could it be if it wasn't him? I am also very surprised."
While Yang Jun was talking, he approached Yelvshi and ordered in a deep voice: "Untie him, except for the things in his mouth."
The guards stepped forward and hurriedly untied Yelvshi and took out the cloth stuffed in his mouth. Yelvshi gasped for air. Although he was untied, he still couldn't stand up and his whole body was limp.
sit on the floor.
Yang Jun chuckled and said: "Yelushi, Prince Yelu? I didn't expect it was really you. Since we parted ways in the capital last year, half a year has passed and we meet again. Do you still know me?"
Yelvshi swallowed his foam and said weakly: "Why don't you know me? Privy Minister Yang is polite. Can you...can you give me some water to drink first?"
Yang Jun chuckled, waved his hand and ordered someone to bring water to Yelvshi, and sat down on the chair, looking at Yelvshi curiously.
Yelvshi drank two cups of cold water like a cow, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief. Ever since he was captured, his hands and feet have been tied, and he was even tied to a horse and ran for dozens of miles.
My whole body was about to fall apart, I was hungry and thirsty. After drinking two glasses of water, I regained some vitality.
"Prince Yelu? What's wrong with you? Can you tell me who captured you and brought you to me? Have you been in Zhuozhou City all this time? Were you there when my army attacked the city?" Yang Jun tapped his finger lightly.
He tapped the armrest of the chair and asked with a smile on his face.
Yelvshi took a breath and calmed down, and said in a cold voice: "Privy Yang, you, the great Zhou, claim to be a country of etiquette and a country in the Central Plains. Is this how you treat your brother country? I, Daliao, ask you for help. What if you
It’s okay if you don’t want to, but you pretended to agree and secretly arranged a plan to attack Daliao, adding insult to injury. Is this what the so-called Central Plains country did? Your behavior is extremely despicable and disgusting!"
"Shut up, you are risking your life. How dare you talk to our marshal like that." The guard on the side shouted harshly.
Yang Jun waved his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Let him speak. This little prince is full of anger. Let him speak freely."
Yelvshi said loudly: "Is what I said wrong? Isn't it the truth? You pretended to help us suppress the rebellion, but you gathered an army of 300,000 to attack Daliao. What does this mean? Such behavior will not make the world laugh at you?"
Yang Jun glared at him and said, "Keep talking."
Yelvshi raised his neck and said, "No, isn't this enough?"
Yang Jun stood up and walked around with his hands behind his hands. He suddenly turned around and shouted coldly: "If you don't tell me, I want to talk to you. You Liao people are worthy of talking about etiquette and trustworthiness with me, Da Zhou? You actually accuse us of being despicable? You guys
Don’t even think about the things you have done. I, the Great Zhou, have done my best to you, the Liao. During the Yanyun Alliance, I, the Great Zhou, made sacrifices for the sake of good relations between the two countries.
. I have given you enough benefits to the Liao people. Think about how much of your food, clothing, and supplies were given to you by our great Zhou. Without me, your great Zhou, you would still be wearing tattered animal skins, leafs, hair, and drinking blood. My great Zhou
The Zhou Dynasty was extremely benevolent and kind to your Liao Kingdom. However, how did you treat me, the Great Zhou Dynasty? For many years, you harassed our border towns, committed murders, and robbed the people and property of our Great Zhou Dynasty. Is this what you did?
Were you the ones who pretended to be bandits and attacked the border towns to rob property? That’s fine. I, the Zhou Dynasty, can tolerate these things for the sake of the overall situation, but you have to push your limits and don’t know what to say. Especially after your father became the lord of the Liao Kingdom.
, you actually threatened the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty to increase the annual coins, and also threatened to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty. Who are you trying to scare? What is even more shameless is that you instigated the Qingjiao to rebel, with the intention of cooperating inside and outside to seize the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty and destroy the great Zhou Dynasty.
Sheji. His ulterior motives and vicious intentions are outrageous to both humans and gods. It was you who were ungrateful and shameless, and now you are blaming us? You are an evil person who complained first. Fortunately, you still have the nerve to criticize me, Dazhou."
Yelvshi's face turned pale and he was speechless for a moment. He also knew that what Yang Jun said was true, and that Daliao did go too far in some things. But he still wanted to argue.
"I, Daliao, have made mistakes, but you can't do this. How can you add insult to injury? Is this kind of behavior honorable? We ask you for help because we care about the friendship between the two countries for generations. Didn't my father also express his wish to reconcile?
What do you mean?"
"What a joke, do you mean to make peace? That's because Yelv Zongyuan has no way out. So he came to beg us. Once you calm down, you will immediately fall out. What credibility do you Liao people have? The Yanyun Alliance is concluded
The generations of friendship between the two countries have been maintained indefinitely. But in your opinion, if you want to modify it, you will modify it, and if you want to tear it, you will tear it up. How can you have any credibility? The most ridiculous thing is that you actually came to ask us to send troops to help you. It is simply stupid.
Ridiculous. Will I, the Great Zhou, help you ungrateful wolves of Zhongshan? Of course, we have to add insult to injury. Not only do we have to add insult to injury, but we also have to seal the well so that you, the Liao Kingdom, will die in it forever and never be able to stand up again." Yang Jun scolded sternly.
, Strict words.
Yelvshi's heart was cold. In the eyes of the Liao people, including Yelvshi, the Zhou people would always swallow their anger and would never fall out. When people in the Liao kingdom talked about the Zhou people, their words were full of contempt and ridicule. In their eyes,
It seems that it was the kindness of the Liao Kingdom that allowed the Great Zhou Dynasty to survive. The Yanyun Alliance made by the late emperor of the Liao Kingdom was a mistake and was not necessary at all. But now, Yelvshi suddenly realized that the seeds of hatred had already spread among the soldiers and people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was planted in my heart that the Liao Kingdom coveted the fertile soil of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Zhou Dynasty hated the Liao Kingdom. They were not lambs to be slaughtered, but had long been prepared to destroy the Liao Kingdom. This time the timing was perfect.
However, the father foolishly went to ask for help from the other party, which exposed their own dire situation. Of course they would seize this opportunity. Not only would they attack the Liao Kingdom, but they would also completely destroy the Liao Kingdom.
"You...how can you do this? How can you not be moral?" Yelvshi murmured to himself.
Yang Jun shouted sternly: "It's superfluous to tell you all this. If you still haven't told me honestly, who captured you? Tell me quickly!"
Yelvshi looked at Yang Jun's angry face and knew that the other person was really angry, so he didn't dare to say anything more and replied honestly: "Of course he is from your Da Zhou, and he calls himself Lin Jue.
"
"What?" Yang Jun exclaimed in surprise: "He said his name is Lin Jue?"
Yelvshi smacked his lips and said, "Why did I lie to you?"
Yang Jun frowned and pondered, then suddenly sneered several times and murmured: "He's here too, he's everywhere, hehe, he really takes himself seriously."
Yelvshi said in a deep voice: "Privilege Yang, I think there may be a misunderstanding between our two countries. Now that the grievances between the two sides are not deep, it is time to put an end to the past. You, the Zhou Dynasty, and I, the Liao Dynasty, have been friends for generations and have not gone to war. Today there is a quarrel.
Such a situation is actually not good for both sides. We in Daliao have millions of soldiers. Don't think that if the Jurchens make such a fuss, you will have a chance. If we really fight to the death, it will be no good to anyone. If Privy Yang is willing to fight with us in Daliao,
After making good relations, he let me go, and I went to send a message to my father. The two sides should stop the dispute, stop fighting, and negotiate, so as to avoid two tigers fighting each other and allowing the Jurchens to take advantage of the situation."
Yelvshi's words were sincere, but they sounded extremely ridiculous at the moment. Especially after Zhuozhou was captured and three hundred thousand troops had already marched northward, such words sounded a little weak.
Sure enough, Yang Jun didn't even look at him. He waved his hand and ordered: "Take this man down and keep him under strict supervision."
The soldiers came forward and drove Yelvshi away. Yelvshi struggled and shouted: "Privy Master Yang, think twice before you act. In this fight between our two countries, you may not be able to win. In the end, both sides will suffer."
"Shut up. If you keep yelling, I'll stuff your mouth with horse dung." The guards scolded him sternly, dragging Yelvshi out of the house and taking him into custody.
In the room, Yang Jun was deep in thought. But he was not deep in thought because of Yelvshi's words, but he was thinking about Lin Jue's intention to show up, capture Yelvshi and send him there, and occupy the ferry for him.
Lin Jue's move seems to be to help himself. Why should he help himself? Logically speaking, he should hope that the Zhou soldiers and horses will be defeated, so that his Luoyan Army rebels in Funiu Mountain will have a chance. How could he
Helping yourself? Is it to please yourself? With Lin Jue's temperament, it seems impossible? If he was willing to please himself, he would have been attached to him in the court, so this is also unlikely.
Could it be said that he did this deliberately to show off his ability to himself and laugh at himself for not thinking well? This is possible. He did not order to pursue the fleeing Liao army soldiers, so the Liao prince Yelvshi and the Zhuozhou garrison both fled.
However, Lin Jue caught them and sent the prince, which seemed to tell him that he was more thoughtful than himself. He did not send anyone to occupy the ferry. Lin Jue ran to occupy it and asked for someone to take over.
This is more like mocking myself.
After thinking about it, the more Yang Jun thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Jue's thoughts were hateful and that he deliberately used this behavior to humiliate himself. Once his thoughts reached this point, he concluded that this person had bad intentions.
"Ignorant people are still showing off their skills in front of me. It's ridiculous. How could you know my plan? You have ruined my big event. This little thief is still complacent." Yang Jun gritted his teeth and murmured.
"I didn't know that Yelv Stone was staying in Zhuozhou, so I didn't chase him. Originally, our army was to attack the city and capture the territory, so we would not waste our energy chasing the deserters. You captured Yelv Stone and gave it to me because you wanted me to use Yelv Stone to claim credit.
If you make this matter public later, will it be a joke to me? Hey, you underestimate me. How can I take credit for this Yelv Stone? I want to take half of the country of Liao and thousands of soldiers and horses of Liao.
The head takes credit, not the Yelv Stone. In addition, you think you occupied the ferry. Do you know my intention of deliberately not sending troops to occupy the ferry? I wanted to see the reaction of the Liao army. The ferry is a strategic place for crossing the river, and it stands to reason that it should be occupied.
, but this is my ingenuity. The reason why I did not occupy the ferry is to see how the Liao army behaves. If the Liao people destroy the ferry, it means that the Liao army in Jinfu is afraid, and they have prepared
It was not sufficient, so they prevented my army from attacking and destroyed the ferry boats. In that case, I would speed up the attack. If they did not destroy the ferry boats and deliberately kept them for us to cross the river smoothly, it just shows that they were well prepared, Sang Qian
There must be a lot of ambushes on the north bank of the river. You fool, you ruined my big thing. Will I worry about not being able to cross the river? I have the most elite engineers in Zhou Dynasty, and it only takes half a day to build the pontoon. Do you think that with the dozens of broken boats at the ferry?
How can I carry so many equipment and vehicles across the river? It is beyond stupid."
Yang Jun was thinking fiercely and his teeth were itching with hatred.
