In mid-November, the Funiu Mountains were covered with heavy snow, turning the world into a vast white world. It had been more than a month since Lin Jue and others returned to the mountains. Since the departure of Xijin Mansion, Lin Jue had not stayed in the Liao Kingdom.
.The soldiers and horses were reduced to pieces and returned to Funiu Mountain.
But in just over a month, all kinds of news from outside the mountain came one after another. In just over a month, the world outside the mountain had been turned upside down.
First, the news that the Liao army's 500,000-strong army was defeated in the attack on Liaoyang made Lin Jue feel incredible. When he first learned that the Liao army was attacking Liaoyang, Lin Jue thought that Wanyan Aguda should only provide symbolic resistance and would never fight head-on with the Liao people.
.Because fighting head-on is not a good choice in terms of military strength or strategy. Lin Jue privately thought about changing his position. He believed that if he was Wanyan Aguda, he should preserve his strength and retreat in mobile warfare.
Wait for an opportunity to annihilate the Liao army. In that case, although Liaoyang Mansion is lost, the strength of the Jurchens will not be weakened.
However, Lin Jue underestimated the ferocity of Wanyan Aguda. This man actually placed his bet on the battle of Liaoyang Mansion and met the opponent's fierce attack, leading to a head-to-head battle. Lin Jue took it for granted that Wanyan Aguda was
His move was unwise, but the final result was that Wanyan Agu won the big bet, which made people speechless. However, even if Wanyan Agu won the big bet, Lin Jue still insisted on his own ideas.
Because Wanyan Agu's victory was actually very accidental. If Yelv Zongyuan hadn't been hit by that arrow, Liaoyang Mansion would have been conquered, and most of the Jurchens' 200,000-strong army would have been killed or injured.
The final result will be to be beaten back to the original shape and hide in the mountains and forests to become a savage.
Lin Jue was quite emotional about the outcome of the war. This is probably the best explanation for the so-called "man's plan and God's success". If God doesn't let you win, you will never win. It seems a bit counterintuitive to think so, but Ming Ming
There seems to be a destiny in the dark. Yelv Zongyuan's fate is probably because he has run out of energy. This guy actually ran to the battlefield to watch the battle, and was actually shot in the body by Wanyan Aguda using a wooden stick as a crossbow. That night he died
He died in the military camp. It was really undeserved that such an arrogant figure should have made such a low-level mistake. And his death not only led to the failure of the Liao army, but also led to the internal division of the Liao state over the seizure of the throne.
The second son of Yelu Zongyuan went on a killing spree with the support of several tribal chiefs of the Liao Kingdom. It is said that he even killed the famous Prime Minister Han Yanshou and the eldest prince Yelu Cai, which also led to a great split within the Liao Kingdom. Such a result Lin
I felt like I couldn't laugh or cry after knowing this. If people really share the same heart and mind, the world is as black as crows. In the face of power, Yelvchun of Liao made a choice similar to that of Prince Guo Xu of Zhou Dynasty. In the face of supreme power and respect,
In front of Rong, he can give up anything and do anything. This actually does not surprise Lin Jue.
According to reports, Han Yanshou’s nephew Han Zhang was present at the ceremony that night.
Although he was defeated in the battle, he merged with Han Desui, who had been defeated from Xijin Mansion, in Dading Mansion. They elected Yelu Pingshan, the son of the eldest prince Yelvcai, to ascend the throne as emperor in Dading Mansion, which was announced to the world.
Yelv Chun committed the evil act of killing his brother and his father. But Yelv Chun did not dare to attack Dading Mansion. After they transferred from Liaodong to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, they immediately announced their accession to the throne and announced another so-called truth. Yelv Chun's Zhao
According to the report, Yelu Zongyuan woke up from a coma that night after being injured and left an imperial edict for Yelu Chun to succeed to the throne. Prime Minister Han Yanshou and the eldest prince Yelu Cai colluded in confusion, intending to tamper with the edict and let Yelu Cai succeed to the throne. They had no choice but to do so.
Next, Yelv Chun eliminated the traitors with the support of tribal soldiers and horses. During the fierce battle, the eldest prince and Han Yanshou knew they were defeated and committed suicide in fear of crime. The traitor Han Zhang broke out of the encirclement.
No matter who of them tells the truth, one fact cannot be changed, that is, the powerful Liao Kingdom has fallen apart. The split caused by the two Liao courts, even without the intervention of external forces, their internal strife will cause the Liao Kingdom to fall apart.
Not to mention, the Jurchens who had won the battle in Liaoyang Mansion were still there, and they were still watching eagerly and preparing to take action. The Liao Kingdom might not be able to hold on for long.
These things were not what surprised and shocked Lin Jue the most. What really shocked and made Lin Jue laugh and cry and had to know what to say was the attitude of the Great Zhou Dynasty on this matter.
This was originally the best opportunity for the Zhou Dynasty to abolish the unequal and humiliating peace treaty and treat the Liao people without pretense, but the final result made people laugh and cry. The death of Han Gang was something Lin Jue had expected a long time ago. When he learned that Han Gang
After the news of his death by suicide, Lin Jue felt sorry but did not have any accidents. Lin Jue just felt bad for Han Gang. But after Han Gang's death, news of the internal strife in Liao came. Originally, the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to take advantage of Han Gang.
The thought of going to Yelu Zongyuan to ask for an explanation made me feel a little overwhelmed. Yelu Zongyuan actually died during the attack on Liaoyang, and the Liao Kingdom was split into two dynasties. So to which dynasty was Han Gang's head sent to?
This is a big problem.
After some weighing, Han Gang's head was sent to Dading Mansion and delivered to the hands of Han Desui. Perhaps the Zhou Dynasty court thought that Han Desui lost the Xijin Mansion and was even more dissatisfied. Therefore, Han Gang's head was sent to Han Desui.
They gave it to him to appease his anger. Han Gang's death was worthless. In fact, both Liao courts were worried that Zhou would fall out with them, and they were both afraid of a situation where there would be a wolf in front and a tiger in the back.
But Dazhou's performance made a big stone fall from their hearts.
Not only did the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty not show any intention to tear up the peace agreement and take advantage of the fire, but it always abided by the previous peace agreement and provided materials and food to the Great Zhou Dynasty to offset the compensation. The clever imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty came up with a way to avoid offending the two sides.
The compensation materials and food were divided into two parts, one was sent to Linhuang Mansion and the other was sent to Dading Mansion. It was impartial and fair. In this case, the two Liao emperors would probably have no objections.
I learned that the Zhou Dynasty made
After the news of such behavior came out, Lin Jue was not only dumbfounded, but also felt an indescribable disgust in his heart. The current Zhou Dynasty court was like a mangy dog with its backbone broken, and it had reached the point of being shameless and courageous for the sake of peace.
It is simply unbearable that such a great Zhou Dynasty should not collapse.
The issue of the ownership of Xijin Prefecture is also a difficult problem. The Zhou court also showed a very "smart" side in this matter. They directly withdrew the soldiers and horses of Xijin Prefecture and Zhuozhou, leaving Xijin Prefecture and Zhuozhou as their own.
They left two ownerless cities. They neither informed Yelv Chun's court nor Han Desui and others, because notifying either party seemed to offend the other party. So, they withdrew their troops quietly. In the Liao people
Before there was any request to take back the Xijin Mansion, the Great Zhou Dynasty voluntarily gave up the city that all the Great Zhou emperors had dreamed of opening the southern gate of the Liao Kingdom, and completely shrank back into the border town. That meant that the Great Zhou Dynasty
Zhou completely gave up the opportunity to take advantage of the disintegration of the Liao Kingdom and destroy the Liao Kingdom.
Three days after the troops of the Zhou Dynasty left Xijin Prefecture, Han Desui took the lead in occupying Xijin Prefecture and Zhuozhou. From this moment on, the Liao Dynasty formed a confrontation between the north and the south. From west to east, Han Desui and Han Zhang assisted the Yeluping Mountains.
The imperial court occupied Xijing, Datong, Nanjing, and Dading in central Beijing. Yelvchun in the north occupied Linhuang Mansion and a large area of Shangjing Road. In terms of balance of power, the southern imperial court seemed to have some advantages, because they occupied three areas in the south.
The land of Jing is a rich and fertile land with a dense population. Although Yelvchun's territory is large, it is mostly located in the desert and Gobi with bitter cold.
However, with the coming of the winter blizzard, the entire Liao Kingdom entered a period of severe cold. Whether it was between the two courts of the Liao Kingdom, or between the Jurchens and the Liao Kingdom, they all fell into a period of dormancy. No fighting was allowed during this season.
. However, each side is gearing up and accumulating strength. It is conceivable that when spring comes next year, the flames of war will ignite.
For Lin Jue, the situation outside the mountain had collapsed, and all he had to do was to expand his army and train with all his strength. Lin Jue had a premonition that chaos was about to happen, and it was only a matter of time before Luoyan's army came out of the mountain.
During this period of time, a large number of soldiers and horses from the former Zhou Dynasty who followed Han Gang's wishes and fled from Xijin Mansion have arrived one after another. More than 8,000 people have arrived one after another. Lin Jue naturally
It was a warm reception that allowed Ma Qingshan to organize them into the army. Maybe not all of Han Gang's more than 20,000 troops would come to Funiu Mountain to join him, but even if only half of them could come, it would still be a huge sign of strength for Lin Jue.
Enhance.
Their arrival actually conveyed Han Gang's last regret before his death. He actually regretted not listening to himself and still harboring illusions about the court. In the end, he let these people come to him, which actually expressed his attitude.
Before committing suicide, Han Gang finally realized that the Zhou court was no longer worthy of his loyalty.
