The Battle of Niuwangling ended with a complete victory for the alliance of tribal soldiers and Jurchens, which also heralded the end of the split between the north and the south of the Liao Kingdom that lasted for less than half a year. Of course, the Liao Kingdom will never be able to return to the
The former powerful and unified Liao Kingdom, because the Jurchens will seize most of the land in the east, the Jurchens have risen, and this is an unstoppable trend.
After the war ended, Wanyan Agu ordered Hulu and other generals to lead the army and a large number of prisoners and supplies southward. The Dading Mansion in Zhongjing was easily accessible, and Wanyan Agu did not even need to attack it in person. He could only leave it to his subordinates.
Wanyan Aguda only led five thousand elite cavalry to follow the tribal chiefs to Linhuang Mansion. There, he wanted to get an agreement signed by Yelv Chun himself.
It’s not that Wanyan Agu didn’t want to annihilate all the tribe’s soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, now was actually an excellent opportunity to eliminate all the forces capable of resisting in Daliao. But Wanyan Agu didn’t do this. This was certainly not because of his
Merciful, but because Wanyan Aguda had other plans. His eyes were no longer just on the barren land in the north. He had already developed a strong interest in the rich and prosperous land in the south. He wanted to conquer it and become
The owner of that land. That is actually the center of the world. Only by occupying that rich land can one truly make achievements and unify the world. In view of this, he does not want to focus on matters within the Liao Kingdom.
In fact, judging from the current situation, wiping out the tribal soldiers and horses and completely occupying the land of the Liao Kingdom is not a challenge at all. All it takes is time. Even if the tribal soldiers and horses are wiped out and all the five capitals are occupied, it will still take a long time.
It would take a long time for the entire Liao Kingdom to surrender to itself. Because the Liao Kingdom had a vast territory and numerous tribes, it would take a long time to truly stabilize its rule. This was exactly what Wanyan Agu did not want to see.
Time is actually the biggest enemy.
Wanyan Agu knew very well that the Great Zhou Dynasty in the south was now a crumbling palace with a gorgeous appearance. As long as he had enough troops, he could destroy it with overwhelming force. And if he spent the next few years
If we were to conquer the hearts of the Liao Kingdom and pacify the laughing tribes and resistance forces in the Liao Kingdom, it would undoubtedly give the Great Zhou an excellent respite. And the Great Zhou in the south had countless capable people with lofty ideals and powerful wisdom.
and means. Who knows what the result will be if you give them a few years to breathe. It may become worse, or it may become indestructible.
This was not only realized from his sister Wanyan Mingyue's daily conversations with him, but also his personal experience with Wanyan Aguda. For example, after Lin Jue escaped from his control, he recalled his words and deeds more than once.
, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this person is very clever. I was determined to keep him by my side at the beginning, with the idea of killing him if he was not used for me. But somehow, I let him escape from under my nose.
He let the people around him go, leaving him alone in the end, and used his sister, his only weakness, to defeat him, and finally ran away. Every time he thought about what happened, Wanyan Agu felt that his IQ was
I was insulted. Now the girl is pregnant, and she is actually carrying this guy's child. It can be said that she lost money and ran away. From this incident, we can know how scheming and planning the people of Dazhou are.
There must be no shortage of this type of people in the Zhou court, and we must not let these people save the great Zhou Dynasty. We must take advantage of their weakness to destroy them, and we must not give them a chance to breathe and turn over. Otherwise, the opportunity will be missed.
.
Therefore, the affairs of the Liao Kingdom can be put aside for the time being. This allows Yelvchun and the tribal chiefs to work for themselves with peace of mind. Let them take care of the Liao Kingdom for themselves first, and the tribes and officials of the Liao Kingdom will not resist them. I
All you need to do is get funding for soldiers, horses, and supplies from them, and make the entire Liao a depot of food, grass, troops, and supplies for you to lead your army south. This is the wisest choice. After you take over the south, you can deal with the affairs of the Liao Kingdom.
It is not difficult. By then, I will be sitting on the land of Zhou and Liao for tens of thousands of miles from south to north, and become the master of hundreds of millions of people. That will be the most glorious moment in my life. It is enough.
It is comparable to the achievements of the so-called Emperors of Qin and Han Dynasty who are famous in history.
In Linhuang Mansion, in the Imperial City Hall, a grand celebration banquet was going on.
Steaming beef and mutton were placed on the table, and the dishes were full of delicious wine. The dancers displayed their graceful figures and danced in the hall to the music of silk and bamboo, attracting the eyes of the tribal generals to their breasts, buttocks and thighs.
Brother Mengsa and other chiefs took turns toasting to Wanyan Aguda, saying flattering words. Although they did not want to do this, they understood that at this moment, they must not offend Wanyan Aguda. Although Wanyan Aguda
Aguda was obviously suspected of being late on purpose during the Battle of Niuwangling, so that the tribal soldiers and horses suffered losses in the battle with the Southern Army. However, after the war, the tribal chiefs did not mention a word about the completion of the battle.
They were extremely dissatisfied with Yan Agu's extremely selfish behavior of taking all the prisoners and food and supplies as his own, but they could only pretend to be generous and did not raise any objections. Because they knew very well that now
Who is in charge of the situation? Wanyan Aguda could have wiped them out easily. It was a blessing that he did not do so. You must not offend him at this time.
"Brother Wanyan, come on, come on, I'll toast you with another drink. Come on!" Brother Meng Sa raised his wine bowl again. This was the third time he toasted to Wanyan Agu.
Wanyan Aguda drank more than ten bowls of wine in a row
, with a purple color on his face. He had always welcomed everyone who came before, but at this moment he did not pick up the wine bowl. Instead, he frowned and glanced at the empty seats on the north side with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Please stop drinking this wine. Why hasn't your emperor come yet? I still have a lot of things to do. My army is heading south to attack Dading Mansion. I need to quickly sign the agreement you promised me with your emperor.
Agreement. After the agreement is signed, I will go south to fight. I don’t have time to waste here. Chiefs, you must also lead your army to go south to take Xijing Mansion and Xijing Datong. If you don’t take it, I will take it.
When we get down, don't say that I took your things away. Because that is the passage to the south, and the south must be completely recovered before I can proceed to the next step. I did not come to the Huang Mansion to drink, eat, and watch singing and dancing." Wanyan
Aguda said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, what Chief Wanyan said is correct. We have sent people to invite the emperor, and he should be here soon. Please wait a moment." Brother Meng Sa said with an apologetic smile.
"Hmph. I think this is intentional neglect. At any rate, I helped you defeat Han Desui, Han Zhang and the others. Otherwise, Linhuang Mansion would have changed hands today. Would Yelvchun have a good life? I haven't seen him since entering Linhuang Mansion.
, and now he is even more unwilling to come out. Isn’t this a neglect? Could it be that the agreement between us is going to be voided? Chiefs, if you want to go back on your word, just say it. I, Wanyan Agu, don’t ask anyone else to give me a good time.
Just talk." Wanyan Aguda sneered.
"No, no, no, Chief Wanyan, please don't think so. I will personally go and invite the emperor. Please be patient." Brother Mengsa explained with a smile, and after saying that, he stood up and threw the bald bones at Huluba.
After taking a quick look, he quickly left the palace.
Hu Luba and Tu Gu hurriedly left the table and followed them. When they walked outside the palace, Brother Meng Sa frowned and said, "What's going on? What is the emperor going to do? Why don't you come out to see people?"
Hu Luba whispered: "I must have some knots in my heart. After all, Wanyan Aguda is..."
"If you have a piece of shit, give him the face to pay it back. He doesn't even think about what he is. If it weren't for his identity, who would be willing to take advantage of him? He really thinks of himself as the emperor. Damn it, I'll go
Get him." Bald Bone cursed.
Brother Mengsa frowned and said: "Don't be like this, please know some etiquette? Otherwise, how will you convince the public in the future? Even if we don't take him seriously, we can't show it. Let's go and persuade him."
Several people walked to the back hall, passed a row of greenery, and soon arrived at the emperor's bedroom. After entering the bedroom, they went straight to Yelv Chun's residence in the back hall. At the door of the Spring Pavilion, they heard loud crying and chaos inside.
The sound of things being smashed and thrown.
Two chamberlains stood at the door and bowed tremblingly. Seeing several chiefs arriving, they were busy bowing and saluting.
"What's going on?" Brother Mengsa asked.
"The emperor was smashing things inside, and he was crying and yelling. We didn't dare to dissuade him, and he was smashed out as soon as we entered. An inkstone was smashed into Wang Yang'er's chest, which turned it blue." The chamberlain hurriedly replied.
Brother Meng Sa's face was ashen, he raised his hand to lift the curtain and went in, followed by Tu Gu Sa and Hu Lu Ba. As soon as the three of them entered the house, they heard someone in the house shouting: "Get out." Immediately after, there were shouts and shouts in front of them.
Things are flying.
Meng Sa ducked his head, but the bald bone behind him was hit. It turned out to be a book. The corner of the book was hard. Although it would not hurt, the hit on the forehead was still very painful.
Bald Bone rubbed his forehead and shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you so crazy?"
Yelucai, who was holding another book and was about to smash it, was stunned. Then he realized that it was not the servants but three chiefs who came in. He didn't dare to smash the book in his hand, but suddenly he put his hands on his face and burst into tears.
Brother Meng Sa and the other two approached with frowns and looked around. The room was in a mess. Tables and chairs were overturned, vases were broken, books on the bookshelf were torn all over the floor, and inkstones, brushes, and teacups were scattered on the floor. It must be Yelv Chun's masterpiece.
"What's going on, Your Majesty? Why don't you go out to attend the banquet and celebrate the victory, and hide in this room, crying, and smashing things?" Meng Sago looked at Yelv Chun and said in a deep voice.
Yelv Chun removed his palm, his face full of tears, and said loudly: "Celebrating? Celebrating for what? Celebrating the merits of my traitorous minister of Liao Dynasty? Who killed my father? Wasn't it Wanyan Aguda, the traitor? Me
Do you want to celebrate his victory? What kind of agreement should we sign with him to provide him with food, supplies, soldiers and horses, and help him fight the Great Zhou Dynasty? What do you think? Have you considered my feelings? I won’t go, I am determined
If you don’t go, he and I are inseparable, so don’t even think about me going to see him..."
Brother Mengsa looked cold and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't act out of emotion. We know who Wanyan Aguda is, but now we can't offend him. The Emperor hates this person, but he can only bury his hatred in his heart.
We must cooperate with him. If the emperor refuses to cooperate, it will harm Daliao. The agreement is beneficial to both parties. His appetite is in the south, so we will send this plague god away. It is just to give him some material and manpower support.
Forget it, he will return Dading and Liaoyang to us in the future. The emperor should take a longer view..."
Yelv Chun gritted his teeth and said: "You also believe his lies? Is he willing to return Liaoyang and Dading to us? How is that possible? You don't even think about who he is. He will spit out what he eats? He is a greedy person. Bad wolf."
Brother Meng Sa said coldly: "Of course we know what kind of person he is, but now this is the only way to prevent him from being a threat to us. The emperor doesn't want him to lead the Jurchen troops to capture Linhuang Mansion. By then, , where is the emperor going?”
Yelvchun shouted: "
Linhuang Mansion doesn't matter, we still have a large territory in the northwest, as well as your tribal territory, what are you afraid of him? It's so easy for him to seize the country of Liao Dynasty? How can he convince the people with his Jurchen? I'm afraid it's just a dream. You guys If he is really our loyal minister of the Liao Dynasty, we should kill him immediately. Didn't his army not come? This is a good opportunity to get rid of him, why don't you do it?"
Tu Gusha shouted coldly: "What did you say? You mean we are no longer loyal ministers? If not for us, who are you? Yelu Chun, please understand, we are supporting you, you are the emperor. No To us, you are just a lost dog."
Yelvchun opened his mouth in shock and looked at Tu Gusha. They finally said this sentence. This layer of window paper was finally pierced. Finally, there was no need to cover up the fact that he was a puppet, and he no longer had to deceive himself by saying, He is still the emperor of Daliao.
Brother Meng Sa glared at Tu Gu Sa and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive Chief Tu Gu Sa, he is a rough man. But you must go to see Wanyan Aguda and sign an agreement. Not only for you, Also for Daliao. Don't you know that as long as you are alive, you will have a chance to make a comeback. What's the use of killing Wanyan Agu? His soldiers and horses will immediately go north to wipe out us. You will have nowhere to hide. In the northwest? There are other places there. What? What else is there besides the Gobi desert and high mountain snowfields? If the northwest is really a place where we can live, why do we need to support you as emperor? There, you can only live, like an animal. How can you live such a life? It won’t take more than a day. Believe me, if you listen to our arrangements, you will still be the emperor. If you don’t understand this truth, we... don’t mind changing to another emperor."
Yelv Chun sat down on the ground, speechless. The three men beside him, Meng Sage, Bald Bones and Sahuluba, looked at him and sneered, like three cunning wild wolves.
"Come here, wait for the emperor to change his clothes, and go to the main hall for the banquet!" Brother Mengsa ordered in a deep voice, and then walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
…
On April 22nd, 70,000 Jurchen troops arrived at the gates of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing. There was chaos in Dading Mansion, which was defended by less than 30,000 people. Yelu Pingshan was only a fourteen-year-old boy, but at this moment he showed that After hearing the news of the death of Han Desui and Han Zhang who assisted him, and when all the ministers proposed to open the city gate and surrender, Yelu Pingshan chose to fight to the death.
He personally mobilized the people in the city and recruited 20,000 young men to participate in the defense of the city. He executed all the officials who whispered in his ears asking him to surrender, so that these surrender remarks were completely extinct. When faced with the surrender letter sent by the other party, He cut off the ear of the Jurchen messenger and put it back, asking him to tell the Jurchen that he would never surrender to the Liao rebels.
After three days of siege, the Jurchens finally decided to attack the city. This was also the first time that the Jurchens formally attacked a strong city. The Jurchens' siege techniques were still unfamiliar, and the opponent's determination to defend the city was very strong, so they actually attacked the city one after another. Couldn't get it for three days.
Wanyan Agu shouted to stop the siege. He knew that a hard attack could be defeated, but it would result in huge losses. The soldiers and horses in his hands were precious, and he could not waste the precious soldiers and horses wantonly. He took
Following the advice of his counselors, he adopted the strategy of besieging the city without attacking and attacking the reinforcements. He sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to siege the city but not attack. At the same time, he ambushed 10,000 soldiers and horses who came to rescue from Xijin Mansion. After that, the 20,000 soldiers and horses were killed.
The cavalry spent more than ten days sweeping through the capitals of the southeastern states of Zhongkyo Road and occupied all the cities on Zhongkyo Road.
At the same time, Meng Sage and others led their tribe troops to go south and captured Xijin Prefecture on April 9th. On April 15th, Xijing Datong garrison led his army to surrender. At this point, Dading Prefecture completely became a small boat in the ocean.
.There are no more reinforcements.
Wanyan Aguda was not in a hurry at all. While his troops besieged the city, he reorganized his troops and recruited all the more than 60,000 captured Liao prisoners into the army to expand his troops. At the same time, he actively prepared combat supplies.
After a month of siege, even though Yelu Pingshan was very determined, the food in Dading Mansion was exhausted and he was at the end of his rope. Yelu Pingshan even killed his own BMW to feed everyone's hunger to show his determination, but this could not save the situation at all.
.The Jurchens timely spread rumors that they would massacre the city if they did not surrender. Under such circumstances, the hearts of the people in the city were floating and were on the verge of collapse.
People thought that the emperor had done what he should do, and his insistence on defending the city was very brave. But he could not let hundreds of thousands of people in the city be massacred because of his persistence. He should think about surrendering
It's a selfish act to let everyone die because of his own selfish ambitions.
Yelu Pingshan also knew that the situation was over, and he did not want to harm the people in the city. He knew that in a few days, the city would be completely out of food, and he was afraid that if the Jurchens did not attack, the city would be in chaos. So he made a surprising decision.
On the night of May 28th, Yelu Pingshan led 2,500 cavalry loyal to him out of the west gate and attacked the Jurchen camp. They rushed and killed thousands of Jurchens. But the result can be imagined.
No one of these two thousand and five hundred people was spared, and they all died in the battle. Yelu Pingshan's body was hit by more than ten arrows. He stood upright with a scimitar and stared to death. Even Wanyan Aguda picked up his fingers after seeing his body.
Admire. The behavior of a fourteen-year-old boy is more admirable than many generals and high-ranking officials of the Liao Kingdom, and even more so than his fathers and ancestors. Perhaps given him time and space, he will be an immortal emperor in the future. It is a pity that he will not be born.
hour.
Yelu Pingshan may be the most admirable emperor of the Liao Kingdom in these decades, but he is also the last one.
