Liaoguo, Shangjing.
In the palace hall, the music is magnificent, the dancing posture is dancing, and the scene of the lights is bright and green, and the singing and dancing are leveling.
In the main hall, Yelu Abaoji, the khan of the Great Liao Kingdom, was drinking fine wine, enjoying the dance and music in front of the palace, his eyes narrowed slightly into a line, full of the emperor's self-satisfaction.
"Good wine, it's really still a beautiful wine from the Central Plains, it's wonderful" After drinking a glass of wine, Yelu Abaoji praised it.
The wine is the Ganjia wine of the Central Plains, it is the famous wine of the Wei State obtained by Yelu Abaoji from the smugglers who come and go between the two countries of China, Wei and Liao, and it is rumored that this wine originates from the family of the Emperor Mei Fei of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is the favorite good wine of the dignitaries of the Great Wei State.
And the dancing girl in front of her is not those rough-skinned Xianbei women, but a girl from the Han family who was captured from the Han land.
As for the golden palace where Yelu Abaoji sat on his buttocks, it was also built by him using craftsmen captured from the Han Dynasty to imitate the golden palace of Yejing of the Wei Kingdom.
Although Yelu Abaoji has not yet annexed Wei and captured the Central Plains, he has already begun to learn to be the emperor of the Han people, eating, wearing, living, traveling, singing and dancing, and gradually has the style of the emperor of the Central Plains.
And the Shangjing he just built was built with nearly 30,000 slaves captured from the Han Dynasty, and the construction began a year ago.
The capital has begun to take shape, today, it is the day of the completion of the Huangji Golden Palace, Yelu Abaoji in this newly built Golden Palace, held a grand banquet, in order to celebrate the completion of the new palace, by the way to show the prestige of his Great Liao Khan.
After three rounds of drinking, Sima Yi raised his glass and got up, arched his hand and said with a smile: "Today's completion of the Emperor's Palace, symbolizing that the Khan's destiny has been decided, and the Great Liao Kingdom has returned to the heart, which is really a great joy for my Great Liao to open the world. ” As soon as Sima Yi took the lead, the rest of Yelu Chucai, Yelu Dashi, Gao Changgong, Lu Bu, Yan Liang and other ministers of the Han Dynasty stood up to congratulate.
"I wish the Khan an early sweep away the Wei State and dominate the world."
"I wish the Khan an early sweep away the Wei State and dominate the world."
Looking at the ministers who gathered to congratulate, Yelu Abaoji became more and more proud, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, Cheng Zhong Dajiyan, I hope you will work together to assist Ben Khan and achieve great things as soon as possible." ” With a glass of wine and books, the atmosphere in the hall became more warm and cheerful.
At this time, Nayelu Chucai stood up and said: "Khan, we are here today to celebrate the completion of the Imperial Palace, although it is gratifying, but we should not take it lightly, the minister heard that the pottery thief is mobilizing grain and grass recently, gathering troops and horses, and there seems to be a sign of a big northward invasion of my Daliao, and we should prepare as soon as possible." ” As soon as these words came out, the noise in the hall immediately fell silent, and the joyful faces of the ministers were suddenly covered with a layer of worry.
"That's what I want to tell you today."
Yelu Abaoji didn't have a trace of worry, but there was a sneer on his face, "Li Yuan, the righteous brother of Ben Khan, has already reported to me that the pottery merchants have signs of invading my Da Liao, and he also proposed a preemptive strike to Ben Khan, preemptively send troops to attack Jinyang, seize and merge the state, and block the Tao Shang's army outside the Taihang Mountain, so that he has no way to invade my Da Liao." ” In the main hall, there was an immediate uproar.
Yan Liang was the first to stand up and arched his hand: "Khan, with all due respect, the king of the Southern Courtyard only has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, how can he be the opponent of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Wei State, he should stick to the Southern Courtyard, and wait for the Khan to lead my main army to the rescue, how can he take the initiative to attack the Wei State, isn't this to seek his own death?"
As soon as Yan Liang said this, the rest of the Liao ministers all seconded it, and they all felt that Li Yuan's plan was too risky.
The corners of Yelu Abaoji's mouth raised a touch of pride, raised a battle report on the case, and said loudly: "Then you are underestimating this righteous brother of Ben Khan, he has not only used this trick, but also captured Jinyang City for Ben Khan." ” In the main hall, Yan Liang and other ministers did not change their color, and they were suddenly in an uproar.
"How is it possible that even if the king of the Southern Courtyard secretly sent troops, how could it be possible to capture Jinyang so quickly, is Yanmen Pass an ornament, and Jinyang City is a state governor, and the famous Jiancheng of Wei can be captured so easily" Yan Liang shouted in surprise in front of the hall, his face full of disbelief.
The rest of the Liao ministers were all in an uproar, all of them were unbelievable, and they thought that Yelu Abaoji was teasing them.
At this time, Sima Yi's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Great Khan, I heard that the king of the Southern Courtyard has a third son, who is born brave, and his martial arts have been practiced to the realm of the peak martial saint."
"Sure enough, Zhongda is the most well-informed, haha" Yelu nodded approvingly at Sima Yi, and sighed with a smile: "To be honest, when Ben Khan's righteous brother sent a secret letter, claiming that he wanted to rely on the divine power of the three sons of the peak martial saint to preemptively attack Ben Khan and expand the territory, Ben Khan still didn't believe it, how could anyone in this world practice martial arts to the realm of the peak martial saint, and when Ben Khan received his good news, he dared to believe that there was really such a strange person in this world, and he was Ben Khan's nephew." ” Yelu Abaoji clarified the truth, and in the main hall, there was a surprise uproar again, and everyone's face was lit up with surprise, as if they couldn't believe that in their Great Liao Kingdom, there would be such a strong person as the peak martial saint.
But only Lu Bu flashed a trace of unhappiness in his sunken eyes.
"The minister really didn't expect that the king of the Southern Courtyard would raise such a great son, this is really a blessing for Your Majesty, and a blessing for my great Liao."
Yelu Chucai sighed and got up to congratulate Yelu Abaoji.
Sima Yi also smiled and said: "Now that the king of the Southern Courtyard has captured Jinyang, the Wei State will inevitably be shaken, and the pottery thief will definitely go to Bingzhou with all his army, as long as the Khan waits until the main force of the pottery thief is dragged in Jinyang and cannot be withdrawn, he can lead the main force of my Daliao, cross the Great Wall and take Yanjing directly.
Yelu Abaoji laughed and said: "Maybe, you don't have to wait for Ben Khan to send troops, Ben Khan's good nephew with peerless martial arts is already in the army, and he has taken off the head of the pottery thief for Ben Khan, haha."
The sound of smug laughter echoed in the main hall, and the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom were already immersed in excitement at this moment.
It's just that this burst of laughter was quickly interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.
A messenger hurriedly entered, bowed down in front of the hall, panted and trembled: "The last general came to report to the Khan on the order of the king of the southern courtyard, the pottery merchant raised an army of forty or fifty thousand, and the soldiers were divided into two ways to enter the state, the king of the southern courtyard fought hard, and the Pingcheng of Jinyang was lost one after another, and now it has retreated to the line of Dingxiang, and the last general of the Yu faction came to ask the khan for help, and asked the khan to send a large army to help, a few days later, the king of the southern courtyard will not be able to support it, and the entire Han counties may fall into the hands of the pottery merchants."
Click A thunderbolt from the sky instantly crashed into the main hall, shattering all the beautiful illusions of the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone, including the high-flying Yelu Abaoji, opened their mouths exaggeratedly, and they were stunned.
Dingxiang County, Tongguo City.
Li Yuan stood on the tower of the north gate, looking at the direction of the north, with a trace of uneasiness on his face, and an eager look to look at it.
Tongguo City, located in the northwest of Dingxiang County, is the confluence of the Hunhe River and the Yellow River, and its strategic location is extremely important.
Once Tongguo City is lost, the army of Wei will be driven north, and the three counties of Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Shuofang will be exposed to the hundreds of thousands of troops of Wei.
Therefore, after Li Yuan retreated to Tongwucheng, he did not dare to retreat to the west, so he could only order the remnants of the defeated army to hold on to the spot, hoping to hold until the main army of Yelu Abaoji came from the grassland.
"Although Tongguo City is strong, the four city walls add up to several miles long, and that Xiang Yu may launch a divine skill in any place to break through the city wall, even if we have Yuanba, I am afraid that we will not be able to prevent it."
Li Shimin, who was on the side, stubbornly analyzed the disadvantages of Li Yuan, even if he was ashamed, knowing that the current disadvantage situation was inseparable from his misjudgment.
Li Yuan sighed, still with a sad face, and had nothing to say.
"Shimin, it's all your fault, if you hadn't insisted on encouraging your father to attack Wei first, how would we have fallen into such an unfavorable situation."
Li Xiuning on the side complained.

Li Shimin's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he frowned and said: "Who would have thought that Xiang Yu had also cultivated to the peak martial saint, to this point, what is the point of investigating who is right and who is wrong, it is better to think about how to overcome the difficulties in front of you." ” Li Xiuning snorted coldly, turned his face away, and didn't speak.
Li Yuan took a light breath and sighed with a bitter face: "Shimin is right, we can't prevent the pottery thief from breaking through Tongguo City, staying here to defend it, it can only be more auspicious, if it really doesn't work, we can only abandon Tongguo City and retreat to Yunzhong County, even if we are condemned by Yelu Abaoji in the future, it is better than our Li family, and it is better to be wiped out here." ” Li Shimin was silent, Li Xiuning was silent, and the Li family father and son fell into a state of loss.
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly went to the city and said: "King Qiqi, there is a person outside the city who wants to see the king, claiming that he can help the king defend Tongguo City and retreat the Wei army." ”isjgy:
