In the blink of an eye, the time came to the fifth year of assimilation, this year the Western Xia was very peaceful, but the Liao State in the north and the Great Song Dynasty in the south have undergone great changes, first of all, the Liao State in the north, the political contradictions in the Liao State are becoming more and more acute, simply put, the relationship between the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji and the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan has begun to break down.
In fact, the contradiction between Yelu Hongji and Yelu Chongyuan has existed from the beginning, this beginning can be traced back to the time when Yalu Hongji ascended the throne, and the contradiction between the two began around the original competition for the throne.
It can be said that although Yelu Chongyuan does not have the name of the emperor, he has the reality of the emperor.
According to the original trajectory of history, this coup d'état should have happened a long time ago; However, because Li Liangzuo defeated Yelu Chongyuan that year, Yelu Chongyuan's strength was greatly reduced, and Yelu Chongyuan, who was originally confident, became cautious again.
In fact, Yelu Chongyuan has not given up from the beginning, so many years have passed, Yelu Chongyuan's power has not been weakened, but is larger than before, at this time Yelu Chongyuan has completely controlled part of the Liao State's Tokyo Road, Zhongjing Road, Nanjing Road and Xijing Road, these places are the Liao State's tax land, that is, more than half of the wealth and army of the Liao State are completely in the hands of Yelu Chongyuan.
There are a total of five capitals in Liao, and Yelu Chongyuan accounts for three, and Xijing Datong under the control of Yelu Hongji was also cut off from Yelu Hongji by Yelu Chongyuan.
In the fifth year of the assimilation of Western Xia, that is, the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, the second year of the Great Liao Xianyong, on the first day of the third month of this year, Yelu Chongyuan, the uncle of the Liao Emperor, under the planning of his son Yelu Nelugu and his confidant Zheng Hui, ascended the throne and became the emperor in the Xijin Mansion of Nanjing, Liao State; At this time, it was the annual hunting season of the Liao State, and Yelu Hongji was hunting near Changchun Prefecture, and was shocked to get the news.
The first thing Yelu Chongyuan did after ascending the throne was to announce several charges of Yelu Hongji, and at the same time gather a large army to crusade against Yelu Hongji to force him to abdicate, because Yelu Chongyuan held a military talisman in his hand, most of the soldiers and horses of the Liao State were at his disposal, so in a short period of time Yelu Chongyuan gathered an army of 800,000.
On the other hand, Yelu Hongji, because this happened too quickly, Yelu Hongji did not have time to react, there were only tens of thousands of troops around him, and the strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all, so at the beginning Yelu Chongyuan was a success, Yelu Chongyuan personally led the army to the south bank of the Huang River, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion of the Liao State.
Linhuang Mansion is the first capital of Liao, that is, the old nest of Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong, the seat of the Liao Imperial Court, once Yelu Chongyuan captured Linhuang Mansion, it also marked the complete completion of Yelu Hongji, so this battle is related to the life and death of Yelu Hongji.
The happiest person in the Liao Civil War is the Western Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo, he is completely a gloating guy, after getting the news of Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion, Li Liangzuo was happy that he didn't sleep all night, and he was fortunate to have three beauties in a row, there was no way to be too excited, and he had to vent well.
In the imperial study room of the Xixia Palace, Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and the six cabinet ministers below sat in turn, at this time it has been three days since Yelu Chongyuan became the emperor, and the army led by Yelu Chongyuan has reached the south bank of the Huang River, and it is possible to cross the Huang River to attack Linhuang Mansion at any time, at the same time, Yelu Chongyuan and Xijing left behind Yelu Renxian sent envoys to Xixia respectively, and both sides hoped to get Li Liangzuo's support.
Li Liangzuo crossed Erlang's legs and asked the six people: "Let's talk about it, what do you think about this matter, and tell me your own opinions." ” Wei Ge Ning Ling stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the battle report we have now, Yelu Hongji did not react quickly, on the contrary, it was his subordinates Yelu Yixin, the king of the Northern Courtyard, and Yelu Ren who stayed in Xijing to mobilize the army first, which shows that Yelu Hongji should not be in Shangjing Linhuang Mansion." ” "Uncle Huang's analysis is good."
Li Liangzuo said with a smile; "I got the news that Yelu Hongji is hunting in Changchun Prefecture now."
Wei Ge Ning Ling said again: "That's right, according to Weichen's opinion, Yelu Hongji's early setback is inevitable, but after all, Yelu Hongji is a righteous emperor, and after a long time, he will slowly recover his disadvantages, plus he has the support of Yelu Yixin, Yelu Renxian and Xiao Yuanshan and other generals, it is a matter of time before Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion is suppressed; Therefore, Weichen thinks that it is much better for us to support Yelu Hongji, so that we can ease the relationship between us and the Liao State, after all, he has always remembered that His Majesty captured Yelu Chongyuan back then."
Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "What do you guys suggest?"
"The ministers agree with Uncle Huang's suggestion."
Everyone said in unison.
Li Liangzuo put down Erlang's leg and walked to everyone's side and said, "I said you can't change your thinking?"
"Your Majesty means to support Yelu Chongyuan," Nuo Yisheng asked Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo rolled his eyes and said: "Liao's civil war cares about our business, why do we have to support the choice between the two of them, I want to say that this is an opportunity given to us by God, we can not support either side in the Liao civil war, let them fight against each other, it is best to be able to last seven or eight years, after these seven or eight years, the young and strong of Liao will almost die; During this period, we have maintained a good relationship with both of them, when they lack horses to buy their horses, lack of weapons to sell their weapons, lack of grain to sell their food, let them fight a lose-lose battle is the most beneficial for us, it is best to fight this battle forever without stopping, so that the Liao State is completely divided; This Liao country spans the north, it is like a sharp sword on the head of my Great Xia Kingdom, I don't know when it will jump down, how will this sharp sword fall on our heads, and I know with my toes that I am afraid that it will be the disaster of my Great Xia Kingdom."
"Your Majesty is reasonable, and Weichen admires it very much."
Zhou Shengcai first patted the sycophants; "According to Your Majesty's will, the Liao Civil War is not only not a loss for us, but also a great advantage, and we can earn a lot of wealth from it."
"Then we won't be warmongers."
Zhou Wentai frowned and said.
Li Liangzuo's eyes were far-reaching, and he said with a serious face: "Warmongers are warmongers, as long as we can achieve the goal of weakening Liao, I will not hesitate to use any means." ” Hearing this, the ministers immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is Shengming, and the ministers obey Your Majesty's holy orders. ” "Get up."
Li Liangzuo sat back on the dragon chair and said to everyone with a wicked smile on his face; "We still have to discuss the specific implementation of this, and it is best that you can divide into two factions and lead the ministers in the court to divide into two groups, each with their own words."
At this time, in the hearts of everyone, Li Liangzuo is an out-and-out little devil, since the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, how can there be an emperor like him, who is full of bad water and wants to calculate others, since then the Liao State can be regarded as a big luck.
