In 1090 AD, the Bactrian Empire was assimilated for 28 years; This is destined to be an extraordinary year, in which several major events occurred in the Great Xia Empire, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, which directly affected the ancient history of China; At the same time, the whole of Western Europa was not stable, and the imperial power and the clergy were caught in a fierce battle.
In the Liao Palace, the capital of the Liao Kingdom.
Yelu Hongji was lying on his dragon couch and kept coughing, Yelu Yanxi was waiting carefully, the imperial doctor had given the final diagnosis, Yelu Hongji had not lived long, looking back on Yelu Hongji's life was a complete failure, when he first took over, Liao was still a big country dominating northern China, but now it has become a small country cowering north of Yanshan, and it is still surrounded by the Great Xia Empire, and most of its territory has been annexed by the Great Xia Empire.
"Xi'er, don't be busy, sit down and talk to Grandpa Huang."
Yelu Hongji said with great difficulty.
"Yes, grandson commands" "Xi'er, what is the situation outside now, is the court still stable?"
"Grandpa Huang, don't think about it so much, the outside is relatively stable, and the entire Daliao is still the same as before."
"You still refuse to tell the truth to the imperial grandfather, cough, cough, cough, you honestly tell the imperial grandfather, is it Yeluhe and Yeluxin pinched again."
In the first two years, Yelu Renxian and Yelu Yixin had passed away one after another, and the forces left by the two were basically inherited by Yelu He and Yelu Xin, but Yelu Hongji did not let go of this golden opportunity and recaptured a large number of troops from the hands of the two, which are currently handed over to the commander of Yelu Yanxi.
"Grandpa Huang can rest assured, the child has transferred Zhao Ge back to Beijing to lead the troops to suppress it, and Zhao Ge can't make trouble in the capital."
"That's good, that's good, although Zhao Ge is a Han, he is still loyal to my Daliao royal family."
Yelu Hongji said to Yelu Yanxi; "Grandpa Huang is incompetent, he can't say that the Great Liao Empire is all called to your hands, you have to remember that in the future, you must use Zhao Ge and Xiao Yuanshan well, they can help you protect the rivers and mountains of Great Liao; After you ascended the throne, you must continue to implement the strategy of southward expansion, and maintain friendly relations with the Great Xia Empire, now that the Great Xia Empire is in full swing, my Liao State is not its opponent at all, if you want to survive in this troubled era, you can only rely on the Xia Kingdom."
"Grandson understood" "Perhaps this is the sorrow of a small country," said Yeluhongji with a sigh; "Now that the Xia Emperor divides the princes, this is the appearance of the chaotic country, Xi'er must learn to endure, endure until there is civil strife in the Xia country, and then take back the territory lost by my Great Liao, be ashamed of my Great Liao, and be ashamed of my Yelu Clan" Finally, Yelu Hongji said heartbreakingly.
"Grandson, remember, Grandpa Huang, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and you will get better soon."
Yelu Yanxi cried and said.
In fact, Yelu Yanxi did not tell the truth to Yelu Hongji, although Yelu Yanxi had transferred Zhao Ge to lead the army back to Beijing, but it was far from quenching the thirst, and now the army of Yelu Xin and Yelu He has arrived in Dading Mansion from the east and west, both of them want to settle in Dading Mansion and control the court of Liao, and both of them have an ambition in their hearts.
After leaving Yelu Hongji's dormitory, Yelu Yanxi asked the little eunuch beside him, "Does General Zhao Ge have any news?"
"Your Highness, General Zhao has arrived in Tanzhou, and he will arrive at Dading Mansion tomorrow."
"Okay, is there any movement between Jeluhe and Jelushin outside the city?"
"The two armies are still stationed outside the city, and there are some small clashes from time to time."
Yanshan camp, Li Qing has been here for several days, there is still no news coming from the territory of Liao, Li Qing is already a little unable to sit still, after all, Li Qing secretly left Xijin Mansion, if this matter is known by Li Liangzuo, it will be a big deal, after all, the longer Li Qing leaves, the greater the possibility of being discovered.
"Report, report, report to the prince, Dading Mansion is urgent."
After Li Qing was in a hurry, he immediately took a look at it and said: "Now that the Dading Mansion of the Liao State has been messed up, Yeluhe and Yeluxin each led their soldiers and horses to approach the Dading Mansion, and Zhao Ge also led the army back to Tanzhou, and now the Dading Mansion is a three-party competition, and the troops on the territory of the Liao State south of Yanshan have been empty. ” "Wang Ye Liao has gathered most of its troops near Dading Mansion, which is very unfavorable to our plan, our army has limited strength, and once it falls into a long-term melee, I am afraid that we will not be able to achieve the results we want."
Yan Shu said to Li Qing.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged all this."
Li Qing said with a strange smile; "Now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, tell the brothers to have a good rest these days, the situation of the Liao Emperor has not been very good recently."
"Yes, the Admiral understands."
Late the next night, Li Qing had fallen asleep, Yan Shu hurriedly came to Li Qing's bed, Li Qingsong slept very lightly and woke up when he heard footsteps, Li Qing sat on the bed and asked Yan Shu: "What's the matter, it's the middle of the night." ” "Lord Wang, the spies have come to report that Emperor Liao has died."
Yan Shu said to Li Qing.
Li Qing immediately became energetic, and immediately ordered: "Pass on the king's military order, beat the drum and gather the troops." ” The war drums of "knock, knock, knock" resounded in the valley of the night, the sleeping soldiers immediately put on their armor and took their weapons to the school field to assemble, and the cavalry hurriedly ran to the stable to ride their war horses and then rushed to the school field, Li Qing, who was wearing armor in the school field, was already waiting, at this time Li Qing's heart was full of excitement, his plan for several years was about to see the result, and this result was also very important to Li Qing.
If Li Qing's plan succeeds and the Liao State is completely touched on the map, then it is good to say, if it is not successful, then Li Qing will be miserable, and being deprived of the prince and reduced to a commoner is probably the lightest punishment, and if it is not good, I am afraid that there will be a fatality, at this time Li Qing is a crazy gambler, but now Li Qing can only go all the way to the dark, even if he wants to turn back now, he can't go back.
Li Qing stood on the colonel's platform and said impassionedly: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while; This king will take you to accomplish a great thing, the destruction of the Liao Kingdom; If you win this battle, you and this king will be famous all over the world from now on, and if you lose this battle, this king will accompany you to die on the battlefield; Brothers, our daily training is for today's day, after the victory of this battle, half of all the wealth obtained from the Liao State, this king is the master of the division to all the brothers, but if you want this king to know that someone dares to hide the spoils of war, there is no mercy. ” "Chitose Wangye, Chitose Wang" "Yan Shu obeys orders."
"The end will be."
"Order you to be the commander of the rear army, and lead 30,000 foot soldiers to support the king's army."
"The last general commands."
"The prince led 20,000 iron horsemen directly into the Dading Mansion, and the battle was settled, and the expedition was set" With Li Qing's order, the 50,000 army slowly drove out of the Yanshan camp and went north at night, especially Li Qing's cavalry troops, which were very fast and soon disappeared into the vast night.
The second is to ask for your continued support:
