Chapter 996 Yelu Hongji in desperate situation
Even Wang Ning'an never expected that his baby son had such a beautiful move!
It was also a blessing that he could think of it. He used a tractor to compete with the cattle and horse, which made the barbarians shocked and collected tens of thousands of cavalry at once... Don't think there were not many people in this area. You should know that the weather was cold and the vast wilderness, except for a few barbarians, even the Khitan army could not go around at will. With them, it would be equivalent to cutting off the last hope of Yelu Hongji's escape towards Zhongjing, and completely became a turtle in the jar.
Of course, the barbarians are not real fools. Although there are many people with developed limbs and simple minds, if there were no old foxes, they would have been annexed by the Khitan long ago.
These old wise men of the tribe saw it very clearly. After the Khitan was over, the grassland empire has always been like castles on the desert. Since there was no foundation, it could be built very quickly and spectacularly, and the whole world would crawl and bow down.
But as long as it declines, almost overnight events and a decisive battle can determine the fate of a great empire. In terms of resilience, it is far less than the agricultural civilization in the Central Plains... After a crushing defeat, the Khitan will soon enter history.
It turns out that the barbarians who surrendered to the Khitan had only two choices. They either surrender to a new master, or take up a sword and fight on the battlefield. They might perish, or they might have the opportunity to replace the Khitan and re-create an empire in a few years... In short, they either rely on the strong or become a strong one themselves.
There is no third way to abandon this!
The appearance of Xiaotu, the magical tractor, is a small straw that appeared at critical moments and at critical locations... More and more barbarians surrendered to the Song Dynasty, including the aforementioned, several Khitan tribes, such as Dahe and Liuxi, were not the same as the Diela tribe where the royal family was located.
In the past, the Khitan was strong and had a lot of wealth. When all countries came to pay tribute, they could still follow their elder brother with food and drink. At this time, they all turned against each other.
Not long ago, didn’t Zhao Shu ask everyone to prepare for the youth and strong to do things for the Celestial Empire?
This time, let alone young and strong, even girls, they recommended the most beautiful prairie pearl to offer it to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
They also united and gave Zhao Shu the title of Khan of Heaven!
In addition to these, they also sent all the young and strong people from their clan to bend their bows and swords to attack the scattered skin army, presented their heads to the Song Dynasty, and prayed for forgiveness from the Supreme People's Republic of China...
The war ended for 10 days, and all changes were simply lightning.
Zhao Shu’s problem has come again. He needs to calm down and think about what to do next! This time he did not ask for a teacher, and Wang Ning'an did not give him an answer.
Because it is the fifth year of Zhiping, according to the original agreement, Wang Ning'an needs to abdicate as prime minister and truly return the emperor to power.
Although there are still so many people who do not believe it and do not want Wang Ning'an to retreat, in the first congratulatory form of the New Year, Wang Ning'an made it clear that he had an agreement with the late emperor that he must not violate the will of the late emperor... Moreover, Wang Ning'an also proposed that metabolism is a necessary choice to make the Song Dynasty safe for a long time.
If you only place your hope on one person or a few people, it will not work... The government must be continued and inherited, and the Song Dynasty must be endless and break out of the circle of governance and chaos.
Wang Ning'an has mentioned these words more than once, but this time he explained them the most clearly and clearly.
Wang Ning'an will definitely abdicate. Who should take over the new political affairs hall? What should I do if the Khitan, who was defeated just now, has such a huge land?
Things were all over the place, and it was very difficult to put it on Zhao Shu’s tender shoulders!
After several days of thinking, Zhao Shu finally came up with his idea!
The master and apprentice sat in the central army tent. A few days ago, they discussed the situation of the war and deployed the strategy of besieging Yelu Hongji. This time they sat down again to discuss the next direction!
"Disciple won't stop!"
Zhao Shu was straight to the point, "Take back Yunzhou and destroying the Khitan is only the first step. He has to continue fighting, go west, destroy Seljuk, and fight to the end of the sea! He wants to use troops to the south, and turn Tianzhu into the granary of the Song Dynasty... He still has a breath and will never stop. Even if it takes decades or hundreds of years, he will never retreat. The land shining by the sun and the moon is the territory of the Song Dynasty, and all the people of the Song Dynasty are all under the sky! Throughout the dynasties, they have increased and decreased based on the left of Qin Shihuang. The disciples must build more territory and surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties. We have this ability!"
Zhao Shu said hurriedly, looking very motivated.
Wang Ning'an smiled, "Your Majesty has such ambition, I am really pleased. I believe that Your Majesty will definitely do it!"
"No!"
Zhao Shu shook his head, "I can never do it with me alone. I don't have that ability!"
Without that ability, why are you bragging about it?
Zhao Shuhan smiled and said, "Master, you must help me, so you can't give up!"
"I will never stay in the Political Affairs Hall!" Wang Ning'an said without any doubt.
"Yes!" Zhao Shu actually agreed, "Master, I have already thought about it. You will be transferred to Pingzhang's military and national affairs, and you will also serve as the governor of Liaodong. You will be responsible for turning this land that is even more vast than the Song Dynasty into a land of Han families, and never fall into the hands of the barbarians again...Master, your disciples are very confident that Mr. Wen can still manage the Xixia well, and Master cannot disappoint his disciples!"
"etc!"
Wang Ning'an immediately said: "Your Majesty, did Wen Kuanfu give you this idea?"
Zhao Shu did not answer positively, but said seriously: "Don't use others to slander, I think it's appropriate to do this!"
The king and his minister looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't say anything. Zhao Shu tried hard to straighten his chest and hold his breath. Just when he was about to be unable to hold on, Wang Ning'an suddenly laughed.
"Your Majesty has indeed become a saint. I wish you to achieve hegemony and become the emperor of the ages!"
"One Emperor of Eternality!"
Master, disciple, king and minister, four hands are held together!
This was an extraordinary moment. Wang Ning'an has always been the one who made the last decision. This time, Zhao Shu adopted Wen Yanbo's suggestion and asked his master to govern the Liao Kingdom. He did not seek his master's opinions, but issued an order as an emperor.
Although Wang Ning'an continued to persist and Zhao Shu would admit defeat, Wang Ning'an chose to obey. If he had been a master and disciple in the past, then from then on, the king and minister would have been a master and disciple... Wang Ning'an was not disappointed, but on the contrary, he was very pleased.
It’s like a father who pulls his child up, sends him to school, and goes to society... After all, one day, the child can support himself and make decisions on his own. The power of the family will always be handed over.
Even if it came a little soon, Wang Ning'an accepted it calmly.
He once worried that he would embark on the road of a powerful minister and usurp the country of his disciples. Although Wang Ning'an was sure that he would succeed, after all, there were so many time traveling seniors, and pearls and jades were ahead!
But at this moment, Wang Ning'an could be very proud. He restrained himself and did not go on that path. He could have a clear conscience. Whether it was Uncle Zhao or Master Fan Zhongyan, there were still thousands of people who had high expectations for him, but did not disappoint these people!
...
This conversation was not long, but it directly determined the fate of the Song Dynasty. The new king and powerful ministers were resolved invisibly and worthy of celebration!
But don’t be too happy too early. There are messes inside and outside, and you are still waiting for them to clean up!
"Master, I'm going to send troops to Yunzhou immediately and capture Yelu Hongji!"
Wang Ning'an nodded, "Military and national affairs are naturally decided by Your Majesty, but I think it's better to wait a little longer."
"Wait?" Zhao Shu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you should wait... Master, you should always mention your disciples, otherwise you will make a mistake again."
Facing a seriously injured beast, if you chase it directly, you will suffer a dying blow. Wait for a while, and wait until the blood is almost gone and your energy is gone. It will be much easier to get a bargain.
A good hunter must seize the opportunity.
Yelu Hongji was even worse than the injured beast at this time.
"Your Majesty, there are less than 40,000 soldiers. In addition to the remaining troops in Yunzhou, there are only less than 70,000!" Yelu Yixin's arm was hanging, his face was mourning, as if he had eaten bitter gourd.
Lost, it was too miserable!
Hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed, and many relatives and relatives were separated from each other, and some families could not go back. The king and his ministers lost all their gambling money... "I still have a chance, and there is still..."
Yelu Hongji murmured, "Yunneizhou is still here, and the war horses are almost transported. We will leave immediately! Entering the grassland from Yunneizhou is the last road, and I will definitely succeed!"
Yelu Yixin immediately said: "Your Majesty, I agree to withdraw immediately. But what should Yelu Renxian and his 30,000 troops do?"
"This... can't take them with you!" Yelu Hongji calculated that the troops in his hands were not overwhelming, and they were all defeated generals. If he brought Yelu Renxian's 30,000 people, who would have the final say then would not be sure.
"Your Majesty, do you want to kill him?" Yelu Yixin said with a grim expression and gritted his teeth and suggested!
Yelu Hongji pondered for a moment and immediately shook his head, "No, we have to keep him guarding Yunzhou and let him fight with Wang Ning'an to death, so that we can retreat safely!"
Yelu Hongji immediately ordered his men to quietly leave the city and head northwest until he left Yunzhou 10 miles before he had sent an order to Yelu Renxian to defend Yunzhou. In order to motivate Yelu Renxian, he also gave him the title of regent!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Yelu Renxian stood at the top of the city, trembling all over, and tears rolled!
"Do you just distrust your ministers so much? For the sake of the Khitan, I am willing to die! You shouldn't humiliate me with the throne, you shouldn't!" Yelu Renxian was like a wounded beast. He tore open his clothes and exposed his bony chest, allowing the cold wind to thrill, as if only in this way could he suppress the anger in his heart!
He fell step by step, walked down from the city, and still ordered the entire army to defend the city and seal the city gate.
"Please rest assured, your majesty, this is my last bit of heart for the expiration of the Great Liao... I will not run away or surrender!"
Yelu Ren was silently waiting for the arrival of the Song army, but he never expected that Yelu Hongji, who had fled far away, did not get what he wanted. He ran for only one day and got the bad news. Ten days ago, the Song army had already taken down Yunneizhou, and millions of horses and livestock, and all the property he had to plunder fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty... After this news, Yelu Hongji bleed
