…

Cai You left Bianliang City in Tokyo on May 18th and arrived in Xiongzhou on June 13th.

Cai You actually walked this thousand-mile road for twenty-five days.

Along the way, Cai You knelt down to worship in the temple and burned incense when he saw the gods. It is said that he used a whole carriage of incense.

Whether facing the Buddha or Guanyin Bodhisattva, Cai You kept incense with both hands, closed his eyes and prayed, and begged all over the sky to bless the masters of the Song Dynasty to win the victory, and to recover Yanjing in one fell swoop, allowing him to return with honor.

When he arrived at Daming Prefecture in Beijing, Cai You learned that the Song army was defeated by Baigou. He suddenly fell ill and was bedridden.

The left-behind Daming Mansion quickly found some beauties and took good care of them day and night, and Cai You gradually recovered.

When Cai You arrived at the Xuanfu Department of Xiongzhou, Zhao Ji's edict ordered the withdrawal of the troops just came.

Tong Guan planned to retreat to Hejian Mansion first and wait for the opportunity there.

Cai You really wanted to return to Daming Mansion and continue to recuperate.

People on the front line are preparing for withdrawal.

...

Yelu Chun originally wanted to call himself a vassal to the Song Dynasty, and then he borrowed troops from the Song Dynasty to resist Wanyan Aguda in the north and Cai Jian and Yelu Yanxi in the west, to serve as the Liao Dynasty and to protect the last territory of Yanjing for their Khitan tribe.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi fought without authorization to defeat the Song army, causing all Yelu Chun's plans to be lost.

Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi defeated the Song army when they should not have defeated the Song army. No, it should be said that Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi started the war with the Song army when they should not have started the war with the Song army, and also destroyed the last trace of life in Northern Liao, which made Yelu Chun lose all his thoughts and then his condition worsened.

One day, Yelu Chun, who was ill in bed, suddenly saw some black bats flying around in his bedroom, which made him feel upset.

Yelu Chun said to Xiao Puxian, who served him: "How come bats fly in during the day? Where did they fly in? Let's drive them out!"

When Xiao Puxian heard the words, he quickly asked someone to drive away the bats.

actually--

There were no bats in the hall, all of which were Yelu Chun's illusions.

Anyone can see that Yelu Chun's condition is getting worse and worse, and it may be that time is not too long.

This made Yanjing, which was already shrouded in haze, even darker.

Since that day, Yelu Chun's health has been getting worse day by day, and he has been in a trance and awake for a while.

In mid-June, Xiao Gan hurried to Yelu Chun's bedroom.

Although Yelu Chun was already dead, Xiao Gan still whispered in Yelu Chun's ear: "Your Majesty, the west has just come to the fore and said that Cai still led 100,000 elite troops to attack Ru and Guizhou. It seems that he is preparing to kill Yanshan and attack Yanjing."

Yelu Chun was shocked, and he hurriedly ordered Xiao Gan and said, "Call the ministers quickly and come here to discuss countermeasures!"

After receiving the notice, the ministers of the Fan Han Dynasty from Northern Liao came to Yelu Chun's bedroom for a meeting.

Looking at Yelu Chun, who was gray-haired, haggard, unhinged, and thin, the ministers of the Fan Han Dynasty in the Northern Liao Dynasty were both sad and anxious.

Yelu Chun lay half lying on the bed, looking at the ministers, and said weakly: "Now, Cai is still leading 100,000 elite troops to attack Yanjing. What should you do?"

After hearing this, everyone was shocked and immediately quarreled!

Someone said: "Fight to the end! The soldiers come and the generals block it, and the water comes and the soil cover it. Since our Great Liao warriors can defeat the Song army, they will definitely defeat Cai Gan's men!"

Some people say: "Cai still defeated the Jin army with the same force. His combat power cannot be underestimated. He is not comparable to the weak Song army. Now he has personally led a 100,000 army to the east, so I am afraid it will not be so easy to defeat."

Some people say: "What Cai Shen did should be the enemy of the Song Dynasty. If Yanjing was taken away by Cai Shen, the Song Dynasty would not be far from the collapse of the country. We can use this to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty and jointly deal with Cai Shen."

Someone sneered: "We just defeated the Song army, causing the Song Dynasty to lose tens of thousands of troops. Can the Song Dynasty form an alliance with us? Take a step back and say, even if the Song Dynasty is willing to form an alliance with us, will we dare to let the Song army enter the territory? Aren't we afraid that the Song Dynasty will make a false attack on Guo?"

Some people say: "Why don't you surrender to the Jurchens? Borrow the Jurchens..."

Before this person could finish his words, someone angrily said, "My Great Liao landed in such a land today, because of the Jurchen rebellion. I would rather surrender to Cai and the Song Dynasty than surrender to the Jurchens!"

Someone took the opportunity to say, "What about surrendering to Cai?"

“…”

Listening to the quarrels of the crowd and thinking that they had no way out in Bei Liao, Yelu Chun was so angry that he vomited a large mouthful of blood, then he tilted his head back and fainted!

Seeing this, the imperial doctors waiting beside him rushed forward to rescue him.

It was not until the next morning that Yelu Chun slowly woke up.

After that, Yelu Chun's body was completely praised, relying on the thousand-year-old ginseng to hold her last breath.

On this day, the sun was bright and covered with wooden lattice windows.

Yelu Chun suddenly felt that his mind was very refreshed today, so he asked Xiao Puxian’s daughter to inform Li Chuwen to come and meet him.

In front of Xiao Puxian, Yelu Chun wrote a note to Li Chuwen, and granted Li Chuwen the Marshal of the Cavalry and Infantry Army of the Han Dynasty. He asked Li Chuwen to command all the troops of Liao Kingdom, and instructed: "After I die, you must welcome the King of Qin Yeluding to succeed the throne, and you must not make any mistakes."

Li Chuwen agreed with tears in his eyes.

Yelu Chun then closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

actually--

Yelu Chun did not sleep, and he really couldn't fall asleep. He thought: "Now, Cai still personally led a hundred thousand troops to attack Yanjing, and the Jurchen army had gathered to Bei'anzhou in the north, and the Song Dynasty also dispatched troops on the southern border. These three sharp arrows were about to be shot at Yanjing. How could Yanjing save it?"

Yelu Chun slowly opened his eyes, then looked at Xiao Puxian and said, "After I die, you must take care of yourself. I will ascend to the throne and become emperor, which has implicated you. You... Forget it, it's time and fate!"

After saying that, Yelu Chun cried silently.

Seeing that Yelu Chun was obviously about to die, Li Chuwen hurriedly sent someone to secretly notify the ministers, saying that His Majesty was in critical condition and asked everyone to come and serve him quickly.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, Li Chuwen quietly left the palace city - he wanted to close the gate of Yanjing, block Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi and other generals outside the gate, and then sent someone to Xiongzhou to contact Tong Guan and let Tong Guan lead his army, and then he opened the door to welcome the surrender.

But when Li Chuwen rushed to Yingchun Gate, the guards reported to him that Xiao Gan had led three thousand elite cavalry to enter the city just now.

Li Chuwen was shocked when he heard the news!

At this sensitive moment, Xiao Gan led his army into the city. Needless to say, it must have been arranged by his sister Xiao Puxian.

Li Chuwen really didn't expect that Xiao Puxian's move would be so fast.

Judging from this duel, Li Chuwen was completely defeated by Xiao Puxian.

When Xiao Gan came to Yelu Chun's bedroom, Yelu Chun had completely closed his eyes. The former grassland overlord, Daliao, the once vast empire, had once made even worse.

Xiao Gan immediately blocked the news and implemented martial law on the imperial city, forged an edict to come to the palace to discuss matters.

When the ministers came to the imperial city, they saw three steps and five steps. The atmosphere was extremely serious, so they all guessed what was going on.

really!

Xiao Gan soon announced to the ministers: "According to Your Majesty's death will, Helu Ding, the son of King Huaiyin, was appointed as the emperor, and the daughter of Princess Xiao's wife, was the Empress Dowager. Since Yelu Ding followed his father Beining, Empress Dowager Xiao was in charge of military affairs."

Everyone was alone, no one dared to raise objections.

Xiao Puxian’s daughter immediately changed her reign name to “Dexing”——Xiao Puxian’s daughter called “Defei”. Therefore, it is not difficult to see her ambitions and expectations from the reign she established for herself.

Li Chuwen also received a notice of the meeting, but he claimed that he was ill at home, so he asked his son Li Shi to quickly contact the heroes and warriors of Yanjing, preparing to secretly uprising and present Yanjing to the Song Dynasty.

In order to ensure that everything is safe, Li Chuwen actually secretly contacted Dajin.

In short, when Li Chuwen saw that the Great Liao was really dead, he had already begun to find a way out for his family - there was also the meaning of finding a way out for the Northern Liao. In Li Chuwen's view, the path that Yelu Chun took was right. In this case, the Northern Liao could only be protected by calling a vassal to the Song Dynasty.

As the head of all officials, Li Chuwen did not come to visit. In other words, Li Chuwen did not recognize her dominance, which made Xiao Puxian a little uneasy.

Xiao Puxian said to Xiao Gan: "Li Chuwen has a note in his hand, which was written by the late emperor, and appointed him as the Marshal of the Military and Horse Capital. If that note is in his hands, you will also be controlled by him. The note should be taken back as soon as possible. The note cannot be allowed to be in the hands of a Han man, so as not to leave any future troubles."

That's right.

Xiao Puxian’s daughter did not believe in the Han people.

It can even be said that Xiao Puxian hated the Han people very much, hated them for being despicable and shameless, and took advantage of others' dangers and always wanted to surrender.

Sometimes, Xiao Puxian’s daughter wanted to kill all the Han officials and Han people under her rule to vent her hatred.

pity!

The Northern Liao Dynasty is now full of holes and does not support Xiao Puxian’s idea at all.

Xiao Gan said: "Tomorrow the Empress Dowager invites him to the palace, and I promise to let him hand over the things obediently."

The next morning, Xiao Puxian's daughter ordered Li Chuwen to enter the palace immediately and discuss important matters.

Li Chuwen, Li Chuneng, and Li Shi discussed in the secret room of Li's mansion for a long time.

Li Chuneng said: "Concubine Xiao De and Xiao Gan are both cruel and scheming people. Brother must be careful. I think you will continue to call him sick, so it's better not to go."

Li Chuwen smiled and said, "It must be Concubine Xiao De and Xiao Gan who are thinking about the letter of the Marshal of the Military and Horses in my hand. They want to force me to hand it over. Don't worry, they are in control of the government and should not dare to attack me. When I go into the palace and take a look, what tricks do they have?"

Li Chuwen then entered the palace to pay homage to Xiao Puxian's daughter.

And Xiao Gan is also here.

As soon as Li Chuwen saw Xiao Puxian's daughter, he quickly stepped forward, then knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty left, and the old minister was hit hard and couldn't afford to get sick. Today is better... The old minister has a note written by His Majesty to the old minister before his death. The old minister dared not keep it privately, so he is now submitted to the empress dowager for disposal."

As he said that, Li Chuwen took out the note of the Marshal of the Military and Horses from his arms and held it to Xiao Puxian in both hands.

Li Chuwen's performance made Xiao Puxian very satisfied. She smiled slightly and said, "The Grand Marshal Li is old and should take care of his health first. Leave the complicated military and horse affairs to the young people to deal with."

One day later, Xiao Puxian's daughter appointed Xiao Gan as the Privy Council of the North and South Courts and the Marshal of the Military and Horse Capital, and all the soldiers and horses in the world were commanded by Xiao Gan.

Since then, Northern Liao entered the era of Xiao Puxian’s rule...
