Li Chuwen was extremely angry...
"You are too fast to turn against each other, right? The Jin army is attacking Zhongjing, and you sent troops to attack Yanjing again. This is simply taking advantage of the situation. What is the benefit of this? Do you understand the principle of losing your lips and cold teeth? The Jurchens are a wolf that cannot be fed. He eats the Khitans and will eat you Han people without wiping away the blood from the corners of his mouth. Don't you know?"
Li Hu waited until he finished venting, and then he said slowly: "Didn't you see the siege I issued? You haven't received the news that my army was secretly helping the Liao army guard Zhongjing? I told you that day that I could join forces with the Khitans to attack Jin, but the premise is that Yelu Chun is the emperor, I will never lose my wealth and life to your foolish emperor."
"So what?" Li Chuwen asked, "So you have to use attacking Yanjing as a threat? Do you think Yelu Chun can be the emperor in this way? If things are as simple as you think, can the Liao Dynasty fall into the same situation today? Don't fool me. The purpose of yours is to alienate the relationship between the emperor and the King of Yan, to put the palace tent into chaos, and then take the opportunity to capture Yanjing. You said you wanted to join Liao to attack Jin, but in fact, it was the secret of joining Jin to attack Liao. You were defeated by yourself, do you know?"
"Don't be excited..." Li Hu smiled, "You can't solve the problem like this. Now you are attacked on both sides and fighting on both sides. If I attack at any cost, you will definitely lose Zhongjing. As for the current situation, the initiative is controlled by me, and you have no bargaining conditions. Go back and tell your emperor that you will either abdicate in the King of Yan immediately and let Yan be the emperor, or you will lose Zhongjing and Nanjing, and flee to the desert to survive."
Li Chuwen was angry and sighed speechlessly. He never expected that Li Hu would implement such a vicious plan of separation at this critical moment.
Li Hu took advantage of the opportunity of the Jurchens to attack Zhongjing. He suddenly attacked Yanjing. In order to support Yelu Chun as the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, he actually split the Liao Dynasty. Once the Liao Dynasty splits and its strength is weaker, Nanjing will definitely be lost. Even if he can stick to a corner of the desert in the future, it will only be a three-point pattern of Liaodong, which just fulfilled Li Hu's wish. Now it seems that he can only take advantage of the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition to take the initiative to cede land, abolish annual monies, and use the power of the Song Dynasty to ensure the prosperity of the Liao Dynasty. However, if you want to implement this strategy, you must first stop the division. However, who can stop the division now?
Yelu Chun believes that there is only one way to stop the division, defeat Li Hu and defeat Li Hu as quickly as possible, in order to prove that this is Li Hu's plan to disagree.
At this moment, the Emperor of the Great Liao was hunting in Tanshan Mountain and probably hadn't received Li Hu's proclamation. As long as he could seize this short time and launch a fatal blow, there was still a possibility of recovery.
On July 18th, Yelu Chun commanded the army to cross the Gushui River and launch an attack. Li Hu avoided fighting and led the army to move south along the Gushui River.
On July 20th, Li Hu and his army suddenly crossed the river from Xincang. His vanguard horse army killed Sanggan River directly, closer to Yanjing.
Yelu Chun was caught off guard and retreated quickly 150 miles. He set up defenses near Yanjing. Yelu Ning, the governor of Lulong Army, acted slowly. He arrived at Yuyang, Jizhou Zhifu. The southern commander Yelu Dashidi was also slow. He heard that Li Hudi's army suddenly turned and killed Sanggan River. Then he accelerated and advanced to Gu'an and Anci, trying to stop Li Hu from attacking Yanjing.
On July 21, Hou Gui commanded the Feiyun army to capture Wuqing City. Abaddon led the Second Hulie Army to approach Anci and met Yelu Dashidi vanguard army.
The Emperor of the Great Liao urgently dispatched 50,000 troops from Nanjing to Xijing. At the same time, he dismissed Yelu Chundi as the one who stayed in Nanjing. The eldest prince, King Zhao, Xi Nilie, served as Tiyin and served as the one who stayed in Nanjing.
Tiyin was first set up by Yelu Abaoji. Its function was to regulate the internal affairs of the Khitan aristocratic group to ensure that the Khitan aristocratic obeyed the emperor. It was the only official in the northern official system of the Great Liao Dynasty, in charge of the royal family. Emperors of the Daliao dynasties attached great importance to the establishment and selection of Tiyin. Because with the changes of the times, the political and educational functions of Tiyin gradually weakened, but their military functions were gradually strengthened. This directly led to the struggle for power within the royal family, and it was difficult to continue with the country.
This appointment time is very good.
Li Hu sent troops to attack Yanjing as an excuse to support Yelu Chun and dismiss the current emperor. This is a divisive plan. As long as you are not an idiot, you know it. But at this moment, the internal strife in the palace tent is fierce. The king and his ministers are suspicious of each other. The divisive plan may become the best excuse for the two sides to fight again. Yelu Chun is worried about the splitting of the Liao Dynasty and dare not openly break up with the emperor at this time. The emperor happened to threaten the split and force Yelu Chun to hand over the military power.
Marshal Du is actually the Grand Marshal of the Great Liao territory, in charge of the army of the Great Liao. Tiyin has the function of regent under the emperor's authorization. King Zhao was regent with Tiyin, which was equivalent to controlling the military power. Marshal Du also had to listen to Tiyin. In addition, he also served as the left-behind Nanjing, which was equivalent to controlling the financial and political powers of Nanjing.
If Yelu Chun publicly resisted the order, it would be equivalent to breaking with the Emperor of the Great Liao and splitting the Great Liao. Yelu Chun had no choice but to obey. At this time, if the king and his ministers fought again, it would be a good deal for Li Hu and he picked up a Nanjing for nothing.
After King Xi Nilie of Zhao took office, the first thing he did was to allocate 50,000 troops from Nanjing to Xijing.
At this moment, there were nearly 100,000 troops on the battlefield of Zhongjing, and there were also 100,000 troops in Nanjing, of which 50,000 troops were brought by Yelu Dashi from the Southwest Road. The current governor of the Southwest Road was Yelu Foding. After he took away the 50,000 troops, there was only 50,000 troops left in Nanjing. Fighting Li Hu with 50,000 troops, there was no chance of victory. Once defeated, Nanjing would be defeated. Therefore, Yelu Chun had to order all the troops to quickly retreat to Nanjing City and defend the city to the death.
King Xi Nilie of Zhao adopted the opinions of the ministers of the palace tent and urgently sent envoys to Li Hu's army to delay Li Hu's attack by marriage.
At the same time, the prime ministers of the north and south prefectures rushed to Xijing to advise the emperor to face up to the situation in Liaodong and not rush to retreat. Instead, they deployed their main troops in Zhongjing and Nanjing to ensure that the two capitals remain unrest. At the same time, they sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to discuss land exchange for aid, thereby ensuring the reign of the Liao Dynasty.
This place is one hundred miles away from Zhuozhou, two hundred miles away from Yizhou, and three hundred miles away from Zijin Pass.
Li Hu ordered Dong Xiaochou to lead Hu Jiayong's resentful army, defeat the Yunshuo army of Qin and Gao Baolong's Bohai army, capture Yizhou as quickly as possible, and then kill Zijin Pass directly to open the gate to Xijing Road. In order to prevent Yelu Dashi from rushing towards Yanjing, Li Hu led Mao's Huli Army, Hou Gu's Feiyun Army, and Wei Fu's Liaoxing Army to attack Zhuozhou and continue to attack Yanjing.
On the second day of August, the Liao envoy Han rushed to the camp of the rebel army under the city of Zhuozhou.
At this time, marriage is actually an excuse. To put it bluntly, I want to bribe you, I want to use beauty and money to bribe you, please stop attacking Yanjing and withdraw your troops back to Liaoxi.
It was less than a hundred days from Yelu Yuji's bidding to Li Hu's attack on Yanjing, but the Liao Kingdom fell from the sky to the ground. The arrogance and confidence of the past were gone, leaving only depression and despair. The expression on Han's face vividly interpreted the psychological changes of a loser. Although Li Hu was very proud, he couldn't laugh because all this was not fought by his strength, but the Khitans themselves destroyed themselves. Internal strife was too terrible. It caused a powerful country that had been established for more than two hundred years to fall into the abyss of defeat.
"If I don't agree..." Li Hu said slowly with a long tone.
"The King of Yan will not be an emperor because it will lead to the split of the Great Liao Dynasty. He will bear the blame for the defeat of the Great Liao Dynasty." Han smiled bitterly, "At this moment, you and I will kill each other, but it will be cheaper for the Jurchens. Your strength is not enough to compete with the Jurchens. If you join forces with the Great Liao, you will still have hope of making a three-pointer in Liaodong. Otherwise, your lips will be lost and the teeth will be cold. The Khitans will go far away to the desert, and you will be driven into the sea. The Jurchens will dominate Liaodong."
Li Hu sneered, "Who are you?"
Han was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Li Hu meant, "I am a Han, but I have not seen any hope of the Han people unifying Liaodong yet."
Li Hu was angry and almost cursed. Zhimo, according to your statement, whoever can unify Liaodong will be with whom you will be? If the Jurchens unify Liaodong, would you turn to the Jurchens and become the Jurchens? A Han man has fallen to this point, without blood, no backbone, no courage, even if he is well-educated, he is just a cartilage dog.
Li Hu was too lazy to talk to him. If you don’t take advantage of it, that would be an idiot. Since you insist on giving me a Khitan princess, why should I not? Besides, I need time to attack the Zijin Pass now, so I just take this opportunity to hide the truth so that you will not be able to see through the intention early.
"Is the princess pretty?" Li Hu asked, "Don't just find a woman to fool me. If you give me an ugly monster, I will chop her up and feed her to the dog."
Han Ren swallowed his anger and boasted about the princess. Yelu Chun's daughter is of course not bad, she has a natural beauty and a super talent.
"Can you play chess?" Li Hu asked again.
Han nodded.
"How many dowry is there?" Li Hu asked, "If you lose 100,000 yuan, don't send someone here, I won't even look at it."
Han was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he had to bear it.
