Chapter 283 Yelu Deguang Appears
Ye Hua was in Zhuozhou. In addition to actively preparing for war, he also paid close attention to the situation of the Khitan, especially how to lure the Khitan to take the initiative to move south, which became the most important task.
He put back many gentry and powerful families, as well as bureaucratic prisoners, not because he was ruthless, but because he wanted to use these people to spread the message. If they were eager to retaliate, they would definitely belittle the combat effectiveness of the Zhou soldiers, desperately give the Khitan emperor a soul, and encourage the Khitan to send troops. These traitors can also play a big role if they use them well.
Yelu Jing is a fool and will definitely be fooled.
Ye Hua was very confident, but after waiting for a while, there was no news.
"It seems that I underestimated the degree of Yelu Jing's waste. Someone must have suppressed Han Chen's request." Ye Hua tapped the table with one hand. No, he had to burn a fire!
Ye Hua called Zhao Er and ordered: "Go and send our people a letter to them and let them move."
Zhao Kuangyi didn't know what the action plan was. He just had to pass on the order according to Ye Hua's intention and told him to implement it according to the plan.
Zhao Er quickly went down to make arrangements, but as soon as he went down, someone sent the news.
According to the secret report, it turned out that the Khitan Emperor got an oracle from the sky while hunting. It seemed that His Majesty the Emperor was determined to go south and his troops were preparing, but then there was no movement... The intelligence personnel of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not figure out what was going on, but they just speculated that the Khitan Emperor had changed his mind temporarily. He could only report to Ye Hua and request instruction.
"Organisms from heaven? Such things can only deceive fools and stupid women. If the Khitan really relies on the oracle to decide on military and national affairs, it will be very close to the destruction of the country."
Zhao Er did not take the news seriously, but as a secret report, he could not deduct it, so he could only put it last and give it to Ye Hua.
Ye Hua quickly browsed the previous news. When he saw the last one, his eyes lit up and held it in his hand. After reading it several times, he suddenly started to laugh.
"Do you think it's not important?"
Zhao Er nodded honestly and said contemptuously: "The teacher in the school said that the theory of gods and ghosts is not credible, and people in the world are accustomed to pretending to be gods and ghosts. Most of them are just bullying and tricks."
"Hahaha, you're right, but... the Khitans have never been to school! Moreover, even if they use the right trick, they will have unexpected results."
Ye Hua pondered: "If what I expected was right, this oracle should have been caused by someone, in order to instigate the Khitan emperor to send troops. And it proved that it was effective, but it was just a little short of time!"
Zhao Er was puzzled, "Master, who did that, why did he help us?"
Ye Hua thought for a while, "Maybe it was made by those Han officials who fled back, or maybe it was done by the people from the Imperial City Department... But no matter what, it will be beneficial to us! It can be used in conjunction with my plan, and the effect will be doubled!"
Ye Hua was furious, and Zhao Er suddenly became curious. What should Ye Hua do? What are some clever strategies? It's really worrying! But he also knew the rules of the military, his status was not enough, and some secrets were not known. If he knew, he would only cause trouble for himself.
Hold on, anyway, you will soon know what tricks your master will come up with. It is probably much better than this guy who pretends to be a fool!
...
"It's a waste!"
Chen Tuan sighed. He thought that using the oracle from heaven and the Bodhisattva's magic move would encourage Yelu Jing to send troops, but there was also Yelu House, which was too deceitful.
On the surface, he agreed to send troops, but secretly stumbling, asking his subordinates to write a letter saying that there were not enough war horses, insufficient food and supplies, and insufficient soldiers... In short, he found various excuses and delayed the dispatch of troops.
And Yelu Jing, he was a cat and a dog. After waiting for a few days, he put the oracle of the Bodhisattva aside and actually went to hunt again.
Chen Tuan was simply helpless!
Ye Hua, it’s because the old Taoist doesn’t help you, I’ve tried my best.
The old Taoist has never done a loss-making business for so many years!
Chen Tuan was stunned for a while, and took a pen to write a list: a piece of green jade, a Kongming lantern, and five kilograms of rosin that caused the fire... After writing, Chen Tuan finally wrote that due to the failure, he only collected the cost and 10,000 yuan! He was not deceived and was sincere in his business. If the old man needs to continue to serve, please pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan first.
After writing, Chen Tuan sighed, "Oh, in the future, you have to pay first before doing things. The old man can't do anything to lose money and gain publicity."
He put the envelope in and wanted to find an opportunity to send it out. He happened to be hungry, so he went out to find something to eat.
But as soon as Chen Tuan went on the street, he saw three or three whispering and talking... Chen Tuan dressed like a Westerner, but did not attract many people's attention. He walked by the crowd. He listened to one sentence or another, but he didn't stop for a long time, but he made it clear.
It turned out that in the Taimiao of Khitan, last night, a fire suddenly appeared in the night sky, illuminating half of the sky. The officials and guards of the Taimiao hurried in. As a result, they saw a tall black shadow outside the temple where Emperor Taizong was worshipping Emperor Taizong and hurriedly chased after him.
The black shadow walked to the gate of the hall, suddenly turned around, followed by the fire, and everyone saw clearly that this person was somewhat similar to the statue of Yelu Deguang.
In a blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
Everyone rushed in and found a line of big words written on the ground of the hall. Anger came to their faces: My son, I want to pacify the Central Plains for his father, but he has not succeeded in his army. I feel deeply regretful, why are you so unsteadily? You are my son in vain!
The handwriting on the ground was very sloppy, but some people recognized it. It was indeed the handwriting of Yelu Deguang, and they were immediately scared to collapse on the ground.
"Emperor Taizong has appeared!"
"Emperor Taizong is angry!"
"Emperor Taizong asked His Majesty today why didn't he march into the Central Plains?"
...
Such news quickly spread among the Khitans. Within five days, the emperor Nabo and all the nobles knew about it. Everyone was talking about the emergence of Yelu Deguang.
Finally, Yelu Jing stopped hunting.
He sat in the imperial tent, staring at the ground in front of him, and staring straight into his mind!
He was the son of Yelu Deguang. Emperor Taizong personally led the powerful soldiers, destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty, occupied Kaifeng, changed the Khitan to the Great Liao Dynasty, and reached the peak of his life.
But then, there were wars everywhere and the people continued to resist. Yelu Deguang withdrew from Kaifeng with regret and died halfway. In order not to let the body rot, the genius Khitan minister made His Majesty's body into bacon.
My father is unwilling to give up!
Think about my father, what a hero he is!
From Shi Jingtang, he took the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and later promoted troops to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty, which was awe-inspiring world. He turned a nomadic tribe into the world's most powerful country.
But now, let alone entering the Central Plains, even Yan Yun cannot be saved.
Can the father not be angry? His son is unfilial!
First, there was the oracle of the Bodhisattva, and I ignored it. Now that my father has appeared, I am still indifferent and angered the gods and ancestors. Why should I become this emperor?
Yelu Jing became serious and he reflected on himself.
Over the years, there has been no achievements.
The previous period of the world raised troops to go south and wanted to hunt with the Great Zhou. As a result, it became a peace talk. The two sides were doing business. Within a few months, Yan Yun became in chaos, and then Zhou Bing fought over.
It's so damn embarrassing. I'm being fooled by someone!
If I don’t take this revenge, how can I have the face to be a human being?
The more Yelu Jing thought about it, the more angry he became, and he wanted to slap himself. His eyes were red and he said sternly: "Please come here!"
Soon, Yelu Wuzhi arrived, and the old guy obviously felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"I want to fight south! How are the soldiers and horses prepared?" Yelu Jing asked fiercely.
Yelu Wuzhi certainly wanted to delay, "Your Majesty, there is still some lack of food and supplies. The old minister has asked the Xi army to raise an army and it will take a month to arrive, right?"
"Enough! Don't shirk it anymore!"
Yelu Jing was furious and pointed at Yelu Wuzhi's nose and scolded him.
"I am the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty. I have 600,000 cavalry and look down on my face. I am invincible in the world. I don't need to tremble and wince in front of the Han people. I have the protection of gods and the protection of my ancestors. I want to march immediately. Whoever dares to obstruct or restrain me, I will never be polite! Including you! You are my king of the North Court, not the emperor, the world wants me to make the decision, the world is my, not yours! No!"
Yelu Wuzhi was so scolded that he was stunned.
He was the one who supported Yelu Jing as the emperor and was a serious old minister of decisive strategies. After so many years, you have done something wrong and made people angry. It is entirely up to me to maintain the Khitan so that the Khitan will not be in chaos.
Why, now you dislike me for being constrained? You are the emperor, do you have that great ability? Can you be the leader?
Yelu Wuzhi was very angry and he almost cursed Yelu Jing.
You know, the Khitan is not as gentle as the Central Plains. He draws his sword to face each other whenever he disagrees, and can do anything. Yelu Cha cuts and kills Yelu Ruan, and Yelu Jing kills Yelu Cha cuts and then... Yelu Wuzhi holds great power, kills Yelu Jing and becomes the emperor. It is not impossible.
But at the last moment, Yelu Wuzhi suppressed his anger. After all, he was loyal to the Khitan royal family. Others could do it, but he couldn't do it!
"Your Majesty, the Southern Dynasty is aggressive and should not be taken lightly. The old minister thinks that we should still make plans for the long term."
"No need!" Yelu Jing interrupted rudely, and then said optimistically: "The Bodhisattva oracle, the father appears, the Great Liao Dynasty has the protection of gods, and the destiny is with me! I will win this battle! I am full of confidence! Within three days, I must raise an army! Disobey the will - behead!"
The wind blew the battle flag, the heat had not subsided, the poplar and willow branches were all wilted, and the cicadas were also so angry that they were weak. But Yelu Jing was full of spirit and full of confidence.
Under the protection of the Pishou Army, he led an army of 100,000, and headed straight for Youzhou. Other tribes continued to join, with more and more people, and His Majesty the Emperor's confidence became stronger and stronger.
"In this battle, I want to fulfill my father's last wish, drink horses from the Central Plains, sweep across China, and at least get the north of the Yellow River! Hahaha!"
His Majesty the Emperor's optimism infected the Khitan soldiers.
The cheers of the people made Yelu Jing flutter, as if he was in the clouds.
Chen Tuan was mixed in the crowd of farewells, and he murmured: "Oh, you really have a strong one. Yelu Deguang showed his power, you can do it!"
Chen Tuan was very sure that such a sinister idea must have been done by Ye Hua. The Khitan army went south, with more losses and less victory...
Chapter completed!
