Chapter 49: Fatal Threat

In the desert, Yelu Hongji's Oludo, Yelu Hongji was having a feast with his ministers.

For Yelu Hongji, this period of time was unlucky. The Liao Kingdom first suffered a great defeat in Xiongzhou, and then lost its annual monies. However, Yelu Hongji still endured it and returned to the desert from Youzhou to prepare for the hot summer before returning to Youzhou.

The Khitans were cold-resistant and not heat-resistant. When summer came, they would come to the desert to escape the summer heat. The summer heat was to have fun, there were not too many state affairs, and they lived a relaxed and comfortable life. In addition to hunting, they would be feasting with their ministers.

After eating and drinking for a while, Yelu Hongji became a little drunk and his ministers became more and more talked. Some ministers began to curse: "Hmph! The people in the south are hateful and annoying, especially the Wu Ji, who ruined the good things of the Great Liao!"

"This Wu Ji first lifted the siege of Xiongzhou, then robbed the annual monies and slapped the Liao Dynasty in the face. It was really not a thing. If it weren't for the overall situation, I would have to twist his dog head."

"The Southerners have been tamed for more than a hundred years. Wu Ji is the most incompetent, and he has repeatedly ruined the good things of the Liao Dynasty."

"When it comes to the Southern people, they are like lambs, as timid as mice. When they see the warriors of the Liao Dynasty, they will run away. Even a Wu Ji cannot accomplish anything. Sooner or later, they will be destroyed. Don't talk about him, don't disturb our drinking."

"It is better to say something happy than to drink and sing in life."

Yelu Hongji waved his right hand, and the ministers stopped talking, looked at him and waited for him to speak. Yelu Hongji glanced at the ministers and said, "When you drink, don't say anything disappointing, and say something happy. Although Wu Ji caused some trouble to the Great Liao, it would not become a climate. It will be destroyed sooner or later, so let him live a few more days first."

He picked up the wine glass and said, "Damn!"

"Do it!" The ministers raised their glasses to greet each other, and drank them all with their necks. They were so happy.

"Zi!" Yelu Hongji put down his wine glass happily and continued: "It's better to have people like Wu Ji, otherwise, a group of wolves and a group of sheep would be too uninterested."

"Haha!" The ministers let out a rampant laughter: "The warriors of the Great Liao are wolves, and the southerners are sheep!"

"I promise you that Wu Ji will not die well!" Yelu Hongji's drunkenness came up and said too much: "He can never destroy the good things of the Liao Dynasty again."

At this moment, a confidant quickly stepped in, with a look of fear on his face, and had to endure it, salute to Yelu Hongji, and said, "Report to the Emperor, Laishui's horse farm has been attacked by the Southern Dynasty."

"Haha!" Yelu Hongji felt a little drunk and didn't understand it too much, so he couldn't help laughing. As soon as he laughed out loud, he immediately reacted: "What are you saying? Laishui's horse farm attacked the Southern Dynasty? Is this possible?"

"Laishui Horse Farm is hundreds of miles away from Song Realm. Do the southerners have that courage?"

"The southerners are as timid as mice, so they have no courage to enter the territory of the Great Liao Dynasty. You must be lazy and lied about military information."

To rob Laishui horse farm, you have to go deep into the Liao territory. This is a fantasy for the ministers who have always regarded the Song Dynasty as timid as a mouse. They would rather believe that the sun came out from the west than that of the Song Dynasty would attack Laishui horse farm.

"Report to the emperor, Wu Ji attacked the horse farm in Laishui." Another confidant came in to report.

Yelu Hongji was shocked and woke up from the wine. His shrewd side was revealed. His eyes rolled and his brilliance shone: "Is this true?"

"Report to the emperor, after attacking the horse farm, Wu Ji divided his troops to attack and attacked the twelve military camps of the Liao Dynasty, killed thousands of warriors of the Liao Dynasty, and plundered tens of thousands of war horses in the Liao Dynasty, with countless food and grass, and escaped unscathed." Another confidant came in to report.

"What did you say? It attacked twelve military camps, but it was not considered a horse farm?" Yelu Hongji stood up suddenly, and was angry. He was very powerful, angry, and roared like thunder, staring at his confidants.

"Nonsense! Do you think Wu Ji has three heads and six arms and dares to attack twelve military camps." The ministers also disbelief and scolded him.

Yelu Hongji waved his right hand to stop the ministers from scolding him and asked, "Why don't you report it early?"

"Report to the emperor, it was not until Wu Ji returned to the Song realm that the Liao Dynasty discovered that this Wu Ji was elusive and could not be guarded against." The confidant lowered his voice and answered carefully.

Wu Ji attacked so many barracks of the Liao army, and they all returned to the Song territory. The Liao Kingdom realized that this was really aware of it, which made people angry. Yelu Hongji roared: "You are all pigs! I have raised you pigs for nothing! People come and pushed them out and chop them!"

He was obviously venting his anger, but in his anger, no one dared to plead for mercy, so he could only watch Pi Shijun take out a few of his confidants. The confidants were so scared that they could only beg for mercy.

"Come back!" Yelu Hongji was Yelu Hongji. Although he was in a state of rage, he still suppressed his anger. He spared these people and asked them to explain the situation.

These people were so scared that they had to report the situation in detail. Under Yelu Hongji's scolding, they would go as far as they could.

"What do you think?" After Yelu Hongji understood the situation, he did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at the ministers and asked them to express their opinions.

"Your Majesty, this is nothing." A Khitan minister stood up and spoke loudly: "Although he attacked twelve military camps, they were very small military camps and nothing was worth it."

"Yes! The emperor, the southerners are timid and bold once a while, it's nothing, so you don't have to take it to heart." Another Khitan minister didn't care.

"There are few garrisons in these twelve military camps, and the few garrisons, and the more than 6 or 700 people, so they are caught off guard and are not surprised by the southerners." A Han official said this.

Yelu Hongji frowned and let the minister express his opinion, but he did not express anything. Until no minister spoke, he looked at Han Ju and asked, "Han Ju, tell me."

Han Ju just drank on his own and did not participate in the discussion. Hearing this, he said: "Your Majesty, this matter is quite a matter. It can be said that it poses a fatal threat to the Great Liao!"

"Han Ju, don't exaggerate! How could a mere thing cause a fatal threat to the Liao Dynasty?"

"Don't just talk nonsense after you are a famous minister. Although Lord Han is an important official in the Liao Dynasty, he is not you."

Han Ju's words were so shocking that no one could believe them. If you were attacked just once, it would be a fatal threat to the Liao Kingdom, that would be a god.

"Let him finish his words." Yelu Hongji waved his hand, and the ministers did not dare to shout again: "Han Ju, you continue."

"Emperor, Laishui's horse farm, the twelve military camps are all within the territory of the Great Liao, hundreds of miles away from the territory of Song. Wu Ji attacked him, but until he returned to the territory of Song, the Great Liao realized what this meant?" Han Ju started with a rebellious question and then analyzed: "This shows several problems: First, the Congxin Army was equipped with war horses, which came and went like the wind, and was extremely fast. Otherwise, even if Wu Ji had ten courage, he would not dare to come to the territory of the Great Liao for being presumptuous."

Without a war horse, there is no strong mobility and no one dares to come and take risks.

"The emperor knows that the Southern Dynasties' army has more infantry and few cavalry. Such an army is unique." Han Ju continued: "Second, the combat power of the Congxin Army is very strong. If it goes deep into the territory of the Great Liao, it will encounter the Congxin Army. If the Congxin Army's combat power is not strong enough, it will be destroyed. Wu Ji dared to lead the Congxin Army to plunder because the Congxin Army's combat power is strong. This has proved that the Daliao Pishi Army cannot defeat the Congxin Army when it robs the annual monies."

The Piss Army was the most elite army of the Liao Kingdom. The ministers were dissatisfied with Han Ju's conclusion and refuted loudly, which was nothing more than saying that the Converted Army was surprised and the Piss Army didn't care.

Han Ju ignored him and then analyzed, saying, "Third, Wu Ji's news is very accurate, otherwise, it would not have been so ignorant and did not discover it until he returned to Song Realm."

"You said so much, but I didn't see the threat?" Xiao Lu was a little dissatisfied and asked back: "The Han people knew Zhang Daqi's words and were alarmist."

These words were exactly what the ministers thought, and they agreed in unison. For a moment, the voices of doubts sounded.

"Shut up!" Yelu Hongji shouted, and then the ministers closed their mouths. Yelu Hongji looked at Xiao Lu and said coldly: "I asked you to be the Marshal of the Capital and stay in Youzhou. It seems that you are not aware of people."

Xiao Lu didn't dare to speak again about this matter of the future, pursed his lips and looked at Han Ju hatefully.

"Han Ju means that coming and going like the wind, with extremely fast speed and strong combat power. This is the advantage that the Tang army has." Yelu Hongji was extremely smart and understood what Han Ju means, and said: "I believe you haven't forgotten how powerful the Tang army is, right? It's hard to accept and it makes people feel heartbroken, but it has to be said that it was the most painful lesson in the history of the Liao Dynasty. Wu Zetian sent a brigade of partial troops to almost destroy the Liao Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty had to rest for hundreds of years."

When the Tang army was mentioned, the ministers kept getting cold and shut up obediently. As Yelu Hongji said, it was the most painful page in Khitan history, and it almost caused the Khitan race to perish. Who dared to deny the prestige of the Tang army?

"Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the army that swept the world no longer existed. The Congxin Army showed such signs." Yelu Hongji ignored the reactions of the ministers and continued: "The Tang army came and went like the wind, with extremely fast speed and strong combat power. The Congxin Army already has such an advantage. Although they are not many, they have to be vigilant."

After a brief pause, Yelu Hongji was a little funny again and said, "Zhao Xu has always wanted to enrich the country and strengthen the army and appoint Wang Anshi to reform the law, but he is kind to women. Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, Han Qi and others are so strongly opposed to the new law, and he is actually gentle. If it were me, Sima Guang and the others would have been killed long ago. If it were not destroyed or established, and if these people were not killed, how could the new law be implemented? However, the more this is, the more beneficial it will be to the Great Liao. Therefore, over the years, I have sent many people to speak good things for Sima Guang and the others, and Zhao Xu actually believed it."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but beat him: "The new law is difficult and unsustainable. If Wu Ji makes a fuss at the border at this time, it will make Sima Guang and others unable to oppose the new law anymore. The new law is likely to be successfully implemented. The southern people are as timid as mice and are pressing against the Great Liao, but you can't arrogantly think that the Southern Dynasty is useless. On the contrary, there are more people in the South than the Great Liao Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty's skills are better than the Great Liao Dynasty. Once they are combined, the Great Liao will have a catastrophe."
