"No, what you said is not true. I, my grandpa would not do this. Prince, you, don't believe what he said!" Princess Xiao Hunian was a little lost. She didn't want what Le San said. It's true. Le San has no reason to tell lies, because when the prince returns to Shangjing and everything comes to light, Le San will definitely die if he lies.
"Le San, you know so much. It seems that I really can't underestimate you. How can you, a Han, know so much? Let's get it for you!" King Taiping also muttered in his heart, who could this kid know so much? people.
"My lord, you don't have to guess who I am. Out of ten people, I am the only one left here to deliver a message to you. My sincerity can be judged by the sun and the moon! I was born in Huanglong City. My parents died early and I was helpless. You have survived until now, and what you have experienced is really horrible! Our Liao Kingdom has not stopped in the past ten years. We are either beating or killing. The result of political instability is that we have to swallow our anger against the Zhou Kingdom. Now His Majesty is addicted to alcohol every day. They rarely interfered with political affairs, and did not have enough restraint on these royal relatives, which caused them to go their own way, just like the heroes in the late Tang Dynasty who separated themselves and established vassal kings! The result was that the people were in dire straits and disasters continued! All of this was caused by this gang. Damn it. I wanted to take refuge with a wise master and do my best for the country, so after thinking about it, I thought of you, Your Highness Prince Taiping. When you were struggling to guard the border, did you know those damn guys who went to Beijing? What kind of life are we living! They live in wine and meat every day, are debauched, corrupt, and extremely luxurious. If this continues, the country will not be a country! Your Highness!"
King Taiping actually knew what Yu Le said, but what could he do? What can I do without the support of my brother? There can be no second chance after the failed rebellion, alas!
"Le San, do you have any ideas?"
"Your Highness, you have heard of the policy of cutting down the vassal vassal from the period of Emperor Jingdi of the Han Dynasty: If you cut it off now, it will be reversed. If you don't cut it off, it will be reversed. If you cut it off, the reaction will be urgent and the disaster will be small; if you don't cut it off, the reaction will be delayed and the disaster will be small. big."
"Be specific."
"Your Majesty, now that you have the opportunity to return to Beijing, it means that His Majesty the Emperor still misses the old feelings, still has you in his heart, and forgives the mistakes you made before. Then you must seize this hard-won opportunity. When you return to Beijing, you must stay behind closed doors."
"Hmph! How can we act behind closed doors?" Xiao Hunian was unhappy and said nonsense.
"Don't interrupt, just listen to him." King Taiping said, and Xiao Hunian gave Yu Le a deathly look! He looks quite handsome, but I don't know if he is sincere.
"My lord, staying behind closed doors is actually keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile. When you return to Shangjing, you will definitely become the focus of everyone. This is not good. We Han people have a proverb that shoots the first bird, which means you can't be too pushy! You will be jealous and hated by others, and there will be more and more enemies. You must let the emperor and many ambitious guys think that you are enjoying your return to Beijing this time, and do not care about political affairs or court affairs. Let them Gradually relax your vigilance towards you, so that you can act more conveniently and figure it out slowly."
"As for the reduction of the vassal, before we gain momentum, we must sow discord and let them bite each other. After we reap the benefits of the fishermen, we will attack the easy ones first and then the difficult ones. We will defeat them one by one. Only after we deal with them can we stabilize the country."
"In addition, the North-South branch of our country is also the biggest problem. This is a separatist move in itself. It seems to appease the interests of all parties, but in fact there is constant internal fighting. You should learn from us Han people and centralize power. The whole country must listen to you. Yes, anyone who disobeys will be killed. You cannot be a monarch if you are soft-hearted."
The way Prince Taiping looked at Le San changed, it was not like a domestic slave nurse could understand what this boy said. There's something wrong with this kid!
"Easier said than done!" King Taiping said with emotion.
"Your Highness, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, if you don't walk! How can you know whether the outcome will be good or bad? The road is long and long, and I will search up and down!" Yu Le encouraged and deceived, very enthusiastic! It's so vomiting and fishy.
King Taiping thought deeply. What this boy said made sense. He had trusted the wrong person before. He had to learn from his experience and lessons. This Le San can be reused!
"Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong. I'm resigning!" Yu Le knew that some things should be done in moderation, and he couldn't rush for quick success. The Forbidden City was not built in a day!
"Master, can I just stay here?" Mengtian asked Yu Le, who had just returned.
"You still want to die!" Yu Le glared at him.
"Hehe, no! There should be no problem in self-protection. This is a rare war!" The boy's eagerness to try puzzled Yu Le.
"The fight hasn't started yet! Let's talk about it later!"
Two days later, the war finally came. Yu Le was called to protect the princess, and Mengtian was also taken away by Yu Le.
At this time, Taiping King Yelu Sage faced the menacing divination blockers. While sending people to report to the court, he closed the four gates tightly and went up to the city to defend. King Taiping knew that the city of Kedun was more than thousands of miles away from Shangjing, blocked by the desert, and water from far away could not quench the thirst of the people nearby. Reinforcements would not arrive for a while. He mobilized all the people in the city and selected young and strong prisoners to form a death squad of 200 people for constant defense.
Nowadays, the Ugu tribes, enemy tribes, etc. on the Mobei grassland, as well as the Zubu tribes that have rebelled many times, are all warriors and can fight on horseback. Their common feature is that they are good at field battles, but lack the experience and ability to attack cities. appliance.
King Taiping prepared enough bows and arrows, but he knew that the city was short of food and people, and was in danger under a long siege.
Thousands of fortune tellers began to besiege the city. After first experiencing the rain of arrows from King Taiping, they waved flags and shouted provocations outside the city. Yelu Sage was determined to give them some clues, so he ordered the two hundred death squads to prepare for the attack, and each of them prepared a fast horse.
He paid close attention to the movements of the divination people on the city. When it was almost noon, the divination people got a little tired. Many people jumped off their horses, took off their armor, sat on the grass, pointed at the city and yelled curses.
Yelu Sage ordered his deputy general Yelu Dada to lead 200 people to attack. In an instant, the city gate opened wide, and these two hundred people came flying over and rushed into the people blocking the afternoon. Although these two hundred people were all brave, the blocking people were outnumbered, and they were soon surrounded. Rushing left and right, they gradually lost their support and fell down one after another.
Yelu Sage saw that his troops were in danger! He was so anxious that he ordered a hundred soldiers to rush out of the city, regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates. Most of the 200 people led by Lieutenant General Yelu Dada had lost more than half. When they saw Taiping King Yelu Sage personally coming to rescue them, their morale immediately increased and they fought desperately. When Yelu Sage killed two leaders of the Zubu tribe one after another, The Zufu people could no longer hold on and retreated one after another. Seeing that King Taiping was desperate to save his men and shaking the hearts of the Zufu soldiers, the Liao soldiers in the city beat drums and waved flags, opened the city gate and rushed out. He killed the divination-blocking people like a vigorous dragon and a tiger.
The defeated Zubu people turned their horses and fled. Yelu Sage's killing spree began, and they pursued them relentlessly for a while. This battle not only successfully repelled the invading Zubu people, but also allowed Zubu to escape. People remembered Yelu Sage, the prince of Liao Dynasty. From then on, all the surrounding tribes sent people to pay tribute and were willing to obey Yelu Sage's orders.
