While Zhang Lin led an army of 200,000 to fight Gao Yongchang and Wanyan Hanlu in the Taizi River, Yelu Dashi left Zhang Lin's army in despair with dozens of people including Xiao Hanli, Uruguay, and Ulab. camp, walking towards the capital in embarrassment.
After the defeated Yelu Dashi saw the emperor Yelu Yelu Yanxi, he knelt down in front of Yelu Yanxi and cried bitterly. Yelu Yanxi got angry for a while and said loudly:
"Yelü Dashi, I originally thought that you were the number one scholar of our Daliao Khitan people and could create a paradise for me in the land of Taizhou. I didn't expect that you couldn't manage your own wife and subordinates well. I was so disappointed."
"I am guilty and have failed the emperor's love and cultivation. I ask the emperor to punish me."
"Hahaha, are you worthy of punishing you? Yelu Dashi, your wife colluded with your subordinates and worked hard to build a prosperous land for more than ten years. In the end, she turned out to be a wedding dress for an adulterer. You have lost more than just The land of hundreds of miles in Taizhou and tens of thousands of people are just the face of our Khitan people in the Liao Dynasty. What we have lost is the face of being a Jinshi in the Liao Dynasty. You can live in this world with a peaceful face."
After Yelu Yanxi finished speaking, Yelu Dashi stopped crying, but stood up and said unhurriedly:
"Being like this, I, Yelu Dashi, will not be happy in life, nor will I suffer in death. I have come thousands of miles here just to inform the emperor that the defeat of Prime Minister Zhang Lin's country has been determined. Please make preparations in advance."
"Bold Yelu Dashi, don't talk nonsense. Zhang Lin is a role model for scholars in the world. Within one month, he gathered 200,000 troops and countless grain and grass to march eastward to Gao Yongchang. Our Daliao cavalry is in great momentum. Where can we come from?" The defeat is certain."
"Hahaha, Your Majesty. A temporary army composed of more than 300 wealthy households is much better than the military chaos caused by the refugees under Gao Yongchang. However, once the Dajin Empire forms an alliance with Gao Yongchang against our Daliao cavalry, Zhang Xiangguo will The two hundred thousand cavalry will be defeated thousands of miles away."
"At that time, not only will our Daliao Dynasty fail to recapture the fifty-four states in Liaodong, but we will also cause an army of 200,000 to die. Your Majesty, these 200,000 troops are behind our wealthy families, merchants, and nobles in the Daliao Dynasty. If they are defeated, If it dies, our Daliao Dynasty will no longer have the support of wealthy households, merchants, and nobles, and the country and the country will be difficult to protect."
Yelu Dashi finished speaking for a long time, but still failed to move Yelu Yanxi's compassion. On the contrary, the newly appointed Left Prime Minister Xiao Fengxian was grateful to Zhang Lin for leading the army to avenge his brother Xiao Baoxian, so he also scorned the nonsense Yelu Dashi. He glanced at the embarrassed Yelu Dashi and said loudly:
"I report to the emperor that Yelu Dashi is bewitching the government and disrupting the government. He should be beheaded. I ask the emperor to behead Yelu Dashi to show to the public."
After Xiao Fengxian finished speaking, Xiao Wuna on the side immediately said:
"Your Majesty, Yelu Dashi is the only number one scholar among the Khitan people in the Liao Dynasty from ancient times to the present. Although he has committed a crime, his crime is not worthy of death. Please give him a lighter punishment."
Yelu Yanxi glanced at Xiao Wuna and scolded him loudly:
"Mr. Xiao, look at the good daughter you gave birth to. If it weren't for her, how could our land of hundreds of miles in Taizhou and tens of thousands of people fall into the hands of the Jin Empire. Not for the sake of your past achievements, I Your nine tribes will be killed long ago."
Seeing that Yelu Yanxi was so angry that his beloved daughter Xiao Liu colluded with his subordinates, killed her husband, and surrendered to the enemy and betrayed her country, Xiao Wuna did not dare to say anything and had to retreat in despair.
After coming over for a while, Yelu Yanxi said slowly:
"However, Mr. Xiao is right in what he said. Although Yelu Dashi is guilty, but the crime does not lead to death, he will be given a hundred military sticks and be sent to Nanjing."
After Yelu Yanxi finished speaking, the Daliao Dynasty immediately suppressed Yelu Yanxi, and his painful screams were heard soon after.
At the same time, Yelu Yanxi continued to discuss and argue with the Manchu ministers, but they could not come up with a solution. Yelu Yanxi was so angry that he left the scene in a hurry.
When he strode back to the harem, he happened to bump into Yelu Dashi who was covered in blood and fell to the ground writing a blood book. After he stayed for a while, he ordered someone to take away the blood book he had written, and immediately asked his guards to read aloud:
"I, the wise and powerful Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty, are on high. The guilty minister Yelu Dashi kowtows again and again, praying for the long life of the Liao Dynasty and long live the emperor."
"Your Majesty, the defeat of the 200,000-strong army of Zhang Lin's Right Prime Minister has been determined, but the Great Jin Empire and the Bohai Great Yuan Kingdom will inevitably have another dispute. If our Daliao Dynasty can form an alliance with Bohai, we will have an extra force to fight on the Liaodong border. The barrier of the Great Jin Empire, secondly, it is much easier for our Daliao cavalry to deal with the soldiers of the Bohai Great Yuan Kingdom who are refugees and stragglers, than to deal with the increasingly prosperous and invincible soldiers of the Great Jin Empire."
"Therefore, the guilty minister Yelu Dashishi asked the emperor that if Zhang Lin, the right prime minister, could not win in Liaodong, it would be better to form an alliance with Gao Yongchang of the Bohai Yuan Dynasty, and the two countries' armies could jointly resist the rising Daijin cavalry."
After listening to the guards reading Yelu Dashi's blood book aloud, Yelu Yanxi stood still thoughtfully. After a while, Xiao Wuna, Xiao Fengxian and others hurried over and knelt down in front of Yelu Yanxi.
Upon seeing this, Yelu Yanxi looked at the people kneeling on the ground. Knowing that he had nothing better to do, he immediately said angrily:
"What happened, what happened, what happened again".
Seeing that Yelu Yanxi was furious, Xiao Fengxian could only say hesitantly:
"Report to the Emperor, Mr. Zhang was defeated. The entire army of 200,000 men was wiped out. Mr. Zhang fled back to Shangjing with tens of thousands of remaining soldiers."
After listening to Xiao Fengxian's report, Yelu Yanxi immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground. Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Wuna, Yelu Dashi and others quickly helped the emperor Yelu Yanxi who fell to the ground. Several emperors and ministers sat on the ground and burst into tears as they returned to the palace from Nanjing. Yelu Chun, the face-sage, also came and everyone cried bitterly together.
After a while, Yelu Yanxi stood up slowly and said to everyone:
"Yelü Dashi is far-sighted and wise. Although he has great faults, he is still a rare talent in our Daliao Dynasty. You can stay with me for the time being and wait for my orders."
Yelu Dashi, who was covered in blood, was about to kneel down to thank him, but Yelu Chun on the side suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, the land of Liaodong has been lost, and the prosperous sixteen states of Yanyun cannot be lost. Yelu Dashi is not only a great talent, but also an old friend of Yelu Chun. Therefore, I would like to ask the emperor to allow Yelu Dashi to stay with me. He stayed in Nanjing to help me guard the sixteen states of Yanyun."
"Okay, okay, Yelu Dashi, since King Yelu Chun of the Qin and Jin Dynasties likes your talent, you can go with him to Nanjing. Any position will be decided by the emperor Yelu Chun himself."
After Yelu Yanxi finished speaking, Yelu Chun and Yelu Dashi immediately knelt down and kowtowed together to express gratitude. After chatting for a long time, Yelu Yanxi drove back to the palace.
After returning to the inn, with the help of Xiao Hanli, Uruguay, Ulabbu, Yelushun and others, Yelu Dashi, who had received a hundred military sticks, slowly recovered as before.
Although he was no longer his son-in-law, Xiao Wuna still thought that he had no way to teach his daughter, which led to Yelu Dashi's suffering and the Liao Dynasty losing hundreds of miles of land in Taizhou and tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, after pondering for more than ten days, Xiao Wuna still came to the door of Yelu Dashi, wanting to go up to greet him, apologize and admit his mistake.
However, Yelu Dashi, who had recovered as before, had taken dozens of people and followed the kings of Qin and Jin
