But in response to Huang Ruifeng's explanation, Huang Qiong said with his hands behind his back: "Even now, you still don't want to tell me the truth, and you are still making up lies to deceive me. How come I don't know that I have any old friends in Beiliao? How come you don't want to tell me the truth?" Can I still meet you in Liaoyang Mansion, in the hinterland of Northern Liao? Tell me the truth about how you got involved with the Queen of Northern Liao. If you can explain it clearly, I might be able to help you. If you The explanation doesn’t make sense, do you believe that I will tell you that you will never see that woman again in the future?”
Huang Qiong's words made Huang Ruifeng hesitate. It wasn't that he was worried that Yi Ying would take revenge on him, but that he was worried that his father would skin him if he knew that he had lied for so many years. Just seeing his father suddenly turning around and staring at him with cold eyes, Huang Ruifeng's heart pounded and he couldn't help but grit his teeth. Anyway, Da Qi has now reached the hinterland of Bei Liao, and Ma Yushan has annihilated more than 100,000 troops of Bei Liao in one fell swoop. Perhaps it won't take long for Da Qi to capture Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo.
Maybe, my father and Aunt Yi will meet each other soon. Therefore, for the sake of Brother Bodhisattva, Huang Ruifeng gritted his teeth and said: "Returning to my father, the old friend of my father that I met in Liaoyang Mansion was none other than Yi Ying, who my father has been looking for. Erchen As soon as he arrived at Liaoyang Mansion, he was recognized by her. He was invited to live in her house for a period of time, semi-forced. At that time, Erchen did not expect that Aunt Yi had such a close relationship with the Northern Liao Emperor and Empress, let alone I will meet Brother Bodhisattva."
Huang Ruifeng's words almost made Huang Qiong angry and vomited blood. After staring at the son kneeling in front of him for a long time, Huang Qiong gritted his teeth: "Very good, you did a good job. You know that I have been looking for that woman for so many years. You have obviously found her, but you have kept it secret from me." Many years. If it weren’t for your Bodhisattva brother, I’m afraid you would still be hiding it from me. You are really my good son and a filial son. Do you know that I am now a coward and will kick you to death? heart."
Seeing that his father was angry, Huang Ruifeng hurriedly said: "Father, my son also knows that it is wrong to deceive my father on this matter. But my father and my son have been hiding it from me all these years, and it is for the sake of my father's consideration." .Father, think about it, if my son had told my father about the whereabouts of Aunt Yi. With my father’s temperament, would he have taken the risk to go to Bei Liao to look for her? If my son had gone, he would have gone out. It doesn’t matter what kind of danger it is. Because the father not only has a son, but also a son. Even if something happens to the son, it won’t affect Daqi.”
"But if my father takes the risk to look for Aunt Yi in Liaoyang Mansion, where will that leave Da Qi? If something happens to my father in Bei Liao, even if my son is cut into pieces, he will not be able to face the world. Father, it is not that the son and ministers deliberately concealed it, but it was actually for the safety of the father. Now Da Qi is in the Northern Expedition and has annihilated more than 100,000 troops from Northern Liao in one fell swoop. It can be said that the overall situation has been basically established. In this case, the father and Yi Yi Auntie, we will meet again sooner or later. Therefore, there is no need for me to hide it anymore."
Regarding Huang Ruifeng's explanation, Huang Qiong just sneered twice. This somewhat cold laughter made Huang Ruifeng feel a little hairy in his heart and at the same time confused for a moment. But what surprised him next was that Huang Qiong, who picked up the paper and started handling government affairs, never mentioned this matter. He didn't even look at Huang Ruifeng. Huang Qiong's attitude made Huang Ruifeng not only not relieved, but also made him feel even more uneasy. Because he, the emperor, knows his temper very well.
The calm in front of us can only foreshadow the bigger storm ahead. The most important thing is that with my emperor's temperament, I don't know when this storm will fall. This made Huang Ruifeng unable to sleep well all night. This is the first time that I am not involved with the woman I love. But it wasn't until the next day that he knew the consequences of his deception. At noon, after he accompanied his emperor and me to handle government affairs, when he hurried back to his room, he found that the beauty had disappeared.
No matter how he asked, the guard outside the door only told him. The Queen of Bei Liao in the house, as well as all the concubines of Bei Liao in Zhongjing City, as well as princesses, princes, clan members, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs have all been sent away this morning in accordance with the imperial edict. As for where it was sent, they didn't know. Looking at the furious Huang Ruifeng, several guards hesitated for a long time and said: "Prince Yong, you'd better go and ask the Emperor. The person who came to ask for someone this morning is Liu Guard. Who else in the capital can do this except the Emperor?" Mobilize Guard Liu?"
With the persuasion of several guards, Huang Ruifeng could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He was still wondering why his emperor, I, had been waiting for him here since there had been no movement since yesterday's incident. Just thinking about today, my emperor's face turned livid. Even if Huang Ruifeng was thinking about the beauty in his heart, how could he really dare to ask? How could I have the courage to touch the tiger's whiskers again and again? No matter how much the tiger takes a nap, he is a tiger after all, and he will really eat people when he is angry.
The next day, Huang Qiong looked at his son who had been a little listless after discovering that the beauty was sent away. Although Huang Qiong ignored her on the surface, in fact, he kept snickering in his heart. This kid thinks that because he didn't get angry on the spot, he can really treat the crime of deceiving the emperor he committed before as if it didn't happen? As an old man, he has always been a vegetarian, so how can he have a beautiful woman in his arms? Let this bastard dry out for a while, and think about how to solve this matter.
What's more, I can also see for myself how this son will choose in the face of beauty and power. Next, Huang Qiong ignored his son who was always distracted. For him, what needs more attention is the battle situation in front of him. Fortunately, Huang Ruifeng was taught by Huang Qiong, even though the woman he loved didn't know where he was. But within the shortest time, it was quickly adjusted. He focused all his energy on military affairs. As for the beloved woman, I can only miss her silently in my heart.
On the third day of Huang Qiong's stay in Zhongjing, he received a battle report from the front. Zhao Wusha, who set out from Yunzhou, concealed his whereabouts along the way and was forcibly taken away by a herdsman. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Liao army was gathered in Zhongjing, preparing for a decisive battle with the Daqi Middle Route Army at Ma Menshan, they secretly entered the capital of Northern Liao Dynasty. He deliberately showed weakness and lured Xiao Pai, the Prince Consort of the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Prime Minister of the Northern Prefecture, to lead his army to stay in Beijing with the main force of 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 Han troops to fight. At the same time, the main force of the Liao Army led by the Liao Emperor was fighting fiercely with the Qi Army's Middle Route Army in Ma Men Mountain.
Zhao Wushu went to Beijing in Beiliao and started a battle with the troops left behind in Beiliao on the east bank of Huangshui River in the west of Shangjing. Zhao Wushu's mission was this before he went on the expedition. Find ways to advance secretly and make a surprise attack on Beijing as much as possible. Strive to seize Shangjing City in one go. In order to cut off the connection between Bei Liao and the desert steppe, Bei Liao was unable to recruit and mobilize troops from the tribes in the desert steppe to participate in the war. But Zhao Wushu knew that although he had a lot of troops, he only had cavalry who were not good at attacking cities.
And because he was of a rushing nature, he only carried twenty-eight five-pound cannons and eight twelve-pound cannons. As for Bei Liao, when he went to Beijing, as far as he knew, the city was strong and the pond was deep. If you attack forcefully, it will do you all harm but no good. Therefore, after entering Raozhou, he sent profitable men to secretly sneak between Shangjing City and Zhongjing City to intercept and kill the messengers between the two places. As for himself, he made a big fanfare and openly lured the Liao army to Beijing to fight. After the Liao emperor went south to Beijing, Xiao Liushou, who was the prime minister of the northern government and stayed in Beijing.
Because he sent troops to Goryeo twice and achieved great victories both times, he called himself a famous general in Northern Liao. Seeing that the Qi army only dared to use less than 10,000 cavalry, they dared to show off their power in front of him. How can we really endure it? Five thousand Han troops were left to guard the city, while he led the rest of the remaining troops to mobilize. Unexpectedly, Zhao Wushu ambushed him on the north bank of Huangshui River. Zhao Wuhu used 30,000 cavalry to adopt the tactics of beheading, blocking the waist, and cutting off the tail. He first used the innate impact power of all his heavy cavalry to defeat the 20,000 Han troops who were lagging behind.
Then they attacked in three groups and surrounded the 10,000 cavalry led by Xiao Pai at the confluence of Huangshui River and its tributaries. Immediately under the cover of artillery, taking advantage of the inherent advantage of heavy cavalry over light cavalry, after eight hours of hard fighting, all the 10,000 cavalrymen in Beiliao, starting from Xiao Platoon and down, were killed. Immediately, Zhao Wuye sent 3,000 troops and horses, stripped off the leather armor and felt helmets of the Liao army who died in the battle, and replaced them with captured Liao army horses. He also personally led the troops, pretended to be defeated, and pretended to be defeated, so he drove up to the west gate of Beijing and swarmed in. After defeating the Han army defending the city, they occupied the entire Shangjing.
Captured the second son of the emperor who stayed in Shangjing in the Northern Liao Dynasty, more than 300 princes, nobles, civil and military ministers below King Yelu Chongyuan of Qin, and rounded up more than 300 people including the concubine Yuan of the Northern Liao Dynasty, the concubines and concubines of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the prince of the Northern Liao Dynasty. There are more than twenty concubines. When this memorial was reported, it was the second day after Zhao Wushu captured Shangjing. That was the time for the decisive battle at Ma Menshan. When this document was delivered, it was detoured in order to avoid the main force of the Northern Liao army in Zhongjing Prefecture. It was only now that I was delaying, and I was able to send this note over.
In other words, Zhao Wuye has not yet reported whether Yelu Longxu and Yelu Zongzhen escaped to Shangjing City. Shangjing City was the first capital city built by the Northern Liao Dynasty in Zhaoxing. In the eyes of the Khitan people, it is not just a capital city, it is equivalent to a holy place in the hearts of all Khitan people, especially the Yelu tribe. Taking Shangjing City is equivalent to destroying the sacred and unattainable holy place in the hearts of everyone in Beiliao. And with the change of hands in Shangjing City, the entire Northern Liao royal family was basically wiped out in one fell swoop.
It can now be said that, except for the Northern Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu and the Prince Yelu Zongzhen, all members of the Northern Liao royal family either died in battle or were captured by the Qi army. The most important thing is that taking the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Northern Liao Dynasty, the Khitan's homeland, and the desert. Even if Yelu Longxu is still unconvinced, he will no longer be able to return to Huangshui, the fundamental place where the Khitan people started. But as long as they can't capture or get rid of the father and son. Even if more Liao troops are eliminated, what's the use?
Victory on the battlefield is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. Next, facing the remaining forces of Beiliao, the cat and mouse game played is the top priority. For the nomadic tribes on the desert grasslands, Huang Qiong has made up his mind to promote the alliance flag system on a large scale. But the premise is to get rid of the die-hard elements among them. Beiliao is in the hinterland of the plateau, and there is also the Northwest Unified Army Division. There are also 20,000 elite cavalry in Ketun City. According to Beiliao's customization, the 20,000 elite cavalry mainly face the tribes, and they are not allowed to be transferred back even if the country falls.
There is also the Tokyo Road in Beiliao, tens of thousands of troops, and civilians who can be adjusted at any time. These are all matters that need to be resolved later. As for Yang Jiyuan, who originally planned to cross the sea and attack Tokyo Road, there has been no news yet. I don’t know what the situation is like over there.
