In the mountains east of Niangziguan, there was a ray of fire like stars in the Youzhou Army camp.
Xiao Siwen stared at the night sky in a daze, but she still didn't feel lively at this time, because except for the winding military camps in the mountains, the large mountain was pitch black and almost uninhabited.
He looked west, and there was a whistling mountain wind in the middle of the night, but he could not see anything; but the scout from yesterday extended the message, and there was a large number of Zhou Jun in front of him.
At this moment, Xiao Siwen had the intuition that he was about to trek into the desert, about to approach the town of the oasis, but could no longer move forward.
The shaking bonfire shone on Xiao Abudi's face. The fire was bright but weak, and the distance and near were obvious, forming a sense of layering.
His face was very clear towards the fire, with clear edges and corners. There was dirt and dark mud between the frost texture of his skin, and grass on his chaotic shallow beard; but the place slightly away from the fire was dim and blurry, and it was not clear to see clearly. If you were far away, you could only see a dark shadow.
Xiao Abudi shook his head and made a helpless expression: I remembered something. A brother in the tribe said that there was a tiger in the nearby mountain and he made an appointment to go hunting together the next morning.But when I got up the next day and prepared to go out, I met the brother; but he told me that he had beaten to death and carried it back...
The few people sitting by the fire wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh, and immediately looked at each other.
Someone said in a deep voice: I heard that Blacksmith Guo is a monster.It's terrifying to think about the many headless corpses left behind in the Battle of Zhuozhou...
After hearing this, Xiao Siwen suddenly felt a gust of cold wind rushing on his face, and his body almost shivered.
When I listened again, I couldn't see the sound of the black shadow in the mountain. The sound of the whimpering sound was as if there was a monster chirping in the mountains.
He immediately said: Only a fool who has no knowledge believes in this nonsense, and the blacksmith Guo is just a human being.
Everyone sitting next to Youzhou was a status-based person, and after hearing this, they nodded and said yes.
Xiao Siwen said: But this person should not be underestimated... He immediately remembered the Battle of Zhuozhou and the incredible sudden fall of Jinyang. He continued, he was probably a powerful figure who only appeared in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Once such a person appeared, he now took power again, and it would definitely turn over. It is time for the entire Khitan tribe to raise the greatest vigilance.
Xiao Ah said in a daze: Is it really that powerful?
Xiao Siwen frowned and said: Everything you do is something that ordinary people cannot imagine. Just like now, who can conquer Jinyang, which is heavily defended in half a month?We haven't even thought about it.
yes.That's... Everyone agreed in Khitan language.
Xiao Siwen pondered for a long time, as if he saw a group of wild beasts on the grassland surrounding a leader. He felt that Guo Shao was the leader among the Han people.
There are many Han people, and there are all kinds of people. Every time, there will always be an extraordinary person occasionally.
Order to withdraw troops tomorrow.Xiao Siwen looked back and said, Jinyang has been lost now, and the Northern Han Kingdom has no chance of competition. We must make preparations early and prepare to protect Youzhou!
A general frowned and said: The king thinks that the blacksmith of Guo is going to be prepared to attack Youzhou?
Xiao Siwen nodded vigorously: Northern Han is a small country, but not a weak country. Guo’s blacksmith took it like taking something out of his pocket, and he will definitely be more confident!In addition, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have always been the scars of the Central Plains, and recovery is also their greatest wish. Guo Blacksmith will definitely think about this place day and night!
Xiao Siwen frowned and said seriously: The Liao Dynasty must do its best to protect Youzhou, and Youzhou is also crucial to the Liao Dynasty.
First of all, the Sixteen Prefectures in Youyun have warmer climates and fertile lands than on the grasslands, providing the Liao Dynasty with a large amount of food and salt, tea, cloth, utensils, etc. Without this, the Liao Dynasty will have a shortage of materials, which will trigger turmoil.
Secondly, Hedong has been lost, and the Land of Youyun is the only outpost for the Liao Dynasty to enter the Central Plains. Once Youzhou is lost, the offense and defense will be more stable and will have an extremely long-term impact.
The grassland will lose its active advantage over the Central Plains and will easily be at a disadvantage.
There are also some reasons. Some Khitan nobles were too arrogant and unwilling to admit it, but all the knowledgeable people accepted it; otherwise the Liao Dynasty would not appoint Han officials to change the official system, and there would not be a South City for Han people to live in the capital.The Central Plains surpassed all ethnic groups in many places such as rules and regulations, craftsmanship skills. We have Youzhou, which not only can use the Han people in Youzhou, but also open up easier contacts with the Central Plains, making it convenient for the Great Liao to learn from the Central Plains.
Xiao Siwen looked back and the generals looked a little confused.He didn't care. In this world, people with true insight and wisdom are not everywhere!
But he firmly believed in his own insights and now he was determined: Anyone with public aspirations should recognize it, Youzhou is extremely important!It is worthy of the whole country's efforts to maintain!
Abudi looked at him with a respectful look and complained: The king is devoted to the country, and others may not be grateful to you.
Xiao Siwen stared at Abudi's face and said seriously: We are Khitans and nobles of the Liao Dynasty. This matter is related to the fate of the country!How can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest?
Xiao Siwen not only thought about the future of the Liao Kingdom, but also his own... How can people not consider themselves?
But some things can be said gloriously on the table, such as worrying about the country; some things cannot be said, they can only think about them.
The first thing he thought of was the threat he threatened to him by the Emperor Yelu Jing of Liao.
Xiao Siwen and Yelu Jing had objective contradictions, which is why Yelu Jing often sent people to observe him.
The emperor did not dare to touch him casually, and the conflict had not yet intensified.
However, Xiao Siwen had to consider: he was the king of the South Court and the highest person in charge of the Youyun area. If he really lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, Yelu Jing would definitely take the opportunity to get rid of himself in a legitimate way!
The fundamental contradiction between Xiao Siwen and Yelu Jing is the faction problem of the previous generation and the faction.
The resentment between the eldest son of Liao Yizong (who did not actually ascend the throne and posthumously named the emperor) and the second son of Liao Taizong, the two major factions, is the root of the faction and chaos in the Liao Kingdom today.
Xiao Siwen belongs to the Xiao family. The Xiao family is not the royal family of the Liao country, but it is the most important aristocratic surname of the Liao country.
It is a marriage family designated by the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, and it is the family of the prime ministers of the Liao Kingdom; all the prime ministers in the North Court of Shangjing were surnamed Xiao.
The Xiao family and the Yelu family were mainly in alliance, and the Xiao family itself had little conflict with the faction of the Yelu family.But it is inevitable that it will be involved in the specific person, so Xiao Siwen is inseparable from this.
His uncle served as the prime minister of the Liao Kingdom during the reign of Taizu, and was on the side of the Liao Yizong, the eldest son of Liao Taizu... Later, Taizong's descendants and the descendants of Yizong repeatedly competed for power, and Xiao Siwen was trapped in it; now, Yelu Jing, who was on the throne, was the eldest son of Liao Taizong, and Xiao Siwen's factional position (Yizong) was obviously questioned.
In order to show his position and ease the conflict, Xiao Siwen married his eldest daughter Xiao Hunian to the current emperor's younger brother, King Taiping; and in an attitude of not participating in the Yelu family's power struggle, he then married his second daughter to the younger brother of King Zhao of Yelu Xian (the grandson of Yizong) as a balance... But this move intensified the current emperor's reassurance towards him.
He still has a daughter who has not married and has not yet grown up.Her name is Xiao Chuo, and her small name is YànYàn.
Xiao Siwen knew that after betting on both sides, he established his position with a marriage, but did not intensify the conflict... But once a major incident happened, with Yelu Jing's suspicion and violence, he would be very dangerous.
He pondered for a long time, rubbed his chin with his hand for a while, and sighed alas.
……
The good news has spread to Tokyo, and there are not many celebrations in the world in Tokyo because the emperor is still on the front line.
However, the congratulations of the court and the enthusiastic discussions in the government are the changes brought about by victory.
There are also circulating in the market. After all, Jinyang is not far from Tokyo, and it is a famous place that has posed a huge threat to Tokyo for many years, and the people are also very concerned about this matter.
Dragon City has the greatest influence on Tokyo; in the past, people from Dragon City wanted to enter the Central Plains, they were to come to Tokyo.
Half Moon Dragon City!On the wooden building in the tea shop, a round-bellied man said this sentence in a very strong tone, with all kinds of strong emotions in his tone.
Another man put down the nuts in his hand and said: In addition to the Longcheng under the half moon, he will destroy the entire Shu Kingdom for two months and the entire Southern Tang Dynasty for several months!It is said that since the beginning of the battle, he has never been defeated!The ancient god of war is just like this...
The man with round belly said: Today, he is almost the same as the God of War in the Imperial Guard.
strange!The man frowned and shook his head. Have you ever thought that today may not be an ordinary person, but a reincarnation of a god?
The faces of the few people present immediately showed awe and mysterious expressions.
Everyone has never seen ghosts and gods with their own eyes, but no one has forced them to not believe in ghosts and gods. Even the sacrifices on various occasions and Taoist priests in their funerals do not deny the existence of gods.
Almost everyone has the idea of having a god in their hearts, but it is better to believe that they are not trustless than to believe that they are not.
The round-bellied man seems to have practiced martial arts and is more familiar with military affairs.
(The fat men at this time were all from wealthy families, otherwise they would not be able to gain weight; families from wealthy families all love to practice martial arts.) He pondered: I heard that when he was still an imperial guard general, he became famous and shot Zhang Yuanhui, the most powerful general in the Northern Han Dynasty, with one arrow.Now the best shot is good at shooting, which can draw a giant bow of twelve stones and shoot leaves three hundred steps away!
Everyone stared at him with wide eyes, but no one didn't believe it.
Everyone didn't even know what the twelve stone bow looked like, but the fact that shooting the opponent's famous generals with one arrow in the army was very magical and important in everyone's eyes!
The round-bellied man said in a deep voice: Ordinary people are not so good at shooting. Will Houyi be reincarnated today?
Ah!Everyone was in an uproar.The people from the four tea shops were attracted by their attention and looked at each other, and some simply came around to listen curiously.
A person on the throne said: Houyi can shoot nine suns down.
The round-bellied man said disapprovingly: Houyi was originally a god of war, and of course the true god is even more powerful.Today, the true god has reincarnated and enrolled in the mortal world. How can he still have all his magic power?
When everyone heard this, they felt it was reasonable and nodded and agreed: It was reasonable.It makes sense...
Xiao Siwen stared at the night sky in a daze, but she still didn't feel lively at this time, because except for the winding military camps in the mountains, the large mountain was pitch black and almost uninhabited.
He looked west, and there was a whistling mountain wind in the middle of the night, but he could not see anything; but the scout from yesterday extended the message, and there was a large number of Zhou Jun in front of him.
