Chapter 1042 Fight to the Death, Still Begging for Peace
Before he could finish speaking, the curtain of the sweat tent was suddenly lifted.
The third prince Yelu Jinshan, and the sixth prince Yelu Siguang came unannounced.
Hurriedly bowed and saluted, Yelu Jinshan's face was pale, and he said in a panic: "Father Khan, the ninth sister sent a messenger to send a letter from Chang'an, something is wrong. ”
After speaking, he stepped forward and presented the letter to Yeluyao.
Something is wrong?
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other.
Surprised and delighted.
The ninth princess is the imperial concubine of the Tang Dynasty, and a letter was sent from Qian Chang'an, which definitely clarified the attitude of Yang Yue and the Tang courtiers towards the Khitan.
However, Yelu Jinshan suddenly claimed that something big had happened, could it be that Yang Yue insisted on crusading against the Khitan.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the letter in Yeluyao's hand.
One by one, they eagerly wanted to know what was written in the letter sent by the Ninth Princess.
On the throne of Khan, Yelu Yao took the letter, opened it and read it quickly.
Suddenly, with a bang, Yelu Yao's broad palm seemed to lose control and fell sharply on the desk, making a dull sound.
His face was pale as frost, his arms trembled slightly, and he was sweating like rain.
Seeing Yeluyao's frightened expression, the generals became suspicious, and they became more and more suspicious of what was reported in the letter, which made the king of Khan so frightened and panicked!
"Father Khan, what did the ninth sister say in the letter?"
The eldest prince, Yeluqing, asked sideways, deeply anxious.
Hearing this, Yeluyao came back to his senses, picked up the letter with trembling arms and continued to read, and in an instant, the sweat tent fell into a long silence again.
After a long time, Yelu Yao's broad palm landed on the desk and murmured: "It's over, it's completely over..."
The generals are well aware of the ability of their own khan, unlike Argus who dominates the steppe, he is still a hero and has experienced many dangers.
I have long been unfazed and not afraid of danger, why did I suddenly become panicked today.
The generals didn't know what they meant, and Yeluqing rushed to the desk, picked up the letter and read it quickly.
Movol, Attila, Murong Xiu, and Yelu Purong all gathered around, wanting to find out.
However, when the people read the contents of the letters, they were speechless, similar to Yeluyao, and fell into silence.
After a while, Yelu Purong put his iron fist on the pillar in the tent, his face was blue, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "How can this fool King Zuogu Li, be so reckless, even if he has a disagreement with Yang Yue and has murderous intentions, he can't take risks and assassinate in the palace."
Now Yang Yue is in a big disaster, and he sent elite soldiers to retaliate, no wonder outside Youzhou City, more than 100,000 Tang troops came to kill. ”
Yelu Puhua's assassination of Yang Yue is simply the most stupid plan.
What's more, the assassination has not yet been successful.
"Alas, it's a pity!"
Movol looked up and sighed, not knowing whether he was sorry for Yelu Puhua's failure to assassinate him and put his life on the line, or whether he was entangled in the precarious situation of the Khitan.
Assassinating the emperor, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, should be cut by a thousand knives and executed by Ling Chi.
Now Yang Yue is thundering and angry, Tang Jiang is indignant and annoyed, Zhang Xuanheng, Luo Shishang, and Guo Xiaoqi led the army to kill, I am afraid that the new accounts and old accounts will be settled together.
Don't give the Khitan a chance to breathe.
Attila, Murong Xiu, and Yeluqing were also worried, complaining that Yelupuhua was willful, regardless of the life and death of the Khitan, and regretted that Yelupuhua had failed and took his life in vain.
For a while, the atmosphere in the sweat tent was extremely dull, and everyone was at a loss, and suddenly Yelu Yao's loud voice sounded: "The matter has come to this, if there is a war, reorganize the army and horses as soon as possible, and if it falls, it is necessary to send a messenger to the south to beg for peace." ”
The Tang army is too strong, and it has just experienced the baptism of war, and the whole army is vigorous, if it competes with it, the Khitan has no power to parry.
Within the Khitan, there must have been tribal leaders who were panicked and did not dare to fight the Tang army.
If the Khitan could not unite sincerely and resist the Tang army together, the speed of defeat would be faster.
At that time, there will be corpses all over the place, and blood will flow into the water!
If he begs to surrender and leads the army to surrender, the Khitan invades the Tang Dynasty first, Yelu Puhua assassinates Yang Yue later, Zhang Xuanheng, Guo Xiaoqi, Luo Shishang, whether they are willing to allow the Khitan to surrender is still unpredictable.
"Father Khan, Yan Marching, Wen Boyan's ending is vivid, the sons and daughters ask for battle, and they must not beg and surrender!" Yelu Jinshan stepped forward and said with a fist in a sonorous voice.
He became famous at a young age and was a Khitan tiger general.
Since that year in Pinglu and Dandong, he was defeated by Yang Yue one after another, and even suffered capture by the Tang army.
Over the years, he has always lived in the shadow of Yang Yue, and over the years, he has never forgotten the oath of the year.
Now the Tang army is coming violently, no matter how bad the Khitan situation is, no matter how the generals choose, he will never surrender to Yang Yue and be a vassal.
Blood-stained battlefields are also not hesitated.
"That's right, the ninth sister said in the letter that Uncle Wang openly assassinated Yang Yue, but seeing is believing and hearing is false, and you must not believe the words of the family, and maybe Yang Yue designed to kill Uncle Wang and openly blame him?" The eldest prince Yeluqing said categorically: "If you lead the army to beg for peace and surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xuanheng's three generals will kill innocents, wouldn't they be self-defeating?" ”
The battle will be lost!
There is hardly any suspense.
However, judging from Yang Yue's attitude towards Yi Ran, Yan Xingjun, and Wen Boyan, he will inevitably not treat the Khitan royal family well.
What's more, if he surrenders to the Tang army, he will be reduced to a prisoner, if he insists on fighting hard, no matter how difficult the situation is, he will still be the Khitan prince and enjoy glory and wealth.
Instead of being submissive and living in panic all day long, it is better to gather troops to fight to the death, if the horse leather shrouds and dies on the battlefield, it can also be regarded as loyal to the Khitan, and if it is lucky to win, the Khitan will still continue to be strong.
"Big brother, third brother, the Tang army is in full swing, almost invincible, if you fight, you will definitely lose!" The sixth prince Yelu Siguang said, his eyes swept the generals in the tent and said: "Don't forget, in addition to Zhang Xuanheng, Guo Xiaoqi, Luo Shishang led the army, the Tang Dynasty Zhao King sits in the northeast, there are still many fierce generals beside him, Lin Kaiyue, Yuan Mingsha led the army deep into the Turkic hinterland, if there is a war in the Song Desert area, they will definitely kill from the north of the grassland, there are strong enemies on three sides, except for begging for peace, the tribe has no way out." ”
Over the years, Yelu Siguang has often studied the systems and customs of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to learn from the Tang Dynasty and strengthen the comprehensive strength of the Khitan.
Now that the Tang army is coming, the Khitan can no longer break the situation, and fighting to the end will bring the Khitan to the point of no return.
Hearing the sound, Yelu Qing, Yelu Jinshan did not pay attention to Yelu Siguang, his eyes turned to Yelu Yao, and then looked at the generals in the tent.
No matter how they choose, in the Khitan, it is Yelu Yao who can really make a decision.
The only one who can change Yeluyao's mind is the four generals of Attila.
"King Khan, the last general proposes to fight to the death!" In silence, Attila said.
War?
Yelu Qing, Yelu Jinshan heard the sound, clenched his iron fist, sincerely happy, and Yelu Siguang shook his head slightly, quite disappointed.
When Yelu Yao heard this, he looked up.
Attila got up and walked out of the ranks, walked to the front of the marching map and said: "The wolf cavalry will definitely lose when fighting against the Tang army, in order to increase the chances of victory of the tribe, we must use foreign aid to fight with the tribe and jointly resist the Tang army." ”
"General Attila, are you talking nonsense?" Yelu Siguang asked in surprise: "The Bohai Sea is destroyed, the Tubo is destroyed, the Turks are almost destroyed, and there are no strong enemies near the Khitan except for the Tang Dynasty." There is no force that threatens the tribe, and there is no force that can rush to the aid of the tribe. ”
"Yes, Attila, I would have supported the fight to the death, but looking for foreign aid is too unbelievable!" Movol Road.
Unexpectedly, Attila chuckled: "That's right, there is no strong near the Khitan, but the Sassanid infantry phalanx has already killed the Tianshan region, if the tribe insists on fighting the Tang army to the death, why not ask them for help?" ”
"Sasanian?"
When the generals heard this, they suddenly remembered Sassanid in the far west.
However, far water can't quench the thirst of the near!
"Sasanian?"
"Attila, are you kidding? The Sassanid general Anthony once personally went to Chang'an and formed an alliance with Yang Yue in the palace. Without Sasanian, it would be impossible for the Tang Dynasty to easily survive the disaster year, without Anthony leading the troops to contain King Hutu and King Hun on the Western Front, it would be impossible for Yiran to be defeated, and the Turkic Right Xian King and Right Valley Li King who were far away in the west would not be easily defeated!
Let Anthony lead the army to attack the Tang and rush to the aid of the Khitan, it is almost impossible! Jerus said sarcastically with a look of disdain on his face.
