Under the secluded canyon, a carriage that had been crushed and deformed by a boulder was smashed open by two soldiers, and the general on horseback angrily scolded the two people in the carriage in tatters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"To do such an unbearable thing in broad daylight." The general said angrily.
"The general is angry, it was Cui Jie who insulted Hongyu, and I am not to blame for this! The general ...... "Red rain wept and wailed.
"General! Little guilty, please spare the general! Cui Jie knelt down and kowtowed to the general and begged for mercy.
"What's going on with Jin Bing? There were two fish that slipped through the net. The general said angrily.
When the soldiers next to him saw that the general was furious, they were all trembling with fright and looked down at the ground.
"Take these two out of the canyon, and I'm going to interrogate them myself." Will be angry ordered.
The soldiers took Hongyu and Cui Jie out of the canyon, the two were disheveled, Hongyu's hair was messy, and the escorted soldiers touched Hongyu's body a few times from time to time, and Hongyu trembled with fright.
Hongyu and Cui Jie were taken to the military tent, and the general ordered everyone to retire.
"Cui Jie, let me ask you, what did you see about the attack on our army three days ago?" The general asked.
"Back to the general, the little one was trapped in the carriage as soon as he got into the carriage, and he didn't dare to look out the window when he heard the fight outside, and he hoped that the general would forgive his sins." Cui Jie trembled with fright and knelt on the ground to answer.
"You kid is a talent, I thought you were dead, and I thought it was a pity." The general said with a smile.
"Why did the general say this!" Cui Jie was confused by the general's words.
"Take a good look at who I am? Hahahaha......" the general laughed.
Cui Jie looked at the general carefully. "Could it be the second master?" Cui Jie said in astonishment.
"That's right, it's me, Yelu Hongliang." The general said.
Yelu Hongliang is the twin brother of Yelu Hongtao, a general who was beheaded by Jin Bing. Yelu Hongliang looks more domineering and more deterrent than Yelu Hongtao.
Hongyu listened to their conversation on the sidelines, and felt that something big was not good; Recalling the sentence Yelu Hongliang said when he was in the canyon, "What happened to Jin Bing? There were two fish that slipped through the net", Hongyu concluded that Yelu Hongtao was dead, and Yelu Hongliang was killed by colluding with Jin Bing. Now that Yelu Hongliang has told the truth in front of him, he may kill himself.
"Is this woman my brother's girl?" Yelu Hongliang said to Cui Jie.
"Yes, General! This woman is a woman picked up by the uncle, and she has been serving the uncle for many days. Cui Jie knelt on the ground and said.
"Oh? Do you dare to go to my brother's woman? Yelu Hongliang said.
"Second master spare his life! The second master spares his life! The little one is impulsive, please spare the little dog's life! Cui Jie begged Yelu Hongliang.
"Spare you, your life will be deposited with me first." Yelu Hongliang said to Cui Jie.
"Second Master Xie! Xie Erye! The little one is willing to make cattle and horses for the second master. Cui Jie knelt down and kowtowed to Yelu Hongliang.
"Cui Jie, I'll let you be my military advisor, are you willing?" Yelu Hongliang said in a commanding tone.
Cui Jie was stunned for a moment. "The little ones are all arranged by the general." Cui Jie kowtowed to Yelu Hongliang again.
"Get up, I don't need to tell you what to say and do, do I?" Yelu Hongliang said arrogantly.
"The little one knows how to do it, and will never say half a word." Cui Jie stood up and said humbly.
"Do you like this woman?" Yelu Hongliang said to Cui Jie.
"The little ones don't dare!" Cui Jie bent down and bowed to Yelu Hongliang.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you, take it away." Yelu Hongliang said.
When Cui Jie heard this, he was overjoyed; Since the first time he saw Hongyu, Cui Jie has been fascinated by Hongyu's beauty, Cui Jie has always had a crush on Hongyu, and now with Yelu Hongliang in charge, Hongyu is his own.
Yelu Hongliang led the army into Jin, at this time Jin was still a very small country, but the grain and grass reserves were sufficient, the army was united, Yelu Hongliang looked at the fertile land of Jin, animal husbandry was so developed, and he couldn't help but sigh that his country was declining.
The king of the Jin Kingdom Wanyan Min entertained Yelu Hongliang with great hospitality, and held a banquet to kill cattle and sheep; Yelu Hongliang led his soldiers to eat and drink in Jin Guohao for three days and three nights.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Wan Yanmin came to Yelu Hongliang's tent.
"Is General Yelu still satisfied with his own cuisine?" Wan Yan Min and Yelu Hongliang sat opposite each other.
"Your Majesty's hospitality, how can the last general be dissatisfied!" Yelu Hongliang raised his hand and saluted.
"The general is modest, the word "general" is really not worthy of the general, the general is magnificent, and he should be listed as a general." Wan Yanmin raised his arm and waved to Yelu Hongliang and said.
"Your Majesty laughed shamefully! Before the position of the general, please don't call your majesty like this, if you are heard, it will be troublesome. Yelu Hongliang said.
"General rest assured, no one in my Dajin land dares to eavesdrop on the general." Wan Yanmin said.
"Your Majesty! Let's stop beating around the bush and get down to business. Yelu Hongliang said to Wan Yanmin.
"The general is really a rectum, so it's okay, then the king is not welcome." Wan Yanmin said.
"Your Majesty has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Yelu Hongliang said.
"A few days ago, I received a letter from the general, my Jin soldiers have eliminated Yelu Hongtao who came to attack the city, the general is so righteous, all the people of my Jin country are grateful." Wan Yanmin got up and bowed to Yelu Hongliang.
"Your Majesty must not perform this great gift." Yelu Hongliang helped Wan Yanmin up.
"General, the recent situation of the Liao State is not optimistic, and the general will return to the position of a general, which is inevitably a bit condescending, right?" Wan Yanmin said.
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Yelu Hongliang asked knowingly.
"The general should ascend to the throne, so that he can form an alliance with my Dajin Yong and fight against the Mongols together." Wan Yanmin said.
Yelu Hongliang stood up slightly, "Your Majesty! The matter of enthronement ......" Yelu Hongliang was interrupted by Wan Yan Min before he could finish speaking.
"The general doesn't have to worry, I will help the general ascend to the throne, isn't what I have to do now is to let the general establish his prestige in front of the people?" Wan Yanmin said.
"It's not easy to establish prestige, my eldest brother has more prestige than me in Liao, and as soon as my eldest brother dies, now I can only let the princess that Empress Dowager Xiao sent someone to find take the throne." Yelu Hongliang said lamentingly.
"It's easy to establish prestige, the general can report to the Empress Dowager Xiao when he returns to China, Yelu Hongtao went out unfavorably and died under the Jin soldiers and horses, as a backup, you will return to Beijing to report." Wan Yanmin said.
"Haven't I become a deserter? My eldest brother was killed, and I went back to report defeat as my younger brother? Not to mention prestige, I'm afraid I will be drowned by the spittle of the people of Liao! Yelu Hongliang said.
"Don't worry, general, I'm not done yet." Li Yuanhao cleared his throat. "A few days after the general returns to the dynasty, our country will send troops to conquer the Liao State, with the current trend of the Liao State, I am afraid that there are few generals who can confront my Jin soldiers, when all the generals are defeated, the general petitions to go to our army, and I order the Jin soldiers to defeat the general; In this way, the prestige of the general will not be established. Wan Yanmin said.
"It's so good, it's just that Your Majesty is so **** and hurts money just to establish prestige for Hongliang? What are Your Majesty's conditions? Yelu Hongliang asked Yan Min.
"Conditions...... That is, after the general ascends the throne, he will cede one-third of the land and give me a large amount of gold, so that you and I can join forces to fight against Mongolia in the north and various vassal states in the south. Wan Yanmin said.
When Yelu Hongliang heard that he was going to cut one-third of the land to Yan Min, he felt a little unhappy, even if Yelu Hongliang was unscrupulous, he just wanted to be the emperor, but in fact, Yelu Hongliang still had a patriotic heart in his conscience. But if you don't agree to finish Yan Min now, then you won't be able to establish your prestige in Liao, and you have no hope of becoming an emperor.
"Okay, just your majesty! Hongliang will leave for China today, just waiting for His Majesty's good news! Yelu Hongliang saluted Wan Yan Min.
Yelu Hongliang took 3,000 soldiers back to Shangjing in Liao to report the news of the defeat to the Empress Dowager Xiao, who was furious and removed Yelu Hongliang from his post as a general and ordered him to stay at home.
Yelu Hongliang was not idle at home, and discussed with Cui Jie all day long how to deal with foreign enemies.
"Wan Yan Min's words cannot be fully believed, if he sets a trap to deceive me and does not retreat when attacking the city, then my Liao Kingdom will be destroyed." Yelu Hongliang said to Cui Jie.
"The general is right, Wan Yanmin won't be so stupid, don't let go of the entire territory of Daliao, but ask for that third?" Cui Jie came up with an idea on the side.
"If the Great Liao falls, then I will be a sinner!" Yelu Hongliang stood up and lamented.
"Can the general think of a way back?" Cui Jie said to Yelu Hongliang.
"What's the way back! Now I really regret killing my big brother! If Jin Bing comes to attack, only my eldest brother can have this ability to fight, don't look at my usual majesty is even more powerful than my eldest brother, it is all pretended by me. Yelu Hongliang sighed.
When Cui Jie heard this, it turned out that Yelu Hongliang had no way back, so didn't he follow him to death! I was thinking about how to get out in my heart.
Yelu Hongliang's heart was very chaotic at this time, the original purpose of getting rid of the eldest brother was to ascend the throne and become the emperor, but all the plans were in vain, not only the emperor may not be able to do it, but he may also become a sinner who destroys the country. Thinking of this, Yelu Hongliang could only pray that Yan Min's promise to him was true.
It is said that Hongyu, who was brought back to Beijing by Cui Jie, became Cui Jie's concubine; Cui Jie said that he liked Red Rain, but in fact, he was just greedy for Red Rain's beauty and did not treat Red Rain well.
Hongyu learned about Yelu Hongliang's worries from Cui Jie's conversation, and thought about how to get rid of Cui Jie. Although Hongyu is a young woman, she has a very flexible mind who loves to read since she was a child; She originally wanted to take advantage of Yelu Hongtao to sit on the general's wife, but she didn't know that fate tricked her into the name of Cui Jie's concubine, if Cui Jie treated herself well, now Cui Jie abuses Hongyu every day when he goes home, and waits until he sleeps at night to serve him, which is completely incommensurate with her imaginary rich life. Originally, it was the work that the next person should do, but Cui Jie let himself do it, and he didn't enjoy the good life for a day.
On this day, Yelu Hongliang passed Cui Jie to discuss matters, and Hongyu secretly followed Cui Jie to Yelu Hongliang's mansion. Since Yelu Hongliang is now demoted to a commoner, there are no officers and soldiers outside the mansion, so Hongyu quietly slipped into the gate and walked outside the door of Yelu Hongliang and Cui Jie's room to eavesdrop on their conversation.
