Jiang Hongfei wants to take Xiao Puxian's daughter as his concubine? ! ! !

When he first heard Wu Yong put forward this extremely rude condition, even a good-tempered Xiao Rong couldn't help but get angry!

Letting the supreme leader of your own country marry another power lord is extremely rude and can even be said to be humiliating!

What's more, Jiang Hongfei is not marrying Xiao Puxian's daughter as his wife, but wants Xiao Puxian's daughter as his concubine!

Moreover, don't forget that Yelu Chun, the previous emperor of Northern Liao Dynasty, died not long ago, and it would be hard to describe him as "the bones are not yet cold"!

Under such circumstances, Jiang Hongfei's decision to take Xiao Puxian's daughter as his concubine is simply the greatest insult to Xiao Puxian's daughter and the greatest insult to their Bei Liao family!

The Lord humiliated his minister to death, and there was unconcealable anger in Xiao Rong's voice: "Master Wu, do you know what you mean by these words? You are insulting Daliao and the Queen Mother of my family. Although my family is no longer what it used to be, why? Are you so insulted?"

Wu Yong, however, didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he showed a matter-of-fact expression: "Ambassador Xiao, you don't have to be like this. I've already told you the truth. If your family and I can become one family, the hatred imposed on your family by the Jurchens will , you will have the opportunity to return it, and the people will not have to suffer misfortune. Otherwise, your family will undoubtedly perish. "

After a pause, Wu Yong added: "I won't tell you some truths, but you should be able to figure it out. As the Duke of my family, what kind of stunning beauty do you want? Why do I have to take your Queen Mother as my concubine? So this condition is all for our family to be better integrated. Just imagine, if my father-in-law adopts your family as the queen mother, you will be more willing to serve your family without worrying about my family. Will you kill the donkey?"

As soon as Wu Yong said this, Xiao Rong and Han Fang couldn't help but be startled, and then fell into deep thought.

Both Xiao Rong and Han Fang understood that the current situation did not allow them to be impulsive. They must think calmly and find countermeasures.

Moreover, regardless of the fact that Jiang Hongfei Junchen was insulting Bei Liao, looking at Jiang Hongfei Junchen's proposal, this seems to be a good solution.

"Commander Wu, I understand what you said." Xiao Rong took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions. "You mean that we should sacrifice the dignity and status of my Queen Mother for the benefit of the country. However, you Have you ever thought that such behavior is not only the greatest insult to my Queen Mother, but also the greatest insult to our Liao subjects? "

Wu Yong smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about the anger that could not be concealed in Xiao Rong's tone:

"Ambassador Xiao, you and I both understand that in this world, only the strong can survive. The Jurchens' iron hoofs have trampled through most of your Liao Empire, leaving only the corner of Yanjing. Your Liao Dynasty is already in a precarious state. It has even become history. The conditions we proposed are to save you, not to insult you.”

Xiao Rong retorted: "Save us? What you mean by saving is to make us give up our dignity and become your vassals? Military Master Wu, you are wrong. We, the descendants of Changshengtian, would rather die on the battlefield than do anything Make such a choice!”

Wu Yong shook his head, seeming to feel helpless at Xiao Rong's stubbornness: "Ambassador Xiao, you are wrong. In this world of the jungle, only by surviving can there be hope. You Daliao no longer have the power to resist the Jurchens. If you don’t accept our terms, then only destruction awaits you.”

Xiao Rong was silent. He understood that Wu Yong's words made sense, but he could not accept such conditions.

At this time, Han Fang took over and said: "Master Wu, I know that you are very eloquent and eloquent. However, the conditions proposed by your family are too harsh for us to accept. I, Daliao Although the country is in decline now, we, the Queen Mother, are the leader of a country and are extremely noble. What's more, if this matter spreads, what will be the face of the Liao people? Ancestors?”

Wu Yong seemed to have expected such a reaction from Han Fang. He smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "Deputy Ambassador Han, what you said is certainly reasonable. However, the current situation cannot be tolerated due to the current situation. You Daliao have more choices. If your queen mother can be accepted by my family, it will not only help you have a decent and trouble-free ending in Daliao, but also make your family and our family closer together. Wouldn't it be better for a bloody man in your family to take revenge on the Jurchens on the battlefield? After all, the reason why Daliao is so far is mainly because of the Jurchens. "

Xiao Rong and Han Fang were silent for a moment. They knew that what Wu Yong said was true, and the situation in front of them was indeed extremely unfavorable to their Bei Liao counterparts. However, they are really unwilling to accept such conditions!

After a while, Han Fang raised his head and looked at Li Gang and Wu Yong: "Xiangong Li, Military Advisor Wu, my family will seriously consider your proposal. However, this matter is related to the dignity of Daliao and the reputation of the Queen Mother. We cannot Make the decision easily. Please give us some time and let us go back and discuss with the Queen Mother before we give you a reply.”

Li Gang and Wu Yong expressed their understanding. They knew that such conditions were indeed difficult for the Liao people to accept, but they also believed that their words had had an effect. They believe that as long as the Liao people are given enough time to think and weigh the pros and cons, the Liao people will eventually make the right choice.

Xiao Rong and Han Fang met Xiao Qian on their way back to Yanjing.

Xiao Qian asked the two about their mission to Shuibo Liangshan?

Xiao Rong told Xiao Qian that Jiang Hongfei wanted to take Xiao Puxian's daughter as his concubine.

Xiao Qian was not a Khitan, but a Xi person.

At the beginning, after Yelu Abaoji unified the grasslands, he designated the Khitan people as a royal family and all had the surname "Yelü".

In addition to the royal family, there are several tribes designated as descendants by Yelu Abaoji. They have been intermarried with the Khitan people for generations, and all have the surname "Xiao". One of these descendants is the Xi tribe.

The Xi people were originally an independent nation, originating in the late Han Dynasty, and were of the same race as the Khitan.

Xiao Qian is a Han name, and his nickname is Huilibao, Huilibu, Kuilibu, etc. After he became the neighbor of King Xi, his life experience was very complicated and full of legend.

Without going into details about the process, I will just say that Xiao Qian was the first-class commander-in-chief and the first-class general of the Liao Kingdom. Now he is the most powerful person in the Northern Liao Dynasty. When Yelu Chun was alive, he appointed Xiao Qian to know the Northern Academy. He was the privy envoy and commander of all armies. He was called the king of the four armies (i.e. Khitan, Xi, Han and Bohai) at that time.

In addition, he also has another identity - the brother of Xiao Puxian's daughter.

Let me ask, Jiang Hongfei wants Xiao Puxian's daughter to be his concubine. As his brother, how can Xiao Qian not be angry?

The key is, facing the current situation in Northern Liao, Xiao Qian has long put life and death at risk. He has always held the belief that "I would rather die for my country than compromise with anyone" to fight against the Jin Army and Liangshan. Army combat.

Therefore, seeing Jiang Hongfei and his ministers humiliating them in Daliao, Xiao Qian angrily rallied his troops and said to the Liao people: "Jiang Yan, a grass bandit, wants to take me, the Queen Mother of Daliao, as his concubine. He has insulted Daliao too much and bullied me into having no warriors in Daliao. Only fight to the death!”

…

On June 29, the left and right armies of Liangshan and the Liao army met in Gushan Town.

At the same time, Jiang Hongfei led the central army to attack Liao and also arrived in Zhuozhou.

There is also good news. Dong Pang'er led 50,000 rebels to drown themselves in Liangshan.

Dong Pang'er is not a national hero, he is just a speculator with tens of thousands of Liao Han rebels under his command.

Not long ago, Dong Pang'er saw that Jiang Hongfei had occupied Hebei and Tian Hu had occupied Hedong. The power of the Zhao and Song dynasties could not even cross the Yellow River. Dong Pang'er did not dare to touch Tian Hu and the people who were about to regain Yan. After Jiang Hongfei was selected, he led the crowd to vote for Jiang Hongfei.

Of course, this is also because Dong Pang'er was defeated by the Jin army and could no longer hang out in Yundi.

However, this is not important. What is important is that Dong Pang'er's choice means that Jiang Hongfei's current power has indeed been recognized by many heroes, even the heroes in the Yanyun area. This will help Jiang Hongfei regain Yanyun Sixteenth state.

Jiang Hongfei sent Zhang Shi to strip away the non-Qi warriors, old and weak women and children in Dong Pang'er's rebel army, and rewarded them with fields, grain, and spiritual money for proper resettlement. He obtained 7,000 elite soldiers, and then received political education and military training from the Shuibo Liangshan military sergeant. After training, they changed their uniforms and formed a separate army, which was put under the control of political cadres and staff officers sent by Dong Pang'er and the sergeant.

At this time, Jiang Hongfei personally commanded the army of the central route to attack the Liao Dynasty, including Dong Pang'er's tribe. The total number was not less than 100,000. These 100,000 troops were outside Zhuozhou City from morning to night every day, with the sound of drums and whistles shaking the sky. land to deter Yanjing.

On this day, the front troops of the left and right armies of the Liao army, that is, Lin Chong, Yue Fei, Luan Tingyu, and Wu Lin, advanced to the south bank of the Lugou River. They quietly observed that the river was calm, the waves were calm, and the north bank was quiet. No Liao people were found. The military figure only saw trenches and trenches.

Suddenly, several cold arrows were shot from the north bank.

Lin Chong and Luan Tingyu quickly sent people to report to Zhu Wu and Mrs. Jia in the rear, saying that the former army had fought with the enemy along the Lugou River, but they did not know the true situation on the other side and asked for instructions whether to cross the river to fight.

The Lugou River is only thirty miles away from Yanjing. If Liangshan's army crosses the Lugou River, they will soon be able to reach the city of Yanjing.

Zhu Wu, Mrs. Jia and others discussed it and felt that this river must be crossed sooner or later. It would be better to cross it later than to cross it early to avoid hesitation and trouble, so they ordered the former army to wait for an opportunity to cross the river.

Lin Chong, Yue Fei, Luan Tingyu, Wu Lin and other troops, after receiving the order, began to tentatively cross the river, followed closely by the Liao army from the left and right.

Surprisingly, although the Liao army built a lot of fortifications along the north bank of the Marco Polo River, there was no ambush. Only a few hundred men and horses stayed behind. When they saw that the Liangshan army dared to cross the river, they immediately fled.

The two armies attacking the Liao Dynasty on the left and right crossed the Marco Polo River without any danger.

Just when Zhu Wu and Mrs. Jia were scratching their heads, the front army of the Central Route Army led by Jiang Hongfei personally was attacked by Xiao Qian in Liangxiang.

Liangxiang was originally an important military town in the Liao Kingdom, located thirty miles south of Lugou River. It was the only place to pass in and out of Yanjing from the southwest.

As soon as Jiang Hongfei led the central army to conquer Liaozhou, Guo Pharmacist suggested to Jiang Hongfei that he must capture Liangxiang.

Jiang Hongfei then sent the Beiwei Army and the Bushi Army to seize Liangxiang, and also ordered Guo Yaoshi to serve as a staff officer with the army.

Liangxiang is only sixty miles away from Zhuozhou, with a flat plain.

The Beiwei Army arrived at Liangxiang in only half a day. Although the Bushi Army was an infantry army, under the leadership of Liu Tang and Lei Heng, it took less than a day to reach Liangxiang.

However, when Liang Shanjun came to Liangxiang, he found that Liangxiang had become an empty city.

Du Bo was puzzled by this. He asked Pharmacist Guo: "General Guo, what is your intention when you say Xiao Qian abandoned the city? Since Liangxiang is the southwest gateway of Yanjing and such an important defensive stronghold, Xiao Qian He gave it up so easily. Could it be that he was trying to lure the enemy deeper into the army and create pockets for our army? "

Guo Yaoshi replied: "Xiao Qian did not have enough troops. He withdrew from Liangxiang. I think he was shrinking the defense line and had no choice but to do it. He may have concentrated his troops along the Lugou River, which is where he defended Yanjing. The most important line of defense is that he must use the river to block his attack. In my opinion, our army can directly cross the river, fight with him, and then march to the city to capture Yanjing in one go. "

Du Bo said: "You are right. I estimate that the two armies on the left and right will cross the river to fight with them in the next day or two. I wonder if our troops can catch up with this battle?"

Du Bo, Feng Tai, Liu Tang, Lei Heng, Guo Yaoshi and others immediately set up defenses here in Liangxiang.

At the suggestion of Pharmacist Guo, Lei Heng led 2,000 infantry troops to station at Liaoshi Hill.

Liaoshi Gang is on a hill in the northeast direction outside Liangxiang City. The ground there rises abruptly, and there is a high tower on the hill. The high tower is a hollow pagoda, which can also be used to observe military situations. The five-story pavilion is octagonal and more than ten feet high. It can overlook Yanjing in the north and Zhuolu in the south. The military situation of dozens of miles around can be seen in front of you.

That night, Xiao Qian, who deliberately abandoned his hometown, led an army of 50,000 to fight back.

There is no moon in the sky, only the stars are shining. The stars hang down on the plains and the fields are vast, and the autumn night is quiet and boundless.

The city wall of Liangxiang is very unique. It is made entirely of mud. It is two feet high and three feet thick. It seems to have good defensive performance. However, Xiao Qian had people destroy the defensive restrictions in several sections, allowing them to enter easily. In Liangxiang, the Liangshan army was caught off guard.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian had calculated everything, but he never expected that the Liangshan Army had a telescope. Their actions were discovered by the soldiers of the Liangshan Army on the hollow pagoda, and they came back and reported to Lei Heng.

Lei Heng, who had already fallen asleep, immediately got up and asked people to light the beacon tower.

When Xiao Qian saw the smoke rising, how could he not know that his plan had failed?

In anger, Xiao Qian launched a fierce attack on Liao Shi Gang.

Lei Heng organized his soldiers to shoot at the Liao army while retreating into the watchtower. Finally, they joined the guards in the tower and defended the tower.

Seeing this, Xiao Qian changed his plan and sent out 10,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on the watchtower. At the same time, he laid down troops to ambush and encircle the spot for reinforcements.

Du Bo and Liu Tang saw the beacon fire and came to rescue them, but they were violently attacked by the Liao army and were almost wiped out by the Liao army.

Fortunately, Jiang Hongfei saw the beacon fire and felt that something was not good, so he ordered Lu Junyi, Sun An, Shi Wengong, and Wang Jin to lead his troops to reinforce.

Only then did Du Bo and Liu Tang be rescued and the Liao army repulsed.

By the time the troops arrived at Liao Shi Gang, the Liao army, led by Xiao Qian, had already withdrawn from the battle. Lei Heng's more than 2,000 men were left with less than 300, and everyone was injured, especially Lei Heng. He was hit by six arrows, which almost killed him.

The Liangshan army pursued them all the way to the Lugou River but failed to catch up with the Liao army.

Just as a group of Liangshan Army generals were preparing to cross the river and continue to pursue the Liao Army, fierce fighting came from the other side of the river...
