Chapter 2016

Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu, and Murong Danyan listened to Feng Wei's narration of old events, and they all sympathized with Yelu Bei. After hearing what Feng Wei said, the three of them all thought that Li Cunxu was addicted to wine and sex and had no intention of the Northern Expedition, and Yelv Deguang was bound to go east.

It is a very tragic thing to conquer Yelvbei and have a feud between brothers. It is a pity that Yelvbei was jealous of his biological parents. Not to mention that he lost the throne, his younger brother couldn't tolerate him. How can it be "miserable" for a person to end up in such a situation in his life?

"Can it be described in two words?

Just listen to Feng Wei continue to say: "In order to deal with Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei not only placed many informants in the capital of Liao Kingdom, but also sent his cronies to inquire for information in the Central Plains. The news that Li Cunxu and his ministers were greedy for pleasure and temporarily gave up the Northern Expedition soon spread

When they arrived at the Dongdan Kingdom, Yelv Bei was shocked. Knowing that Yelv Deguang had no worries, he was afraid that he would immediately launch an army to march eastward. The few troops under his command were not enough to give Yelv Deguang a gap in his teeth. Not to mention the land of the Dongdan Kingdom.

The country is barren. Although he worked hard and bought food and grass in the Central Plains by sea, it was only a drop in the bucket. Once Yelu Deguang led the army to the Dongdan Kingdom, there was no need to attack hard. He only had to surround the capital of the Dongdan Kingdom and not a single person could escape.

By the end of the month, there would be no food in the city, and thirty to forty thousand people in the whole city would starve to death.

"The more Yelu Bei thought about it, the more anxious he became. Although he was confident that he would be able to defeat Yelu Deguang in the battlefield, he lost the opportunity and ended up in a remote and cold place like Dongdan Kingdom, with a small army, few generals, and insufficient food, grass and weapons.

, If you fight, you will be defeated, if you don't fight, you will die. After thinking about it, Yelubei was terrified, but he had no idea.

"Yelü Bei spent more than half a month in panic. He sent a spy in the capital of Liao Kingdom to send back the news, saying that Yelu Deguang was mobilizing troops and would soon march eastward. In this expedition to Dongdan Kingdom, Yelu Deguang

Determined to complete his achievements in one battle, he mobilized all the elite soldiers and horses from all over the Liao Kingdom to the capital, totaling 320,000 horses. After the food, grass and weapons were ready, Yelu Deguang personally led them to kill the Dongdan Kingdom.

"When Yelu Bei heard the news, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He knew that more than 300,000 Liao troops were swarming in, and even if he had three heads and six arms, he would never be able to resist it. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he turned around in the room

He turned around like an ant on a hot pot and couldn't stop at all. He was a good man who crawled out from the dead on the battlefield. He usually didn't believe in ghosts and gods. At the critical moment of life and death, he was so incompetent that he actually prayed to God.

The gods appeared and allowed him to avoid this disaster.

"Yelübei's life should not be cut off. Just when he was feeling anxious and uneasy, suddenly another spy came to report that something big had happened in the Central Plains. Yelu Deguang had personally led his army south and had no time to march eastward. Yelubei heard the news.

, almost couldn't believe his ears. In great sorrow and joy, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed more than ten times, thanking God for mercy and helping him through the difficulties.

"It turns out that Li Cunxu favored actors and drank and had fun in the palace day and night, causing the government to collapse and make people angry. The emperor was so ridiculous that his ministers and generals also followed the same example. They were all indulged in drinking and sex.

How can you think about governing the world? The people of the Central Plains suffered from military disasters and were able to live a stable life for a few days. However, the court was corrupt and excessive levies and miscellaneous taxes were plentiful. The people could not survive and had to flee one after another. The government could not collect taxes, so the officials

Send troops to capture the fleeing civilians. If they fail to catch the civilians, the sergeants are often whipped, and some sergeants even lose their heads. The civilians are forced to have no choice but to gang up and fight against the officers and soldiers. These people lose their families and land and start a war.

They were not afraid of death, and the officers and soldiers could not help but retreat. When the ministers and generals saw that the officers and soldiers were defeated, they would only complain that the generals who led the officers and soldiers to suppress the people were useless, and killed many officers. In this way, not only the people hated the government, but also

Many soldiers were also dissatisfied with the imperial court and eventually caused great trouble.

"In that year of the Hebei Civil War, the imperial court sent a group of officers and soldiers to quell the rebellion. As a result, they were owed wages for many days. The group of officers and soldiers mutinied halfway and kidnapped the general who commanded the army, demanding that the imperial court pay the general first. The news came to

In the capital, Li Cunxu was furious. Not only did he not reissue the military pay, but he also sent a large army to kill all the mutinous officers and soldiers. Unexpectedly, this army turned against them halfway, and they turned against each other.

The officers and soldiers of the team raised the anti-flag together.

"The rebellion of these two armies was like lighting a fire on a dry woodpile. Officers and soldiers everywhere responded one after another, and the world was in chaos. Li Cunxu sent several generals one after another to lead troops to conquer the rebels, but they were not defeated by the rebels.

To escape was to be kidnapped by his sergeants and surrender to the rebels. As a result, the rebels fought more and more, the territory controlled by the court became smaller and smaller, and the situation became more and more critical.

"Yelu Deguang originally wanted to conquer Yelu Bei in the east. When he heard about the chaos in the Central Plains, he was surprised and happy. He immediately summoned his close ministers to discuss military plans. These ministers all thought that Yelu Bei was trapped in Dongdan Kingdom, with a small army and few generals, and could not do anything.

Dalang. There is only one great enemy of Daliao, and that is the brave and invincible Li Cunxu. As long as this man does not die, Daliao will not be able to live in peace. At present, the Central Plains is in chaos, and Li Cunxu is besieged on all sides. If he can take the opportunity to raid the Central Plains and kill Li Cunxu, Dalang will be defeated.

From now on, the Liao Dynasty will surely have peace of mind. Yelu Deguang listened to the advice of his ministers and personally led the more than 300,000 troops originally used for the Eastern Expedition to go south and approach the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. He waited until Li Cunxu was exhausted and alone.

A massive attack was launched and Li Cunxu was destroyed in one fell swoop.

"The general of the Tang army who was guarding the border at that time was Li Siyuan. Hearing that Yelu Deguang, the Lord of Liao, was personally leading an army of 300,000 people to the south, Li Siyuan was not afraid, but he was a little nervous. He mobilized his troops and prepared for a decisive battle with Yelu Deguang.

, while sending his cronies to meet with Yelu Bei’s confidants, he promised that as long as Yelu Bei sends troops to attack the capital of Liao Kingdom and contain Yelu Deguang’s army, he himself will definitely summon the Tang army from Youyun Sixteen Prefectures for the Northern Expedition and defeat Yelu Deguang in one fell swoop. It will be done.

After that, Li Siyuan led his army to retreat south, and Yelu Bei became the emperor of Liao Dynasty.

"Yelu Bei received a secret report from his confidants in Dongdan Kingdom. He was really surprised and happy, and immediately agreed to join forces with Li Siyuan to deal with Yelu Deguang. The two men had fought on the battlefield before and were sworn enemies. But at that time

The situation of the two of them was quite similar. They were both forced by their masters and had almost no place to stay. There was quite a bit of sympathy for each other. Li Siyuan admired Yelu Bei a little, and when he saw that he agreed to join forces with him, he felt quite sad.

Happy.

"At that time, there was already a war going on all over the Central Plains. Although Li Cunxu was hiding in the palace to enjoy himself, and the eunuchs and actors did not allow ministers to tell Li Cunxu about the situation outside, but such important events could not be concealed. In the end, Li Cunxu still knew about the rebellion.

, there is no peace in the Central Plains. When he heard that the generals he sent not only failed to annihilate the rebels, but also raised a rebel flag, he was shocked and angry. He became furious in the palace and wanted to personally lead his troops to annihilate the rebels.

It's just that those eunuchs and actors didn't dare to go to war with the emperor, so they colluded with the courtiers who were greedy for life and feared death, and tried their best to dissuade Li Cunxu from going to the expedition in person. Li Cunxu was deceived by these villains and treacherous officials, and in the end he did not go to the expedition in person. Instead, he wanted Li Siyuan, who was guarding the border, to lead his army south.

Destroy the rebels everywhere for him."
