"Uncle, great news!"

Ma Yuan ran in with excitement on his face, and immediately shouted loudly when he saw Ning Fu.

"What's the good news? Could it be that the Liao Emperor rose up and defeated the Jin Kingdom?"

Ning Fu asked with a smile. Compared with the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom has now become the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty, so psychologically speaking, Ning Fu is siding with his old rival Liao Kingdom.

"That's not true. The Liao Emperor is still confronting the Jin Army. Although the two sides continue to have small-scale conflicts, there is no possibility of a war breaking out yet."

Ma Yuan stepped forward quickly, took out a piece of information from his arms and handed it to Ning Fu and continued.

"This is the news that just came. Xiao Fengxian really listened to your uncle's words. Yelu and Lu Wen and his son have been killed, and all his troops have fallen into Xiao Fengxian's hands!"

Ning Fu was also shocked when he heard this. He immediately took the information, opened it, and read the contents in detail.

Just a few days ago, Xiao Fengxian secretly arrived at Anle City from Linhe Fort and met up with his younger brother Xiao Sixian. Then the two brothers secretly linked up with some generals in the army who were dissatisfied with Yelu and Lu O's father and son.

Finally, one night, he used the excuse of bombing the camp to lure Yelu, Lu On and his son to the Western Camp. Xiao Fengxian personally led the army to rebel. Yelu, Lu On and Yelu Chun, his father and his son, all died in the rebellion.

"Uncle, our people also heard a rumor that Yelu Chun once wanted to surrender, but Xiao Fengxian still killed him. I don't know whether it is true or not?"

After Ma Yuan waited for Ning Fu to read the information, he spoke again.

"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. What's important is that Yelu and Luo are dead. Brother Fengxian can blame them and his son for all the crimes. After all, dead people can't defend themselves."

Ning Fu smiled slightly.

This mutiny was also beyond his expectation. He reminded Xiao Fengxian before that it was actually mainly for Xiao Fengxian's safety.

But he didn't expect Xiao Fengxian to be so decisive and directly launched a mutiny to kill Yelu and Lu Wo.

However, Ning Fu can also understand Xiao Fengxian, because Xiao Fengxian's fate is tied to Yelu Yanxi. If Yelu Yanxi's throne is not maintained, Xiao Fengxian will definitely not end well.

That's why Xiao Fengxian valued the military power in the hands of Yelu and Lu Bo so much that he would even launch a mutiny to control it. Because with this military force, Yelu Yanxi's strength would be greatly increased, and he would be even more powerful against the Jin Kingdom.

There is a chance of winning.

"Uncle, Xiao Feng first seized the military power of Anle City, and then he will definitely transfer most of his troops to the northern border of Liao Kingdom. Coupled with the troops in the hands of Yelu Yanxi, he should be able to gather a hundred thousand troops to fight against the Jin Congress.

Is there a possibility of a comeback?”

Ma Yuan asked Ning Fu again.

Although Ma Yuan has first-hand knowledge of all kinds of intelligence, when it comes to analyzing the intelligence and controlling the current situation, he is even inferior to Ning Fu.

"I do hope that Yelu Yanxi can make a comeback. If he is willing to delegate power and hand over his troops to a mature and prudent general, even if he cannot win against the Jin army, he will not suffer a loss. But if he leads the troops himself, I am afraid that the Liao army will

The army will only be defeated faster!"

When Ning Fu mentioned Yelu Yanxi, he also had a wry smile on his face.

He remembered a saying from later generations that said that when an empire goes downhill, someone must step on the accelerator.

Although this sentence contains elements of joking, it is sometimes very accurate. The Liao Kingdom is already a declining empire. Yelu Yanxi, the person who controls the entire empire, has obviously been stepping on the accelerator for the Liao Kingdom and accelerating the Liao Kingdom.

of decline.

"After such a disastrous defeat last time, Yelu Yanxi shouldn't dare to lead the army himself anymore, right?"

Ma Yuan thought for a while and asked again.

According to common sense analysis, Yelu Yanxi suffered such a big loss last time, so he should realize his own lack of ability. It is better to leave things like fighting to the generals in the army.

"It's hard to say. Even if he doesn't lead the troops himself, who can guarantee that he won't interfere with the decision-making of the generals?"

Ning Fu shook his head again.

Yelu Yanxi still stayed in the northern border of Liao Kingdom and had no intention of returning to Zhongjing. It was probably because he was defeated so miserably that he had no shame to go back.

As long as Yelu Yanxi stayed in the north, he could intervene in the decision-making of the army at any time. He had more power than the supervisors in the Song Dynasty army. With him here, no matter how capable the generals were, they might not be able to let go.

In the next period of time, Ning Fu ordered Ma Yuan to closely monitor every move of the Liao Kingdom.

Ning Fu and others captured the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the Song Dynasty was unable to expand northward in a short period of time. The rising power of the Jin Kingdom was too powerful, and the Liao Kingdom might fall into disintegration at any time.

You must know that in the original history, the whole process of the Jin's battle to destroy the Liao took only five or six years.

Especially in the early stage, the rise of the Jin Kingdom was extremely powerful. In just over a year, they captured Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom, and then captured more than a dozen state capitals, which greatly expanded the power of the Jin Kingdom.

If the Jin Kingdom really waited until the Jin Kingdom captured Liao Kingdom's Tokyo, the climate of the Jin Kingdom would have already reached its peak, and it would be extremely difficult to contain them.

Therefore, Ning Fu knew very clearly that the next battle between Yelu Yanxi and the Jin Kingdom would determine the national destiny of the Liao and Jin countries, and even affect the national destiny of the Song Dynasty, which he had to pay attention to.

The Imperial City Division had already set up various spies in the Liao Kingdom, and various information continued to pass through Ma Yuan, and finally reached Ning Fu.

According to the situation investigated by the Imperial City Division, Xiao Fengxian quickly took control of the situation in Anle City after killing Yelu and Lu On.

After all, Xiao Fengxian had Yelu Yanxi's imperial edict in his hands, and Yelu and Lu O had previously disobeyed the edict, so Xiao Fengxian took advantage of Dayi.

In addition, Xiao Feng also publicized before and after that Yelu and Lu On and his son had evil intentions and even stayed in the palace overnight. Although there were some falsehoods and some were true, it was only necessary to pin the charges on Yelu and Lu On and his son.

Next, Xiao Fengxian began to mobilize the army. Except for leaving 5,000 troops to garrison Anle City, he took the rest of the army to the north.

However, Xiao Fengxian's move of killing Yelu and Lu Wei also caused shock in the Liao Kingdom. Many royal families cursed Xiao Fengxian and even wrote to Yelu Yanxi to kill Xiao Fengxian.

However, Yelu Yanxi acted very tough. Instead of punishing Xiao Fengxian, he rewarded him greatly and once again ordered nobles from various places to send troops to support the northern border.

Yelu Yanxi's actions chilled many Liao nobles, but there were also some timid people who were afraid of becoming the second Yelu and Lu O, so they sent troops to the north to obey Yelu Yanxi's orders.
