Li Hu entered Yanjing for the first time and saw this majestic city for the first time. Everything here was very novel to him...
Compared with Xijing, Yanjing is larger and has the kingly spirit of Kyoto. In the past 100 years, the Khitans built Yanjing into the largest city in the north. However, today it fell, witnessing the defeat of the Great Liao Kingdom.
Huang She and Li Hu walked side by side and introduced Yanjing to him in detail along the way. After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh, "Yanjing should be a capital of kings. If we unify the north, we should build the capital here."
"The capital was built here, so where is our southern border?" Li Hu asked with a smile, "Is the Yellow River?"
"The Yellow River, at least it must reach the Yellow River." Huang She said solemnly, "The Tuoba Xianbei unified the northern basin of the Yellow River, and then formed a stalemate with the Southern Dynasties. If we want to conquer the world today, we must also take the Tuoba Xianbei route, first gain a foothold in Daibei, and then take Hebei. With Hebei's wealth, we will fight south to the Central Plains and Jianghuai, west to Heshuo and Hexi, and expand our territory. Compared with the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia is relatively weak, so we must first fight westward, defeat the Dangxiang people, take Heshuo and Hexi into his pocket, extend our territory to the distant Dunhuang, and extend it to Yumen Pass in the Gobi Desert. Once we take the northwest, we can sweep Guanzhong and compete with the Song Dynasty for the Central Plains."
"You greedy lame man." Li Hu raised his whip and knocked it. The matter of knocking was not resolved. Daibei has not yet stood firm. We are still struggling for survival. But you are thinking about competing for the Central Plains. What dreams do you have in the spring and autumn? Don't dream first, and solve the most urgent matter first. Li Hu's face suddenly became dark and said coldly: "I warn you not to be proud of yourself. Extreme happiness leads to sadness. I am a native of the Song Dynasty. The long-cherished wish of our Liaodong Han people from generation to generation is to return to China. Now we have finally gotten to fulfill our wish, but you have to be ungrateful and betray China. Do you want to die?"
Huang She was startled, and her extremely excited mood was as if a basin of cold water was poured on it. I was so happy, I was so happy. I forgot about it..." Huang She gave herself two shits, "I said the wrong thing, I stumbled on my own..."
Li Hu sneered and stared at him with vicious eyes, "Where is Hebei? It is the territory of the Song Dynasty, the land of the Han people. You asked me to fight Hebei and let the Han people beat Han people. What is your intention? Are you a Han or a Fan person?"
"General General, of course I am a Han Chinese..." Huang She screamed and tried his best to defend himself, "I mean..."
"Enough, you dare to talk nonsense again. I will kill you to feed the dog." Li Hu said sternly, "Our next goal is the Northwest, the Dangxiang people, you will remember it for me."
Huang She let out a cold sweat and cursed Li Hu for a few words. His expression was slower, and he asked again: "How long do you expect it will take us to empty Yanjing?"
"The most valuable things in Yanjing are not gold, silver, jewelry, money, grain, silk, and books, books, bachelor's degree in the Taixue and Hanlin Academy, and craftsmen in workshops." Huang She saw that Li Hu stopped scolding, and his tone was relieved. He immediately became energetic. "We just need to move all the books and classics and take all the Jinshi, bachelor's degree and craftsmen to Datong. We have the wisdom to create wealth."
"I want money." Li Hu interrupted Huang She angrily. "I want money. Hu Lie Mansion is already in short supply and has a serious deficit. Don't you know? Don't tell me these useless land. You can transport the money from Yanjing to Datong first."
"Money will always be spent all day. There is no way out when we eat the mountain. As long as we have the wisdom to create wealth, wealth will come. It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible..."
"Do you listen to what I say?" Li Hu interrupted him again in anger.
"Listen. Of course I will listen to you." Huang She was justified. "But your idea is wrong. Of course I have to advise me. I say one thing. You say ten words. Do you want to die?" Li Hu opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily. "Do you want that woman? If you fight me again, I will take my love with you."
Ah? Huang She was anxious and said with both hands. "I will listen to you. I will listen to you. You will do whatever you say."
Li Hu was so excited when he saw Huang She that he was scared. This woman was the weakness of the lame man. If he couldn't get along with me in the future, I would use this trick to scare him. "In the past few months, the Khitans have been experiencing heavy taxes in Yanjing and scraping three feet of the ground. The money, grain, silk and silk in the treasury must be piled up like a mountain. You can discuss with Dashang Hong immediately and transport it to Datong as quickly as possible." After a pause, he said again, "But you have a reasonable point. Classics and talents are the most important things. In this way, there are many books and classics in Xijing. You can put them in a few places first, so you can move them to Datong first. You have two legs in Yanjing, you can walk over by yourself."
Huang She didn't dare to speak anymore and nodded repeatedly, "In order to prevent books and classics from being damaged, you must send someone to take care of them. It is strictly forbidden for the soldiers to plunder them at will."
"I have already given an order. Who dares to rob and kill in Yanjing without mercy." Li Hu said, "The Song people had already entered Yanjing last time, but because of the soldiers plundering and killing people, the people were angry and failed. So I want to learn from the lesson. Whoever dares to ruin my affairs will peel him off."
"This..." Huang She turned his eyes a few times, and approached Li Hu and said, "The royal relatives of the Great Liao Dynasty, noble bureaucrats, Youyan's aristocratic families, and wealthy merchants, most of them live in Yanjing. Their families must be far more than the national treasury."
"Let it go first." Li Hu sneered, "Let's stabilize Yanjing first and see the development of the situation. If the situation is not good for us, we must withdraw immediately. Then we will completely loot Yanjing before leaving. Since I have come, I will dig the ground of Yanjing three feet, otherwise I will be sorry for the soldiers who died in Juyong Pass."
When Huang She heard this, she immediately smiled. Li Hu was still Li Hu of the past, but she was even more greedy and bloody.
While the two were discussing how to plunder wildly, they saw Yue Fei and a team of iron guards rushing towards him.
This time, Yue Fei led the two battalions of iron guards to follow Gao Yuan to fight into the city. After a fight, the battle was stained with blood, which showed that the battle was very fierce.
"The prime minister, Empress Xiao escaped, she is not in the palace."
"What? Escaped?" Li Hu and Huang She looked at each other, feeling that things had become tricky.
"Just just now, Prime Minister Xiao Delidi of the Northern Palace came (This book reprinted the palace to find Empress Dowager Xiao, and the eunuch told him that Empress Dowager Xiao was forcibly taken away by Xiao Gan's subordinates." Yue Fei said in a low voice. "Xiao Delidi, Xiao Saba and Han planned to go out of the city to find it, but were locked by Gao Shuai?" Li Hu asked anxiously.
"Dong Shuaidi Heishan Army has blocked the two cities in the east and north, but during our siege, most of the officials of the two governments in the north and south, as well as many wealthy families, noble families, and some huge merchants and wealthy businesses all took the opportunity to run away..."
"It's good to run away, so as to avoid being tired of killing people." Li Hu said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if the person runs away, as long as the property of the mansion is still there." Huang She reached out to invite him, "General Commander-in-Chief. I'll accompany you to the palace to take a look."
"You accompany me?" Li Hu looked at him and raised his head and laughed, "Forget it, go by yourself. I want to summon the military commander to discuss matters. I have no time to go. Since Empress Xiao is not here, you have the full responsibility to deal with the local affairs in the palace.
Huang She was so happy that his soul was about to fly away. He forced himself to suppress his excitement and asked respectfully: "General General. What are the specific requirements?"
"What do I have to ask?" Li Hu smiled, "It's over. Then tear your face and do whatever you should do, but you can't do it like Longhua. We must gain a foothold in Daibei and help the Khitans rebuild the Liao Dynasty, so we cannot do anything completely. For example, the Khitan royal family in Yanjing, we should not kill them. Just steal their property and send them to the desert. As for the concubines, princesses, and maids in the palace, they are all trophys. You can send them all to Datong. The wife will deal with it and reward them to the meritorious generals."
Huang Shexin understood and rushed to the palace with Yue Fei.
Li Hu rushed to the Marshal's Mansion of Nanjing. The wilderness hurriedly met. Li Shuang and Chen Mi followed him. When they saw Li Hu, they hurriedly bowed and saluted. The two went to western Liaoning and Datong several times, and were old with Li Hu. This time, the fall of Yanjing was taken hostage. Empress Xiao was taken hostage and left by Han ministers such as Zuo Qigong and other Han ministers fled in panic. A group of loyal ministers were also fled. The only two old ministers, Xiao Delidi and Zhang Lin, were left in the north and south, to support the overall situation. The central ministers Li Shuang and Chen Mi decided to choose Li Hu at the moment of crisis. They persuaded some civil and military departments of the original Yelu Chundi and took them to join Li Hu.
After listening to Yuanye's story, Li Hu accepted Li Shuang and Chen Mi and asked them to be with Huang She. Yuanye, together with Yuanye, to temporarily take charge of the Nanjing Left-behind Office and the Nanjing Marshal's Office, and handle the Youyan military and political affairs.
Li Shuang and Chen Mi said something grateful, then hurriedly left, conveying Li Hu's orders to the officials who were anxiously waiting for the news.
Making this choice was very painful for them, but the Liao Dynasty had already destroyed the country and was completely destroyed by Li Hu. Survival was the top priority at this moment. They could escape to Pingzhou Road with Zuo Qigong, or escape to Prince Xi's mansion with Xiao Gan, but the final result was to surrender to the Jurchens. They were unwilling to surrender to the Jurchens. They were Han people. At the last moment, they would rather follow Li Hu to conquer the world than be the Jurchens. Another more important point is that Yelu Mingyue is Li Hu's wife. Because of this relationship, Li Hu is very likely to rescue Empress Dowager Xiao. As long as Empress Dowager Xiao comes back, as long as Yelu Dashi is still there, Li Hu will fulfill his promise and help the Khitans rebuild the Liao Dynasty in the desert. In the future, whether they follow Empress Dowager Xiao or Li Hu, they can do something big. Considering this reason, they chose Li Hu.
"I just received an important news." Yuanye said while accompanying Li Hu slowly, "Tie Shuai, Mu Shuai urgently reported that after they led their troops across Lugou, they caught a fleeing Xi army general. According to the young general's instructions, the Song army collapsed without fighting and threw down mountains of food and grass weapons in Liangxiang, and the number was amazing."
"I'm called Tie Shuai, Mu Shuai immediately rushed to Liangxiang and grabbed all these things." Li Hu was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "I'm making a fortune this time. I want to thank Xiao Gan heavily. Without the great victory in Liangxiang, there would be no such thing as me, Li Huxiong, who had not yet been able to rise to this day.
"The TieShip had already killed him." Yuanye laughed and continued, "There are more spoils in Zhuozhou City. The young general said that when the Liao army chased Zhuozhou City, the Song army had long run away. Zhuozhou was the place where the Song army stockpiled food and supplies. They retreated in panic and threw everything down
"The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind." Li Hu shook his head and sighed, "I really turned over this time."
"What should I do if Yelu Dashi?" Yuan Ye asked, "Tie Shuai means that it is best not to fight with him. There is not much left in the Liao army. If you fight the Khitans, there will be no army.
