Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 45 Wei Yuan serves as the vanguard, and the Sheng family goes to the capital
(Yeli Wangrong is the elder brother of Yeli Yuqi. The previous article was written incorrectly and has been corrected)

In mid-July of the second year of Jiayou's reign.

On the grounds that Wei Yuan, the general from the surrounding area, had killed Ye Li Wangrong, Xixia mobilized an army of 300,000 to attack Zhou.

At this moment, inside the Xixia Palace.

Yeli Wangrong's younger brother Yeli Yuqi was standing in front of Li Yuanhao, his eyes fixed on Yang Shousu.

Having been in the Xixia court for many years, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that the cause of his brother's death is not simple.

Li Yuanhao glanced at Ye Li Yuqi and said solemnly: "Your brother is the pillar of my Daxia. I am very sad to see him leave."

"So, when I lead the army to attack Zhou this time, I will take you as my commander. I hope that you can avenge your brother."

Hearing the sound, Ye Liyuqi was unwilling to accept it, but he could only bow and said: "General, I will accept your order!"

Afterwards, Li Yuanhao asked him to step aside and make arrangements for the expedition.

As soon as his front legs left, Yang Shousu comforted him and said:

"Your Majesty, General Yeli just passed away and his body is still in Yanmen. Do you want to send someone to bring it back?"

Li Yuanhao nodded and said: "You can arrange this matter. If Zhou Guo refuses, forget it. It will be the same if we capture Daizhou and bury Ye Li Wangrong with a generous burial."

Yang Shousu said again: "Your Majesty, is it inappropriate for you to bring General Yeli's wife to the palace before his body is cold?"

Hearing this, Li Yuanhao frowned slightly, "Huh? Do you want to get involved in my affairs?"

Yang Shousu suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his back and said quickly: "I don't dare."

Li Yuanhao snorted coldly and said: "I brought the Meuzang family to the palace, but I felt that her husband had just passed away and it was the time when she needed someone to comfort her."

"Ye Li Wangrong has made great contributions to the country, and due to emotion and reason, I should also take General Ye Li's relatives into the palace and take care of them for the rest of my life. What's wrong with this? Who dares to gossip?"

Yeli Wangrong's wife is very beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the country.

Li Yuanhao, who is lustful by nature, has been coveting her for a long time, but has never had a chance.

Now that Yeli Wangrong is dead, he simply doesn't hide it anymore.

Yang Shousu did not dare to say anything more on this matter, so he turned to the matter of Ye Li Yu Qi leading the troops.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the person in charge? Yeli Yuqi may have begun to doubt the cause of his brother's death."

Li Yuanhao laughed and said: "Don't worry, I will give him an explanation, and I will also give an explanation to the founding generals."

Yang Shousu was confused, how to explain?

Suddenly, he had a bad premonition, but the thought only fleetingly passed away.

No matter what, Li Yuanhao is a founding monarch, so he can't possibly shoot himself in the foot, right?
If you really confess yourself, you won't be able to calm Yeli Yuqi's suspicion!
Yeli Yuqi decided to go to Daizhou at the end of July.

The Liao Kingdom responded and sent Yelu Yixian to lead an army of 200,000 to attack Yanmen.

Before Ye Li Yuqi went to war.

Li Yuanhao held a banquet in the palace and entertained all the generals warmly.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Yuanhao said to Ye Li Yuqi:

"I know in my heart that you have been secretly investigating the cause of your brother's death these days."

"I won't hide it from you, I'm also investigating, and finally I have some clues."

Hearing this, Yeli Yuqi said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I wonder who killed my brother?"

Li Yuanhao said sadly: "I won't tell you, but you can actually guess a thing or two."

"I sent Yang Shousu to the Kingdom of Zhou because I thought that if my envoy from Daxia died in the Kingdom of Zhou, I could naturally start a war."

"But I was wrong about Yang Shousu. The person who died was not my envoy from Daxia, but my general from Daxia!"

The voice just fell.

Yeli Yuqi immediately glared at Yang Shousu, with a look that almost wanted to skin him alive.

The same is true for some of the generals who followed the Yeli clan in their campaigns in the north and south.

Yang Shousu was completely confused.

He was just about to get up and explain something.

Suddenly, the follower behind him took out a sharp blade and stabbed Yang Shousu fiercely.

That entourage has followed Yang Shousu for many years and has won the trust of the other party.

Yang Shousu lowered his head and looked at the short blade that passed through his chest, and then looked at Li Yuanhao who was sitting on the dragon chair. In an instant, he understood everything.

It turned out that from the moment he went to Daizhou as an envoy, he had become an abandoned son.

Throughout Daxia, everyone knew that Li Yuanhao had two confidants. The first was Zhang Yuan, and the second was Yang Shousu. Li Yuanhao looked at Yang Shousu coldly and said solemnly: "I originally wanted one of the deputy envoys or Yang Shousu himself to die in Zhou Kingdom."

"However, according to our investigation, the people Yang Shousu brought with him on his mission to the State of Zhou were all confidants he had cultivated for many years."

"He didn't want his confidant to die, so he indirectly killed General Yeli. He also told me that this time Yeli went on an expedition, he wanted to be a military advisor and wanted to get involved in the army!"

"I, I really can't bear it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Shousu was so angry that he was stabbed again. He spit out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground and died with his eyes open.

At this time, the confidant who stabbed Yang Shousu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed:
"Your Majesty, I have verified that Yang Shousu was indeed rebellious, and I have executed him on the spot in accordance with His Majesty's will!"

Li Yuanhao nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job."

After a pause, he looked at Yeli Yuqi again, "I know that maybe you don't believe what I said, but you can't disbelieve what your sister-in-law said, right?"

The voice just fell.

Then he saw Mu Zangshi appear here, crying and said to Yeli Yuqi:
"Uncle, your brother wrote a letter to me the day before he was killed."

"In the letter, it was mentioned that Yang Shousu had very close contacts with the ministers of the Zhou Dynasty"

After saying that, she handed Yeli Wangrong's letter to Yeli Yuqi.

That was not written by Yeli Wangrong himself.

Mu Zang has been married to Yeli Wangrong for many years, and no one knows Yeli Wangrong better than her, including the fonts.

Li Yuanhao said sadly: "I brought your sister-in-law to the palace because I feel sorry for your brother and want your sister-in-law to live a better life for the rest of her life."

"Second, Yang Shousu may know that your brother has written a letter to your sister-in-law, and he is worried that your sister-in-law knows something that will be detrimental to your sister-in-law."

Yeli Yuqi read the letter in detail.

It is no different from ordinary family letters.

I just talked a little bit more about Yang Shousu's close contacts with the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I was a little curious about it.

It's just like fishing for home.

This is what is called acting and doing everything.

If the entire letter was about Yang Shousu, it would be very suspicious.

"Your brother is the pillar of our Great Xia Kingdom!"

"He sensed that Yang Shousu was disloyal and wanted to investigate, but unfortunately Yang Shousu learned about it in advance. After all, the envoys responsible for sending envoys to Zhou State were all his people."

"Your brother was able to send the letter probably because it is a letter from home. If he were writing to you, he would not be able to leave Daizhou at all."

"The matter has come to this, Zhou Kingdom, we still want to attack. We want to take back your brother's body with an upright army. Do you understand? I have high hopes for you!"

Li Yuanhao said seriously.

Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, there is no room for unbelief in the case of wild profiteers and beggars.

In fact, for Li Yuanhao, the essence of killing a wild profit is the same as being prosperous or a wild profit meets a beggar.

Unfortunately, Yeli Wangrong has a beautiful wife.

Therefore, the person who dies can only be wild and prosperous.

As for Yang Shousu.
From the moment he was asked to make all arrangements for the mission, he was destined to die.

After all, someone will always take the blame for Ye Li Wangrong's death.

As for why he didn't kill Yeli Yuqi along the way, it was because the time had not come yet.

The two brothers of the Yeli clan have high prestige in the Xixia army.

Therefore, Li Yuanhao still needs Ye Liyu to beg for his life.
-
In early August, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty announced to the world.

Zhang Fu was appointed as the commander, and Gu Yankai and Wei Yuan were the left and right vanguards, leading 400,000 troops to resist the invasion of Xixia and Liao.

Before the army arrived, Wei Yuan took full control of Daizhou affairs.

At the end of September, Yeli Yuqi and Yeluyi joined forces first, with Yeli Yuqi as the commander-in-chief of both armies, and headed towards Yanmen.

In early October, Zhang Fu led the army to Daizhou.

At the same time, Yangzhou Tongpan Sheng Hong and his family took the waterway to the capital.
