back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 469
Yeluliang said in a low voice: "Since the emperor's uncle will pretend to be crazy and foolish, we can also pretend to be ignorant. Your Majesty can even sell the emperor's uncle a flaw and let the palace tent army set up camp here. Go hunting. Seeing this, the Emperor Taishu will definitely take action. As long as he rebels together, we can let the ambush soldiers rush out and surround us. It is expected that the Emperor Taishu will not be able to escape even if he spreads his wings!"

Yelu Chongyuan clapped his palms and said with a smile: "A wonderful plan, a wonderful plan! I never thought that a colleague from the Southern Academy, like Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, strategizes, and a plan can be born while talking and laughing!"

Yeluliang said modestly: "Your Majesty's praise, this plan needs to be reconsidered, otherwise it will not be effective. Let's look at this snow, it will stop after three to five days. In such a snowy day, it is best to deploy troops... "

Yelu Hongji obeyed his advice, and after some discussion with Yeluliang, they came up with a plan.Yelu Hongji immediately issued a secret decree and quietly ordered [-] soldiers to lie in ambush at the foot of Mount Taizi.Therefore, there are many troops in the line, and the camps are towering. When you look over, you can't tell that there are tens of thousands of people missing.

It's just that this snowfall was really unexpected. It fell for six days and six nights in a row, and on the fifth night, it seemed to be raining, and it fell one after another.Heavy snow fell one after another, covering the entire vast grassland in just one day.The snowflakes are like catkins fluttering in the wind. As the wind blows harder and harder, the snow falls more and more densely, and the snowflakes become bigger and bigger, like weaving a white net, and you can't see anything if you are ten feet away.

On the seventh day, the heavy snow finally stopped gradually.The trees that have lost their leaves are covered with silver bars.Prince Edward Mountain, which seems not far away, is also a vast expanse of whiteness.Yelu Hongji came out of the Luanhe Palace and was about to issue an order to start hunting when the servant knelt down in the snow: "Your Majesty, the heavy snow has just passed and I can't even ride a horse. How can I hunt? I hope your majesty will use your body as an excuse." Heavy, don't take risks lightly!"

Yelu Hongji ignored him, it was true that the snow was too heavy, he had never seen such heavy snow in his life.Even outside the Luanhe Palace, the snow did not pass over the joints of the horse's legs.It is conceivable that if you go up the mountain, how deep the snow will be!
"The royal tent will ride with me! The rest of the three armies will stand by and wait for orders!"

When the servant heard this, he shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty!"

"You don't have to follow me, stay in the palace, and wait for the good news of my hunting tiger!"

At the same time as Yelu Hongji went hunting, Dashun's famous general Wang Shao led more than [-] soldiers, changing horses all the way without changing men, and finally rushed to Fengsheng Prefecture.The snowy road was difficult, so Wang Shao had to slow down.Moreover, Xue Ye couldn't hurry, so the journey that should have been completed in seven days was dragged on for fourteen days.

Outside the city gate of Fengsheng Prefecture, the city guards saw these twenty riders galloping forward, and hurriedly shouted: "Who is coming? If there is no imperial edict and soldier amulet, rein in your horse immediately, or you will be killed!"

After being trained by the Royal Military Academy, Wang Shao has begun to show the temperament of a famous general. He slowed down the speed of the horse without any haste, and shouted loudly: "I am Wang Shao, the commander of the imperial army, and I hold the imperial decree. I want to see Yang Wenguang, the shepherd of Fengsheng Prefecture. !"

The defenders of the city looked at each other in blank dismay. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Fengsheng Prefecture seemed to have been forgotten.Just like the Great Wall less than ten miles away in Fengsheng Prefecture, if no foreign enemies invaded, who would think of the Great Wall?

"...you just wait, I'll report it!" A soldier who looked like a frontier army chief said loudly, and hurried away after speaking.

Wang Shao's soldiers muttered impatiently: "I thought I could have a good rest, but I was blocked outside the city. Could it be that Feng Shengzhou still doesn't recognize the imperial decree and the soldier's amulet?"

"Shut up! What are you talking about? The Yang family is a loyal family. Yang Yanlang spent half his life as a soldier in exchange for his great reputation. Up to now, the Khitan people have not dared to invade Fengsheng Prefecture. In Yang's mansion, the late emperor bestowed a plaque of "a tiger general" , has become a good story. The loyalty of the generals of the Yang family is known to everyone in the world, how could they deny the imperial decree?" Wang Shao scolded.

The soldiers did not dare to speak any more, Wang Shao commanded the soldiers very strictly, although he loved the soldiers like his own sons, he also clearly rewarded and punished them.If you don't know how to play, you may be beaten with a military stick.

"Commander, Yang Wenguang heard that he is a tiger general, but he doesn't know his martial arts skills. How does he compare with Commander?"

"That's right, everyone says the Yang family's spear is powerful, but in my opinion it's not as good as the commander's marksmanship!"

"that is!"

The soldiers started to boo, Wang Shao knew very well that Wen Wu was the first and Wu Wu the second.It is the nature of warriors to be competitive, even he is no exception.But now is not the time to fight fiercely, the little emperor's imperial decree is clearly written, this is a great opportunity to seriously injure the Liao Kingdom, and Wang Shao's duty on this trip is to hold a military amulet to send troops to Fengsheng Prefecture.In addition, try to cooperate with Yang Wenguang to send troops to Mount Taizi.If Yang Wenguang misses the opportunity to fight, Wang Shao can still use the soldier talisman to dispatch troops.It’s just that the generals in Fengsheng Prefecture were all brought up by Yang Wenguang, whether they can listen to Wang Shao’s command or not, “I’m going to make a side note, I think Yang Wenguang knows the pros and cons...”

Just when the soldiers were making noise and Wang Shao was silent, there was a sound of horseshoes in Fengshengzhou City.The twenty or so guards immediately stopped their voices, and seeing the galloping cavalry, they couldn't help but put their hands on the handles of their sabers.

Wang Shao looked up and saw an old general in the lead, with a half-white long beard, a suit of armor, riding a bay red horse, looking very powerful.I saw a white birch bow and a pot of arrows hanging on the "bird wing ring" on the left front and lower left of the old man's saddle;

Before he could finish reading it, the horse was fast, and he stopped when he was less than ten feet in front of Wang Shao.I saw the old general's voice like a bronze bell saying: "The one who comes is Wang Shao, the commander of the imperial army?"

"It's the last general. By His Majesty's decree, he came here to serve Shengzhou. I don't know who the old general is..." Seeing that the old general was marching, Wang Shao quickly let go of the horse's reins, sincerely clasped his right hand, and returned the salute.

"I am Yang Wenguang!" the old general said slowly.

When Wang Shao heard the words, he didn't say much.He turned over and got off the horse, and took out the warm imperial edict from his arms.It's just that in this cold weather, it gets cold after a while.Wang Shao spread out the imperial decree and said in a clear voice: "Yang Wenguang, the governor of Shengzhou, will receive the decree!"

Yang Wenguang didn't have any doubts, and immediately got off his horse.More than a hundred generals and soldiers behind him also dismounted together, no matter how deep the snow was, they knelt down on the ground straight on one knee.

"Zhi said: I heard that Yelu Chongyuan, the emperor's uncle of the Liao Kingdom, wanted to take advantage of the time when the Emperor of Liao was hunting Taizi Mountain, support his troops and stand on his own, and wanted to kill the Liao Emperor at the foot of Taizi Mountain. This is a golden opportunity. I have thought about it for a long time and decided to attack Taizi Mountain. If the Emperor of Liao and Yelu Chongyuan were both wounded, they would fight again, and the Liao Kingdom would be in chaos. Then I will be able to rest and recuperate for more than ten years. The commander of the imperial army, Wang Shao Come to help. Wang Shao is familiar with military affairs, has a grand strategy, and is especially good at attacking. General Yang can properly listen to his strategy and play by ear. October 29th in the third year of Hong Xiang."

Wang Shao handed over the imperial decree to Yang Wenguang, and the soldiers dared to stand up and pat off the snow sticking to their bodies.Wang Shao took out the soldier talisman again, and asked Yang Wenguang to examine it carefully before putting it back in his arms.

Yang Wenguang still has doubts: "How did Your Majesty know about the civil strife in Liao?"
