After Yu Xuyu returned to Hangu, he held a small-scale wedding, announcing the four sisters of Mei Jian as their wives, and they were not ranked, and they were called Madam Mei, Madam Lan, Madam Ju and Madam Zhu.
Xiao Feng began to prepare for the rebellion of the King of Chu according to the advance arrangement.
The annual autumn hunting time for the Liao Kingdom has come. Yelu Hongji ordered the King of the North Court and Xiao Feng to accompany him, and the King of the South Court was stationed in Shangjing.
At the request of Xiao Feng and his wife, Yelu Hongji asked the concubines and others, Princess Jiahe and others to accompany him.
The Empress Dowager, Empress, and Princess rarely went out. When they heard the news, they were so happy that they went to the Liao lord to thank him.
Everyone was traveling east in the middle of the grassland, looking around, and nowhere was the end of the grassland.
At that time, the autumn was clear and the smell of the grass was very refreshing.
There are many small animals in the grass, and everyone is hunting and eating, worry-free.
At noon that day, Yelu Hongji ordered camp to set up a camp.
When the soldiers heard the order, they became busy. At a moment, they set up countless tents and put on flags and flags.
When the Liao emperor saw that the camp was completed, he sent an order to hunt. He suddenly heard the sound of whimpering horns. Following the dust, the two horses dispersed, one team heading north and the other team galloped south.
Hearing the sound of drums again, several teams of Khitan cavalry rushed up.
I could only hear the shouts: Shoot the deer Ah, shoot the deer Ah!
There were shouting sounds of shooting deer on the west, north and south, and the hunting was really awesome.
I saw that the Khitan cavalry were all wearing brocade robes and lined with iron armor.
The brocade robes are of red, green, yellow, and purple. The flags and brocade robes are of the same color, and they are galloping back and forth, with strong soldiers and strong horses, which is spectacular.
Each team of soldiers advanced and retreated according to the military orders, and drove away the Milu with their spears.
Four teams of cavalry surrounded from all sides, surrounding dozens of large deer in the middle.
Occasionally, a big deer escaped from the gap in the army formation, and a small team of soldiers came out to chase after him, circled around and forced the deer back.
The tactics they used were not like hunting, but like fighting on the battlefield, and the deer naturally became enemies.
As the prey fell one after another, the army returned to the team with its prey.
As the drums rang, the flying bear soldiers attacked from the left, all with bearskin jackets and bearskin hats.
Another drum sounded, and the flying tiger soldiers rode their horses to attack from the right, all with tiger-skinned clothes and tiger-skinned hats.
The two teams circled a larger circle, each following the military formation, forming a circular formation, stopped motionless, and waited for military orders.
Another drum sounded, and a team of flying leopard teams wearing leopard skin coats rushed out of the central army and quickly rushed to the center of the circular formation to form a solid circular formation, echoing the outer scattered circular formation.
At this time, the war drums were beating, and the sound of the drums shook the sky. The soldiers scattered outside began to move inward, and the soldiers scattered inside began to move outward, following the sound of the drums. Although there were many people, they were not panic. They startled their prey and then shot them one by one.
Although it is hunting, it is no different from marching and fighting.
The first time the concubines saw this scene, they stood on the high platform of the Central Army and watched it with relish.
It was getting late, and Yelu Hongji ordered the brigade to withdraw his troops. Each team of soldiers handed over the prey to the central army in order, and then the hunting number was rewarded to each team.
Today, he had a lot of harvests from hunting, and Yelu Hongji was very happy.
He ordered a banquet that night and was drunk with the soldiers.
Everyone was drinking, and suddenly heard a sharp and rapid sound of horns coming from a distance.
The soldiers were sitting on the ground, drinking and eating meat. When they heard the sound of the horn, they suddenly roared and stood up together, with panic on their faces.
The horn sounded so fast. It was still more than ten miles away when I first heard it. The second sound was close to several miles, and the third sound was close to several miles.
This is a message station for the Liao people to convey urgent military information. As soon as they hear the sound of the horn, they will reach the next station.
I heard the sound of a trumpet flying from the tent of the Liao lord, and it stopped suddenly.
The officers and soldiers in hundreds of camps were cheering and drinking, and they were in chaos, but suddenly they were silent.
Yelu Hongji looked calm, slowly raised the golden cup, drank the wine, and said: There are traitors in the capital who are causing trouble, let's go back and set up camp.
The marching general immediately turned around and went out to issue orders, but when he heard a command to transfer the camp, he turned into ten sentences, ten sentences turned into hundreds, and hundreds of sentences became thousands of sentences. The sound became louder and louder, but it was strict and orderly, without any panic and confusion, which showed that he was good at commanding the troops.
But when he heard the sound of horse hooves, the forward whistle probe first rushed out and followed the left and right vanguards to set off, and drove westwards back to Beijing.
Yelu Hongji stood up and walked out of the tent. The King of the North Court, Xiao Feng, Tai Shi, Tai Fu and others followed him. But in the dark, a lantern was lit on each military flag, with red, yellow, blue and white colors shining. More than 100,000 troops headed west, but they heard the neat sound of horse hooves, and could not hear a voice.
As soon as everyone left the tent, the guards immediately pulled out the camp and packed them in a moment. The luggage and baggage were loaded onto the camel and horse cart.
The Central Army Marshal issued an order, and the Central Army immediately protected the concubines and princesses to start.
Everyone looked solemn, but they didn't know who the insult was, and how chaotic it was.
Only Xiao Feng knew in his heart that it was the King of Chu who threatened the Emperor Taishu to rebel, and he probably had already taken Shangjing.
The brigade of men rushed westward and approached Beijing. The first person reported to the son and horses rushed to report to Yelu Hongji: The king of the Southern Court made a rebellion and occupied the palace. The families of all officials and soldiers have all been arrested.
Yelu Hongji was shocked and his face changed drastically.
Yelu Chongyuan was able to be the emperor, but he gave it to his brother, which shows that he values both loyalty and retreatment.
Yelu Hongji went out to hunt outside and handed over all the important military and national affairs in the capital to him, without any suspicion.
At this time, the message came that the rebellion was Yelu Nelugu, the king of the South Court. Yehonji was naturally shocked and worried. He knew that Nelugu was sinister and extremely harsh in dealing with things. Since he was treasonable, his father was determined to be indifferent.
Xiao Feng said: When the King of Chu is in chaos, the Emperor Taishu will definitely support him. Your Majesty might as well send envoys to all walks of life to explain the rebellion of the Emperor Taishu and the King of Chu, so that all the troops will not listen to the orders of the rebels.The Emperor Taishu was able to mobilize troops and horses, and quickly reached up to 200,000. Our army had more than 100,000 here. The soldiers and horses of the King of the North Court were not far from here and had already rushed to the capital.Your Majesty is brave and powerful, and the rebels do not know the truth. When the king in front of the army raises his arms, there will inevitably be many people who turn against each other.Even though our army is small invading, it may not be defeated.
The King of the North Court said: Your Majesty, please be polite. The 150,000 elite soldiers of my army have arrived at night and are expected to arrive in Shangjing the morning after tomorrow.
Yelu Hongji said: Can all the ministers have good plans to defeat the enemy?
The ministers looked at each other, no one spoke.
Xiao Feng said: It is not difficult to conquer the rebels head-on, but if they capture the families of officials and soldiers as hostages, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos on the front battlefield.I sneak into Shangjing tonight to see if I can save the hostages.
Yelu Honglie stood up and said: Thank you for your hard work, I wonder how many people you want to bring?
Xiao Feng said: One hundred personal soldiers are enough. In addition, the whistle cavalry was sent outside the city to support him. When he heard the alarm, he would come to respond quickly.
After Xiao Feng left, the report arrived and reported: The King of the Southern Court appointed Emperor Taishu as the emperor and had already issued an edict to the world.
Then the new emperor's edict was presented with both hands.
Hong Ji took it and saw the edict directly accusing Yelu Hongji of usurping the throne, and the eldest prince of the early emperor and the throne as the king, and he also led the army and horses of the world to fight against the enemy.
Yelu Hongji was furious and threw the edict into the fire and burned it to ashes, feeling very worried.
Xiao Feng's personal soldiers were all selected by himself. After secret training by Hangu disciples, Xiao Feng taught him martial arts. Although he didn't practice for a long time, the unique skills taught by Xiao Feng could benefit for the rest of his life. Moreover, he was naturally extremely talented when he was together day and night.
More than a hundred people rushed to the city by taking advantage of the night. Xiao Feng ordered everyone to dismount and sent one person to watch the horse, leading their own soldiers to sneak to the city.
Xiao Feng looked at the weak defense of the city wall, carried a thick rope, and stepped on his feet for more than a hundred steps, then turned the forward force into the rising force, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, and rubbing. At this time, the inner breath was turbid and it was about to fall down.
At this time, Xiao Feng showed his extraordinary skills, took a deep breath, and when his body was falling, he used his skills to insert his fingers into the wall and inserted a small hole.
Then he used the force to leverage upwards, his body fell down, and he had already arrived on the city.
Seeing that there were not many soldiers on the city wall, Xiao Feng thought he would never have expected someone to enter the city at this time.
Xiao Feng put down the thick rope and his personal soldiers went down in sequence.
Xiao Feng led his personal soldiers to find a hidden place and said: I will visit the enemy first, please be careful.I will inform you later.
Xiao Feng found that Huang Taishu, King Chu and others must be in the palace, and they will start their bodies and gallop towards the palace.
Xiao Feng is usually in charge of the palace guards and is very familiar with the situation of the palace.
He looked around and hit somewhere on the wall three times in the corner, one heavy and two light.
There were also sounds of knocking on the nearby walls, but it was three-fold and one light. Xiao Feng was overjoyed and knocked out one long and one short.
Xiao Feng began to prepare for the rebellion of the King of Chu according to the advance arrangement.
