Chapter 470 Great Change
"Do you think that because you are the prince's consort, I will not dare to kill you? I am the regent, and you colluded with me to rebel against the king, causing me to lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. This is an unpardonable crime! Come on, drag me down and show you in front of all the soldiers. "I will be executed in front of you!" Yelu Yixin said coldly.
Xiao Xiamo was not only a member of the Empress Dowager Xiao's clan, but also the son-in-law of the Empress Dowager Xiao. If he returned to Beijing to plead guilty, the Empress Dowager Xiao would protect him.
"The regent is only a king, not your majesty. I am a general. The regent does not have the right to execute me!" Xiao Xiamo stood up and sneered.
"See if this king has this right!"
Yelu Zhongyuan shouted: "Come here!"
Xiao Xiamo controlled many soldiers and horses, and Yelu Yixin had long wanted to get rid of him.
What's more, he suspected that Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Zhongyuan secretly colluded in this incident.
Not only did he want to get rid of Xiao Xiamo, he also wanted to settle the score with Empress Dowager Xiao when he returned to Beijing.
More than a dozen soldiers rushed outside the tent and surrounded Xiao Xiamo.
"You dare!"
Xiao Xiamo and several generals around him stood up and glared at Yelu Yixin.
"Yelu Yixin, don't forget. I have 40,000 troops in the city now. If you dare to touch me, it will definitely cause chaos. If Yelu Zhongyuan comes over, you will not be in good hands." Xiao Xia Mo shouted.
"Do you think I am a fool? That bitch colluded with Yelu Zhongyuan, just to use him to weaken my strength. I am really going to die, can she stop Yelu Zhongyuan?" Yelu Yixin sneered.
He was not afraid that Yelu Zhongyuan would lead troops to attack the city at all. Yelu Zhongyuan would not have many troops and horses near Shuofang City at this time. Otherwise, he would not have lost only so many troops and horses in the sneak attack a few days ago.
Empress Dowager Xiao calculated well, not only causing him a lot of losses, but also not wanting him to lose too much.
In this way, Queen Mother Xiao can slowly take control of the initiative.
On the contrary, once he suffered serious losses, Yelu Zhongyuan would counterattack.
For Empress Dowager Xiao, whether it was Yelu Zhongyuan or Yelu Yixin taking control of the situation, it would not be a good thing for her.
"You are so brave..."
"Puff..."
Xiao Xia Mo looked down at the knife that passed through her body and was stained red with blood, and turned her head in disbelief.
"You...you..."
Xiao Xiamo raised her finger and pointed at the person behind her, her eyes slowly losing their luster.
"You didn't expect that some of the people around you were bribed by me!" Yelu Yixin sneered.
Xiao Xiamo was Empress Dowager Xiao's son-in-law or a clan member, so he couldn't be bribed. Yelu Yixin had no choice but to take advantage of him.
Xiao Xia was so cautious that she arranged for people to cooperate with Yelu Zhongyuan's people to form a camp. She chose her confidants and only told him one person.
Otherwise, Yelu Yixin would have known about it before he took action.
The remaining generals under Xiao Xiamo were confused at this time and didn't know what to do.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. The Queen Mother colluded with Yelu Zhongyuan to kill the late emperor, and now she wants to harm me. As long as you abandon the secret and turn to the light, I will forget the past." Yelu Yixin said.
Several people showed hesitation. Naturally they didn't believe what Yelu Yixin said, but Xiao Xiamo was already dead at this time, so what could they use to resist?
After hesitating for a long time, one person dropped the weapon in his hand, knelt down on one knee and said: "The general is willing to follow the regent!"
When the others saw this, they also dropped their weapons and knelt down.
"The general is willing to follow the regent!"
"Hahaha..."
Yelu Yixin laughed loudly and said: "The Queen Mother plotted to kill the late Emperor, control His Majesty, and vainly want to take charge of the government! Everyone, rectify your troops and horses, follow me back to the capital, avenge the late Emperor, and rescue Your Majesty!"
"Yes!"
Yelu Chongyuan spent two days arranging his troops and headed for Shangjing with more than 100,000 troops and horses.
Although his losses were considerable, after annexing Xiao Xiamo's troops, he still had more than 100,000 troops and almost no losses.
In order not to arouse the alarm of Empress Dowager Xiao, he sent people back to Beijing to say that he had suffered a huge defeat and suffered heavy losses, so he had no choice but to return to the court.
Along the way, no troops or horses were deployed anywhere. …………
Shangjing
Empress Dowager Xiao was very happy to learn that Yelu Yixin had suffered a lot of losses.
However, she was not happy for long before she received the news that Master Yelu Yixin had returned to the court.
What's more important is that she didn't receive Xiao Xiamo's letter.
According to the agreement between her and Xiao Xiamo, a letter must be sent back every day.
But she hasn't received a letter from Xiao Xiamo since yesterday, which makes her very uneasy.
Empress Dowager Xiao sent someone to inquire about the news, but she never returned.
"No, Yelu Yixin must want to attack me!"
Empress Dowager Xiao actually knew that once she took action, Yelu Yixin would definitely be able to guess something. She was betting that Yelu Yixin would not dare to fall out with her until Yelu Zhongyuan was solved.
Now it seems that she made a wrong bet, Yelu Yixin is ready to fall out, and Xiao Xiamo's side is probably in danger.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
Empress Dowager Xiao was decisive and immediately summoned her brother Xiao Asu, who was the envoy of the Southern Privy Council. After some discussion, Xiao Asu left in a hurry.
That night, there was chaos in Shangjing City. By daybreak, Xiao Asu had already eliminated those generals who were loyal to Yelu Yixin and completely took control of Shangjing City.
Yelu Yixin left Shangjing and took many soldiers and horses with him, leaving only 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city.
Empress Dowager Xiao's side, including the Imperial Army, only had 50,000 troops.
The reason why they were quickly put down was because these people had no defense at all.
In the morning of the next day, Yelu Yixin sent back to inform his confidants and arrived outside Shangjing City. When they saw the gate of Shangjing City was closed, the people who sent the message also knew that a big change had occurred in the city, so they quickly went back to report to Yelu Yixin.
After Yelu Yixin learned about it, he no longer hid it and sent people to mobilize troops to go to Shangjing.
Empress Dowager Xiao was also mobilizing troops and horses, and at the same time sent someone to send a message to Yelu Chongyuan.
There was such a big movement in the Liao Kingdom. The British Duke quickly received the news and sent a letter back to Bianjing, asking Zhao Xing for instructions on how to deal with it.
…………
Bianjing
Through the news that came one after another, Zhao Xing also roughly knew the reason for Yelu Yixin's defeat.
After receiving the news from the British father, I pondered for a long time and decided to sit back and watch.
When Empress Dowager Xiao fought with Yelu Yixin, no matter who won, the losses would be considerable. This also smoothed the relationship with Yelu Zhongyuan in disguise.
And maybe Yelu Zhongyuan will also get involved, which will cause even more chaos.
Da Song's interference would make it impossible for the two sides to fight.
Zhao Xing thought well, but the development of things was far beyond his expectation, but he didn't know it yet.
…………
Above the grassland
After Yelu Chongyuan learned that Yelu Yixin had withdrawn his troops, he celebrated happily.
Although Yelu Yixin suffered little loss, this victory temporarily stabilized his people's hearts.
While Yelu Zhongyuan was happy, he also felt very regretful.
Queen Mother Xiao told him that when Yelu Yixin sent troops, someone would contact him to cooperate with him in a sneak attack.
However, Yelu Chongyuan was worried that this was a trap and did not dare to send too many troops.
If he sends more troops and horses and destroys Yelu Yixin's 200,000 troops in one fell swoop, he can counterattack.
In fact, Queen Mother Xiao knew this and dared to contact Yelu Chongyuan.
Yelu Chongyuan did not regret it for long before he received news of great changes in the Liao Kingdom.
