The capital city of Liao Dynasty, located in the north of Tianhe River and south of the capital of Daqin emperor, was an important city in the north of Daqin empire. After the Liao conquered the capital of Daqin, under the pressure of Jin and Mongolian, they did not occupy the capital by force, and regarded the capital as the dividing line of the territory of the three ethnic groups. However, as the first army to capture the imperial capital, the Liao people plundered a lot of property and manpower from the capital. After the end of the war, the Liao nationality established its capital in the capital city of Liao. With the financial and human resources plundered from the capital of the Qin Dynasty, the Liao capital was built into a capital not inferior to that of the capital of the Qin Dynasty.
The most important place is not only in the Liao City, but also in the Liao City!
The military academy, as the governor's command post of the Liao army, is much more powerful than the military department, although its nature is roughly the same as that of the military department in the Han Dynasty. The power of the military academy is divided into three parts: the commander, the governor and the commander in chief. The commander of the General Academy is the highest commander of the military academy and is only responsible to the king of the Liao nationality. He has always been the most trusted person of the Liao royal family. The current commander of the General Academy is Yelu Xiuze, the uncle of the Liao king yeluqing.
The governor is a military academy official directly subordinate to the commander of the general hospital. He is mainly responsible for reviewing all military affairs of the Liao nationality, selecting important information and transferring it to the commander of the general hospital for approval. It can be said that the governor is a powerful official in the military academy. Naturally, such an official position will not be arbitrarily assigned.
As for the commander-in-chief, he is the executive officer of the military academy's orders. He is responsible for transmitting and executing the orders issued by the commander and the commander in chief of the military academy. Of course, this commander-in-chief did not do everything personally. Under the commander-in-chief envoy's account, there were several special envoys working for the commander-in-chief. It was these envoys who distributed the orders to the major armies of the Liao nationality and supervised the execution of the orders.
In a word, the Military Academy of the Liao nationality, as the command department of the Liao army, has strict division of power and rank. From top to bottom, the military academy tightly controlled the Liao nationality's * * in the hands of the Liao royal family and served the Liao royal family. At the same time, we should give full play to the strength of the Liao army to ensure its strength.
Among them, one of the officers in the middle level of the Liao people's army is the xiao'an army. Although his surname is Xiao, he is not a member of the Liao aristocracy. He was born in a poor family. Now he is only 41 years old and can become a military envoy in the Military Academy of the Liao nationality. Xiao Xun was a reclusive man, and he worked conscientiously in his position every day. Even the most severe official of Liao nationality could not find any fault with him. It was because of this that Xiao Long was highly valued by Yelv Xiuze, the head of the military academy and commander-in-chief. There are also rumors in the military academies that when the current commander-in-chief envoy retires a few years later and takes over the post of commander-in-chief, he will become Xiao Long.
However, Xiao Long, as the party concerned, refused to comment on the rumor and worked hard every day. This kind of work attitude made those military academy officials who were still somewhat jealous had nothing to say.
But these days, Xiao Long is also very busy, for nothing else. A few days ago, Yelu Guangyan, the great prince of Liao nationality, returned to Liao capital with his army, which can be said to have brought a great disturbance to the Liao people. Originally, this time, the Liao nationality held a large army to the south, which was impossible to have any accident, and was sure to win. However, it never occurred to me that a total of 350000 Liao people's army did not even fight down a city in the state of Qin, so they retreated.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, yeluguangyan was summoned by the king yeluqing and scolded him severely. Then he was locked up in yeluguangyan's own residence and is not allowed to come out. And Yelv Guangyan made a mess, of course, the military academy to wipe his ass. In recent days, the envoys of Xiaolong and other military academies frequently went to and from the barracks to check on the losses of the army that had been sent to the south.
However, there was little loss in the soldiers of the southern expedition. After counting these days, less than 40000 people were lost, and the main force of the Liao army was still kept. However, the biggest loss was in food and grass. The most important factor in the defeat of Yelv Guangyan this time was that the army had to withdraw because of the burning of grain and grass. This time, in order to support the Liao army's southward expedition, the Liao people concentrated most of their grain and grass to the Liao army. This fire really burned half of the food and grass in Thailand. In the next few years, the Liao people would have to worry about the food and grass for a long time.
After a busy day, Xiao Long rushed back to his residence from the military academy. Just after stepping into the gate of the mansion, the servant who had been guarding the gate of the mansion immediately stepped forward and worshipped Xiao Long, and said respectfully, "my Lord! A few people came to visit just now. They said that they were old acquaintances of adults. They came to visit them when they had something important to do. The villains dare not neglect. They are arranged to wait for adults in the reception hall! "
"Old acquaintance?" Xiao Long's face showed a trace of doubt. Although he was a high-ranking official in the Liao official circles, he did not have many friends because of his low-key behavior. The old acquaintance in the servant's mouth, however, made Xiao Long a little confused and could not think of anyone. After Xiao Long couldn't think of his mind, he simply didn't want to think about it. Anyway, people were waiting in the house. What kind of person was it? Just meet them.
At that time, Xiao Long just nodded, and then he directly raised his legs and walked towards the mansion. This is his residence. Naturally, he did not need to be led by anyone. He went to the reception hall in the mansion himself. When they came to the door of the reception hall, the door of the hall opened wide. Two maids were ready to deliver tea to them. When they saw Xiao Long, the maid saluted Xiao Long and called out, "see you, my Lord!"Xiao Long just waved his hand at will, and he stepped into the reception hall. However, because of the two maids, some people in the reception hall already knew that Xiao Long was coming. However, they did not get up to meet the master like ordinary guests. Instead, they still sat in their seats and looked up at Xiao Long who entered the meeting room.
On the other hand, after stepping into the reception hall, when he saw the people in the hall, he couldn't help being stunned. He didn't look angry because of the other party's rudeness. There were three people sitting in the reception hall. It was Tuoba Haotian, a Yechang and another Han who came to the capital of Liao from Xia nationality.
At the moment when Xiao Xun saw Tuoba Haotian, a little surprise flashed in his eyes, but he soon recovered his normal color. As for the Tuoba Haotian, he took the change of Xiao Long's expression into his eyes, but he didn't explain it. Instead, he gave him a smile and said to him, "Lord Xiao, I haven't seen you for several years, but Lord Xiao seems to have been reduced!"
Xiao Long, as usual, looked indifferent and nodded. If it wasn't for the change of that moment, I'm afraid we can't see the difference between him and usual. Immediately, Xiao Long waved his hand to the maid who came in after him, and asked them to serve the tea, and then he retreated. When the maids left, Xiao Long waited for a while, making sure that no one was passing by, then he quickly walked to the hall door and closed the door tightly. Then he attached his ear to the door. After listening for a while, he felt relieved. Then he turned around and walked to Tuoba Haotian. He knelt down and said, "subordinate, go to Lilian tree! See the prince
However, Xiao long did not accept any kind of action. After Xiao Long had worshipped for three times, he waved his hand gently and said, "general Xiangli, please do not salute me! The general has worked hard in the capital of Liao for years! "
"No! These are all the things of his subordinates! To be able to serve for the prince is a great honor to Lilian tree, even if his subordinates are crushed to pieces, they will not hesitate to do so! " After hearing Tuoba Haotian's words, Xiao Xun got up from the ground, but did not change his previous respect. Instead, he put his hands on his chest, bent his upper body slightly forward, and stood in front of Tuoba Haotian to the right.
That's right! Xiao Long, a rising star in the Liao official field and the most promising military envoy in the military academy, is one of the spies sent by Xia nationality to Liao nationality ten years ago! And Xiao Long's real name is to Lilian tree! The Xiang Li family is not an ordinary surname. Among the Xia people, the Xiang Li family is one of the eight branches of the Xia nationality, and is an important member of the high-level of the Xia nationality.
There are only two surnames of Yelu and Xiao, which are different from those of Liao nationality. The eight surnames of eight branches of Xia nationality represent the ruling class of Xia nationality. However, the common people of Xia nationality have no surname but name like a Yechang who is close to Tuoba Haotian. Xia nationality is a nation built around the eight tribes of Xia nationality.
Since Xiang Lilian tree is a member of the eight tribes of the Xia nationality, he will not be an ordinary spy. In fact, Xiang lilianshu was a rare young hero in the eight tribes of the Xia nationality. He became a senior officer in the Xia army at a young age. However, because of his outstanding talent, he was also selected as one of the spies sent by Xia nationality to Liao nationality ten years ago. In the past ten years, Xiang lilianshu, with his talent and a false identity, became the leader of Xia spies in Liao capital.
This time Tuoba Hao came to Liao capital to meet these spies secretly. Naturally, he had to go to lilianshu first. Moreover, the special identity of Xiang lilianshu in the military academy can also provide good help for Tuoba Haotian's operation. Therefore, as soon as Tuoba Haotian arrived in the capital of Liao Dynasty, their first goal was to find the residence of Li Lianshu and discuss how to carry out the next step.
