Chapter 234, The Lost Dog

Just when Zhao Jiong and Yelu Sha were fighting on the banks of the Sorghum River, Yelu Xiuge was leading the main force of the Liao army to gallop towards the Sorghum River.

That night, Jerushuge ordered his soldiers to cut down bushes by the roadside and tie them into broomsticks and tie them behind their saddles. Then the horses galloped back and forth, kicking up the dust. At the same time, he ordered all the soldiers to carry two torches to make the march farther. Makes it impossible for the enemy to judge their true numbers.

At this time, Zhao Jiong's army was making a final rest on the banks of the Gaoliang River, and early tomorrow morning, they would set off to return to the Song Realm.

It's a pity that this night may not be so easy to pass.

"Report, a large force of Liao soldiers was found in the southeast." The spies in front rushed to Zhao Jiong's tent late at night to report.

Zhao Jiong was immediately shocked, he didn't expect that after he had just beaten Yelusha to the ground, there would be a large number of Liao soldiers coming so soon. Could it really be that the main force of the Liao army is coming?

"How many of them came?" Zhao Jiong asked anxiously.

"Because it was getting late, the little ones didn't see their numbers. But the number of torches that came out of their hands should be 100,000! The spy replied truthfully.

"100,000?" Zhao Jiong couldn't believe it at all, so he repeatedly confirmed with the spies.

"Yes, the little one saw the Liao soldiers at the foot of the mountain galloping towards this side on horseback from a distance on the top of the mountain, the sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and the dust raised was flying all over the sky, even I could feel it on the mountain!"

This can make Zhao Jiong completely lose his square inch. He originally planned to leave for the Song Realm early tomorrow morning, but now the sudden arrival of the main force of the Liao army made his plan suddenly disrupted. He knew that if the spies' report was true, the main force of the Liao army would arrive on the banks of the Gaoliang River in less than two hours. And then there will inevitably be a fierce battle. Whether it is a win or a loss, no one knows.

But now that the facts are in front of him, he has to face them. So he immediately ordered the three armies to line up and prepare for battle.

However, because it was too hasty, except for the soldiers in charge of patrolling and guarding, most of the Song soldiers had already fallen asleep. So it's not so easy to call up.

And just when the Song army was panicking and lined up. Yelu Hugo had already led the left-wing troops to the Song camp first. The unformed queue of the Song army was rushed into several sections.

The Song army was in chaos. They had already fought a life-and-death battle with Jerusha's troops during the day, and their bodies were already weak. At night, I was just about to rest for a while, but Yelu Hugo was killed at this time.

So. Everywhere the Liao army went, there were swords and swords everywhere, and horses' hooves were flying. Before many Song soldiers could fully react, they were already in a different place.

Such a ferocious offensive made the Song army like a frightened bird. The general's orders no longer worked, and the soldiers scattered and began to flee for their lives. Even the guards who protected Zhao Jiong ignored the emperor's comfort and fled for their lives. In the end, the only people who stayed by Zhao Jiong's side were Yu Xiaohai and Fan Xiaobao and a few of the most loyal people.

If these people are allowed to protect Zhao Jiong to escape, it is not impossible. However, just as they were about to escort Zhao Jiong to sneak away, Yelu Hugo discovered the location of Zhao Jiong's Chinese army tent. So he immediately commanded a team of cavalry to outflank him, wanting to capture Zhao Jiong alive and create the greatest miracle in the history of the Liao and Song wars.

However, Yu Xiaohai and Fan Xiaobao and others are not idle. They are all excellent in martial arts. has the courage of ten thousand people.

Even in such a critical moment, they were able to do their best. Blocking left and killing right, he broke through a bloody road in the encirclement of the Liao army, and escorted Zhao Jiong to escape.

However, unfortunately, when Zhao Jiong escaped, he was hit by two arrows in the buttocks. But at this time, where can he manage so much, at this critical moment, of course, it is more important to run for his life. So he didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, so he fled due south.

Because it was too dark, and he was in a panic, he couldn't distinguish things, so Zhao Jiong naturally ran away with Yu Xiaohai and them.

He looked around, the night was as dark as water, and he didn't know the east, south, west, and north. Although the grassland was full of Song soldiers fleeing in all directions, at this moment, no one could recognize him as the dignified Emperor Zhao Jiong. He suddenly felt like a lost dog.

But even so, he still can't give up. He is the emperor of a country, and if even he gives up, won't the country perish at any time? Although his original intention of becoming emperor in the first place was definitely not to fight for supreme power, nor to treat the people well. For him, he only wanted to get a woman by being the emperor. And now, he almost lost his life in order to get this woman. Does he regret it? Maybe there is a trace of regret. But he by no means regretted that he didn't care about this woman, but regretted that he thought too highly of himself and took it too lightly.

He knew that the actual owner of the Great Liao Kingdom was the woman he had in mind, and she was so arrogant, if he couldn't make her take the initiative to convince her like a hero, then he would never be able to get her heart.

It's just that after so many years, he still underestimated her political and military attainments too much. Maybe it's because of machismo, but in his eyes, a woman's politics is an effect. So over the years, he has never regarded her as an opponent, he thought she was still the innocent, romantic and stubborn girl she used to be. But in fact, she is no longer there. Whether it is Yeluxian's deliberate cultivation over the years, or her own diligence and studiousness, she has slowly transformed into the woman she is now killing and killing.

Looking at the dark night sky, he suddenly missed her, missed her smile like a flower, and missed her innocence and stubbornness. All the bits and pieces of the past came to his heart. He was nostalgic, because he really couldn't accept her current transformation and his own failure.

He wanted to stand in front of her and ask her loudly why she was the way she was. But if they really meet again, will he still have the courage to ask this sentence?

Thinking about it, he suddenly became a little envious of Yeluxian. Since the third year of his ascension to the throne, he handed over all the qiē to her, letting her take care of national affairs for herself, and also teach her husband and children for herself.

Those things that he used to think about, in the eyes of others, can be obtained in a flash.

Come to think of it, it's also fate. I am fortunate to have it, but I am not killed. That's all. And he and her, maybe this is the only way in this life. (To be continued.) )
