The news that the city of Nanjing was besieged by the Song army was soon sent to Yan'er by the flying horse envoy.

The arrival of this military situation undoubtedly cast a shadow on Yan'er's heart. In the past few years, she knows too well what this news represents.

Now that the Northern Han Dynasty no longer existed, the relationship between the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty changed abruptly overnight. The most pressing question before her now is whether she can continue to control Nanjing and even the entire Nanjing region as she did before without the response of the Northern Han Dynasty.

In her view, the Nanjing region, which was part of the land of Yanyun, was included in the territory of the Liao State in the early years of the Jin Dynasty after the Fifth Dynasty, although it played the role of a bridgehead and outpost in the military confrontation with the Central Plains, and the Nanjing area became the main source of financial taxes for the Liao State with its abundant products. However, Nanjing was too far away from Shangjing, and every time there was a war, the main force of the Liao army had to travel long distances to attack day and night. Therefore, often before the battle is fought, more than half of the army's spirit has been lost.

The key point is that although the Nanjing area has belonged to the Liao State for many years, the Han officials and generals here still have their hearts attached to the Central Plains. Especially the people here, they regard Song Jun as their savior. When the Song army came, not only did the strong men act as guides for them, but the people were even more willing to sacrifice wine and meat to comfort them. What's more, some bold people even organized small armed forces to seize the Liao army and the horses of the government and give them to the Song army.

Therefore, when it comes to entrenchment or abandonment of the Nanjing area. Two diametrically opposed opinions have been formed. Some of them believed that only by taking the initiative to abandon Nanjing and shrink and defend could the security of the rest of the Liao State be ensured. while others advocated continuing to hold on to Nanjing.

The propositions of the two factions made Yan'er's heart turn even more. But she couldn't back down. Right now, Yeluxian's health is getting worse and worse. If she can't carry this banner alone, then the world of Daliao will really be in danger.

She wandered across the hall with a sad face, trying to find the best of both worlds.

Fortunately, in the past few years, the political experience of the auxiliary government has allowed her to finally brew in the complicated opinions of the ministers (5) dǐng (5) diǎn (5) small (5) said, .□.∨os_ (); came up with a strategy that could not only keep the land of Nanjing under the current situation, but also retreat from the enemy and relieve the siege of Nanjing.

"We Khitan people have always been known for our tenacity and good at riding and archery. True, our steppe is so vast that there is an inexhaustible supply of good horses on it. But we can't just settle for a corner of the world. Nanjing's soil is fertile and beautiful, and its products are abundant. Since Emperor Taizong. Imperial Treasury. Most of them were contributed by the Nanjing area. Moreover, Nanjing was the screen domain before our confrontation with the Song State. Once we discard it, we're throwing away decades of business. And it will also be ridiculed, how can we face our ancestors and ancestors who are buried in the ground? Yan'er said righteously.

Yan'er's words were straightforward, and her attitude was very clear. And her insistence on holding Nanjing has inspired many civil and military ministers. Even Ye Luxian couldn't help but praise it.

"What the queen said is not unreasonable. I don't know how the queen is in such a predicament. What's the solution? Yeluxian asked with a happy face.

At this time, Yan'er is already in her chest and the overall situation is in her hands. I saw her slowly take a step forward. Then he said: "Back to the emperor, the concubines thought that the premise of retreating from the enemy was to stick to Nanjing, and only by holding Nanjing could we arouse the fighting spirit of our army's soldiers." Although now the Song army is far superior to our army in terms of the number of soldiers and morale. But as the saying goes, the proud soldiers will be defeated, and the mourning soldiers will be victorious! Moreover, Nanjing is our territory, and the Song army has traveled a long distance and driven straight in, so the grain, grass and supplies will inevitably be insufficient, and it will be difficult to fight for a long time. As long as we adapt measures to local conditions and use troops to obtain the law, the siege of Nanjing will certainly be resolved. ”

"Good! Since the queen has such confidence, then don't worry to do it boldly! Ye Luxian was very satisfied with Yan'er's appearance.

Yan'er got Yeluxian's permission and soon began to implement her plan. She sent envoys to Nanjing overnight with her handwritten letters to encourage and comfort the soldiers who defended the city. At the same time, she appointed Han Derang, who was in the city of Nanjing, to stay in Nanjing, and led the Nanjing officials and soldiers to resist to the death and wait for help.

In fact, in addition to the one led by Yelusha, who was originally preparing to rescue the Northern Han Dynasty, there were two other troops and horses in the army stationed in the Nanjing area. The first is the army led by the Yelu Oblique Clinic, which had engaged the Song army and retreated to the north of the Qingsha River. The other is an army commanded by Yelu Xuegu to respond between Nanjing City and Songting Pass. So, Yan'er immediately ordered Yelu Xuegu to rush to Nanjing nearby.

Subsequently, she selected 5,000 soldiers from the most elite army of the Liao State to form an expeditionary force to rescue Nanjing. These soldiers were brave and skilled in battle, and they were each equipped with the best horses and weapons.

However, when all this is in place, there is still a crucial question that remains unresolved, and that is who will actually command the army.

Just when Yan'er was hesitating, a person came out of the military attache and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The last general, Yelu Hugh, is not talented, and he is willing to lead the army to kill and retreat the Song soldiers!" ”

Brother Yeluxiu's name has been heard a lot by Yan'er in the past few years, and she has heard that this person is brave and good at fighting and has made countless meritorious contributions. It's a pity that because this person has been working in Nanjing all the year round, Yan'er has never seen him.

But at this time, when she saw the face of Brother Yelu Xiu, she was suddenly shocked - the person in front of her was clearly Han Deyuan, Han Derang's eldest brother!

Although she had only met Han Deyuan a few times, she could still conclude that the person in front of her was definitely Han Deyuan! But wasn't he kicked out of the Han family back then? How could it be here now? How did he become a general who can fight well?

Yelu Hugo also sensed that Yan'er might have recognized him, so he admitted calmly: "As the queen thought, Weichen's original surname is Han, and his name is the source. Due to changes in his family, he left home to join the army. After breaking away from the Han family and setting up his own door, he changed his current name. ”

"I see, but are you really sure that you can lead our people to repel the Song army? This is no joke! In Yan'er's memory, although Han Deyuan knows martial arts, he is not a master who can fight well. So she was still a little worried at this time.

Yelu Hugh kowtowed again: "Please rest assured, if you don't retreat from the Song army this time, then the general will come to see you!" The words were sonorous and loud.

Seeing that Yelu Hugo was so confident, Yan'er finally dispelled the doubts in her heart, so she appointed Yelu Hugo as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force that rescued Nanjing.
