Lu Xiaoxian knew very well in his heart that although the night attack was fatal to the Great Zhou Rear Army, the situation was not easy to control for the Khitans, and it would definitely increase casualties. With Mr. Wang by Sun Wanrong's side, he would never do such a risky move that would not outweigh the losses.

As long as they can get fifty miles out of a one-night march, they are basically in a safe place. As long as you return to Youzhou, you will be completely safe.

Of course, retreating at night is not like a headless fly, but it is still necessary to make some necessary preparations. Otherwise, as Yan Bandit Shi said, it would be too risky.

It was unusually fast to get dark, and the preparations were not yet sufficient, and it was already painted on all sides.

Li Duozuo sent scouts to explore the way, and led the soldiers to set off.

Bold decision-making, cautious, scouts scattered far away, especially cautious all the way, leading the rear army south. Unexpectedly, the Khitan did not make the slightest move, not even the movement of sending light cavalry to monitor and harass, Lu Xiaoxian was really surprised, but let him make preparations for the Khitan sneak attack in vain.

……

Lu Xiaoxian was indeed too worried, and the Khitans had no intention of destroying this chicken-like rear army at all. Just when the rear army was cautiously retreating at night, Sun Wanrong had already held a celebration banquet in the Governor's Mansion of Yingzhou City.

Li Quanzhong, who has never come forward, is sitting on the sweat seat at the moment, I don't know if his body has not recovered yet, or because he has become a spectator because of the Khitan victory, Li Quanzhong's face looks ugly.

Although Sun Wanrong was still as respectful to Li Quanzhong as before, all the chiefs knew in their hearts that Sun Wanrong's prestige had become superior.

Of course, in addition to the secret competition between Sun Wanrong and Li Quanzhong, the real protagonist is Mr. Wang. The Khitans organized two beautiful ambushes and annihilated more than 100,000 Zhou troops at a very small cost, relying on Mr. Wang's smooth planning and command. This is not only for all the Khitan chieftains and generals, but also for the Tunyu Valley and Ashina Jingliu.

After two big victories in a row, if someone else's tail had been changed, it would have already been raised to the sky. But Mr. Wang is no different from the past, he is still calm and breezy. Ouyang Jian and Tang Qian, who had disappeared for a long time, didn't know when they returned to Yingzhou City, and they still followed Mr. Wang as before.

During the banquet, Tunyugu took the opportunity of toasting and tested Mr. Wang many times. Mr. Wang coped very decently, and drank a lot of wine from Lust Valley, but he didn't get anything useful.

At this moment, Li Qianzhong, who had not spoken, suddenly fainted.

Everyone immediately panicked, Li Kaigu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly sent Li Qianzhong back to the backyard.

Lust Valley and Ashina Jingliu glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of worry on each other's faces.

……

The backyard of the Governor's Mansion of Yingzhou City, which is now the sweat tent of Li Quanzhong, the supreme Khan of Khitan.

As the Khitan Khan, Li Quanzhong was already guarding the camp, but at this time, the garrison around the Khan tent was significantly strengthened, and these people were Li Qianzhong and Li Kaigu's personal soldiers.

At this moment, the expressions of the pro-soldiers were as serious as their dead parents.

The atmosphere in the sweat tent was extremely calm, and from time to time there was a moan, which was Li Qianzhong's wail. I don't know how long it lasted, but with a high-pitched cry of pain, the movement finally subsided.

Lying on a bed with a soft fur, Li Qianzhong seemed to have been fished out of a pond, sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his mouth was panting.

The naked abdomen was a shocking knife wound, and a doctor removed the carrion from the wound for him, and then applied medicine to wrap Li Qianzhong like a Zongzi.

After being busy for a while, the subordinates cleaned up the mess and gave Li Qianzhong a quiet environment.

The door was pushed open, and Sun Wanrong walked in with the wind.

Li Kaigu saw Sun Wanrong coming into the house, and hurriedly got up to give a salute.

Sun Wanrong nodded, and when he reached Li Qianzhong's side, seeing his tragic condition, he frowned and asked, "How is Khan's injury?" ”

It was the Khitan witch doctor who treated Li Quanzhong's injuries, and he met Sun Wanrong's vicious eyes and replied worriedly: "Back to Dashuai, the Khan's wound has been treated, but the injury is very serious, I am afraid that I will not be able to lead the troops to fight in the future......"

"Go out and wait outside!" As he spoke, Sun Wanrong gave the witch doctor a suggestive look.

The witch doctor answered, turned and walked out of the house.

"Sun Dashuai is here!" Hearing Sun Wanrong's question, Li Quanzhong, who was originally like a dead dog, moved, opened his eyes, called weakly, and ordered the guards to move a chair: "Sit!" ”

In the past, Li Qianzhong generally called Sun Wanrong "Brother Sun", and it was the first time to call him "Sun Dashuai" at this moment. Of course, Sun Wanrong knew that Li Quanzhong was already wary of himself. But he pretended not to know, his face was moved, and he bowed to Li Qianzhong and said: "Thank you Khan for your trust, and please ask the Khan to recuperate with peace of mind, the sons and daughters of the Khitan tribes are still waiting for the Khan to lead us and conquer the Great Zhou!" ”

Listening to Sun Wanrong's words, Li Qianzhong's eyes overflowed with a little expectation, and then covered it up.

Shaking his eyes and looking at Sun Wanrong, his voice was full of exhaustion: "With you Sun Dashuai sitting in the formation, I am not the same." ”

Sun Wanrong looked panicked, and was about to answer, but was stopped by Li Qianzhong waving his hand: "I'm not polite to you, as long as it's for the good of our Khitan, it doesn't matter if you or I sit in the formation!" ”

Not to mention what Li Quanzhong thought in his heart, but what he said was from the heart, it is true that there is a gap between Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong, but they are all thinking about the future of the Khitan, and they are the same on this point.

"In your opinion, what should our army do next?" Li Qianzhong asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Sun Wanrong thought about it for a while, and then he said: "Take advantage of the victory in Huangzhang Valley and fight another battle with the Great Zhou, if you can win the battle, only the Youyan Zhou army will be difficult to control my Khitan." Our army may take the opportunity to break through the blockade of Youzhou and directly enter the hinterland of Hebei! ”

"Not bad!" A rare smile appeared on Li Qianzhong's face, "I really didn't misunderstand you!" ”

Sun Wanrong was about to be humble, but he heard Li Qianzhong's voice change and said, "However, there is one thing you must think of in advance!" ”

"Khan, please!" Sun Wanrong said with a straight face.

"You must beware of the Turks!" Li Qianzhong said word by word.

"Beware of the Turks?" Sun Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, he knew what Li Quanzhong was worried about.

"Khan, are you overthinking?" Sun Wanrong persuaded, "The Turks are now like grasshoppers on a fly with us, and we are in a cooperative relationship, so why should we be wary of them? ”

"We originally surrendered to the Great Zhou, aren't we also the opposite? Now we are in partnership with the Turks, but we may become enemies one day! ”

Sun Wanrong was silent.

Li Qianzhong sighed and said: "The Khitan is between the Great Zhou and the Turks, if we

After defeating the Great Zhou and then breaking through Youzhou and entering Hebei, the Song Desert and Yingzhou became empty places. If the Turks stab us in the back, then the Khitan will be finished, and you can't help but think about the consequences! ”

Listening to Li Qianzhong's words, Sun Wanrong couldn't help but gasp.

Although he did not believe that the Turks would do such a treacherous thing, if such a thing happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Sun Wanrong asked: "Then according to the Khan's wishes, how should we deal with it?" ”

"I've been thinking about this for a long time!" Li Quanzhong did not hide it, and said bluntly, "The Han people have a story called the Three Caves of Cunning, which is very reasonable. It is best to build a new city in secret outside of Songmo Mansion and Yingzhou City as our rear. Then, send a general to guard the town and make sure that there is no danger before marching. ”

Li Qianzhong's words were very reasonable, but Sun Wanrong was a little hesitant. If you really want to do this, you will divide your troops, part of the troops will fight a decisive battle with the Great Zhou, and the other part will build and defend the new city. However, he only has a total of less than 50,000 troops in his hands, which is already a bit stretched.

Seeing that Sun Wanrong was silent, Li Quanzhong was a little disappointed but helpless, so he had to cover it up and said: "Sun Dashuai, think about this matter again, I'm tired and want to rest for a while!" ”

Li Quanzhong gave an eviction order, of course Sun Wanrong couldn't stay cheeky anymore, so he had to salute: "Khan, you have to take care of your health, I will retire!" ”

Out of the house, the witch doctor was standing respectfully outside the house.

Sun Wanrong beckoned to the witch doctor, and the witch doctor hurried over.

"What happened to Khan's injuries?" Sun Wanrong asked in a low voice.

"This ......" The witch doctor was a little embarrassed, and did not know how to answer.

Sun Wanrong's face sank, and he said coldly: "I want to listen to the truth, you have to use lies to perfunctory Ben Shuai, don't blame Ben Shuai for being polite!" ”

Listening to Sun Wanrong's vicious warning, the witch doctor couldn't help but tremble, and said tremblingly: "Report to the commander, if it was an ordinary knife wound, it would have been cured a long time ago." But Khan's wounds are contaminated with poison, and this poison has spread to his body, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky! ”

Fang Hatshui's assassination of Li Quanzhong was seen by Sun Wanrong with his own eyes, and it seems that Fang Hatshui's knife was coated with poison.

Sun Wanrong nodded, and asked again: "In your opinion, how long can the Khan last?" ”

The witch doctor pondered, "A month at most!" ”

"Who did you tell about this?"

The witch doctor secretly glanced at Sun Wanrong and whispered: "This matter is too big, no one has talked about it, and Da Shuai is the first to know!" ”

"It's rotting in your belly, and if anyone knows about it, I'll chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

Sun Wanrong turned around and left with the next cruel sentence, leaving only the frightened witch doctor on the spot.

Inside the house, Li Kaigu looked at Li Qianzhong with a worried face.

It's only been more than a month, and Li Qianzhong is already thin and doesn't look like a person, and it's difficult to even get out of bed, is this still the heroic and decisive leader before?

The Khitan is now in an eventful season, there is a great Zhou before and there is a Turk after that, he really can't imagine what kind of situation it will be if Li Qianzhong has three longs and two shorts, and where will the Khitan go?

When it comes to fighting, Li Kaigu is a good hand. But when it comes to governing the people, subduing the hearts of the people is not his strong point.

Thinking of this, Li Kaigu couldn't help but sigh
