Zhao Liang waited for the two disciples to wake up the unconscious Liao soldier, patted the other party's face with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Hey, do you want to die or live?" ”

Duan Yu was obviously very experienced, and with Zhao Liang's words, a dagger directly pressed against the throat of the Liao soldier, and the tip of the knife slightly broke the flesh and skin, which immediately scared the other party into a master, and hurriedly responded: "If you want to live, grandpa spares your life!" ”

"What's your name? Which unit do you belong to? What is the job title? ”

"Grandpa, my name is Gu Luntai," Liao Bing replied without hesitation: "The sentry commander of the Ninth Cavalry of Qingwei Dao." ”

Zhao Liang nodded: "Guluntai, let me ask you, which of your team is responsible for serving as a scout and detecting and harassing our Song army?" ”

Gu Luntai swallowed lightly, nervously dodged the sharp blade in Duan Yu's hand, and replied: "Usually it is the Relic Lang Jun Army and the Thorn Army who serve as the vanguard scouts, I don't know who Grandpa is asking?" ”

A disciple of the Darkness Sect explained, "The Thorn Army is an ordinary scout, while the Sarilang Army is composed of the children of the Khitan nobles, and they are more powerful and courageous. ”

Zhao Liang understood what his disciple meant, and in the evening, he was so close to Shanzhou, and he dared to attack the Song soldiers, most of them were the Relic Langjun army. He asked again, "Where is the camp of the Relic Army?" I want a specific location! ”

Gu Luntai's eyes rolled: "In the northwest corner of the camp." ”

With a crisp snap, Zhao Lianglun gave the other party a slap in the face, and scolded angrily: "Fart!" Obviously in the southeast corner, but dare to lie to Lao Tzu! ”

Gu Luntai was directly beaten by Zhao Liang, and the hot pain on his face was good to say, the key was that he was scared, but he didn't expect his lie to be exposed by the other party on the spot.

Duan Yu saw this guy's expression, and immediately understood, he didn't care how Zhao Liang knew the specific location of the Relic Lang Junjunjun, he just sent the knife forward slightly, and said in a vicious tone: "Zhao Chu, just kill him, anyway, there is no truth!" ”

"Don't don't, grandpa spares his life, I don't dare anymore!" Gu Luntai was frightened and panicked, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I think I was too scared just now, and I made a slip of the tongue for a while, please spare my grandfather." ”

Another disciple of the Dim Sect looked disdainful and said disdainfully, "I usually look at you all very fiercely, why are you so cowardly now?" ”

Gu Luntai shook his head: "Little grandfather doesn't know, I am not the material for the war, and the position of this sentry chief is to inherit my father's class." ”

"Huh? Do you have sons in your military positions who inherit their fathers' business? Xiao Fengqi said: "I thought this kind of play was only available in some dynasties of our Han people." ”

Guluntai explained:

Zhao Liang ignored his twists and turns, and continued to ask, "What is the camp of the Relic Lang Jun Army?" What are the distinguishing features? ”

"The Relic Langjun is composed of the sons and daughters of the eighteen Khitan tribes, as many as three thousand people," Gu Luntai didn't dare to lie anymore, and said honestly: "There are wolf head prayer flags hanging in front of their tents, occupying a large area in the southeast corner, which is easy to recognize. ”

"Where are the Song soldiers they captured?" The Darkness Sect disciple asked.

"I don't know...... Grandpa, I really don't know," Gu Luntai felt Duan Yu's dagger get a little closer, and hurriedly explained: "Their noble sons are very bullish on weekdays, so we don't dare to deal with them easily. However, if it is an ordinary prisoner of war, they will generally be kept in the cattle and sheep pen in the baggage field, and the important people will be sent to the Chinese military camp to be guarded. ”

Duan Yu frowned, and finally asked

The question that everyone is most worried about: "What if it's a woman who catches it?" ”

"Women?" Gu Luntai was slightly stunned: "Uh...... If it's a woman, it's hard to say. I'll be honest, don't be angry with grandfathers, they're not very polite to women. Oh, I'm not like those brutes, I've never bullied a Han woman! ”

Bang bang, three more explosions in succession, Xiao Feng's big slap was mercilessly thrown on Gu Luntai's face, and a sense of resentment jumped out. The disciple of the Dim Sect was also anxious, and said, "Senior Uncle, let's hurry up and save Miss Mu, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

Zhao Liang was also enthusiastic at this time, and he couldn't wait to immediately grow his wings and fly into the Khitan camp to rescue Xiaoya, but he suddenly found that deep in the heart of the ancient wheel platform in front of him, there seemed to be a secret hidden in it, which was always flickering.

He calmed down and asked coldly, "Gu Luntai, what important thing did you go out to do at night?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Luntai was suddenly taken aback by Zhao Liang, his eyes were full of panic, but his mouth was quibbling: "No, it's nothing?" ”

Zhao Liang was silent, stared at him quietly for a moment, and then turned his head to the other four and said, "I have a way to save people." ”

"Huh? What's the solution? Duan Yu was curious.

Zhao Liang shook his head and did not answer his question, but instructed the two disciples of the Dim Sect: "You two are here to take care of this guy, by the way, try to join up with the reinforcements from all walks of life, and wait for our news." Then, he pointed at Xiao Feng and Duan Yu: "You guys come with me!" ”

Xiao Feng was stunned: "Go?" Where to? ”

"Where else can I go?" Zhao Liang glanced at him angrily: "Of course, I went to the Liao Army to rescue Xiaoya." ”

Under the cover of night, Zhao Liang and the three of them rushed towards the enemy camp, and rushed forward to rescue their comrade-in-arms Zheng Luya. Along the way, Zhao Liang never said a word, but in his heart, there were already huge waves.

Just now, when he used his mind-reading technique to probe Guluntai, he unexpectedly noticed a shocking secret: just tonight, there will be a mutiny within the Liao army!

The Khitan B Department to which Guluntai belongs, together with the Nine Accounts Department of Yaocha, the Three Fathers of the Heng Tent Department and the National Uncle Department, are called the four major tribes of the Liao State, and their position and strength are much higher than those of the other dozen or so small and medium-sized tribes. Yelu Jin, the patriarch of the B Division, is the distant uncle of Yelu Longxu, the little emperor of Liao, in terms of seniority, and is a generation older than the Empress Dowager Xiao, so he has a very high status in the Khitan court.

This time in the southern expedition to the Song Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao supervised the battle, and almost mobilized all the elite military forces of the entire Liao State. In addition to the palace tent army and the leather room army of the royal family, there are also tribal armies from the eighteen Khitan tribes, as well as servant armies of the Bohai, Jurchen, Xi, and Murowei ethnic groups. Among them, the number of tribal armies is the largest, and the B division accounts for the majority of the tribal armies.

The men of the Khitan tribes, usually grazing, farming, and basking in the sun, once there is a war, they will follow the orders of the tribal leaders, bring their own horses and weapons, gather together, and follow the generals of their own tribes to fight for the Liao royal family.

The royal family, on the other hand, provided the food and grass needed by the army, and distributed various spoils of war as a reward for the tribe's desperate service.

The core point of this primitive military system is often not loyalty, but reward. To put it more bluntly: Lao Tzu has to charge for playing with your life.

As a result, every time the Khitan invaded the south, it was also called "threshing grass", and all the plundered grain, livestock, prisoners of war, slaves, and gold and silver treasures, the Khitan royal family left the largest share, and the rest were distributed to the various tribes participating in the war according to their contributions, which was no different from the robbers who shared the spoils.

In this way, following the powerful master has meat to eat, and the master who follows the nest can only eat, which has become the consensus of various Khitan tribes.

Now this is the move of the Song and Liao families

In the eyes of several tribal leaders led by Yelujin, I am afraid that they are going to eat.

A few days ago, the news of the death of Xiao Tzulin, the king of the Southern Courtyard, brought an extremely heavy blow to the entire Liao army. Empress Dowager Xiao was so sad that she not only did not go to court for five consecutive days, but also came up with the idea of discussing peace and retiring from the army.

As soon as the news came out, Yelujin immediately couldn't sit still. He hid in his tent, quietly pulled the abacus a few times, and frowned: Not good, this time the transaction may be at a loss!

From the beginning of autumn this year to the present, the B Department has dispatched 40,000 children, not counting the people who eat and chew, and more than 5,000 people have been lost in Yingzhou alone. I'm afraid the little things I have snatched at the moment are not enough to compensate the families of the dead, if I withdraw the army and go back empty-handed, how can I explain it to my wife and children?

With a total in his heart, he hurriedly called a few close tribes to discuss the direction of the battle together.

Unexpectedly, the old brother also had the same thoughts as Yelujin, and they all felt that this expedition was really going to lose money, and they had no choice but to withdraw their troops at this time, and there was really no way to appease the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

Yelu Jin is old and refined, and he has made an analysis for everyone. He believes that this year's "threshing grass" has made a lot of, mainly because the Empress Dowager Xiao is too soft and the little emperor Liao Shengzong is too tender. If he commanded the army, he would definitely be able to break through Lanzhou, take Bianliang, and distribute the flowers and rivers of the Central Plains to the tribes as lottery heads.

When several tribal leaders heard that someone was willing to pick this head, they were naturally overjoyed. After some discussion, everyone was ready to start tonight, put Empress Dowager Xiao and Liao Shengzong under house arrest in one fell swoop, and continue to fight a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty by the respected Yelu Jin.

Although this guy Guluntai is timid, he is Yelujin's niece and son-in-law, and he has always been a close confidant of the head of the B Division. Yelujin launched a mutiny tonight, in order to avoid the whole camp falling into a melee, it was decided to send only a small number of troops, and control the king's tent by surprise, and the task of Guluntai was to contact the Nirvana tribe, so that their soldiers and horses would secretly block the area south of the king's tent at the same time as Yelujin launched, and prevent any foreign aid from approaching.

But I never expected that Gu Luntai's luck was too bad. This guy hadn't walked a few steps out before he ran into a disciple of the Dark Sect who came to grab his tongue, and he was tied up without saying a word.

Zhao Liang read Yelujin's plan in his heart, and he had an idea at that time: he must notify Empress Dowager Xiao's mother and son to prevent all this from happening!

If the rebels of the B Chamber really succeeded, then the Liao State would definitely continue to fight a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty, and not only would there be no alliance between the two countries, but also the soldiers of the two countries would suffer countless casualties, and the lives of the people of Li would be devastated, and it would eventually be an inevitable end.

At the same time, he also thought of another possibility, that is, the only chance to rescue Xiaoya at the moment: at this time, only by making direct contact with the Empress Dowager of Liao, can he stop all the factors that threaten Xiaoya in the shortest possible time.

The reason why Zhao Liang left the two disciples of the Dark Sect in place was because he couldn't explain to them why he, the Marquis of Lin'an of the Great Song Dynasty, would run to stop the internal strife of the Liao army.

So instead of making a fuss, it's better not to involve them in the first place.

Thinking about it, the three of them were not far from the Liao army camp, Xiao Feng grabbed Zhao Liang, who was walking in front, and asked, "Director Zhao, where did we get in?" ”

"Don't touch it, go through the gate!" Zhao Liang replied very simply.

"Walk through the gate?! Directly sent to death? Xiao Feng and Duan Yu said in unison.

Zhao Liang said as he ran: "There's no time to waste, you just need to follow me, where is so much nonsense!" ”

The two agents, who were used to sitting on the cold bench, couldn't help but look at each other, and at the same time shook their heads helplessly: My God, it's so exciting to follow Director Zhao of the Xianqin Division!
