On the side of Youzhou City, knowing that the Yan soldiers, under the leadership of Zhao Yanshou, broke through the Yishui defense line, and even easily crossed the Juma River, Nanjing stayed behind in Yelu Jieli and was so angry that he scolded the waste.

"What are Dingzhou and Mozhou doing, so many soldiers and horses can't stop the Yan army?" Yelu Jie's mouth was full of thoughts, and his face was full of anger: "Zhao Yanshou, a thief, these rebellions of the Yan army, really colluded with the Liu family to trap our army." When he was in Luancheng, he should have killed them all to avoid disaster. Han people, I really don't believe it! ”

Fortunately, in the council hall, there are all Khitan, Xi people, and Han officials are all excluded, otherwise Yelujieli's words will be another violent stimulus to the already divided contradiction between the Han and the Chinese.

"The Longqi Army marched north, marched together in two directions, and pinned down the armies on the southern front too much, so that Zhao Yanshou took advantage of the loophole." A defender defended the Liao army in the south.

"The Longqi Army, it's the Longqi Army again! That Liu family, there is no one in the Khitan who deceived me! "Jerodich cries out useless nonsense.

"Stay behind, let's do a good job of dealing with Yan Bing!" Said one of the generals.

"Do you still need to be reminded?" A little unable to stand the tone of mentioning points, Yelu Jieli stared, thought for a while, and said fiercely: "Let the defenders of Zhuozhou advance eastward, and the defenders of Tan and Ji will also come south, and I will personally lead the army to attack and carry out encirclement and suppression." Since Zhao Yanshou dared to go deep alone, he came to find death and fulfill him! ”

As soon as these words fell, several guards who sat down immediately became anxious, and one of them persuaded: "You can't stay behind, the secluded capital is empty at the moment, and there are not many soldiers and horses. Those Han people in the city, because of this, were in turmoil, resentful, and restless, if they did not have enough strength to deter, they were prone to chaos! ”

"Humph!" Hearing this, Yelu Jieli immediately replied: "How can I not know! How much delay can the army on the southern front cause to the Yan soldiers in a short period of time? If Zhao Yanshou is allowed to lead the Yan army to Nanjing, the Han people in the city will be noisy, and the threat to us will be even greater! ”

"Besides, the city is now dominated by cavalry. Since Zhao Yanshou dares to come, we don't go out of the city to defeat them in a field battle, is there still a passive attack and defense of the city with him? ”

Jerod's words seem to make a lot of sense. The questioning general was dumbfounded for a while.

"But, what about Nanjing City?"

After thinking about it, Yelu Xie issued a military order: "Recruit a group of Hu people from the city, give me weapons and armor, cooperate with the soldiers and horses left behind to garrison, and wait for the guards of Tan and Ji to go south." The streets in the city are closed, and all squares are blocked, especially where the Han people are, but there are those who move around at will, kill them first! ”

Although there were still doubts, Jerod was determined, and there was no room for opposition from others. He was appointed by Yelu Ruan to stay in Nanjing, and was in charge of the military administration of the states and counties of Nanjing Province, with great power.

Soon, Yelu Ruan gathered his troops and horses, headed south, and went straight to the direction of Gu'an. Then, after setting off for more than an hour, the Liao generals who stayed in Youzhou received the news that the Yan army went north by waterway, and happened to stagger with Yelu Jieli, and Yelu Jieli pounced.

......

When the situation in Youzhou is becoming more and more erosive, Yelu Ruan's side is progressing very smoothly. The 100,000 army, escorting the first emperor back to Beijing, was just a normal march along the way, and the Khitan tribes along the way had no intention of obstructing it. Even if you want to block it, you must have the courage to face the attack of 100,000 troops.

And in the process of marching, Yelu Ruan realized what it means to "return to the expectations of all". Still in Zhongjing Road, there are Liao Wuyuan Department Yili Jianlu Anduan, detailed and stable Yelu Liu Ge sent people to report surrender, and asked the warriors of the department to be the vanguard. Then he led his troops north to Tide Spring, where he met the army of Yelu Lihu.

The Khitan Empress Dowager Shulu handed over to him the only remaining elite in Shangjing and all the soldiers of the northern and southern courts, and the military strength was not weak. However, Yelu Lihu was really unpopular, and under the battle, he was crushed by the vanguard military horses of the Five Academies Department, and was scattered, resulting in the rout of the whole army, and he fled back to Linhuang in embarrassment to find his mother for comfort.

Yelu Ruan's side, I only feel that the situation is very good. It seems that the road back to Beijing is not as difficult as imagined, and even a little too sensitive and careful. And after learning the result of the battle of Taide Spring, the army's morale was immediately lifted, and the original little anxiety disappeared, and Yelu Ruan's ship was stable, and there was basically no need to worry about the retaliation of the Empress Dowager Shulu if it failed.

All the way to the northeast, from Youzhou to Shangjing, it is too far away. In a good mood, Yelu Ruan already had the idea of completely shifting the center of gravity of his rule to the south.

However, when the news came from Youzhou that Liu Chengyou sent Zhao Yanshou to the Northern Expedition, Yelu Ruan's good mood dissipated suddenly. Even in the middle of summer, that face was like a layer of frost.

"This Liu Chengyou is so courageous, he really dares to go north to pick up the tiger's beard! actually commissioned Zhao Yanshou Northern Expedition, good quantity! Does Liu Zhiyuan know? Liu Chengyou was praised in his words, but there was no kindness in this tone.

In Youyan's case, Yelu Ruan convened a pre-military meeting, and naturally, the generals had two opinions.

First, in order to return to the status of Jing, the name is divided into above, headed by Yelu Cha and others, there are still more than 20,000 soldiers in various parts of Youzhou, and they have made proper arrangements before they are lucky, and they can hold it no matter how they think about it.

In addition, it is natural to advocate the immediate deployment of troops to support, and these people are led by Yelu'an. They believe that the hearts of the people have returned to the new master, and the Empress Dowager Shulu in Beijing is no longer to worry, but Youyan must not lose. Otherwise, not only did this time go south to destroy Jin and make a big defeat, but even the results of the previous belly had to be spit out again.

In Yelu Ruan's position, he still favored Youzhou, did not get too entangled, and after a little consideration, he decided to send troops back to help. So, he sent Yelu Shuogu to lead 10,000 cavalry, Xingchi returned to the south, and annihilated the enemy army in the north.

Yelu Ruan's reaction was not slow, and he acted as soon as he learned the news, and he was not too worried. In his opinion, no matter how bad the situation is, as long as the city of Nanjing is kept, everything else is secondary, but it can be given up and taken back sooner or later.

However, the situation in Youzhou has deteriorated at a speed far beyond his imagination, and it is Youzhou that is the first to go wrong.

Zhao Yanshou went north from Gu'an, so smooth that even he couldn't believe it, until he reached the southwest of Youzhou City, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and the soldiers came to the Qing and Jin Gates, without being blocked at all.

And when he arrived at the city, he found that the emptiness of Youzhou City was completely beyond his imagination. The fool in Yelujie, who was even more stupid than he expected, and even more self-righteous, actually led his troops to Gu'an to intercept him.

Overjoyed, Zhao Yanshou immediately spread the news to the army, and for the sake of taking the waterway, the Yan soldiers of all units basically maintained a certain amount of physical strength and combat effectiveness, and after a short rest, they ordered an attack. Although the dragons in Youzhou City were leaderless, and there was some confusion in the face of the Yan soldiers descending from the sky, they were still guarding the city gate under the leadership of their respective commanders.

However, with the size of Youzhou City, where can it be taken into account. There were no heavy siege equipment, the initial battle was unfavorable, and the second battle failed, but with Zhao Yanshou's familiarity with Youzhou, he quickly figured out its defensive strength. With the size of Youzhou, where can the miscellaneous defenders in the city take care of everything, he soon found a breakthrough and entered through the water gate.

Attacking Youzhou was so easy that Zhao Yanshou felt extremely surprised......
