"It's time to prepare in advance!" Liu Chengyou muttered in a low voice.

"It's almost time to rest!" After a little contemplation, his eyes condensed, and became firm and sharp, Liu Chengyou stepped forward to touch the case, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Order all armies and battalions, increase security, and be ready to send troops at any time!" ”

After saying that, he instructed Xiang Xun again: "Pass the order, let our people keep a close eye on the situation in Tokyo, and report it every day!" ”

"Yes!"

"Heyang Sanzhou, since you have laid the nail of Wu Xingde, make good use of it!" Liu Chengyou thought for a while and continued: "Give Li Wanchao a military order, let him lead the Su Rui army to Huaizhou and respond to martial arts!" ”

"Open the map!" After some arrangement, Liu Chengyou stood up, walked to the hall, and stretched out his hand to signal.

Immediately the guards stepped forward and unfolded the map hanging from the side. Beckoning everyone, studying the retreat route of the Khitans together, although there is no clear news yet, it is worth studying.

Liu Chengyou has already determined in his heart that the time for the Khitans to withdraw from the Central Plains is almost over. In Liu Chengyou's memory, although the specific time is blurred, he is very sure that Yelu Deguang will be returned to the Khitan in March of this year.

However, that night, Liu Chengyou received an urgent report from the secret agents in Henan, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Deguang had already issued an edict on the 17th and sent troops back to the north.

Even if it was expected, it caught Liu Chengyou a little off guard. For the sake of prudence, Liu Chengyou safely chose to repeatedly confirm that the news was correct, and immediately sent people to report to Jinyang, and then personally led the army to the east and stationed in Huguan.

......

In fact, after the martial arts and virtues, Yelu Deguang had already set a date for returning to his country. On the morning of the 17th, Yelu Deguang took his uncle Xiao Han as the envoy of the Xuanwu Army, stayed in charge of the states, entrusted the affairs of the Central Plains to his hands, and returned from the army.

Subsequently, Luan drove out, more than 100,000 troops, divided into several batches to the north, Jin Zhu bureaucrats, concubines, eunuch temples, square techniques, hundreds of workers, books, calendars, stone scriptures, bronze people, Mingtang carved leaks, Taichang music scores, Zhugong County, halogen books, law objects and armor, all sent to Beijing.

Huazhou, Baimajin.

This thousand-year-old ferry connecting the north and the south has been occupied by a large number of Liao troops and servants, especially after the arrival of Yelu Deguang's Luan, the scene is even more chaotic.

If it were just a military horse, it wouldn't be like this. However, countless goods had to be transported, the people had to be controlled, Shi Jin's hundred officials and their families had to be escorted, Yelu Deguang's Luan had to be strictly protected, and they had to be constantly vigilant against the Han rebels who might suddenly appear to attack......

The organizational ability of the Khitan people is not strong, and when it comes to this, it is chaotic.

The withdrawal of more than 100,000 troops stretched for nearly 100 miles before and after, and a large amount of baggage and booty seriously delayed the pace of the Khitans' return to the north. The Central Plains rebels, who were getting smarter and smarter, slowly learned "guerrilla warfare" under the lesson of blood, and constantly harassed along the way, which brought great trouble to the Khitans.

Although before, Yerod sent special personnel to collect boats in Baiba to prepare for the crossing of the river. However, when it is really time to use, the capacity cannot be satisfied at all.

Standing on a high place, sweeping the chaotic scene in front of Jintou, Yelu Deguang's face was very ugly, and a strange flush appeared on his face because of anger, and he said hatefully: "Come north in a hurry, let me see such a scene, at such a speed, when will I be able to cross the river?" ”

There were some internal servants all around, and no one dared to answer his words. Seeing that the emperor was furious, they all bowed their heads in fear, for fear of attracting his attention, and in the past two days, Yelu Deguang had killed several attendants in anger.

"Where's King Yongkang?" Gasping hard, Yerod's tone became more and more irritable.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are chaotic people attacking and disturbing the city, and King Yongkang personally led people to exterminate them." Seeing that Yelu Deguang seemed to be confused, one of the chamberlains finally had the courage to remind him.

"Rioters! Rioters! It's a chaotic people again, why are these Han people so troublesome? I don't know how to die! It's time to slaughter it! Yelu Deguang was furious, and then scolded again: "Vultures are also desired, a hay thief, do you need him to deal with it personally?" ”

The footsteps were windy, and he paced impatiently on the head of Jintou for a few steps, and finally calmed down a little, and Yelu Deguang immediately ordered people to recruit a few courtiers.

"Send the order down, speed up the crossing of the river, tonight, I will camp in Liyang!" The spittle stars flew sideways, and Yerod waved his bare hands in the air, and issued a strict order: "You will arrange it in person, and if you violate the time, you will be severely punished." ”

Several ministers looked at each other, and had the intention to argue a thing or two, but when they saw Yelu Deguang's vicious expression, they all shut up in amusement and responded with a hard head.

His chest rose and fell, and his breath was rapid, and after a long time, he didn't slow down. Yerod didn't notice that his temper was getting more and more irritable. Suddenly felt that his body was hot and unbearable, waved his hand, and immediately returned to the imperial tent, summoned a new concubine, and vented his anger.

Soon after the stern order of Jerod was given, on the great river, with a miserable wail, a ship laden with gold, silver and money suddenly capsized, and was swept into a whirlpool and swallowed up......

The water level of the great river has risen a lot, and the current is much more turbulent than in previous days, and there are too many things to be loaded, and the boats are overwhelmed.

At this time, as if causing a chain reaction, two more ships capsized in the middle of the river. The scene suddenly became even more chaotic.

There was an accident, and the minister who was entrusted by Yerod Guang with the urgent task of crossing the river could only hurriedly rearrange the arrangement. On the wharf, the ships that were already full of people and goods docked one after another, unloading and disembarking people, reducing weight. As for salvaging the sunken ship, it is impossible, and saving people, it is even more unnecessary.

In the midst of the chaos, there was another accident in which the ship collided and capsized. With the turbulence of the river, the pontoon bridge on the water broke a few gaps, and a large number of Khitan soldiers who were crossing the river fell into the water.

The occurrence of various accidents seems to have cast a shadow on the Khitan people's journey to the north. The chaotic scene and the change in the water conditions seem to indicate that it is not suitable to cross the river today, but Yelu Deguang has already issued a death order, and the Khitans can only make adjustments, remedies, and take risks......

That night, Yerod Guang did not succeed in camping in Liyang. After four or five days, tens of thousands of troops and a large amount of goods and goods guarded in front of him before the river was completely crossed.

As for the subsequent Khitan army, it took much longer. In this process, a lot of people and property were lost, and there were not many people who were enslaved, and there were seven or eight hundred Khitan soldiers who fell into the water and drowned.

And, perhaps, in the future, when the situation is stabilized, a lot of gold, silver, and money can be fished out of the great river to fill the treasury.
