Renqiu's Liao cavalry came a little rampant this time, and there were more people than before. On this side of the river, He Fujin heard the warning and immediately prepared for battle, and Fang learned the general situation from the mouth of the soldiers who fled south, and thousands of horsemen had suddenly attacked outside the city, showing off their might.

If it was before, He Fujin would focus on holding back and keeping it in order, so as to respond to all changes without change. But this time, Guo Rong brought him support, and with more food and food, he had enough confidence, and he led two thousand cavalry to meet the enemy when he left the city.

Liaoqi's reaction was very strange, he retreated at the first touch, came quickly, and went quickly, leaving only a place of smoke and dust. Hu Cai withdrew without a fight, and He Fujin led his troops to chase.

At the head of the city, Guo Rong had a full view of the situation between the enemy and us, and had some doubts about the enemy's movements. Mingjin, let General He withdraw! ”

The soldiers gave the order, and soon, a rapid and crisp gong sounded at the head of the north city between the rivers, and the field was empty and spread far away. It's a pity that to Guo Rong's surprise, He Fujin didn't hear it, and completely ignored the retreat order, and chased after the people more and more urgently.

Slowly, He Fujunjun disappeared from the end of his vision. Even with Guo Rong's cultivation, he couldn't help but have anger on his face at this time. Beixiang looked at each other, Guo Rong clenched his fists, forcibly suppressed his anger, thought about it calmly, and immediately sent someone to chase him.

It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, no news came back, and Guo Rong couldn't help but feel anxious. In his character, there was already some impatience, and he couldn't help it, and commanded angrily: "All the cavalry in the city, go out of the city with the general, and the rest of the people, defend the city!" ”

Before leaving, after a few serious words of advice to a capital school, Guo Rong hurriedly took the only fifty horsemen left in Hejian City and galloped north. Guo Rong's heart is full of anger, these veterans are really unruly in their bones.

In a hurry, after chasing for a quarter of an hour, twenty miles north of the city, a place called the Junziguan finally caught up. As far as the eye can see, in that forest, the two armies are clashing, the sound of killing is overflowing, the banners are spreading, and the sand and dust are flying. didn't have time to take a closer look, Guo Rong secretly said Sure enough, he slapped his ass hard and led someone to lean up.

When I got up, I found that the battle was almost over, and the two sides had withdrawn from the state of engagement, and the Liao cavalry got rid of the entanglement of Yingzhou soldiers and horses and retreated to the north, but this time, it was a little embarrassed.

It was just a skirmish, short, but intense enough. Under the command of the generals, they quickly formed a formation on the spot, treated the wounded, and cleaned up the battlefield.

Pressing the surprise in his heart, Guo Rong found He Fujin with a straight face.

The veteran's hair is flamboyant, and there is a layer of pleasure in killing the enemy between his eyebrows. When he saw Guo Rong, he looked at him in surprise: "General Guo, why are you here?" ”

His eyes turned around on Guo Rong, and when he saw his somewhat ugly expression, he suddenly showed a little yellowed teeth: "It seems that you are not worried about the old man?" ”

Guo Rong said coldly: "Don't dare! The enemy cavalry moves differently, I'm only afraid that the old general will fall for the enemy's tricks! ”

"Huh!" He Fujin laughed twice: "These Hu people, what kind of tricks are they playing in front of the old man to lure the enemy, when I can't see it, I will be defeated with one blow!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Rong calmed down, glanced around, and indeed looked like he had won a battle, and took a deep breath: "It seems that the old general has achieved a lot of results?" ”

"It's just a small victory!" He Fujin waved his hand.

At this time, a partial colonel ran over from the periphery, saluted He Fujin and Guo Rong, and said excitedly: "General, the statistics are out, one hundred and fourteen enemies were killed, fifteen were captured, and seventy-eight horses were captured......

Signaling him to stand back, He Fujin turned his head to look at Guo Rong and didn't speak, but those eagle-like eyes were full of words.

The two looked at each other for a while, Guo Rong slowly took two steps back, and said softly: "But Ben is too worried!" ”

However, there was no mention of his disobedience to the Ming Jin Order.

"This Liao army is a little strange!" After a pause, Guo Rong said again.

"Come on, bring the captured Khitan handsome and let General Guo question him!" Seeing this, He Fujin immediately yelled at his subordinates.

Soon, after some interrogation, the situation was learned from the mouth of the Liao army officer. However, it was Yelu Ruan, the king of Yongkang, who ascended the throne and became the emperor in Youzhou, and then transferred his troops to the south, and at the same time ordered the Liao troops of Zhuo, Ding, and Mozhou to go south, claiming to avenge the revenge of the southern expedition and the shame of the bloody Luan City.

And Ren Qiu's army, supported by the defender Yang An, planned to attack and plunder in the south first. played a set of shoddy tactics to lure the enemy, but he didn't want to be seen through by He Fujin at a glance, suffered a loss, and shrank back.

Knowing that Yelu Ruan was proclaimed emperor, Guo Rong's eyes lit up first, and his heart was slightly happy. However, there are doubts about its movements. But he couldn't help but speculate, could it be that Yelu Ruan planned to use the southern expedition to establish his authority, gain domestic support, and stabilize his position?

It seems that this is not impossible, but if you think about it, it is unlikely. Yelu Deguang was so invincible, and it ended miserably, with the current situation in the Khitan country, there is nothing more important than controlling power and stabilizing the situation in the country. Luan Cheng's pain is unforgettable, and he has to endure it, licking his wounds in order to recover. What's more, Na Yelu Ruan dared to take risks, and if he made a slight mistake, the end might be worse than Yelu Deguang.

On the way, a confidant commander looked in Guo Rong's direction and whispered to him: "General, I heard that Marquis Guo Duyu is a close confidant ......of the second prince, so you ignored the military order."

Listening to his doubtful tone, He Fujin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his face and said, "So what? How to fight, does the old man need to be taught by others? Rest assured, there's nothing to be afraid of! ”

A small victory gave the city of Hejian a boost, and there was a burst of cheers in the city, He Fujin directly ordered that the head of the beheaded Hu Qi be divided into two parts, one was hung at the head of Hejian City, and the other was sent to the south to be hung on Leshou City, in order to stimulate the morale of the army and the people.

After thinking about it several times, Guo Rong directly found He Fujin: "General He, there has been an accident in the Khitan country, and I should return to the truth as soon as possible." On the side of Yingzhou, the full authority is handed over to the old general, please be good at guarding against Hu Qi! ”

Guo Rong's expression was solemn, his words were earnest, and he did not show a trace of unhappiness, and the previous bit of unhappiness didn't seem to be remembered at all. For this posterity, he put away his contempt, He Fujin replied: "Since I have promised His Highness, I will do my best to defend Yingzhou, if the enemy comes, I deserve it!" ”

That night, Guo Rong took advantage of the night and went west straight to Zhending.

......

Here in Youzhou, Yelu Ruan has already put on the emperor's pomp, he admires Chinese customs, and dresses himself like a son of the Han family.

Looking at Yelu Ruan's outfit that was incompatible with Hu Fu, Yelu An, who entered the house, frowned slightly, and then bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

"Get up! How's it going? "At this time, Yelu Ruan, whose position has not yet been secured, is a master who works hard.

"Bohai and Xi Qi have been ordered to attack and harass in the south, and many have been gained, and the Jin army in the south has strengthened its defenses. Only Yang An, the defender of Mozhou, was defeated by the enemy's Yingzhou defense, which made He Fujin suffer and injured a few soldiers and horses! ”

Yelu Ruan didn't think about it, thought about it, and hesitated slightly: "The movement is so big, what if it backfires and leads the Jin army to the north?" ”

"No!" Yelu An was very sure: "The Jin army is absolutely unable to go north, and the minister can find out that Liu Chengyou is busy with the summer harvest, and a large number of refugees have fled south before, all of which are accepted by him, and his hands and feet have been tied!" Being able to stabilize Chengde Town is already the extreme. Such a move by our army will make it uncertain and hesitant. Moreover, with his troops, if he dares to rush north, with the sharpness of the city of Nanjing, it is enough to frustrate him, so that he will not return! ”

Probably sounding relieved, Yelu Ruan nodded, then calmed his face, and said solemnly: "Wait for two more days, see the situation, if there is no abnormality, send troops to the north and return to Beijing!" ”

"Don't you wait for an answer from Shangjing?" Jeredian asked.

Talking sarcastically, Yelu Ruan said: "The Empress Dowager Shulu will never be able to support me!" ”

"Isn't there any news from Xiao Han?"

"Nope! The prefectures of Hebei basically surrendered to the Liu family. After our army withdrew, Uncle Guo wanted to retreat from Hebei safely, I'm afraid it would be difficult! ”

"It's a pity that the soldiers and horses, I don't know how many people can return it?" Although he didn't like Xiao Han very much, Yelu Ruan was very distressed about his army, and immediately said cruelly: "These Han people, seeing the wind and the rudder, will make them regret their mistakes sooner or later!" ”
