The next day, while resting in Fuyang, Liu Chengyou convened the generals of the Longqi Army and organized a military meeting in response to the suggestions made by Guo Rong and Xiang Xun. Although it did not give a very convincing reason, it expressed a clear question from the military side, and it can be regarded as a unified understanding.

On Yelu Deguang's side, the pace of the march was as slow as ever, but since Anyang, there has been much less delay and harassment along the way. A massacre is still very deterrent, but after the news spread, it completely ignited the resistance of the soldiers and civilians in the rest of the prefectures and counties, and the anti-Liao trend intensified.

If Liu Chengyou had followed the advice of Guo Rong and Xiang Xun and waved his troops to change direction, he would have found that it would be much smoother to carry out the anti-Liao cause in Hebei at this time.

After the defeat of Fuyang's army, Yelu Jieli returned to Handan in the north, collected the defeated soldiers, and fled north in a hurry with the defeated soldiers, chasing Yelu Deguang's army. The battle of Fuyang shattered Yelu Jieli's self-confidence, and the combat effectiveness of the Longqi Army shocked him even more, and he felt that he could not resist Liu Chengyou.

When Yelu Jieli led his people to catch up with the brigade, Yelu Deguang's side, after passing through Cizhou, passed through Wei and Xing Erzhou, and then entered the territory of Zhaozhou and stopped in Lincheng County on the border of Zhao and Xing.

Lincheng is only 200 miles away from Fuyang, and from Anyang, it is only more than 20 miles a day. There are many and miscellaneous people, morale is sluggish, the road is not easy, and then the burden of increasing the car and the speed of the march can be imagined.

More than 100,000 people, scattered around the county, this time even the camp has not been built a few places, and it will have to be demolished in the coming day and continue on the road. The closer to the north, the more casual the Liao camp became.

The atmosphere of the whole camp is very depressing, not only the Jin people's soldiers, Yan soldiers, and ministers, but also Hu soldiers and generals, everyone looks sluggish and emotionally bitter.

In the imperial tent, Yelu Deguang was furious, wandering back and forth in a hurry, angrily venting his anger at the ministers in the tent: "Such a grind, when will I be able to return to Beijing!" Ahem......"

Speaking of excitement, Yelu Deguang couldn't help but let out a few violent coughs, his state at this time was obviously not very good, his face was red and short, and he was burning and restless.

In the face of the angry Yelu Deguang, the civil and military forces in the imperial tent did not dare to answer at all, the recent Yelu Deguang was too irritable, and if he was slightly unsatisfactory, he would be heavily responsible or even killed.

But seeing his heavy cough, Yelu Ruan, the king of Yongkang, hurriedly came out and said with concern: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger and take care of your body." The minister has already ordered all armies and units to speed up their marches. I have already arrived in Zhaozhou, and Zhongjing is in the north, so Your Majesty does not need to be too anxious......"

"I'm in good health!" This time, Yelu Deguang directly got rid of Yelu Ruan's support, pushed him away, and reprimanded: "Vulture, you have been very active recently!" When will you be able to call the shots in my place? ”

Yelude's red eyes were full of cruelty, listening to the words of the heart, Yelu Ruan was startled, knelt down directly, and replied tremblingly: "The minister doesn't dare!" ”

Cold sweat, unconsciously, seeped out of Yelu Ruan's head.

Yelu Ruan is the eldest son of Yelu Deguang's eldest brother, King Yelu of Dongdan. At the beginning, Yelu Bei was a strong contender for the Khitan lord, and there was also a battle between the two for succession.

During the reign of Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei was targeted and excluded by all kinds of people, and he had no choice but to go south to the Tang Dynasty, and died in Luoyang in the chaos of the alternation of the Tang and Jin dynasties.

It stands to reason that as the son of Yelu Bei, Yelu Ruan should be suspicious on Yelu Deguang's side, but the fact is that it is strange that Yelu Deguang is very fond of this nephew who may threaten his power, and regards him as a parent, and he relies on it very much.

But at this time, from the words of Jerod Light, it can be seen that there will be no suspicion.

Yerod stared coldly at this burly-looking and beloved nephew, his eyes were cold, and his rapid breathing did not mean to be calm.

When the tense air was so oppressive that people were a little out of breath, a guard general came in to report: "Your Majesty, Yelu Jieli has returned with his troops and is asking to see him outside the tent!" ”

Finally something diverted Yelu Deguang's attention, and the atmosphere was relaxed, Yelu Deguang turned his head, locked his eyebrows and asked, "Yelu Jieli?" If it wasn't for him to stay behind the Cizhou Palace, how could he dare to come back without my order? ”

Soon, Yelu Xie entered, pleaded guiltily, and told the story of the first battle of Fuyang!

"What a Liu family!" Immediately afterwards, there was an angry rebuke from Yerod: "What a waste! Tens of thousands of steps to ride, but you were beaten and lost, and you still have the face to come back privately? ”

In the face of the angry Yelu Deguang, Yelu Xie did not dare to refute, but only pleaded guilty.

"Come on, pull him out and behead him, with military justice!" Probably really angry, unstable, Yelu Deguang took two steps back, sat on the bed with his ass, and ordered a little hysterically.

At this time, on this summer night, the tent suddenly became a little colder, and the ministers were silent. Yelu Xie Li raised his head and looked at Emperor Liao in amazement, he returned from defeat, and he expected to be punished, but he didn't expect Yelu Deguang to want his life.

The others didn't react, but the tent guards were not slow, they went directly inside, and they were about to be pulled out to dispose of it. Jerusheli struggled and cried out for mercy.

In Yelujie, he is no matter how many ministers and generals, no more than others, and there are still Liao ministers who speak for him.

"What is the use of such a defeated general!" But Yelu Deguang obviously didn't listen, his eyes were red, and his killing intent was undiminished: "At the beginning, the war horse was stolen by the soldiers (Luo Yanpu's matter) and dedicated to Hedong, and I have already let him go." This time, the punishment for both crimes is combined. Pull it out! ”

His eyes were glancing at Yelu Deguang, Yelu Ruan, who had been kneeling beside him, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, how can there be a general who is always victorious and undefeated." Although General Xie Li is guilty, he will not die after all. Since the Southern Expedition, there have been many achievements, and for the sake of the past achievements, I also ask Your Majesty to be light-hearted......"

Yelu Ruan's words fell, and Yelu Deguang turned his head to stare at him, but his emotions seemed to have stabilized: "Vulture, you are still so generous!" ”

It seems to have abandoned the previous suspicions, but the tone is slightly inexplicable. Looking at Yelu Xie again, Yelu Deguang asked, "Then the Liu family's child, where is it now?" What is the situation in the magnetic state? ”

"The last general...... I don't know! Seeing that Emperor Liao's attitude seemed to have changed, Yelu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard his question, he was a little embarrassed.

"Rubbish!" After scolding and shaking his face, Yelu Deguang glanced at Yelu Xie Li in disgust, and shook his hand: "Strip all official positions and let him raise horses!" ”

was swept away, and Yelu Xie had to thank him with gratitude, at least saving his life.

"Immediately send someone to the south to find out the situation of the Liu family's Xiao'er's Hedong Army for me!" He breathed a sigh of relief, but Yelu Deguang could not suppress the irritability in his heart, and his tone was very harsh.

"Pass on my order, continue to speed up tomorrow, if you can't keep up, kill!" Then, another cold military order was issued!

The Khitan civil and military warriors in the tent had their faces tense, and they were extremely cautious with their heads down. Lately, Jerod has become more and more moody and intimidating.
