At the beginning, Liu Zhiyuan was proclaimed emperor at the beginning, and when the news reached Tokyo, in order to prevent and contain the soldiers and horses in Hedong, Yelu Deguang arranged some countermeasures, and arranged several soldiers and horses around the Hedong sphere of influence.

Geng Chongmei led the army to Luzhou, but was wiped out by Liu Chengyou, who went south, and received a boxed lunch in advance.

Cui Tingxun spent Heyang on the festival and beware of Ze and Lu, but Chrysanthemum was suddenly stabbed by Wu Xingde, and was defeated with many enemies. That is, Yelu Deguang did not punish him and gave him the opportunity to regroup, and to this day, he is still in a stalemate with Wu Xingde in Heyang. A counteroffensive was carried out, and a small victory was achieved, but it was harassed by Li Wanchao stationed in Zezhou, and was attacked on both sides, with the withdrawal of the main Khitan force from the Central Plains, there was no support behind it, and the days became more and more difficult, and I am afraid that it would not last long.

In addition, it is Zhao Kuangzan, the son of Zhao Yanshou, the king of Yan, and the envoy of the river festival. Hezhong is an important territory, the ancient "Hedong", a strategic place, but Zhao Kuangzan estimated that his father reminded him, and behaved very low-key, staying in Puzhou, sitting and watching the situation, and did not show a little aggression.

The remaining one is Gao Tangying, this gentleman is not too active, procrastinating, and has not taken office. It wasn't until Yerod Guangshe's Central Plains went north that he followed suit.

This time, he was ordered to recapture Anyang, but he didn't dare to hesitate any longer. Accompanying him to the north was a Yan soldier and several Jin army soldiers, with a total of more than 6,000 people, in addition, Yelu Balide personally led 5,000 elite Khitan troops to escort the battle.

First there is Wu Xingde, and then there is Luo Yanbi. When the news of Luo Yanhuan's defection reached Liyang, Yelu Deguang was furious, summoned the general Yelu Jieli to the imperial camp, and severely reprimanded him......

In the face of successive defections, Yelu Deguang's vigilance against the Jin soldiers and Han generals has been raised to the highest, and letting them attack Anyang obviously has the intention of letting them consume each other.

In fact, if it weren't for the scruples that caused unnecessary chaos, Yelu Deguang would have wanted to order all the states to surrender and kill all the Jin troops. Fortunately, on the way to the north, although Yelu Deguang's temper became more and more irritable, his mind was becoming more and more sober.

If you want to kill, when you go south to Kaifeng, you should take advantage of the fact that they are gathered together and solved together. At this time, if such an order were issued, it would almost certainly be that without the Khitan armies everywhere, the states and counties under Khitan rule would be full of smoke.

By the time Gao Tangying and Yelu Bali came to Anyang City, the four gates of Anyang City were already closed, and they were waiting for battle, and it was obvious that the rebels in the city were on guard. After learning the news of the Liao army's northward movement, Liang Hui very interestingly shrank all his troops in Anyang City, exhausted the treasury, used all the armor to arm the army, used all the money to motivate the soldiers, and mobilized the whole city to defend the city......

"Stay, this ...... How many people are there in this Liao army? On the city tower, looking at the two huge military formations under the city, one of his subordinates asked nervously.

"It should be, it's tens of thousands of people...... "Liang Hui's legs were also a little weak, and he tried to stabilize his mind and said.

Swallowing his saliva, the colonel's face turned a little pale, and he said miserably: "I heard that the Khitans have three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses, if they all come, how can they resist!" ”

"Idiot! Do you think that all the Khitan military horses will gather in Xiangzhou? Liang Hui immediately interrupted the wailing of his subordinates and scolded. However, the tension between his expressions could not be concealed at all, and there were always more than 100,000 people around the Khitan Emperor who returned to the north.

"They seem to be attacking, what should I do?"

"What to do? Pass my orders, give me the first to guard! Liang Hui said sharply, using a loud voice to expel the fear in his heart.

When he went to the second or third mile of the city, looked at the city, and ordered someone to put out the siege equipment that was transported with him, Gao Tangying personally rode his horse and galloped to the front of Yelu Barride's battle to ask for instructions: "General Yelu, let's attack now?" ”

"It's all handed over to the High Envoy!" Yelu Bari looked a little arrogant, squinted his eyes and said: "This Anyang, but where you rule, you have to hurry." Your Majesty is very annoyed by this bandit, don't let Your Majesty down......"

Although Yelu Barid's attitude was very unpleasant, Gao Tangying still had to laugh, hurriedly returned to the battle, and ordered an attack.

The development of things was beyond Liang Hui's imagination from the beginning. He had no intention of preventing the Khitans from returning north, but as far as Yelu Deguang was concerned, he occupied Anyang City, which was a thorn in the Khitans' way back and must be removed. Moreover, their act of seizing the city and killing the officials just angered the increasingly angry Yerod Guang......

However, the Yan soldiers and Jin soldiers under Gao Tangying are not single-minded, and the soldiers are not united, plus the hard work along the way, there are many complaints, let them go to attack the city, where can they do their best. Ten percent of the combat power, it is good to be able to play three percent, and the tentative attack, but the result is hastily ended.

After that, there was no breakthrough, all the way until Yelu Deguang drove to Anyang, and the same.

......

To the west of Anyang, in the Huanshui Valley, reconnaissance from the cavalry of the Longqi Army has become more and more frequent. Since those horses were put in, the cavalry of the Dragondsea Army has made a breakthrough.

At the same time, as most of the Khitan army slowly moved north, the confrontation and entanglement between the two sides of scouts and horses became more and more cruel between the hundred miles of mountains and rivers between the two cities of Lin Xi and Anyang.

On the north bank of Huanshui, more than 100 horsemen under the leadership of Han Tong temporarily repaired, the soldiers fed, and the war horses drank. Han Tong's expression was very serious, and he looked extremely dull, although he was promoted, he has been in a bad mood recently, and he has been holding his breath, wanting to make meritorious service, wash away the sin of "violating military orders" before, and compete for the newly established commander of the Longqi Horse Army.

Liu Chengyou newly established a horse army, which was divided into two battalions, the left and right battalions, and Han Tong was the commander of the left battalion, and as for the army command, it was temporarily empty.

Not long after, a group of cavalry galloped to the northeast, followed by some Khitan rangers in pursuit. Observing the situation and analyzing the situation, seeing that there were not many enemy cavalry, Han Tong immediately led people to meet him, and after a short but fierce battle, the enemy cavalry retreated.

"Commanded, rescued an officer who escaped from Anyang City, saying that he was a subordinate of Xiangzhou who stayed behind, and wanted to ask His Highness for help!" Yang Ye put the blood-stained sword into the scabbard and pointed at a wounded officer to face Han Channel.

Glancing at them, Han Tong looked eastward, the hills and forests were undulating and isolated, and his line of sight could not be too far. In order to prevent accidents, Han Tong directly ordered: "Take him back to Lin Xi." Remove! ”

Lin Xi. There are more than 6,000 people in Longqi's army, all of whom have been stationed here for several days.

After receiving a request for help from Anyang, Liu Chengyou did not express himself, but only summoned the generals and asked for their opinions.

As a result, there is a consensus that it cannot be saved, and it cannot be saved. In fact, when it was learned that Yelu Deguang's hundreds of thousands of people had traveled to Anyang, several generals had suggested to Liu Chengyou that they should withdraw back to Luzhou, and no matter how bad it was, they would also retreat to the Taihang Mountains.

It's not that he's cowardly, it's just a temporary avoidance, after all, the strength of the Longqi Army is too weak. If Liu Chengyou has enough troops, he doesn't need more, 50,000 horses is enough to wrestle with Yelu Deguang.

However, Liu Chengyou still did not advance or retreat, and stayed in Lin Shu peacefully, it seems that the Khitans have no intention of coming west to deal with them for the time being.

"Liang Hui guards Anyang, where can he guard it for so long! That messenger, where can he escape from Anyang City! You say, could this be a trick by the Khitans, trying to lure our army out? Even if he decided to stay put, Liu Chengyou still made a guess with great interest.
