"Your Majesty, Da Kedun's father, elder brother, younger brother, younger sister, the whole clan have been sent to Seoul to be salt slaves." As Hu Dugu spoke, he suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, please Your Majesty, rescue the relatives of Da Kedun!" ”

Empress Xiao, her red lips trembled slightly, and her face was extremely excited, naturally, she never thought that she would have the opportunity to meet her relatives again, but she never thought that she would go around and around, and she was inexplicably brought to this desert south by this southerner emperor, and it was so close to her father and brothers.

Obviously, she is in an extremely complicated mood now, and she is afraid that she is also doing an extremely fierce ideological struggle, but after all, it seems that her hatred of the Nanren emperor has prevailed, and she is unwilling to bow to Lu Ning.

Listening to Hu Dugu's words, Lu Ning was slightly stunned, and then he had an idea, and asked: "Then Paifeng, Princess Liao, let's go to explore the truth first, and I will choose some capable shooters to follow you two into Seoul to find out where Princess Liao's relatives are?" See if you can meet them, you two, and say that we are your guards, and I took advantage of the chaos to save you from Seine. ”

For most Liao people, Empress Xiao was demoted to a lady, after all, she was still a lady, and she was still the queen of the first emperor, and she was imprisoned in Yunzhou and even poisoned, and she was also a secret of the royal family that could not be put on the table. Then Jerodsa did not know what to do.

Empress Xiao was captured and named the princess of Liao, although she deliberately wanted to make the news known to everyone in the Khitan, but the Khitan commanders on the front line kept the news tightly sealed and did not let it spread back to the hinterland to shake the hearts of the army and the people.

The original plan was to break through Yangcheng and at the same time attract reinforcements from Seoul to inflict heavy losses in the field.

As long as they can kill and injure a large number of Khitans, in this way, let this grassland people, know that they think that the hinterland back garden is no longer so safe, and even the Qi army has the ability to go on an expedition to attack central places such as Zhongjing, which is more or less a kind of containment.

Just like himself, no matter what, Bianjing has always been garrisoned by elite soldiers, and even the Hezhong Army has an army while containing the Western Xia people, and the garrison has moved eastward to support Bianjing at any time.

The elite of the Western Army, that is, the Shaanxi battalion, was ready to return to the capital in the event of the failure of the Northern Expedition and in the most difficult situation.

Now, the plans are about to change, and it is of course not much better to be able to swagger into Seoul, although it will take some risks, which are insignificant compared to the benefits.

Listening to Lu Ning's words, Hu Dugu was immediately overjoyed, "The slave is willing, the slave is willing, as long as the relatives of Da Kedun can be rescued, the slave will die without regrets!" ”

Empress Xiao was also stunned, naturally she didn't expect that the Nanren Emperor would propose like this, although the Nanren Emperor was willing to take risks, not to save his relatives, but with ill intentions, and wanted to find out the truth and annihilate the local defenders, his bravery was invincible, if he pretended to be his own guard, he could enter the city to see many generals and kill all the generals in the city, then it was not impossible to annihilate the defenders here.

However, Emperor Nanren's move did have a chance to rescue his relatives and let them escape.

Empress Xiao's pretty face changed, and after a long time, she finally gritted her silver teeth, sighed softly, and nodded slowly.

Lu Ning smiled slightly, turned his head and said, "Jing Si, Wang Gui, Zhou Renmei, Xue Chao, Brother Wanyan Nu, and Nihan, you go with me, and the rest wait for my signal." ”

The six Yu Linlang, who are most proficient in archery, Wanyan Nuge and Nihan can also be regarded as the Khitan tribal army, plus themselves, they are a combination of several southerner warriors and Khitan tribal troops, pretending to be the guards who originally imprisoned Empress Xiao, because Empress Xiao was imprisoned in Yunzhou, which logically makes sense.

Listening to Lu Ning's orders, everyone hurriedly obeyed the order.

Nowadays, Yangcheng Rongchang is mainly an open land enclosed by a very low wooden fence to trade livestock with the grassland tribes of the Western Regions and the Northern Regions.

After the winter, the field has been closed, empty and there are no people, the earthen city on the side is Yangcheng, which is stationed in the Khitan officials who manage the Yangcheng field, the soldiers who maintain order, and their families, but the earthen city of Yangcheng is in disrepair, and the city is broken, and the horses can jump into it, and it is not difficult to attack.

Twenty miles southeast of Hancheng is different, not only there are hundreds of Luduo elite cavalry led by the Tiyin Metropolitan Supervisor Yelucha, inside and outside the city, there are a large number of Khitan, Hu Han who farm and boil salt, among which the men are military men who pick up weapons.

The team of people and horses went around in a big circle, and quietly arrived at the foot of Tianling Mountain near Hancheng, Lu Ning, Jing Si, Wang Gui, Zhou Renmei, Xue Chao, Wanyan Nuge, and Nihan Seven people, followed Queen Xiao and Hu Dugu to the outside of the Tucheng City of Hancheng, but saw that the gate of the Tucheng City of Hancheng was open, allowing people to enter and exit, and even a group of nine rode to the front of the Muzha Gate of the Tucheng, and the soldiers guarding the city were still lazy, and asked as if they were dealing with things, where did you come from? What to do in the city?

The appearance of the guards into soldiers should be the Han people after Huhua, and the city guards recruited by the peasant households in the city in turn.

Obviously, even if a month ago, a large number of remnants of the defeated soldiers from Sene passed through here to return to Zhongjing, but it did not make the Khitan soldiers here nervous, but they were afraid that when they saw the defeat of their own remnants, they were not only shocked, but they also did not think that the southerners and horses could chase here, not to mention that now a month has passed.

Hu Dugu muttered, the soldiers in front of the wooden gate were shocked, and they all knelt down on one knee, this is the etiquette of the Khitan to see the master or noble person, the wooden house behind the wooden gate, soon ran out of a small leader, and someone galloped away.

In less than half an hour, the sound of hooves in the city was like thunder, and more than a dozen horses came galloping, led by the approach, and dismounted, the riding skills were very exquisite, he looked like a tiger's back and a bear's waist, bowed to the horse Queen Xiao, and said a lot.

Nihan, who was beside Lu Ning, whispered to Lu Ning as a translator.

On the contrary, the Wanyan Nuge tribe migrated to the Central Plains for several years, and Wanyan Nuge came to the Central Plains when he was thirteen or fourteen years old.

Nihan said that the person who came was none other than Yelu Chathorn, the eunuch of Tiyin, who greeted Empress Xiao and invited her into the city.

Then he saw the riders behind the stingers of Jerodsa, and they scattered and galloped around the earthen city, checking to see if there were any pursuers or any trace of the enemy.

Lu Ning bowed slightly, this guy is five big and three thick, in fact, he is very cautious, full of questions, and does not ask now, the etiquette is very good, but the place where he should be cautious is not ambiguous.

However, his cavalry was hiding in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain twenty miles away, and the scouts he sent out naturally could not be seen.

As for the Khitan people here, as long as they don't see a large group of cavalry, they can hide a place with hundreds of people, and they won't care about it.

When entering the city, Yelucha did not get on the horse, but helped Queen Xiao lead the horse, and said something, and then was angrily reprimanded by Hu Dugu.

Nihan whispered beside him that Yelu Cha wanted to order a few southerners and Khitan warriors who escorted Empress Xiao to arrange another place to live and rest.

Hu Dugu immediately reprimanded him, and said that Da Kedun was frightened, hiding traces in the south, and it took a lot of hard work to pass the Nanren Pass, flee to his homeland, and the guards around him, only seven people are dead now, and if she can't see them, Queen Xiao will be uneasy.

Yelu Cha looked back at a few people for a while, and then he didn't say anything, thinking that there were only about a dozen people, that is, Queen Xiao came here to say all the truth, and she was also under her control.
