Chapter 689: What's the Situation?!
In ancient times, the night was very quiet, and the sunrise was the basic law of human life, even if the two armies were fighting, it would not change much, at most, the city defense at night was a little tighter.
The same is true of Fengyi City at night, there are not many lights in the city, only the torches on the city wall flicker, the shadows are wrong, the bonfire in the city is warm, and there is not much other movement, the Song army monitoring Fengyi City Tan Ma stopped a little and then turned back to the camp, the general has an order not to attack Fengyi City without permission, otherwise a few gunpowder bullets can also make the Liao people not live in peace!
But the seemingly silent Fengyi city is a different scene, the Liao people began to prepare nervously, although the soldiers did not make much noise, but the movement was fast, these soldiers defending the city are the elite of the Great Liao, but also the Liao Shengzong left a valuable wealth.
Yeluda and Han Yande stood on the city wall and watched the countless black iron streams in the city move, and their hearts were excited, but the excitement of these two people was not the same thing at all, in Yeluda's eyes, these were the capital of his comeback, and in Han Yande's eyes, every soldier, every war horse, and every blade was a gift he gave to Yelu Chongyuan.
As long as these Khitan warriors successfully reach Shangjing Road, then their position in front of Yelu Chongyuan will be stabilized, and with Yelu Da, a reckless man who obeys his words, once Yelu Chongyuan successfully ascends the throne, he will be the left prime minister who replaces Zhang Jian!
In the night city, even the thick smoke rising can not be seen clearly, the night has become the best cover, the fifth watch is the time when people are most relaxed and tired, at this time has eaten and drunk enough to rest by the way The defenders of Fengyi City gathered at the north gate under the leadership of Yeluda.
Han Yande's subordinates spread all kinds of rumors in the army, and the soldiers in the army had already learned that they were abandoned by Xiao Hui, and at this time, instead of waiting to be destroyed by the sharp weapons of the Song people, it was better to turn to the account of the emperor's younger brother to serve his life, and he could not say that he could mix glory and wealth, so he also let it be.
Yeluda announced to the whole army that he would lead the army back to Shangjing to support the emperor's brother Yelu Chongyuan to succeed to the throne, and all the generals in the army who did not respond to him had already been secretly executed by Han Yande, and the remaining generals all supported Yelu Chongyuan, and the army naturally followed them to support the emperor's brother.
With Yeluda's order, the north gate was opened, and the 30,000 Liao troops defending the city poured out of the city gate like a flood and rushed towards Jiaoshan in the north, leaving only a few people in Fengyi City and the corpses of those loyal to Yelu Zongzhen's true soldiers.
Even after Yeluda left, no one dared to go to the street to clean up their corpses, the people were the most stable and cowardly, the departure of the defenders meant that they had been abandoned by the Great Liao, now what they could do was to tremble at home, praying that the Song people would not kill them, the Liao people in Fengyi City, all who were willing to join Guishun had followed Yeluda to the north, and the rest were either Han or Khitan old, weak, sick and disabled......
The sky was bright, and the Great Song Dynasty's Tanma came to wander near Fengyi City again, but the empty city wall and countless torches and straw men surprised them, and the slightly experienced Marquis Yu immediately ordered the scouts to continue to monitor, while he turned his horse's head and quickly headed towards the Baishan military camp.
This is very likely to be an empty city plan sung by the Liao, last night they saw the open fire on the city wall, and the appearance of countless armor soldiers was covered by these torches and straw men!
At this time, the Liao army scouts also found this problem, although they were a little surprised, but they felt that this was probably a ploy by Yeluda to let the soldiers rest and deliberately deceive the Song people, after all, if the 30,000 defenders of Fengyi City withdrew, they would definitely go in the direction of Datongfu in the west, and would not go elsewhere.
The Liao Dynasty scouts, who had a little brains, rode their horses to Fengyi City, and he asked the capital to see if there was any letter or message from Liu Liufu to bring to the general Xiao Hui, after all, Liu Liufu had confessed before entering the city that these scouts should be used as messengers to keep the news open with the army.
When the Liao Dynasty scouts arrived at the west gate of Fengyi City, no matter how they called the door, no one paid attention, so they turned to the north gate, the scene of the north gate was wide open, and the scout was shocked, and hurriedly entered Fengyi City, what he saw was corpses and blood all over the ground, and he didn't even see a figure in addition.
And the people in the city are also ten rooms and nine empty, a kind of ominous premonition shrouded in his heart, after kicking open the door of more than a dozen houses again and again, he finally saw an old Khitan man trembling out of the crack in the door, the scout stepped forward and grabbed the old man's shirt and shouted loudly: "Where are the defenders in the city?" Where are the people of the city? Why are there so many corpses? Ten rooms and nine emptiness! ”
The old man said in a trembling heart: "Back to the military master, last night the general guarding the city went out from the north gate with more than 30,000 soldiers, and those who did not follow were all killed and on the way, I heard that he went to the emperor's brother......"
The scout's face suddenly turned pale, and he stomped his feet fiercely when he looked at the people going to Fengyi City, which was empty, and at this time he wanted to pass the news to the army, but he didn't expect Yeluda, a coward, to escape, but why did he defect to the emperor's brother Yelu Chongyuan?
In Datong Mansion, the news of Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion was not known except for Xiao Hui, Zhang Jian, and Liu Liufu, and the scout took less than two steps before transferring again, and asked the old Khitan man: "Do you know where the messenger who came yesterday is there?" ”
The old man shook his head, but pointed in the direction of the city and said, "The old man doesn't know, but if it is a mission, the general should be in the city." ”
The scout's heart sank, if this was the case, the superior was afraid that he would be more than lucky, but if he wanted to see people dead or dead, the scout still gritted his teeth and entered it, when he saw a mass of minced meat in a brocade robe, his heart was completely cold, and a great fear enveloped his heart, and he didn't want to turn over his horse and gallop towards the army.
Di Qing was also surprised when he learned the news, it didn't make sense! How could the Liao people suddenly give up Fengyi City and sing an empty city plan? The Great Song Dynasty did not intend to make a move on Fengyi City, even if it was an empty city plan, it would have no effect!
"Probe again, if you get close to Fengyi City and the Liao people don't move, they will find a way to enter the city! Be sure to find out what's going on in Fengyi City! ”
After Yu Hou left, Di Qing and Peng Qi glanced at each other and said in unison: "What's the situation?!" Then the two of them smiled bitterly, and now even they were overwhelmed by the sudden movements of the Liao people.
Peng Qi thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the Liao people withdrew their troops?" Then should we send someone to occupy Fengyi City? After all, a city is empty there, and if you don't occupy it, I'm a little sorry for the meeting gift from the Liao......"
Di Qing shook his head and said: "No, this matter is strange, the Liao people have been stationed in Fengyi City for more than a day or two, even under the pressure of our army, they have not retreated a step, and a few days ago they even provoked our army, they should not be withdrawn like this, is there some sudden change?" ”
Following Di Qing's words, Peng Qi and the two of them turned their heads in unison and shouted, "Isn't it related to Yelu Chongyuan, the imperial brother of the Liao Dynasty?" ”
