The officers and men of the three armies shouted in unison: "Behead."

Xiao Kang said in a loud voice: "I didn't hear clearly. Be louder.

"Chop. Chop. Chop."

The officers and men of the three armies slammed their guns on the ground. Striking armor with a sword. Make a sonorous sound.

"Military orders are like mountains. Liu Yilong and his department. Flee in fear. Kill as ordered. By His Majesty's orders. Kill them all. Execution."

Liu Yilong knelt down. Eyes rolling. Still figuring out how many sticks I'm going to take. How to perfunctory the past. He knows it's time to hire people. If you kill him. What will all the Han Chinese generals who surrendered to the Khitan think. As the saying goes, the law does not hold the public accountable. But he didn't expect the Khitan Emperor to order the execution. More than 100 people, regardless of officers and soldiers. All of them are beheaded.

"Don't. Your Majesty spares your life. Lord Xiao. Please intercede for the last general. The last will never be ...... again"

"Poof."

The executioners are clean and neat. Xiao Kang gave an order. Flashes of cold light. And his head fell to the ground. For a time, the sword light on the school field fluctuated. Burst of blood. A moment of effort. More than 100 people lay dead on the spot. The bloody breath makes people vomit.

Xiao Kang said coldly: "The Southern Dynasty has raised troops to invade my territory. So Your Majesty is ready to raise troops to help Youzhou. His Majesty is for the purpose of Kuang Fu Sheji. Where the righteousness lies. Although there were many soldiers and horses in the Southern Dynasties. It's just a dirty chicken and a dog, and it's vulnerable. There is His Majesty in charge. We are invincible to all parts of Mobei. The unrighteous army of the Southern Dynasty can also be defeated. Then there are those who are afraid of battle, and those who bewitch the hearts of the army. There is no mercy for all of them. Do you hear you all?"

The curtain was lifted. Xiao Kang walked in wrapped in blood. The wind outside the tent blows in. The candle held firmly in Yelu Abaoji's hand couldn't help but sway. Xiao Kang hurriedly lowered the curtain. He said, "Your Majesty. Humiliation has ......"

Yelu Abaoji waved his hand. He said in a deep voice: "This battle. We have to fight. If you don't fight, you have to fight. Not only to fight. It is also necessary to win. This was the first battle after the Southern and Northern Expeditionary armies arrived in Youzhou. If I avoid it without fighting. The spirit of the army is gone. The defeat was like a mountain. Later...... You don't have to fight. We have 300,000 tiger soldiers under our command, and we are strong and strong. But not all of them can be put into battle. Shangjing is now panicking. Leave a large army to sit. There are further north. The more bitter cold Jurchens. Veda and other tribes are also dissatisfied with my Khitan. They are weak though. But once my Khitan appeared a situation of dissupport or confrontation. The Jurchen and other ministries will not let go of this opportunity to get rid of our control. Feel free to put a troop of soldiers and horses on the north side. That's the math of that. We can only invest about 200,000 soldiers and horses."

"Your Majesty's words are very true. The Xi people can draw out tens of thousands of horses. Led by the Empress herself, he sat in Shangjing. I am willing to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to intimidate the Jurchen tribes. Your Majesty will be at ease to deal with the southern and northern expeditions." Xiao Kang replied.

Xiao Kang also knew that the soldiers of the three armies of the Han people who surrendered to the Khitan were actually not afraid of death. Rather, it is the instinctive fear of the orthodoxy of the southern court. Now it's only Liu Yilong who has escaped. The rest of the troops may not be free from the chaos of the army. If this first battle is won. The heart of the army can be settled. If it's to avoid war. Although strategically it is right. But as the first battle with the Southern and Northern Expeditionary armies. To fight or not to fight obviously has a great significance beyond war.

"Good. This battle will be fought by me myself." Yelu Abaoji said in a deep voice.

Yelu Deguang next to him said with a solemn expression: "If that's the case. We can only concentrate on protecting Qi County. Tang Ru can eat the 10,000 horses of Luo Shifeng, who surrendered to us in Qi County. It's a great victory. In that case, we will have to break through many hurdles to support Youzhou."

Yelu Abaoji said with satisfaction: "Wang Yanzhang. Shang let be like a crab. Duan Mingyu's mouth was wide open. He put Luo Shifeng in front alone. I'm afraid it's intended to lure me to rescue Luo Shifeng in Qi County. This is an upright scheme. Knowing is a trap. I also had to go on a journey. If you're not careful......"

Yelu Abaoji said gloomily: "The arrow is on the string. Had to send. As for life and death. When I got on horseback. It's out of the way."

Yerod and the other generals looked stunned. They all leaned over and said, "I swear to follow Your Majesty."

Yelu Abaoji smiled faintly. Leaned over and looked at the sand table again. A faint shadow that was not easy to detect quietly swept over his eyes: "Duan Mingyu is the tiger general in the south. The offensive is step-by-step. Shou is even more leakless. I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with such a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us. But my Zhuge Kongming. Where?"

Luo Shifeng, the defender of Qi County, had just surrendered to the Khitan and encountered the Northern Expedition within a few years. And the surrounding states and counties have fallen one after another. He was the only one left to echo Yan Jing. The Han Chinese soldiers were divided into north and south. But there is no distinction between north and south. Let alone. Although the Han people of Yandi all want to return to the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty. But what about the generals . will be the soul of an army. If the general's heart is towards the Khitan. The soldiers under his command who have objections. The generals of the Han people in Yandi are monolithic. Devoted to the Khitan. Emperors before the Tang Dynasty pointed fingers at military generals. Battles that should not be fought are often fought, and battles that should be won are often lost. As a result, the hero's blood stains the battlefield and the ambition is difficult to reach. And the Khitan will not use the military with literature. The status of military generals is much higher. Therefore, Yan Dihan will not necessarily defect to support the Tang Dynasty. At most, the two don't help each other. But more to help the Khitan. Defend against "foreign enemies".

The further north. The harder the battle becomes. Therefore, Duan Mingyu did not plan to take Qi County bloodlessly. He was ready to drag Qi County to exhaustion. Then crush the Khitan reinforcements. Finally occupy Qi County. Total attack on Youzhou.

August 15. Mid-Autumn Night.

Duan Mingyu made a surprise attack on Qi County on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Tang Army's Tanma in Qi County has sent back the news. Today is August 15th. Luo Shifeng wants to go to the Yamen of Zhixian County for a banquet. Drinking alcohol and admiring the moon. Thereupon. I chose the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 to surprise Qi County. The main general of the attack is the teenager Xu Jing.

Qi County Zhixian Yamenli. Luo Shifeng is chatting and laughing with several civil and military officials. The county magistrate of Qi County, as well as several bureaucrats such as the chief bookkeeper and the county clerk who sat with him.

More than 20 Shence Army dead guards quietly climbed up the low city with flying catches. After successfully eliminating the seven officers and soldiers patrolling the city, he was finally discovered by the defenders. The alarm sounds. Immediately, the news spread throughout the city. The shouts of killing are deafening. A few civil and military birds are like frightened birds. Jumped up in surprise. Trembling voice: "Oh no. The Don army attacked the city."

Luo Shifeng laughed and got up. The drunkenness that had been a little bit was swept away. He glanced at a few of his colleagues. Said disdainfully: "Why should the adults panic. Luo carefully deployed. Just to lure King Zhao forward. If he doesn't come; This general is going to be a big disappointment. Today he's here. The general called him to come and go."

He brushed the floor and tore off his robe. The inner cover turned out to be a black iron armor. Luo Shifeng shouted murderously: "Come on. Come with me to the city. Today's First Fight. It is destined to kill the children of the Southern Dynasty here."

Luo Shifeng has put a lot of effort into the deployment of Qi County. The army of the Don army faced this small city, which was not very high. I couldn't get it for a while. Arrows and meteors, rolling wood like fish. More than 20 of the dead soldiers of the Shence Army who entered the city were sacrificed for the rest of their lives. It was not easy to kill under the city gate. Forced the gates open.
