"Good news! Good news...... "A man outside the palace came in with a shout of excitement.

The brush in Guo Shao's hand froze on the paper and raised his head. Dozens of people in the signing room turned their heads to look at the door together, and their movements were simply uniform. Flickering lights, dozens of pairs of eyes sparkling in the bright light.

Not long after, a herald with a triangular red flag on his back was put straight into the signing room, because it was good news.

The herald knelt on one knee, picked up the bloodstained report with both hands, and said loudly: "The front of the palace Sibu has won a great victory on the southern front!" ”

The eunuch Wang Zhong hurriedly went down to pick up the things. Guo Shao asked, "What is the result?" ”

The herald said: "Encircle and destroy the Liao army, 30,000 elite cavalry!" Capture the Liao Army Commander Yelu Hugo alive! ”

"Up......roar" Everyone in the signing room suddenly became excited, and even the heralds and guards lined up outside were noisy. Some people widened their eyes and clenched their fists, and some people looked up wantonly and laughed "haha".

Wei Renpu looked back left and right, and said loudly: "Your Majesty led the army to sweep the world, and the whole world is not the king's land!" ”

All the civil officials and military generals followed and shouted, "The whole world is not the king's land...... Could it be that the king is ......", a group of people stood up and knelt, while bowing, while shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live......

Under the lights at night, Guo Shao's face was flushed, although he didn't cheer like everyone, but his excited expression couldn't be hidden. It goes without saying what this battle means......

"Happiness" came too suddenly, Guo Shao only felt that the blood in his body was hotter than usual, but he felt a little trance in the slightly dim light. It may be that the pressure was too much before, and at this time, I suddenly relaxed my brain and felt dizzy.

Indeed, this battle was just an accident, and it was not roughly expected at all! Although the outcome should be the same in the expected trajectory of gaffes, there is no doubt that this battle has greatly reduced the torment.

Guo Shao raised his head and let out a long breath. Stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his head a few times, then unfolded the report in his hand and read it carefully, and then handed it to the eunuch Wang Zhong after confirmation: "Show the ministers...... Arise and speak. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the room, and people were still in a happy and excited mood while reading the newspaper.

Guo Shao turned his head and looked at the night sky outside the carved window, the weather was so good tonight, and the stars in the sky were very gorgeous! In the beautiful night, he noticed a bright light dragging his tail across the sky, which was a meteor. It seems that the wish in the dark has been fulfilled, and it is as if an important figure in the legend has fallen and embodied in the celestial phenomena...... Yelu Hugo is known as the first tiger general of Daliao, and he can be regarded as a character.

Guo Shao was refreshed at the moment.

This signing room is very simple and the pomp is not big enough, and it cannot reflect a major atmosphere at this moment, but everything that happens here will definitely spread all over the world! Because the stars in the sky are watching everything on earth!

Someone worshipped and said: "Brother Yelu and his subordinates are extremely evil, we can cut off the head of the Liao army and build a capital temple in Yizhou." ”

Immediately, there were those who agreed, "Repay grievances with straightforwardness, and return blood with blood!" Righteous revenge is the way of the sages! ”

Wei Renpu behaved calmer than the other ministers, and said calmly: "The minister thinks that it is better to throw the head of the Liao army into Youzhou City and scare them, continue to open a gap in the east of the city, and take Youzhou as soon as possible." As for Yizhou, you can ask someone to build a kneeling statue wearing a flail in the city to insult Yelu Huge. ”

Guo Shao felt that the method was very good, and immediately said: "It will be played by Deputy Envoy Wei." You go and arrange this. ”

"The ministers obey."

…… The next morning, it was sunny again, but the battlefield was filled with smoke and a sense of slaughter.

Many people were carrying headless corpses and throwing them into the pits, and in the pits one by one, the bones were burned with firewood and tung oil, and black smoke filled the air. There was a foul smell in the air, and the smell of burnt flesh and blood, fishy smells, and all sorts of mixed stenchs.

The soldiers of Zhou were mixed together, and they were driving the car on the battlefield and slowly walking and stopping. The soldiers took the woodcutters to the ground and slashed their heads, the people and the dingfu were picking up weapons and arrows on the ground, and some were pulling out the armor on the corpses and searching the contents of the corpses.

Truckloads of people's heads were carried away, sprinkled with lime.

On the battlefield, Li Chuyun and other generals rode horses to watch their exploits. This miserable situation is a tragic scene for the Liao people, but for the Zhou people, it is like a record of showing off their might.

The two countries have been hostile for many years, and there are too many blood feuds, and at this time, the soldiers have no mercy, but feel happy about such a bloody scene!

However, everyone was really tired from the battle yesterday, and the Zhou army also suffered a lot of casualties after the battle, everyone was tired, and few people spoke.

Yang Biao took out a piece of wheat cake from the bag, and while looking at the battlefield, he took a bite and chewed it. Shi Yanchao suddenly turned his head and looked at the horse-faced Yang Biao with strange eyes, as if to say: This smell of noodles, you still eat very deliciously!

……

The Zhou army outside Youzhou City was still besieging the city, but it did not attack the city early this morning. Youzhou City seems to be dead silent.

Xiao Siwen sat on the leather chair of the Southern Courtyard Mansion, looking sluggish, and didn't say a word all morning.

But Abudi scolded below: "Waste! Brother Yelu Hugh is a waste, and it is not a pity to die, but it is a pity that the elite soldiers of Daliao who have reinforced us ......"

Another general said in despair, "How did Jeruhugo fight like this...... It's unbelievable! ”

At this moment, Han official Fan Zhongyi asked cautiously: "Will Shangjing send reinforcements?" ”

Xiao Siwen's motionless head immediately turned his head to look at Fan Zhongyi, this sentence is the key.

Youzhou is very important, but is Da Liao willing to spend all its national strength here? Even if the emperor is willing, can he mobilize the army again in such a situation? What's more, if you really want to be stalked and consumed here, it is still difficult to say how it will end.

Today's armistice of the Zhou army made Xiao Siwen feel that in this dead atmosphere, Youzhou was already a dead city!

Fan Zhongyi carefully reminded again: "If there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid Youzhou won't be able to hold it, and sooner or later." ”

…… Da Liao went to Beijing, and the news of Yelu Huge's defeat came, and it was like a bolt from the blue!

It was rare that there was a torrential rain on the grassland, and the wind and rain raged throughout Shangjing. Yelujing felt that Miyagi was in turmoil and was about to overturn......

This is not cowardice, Yelujing really felt the danger, but it was not the wind and rain that overthrew the imperial power, but the people.

"Yelu Huge...... the scepter in Yelu Jing's hand is shaking, "I have failed Ben Khan's high hopes!" ”

The attendants around him, the ministers and nobles below, all bent down and stood there in fear.

Although Da Liao claims to control millions of strings, it is not very easy to bear the loss of 30,000 elites at once. If it were a period of strength and stability, this kind of loss could barely be bearable, but the current situation is different, this is a heavy blow to Yelu Jing's throne!

Yelujing's emotions towards Hugh are difficult to describe...... There is anger and gnashing of teeth! There is also a kind of regret, no matter what, Yelu Hugo is a more trusted and capable general around him, and now that it is damaged, Yelu Jing feels that his strength has been greatly weakened.

"Youzhou ......" Yang Gon took half a step forward, and suddenly stopped again. Everyone fell into a mood of frustration and failure, but Yang Gon came back to his senses quickly, and immediately thought of the most critical place at this time, which was Youzhou!

Yelu Jing glanced at Yang Gon quietly, then looked away, pretending not to hear.

At this moment, Yelu Xian said coldly: "Brother Yelu Xiu is rash and frivolous and dereliction of duty, causing my Great Liao Army to suffer heavy losses and fall into a disadvantageous situation!" His death was not enough to atone for his sins. The blame is all on Yelu Hugo, and the minister said that he would destroy Yelu Hugo's entire family to offset his great sin! ”

Yelujing remained silent, no matter how hateful Hugh Ge was, he still remembered his loyalty in his heart, and was not willing to do so in private...... But Ye Luxian's meaning is very ingenious, this is to put all the blame on Brother Hugh, and it is good for everyone so far.

However, what about Youzhou?

If Yelu Hugo is defeated, if Youzhou loses again...... Youzhou not only lost a large piece of rich territory, but also had more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry in the city, leaving 20,000 or 30,000 infantry before and after; In addition, the Khitan family members in Youzhou and the Khitan people in various cities also have tens of thousands of people! Throw it all away? Yelu Jing, the Great Khan, deserves to continuously lose Da Liao's family funds, and can he still command the ministry?

And Youzhou doesn't seem to be able to solve the situation, Yelu Jing is in a dilemma, and feels that the road seems to have been exhausted!

Yelujing didn't dare to say it directly, and he wanted to give up Youzhou; No one in the entire Shangjing dared to say this. However, it became impossible to reinforce Xiao Siwen and continue to go south to Youzhou to launch a national battle.

Only push Xiao Siwen out, and when the time comes, all the blame for the loss of Youzhou will be shifted to Xiao Siwen!

Whether it's useful or not, I'm afraid it's only like this at this time!

Sure enough, someone said cautiously: "Brother Yelu Hugh was defeated in Youzhou, Xiao Siwen has no reinforcements for the time being, seeing this situation, can he still hold the city?" ”

A minister said: "Send reinforcements south to rescue Xiao Siwen again?" ”

There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone fell silent.

Yang Gon bowed quietly: "Great Khan, the Great Liao was originally scheduled to go south after the autumn; Yelu Hugh's brother and Xiao Siwen first stabilized Youzhou City. Now that Yelu Hugo has been defeated, he can only order Xiao Siwen to take on the heavy responsibility alone and defend Youzhou until the autumn ......"

This plan was immediately supported by many people, anyway, no one wants to go south to waste, and if it can be delayed until autumn, it will be delayed. Because there is no solution!

Yelu Jing also understood in his heart, and doubted that Xiao Siwen's single-tree support could last for a few months......

He opened his mouth, and a lamentation was sighed, swallowing raw into his stomach.

"Whirring ......" The wind howled outside the palace, creaking through the cracks in the nailed planks. Yelu Jing seemed to have thousands of horses galloping in his heart, he had always been worried about the turmoil of the grasslands, and he really didn't expect that he would be planted in the hands of the southerners!

The southerners are actually the deadliest threat! Who could have imagined?

"Blacksmith Guo is a crazy beast, he wants not only Youzhou, but also the life of Da Liao!"
