"The four princes have seen the outside," Han Guo looked pampered and not surprised, as if he suddenly remembered, "By the way, the four princes don't forget to remind Wan Yan Xianye, because Wu begging to buy a strong number of henchmen, after Wan Yan Xian also inherits the throne, the army must be stationed for a period of time." After clearing the unreliable Meng'an Mouk, the army can return north. Otherwise, although there are only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Da Bo Jilie, with his foundation and prestige, as long as the army of the Southern Expedition approaches Huanglong Mansion, the hundreds of thousands of troops will become elbows and armpits, and the enemy country will be exhausted, and the situation will be reversed in an instant, and everything he does will be made for others. ”

These few words, Han Guo said seemingly casually, but it was the purpose of his painstaking planning, to keep the army of the Jin Kingdom.

Yan Zongbi was slightly stunned, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Mr. Han is reasonable. ”

There was an atmosphere of panic in the camp of the Jin Kingdom, and the soldiers on duty at night were not interested in chatting in the past, and they were all like facing a great enemy, and the war horses seemed to feel the emotions of their masters, shaking their heads uneasily and snorting. A Jurchen scout came out of the camp with a license, cautiously looking around, before making a big circle and coming to a wooded place three miles away. The moonlight was dark on this night, and the tall thatch and the gently swaying shadows of the trees made it impossible to see what was going on in the woods. The scout came out shortly after entering, and then made a great circle and returned to the camp of the Kingdom of Jin.

About an hour later, a team of Liao scouts passed through this forest, the officer who led the team seemed to be relieved, led the horse into the woods, and then returned, this team of men and horses soon returned to the Liao army camp, and the escort of the leading troops asked to see His Majesty, and presented the secret report of the "King of Jin".

Yelu Dashi is gathering his confidants and important ministers to discuss countermeasures. In the past few years, the national situation of the Liao State has been revived, and this battle has been planned for a long time, and various arrangements have been made, step by step to induce the main force of the Jin army to go south, and the main force of the Jin army will be concentrated to overwhelm the outnumbered, and then the rear road will be cut off with partial divisions. After the decisive battle between the main forces of the two countries, they were still defeated by the Jin army and lost dozens of camps. There was an atmosphere of defeat in the camp of the Liao army. Yelu Dashi had to re-examine his opponent. And Yelu Tiege, Yelu Yanshan and other important ministers and generals kept pleading.

"It's my responsibility to not know the enemy, what are you guilty of?" Although Yelu Dashi was in a bad mood, he did not have the habit of entrusting others, he looked at the generals with shameful faces, and said slowly, "Our clan has been established for a hundred years, and the upper and lower levels have been in good health, and the military preparation has been slackened for a long time. The Jurchen thieves lived in the bitter cold land for a long time, shooting and hunting at four o'clock for a living, and attacked each other endlessly, so the soldiers were hard-working and happy. In the past few years, although I and the others have tried their courage, they have only made the country's situation improve slightly, and they are far from doing enough thoroughly. Speaking of this, Yelu Dashi's expression turned resolute, and he said in a deep voice: "Today's battle is a warning to me and to everyone. ”

He said with great pain, and the important ministers in the imperial tent were even more ashamed, and Yelu Tiege said in a deep voice: "It's all the ministers who are not doing their jobs well, and the training is not good, please ask Your Majesty to allow the last general to wear the guilt tomorrow and lead five thousand horsemen to charge into battle, even if the last general is full of liver and brains, let the Jurchen thieves know how powerful the Khitans are!" Yelu Yanshan also said: "The minister is also willing to go into battle!" After the two of them spoke out, Yelu Bijie, Xiao Yixue, Urgon Murbo, Guo Baoyi and other generals asked for battle.

Yelu Dashi saw that the generals still dared to fight, but he did not collapse, and felt a little relieved. At this time, the centurion on duty outside the royal tent reported that there was an urgent military secret report. All the generals quieted down, watched His Majesty take out a small roll of paper from the reed tube, and glanced at it quietly, his eyes suddenly froze, and his breathing became short. His Majesty's city is extremely deep, and he has always been moody and angry, and it is not common for him to lose his temper in this way.

"What's going on?" "Is the gold thief going to attack again?" The generals did not dare to speak, and their faces were all grim. They only held their breath and exchanged glances, so quiet in the tent that they could hear a needle dropping.

After a moment, Yelu Dashi gently folded the paper roll. He looked up as he tucked the secret report into the Imperial Archive. I saw that his face was full of red light, his eyes were full of smiles, and he looked completely overjoyed, and laughed: "Immortal Heaven bless the Khitans, the monarchs urge the soldiers to fight hard to kill the enemy, and the artillery of our dynasty must be used. ”

"Ahh There was a sound of exclamation in the imperial tent, and the generals looked at each other with unbelievable surprises. The Liao army was broken through two lines of defense, which had a great deal to do with the Jin artillery battalion. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Jin was also killed by the artillery of the Liao army. will be the courage of the army, and in comparison, the loss of two lines of defense is nothing? This battle during the day can be regarded as a mixed victory, or even a big victory.

"God bless the Khitan!" "Your Majesty is mighty!" "Your Majesty wins!" The generals in the tent shouted in a chaotic manner under the excitement.

"How can I be greedy for the merits of heaven," Yelu Dashi waved his hand again, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to everyone, all the armies fought hard, today's battle was extremely hard, and finally achieved a miraculous feat, killing the Jurchen thief chief Wanyan Agu in one fell swoop, this is the first great victory since the northern expedition of the army!" Spread my will and reward the armies! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty wins!"

"Khitan Wansheng!"

"Da Liao Wansheng!"

After a while, cheers rang out from around the imperial tent, wave after wave, more and more Khitan soldiers knew the news that Wanyan Aguta was killed, some untied their leather jackets, showing off the tribal marks tattooed on their chests to each other, some shouted at the moon like wolves howling, some danced and sang excitedly to celebrate, and some were eager to immediately raise their swords and mount their horses to level the Jin army camp. In today's battle, under the attack of more than 100,000 gold soldiers, the Liao army struggled to support, and in all fairness, the armies could not be said to be lifeless. In the end, although the third camp was held, the morale of the army was inevitably very depressed. But suddenly, the big defeat turned into a big victory, and the entire Liao army camp went crazy with excitement.

Since the Jin army started its troops in Ningjiang Prefecture, it has won successive battles, and it has accumulated great momentum, and everyone dares to fight and will never give up. The Liao soldiers regarded the Northern Expedition as a dreaded way to death. Yelu Dashi coerced the momentum of the imperial expedition, and the war horse armor of the Liao army was even better than that of the Jin State, and it could not change the subtle psychological disadvantage. After several fierce battles during the day, the strength of the Liao army and the Jin soldiers was not much different, but the Liao army always couldn't stand up at critical moments, and this was for this reason. Now that the morale of the army has been greatly boosted, the armies have the belief that they will win, and even if they fight the Jin army again, they will not be easily defeated.

Yelu Dashi looked at the generals in the tent with a smile, everyone heard the movement outside, he nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Although he killed the thief chief, the Jurchen thief has always been brave, and now he is even more trapped and fighting, and he must intend to take revenge on Wang Shi." Do not take it lightly, for in the days to come, all armies must guard their fortifications, and do not go into battle without orders, lest they fall prey to the enemy's tricks. Privy Counsellor of the Northern Court ,......"

Yelu Tiege said loudly: "The end will be! ”

Yelu Dashi's gaze fell on him and asked, "The Khitan men who are in the military registration of Shangjing Province and Zhongjing Province are requisitioned, in addition to leaving the necessary soldiers to defend the territory, how many reinforcements can they have?" ”

Yelu Tiege groaned slightly, and replied: "You can still send another 150,000 reinforcements!" He understands that in the current situation, His Majesty is preparing to fight the lion and the rabbit with all his strength, and pour out the strength of Liao, and complete his efforts in one battle, to leave the main force of more than 100,000 Jin Guo in Liaoyang. This number of reinforcements has already expropriated the Khitan men in Shangjing Province and Zhongjing Province who are registered in the army. If the Song State and the Xia State raided Xijing Road and Nanjing Road, the Liao State would not be able to send reinforcements.

Yelu Dashi looked at him with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Do your best, send 50,000 reinforcements to Shenzhou as soon as possible, and hand them over to Xiao Chala, the commander of the northeast camp." If you let go of the Jurchen thief army, I am the only one who asks. Also, find Xiao Tachi, ask him to return to the army quickly, and assist Xiao Chara to cut off the enemy's way back. ”

"Yes!" Yelu Tiege said loudly. I thought to myself, Your Majesty is determined to annihilate the gold thieves, and there were originally 70,000 people under the command of Xiao Cha Raa in the northeast camp, in addition to the 15,000 palace tent cavalry, the 30,000 cavalry led by Xiao Tachi is also the elite of the Northern Courtyard Army. If another 50,000 reinforcements were sent, the army in the northeast would reach 110,000. Even if Jin Bing is a fierce tiger, if he encounters this group of hungry wolves who have been gathering strength for a long time on his way home, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the result of being torn apart!

Yelu Dashi's tone was sonorous, with unquestionable authority: "The remaining 100,000 reinforcements will be sent to the northern expedition camp as soon as possible." Before the reinforcements arrive, you must all supervise the army, so that if the gold thief does not flee north, our army will hold the camp. Don't be careless in everything, let the gold thief take advantage of the loophole. When 100,000 reinforcements arrive, the morale of the gold thieves is exhausted, and the grain and grass should be almost consumed, and our army can decide Liaodong in one battle! ”

"The last will obey!" Yelu Tiege did not dare to doubt his judgment at all, as for why the golden thief would not retreat, why he would stay in Liaoyang, and whether he could start the next battle after the arrival of reinforcements as he wished, these thoughts only flashed in his mind for a moment, and then they were obliterated by his deep belief in His Majesty. As the privy envoy of the Northern Court, now he only needs to do one thing, that is, to do everything that His Majesty has explained to the best, and there will never be a trace of negligence!

There are only more than 700,000 Khitan men in the military registration of the whole Liao State, and now the number of soldiers who have been transferred to the north has reached 450,000. The trouble of the northern Jurchens that has plagued the Liao State for many years is about to be completely solved, and all the generals are enthusiastic and respond loudly: "The ministers obey the order!" "The last general should die for the Great Liao!" "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he will definitely break the gold thief!"

Yelu Dashi nodded with satisfaction and encouraged the generals again. After everyone retreated, only Yelu Tiege, the privy envoy of the North Court, was left alone, and the smile on Yelu Dashi's face gradually turned cold, and he said slowly: "Today, the gold thief broke through the two camps of our army, thanks to the guidance of one person, this person is called Zhao De. ”
