Since it was to put on a posture and deter the third prince Zhao Kai, Yelu Yuliyan simply brought all the 3,000 Black Iron Army cavalry and 40 million Shengjun cavalry in Yanjing City, and marched towards Xiongzhou with all the cavalry troops along the way.

At the beginning, some Black Iron Army soldiers sewed according to the style of Wansheng Army, and later Zhou Nan knew that Yu Liyan ordered that although the food bags and medicine bags were small, they should be uniformly issued by the imperial court to show that the person who holds the food bag and medicine bag is a regular soldier.

In this way, all the soldiers, including the cavalry and infantry, received their own food bags and wounded medicine bags. Speaking of which, this is still the credit of Yu Liyan's newly established Women's Hanlin Academy. Yanjing City originally belonged to the Liao State, every household in the city will cook fur, several "secretaries" of the female Hanlin Academy - Zhou Nan often called these female Hanlin Chengzhi secretaries, Yu Liyan and these girls did not understand what the secretary meant, but Zhou Nan shouted like this, and they were used to it - together together, they decided to change the way the government apportioned in the past, anyway, after several battles, there was no shortage of money in the treasury, and it was decided that the government would formulate the style and size of the military food bag and the wound medicine bag, and the government would purchase it at the expense of the government. The price is also after visiting several leather stores, and the price is agreed by everyone at the moment.

In this way, every household in Yanjing City was enthusiastic about sewing, and in less than ten days, 50,000 bags of military rations and 50,000 bags of wounded medicine were purchased. Only then did a notice was posted on a wall outside the Left-behind Mansion that it would not be purchased. As for the superfluous ones that were made because I didn't see the notice, I naturally still accepted them, anyway, these things are always needed.

Now, whenever there is a government decree that needs to be told to the people, it will post a notice on this wall outside the left-behind mansion, and the people in the city are also accustomed to knowing some news about the government here.

Located in the northeast corner of the Imperial Palace, adjacent to Danzhou Street, it is the center of Yanjing City, which is convenient for handling civil affairs in the city.

Now Xiao Lao Liu has also moved out of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, in the Baoying Temple opposite the Left-behind Mansion, opened a spacious house, and built a Ma Bujun Command Embassy, the command of the Embassy Gate and the Left-behind Division Gate is opposite, Xiao Lao Liu, Gao Yuan, Yang Keshi, and their respective pro-army guards, all live here, the white people work in the front office, and rest in the backyard at night.

Xiao Laoliu originally lived in the Metropolitan Governor's Office, but let it out and leave it to Zhou Nan, so that Zhou Nan and his three hundred pro-army guards lived in it, Xiao Laoliu didn't know Yelu Yu Liyan's agreement on a one-year trial marriage period proposed to Zhou Nan, Yu Liyan just said that the two were not married, and it was inconvenient to live together, and Zhou Nan didn't say anything. Therefore, Xiao Lao Liu asked Zhou Nan to live in the Metropolitan Governor's Office diagonally opposite the palace, which also intended to make the two more intimate and close, so that they could be matched together as soon as possible.

Seven thousand elite cavalrymen, all in good spirits, rode on their horses in good order, each of them as usual with a pair of full-body armor and a spear, on horseback, with two bags of arrows hanging on the right, a hand-sword and a bow on the left, and a bag of rations and medicine around his waist. Groups and troops marched south in full order, and along the way, the soldiers who were speeding back and forth to deliver messages kept shuttling.

This time it was Yelu Yu Liyan and Gao Yuan who commanded the troops, and Yang Keshi could only hide behind and watch. Yelu Yu Liyan was not accustomed to riding horses, but still sat in his own chariot - a beautiful and unusual carriage of two horses driving side by side, the wheels were very long, the wheels were about to catch up with the height of a man, the wheels and wheels were painted with red paint, the cart was surrounded on all sides by a five-colored carport surrounded by colorful brocade, the roof of the shed had a canopy painted in vermilion, the edge of the shed was yellow drapes and purple tassels, and there were doors in front of the carriage and on the left and right sides of the carriage to go up and down.

Yinping helped Yu Liyan into the carriage, and served Yu Liyan to sit down before he said angrily: "I don't know where the horse went?" Such a matter between the two countries requires you to travel hundreds of miles in a carriage to deal with it. At the beginning, he said that he would make a carriage for the princess, but now let alone the carriage, even people can't see it! ”

The driver was driven by the guards personally arranged by Xiao Lao Liu, and with a slight flick of the reins, the carriage was on the road, and the Black Iron Army cavalry behind followed behind without hurry. Let's have a book

Yu Liyan was full of smiles and said, "Zhou Lang personally went to danger and went to Jizhou and other places to investigate the military situation, is it easy?" I'm also depressed in the palace, and going out for a walk is considered to be a distraction. ”

Yinping said dissatisfiedly: "Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang! When it comes to colts, you know how to laugh. ”

After walking for a short time, the convoy stopped, lifted the curtain on the silver screen, stood in front of the car and watched, it turned out that it was almost in Zhuozhou. According to Yu Liyan's meaning, Gao Yuan had already sent a herald to transfer out the 1,000 Wansheng Army cavalry in Zhuozhou City, and waited on the side of the road early.

At this time, Gao Yuan had already seen the commander of the Zhuozhou Wansheng Army cavalry in front. I heard that Yang Keshi and his family members were imprisoned, and Feng Chun, who was guarding Zhuozhou, was going to personally bring the cavalry to come, but Gao Yuan did not agree, but asked Feng Chun to send a commander with a thousand cavalry to follow the army.

Starting from the morning on the south of Yanjing City, along the way, there have been 10 million cavalry troops in Zhuozhou, 2,000 cavalry in Yizhou, and 2,000 cavalry in Xincheng to join recently.

By the time the army arrived at Guiyi City, with the addition of the 2,000 cavalry troops in Guiyi City, there were already 14,000 cavalry troops.

Xiongzhou is still fifty or sixty miles away from the boundary river, and if the shouting on the edge of the boundary river is louder, the Song army who is shrinking in the city of Xiongzhou will naturally not know.

Yu Liyan saw that it was still early, although he was already sore in the carriage, but Yang Keshi and his family were imprisoned in Xiongzhou City, if he took the delicate and expensive princess as a pie, he was afraid that Yang Keshi and the others would be cold, so he endured the sourness, got off the car a little and moved, and ordered Yang Keshi to take his own soldiers to garrison Guiyi City to meet them. He and Gao Yuan continued to Xiongzhou.

Yang Keshi and the others were greatly moved when they saw that Yu Liyan was a princess, and they were not tired and continued to hurry. Yang Keshi persuaded him: "The princess will rest here for one night, and it will not be too late to go tomorrow." ”

Yu Liyanqiang said with a smile: "Brother Yang and the generals and their families are in a cage, how can the concubine lie in peace?" Ignoring Yang Keshi's persuasion, he took a 14,000-meter cavalry army to find the stone bridge to cross the river, crossed the boundary river, and rushed to Xiongzhou City.

Fifty or sixty miles, but it was only half an hour.

The ironclad cavalry of pure color set up a formation on the east, north and west sides of Xiongzhou City, with great fanfare, and the military tent stretched for five miles outside the city, and the people shouted and neighed the horses, and the cold light of the blades flashed, and the momentum was very amazing.
