On the bank of the Donkey Trunk River, Yelu Zhirang led the cavalry of the eight divisions of the enemy to move forward slowly, the enemy Lie Department is a famous large tribe in the north of the Liao State, and the Wugu tribe is also called, in fact, the two tribes were originally the same origin, when the Liao State first conquered the Wugu Department, and later the enemy Lie Department also surrendered to the Liao State, so both became vassals of the Liao State.

However, at the beginning, the relationship between the enemy and the Wugu department and the Liao State was not very harmonious, and the two were even more rebellious and surrendered to the Liao State, until Xiao Tzu Rin passed through the northwest, which made the two departments return to the center, and the Liao State also set up the Wugu Enemy Lie Army Division in the northwest, making the northwest officially become the territory of the Liao State.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Tzu Rin was the commander of the Liao State who was shot to death by the Song army with a bed crossbow during the Lanyuan Alliance, and it was precisely because of his death that the Song-Liao-Yuanyuan Alliance was reached.

However, although the eight divisions of the enemy lie were attached, but with the decline of the Liao State in recent years, coupled with the fact that Yelu Zong was really willful, the local forces of the Liao State were also quite detached.

In the past two years, after the efforts of Yelu Renxian, and Yelu Zongzhen also seemed to realize some of his own mistakes, so he began to regain the hearts of local forces one by one, such as Yelu Zongzhen accepted the women of the Eight Divisions of the Enemy Lie as a concubine, and gave these eight departments generously, which made the Eight Divisions of the Enemy Martyrs return to their hearts again, and this time the attack on the party items was mainly used by the troops of the Eight Divisions of the Enemy Martyrs.

Of course, the reason why the Eight Enemy Martyrs are willing to send troops is not only because they obey Yelu Zongzhen's orders, but also because the rise of the Dang Xiang people also threatens the survival of the Eight Enemy Martyrs, especially after Li Yuanhao occupies Zhenzhou, which is rich in water and grass, he has seized the living space of the Enemy Martyrs Department, which makes the Enemy Martyrs also hate the Dang Xiang people to the core.

However, the enemy martyr department is not monolithic, the reason why it is called the enemy martyr eight tribes is because it is composed of eight major tribes, namely Di Lie, Di Lie, Di Li, Di Lid, Di Reed, Di Lid, Daride, and Dariday, and these eight departments also have their own contradictions, fighting with each other, and there is no way to unite to resist the party together.

Of course, there are exceptions, for example, under the order of Yelu Zongzhen, these eight departments still temporarily put aside their contradictions with each other and jointly sent troops to attack the party, and this force was commanded by Yelu Zhirang, as for Yelu Renxian did not come this time.

Thinking of Yelu Ren first, Ye Lu Zhirang thought of the matter that before he sent the army this time, Ye Lu Ren first personally explained to him, about this army, Ye Lu Ren first explained very clearly, although they formed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty to attack the party together, but for their Liao State, if the party is completely eliminated, it is not a good news, because it will make the Great Song Dynasty have no restraint, and then the Great Song Dynasty will definitely turn all its attention to their Liao State.

Therefore, Yeluren first explained to Yelu Zhirang, this time the troops are actually just for show, it is best to spend more time on the road, even if you meet the party members, do not fight them head-on, anyway, it can be delayed, and the main force on the battlefield will be handed over to the Song army, it is best to let the Song army and the party people lose both, and they will be able to profit from it when the Liao State arrives.

Thinking of the above, Yelu Zhirang couldn't help but sigh out, they have been at a disadvantage in the battle with the Great Song Dynasty over the years, and Yelu Zong's real temperament is too stubborn, so they have missed many opportunities in Liao, and thanks to Yeluren running around first, this has given them a glimmer of life in Liao.

"General, the front is the sphere of influence of the Bu Ministry, do we have to prepare?" At this moment, I suddenly saw someone come to report.

Bubu is a large tribe near Zhenzhou, originally also attached to the Liao State, but since Yeluren was defeated and lost Zhenzhou, Bu Bu also wisely surrendered to Li Yuanhao, and became Li Yuanhao's eastern barrier, and even obeyed Li Yuanhao's dispatch many times to invade the territory of the enemy's eight tribes.

There was already a contradiction between the Eight Divisions of the Enemy Lie and the Bu Ministry, even if they were under the rule of the Liao State in the past, they were constantly fighting with each other, but now the Bu Department switched to the party, and naturally the battle between the Eight Divisions of the Enemy Lie was more intense, and it could even be said that it was an endless mortal enemy, and now Yelu Zhirang had all the troops of the Eight Divisions of the Enemy Lie in his hands, so they were also very careful in the face of the Bu Department.

Yelu Zhirang heard this but showed a thoughtful look, he is no longer the hairy boy he was back then, these years of military career, but also let him grow into a calm general, plus he thought of Yelu Renxian's previous explanation, so he quickly said: "The whole army pauses its advance, send people to recruit the Bu Ministry, if they are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Your Majesty can not blame the past!" ”

Although Yelu Zongzhen did not give Yelu Zhirang the order to surrender to the Bu Ministry, but as the former army commander, he naturally has a certain amount of power, and the tribes on the grassland are the grass on the wall, and whoever is strong will be attached to whom, so they have long been accustomed to the Liao State, as long as the Bu Department is willing to return, Yelu Zongzhen will definitely be very happy to accept it, after all, even if it is a nominal surrender, it can add a lot of prestige to him.

Originally, Yelu Zhirang didn't have much confidence in the matter of recruiting the Bu Ministry, his main purpose was to delay time, and it was best to let Song Jun break the head of the party as soon as possible, and then he would go up and pick up the bargain.

However, what Yelu Zhi never expected was that just as he sent out the surrendered people, the next day several large tribes of the Bu Department sent people together, and expressed their willingness to return to Da Liao's intelligence, and they also brought Yelu Zhirang an extremely important news.

At the same time, Cao Mata, who had already led the army to the north of the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, immediately ordered to send troops to the party after a period of preparation, and the imperial court had given him the right to send troops some time ago, and all aspects of logistics were also prepared, with his order, 100,000 troops crossed the border and slaughtered to Fangzhou, another important military town of the party.

Fangzhou is located in the north of the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, the south of Zhenzhou, it can be said that the Song army attacked Zhenzhou is the only way, as early as before the troops, the Great Song Dynasty has been clear about the situation in Fangzhou, there are 10,000 party members stationed here, in addition to 30,000 grassland people who can be recruited at any time, the main thing is to guard against the attack of the Song army, it can be said that Fangzhou is a fortress on the border of the party.

After the army left the country, the grassland was also shaken, and some small tribes on the border saw the banner of the Song army, and immediately fled to the north as soon as possible, even some large tribes avoided it, after all, the relationship between these border tribes and the party was not very close, and there was no need to clash with the Song army for the sake of the party.
