The horse's hooves were flying, Yeluren led a cavalry to gallop all the way, in front of which was Anle City, that is, the first and strongest line of defense of the Liao State against the Great Song Dynasty, where 50,000 elite soldiers were stationed, which seemed to be a small number, but in fact, this has gathered the elite of the entire Liao State, if even they can't stop the Song army, then the Liao State will only have the last line of defense, that is, Zhongjing City.

However, Yelu Renxian, who was riding on the horse, had a sad face at this time, he would personally go to Anle City to preside over the overall situation, which was also a decision made by Yelu Zongzhen himself before, but at the same time as making this decision, Yelu Zongzhen also made another decision, that is, to send troops to reinforce Shangjing to prevent Di Qing's army from really attacking Shangjing.

Originally, the Liao State had no troops to send, but Yelu Zongzhen finally decided to mobilize a part of the Jurchens from the north to go to Beijing for reinforcements, and in recent years, they have also focused on appeasing the Jurchens, so that the Jurchens no longer rebelled as often as before, and the number of Jurchens who were willing to submit to the Liao State also increased a lot.

On the surface, it seems that the problem of the Jurchens has been solved, at least it is no longer a headache for the whole Liao State as before, but Yelu Renxian knows very well that the discrimination of the Liao people against the Jurchens is engraved in his bones, especially the Khitans, who regard themselves as superior to others, and usually even look down on the Han people, as for the Jurchens, they are treated as two-legged animals, this discrimination is by no means eliminated in just a few years.

What worries Yeluren even more is that Shangjing is the place where the old Khitan nobles are most concentrated, and these people are even more stubborn, if the Jurchen army goes there, maybe there will be a conflict with the local Khitan nobles, after all, although the Jurchens are backward and primitive, but it also leads to their extreme barbarism, and they will only use their fists to solve things when they encounter them, if they really clash with the local Khitan nobles, maybe Di Qing has not yet fought over, and Shangjing himself will be in chaos first.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Yelu Renxian resolutely opposes the reinforcement of Shangjing, especially the Jurchens, which is an unstable factor, and it is better not to send them to Shangjing, but Yelu Chongyuan and others are very supportive of this "best of both worlds" decision, they think that sending the Jurchens can not only reinforce Shangjing, but also allow the Song army to consume the strength of the Jurchens, and Yelu Zongzhen finally followed the advice of Yelu Chongyuan and others, which made Yelu Renxian also very disappointed.

"The king is worried about going to Beijing?" At this moment, I suddenly saw a middle-aged general next to him, Tima, came to Yelu Renxian and asked, Yelu Renxian is currently the king of the Northern Courtyard, and he holds the military and political power of the Liao State, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and his status is extremely noble, of course, this is also what he deserves.

"Yes, Boren, you have been stationed in the north for many years, and you are more familiar with the Jurchens than me, in your opinion, if the Jurchens go to a place like Shangjing, will they clash with those stubborn guys?" Yeluren first looked up and saw the middle-aged man beside him, and asked with a sigh at the moment.

This middle-aged man's name is Xiao Hui, the word Boren, and the Khitan name is Tugusi, and he is also a fierce general in the army, who once broke Goryeo and quelled the rebellion of the Jurchens, especially since he had been guarding the north for many years before, and he was most familiar with the Jurchens, so Yelu Renxian also wanted to hear his opinion at this time.

I saw Xiao Hui pondering for a moment at this time, and then said cautiously: "I don't dare to guarantee that there will be a conflict, but the Jurchens are barbaric, and the nobles in Shangjing are extremely stubborn, if these two groups of people meet together, the possibility of conflict is too great!" ”

Xiao Hui is one of the few wise generals among the Khitans, it is said that he was educated by Confucianism since he was a child, and his words and deeds are no different from those of the Han people, and when he served in the army, he always liked to use stratagem rather than show personal bravery, so he was also very valued by Yelu Renxian.

Hearing Xiao Hui's words, Yelu Ren couldn't help but be more worried, but at this time, he saw Xiao Hui hesitate for a moment and then said: "But according to the last general, the real goal of Di Qingbu is probably not to go to Beijing!" ”

"Oh? Why? Ye Lu Ren also showed a surprised expression when he heard this, and asked Xiao Hui.

"Although Shangjing is not as good as Zhongjing, it is also a famous fortified city, the city wall is very tall and strong, Di Qing's lone army is deep, the marching speed is extremely fast, obviously all the cavalry is bring, even if the Song army is good at defending the city and is good at attacking the city, but it is obviously very unwise to attack the strong city of Shangjing with cavalry, and although Di Qing is young, I have studied this person's use of soldiers, and found that he is experienced in using soldiers, far-sighted, and by no means reckless, so I think it is impossible for him to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to fight hard in Shangjing!" Xiao Hui immediately told his judgment.

Yeluren also felt that it made sense after listening to it first, if Di Qing's goal was not to go to Beijing, then there were not many other goals, and he suddenly thought of something at this time, and suddenly slapped his head and said: "Oops, if Di Qing's goal is not Shangjing, then his goal is likely to be Raozhou, which is the only way between Zhongjing and Shangjing, if the Song army occupies there, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the two capitals!" ”

"Raozhou! Will Song Jun be so bold? Although Xiao Hui was astute, he still didn't dare to rely on each other when he heard Yelu Renxian's judgment, because Raozhou is located between Zhongjing and Shangjing, which can be said to be the heart of the heart of the Liao State, if Di Qing attacks there, he may face both Shangjing and Zhongjing, and then tens of thousands of people in Di Qing's department may have nowhere to escape if they want to.

"Nothing is impossible, if Di Qing occupies Raozhou, the rear will be turbulent, and Cao Yu's army may be killed at any time, even Anle City may not be able to block the other party's army, if Anle City is lost, then the Song army will hit Beijing from two directions!" Jerexin said very uneasily.

Saying that, Yeluren immediately asked people to prepare paper and pencils, and then he lay on the saddle and wrote a warning to Yelu Zongzhen, telling the other party that Di Qing might attack Raozhou, after all, he must rush to Anle City as soon as possible, and there is no way to return to Beijing.

However, seeing that the letter was sent back to Zhongjing by his entourage, Yelu Renxian did not show a relaxed look on his face, but became more and more worried, because he didn't know whether his letter would arouse Yeluzong's real attention, after all, even Xiao Hui didn't believe that the Song army would attack Raozhou at the beginning, not to mention that they could only use the Jurchens to reinforce Shangjing, and now there is no extra army to reinforce Raozhou.

Thinking of the above, Yelu Renxian couldn't help but sigh, he had tried his best to help Da Liao recover his strength over the years, but the previous losses were too great, plus the Song army continued to bleed Da Liao, which made the Liao State weaker and weaker, and this time facing the Song army's two-way army, they felt even more stretched.
