In the early hours of the morning, the Liao army, which had been fighting all night, finally couldn't bear the heavy casualties, even if the generals commanded no matter how ordered, and even let the supervising team kill a few retreating Liao troops, but the others were still unwilling to take another step, after all, they knew that they would die if they went up, and they would die if they stayed, and they were already tired and couldn't stand on their feet after a night of fighting, so it was better to sit down and wait for death.

It can be said that in this case, the morale of the Liao army has also fallen to the bottom, in fact, not only the Liao army, but also the Liao army that has taken turns attacking recently has this situation, which cannot be blamed on the soldiers of the Liao army, after all, they attacked for a month, but they got nothing except huge casualties, and people died every day, which made the morale of the Liao army also depleted, and it was not easy to have no mutiny at this time.

The soldiers of the Liao army were reluctant to step forward, but the generals in charge of the command did not receive the order to retreat, and if the troops retreated, I was afraid that Yeluzong would really ask him for blame, so he was also anxious at this time.

But at this moment, suddenly I saw a cavalry coming to the city, and the generals led by him couldn't help but sigh when they saw the Liao soldiers who were demoralized and numb, and then said to the Liao generals in charge of command: "Withdraw, if you continue to force it like this, I'm afraid the soldiers will rebel!" ”

The Liao general who commanded knew that the person who came was Yelu Renxian, but he was still a little hesitant at this time and said: "But Your Majesty is there"

"Your Majesty, I will explain there, you can lead the soldiers back to rest for a while!" Yelu Renxian was also very helpless at this time, although the military order is like a mountain, but these soldiers in front of him have reached the point of exhaustion, not only physical exhaustion, but also abnormal spirit, if you continue to force it like this, I am afraid that it will really be a mutiny.

Yelu Renxian's prestige in the army is very high, after all, he turned the tide and saved Yelu Zongzhen, it can be said that the main credit for Yelu Zongzhen's current situation is due to Yelu Renxian, so the Liao general who commanded him also nodded reassuringly when he heard his assurance, and then blew the horn to collect the troops and return to the camp.

Looking at the Liao army soldiers who were still expressionless even when they retreated, Yelu Renxian couldn't help frowning, with the attack on Gubeikou was unfavorable, he had already found that the morale of the army was falling again and again, and so many people died every day, which led to the low mood of the soldiers, and even the mood of war weariness, if it continued like this, I am afraid that let alone attack Gubeikou, then the Liao army itself will rebel first.

Thinking of the above, Yelu Renxian couldn't help but sigh, but he had already tried his best, during this time he persuaded Yelu Zongzhen many times to abandon Gubeikou and take advantage of the fast speed of their cavalry to march from other directions, but Yelu Zongzhen didn't listen at all, but instead intensified his efforts to force the army to attack the city, but in addition to causing greater casualties, it had no effect at all.

However, now the army has suffered heavy casualties, and the morale is completely lost, even if it is useless to abandon Gubeikou, so Yelu Renxian has always wanted to persuade Yelu Zong to really withdraw from the army, but he didn't dare, because he understood Yelu Zong's sincere and arrogant nature, and it was too difficult to make him admit defeat, maybe he would be angry and blame himself, so now Yelu Renxian is also very hearty when he speaks in front of him.

Originally, like today's situation, Yeluren didn't have to worry about it first, because he had violated Yeluzongzhen's order by letting the Liao army besieging the city retreat without authorization, and Yeluzong really could use this as an excuse to ask him about his crime, but Yeluren didn't care about it first, after all, if he forced these soldiers to rebel, it might cause more serious consequences.

Thinking of this, Yeluren sighed again, and then turned his head to look at the tragic battlefield under Xiguan City, and then turned his horse's head and returned to the Liao army camp, but although he didn't sleep all night, he didn't go back to his camp, but personally came to Yelu Zongzhen's big tent to take the initiative to ask for guilt.

At this time, it was already dawn, and Yelu Zongzhen also woke up quickly, and when he learned the news that the army besieging the city had withdrawn without authorization at night, he was also very annoyed, and then Yelu Renzhen was the first to plead guilty, which made Yelu Zongzhen also roar angrily: "Yelu Renxian, do you know what the consequences of disobeying the military order are? ”

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers are guilty, but at that time, the morale of the soldiers was completely gone, and the physical strength was exhausted, and the generals who supervised the war had killed a few people, but they still couldn't drive the soldiers, if you force it again, I'm afraid it will only cause more serious consequences, please think twice!" Yeluren stepped forward first and said in a deep voice.

Yelu Ren first knew Yelu Zongzhen's character very well, so he first asked for guilt when he opened his mouth, and then explained the reason why he did it at that time, because only in this way would Yelu Zongzhen have the patience to listen to his explanation of the reasons behind it.

However, although Yelu Zongzhen listened to his explanation, he was still very annoyed and roared again: "No matter what the reason, now, this time I must take Gubeikou, if everyone disobeys the military order like you, what else can I command the army?" ”

Facing Yelu Zong's real questioning, Ye Lu Ren couldn't help but lower his head first, he had long expected that Ye Lu Zong would really get angry, but he didn't have any way, and now he could only carry it.

Seeing that Yelu Ren didn't speak, Yelu Zong was really angry, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a person hurriedly barging in and saluting Ye Lu Zongzhen: "Your Majesty is angry, Brother Ren Xian is also thinking about the army, and please understand his hard work!" ”

The person who came in was Yelu Zhirang, and he only heard about it after he woke up, so he immediately ran to Yelu Zongzhen to intercede, after all, he had a very good relationship with Yelu Renxian, and the other party also saved his life, of course, the most important thing is that Yelu Renxian is extremely talented, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that Yelu Zongzhen alone would not be able to support the Liao State at all.

Compared with Yelu Renxian, Yelu Zongzhen trusts Yelu Zhirang more, after all, the two of them have been studying since Xie Qi, and Yelu Zhirang is not like Yelu Renxian, from time to time he says something he doesn't like to hear, and now seeing Yelu Zhirang pleading, this makes Yelu Zongzhen's anger temporarily calm down.

"The capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, temporarily remove Yelu Renxian from military power, and then do it again in the future!" In the end, Yelu Zongzhen spoke again, and Yelu Zhirang was also relieved to hear this, although he was relieved of the military power, he did not remove Yelu Renxian's position, as long as he waited until after this war, Yelu Renxian would still be reused.

However, when Yeluren first heard that he was going to be relieved of his military power, he was even more disappointed in his heart, originally when he mastered the military power, he could also make additions to some of Yeluzong's real omissions, but now he doesn't even have military power, he can only watch Yeluzong really do it, and judging from the current situation, if he doesn't withdraw his troops, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny in the camp.

Thinking of this, Yelu Renxian also felt a hot brain, and then took a step forward very impulsively and said again: "Your Majesty, now the soldiers have no fighting spirit and morale, and even the grain, grass and livestock are about to run out, and if they continue to fight, they will only suffer casualties, so please think twice, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as Yelu Renxian spoke, Yelu Zhirang next to him felt a little bad, and even quietly pulled his sleeve to remind him not to talk nonsense, but Yelu Renxian didn't care about personal gains and losses at this time, and finally said it, after all, he really couldn't bear to watch these tens of thousands of troops all buried under Xiguan City.

However, although Yelu Renxian was loyal, with Yelu Sect's true temperament, he couldn't listen to it at all, but instead reprimanded angrily again: "Presumptuous, I can't allow you to point fingers and come to people, remove Yelu Renxian's official position, and demote him to a concubine!" ”

Yelu Zhirang next to him was also very anxious when he heard this, and immediately opened his mouth to intercede for Yelu Ren first, but Yelu Zongzhen didn't listen at all, and instead asked Ye Lu Ren to be imprisoned first, and now Ye Lu Zhirang had no choice.

Yelu Renxian seemed to have expected Yelu Zong's true reaction, and he did not have any angry expression when he was escorted down, but said in a very calm and loud voice: "Your Majesty, there is no benefit for the army to stay any longer, please make a decision as soon as possible, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that it will only make the Song army arrest."

"Drag it off!" Before Yeluren could finish speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Yelu Zongzhen, and then Yeluren was dragged out of the big tent by the guards, leaving the angry Yelu Zongzhen and the anxious Yelu Zhirang.
