Chapter 283: Retreat from the Battle of Moxi
Yeluqi changed his attitude so quickly, which made Liu Ji stunned, but Liu Ji quickly shouted to Yeluqi outside the city: "Since the king of Youli is so happy, then I, Liu Ji, will not ink, the king of Youli only needs to take out 6,000 war horses, and he can exchange nearly 3,000 Khitan prisoners captured by our Ji'an army back, presumably 6,000 war horses, for the king of Youli, there must be no problem."

The reason why Yeluqi happily agreed to pay the ransom was because Yeluqi had thoroughly figured out that their Khitan army would never continue to fight to the death with Liu Ji's army here in Moxi City.
This time, the three Khitan kings led an army of 220,000 to crusade against Liu Ji, which was essentially just a battle of will, even if their Khitan army really wiped out Liu Ji, Jue'an County would not become the territory of the Khitans, and the benefits they would get from this Khitan army were limited, after all, Jue'an County was too far away from the Khitans' sphere of influence.
Now that the loss of their Khitan army has exceeded 90,000 people, it is pointless to continue fighting, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, as for whether his father Khan will not be able to swallow this breath, and then send troops to attack Liu Ji, it will be a matter for the future.
Hearing that Liu Ji only offered a ransom of 6,000 war horses, Yeluqi couldn't help but be a little surprised, in fact, 6,000 war horses is a lot of wealth for the Jin Kingdom, especially the border troops of the four northern states of the Great Jin Dynasty, the demand for war horses is even more scarce, but Liu Ji proposed to exchange 6,000 war horses for nearly 3,000 Khitan prisoners of war, which makes people inevitably a little strange, you must know that Liu Ji's cavalry is more than 100,000, basically one person and two horses, and he doesn't care about 6,000 war horses at all.
Yeluqi was ready for Liu Ji to open his mouth, but he didn't expect that Liu Ji only needed six thousand war horses, Yeluqi frowned slightly, he felt that things should not be so simple.
Sure enough, Liu Ji shouted next: "King Youli, there is one more thing I have to tell you, your two subordinates, Denggeril and Shu Luhe, yesterday when the cavalry under Ben Taishou escorted the prisoners of war to Moxi City, they took advantage of the chaos and fled, you don't care about Ben Taishou's important people, Ben Taishou can't hand over these two people!" ”
When Yeluqi heard this, the anger in his eyes soared instantly, but Yeluqi took a deep breath and calmed down his anger before shouting to Liu Ji on the city wall: "Liu Taishou, the Ming people don't say dark words, Denggeril still has Shuluhe, even if they can really escape, they will definitely return to the Khitan camp north of Moxi City, but this king has not seen them, what is Liu Taishou's explanation?" ”
Liu Ji touched his nose and shouted: "Maybe they got lost, or fled directly back to your Khitan lair, anyway, the two of them fled, and nearly three thousand Khitan prisoners of war Ben Taishou promised you, and it was not bad for Denggeril, Shulu and those two people." ”
Yeluqi was silent for a moment and then shouted: "In this way, if Liu Taishou can return Dengerile and Shuluhe to this king, this king is willing to add another 6,000 war horses on the basis of 6,000 war horses, a total of 12,000 war horses, what if Liu Taishou wills?" ”
Liu Ji shrugged his shoulders and shouted: "King Youli, Ben Taishou really wants to get six thousand more war horses, but Denggeril still has Shu Luhe, he really fled, as for why he didn't return to your Khitan camp, Ben Taishou doesn't know!" ”
Yeluqi frowned, could it be that Denggeril and Shuluhe really escaped? But can they really escape from the custody of the Jin people? If they escaped, why didn't they return to the camp?
Liu Ji saw that Yeluqi was a little hesitant, and immediately shouted: "King Youli, can you still change the prisoners of war?" If you change prisoners of war, you should quickly let people escort 6,000 war horses to the north city gate, and Ben Taishou also let people escort nearly 3,000 Khitan prisoners of war outside the north city gate! ”
Yeluqi sighed secretly, since he had made up his mind to lead the troops to retreat, and he couldn't be entangled in whether Dengeril, Shulu and the two could be put back, Yeluqi immediately raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger and tapped it a few times at Liu Ji on the city wall, and then pulled his horse and withdrew to the main formation of tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry.
Liu Ji looked at Yeluqi and nodded to himself a few times, and suddenly felt a little confused, what does Yeluqi mean by this? Did you say yes or didn't?
Liu Ji turned his head to Ding Lin who was following him and asked, "Old Ding, what do you mean by this Khitan God of War?" Did he agree or didn't agree? ”
Ding Lin said: "Don't worry, the lord can rest assured, his subordinates should have agreed to the lord's request, and he should send six thousand war horses over in a while, but ......"
"But what?"
"But what that Yeluqi meant, it seems to mean that he remembers you, my lord!"
It is definitely not a pleasant thing to be remembered by a Khitan god of war with a force value of up to 99 points, but Liu Ji didn't care too much, the Khitan sphere of influence is thousands of miles away from Ju'an County, and it is impossible for the Khitans to send troops to attack them again and again.
That Yeluqi's force value is as high as 99 points, if you face Liu Ji alone, killing Liu Ji is like crushing an ant to death, but don't forget that Liu Ji has many top generals under his command, not to mention that now Liu Ji has a puppet bodyguard Liu He with a force value of 99 points, Liu Ji is not afraid of any Khitan god of war at all!
It didn't take long for the Khitans to escort 6,000 war horses to the north gate of Moxi City, and then Liu Ji did not miss the appointment, and let nearly 3,000 Khitan prisoners of war be escorted out of the north gate, and the two sides immediately exchanged.
Among the tens of thousands of Khitans outside Moxi City, Shu Lugen rode on a horse and said anxiously to Yeluqi: "Lord, my brother must be in Liu Ji's hands, Liu Ji will definitely not let people go!" ”
Yeluqi said in a deep voice: "Liu Ji said that your brother Shu Luhe and Dengeril have escaped, what do you want me to do?" Do you want to stay here and fight with Liu Ji's army? ”
Shu Lugen saw Yeluqi's gloomy face, opened his mouth and didn't say anything more, but a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
At this time, Yelu Amu, the Khitan right letter king next to him, sighed and said to Yeluqi: "Old Seventeen, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, let's go!" When there is a chance in the future, we will come to this big Jin dove tiger to settle accounts! ”
Yeluqi said in a cold voice: "Liu Ji! I remember this man, and one day, I, Yeluqi, will slaughter him with my own hands! Passing on the order of the king, the whole army immediately retreated in the direction of the Weishan Pass of the Anxing Mountains, and we went home! ”
