No. 645 Parting of Ways The Third Shift

It was the leader of Yelu Chungke's personal guard who spoke, and he was also his righteous son, Jelu Puzhong.

"Go back to Yanjing Mansion! This is your only way out! Yelu Puzhong, you are now the new commander of the palace division army! Jeluzonke said with a sad look on his face.

"Yes! The subordinates will send people...... What the? Yelu Puzhong didn't care at first, and suddenly heard the words clearly, he looked up at his stepfather in surprise, and asked, "My lord, won't you go to Yanjing Mansion?" ”

Jerodonke shook his head and said, "If you don't go, you can't go." Now that His Majesty has died suddenly, and the Song people have blocked all the passages leading to other places on the Yanjing Road, I must bring the will and His Majesty's body back to Shangjing. Alas! A kingdom shall not be left without an owner for a day! ”

"How can that work? My lord, since the Song army has blocked the passage, if you don't take us with you, how can you easily pass through the blockade and return to Shangjing? Yelu Puzhong asked suspiciously.

"It's even more inconvenient if there are more people, if I bring fewer people on this trip, there is still a glimmer of life, even if I climb from Yanshan, it is possible to return to Shangjing, but if I bring a large group of people, I will definitely be discovered by the Song army, I have made up my mind, don't say it again." Speaking of which, Yelu Zhongke said without question.

After speaking, Yelu Zhongke pointed to Yelu Dashi again and introduced: "His name is Yelu Dashi, and he is my new guard. Pu Zhong, after I leave, you must remember that after entering Yanjing City, you should neither go to the banquet, nor leave the barracks, let alone have more contact with Yelu Yujian. If you encounter something urgent, if you can't make up your mind, you can go and discuss with him, he is the hero of this time, and he will be the military advisor I left to you. ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, he glanced at the kid who was favored by his father-in-law, yes, he killed the newly appointed commander, and Yelu Puzhong had a plan in his heart.

So, Yelu Zhongke took an ordinary soldier from the army who had little to do with him, and the little lieutenant who brought back His Majesty's corpse, and rode with him, took away more than 20 horses, and galloped away in the direction of Yanshan together.

Yelu Puzhong had always been obedient to his father-in-law, and on the way back later, he had to discuss anything with Yelu Dashi before making a decision.

Yelu Dashi also saw that this Yelu Puzhong was just a very good deputy, and his execution ability was very strong, but he was extremely unassertive, and Yelu Zhongke asked him to serve as the commander of the new palace army, which was really embarrassing for him.

However, this is also a good thing, at least, Yelu Zhongke explained clearly what should be said and what should not be said before leaving, and the new commander, who also has a high prestige in the army, will definitely strictly follow the words of the old commander after entering the Yanjing Mansion. In this way, their elite troops will not become pawns in the hands of Yelu Yujian.

Due to the lack of food, the prefecture and county towns along the way were indeed broken by the Song army, so the army of 60,000 people, starving along the way, traveled for less than three days, and finally rushed back to the north gate of Yanjing City.

Fortunately, the Song army in the outer city of the north gate also tacitly broke the siege suddenly, and Yelu Puzhong and the others returned to Yanjing Mansion very smoothly.

Yanjing City still opened the city gate for them, but after the city gate was opened, Yelu Puzhong and the others suddenly found that the defenders in the city gate were holding the weapons in their hands one by one, waiting for them, and their attitude towards them was as if they were facing the enemy.

"Guys, why are you back? Your Majesty, what about Lord Jerodonk? Sure enough, the person who came to greet them was not the Lord Liu, but the commander of the Southern Army, Yelu Yujian, who asked a series of questions as soon as he appeared.

You must know that he is the deputy commander of the Southern Army, and now that the Zhengdu and the remaining guards have not shown up, if anything happens in Yanjing City, it will not be his turn to come out to greet them.

Yelu Puzhong was really asked by Yelu Yu for a while, and this was Yelu Dashi who immediately came out to relieve him.

"Back to this lord, Lord Yelu Zhongke led a small team of men and horses to protect His Majesty, and has returned to Shangjing from other places. The reason why we came back was, firstly, because the grain and grass were looted by the Song army, and secondly, all the passages north of Yanjing were blocked by the Song army, and the army followed, which would drag down Your Majesty. Therefore, we did not go to live except to return to Yanjing. This is His Majesty's newly appointed commander of the palace army, Lord Yelu Puzhong, and below is the head of the personal guard of Lord Dutong. ”

"Oh!" Yelu Yu glanced at Yelu Dashi deeply, and suddenly said with a smile: "Hahaha, since Your Majesty is safe, this official is also relieved." Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the place to speak, please! ”

As the army entered the city, Yelu Yujian had prepared a large banquet to entertain Yelu Puzhong, but the newly appointed commander politely refused the other party's request on the grounds that he was injured.

"Dashi, as my stepfather expected, Yelu Yu really controlled the entire Yanjing Mansion. It's just that the left-behind adults are still down, but how could the righteous commander of the Southern Army let him succeed? When Yelu Puzhong returned to the tent, he consulted with Yelu Dashi alone and asked.

"It's very simple, the mother is more expensive than the son, he is the in-law of Concubine Wen and His Royal Highness, so naturally the tide rises and the boat rises. Therefore, there are naturally more people in the Yugoslav army who listen to him. The same is true of the Xiao Fengxian brothers in Shangjing. "It's still Yelu Dashi who can see clearly, in fact, this Yelu Yujian is not much different from Xiao Fengxian's brother. The key depends on what kind of person His Highness is.

Yelu Puzhong shook his head, this matter related to politics is really not something that he, a martial artist, can participate in, and said: "Forget it, whatever!" Anyway, as long as I do what my stepfather says, I won't get out of this camp, and he can't do anything about us. I don't know what happened to my father-in-law now? When will they be able to get to Shangjing? ”

"Yes! I hope that your Excellency will be able to feel like going to Beijing as soon as possible and assist His Highness in stabilizing the situation as soon as possible. Alas! Anyway, we won't be able to stay in Yanjing City for too long. Yelu Dashi sighed and said.

……

At this time, the situation of Yelu Zhongke and his party was mixed, they were very 'lucky' not to encounter any obstruction and pursuit by the Song army along the way, but the principal of the team was seriously ill.

Yelu Zhongke is not young after all, and besides, he had a qi attack before, and he strangled Yelu Yanxi with his own hands, and this double blow made him finally fall ill on the way.

However, he still stubbornly tied himself to the horse's back and crossed Yanshan with the team.
