Not far from Han Yanhui's departure from the city, he was confronted by a team of palace guards, led by none other than Shu Luping, who was dressed in military uniform. In the process of Yelu Abaoji's southern and northern wars, Shu Luping always stayed in the rear, often leading his clansmen and troops to resist the robbers who took advantage of the fire, and he was already a veteran in the army.

Shu Luping reined in the war horse, and when he saw Han Yanhui's anxious appearance of sweating profusely, his heart suddenly sank, and he asked sharply, "Where is the emperor now?" ”

Han Yanhui dismounted and said with tears: "The emperor treats each other at the city gate, and the queen will go to see each other quickly!" ”

After a while, Shu Luping stiffened - standing in the city tower, biting his red lips and looking at Yelu Abaoji, who had been completely silent, burst into tears, the world seemed to have collapsed in her sad eyes, and the red dress and black armor could no longer make her heroic, but instead set off her body to look extremely delicate and thin.

I don't know how long it took, when Shu Luping reappeared in front of Han Yanhui and the others, there were no tears on her face, and although the sadness in her eyes was still bottomless, her eyes were so calm that she looked cold, making her look chilling from the bottom of her heart.

"Has the Generalissimo arrived?" Shu Luping looked at Han Yanhui, and his voice did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"Queen, it should be almost there." Han Yanhui replied cautiously, his heart was full of Lu Ping's words: The war outside the city is tight, there must be no commander in front, and the prince must be responsible for breaking the enemy, so there is no need to summon His Royal Highness the prince back to the city for the time being, just let the generalissimo come back immediately.

How could Han Yanhui not know that Shu Luping's move was intended to support Yelu Deguang to succeed to the throne?

Shu Luping's piercing gaze swept over the faces of the ministers, and he slowly spoke: "The emperor's funeral, this palace hopes that no one will know about it except for everyone present, otherwise the army will be unstable and the country will be in chaos." After this battle, we will mourn! ”

After admonishing the ministers about the secret mourning, Shu Luping continued: "At the moment of the great enemy, the two sides are fighting fiercely, the emperor is mourning, and our grief is beyond words, but at this moment, according to the emperor's last order, another new monarch is set up to stabilize the overall situation and lead the Khitan to win this battle, which is the most important thing. The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and now it needs a new monarch to preside over all affairs in order to live up to the emperor's hard work. ”

When he said this, Yelu Deguang stepped on the city quickly, and when he saw the scene of the city tower, he couldn't help but be stunned, and without waiting for him to speak, Shu Luping looked at Yelu Deguang solemnly, and said in a calm but unquestionable tone: "Generalissimo, you come in with the palace." "Let's go into the city tower first.

Jerod didn't know why, he didn't know why he was suddenly called back when the war was in the middle of the war.

After a long time, Shu Luping and Yelu Deguang reappeared at the door one after another, Shu Luping was still calm, and Yelu Deguang was still tear-stained.

Standing on the steps and looking condescendingly at the ministers, Shu Luping said coldly: "Half of the most important military and political ministers of the Khitan are here, you have always been the pillars of the country, and the emperor conspires with the military and the government, now, please decide on a major event that will determine the fate of the Khitan!" ”

Shu Luping's eyes were cold, and he stabbed the ministers in front of him like a sharp blade, "I just told you that the country cannot be without a king for a day. At present, among the princes, the only ones who can be the new monarch are the prince and the marshal. Now, please choose the new monarch among the two for the Great Khitan Kingdom! ”

Ignoring the noise of the ministers, Shu Luping said strongly: "I wish to serve the prince as the new monarch and set up the left side; May the generalissimo be the new monarch and stand on the right side! ”

Yelubei was not present, and Shu Luping asked the ministers to choose a new king, and his intention was already clear. Moreover, the crown prince is the prince of a country, and when the first emperor collapsed, the crown prince naturally succeeded to the throne, and at this time, Shu Luping actually asked the ministers to choose, and there is no need to explain what the intention is.

Over the years, Yelu Abaoji and Shu Luping have long intended to support Yelu Deguang to succeed to the throne, how many Khitan courtiers don't know?

In the original history, Yelu Abaoji died on the way back from the Bohai Sea, and after Yelu Deguang and Yelu Bei returned to the court, Shu Luping ordered the ministers to choose a new monarch, and signaled Yelu Deguang with his eyes, and the ministers then took Yelu Deguang's horse. This shows Shu Luping's prestige and power in the Khitan.

Except for Yelu Abaoji, Shu Luping is the most powerful person in the Khitan at the moment

After learning that Yelu Deguang had been recalled to the city, Yelube's journey to the city gate was non-stop.

Along the way, his face was gloomy and his mind was in turmoil.

Yelu Abaoji contracted a disease in the Bohai Sea, and on the way back, he became seriously ill, and when he returned to the West Building, he lived in the deep palace to recuperate, and these Yelu Bei were clear. Originally, Yelu Abaoji suddenly led the troops into battle in high spirits, and Yelu Bei was also very surprised, but he never thought that Yelu Abaoji was returning to the light, and he didn't expect that Yelu Abaoji was very likely to be dead at this time.

Since Yelu Abaoji is very likely to have died at this time, Yelu Deguang was called back, but he was not arraigned, what this means, Yelu knows very well.

Yelu Abaoji and Shu Luping want to support Yelu Deguang to succeed to the throne, which is even more of a long time, and he was made the crown prince, which is just the result of Yelu Abaoji following the example of the Central Plains Dynasty when he established the country.

Over the years, Yelubei has been treated indifferently and dealt with innumerable, and he has long been disheartened, otherwise, he would not have entered into an alliance with Li Congjing.

But in the past two years, Yelu Bei originally thought that with his achievements, Yelu Abaoji would change his mind a little, but he never thought that at this last moment, Yelu Abaoji would still want to establish Yelu Deguang.

From ancient times to the present, as a prince and being deposed, as a prince and unable to succeed to the throne, how the fate is the same, Yelubei knows very well. He hated, gritted his teeth with hatred, although he had already hated Yelu Abaoji, and he had already hated him so much that he was disheartened. He could understand Yelumin's move to run away in the first place, and if it were him, he would have chosen it the same way.

He is the crown prince, but he has never been treated as a prince, and he has never been regarded as a prince by Yelu Abaoji.

At the gates, Jerubi slammed his horse's reins and stopped.

He broke out in a cold sweat, and after the initial anger, when he calmed down and thought about the situation, he knew what he would face if he returned to the city at this time, and Yerod Guang had been identified as the new king.

At this time, a man rushed out of the city. This man was a henchman of Jerube, who had just slipped out of the city, and he told him that Jerubean was indeed dead, and that Jerod had been chosen as the new king.

Yelubei closed his eyes, took a hard breath, and opened his eyes for a long time, in the flickering lights, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and the aura exuded from his body actually made people feel colder than this cold night, "Father, you are so ruthless!" Good, good! Since you treat your sons like this, don't blame me! ”

With that, he turned his horse, approached the city gate, and ran back to the army.

At this time, Yelu Bei only thought that Yelu Abaoji would make Yelu Deguang the new king, but he didn't know that Yelu Abaoji actually wanted their brothers to work together and retreat from the strong enemy first - but that was not fundamentally different from the current situation.

On the tower of the city, Shu Luping was very satisfied that all the ministers were on the side of Yelu Deguang. Now that the new monarch has been decided, it is time for the new monarch to take power, control the situation, and remove the last obstacles.

Shu Luping gave an order: "Spread Yelubei back to the city!" ”

At present, the enemy is not what she will do with Yelubei immediately, but house arrest is essential, lest Yelubei make any bad moves at this critical time, and announce to the outside world that Yelubei will temporarily defend the imperial capital, which will not have much impact on this war, after all, breaking the enemy at this time is the most important thing, and everyone will not have the energy to think too much about other issues, and when this war is won, when the prince's party wants to do something, it will be too late.

Yelu Deguang looked at the ministers, and his hands trembled a little with excitement. Although in order to stabilize the prince's party, his succession to the throne will not be put on the table for the time being, and the death of Yelu Abaoji will not be announced to the public, but after all, everything is a foregone conclusion. Thinking that he would eventually become the Khitan emperor, Yelu Deguang really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.

Yelu Deguang's thinking was a little chaotic because of his ups and downs, but Shu Luping was always calm, and she also gave an order to King Qin's division: no longer move forward, camp on the spot.

The situation in the West Building is turbulent, and the local military forces are intervening at this time, and they may not be able to indicate which side to support, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, they cannot be allowed to appear outside the imperial capital.

The division of the king of Qin on the left and right was very close to the imperial capital, and the Khitan army outside the city of Xilou was already victorious, even if it did not win, it would not be defeated. In terms of taking 10,000 steps back, even if it is defeated, it will not be defeated, and there will be time to dispatch the division of King Qin to act

After Li Congjing met with Yelubei, he did not return to the command building, but sat in front of the battle.

From time to time, news was transmitted to the command building, and then reported to Li Congjing through the command building.

Tao Yaoyao, Li Shaocheng, and Li Yanchao reported one after another:

"The elite cavalry of the Youzhou army has isolated the rebellious troops!"

"General Li Yanchao galloped into the chaos army, killed the chieftain of the pine forest department, and shocked the enemy!"

"The hidden killer of the Military Intelligence Department suddenly rose up, cooperated with the elite cavalry, killed the black car room Wei troublemaker, and rescued the black car room Wei chief!"

"The Tatar princess Ahri and General Li Shaocheng worked together to stabilize the mood of the ministries and publish the evidence of the crimes of the ministry!"

"The first sin is punished, and all departments are at peace!"

Li Congjing looked at the battlefield in front of him with a deep gaze. Because of the rebellion in the steppe tribes, the formation of the coalition forces has been precarious, and although the turmoil has been reduced to a minimum, the current battle, if there is no turnaround, will continue like this, and it will not last until dawn.

Before the end of the day, a whistle rocket was raised in the Khitan army—that was the signal that Yelubei gave him.

"It is difficult to predict the impermanence of the world, and the rise and fall are always due to personnel." The corners of Li Congjing's mouth finally showed a smile, and a hanging heart was finally put down.

At the end of the day, the Khitan army suddenly retreated, revealing a large gap, and the main forces and flanks of the Khitan troops were exposed!

Li Congjing then ordered the Tatar troops to defend the camp, and the Youzhou army attacked without reservation!

The shouts of the coalition army shook the heavens and the earth: Yelu Abaoji is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!

At five o'clock, the Khitan army was in chaos!

At the end of the day, most of the Khitan army was defeated!

On the upper floor of the Khitan Imperial Capital, Shu Luping and Yelu Abaoji saw the tragic situation of the battlefield in their eyes, and their faces were all pale, and they could no longer maintain their demeanor at this moment, and their eyes were full of panic.

"The queen, the generalissimo, the crown prince still refuses to return to the city under orders!"

"Get out!"

Yelu Deguang scolded, "Is Yelu crazy?!" He is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! ”

During the previous period, Shu Luping and Yelu Deguang received reports one after another, Yelu Bei first ordered the descendants of the army to retreat suddenly, and then the princes and party forces in the army retreated one after another, and Yelu Deguang's forces were completely isolated and exposed in front of the coalition troops without knowing it, and were suddenly attacked by the Youzhou army, with heavy casualties, and finally defeated.

Yelu Bei sold Yelu Deguang, and the military strength he ordered to retreat was preserved, while Yelu Deguang's capital was sold by him to the Youzhou army, and it was almost gone.

In this battle, Yelu Deguang's strength was greatly damaged, and the neutral forces also suffered heavy casualties, and the military strength controlled by Yelu Bei stood out outside the imperial capital, becoming the only powerful Khitan army outside the West Building.

But don't expect this Khitan army to do anything to the Youzhou army.
