Compared with Yelu Deguang's downfall at this time, only Yelu was accompanied by Lugu, a person who was not close to him, but Yelu Bei was surrounded by many civil ministers and military generals, and Yelu Bei in the crowd smiled calmly and looked high-spirited. Seeing this scene, Yerod's face was as unabnormal as possible, but his eyes were a little hazy.

You must know that in the Khitan Kingdom before, because he was reused by Yelu Abaoji, he was scrambled by the important ministers, and it has always been him Yelu Deguang. And although Yelubei is the crown prince, he has actually lost his power day by day. It's just that since the defeat in Hulukou last year, Yelu Deguang has been going downhill, and Yelu Bei has repeatedly taken credit, and its momentum has gradually gained the meaning of countering Yelu Deguang.

And this time, the news of Yelu Deguang's defeat at Gubeikou came back to the Khitan, which undoubtedly made many people closer to the Khitan prince, who should have been justified and supported by most of his subjects.

Yelu Deguang deliberately turned a blind eye to Yelu Bei, but among the civil and military generals who supported Yelu Bei, there were people with sharp eyes who spotted Yelu Deguang, and then he shouted in surprise and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Yerod Light.

Before returning to the West Building, Yelu Deguang had convinced himself on the way that although he was defeated this time, victory or defeat was a common thing in soldiers, and there was no need to worry, as long as he worked hard in the future, the glory still belonged to him, because he did not need to care about the eyes of others. However, when he saw the scenery of Yelube, and was looked at by the ministers with curiosity and suspicion, Yeludeguang found that his previous thoughts were too naïve.

Yelubei walked over to Yelu Deguang and greeted with a smile: "Brother Wang, are you back?" No matter how you are born without prior notice, you can welcome Lonely. "His demeanor is confident and calm, revealing an extraordinary bearing.

Yelu Deguang said indifferently: "The general of the defeated army, why not Prince Lao to greet him?" ”

Yelubei's smile revealed the kindness that others knew at a glance, "You have conquered the enemy for the Great Khitan, and you have contributed to the country, no matter whether you win or lose, you should welcome each other." ”

Seeing that Yelu Bei seemed to regard himself as the master of the Khitan, Yelu Deguang was even more unhappy in his heart, and he didn't want to say much to him, so he said coldly: "The prince is burdened with military and political burdens, how dare my brother disturb him?" The prince is here, presumably it is also important to be in charge, since this is the case, the younger brother is inconvenient to disturb, and the prince is invited to go by himself. ”

Yelubei's smile was mellow, making people feel like a spring breeze, "When Brother Wang returns, he must meet his father, and it just so happens that Gu is also called by his father, and you and I happen to go together." After that, he didn't give Yelu Deguang a chance to object, took his hand warmly, and walked towards the palace gate, "Look at you, you have lost weight like this, presumably it is very difficult to go back to conquer Li Congjing, then Li Congjing is very cunning, and it is really difficult to deal with." Lone led the army to the south last year, and only recaptured Yingzhou from him......"

What Yelubei said, in Yeludeguang's ears, the words were harsh, but he was pulled by Yelube, and he couldn't go away in front of the Buddha, so he had to follow Yelubei. Following behind Yelubei, he lost first in terms of momentum, and when the defeated army returned, Yelude just wanted to pretend that there was nothing unusual, which was also in vain. He was almost blackened by Jerube, who had been kept all the way to the Taiyi Temple, a stretch of road that symbolized glory and merit in the eyes of Yerod, but which tormented him immensely today.

The two entered the Taiyi Hall and saluted Yelu Abaoji, who sat behind the emperor's case.

"Get up." Yelu Abaoji's voice was light, he first looked at Yelu Bei, and asked with concern: "How are you preparing for the expedition?" ”

"Back to my father, everything is ready to go." Jerebe replied respectfully and confidently.

Hearing this, Yerod's heart sank slightly.

Yelu Abaoji nodded with satisfaction, ignoring Yelu Deguang's gaze at him, and said with a sense of expectation: "The road to the west has been almost cleaned up by Yelu's enemies, and you will inherit the achievements of the army the day before yesterday, and completely capture the party and the muddy land for my Great Khitan, and control the first line of Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, and Liangzhou." If possible, set foot on the Western Uighurs! ”

Jerebe agreed.

Yelu Abaoji continued: "When you pacify the Western Front and return successfully, you will take the army of great victory and go to the east to conquer the Bohai Kingdom with me!" ”

Hearing this, Yerod's expression was in a trance, and his heart suddenly felt sad and angry. The Western Expedition and the Eastern Expedition have all asked Yelubei to do it, what else do you want him Yelude to do? Yelu Deguang looked at Yelu Abaoji, and he didn't want to believe it, could it be that his father, who had been very fond of him before, was now going to give up on him?

The heart was so turbulent that Yelu Bei didn't know when Yelu Bei left the Taiyi Temple, and he didn't come back to his senses until Yelu Abaoji called him.

Yelu Abaoji looked at Yelu Deguang dissatisfied, "What kind of system is it that you can't give up like this!" Why, this time you suffered a loss in the hands of Li Congjing, which made you lose your mind? ”

Yelu Deguang said indignantly: "Father, this defeat is certainly a painful lesson, but no matter how strong Li Congjing is, how can he let his sons lose their temper so much." The sons and daughters are worried, but they have disappointed their fathers! ”

Yelu Abaoji snorted coldly, "You have been defeated again and again in the hands of Li Congjing, I am indeed disappointed!" He Li Congjing has three heads and six arms, so I am helpless to do anything about the two tigers, is Li Congjing too powerful, or are you too careless? ”

Yelu Deguang bowed deeply and said abruptly: "Father, the son and his ministers have made up their minds after this defeat, and they should no longer be ambitious, but should sink their hearts, temper them again, and sharpen their edges. With the ambition to taste the courage of lying on the salary, begging him to destroy Wu's merit one day! ”

"You can know it like this, but you didn't disappoint me, get up!" Yelu Abaoji said, walked out of the imperial case, came to Yelu Deguang, dressed up his robe for him, and said: "My warrior of the Great Khitan, when I am unforgiving, I Yelu Abaoji's dragon son, when the more I fight, the more courageous." A few setbacks are nothing, but if you lose again and again, I will not lose faith in you, and my subjects will no longer obey you, do you know? ”

Seeing that Yelu Abaoji was not too disappointed in him, Yelu Deguang immediately shook his spirits, "What my father taught me is that my sons and ministers must work hard. ”

Yelu Abaoji nodded and returned to the imperial chair, "When you meet Li Congjing, this is your fate, he has some skills, and those who have made great contributions must have strong enemies." If you have a strong enemy, you can always work hard, so let Li Congjing sharpen the stone for you, so that you can keep working hard! ”

……

Liaodong.

Outside the city of Jian'an.

Mo Li, Da Ming'an and others, in front of the army, looked up at this big city.

"In just ten months, we have captured half of Liaodong, and now, we have finally arrived under the city of Jian'an." Da Ming'an sighed with emotion and was full of spirit, "Take this city, and Liaodong will become a bag!" ”

Mo Li put away the folding fan that never left his body, put his hands behind his back, his face was calm, and he murmured: "Jian'an, Jian'an, it's a beautiful vision, but it's a pity that it is located in the land of the four wars, and this wish is just a castle in the air." ”
