When Yang Yi was in Waqiao Pass, the capital of the Liao Kingdom was already full of wolf smoke, with corpses piling up like mountains and rivers of blood.

Relying on the lofty mountains and mountains of the remaining veins of the Daxing'an Mountains, Shangjing City is a vast grassland in front, and the upper reaches of the Huang River and its tributaries are on the side, and you can enter the land of Liaohai Sea along the river, and you can enter the belly of the Inner Mongolia Plateau by tracing the river up through the Daxing'an Mountains;

Strategically, it is a key point that should be attacked and defended; Moreover, the water and grass on the river on both sides of the river are abundant, and the climate is suitable for farming and grazing, which is a treasure land for building a city.

Starting from the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, Shangjing City has been expanded by the Liao lord in successive dynasties, forming a grand scale composed of two cities in the north and south, the plane is slightly in the shape of "day", the circumference is as long as 18 miles, and the city wall is as high as three zhang.

The 30,000 troops of the Dark Thorn Mali tried to capture the capital city before the arrival of Wanyan Aguda, in order to quickly strengthen themselves, and at the same time relied on the strong city to fight against Wanyan Agu, so the siege battle was fought extremely desperately.

In the capital of Shangjing, led by the Wei King Yelu and Lu Hu, they resisted hard, Yelu and Lu Hu were the second sons of Yelu Zongzhen of Liao Xingzong, the younger brother of Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong, and the uncle and grandfather of Yelu Yanxi.

If it weren't for this, the news of Yelu Yanxi's more than 300,000 troops would have been wiped out, and I am afraid that the defenders of Shangjing would collapse without the attack of Spur Mali.

But Yelu and Lu Wei are old after all, they are in their sixties, and they were seriously injured in the battle with Chang Shidi last year, and they have not yet recovered, and they look like a broken candle in the wind.

This made the soldiers and civilians in the city suspicious of him, and their morale was extremely low, with 30,000 defenders empty, and under the onslaught of the same forces in the city, the situation in Shangjing was precarious.

Because most of the important ministers of the decision-making level of the Liao State were captured with Yelu Yanxi's personal expedition, some officials in the capital fled south privately before the siege of Wulu Mali, which made the situation in the city even worse. Commander-in-Chief Logistics.

Dressed in military uniform, with a bow and a sword, and more than 20 guards, Yerutri galloped across the south street opposite the Chengtian Gate, the main gate of the palace, and the people of the city were ordered to stay at home. Pedestrians on the streets are almost extinct. Only a small number of soldiers were guarded at the street entrance.

According to the practice of the Liao State, the Chengtian Gate is usually not opened, and the main gate of the palace is only opened when the grand ceremony is held; Usually entering and exiting the palace court, it is through the palace gate opened on the east and west sides of the palace wall. The gate opened on the east wall is called Donghua Gate. The one that was opened on the west wall was called Xihua Gate.

Although the Liao State is now powerful, this main gate is still closed, like a king, guarding his last dignity.

The eldest princess of Yue Guo rode into the Donghua Gate and went straight to the North Privy Council north of the Kaihuang Palace. The Northern Privy Council ignored civil affairs, and was in charge of the affairs of the Khitan tribes and subject countries, and commanded the Khitan soldiers and horses.

This yamen, which was once powerful in the world, now looks extremely depressed, and the Khitan Palace guards guarding here have a worried look on their faces, and Yelutri can't help but feel sour in his heart.

"Terry is here, how long can the grain and grass in the city last?" When Jerod and Lu Hu saw her come in in a hurry, they opened their mouths and asked about the grain and grass in the city.

The officers of the Northern Privy Council will be in a hurry. All of them looked solemn, there were a lot of confetti on the ground, the wind came outside the door, rolling and fluttering, and everywhere exuded a sense of defeat.

Yelu and Lu Huqiang dragged the sick body. Sitting behind the sandalwood table, he coughed twice from time to time, his face was pale and haggard, and the two palace maids were waiting beside him with medicine.

"Uncle Huang. It is not a problem for the grain and grass in the city to support for a month, Uncle Huang, you should drink the medicine first. ”

Jerutri went up and took the medicine bowl from the maid's hand. personally waited for Yelu and Lu Wei to take the medicine, and then sighed: "Uncle Huang, I just went to the city to take a look, the situation is extremely bad, the enemy rebels are attacking fiercely, but the defenders in our city are demoralized, the casualties are extremely heavy, and even deserters have appeared, and reinforcements from Zhongjing and other places have not arrived for a long time, Uncle Huang, what should we do, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't last long?" ”

Yelu and Lu Wei sighed gloomily, and after driving out those palace maids and attendants, they said to Yelutri earnestly: "Your Majesty has not heard from me so far, and the whole country is panicking, and I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for reinforcements when I go to the capital." ”

Yelutri listened quietly, and there was a burst of sadness in his heart, and the Liao Kingdom now had no other troops to use except for the two capitals in the southwest;

Needless to say, because of the long distance, even if reinforcements are sent, I am afraid it will be too late, as for Nanjing, there are no reinforcements to come, and it is estimated that they will not come.

Yelu and Lu Wei continued: "Terry, listen, I have just received news that the army of Wanyan Aguta is less than a hundred miles away from Shangjing, and if I expect it to be correct, the traitor of Wuspur Mali will soon withdraw from the siege to avoid the edge of Wanyan Aguta;

As soon as the siege is withdrawn, Terry will take your cousin and go to Nanjing, if Shangjing is lost, Zhongjing and Xijing will not be able to defend it, and it will definitely not be able to be saved;

Only Nanjing's related mountain arch guards, when the time comes, may be able to keep, Nanjing's left-behind Xiao Yi and I have a good relationship in the past, you take your cousin to Nanjing, he will try his best to protect you. ”

"Uncle Huang, what about you? Aren't you going with us to Nanjing? ”

"Shangjing is where my ancestors' foundation is, I am the son of Xingzong, the prince of Daliao, how can I abandon my ancestors' foundation in order to survive my life, this king will defend Shangjing with this remnant body, and swear to live and die with Shangjing."

"Uncle Huang..............."

"Terry, you don't need to say more, just listen to Uncle Huang and me, take your cousin and go to Nanjing, you are my princess of Da Liao, you can't fall into the hands of traitors no matter what, go, you go and get ready immediately, as soon as the siege is withdrawn, I will let Xiao Shun lead five hundred men and horses to escort you out of the city, go quickly!"

"Uncle Huang!" Jerutri's eyes were clouded with tears, and his liver and intestines were about to break.

Yelu and Lu Wei lowered their faces and reprimanded: "Go quickly! Shan'er will entrust it to you. ”

Yelutri looked at the frosty sideburns of the imperial uncle, choked up, and under the repeated reprimands of Yelu and Lu Wei, she bowed down, and then hid her face and left.

Yelu and Lu Wei were not bad, they were attacking the Wujing Mali in the capital, and after hearing that Yan Aguta's army was close to a hundred miles, they had to order the withdrawal of the army and flee westward into the vast grassland;

This is also a helpless move, he stormed Shangjing for three days, Shangjing has thick walls, although the morale of the defenders is not high, but with the strong city to defend, it still caused him huge casualties;

Now the 30,000 horses have already become tired soldiers, if they don't leave, as soon as the hundreds of thousands of troops that have finished Yan Agu's fight arrive, I am afraid that they will not be able to leave if they want to.

Soon after the siege of Wuspur Mali was withdrawn, the eldest princess of Yue took the grandsons of Yelu and Lu Wei, and under the escort of Xiao Shun, a confidant of Yelu and Lu Wei, with five hundred palace guards, she went out of the city from the Dashun Gate in the south and hurried towards Nanjing.
