Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun abandoned the cut and stepped on the east of the village, and with all their strength, they defeated Lai Youwei's troops, and then went straight to Weizhou.

Lai Youwei was so shocked that his soul was scattered, he was deeply afraid that Weizhou would be lost, and the blame could not be escaped, so he hurriedly packed up the remnants of the army, took the small road and rushed back to Weizhou to strengthen the defense.

At this moment, the urgent news of Mengjing's smoke came, but it was Huyan Aobo's voice that struck the west and pounced on Mengjing. Although Lai Youwei knew that he was not the opponent of Huyan Aobo, and it was even worse after dividing a part of the soldiers and horses to defend the city, he could not see death without help, so he had no choice but to leave a part of the men and horses to defend the city, and led the main force to Mengjing.

There are pros and cons to everything, the defender waits for work, relying on the fortified city and deep trenches can outnumber the enemy, but the attacker can grasp the initiative on the battlefield, attack the enemy and save it, and control the entire battlefield situation.

Lai Youbei was worried that Huyan Aobo would besiege the city and send reinforcements and eat his own soldiers and horses, so he was cautious all the way, and the scouts were thirty miles away, like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss, and finally rushed to Mengjing, but found that the city was full of fires, and it was a mess everywhere, Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun ransacked Mengjing City, plundered the rations of no less than five rì per person, and went non-stop.

Huyan Aobo and his entourage came and went in a hurry, and lit a fire again, but they didn't have time to kill too many people in the future, Mengjing County ordered Ye Jinglun to jump into the well to escape, but he didn't drown, after Huyan Aobo left, he climbed the well rope and climbed up again, Ye County Ling first counted out the loss of the family, the gold and silver were taken away by someone, the grain was snatched away, and the favorite concubine was pinched two buttocks, and the innocence was not too much......

Ye Xian Lingzheng's flesh was in pain, and suddenly he heard people shouting that there was another road into the city, bluffing him into disarray, and he hurriedly grabbed it out and jumped into the well, but fortunately, the undead little official jumped and shouted, as if he ran into the gate of the mansion like twisting a big Yangge, and told him that he was the arrival of reinforcements from Weizhou, and Ye Jinglun stopped his masochistic behavior. Ye Xian Ling hurriedly dusted off his robe and ran to welcome the reinforcements with a body of ice slag.

Lai Youwei entered the city and asked about the whereabouts of Li Jiyun and Huyan Aobo, Ye Xianling didn't know anything, Lai Youwei saw him like this, so he had to tell him to hurry up the disaster, appease the refugees, and count the losses. Ten of the best food in Mengjing Town have been robbed, and this winter will not be able to survive on their own, so they have to calculate the amount of food, and quickly report the disaster to the court for food.

Ye County ordered him to be reminded, hurry up to deal with business, Lai Youwei probed the horses out of all directions, inquired about the movements of Huyan Aobo and his party, the main direction of his exploration is the west and south, because to the west is the road to cut the village, to the south is the Qilian Mountains, although there is no road here, but the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, Huyan Aobo is cornered, and it is difficult to say that he will not go south to try his luck.

But this time he delayed a little more effort, and when he found out that Huyan Aobo had replenished the grain and grass, he actually went to the northeast, and couldn't help but be surprised, there was only one big city in the northeast, that was Yanzhou, Huyan Aobo didn't think about escaping, and actually went to attack Yanzhou again?

Lai Youwei immediately ordered his troops and horses and rushed to the mouth of the camel. It is a small town that cannot be seen on the map, with only a dozen households, but Yang Hao has set up a military post there, and also has a flying eagle and carrier pigeon, which is a point of the communication network that extends in all directions, and the details are only known to senior generals in the army.

Lai Youwei rushed to the mouth of the camel, and hurriedly sent the military situation to Lingzhou, Jingzhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou and all the gods and Buddhas......

When the news reached Youzhou, Ke Zhenwei immediately ordered his troops and horses to rush to the rescue. Ke Zhenwei is an old man who follows Yang Hao, although he is not a fierce general who uses soldiers like a god, but he is loyal, has no ambition, works diligently, is diligent and sincere, and has now been promoted to the commander of Youzhou. It should be at the same level, but Youzhou is richer than Yinzhou, and it is in the rear, not a border city bordering the Song army, so it can be regarded as a promotion.

Yang Hao transferred him to Youzhou, in addition to commending this Geng Zhong veteran, he also had some plans, Ke Zhenxi's loyalty should not be questioned, and now Xixia and Song are safe and sound, "But even if he is not intentionally raising thieves internally, it is also in crisis, Youzhou is close to Xia Prefecture, and it is convenient to go to Xingzhou, so he arranged this reassuring general in this position, but he didn't expect this to fulfill him."

Ke Zhenwei knew that his talent was insufficient, and he only relied on the efforts of the day after tomorrow, so he was very diligent in the past few years, and all the military books that he could get were rotten, and the dispatch of troops was quite orderly, and he had made great progress compared to the beginning. The last time in Yinzhou, there was obviously a chance to intercept Li Jiyun and Ye Luosu, but because Yang Hao wanted Shang Boqian to raise tigers, he pretended to miss and let them go.

In recent years, sleds have become a standing item of winter equipment for the Western Xia army, and the Kezhen Evil Department marched with a sleigh and rushed to Yanzhou. Every day, Ke Zhenwei did not lead the army to enrich the defense of the city, but only informed the defenders of the city of the news that his unit had arrived to calm his heart, and then started his best tactic in the south of the city: defense.

This road is the only way to go south from Yanzhou, Ke Zhenwei knows that the defenders everywhere have received the news, and they are rushing to help in the starry night, and Huyan Aobo is a hurried march, he can't bring heavy equipment, it is not easy to defeat Yanzhou, and when the soldiers and horses from all walks of life arrive, he still has to flee, flee back to the enthalpy of the village, there is Yang Yanlang guarding there, if he escapes from here, then he just intercepts Huyan Aobo's retreat, and he fights the idea of annihilating the enemy who is coming.

Yang Yanlang is a newborn calf with great momentum, while Ke Zhenwei has been silent for a long time, and has been looking forward to a blockbuster, and both of them have great appetites.

Of course, Liushaping is not far from Yanzhou, if Yanzhou really can't hold it, he can also cover up in time, hit Huyan Aobo hard, and relieve the siege of Yanzhou.

So, with Yanzhou as bait, Huyan Aobo, Ke Zhenxi, and Yang Yanlang showed their own magical powers, and they were all trying to be the yellow sparrow......

The banks of the Uluku River after the snow are beautiful and like paradise. A layer of fluffy white snow, like a soft carpet woven of wool, spreads all the way to the sky. The mountains are white, and the trees are white, white and soft like blooming wild cotton, making the whole plateau extraordinarily majestic and vast, as if the soul has been purified and sublimated in this wordless smoke. There are dotted felt bags, and a herd of horses hovering near the felt bags, with a different kind of face.

The air here is also cool and sweet, close your eyes and take a slow breath

, the moist and fresh wind will go straight into the heart and spleen, making people feel refreshed. The sun had risen to a pole's height, and there was still a faint hint of orange, so the light was very soft.

Appearing here, it is not a certain tribe, the army with strict appearance and discipline in the four corners makes the felt tent group in the middle, which seems to be a small tribe, reveal a bit of unusual taste.

This is the camp of the Liao Emperor for winter hunting.

Hunting, depending on the season, is divided into chūn 孺! , Xia Miao, Autumn Cat; , winter hunting four kinds, to show the emperor's martial arts. Although the Khitan people have established a country and changed the nomadic life of "living in water and grass in summer and caves in winter", the martial style in their bones has not disappeared with the settlement, and the hobby of hunting has been integrated into their blood and become a part of life.

Every year, the emperor goes on a winter hunt, not only to show that he does not forget his roots and inherit the legacy of his ancestors, but also to train the physique of the emperor and his army, because their distant ancestors are in such an environment and have cultivated a body of martial arts. Therefore, the emperor of the Liao State made bowls in all seasons, and was not in Beijing for most of the year, but hunted everywhere while dealing with state affairs.

However, the previous emperor was not in good health, and since he succeeded to the throne, he had never had a bowl hunt at all, and the current emperor was young, and the Liao State had not held a bowl siege for six or seven years. Therefore, this time the winter hunt is also very grand.

In fact, the emperor is only three or four years old, and he has to be held by others when he rides a horse, and the small bow he plays with is not much stronger than a slingshot, how can he hunt shè wolves? However, Empress Dowager Xiao chose the time of tribute from various countries to hold a winter hunt, so that they had to follow the praise, which was of great political significance, but no one dared to neglect it.

In the morning, the little emperor has been sitting on a horse with his mother, the Empress Dowager Xiao, he sat in front, and the Empress Dowager Xiao held his waist, shouting excitedly, chirping and chasing prey such as the free son and the fox, as for his small bow, he couldn't take it every day, and the palace guards were the palace guards, but the little emperor was happier than he personally hit the prey, huh...... To be precise, the emperor is playing, and those imperial relatives, ministers, and envoys of subject countries are all playing with the little emperor.

The head of the Hui tribe, Abeli, caught a fox with a fiery red fur and dedicated it to the little emperor, which made the little emperor very happy, and immediately pestered his mother to return to the felt tent so that he could play with his new toys.

Liao has four internal departments, ten outer departments, and the internal department has the Yao Yuan Nine Tent Clan, the Horizontal Tent Three Fathers Fang Clan, the National Uncle Tent Dial Li B Room Clan, and the National Uncle Other Divisions. The outer ten tribes are the ten tribes such as the Bird Ancient Division, the Eight Enemy Lie Divisions, and the Hui Tribe, and the Outer Ten Divisions cannot become a country, and they are vassals in Liao, and they are rebellious and subdued, and each has a job to pay tribute, just like the Tang Dynasty's restraint regime on the surrounding ethnic minorities, it has a certain degree of autonomy, but it is more controlled by the Liao people than the tribes such as Wei and Jurchen who have not established a country, but have a greater degree of zìyóu.

As soon as I saw the Abeli who returned to the ministry, the little emperor was happy, and even the queen mother who was too charming but could not be smiling, and the too majestic queen mother also smiled, and the other heads of the department couldn't help but secretly hate being preempted, if you want to please the queen mother, you should start with the little emperor, what kind of valuable things can children like, a small animal is enough to make him happy, why rack their brains like this, they really can't come up with anything that can make the queen mother's heart move.

Seeing the flattering and sycophantic appearance of the leaders of the various departments, Bu Bayar couldn't help but snort coldly, don't go overboard.

The emperor teased the fire fox that was locked in a cage, and his little face was red by the cold wind, "But it was full of joyful smiles, stretched out his teeth to find a gentle tease, the fox opened its mouth and bit it, and the little emperor quickly retracted

He laughed uncharacteristically.

"Mother, this fox, take it back to the palace, okay? The child loves it. ”

The emperor pulled Empress Dowager Xiao's sleeve and pleaded.

"Okay, if you like it, then take it back to the palace, but this is not a little rabbit, you can only do this

Look at it, you can't reach in and tease it, it's going to bite, you know? ”

Empress Xiao warmed her son's little ears like ingots with her hand, and smiled and agreed.

"Thank you, mother, mother's kiss is the best." The little emperor was very happy, a pair of lacquer-like eyes revealed a little proud, although the little guy was not big, but he knew that he had always begged his mother in such a pitiful tone, and there were few things that she did not agree. "Little guy, can't my mother really see that you are pretending to be well-behaved." Empress Xiao smiled dotingly, the cunning and smugness that flashed in her son's eyes really looked like his father, alas...... That man......"

The smile on Empress Xiao's face disappeared, slightly revealing a little bit of Xiao Suo, just at this moment, Bayari's cold snort came into her ears, Xiao Yu glanced at him, smiled faintly, and said: "Bayali, the emperor is hunting, I am very happy to hunt a lot, after all, I am still a child, hehe-, but you are not very happy, what is the matter, you might as well talk about it, the banquet is about to be held, and when the food and wine are on the table, we can take care of business." ”

Bayari is a straight man, Huo Di stood up suddenly, and said in a rough voice: "Queen Mother."

Mother, Bayari is not very happy, very unhappy!"

Bayari's words were shocked, and some of his friends were worried, and kept giving him glances, Bayari ignored it, and said loudly: "Niangniang, Bayari came this time, in addition to paying tribute to the court, there is another big thing, but it's not ...... Can you not go ......

He breathed heavily, pointed to the fox in the cage, and said, "It's not to accompany the little emperor to play so as not to tease the fox." ”

Xiao Xuan's pretty face sank as soon as she brushed the ground, so cold that she could peel off a layer of frost, and she asked coldly, "What else is going on?" ”

Bayari said: "In order to usurp the position of the patriarch, the tribe of our clan, Rì Gude, killed his own uncle, and betrayed his brother-in-law, the patriarch of China, causing him to die a tragic death. The patriarchs of our Wei tribes unanimously decided to crusade against this scum, and as a result, he fled to the Liao State, and was protected by your Liao King Yelu Daming, who is the common enemy of our Murwei tribes, and although we are vassals of the Liao State, there is no reason for the Liao State to interfere in such a matter. ”

"Oh? Damien, is there such a boast? ”

Yelu Daming smiled and nodded: "Queen Mother, the Ministry of Gude is indeed in Shangjing, and there has been some chaos in their clan, and Daming doesn't know." This ministry rì good virtue, to rì to the cultivation - the Liao Dynasty has always been respectful, and I have always been very filial, Daming accepted him as a godson, he is in trouble to vote, if I am a godfather, if I hand him over, what will others think? So, Damien left him behind, too

Bear with this...

Xiao Xuan smiled: "Oh, if that's the case, then there's nothing inappropriate."

She turned to Bayari and said, "It's not enough to kill people, this tribe has already abandoned its tribe and fled from its homeland, what else can it do?" Besides, Daming is his father-in-law, so he can't help but express it. ”

"Alright, alright, the banquet will start soon, everyone, take a seat."

Xiao Xuan said, he had already walked to the tent first, everyone hugged each other, and then left, Bayari was left behind, and his face was purple with anger. In fact, Xiao Sui did this, of course, there are reasons to maintain Yelu Daming's face, but there are deeper reasons, no matter how sinister and despicable and shameless this department is in the eyes of the Wei people, he is pro-Liao, and the discord between the Murowei tribes is also in the interests of the Liao State, how can the Liao State hand him over? If you do that, who else will dare to do things for Liaoguo in the future. Coupled with the fact that this Bayari has always been not only deferential, but Xiao Yu deliberately snubbed him, she has already decided to put pressure on several other powerful Murowei tribes to drive this Bayari to a corner, so why bother to give him a good face.

At the banquet, there was another turmoil. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, there was a Liao prince who suggested that the heads of the various departments perform one by one to help the wine. They perform, but they sing, dance, "These are the things that all men and women on the grassland can do, but as the chieftain of the people, they have to respect their own identities before and after, and they have not shown these things for a long time.

Today is different, everyone knows that the little emperor is still young, fun and active, the head of the Hui tribe Abeli offered a fox, coaxed the emperor to be happy, and took back a treasure knife given by the queen mother, everyone is hot, at this time the performance program, naturally also pick the little emperor likes things. So, these heads juggled jokes, made a grimace, and took turns to perform programs, which made the little emperor very happy, and when they saw the little emperor happy, the bones in their bodies were lightened by three points, and they didn't care about any identity shelf.

When it was the turn of Anche Guzhu Lizhen, it was really difficult for him, to ask him to be flattering and amusing like these people, and he refused to kill him, and he came up stubbornly, Zhuli Zhen had long forgotten what kind of salary and courage, and asked him to practice himself like Gou Jian to seek any chance, he would rather die vigorously, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly cooled down. In the past, there was Bayari who didn't know the current affairs, and now there is another Zhuli who is really arrogant and untamed, and Xiao Xuan's face is not very good-looking.

When the prime minister of the North Courtyard saw it, he hurriedly said: "The wine is in full swing, everyone is performing some skills."

It's just a drink to accompany it. Zhu Li is really not good at singing and dancing, so what will he do? ”

Zhu Li Zhen restrained the knife on his waist and said: "We female straight people live a hard life, and every time we run around to fill our stomachs, how can we be interested in learning what songs and dances?" We will only dance with knives and sticks, shè arrows, hunt wild beasts, and beg for food and clothing. The emperor, the queen mother, my lords, if you are interested, then Zhu Li will really perform the knife technique. ”

Zhu Lizhen's dancing knife, he danced to cause trouble, he didn't know what systematic knife techniques, just years of fighting and fighting, fighting with people, fighting with beasts, and figuring out the simple, direct, and sharp killing kung fu, every time he swung a knife, he also had to shout like a thunderbolt with the knife momentum, and it was really powerful, the knife wind was whistling, and the thunderbolt sounded, and those rough big men flew and danced.

But the little emperor Yelu Longxu had never seen someone flying with such a steel knife beside him, and he made a loud sound, as if the knife man moved, puffed out his cheeks and eyes, and described it hideously, which scared the little emperor into tears.

This is nothing, although Xiao Sui is not happy, but he can't be punished for his crime because the emperor cried twice, but the next day the little emperor had a low-grade fever, diarrhea, and became ill, and the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated, saying that he was frightened.

Xiao Xuan is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, she has been in charge of power for several years, and she has cultivated a city government that is not happy and angry, but who is the score, what is the matter, she only has this one son, "The prison is her hope, every day is her sustenance, and it is related to her son's affairs, for this mother, she is no longer the eloquent, wise and steady Empress Dowager Xiao, but just an ordinary mother who protects calves."

Fortunately, Lord Ink Marks received a lot of benefits from the Anchebone tribe, and said a few good words for him in front of Empress Xiao. It is said that the emperor's first winter hunt is a happy thing, but if he makes a big move against the woman, it will damage the education of the subordinate departments, and besides, the emperor is sick, and it is not appropriate to rush the blood.

Xiao Xuan was angry, thinking that it was really inappropriate to kill people for this, so he just did it. However, the ink mark consciously made a great effort for the Anchegu tribe, how can there be a reason to do good deeds without leaving a name, so he ran to Zhu Lizhen, added oil and vinegar, and exaggerated to say that Xiao Houru was angry and angry, and Yi Yù sent troops to exterminate the Anchegu tribe, but fortunately, he Mo Daren had a lotus tongue and turned the tide, which eliminated the killing intent of the Queen Mother.

The person was originally invited to take credit, and the listener was shocked, and Zhu Li really fell in love with it. The little emperor will raise a few rì, the sick body can be cured, Xiao Xuan pity the emperor, dare not continue to brave the wind and snow to patrol the hunt, immediately set off to return to Beijing, the heads of the various departments have also said goodbye, embarked on the road back to the hometown. Zhu Li Zhen left the royal tent, and was about to leave with his own people, when suddenly he saw the unpleasant passage of Baya of the Murowei tribe, and his heart could not help moving, and he walked east with his own people for a while, and then turned to the north and chased Bayari.

There are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, ulcers, death, love and separation, resentment, unwantedness, and five yīn blazing meetings. If you have what you want, you will have bitterness, but if there is no bitterness, how can you kill the sweetness? At least the current excerpt is full of joy, and the hope in her heart is closer every day, and waiting is also a kind of happiness.

Yanzhou City can already be seen from afar, Ziyu has a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, she decided to rest in Yanzhou for half a day, not ......, one day, all day, take a good bath, change into new clothes, dress up refreshingly, and go to Xingzhou beautifully. Running around all the way, not eating or sleeping well, sleeping in the open air, and still watching m;? She didn't want Yang Hao to see that she was a little embarrassed.

Just thinking about it, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from the sleigh in front of him, and the snow slid to the side, "Advancing more than twenty zhang, slowly stopping on the snow, hearing the whistle, the Jurchen warrior on the sled where Zhe Ziyu was also hurriedly tightened the reins, and when the snow stopped, the fold rose and asked, "What happened?"

As soon as she asked, she closed her mouth, and saw that in the direction of Yanzhou City in front of her, thousands of knights came like a mad rush, and the snowflakes were splashed on the snowfield......
