The Huanglong Mansion will be the first place laid by the Jurchens, and they will establish their regime here, use it as their nest, and then rely on this white mountain and black water to send the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty into the memory of history.

But the current Huanglong Mansion is just a small dilapidated market town, and there are not even city walls. After Chen Yuan arrived here, he immediately suggested that Yelu Hongji take soil and build a wall.

His purpose has always been to ensure his own safety first, regardless of whether he can win against others or not. Is it useful to take soil and build a wall in a short period of time? I don't know, even if the earthen wall doesn't resist the enemy, but in the eyes of it, it can at least give Chen Yuan a little more security.

In that dilapidated mansion, as soon as the table was set up, Yelu Hongji immediately asked, "Where is the main force of the Jurchens?" ”

Liu Fang shook his head and pressed his palm on the area of Huanglong Mansion: "It's in front of us, we don't know the specific location." ”

Chen Yuan's brows furrowed: "That's a little troublesome." ”

Liu Fang said: "I mean, I will first bring 3,000 elite soldiers first, and the prince will be stationed in Huanglong Mansion with 7,000 men and horses, and once I find the trace of the Jurchens, I will immediately notify the prince to bring troops to encircle and suppress." ”

Yelu Hongji has no opinion, he has also imagined the whole battle, but Liao Xingzong's words have been said very clearly before the expedition, and those words make Yelu Hongji believe that he is a waste, and the idea of a waste will be useful?

Although Chen Yuan's encouragement gave him a little self-confidence, this self-confidence was not enough for him to oppose a general's opinion on such a major military matter.

Chen Yuan glanced at Liu Fang and was a little suspicious in his heart. Take 3,000 elite soldiers first? Pick out the best soldiers out of these 10,000 people! However, it is best for him to be willing to die on the battlefield by himself, and the province will bring trouble to the queen by himself.

He didn't say anything at the moment, but the Xiao guard asked, "What if we don't find those Jurchens around?" ”

Liu Fang's plan was obviously very well brewed in his mind: "If there is no movement of the Jurchens around, I will take 3,000 people all the way to Changbai Mountain, close to their lair, and force these Jurchens to fight a decisive battle with us, and the prince will lead the troops to keep a hundred miles away from me, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the only thing I am worried about is that there is no future for the prince to lead the army, and if there is an emergency, I am afraid that you will not be able to deal with it." ”

After Chen Yuan heard what he said, his eyes rolled and said: "The general's plan is wonderful, those Jurchens will definitely go back when they hear that their lair has been attacked." At that time, we don't have to do anything else, and when they fight with the general, we will outflank them from the side. I think these things can be done well by Xiao Huwei and the others. ”

Seeing that Chen Yuan understood his intentions, Liu Fang immediately smiled: "Brother Chen doesn't need to praise me, after all, we don't know about the movements of those Jurchens now. Everything is just my preliminary assumption, so let's go back and think about what is not thorough, and give the prince a more stable plan. ”

Yelu Hongji nodded: "Okay, we can't fight, there is General Lao Liu." ”

After Liu Fang left, Yelu Hongji asked Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, do you think we can win?" If General Liu's plan goes well, we can attack front and rear, so I think there is still hope. ”

Chen Yuan smiled, looked at the four guards, and then looked at Yelu Hongji: "Prince, please forgive me for being blunt, then General Liu is used to fighting with the Song Dynasty in the south, this method is useful for dealing with the Song army, but not for those Jurchens." ”

Yelu Hongji immediately asked, "What do you say?" ”

The four guards next to him also pricked up their ears and looked at Chen Yuan with their eyes, waiting for him to continue.

Chen Yuan said: "I can't fight, but I know what those Jurchens' homes in Changbai Mountain are like. I've heard that most of them live in caves and bushes, and in slightly better conditions, they can build a few huts. The prince thinks about it, what is there to come back to maintain such a home? ”

After hearing this, Xiao Huwei felt quite reasonable, and immediately received: "General Liu must regard Changbai Mountain as the city of the Song Dynasty." Just, why didn't you just remind him? ”

Chen Yuan has been in contact with them emotionally for the past few days, and he felt that it was time to tell the truth, so he looked at the eyes of the five people, especially the four guards, and said slowly: "Because, the emperor promised to let me be an official after I go back, so I want to go back alive." ”

Xiao Escort looked at his companions beside him, as if he understood something, and slowly leaned his head over: "There is still a family waiting for us in the four of our families, and I also want to go back alive, Brother Chen might as well speak bluntly." ”

Chen Yuan looked at Yelu Hongji and showed a friendly smile: "Prince, I have a letter from the princess here, please take a look." ”

Yelu Lingling made Chen Yuan's plan clear in the letter, and told Yelu Hongji unmistakably that this was the best way for him to live. It is also the best arrangement for these 10,000 Liao soldiers who have no ability to fight with the Jurchens anymore.

After reading the letter, Yelu Hongji's face was a little ugly. He had long known that he was just a bait, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would lose his qualification to be a bait.

The corners of Yelu Hongji's mouth twitched twice, his eyes looked at Chen Yuan and Xiao Guard, and he asked softly, "Am I really useless?" ”

Before Chen Yuan could say anything, the Xiao guard immediately said: "Prince, if you can live with these soldiers who can't be beaten outside, no matter what method you use, you are the supreme god in their hearts." On the contrary, if you let them die, even if you win, their relatives will curse you when you triumph. ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Well, what's more, you also know that it is impossible for you to win, prince." ”

Yelu Hongji nodded: "Okay, let's do it." It's just, what about General Liu Fang? I don't think he would agree with our plan. ”

Chen Yuan and Xiao Guard glanced at each other and found that there was a hint of deceit flashing in each other's eyes. The crime of bullying the king is carried by Yelu Hongji, but it is really unreasonable to let Yelu Hongji carry it alone.

Since Liu Fang wants to go, let him go, as long as these seven thousand people don't go out of the city, Liu Fang will lose. He came back alive, but he made a mistake in command. It's better if he dies, everything can be pushed on his head.

Liu Fang has been fighting in the south, and he is a Han Chinese, and he usually has to be a man with his tail between his legs in the Liao State, so he can't see through these tricks at all.

When Chen Yuan and the others had already shown their knives, he was still unaware. On the one hand, he was dispatching the three thousand soldiers who went out with him, and on the other hand, he was still thinking about how to complete Chen Yuan's plan that they had no intention of cooperating.

Two days later, Liu Fang's was finally going to leave here and go straight to Changbai Mountain, and Yelu Hongji was reluctant to come out to see him off, because Yelu Hongji always felt that he couldn't face Liu Fang's innocent eyes. So Chen Yuan replaced Yelu Hongji and saw off Liu Fang's 3,000 soldiers.

To be honest, Chen Yuan also felt that it was a bit immoral to deceive a person like Liu Fang, but this world is like this, officialdom is so immoral, you are too pure, you can only be a stepping stone for others.

When the 3,000 soldiers walked out of the newly piled earthen wall of the Huanglong Mansion, Chen Yuan knew that they might never come back.

There was a sense of guilt in his heart that suppressed Chen Yuan's heart, and he let out a long breath. Guard Xiao, who was standing next to him, was indeed full of spring breeze: "Brother Chen, what should we do next?" Could it be that you can't stay in this Huanglong Mansion? ”

Chen Yuan threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart, squeezed out a smile and said: "We will immediately ask for help from the rear, let the ninth prince and the princess lead the troops to suppress the bandits, our brothers stay here, there is no need to blow the wind if we have food and drink, what's wrong?" If Escort Xiao is bored, we might as well push both hands, how about it? ”

Xiao Huwei laughed: "That's good! I heard that Brother Chen's business is doing well, so you will sit in the village tonight, so that the brothers can also win some happy money. ”

Chen Yuan was also not polite: "Okay, let people put the table now, bet early and win early!" ”

On this occasion, Chen Yuan dared to gamble, because the gambling money of these soldiers was different from that of the casino, and most of them did not cheat, and it all depended on their luck.

So Chen Yuan pulled Yelu Hongji to sit in the village together, and set up two large tables in the dilapidated yamen, and everyone began to shout.

Most of the soldiers were good at gambling, and after two dice were thrown, the whole room was already full of people, and the tables were crowded, and those bets began to be varied, some of them were gold and silver, and some were copper coins.

From time to time, some people go out in frustration after losing everything, but more people squeeze in from the outside.

In less than a cup of tea, a small mountain had been piled up in front of Yelu Hongji, and blood was flooding Yelu Hongji's face, making him feel that his cheeks were a little hot, and even his voice began to be hoarse, but his interest was getting higher and higher.

Chen Yuan didn't forget the most important thing, and looked at a man who looked like an officer and asked, "Have you arranged the sentry?" ”

The officer nodded: "Don't worry, it's arranged, and you won't make a mistake." ”

Chen Yuan no longer worries about anything else, anyway, the letter asking for help has been sent, and he will stay in this safe place, waiting for Yelu Ni Gollum and Yelu Lingling to bring troops to suppress the bandits, and said with confidence: "Okay, continue to bet!" ”

The Huanglong Mansion was in full swing for a whole night, but Liu Fang outside couldn't even survive the first night.

In the evening, he noticed a small group of Jurchens in his field of vision, and immediately went to strangle them.

The dozens of women really scattered and fled into the woods at once, Liu Fang didn't think much about it, just wanted to catch one alive and come back and ask where the Jurchen brigade was.

So he sent hundreds of soldiers to scatter and chase into the dense forest, and ordered them to catch a live mouth.

After hundreds of soldiers entered the forest, the sound of fighting immediately sounded in the mountain forest on the right. Liu Fang didn't rush in, and after the fight subsided, several Liao soldiers covered in blood stood on the edge of the dense forest and shouted: "General! There are more than 30 people here, and some of their women and children are running inside! ”
