After a day of intense marching, Yeluren first chose to camp on a high ground, and personally arranged for the soldiers to be responsible for the night patrol, although they had passed through the most dangerous area of the Gubeikou, but Yeluren Xian still had a feeling of unease, so whether it was marching or resting, he personally arranged patrols to prevent being attacked by the Song army.

After Yeluren arranged the night patrol first, he sat down with a tired face, speaking of which he is almost sixty years old this year, and his body has long been much worse than before, especially during the period of retreat, not only does he need to rush nervously every day, but also has to bear huge psychological pressure, which also makes him feel extremely tired, and what's worse is that he doesn't know what's wrong during this time, he is obviously tired every night, but he often has insomnia, and often wakes up after only sleeping for an hour or two, Then he kept his eyes open until dawn, which made him feel even less energetic during the day.

At that moment, Yeluren sat on the chair and closed his eyes, intending to take a rest, but at this moment, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and then he saw that the tent door was opened, and his younger brother Yeluzhi walked in with the food and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't be in a hurry to sleep first, I asked the cook to cook some good dishes today, you can sleep well after eating, you will definitely wake up tomorrow and be refreshed, calculate the distance, we will be able to reach Bei'an Zhou tomorrow, now you should rest assured!" ”

Yelu Zhixian said and put the food in his hand on the table in front of Yelu Renxian, but when Yelu Renxian saw these meals, he said in surprise: "Fourth brother, haven't our cattle and sheep already been eaten, where did you get the meat here?" ”

Among the original meals brought by Yeluren Xianzhi, several of them were all meat dishes, and the portions were quite large, but Yeluren Xian knew it. Their supplies had been cut off as early as the time of the retreat, and during this time they had all relied on the grain stored in the barracks, and the beef and mutton had already been eaten, and they had only been able to drink noodle soup for the past few days, and occasionally eat a few steamed buns, but today's meal was too rich.

"Haha. Third brother, you can eat it with confidence, these are horse meat, the black whirlwind I rode is a little old, and the speed of running is not as fast as other horses, so I have long wanted to change it, it just happened to be greedy these days, so I killed the horse, anyway, I will go to Bei'an Zhou tomorrow, and then I will find a good horse! Yelu Zhixian didn't seem to care.

"This ...... It's your horse! Yeluren was stunned when he heard this. Immediately afterwards, I was also moved in my heart, the horse that Yelu Zhixian rode was named Black Whirlwind, it was a good horse for a thousand miles, Yelu Renxian was also very envious at the beginning, although the Black Whirlwind was a little older in recent years, but it was still a rare good horse, plus the Black Whirlwind accompanied Yelu Zhixian for many years, and the feelings were also very deep. But he didn't expect him to kill the horse, and it is estimated that he saw that he was in bad spirits these days. That's why I want to make something delicious for myself.

"Hehe, isn't it just a horse, find another one when you have a chance in the future, third brother, your spirit is not good these days, eat more meat to make up for it!" Yelu Zhixian urged again, and he sat down with him. I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite first, and then shouted that it was delicious, and beckoned Yeluren to eat it while it was hot.

Seeing that this was also a piece of his brother's heart, Yelu Renxian did not refuse, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and ate a lot. The taste of horse meat is actually not good, the meat is very coarse and difficult to chew, but Yelu Renxian still eats it very fragrantly, not only eats all the dishes on the inner plate, but also eats a bowl of gruel.

"Third brother, I know you haven't slept well these days, do you want me to ask the doctor in the barracks to prescribe soothing medicine for you, so that you can sleep more peacefully at night?" After eating, Yeluzhi first asked people to put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then asked again.

Hearing his brother's words, Yeluren thought for a moment but shook his head and said: "No need, although we have passed the Gubei Pass, I still don't feel at ease, if something happens at night, I must also be able to wake up immediately, so there is no need for calming medicine, so as not to delay the big event!" ”

"Third brother, you are too careful, we can go to Bei'an Prefecture tomorrow, the vicinity is still in the hands of our Da Liao, there is no Song army at all, and there is no danger at all, so you can rest assured!" Yelu Zhixian spoke again to persuade him, he always felt that his third brother's spirit was not right in the past few days, so he wanted him to rest more.

"Forget it, since we have been walking carefully for so many days, it is not bad for this night, and it is not too late to rest in Bei'an Prefecture tomorrow!" Yelu Renxian is very stubborn, he will never relax his vigilance until he is sure that he is 100% safe, which is the main reason why he has been able to win all kinds of battles over the years.

Seeing that his brother was so stubborn, Yelu Zhixian was also a little helpless, so he had to tell him to rest early again, and then leave. After Yeluren sent his younger brother away first, he then dealt with some military affairs, and saw that the sky was slowly darkening, and his body was very tired, so he came to the back tent to rest.

Perhaps it was because of a relatively sumptuous dinner that Yelu Renxian fell asleep quickly, but just after the third watch, he woke up from his sleep again, and coughed violently, and it took a long time to straighten his waist, but at this time, Yelu Renxian felt weak all over his body, and his brain was also a little drowsy, probably because of the wind cold.

Yeluren coughed for a long time, his throat was dry and itchy, and he sat up with his body on his feet, and then picked up the kettle from the stove and poured himself a cup of hot water to drink, thinking that it would be better, but he didn't expect another violent cough, and finally he only felt that his throat and eyes were salty, and he coughed up a trace of blood.

"General, are you not feeling well, do you want me to send a doctor to take a look?" At this time, the head of the guards outside probably heard Yelu Renxian's cough, and asked outside.

"No need, I'm just feeling the wind chill occasionally, just drink some hot water and sweat!" Yeluren first frowned and ordered, then he suddenly thought of something, and then spoke again, "In addition, don't spread the news of my illness, so as not to shake the heart of the army!" ”

"Yes!" The head of the guards outside the tent agreed, and then retreated and ordered the other guards not to spread the word, after all, Yeluren was the commander of the army first, and if there was a problem with his body, even if it was a small illness, it might have a bad impact on the soldiers in the army, especially at this critical moment.

The guards outside are all Yelu Renxian's cronies, so he is not worried that he will spread the news of his illness, but seeing a few strands of blood that he coughed up, Yelu Renxian's face can't help but flash a little haze, during this time he always feels that his body is not quite right, he thought it was old, but now it seems that it is not so simple, in case his body really has a problem at this time, it may bring disastrous consequences to the army.

"No! No matter what, I will hold out until the Song army retreats! Yelu Renxian suddenly whispered with a firm expression at this time, whether it is for the sake of the 100,000 army under his command or the national fortune of Daliao, he must persevere, and he must not even show a trace of illness in front of people, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

It was another long night of sleepless sleep, but Yelu Renxian had already gotten used to it, and the next day he still appeared in the barracks in good spirits, and then commanded the soldiers to advance to Bei'anju. After nearly a day of trekking, Bei'an City finally appeared in their sight, which also made Yelu Renxian feel relieved, as long as he arrived in Bei'an City, he could also take a good rest.

"Report~" But at this moment, suddenly there was a shout from the rear, and then I saw a flying horse rushing from the rear, flying in front of Yelu Renxian and dismounting, "General Qiyu, the traces of the Song army were found thirty miles away, and it is suspected that the Song army from Gubeikou is following!" ”

"What, the Song army in Gubeikou is actually following behind us?" Ye Luren first heard the news and immediately felt very wrong, because when he passed through Gubeikou before, Yang Huaiyu not only did not attack him, but also showed that he could not defend it, but now that he was so far away from Gubeikou, he actually sent troops to follow, which is absolutely abnormal.

"Third brother, although the number of Yang Huaiyu's army is not as good as ours, but under our long journey, the officers and soldiers in the army are very tired, it is really not suitable to fight with them, fortunately, Bei'an City is in front of us, let's hurry up and enter the city, as long as we enter the city, the Song army will definitely not dare to chase after us!" At this time, Yelu Zhixian also said a little anxiously.

"King Song, what are you still hesitating about, the Song army in the rear is here in a blink of an eye, let's hurry up and enter the city!" At this time, the concubine Xiao Huliduan also visited and urged, he was born in the Xiao family, and then became a concubine, and he had never suffered anything, but this time he came to Yelu Renxian's army but he had suffered enough, not only had to travel day and night, but also couldn't even eat, so he was now anxious to go into the city to rest, at least have a full meal.

"No, Song Jun appeared behind us at this time, there is definitely a problem!" Yelu Renxian opened his mouth with an anxious face at this time, and at the same time, an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

"Report~, the Song army in the rear is speeding up and chasing after it, and it is estimated that it will contact the rear army in an hour at the latest!" At this time, another scout came quickly and reported loudly, which also made Yelu Zhixian and Xiao Huliduan even more uneasy, and they persuaded Yelu Ren to speed up and enter the city again.

Seeing that Yelu Zhixian and the others were in a hurry to enter the city, and Bei'an City was in front of him, Yelu Ren thought about it for a long time and found that there was no other way, and finally had to agree to speed up the city, but when they could just see the city wall of Bei'an City, Yelu Ren first shouted "not good", followed by a mouthful of blood spurting out, and people fell down from their horses......
