Although he has become a prisoner of the rank and has only been a nominal emperor for less than a day, the nominal emperor is also an emperor and the one-day emperor is also an emperor, and this existing status will not change. Therefore, after the pursuing Zhou soldiers collected Yeluxian's weapons, they did not make it too difficult for him, and also gave him a war horse to ride - Yeluxian's own war horse had already run out of strength, and even if he did not die after relieving himself, he could only be used as a pack horse. As for the other Khitan ministers and those pro-army guards, they were not treated so well, and the soldiers of the Zhou army not only tied them with ropes, but also deprived them of the qualification to ride horses, and they could only follow the Zhou army's horse buttocks.

Looking at those soldiers of the Zhou army smiling and arrogant, watching their ministers and pro-soldiers hanging their heads one by one, with blue noses and swollen faces, and then thinking that the nominal emperor not only did not enjoy even the slightest bit of the prestige, glory, and power that an emperor should have, but also since he was elected emperor by the ministers, for nearly a day, he has been in a state of fleeing and evading, and trembling and panicking. When the emperor is in his part, he can really be called a nest at home.

As soon as he thought of this, Yeluxian couldn't help but feel sad and resentful, hateful and angry. He was sad, sad that in order to leave a good impression on the former emperor and increase his chances of becoming the future heir to the throne, he had always acted cautiously and cautiously with others, walking on thin ice, for fear that he would be killed by a little errand, but in the end what he got was fear, rush, danger and humiliation; He complained, complaining that the reign of the first emperor Yelujing was mediocre, brutal and unkind, not only did not carry forward the Great Liao, but weakened the national strength, and the people complained. At the beginning of the battle of Youyun, the 300,000 army could not defeat the more than 30,000 rebel mobs of the "Qingyuan" brothers; He hated, hated the Han court and the "Qingyuan" brothers were insatiable, and he was not satisfied with the sixteen states of Youyun, the Northern Han Kingdom, and Jinzhou, Dading and other places, and he was unwilling to give up until he drove out the Great Liao; He was angry, angry that Yelu Sage did not know the practice and did not pay attention to the overall situation, and saw that the Great Liao was about to lose the country, but he was still fighting for power and profit there, and he grabbed the throne that he didn't know how many days he could sit, so that everyone had to spend half a day outside Shenzhou City to negotiate and negotiate, so that he lost the opportunity, lost the last possibility of getting rid of the tracking and escaping from the dangerous place, and was defeated by the Shili River and became a prisoner of the enemy's ranks.

While being sad, resentful, hateful, and angry, Ye Luxian was also extremely dissatisfied with the envoys of the Jiedu Prefecture of Guide and the officials and guards of Liaoyang Prefecture.

Jinjia Village is less than five miles away from Guide Prefecture, and in order to force himself to surrender, the Zhou army shot and threw bombs here, not only making a huge noise, but also driving away all the people in the village in order to prevent accidental injury. Even if the officials and guards in Guide City couldn't hear the gunshots, they would always get reports from the people in the village, and it was impossible not to know the situation here. It was only five miles from Jinjia Village to Guide City, no matter how slow the defenders in the city reacted, from the time the Zhou army surrounded their people in the land temple to the time they had no choice but to surrender for an hour and a half, they just climbed and climbed there. You must know that the Zhou army that captured itself only had more than 100 people, of which the so-called "Flying Dragon Army" was probably only 30 or 40 people, and the defenders in Guide City had 2,000 or 3,000 people. Even if the envoy of Guide Jie Du only sent half of the men and horses to save it, no matter how sharp the firearms of the "Flying Dragon Army" were, it would be impossible to block the impact of 1,500 soldiers and horses. But until now, the defenders of Guide City have not even seen a figure, and the conscience of the Guide Festival envoy has been eaten by dogs.

Although Liaoyang City was a little farther away, Yelu Heli's Tanma had already made contact with the imperial soldiers and horses six days earlier, and brought back the holy decree of leading the army to support and respond to the imperial court's soldiers and horses. Even if you count the time required for Tanma to return to Liaoyang City and Liaoyang City to mobilize men and horses, it is not possible to meet with the imperial court soldiers and horses before the Battle of Yinzhou, at least the two sides can meet outside Shenzhou City. But the fact is that until the first emperor was killed, the imperial court soldiers and horses entered the Shili River, which was less than 100 miles away from Liaoyang City, and fought hard with the Zhou army for half a day, but still did not see any trace of Liaoyang City reinforcements. If it is forgivable that the Guide Jiedu envoy, who only has only two or three thousand men and horses in his hands and a small city with a radius of only a few miles, does not dare to send troops to meet him in order to protect himself, then Yelu Heli and Han Deshu, who have 30,000 troops and guard Liaoyang City, one of the few fortified cities in the Great Liao, are still afraid of the enemy like a tiger after receiving the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, and Yelu Heli and Han Deshu, who are cowering in the city and do not dare to send troops to help, are unforgivable. If before this, Yeluxian only had doubts about the possibility of Yelu Heli supporting the army and wanting to stand on his own, then now he has already decided in his heart that Yelu Heli does have a heart of disobedience, and this time he did not obey the order and refused to send troops to support, undoubtedly wanting to kill himself and the ministers of the court by the hands of the Zhou army, and create an opportunity for him to seek to usurp the throne. As for whether Tanma brought the holy decree back to Liaoyang City, the 40,000 troops of the Zhou army's right route army had already traced the Liao River and attacked Liaoyang City, and the 30,000 horses in Yelu Heli were simply not enough to fight against it, and there was no extra force to go north to respond, and even if Liaoyang City reluctantly sent reinforcements, it might be blocked by the Zhou army's right route army, and so on, but the possible situation was not at all within the consideration of Yelu Xian, who had already determined that Yelu Heli was a chaotic minister and thief.

In a sense, Yeluxian can lament that his life is not at the right time, he can complain that the first emperor Yelujing is not worthy of being the emperor, he can hate the Later Zhou court and the "Qingyuan" brothers for killing their country, he can be angry that Yelu Sage started internal strife for the throne when he should not be divided, and he can even be dissatisfied with the fact that the Guide Jiedu envoy died for self-preservation, but there is no reason to blame Yelu Heli, Han Deshu and other Tokyo Provincial officials in Liaoyang City. Because Yelu Heli not only did not have the slightest intention of supporting the army and wanting to stand on his own, but as soon as he received the holy decree from the Son of Heaven asking him to send troops to support and respond, he immediately summoned all the high-ranking officials of Tokyo Province in Liaoyang City to his mansion to discuss the matter of sending troops to the north.

In other words, Yelu Heli is not only not a great traitor with ill intentions and conspirators to usurp rebellion, but a loyal minister who is loyal to Daliao and wants to save King Qin and help Sheji. Of course, Yelu Heli has such a table based on the news about the Son of Heaven (Yelu Jing) and the imperial court soldiers and horses brought by the scouts and envoys of the court who came with the holy decree of the Son of Heaven (Yelu Jing), and believes that the structure of the court still exists, and the Son of Heaven (Yelu Jing) still has more than 20,000 of the most elite leather room palace tent troops in the hands of the Son of Heaven (Yelu Jing). If Yelu Heli had learned that the Son of Heaven (Yelu Jing) had died, that he had no title as a prince before, and that he had not even held a decent enthronement ceremony, and had been forced to appoint an indecent imperial uncle, and that the new monarch (Yelu Xian), who had a very unstable foundation, and the so-called imperial court, had only less than 8,000 remnants of the defeated army who had been chased by the Zhou army like dogs and rabbits, it is unknown whether he would have such loyalty.

In a sense, it was the all-out pursuit of the Zhou army, and the unsparing efforts of the large number of scouts and scouts sent by them, that prevented the Yelu and Li Wenwu officials in Liaoyang from receiving the latest news of the remnants of the Khitan army in time, so that they continued to maintain their loyalty to the Khitan court. However, loyalty is loyalty, and there are many difficulties to overcome in order to turn one's plan into practical action, and the first of which is the problem of troops.

Since there is no doubt about sending troops to support and respond to the Son of Heaven and his ministers, sending troops immediately is also a necessary thing. But the problem is that the 10,000 soldiers and horses led by the "traitor" Han Shouzhong (Han Tiexin) to reinforce Heye City were all Han army villagers, and after the "fall" of Heye, tens of thousands of villagers were urgently recruited from around Liaoyang City to help defend the city, but the problem of insufficient troops still plagued Yelu Heli, Han Deshu and others. On the one hand, there were more than 40,000 Zhou troops along the Liao River, and it was a problem to defend Liaoyang City with only these more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, let alone allocate a part to support and respond to the Son of Heaven. What's more, it is said that there are more than 30,000 troops, among which the real elite, that is, 5,000 Khitan generals and more than 10,000 tribal troops from the Bohai, Jurchen and other tribes, as for the majority of the Han army villagers, let them build bridges and pave roads, set up camps and build bases, and transport grain and straw. On the other hand, Han Shouzhong's presence in Heye Castle also made the military and political governors in Liaoyang City, especially the Yelu Heli who stayed in Tokyo, doubt the loyalty of the Han army townsmen and Han generals, and it was difficult to trust them as much as they did before the war—even since the Northern Expedition of the Zhou army, there were no fewer Khitan officials who surrendered in Kaesong than their Han colleagues. In fact, if it weren't for the three generations of the Han family to serve the Great Liao, Han Deshu and the Zhou army had a resolute attitude of fighting to the death before, and now they fully agree with sending troops to support and receiving the Son of Heaven. Therefore, the detachment of the faction went north to support and receive the Son of Heaven, and how many troops should be sent became the focus of discussion between Yelu Heli, Han Deshu and other senior civil and military personnel of Tokyo Province.

In the end, after repeated discussions, careful weighing, and full consideration of the focus of the northward mission was to support and respond rather than directly engage in face-to-face combat with the Zhou army's pursuers, a group of Tokyo Dao Wenwu decided to form a mixed force composed of 2,000 Khitan elite cavalry, 2,000 Bohai and Jurchen warriors, and 4,000 Han army villagers, responsible for the task of going north to support and respond to the Son of Heaven. Among them, the two thousand Khitan elite cavalry are not only the core and main assault force of this force, but also shoulder the secret mission of secretly monitoring the other two parts of the horses, especially the Han army villagers; The two thousand Bohai and Jurchen warriors not only provided strong combat support for the Khitan elite cavalry, but also served as a supervising team to prevent the Han army and Hanxiang from being confused, cowering, and dispersing when fighting against the Zhou army; The 4,000 Han army townsmen were mainly responsible for the transportation and protection of materials urgently needed by the Son of Heaven and his subordinates, hundreds of military officials, and tens of thousands of soldiers, and played their due role in positional warfare.

Of course, the plan is a plan, and the focus of the officials of Tokyo Province, including Yelu Heli, Han Deshu and other leaders, in sending troops to the north is actually on support and response, and they subconsciously do not think that the Son of Heaven and the imperial court need the mixed army of 8,000 people in Tokyo Province to compete with the pursuing troops of the Zhou army.
