Chapter 712: The Death of Yelu Renxian
Yelu Renxian felt like he had a very long dream, in which he was defeated like a mountain, and the soldiers who followed him died in front of him one after another, surrounded by the Song army with hideous faces, one by one holding knives and guns to kill himself, fortunately he got the desperate protection of his younger brother Yelu Zhixian, and finally broke out of the encirclement, but Yelu Zhixian was cut into pulp by the Song army.
However, when Yeluren finally escaped back to Liao, he didn't expect to be arrested immediately by Yelujun, because there were less than 100 people left in his 100,000 army, and a large area of territory in the south was also robbed by the Song State......
"Ah~" At the moment when Yelujun inserted the knife into Yeluren's chest, he finally screamed in pain, and then woke up from the coma, and when he opened his eyes, he still saw his handsome tent, and there were still people shouting and neighing outside, although it was very noisy, but Yeluren first heard this sound and felt a sense of relief.
"Third brother, you ...... You're finally awake! But at this moment, a figure covered in blood rushed to Yelu Renxian's bed and said excitedly, although his face was full of smiles, but because he had a few inches long cut on his cheek, his smile was also extremely hideous.
"Four...... Fourth brother? You...... What's wrong with you? Looking at the embarrassed person in front of him, Yelu Renxian took a long time to recognize that the other party was his younger brother Yelu Zhixian, just looking at the other party's appearance, as if he had just come down from the battlefield, could it be that there was a war outside?
"Third brother, why did you forget, we encountered an ambush by the Song army in Bei'an City before, and Yang Huaiyu in the rear also took the opportunity to chase after us. It just so happened that the army on all sides besieged us, and in the past few days we have led our brothers to flee to a hill, and have been attacked by the Song army countless times every day, and now the whole army is suffering heavy losses, and our food supply has also been cut off, and the brothers have not eaten a full meal for several days! Yelu Zhixian said with tears in the corners of his eyes at this time. Although the situation in the army is very bad, he has a kind of blind confidence in the third brother in front of him, thinking that as long as he can come to his senses, he will definitely be able to lead the army out of the current predicament.
Hearing Yelu Zhixian's words, Yelu Renxian only felt a "buzz" in his brain, and finally remembered what happened before he fell unconscious, and then heard the predicament that the army was facing now, which made Yelu Renxian also feel like a catastrophe was coming for a while, and he sat there for a long time without speaking.
Seeing Yeluren sitting there without saying a word. This made Yelu Zhixian also startled, for fear that he would pass out again, so he couldn't help but grab his shoulder and said: "Third brother, the situation outside is already very urgent, it is estimated that I don't want to come up with any good solutions, I am afraid that the defense line temporarily built by the army will be broken by the Song army, and then we can only let the Song army slaughter, so you must come up with a good way!" ”
Yeluren was awakened by Yeluzhixian's words. It's just that at this time, he sighed lightly and said, "Fourth brother, my brain is very messy now. Why don't you go out and give me some quiet first, so I can come up with a good solution!" ”
Hearing the third brother say this, Yelu Zhixian also knew that he was a little too anxious, after all, Yelu Renxian had been in a coma for several days before, and he had just woken up, and he looked at his pale face now. I'm afraid that his condition is still very serious, and he also knows that his third brother doesn't like to be disturbed when thinking about problems, so he didn't suspect it, and immediately agreed and withdrew.
As soon as Yelu Zhixian left the camp, he immediately asked people to gather the main generals such as Xiao Hu Liduan. Then the news that Yelu Renxian had woken up was reported, and as a result, the morale of the Liao army, which was already low, was greatly shaken, and several attacks of the Song army were repelled one after another, which is enough to show Yelu Renxian's status in the hearts of the soldiers.
After Yeluren drove the fourth brother out of the camp first, he also showed a contemplative expression while sitting on the bed, but he did not think about how to escape, but considered the dream he had when he was unconscious, in fact, it was not so much a dream as his deduction of his next fate when he was unconscious.
For him now, he is facing the wolf-like Song army on the outside, but he is facing Yelujun inside, a king who is eager to get rid of him, coupled with the failure of his previous operation to rescue Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and now he has lost a huge number of troops, which has given Yelujun enough reasons, so whether he can fight out of the encirclement this time, it will be difficult for him to escape death, the difference is just that he died in the hands of the Song army or in the hands of Yelujun.
Thinking of the above, Yelu Renxian couldn't help but feel a sense of discouragement, if he was just forced to this point by the Song army, he might not feel hopeless, because he knew that Da Liao would definitely not sit back and watch the 100,000 army in his hands be annihilated, as long as he held on for a few days, he would definitely be able to wait for reinforcements from the rear, but in this situation, I am afraid that even if Yelu Jun issued a holy decree to rescue other armies, I am afraid that the generals of those armies would not take it to heart, at least in a short time, he could not wait for the reinforcements of Da Liao, And without the cooperation of reinforcements, he had no certainty of breaking out of the encirclement.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you think that the old minister is an eyesore, just let the old minister tell the old man to return to his hometown, if he gives me a three-foot white silk to hang himself, why bother to let these 100,000 troops also be buried with me, don't you know that if my Da Liao loses this 100,000 army, I will never be able to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in the future, which is equivalent to giving up the sixteen states to the Song people!" Yelu Renxian muttered to himself at this time, and when he said the end, his face also showed a sad expression.
Thinking of what Yelujun has done in recent years, Yeluren suddenly felt that there were many things he wanted to say to him, but unfortunately the other party was not in front of him at all, so Yeluren first stood up on the bed with his body propped up, and then came to his desk to grind the pen, and wrote down all the things that he didn't dare to say in the face of Yelujun before, and finally wrote more than a dozen sheets before he finished writing.
However, after writing a letter to Yelu Jun, Yelu Renxian was suddenly stunned and motionless, and it took a long time before he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally understood what he wanted to do.
Yelu Zhixian and the others waited outside for a long time, and everyone hoped that Yelu Renxian could come up with a good way to get them out of the encirclement of the Song army, and even Xiao Huliduan, who was a little wary of Yelu Renxian, also put aside his prejudices at this time, hoping that Yelu Renxian, the mainstay of the Liao army, could turn the tide, even if he couldn't defeat the defenders, at least lead them out of the encirclement, after all, he didn't want to be a prisoner of the Song army.
However, they waited from the afternoon to the evening, during which many anxious generals wanted to break into the tent, but they were all stopped by Yelu Zhixian, for fear that they would disturb the third brother's thinking, but when it was night, Xiao Wei Liduan also lost his patience and must go in to see Yelu Renxian, and Yelu Zhixian at this time also had a bad premonition at this time, so after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and agreed.
At the moment, under the leadership of Yelu Zhixian and Xiao Liduan, several important generals in the Liao army opened the door of the camp tent and walked in, but as soon as they came in, they smelled a familiar smell of blood, which made everyone secretly scream, and copied a few steps to the back tent, but found that Yeluren was sitting upright on the chair, but there was a wound full of blood on his neck, and the blood that flowed out almost stained his chest red, and even a lot of blood flowed to the ground in front of the table, making the ground a dark red color, It looks extraordinarily hideous.
"Third brother!" Seeing that Yelu Zhixian had killed himself, Yelu Zhixian immediately screamed in grief, and rushed forward to hug Yelu Zhixian's body, but found that his body was not completely stiff, and it seemed that he had not been dead for a long time, which also made Yelu Zhixian grieve and regret, maybe he didn't prevent the other generals from entering just now, maybe his third brother would not have a chance to commit suicide.
"Dead? How could he die? Who will lead us out of the encirclement when you die? At this time, when Xiao Liduan saw Yeluren kill himself, he also said to himself in disbelief, Yeluren is already their last hope, and now that the other party is dead, what should they do?
The other generals saw this, one by one also showed sad expressions, they were all subordinates who followed Yelu Renxian for many years, under the leadership of Yelu Renxian, they put down the rebellion of Yelu Chongyuan, and also quelled the rebellion of the Jurchen, Xi and other ethnic minorities, in their hearts, Yelu Renxian is simply an invincible military god, but they did not expect that this undefeated military god committed suicide after being besieged by the Song army, which made them unacceptable for a while.
After Yelu Zhixian hugged Yelu Renxian's corpse and cried for a while, he suddenly found that his third brother was holding a stack of things in his left hand, which seemed to be very important, otherwise he would not let go until he died, so Yelu Zhixian stopped crying and reached out to take off the things in the corpse's hand, and found that this was a letter and a piece of paper, in which the letter was Yelu Renxian's masterpiece, and it was also specified that Yelu Jun should open it personally, so Yelu Zhixian did not touch the letter, but was very careful and close.
Next, Yelu Zhixian opened the piece of paper and looked at it, only to see a very simple sentence written on this piece of paper: "Pass my military order: the whole army surrenders to the Song army!" (To be continued......)
PS: It's half past eight when I came back today, and the old fish used an hour and a half to code 3,000 words, which simply created my code word record, but it was still late to update, and the old fish finally apologized to everyone, and tried to update it on time in the future.
