Although he also woke up briefly a few times during this period, it was seven days later when Yan Shiyong really came to his senses. And the first thing after waking up, Yan Shiyong did not ask where he was now, nor did he ask about his injuries, but asked the nurse in charge of taking care of him about the results of the battle in Yanjin City, Yinzhou, and wanted to know whether Yelujing and other important officials of the Khitan court had been caught-In order to drag down the Khitan army, Yan Shiyong's troops paid huge sacrifices, and naturally hoped to be rewarded accordingly.

It's just that Yan Shiyong asked very eagerly, but the little nurse who was in charge of taking care of him was obviously more concerned about his physical condition. Seeing that he woke up, he hurriedly stopped him from continuing to speak, told him to keep quiet so as not to affect the wound, and then walked out of the ward quickly to call Yan Shiyong's attending doctor. Although she was anxious, the little nurse was also her job, and the other party was a young girl, Yan Shiyong couldn't use the same way as the rough-skinned and thick-skinned big-headed soldiers under her command, and ordered her to answer herself with evil words. Therefore, I can only control my impatience and wait patiently for the doctor to come and ask later.

Of course, Yan Shiyong's idea was shattered after his attending doctor came. First, the other party had the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder, which was three levels higher than his own rank of colonel. Even if the other party belongs to the technical rank, but the military rank is the military rank, he can disobey any arrangements of the other party on the battlefield, but in the hospital he can only be at the mercy of the other party, where dare to let the other party stop the physical examination to answer his own questions; Second, the other party is an acquaintance who is higher than his own generation, even if the other party only has the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder, he can only honestly listen to his command, and dare not make the slightest mistake.

After carefully examining Yan Shiyong up and down, inside and out, it was confirmed that he was fine except for a slight weakness due to excessive blood loss. Xue Yongren, deputy of the Tai Yi Department and director of the Great Zhou Military Doctor, who rushed from the Left Route Army to the Middle Route Army with a full set of "field medical systems" three days ago to continue the test, nodded and said: "Well, the recovery is good, cooperate well with the treatment, and it is estimated that you will be able to go into battle again to kill the enemy in a month." ”

As soon as he heard that he would have to raise another month before returning to the team, Yan Shiyong was anxious at that time. He didn't bother to ask about the battle situation in Yanjin City in Yinzhou again, and hurriedly grabbed Xue Yongren, who turned around and wanted to leave, hoping that the other party could let him be discharged from the hospital and return to the team as soon as possible. Moreover, in order to prove that he was already well, he even lifted the quilt on his body and was about to get up and get out of bed to show his "strong" physique to the other party, but he was scolded back by Xue Yonghui. Before leaving, seeing that Yan Shiyong was still a little unconvinced, he instructed the little nurse in charge of taking care of him to "take good care" of him, and if he violated the regulations of the wounded, he would be hospitalized for a month. On the one hand, it seemed to be a reminder, but in fact, it added a sentence with a "threatening" meaning: "The main force of the Middle Route Army led by your uncle has arrived in Xianzhou, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Yanjin City the day after tomorrow." When the time comes, you can ask him to return to the team early. As long as he approves it, the old man will never stop him. ”

I heard that my uncle would arrive the day after tomorrow, and Yan Shiyong wilted at that time. applied to Zeng Zhilin to return to the team early, and he didn't dare to borrow his guts. Not to mention that my uncle is very strict with his children and nephews, and he has never favoritized or interceded for them. Just from the fact that his uncle is the founding uncle and the general of the right Jin Wuwei, and every time he sees this Xue Yongren and Uncle Xue, he has to call him "Doctor Xue" or "Brother Xue", and he has absolutely no possibility of cutting the other party's face in order to let his nephew return to the team early. Therefore, in the face of Uncle Xue's "threat", Yan Shiyong could only obediently obey orders and honestly lie in bed to recuperate, without daring to think about anything else.

However, as the hope of returning the team early was completely dashed, the desire to learn about the battle of Yeonjin Castle became even stronger. Of course, this kind of non-"professional" problem naturally cannot, or rather dare not ask Xue Yongren, who walked outside the ward with his hands behind his back and with a majestic face, but had to "ask for advice" from the little nurse who stayed behind to take care of him.

Fortunately, although the little nurse is a young girl, she has a lively and cheerful outgoing personality. At the beginning, it may have been a little restrained to communicate with Yan Shiyong, the colonel head who was many levels higher than her, but as the conversation time between the two sides increased, especially Yan Shiyong's witty and humorous sentences from time to time to make her laugh, the little girl completely let go. not only answered Yan Shiyong's questions, but also took the initiative to provide many information that the former did not ask.

Through the introduction and explanation of the little nurse, Yan Shiyong finally figured out the ins and outs of the battle of Yanjin City and the subsequent series of events after he was injured and unconscious, and involuntarily repeated what Uncle Cheng Feicheng, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army and the chief general of the southbound search and pursuit force, said after the matter finally calmed down, "It seems that Yelujing still failed to escape the fate of history after all", and he was puzzled as to why the former said such a sentence and the meaning contained in it. In fact, Yan Shiyong is not the only one who is puzzled. In this era, except for those travelers in the crossing team who have carefully listened to Zhang Weixin's previous "history lectures", everyone else will have the same doubts and incomprehensions when they hear this sentence. Of course, it is incomprehensible, but it does not prevent everyone from relish the ups and downs and wonderful drama that has been staged in the southwestern part of Tokyo Province in the past few days.

The first turning point and climax of this drama appeared in the afternoon of the 28th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in the seventh year of Jianlong (the twentieth year of the corresponding calendar) under the city of Yanjin in Yinzhou. Due to the interference and entanglement of Yelu Xianshi's subordinates, who launched a decisive assault from the east and west, Cheng Fei's subordinates, who had successfully blocked Yelu Jing's ministers and the 10,000 Khitan troops in the city, had to devote most of their attention and forces to deal with the attack and harassment of Yelu Xianshi's subordinates, so that they inadvertently relaxed the attack and surveillance of the Khitan army in the city. As a result, Yelu Jingjun, who had been prepared for a long time, took advantage of this opportunity to lead nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to flee from the east gate of Yanjin City, causing Cheng Fei's subordinates to see the boiled duck fly away from him. In addition, in order to confuse the Zhou army, Yelu Jing and others led the main force to flee from the east gate, and at the same time, they also divided a small number of troops to drive the original defenders and ordinary people in the city from the west gate and the north gate, which increased the difficulty for the Zhou army to judge the direction of its escape. Therefore, when the scout scouts who had gone out a few ways ago to inquire about the situation sent back the exact news, confirming that Yelujing and the others had fled eastward, it was already an hour and a half after they rushed out of Yanjin City in Yinzhou.

In an hour and a half, enough cavalry to gallop at full speed for forty or fifty miles, and it was already the end of the evening and the beginning of the unitary hour, and it was even more difficult to catch up with the Khitans before dark. However, difficulties are difficulties, but pursuit is necessary. With the assistance of the 16th Cavalry Regiment of the "Security Army", which had come to support the Khitan archers who had broken up the blockade, Cheng Fei immediately reorganized the various divisions under his command after completely defeating the Yelu Xianshi Division of the Cavalry Regiment of the Fourth Synthetic Infantry Division of the "Flying Dragon Army" under the city. The pursuit cluster was formed by two cavalry battalions of the "Flying Dragon Army" and three cavalry battalions of the "Security Army", led by Yang Kefu, deputy commander of the Fourth Composite Infantry Division of the "Flying Dragon Army" and head of the division's cavalry regiment, and followed the pursuit all the way along the traces left by the Khitans. The rest of the soldiers and horses, including the rest of Yan Shiyong's command, formed a search and pacification group to collect and pacify the defenders and civilians of Yanjin City in Yinzhou who had been driven out of the city by the leather room palace tent army, and let them return to the city to resume normal life.
