When the Turkic 50,000 iron cavalry was still a day away from arriving at the Songmo Governor's Mansion, Ma Qiao led dozens of soldiers to Youzhou.

Lou Shide, who was stationed here, received the news from Ma Qiao, and immediately sent a letter to Wu Youyi, who still controlled nearly half of the soldiers and horses and refused to hand over the military power, and was cowering in the city of Danzhou, as well as Sha Zha Zhongyi, who was fighting on the southern front, and Li Duozuo on the eastern front.

As soon as the armies on this side were mobilized and stopped, Fei Mo ran all the way to Sun Wanrong's station in Qinglong Bay.

As soon as Sun Wanrong heard that Xincheng had been attacked, his parents and family had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and his sister-in-law Yi Yiyu's whereabouts were unknown.

He was old, he was running around all day, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, and when he was excited by the news, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. By the time he woke up, the tide had passed, and the news had spread throughout the army during his fainting.

The Khitan warriors who fought with Fei Mo did not understand how much of an impact this had on the morale of the army, and they told their people what had happened quickly and directly, just as they had fought with other tribes for water and pasture.

They even added fuel to the fire, saying that the situation of the tribesmen was more miserable, and the Turks were more cruel, and their purpose was actually very simple: to arouse the hatred of the tribesmen, kill them back to Yingzhou together, and save their relatives.

However, they are not nomadic shepherds now, they are an army on an expedition, and they are not surrounded by herds of cattle and sheep that can be taken care of by leaving two people, but the Great Zhou army surrounded by tigers and wolves, and this news ruined them.

As Yang Fan said: "We can afford to lose, you only need to lose." There is no room for redemption! ”

This so-called army does not have strict discipline and does not have the military qualities cultivated by a long military career, and when they fight a good battle, they are like wolves and tigers, and they are all vying to be the first, and when they encounter a major setback, they immediately become a plate of scattered sand, and a group of rabble, even if every individual is very brave, cannot give full play to the combat effectiveness that an army should have.

When Sun Wanrong woke up and learned that the whole army had heard the bad news, he knew that the general trend had gone.

Knowing that the way home must be intercepted by the imperial army, Sun Wanrong could not make other decisions, and many generals beat their chests and roared angrily. They all said that they wanted to return to Yingzhou.

Sun Wanrong could not return to heaven alone, so he could only be forced to make a decision that he knew was wrong: "Choose the nearest road, travel day and night, and return to Yingzhou!" ”

Li Duozuo had already ambushed the troops, and first hit them in an ambush on the road they had to pass. Fu retreated to the already set up haode defense line and struggled to intercept it, and the two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night. Sha Zha Zhongyi led the army to surround him from behind. Biting their tails is another hard beating.

Fortunately, Sun Wanrong was mostly a cavalryman with strong mobility, and he did not wait for Sha Zha Zhongyi to form an encirclement, so he jumped out of the encirclement and advanced westward, only to meet Lou Da Fat Man head-on in Yutian and wave his army to kill, and he lost his troops and generals in a battle. Sun Wanrong only led more than 20,000 horsemen to bypass Yuyang and rush to the northeast.

At this time, he was no longer in order to return to the army to rescue his clansmen, but how to protect his only remaining armed force, Liliang, and as a result, he bypassed Yuyang. Just after crossing the Great Wall, he was hit head-on with another dull stick: Xi Ren beat him in ambush.

King Xi learned of the alliance between the Turks and the Great Zhou, copied Sun Wanrong's lair, and immediately withdrew his troops in shock, convened a group of advisers to discuss urgently, and decided to surrender to the imperial court. In order to atone for his previous sins, he had to make meritorious contributions, so he sent soldiers and horses again, but Xi Bing, who was originally fighting with Sun Wanrong, has now become his enemy.

Sun Wanrong never thought that King Xi was actually a wall grass, after a hard battle, the men and horses were scattered, Sun Wanrong led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to flee westward, trying to penetrate through the vast wilderness of Xi State, and return to the territory of the Khitans.

Yang Xuanji went north with Wu Youyi, but as soon as Wu Youyi arrived in Hebei, he ran into the city to hide, and refused to come out again, and several of his generals were also restrained by him, and they were not allowed to act rashly, Yang Xuanji had no choice but to squat in Danzhou City to "recuperate".

This time, there was Lou Shide's military letter explaining that the Khitan nest was copied, and the army's heart was in turmoil, and there was a strict reprimand from Wu Zetian's edict before, and the combination of the two made Wu Youyi make up his mind to send several of his generals to participate in the encirclement and suppression, and Yang Xuanji was one of the soldiers and horses.

Sun Wanrong was blocked head-on, and fled eastward, but met another line of soldiers and horses under the command of Wu Youyi, the commander of the army was Zhang Jiujie, the former commander of the army, at this time the Khitan soldiers and horses had completely lost their fear, and they had no intention of fighting, and the two sides fought for a while, and Sun Wanrong led his troops to escape again.

The four fields are vast, it seems that there are ambushes everywhere, Sun Wanrong panicked and did not choose the road, he walked when he saw the road, and the result was farther and farther away from Yingzhou, at dusk, Sun Wanrong led the remnants to camp under a pine forest, counted the people and horses, several generals were scattered, and the most courageous general Luo Wuquan did not know where to kill in the chaos, at this time there were less than 3,000 people left by his side, almost all of them were injured, seeing this scene, Sun Wanrong couldn't help but cry.

When the moon was on the willow top, Fei Mo, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back, and he found several families of mountain people in a nearby mountain col, and when he inquired, he learned that they had fled to Lu County (now Tongzhou), just a step away from Youzhou.

Sun Wanrong listened to Fei Mo's report and couldn't help but be silent. Now that the night is dark, he may be able to hide for a while, and tomorrow the day will be dawn, and it will be difficult for him to escape again, and as expected, the army of the Great Zhou has blocked all the passages to the north.

In the forest, a bonfire burned desolately, and the red light could not hide Sun Wanrong's pale face. The sparks flew in the air, and when they hit people's faces, they turned into white ashes, and Sun Wanrong sat there without moving, and his hair was quickly covered with a layer of burned-out fly ash, as if dyed with a layer of frost.

Fei Mo looked at Sun Wanrong, who was silent, and said uneasily: "Generalissimo, what should we do now, the brothers are a little at a loss, and the generalissimo needs to make a decision before he can decide to act!" ”

Sun Wanrong shook his head silently, and said gloomily: "I want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty today, but more than 200,000 people have died in the Tang army at my hands, and if I surrender to the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely die." If you go to the Turks, the two ends of the Turkic rats, you can tolerate others silently, and you can't tolerate me. If he wanted to go to Silla, Li Duozuo's soldiers and horses had already blocked the road to the east. There is no good thing about this. If I want to go back to Yingzhou, Xincheng has been plundered, and the other six departments can't tolerate me in order to protect themselves, where else can I go? Where else can I go? ”

Sun Wanrong vigorously broke a dead branch in his hand, and broke the dry branch into two pieces with a "click".

Fei Mo opened his mouth and didn't say a word.

Fei Mo sat down silently beside him, looked back at the tired soldiers resting in the woods leaning against the trees, and sighed deeply.

Sun Wanrong raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

The frosty moonlight reflected on his beard. The beard shivered slightly in the wind.

After a long pause, Sun Wanrong said: "The eight Khitan tribes have different intentions, if not, the Tang people will not be so." The Turks or the Turks will not be able to defeat me easily! If. The six Khitan tribes who stayed in Yingzhou can read the friendship of the same clan. If we protect our people, why should we be defeated? ”

He shook his head with a wry smile, turned to Fei Mo, and said solemnly: "Fei Mo, you remember, if the eight Khitan tribes can't be unified. No matter how bitter it is, we must not raise the banner to rebel, it will only bring us ruin. We, the Khitan, must stand up, and the eight divisions must unite. Clench into a fist! ”

"Yes! I memorized the words of the Generalissimo! ”

After Fei Mo finished speaking, he said again: "Can ...... The generalissimo should instruct Luo Wuquan and He Axiao to say this, I ...... How can I be qualified to listen to the generalissimo's teachings? ”

"Don't be presumptuous, no one is born a hero!"

Sun Wanrong patted him on the shoulder: "He Axiao and Luo Wuquan have all broken up, and I don't know if I can survive, and now I can only tell you!" ”

He slowly stood up, took a long breath, and suddenly shouted, "Someone! ”

Although after a day of fighting and running, the clansmen were exhausted, Sun Wanrong sighed in a deep voice, and several leaders and personal soldiers around him still appeared in front of him quickly.

Sun Wanrong stared at Fei Mo, suddenly pulled out his saber, put it on Fei Mo's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Kneel!" ”

"Generalissimo ......"

Although Fei Mo looked dazed, he still knelt obediently in front of Sun Wanrong.

Sun Wanrong said solemnly: "You are the leader of the Diera tribe, although Diera is a small tribe of our clan, but your warriors have always been good at fighting and daring to fight, and they are a well-known warrior tribe of our clan." Now, I hand over me and the Khan's tribe to you, and you will protect them and lead them! ”

Fei Mo opened her mouth wide in shock, and it took a long time to react, and she said in a panic: "No, no, no, generalissimo, I can't, I ...... How can I manage such a large tribe? ”

Sun Wanrong smiled abruptly and said, "How big can it be?" There are not many people left in our tribe, and if the three tribes do not unite at this time, sooner or later they will be annexed by other tribes. ”

He lifted his spirits and said, "Listen, I will now merge my tribe and Li Duzhong's tribe into your Diera tribe. You have to let this new tribe settle down and prosper, and you will continue to grow stronger until you have the strength to dominate the eight Khitan tribes! ”

Fei Mo was at a loss, and said sneeringly: "I...... How do I do it? I can't ......"

Sun Wanrong said categorically: "You can't do it, and your son!" Not your son, and your grandson! Take my orders as your ancestral teachings, pass them on from generation to generation, and one day, your family will have a descendant who is both wise and brave, and can complete my last life today! ”

Fei Mo said in a daze: "Generalissimo, we ...... Now that we are under siege, life and death are unpredictable, and the future is ...... Let's talk about it after the breakout. ”

A treacherous smile escaped from the corner of Sun Wanrong's mouth: "I'll solve the current matter, and this is also the thing I, as your leader, do for you!" I trade my death for your life! Remember, I was killed by you, and only then can you be pardoned by the court and given you land to live in peace for our people! ”

The big and small leaders were all shocked, and they looked up at him together: "Generalissimo! "A few of the quick ones are ready to pounce.

"Do as I tell me, don't let me die in vain!"

Sun Wanrong's tone was sonorous, making the sound of gold and stone, just say a word, without waiting for everyone to react, the long knife in his hand has suddenly turned around, and suddenly slashed his throat! (To be continued......)
