The grassland tribes fought, the victory was like a fire, the defeat was like a mountain, at this moment the most powerful tribes were defeated by the Yang family, where did the others dare to pick up the tiger's whiskers, the leaders took their cronies and warriors to turn their horses and fled, and the cavalry battalion and the white feather battalion led by the Yang family cavalry and Wu Yingying chased out ten miles away before turning back. In this battle, there were thousands of Khitan corpses in Shuozhou, and the battlefield was full of ownerless war horses.

"Lanzhou Wu Yingying, I have seen Lord Liu Jiedu. Although Liu Jiye is called "Yang Invincible" in private, the Han lord Qin gave the surname of the country, about a brother, which is a rare honor, and he is called Liu Jiedu in person. The shadow of the famous tree of people, the famous generals in Chinese history, the wise generals, the fierce generals are like the sand grains of the Ganges, and in the end, the most talked about by the world is the Yangmen Tiger General. Although many of the storylines are fabricated, if it weren't for the righteous deeds of the Yang family who spilled blood on the border, how could the people recite it by mouth. Wu Yingying has admired Liu Jiye for a long time, although he led the festival town, he took care of the subordinates to participate in the superiors, and the younger generations saw the etiquette of the elders and saluted respectfully.

Yang Ye had a thin face, deep eyes, and a short beard on his tightly pursed lips, and he knew at a glance that he was a taciturn and heavy person. He took off his helmet and handed it to Wang Gui, carefully looked at the backward Wu Hero of the newly commanded Tuhun Army, stretched out his hand and said, "Commander Wu doesn't need to be polite. Pointing to the Han people on the mountain who were supporting each other happily, he said: "Commander Wu did this great benevolent and righteous thing, and Liu should help him." As he spoke, his eyes glanced directly at Han Derang who was standing next to him, as if there was a transparent air over there.

Han Derang smiled a little embarrassedly, and walked to the side to let the Lanzhou Army wrap his wounds. He knew that Liu Jiye had an upright temperament, and the Khitan lord had also invited him to return to Shun in the past, but who wanted the envoy to be sent back without even seeing him. Later, the lord of the country sent an edict to let Liu Jiyuan, the monarch of the Northern Han Dynasty, let Liu Jiye go to the Khitan to meet, who knew that although Liu Jiyuan was mean and vicious, and almost killed all the Han royal families, he knew that Liu Jiye was a pillar of the country, and he must not be taken lightly, and he shirked the prevarication in many ways, even if he sent the prime minister to Shangjing to apologize, he refused to send Liu Jiye. Later, Zhou Shizong and Song Taizu rose up, the Central Plains became a strong enemy of the Khitan, and it became the national policy of the Great Liao to form a good alliance with the Northern Han Dynasty to resist the Central Plains, and it was inconvenient to strengthen Liu Jiye to enter Liao, and this person has been in trouble with the Khitan tribes on the border.

Lieutenant General Lanzhou Lang Han Derang carefully bandaged the wound on his back, and the entourage's knife was pierced on the shoulder blade and did not enter the lung lobe, so the injury was not serious, just bleeding and painful. While grinning, he suddenly heard someone next to him talking and laughing loudly in Khitan language, Han Derang looked sideways, and it turned out to be the Khitan captain who killed the enemy next to Wu Yingying. Xin Gu has been injured many times and is cleaning his wounds, he was still a little afraid of the Khitan people, but after this battle, everyone lived and died together, and they had a friendship. He was originally a Khitan, and he talked and laughed with several palace troops who were bandaging.

Han Derang is proficient in Chinese, Khitan, Goryeo and the colloquialisms of many tribes on the grassland, and at this moment he listened to Xin Gu and the Han people in the tent Langzhong couldn't understand, and he wantonly told the Khitan people's unique meat jokes with the palace army. When his gaze fell on Xin Gu's open chest, it suddenly became solemn, and under the criss-crossing scars, this imprint faintly appeared, which was the mark of the close slave of the Liao Emperor. This mark was found only on the slaves who personally served the emperor, and each emperor was different, and Han Derang once saw a similar mark on his grandfather's chest by a very accidental circumstance. Staring at that special mark and carefully examining Xin Gu's appearance, Han De's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but recall an earth-shattering event a few years ago.

The more Han Derang looked at it, the more real it became, but his face was silent, and only after Na Langzhong finished bandaging himself did he walk up to Xin Gu and said in Chinese: "Greet little brother and brother Hua on my behalf." ”

Xin Gu smiled and was about to agree, but suddenly stopped, and stared at Han Derang fiercely with a pair of eyes. The atmosphere that had been very happy with each other suddenly turned cold, and even several other palace soldiers felt murderous and showed a wary look at Xin Gu.

Han Derang confirmed that it was correct, smiled slightly and said in Chinese: "I am a Han person, Wu Yingying's righteous brother, and there is no malice." After speaking, he walked out of the tent in Langzhong as if nothing had happened. Xin Gu sat in place and pondered in a muffled voice, and the other palace soldiers didn't know what was going on, and they no longer talked and laughed with him casually.

Liu Jiye ignored Han Derang, and it was inconvenient for him to come forward to see him, so he walked up and called Wu Yingying: "Brother, since Daizhou Yang Wushu is coming, the eldest brother will no longer bother," Seeing Wu Yingying's regretful look, Han Derang's heart was hot, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "I saw the Khitan rider under your command with a mark on his chest, there is some origin, do you know it?"

Wu Yingying bowed his head and said: "Captain Xin is the arm of his brother, he used to be a horse thief on the grassland for some time, if someone in the Liao State can't get along with him, he also asks his brother to protect him." ”

Han Derang smiled slightly, and said: "I saw him rushing to kill beside you, and he blocked the open and hidden arrows for you several times, he is indeed a reliable man." However, his origin is not so simple, this trouble just needs no one to know, once it breaks out, don't say that you and me, even Liu Jiyuan and Zhao Guangyi can't bear it. When I am gone, you can ask him. He smiled again: "The clouds are from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, and the brothers are very relieved to see the warriors from all over the world gather under the command of their brothers." You and I look forward to coming to Japan and developing our ambitions together. Looking at the direction of Shuozhou, he said: "There are still some small things to be taken care of first, so I will leave for my brother." After speaking, he turned around and left, turned over the saddle and got on the horse, Han Derang turned around and arched his hand to Wu Yingying and urged the horse to go. The palace division army fought a bloody battle for the soldiers and civilians of Lanzhou, and there were many casualties, but now they only turned the comrades who died in the war into ashes and took them away, and the horses and blades on the battlefield were all over the ground.

After seeing Han Derang go away, Liu Jiye asked with a gloomy face: "How does Commander Wu have a relationship with the Khitan Palace?"

Wu Yingying hurriedly and respectfully explained: "The commander of this palace division army is the person who advocates Shuozhou to hand over the Han people to Lanzhou, and should promise to escort our army and people to the border. ”

"Oh. Liu Jiye nodded, although the border general took the protection of the territory and the people as his own responsibility, but for many years, he had to deal with the enemy generals more or less, and advised: "The Khitan is no better than other Hu tribes, and has been spying on Shenzhou for a long time, I see that this Khitan nobleman is a hero, but it is not my race, the greater the ability, the greater the disaster, Commander Wu must be careful, don't be painful for the relative, and the enemy is happy." ”

The speaker is earnest, and Wu Yingying can only be called yes. Liu Jiye said again: "The Tuhun army is a horse army, and these Khitan mounts will be pulled back by you." ”

Wu Yingying was shocked when he heard this, not to mention that if there was no rescue of Liu Jiye's flying soldiers, the soldiers and civilians of Lanzhou would be more than lucky, and not that the war horse was an important military material, just counting the value of thousands of horses would be worth tens of thousands of yuan. He immediately waved his hand again and again and said: "How can this be born, the Lanzhou army is all thanks to Liu Jiedu's sons and daughters to save them, and I have no objection to these war horses and weapons, even if they are all pulled to Daizhou." ”

Seeing his resignation, Liu Jiye seemed to be a little impatient, and waved his hand: "As soon as there is a war, the horses are killed and injured very much, and I heard that the villains in the court are going to interfere with Lanzhou in terms of food and salary for a long time, so you will bring back all these war horses to supplement the consumption." ”
