"Pursuit."

These were the last words left by Jereux.

"I promise you." Xu Yongzhi said to Yelu Hugo.

Jeruhugo shuddered and swallowed his last breath.

Xu Yongzhi is just a guest, not even a Liao.

If he came to give orders, the Liao army would definitely not obey.

The normal way is to find another commander like Yelu and hand over the command to him.

But now that the soldiers are scattered all over the mountains, it is not easy to find allies!

Xu Yongzhi thought for a while, put Yelu Hugo's body on horseback, and he found the baggage thrown by Song Jun in the nearby woods.

There are cars, and there are livestock!

Now, if there is a carriage, it can make the army think that Jeruhugo is not dead, and it will be easy to do.

He went to pull the cattle, only to find that the frame was a donkey.

But it is also ordinary, and horses are generally used for baggage, but the Song army has been short of horses for a long time, and many armies are dragged by donkeys and mules.

"Donkeys are donkeys!" Xu Yongzhi put his heart sideways.

He took up the body of Jeruxiugo, lay him down on the donkey cart, and sat down in front of the donkey cart himself, and drove the donkey forward.

As soon as the car returned to the main road, he met the lieutenant general and the flag bearer of Yelu Hugo.

Yelu Huge's lieutenant is called Han Dening, and this young man is still young, just over twenty years old.

His father is Han Kuangsi, the powerful minister of the Great Liao, and his elder brother Han Derang is the chief general of the Nanjing garrison, and his grandfather is the servant of the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, but by his father's generation, he has become a famous Han military family in Liao.

He served as an adjutant general beside Yelu Hugo, which meant training and learning.

Han Dening chased after him with a torch and saw Xu Yongzhi's donkey cart, Han Dening has been following Brother Yelu Xiu these days, and he is already very familiar with Xu Yongzhi.

"Xu Xianggong!" Han Dening greeted Xu Yongzhi.

Xu Yongzhi beckoned, allowing Han Dening to move closer.

"Your Excellency is dead." Xu Yongzhi lowered his voice and said.

Han Dening lifted the blanket, saw that Yelu Xiuge's face was pale and pale, uncovered the bandage on his chest, wiped off the gold sore medicine, and when he looked at the wound, he was stabbed through his right chest from behind.

"Who did it?" Han Dening looked suspicious.

Xu Yongzhi smiled bitterly, he knew that this young man was doubting himself.

"It's Yang Ye, that is, Liu Jiye, I'm chasing Pan Mei, Brother Hugh followed me down, Yang Ye suddenly appeared and stabbed Brother Hugh, I really can't go back."

"How can I trust you?" Han Dening asked.

"You don't have a choice, before Brother Hugh breathes, let me definitely pursue, the Song army still has reinforcements, if the pursuit is not done properly, there is a possibility that the situation of this battle will be reversed." Xu Yongzhi said.

Han De thought for a moment and carefully examined Yelu Xiuge's wounds.

"Xu Xianggong, you can't mourn, the army's heart will be chaotic." Han Dening said.

Xu Yongzhi gave a thumbs up and praised the young man.

Han Dening looked at Xu Yongzhi.

Perfect.

Xu Yongzhi's size and figure are similar to Yelu Huge.

"You put on the general's armor." Han Dening said.

Xu Yongzhi knew what he was going to do.

"It's not going to work."

"Please!"

Xu Yongzhi changed into Yelu Xiuge's armor and helmet, Yelu Xiuge's body was wrapped in a flag, only said that it was "Xu Xianggong's body", and arranged for the flag bearers to make a stretcher with spears and carry them back to Nanjing City.

Han Dening looked at Xu Yongzhi.

"It shouldn't be you, the wound in the chest was pierced by the knight during the high-speed impact, not a close-quarters plot. But you have received the favor of Lord Jerud, and now you must take command of him and win this battle for him! ”

This child is very simple, adults believe in you, I believe in you.

Xu Yongzhi nodded, don't let it go at this time.

Xu Yongzhi sent heralds to the ministries:

"The general is slightly injured, it's not a big deal, now take the light car to give the order, and pursue with all your might!"

The heralds cheered and rushed to all parts of the battlefield.

Han Dening flicked the whip, and the donkey cart went straight to the direction where Zhao Guangyi had fled.

According to the records, Yelu Hugo was seriously wounded at the beginning of the Battle of the Gaoliang River, and could only pursue in a light car, and gave orders and commands for him left and right to chase Zhao Guangyi.

The word light car, this is for His Holiness.

It was Zhao Guangyi who fled for his life in a donkey cart, and Xu Yongzhi who sat in another donkey cart and chased him behind.

"Don't covet the head, don't rob the livestock, go all out to find the Great Song Emperor, after this battle, everyone will be rewarded!" Xu Yongzhi continued to order through Han Dening.

This time, at least three or four thousand Song troops were able to survive, which was Xu Yongzhi's selfishness.

However, this order did cause great panic to Zhao Guangyi.

The baggage troops released cattle and sheep to interfere with the pursuers, which is also a common method since ancient times, when Cao Cao used such a tactic when he lured the enemy Wen Chou, but the Liao army did not spread out like an irrigated water source, but pounced on Zhao Guangyi's donkey cart like a column of water.

The people who were killed and injured this time were all Zhao Guangyi's henchmen, among these people, the elite of the forbidden army, the old people of the palace, and even the children of meritorious service.

The first two are fine, at most they are pensions, at most they feel that their talents are rare and distressed.

But so many meritorious sons died, even if the emperor went back, he couldn't explain it.

Today, we always feel that the king calls the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but the Song Dynasty itself is very special.

The Zhao family and each family are old colleagues, old comrades-in-arms, and a big compound.

Everyone's core skills are nothing else, they are all fighting.

It was because Zhao Kuangyin was the best at fighting that he became Song Taizu.

Now, Zhao Guangyi, you, the second generation, have fought like this, even if you don't say it, you will spit on you in your heart, not to mention that the children and nephews of various families are by your side, and they all die to protect you, which is really tragic.

It is also fortunate that Taizu had the foresight to make a glass of wine to release the military power.

Otherwise, I am afraid that today these people who have lost their children will rebel.

The Liao army pursued it until dawn.

For the whole night, the city of Zhuozhou was open, waiting for the defeated army to enter the city.

All the news that the remnants of the defeated army will bring back does not know the life and death of the emperor.

The military discipline at the beginning of the Song Dynasty was quite strict, and if the generals were left to flee, they would be beheaded, and if the emperor drove the expedition in person, theoretically, all those who ran back before the emperor would be beheaded.

However, none of these people died, because the guard general who was stationed in Zhuozhou was none other than Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and the king of Wugong County.

"Your Highness is kind."

This is the unanimous evaluation of Zhao Dezhao from top to bottom.

Of course, Zhao Dezhao actually didn't have a choice.

Uncle inherited the throne, he was the eldest prince of the first emperor, he was originally a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, he had to be benevolent and low-key in order to save his life.

Zhao Dezhao ordered these defeated troops to join the ranks of the defenders immediately, after all, there may be a big battle soon.

This paved the way for him to be attacked in the future.

Pan Mei returned to Zhuozhou City, and after encountering Yang Ye's rescue, he rushed to Youzhou non-stop, earlier than the emperor returned.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Zhao Dezhao, and Zhao Dezhao split his head and asked, "How is the official family?" ”

Pan Mei was stunned for a moment when she was asked, and then she understood that she was already a capital offender, and if Zhao Dezhao drew his sword and cut himself at this time, then she had no way at all.

"The official ...... He ......"

What he does!

Pan Mei didn't know Zhao Er's whereabouts at all.

Zhao Dezhao would have mistaken the meaning and felt that he was a murderer.

"Is it ......?"

Pan Mei saw that Zhao Dezhao did not immediately look for his bad luck, and her courage was also strong.

This person suddenly had an idea, maybe Zhao Guangyi really died in the hands of Xu Yongzhi.

"Your Highness, you should still make a ......decision early," Pan Mei said.

"This can't be done, we have to wait for news from the official family!" Zhao Dezhao said categorically.

"This young man is afraid that the emperor is not dead." Pan Mei thought.

At this time, the people around Zhao Dezhao spoke up one after another to persuade him.

Pan Mei thought for a while and said an ambiguous sentence:

"Lord Wang, now that the military horses are bad, even if the official family is safe, you are also the supreme commander here, please hurry up and give orders."

Zhuozhou has a history of assassination, defense envoys and regimental training envoys, but the level of these people is very low, these defeated troops have come over, some people have a higher level than them, and there are indeed command troubles, if Zhao Dezhao does not give the order, Pan Mei will take over the defense of Zhuozhou.

"That's fine." Zhao Dezhao sighed.

Zhao Dezhao looked at the fifty cavalry around him, these were his personal soldiers, and there was still some combat effectiveness.

Hurriedly gathered the horses brought back by the defeated army, assigned them to those who were not injured, and temporarily organized a team of seventy-one horsemen.

At this time, there was a shout from the head of the city, saying that the official family had returned.

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly rushed to the head of the city.

Looking north from the north gate of Zhuozhou City, an exhausted donkey cart was speeding in front, and it was Wang Jien who was driving, and the person lying on the car was Zhao Er, who was injured in the buttocks.

There were only a dozen soldiers left around - Li Shoujie was captured by the Liao army in the chaos.

These are the soldiers who have discarded their armor and have been running all night.

There is also a donkey cart in the back, and it is Han Dening who is driving the car, leaning in the car, looking at the color of the clothes and the flag, it should be Yelu Xiuge, and a group of Liao soldiers behind him are not heavily armoured, some with bows and arrows, some with spears, and they are all chasing on foot.

The two are getting closer step by step.

"Who's going to save the driver?"

Zhao Dezhao looked at Pan Mei.

Pan Mei is a famous general of the Song army, there is no more suitable person than him, if he comes forward, these Liao troops will also be afraid of his fame and retreat.

Pan Mei lowered her head.

He was completely frightened by the night, and stroked the little abrasion on his cheek, as if he couldn't fight.

Zhao Dezhao glanced at Pan Mei with disgust, picked up his gun and got on the horse.

Behind him, the improvised cavalry also followed him out of the city gate.

"The cavalry from Zhuozhou has come out."

Han Dening said to Xu Yongzhi.

"Let's prepare to camp outside Zhuozhou, we can't capture Zhao Er."

"I'm really unwilling." Han Dening said.

"Our forces can't carry the cavalry now." Xu Yongzhi said.

He looked at the general opposite, and his heart moved.

"Get the car to the front."

"It's too dangerous!"

"It's okay, get here!" Xu Yongzhi said.

He put on Yelu Huge's visor, so that no one in the Song army would recognize his face.

Dressed like this, even the Liao army thinks that he is Yelu Huge.

Wang Jien carried Zhao Guangyi's donkey cart past Han Dening's cavalry and went straight to the north gate of Youzhou.

Zhao Guangyi was saved.

Xu Yongzhi's donkey cart walked in front of Zhao Dezhao.

Zhao Dezhao twisted the barrel of the gun excitedly and prepared for a decisive battle.
