"So what is he up to? If you want to prepare to fight back to the capital, there should be movement! ”

"Two days ago, I saw His Highness leave the camp with a team of personal guards and go north."

"To the north?"

"Fifty miles to the north is the Yin Land Pass of the Northern Han Dynasty, and at present, the Han and Liao coalition forces have 200,000 troops to defend this pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He has been facing off against His Royal Highness King Wei for more than two months, and it is difficult for each other to advance or retreat. ”

When he heard this, he stood up in surprise and shouted, "Could it be that he is going to the Yin Di Pass?" How many people did you bring? ”

"It's just about two dozen people!"

Thinking anxiously, "He must have gone to negotiate." But Yi Xiechen has always been ruthless, not to mention because I hate him. I won't let him go. ”

Yun Yueqi was also anxious when she heard this, "How is that good?" ”

"Go and ask Vice Marshal Pan!"

Yun Yueqi rushed away.

It didn't take long for Yun Yueqi to walk in, followed by a middle-aged general, it was Pan Mei, the deputy marshal of the expedition, I saw that he was strong, wearing armor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, very powerful.

I wasn't surprised to see Yun Moxi, presumably Zhao Ting had already given orders.

Clenched his fists and said, "What is the county lord calling Ben in the future?" ”

I was anxious and didn't be polite to him, and said directly: "Does the general know where His Highness has gone?" ”

"I went to the Netherlands."

"How many people did you bring? What are you going to do?"

"I only brought a few of His Highness's personal guards, and His Highness didn't say what to do. He just ordered that if he did not come back after three days, his subordinates should lead the army to retreat first. His Highness has also made arrangements for the retreat. ”

"But His Highness is so dangerous to go, isn't the general worried? How can you let Your Highness take such a risk and not dissuade him? Anxious and worried, he couldn't help but ask loudly.

Pan Mei showed a look of guilt and worry on her face, but she said firmly: "I will follow Your Majesty and the King of Wei for many years, countless births and deaths, and then follow the King of Wei to pacify the Southern Tang Dynasty, and now we are on a Northern Expedition together. How can you not be worried? But His Royal Highness has always ordered like a mountain, and he will only have the responsibility to obey orders! Moreover, His Royal Highness put the lives of 200,000 soldiers in the hands of this general, such an arrangement must have a deep meaning, and this general will lead it well if he swears to die, and he does not dare to disobey His Highness's order! ”

I knew that he was right, but I was still worried and anxious. Walked a few steps back and forth in the big tent.

Stopping, she turned around and said, "So be it! I will take someone to meet His Highness, how many soldiers can the general send to me? ”

"The county lord is going in person?" Pan Mei was stunned when she heard this, knowing that she didn't know martial arts, let alone had no experience in fighting, and a female stream was a person favored by His Royal Highness, so it would be difficult for her to explain if something went wrong.

"Master, no! Let the subordinates go down! Yun Yueqi on the side also persuaded.

"No!" Her tone was firm, "I must go!" ”

"But His Highness has instructed that if he can't come back on time after three days, he must protect the county lord and the army to retreat safely no matter what!" Pan Mei said.

"General, you can't stop it, I will go if you send troops or not. I can't stand idly by watching him take risks. "The eyes are firm and the momentum is tough.

Without waiting for Pan Mei to speak, she turned her head and ordered Yun Yueqi, "Give an order." Gather all the red kites in the vicinity and set off now!

Pan Mei saw that she was determined, and she was also worried about the safety of Her Royal Highness, but as a deputy marshal, she couldn't leave her post without permission.

Hurriedly said: "Although the general can't leave without permission to find His Highness in person, he can send a thousand soldiers to advance another thirty miles to respond." As for the great army, it cannot go any further. If there is any change in the army, the Han Liao army will also find out, and His Royal Highness has instructed not to provoke any more wars at this time. I hope the county will forgive! ”

"Thank you, General!"

"The county lord doesn't need to be polite, the general is also concerned about the safety of His Highness. It's just that His Royal Highness once ordered Ben to protect the county lord, and if there is a mistake, he will also lose a head! Since the county lord insisted on answering in person, Ben couldn't stop it and had to do his best to help. Tomorrow is the three-day period, and when the appointed time comes, the general will lead the army to retreat first, and I hope that the county lord must take care and return to the camp with His Royal Highness! ”

She nodded, "Definitely!" ”

Pan Mei's eyes showed gratitude, and she admired Yun Moxi very much, and she could only hope for her when she shouldered a heavy responsibility. No more words, solemnly hugged his fists and strode out to arrange.

Not long after, Yun Moxi walked out wearing a soldier's costume.

"The nearby red kite has been gathered, and there are more than two hundred people, waiting in the woods ten miles away!" Yun Yueqi rushed over to report.

"Let's go!" Issued an order, stepped on the horse and Yun Yueqi left the camp and headed north.

Fifty miles is only half a day's time.

Not far away is the Yin Di Pass.

From a distance, you can see the dense camp tents under the city, patrolling everywhere constantly, and the lights are bright.

Han Liao's 200,000 troops were stationed here.

Ordered the red kite to hide in the woods.

"Yueqi, you pick a few people with strong martial arts to inquire and see if there is any news of His Highness!"

"Yes!" Yun Yueqi took the order and left.

After waiting for more than an hour, Yun Yueqi rushed back.

"Lord Yu, I caught a few soldiers and asked, but I didn't see His Highness."

"Who is in charge of the Netherworld?"

"The Northern Han general Yang Ye is stationed in the east, and the Liao State is the general Yelusha in the west."

I thought for a moment, "Let's go west!" ”

"Why go west?"

"His Royal Highness wants to negotiate peace with Han Liao. Whether or not he competes for the throne, the only way to stabilize the situation is to stop the Northern Expedition first. Otherwise, the Song army would retreat rashly, the domestic situation would not be clear, and the army would be unstable, and Han Liao would inevitably take the opportunity to attack, and then it would be completely defeated. ”

"But Han Liao will also receive the news soon, will he agree to negotiate peace?"

"There are still odds at the moment...... But because Yi Xiechen will definitely not let go of his personal grudges, His Royal Highness King Wei may start with the peace talks of the Liao State first. ”

Ordered the people to move quietly to the west.

The defense of the military camp of the Liao State was obviously much lax.

For so many years, the Han and Liao countries have formed alliances with each other to support, but this time it is a war of the Northern Han after all, and the Liao army will naturally not do its best.

What's more, there is a lot of carelessness in the land of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Yun Moxi led the team to hide in the mountains, looking at the flat and inaccessible valleys in the upper and lower valleys, and was thinking about how to get close without being discovered.

At this moment, the gate of the Liao State military camp in the distance opened, and a team of men and horses rushed out.

"It's Your Highness!" Yun Yueqi on the side shouted in surprise.

Yun Moxi looked at it with great eyes, and took a closer look at the posture of the first rider who rode on the horse, which was very familiar, it was Zhao Ting.

I was very happy in my heart, and it was good to see him safe!

Be prepared to catch them up when they get closer.

But at this moment, a pair of centaurs came from the east.

As soon as I saw the costumes, it was the Northern Han Army, rushing towards Zhao Ting and others.

Zhao Ting's entourage also saw the danger, and automatically divided into two batches, one group slowed down and stayed behind to block the attack.

However, the team pursued by the Northern Han army was hundreds of people, and Zhao Ting's personal entourage was only about 20 people.

Yun Moxi hurriedly ordered: "Respond quickly!" ”

With a wave of her hand, Yun Yueqi led more than two hundred red kites hidden in the forest to rush out and rush towards the Northern Han pursuers, like a barrier to intercept the pursuers behind.

Zhao Ting saw the forest rushing out of the team, at first he thought it was an ambush of the Northern Han Dynasty, but when he looked closely, they were all wearing the costumes of red kites.

It was a surprise and a delight.
