"Report! Great Khan, Zhou State privy envoy Xie Xuan led the army to Daxing City! ”

Under the surrendered city, Yeluqi, who was dressed in armor, stood in front of the Chinese army's large array, looking solemnly at the head of the surrendered city that was fighting fiercely, and suddenly a horse rushed to the front, bringing not very good news.

"Huh?"

Hearing that Xie Xuan had arrived in Daxing City, Yeluqi's brows couldn't help frowning, and he glanced at the detective horse, but he didn't ask for details, just hummed softly.

"Great Khan, General Aletsi has a report here, please take a look at it!"

Seeing that Yeluqi's face was unhappy, the detective hurriedly took out a roll of cloth from his bosom and handed it to Yeluqi's horse with both hands.

"Herald! Collect the troops! ”

Yeluqi took the cloth, glanced at it, and didn't say much, just raised his hand and gave the order to collect the troops, and then did not wait for the siege soldiers and horses to retreat, and rode his own horses in the direction of the camp

As soon as Yeluqi returned to the camp, he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and he had no intention of convening the generals to discuss the matter.

Only Yelu Chucai was not afraid, and went straight into the big tent of the Chinese army, no matter what Yelu Qi thought, he said in a slightly complaining tone:

"Great Khan, our army has been here for a long time, and the surrendered city still can't be attacked for a long time, our more than 500,000 horses, people eat horses and chew a lot of food! It's better for us to bypass the surrendered city and go straight to the hinterland of Ganyong, where it is much easier than attacking the surrendered city! ”

"Sixth brother, don't worry, it makes sense for Ben Khan to stay here."

Looking at Yelu Chucai's angry look, Yelu Qi couldn't help but smile, pressed his hand to signal Yelu Chucai to take a seat, and said unhurriedly.

"What did the Great Khan say about this? Forgive the brother for being stupid, and ask the Great Khan to make it clear. ”

Hearing his brother say so calmly, Yelu Chucai couldn't help but be stunned, sat down in confusion, frowned and thought about it, but still didn't know what to do, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"Who does the sixth brother think Xie Xuan is?"

Yeluqi didn't rush to explain, but asked with a smile.

"This ......" Yelu Chucai was stunned, glanced at his brother suspiciously, didn't know what Yeluqi meant, and said tentatively: "The famous general of the world? ”

"Yes, this person has courage and knowledge, strategy, and a real enemy, if you don't get rid of it early, it will be my great trouble in the future, and now the little emperor of Zhou sent him to fight, since he came, he didn't plan to let him get away with it!" Yeluqi smiled confidently and made a bold remark, which made Yelu Chucai not know why.

"It's just that this plan will be settled?"

Yelu Chucai knew that he was okay with the march and fighting, but he was far inferior to his brother Yeluqi in strategy, so he hurriedly asked.

"This matter is easy to hear, for my brother, I guess that Xie Xuan must be planning to delay and wait for change, and the left and right are just counting on us to run out of food and force our army to retreat, even so, forcing it to fight is the way to victory!" Yeluqi obviously didn't intend to hide it from Yelu Chucai, so he explained with a smile.

"Have to fight? This ......"

The reason is so, this Yelu Chucai can also imagine, the question is how to force Xie Xuan to fight a decisive battle, this is not a simple matter, not to mention, as long as the surrendered city is not broken, Xie Xuan has no reason to come to the decisive battle, and the surrendered city is not so easy to attack.

This has been besieged for several days, except for the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there is no benefit, obviously, unless the soldiers and horses of the surrendered city go out of the city to find death by themselves, otherwise, just rely on the strong attack, there is no month, if you want to take the surrendered city, Yelu Chucai just wants to break his head, and he can't think of a way to quickly take the surrendered city.

"Sixth brother, you don't have to think about it, this matter is your own brother's concern, for your brother to have a matter for the sixth brother, you go to do it overnight, I don't know if the sixth brother will dare?" Yelu Qi looked at Yelu Chucai's distressed straight head with a smile, and said with a smile.

"The Great Khan has an order, just give orders, and his brother should die by himself!"

Yelu Chucai heard that Yelu Qi had something to do with him, and the whole person suddenly became energetic, bowed, and replied respectfully.

"Good! Ben Khan wants you to ......"

Yelu Qi leaned close to Yelu Chucai's ear and commanded in a low voice, until Yelu Chucai's eyes were round, and his face was full of excitement......

Guang'an County is located in the northwest border of Yongzhou, the stone city of governance, adjacent to Qishui, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the army has been sent to the tuntian here, agriculture and animal husbandry are very developed, it is the richest area of the seven counties in the north of Yongzhou.

And because it is located at the junction of the Great Zhou and Tiele, there are 8,000 elite soldiers, and among the counties of Yongzhou, the number of troops is only slightly less than that of Shuofang County.

The county is too shou Chu Xiaode, a native of Haidong County, Qingzhou, and was born in Zhaowu in five years.

He has served in this Guang'an County for nearly ten years, starting from the chief secretary of Shicheng County, Guang'an County, and has been promoted all the way to the position of Taishou, and it has been more than six years. But this Chu Xiaode was willing to be like a glutton, and governed a remote and bitter border county into a rich land comparable to the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

For example, although the Liao army is pressing the border, this Chu Xiaode is still the one who should deal with official business, and the one who should ask the case does not have the slightest sense of panic. No, noon has passed, and Chu Xiaode is still busy.

"Report, my lord, there is a horse outside the city who claims to be an envoy from Shuofang County, saying that there is an urgent military situation to ask to see your lordship, and Captain Wu of the city defense battalion does not dare to call the shots, and has already hoisted it into the city, and has now been escorted to the mansion, please make it clear!"

When Chu Xiaode was handling official business in the inner hall, suddenly a sergeant rushed in from outside the hall in a hurry and made a report out of breath.

"Oh? Quick, bring people up! ”

As the chief officer of the border county, it is impossible for Chu Xiaode not to care about the changes in the battle situation, this time when he heard that a messenger from Shuo Fang came, he didn't care about handling official business, and hurriedly instructed the sergeant.

"Han Jian, the deputy commander of the garrison of Shuofang County, visited Lord Taishou!"

Not long after, a big man wearing iron armor and a dusty face walked into the hall, and when he saw Chu Xiaode in the hall, he immediately strode forward, knelt on one knee, and bowed to the court.

"Captain Han has worked hard, since you belong to the army of Shuofang, why did you come to my Guang'an realm?"

"My lord, the Liao army has arrived at our surrendered city a few days ago, and we have been fighting for many days, and our army has suffered heavy losses! Now the Liao State has increased its troops again, and the city is in danger of surrendering, and the last general will be ordered by General Cheng Jun to break through the siege and ask for help. As Han Jian spoke, he took out a secret letter stamped with fire paint from his arms, and handed it to Chu Xiaode with both hands.

"Oh? There is such a thing, express delivery! ”

Chu Xiaode has been at the border for a long time, and he knows the importance of the surrendered city, once the surrendered city is lost, the northern counties of Yongzhou will have to face the front of the Liao army, and the three counties of Guang'an, Zhucheng and Shuofang will fall into an isolated and helpless situation, and will be cut off by the Liao army.

As soon as he heard Han Jian's words, Chu Xiaode was taken aback, hurriedly got up and walked down the hall, took the paperwork and picked up the fire paint, took out the letter and read it, and saw that Chu Xiaode's brows couldn't help frowning, and his face was cloudy.

"My lord, the surrendered city has been attacked by Liao thieves for several days, and the city defense is broken everywhere, and it seems that it is no longer supported, please send troops quickly to rescue the surrendered city!"

Seeing that Chu Xiaode didn't say a word, Han Jian couldn't help but be anxious, his eyes turned red, he kowtowed vigorously, and said in a choked voice.

"Han Duwei is not in a hurry, this official will not sit back and watch the fall of the surrendered city, but this matter is not trivial, and allow this official to discuss with the generals in the county, Han Duwei, you will go down and rest first." Sending troops is a big deal, Chu Xiaode didn't dare to respond at will, and when he saw that Han Jian was in a hurry, he hurriedly comforted him.

"Saving a city is like fighting a fire, my lord! The surrendered city is in danger, and it really can't be delayed! ”

As soon as Han Jian heard that Chu Xiaode was perfunctory, his face turned a little pale, and he suddenly kowtowed a few more times, breaking his forehead, and pleading with blood on his face.

"This ......" Seeing Han Jian anxious like this, Chu Xiaode didn't know what to do for a while, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and said in a straight voice: "Don't worry, Captain Han, this official has his own plan, come here, go and invite Captain Bandu to come to discuss the matter!" ”

"No!"

The sergeant standing on the side of the hall hurriedly answered the promise in a loud voice, but after a while, he led a tall general from outside the hall, this person was the commander of Guang'an County and the garrison of Shicheng.

Ban Hao is a person from Liaobei County, Yingzhou, more than eight feet tall, brave and abnormal, good at using soldiers, was originally the captain of the Imperial City of Shendu, because Li Shifang refused to belong when he was in charge, Xuan was transferred to Guang'an County as the captain, and it has been more than four years.

"The last general will see Taishou-sama!"

Ban Hao originally sat in the army to supervise the training of the army, and when he heard that the envoy from Shuo Fang had arrived, he hurriedly handed over the military affairs to the deputy general, and hurried all the way to the Taishou Mansion.

"Captain Bandu came just in time, this is Han Jian, the deputy commander of the garrison of the surrendered city, Han Duwei!"

Chu Xiaode was unsettled, and when he saw Ban Hao coming, he hurriedly waved his hand to signal Ban Hao to excuse him, and then introduced to Ban Hao.

"The last general, Han Jian, pays a visit to Captain Bandu!"

As soon as Han Jian saw Ban Hao's gaze, he immediately bowed down and saluted with his fists.

"Captain Han doesn't have to be polite, how is the battle situation now?"

Ban Hao glanced at Han Jian, his eyes flashed suddenly, as if he had realized, but he didn't say anything, just politely returned the military salute, and asked indifferently.

"Back to the capital captain, the surrendered city is now in danger, and the last general will be ordered by Cheng Junmen ......"

Swept away by Ban Hao's eyes, Han Jian panicked for no reason, but he didn't dare to bring it to his face, so he could only bow down and repeat what he had said to Chu Xiaode before, and finally knelt down on one knee and pleaded again:

"Captain Bandu, the surrender of the city is related to the safety of the community, and there is no room for failure! I implore the Commander to send troops immediately to the aid of the surrendered city! ”

"Captain Han please get up quickly, the surrendered city is to be saved, but Captain Bendu has some questions and hopes that Captain Han will answer them." Ban Hao was obviously not moved by Han Jian's sorrow, and asked indifferently.

"Captain, please ask, but whoever knows about it will not dare to hide it!"

As soon as he heard that Ban Jian had the intention of sending troops, Han Jian's face immediately showed an excited look and responded excitedly.

"Han Duwei said that Liaokou would increase his troops, but he didn't know how many troops were increasing? Who is leading the way? How many steps and rides are there? Ban Hao nodded quietly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight to the point.

"Back to the general's words, the last general rushed out of the city last night while it was dark, only to know that the enemy army suddenly arrived before sunset, look at the flag, the leader is the marshal of Tokyo in Liao, the head of the Yan Department Ye Luxin.

As for the size of the enemy's army, because the sky was too dark to see clearly, the last general estimated that there were no less than tens of thousands of people, so General Cheng was afraid that Liaokou would be unstoppable, so he ordered the last general to break through the siege and ask for help. ”

Han Jian came prepared at a glance, and his answer was leaky, and the sentence "I can't see clearly, I can't estimate it" blocked the possibility of Ban Jian asking in detail.

"I see, that's good! Captain Bendu will send troops now, but it will take some time for the troops and horses to be mobilized, so Captain Han will go down to rest first, and when he can send troops, he will also ask Captain Han to be the leader. Ban Hao didn't ask any further, but waved his hand and gave an affirmative answer.

"Captain Xie! Captain Xie, the surrendered city has been saved! ”
