However, there is a question that has been haunting Ye Yu Longqing's heart: 'With the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and 200,000 people, why don't you go out of the city to counterattack?' This really doesn't look like the style of the Ming Army? Could it be that they are plotting some kind of conspiracy in secret? 'Ye Yu Longqing felt that the Ming army might want to use the surprise attack strategy to defeat his own side in one fell swoop, so he was extra cautious, especially at night, Ye Yu Longqing was even more careless, so he ordered his elite soldiers to be on guard in shifts, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor every move around the camp at all times.

Perhaps it was Ye Yu Longqing's careful vigilance that played a role, and for so many days, the Ming army never launched a surprise attack. As time passed, Yelu Longqing became more and more nervous, because he knew that the army of Yeluzhong was getting closer and closer to Hamili, and perhaps he had already launched an attack. Success or failure is in this move, even with the city government of Yeyu Longqing, there is no way to be indistinguishable from joy and anger. In the past two days, Yehu Longqing seemed extremely restless, and his temper became irritable, and he couldn't sleep at night, and the guards outside the big tent saw the lights in the big tent on all night for several nights, and the figure of Yari Longqing kept pacing back and forth under the reflection of the lights.

Time passed slowly in the anxious mood of Yari Longqing.

At noon that day, while Ya Yu Longqing was absentmindedly eating lunch, Ali Daei, the general of the tent, suddenly led a dusty officer rushed in. Ye Yu Longqing suddenly realized something, his hand shook, and the meat cutting knife in his hand fell to the table with a clatter.

Alidaii said excitedly: "Your Majesty, great victory, great victory! ”

Ye Yu Long Qing suddenly stood up, and asked in a trembling voice, "Yes, is it Ye Luzhong?" ”

Alidaei nodded. The officer who came in with him immediately knelt down and said, "Two days ago, the king led a large army to capture Hamili in one fell swoop! Then, according to His Majesty's intentions, a group of soldiers and horses was left to garrison Hamil, and the king personally led the main force over, and now it has been almost two days since he left! ”

Ye Yu Longqing was greatly excited, and exclaimed; "Good! That's great! The battle is going exactly as I expected! ”

Ali Dayi bowed with great admiration: "Your Majesty is really like a god! ”

Ye Yu Longqing laughed, and then thought: "Now that the back road of the Ming army has been cut off, they will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry after receiving the news!" Then he said to Ali Dayi: "Gather all the generals at once!" Alidai Yingnuo ran down.

A moment later, the generals gathered in the Great Tent. All the generals had heard the news of Jerod's capture of Hamil and the arrival of the army to the west, so everyone was overjoyed.

Ye Yu Longqing glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone already knows the good news that Yeluzhong has captured Hamilit!" ”

Ali Dali said excitedly: "Our army has now captured Hamili and cut off the retreat of the Ming army, and these 200,000 Ming troops are already lambs to be slaughtered, and there is nowhere to escape!" The generals echoed and were very excited.

Ye Yu Longqing waited for the generals to be quiet for a while, and said with a smile: "Although the Ming Army is already a caged tiger, it is a tiger after all!" Thinking of the strength of the Ming Army, the generals couldn't help but nodded.

Ya Yu Longqing continued: "Although the current situation is very favorable to us, we should not be careless! The Ming army is in a desperate situation and is bound to be desperate, once these 200,000 Ming tigers and wolves are desperate, their momentum is not trivial! All the generals couldn't help but look solemn, and the excitement and joy just now were gone. Thinking of the price that will be paid to wipe out the 200,000 Ming army, everyone can't help but feel heavy.

Ye Yu Longqing changed his words, and said in a resolute tone: "But no matter how strong the Ming army is, this time it will definitely be difficult to escape!" Our army is bound to annihilate them in one fell swoop! Victory will surely belong to our Xiliao! Xiliao will win! The generals did not feel that their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted one after another: "Xiliao will win!" Xiliao will win! ……”

Ye Yu Longqing showed a satisfied smile and said, "The Ming army will definitely receive the news of the fall of Hamili in the near future. If I were Yang Peng, once I learned of this situation, I would definitely immediately concentrate my forces and rush out of the encirclement to the east! We're going to be ready for that! Turning his head to look at Mills, "Mills, you lead your troops and horses to immediately go to the retreat road of the Ming army to ambush, once the Ming army appears, don't worry about them, let them go." They will encounter the army of Jerod on the way, and let them fight first. If Jerod is unable to win, you immediately attack the rear of the enemy, and if Jerod is victorious and the enemy retreats, you will intercept and kill him halfway, not caring about destroying the enemy completely, but only destroying the enemy as much as possible. Mills bowed in agreement.

Ye Yu Longqing glanced at the others and said, "Although the most likely thing the enemy will do is to rush out of the encirclement to the east, there is no guarantee that they will make a desperate attempt to attack us. Therefore, the garrison of the camp must be guarded with care, and no one should be careless. "The people will make a promise together.

After the meeting adjourned, Yeri Longqing left Ahed. Ahed was the envoy sent by Yahu Longqing to Yahu Hugo before, this is a typical Central Asian face, in his forties, with a fat body and a somewhat honest appearance. Don't be fooled by his appearance, this man is actually more cunning than a fox.

"Is there any news from Liao?" Ya Yu Longqing asked.

Ahed said: "I just received the news, the atmosphere in Liao is becoming more and more tense, and I am afraid that Brother Ye and Tiger City will go to war!" ”

Ye Yu Longqing smiled: "I didn't want them to go to war before, but now I want them to start a war as soon as possible, and it's best to fight him in the dark!" ”

A fox-like smile appeared on Ahed's innocent and harmless fat face, and he said, "Your Majesty is wise! Now that our army is victorious, it's best not to let anyone interfere! ”

Ye Yu Longqing smiled and nodded, and ordered: "You must continue to pay close attention to every move in the Liao Kingdom, and report to me immediately if there is any situation." Ahed bowed and retreated.

Ye Yu Longqing walked to the map, his gaze fell on Hezhou, and he froze for a moment. Then he crossed the Yumen Pass in the east, and then followed the Hexi Corridor all the way to the east, Guazhou, Suzhou, Xuanhuafu, Xiliangfu, and then crossed the desert Yellow River until the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain, the richest in the entire Xixia region. Ye Yu Longqing's eyes showed excitement and impulsiveness, and he only felt that the expansion of the Great Liao to the east was just around the corner. Ye Yu Longqing's heart was no longer satisfied with the capture of Western Xia, and his heart flew farther away, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi, and even the entire Central Plains. It's an ambitious goal, but it's no longer a distant dream. Now that Emperor Yang Peng of the Ming Dynasty has fallen into a heavy siege, if Yang Peng can be captured in this battle, then it will not be far away to enter the Central Plains.

Ya Yu Longqing forced himself to restrain his thoughts as if he had escaped from a wild horse, and let himself calm down. He knows that the more this time, the more he must calm down, the more he must be cautious and the more he must not make mistakes. Ninety-nine steps have been taken in one hundred steps, and the last step is almost complete, and there must be no mistakes at this time. Ye Yu Longqing pondered whether there were any loopholes in his plan, and then considered from Yang Peng's perspective what kind of actions he would take in the current situation, and if there was anything he hadn't considered? Yeyu Longqing thought about it for a long time, and only felt that everything was in his own calculations, and there should be no problem.

That night, Yari Longqing climbed the lookout next to the Great Tent. I saw that the whole barracks were brightly lit as day, and there were scenes of longing for human figures everywhere, which were groups of troops responsible for guarding; Outside the camp, by the light of the bright moon, many scouts could be faintly seen galloping back and forth on the wilderness. Ye Yu Longqing nodded with satisfaction, only to feel that the defense was so tight, even if Yang Peng wanted to come to attack with all his might, he could only hit his head and break the bloodstream.

Ye Yu Longqing looked up at the city in the distance, and saw that the lights on the city wall were also bright, as if it were day, and the figures were longing and guarded. Ye Yu Longqing smiled slightly and muttered, "You should have learned the news of the loss of Hamili by now. Are you angry or fearful? As His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you should not be afraid, judging from your past actions, there is a good chance that you will lead a large army to attack in a desperate way. Hehe, but it's useless what you do, everything is under my control, and you're just a turtle in an urn now! The Ming Emperor is invincible in the world, but now he is about to be defeated in the hands of my Ye Yu Longqing! This will be the most glorious victory of my life! Speaking of which, Ye Yu Longqing couldn't control his emotions anymore and became excited.

Ye Yu Longqing's face suddenly became gentle, and his affection was as if he was facing his beloved lover. I only heard him mutter: "Hanyu, you never look at me squarely, but I want you to know that I am the real man, the real hero!" It's the Ming Emperor who you favor, and it's also my defeated men! What will happen to you then? You're going to be impressed with me! As if in a kind of fantasy, Ya Yu Longqing poured out his heart in front of the woman he admired.

It turned out that Yelu Longqing, like many nobles at the beginning, had infinite love for the country's beauty and natural fragrance but rejected the cold rain of Yelu thousands of miles away. Yelu Longqing once confessed to Yelu Hanyu, but in exchange for disdain, Yelu Longqing's self-esteem was greatly hit, so he buried this strong love deep in his heart. Later, Yelu Longqing established the Western Liao and became the founding king, and for a while, the king was invincible in the world. At this time, the deep love buried in his heart came to his heart again, so he sent people to inquire about the traces of Yelu Hanyu in many ways. In the end, he learned that Yelu Hanyu had become a subordinate of King Yan, and there were some ambiguous news, which made Yelu Longqing jealous. Western Liao has always been not very friendly with the Ming Dynasty, and has repeatedly invaded the Ming Dynasty in conjunction with the Khitan State, and the root cause of this jealousy lies in this jealousy.

Ye Yu Longqing looked at the city in the distance, only to feel that his dream was about to come true, and he couldn't help but tremble with excitement. My heart was full of longing, hoping that the outcome of this battle would come soon.

On the same night, far away in the governor's palace in Bianjing, Daming. Yelu Hanyu was on official business, but suddenly arrived with a palpitation. Yelu Hanyu couldn't help but feel that something bad was going to happen, stood up, and walked to the window. Pushing open the window, at this moment, a meteor suddenly fell from the sky, and that bright light illuminated the night sky, even more dazzling than the stars and moon.

Yelu's face turned pale when he landed in the cold rain. As a Khitan, she believed that if a human hero was about to die, his corresponding star would fall. I don't know why, as soon as Yelu Hanyu saw this falling meteor, he thought of Yang Peng, who was fighting in the distance, his heart palpitated, he panicked, and he was terrified.

Yelu Hanyu clasped his hands in front of his chest and told himself: 'Don't be cranky, how can something happen to him if he is such a hero?' However, although she told herself this, the palpitations became stronger and stronger, and it was as if there was a force pulling her heart out. Yelu Hanyu felt that he was going to die, and he looked at the far west, praying silently in his heart.

Realize the transfer to the camp of Yeyu Longqing. In the middle of the night, hurried footsteps rushed to the outside of the big tent. Ye Yu Longqing, who had not yet fallen asleep, immediately opened his eyes. Immediately he heard the whispered voices of Alidaii and the guards outside the big tent, as if Alidaii had an urgent request to see him, but the guards did not dare to disturb him.

Yari Longqing sat up and raised his voice, "Is it Alidaii?" Come on in. ”

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Alidaii entered. Seeing Ali Dayi's anxious look, Yelu Longqing couldn't help but feel moved, and asked with a smile, "Is there any news from Yeluzhong?" Where have they been? ”

Alidai said urgently: "Oh no, Your Majesty! The more than 200,000 troops of Yelu were suddenly ambushed by the main force of the Ming Dynasty near the Iron Monkey! ......" When Ye Yu Longqing heard this, the whole person was stunned, and he didn't react. Alidaei continued: "Jeruzhong is defenseless, the army has suffered heavy losses, and now it is surrounded by regiments! Just now, the messenger from Jerod arrived in the camp and asked for help! ”

Ye Yu Longqing finally reacted, and shouted in great annoyance: "This is impossible! It's absolutely impossible! Where did the main force of the Ming Dynasty come from? Aren't the main forces of the Ming Dynasty all in front of us? What about the Messenger? ”

Alidai said: "The messenger was exhausted and exhausted all the way, and fainted after saying these words, and the last general had ordered him to be carried down to save him. ”

Ye Yu Longqing paced back and forth, restless, and his mind was already a mess. Ye Yu Longqing didn't believe that this was true, how could Ye Luzhong have encountered the main force of the Ming army? But if that's true, then what's going on? Could it be that the total strength of the Ming army was not the 200,000 or so discovered earlier, but more than 400,000? Yelu Longqing couldn't figure it out for a while, and only felt as if his head was about to explode.

Putting aside the confusion of thoughts for a moment, Yari Longqing said to Alidaii, "Bring me the messenger at once!" Ali Dayi answered, and he was about to run down. Yelu Longqing suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! Alidaei quickly stopped. Yari Longqing walked up to Alidaii and admonished, "Don't let anyone else know what the messenger said!" Alidaei answered and ran down. Ye Yu Longqing frowned, his heart was puzzled and anxious.

A moment later, Ali Daei and one of the guards arrived in the tent with a pale, depressed young officer. Then the officer saw Ye Yu Longqing, and he didn't care about his physical discomfort, and knelt down; "Villain, villain to see Your Majesty!"

Ye Longqing ordered all the guards to retreat, then walked up to the officer, looked down at him, and asked sternly, "You are so bold, how dare you lie about the military situation?" Say, who is the mastermind? Ye Yu Longqing didn't believe that Yelu Zhongbu would be ambushed by the main force of the Ming Dynasty, and he had a suspicion in his heart, was it that those opposition forces that had been hiding in the country all along were making trouble with him? Therefore, as soon as Yeyu Longqing came up, he took the lead, unless he was a person with a very strong mind, otherwise in the face of Yelu Longqing's sudden questioning, he would immediately spit out the truth.

The messenger was really startled, and then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, what the villain said is true!" How dare the villain deceive the king! ”

Ye Yu Longqing frowned, and shouted: "Come on! Drag this Ming spy down and cut it down for me! The messenger was already pale, but when he heard that the emperor was going to cut him down as a great traitor, he was even more frightened! When the guard at the door heard the call, he immediately came in, took the messenger and dragged him out. The messenger cried out in a panic: "Your Majesty spare your life! Your Majesty spares your life! A villain is not a spy! A villain is not a spy! ”

Ya Yu Longqing motioned for the guards to stop for a moment. The two guards stopped, but still held the messenger.

Yehu Longqing walked up to the messenger, looked at him coldly, and said, "Who are you and I?" Is it so easy to deceive? Such a trick also wants to hide from me, Yelu Dashi? The messenger hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the villain is not a spy, the villain is really a messenger sent by the king of Yeluzhong!" In the arms of the villain is the arrow given by the king of Yeluzhong! ”

Ye Yu Longqing sneered: "That kind of thing can be faked. The mastermind behind you is really stupid, what rumors are not easy to spread, but you come to spread such rumors! The main force of the Ming Dynasty was obviously in front of me, and it was actually said that the main force of the Ming Dynasty ambushed Yeluzhong and surrounded it. This kind of childish lie, even a three-year-old child will not believe it, are you really a bully to me? The messenger was anxious and said urgently: "Your Majesty, every word of the villain is true, every word is true!" ……”

Ye Yu Longqing glared and shouted, "Shut up! The messenger closed his mouth in fright, and looked at Yari Longqing in confusion.

Ye Yu Longqing said: "I'll give you one last chance, tell me honestly, I can spare your life, otherwise I will divide your five horses into corpses and die a good death!" The messenger trembled with fear, and his face was as dead as ashes.

Seeing the messenger's expression, Ya Yu Longqing smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Now come and tell me who sent you here and for what purpose?" The messenger looked overwhelmed and did not speak.

Ye Yu Longqing said angrily: "Don't you still want to say it?" Looks like you're trying to die! ”

The messenger suddenly smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "What should the villain say?" The villain is obviously a messenger sent by the king to ask for help, but His Majesty just doesn't believe it! Alas, if Your Majesty really doesn't believe it, the villain can't do anything! It seems that the villain's life can't be saved, Your Majesty, you can kill the villain! But please Your Majesty must believe the words of the villain, the villain is by no means a spy, King Yelu and nearly 200,000 brothers are now in danger, please send an army to rescue as soon as possible! ”

Seeing that he was still talking nonsense, Ye Yu Longqing laughed in annoyance, and said sharply: "Okay, good! If you want to die, I will fulfill you! Then he shouted at the guard: "Drag it down, cut it!" The guard dragged the messenger down. A moment later, one of the guards came back and reported: "Your Majesty, the spy has been beheaded!" ”

Ye Yu Longqing frowned tightly and did not speak. Seeing that Ali Dayi next to him looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, he asked angrily, "What do you want to say?" ”

Alidai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm wondering, I'm wondering if what he said is true?" Ye Yu Longqing shouted angrily: "This is impossible! This person must be a spy sent by Yang Peng, intending to disrupt our army's plans! I will never be fooled! ”

Seeing that the emperor was so stubborn, Alidayi did not dare to say anything more. As the saying goes, 'a companion is like a tiger', and as a courtier, it is better not to touch the king's mold.

Ye Yu Longqing said, "You go down." Alidaei bowed and retreated.

Ye Yu Longqing frowned for a moment, then returned to the bed and lay down, trying to sleep. However, all kinds of thoughts came flooding back, and Yeyu Longqing couldn't sleep at all. Eventually, Ye Yu sat up, frowning, looking extremely irritable.

Suddenly he got out of bed and paced back and forth in the big tent, feeling uneasy, the words of the 'spy' kept lingering in his ears, and he couldn't feel at ease at all. Yelu Dashi stopped and shouted from the outside, "Someone! ”

When even one of the guards ran into the tent, bowed down and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Ye Yu Longqing said: "Call me Alidaii at once!" The guard said yes and ran down. Yari Longqing continued to pace in the big tent.

A moment later, Ali Daei came and bowed, "Your Majesty has summoned, I don't know what you command?" ”

Yelu Longqing hurriedly walked up to Alidaiyi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You, immediately send fast horse scouts to reconnoiter the situation of Yeluzhong's army!" Alidai bowed and said, "Please forgive your majesty, the last general has already sent scouts on his own initiative." Ye Yu Longqing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Turning around and walking to the map, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the place called the Iron Monkey on the map, and he frowned. Iron Monkey, the name of the place, is a town formed because of trade, also at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, located in the east of Shanshan City. Although that place is the only way to pass through the trade road at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, the peaks are towering and the strange rocks are craggy, which can really be called a dangerous place for soldiers. Ye Yu Longqing's heart kept asking the same question: "Is the main force of the Ming Dynasty really in the Iron Monkey?" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
