In the dead of night, he and Xie Anniang, a pair of lonely men and widows, sat on the edge of the couch, which made him feel quite uncomfortable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He then looked away, landing right at the door of the tent's curtain.

The cold wind blew the heavy felt curtain slightly, and the bright moonlight outside the tent took the opportunity to shine in through the gap, faintly reflecting a human figure.

Seeing this, he immediately became alert and asked loudly, "Who is the person outside the tent?"

"General Right, yes...... It's me, Nogiki. The man outside the tent replied.

"Come in!" Liu said.

He wondered in his heart, what was the purpose of Nogiki's visit late at night?

Nogi walked into the tent respectfully, and when he gave the salute, he didn't even dare to raise his eyes, and his voice was a little trembling, "Whew...... Wei, Huwei ran away yesterday while we were fighting with the Tibetans. I searched with Garhai all night, but I couldn't find any trace of him. ”

"Where do you think he's going?" asked Liu Yu, staring at his face.

Nogi's lips quivered, and his fair, pointed face turned a little red. Even if he has 10,000 reluctances in his heart, he can't tell the coach what happened.

He had already guessed where Huwei was, but he had never told him. But if he doesn't say it at this moment, he will be implicated with Garhai at that time.

"Huwei should have been reused because he couldn't be reused, and he felt that he couldn't hold his head up in front of our two elder brothers, so he went to take refuge in the Tubo people. ”

"Oh, he's not a stupid man. At this time, the Tubo people were at a disadvantage, and they were no longer as arrogant as before. If he surrenders, he will definitely be able to be reused. ”

Liu Yu drank all the honey in the bowl in one gulp, and Xie Anniang took the bowl. He walked down to his lodging and paced up and down the tent.

Seeing the boss's solemn face, Nogi bit his lip, as if he had made a lot of determination, "General Right, I will definitely find a way to catch Huwei and use his head to apologize to you and the Khan!"

Liu Yu turned his face to look at him, "What about the Garhai side, what did he say?"

Nogi thought for a while and then replied, "My eldest brother is more soft-hearted, he must have his own ideas. But I'm doing it for his good. He showed gratitude, "Thanks to the blue eyes of General You, we two brothers can sit in the position of the current captain, and we will never live up to your trust because of a mere prestige!"

Liu Yu was silent for a moment after hearing this, "Okay, I know." Go back, I'll keep that in mind. ”

Nogi was still a little panicked, he slowly retreated towards the curtain door, and at the same time did not forget to salute, "Please rest assured, General Right, I will definitely kill Huwei!"

After Nomu left, Xie Anniang stared at the door of the curtain for a while, then turned to Liu Yu and said, "This person is a little too ruthless, and he refuses to let go of his own brother-in-law." ”

Liu Yu nodded, "The threat of the Tubo people is still there, and this person is a general." In fact, even if he doesn't show this loyalty, I can't do anything with him. ”

Xie Anniang smiled slightly, "He thinks more than you, he actually wants to convey this meaning to Yelu Shilu through you." The Khan is the one who can really decide his fate, and if he wants to rise to the top, he must win the Khan's favor. ”

Liu Yu raised his head in surprise, "I really didn't think of this, or you think deeply." ”

Xie Anniang was not surprised by this, she pointed to her own small couch in the corner of the tent, and said with a smile: "You go to sleep quickly, only when you fall asleep, I can change my clothes." ”

......

It was a long and cruel winter, and Yelu Shilu led the Khitan Eight Divisions to completely retreat into the forest sea of Ulandaba.

The sheer number of trees in the primeval forest made it impossible for the cavalry on both sides to deploy smoothly.

After more than two months of stalemate, the Tibetans chose to withdraw from Linhai. And this happened to meet the wishes of Yelu Shilu, and he led his army to chase after the Tibetans. Before Cang Gyatso came to his senses, tens of thousands of Khitans had been beheaded.

This battle completely aroused the anger that had been buried in the hearts of the Tibetan people for a long time, and they chose to dig up the frozen soil in the snow outside the Ulanda Dam and build a road ramparts.

Yelu Shilu tried to send troops out of Linhai at night to attack the fortifications of the Tibetans, but after several times, the Khitans did not get any benefits.

After that, the two sides were completely locked in a standoff.

Relying on the grain and grass snatched from the Tubo people, the Khitan people persevered until the next day in May in the cold weather of the forest sea in Ulandaba.

The snow melts, and the snow flows into streams on the ground. When the ice scab on the bark melted, the towering trees revealed their original dark colors.

At the same time, the Khitan army was running out of food and grass. The soldiers were no longer adequately fed, and their daily meals were reduced from three to two.

For this matter, Liu Yu thought about it and didn't come up with a suitable idea. After much deliberation, he decided to go to Jerusherus.

Yelu Shilu was not surprised by Liu Yu's arrival, he had not yet gotten up, so he ordered his guards to bring a stool and let Liu Yu sit down on the side.

After that, someone brought hot mare's milk wine and handed it to Liu Yu's hand.

Liu Yu put the wine aside and explained apologetically: "After Su Ming's death, I swore that I would never drink alcohol again within three years, and I asked the Khan to forgive me!"

He raised his eyes to look at the Khitan Khan in front of him, and saw that this person had lost a lot of weight compared to last year.

Jerusheru struggled to half-sit up from his wide couch, "It's okay, who doesn't have a few friends. When I was younger, I loved to make friends, and Sorente the North Sea bear was one of them. ”

He stretched out his withered arms from the mattress, and several guards were quite eye-catching, and hurriedly stepped forward to change his clothes.

Liu Yu couldn't sit still on the stool, he stood up, "Khan, we don't have much food and grass anymore, do we want to continue to stay in Ulandaba?"

Yelu Shilu tucked one arm into the sleeve of the guard handed over, "Don't wait, get ready to go!"

"That's it?" Liu Yu couldn't believe that the order of the dignified Khitan Khan would be so simple.

"Well, that's all!" replied Jerusher.

"But the Tibetans have blocked all the way out from the east, how should we go?" Liu Yu expressed his worries.

"Go south!" said Jerusher.

After his reminder, Liu Yu remembered the contract he had reached with the defenders of the northern part of the Tang Dynasty years ago.

Xiao Canglan had already sent a flying pigeon to pass the book, saying that Qin Feng and the others had agreed to Yelu Shilu's request, and were willing to help the Khitans keep an eye on the south, so that the Tubo people would not have the opportunity to outflank them from there.

There is only one premise, when they are short of food, grass, and horses, the Khitans must provide them with enough food, grass, and horses.

Yelu Shilu put on his clothes, walked to the stove and rubbed his hands, "At the moment, there is not enough food and grass for them, but we have captured a lot of Tibetan horses, and we can send someone to send them over." ”
