Chapter 274: Survival
The sudden rout at the end of August brought a cold winter to the Liao State to resist the eastern and western armies of the Wu Dynasty in advance, Xiao Ganqi was not only outstanding in military performance, but also because he was a relative of the Empress Dowager Xiao of the dynasty, in the increasingly tense situation, he could still command 50,000 horses, while Yelu Dashi only had 30,000 people, which shows that he was very graced.

After Xiao Gan's death, the head was taken away, and the original Qiong Demon Nayan sent cavalry to pursue, but was stopped by Guo Yaoshi, who followed later, and while beware of Xin Xingzong, he led 50,000 people to move closer to Yelu Dashi and re-consolidate the division of the defense area.
Guiyi, in the silent barracks, only the lights were still on the side of the tent, and in the dimness, the patrolling soldiers came and went, patrolling around the tent, obviously Xiao Gan's death made the commander of this military camp feel a chill on the back of his neck. There are stars in the sky, and the night in the north is gradually darkening in this starry sky.
Inside the tent, several figures were reflected in the tent, vaguely, and then someone was talking.
"..... don't talk nonsense, no wonder General Guo at this time, if he hadn't taken the opportunity to pull 50,000 soldiers over, he wouldn't have been targeted by Xin Xingzong's people, if you really want to talk about merit, General Guo is worthy of it. ”
"Don't dare....Xiao Beiyuan's matter, although the last general is in the side camp, it can only take half a pillar of incense from the time the enemy breaks the door to the last general organizes soldiers and horses to rush over....I didn't catch up, and the crime of dereliction of duty is hard to blame. ”
........
The words were talked about for a while, and then the curtain was lifted, the leg skirt was slightly cocked, and a figure withdrew, and the expression on his resolute and emaciated face was full of humility, and he bowed back, and then the curtain was lowered, and when he got up and turned around and strode away, his eyes were drooping, and his face was a little more gloomy, and he was wary.
At the moment when there was a change quietly, in the handsome tent, a tall figure with an iron face sat on a wooden chair wearing a big hat, and tilted his head: "This Guo Yaoshi's resentful army is just a slave soldier, and he has not won a few battles, but he has been able to rebel repeatedly, first that Dong clown, then Luo Qinghan, Dong Zhongsun and others, and finally Uncle Xiao's chaos in the past, Daddy, do you think they will get rid of Uncle Xiao by joining forces with the people of the Wu Dynasty?"
Yelu Dashi sat behind the handsome case, squinted at her in the light for a while, and sighed: "A woman should not do this all day long, do that ..... Guo Yaoshi's matter, do not move him for the time being, after all, Xiao Gan's 50,000 troops were brought by him, and it was the time to send carbon in the snow, killing him at this time has a bad impact, you don't always judge a thing by your preferences, it will mislead you." ”
The woman leaning on the chair was a little heroic, and at this time she also turned around and looked over there: "Daddy....always dislike Hongyu is a man's body....but that's not something I can decide." ”
"Daddy didn't dislike it....Daddy just some... Recently, I have been haggard and a little dazed. ”
"It's disgusting!" the iron-clad woman ripped off her mask and threw it on the ground, roaring, "Then why do you always let Hongyu wear a cold?"
Turning around sharply, he shook the lower edge of the big gun, and was about to walk out.
Phew-
"Stop, where are you going?" said Yelu Dashi slammed the table and got up.
Yelu Hongyu turned her face sideways, she was a little soft under the dim oil lamp, but her voice was indifferent: "Daddy hesitates, it is better to kill the three of Guo Yaoshi on behalf of Hongyu, firmly control 50,000 people in his own hands, and then we will go elsewhere to find a living." ”
"Survival?" Yelu Dashi was stunned for a moment, and then came down silently.
The current situation does make him feel unprecedented pressure, the army of the Liao State in the east is retreating, even the emperor is in exile and life and death are uncertain, the overall situation in the court has always been Empress Xiao, and Xiao Gan is her relative, now that he is dead, his pressure is not only from the threat of the Wu Dynasty, but also from the court's accountability.
If Yelu Dashi really has no other ideas, it is impossible, no one is willing to die for others for no reason, especially for a dead person, then it is even less worthwhile.
The father and daughter looked at each other silently for a few breaths, and the gray-haired man sat down dejectedly, rubbing his face: "How to find a life? There is a Wu Dynasty in the south, and a woman in the east really fights over, and the cold in the north can freeze the flames, and the vast grassland in the west, there are barbarians of different sizes on the way, and it is not easy to really go over." ”
"Daddy, do you remember, the first little bow you made for Ruby when you were a child? Yelu Hongyu's originally angry expression stretched out, walked over, the nail leaf rattled a few times, squatted down on his father's side, and held the man's hand, "At that time, you said to Hongyu, we Khitan people are wolves, and the entire Khitan clan is a wolf pack, and the wolves are not afraid of any enemy, not afraid of any harsh environment, as long as there is a stutter and a place to live, we can thrive there....."
Now the daughter told her father that the Liao kingdom was almost gone, and that it was time to take away the young and vigorous wolves of the tribe and find another place to live, and then we would make a comeback. ”
The woman's words sounded softly in the tent, which seemed to impress the old general on the chair, he gritted his teeth, and his rough hand patted lightly on the back of his daughter's hand: "Hongyu, why are you not a man, why are you not a man!"
Yelu Dashi said softly, looking at her, the wind rolled up the curtain, and the moment the lights flickered, he nodded.
Late at night, in the barracks of the resentful army.
The four figures walked through the dark night, and walked quickly into the largest tent in the camp, and after the curtain fell, they saw Guo Yaoshi in the middle sitting there with a military uniform untaken off, wiping a portable knife, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was so serious that he was about to explode.
For a while, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, and Zhao Heshou who came in did not dare to speak casually.
"....Starting from the leader of Dong....to the rebellion of the other two leaders, in fact, Xiao Gan has never trusted us....." The white silk brushed along the blade, and the voice sounded at this moment: "Now that he is dead, I thought that pulling up those 50,000 soldiers and horses plus our own 8,000 resentful troops could gain the trust of Yelu Dashi, but now that I think about it, it is not worth it." ”
There was a sigh, causing the four people at the tent to look at each other, they didn't know what happened to their general when he went to Yelu Dashi, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
"One of their father and daughter sings in black, and the other sings in white, don't think that I, Pharmacist Guo, can't hear it, that old fox in Yelu Dashi is just trying to stabilize me, after all, someone must resist Xiao Gan's death. ”
Liu Shunren probably understood a little, his fists clenched and shook, "General, since they are not benevolent, what are we doing sitting here." Then, he put down his fist and stepped forward: "Anyway, Da Liao is almost gone, instead of tying up and dying together, let's find a way for our brothers." ”
Over there, the tall figure sitting in the shadow suddenly waved his hand and took a deep breath: "I once complained that the army had a bad reputation, I actively trained the army, and wanted to make a difference, whether it was fighting the Jurchen or the Wu Dynasty, I just wanted to prove to Xiao Gan and even the big people above that we are not slave soldiers, not human flesh walls, we can also fight." ”
Then, his voice gradually lowered to a roar: "..... now that the Jurchens are calling, the Liao Kingdom is gone." What kind of soldier am I still training, and I still prove a ball!"
Liu Shunren wanted to say something, but Zhang Linghui behind him patted him on the shoulder, and he came over and made a suggestion: "It's better to go to the Wu Dynasty, Tong Guan's soldiers can't do it, ours can, they can't fight, we can fight, if we can bring these 50,000 people with Zhuozhou..."
The other three around watched in silence, their hands clenched into fists, sweating.
"Good. ”
After a long time, under the lights, Pharmacist Guo responded simply, his expression flickered and darkened, his eyes raised a little, and he glanced over at the faces of the four generals, "When the people of the Wu Dynasty come to attack, let's adapt to the situation as a greeting gift." ”
He slashed with a steel knife, and the case was almost cut in half.
"We used to be people. ”
