Han Shizu

Chapter 1331 False
In the evening, the autumn sun hangs low in the west, and the light it emits is very dim. The cool wind blows through the mountains outside the city in the cloud, and the sounds are like whispers, ethereal and desolate.

Cloud City is still the same as it used to be, tall and solid, clean and intact. Apart from the gloomy atmosphere in the city, the Liao Army did not cause any trauma to it.After the Liao army approached the city, they did not launch any attack, not even a tentative attack.

The encirclement of the Liao army was no longer as tight as it was at the beginning. After the troops were divided, they also took the initiative to retreat, setting up camps far away from the city, and divided into two directions: west and north.However, the tight patrols of the surrounding rangers obviously still control the internal and external traffic and prevent the transmission of information.

The layout of the camps of the Liao army is not like the habit of the Han army with deep trenches, high fortifications, and iron-walled camps. On the contrary, the layout is open and scattered, seemingly scattered, but they are ready to mount their horses and fight at any time.

The unavoidable chaos is the large number of livestock accompanying the army, plus a large amount of spoils, weapons, money and food captured after going south.

Among the big camps, the one with the strictest layout and the most orderly military appearance is undoubtedly the imperial camp of the Liao Emperor. No matter when and where, the pro-army guarding the palace tent is the Liao Emperor's strongest combat power, the best equipment and the best equipment. A trusted army.

As the sky darkened, bonfires were set up in each battalion of the Liao Army. Looking from Yunzhong City, one could see stars and stars densely covering the west and north sides. The bright lights could almost reflect the sky red, which looked very Spectacular, it seems to also show the might of the Liao army.

Of course, this kind of momentum is nothing to the generals of the Han army who are used to seeing big scenes. The reaction in the city is like a guarded city, as stable as Mount Tai.

The soldiers of the Liao army began to enjoy food. Generals and officers can enjoy some captured Handi spirits, and ordinary soldiers can also have a hearty meal of meat.This is already a rare thing for the soldiers of the Liao army who were increasingly struggling.

Gold and silver goods are not enough to be called expensive. What is worth gratifying is the captured livestock and food. Many Liao soldiers who participated in the conscripts hoped to bring them back to the tribe and share them with their families and soldiers.

The continuous war has seriously violated the normal nomadic production of the grassland, and it is necessary to take part in the war with armed forces and send troops to provide food. Up to now, the tribes of the Liao Kingdom in the north and south of the desert, and many ethnic groups and villages, have reached the point where it is difficult to sustain.

In fact, many of the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom who were recruited this time were not fighting for the Liao court or the emperor, but had the intention of going south to plunder.

They don't have much family and country feelings, and they don't care about the hegemony between Han and Liao. What they want is the most basic survival, even though their current poverty and crisis come from the war initiated by the big man.

The Southern Dynasties were rich and prosperous, and the Han people were good at farming. They just learned from countless ancestors in the past on the grassland, reinvigorated their instincts, carried their knives with them, and leaped southward.

In fact, in terms of motivating morale, Ye Luxian also fought against the oppression of the Han army and strived for living space by promoting looting, grabbing food and clothing, and grabbing all supplies that could help them survive the difficult times.
The soldiers of the Liao army who accompanied them were indeed greatly encouraged, and they actively participated in the battle and fought hard to the death.The harvest after coming to the south also made the morale that was not so high gradually rise, and the spoils piled up in the camp seemed to prove the correctness of this trip to the south.

However, compared to the joy and encouragement of the soldiers, Liao Emperor Yeluxian was always worried and couldn't let go.In the Liao army camp under the night, the sounds of the wind and animals were mixed with the laughter of the various army battalions, and even grassland folk songs were fluttering.

Ye Luxian, as the coach, was really unwilling to break this pleasant atmosphere. Since the battle between Han and Liao, Daliao always failed, and the soldiers and soldiers had not enjoyed the joy of victory so indulgently for a long time.

It's just that the soldiers below can be immersed in it, but he, the lord of the Daliao and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, can't. Now he has "deepened" into the Han territory. He shouted firmly and loudly, but Ye Luxian still felt uneasy in his heart.

Only when he is alone, Ye Luxian will show his anxiety. Up to now, Liaodong has fallen, the Northeast is in chaos, the Western Regions have been lost, and Mobei is incomplete. His Daliao can no longer withstand more failures and more There was a big shock, and Ye Luxian couldn't help being careless.

In front of the palace tent, Yeluxian's bearded fur and sable hat stood upright in the cold wind, without any waves in his eyes, but he looked straight south, staring at the direction of Yunzhong City.

It is difficult for Yeluxian to understand what Yelujing looked back when he gave up Yunzhong, but after more than ten years, when the Liao army came again, Yeluxian only had melancholy and loss that could not be reached.He also knew in his heart that since the city in the distance changed its surname to Liu and Han, the traces that originally belonged to them Daliao and Khitan will only become weaker and weaker until they completely dissipate and are only recorded in the annals of history.

It has been eight days since Bing Lin Yunzhong, but during these eight days, Ye Luxian's mood is constantly sinking, even if there are continuous gains and good news from all directions, it can't cover the worry that has always been lingering in his heart.

Yeluxian felt an inexplicable pressure from the impenetrable Yunzhongcheng, which showed no flaws, and the response of the still hazy Han army surrounding the Yunzhongcheng. The feeling is much deeper.

"His Majesty!"

The soft call was a bit gentle, but it still brought Yeluxian back to God, and when he turned his head, it was Han Derang.Probably because the cold wind was blowing too much, Ye Luxian shivered and coughed twice, with a slightly pale smile on his face: "Han Qing, you are here!"

"It's windy outside the tent, don't blow it too much, Your Majesty should take care of yourself!" Han Derang persuaded.

Feeling Han Derang's concern, Ye Luxian also listened to the persuasion, and invited Handerang to join the account to talk about it.After sitting down, the waiter served hot wine for the two, and the monarch and his ministers shared it.

Probably also knew the reason for Han Derang's visit, Ye Luxian looked at him: "Han Qing, what are the thoughts of the nobles and generals, have you found any results?"

"The morale is high, and the morale of the army is available!" Han Derang replied, but his expression was serious instead: "The people in the Han Dynasty either escaped into the mountains, or hid in the city, and there is nothing to plunder in the countryside!

The military discipline of the pro-army is good, and His Majesty's edict will follow, but the recruited soldiers are not. They are not willing to stop here. middle!There are also some generals who think that the soldiers who looted everywhere should be called and replaced."

The current mentality of many Liao troops is to stay more in Han territory and grab more supplies.With the harvest in Monan and Shanyang, the desire is completely drawn out.Even an ordinary soldier knows that more goods, money, food, and armor of the Han people are hoarded in those cities, and if they want to gain more, they have to break the city.

The Huairen and Changqing counties that have already been breached have gained a lot. Then such a city in the cloud is right in front of them. If it is breached, how rich will it be?
Desire for profit is blinding their eyes, and many people don't think about it any more. They don't have to think about the solidity in the cloud, the rescue of the Han army, and the crisis before it is approaching.Furthermore, they are all cavalry, so they can go!
However, Ye Luxian and Handerang obviously didn't think so, and they had to keep a clear head.

"What do Han Qing think?" Ye Luxian asked Han Derang in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Han Derang's attitude was very firm: "The subject is still the previous opinion, restrain the soldiers, evacuate as soon as possible, and return to Saibei! The cloud is not a place to stay for a long time!"

"The reinforcements from the Han army are not yet approaching. Is it necessary to be so eager?" Yeluxian asked.Han Derang had already proposed to withdraw his troops three days ago.

Han Derang's expression was solemn, and he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, because of this, the minister feels worried! When our army first came, we took advantage of the new defeat of the Han army and the emptiness of the mountains, so we marched high and straight to the clouds!

However, more than [-] days have passed, no matter how slow the Han army is, they should respond.Your Majesty should know that the strength of the Han army is by no means limited to this, relying on the river east in the south and occupying Yanshan in the east, our army took advantage of the emptiness and made achievements, but we can't stay here for a long time!
Such a long time is enough for the Han army to react and send reinforcements, but up to now, there has been no sign of a large group of troops coming to help. The cities of Shanyang are still closing their doors, which is not normal anymore.

The Han army in the cloud didn't move at all, and didn't even send anyone to try to break out of the siege. They just shrank their heads and fortified the city, full of patience, as if they were waiting for the opportunity to attack!
Your Majesty, this trip to the south, our army has gained enough, we must not be greedy for more, otherwise, we may fall into an irreversible crisis! "
