Han Shizu

Chapter 84 Undercurrent in the Liao Camp

One after another, the ministers and generals of the Liao Kingdom in the imperial tent withdrew, and all of them breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then hurriedly dispersed, returning to their respective camps, conveying Yelu Deguang's will and carrying out his orders. .

Yelu Ruan did the same. He walked hundreds of paces before he looked up at the small crescent moon hanging high in the night sky, and let out a sullen breath.On the face of the national character with the thick beard, there is worry, his mind is full of the situation before the royal, and he feels the danger.

"Your Majesty!" While thinking about it, a figure stood beside Yelu Ruan and called.

The small voice made Yelu Ruan shudder.The visitor was obviously a Khitan general, about the same age as Yelu Ruan, and the face reflected by the fire was a little strange.This person's name is Yelu An Tuan, who was also in the tent just now. His father once supported Yelu Bei and secretly maintained a close relationship with Yelu Ruan.

"Anbo!" Yelu Ruan responded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hearing the question, Yelu An Tuan glanced in the direction of the imperial tent, and lowered his voice as he approached: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the situation, you have to prepare early!"

Hearing the words changed, Yelu Ruan also subconsciously looked at the brightly lit imperial tent, and then quickly carried Yelu An Tuan's sleeves towards the dark side, staring at him: "What do you mean?"

Seeing Yelu Ruan's performance, Yelu An Tuan secretly made up his mind, for fear that the Yongkang King would not respond.Making a normal appearance, Yelu An Tuan walked with Yelu Ruan, and whispered: "Since returning to the north, Your Majesty's temper has become more and more irritable, and if you are not satisfied, you will be severely punished, especially recently, you have been killed. Good servants and courtiers. The difference between this and His Majesty's usual performance is too obvious!"

"What the hell are you trying to say!" Yelu Ruan's face was already nervous.

Yelu An Tuan seemed to be more careful: "Your Majesty. This minister has secretly investigated. His Majesty has secretly summoned a few medical officials for the past few days. Judging from his performance, it seems that something is wrong with His Majesty's body."

"You are so courageous! You dare to secretly check the imperial tent, you will die!" Yelu Ruan suppressed his voice and gave him a stern look, probably because of the excessive force, his face swelled. Gotta be a little red.

Yelu An Tuan seemed very calm, and continued: "Your Majesty, can't you see the situation in the account just now? Your Majesty still harbors suspicion towards you! You are after all the son of the Great King Dongdan, and His Majesty How can you treat each other sincerely. If you don't take precautions, I'm afraid your life will be lost sooner or later!"

Hearing his words, Yelu Ruan subconsciously clenched his fists and glanced at him with a frown. He didn't say anything, his face was thoughtful, looking calm, but his heavy breathing betrayed his nervousness.

After being silent for a long time, Yelu Ruan finally spoke up, and solemnly warned, "Don't say such rebellious words again, otherwise, I will not be able to keep you."

"Your Majesty—"

Without giving Yelu An Tuan a chance to continue speaking, Yelu Ruan gave him a stern look.After walking a few more steps, he lowered his voice and said, "Right now, protecting yourself is the most important thing. Don't act rashly. You, find a chance to meet Yelu Jieli and comfort him for me."

"Yes!" Yelu An Tuan was not stupid. Hearing this, his brows became happy, and he immediately replied, "I understand. Please rest assured."

Separating from Yelu An Tuan, Yelu Ruan's expression became even more gloomy, obviously thinking about his words, hesitating between his brows.Yelu Ruan is also considered to be a well-known person. He is generous inside and strict outside, and he is quite popular. In addition to the noble origin of the Khitan and the problems left over from history, how could he have no idea in his heart.

Yelu Deguang's eyes appeared in his mind just now, Yelu Ruan couldn't help shivering, and felt a sense of urgency in his heart.However, in the current army, Yelu Deguang is still the emperor who can decide the death of all people with one word. If there is no accident, he will not dare to change.

As Yelu An Tuan said, make preparations early, as long as Yelu Deguang is in one day, what is the use of making more preparations?Yelu Ruan's mind is still very clear.
Yelu Deguang was obviously coming for real. According to the order, he slowed down the marching team and carried out slashing.Under the threat of life, the efficiency of moving to the north has been greatly improved, but the price is that, along the way, countless corpses have been added.

Under such high pressure, even those Khitan soldiers complained.In less than three days, the army moved hundreds of miles to the territory of Zhenzhou, on the side of Luan City on the edge of the Huan River, and just stopped and set up camp.

This time, Yelu Deguang's body couldn't bear it anymore, and the news of his illness spread.

In the imperial camp, Yelu Deguang was paralyzed leaning on the Hu couch, with "ice packs" placed on his head and chest, absorbing the heat. From time to time, he ordered people to change it. This approach seemed to relieve the dryness in his body. .

Beside the couch, Yelu Ruan and others were waiting and reporting the situation.

"Where is Liu Jiazi's Han army now, and is still behind?" Yelu Deguang's voice was full of anger.

"According to the report from the scouts, the enemy army has entered the territory of Zhaozhou and is staying in Zhaoqing County. The purpose is unknown!" Yelu Ruan carefully observed Yelu Deguang and replied, "Your Majesty, the other party is overly capable, and has been following along with his ministers. In the meantime, simply send heavy troops back south and wipe them out completely, so as to avoid this troublesome scourge."

The "ice bag" covered Yelu Deguang's eyes, so he couldn't see his expression. He seemed to think for a while before asking, "Who do you think is suitable to lead the army?"

Hearing the question, Yelu Ruan suddenly regained his senses, buried his head a little lower, did not dare to show any strangeness, and said calmly, "My minister, I am willing to go."

Taking the "ice pack" off his forehead, Yelu Deguang turned his head to the side, looked at Yelu Ruan with his hazy eyes, blinked slowly a few times, and waved his hand: "Forget it, Liu's child, there are not ten thousand soldiers, It's nothing to worry about. He walked away and kept such a long distance from our army. I'm afraid he's afraid of our army's attack. It's important to go back to Beijing now that he's in Zhenzhou. Just ignore him!"

"Yes!" Yelu Ruan replied calmly, not in a hurry, and looked very submissive.

Looking back from Yelu Ruan, Yelu Deguang put the "ice pack" on his forehead and continued to absorb the heat, and continued to ask, "What news has come from Kaifeng, what's the situation at Uncle Guo, where is Liu Zhiyuan?"

"Go back to Your Majesty!" This time it was Zhang Li who spoke up: "The pseudo-emperor led his army south and has not yet entered the land of Heluo. Uncle Guo sent someone to report, in order to prevent the Hedong Army, he has been ordered by you, Li Tang Mingzong's youngest son Huan The Duke Li Congyi became the emperor and rebuilt the Tang kingdom. In the name of Li Tang, he gathered troops and horses to fight against Liu Zhiyuan."

"I'm afraid that, I still can't resist Liu Zhiyuan!" Yelu Deguang didn't look very optimistic.

"Even if it can't be resisted, it's enough to cause trouble for Liu Zhiyuan and prevent him from easily occupying the Central Plains!" Zhang Li replied.

Exhaling a scorching breath, Yelu Deguang touched his dazed head, and suddenly changed the subject: "After shrinking the force, now in Hebei Zhongzhou, the heart of anti-Zen is rising day by day."

No one dared to answer this, for fear of angering Yelu Deguang.It is said that tigers are the most dangerous when they are injured. At this time, Emperor Liao, in this state, will be angry if touched.

Seeing his servant's reaction, Yelu Deguang also understood that, enduring the unbearable heat in his body, he let out a long sigh: "When I crossed Liyang, I said that there were three losses in this southern expedition. Wealth, don’t send all the Jiedu back to the town. Now it seems that we have to add one more, the act of angering the massacre of the city”
