Han Shizu

Chapter 87
The Liao camp stretched for more than ten miles along the direction of the river, and was stationed between the cities.In addition to the hundreds of thousands of Hu and Han cavalry troops, there are tens of thousands of "non-staff" personnel, Jin officials, family members, peasant husbands, and coolies. In terms of numbers alone, there are 200,000. If doubled, it can be called a "400,000 army" .

Since returning to the north, apart from crossing the big river and attacking Anyang, Luancheng has been the longest stay.Up and down, they were all immersed in a restlessness. Within the Khitan people, the confrontation between the various armies and ministries, due to the contradictions at the upper levels, gradually became violent, and the conflict became more and more serious.

The soldiers in the army and Ding Zhuang became panic-stricken. There was uneasiness in the mirth, and hope was found in the despair.

In the previous episode, the Yan soldiers who followed Yelu Deguang to fight south, probably numbered more than [-] on foot and cavalry. In addition to the casualties in previous battles and the military strength of each state, there were still nearly [-] troops with them. In the army, it is also an independent and important force that cannot be ignored.

They were not arranged together, but based on the fact that there were thousands of soldiers in the Sanyan Camp, and the camp was very rudimentary. It was built on a temporary basis in the two days after Yelu Deguang died. It was obvious that he was making preparations.

In the military tent, Zhao Yanshou, dressed in a brocade robe, was sitting on the main seat, discussing with a group of Youyan Han army generals, how to deal with the changes at this time.These Yan soldiers, who are usually sceptical and ostracized, are inferior to others. In such a sensitive situation, they can only warm up in a group.

The atmosphere was very depressing, and during the discussion, the voice did not dare to be too loud.The generals expressed their thoughts and made suggestions for Zhao Yanshou's reference, but His Royal Highness Yan Wang seemed to be a little careless and didn't seem to listen carefully.

The composition of the Yan army is equally complex. There are hardcore traitors, noble families in Yan, relics of the Jin state, and righteous generals who have their hearts on China.

Zhao Yanshou was actually quite clear about this, he looked around and sighed slightly in his heart.He knows that it is easy to get these people together, but it is difficult to integrate and conspire together.He Zhao, although he has some fame, he has not yet reached the point where he has a lot of responses.

"That's it!" Zhao Yanshou suddenly raised his head, waved his hand in a moody mood, and said, "The most important thing right now is to organize the brothers. Humiliation, the same goes for the Khitans. Also, keep in touch with the other two battalions and advance and retreat with us.”

"I have been attached to the Khitan in the north for many years, and I know that there are many internal conflicts in the Khitan. The death of Emperor Liao will inevitably inspire and implicate us. Since ancient times, the struggle for power has been cruel and fierce. In the past two days, the battle for the imperial camp has already been seen. I wait. This is a person from the southern country, and there are also elite soldiers and strong generals, it is difficult to stay out of it!"

Zhao Yanshou's face was pale, with wrinkles covering his face, and he said solemnly: "If the current situation is like this, the safety and security are difficult to determine. We can only work together and help each other to overcome the difficulties!"

Some frank remarks were still somewhat effective, and all the Yan Bing generals present agreed.

Zhao Yanshou breathed a sigh of relief, and just when he showed some relief, he was startled by the sudden movement outside the camp.

"King Yan, it's not good!" The confidant Ya Jiang rushed in, looking horrified: "There are Khitan cavalry outside the camp, we are surrounded!"

Hearing that, his expression changed, completely unexpected, Zhao Yanshou could only forcibly suppress his surprise, appease the general, and lead the crowd out to check the situation.Without showing any fear, he did not feel that under such circumstances, the Khitans would start civil strife and attack them.

As reported by the generals, a large number of Khitan cavalry had already run away from the periphery, and the camp stood against the water and was threatened from three sides.The mid-level and upper-level officers were all concentrated in the tent to discuss matters, and there was no one to lead them.

When Zhao Yanshou brought people out of the tent, he saw that thousands of Khitan cavalrymen had already rushed in from the camp gate, very arrogant, and some soldiers who could not escape were directly killed.

"General Yelu came with the army, such a big battle, forcibly broke into the camp wall, why is this, you are not afraid of provoking a mutiny?" Looking at the Khitan general who came galloping, Zhao Yanshou watched coldly. He has a strong tone, not very cowardly.

At this time, the surrounding Yan Bing sergeants had already reacted and began to fight in formation, but they had nothing to do with the Khitan army that broke into the camp, it was just a subconscious self-protection behavior.

The leading Khitan general was Yelu Jieli, who was previously sent by Yelu Deguang to raise horses. When Yelu Deguang died, he was directly activated by Yelu Ruan and regained military power.

Riding on the high-headed horse, Yelu Jieli pressed forward and scorned Zhao Yanshou: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a change in the Yanying camp, I would have come to take over the Yanying camp on the order of King Yongkang, and coordinate the deployment in case of an accident!"

"The general is joking!" Zhao Yanshou's face was ugly.

"Whether you're joking, King Yan knows in his heart. You have been relieved of military power by Your Majesty, why are you here?" Yelu Jieli's tone became even more contemptuous, and his eyes swept to the Yan army generals behind Zhao Yanshou: "Also called What is the purpose of these generals?"

As soon as these words fell, not only Zhao Yanshou, but other Yanjun military academies changed their expressions, with fear and fear in their eyes.

Staring at their reactions, Yelu Jieli straightened his waist, raised his head, looked around, and said in a loud voice, "I will be here under orders, do you still have any questions?"

"Your Majesty, Yan Ying has been brought under control!" Yelu An Tuan reported to Yelu Ruan on the side of the Liao Army's imperial camp.

"Isn't there any resistance?" Yelu Ruangang asked with a serious expression after returning from the camp tour.

"Don't worry, the three Yan camps were blocked, we suddenly launched, and easily controlled them!" Yelu An Tuan replied.

Yelu Ruan: "Where's Zhao Yanshou?"

"Has been placed under house arrest! Yelu An Tuan's face showed a trace of disdain: "This person secretly summoned Yan Bing to the colonel, obviously his plans are not good, he really does not know whether to live or die. "

Yelu Ruan heaved a sigh of relief, and took the lead to look at the imperial camp, and said solemnly as he walked, "It can't go on like this!"

"Are you worried about the generals who are loyal to the late emperor? Now that the Yan Bing is under control, will they be dealt with next?"

Yelu Ruan shook his head: "It's all Khitan talents, the general situation is up to me, and they will compromise sooner or later. I visited each battalion, and the army's morale was disorganized, morale was low, and there were frequent fights. It was a mess. Strictly rectify, stabilize as soon as possible, put things right, and return to the country, otherwise, sooner or later, there will be a big mess!"

"By the way, where's the Dragon Qi Army in Zhaozhou?" Yelu Ruan asked suddenly.

Yelu Antuan replied nonchalantly: "It seems that they have already withdrawn, and the other party probably won't dare to go further alone."

"Yeah." Yelu Ruan replied.

With a sigh, Yelu Ruan instructed: "Let Chacute, Shuogu and the generals and ministers come to see me at the imperial camp!"
