Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 659 Will meet a good talent
Luo Youdu has a clear understanding of Yelu Xiezhen's mind, in fact he is the same as most people.

Faced with the biggest choice in life, you will hesitate and fall into confusion.

Is Yelu Xiezhen afraid of death?
Luo Youdu personally thinks that a person like him should not be afraid of death.

But if you ask him, is he willing to die?

The answer is yes, absolutely not reconciled.

The stronger a person is, the more arrogant he is, and the more he wants to leave his mark on this world.

Yelu Xiezhen had just earned his reputation in Khitan, and hadn't really proved himself on the battlefield, so he died like this.When the name Yelu Xiezhen was mentioned in later generations, it was at most that the Khitan was careful, and Zhongfu was captured by Yang Ye and died for the country.

This is definitely not what Yelu Xiezhen wants.

But if Yelu Xiezhen surrendered directly, he couldn't save his face.

Who doesn't cherish their wings?Except for a very few people, who would want to be called a traitor?
Therefore, Yelu Xiezhen could only say nothing.

When Yelu Bishe surrendered, or Khitan perished directly, and Yelu Xiezhen went down the donkey along the slope, no one would slander him.

Therefore, Luo Youdu is not in a hurry for him, just treat him with good food and drink.

"It's a pity, if there is no brother Yeluxiu, if you capture the Shuangbi of the Liao Kingdom. If this is the case, the battle will be half won."

Luo Youdu sighed, feeling like he lacked something.

This is a bit like Versailles. You must know that this battle of Khitan lost the Khitan's No. 2 king Yelu Talie and the future temple minister Han Derang, and the future military leader Yelu Xiezhen was also captured alive.As for the more than [-] elites, as well as generals, large and small, they don't know how many of them are there.

For Khitan, who was already inferior in strength, it was undoubtedly a sword in the chest.

Seeing that Luo Youdu was still not satisfied, Fu Yanqing was a little speechless, and said, "Now we will see what Cao Tongjun can gain."

Luo Youdu nodded, Cao Bin's troops were located on the west side of Dading Mansion, and they retreated in a different way.

Therefore, his mission was to lie in wait and attack their forts while the Khitan army was chasing them southward. How many forts could be broken, laying a solid foundation for them to counterattack Dading Mansion.

Little did they know that Cao Bin and Brother Yeluxiu, whom the two were talking about, were now engaged in a battle of wits and courage.

Yinliang River, at the northern foot of Mayu Mountain.

Brother Yeluxiu was resting by the river, and eight thousand soldiers were scattered by the river, either resting or letting their horses go.

Brother Yeluxiu stood upright, looking at the map in his hand, his brows were furrowed.

"Somewhat something is wrong."

After several battles, Brother Yeluxiu had a deep understanding of Cao Bin's military talent. Although he also wanted to participate in the pursuit of the Southern Central Plains, his intuition told him that if Cao Bin was left alone on their west side, they would pay a heavy price. the price.

Brother Yeluxiu is humble, he gave others the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and blocked Cao Bin by himself, taking over this difficult job.

According to normal assumptions, Cao Bin should retreat.

After all, the food and grass camp behind them was attacked, and the Central Plains army retreated.

Cao Bin's stay is just a lone army, and it doesn't make any sense.

Cao Bin did retreat again, but Brother Yeluxiu always felt that he was tempting himself, and his retreat was not so thorough.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party is worried about retreating too quickly, resulting in exhaustion of physical strength and being taken advantage of by them.

Brother Yeluxiu kept probing, trying to figure out Cao Bin's intentions through his every move.

The two sides continued to pull, you advance and the other retreats, from the Qiding Mountain near Dadingfu to the northern foot of the current shady Hemayu Mountain, the two pulled more than 150 miles.

The more Yeluxiu chased, the more he felt that something was wrong. An ominous premonition emerged in his heart, and he thought to himself: "Cao Bin is already a hundred miles away from the territory of Dading Mansion, and he can't threaten Dading Mansion. It's better to retreat."

"Marshal Yelu, Cao Bin's envoy is asking to see you outside, and they say they want to talk to Marshal!"

Jin Yingjun strode to Yeluxiu's side and told him an unexpected news.

Brother Yeluxiu put away the map in his hand and said, "How many people are there?"

Jin Yingjun said: "Only one person came, but the other party said that each other will bring ten people, about one mile away by the river."

Brother Yeluxiu smiled and said, "In that case, go and tell him, we will bring ten people with us, and I look forward to meeting him."

Jin Yingjun worried: "Will there be fraud?"

"Go!" Brother Yeluxiu's face darkened.

Jin Yingjun didn't dare to say any more, and left in a hurry.

Brother Yeluxiu waved his hand to call for the lieutenant general Tar Buyan and said: "Gather the troops and prepare to retreat."

Tart Buyan was nearby, and he was a little surprised when he heard that Brother Yeluxiu was about to go to the appointment.

Brother Yeluxiu said in a deep voice: "I had doubts before, and now Cao Bin's invitation is more like delaying time in my opinion. He also knows that he can't continue to hide it, so he uses this method to delay our army. There must be something wrong with Dading Mansion, we must go back as soon as possible."

Tart Buyan said: "Then the commander-in-chief still intends to attend the appointment?"

Brother Yeluxiu said: "Of course, he can delay the time, so can someone. After I leave the camp, you immediately arrange to retreat."

Tart Buyan looked horrified: "Master!"

Brother Yeluxiu smiled calmly: "It's okay, I've heard for a long time that Cao Guohua has a gentleman's style, he will keep his words and act accordingly. He invites you on his own initiative, but he doesn't know how to play tricks."

Brother Yeluxiu got ready, Fang had just left the camp for more than [-] steps when he saw ten people approaching slowly from the opposite side.

Handsome Jin nervously guarded Yeluxiu's side.

Brother Yeluxiu waved his hand and told him to step back. He squinted his eyes and looked at it. The sun was dazzling, and his heart shivered slightly. He said in a low voice, "What a Cao Guohua."

He had already seen clearly that the person who came was Cao Bin, whom he had known for a long time.

Seeing the other party come a hundred paces away, Brother Yeluxiu shouted loudly: "Didn't we make an appointment to meet one mile away? Why is Cao Tongjun so anxious?"

Cao Bin asked the guards behind him to stand by, stepped forward and stopped fifty paces away, and said, "I'm afraid your soldiers and horses will be gone long ago when the Commander-in-Chief envoy arrives."

Brother Yeluxiu also stopped the guards behind him, and rode forward one by one, looking carefully at Cao Bin's whole body, as if he was looking for something.

However, Cao Bin understood and said: "Don't look for the military envoy, the fetish is too huge, how can you carry it with you? If you really want to see it, it is better for the commanding officer to choose a tree to rest and enter our great danger. Bin presents it with a fetish, Helping the commanding army envoys to fight on the battlefield, to spread the name of the world.”

Brother Yeluxiu shook his head and said: "Tongjun Cao lied to me. Although Brother Xiu doesn't know what the fetish is, he can guess that it is light and convenient and can be carried around. It doesn't matter, you and I have the same culture, and the things you can create will sooner or later come to my Khitan." will have."

Cao Bin said: "I'm afraid that before that time, the commander of the army will not think that your surprise attack army has really worked! My Majesty uses troops like a god, and he has seen through your tricks. It is just retreating on purpose to lure you into the game. "

At this time, he is not afraid to tell the truth.

His initial mission was to surprise the fort, but with Yeluxiu's caution, the plan was aborted.

Cao Bin immediately changed his tactics and set his target on Brother Yeluxiu. He wanted to lure Brother Yeluxiu away from Dading Mansion, and then let Luo Youdu, who had returned to Dading Mansion, send troops to cut off Brother Yeluxiu's retreat, and kill Yeluxiu. Brother Hugh was sleepy.

But the idea is good, but Yeluxiu, as one of the best generals of this era, is not easily fooled.

The two racked their brains to fight.

After chasing to the northern foot of Mayu Mountain, Cao Bin found that he had aroused the opponent's suspicion, so he continued to offer bait. The opponent probably gave up the bait and walked away. It was a showdown, and he directly attacked his heart, which made Yeluxiu lose his fighting spirit.

Brother Yeluxiu looked at the other party saying the most terrifying things calmly, his heart sank slightly, and he said, "Tongjun Cao really treats me like a three-year-old child."

Cao Bin dropped the chess piece and said, "You train the navy in the upper reaches of the Hun River, do you really think you can hide it from the world?"

Brother Yeluxiu had no doubts anymore, even if the Central Plains judged through their surprise attack army that they came by water, how could they know that their navy was hiding in the upper reaches of the Hun River if they hadn't seen it beforehand?
He clasped his fists in confusion and said: "Tianzi Luo is very calculating, Brother Yeluxiu admires him, so I leave."

He knew that Cao Bin's army must be on the way, and he was even more disturbed if he continued to stay.

Dading Mansion doesn't know what's going on, so they won't retreat at this moment, fearing that they won't be able to retreat later.

Cao Bin didn't chase after him, but watched him go away.

They all understand what the other party wants to do, and any retention will be invalid.

Seeing that Brother Yeluxiu had already joined the troops, he took out the binoculars hidden in his back waist and looked at the enemy camp seriously.

Brother Yeluxiu has strict military discipline, and his soldiers are not as loose as the Khitan soldiers, but have the execution ability no less than that of the Central Plains soldiers. Before the imperial cavalry arrived, they had gathered their free-range horses and retreated slowly.

Cao Bin couldn't help but feel emotional after seeing it: "This brother Yeluxiu is quite like Zhou Yafu."

Brother Yeluxiu loudly issued various orders, and finally he called Tar Buyan, saying: "The soldiers from the Central Plains are approaching in no time, I need a rear guard."

Tart Buyan beat his chest with his hands, and said: "Tat Buyan has no regrets if he can die for the commander in chief."

Brother Yeluxiu calmly took out the map from his pocket and said, "Go here first..."

Pointing to Qingniu Hill twenty miles away, he said, "Stand by here. Remember to turn your back to Mount Ma Yu to form an array. I will lead the army to pass in front of your formation. If Cao Bin ignores you, you can directly Cut off their pursuit. If he comes towards you, delay for half an hour."

Tart Buyan said in a high voice: "Design!"

Brother Yeluxiu pursed his lips, punched Tart Buyan twice in the chest, and said, "Come back alive!"

Tart Buyan grinned.

When Brother Yeluxiu retreated, he could already see the dust rising behind him.

Brother Yeluxiu arrived at Qingniu Hill, looked at Ta Buyan who had already lined up, and raised his arm holding that side.

Tart Buyan watched Yeluxiu leave with a solemn face, and looked at the Central Plains soldiers not far away, with a trace of madness in his eyes.

When Cao Bin found out that he was not good enough, he had mixed feelings in his heart. It was a pity, but also a little bit of joy. A thought came to his mind, there is no regret in this life to have such a formidable opponent!

Cao Bin is full of confidence in this battle, he is very sure to inflict heavy damage on Brother Yeluxiu.Because he occupies the right time, place and people, he occupies the third place, and there is no reason to lose.

With the right time and place, he deliberately chose the afternoon to have a showdown with Brother Yeluxiu.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which is the law of nature.

Now is the time of the year when the sun is at its strongest, and the strong light can blind people's eyes.

Cao Bin is located in the west, while Brother Yeluxiu is located in the east.

Cao Bin had his back to the sun, while Brother Yeluxiu faced the afternoon sun.

Harmony between people is naturally the general trend of Luo Youdu's strategy.

In the face of major events, Brother Yeluxiu was doomed that he would not dare to fight, could not fight, and could only run away blindly.

The environment of each other is not the same.

However, it was this tiny detail that Brother Yeluxiu actually noticed. He noticed the threat posed by the sun.

In advance, let the rear army stand by in the south against the back of Mayu Mountain, and block them in places where the sun can't reach, so that Cao Bin's favorable timing and location turned into nothingness.

Cao Bin's thoughts turned, and he pointed at Tan Buyan and said, "Leave him!"

With Tar Buyan's interference, Cao Bin knew that he had no hope of chasing Brother Yeluxiu, so it would be better to eat all of Tar Buyan's [-] rear troops instead of forcing him.

Brother Yeluxiu looked back, his eyes were completely white, he hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, and just now he could see the scene clearly, when the dust in the distance gradually receded, he yelled unwillingly: If Cao Bin has a big heart and divides his troops to chase after him, tart Buyan may have a chance, but now the chance is slim...

With such an opponent, Brother Yeluxiu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, but he was more unwilling.He has played against Cao Bin many times. Generally speaking, he is on the disadvantaged side and has been restrained many times.

He didn't think he was inferior to Cao Bin, but the fact was that he didn't have a decent result against Cao Bin.

It's just because Cao Bin's back is Dayu, and he is Khitan.

Going all the way to the east, when he arrived at the fort, he had already felt the depressing breath on the surrounding soldiers.

There can be no doubt that word of the great defeat in the south has spread throughout the army.

The Khitan has repeatedly suffered losses, and even lost the Prime Minister of the Nanfu Yelusha, and the morale is not high.

In order to boost morale, when they went south to pursue, they had passed the victory to the three armies to boost morale.

As a result, there was a big oolong, and everything was planned by the Central Plains.

Not only did they not win a big victory, but they experienced a big defeat.

One ebbs and another, the morale that was not high at first became even more serious.

Brother Yeluxiu ignored the defenders of Baowu and rode directly into the city.

The general in charge of defending the city was called Yelu Allie. He had followed Brother Yeluxiu to attack Khitan in the Clouds. He was able to become the general guarding the city of Dading Mansion because he defeated Yelu Dilie with Brother Yeluxiu and got promoted.

"Big guy!"

Yelu Allie saw Brother Yeluxiu from a distance, and greeted him personally at the gate of the city, leading the horse for him.

Brother Yeluxiu hurriedly got off his horse and asked, "How is the situation in the south?"

Yelu Allie said dejectedly: "It's too miserable. Of the [-] chasing soldiers, only [-] have returned. The king of the North Court has been confirmed dead in battle, and it is said that he has been captured alive by the Southern Dynasty. There is no news from the generals..."

Brother Yeluxiu's face turned pale when he heard the words, even Yelu Talie and Yelu Xiezhen did not escape the ambush, their losses this time can be imagined.

"And..." Yelu Allie hesitated to speak.

Brother Yeluxiu said in a deep voice, "What else?"

Yelu Allie said softly, "I heard that Yu Yue has gone too."

　Thank you, book friend, for waiting for my [-] rewards for my miraculous accomplishment!
