The rise of the prince

Chapter 362
In the big tent, the carpet was covered with gold silk embroidered patterns, and the flames flickered on the hexagonal gold and jade candlesticks. Yelu Shulie knelt in front of the desk, reading the Jurchen War Book.

He sneered at the corner of his mouth, 2 Jurchens dared to compete with his eagle on the grassland. Back then, the Mongols and Jurchens only dared to succumb to the Daliao, but now they dare to jump up and offend the tiger!
He will definitely make these jumping clowns regret it!
The autumn rain was pattering outside the house, when the soldiers came in and whispered something in his ear, Yelu Shulie nodded, the soldiers went out, after a while, another soldier came in.

This soldier was the one he placed next to Yelu Dashi, the great king of the Southern Courtyard.

The King of the South Court and the King of the North Court have his people around him.

"What's the matter?" Yelu Shulie asked.

The soldier whispered: "Khan, Han Derang has entered the king's tent in the South Yard."

Han Derang!
Upon hearing these three words, Yelu Shulie stood up instantly, his face became ugly: "What did they say?"

"Villains are not allowed to enter, they can only watch from outside the big tent, but they talked for half an hour. Han Derang deliberately covered his face when he went in and out, but I can recognize it, it is absolutely true, and now King Yelu is going to the big tent Come here."

Yelu Shulie's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Yelu Dashi, he actually conspired with that fellow Han Derang!" As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the big tent, breathing more and more heavily, and then ordered loudly: "Come here, pass on my order!" !"

It was raining continuously, Yelu Dashi put on his cloak, and rode a horse. His personal guard led the horse for him, but he walked slowly because he was still thinking about how to talk to Khan.

Not only Khan, but even the generals in the army generally believe that Daliao will win. His proposal to withdraw the army for eighty miles at this time will inevitably lead to controversy and dissatisfaction.

Indeed, if they fought the Jurchen directly here, their superiority in numbers would not be able to be brought into play at all.

They confronted the Jurchen and set up camp with Liao Baixi as the boundary. The middle and south sides were open, but there were mountains blocking them in the north.

Fortunately, as long as he doesn't mention Han Gong, Khan will not know that it is Han Gong's idea. He is the king of the South Court, and his words have weight.

Yelu Dashi walked while thinking, in short, he still had six or seven certainties in his heart, the drizzle was slightly cold, but he didn't notice it.

This battle is related to the national destiny of the Liao Kingdom. If this battle is defeated, Zhongjing will be lost, and if Zhongjing is not guaranteed, Shangjing will also be in jeopardy.

Before, he also thought that he would win, but it was not until Han Gong mentioned it that he realized the danger later.

Fortunately, Han Gong was there, Yelu Dashi just thought so, when he looked up, the golden tent of the Chinese army was only a hundred steps away, and he could arrive in a blink of an eye.

Then I saw two groups of people approaching, the eunuchs next to Khan dressed in red brocade in front of them, there were six people in total, and they didn't care if their luxurious clothes were stained by mud, it's not easy to bring women in the army, these eunuchs It is responsible for Khan's daily necessities.

Behind them were twenty beast-faced armored men, and the leading eunuch stepped forward, then showed the imperial decree, and then handed it to him: "Tongtian and Tiansheng Yelushulie Khan, the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses has an order, please read it yourself. "

Yelu Dashi frowned, surprised in his heart, Khan gave him an imperial edict at this time?A hundred steps away, what can't be said to use the imperial decree?
So he got off his horse, knelt down in the muddy water, received the imperial decree, got up and read it word by word, and frowned when he saw him, feeling shocked in his heart.

Khan ordered him to go back to the north to defend Shangjing, saying that he was afraid that the Jurchens would divide their troops to raid Shangjing!

How could the Jurchens divide their troops, they only had [-] in total, Yelu Dashi was terrified, and hurriedly shouted: "I want to see Khan!"

The eunuch just shook his head: "Khan said that seeing the decree is like seeing a holy face, the king will return to the army immediately after receiving the decree, without delay, otherwise he will be dealt with by military law."

"I have something important to see Khan, and if I want to go back to the teacher, I will wait until I see him!" Yelu Dashi angrily dismissed.

The eunuch did not give way at all, and stopped in front of him without saying a word.

Yelu Dashi took a few steps to the left and right, and the eunuchs followed him to stop him. He was furious, shouted, drew out the sword on his waist, and chopped the eunuch down to the ground. It was muddy, and suddenly a large area of ​​soil was dyed dark red.

In an instant, the metal hissed, and the figures were chaotic, and in the blink of an eye, twenty or so men with animal-faced armor half unsheathed their knives came up and surrounded him.

The soldier leading the horse was so frightened that he sat down in the mud. Yelu Dashi glanced at the soldier, his eyes were full of fierceness, he turned around and cut the soldier into the mud with a sword, and the mud was stained with blood.

Panting heavily in the rain, he straightened up slowly, wiped the blood on the sword with his hands, ignored the eunuchs struggling in the muddy water and the guards who were separated from their corpses, put away the sword by himself, and said loudly: "Here Get out of here, old man!"

More than 20 beast-faced soldiers took half a step back slightly, but they didn't move away.

It wasn't until he saw him get on his horse and turn the horse's head that he hurriedly moved out of the way.

Yelu Dashi looked up to the sky and sighed, and turned his head to look at the Chinese military tent a hundred steps away. The fog there was so thin that no one could be seen, but he knew that Khan must be watching.

He rode back, feeling both grief and indignation.

There must be people with Khan around me
Yelu Dashi had to leave. If he didn't leave, he would be disobeying the Khan's will. He was the king of the South Courtyard. These beast-faced imperial guards dared not touch him, but if he disobeyed the order of the emperor, there was a reason to kill him.

"Han Gong, I am ashamed of you!" Yelu Dashi sighed heavily, and then left without looking back.

That day he began to gather his troops, and the next day he pulled out his camp in the rain and led his [-] troops back to Beijing. On the way, he finally realized that the autumn rain was really cold, and it was so cold that it pierced his heart and penetrated his bones.

At the beginning of August, Yelu Dashi, the great king of the South Academy of Liao Dynasty, was ordered by Khan Yelv Shulie to return to Beijing. According to the saying, Yelv Shulie's move was to worry about the Jurchen's "surprise attack" on Beijing.Many people in Beijing praised Yelu Khan for his thoughtfulness and consideration for the people.

On the fifth day of August, the autumn rain that lasted for many days finally stopped, the sky cleared up, and the autumn air was crisp.

On the seventh day of August, both the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchen took over the war letters from each other, and lined up about a hundred miles outside the Zhongjing City with Liao Baixi as the boundary, and the battle was imminent.

Yelu Dun was so excited that he was eager to try. He carried his bow, iron sword, and spear in his hand. He carried more than 200 soldiers with various equipment, but they were all excellent soldiers. Most of his soldiers were young noble children. , everyone is very excited.

At noon, when the sun was in the sky, the army began to line up on both sides. The sound of horseshoes shook the ground, and the sand and gravel on the ground bumped up and down. Looking left and right, the flags were flying, like black clouds, and you couldn't see the edge at a glance. This is Daliao, this is his Daliao !
With a million armors, no one can beat you!Yelu Dun thought about it with great pride.

After a while, the father rode out of the golden tent of the Chinese army on a BMW, and Yelu Dun hurriedly rode up and said, "My father, I want to follow you and charge into battle with the Chinese army!"

"Hahaha! That's right, it's my son!" The emperor laughed, but still didn't agree to him: "But today you follow your uncle's left army, the middle army is too dangerous, you are still young."

"Ah" Yelu Dun was immediately dejected.

The three-way army, the middle army was commanded by the father, the left army was commanded by his uncle Xiao Baoji, the king of the North Academy of Liao Dynasty;

Although Yelu Dun was dissatisfied that he could not stay in the Chinese army, he had no choice but to obey his father's arrangement and take more than 200 of his soldiers to the north to find his uncle Xiao Baoji in the Zuo army. , The sky is full of dust, no matter where you look, there are crowds of people.
