On the empty grassland, the sound of horse hooves is extremely clear.

The Khitan team, which was marching eastward, was immediately alarmed. Thousands of cavalrymen came out of the team and headed forward.

The sound of horse hooves in front was becoming clearer and louder, but the cavalry came forward breathed a sigh of relief! Listening to the sound, there were only dozens of people in front, and it was impossible to have too much impact on the Khitan team that was marching!

The opponent was getting closer and closer to them, and the thousands of cavalry immediately met.

"Who are you?" A voice came from the opposite side in the darkness, which was actually the voice of the Khitans.

The thousands of cavalry were already preparing to bend their bows and shoot arrows. After hearing this sound, they immediately put down the bows and arrows in their hands, but they still ran forward.

"Is it Lord Yelu Dashi here?" After a while, a voice came from the opposite side again, but this time the Khitan cavalry had surrounded them.

"Who are you?" A response finally came from the Khitan cavalry.

"We want to see the Great Sweat!" said the voice opposite.

"Who are you? If you don't answer, we will launch an attack!" someone among the Khitan cavalry shouted.

"It's me! Yelu Yilie!" A clear voice came from the opposite side.

"What? Little Prince?" The thousands of Khitan cavalry were shocked!

Some of the Khitan cavalry fired a torch, and it turns out that there were Khitans on the opposite side. One of the young men was riding on a horse and was a little thin. Who was he who was not Yelu Yilie?

"See the little prince!" Suddenly, a sound of meeting came from the Khitan cavalry.

"Where is Father Khan? I will go to see him immediately!" Yelu Yili said.

"The Khan is right behind him. Now he must have received the news and will come soon!" said a Khitan general.

Yelu Yilie nodded and immediately rode his dozens of cavalry to the back!

About a quarter of an hour later, he met the middle-aged Khitan man who was running with the Khitan cavalry in the afternoon! After seeing the middle-aged Khitan man, Yelu Yilie immediately got off the horse and knelt down on the ground, saying, "Children, see father Khan!"

It turned out that the middle-aged Khitans were the legendary figure in history, Yelu Dashi! Ten years after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi led his own troops and his tribe to Central Asia. Now he is known as the "Khitan Khan". Yelu Yilie is the son of Yelu Dashi, so he is called the little prince by the Khitan people.

"Yili, aren't you in Shangjing? Why are you here?" Yelu Dashi came down from his horse, helped Yelu Yili up, and said in surprise.

"Father Khan, you have only been two or three years now, and you have grown much older!" Yelu Yilie looked at his father and sighed.

"Is there something big happening in the capital?" Yelu Dashi asked hurriedly.

"Just just about to report to Father Khan! The Han people defeated the second prince of the Jurchens Wanyan Zongwang last year. The 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Jurchens in the Central Plains were completely wiped out by the Han people! Two or three months ago, the Han people raised their troops from all over the country to the north. They were invincible and invincible. The Jurchens could not match them at all! Now the Jurchens, the fourth prince of the Jurchens in Zhongjing, were probably defeated by the Song army, and the 100,000 Jurchen elite soldiers in Zhongjing were difficult to escape! In addition, the Mongolian Hebule Khan suddenly led nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses to the south. In Fengzhou, they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Song troops, and now they have been completely wiped out by the Song army! The Song army has extremely strong forces, and we are not the opponents of the Song army at all, so I left Shangjing and came to inform Father Khan and told Father Khan not to continue going south." Yelu Yili said.

"What? The Jurchens were so vulnerable? The 200,000 Mongolian soldiers were completely wiped out by the Song army? Is the Song army so powerful now?" Yelu Dashi said in disbelief.

"The Song army is very strong, very powerful! That day, we witnessed that war with our own eyes! Under the siege of the Song army, more than 100,000 Mongolian soldiers and horses were all wiped out if they could not hold on for a day! On that day, I stood outside and thought to myself that if I replaced the Mongolian soldiers and horses with my Khitan soldiers, I would probably not be able to hold on for a day." Yelu Yili said.

"This is impossible! We have been sleeping on firewood and tasting gall in the past ten years, and the elite soldiers we trained are definitely not comparable to those of the Mongols! The Mongols have no organization or discipline. We are learning from the Jurchens and commanding the army with ten thousand men and thousands of men! Even if we are surrounded by the Song army, we can fight back!" Yelu Dashi shook his head and said.

"This... Father Khan said it right, but the Song army is really strong now, and we really can't continue to move south." Yelu Yili said.

"You all talk about the scene of the war that day." Yelu Dashi ignored Yelu Yilie and looked at the cavalry behind Yelu Yilie.

"Khan, what we saw that the Song army's cavalry was extremely elite, and they were definitely not below us! Standing outside, I only felt that the Song army was amazing. Every soldier of the Song army was desperately moving forward, and no one retreated! The Song army's generals were also extremely powerful. No matter how the Mongols charged, they could not rush out of their siege!" A middle-aged man behind Yelu Yilei said.

"Khan, every soldier of the Song army is extremely powerful. They give people the feeling that they are very strong! They have a large number of horses and their riding skills are also very good! I really can't understand why they had no cavalry before. In just seven or eight years, why did they train such powerful cavalry?" Another person behind Yelu Yilie said.

"If there is a head-on battle, can they defeat us?" Yelu Dashi said.

"We may not be their opponents when fighting head-on! The Song army fought east and west over the years, from Guanshan to Xixia, from Xixia to Central Plains, from Central Plains to the grasslands in the north. They have experienced a lot of wars, and every soldier has experienced many battles. Although we lie on firewood and taste gall, the soldiers have experienced very few wars. We fight with the Han soldiers of hundreds of battles, and win fewer victory and more defeats." Yelu Yili said.

Yelu Dashi stood there frowned, feeling both incredible and had to believe it.

He knew that although his son Yelu Yilie was weak on the surface, he was very serious in his work and observed carefully. Yelu Yilie would never speak nonsense! Moreover, those who followed Yelu Yilie back to the hometown of Liao Kingdom were all elites under Yelu Dashi, and these people could not speak nonsense.

"Khan, we can't go south anymore! The Han people are too strong, much stronger than the Jurchens at the time! The Jurchens have a limited population. Although their combat power is amazing, it is difficult to form a huge army. The Han people have a large population and a huge domestic wealth. This time they go north this time, they can easily mobilize an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions! We can defeat the Jurchens, but it is too difficult to defeat the Han people." Yelu Yilei said behind him.

"When our Great Liao Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchens that day, the Han people were still vulnerable. The Song army, both the Western Army and the Imperial Army, were extremely weak! In just one year, the Han people lost half of their country, and the two Han emperors were also captured by the Jurchens! At that time, Emperor Xuanwu of the Han people was only ten years old, and it was not enough to command the world. Zhao Gou in Jiangnan ascended the throne to Emperor Jianyan! In just eight years, how could the Han people become so strong?" Yelu Dashi shook his head and said.

"Father Khan, I went south for the first time that day. I was going to cooperate with Emperor Xuanwu to destroy the Jin Dynasty. At that time, I felt that the Song army was very different from what you said! It was the time when the Song army went north to destroy Western Xia. Xixia was also considered a powerful country in the northwest, and it was established for more than a hundred years. However, in less than half a year, Xixia lost all the territory in the south. The Xixia Emperor had to send his son out as a hostage! I wrote to you, but you didn't agree. It was not until the Song Dynasty occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that you decided to cooperate with the Jurchens! Now the Han people have become a climate, and we can't take advantage of it when we go south!" Yelu Yili said.

"But we must go south!" Yelu Dashi said.

"Why is this?" Yelu Yilie said in disbelief.

"Let's go, get on the horse first, I'll tell you very well." Yelu Dashi said.

The Khitan team was still marching towards the east. In the night, the cold wind whistled, and the torches were blown out by the strong wind. Fortunately, there were still stars in the sky, so we could barely see clearly ahead.

"We started to go south from autumn, taking all the soldiers, clan members, cattle and sheep south across thousands of miles, and the loss along the way was huge! It is winter now. If we go north again and the weather is so cold, we may not be able to return to our original place. I wonder how many clan members will die in this severe winter! You said, can we go north?" Yelu Dashi said.

"But, the Song army is really too strong!" Yelu Yili said.

"No matter how strong the Song army is, the north is still the homeland of our Khitans, and there are still millions of tribes here! As long as millions of tribes unite, we can still drive away the Han people!" Yelu Dashi said.

"This..." Yelu Yilie was stunned.

"Tell me about the current situation in the world! What is the situation in Liaodong? Didn't the Han people have not occupied Liaodong yet? Wanyan Zonghan should have a lot of elite soldiers in his hands, right?" Yelu Dashi said.

"In Liaodong, our tribe members are difficult to survive. Since this summer, countless tribe members have risen up to rebel! I originally followed your orders and told them not to go against the Jurchens. When Father Khan goes south, we will cooperate with the Jurchens to retake Yanyun before we talk about it! The tribe members originally followed my orders, but in July, Emperor Xuanwu sent someone north and actually encouraged the tribe members to rebel! The tribe members only listened to that person and no longer listened to my orders." Yelu Yili said.

"Oh? Who can incite our tribe to rebel?" Yelu Dashi said in surprise.

"That man is Yelu Hong, the eldest son of Yelu Chun!" Yelu Yilie said with a wry smile.

Although Yelu Dashi calls himself the "Khitan Khan" in Central Asia, the Khitan Khan is not recognized by the Khitans in the Liao Kingdom's hometown. Many people don't know how big the foundation Yelu Dashi has created in Central Asia, and they all take this so-called "Khitan Khan" as a joke! On the contrary, Yelu Hong is the son of Yelu Chun, the former Emperor of Northern Liao! Yelu Chun turned the tide at the end of the Liao Kingdom and had a high prestige in the hearts of the Khitans. Yelu Hong was also regarded as the crown prince by the Khitans! Therefore, in Liaodong, Yelu Dashi's subordinates could not compete with Yelu Hong.

"He is still alive?" Yelu Dashi was surprised again.

"Yes, he is indeed alive, and he was recruited by the Han people! The Han people were extremely cunning. They first sold a stone man in a deep pit and then dug it out. The stone man was engraved with 'Don't say that the stone man had one eye, this thing would rebel the world once it was out of the world'. The stone man looked exactly the same as Yelu Hong! After this incident was spread to Liaodong, the world was shocked immediately. The tribe members regarded the rebellion as the will of God. There were rebels everywhere in Liaodong, and all the rebels were responding to Yelu Hong! Originally, the Song army went north and the Liaodong Jurchens could help Zhongjing, but now they were deeply trapped and could not get through at all!" Yelu Yili said.

"The Han people are so powerful! I admire them!" Yelu Dashi was silent for a long time before he had to nod.

"Father Khan, there is no place for us to stand in the north!" Yelu Yili said.
