: Meeting a Good Talent

Luo Youdu had a clear understanding of Yelv Xiezhen's thoughts. In fact, he was just like most people.

Faced with the biggest choice in life, everyone will be indecisive and confused.

Is Yelu Xiezhen afraid of death?

Luo Youdu personally feels that people like him should not be afraid of death.

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

The answer is yes, absolutely not willingly.

The stronger the ability, the more arrogant and arrogant a person is, and the more they want to leave their mark on this world.

Yelu Xiezhen had just established his worth in the Khitan and had not really proven himself on the battlefield, so he died like this. The name Yelv Xiezhen was mentioned in later generations, at most it was just a Khitan Duxiang Wen, and he was captured by Yang Ye in the middle of the attack.

, died for the country.

This is definitely not what Yelv Xiezhen wants.

But if Yelv Xiezhen surrendered directly, he would not be able to lose his face.

Who doesn’t cherish their own wings? Except for a few people, who is willing to be called a traitor?

Therefore, Yelv Xiezhen could only remain silent.

When Yelu Bishe surrendered, or the Khitan was completely destroyed, Yelu Zhen walked down the slope, and naturally no one would slander him.

Therefore, Luo Youdu was not in a hurry for him, he just entertained him with good food and drink.

"What a pity. Without Brother Yelvxiu, we could have captured both sides of the Liao Kingdom. If that were the case, the battle would be half successful."

Luo Youdu looked sad, feeling like he was lacking something.

This is a bit like Versailles. You must know that in this battle, the Khitan lost the Khitan's third most important figure, King Yelu Talie of the North Academy, and the future temple minister Han Derang. The future military cauldron bearer Yelu Xiezhen was also captured alive by them.

As for the more than 20,000 elites, there are even more numerous generals of all sizes.

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

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

Luo Youdu nodded. Cao Bin's troops were located to the west of Dading Prefecture and were not on the same route as their retreat.

Therefore, his mission was to lurk and take advantage of the Khitan army's southward pursuit to attack their forts and destroy as many forts as possible, laying the foundation for their counterattack on Dading Prefecture.

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

Yinliang River, northern foothills of Mayu Mountain.

Brother Yelvxiu was resting by the river, and eight thousand soldiers were scattered by the river, either resting or herding their horses.

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

"Something's wrong."

After several battles, Brother Yelu Xiu deeply understood Cao Bin's military talents. Although he also wanted to participate in the pursuit of the Central Plains of the Southern Dynasties, his intuition told him that they would pay a heavy price if Cao Bin was left alone on their west side.

price.

Brother Yeluxiu was humble and gave up the opportunity to make meritorious deeds to others. He blocked Cao Bin himself and took over this difficult and difficult job.

According to normal assumptions, Cao Bin should retreat.

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

Cao Bin's stay is just a lone army, which means nothing.

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

Of course, it is also possible that the other party is worried about retreating too quickly, resulting in a lack of physical strength in the end, and they can take advantage of it.

Brother Yelvxiu kept testing, guessing and trying to figure out Cao Bin's intentions through every move he made.

The two sides kept pulling and pulling, and you advanced and I retreated. From Qiding Mountain near Dading Mansion to the northern foot of Yinliang Hema Yu Mountain, the two sides dragged each other for more than 150 miles.

The more Brother Yeluxiu chased, the more he felt something was wrong. An ominous premonition came to his mind, and he thought to himself: "Cao Bin is already hundreds of miles away from the territory of Dading Prefecture. He cannot threaten Dading Prefecture, so it is better to retreat."

"Commander Yelu, Cao Bin's envoy is asking for a meeting outside, saying that he has an appointment with the commander!"

Jin Yingjun strode to Brother Yelusiu's side and told him unexpected news.

Brother Yelvxiu put away the map in his hand and said, "How many people are there on the other side?"

Jin Yingjun said: "Only one person came, but the other party said that we would bring ten people together and meet at the riverside about a mile away."

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

Jin Yingjun worried: "Is there a scam?"

"Go quickly!" Brother Yelvxiu's face darkened.

Jin Yingjun did not dare to say anything more and left in a hurry.

Brother Yelvxiu waved his hand to his deputy, Ta Buyan, and said, "Gather your troops and prepare to retreat."

Ta Buyan was nearby and was a little surprised when he heard that Brother Yelvxiu was about to go on an appointment.

Brother Yelvxiu said solemnly: "I had doubts before, but now Cao Bin's invitation seems more like delaying time to me. He also knows that he can't hide it anymore, so he uses this method to delay our army.

.Something must have happened in Dading Mansion, and we must go back as soon as possible."

Ta Buyan said: "Then the commander still plans to keep the appointment?"

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

Ta Buyan looked horrified: "Commander!"

Brother Yelvxiu smiled calmly and said, "It's okay. I've heard for a long time that Cao Guohua behaves like a gentleman. His words must be kept true and his actions must be resolute. He takes the initiative to invite you, so he doesn't play any tricks."

Brother Yelvxiu made preparations. Just after he had taken more than 300 steps out of the camp, he saw ten people coming from the opposite side slowly.

Jin Yingjun nervously guarded Brother Yelvxiu.

Brother Yelvxiu waved his hand and asked him to step back. He squinted his eyes and looked at the situation. The sun was a bit dazzling, and he felt a slight shiver in his heart. He whispered: "What a great Cao Guohua."

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

Seeing that the other party was a hundred steps away, Brother Yelvxiu shouted loudly: "Didn't we make an appointment to meet a mile away? Why should Cao Tongjun be so anxious?"

Cao Bin asked the guards behind him to stand by, and he personally stepped forward and stopped fifty steps away, saying, "By the time the commander-in-chief arrives, I'm afraid your troops will have disappeared long ago."

Brother Yelu Xiu also asked the guards behind him to stop, and rode forward one by one. He looked carefully at Cao Bin's whole body, as if he was looking for something.

Cao Bin, however, understood and said: "Don't look for it, the commander of the army. The sacred object is too huge. How can you carry it with you? If you really want to see it, the commander of the army might as well choose a tree to rest and enter the great Yu. Bin offered it with the sacred object.

Help the unified army to conquer the battlefield and make your name known to all generations."

Brother Yelvxiu shook his head and said: "Cao Tong's army deceived me. Although Brother Xiu doesn't know what the divine object 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. What you can create will sooner or later be achieved by me, the Khitan."

Will have it.”

Cao Bin said: "I'm afraid that before that time comes, the commander-in-chief will still think that your surprise attack is really effective! My Majesty is a master of troops and has long seen through your trick. He just retreated deliberately to lure you into the game.

"

Even now, he is not afraid to tell the truth.

His mission was initially to attack Baowu by surprise, but due to Brother Yelu Xiu's caution, the plan was aborted.

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

Brother Hugh is sleepy to death.

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

The two men racked their brains in a battle of wits.

Until the chase reached the northern foot of Ma Men Mountain, Cao Bin realized that he had aroused the suspicion of the opponent and continued to use bait. Most of the time, the opponent simply gave up the bait and ran away. He simply showed his cards and directly attacked the heart, causing Brother Yelu Xiu to lose his fighting spirit.

Brother Yelu Xiu saw the other party speaking the most terrifying things calmly, his heart sank slightly, and said: "General Cao Tongjun really treats me as a three-year-old child."

General Cao Bin dropped his chess piece and said: "You are training naval forces in the upper reaches of the Hun River. Do you really think you can hide it from the world?"

Brother Yelvxiu no longer had any doubts. Even if the Central Plains judged that they came by water through their surprise attack, without prior insight, how could they know that their navy was hiding in the upper reaches of the Hun River?

He was so distraught that he clasped his fists and said, "Tianzi Luo is very calculating. Brother Yelvxiu admires it and takes his leave."

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

Dading Mansion doesn't know what's going on, so if we don't retreat now, we won't be able to retreat for fear of retreating later.

Cao Bin did not chase him and watched him go away.

We all understand what the other party wants to do, and any attempt to persuade them to stay will be ineffective.

Seeing that Brother Yelvxiu had joined the troops, he took out the hidden telescope from his waist and looked at the enemy camp seriously.

Yelv Xiuge has strict military discipline, and his soldiers are not as lax as the Khitan soldiers, and their execution ability is no less than that of the soldiers from the Central Plains. The imperial cavalry has not yet arrived, but they have gathered their free horses and retreated slowly.

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

Brother Yelvxiu loudly issued various orders. Finally, he called Ta Buyan and said, "The troops from the Central Plains are coming soon, and I need someone to serve as my rear guard."
