Yelu Dashi took the oil tea handed over by the guards, waved his hand, and ordered the tea bowls to be served to the generals. The domain name is familiar with these imperial cavalry generals guarding Yelu Dashi. They marched for more than 200 miles a day and night, and they unconsciously interspered between Zhao Xingde's troops and Cao Di. The people in the middle did not untied their armor and kept working. Eating and drinking water were solved immediately. The Liao Dynasty was simple and the generals did not thank him. They just smiled and took the tea bowl. After drinking with Yelu Dashi, they did not speak, but closed their eyes and let the heat of the oil tea go out into their bodies. After a while, they opened their eyes. Everyone was covered in red, and their fatigue seemed to have been reduced a lot.

"The King of Jin must not underestimate the enemy," Yelu Dashi smiled and said, "Zhao Xingde broke through Tie Ge's interception. He knew that he was surrounded on all sides and dared to continue to beat the drums, which was beyond my expectations. If he had the chance to capture him alive, I would meet this person." He handed the tea bowl back to the guards.

Yelu Kuang took the step forward, took the tea bowl and put it back on the wooden plate, and then put the tea bowl in his hand back, and smiled and said, "From the case revealed more than ten years ago, we can tell that Chen Dong and Zhao Xingde, the so-called Neo-Confucian clear streams, and they often do things like hitting stones with eggs. Zhao Xingde acted like this, but he might not have seen through Your Majesty's plan, but it was just a mistake." He looked around, but the other Khitan generals were confused on their faces. He didn't know what Yelu Kuang meant, but he didn't ask much in front of Your Majesty.

Yelu Dashi shook his head and smiled and said nothing. The Liao soldiers dug three feet into the small hill guarded by Yelu Tiege, but there was no drop of water. Later, they carefully filled the pit. If the Song army could not conquer this mountain, the army would be greatly depressed and be attacked from both sides and be defeated in an instant. If the Song army conquered this mountain, the Liao soldiers on all sides suddenly appeared, and the Song army was shocked, and would probably defend on the spot, waiting for Cao Di's reinforcements. The army did not carry much water.

The Liao soldiers did not need to attack. As long as they surrounded them for three or four days, the Song army would be cut off from water and they would be defeated without fighting. The Song army had been fighting north for so long, and Yelu Tiege saw that it was impossible for Cao Di to advance as desperately as Zhao Xingde when facing tens of thousands of Liao elite cavalry. However, Zhao Xingde was beyond Yelu Dashi's expectations. After conquering the small hill, he only stayed for a moment and continued to beat the drums and headed north under the surrounding tens of thousands of Liao iron cavalry.

"The autumn is high and the horses are fat, and the terrain in Henan is open, which is most conducive to the galloping of the Great Liao cavalry," Yelu Kuang continued with a smile, "If Cao Di dared not come forward to fight, the food and salary of Zhao Xingde's troops will naturally be cut off, and he will definitely not be able to hold on if he is alone. [This chapter is provided by you] The Song people said that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers. Zhao Xingde was the most active in the northern expedition. Let's show other Song generals how to be the enemy of our Great Liao!"

"The wars must be fought one by one," Yelu Dashi shook his head and ordered: "Each division and battalion will be good for rest. Next, there will be many bad battles." The generals answered that they would retreat one after another. Yelu Dashi also felt tired and returned to the Xi car to rest for a while. The more the enemy was facing, the more he could sleep. The prey had entered the trap, and the generals were hunting the Song army like hawks, but the hunters were indifferent.

The Khitans had their own inheritance habits, and some practices were completely opposite to those of the Song people. Yelu Dashi and Yelu Tiege rectified the Khitan divisions and ruled the rules for these Khitan cavalry to fight. When marching and camping, each ten-person team had to set up three times the camp tent, and the distance between camp tents was as far as possible. At night, either do not light a bonfire or make four or five more bonfires than normal. In this way, the Liao army's camps were very wide, which could confuse the enemy and make people unaware of the Liao army's real

Where is the stay? The accompanying war horses also stay in the camp with people. If they encounter enemy attacks, the Khitan soldiers can also board the horse to meet the enemy in a short time. On the periphery of the camp, there are always one-tenth of the cavalry responsible for reconnaissance and alertness. During the day, each cavalry tied branches behind the horsetail and raised sand and dust, and the dust was everywhere like a group of horses galloping, hiding the true direction of the large group of people. If it is at night, in addition to secretly whistle, each cavalry will take two torches. From a distance, it looks like the stars in the sky, with great momentum and quite intimidating.

The number of Khitan cavalry between Cao Di's army and Zhao Xingde's troops was about 80,000, but the number of scouts in the Song army was as large as tens of thousands of Liao cavalry. As soon as they found the traces of the Liao army, the 100,000 troops were stuck in the way. The generals were shocked and suspicious. Some generals even suggested that the army quickly return to Wusheng Pass and defend under the danger.

"General Zhao is greedy for merits and advances," General Ma Jinzhong shook his head and sighed, "This time I'm done."

"On the plains, the Khitan cavalry came and went freely. We fought the Liao Imperial Camp, and we had no chance of winning." Cao Gu said in a low voice with a worried look on his face, "The Hebei camp is a lesson from the past. Xijing has been captured by the Xia Kingdom. If these 100,000 troops are not guaranteed, I am afraid." He looked at his father and commander Cao Di and did not say anything. The Cao family has been guarding Xijing for generations and is an enemy of Xia Kingdom. Only one of the noble generals of Xia Kingdom inherited the title for generations. Even if the descendants are generals, they are dispatched by the General's Mansion and restrained by the school captain. How could Song give the Cao family such honor and favor? The Cao family has been in charge of a century-old foundation. Unexpectedly, except for Cao Xi, a thing that betrayed his ancestors, they sold all the Cao family for his glory and wealth.

The generals discussed countermeasures in a lingering manner. Cao Di sat upright and closed his eyes slightly, as if he had not heard of it. He was wearing iron scale armor, and his iron helmet was taken off on the desk, revealing his white hair bun and his face was covered with deep wrinkles. Since Xijing was captured by the Xia Kingdom, Cao Di seemed to have grown ten years old overnight. Although for the sake of the Cao family to save face in front of outsiders, in the eyes of Cao Gu and other close people, this old general had nothing inside. If not, how could he let Zhao Xingde go to the southeast camp in the name of the northern expedition and pull out more than 20,000 elite troops from the Song army in Jiangdong.

"Jing Zheng, the Liao army is powerful, so it's better to retreat quickly to ensure the victory of Wu."

"My Cao family has been favored by the country," Cao Di's eyes suddenly opened, and he was silent for a while, and sighed, "General Zhao is also a person who is dedicated to the country. He wants to be Yang Ye, but I cannot be Pan Mei. Zhao Xingde's troops are willing to fight. Since they can fight all the way from Wusheng Pass to this place, if he finds that the retreat has been cut off and he will be in harmony with us, there will be a little vitality. We will wait here for five days. After three days, we will set up camps and retreat to Wusheng Pass to protect the southeast half of the wall."

The generals were silent, and Cao Gu shook his head and did not persuade him to withdraw.

Yang Ye and Pan Mei are both famous generals of the Taizu Dynasty. When they escorted the people of Song from the mountain to the south, Yang Ye cut off the rear and attacked the Liao army, but Pan Mei broke the promise to retreat first, causing Yang Ye to be defeated and died. Later, the Yang family resurrected, and the Pan family was defeated immediately. The dispute between Yang Pan became a final decision. The folk story and Xiaoqu arranged this matter, which was a shame to Pan Mei for thousands of years. The Central Plains army has always used front and back formations to attack the enemy, and the generals of the rear formation waited and watched victory and defeat, resulting in countless deaths of the generals in the front formation. The Song Dynasty established a country with literary affairs, and even the nobles and military generals took great importance to the reputation behind Qing Dynasty. After the case of Pan Yang was settled, although the leader of the rear formation might not have fought bravely, they did not dare to leave the troops in the front formation and retreated lightly.

In the thick night, the torches of the Liao cavalry shone everywhere. The Song army camp was also shining with strict rules. The commanded lanterns were hung high, and each battalion dug trenches before nightfall, and tied the villages very hard. The soldiers did not disarm their armor at night, put their bows and crossbows and arrows by their pillows, and carefully guarded against the Liao army's night attack.

Outside Gusu City, in Hanshan Temple, in the best clean room of pilgrims, a lamp was like beans, emitting a dim light.

Under the flashing lights, Cai Jingqing's cheeks looked particularly thin. Over the past few days, everyone thought that Grandmaster Cai was wandering away from the Liao soldiers. Who would have expected that he had been living in seclusion in this Hanshan Temple, contacting his party members while secretly observing the situation. At present, the southeast half of the wall has been preserved. After the Liao emperor returned to the north, he occupied Jiangning Prefecture, and the Liao soldiers in Hangzhou Prefecture could not sit still. They were plundering every day, as if they were to make a fortune before they left.

It is said that officials, forced the people and rebelled. The gentry in the Southeast Prefecture was forced to have no choice but to follow the example of the gentry in Mingzhou, either forming camps to protect themselves or paying for the volunteers. Even the Hangzhou Prefecture where the Liao Kingdom was stationed heavily was secretly reported that merchants and workers were unable to exploit. In addition, the remnants of the Ming Cult, Shandong, will have a major incident in the past few days. Compared with Jingxiang, where the Song and Liao armies fought fiercely, Jiangning and Hangzhou seemed calm, but in fact, the building was filled with rain.

"I haven't replied until now." Opposite Cai Jing, Li Bangyan's face looked a little gray. He looked out the window and said worriedly: "Prince Cai, is it a bit too dangerous to persuade Your Majesty to go east?" After saying this, he looked out the window nervously. Over the days, Li Jiao-Kung-Kung is as frightened as a frightened bird.

"It's okay," Cai Jing shook his head slightly, waved his hand to unfold a copybook of Wang Xizhi, nodded, and smiled, "Your Majesty is controlled by the left and right people, so hesitated. However, those juniors in the management of the society act so perversely, and the generals of Cao Yue are all domineering people. Your Majesty will always remember the benefits of us old ministers." After saying so many words together, Cai Jing frowned slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, moistening his throat. He meditated in the clean room of Hanshan Temple for many days, and his complexion was much better than before.

Outside the window, a bright moon hangs high on the treetops, and monks are still doing their homework at night. Although Yelu Dashi destroyed Buddhism in Liao Kingdom, he did not do this in the Song Dynasty. The monks and temples can still be treated preferentially as long as they donate money and silk. Therefore, in the chaos of war, Hanshan Temple can still retain a pure land of Buddhism. The bushes concealed, the path outside the temple walls seemed very quiet.
