Chapter 619 The Khitan is finished

Zhang Yan really didn't expect that Yelu Ruan had such a personality. When Yelu Ruan's younger brother Yelu Louguo came out to plead, Zhang Yan didn't quite believe it.

Only after Yang Jiye personally brought people in and the Khitan Yelv Sixin confirmed it did Zhang Xian believe it and enter the house.

Because Yelv Sixin was one of the personal guards who followed Yelv Bei from Dongdan Kingdom to the Later Tang Dynasty. Not only was he familiar with Yelv Ruan when he was a child, but when Yelv Ruan went to Tokyo to clean up Yelv Bei's body, he mainly relied on Yelv Sixin for help.

If he confirms it, then there's basically no problem.

That's fine, just forgive me, but I can't give an explanation to the people of Hebei and Henan. When the Khitans went south, I don't know how many families were destroyed. The population dropped sharply by millions in a few years. The sin is so serious that it is absolutely not easy to do so.

The doctrine of forgiveness.

But if you kill him, he will still be Yelu Abli's brother. Now that he has chosen to commit suicide, it is undoubtedly the best outcome for Zhang Zhi to have no blood on his hands.

This is a small house, with several squares of brightly colored blankets spread out on the rough yellow soil.

A dozen palace maids and chamberlains were kneeling in the distance, and two guards in armor were stabbed to death at the door.

On the carpet, dark red blood was still flowing. Yelu Ruan looked up at the sky, his eyes widening on his pale face.

There was also a man with fair hair curled up on the ground, still twitching slightly.

The two women crying the loudest in the room were the older ones. Not only did they look charming, but they also had the melancholy temperament of a talented woman.

The young one is probably only in her teens, with a slightly round face and a small cherry mouth. She does not have the wildness of the Khitan girl at all. Instead, she is like Xiaojiabiyu from Jiangnan Road. Although she is sitting on her knees, she can be seen to be extremely tall.

"Your Majesty has already died for his country, please give me some dignity, Father!"

The young woman spoke. The very smart girl knew that Zhang Gao had just glanced at her plump and slender figure, and immediately promoted Zhang Gao to the level of the world's father.

However, the Khitan Queen, who is only seventeen years old this year, obviously never thought that sometimes the identity of the world father and this kind of role-playing can arouse men's sexual interest.

"Are you Xiao Sage?" Zhang Hao asked in a low voice.

"This slave is Xiao Sage! Meet the father and the emperor!" Xiao Sage stopped crying and fell down in front of Zhang Yan with watery and red eyes.

This Khitan Queen is really beautiful! And the more she looks at her, the more attractive she becomes.

Of course she is very beautiful. Historically, Yelu Ruan loved the Zhen family so much, but Xiao Sage, a queen who was brought in through political transactions, still gave birth to three sons and three daughters to Yelu Ruan in six years. She became pregnant almost as soon as she was just out of confinement.

Without considerable beauty and wisdom, it is definitely impossible.

"You don't need to call me Shifu, is your aunt the Shimu of a certain family?" Zhang Hao smiled faintly and then stopped talking about this topic.

"I have never had a harmless and lustful heart, but he is so dishonest that he cannot blame others. Now that he has committed suicide, he will be dead and his debt will be wiped out. He should still be given the dignity that should be given to him."

This Xiao Sage is actually quite senior, because she is Shulu Ping's niece, so Yelu Ruan actually married his own little cousin, and that's why Zhang Yan would say this.

But at this time, although Zhang Shengren was a little interested in this woman, of course, destroying the enemy's country and having its queen be tactful would be the greatest happiness in life.

But now was not the time to care about these things. Zhang Hao took one more look at Yelu Ruan who was dead on the ground and immediately withdrew.

"Wang Tongtong, lead a hundred people to seal this place to protect their safety, and let the Khitan servants sort out Yelu Ruan's body.

Don't let the military doctor wrap up the wound on your leg. Ask two maids to help you take care of it."

Wang Tongtong dragged his injured leg and smiled. When he was about to kill Ye Hanerduo, he was hit by three or four arrows in the thigh and the bleeding has just stopped.

"That's alright, I'll take some of the glory of being a saint and enjoy the service of a Khitan palace maid."

Zhang Hao hurriedly ran out after saying that. Yelu Ruan's death does not mean that the war is completely over, because he was just an emperor who was pushed out and did not have much control.

The only force the Khitans can still fight now should be the six thousand men in Gaosong.

The palace tent army brought by this bitch was the only Khitan army that had not experienced the battle of Yanshi City and still maintained a complete organization, so the fear of Zhang Zhou's army was not that deep.

....

Zhang Hao's guess was good. After understanding that there were not many Zhou troops to attack, Gao Song really felt like coming up to give it a try.

However, Gaosong's troops, who were separated by a shallow river, were strongly blocked by Zhang Xibao's 200 cavalry before they could cross the river.

Zhang Xibao and others used the stream to pull back and forth, constantly harassing Gao Song's troops. If there were more people, they would leave, and if there were fewer people, they would swarm up. Gao Song sent several waves of light cavalry, but they could not do anything to Zhang Xibao and others.

So Gao Song, who felt that Zhang Zhou's cavalry was difficult to deal with, simply became ruthless and left six to seven hundred cavalry to fight with Zhang Xibao and others, while he personally led the army to the Khitan main tent.

Because he knew that although the camp was on the verge of collapse, Emperor Yelu Ruan, Dachang Wen Yelu Wuzhi, Xiao Han and others would definitely find a way to break out.

It's not that Gao Song was very loyal, he was really forced to do nothing. After they supported Yelu Ruan, they had already offended Shuluping and Yelulihu miserably.

Without the banner of Yelu Ruan, he is a Bohai man and cannot suppress the Khitan soldiers under his command. I am afraid that he will be tied up by his subordinates with just a warrant from Shulu Ping.

Six thousand people had marched less than three miles to the main camp. The defeated soldiers who fled in a hurry brought Gao Song the news of the death of Yelu Wuzhi and Xiao Han. Of course, some also said that the emperor had died in the battle.

Gao Song immediately summoned his two brothers and a group of Bohai and female straight officers to discuss it. Now he could not even trust the Khitan officers under his command.

As soon as the incident was reported, a group of Bohai and straight female officers promoted by Gao Song clamored for Gao Song to escape immediately and take everyone back to Liaodong.

In fact, the Khitan has not yet completely consolidated the former homeland of the Bohai Kingdom. You must know that the last king of the Bohai Sea was written by Da Tan, but just a few years after his death, the Bohai people were deeply oppressed by the Khitan, and they still miss the Bohai Kingdom very much in their hearts.

Due to the rapid decline in their status, the means of production were seized by the Khitans. Many Bohai people returned to the mountains in Liaodong and Jilin in later generations, and began to mix with the Nvzhi people. The two groups faced the oppression of the Khitans, so they were relatively united.

After Gao Song returned to the Liao Kingdom, he began to deliberately absorb the Bohai and Nüzhi people, and squeezed out those who could not control the Khitans. Therefore, among the 6,000 people he currently controls, there are more than 3,000 Bohai and Nüzhi people.

When Zhang Yan did not go north, these people hoped that Gao Song would take them back to his hometown of Bohai, welcome back the royal family of Bohai, and restore the Bohai Kingdom.

"No!" Gao Song's younger brother Gao Mouzhi objected loudly.

"It's a long way to go to Liaodong, and we have to pass through Yelu Lihu's territory. We don't know what the situation in Liaodong is now. It can be said to be a duckweed without roots. If we rush back eastward, we may be in danger of capsizing if we are not careful!

"

Gao Song had always taken a fancy to this disciple's intelligence. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Gao Mouzhi raised his hand and said, "Tongjun, please leave five hundred troops here to collect the defeated troops. Pay special attention to recruiting non-Khitan generals. Tongjun will personally lead the troops to save the emperor."

If the emperor is still alive, we will take the emperor and retreat to Zhongjing Road and Shangjing Road. From now on, whether we protect ourselves or sell it to Emperor Shaoming, I can decide."

Gao Song nodded, "What if the emperor really encounters something unexpected?"

"Then let's quickly return to Youzhou, kill Zhao Yanshou, and rob the eldest prince. We will take the wealth of the Han people in Youzhou and serve the eldest prince as the master. We will also retreat to Shangjing Road and treat ourselves as rare goods."

At this time, among the three sons of Yelu Ruan in history, Liao Jingzong, Yelu Xian and Empress Zhen were born, and the tortured Yelu was not born.

Only Yelu Ruan's eldest son, whose name has not been left behind, is still there, assisted by Zhao Yanshou and staying in Youzhou.

Also in the original history, Yelu Ruan and Zhao Yanshou were at peace with each other for a period of time, but soon they stopped dealing with each other.

That's because Yelu Ruan wanted to use the Khitan's Nanyuan King official system to take away all the power of Zhao Yanshou in the Yanyun area and erase the influence of the Zhao family in Lulong Army and Youzhou.

But in this time and space, the Khitan was so defeated in the Central Plains that neither Yelu Ruan nor Zhao Yanshou had any intention of fighting among themselves.

Sure enough, the biggest secret to maintaining internal unity lies in strong external pressure.

Precisely because of the existence of such a terrifying foreign enemy as Zhang Yan, Yelu Ruan not only did not kill Zhao Yanshou, he even dared to "entrust him with it."

At this time, all the Bohai and female straight generals recalled the wealth of Youzhou. Of course, it was the wealth in their eyes. They all looked satisfied and began to agree.

Gao Song also thought this was a good idea and had a satisfied smile on his face.

But before he could express his position, he heard the warning horn blaring outside.

Gao Song and other generals quickly went to a higher place to take a look, and saw at least six to seven hundred horsemen, holding silver-white banners, heading towards them.

Gao Song's nose was so angry that he would still be a little weak if three thousand Zhou troops came, but with six to seven hundred cavalry, only one-tenth of his army dared to come up and charge. This is really insulting!

Immediately, Gao Song waved his hand and said, "Gao Mouquan, immediately lead two thousand cavalry to attack and kill this group of Southern Dynasty traitors!"

Gao Mouquan was also Gao Song's disciple and had always been brave. After hearing this, he immediately led two thousand cavalry and shouted loudly, running over the mountains and plains towards the Zhou army carrying silver-white banners. Gao Song turned around and prepared ways to contain the defeated troops.

.

Unfortunately, before he had finished arranging the task, he heard the loud sound of horns and cries in Bohai dialect, mixed with shouts in Khitan dialect, 'Failed! Defeated!'

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Gao Song's forehead, and he saw that the two thousand cavalry he had sent out had already run back in panic like bereaved dogs.

Gao Song personally stepped out, grabbed a small officer who ran back and roared: "Where is Gao Mouquan? You two thousand people can't stop six or seven hundred cavalry?"

Takamatsu used "block" instead of "defeat", which meant that he couldn't beat him. You couldn't defeat him so fast, right?

The junior officer looked at Gao Song in a state of confusion, and replied with a trembling voice: "Before we set up our formation, a strong general came from the opposite side. He was holding a hard bow and galloped in among thousands of horses. He shot the deputy commander with one arrow.

died!"

"What nonsense!" Gao Song was furious and threw the young officer to the ground. "Ten thousand troops shot the general from there. Do you think there is a ten thousand enemy like Guan Yun Chang on the opposite side?"

But as soon as Gao Song finished roaring, "Guan Yunchang" came!

Li Cunhui, riding a green-maned Pegasus over the shadows, and protected by Murong Yanzhao and Wang Quanbin, had already arrived.

Li Cunhui's horse was worthy of the name Yueying. It was extremely fast and almost instantly reached Takamatsube. With his hands spread like an eagle's wings, he shot down the riders in front of Takamatsube's formation.

Takamatsu was about to order his trusted cavalry to dispatch. In an instant, the sound of warning horns came from everywhere again. In this dusk when the sun had already set, at least tens of thousands of cavalry were surrounding him from all directions.

Gao Song could even feel the vibration of the horses' hooves. The enemy army was only a mile or two away from him. His expression changed, he mounted his horse and ran back, leaving thousands of troops without command.

As soon as Gao Song retreated, no order or arrangement was needed, and all his troops immediately retreated to the north where the sound of horse hooves was the least.

Of course, this is not a rout, but an orderly retreat.

In this orderly retreat of the entire army, countless war horses and those with poor riding skills would fall behind and be surrounded.

Then after the main force that retreats first jumps out of the encirclement, they can choose to form a counter-encirclement with the whole team, or run away completely.
To be continued...
