In the early morning, the Liao army, who had fought all night, could not bear the heavy casualties. Even if the commanding generals gave orders, even let the supervisory team kill several retreating Liao army, the others were still unwilling to take another step forward. After all, they knew that they would die if they would go up, and they would die if they stayed. Moreover, they had been tired after fighting for a night and couldn't stand firmly, so it would be better to sit down and wait for death.

It can be said that under this situation, the morale of the Liao army has also dropped to the bottom. In fact, not only this Liao army, but also the Liao army that has taken turns to attack recently, this cannot be blamed for the soldiers of the Liao army. After all, they have been attacked for a month, but they have not received anything except for huge casualties. People are killed in battle every day, which has also exhausted the morale of the Liao army. It is not easy for no mutiny to occur at this time.

The soldiers of the Liao army were unwilling to step forward, but the general in charge of the command did not receive the order to retreat. If he retreated, he might be guilty of him, so he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

But at this moment, a cavalry suddenly came to the city. The general led by the leader could not help but sigh at the Liao army soldiers with a low morale and a numb expression. Then he said to the Liao general who was in charge of command: "Retreat. If you continue to force this way, the soldiers will rebel!"

The commander of Liao general knew that the visitor was Yelu Renxian, but he hesitated at this time: "But your Majesty..."

"I will explain to Your Majesty. You can lead the soldiers back and rest!" Yelu Renxian said helplessly at this time. Although the military orders are as high as a mountain, the soldiers in front of him have reached the point where they are exhausted. Not only are they overdrawn in their physical strength, but they also have abnormal spirits. If they continue to force this way, they may really be in a mutiny.

Yelu Renxian had a high prestige in the army. After all, he turned the tide and saved Yelu Zongzhen. It can be said that the main contribution of Yelu Zongzhen to have the current situation is to Yelu Renxian. Therefore, the commander Liao general nodded with confidence when he heard his promise, and then sounded the horn to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.

Looking at the Liao army soldiers who were still expressionless even when retreating, Yelu Renxian couldn't help but frown. As the attack on Gubeikou was unfavorable, he had long discovered that the morale in the army was declining again and again, and so many people were killed in battle every day, which led to the soldiers' depression and even war-weariness. If this continues, I'm afraid that not to mention attacking Gubeikou, the Liao army will rebel first.

Thinking of the above, Yelu Renxian couldn't help but sigh, but he had already tried his best. During this period, he repeatedly persuaded Yelu Zongzhen to abandon Gubeikou and use their fast cavalry to march from other directions. However, Yelu Zongzhen did not listen at all, but instead forced the army to attack the city even more violently, but it had no effect except causing greater casualties.

However, the army is now suffering heavy casualties and has no morale. Even if it is abandoned by Gubeikou, it is useless. Therefore, Yelu Renxian always wanted to persuade Yelu Zongzhen to withdraw his troops, but he did not dare because he understood Yelu Zongzhen's arrogant and arrogant nature. It was too difficult for him to admit that his failure was. Maybe he would even be angry and angry, so Yelu Renxian was very careful when speaking in front of him.

Originally, Yelu Ren should not have been in charge of this situation today, because he had allowed the Liao army to retreat without authorization, which had violated Yelu Zongzhen's order. Yelu Zongzhen could have used this as an excuse to ask him about his crime, but Yelu Ren would not care about it for now. After all, if these soldiers were forced to rebel, it might cause more serious consequences.

Thinking of this, Yelu Ren sighed again, then turned his head to look at the tragic battlefield under Xiguan City, and then turned his head back to the Liao army camp. However, although he did not sleep all night, he did not return to his tent, but came to the outside of Yelu Zongzhen's tent to take the initiative to apologize.

It was already dawn, and Yelu Zongzhen woke up quickly. When he learned that the army that was sieging the city at night had withdrawn without authorization, he was also very annoyed. Then Yelu Renxian made an apology, which made Yelu Zongzhen yelled angrily: "Yelu Renxian, do you know what the consequences of disobeying the military order?"

"Your Majesty calms down. I know that the crime is that the soldiers were not motivated at that time and their physical strength was exhausted. The generals who supervised the war had killed several people, but they still could not drive the soldiers. If they force them, it would probably only cause more serious consequences. Please think twice!" Yelu Ren stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Yelu Ren first knew Yelu Zongzhen's nature very well, so he apologized for the first time and then explained the reason why he did that at that time, because only in this way could Yelu Zongzhen have the patience to listen to himself explaining the reasons behind.

However, although Yelu Zongzhen heard his explanation, he still shouted again in anger: "No matter what the reason, now, I must take Gubeikou this time. If everyone disobeys military orders like you, what else can I use to command the army?"

Faced with Yelu Zongzhen's questioning, Yelu Renxian couldn't help but lower his head. He had expected Yelu Zongzhen to get angry, but he had no choice but to stand it now.

Seeing Yelu Ren not speaking for the first time, Yelu Zongzhen became even more angry, but at this moment, suddenly, a man rushed in and saluted to Yelu Zongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Brother Renxian is also thinking about the army. Please understand his painstaking efforts!"

The person who came in was Yelu Zhirang. He only heard about this after he woke up, so he immediately came to plead with Yelu Zongzhen. After all, he had a very good relationship with Yelu Renxian, and the other party had saved his life. Of course, the most important thing is that Yelu Renxian is extremely talented. If it weren't for him, Yelu Zongzhen alone would probably not be able to support the Liao Kingdom.

Compared to Yelu Renxian, Yelu Zongzhen trusted Yelu Zhirang more. After all, the two of them studied together since childhood, and Yelu Zhirang did not say something he didn't like to listen from time to time, and now seeing Yelu Zhirang begging for mercy, this made Yelu Zongzhen's anger temporarily calmed down.

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty is hard to forgive. Yelu Renxian's military power will be temporarily removed and will be dealt with in the future!" Finally, Yelu Zongzhen spoke again, and Yelu Zhirang was relieved when he heard this. Although the military power was removed, Yelu Renxian's position was not removed. As long as he waited for this war, Yelu Renxian would still be reused.

However, when Yelu Ren first heard that he wanted to remove his military power, he was even more disappointed. Originally, when he was in control of military power, he could still make some omissions to Yelu Zong, but now he had no military power. He could only watch Yelu Zong really act recklessly. Judging from the current situation, if he did not retreat, a mutiny would probably occur in the camp.

Thinking of this, Yelu Renxian felt his brain hot, and then he stepped forward impulsively and said again: "Your Majesty, now the soldiers are not in a fight, they have no morale, and even the food, grass and livestock are almost exhausted. If you continue to fight, only the disciples have suffered casualties. So please think twice and it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible!"

As soon as Yelu Renxian spoke, Yelu Zhirang next to him felt something was wrong, and even quietly pulled his sleeve to remind him not to talk nonsense, but Yelu Renxian didn't care about his personal gains and losses at this time, and finally said it. After all, he really couldn't bear to see the tens of thousands of troops being buried under the city of Xiguan.

However, although Yelu Renxian was loyal, he was not able to listen to Yelu Zong's true nature. Instead, he was furious and scolded again: "Being arrogant, I can't tolerate you to point fingers when doing things. Come and remove Yelu Renxian's official position and demote him to a commoner!"

Yelu Zhirang next to him was extremely anxious when he heard this. He immediately spoke up for Yelu Renxian, but Yelu Zongzhen did not listen at all. Instead, he asked someone to imprison Yelu Renxian. Now Yelu Zhirang had no choice.

Yelu Renxian seemed to have expected Yelu Zong to react. He did not have any angry expressions when he was taken down, but said very calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no benefit for the army to stay there. Please make a decision as soon as possible. If you delay any further, it will probably only allow the Song army to seize the opportunity..."
