Chapter six hundred and fortieth retreat

Although the Pishi Army rebellion in the Northwest Camp was quelled, thousands of people were killed and injured, and the entire camp was even more panicked. What made Yelu Zongzhen even more troubled was that nearly tens of thousands of people participated in the rebellion this time, and most of them have surrendered now. What should we do with these people? We can't kill them all, right?

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although these soldiers have committed serious crimes, it is understandable. Moreover, the morale of the army is unstable now, and the handling is too strict may affect the morale of the army. Therefore, the old minister thinks it is better to arrest a few people who take the lead in asking for punishment. The rest will send them back to the garrison and wait for their future destiny?" Zhang Jian advised Yelu Zongzhen very carefully at this time.

I have to say that Zhang Jian is much more cunning than Yelu Renxian. He also knew that the army had reached the point where he had to retreat, but he did not dare to persuade him openly. But now taking advantage of the opportunity of rebellion, he suggested sending the rebellious Piss army back to his original garrison. This is actually a disguised withdrawal. After all, there are ones and twos. If the Piss army withdraws, the other troops will definitely not stay for too long.

"No, they participated in the rebellion. If they were let go so easily, how would they rectify the Dharma Code in the future?" Yelu Zongzhen immediately glared and said angrily.

Seeing that Yelu Zongzhen disagreed, Zhang Jian smiled helplessly and stopped talking immediately. However, he was also angry at this time. Since Yelu Zongzhen disagreed with his opinion, he simply ignored it. See how Yelu Zongzhen himself dealt with these people involved in the rebellion?

Sure enough, Yelu Zongzhen was just stubborn and had no good idea to deal with these tens of thousands of people. Killing would definitely not be able to kill them. Otherwise, the entire army would not only disperse their morale, but might also rebel completely. However, it would not be possible to let go. The military camp was short of food and could not afford to support so many idle people.

"Your Majesty, national affairs are the most important. Leaving these people is harmful and useless. I hope your Majesty will think twice!" At this moment, another Han official also came forward to persuade him that this man was named Liu Liufu, and he was also an important official in the court, of course he was much worse than Zhang Jian.

Liu Liufu was very good at seizing the opportunity. He saw that Yelu Zongzhen had no choice, and there was no better way to repatriate so many prisoners, so he spoke out and Yelu Zongzhen came to a step forward.

Although Yelu Zongzhen was stubborn, he knew that Zhang Jian and Liu Liufu's suggestions were more practical at this time, so after a while of silence, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, just do what you said!"

After Yelu Zongzhen said that, he turned around and left here, as if he was unwilling to stay here for too long. Zhang Jian and Liu Liufu also looked at each other at this time, and then they shook their heads and smiled helplessly. When they met an emperor like Yelu Zongzhen, their lives are not very easy now!

The rebellious Piss Army was deported to the original garrison, and several leaders of the unlucky ghosts were beheaded. However, this matter was only the beginning. Especially the other Liao troops in the camp saw that Piss Army could actually withdraw from the garrison, which made many people think that it should not be blamed. After all, the food in the camp has bottomed out, and some people have not had a serious meal for several days. People who are hungry may do anything.

Under such circumstances, the Liao army was also in a turmoil. Zhang Jian, Liu Liufu and others also persuaded Yelu Zongzhen to withdraw their troops in secret, but Yelu Zongzhen still couldn't let go of his face.

But just in the evening of that day, Yelu Zongzhen was sitting in the tent in a daze, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside. Then Yelu Zhirang took Yelu Renxian to the tent, and Yelu Zongzhen immediately changed color when he saw Yelu Renxian and said, "Why are you here? Who let you out?"

"Your Majesty forgive me, I brought my brother Renxian out!" Yelu Zhirang knelt down and bowed with sweat at this time.

"This matter is not about Zhijie, brother. I threatened him to bring me here!" Yelu Renxian also knelt down at this time, and then spoke again: "Your Majesty, now it has reached this level. Are you still unwilling to withdraw your troops?"

"Bastard, are you blaming me?" Yelu Zongzhen couldn't help but be furious when he heard Yelu Renxian's words.

Yelu Renxian took a long breath at this time, and then said earnestly: "I dare not blame Your Majesty. But as the lord of the Great Liao Dynasty, your Majesty must focus on state affairs in everything. Now he has gone south for several months without any results, and the food and grass have been exhausted. The soldiers have even lost their morale, and the rebellions in the army are one after another. If this continues, it will sooner or later lead to a greater rebellion, which will become even more difficult to deal with, and even shake the foundation of our Great Liao Dynasty. So I would like to ask Your Majesty to think twice!"

Yelu Renxian also took the initiative at this time. At the end, he even lay down on the ground and begged Yelu Zongzhen that his personal honor and disgrace had been abandoned by him. The most important thing now is to protect the foundation of the Great Liao Dynasty. After all, if Yelu Zongzhen continues to do this, they may really face the danger of destruction of the country.

Looking at Yelu Renxian lying in front of him, the expression on Yelu Zongzhen's face was also shady and shady. In fact, rationally, he knew that Yelu Renxian's words were very correct, but he was not willing to admit his failure emotionally.

Yelu Zhirang next to him also showed a hesitant expression on his face when he saw this, but in the end he gritted his teeth and immediately knelt beside Yelu Renxian and shouted: "Your Majesty, it's okay to withdraw the troops now. We still have hope of making a comeback in the future, but if all our 80,000 troops are left here, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Yelu Zhirang regretted it as soon as he spoke. He was too impulsive to speak. He was actually persuaded by Yelu Renxian before, but it was not enough to bring him here. At this time, he even spoke to Yelu Zongzhen. With Yelu Zongzhen's temperament, he might punish him and Yelu Renxian together.

However, what surprised Yelu Zhi was that Yelu Zongzhen was not as angry as before. Instead, after he finished speaking, the whole tent suddenly became very quiet. At this time, he did not dare to look up at Yelu Zongzhen's expression, so he could only lower his head and wait quietly, but the cold sweat on his forehead kept popping out.

After a while, Yelu Zhi felt that he was about to collapse. Yelu Renxian's expression had not changed. At this moment, he suddenly heard Yelu Zongzhen say, "Do you really think that you have to retreat now?"

Yelu Zhirang knew Yelu Zongzhen the best. When he heard his rhetoric, he was immediately happy because he had already heard the shaking meaning in Yelu Zongzhen's tone, which showed that he had also realized the reality, but he was just unwilling to admit it for the time being.

"Your Majesty, the weather is bad and there is insufficient food and grass. These are the difficulties faced by the army. These difficulties have caused the morale of the army to be dispersed and even rebellions everywhere. These are just internal problems. If the Song army noticed our situation and took the initiative to send troops to attack fiercely, what will Your Majesty use to resist the attack of the Song army?" Yelu Renxian said firmly at this time.

Now Yelu Zongzhen was silent again, and Yelu Zhirang also quietly looked up at him with courage. In the end, Yelu Zongzhen stood there with a gloomy face at this time, with a tangled look in his eyes, as if he was still hesitating.

It seemed that Yelu Zong was really hesitating, but Yelu Renxian said again: "Your Majesty, the lack of food in the army can't hide it from the Song army. In addition, the Pishi Army rebelled two days ago. Even if it stood on the head of Xiguan City, I'm afraid that the situation in our camp could be seen. Therefore, I am worried that the Song army might come to fight at any time. If it is restrained by the Song army, it will not be able to retreat at that time!"

Yelu Renxian's words finally worked. Yelu Zongzhen showed a painful expression at this time. After a moment, he finally nodded helplessly and said, "Forget it, I will listen to your suggestions this time, and I will repay today's shame in the future!"

Hearing that Yelu Zongzhen finally agreed to withdraw his troops, Yelu Zhirang almost jumped up happily, and immediately shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is wise. After Your Majesty stabilizes the internal situation, the country of Song is not worth worrying. At that time, Your Majesty will definitely repeat the feat of the First Emperor's army directly aiming at Bianliang!"
