From a handsome young man to a terrifying and ugly person, Li Yao didn't know how he persisted in surviving. The roar outside Jizhou City destroyed all his excellence and pride at the same time.
It was blown to pieces. There were countless famous generals in the Liao Kingdom. Who could push the King of Han to the edge? He was the only one, Li Yaonana Yan, but it was precisely for this reason that he ended up where he is today.
Li Yao Nayan wore a full suit of armor and stood on a high slope looking at the marching queue. The visor on his helmet was pulled down, blocking the ferocious scars on his face. Only a pair of eyes were exposed on the iron face.
A flame called hatred is rising and burning.
Although His Majesty Lu Xiongji of Daliaoye was not a superficial person who judged people based on their appearance, and he gave him this scarred glory. Among the younger generation, he was the first person to be granted the title of marquis.
However, what is lost is still lost after all.
Exhaling a long breath, Li Yao Nayan turned around and asked, "Have any of the scouts sent out to explore the road come back?"
A deputy general quickly bowed and said: "Back to the Marquis, not one of the dozen or so teams of scouts who have been sent out has returned. This place is too far away and should be about 130 miles away. It is estimated that there will be scouts one after another after lunch.
Came back in a hurry."
Li Yao Na Yan said with a smile: "Send the order, the army will rest where it is."
The lieutenant general hesitated and asked: "We have only been walking for an hour and a half, Lord Marquis, do you really want to stop? The prince ordered the prince to be the vanguard. If someone among us tricks the prince into marching slowly, I am afraid that the prince is with the prince.
It’s hard to explain. How about... the army should continue walking?"
Li Yao turned around and looked at the deputy general. There seemed to be no emotional fluctuations in the iron surface of his eyes, and there was no anger in those eyes. But the deputy general only felt that there was a sharp handle.
As if a knife was placed on his own throat, Li Yao's eyes were so calm and cold that it was scary.
"Shouldn't it be sooner? The prince sent you here to assist me, or to command me?"
Li Yao asked calmly.
The deputy general who was shouting inappropriately shook his shoulders, then bowed and said: "Of course I am here to assist the Marquis. I am just a small general in my humble position. I will never dare to be disrespectful to the Marquis. Don't be disrespectful to the Marquis."
It's a shame to scare the humble position. However, since the humble position was sent by His Highness the Crown Prince, he naturally has to think about His Highness the Crown Prince. The Marquis stopped to rest after marching for more than an hour. How long will it take to reach Taiyuan if this continues? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here
The Marquis said before he led the troops to the expedition...there should be no delay..."
A muffled sound interrupted Su Bubu's words. His panicked eyes saw the knife inserted into his heart. The knife was inserted straight into his heart by a steady hand with a black
If you look closely at the gloves, you can also find that the ring finger and middle finger of this hand are a little shorter. That is one of the scars left by an explosion outside Jizhou City, and it can even be said to be one of the most insignificant scars. Black gloves cover it
It was not only his severed fingers that lived there, but also the horrible and ugly skin that had turned white after being burned by the fire.
Li Yao Nayan let go of his hand, Su Bu Dai pointed at Li Yao Nayan and slowly went down.
"Noisy!"
Li Yao frowned and spat out two words. Two soldiers came over and dragged Su Buwei's body down. It wasn't long before he was casually buried in the loess. Because the ground was already frozen hard,
The person who buried the body was lazy and just dug a shallow hole. The body filled in was only covered with a thin layer of soil. There was even a corner left on the ground.
"Write a military report and send it to the camp to tell His Highness the Crown Prince that General Su Bugui led his scouts to explore the road and encountered the Han cavalry. After a bloody battle, he was still outnumbered and died heroically. As the vanguard general, Li Yao Nayan
If you are guilty of failing to rescue, please punish His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Yao Nayan gave a few instructions indifferently, and then a civil servant accompanying the army quickly wrote down what he said. He secretly glanced at the imperial title of Wanhuhou who wrapped his whole body, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Since I am the vanguard general, why do I need to send someone to monitor me?"
Li Yao Nayan said to himself, with disdain and dissatisfaction in his tone.
A close confidant said in a low voice: "Master Marquis, if His Highness the Crown Prince finds out, I'm afraid he will be very dissatisfied. Should we kill all the people who shouldn't do it?"
Li Yao Nayan shook his head and said: "Enough Khitan warriors have died over the years. If it weren't for the fact that Su Bu should not know what is good or bad, I wouldn't have the heart to kill him. I don't know how many more people there are in this Liao Southern Expedition."
Women have lost their husbands, and so many mothers have lost their children. Whether it is your majesty or the prince, they are all too proud. They are so proud that they have forgotten that the wounds left by the Han swords on their bodies are still bleeding. Outside the Great Wall, on the grassland of thousands of miles.
There are not many men left in sight. If we can't defeat the Han people this time, I'm afraid the world will really be in chaos."
The general named Huo Chi was shocked. He hesitated and asked tentatively: "Master Marquis, do you mean that even if we send all the troops from Liao Dynasty to the south this time, we will not be able to defeat the Han people?"
Li Yao Nayan sneered and said: "How can it be that easy! Your Majesty is just blinded by hatred. The goshawk is old and can't see things thousands of miles away. Tell the soldiers to rest and then turn around.
To the west, Taiyuan... let His Highness the Crown Prince fight it by himself. If I can bring a few more Khitan men back, I will be worthy of His Majesty's kindness."
Huo Chi's expression changed, and he finally asked: "Even if we can't destroy Han, but a million-strong army marches south, can we still lose?"
"Huo Chi! You don't understand that the era of Daliao is over."
Li Yao Nayan smiled self-deprecatingly: "Perhaps you will think that the bag of gunpowder from Hanwang Liu Ling broke my courage when I was in Jizhou, but Huo Chi, you should know that there is no one in this world who wants to kill more than me.
Liu Ling. However, I was not blinded by hatred. Enough of Canglang's descendants have died. If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that even the bloodline will be cut off. If His Majesty is willing to join forces with the party members, if he does not take the initiative
If we launch a war, the final outcome is still uncertain. So what if the Han people capture Xijing and Nanjing? Can the Han people still defeat us on the grassland? The Han people who have entered the grassland, even if we don't fight them, there are long supply lines and huge
The consumption will also drag them to death!"
"But now, we are the ones fighting without supplies!"
Li Yao Nayan sighed: "The reason why I asked for the position of the vanguard general is not because I am eager to seek revenge against Liu Ling, but because I know that Daliao has already been defeated as soon as this war begins.
What I want to do is to take you, the more than 20,000 descendants of the wolf, back to the grassland, instead of lying coldly in a pit that cannot accommodate corpses like Su should."
Li Yao Nayan pointed to the place where Su should not be buried and said: "War has always been a game for the strong. Daliao was once the most powerful giant in the world, but now, although it seems that Daliao is still very powerful,
He is tall, but it is just like a skin bag used when crossing the river. Once it is stabbed with a knife and deflated, will anyone still be afraid of the wolf-headed battle flag of the Liao Kingdom?"
"Huo Chi, be prepared, because you will face a choice, be a traitor to Daliao with me, or go fight with the Han people."
"traitor?"
Huo Chi's eyes dimmed, and he slowly raised his head and asked, "Why didn't the Marquis tell these words to His Majesty?"
"His Majesty?"
Li Yao sneered: "Your Majesty can no longer listen to any objections. Since the death of Yue Yue, he has completely lost his mind. The millions of Khitan men who went south this time will be considered immortal if they can come back alive."
.”
He looked up at the hazy sky and said in a cold voice: "But the Immortal Heaven no longer favors the Khitan warriors."
"But, Lord Marquis, we only have more than 20,000 troops. If His Majesty and the Crown Prince are angry, we will not be able to stop the hundreds of thousands of troops from attacking!"
Huo Chi said with difficulty.
Li Yao smiled and said, "Who said we have to go back the way we came?"
He looked toward the west, and a distant voice came from his mouth, which was like a heroic poem: "Let's kill the Xixia people from behind and keep going west! As long as we pass Helan Mountain and walk a few hundred miles,
There are countless small countries in the Western Region. After stealing all the gold and silver from there, go back to the west of the prairie."
He smiled and said: "It depends on whether the war is meaningful. If Daliao is really doomed this time, then let me take you and leave a bloodline for Daliao in the west. This is not betrayal of Daliao.
Betray His Majesty, but choose a retreat for Daliao. A million troops march south, and the 100,000 horses in Helan Mountain cannot stop Wei Mingxiao. Once the Dangxiang people kill them from behind, only the elderly, women and children will be taken by Daliao.
What to resist?”
Huo Chi shivered in fright at Li Yao Nayan's words, and Huo Chi felt extremely cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave in the Ona Ancient River, feeling helpless and helpless.
"Believe me, Huo Chi!"
Li Yao raised his chin and said proudly: "When Your Majesty learns that the descendants of Canglang have laid a foundation in the Western Region, he will be sincerely happy. Because at that time, Daliao was probably desperate.
.”
"Order the entire army to rest, and then ask the centurion to take his men out to replenish supplies. Although the Han people have fled, they can't take away all the food. Huo Chi, you don't understand the Han people. They all think that good things are hidden in fire pits.
The bottom is the safest. Tell the soldiers to go in when they see the village and dig under the fire pit and dig in the yard. They will definitely be able to dig up the food they have hidden. His Royal Highness’s army will not be left behind by us. It will take us five days to travel.
Queen of Heaven, we are about to turn around and head west."
He patted Huo Chi on the shoulder and said: "Go, it won't take long, one year, two years at most, we will go back."
Huo Chi solemnly performed a military salute and said: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we are all sworn to follow you to the death. The place where Lord Marquis's scimitar points is the direction in which we charge!"
Li Yao smiled, but his expression could not be seen behind his visor. No one would notice that the nails in his tightly clenched fists had pierced into the palms of his hands, and blood was hanging on the edges of his palms.
With.
"Liu Ling! Next time, next time I will definitely kill you! I will definitely defeat you with dignity!"
After making such a decision, in fact...Li Yao Nayan himself could not be calm. He told himself, I am not a deserter, I just felt the will of Changshengtian and led the Khitan warriors to take another road. Currently
When there is a mountain peak in front of me, do I have to hit my head and bleed? I just want to leave blood to the Khitan and leave little pride. Let me hold the wolf-head war flag high and fight for Daliao.
Way out! In the future, everyone will know that the decision I made today was correct. (To be continued)
