"Xiao Chao sent news that Ye Luxiongji is unconscious and most likely dead!"
Zhao Da hurried over to report the news to Liu Ling. Although he tried to keep his tone calm, he could not suppress the excited trembling in it. Although he had confirmed a few days ago that Ye Luxiongji had read every letter, and
Yelu Xiongji indeed had a bad habit of licking his fingers while reading letters. So it was certain that Yelu Xiongji would definitely die. After all, the carefully prepared slow-release poison from the Fifth Branch of the Supervisory Yuan was not the kind of poisonous rat poison that rats eat as snacks.
He chased and added: "Vomiting blood, black."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Ye Luxiongji is about to die from poisoning. If the news spreads out, the whole Khitan people will be horrified. I think the people of the Han Dynasty and the Dangxiang people will be as happy as you when they hear the news.
Mouth."
Zhao Da chuckled and said, "I thought that after all these years of experience, I could barely express my emotions and anger, but this news is still so happy that I can't help it."
Liu Ling laughed and said: "People below say that the Commander of the Overwatch Council makes Mr. Zhao have a gloomy face all day long. Being stared at by Mr. Zhao is like being bitten by a poisonous snake. This is where you are. You can't be serious.
, that will only make people less awe of the Overwatch Council. It’s rare that you can laugh and be so complacent."
Zhao Dadao: "The whole atmosphere in the courtyard is gloomy, otherwise it wouldn't be scary. It's just that Ye Luxiong is about to die, and his subordinates cannot continue to pretend as if nothing has happened."
Liu Ling hummed and asked, "Is the news accurate?"
Zhao Da nodded and said: "The night before yesterday, Yelu Xiongji couldn't bear it anymore and vomited blood, so he loudly called the maids to call the imperial doctor. Those maids didn't know the seriousness and publicized the matter in the middle of the night. The next day, Yelu Xiongji was
De Guang took them out and chopped them off. Xiao Chao happened to be on duty last night, guarding Yelu Xiongji's tent. The imperial doctors were busy coming in and out, and Xiao Chao saw with his own eyes the black blood they poured out and poured out. Then he
Hearing Yelu Deguang's wailing, the big tent became a mess. All the generals of the third rank were summoned into the big tent. The Xiaochao was not high enough to enter, but there is a 70% certainty that Yelu Xiongji is dead."
Liu Ling pondered for a while and said: "Let Xiao Chao hold on tight, the time is not yet ripe, don't lose your composure because of what is happening in front of you, Yelv Xiong is dead, and Yelv Deguang is also there."
He thought for a moment and said, "Has the news spread?"
Zhao Dadao: "They have dispersed. Not only is the Khitan camp in a state of chaos, but the sound of firecrackers in Taiyuan City is several times greater than before. My subordinates have sent people to spread the news to Swan City. It is estimated that within three days at the latest
The Empress of Heaven, Wei Mingxiao, will know. Even if our people don’t reveal the news, the people in Xixia Yipintang will be able to hear it. The news should reach Youzhou faster than Swan City."
"Find a way to put on a show, not only to let Wei Mingxiao get the news, but also to show that we are suppressing the news."
Liu Ling smiled: "Wei Mingxiao is too cunning. The more openly you tell him, the more he won't believe it."
Zhao Da was amused by Liu Ling's sarcasm towards Wei Mingxiao: "Indeed, Wei Mingxiao must send someone to confirm such important news. But in less than ten days, Xixia's 400,000 troops in Swan City will be afraid
It will be off soon."
Liu Ling slowly shook his head: "Wei Mingxiao can't wait ten days. He will send people to confirm the accuracy of the news while leading the army to set off. Such an opportunity cannot be missed. He will also worry about the Khitan people if the news is true.
We will return immediately. When the 500,000-strong army retreats to the Liao Kingdom, Wei Mingxiao may not dare to attack rashly."
Liu Ling said: "To give the party members a hint, you go and find Hua Ling, and I'll ask him to take people out of the city to fight for a while. Then use the channel in the courtyard to notify Wang Banjin and ask him to transfer the troops deployed in Fuzhou.
To counterattack Fire Owl Linghu, the bigger the momentum, the better. There is no need to leave too many people in Fuzhou to keep an eye on Wei Mingxiao, so that Wei Mingxiao will be even more unable to sit still."
"The Liao army did not dare to withdraw too fast. Even if they retreated, they would withdraw step by step. Even if Yelv Xiong's machine died, Yelu Deguang and Xiao Suxun would not release the news. It is a matter of life and death for the half-million troops, and even more important.
Regarding the fate of the Liao Kingdom, even if the two of them were accused of being unfilial, disrespectful and disloyal, they would definitely not dare to let the entire army wear filial piety."
Liu Ling waved his hand and signaled Zhao Da to make arrangements first: "First arrange everything that can be done in the yard, and then go to the main hall. I will be in the main hall these two days."
Zhao Da responded, bowed and retreated.
After Zhao Da left, Liu Ling turned around and asked Nie She who was drinking tea in the inner room: "Do you want to come with me?"
Nie She shook his head: "You are busy with your military matters. I will go to the world of immortality to listen to music later. I have no time to see hundreds of men in helmets shouting. There are no beauties."
The singing is beautiful.”
Liu Ling smiled and shook his head, then walked out.
Summoning all the generals above the general level in Taiyuan City, Liu Ling held a meeting in the Zhengtang Hall of the Imperial City of Taiyuan. Military generals of fifth rank and above and officials in charge of military supplies and civil affairs in Taiyuan City all arrived. They had heard the news in advance, and everyone
Everyone had the most cheerful smile on their face. Before Liu Ling arrived at the hall, everyone was talking about whether the rumors were true or not. The smarter people firmly believed that Ye Luxiongji was really going to die.
, Otherwise, why would the prince suddenly raise the account to discuss matters?
This is a good enough reason that even skeptics cannot refute.
Those who can enter the main hall to discuss matters are all high-ranking officials of fifth rank or above, most of whom hold military positions, and there are not many civilian officials. Except for Lu Su, the governor of Taiyuan County, the remaining civilian officials are officials responsible for the logistics of the army. From this point of view,
It can also be seen that when the King of Han convened everyone to discuss matters, he must have a task to assign.
While people were talking a lot, Liu Ling, the king of Han, slowly walked into the hall. Sixty or seventy officials immediately fell silent and bowed in solemnity.
Liu Ling sat on the dragon chair in the main hall, smiled and said: "Don't hold it in, just laugh if you want. Yelv Xiongji died yesterday. It is said that he was infected with the plague... I just don't know why, Khitan
It’s a coincidence that out of an army of hundreds of thousands of people, only the emperor was infected with the plague.”
As soon as Liu Ling finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the hall immediately laughed loudly. The people's discussion and laughter almost shook the dust from the hall. For a while, they burst into laughter and almost set off firecrackers to celebrate someone's death. etc.
After a while, Liu Ling coughed and said, "You've all laughed enough, that's enough, I'm going to shoot the command arrow."
Only then did the officials realize that they had been a little presumptuous, but everyone also knew that the King of Han would not get entangled in such matters. When they heard that the prince was about to assign tasks, everyone immediately returned to their original positions and stood in awe.
"Hua Ling!"
After Liu Ling waited for everything to quiet down, he was the first to call the name of Taiyuan Jiedushi Hua Ling.
"My subordinate is here!"
Hua Ling, who was already wearing full armor, took two steps forward and bowed to listen to the order.
"I order you to lead an army of 30,000 people, go out from the north gate, and pretend to attack the south gate of the Khitan camp in Su County. If the Liao army is well-prepared and does not need to attack by force, just set up a formation outside Su County. If the Liao army retreats, the pursuit should not be too hasty and only snatch.
Food and grass supplies.”
"My subordinates have the order!"
Hua Ling stepped forward to catch the arrow, bowed and stepped aside.
"Luofu!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"I order you to lead 30,000 troops to attack the east gate of the Liao army camp in Su County. There is no need to attack by force. All you need to do is block the Khitan's road to the northeast. Kill as many as you come. Don't let the Khitan divide their troops to go to Youzhou.
If the Liao army retreats, you cannot pursue it, just guard the road to Youzhou."
"I obey my orders!"
"Dugu Ruizhi!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"You go back and select 10,000 fine cavalry, remove their armor, and equip everyone lightly. They will go out of the city from the south gate of Taiyuan in a circle and go to the back road of the Khitan people. You must reach the thirty-mile slope south of Daizhou within two days and two nights.
Set up an ambush. The Khitan army retreats here. Just lead the cavalry to attack. Whether you can cut down Yelu Xiongji's wolf-headed banner depends on your ability. Remember, there is no need to entangle, the Khitan wolf cavalry is very powerful on the plains.
The main task of these ten thousand elite cavalry is to frighten the enemy and cut down the banner. If successful, they will leave the battlefield, follow the Khitan army in pursuit, and seize as much baggage as they can."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! No one can do this better than my subordinates when attacking behind enemy lines!"
Dugu Ruizhi took the order arrow and smiled.
Liu Ling smiled and said, "Let's see how you make the Khitans flee in panic."
"Xu Xuan!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"I order you to lead your troops and pretend to attack the west gate of the Liao army's camp in Su County. Raise many flags to create a big momentum, making the Liao army think that you are powerful and dare not retreat from the west gate to join the fire owl Linghu, forcing the Liao army to go forward.
Let’s go to Daizhou!”
"I obey my orders!"
"Lu Zhou!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"I order you to lead your troops and set up an ambush in the northeast of Su County. If you see the Liao army retreating, wave the flag and shout, wait for the Liao army to retreat and kill them from behind, and seize more horses, food and grass!"
"I obey my orders!"
"Everyone else, go back and prepare. When the Liao army retreats to the north, divide your troops and gradually cover them up. Each battalion will move forward in turn. Again, grab as much horses, food and fodder as you can. Don't be obsessed with fighting to kill the enemy. Drive the Liao army back in one go.
North of Daizhou, it is best to let the Khitans run back naked!"
Liu Ling stood up and finally said a bad word.
"Let them run back naked!"
Everyone laughed loudly.
….
Su County
"Military advisor...what should we do?"
Yelu Deguang wiped a few tears that had squeezed out of his face and asked Xiao Suxun if the tears were fake. The frightened and pale look on his face did not seem to be fake. But there was not much sadness in this expression.
Fear. Yelvxiongji died. He vomited blood and it was as black as ink. He screamed three times and died.
Heaven will destroy our Daliao! Heaven will destroy our Daliao! Heaven will destroy our Daliao!
These three shrill screams frightened everyone lying on the ground in the hall. The unwillingness, helplessness, anger and despair in the shouts horrified everyone. These were the last words of a generation of heroes before they died.
lament.
He died, but he refused to close his eyes after all.
The upright body gradually became cold and stiff.
Everyone in the big tent knelt down, their heads hanging on the ground, trembling.
The heavy snow that had been brewing for a few years finally fell, and the fluttering goose feather snow fell from the sky. Not long after, the paper money everywhere was white. (To be continued)
