In early May of the second year of the Han Dynasty
The leader of the Heishui Mohe tribe, Wu Gujiu, was tricked by Li Xiu into negotiating with the Han army. Wu Gujiu was killed, and the Han army immediately launched an attack. All the remaining soldiers of the Heishui Mohe tribe were killed, and the Han army was defeated.
The largest tribe in Liaodong was destroyed. After ten days, Tuo Lie, the leader of the Shiwei tribe, died in battle, and the Han army destroyed the Shiwei tribe.
The tribes in Liaodong were frightened and sent people to the Han army to ask for a meeting with their leader Luo Xu. All the tribes expressed their willingness to submit to the Han and had no objections.
At this time, the army led by Liu Ling himself had returned from the Liao Kingdom to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing.
The scenery did not change much when we came here, but everyone felt a little regretful in their hearts. After sending troops to Beijing, the army walked back and forth on the vast grassland for more than two months, but they did not have a fight with the Khitans. Some people felt that
With joy, it is a happy thing no matter how hard it is to not have to fight in battle. There are also people who are unwilling to accept it, thinking that they failed to eradicate the Khitan people, and in short, they left future troubles.
Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing was abandoned by the Khitans, and the people dispersed into the depths of the grassland. However, the remaining Khitan troops and the new emperor of Liao, Empress Dowager Xiao, and others made another choice.
"Xiao Chao followed the Liao army. He left me medicine and food. There were still some dead soldiers under my command, but I was just worried about Xiao Chao's safety, so I sent them all to Xiao Chao."
The carriage bumped, and the soft-spoken Iron Wolf's face was still very bad. This time he walked around the gate of hell, was in a coma for seven days, and finally woke up. If it weren't for his physical fitness being far stronger than the average person, plus
After briefly treating the wound, he was afraid that he would be doomed this time. He waited for Liu Ling in the Golden Hall for more than ten days before he gradually became exhausted. The little food he brought with him had long been eaten up. After the charcoal fire was extinguished, the crows
He thought they were corpses and planned to come down to eat them, but instead he killed dozens of them. In the last few days, he survived by drinking bird blood and eating raw bird meat.
The most serious injury was on the chest. If the knife struck by Wei Mingxiao's personal guard had penetrated any deeper, he would have been killed on the spot. He took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack and kill Wei Mingxiao. In fact, what happened next was not the same as the iron wolf.
I don’t know too much details. The Liao army besieged the Xixia soldiers and horses. After the death of Wei Mingxiao, the Xixia soldiers immediately went into chaos. The Khitans killed almost 200,000 Xixia soldiers. Although many people escaped, they had no supplies. I believe they
There is no way out of the vast grassland.
The iron wolf was injured several times by Wei Mingxiao's guards. He fought his way out of the siege under the protection of the dead men. Chao Qiu Ge took people to pick him up and hid him in a house, and then Chao Qiu Ge left in a hurry.
.Suffering from severe injuries, Tiellang could only hide in the house and wait for Chao Qiuge to return. He relied on his own soldiers to lie on the window and watch the situation outside to analyze the battle situation. At nightfall, when he saw the Khitan brigade
Returning to the city of Linhuang Mansion, Iron Wolf speculated that all the Xixia soldiers had been killed.
At night, Chao Qiuge quietly went to Iron Wolf's hiding place alone and told Iron Wolf that Queen Mother Xiao had decided to abandon the city and leave. He still had unfinished missions, so he wanted to leave with the Khitan army. Iron Wolf
Lang tried to persuade him, but Chao Qiu Ge just refused to listen. He bandaged Iron Wolf's wounds with his own hands and changed his clothes. Chao Qiu Ge was about to leave. He said that Empress Dowager Xiao had issued a decree that there were less than 40,000 Khitan left after the war.
The exhausted army protected the new emperor from Shangjing and moved to another place. He could not stay for a long time. He left some food and medicine behind, and Chao Qiuge said "take care" to the iron wolf.
Almost all of Iron Wolf's hundreds of dead soldiers were killed while protecting him from the siege, leaving only about forty people. Iron Wolf left two people behind, and the others were sent to Chao Qiu Ge. Chao Qiu Ge
Initially refusing to agree, Iron Wolf advised: "Even if it is not for your own safety, just think that I am forcing you to keep you, so that you can complete the mission given to you in the yard. You are alive, and with you guiding the army, sooner or later, we can still fight."
If you find the Khitan people and die, who will lead the army?"
Chao Qiuge wiped off the blood on his hands from bandaging Iron Wolf's wound, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
He looked at the wound on Iron Wolf's shoulder, which was caused by his scimitar.
"Feel sorry"
Chao Qiuge opened his mouth, and finally said these two words.
Iron Wolf smiled and said, "I'll give it back to you sooner or later."
Chao Qiuge also laughed and patted his chest: "I'll leave this body for you to chop off. When I come back, you can chop it back ten times or a hundred times."
"treasure!"
He whispered two words and then walked out of the room.
"Alive!"
Iron Wolf looked at Chao Qiu Ge's back and said two words. His voice was very low, but it penetrated into Chao Qiu Ge's heart.
"Will do"
Chao Qiuge did not look back, and left the residence with the Iron Wolf's deployment. That night, the Khitan army left Linhuang Mansion overnight. After the army left, the people were in chaos. It was rumored that the Han army was about to attack,
Without an army to protect the people, they knew they would die, so the whole Linhuang Mansion became chaotic. After the people packed up their belongings, they fled the place overnight. The Iron Wolf hid in that house for three days and ran out of food.
Two of his soldiers went out to look for food. Because they were carrying weapons, they were surrounded and beaten to death by the Khitan rebels.
Iron Wolf endured the pain and gradually calmed down on the street before walking out of the hiding place. Hidden all the way towards the Shangjing Palace, he met several Khitan people who had not left Linhuang Mansion on the way.
, those people wanted to grab Iron Wolf's weapons, but they were killed one by one by Iron Wolf. Instead, they grabbed some food, but the wounds were torn in the fight, but the medicine around him was almost used up.
When they arrived at the Golden Hall, the Iron Wolf had been hiding in the palace for several days. He predicted that the Han army would soon arrive, so he first threw the last food into the hall, then tied a copper stove to his waist and filled it with charcoal.
, hooked a rope to the eaves of the main hall and climbed up to the roof.
This wait lasted for more than ten days.
"Where did the Khitans go?"
Liu Ling put down the medicine bowl in his hand, and then wiped the concoction on the corners of Iron Wolf's mouth with a handkerchief. Iron Wolf did not recover very quickly, and his body was still weak. But it was a miracle that he survived. Even
The medical officers from the five places had already announced his death. Who would have thought that he actually survived. Although the wound healed slowly, the fever had subsided. The carrion was cut off and bright red blood flowed out. There were five wounds.
The medical officer here is here, and he just needs to rest and recover.
"The Empress Dowager Xiao did not say anything clearly when she left, but just ordered the army to set out overnight. Even the people who Empress Dowager Xiao trusted most, such as Xiao Chao, did not know where she planned to go. Perhaps only Yelu Feiyang and Han Zhigu knew about Empress Dowager Xiao
I have no specific thoughts, but Xiaochao speculates that... it should be heading west."
Iron Wolf turned his body slightly to make himself lie more comfortably. There were countless wounds on his body, the big ones were still bleeding, but the smaller wounds were already healing. The painful places, the itchy places, the feeling
It was completely messed up, and he didn't even know if his body still belonged to him.
"Go find Li Yao Nayan!"
Iron Wolf said a few words. Although the news has not been confirmed yet, the words that spread will undoubtedly make countless people open their mouths in surprise.
"Li Yao's face?"
Liu Ling repeated and nodded.
This is a name that has disappeared for more than a year. The once handsome young general left Daliao resolutely with 20,000 troops, trying to gain a second territory for the Khitans in the west. Secret spies from the Supervisory Council also
I couldn't go to the far west, but I just collected a lot of legends. There is a story circulating in the Xixia Kingdom, saying that the Khitan general who rode west with 20,000 wolves conquered a big empire in the Western Regions. There are also people
It is said that Liyao Nayan's team was surrounded during the expedition to Persia, and the entire army was wiped out after several days of bloody fighting.
However, no matter what the ending of this story is, no matter whether the person who tells this story is an enemy or a friend of the Khitan people, when the name of the disabled general is mentioned, everyone has respect on their faces.
He took another path. At first, many people scolded him and cursed him. Even though the Khitan Emperor Yelu Xiongji granted him a title, he still found an excuse to behead all Li Yaon Nayan's family members. At that time, people
What he considered a traitor, a coward, and a shameless person has now become the new hope of the Khitan people?
Liu Ling smiled. He did not order the army to pursue the Khitans in the direction they moved.
It was a road covered with thorns. If the Khitan people could walk through it, they might be able to open up another world and revive. The descendants of Canglang did not choose to fight to the end. But there is no doubt that this choice is more respectable than dying in battle.
.
The supplies of the army were just enough to return to Youzhou, and there was no wealth. With the future unclear, Liu Ling led 60,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary troops into the depths of the grassland. Liu Ling did not want to take this risk. Even if the food and grass were sufficient, Liu Ling would
Ling wouldn't give this order. He didn't want to drive out all the Khitan people in the first place, but now this result is actually better than he expected. There are many countries in the Western Region. Did Li Yao Nayan die in battle or really fight?
A piece of heaven and earth is actually not important. What is important is that the grassland people will no longer have the strength to start a war within a hundred years.
"You have a good rest. You will be able to see the Great Wall in about ten days."
Liu Ling smiled at Iron Wolf: "Next, you can find a place you like to rest. There will be no tasks for you within two years. I will send someone to send you to where you want to go."
Iron Wolf smiled gratefully and suddenly asked a question: "Your Majesty, has Xingqing Mansion been defeated?"
Liu Ling was slightly startled, and then understood what Iron Wolf meant.
"At the end of last month, General Wang's troops have captured Swan City, and the army has now reached Helan Mountain. Mao Yuan's troops and General Cheng Yihou's troops have already invaded Xixia, and General Zhao Er has also entered with his troops.
In Xixia territory, the fastest advancing team is less than a hundred miles away from Xingqing Mansion."
Liu Ling smiled slightly: "If you go to Xingqing Mansion to visit, I will arrange for someone in the courtyard to take you there."
Iron Wolf shook his head: "I don't want to go there, I just want to know if my efforts were in vain."
"With the map you sent back and the army overwhelming, how could your efforts be in vain?"
Liu Ling said with a smile.
The iron wolf laughed, his smile shining brightly on his very masculine face.
"I don't want to go to that place in Xingqing Mansion anymore. My hometown is in Jingmen and I grew up on Mengshan Mountain."
Iron Wolf looked at Liu Ling, as if admiring or recalling: "There are beautiful mountains and clear waters." (To be continued)
