Xiao Lugu thought about it for a while, and finally figured out why he was still alive... He was relatively thin among the Khitan people, and in the space formed by the two dead horses falling to the ground side by side, he was lucky
Survived.
The so-called luck means that there is no universality.
Xiao Lugu knew that not many people survived the so-called breakout that night.
The rebels, who numbered less than 20,000, had no hope of survival facing hundreds of thousands of imperial troops.
Even in the last time, the king still designed to trick all the rebel soldiers. Xiao Lugu felt that the king would also be killed.
Because, if the king has not been killed, the court will carefully search all the corpses on the battlefield. Unless the king is definitely killed, the court will no longer care about the dead bodies on the battlefield... Waiting for the wolves to clean up
battlefield.
Xiao Lugu remembered that he was still carrying a water bag, as well as the particularly sweet military rations from the Song Dynasty. One piece was enough, enough for him to eat. Unfortunately, Xiao Lugu still knew that, and now he can't move...
·The howling of wolves outside means that it is late at night.
I really want to drink some water and eat some solid food... I can't move. Xiao Lugu feels that if he moves even a little bit, he may suffer a disaster...
The Shangguan of the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty once said that survival is the first need. No matter whether he is a good person or a bad person, he must be alive first.
Xiao Lugu is now a living person, a living person who has managed to survive. Thinking about Bianliang's wife and children, Xiao Lugu feels that he should be more cautious.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Lugu woke up again. When he opened his eyes, there was light... It was dawn.
Xiao Lugu moved his body, as if the two horses squeezing him were no longer so heavy. He first pulled up the water bag, took a sip, and the threads were moistened...
The military rations of the Song Dynasty were very sweet. Xiao Lugu chewed them, ate the dry rations, and sipped a few sips of water. He even forgot to push away the crowded horses and stand up.
Just like this, Xiao Lugu was lying in a small space. At this time, he felt very beautiful and happy... He was still alive.
After eating the dry food, he seemed to have some strength. Xiao Lugu pushed and pushed away easily... It was not that he was strong, but that the horses that squeezed him were the only ones left at this time.
There is not much meat left, almost only the skeleton is left.
It was already early summer, and the weather was a little hot, but the horse meat still didn't stink. Although the exposed horse meat was not very fresh, it had not completely turned into carrion... Xiao Lugu judged that the war had only been over for three or four days.
.
Xiao Lugu remembered that before the war, their rebels were forced by the imperial army to the Bailing area of Fengsheng Prefecture. The reason why the king broke out to the northwest was because if he fled another two to three hundred miles northwest, he would reach the original Xijing of Liao Dynasty.
, which is now the boundary of Yunzhou Prefecture in the Song Dynasty.
As long as they cross Yehuling, they will be safe... At this time, Song State should no longer accept them.
Xiao Lugu didn't know whether the Song Congress would accept the king, but he, Xiao Lugu, would definitely be accepted because he had long been a detective of the Imperial City Department.
There is no way. His eldest son was sent to the Song Dynasty by the king to work as a craftsman. Now he has become a master craftsman in Zhending Mansion. He has already married and established a business, and he has grandchildren.
The younger son, who has been smart since he was a child, is also particularly interested in the culture of the Song Dynasty. Even the Han officials in the Liao Dynasty have praised him.
When their rebels hid in the Song Defense Area, their eldest son came to find him, along with his daughter-in-law and grandson... Xiao Lugu struggled with whether he was loyal to the king and the tribe or to his children and grandchildren, and in the end he was his grandson's grandfather.
, and made him agree to the investigation by the Imperial City Secretary of the Song Dynasty.
Because of this, he got the opportunity for his wife and younger son to move to Bianliang. It was even said that the eldest son's family would also move to Bianliang.
Nothing captures the heart more than this.
Xiao Lugu once felt depressed, but now, he is a little grateful for his choice.
He touched the wooden sign hidden in his underwear... The Shangguan of the Imperial City Department said that as long as he brought this wooden sign with him, he could pass the customs and be received at the designated place after arriving at all the state capitals of the Song Dynasty.
After many years of herding life, Xiao Lugu quickly found the direction, southwest. From then on, going southwest, he could reach the Yunzhou Prefecture of the Song Dynasty.
One thing Xiao Lugu knows is that the border at this time is probably raging with war. Even if there is no actual fighting, the border should be heavily guarded.
I am afraid that both Song and Liao countries have deployed large armies on their borders. How to escape to Song smoothly, Xiao Lugu needs a plan...
After five days of walking day and night, Xiao Lugu could already see the top of Yehu Ridge. Similarly, he also saw the five continuous camps of the Daliao Army to the north of Yehu Ridge.
The news that their rebels had been annihilated should have no meaning to the Song State at this time.
Xiao Lugu still wanted to make meritorious deeds, and the treatment would definitely be different when he went to the Song Dynasty with useful information and without any information.
Although Xiao Lugu has always been a pawn, he has participated in many wars and is familiar with the Liao's troop formations and camp layouts.
To the north of Yehuling, Daliao's camp was twenty or thirty miles away from the mountain. This distance ensured that when the Song team arrived at the foot of Yehuling Mountain, Daliao's cavalry could directly attack the Song team before they had a stable foothold.
Come directly to the charge.
Yehu Ridge is very large, and it seems that Daliao's military camp is not enough to defend the entire Yehu Ridge defense line. It is only deployed at important passes...
Xiao Lugu was very cautious. Even when he was watching the military camp, he did so from a safe distance.
Two more days later, Xiao Lugu did not have much food. The entire military camp in Daliao was fortified. Xiao Lugu probably saw the entire outline... The tents were very large, but Xiao Lugu judged that the military camp was
The actual cavalry inside definitely does not fit the size of the camp.
At this time of year, although war horses also need food, the green grass on the ground is the most suitable food for war horses in this season.
In the past two days, the amount of horses that were walked out of the camp and allowed to eat grass was completely out of proportion to the size of the camp.
Xiao Lugu often heard about the situation in Daliao even if he didn't know it very well. Daliao definitely didn't have that much fodder for war...
What's more, it has been nearly two years since the king's uprising. In the past two years, even if the tribes of Daliao had some reserves, they have almost been exhausted.
Maybe this news will be useful to the Song Dynasty.
At this point, Daliao would definitely not be able to stay. Xiao Lugu thought that if he could enter the Song Dynasty with his merits, it didn't matter whether he could do a certain job. He was tired of the war. With his merits, there should be benefits.
have.
Whether it is the Liao Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, the defense of Yehuling is to defend important passes, or in other words, to deploy defenses at places where large numbers of teams can pass.
It is impossible to defend every part of such a large Yehu Ridge.
Xiao Lugu is just a person, he should be able to pass Yehuling no matter what...
