In the north, in Youzhou City, the Khitan army is approaching the city.
A knight from the Khitan army slowly drove out, broke away from the Khitan army's formation, and came to the foot of Youzhou City. They were about three hundred steps away from the city wall before they reined in their horses and stopped. This was outside the range of conventional bows and arrows, and the powerful crossbow fired It can be reached if the arrow misses, but it lacks accuracy and strength, so it can be considered a relatively safe area.
This cavalry is very simple. The crossbows, hooks, spears, and hammers that the cavalry often have seem to have been removed. The only thing that is threatening is the saber hanging on the waist.
However, what he was facing now was a towering city wall, and the threat posed by this saber was minimal and non-existent.
Of course, the man on horseback did not intend to use a scimitar to knock down this towering city wall. He stood tall and straight like a pine, looked up at the top of the city wall, and his energy gathered in his dantian.
"I am Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan Khan. I would like to ask General Zhou Dewei to answer!"
"I am Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan Khan. I would like to ask General Zhou Dewei to answer!"
"I am Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan Khan. I would like to ask General Zhou Dewei to answer!"
······
Yelu Abaoji's inner strength is not shallow, his breath is strong and long, and the sound he makes from his Dantian is exceptionally loud and magnificent. Even in the wilderness, it is like overlapping waves, gradually advancing layer by layer, radiating to the city wall and spreading to In the city.
His Central Plains Mandarin was also very standard. The words "General Zhou Dewei and Old General Zhou" were articulated very clearly. Even if the sound was transmitted to the end, these words could be faintly distinguished without distortion.
After a long time, his voice had completely disappeared, and there was still no response from the opposite city wall.
The horse under his crotch snorted a few times impatiently, and switched his left and right feet back and forth several times to relax. However, Yelu Abaoji did not show any impatience at all. His posture was still upright, with a calm expression on his face. , a gentle smile, as if he had just finished shouting.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the noisy wind in the wilderness stirred up dust on the ground. An old man sitting behind the city wall with a sword and a sword stood up.
The wrinkles on his face and the gray beard show the traces that time has left on his body, and the pair of piercing tiger eyes represent that the only thing that time can leave traces on his body is his body.
But even so, the tall figure is still majestic, perfectly supporting the armor and stomach.
This old man is Zhou Dewei, the Grand Master of the Jin Kingdom who guards Youzhou City.
When the Khitan army was still twenty miles away from Youzhou City, the old man had been on the city wall. He could hear Yelu Abaoji's words clearly just now.
However, he did not respond immediately to Yelu Abaoji. It was not because he was arrogant and disdained to pay attention to Yelu Abaoji. He just wanted to show off Yelu Abaoji, stimulate Yelu Abaoji, and dampen Yelu Abaoji's spirit.

While walking, the tiger was full of power. Zhou Dewei came to the entrance of the crenellation, and his tiger eyes instantly locked onto Yelu Abaoji under the city wall.
"I am Zhou Dewei. If you have anything to say, Khitan Khan, please tell me!"
Although these words were polite, they were only polite. They were neither humble nor arrogant, neither good nor evil.
Yelu Abaoji's uncle Yelv Shilu and the late king (Li Keyong) were brothers. The Jin State and the Khitan were considered allies in the past. Before there was a clear separation of faces, even if Yelu Abaoji came to the city with troops, he should be polite. We still have to have it, this is about the face of Jin State.
Just like when Yelu Abaoji just shouted, he was still very polite between the lines.
"The Kingdom of Jin and the Khitan are brothers. This Khan and Brother Siyuan are close friends, comparable to brothers and sisters. Now that the Kingdom of Jin has been plotted by traitors, it has changed its owners twice, and Brother Siyuan died tragically. What can happen to this brother, Brother Siyuan?" You have to avenge Brother Siyuan."
Yelu Abaoji talks about the emotions from Khitan and Jin to him and Li Siyuan, from top to bottom, which is touching, and there seems to be a mixture of regret and anger in his words.
What Yelu Abaoji didn't know was that behind Zhou Dewei, the "traitor" he called was sitting there with his eyes closed and meditating.
"It's not easy for Khan to enter the customs? Why do he have to go through my Youzhou City?"
Zhou Dewei looked at the Khitan army behind Yelu Abao's aircraft and replied in a deep voice.
Yelu Abaoji shook his head and said with worry: "I heard that the traitor who killed my brother Siyuan was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very powerful. If I don't bring more guards, I'm afraid he will be like brother Siyuan." Follow in the footsteps!”
"Hahaha, Khan, there is no need to worry. The Khan is willing to uphold justice for the late king. How can we, the ministers of Jin, not do our best? Khan, just enter Jin with peace of mind. Our Jin army will protect Khan."
Zhou Dewei's heroic laughter may seem heroic, but there is a murderous intention hidden deep in his tiger eyes. It means that he has good Qi cultivation skills at his age, otherwise he would really want to scold him for being shameless.
"Brother Siyuan is the king of Jin, but he can be harmed by a traitor. And now the traitor is still at large. I am afraid that the whole Jin Kingdom is also accomplices of the traitor."
Yelu Abaoji's voice turned from sharp to weak and soft: "Yes, after all, brother Siyuan is just the adopted son of the old King of Jin. I can understand some people who are dissatisfied; I can also understand some people who have evil intentions; I heard that That traitor is the former Tang prince, and it is not impossible for me to understand that General Zhou has his heart set on that traitor. But..."
Yelu Abaoji paused and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling the voice and appearance of his so-called brother Siyuan, but in fact he was brewing emotions. When the emotions were brewed in place, his words became sharp.
"I don't recognize the princes of the former Tang Dynasty. I only recognize friends, siblings, and relatives. The old King Jin and brother Siyuan have taken care of me and the Khitan a lot before. If I can't avenge them, I agree. After this, I will Even millions of Khitan men wouldn’t agree!”
Yelu Abaoji's words seemed to be ejected from his angry chest, and his anger reached the sky. The Khitan army behind him responded immediately.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
······
The Khitan army behind Yelu Abao was definitely not as exaggerated as the millions he said, but there were indeed hundreds of thousands. The hundreds of thousands of troops responded in unison, and the momentum was really huge, like thunder rolling that day.
However, the Mandarin of those Khitan people is really poor. They probably learned it just before they came to Youzhou City. Although they are loud and powerful, they are a bit funny.
When the shouts of the Khitan army completely subsided, Zhou Dewei shouted in a deep voice: "If the Khan wants to come to the Jin Kingdom as a guest, the Jin Kingdom will certainly welcome him, but if he comes to confuse right and wrong, I still advise the Khan to please come back. Although I am dim-sighted, But my mind is not clear yet!"
"Okay! Since the old general is so stubborn, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between Jin and Khitan!"
Yelu Abaoji's acting skills are very good. When he touches his face with the palm of his hand, his sad face turns into a fierce one.
"Siege the city!"
