The gates of Youzhou City were opened wide, and a horseman galloped out of the city and headed straight for the Khitan military camp outside the city.
As they approached the military camp, Khitan soldiers on patrol immediately noticed the presence of the cavalry. Just as they were about to shout, they were stopped by the squad leader. The stopped soldier was about to ask the captain why he was stopping him.
He raised his eyes and saw the person coming, who seemed to be their general marshal. The doubts in his heart disappeared. He swallowed the words that had already left his throat and reached his lips. He looked at the captain who stopped him with some luck, and his eyes were full of gratitude.
The squad leader made a fist with his right hand and placed it against his heart, bowed from a distance and saluted: "Generalissimo!"
Yelu Yaoguang, the Grand Marshal of the Khitan Army, seemed to have noticed these patrolling soldiers. However, he had no intention of stopping or slowing down. He raised his riding whip and whipped the mount under him fiercely. At the same time, he raised his head Shouted: "Open the camp gate!"
"yes!"
The squad leader of the patrol team responded respectfully while maintaining a saluting posture, and then quickly called on his subordinates to move away from the horse-rejecting stakes that served as the camp gate.
The two large Juma stakes were not completely moved away. Yelu Yaoguang couldn't wait to rush in from the gap. The soldiers carrying the Juma stakes only felt a gust of wind blowing from the side. After coming back to their senses, the horses' hoofs The sound gradually faded away, and everyone looked at the captain.
The captain hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Close it! Close it! Be prepared to open the door at any time!"
However, what he didn't understand was that the Generalissimo led his army to conquer Youzhou City. He should be enjoying the fruits of victory in the city at this moment. Why did he suddenly return to camp in a hurry?
Could it be said that the Jin army has fought back again?
Thinking of this, the team leader couldn't help but look in the direction of Youzhou City with vigilance. His expression suddenly became serious. He turned to look at the soldiers and said in a very serious tone: "Tonight, please keep your eyes bright. If there is any unusual movement, immediately alert you, do you understand?"
"I understand!"
All the soldiers immediately responded in unison, but the soldier who had spotted Yelu Yaoguang made a strange sound: "If it were like the situation with the Generalissimo just now..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the squad leader: "Shut up, you idiot with no eyesight!"
"oh······"
The man lowered his head in grievance.
Yelu Yaoguang did not restrain himself at all when he entered the military camp. He was still galloping through the military camp with his superb riding skills!
Riding horses is definitely not allowed in the military camp, but who made him the generalissimo?
And looking at him looking so anxious, as if he was worried about something big and couldn't be delayed, who dared to say anything more?
Your neck feels a little tired and you want to take off your head and rest for a while?
However, Yelu Yaoguang's galloping did not last long. After all, he was not just riding for fun. He was really in a hurry and stopped when he reached the Chinese army's tent.
He turned over and dismounted, and rushed towards the camp, but was stopped by the guard at the entrance of the camp.
"Generalissimo, please stop, we need to inform the Khan!"
Yelu Yaoguang is the Khitan's general marshal of the world's troops. Logically speaking, he is the master of the Chinese army's tent.
Only this time, Khitan Khan Yelu Abaoji personally went on the expedition just to train his son Yelu Yaoguang, so he gave Yelu Yaoguang the position of Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses.
Although Yelu Yaoguang led the army in the battle, the highest decision-making power of the army was still in the hands of Khan Yelu Abaoji. Yelu Yaoguang was not so much the generalissimo, but more accurately positioned as the general who led the army in the battle.
Yelv Yaoguang, who was stopped by the guard, did not wait for the guard to come in and report. He clenched his right fist close to his heart and bowed to salute: "Father, Yao Guang wants to see you!"
His voice was loud and could easily resound throughout the camp.
The guard who was about to report froze slightly and silently returned to his original position.
"come in!"
After a while, a deep voice came from the camp. The sound line and timbre were about 80% similar to Yelu Yaoguang.
After receiving the reply from the tent owner, the guard at the entrance of the tent quickly changed his actions and turned around to lift the door curtain for Yelu Yaoguang.
Yelu Yaoguang looked anxious and walked into the camp at a fast pace.
The most conspicuous thing in the camp is the huge sand table, with mountains and rivers on it, which is quite spectacular.
At the end of the sand table, a man with a Khitan hairstyle was leaning on the edge of the sand table, his left hand hugging his chest, his right elbow resting on his palm, and his right hand rubbing his chin, looking thoughtfully. Map on the wall.
"My little boy, Yao Guang, has seen his father Khan!"
Yelu Yaoguang came to the end of the sand table and saluted the man.
Obviously, this is Yelu Abaoji!
"Shouldn't you be in the city now?"
Yelu Abaoji turned around, put his hands on the edge of the sand table, looked at Yelu Abaoji and asked.
Yelu Yaoguang fell to his knees with a "Peng" sound: "Father, the child is here to plead guilty!"
"Excuse me? What are you guilty of?"
Yelu Abaoji looked at Yelu Yaoguang who was kneeling on the ground in confusion, but had no intention of letting him get up.
"After the city was broken, Boyer repeatedly stated that if there was no resistance, there would be no more killings. However, many of the soldiers in the army were wild and difficult to discipline. After entering the city, they disobeyed military discipline and burned, killed and looted all the way. Boyer had to kill some of the soldiers as a warning to others! "
Yelu Yaoguang knelt on the ground and said loudly.
"How many were killed?"
Yelu Abaoji did not get angry, but asked calmly, as if he was not surprised by this matter.
"More than two thousand three hundred!"
Yelu Yaoguang blurted out without thinking. He had obviously made statistics before coming, or he had already done the counting when he killed these people.
"Why are there so many?"
Yelu Abaoji frowned tightly. He expected that someone would be killed without military discipline as a warning to others.
They, the Khitan, make a living on the grassland after all. Without a little bit of wildness, they cannot dominate the grassland. Looking at the Central Plains.
】
It’s just that this number is too big!
You must know that these are just those who were killed as a warning to others. It is not known how many people actually disobey military discipline and act in disorder.
If in the past, it was just for the purpose of plundering, there is nothing wrong with doing so. Take away those who can be taken away, burn those who cannot be taken away, capture those who can be captured, and kill those who cannot be captured. This is People on the grasslands have a consistent attitude towards the Central Plains.
But they are different. They came out in force this time in order to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. They wanted to establish an empire that belonged to them in the Central Plains. If they still maintained their previous style, how could they take over the Central Plains?
They behave like locusts crossing the border. Who dares to surrender in the cities that follow?
How long did they attack Youzhou City?
If they didn't defend every city to the end, how far could they go south?
Therefore, they need to change their image and let the people of the Central Plains know that they are not wolves and beasts, and they are no different from the princes of the Central Plains.
You can survive by taking refuge in them and becoming their people!
