As soon as the envoys from Shuozhou and Huanzhou came back, Yelu Zhanlie and Yelu Diqi got together to discuss.
Yelu Diqi bit off a piece of mutton leg meat, and while chewing it, he said vaguely to Yelu Zhanlie: "The Great Khan is not dead, what should we do?"
"Let's wait and pass this news to His Highness King Dongdan first, and wait for His Highness King Dongdan to make a decision!"
Yelu Zhanlie took a sip of wine. He didn't have any good countermeasures. After all, this kind of thing still depends on the attitude of King Dongdan.
If King Dongdan doesn't express his position, then the Great Khan is really dead. What can they do? Can we still rebel on this southern expedition? That is tantamount to digging your own grave!
Those new recruits may think that Jin is just a bunch of local chickens, but old people like them know how powerful Jin's Shatuo cavalry is.
The reason why they were able to capture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun so easily was because they never encountered the real elite of the Jin State, the invincible Shatuo Cavalry led by Li Cunxu.
The Jin State is hiding in silence at the moment, and it is definitely harboring some conspiracy!
Perhaps, they are just waiting for civil strife in Khitan!
"How to delay? The Great Khan's order is for us to release the people, and the arrows have been caught!"
Yelu Diqi was a little irritated and slapped the command arrow on the table.
As a supporter of Yelu Bei, he certainly did not want Yelu Yaoguang, a strong contender for the throne, to return to Khitan and die in Taiyuan.
"Then let's release them first. It will take time for these people to move south, long enough to wait for His Highness King Dongdan to reply. By then, if His Highness King Dongdan acquiesces to Yelu Yaoguang's return, we will do nothing. But if King Dongdan His Highness does not want Yelu Yaoguang to come back..."
Yelu Zhanlie's voice paused slightly, and a fierce light bloomed in his eyes: "We just went to intercept and kill these people. I don't believe that Yelu Yaoguang can still come back after saying one thing and doing another!"
"What a great idea. I'll go back and organize the people of Huanzhou to move south!"
Yelu Diqi's eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed the order arrow on the table and stood up suddenly, eager to go back and execute it.
At this moment, behind Yelu Zhanlie, a guard could not help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
However, Yelu Diqi, who was in a hurry to leave, suddenly stopped and returned to the table to sit down. He looked at Yelu Zhanlie and asked, "Then do we still want to send troops to Yunzhou? If we send troops there, we will definitely not be able to come back. of!"
They don't have many troops stationed in the two states. If they send 10,000 troops from each of them to Yingzhou's army of hundreds of thousands, they will be able to see a splash.
What happens after that? There is absolutely no hair left to be found.
Yelv Ganlie stroked his beard, thought for a while and then said: "Don't worry, we have a mission after all. Let's see what Yelu Haili, Yelu Pode and Yelu Haili say first. If they are unwilling to send troops, , we will gather together 10,000 troops and send them over when the time comes!"
"If they don't send troops, we have to send people over!"
Yelu Dici pouted and was a little dissatisfied. In the end, he still had to send people over, and that was all he had.
"You know nothing!"
Yelu Zhanlie glared at Yelu Diqi, and said helplessly: "How do you think we got so much food and grass in our hands? It must have come from the people of Yelu Yaoguang's lineage, Yingzhou Why can't those hundreds of thousands of troops stand up to Yelvsu and the others? Isn't it easy to take advantage of us?"
"What's the difference between whether they send troops or not? We still have to send people over, so we might as well just send troops over to avoid being in a dilemma!"
Yelu Diqi was still a little dissatisfied, mainly because he felt that Yelu Zhanlie's words did make sense. They had too few soldiers and horses, and if they really wanted to fight, they would not be able to compete with the army that had already arrived at Yunzhou City. army.
"If they send troops in Yelvhai, we will go there in person and ask to see the Great Khan. I always feel that there is something wrong with the Great Khan!"
After breathing a long sigh of relief, Yelu Zhanlie told Yelu Dici his suspicions.
"What problem can Dahan have?"
Yelu Zhanlie suddenly said this, Yelu Diqi was a little confused, he
The envoys they sent there had all met the Great Khan, how could they be wrong?
"I have received the latest information. Yingzhou's army was severely damaged in Hunyuan County, Yunzhou. Now they can only camp outside Yunzhou City. They have lost the confidence to attack the city."
Yelu Zhanlie took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yelu Dici. After Yelu Dici took the letter and read it, he also showed a suspicious look: "You mean..."
Halfway through his words, Yelu Diqi looked around cautiously.
This was the place chosen by Yelv Ganlie, but his scruples were much less.
"If it was Khan, how could he be severely injured by the thieves from Yunzhou in Hunyuan County?"
Yelu Diqi's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Then do we need to inform Yelusu and the others?"
"They should also have thought that if we informed them, it would be easy to alert them!"
Yelu Zhanlie shook his head. Their situation was very delicate. If the Yingzhou army captured Yunzhou City, the spearhead would be directed at them immediately.
"Understood!"
Yelu Dici nodded.
······
Outside the city of Yuzhou, large armies were surrounding them. The troops from Youzhou, Zhuozhou, Mozhou, Yingzhou and other state capitals gathered together, with nearly 100,000 troops. Yelu Haili had a headache when he saw them.
If they really attacked the city, things would be much simpler. It would just be these people who rebelled.
But they just besieged but did not attack, begging for food and grass. Yelu Haili had nothing to do. He did have a lot more food and grass in Yuzhou than usual. King Dongdan's method of dealing with Yelu Yaoguang's family was to roast them on the fire. , but the situation of Dahan is unclear at this moment.
Just as Yelu Zhanlie saw something was wrong with Yingzhou's army, Yelu Haili also saw it. They were all old men who followed the Great Khan, so they naturally knew what the Great Khan was capable of.
"Why"
Looking back at the direction of Yunzhou, Yelu Haili let out a long sigh, and immediately said to the guards beside him: "Transport the prepared food and grass out of the city, and ask some generals to come into the city to talk!"
"yes!"
The guard retreated in response.
At the same time, this scene is also happening in Xinzhou and Wuzhou. The pressure there is much less than that of Yuzhou, but the troops there are also much smaller than that of Yuzhou.
After inviting the generals of Yelu Yaoguang's line into the city, Yelu Haili, Yelu Pode, Yelu Su and others conveyed the Great Khan's order and expressed their willingness to share food and grass and go to Yunzhou together, but most of their troops in these state capitals We must return to continue to guard the states, especially Zhuozhou, Mozhou, and Yingzhou, and we need to focus on guarding against Jin's counterattack.
After all, that force in Yunzhou can only be from Jin!
