Pine desert. Fastest updates

Khitan royal court.

Outside the tent, the defenders stood silently, bowing their heads and not daring to act rashly.

In the sweat tent, the wine cups containing mare's milk wine were scattered all over the ground.

Several of them got stuck in the carpet, and it was clear that someone had done it on purpose.

Murong Xiu was dressed in a military uniform, standing respectfully on the left side of the tent, bowing his head and not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Not long ago, the messenger sent back bad news from the front line, the wolf cavalry led by Movol suffered a surprise attack by three Tang armies, plus the night attack on the Tang army a few days ago, and the troops were almost completely killed and wounded.

When Jeruyao heard the news, he was furious in the tent, and the messenger who delivered the letter was slaughtered by him with a sword.

A female dependent who served tea and wine was also hacked to death by Yeluyao.

At this time, the smell of blood in the sweat tent was permeated, and the atmosphere was cold and cold.

Whoever dares to provoke Yelu Yao is simply asking for his own death.

Yelu Yao reclined on the soft couch, crumpled letters in his hands, his slashed face as cold as ice, like a frozen stone statue, but full of a thick murderous aura.

However, on the 10th, more than 70,000 wolf riders on the front line were lost.

Seventy thousand!

Occupy the wolf and ride two percent!

The tide of battle changed so quickly that it was the exact opposite of what he expected.

Now, one of the two wolf horsemen encountered a night attack by the Tang army, and it was almost wiped out, scattered with less than 10,000 people. The other team is fully organized, but under the influence of the Movol Division, the wolf rider has a low momentum and a weak fighting spirit.

The Tang army was stationed near Youzhou, and did not cross Pinglu to move closer to the Song Desert, and the wolf cavalry in the south had lost more than half.

If the Tang army slowly moves towards the pine desert, Wang Ting is in a dangerous situation!

At that time, it was not known how many wolf riders had died in battle.

The bad news was transmitted back to the royal court, and the soldiers and people of the Yelu Department were panicked one by one, for fear that the Tang army would enter the royal court.

Several generals dared to come to ask questions, but they were scolded by him and expelled from the sweat tent.

Now the atmosphere in the royal court is weird, and people's hearts are unstable.

Even, some people weirdly spread rumors, the Tang Dynasty will not be killed, and those who stubbornly resist will die.

The battlefield was defeated, the royal court was turbulent, and the Tang army was eyeing each other, all kinds of disadvantages had a very big impact on the Khitan.

Boom!

When the sweat tent was quiet, Yelu Yao sat up suddenly, struck the desk with an iron fist, got up from the cushion and walked to the screen where the map was hung, and stood with his hands in his hands, staring intently.

After a long time, he asked aloud: "Murong Xiu, if you send an elite army to bypass Pinglu and Youzhou, enter Hedong Dao, and approach Datang Duji Dao, how likely is it?" ”

Hearing this, Murong Xiu didn't know how to answer.

He really didn't know how to answer.

Let's be honest, Jerry may not have listened, and what happened to the messenger is a lesson from the past.

If he does not answer, I do not know what Jeremiah will do with him.

For a moment, I couldn't help but sink ...

After a long time, Yelu Yao found that Murong Xiu did not speak, turned around and glanced at the other party, and his voice was slightly gentle: "There is no one else here, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The messenger knew that the front line was defeated, and when he arrived at the royal court, he made a big publicity, causing everyone in the royal court to know that the front line was unfavorable.

Shouldn't such fools be killed?

The lady happened to see him kill the messenger, and she was to blame, but she had come at the wrong time.

At this time, there were only their monarchs and ministers, and Yelu Yao wanted to hear Murong Xiu's views on the situation.

When Murong Xiu thought for a while, he dared to ask: "Wang, Guannei Road, Hedong Road, where is it closer to Chang'an?" Gyeonggi Province, Dugi Province, where is more important to Datang? ”

Yelu Yao didn't answer, and motioned for Murong Xiu to continue.

"In the summer, the Turkic general, the prince, led the army to the south, trying to occupy the Guannei Road and enter Chang'an in a lightning speed, and the result..."Murong Xiu did not say the result, and continued: "Hedong Road, far away from Chang'an, Luoyang, is far less important to the Tang Dynasty than Chang'an. The most critical thing is to send elite cavalry to Hedong Road, which will inevitably attract more Tang army retaliation, perhaps the wolf cavalry has just captured Mayi, and the Tang army will kill the royal court from all directions. ”

Murong Xiu cautiously said his thoughts.

With the confrontation between the two armies, people in the royal court have been panicking recently, and all tribes have been fighting in the woods.

Today, the bad news came back from the front line, and the people in the royal court were panicked, and if the news spread, the entire Khitan would be in a panic.

If it weren't for Yeluyao's great prestige in the Khitan, at present, the Khitan would have fallen apart.

However, if the front line could not win a great victory and the Tang army could not be expelled, it would be impossible to win the hearts of the people for a long time with Yeluyao's prestige alone.

At that time, the Khitan was still defeated.

He suspected that even if Yelu Yao killed the tribal leader who suggested surrendering to Tang, at that time, there would still be a leader who would surrender to Tang for the safety of his clansmen.

When Yelu Yao heard this, his face became more and more depressed, his clenched fists creaked, and he muttered, "Isn't there a better way?" ”

"King Khan, the Tang Dynasty has closed the border trade places, and there are no merchants coming to Songdesert." Murong Xiu didn't know how to answer Yelu Yao's words, so he simply reported to him the news he had just gotten.

"Datang forbids trade with the Khitan, right?" Ye Lu Yao asked, his face a little cold.

Murong Xiu bowed his head silently, for fear that King Khan would suddenly go berserk.

Sure enough, Yelu Yao learned that the Tang Dynasty was no longer trading with the Khitan, and suddenly shouted: "Yang Yue, who has suffered a thousand knives, is clearly going to starve to death and freeze the people of the tribe to death." ”

The army fought and consumed a lot of food, but the Khitan did not have enough food, and in winter, the people's lives were afraid that they would not have a good time.

Even if you slaughter cattle and sheep to survive the long winter, what will happen in the coming year?

There is not enough food, and the food and salary of the soldiers of the three armed forces have become a problem.

Even, it is impossible to survive the long winter.

Yeluyao sank for a long time, as if thinking about something, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Murong Xiu, can you send a fast horse to catch up with Yeluqing and ask him to suggest that Anthony provide food to the tribe." ”

In the vast wilderness, only Sasanian, thousands of miles away, seemed to be barely able to help the tribe.

Even if the road is long, even if there is little hope, it is better to have food than not to have food.

"King Khan, this matter is not easy to do, the eldest prince went to Sasanian, and encountered many small units of cavalry of the Tang army along the way, many gold, silver and jewelry were robbed, and the mission was also scattered by the Tang cavalry and killed. According to reliable sources, the Grand Prince changed his course and headed north, making a detour to Sasansan. Murong Xiu reported that when he came to the sweat tent, he reported the matter to Yelu Yao.

Hearing this, Yelu Yao walked towards the sweat seat in despair, looking listless, and in front of the behemoth of Datang, no matter what conspiracy and trickery, he looked pale.

Yeluqing's traces are leaked, the Tang Dynasty must be vigilant, and Yeluqing folded, this back and forth took nearly a month, according to the current situation, maybe the Sassanid reinforcements have not arrived, and the Khitan has perished.

Yelu Yao was heartbroken, and he had a feeling that he should not be able to do it every day, that the earth was not spiritual, and that he had been abandoned.

Murong Xiu took two or three steps forward, looked at Yelu Yao cautiously, and said cautiously: "King Khan, there is a saying, the last general doesn't know whether to say it or not?" ”
