"Driving~driving~" Xiao Dilie kept urging the war horse, behind him, there was a cavalry of more than 5,000 people, which was also all the cavalry of their forward army, in order to be able to reach Shangjing as soon as possible, Hu Yanqing, as a pioneer officer, gathered 5,000 cavalry in all the forward army and handed it over to Xiao Dilie to lead, so that he could rush to Shangjing as soon as possible, because Hu Yanqing was worried that the Shangjin army would take Shangjing first after knowing that the Liao State surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, so he sent Xiao Dilie to rush overnight, hoping to arrive in Shangjing as soon as possible, so as to support the Liao army in terms of troops.

"Quick! Speed up and be sure to get out of Shangjing by noon tomorrow! Xiao Dilie shouted to the soldiers behind him while urging the horse, they were all riding a pair of horses, one horse was tired of running and the other was changed, and when he was thirsty and hungry, he ate and drank directly on the horse, which was also thanks to the strict training of the Song army, and the cavalry was trained with reference to the standards of the nomads.

However, just as Xiao Dilie and the others were speeding up, they suddenly saw that the road ahead was dusty, and obviously a large number of men and horses were approaching, which made him immediately roar: "The whole army stops advancing, prepare for battle!" ”

With Xiao Dilie's order, all the cavalry began to organize the team, and drew out their weapons to prepare for battle, and after a while, I saw the prospecting horse in front of him rushing to report loudly: "General Qiyu, a remnant army of Liao has been found ahead!" ”

"The remnants of the Liao Army?" Xiao Dilie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then he secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly urged the army to step forward, but after a while, he saw an army rushing towards him on the road passing through the woods, and when he saw this army. He finally understood why Tanma said they were remnants.

I saw that the number of this Liao army was about 2,000, and all of them were wearing the clothes and armor of the Liao army, but these people were extremely embarrassed, most of the armor and clothes were tattered and crooked, and many weapons in the hands of the Liao army were also discarded, and the banner that should represent identity was only a single single. The flags on it had long since known where they had gone, and these Liao troops were all panicked, as if they were being chased by someone, obviously they were a Liao army that had just been defeated by the enemy.

Seeing the remnant army of the Liao State in front, before Xiao Dilie could speak, he saw a horse running out of the opponent's army, and immediately a middle-aged official of the Liao State asked with a surprised face: "Is the Song army ahead?" ”

Seeing this Liao State official who ran out, Xiao Dilie was stunned, because the other party was still his acquaintance. At that moment, I saw him step forward and arch his hand: "Yes, I didn't expect to be able to see Xiao Linya here, Xiao is polite here!" ”

"You...... You are General Xiao Xiao! The middle-aged official couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw Xiao Dilie, Xiao Yanshou's prestige in the army is extremely high, and most people are used to calling him General Xiao, and Xiao Dilie, as his son, has quite military talents, so people who know Xiao Dilie are used to calling him General Xiao. And this middle-aged official who spoke was an acquaintance of their father and son, Monk Xiao of the bureau.

"I didn't expect Xiao Linya to recognize Xiao. I don't know where Xiao Linya came from and where he is going? Xiao Dilie smiled indifferently at this time and said, Monk Xiao is one of the few officials in the court who is not attached to Yelu Yixin, and he has some friendship with his father Xiao Yanshou, and he has seen each other a few times before, so he can recognize it at a glance.

Monk Xiao looked at Xiao Dilie. looked at the Song army behind him again, and then finally remembered that Xiao Dilie seemed to have taken refuge in the Great Song Dynasty a long time ago, and now it seems that the other party's status in the Song army is not low, and he can personally lead so many cavalry. In particular, although the cavalry of the Song army did not make an offensive posture, they could still feel the murderous spirit, like a fierce tiger that chooses people to eat, and this momentum alone is enough to make people feel frightened.

But now is not the time to catch up with the past, after Monk Xiao confirmed that Xiao Dilie was the Song army, he immediately showed an ecstatic expression and said: "General Xiao, we have just escaped from Shangjing, and Your Majesty is also in our army, but there is a Jurchen cavalry in the rear chasing us, and their numbers are more than ours, please General Xiao must protect Your Majesty's safety!" ”

Hearing that Yelujun was also in this remnant army, Xiao Dilie's face couldn't help but sink, after all, although his father did not die directly at the hands of Yelujun, he also had an inseparable relationship with Yelujun, so he didn't have any good feelings for Yelujun, but he could also distinguish between public and private, and knew that Yelujun was still useful to the Great Song Dynasty, so in the end, he nodded with a calm face and said: "Xiao Linya, don't worry, since you have surrendered to my Great Song Dynasty, then it is also the people of my Great Song Dynasty, and I, as a Song general, will naturally guarantee your safety!" ”

"Thank you, General Xiao!" Monk Xiao also heard the dissatisfaction in Xiao Enemy's words, and immediately sighed and thanked him, for Xiao Yanshou's matter, he also knew that it was the Liao State that was sorry for their father and son, so Xiao Enemy Lie was angry and took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, he also felt that it was excusable, and even when Yelu Jun in the army behind saw that the Song general in front of him turned out to be Xiao Enemylie, he felt that he had no face to see him for a while, so he simply stayed in the army and did not come out, and everything was handed over to Monk Xiao to deal with.

These two days were like a nightmare for Yelu Jun, that night Ye Lu Yu led the army to make a rebellion in the city, not only killed his most dependent Yelu Yixin, but also opened the city gate to let the Jin army into the city, and when he reacted under the reminder of Monk Xiao, he took the concubines and princes to escape from the palace, but found that the Jin army had been killed outside the palace and began to attack the palace gate, which made the situation facing Yelu Jun more critical.

However, at this critical moment, the Han general Zhang Lin actually led the army to rescue, speaking of which, there are not only Khitans in the Liao army, but there are also people of other nationalities, among which the Han nationality is the largest ethnic group in Liao, and there are naturally many Han generals in the Han army, but the Liao State has always been not good at dealing with inter-ethnic problems, resulting in sharp ethnic contradictions in the country, and the same is true in the army, for example, the Khitan generals have always been very squeezing out the Han generals, and the Liao State is a country established by the Khitans after all, so the Han generals are also easily suppressed in the army.

Zhang Lin is the best among the Han generals, once led the Han military camp to help the Liao State quell many rebellions, and even before Yelu Jun drove his own expedition to attack the Huanglong Mansion, Zhang Lin was one of the main generals, but unfortunately later because of Ye Lu Jun's reasons for the defeat, Ye Lu Jun is the emperor, he must not bear the charge of defeat, so someone needs to take the blame, as a result, Zhang Lin because he is a Han general, was pushed out by other Khitan generals to take this crime, fortunately Ye Lu Jun knew that Zhang Lin was talented and loyal, so he was just demotedLater, the Jin army came, and Zhang Lin also entered the capital to defend.

Although Zhang Lin was wronged, he has always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Liao State, especially to Yelujun is even more loyal, speaking of which there is a relationship in this, because Zhang Lin was once a general under Yelurenxian, one of which was responsible for escorting grain and grass, but because of the heavy rain in the sky, the grain and grass were sold and could not be eaten, Yeluren first ruled the army very strictly, and he was about to behead Zhang Lin in anger, fortunately, Yelujun was also in the army at that time, and after knowing this, he stopped Yeluren first, thus saving Zhang Lin's life, This also made Zhang Lin desperate for Yelujun, and even in his opinion, helping Yelujun bear the charge of defeat before was also to do his duty as a courtier.

Zhang Lin was responsible for guarding a section of the city wall in the north of the city, and he had also faced the attack of the Jin army before, and he once led the army to repel the eight attacks of the Jin army in one day, which can be said to be a high achievement. When today's rebellion occurred, he was inspecting the city, and when he saw the chaos in the city, he immediately organized soldiers and horses to enter the city to quell the rebellion, but unfortunately his position was not high at this time, and he was able to mobilize only 3,000 cavalry, and when he entered the city, he found that the rebellion in the city was not something he could quell at all, and finally even the Jin army entered the city and began to attack the palace gate.

Seeing this emergency, Zhang Lin immediately made a correct judgment and led his cavalry to disperse the Jin army that attacked the palace gate, and thanks to the small number of Jin troops who killed the palace at this time, he easily rushed into the palace.

Ye Lujun saw Zhang Lin come to the rescue, and he was also moved to tears at that time, just as the so-called time has seen people's hearts, and then he regretted his original decision. However, Zhang Lin didn't care at all, and at the moment he escorted Yelujun and his family out of the palace, and went straight to the city gate, he also knew that Shangjing would definitely not be able to defend it at this time, but he must protect Yelujun's safety.

It can be regarded as Yelujun's luck, although the Jin army entered the city to stir up chaos in the capital, but at the same time, it also covered Yelujun's whereabouts very well, making them easily kill out of the city gate. But Ah Gu Da has already arranged, and when Yelu Jun left the city and hurried to the south, there was a sudden ambush in front of him, and it turned out that Ah Gu Da had expected that if someone in the city escaped, he would definitely go south to the Great Song Dynasty, so he had already set up an ambush here.

Yelujun They only cared about fleeing for their lives, and they didn't expect that there was an ambush in front of them, but they were caught off guard and killed, and the other party's troops were more than them, so Yelujun They couldn't resist at all, fortunately, at the last moment, Zhang Lin took the initiative to ask to stay to contain the Jin army, which allowed Yelujun to lead the rest of the army to escape, but the news of Zhang Lin's death soon came from the rear, and then the Jin army has been chasing them until today.
