Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

An army is coming! When everyone heard the news, they could only temporarily put aside the idea of ​​catching the assassin.Without waiting for Xiao Pidi's order, the warriors of the clan rushed out of the camp and stood ready.Surrounded by the crowd, Yeluzong really stepped out of the tent, but saw the dust and smoke rising in the distance, rushing towards Xiaohan, burning half of the sky yellow. The yellow cloud surged and rushed towards this direction quickly. Not long after, I saw a black line gushing out from the end of the grassland.The black line is getting wider and wider, like a sea tide, blowing all the grass and dying the flag.Immediately afterwards, the sound of horseshoes rumbling, as tight as a war drum.A team of more than a thousand people has already killed in this direction.

Xiao Pidi recognized the flag of the Wula tribe, and said with a sneer, "They really overestimated their capabilities..." He was brave and good at fighting, and he didn't take the Wula tribe into his eyes at all, so he waited for the call to fight and sent troops.I don't want to see that before the Wula tribe rushed to the front, two teams of soldiers and horses flew out from the left and right hands of the Wula tribe. The soldiers and horses of the three routes gathered together, and at a rough look, there were at least seven or eight thousand people. Xiao Pidi's face changed slightly, thinking that the Holy Majesty had fled for his life so far, and there were only a few bodyguards left by his side.There are only a hundred members of the Byrd clan, and Di Qing's subordinates are only a few dozen people. Including all the warriors in the clan, there are less than two thousand.Such manpower and escorts are insufficient, let alone defeating the enemy.

Xiao Pojia saw that the situation was not good, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Uncle Guo, the defense should be the main priority at the moment." In fact, he didn't need to say, the warriors in the clan had long shouted, pushed carts and transported wood, and stopped at the camp Before, prepare to fend off the onslaught of your opponent. Di Qing saw the opponent's arrogance, frowned and said: "No, Feiying just left, and the opponent rushed over immediately. He obviously knew that Feiying's assassination plan had not been completed, so he came here to force me to break through with arrogance. In my opinion, when It is best to find a warrior and lead an elite army to attack the opponent head-on, and escort the Holy One to break through."

When Di Qing encountered a strong enemy, he immediately turned his mind like two armies facing each other, looking for the opponent's flaws. Although Xiao Pidi used it, he could see that there were many opponents, so it was not impossible to secretly want to rush out, but how could he be so risky with the body of the Holy One?Seeing that Di Qing was handsome, he looked down on Di Qing, but just now he saw Di Qing's single-handed savior, with superb martial arts, he was grateful, and he also got to know Di Qing again.But in the current situation, he can only think carefully. "Now that the enemy is raging, Your Majesty shouldn't take such risks. As long as we stand firm and repel the opponent's intruders. The courtiers here know that His Majesty is in danger, and will definitely come to support. When the time comes, the rebels will naturally retreat."

Yeluzong really looked a little hesitant, looked at Di Qing, then at Xiao Pidi, and said after a while: "General Di is brave and invincible, it's a good strategy when he thinks about it. But what Uncle Xiao Guo said is also reasonable, why don't you make a decision after looking at the situation?" Di Qing sighed softly, frowned and remained silent.If there are all his subordinates here, no need to ask, he will take the lead and lead people to kill.The enemy's situation is not stable, and with Di Qing's bravery to fight out, even if he can't kill the opponent, he can still stifle their momentum.But most of them are Khitan people here, and he can't do anything about it.

He put all his desire to end the war between Song Dynasty and Khitan on Yelu Zongzhen, and even considered using Khitan soldiers to attack Yuan Hao. In my opinion, we should immediately send warriors to break out of the siege and ask for help from the nearby tribes before they can close the siege. Luckily, we are standing next to a mountain, so we can order people to go over the mountain and take a detour." Di Qing thought, "Although there are many rebels, they can't completely surround this mountain. There are always gaps around. Even if they really can't hold on, it doesn't seem like they are in a desperate situation."

This time Xiao Pidi reacted quickly, summoned the warriors of the clan, gave a few instructions, and those warriors took orders, and followed Di Qing's plan to walk around the back mountain. Just at this time, the rebels had already reached the front of the camp, and they were aggressive. Xiao Pidi saw the flags of these people clearly, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, not only the Wula tribe rebelled, but also some people from the Yishi Division disrespected His Majesty." The Khitan people were originally nomadic people, and only after acquiring the cities of the Sixteen States of Yanyun, did they develop in the direction of farming. Since then, the cities have been expanded and commerce has flourished, and Nanjing and Shangjing have been greatly influenced by the Central Plains.However, the Khitan's interior is still dominated by the tribal system. Currently, the Khitan people are composed of four major tribes and more than a dozen small tribes.

The current four major tribes of the Khitan are the Fifth Yuan, Xi Liu, Sixth Yuan, and Yishibu, who control many tribes of the Khitan people. The Byrd, Ula and other tribes were not divided into these four major tribes, and they were regarded as independent small tribes on the nomadic grassland. This time the Wula tribe suddenly mentioned the attack, and Xiao Pidi had already guessed that it was probably related to the Empress Dowager Xiao.He had known that Empress Dowager Xiao was really dissatisfied with Yeluzong, and wanted to establish Yeluzong Yuan as emperor, but Empress Dowager Xiao secretly ordered the Wula tribe to attack him, just to push all the faults on the Wula tribe.But the rebellion that came this time not only had the flag of the Wula tribe, but also the flag of the Yishi tribe.

Yeluzong really didn't think of this, seeing the rebels gathered in front of the camp, clamoring and shouting, he was annoyed.Not long after, there was dust and smoke in the distance again, and there were rebels who kept coming for reinforcements. In less than an hour's time, the Rebellion has three times more manpower, and there are more than 20,000 people. Looking over from the halfway up the mountain, I can only see the rebellious black masses like ants in front, and what is even more shocking is that the opponent's manpower is still increasing. The more Xiao Pidi watched, the more frightened he became, and he was at a loss for what to do for a while.

Seeing Di Qing, he could only smile wryly, thinking that the enemy is too strong now, and it is impossible to rush out.If the opponent continues to reinforce like this, there is no need to fight, I am afraid that the defenders here will be overwhelmed.Even if a tribe came to rescue him nearby, how could he dare to come when he saw such momentum? Looking at Yeluzong Zhen, Di Qing was suddenly puzzled.He saw that Yelu Zongzhen's eyes were only angry and calm, but he didn't show any panic or fear.Di Qing really couldn't understand why the Khitan ruler was still so calm until now? Suddenly, horns sounded in the rebel camp, and several horsemen galloped out, reining in their horses within a stone's throw of Yeluzongzhen.The two leaders, one in blue and iron armor, pointed in this direction with a whip in their hands.The other person was wearing a brocade robe with a brass armor under the brocade robe, and looked towards this side with an arrogant expression.

Xiao Pidi said bitterly: "These two thieves, Nie Hu'er and Xiao Hannu, are here. It really is the Queen Mother who is behind the scenes." It turned out that the one in blue clothes and iron armor was called Nie Hu'er, who was originally a cousin of Empress Dowager Xiao, and that Xiao Hannu was Empress Dowager Xiao's domestic slave.Empress Dowager Xiao imprisoned Empress Dowager Qi Tian, ​​and since the Empress Dowager Legislation, she promoted relatives and even domestic slaves in an exceptional way, and entering and leaving the palace was like entering a land without people. Ne Hu'er and Xiao Hanu are both empress dowager Xiao's very important people. As soon as these two people showed up, it was announced that empress dowager Xiao had a real showdown with Yeluzong. Xiao Pidi saw that Yelu Zong really clenched his fists, his expression was angry, he finally couldn't hold back, got on his horse and left the camp, and shouted from a distance: "Niehuer, Xiao Hannu, the Holy Majesty is here, you dare to attack with soldiers, really! Can't you rebel?" Xiao Hannu laughed loudly and said: "Xiao Pidi, are you the one who rebelled? We heard that the Holy Majesty was detained by you in the camp, so we brought troops to rescue him. Hurry up and hand over the Holy Majesty, and the Queen Mother and I have a good word , spare you from dying. If you persist in your obsession, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you.” Seeing Xiao Hannu bite back, Xiao Pidi turned pale with anger, and scolded: "You slave, how dare you be so arrogant in front of this old man and confuse right and wrong?" Without further ado, Yeluzong really rode out of the camp and said loudly: " Xiao Hannu, Uncle Guo has always been loyal to me. I am here, if you really save me, why don’t you step back first?” When the rebels saw that Yeluzong had really left the camp, there was a slight commotion.These people either knew about the Empress Dowager's mind, or they followed blindly. Seeing the King appeared, they would inevitably feel uneasy. Seeing Xiao Hannu, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "Who are you, pretending to be the lord of the country? Xiao Bidi, you imprisoned the lord, and you are looking for someone similar to disturb the morale of the army? If this person is really the lord of the country Lord, let him come and see." Yeluzong was really startled, and secretly hated him.Xiao Pidi anxiously said: "Your Majesty, you can't pass." Both of them knew that Xiao Hannu's move was very vicious, if Yelvzong really passed, surrounded by them, how could he survive? Xiao Hannu saw that he had figured it out, and laughed loudly: "What's the matter? Don't dare to come? It doesn't mean that you are fake people." Looking back at Nehuer and winking, Nehuer called: "Xiao Hannu Pidi and his subordinates committed crimes and imprisoned the lord. I will be the king of Qin to rescue him, take the lead bravely, capture Xiao Pidi, and rescue the lord. Everyone has merit." After he waved his hand, there was thunder in the army. Thousands of rebels rushed out and killed them. Xiao Pidi quickly turned Yeluzong back, and the warriors in the clan resisted desperately. Feather arrows are like locusts, and the sound of killing is loud. The rebel soldiers attacked seven or eight times from early morning to noon, blood flowed like rivers in front of the camp, and corpses were piled high.Although there were few Khitan guards, they knew that the lord was here, and each of them resisted bravely, and managed to neutralize all the rebel attacks. By the afternoon, both sides were exhausted and couldn't help taking a break. Xiao Pidi counted the number of people and found that dozens of warriors in the clan had died and hundreds of people had been injured. He laughed without fear: "Xiao Hannu, this slave, is not bad if he flatters him, but if he wants to march and fight, he is not bad." It's far away." He said to Yelu Zong, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as we persist for a few days, the reinforcements will arrive soon." Di Qing said aside: "Although the enemy attacked many times, they did not use enough force. Most of the soldiers and horses did not use it at all. I am afraid that they were just probing. Of course, they are also afraid that things will change over time, so they should attack with all their strength. I am afraid that they will not be able to attack until noon. It's time for them to go on the offensive." As soon as the words were finished, the drums in the rebel camp rang loudly, resounding through the sky.Xiao Pidi only saw soldiers swarming in the enemy camp, charging forward with spears. Xiao Pidi secretly regretted it. He said in his heart that Di Qing was the Northwest War God of the Great Song Dynasty, and his judgment was accurate. If he had listened to his words and led the troops to break through the siege, he might not have ended up in the predicament he is in today.But now that the opponents have become encircled, there is no other way but to fight to the death. Xiao Pidi pulled up his sleeves and held his bow, and held the battle in person.Seeing the enemy approaching, he gave an order, and the arrows rained down on the rebel camp. But at this time, there were piles of dead bodies in front of the camp, and the rebels either held shields, or relied on the cover of dead men and dead horses, and when they avoided three rounds of feather arrow attacks, they had already rushed to the front of the camp. Without waiting for Xiao Pidi's order, the warriors in the camp jumped out of the camel carts, long trees and other bunkers, armed with guns and knives, and started hand-to-hand combat with the rebels. Seeing this, Yeluzong's face changed slightly, and he looked up at the sky, his eyes showing anxiety for the first time.I thought to myself, "This time I will fight to the death. If the opponent captures the camp at this time, it will really be a failure." Di Qing saw that he was about to fall into hand-to-hand combat, and secretly screamed that it was too bad, thinking that we are outnumbered, if the enemy breaks through the defense and rushes in, he will no longer have the ability to fight back.Xiao Pidi's blind defense was beaten, and he was really in a dead end. At this time, the rebel camp saw the opponent's arrow formation, clamored in unison, and rushed forward one after another. There were not many Khitan soldiers guarding the camp, but they couldn't help but retreat when they were rushed by the opponent. Seeing that the defensive line was crumbling, it was in danger... Hearing a tiger's roar, Xiao Pidi did not know when, he had already exposed his chest, showing his strong muscles, and swung his machete to kill. Although Xiao Pidi was old, his majesty remained undiminished, his long knife danced like a wheel, and he killed several people in a row in an instant.When the rebels saw that Xiao was fighting mightily, they were afraid and couldn't help but retreat. Yeluzong really rushed to the high platform a long time ago, and shouted: "The national crisis is at the head, it's time for my Khitan man to make meritorious deeds." After saying that, he beat the drum himself.The leather drum rang loudly, and the warriors in the camp saw the emperor beating the drum himself, and they couldn't help but grow up courageous. Some of the rebels who came to attack were unknown, but the patriarch was only encouraged by Xiao Hannu, so he followed. Now seeing the lord Yelu Zong really awe-inspiring on the high platform, it doesn’t look like a fake, and I can’t help feeling afraid .Seeing this, Xiao Pidi swung his sword and shouted, "Kill!" Everyone rushed out of the camp in one go, but the rebels couldn't resist and fled one after another.Xiao Pidi took advantage of the situation to hide and kill him, and his momentum was like a rainbow for a while. At this moment, another drum was heard in the rebel camp, and a man rushed out with a horse in his hand, shouting: "Xiao Pedi, come to die!" The man had long arms and broad shoulders, his eyebrows, beard, and hair were all tangled together, making him look like he had a ball on his shoulders.When Yeluzong really saw that person, his expression changed slightly.He had seen the man before, the man was originally called Ye Shuyuan, and it was said that he was picked up from a herd of beasts. He had the appearance of an ape since he was a child, with hair all over his body.When Yelu Zongzhen was inspecting the Yishi tribe, the chief of the Yishi tribe once asked this person to perform for the emperor. Yeluzong really saw this person killing a cow and tearing a wolf with his bare hands, and his power was unstoppable.I don't want this person to come out today, I'm afraid Xiao Bidi will be very difficult to fight. Most of Xiao Pidi's troops knew Ye Shuyuan, and knew how ferocious and cruel this man was. Seeing that man led his troops to fight out, his vigor was weakened.Seeing the discouragement of the crowd, Xiao Pidi thought to himself, if he didn't defeat Ye Shuyuan and he took advantage of the situation to kill him, then he would be in vain if he worked so hard to gain an advantage. The fight he fought just now was just relying on his ambition to not grow old, but his physical strength is limited after all, and it is actually difficult to continue at this moment.But the arrow was on the string, and he had no choice but to shoot. As soon as he lifted the horse's belly with his toes, he was about to rush forward to fight. Suddenly a gust of wind passed by, and it seemed that a feathered arrow shot past him. Xiao Pidi took a closer look, only to realize that it wasn't Yu Jian, but Di Qing!But he couldn't be sure for a while, because he passed by, and he only saw that person's figure resembling Di Qing, but with a bronze mask on his face. The mask was ferocious and mighty, and under the cold autumn sun, there was an indescribably fierce and ferocious expression. The one who rushed out was Di Qing, who had already put on a bronze mask when he saw Ye Shuyuan rushing out.With a wave of the long knife, he was killed outside the camp.All the guards were eager to try, and when they saw Di Qing giving the order, even though they felt that there were few people, they still followed Di Qing closely. They've heard too much about Di Qing's bravery and single-handedly beheading his generals.They knew that Di Qing would not let them down this time, and they would not leave Di Qing alone. Di Qing rushed out of the camp with his horse and sword horizontally, and shot at Ye Shuyuan like an arrow.Although the imperial guards were chasing hard, they were still a few feet behind Di Qing. The forbidden army is like a bow, Di Qing is like an arrow, although it is only a few dozen cavalry, they rushed out like an angry arrow drawing a bow. At this time, the golden drums in the camps of both sides were playing loudly. When Yelu Zong saw that Di Qing had finally come out, his spirits were lifted and he kept beating the drums.When everyone in the camp saw it, they beat drums endlessly, like a landslide. When the rebel camp saw a man with a hideous mask and fangs rushing out of the opponent's camp, he couldn't help being startled.A savage has already appeared in Xindao, which is already surprising, so why did a ghost appear in the opponent's camp? Ye Shuyuan didn't care whether the opponent was a human or a ghost, seeing Di Qing's murderous aura, on the contrary aroused his wildness.Amidst the wild howling, he had already urged his horse to come in front of Di Qing.The horse lance swung swiftly, creating a murderous aura between heaven and earth, covering up the brilliance of autumn. The sky and the earth seemed to be dark, and then brightened in an instant! The dark is because of the wind and the raging grass, and the bright is because of the long sword reflecting the sky.Di Qing drew his saber again, and the saber intent was rampant!Run across the world, unrivaled! The two horses staggered, Di Qing missed Ye Shuyuan, and ran towards the enemy's camp without stopping. Everyone was shocked, for a moment they didn't know what happened just now.Wild Shuyuan's horse galloped for several feet, and finally stopped hesitantly, because it could not get the master's order. Under the eyes of everyone, Ye Shuyuan swayed on the horse, and there was a bloodstain on the neck.The bloodstains appeared extremely quickly, and blood spurted out in an instant, staining half of his body red.Then everyone saw a very strange scene that they couldn't help screaming... Ye Shuyuan turned into two halves out of thin air, one body with legs was still on the horse, but the other body with arms had already fallen on the dust. It turned out that Di Qing's saber cut through Ye Shuyuan's body like lightning and thunder, and when the two horses crossed each other, he had already split Ye Shuyuan in half.It's just that the saber's movement was too fast, even though Ye Shuyuan was dead, he still ran several zhang before it split open. What kind of knife technique is this? Is this the sword technique that humans can use? The sound of the drums stopped early, Yelu Zong really saw this tragic and bloody scene, he was stunned and forgot to beat the drums.All the drummers were also startled by the scene. Although their hands were stiff, their hearts were beating loudly, beating endlessly like war drums. Di Qing had almost killed himself in front of the rebels. Under the autumn sun, the bronze mask glowed colder than blood.Behind the bronze mask, a pair of eyes were blazing with fighting spirit, like a raging fire, already burning on Xiao Hannu's body. Xiao Hannu was trembling with fear.Although he is domineering and domineering, although he is invincible, but he never dreamed of meeting this kind of bloody and murderous aura on the battlefield. At the moment of life and death, he only did one thing, turn the horse's head and run away. Even though he was among thousands of troops, facing Di Qing, he felt as if he was standing naked on the desolate and boundless grassland, trembling all over. Nie was caught off guard, seeing Di Qing approaching him, thinking to himself that Di Qing was only one person, what else could he do despite his abilities?Shouted sharply: "Stop him!" Before the soldiers had time to draw their bows, two generals beside Nehu'er had already slanted forward, using spears and iron pestles, and were about to pinch Di Qing. Three horses and one wrong, there are lightning flashes in the sky, the two armies will turn over and fall off their horses, and they are already dead. There are also generals who are about to step forward to stop them. It can be seen that such a strange and frightening mask, such a sharp, unmatched long knife, and a heart that almost stopped beating, how dare to step forward to die? Di Qing had already rushed to Nehuer. Nehu Er was startled, he didn't want to be easily killed by someone, but after all, he was unwilling to wait for death, and before he swung his knife to slash him, Di Qing grabbed his belt. With a shake of Di Qing's arm, Nie suddenly flew into the air, screaming loudly, thinking that if he didn't fall to his death this time, he would fall under the horse's hoof and be trampled to death.Not wanting to suddenly fall on one person's horse, that person stabbed Nehuer's neck and shouted: "Slave, do you still have today?" The man who shouted was Xiao Pidi. At the moment Di Qing rushed out, Xiao Pidi's ambitions soared, and he also rushed over with Di Qing.Although he already knew that Di Qing's martial arts were world-class, and that Di Qing's judgments were accurate, he still didn't expect Di Qing to be so brave. Di Qing beheaded Ye Shuyuan with one sword, beheaded two Khitan generals with two swords, and captured Nehuer with a wave of his hand. Di Qing fought all over the place, among thousands of troops, it was as if he had entered the land of no one. The God of War in the Northwest, it turned out that it was not a wild statement. Although Xiao Pidi hated Nie Huer, he also knew that it was impossible to kill him at this time.Di Qing left Nehuer to him, of course it was Di Qing's intention.He single-handedly swung his sword, and ordered the whole clan to rush to kill.Because he has seen that Di Qing doesn't want to stop, and Di Qing's next target is Xiao Hannu. Now the leaders of the rebel army are Xiao Hannu and Nehuer, as long as they are captured, the rebel army will have no leader and will naturally collapse. Xiao Hannu fled, desperately fleeing!He had already squinted until Nie Huer was captured, and he was even more frightened.He waved his horsewhip and just shouted: "Get out of the way, get out!" Although there were generals beside him, he never thought he could stop Di Qing. You must flee, or die if you don't. Only this thought remained in Xiao Hannu's mind. A general stepped forward and wanted to intercept Di Qing, but when Di Qing swung his knife, someone's head flew up.A strange scene formed in the army. Although Xiao Hannu was guarded by thousands of troops, he was chased and killed by Di Qing alone. Xiao Hannu escaped joyfully, Di Qing chased after him closely, whenever there was an obstacle, Xiao Hannu would destroy it first, and Di Qing only needed to wield a long knife to follow Xiao Hannu closely. Although the rebels shouted loudly, they had nothing to do with Di Qing. The rebel army has been disturbed, and it is difficult to attack again.At this moment, the forbidden army and Xiao Pidi led a group of warriors from the clan, and they had already killed the rebels. The rebel army has no leader, and the former army is in chaos. The rebel army has tens of thousands of people, divided into the front army, the middle army, and the left and right armies.Di Qing plunged in like a sharp blade, and Xiao Pidi and others rushed in like a tide. The front army was in chaos, and the central army panicked. The Chinese army didn't know what happened in front at all, they only knew that they were still attacking Xiao Pidi's camp just now, how could they be killed back after such a short time? When the army's morale is in chaos, the whole army is in chaos, and when the army's morale is down, the army is defeated like a mountain. Di Qing was not like a knife, but more like a sledgehammer. When he struck the celadon vase, the vase seemed solid, but when a crack appeared, it was hit again, and it fell apart with a "crash". The rebels were defeated. Di Qing also did not expect such a situation. At the beginning, he knew that the rebels were aiming for a quick victory, and he thought the same.He watched with cold eyes, he already knew that the leaders of the rebel army were Xiao Hannu and Nehuer, and to keep the camp safe, he had to repel the attack of Ye Shuyuan. He beheaded Ye Shuyuan with a single knife, and immediately had the idea of ​​capturing the thief and the king. Although there were many people on the other side, and their equestrian skills were not bad, Xiao Hannu was born as a domestic slave after all, and he didn't know how to fight.The rebels relied on a large number of people and an uneven formation.Years of peace have caused the Khitan people to gradually lose their sharp minions.The current Khitan rebels are not as powerful as they appear. Di Qing saw that the other party was slack and negligent, so he rushed over and grabbed Nie Hu'er.Xiao Hannu retreated, and Di Qing chased after him. In the process of chasing and killing, he saw that the other party was in disarray, so he changed his mind and followed Xiao Hannu in a leisurely manner. Xiao Hannu ran wildly all the way, but he didn't know that he had destroyed the army's morale. The rebels were in chaos, and they couldn't tell how many enemies were attacking. Yeluzong really saw him in the camp, he could hardly believe the facts in front of him. Di Qing broke the rebel camp with his own strength?How powerful is this man? But the facts were right in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but believe it, Yelu Zong was really overjoyed and beat the drum vigorously.All the warriors in the clan were elated and rushed to kill them with a bang. For a while, people shouted and horses shouted, and drums and horns sounded.The armies of both sides suddenly rolled westward, and the blue sea rolled northwestward like a tide. Di Qing kept chasing and killing all the way, but he didn't just rush to kill. In order to cooperate with the offensive of his men, he was getting far away from Xiao Hannu.Although he didn't catch Xiao Hannu, his goal of defeating the rebels had been achieved. At this moment, Di Qing didn't like to be startled, but felt a palpitation, raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw the smoke and dust in the distance again, it was a sign of an army marching. If the Khitan army rescued by King Qin, it is unlikely that they will arrive soon?When Di Qing thought about this, he realized that the opponent might be reinforcements from the rebel army. With a wave of the long knife, Di Qing ordered his guards to stop. All the forbidden troops followed Di Qing to kill, but Di Qing was the first to look forward, and when he saw this, he hurriedly reined in his horse.The reverence for Di Qing in my heart has long been endless.This time, Di Qing killed the Khitan people in the Khitan Grassland to the point of defeat. It would be a lifetime honor to talk about such a thing. But Di Qing didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart. He had experienced hundreds of battles and saw the smoke and dust rising in the distance. Xiao Pidi had already rode his horse up to Di Qing's side, and seeing that Di Qing had reined in his horse, he hastily reined in and asked, "General Di, do you want to kill him?" But I admire the five-body cast.Seeing Di Qing shaking his head, Xiao Pidi hastily ordered his men to beat the gong to stop the attack. At this time, the rebels were also at a loss when they saw a large army coming in front of them.I could only see the distant sky, and there were cavalry rushing up, all of them holding spears and shields, galloping in line.Looking at the opponent's military strength from a distance, the formation is neat, and seeing that the opponent's flag is actually yellow, Xiao Pidi lost his voice: "It's Oruduo from Shangjing." Oruduo is originally a Khitan language, meaning Khitan's tent army, and it is also the collective name of the emperor's pro-army in all dynasties.The emperors of Khitan all built their own Oruduo, which was passed down from generation to generation.The current team of Oruduo was originally built by Yelu Zongzhen's father, Yelu Longxu, the Holy Zong of Khitan.At present, the one who can mobilize Oruduo is the Empress Dowager Xiao. Could it be said that the Empress Dowager Xiao personally led the army to get rid of Yelu Zongzhen? Xiao Pidi was startled when he saw Oruduo coming.However, Xiao Hannu was overjoyed. When the rebels saw soldiers coming from Shangjing, they all thought it was Empress Dowager Xiao who sent people to come to support them.Xiao Hannu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and seeing that Di Qing didn't dare to chase after him, he was very proud, and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Who is coming?" The Orudolema is so tidy that it makes people feel chilling.Some soldiers lined up on both sides, and one rode out on horseback. When Xiao Hannu saw him, he recognized the man as Yelu Renxian, the Chief of the Shangjing Horse Army. He had been in Shangjing for a long time, and he was highly regarded by the Empress Dowager Xiao.He went forward and said: "Director Yelu, but Empress Dowager Xiao asked you to help me?" Xiao Hannu, following the secret order of Empress Dowager Xiao, supported Yelu Zongyuan's ascension to the throne, and wanted to take advantage of the occasion of the autumn bowl to trap and kill Yelu Zongzhen.He managed to deceive Yelu Zongzhen into the Ula tribe, and contacted the master Feiying to ambush him. When he didn't want Feiying to assassinate him, the king of the North Court escorted him to the death, which made Yeluzongzhen stand out from the encirclement, and he sent people to chase and kill Yeluzongzhen, but it happened to fail. And return.Before the assassination, he had calculated that if Yeluzong really escaped, he would ask Xiao Pidi for help, so he ordered Feiying to sneak into Xiao Pidi's clan.I don't want to fail again and be destroyed by Di Qing.After Feiying escaped, he immediately sent a signal saying that the assassination would fail. Xiao Hannu tried to see him, and he used the queen mother's secret decree to call the nearby Yishi, Ula and other tribes to come. The soldiers and horses collapsed and fled. When Xiao Hannu was in despair, he couldn't help being overjoyed to have Yeluren come earlier.Seeing that Yeluren rode forward first, Xiao Hannu shouted: "Director Yelu, there is a man with a green face and fangs who disrupted our operation, you go and order someone to kill him." Yeluren held the horse first, and said: "Okay!" After saying that, he waved his arm, and the horse trembled, knocking Xiao Hannu off the horse. Everyone was stunned, Xiao Hannu was even more astonished, and shouted: "Director Yelu, what are you doing?" Without further ado, Khitan soldiers had already stepped forward and held Xiao Hannu down. The rebels were shocked, at a loss, and didn't know what to do for a while. Yeluren first looked at the rebels from a distance, and shouted: "The Empress Dowager Fatian perverted, burned the imperial edict, and controlled the government for many years, resulting in the abolition of the criminal law, chaos in the government, and complete changes in the laws of the Holy Clan. It has caused Khitan embarrassment and deserves to be punished. Now it is even more so. Instigating Xiao Hannu, Nehuer, and others to conspire to attack him is a heinous crime. In the middle of the court, in Yue and in front of the palace, Yelu Xisun and the commander of the horse army, Yeluren, were ordered to quell the chaos. Are you going to catch him without a fight?" Xiao Hannu's face turned blue the more he heard it, and when he heard the last few words, he cried out like five thunders: "You actually imprisoned the Queen Mother?" Yeluren first said coldly: "Those who do things against their will will be punished by the heavens. If the heavens do not condemn them, I will take them later. Detain Xiao Hannu and make a decision after the saint returns to Beijing." Seeing the panic of the rebels , Yeluren first knew that the delay would lead to change, fearing that these people would be forced to fight again, and shouted: "Today the Holy One only punishes the chief villain, knowing that you are being fooled by Xiao Hannu, as long as you don't resist anymore, you will be pardoned." crime." Confused, the rebels looked at each other. Yeluren's face turned cold first, and he suddenly shouted: "If you haven't given up your weapon, when will you wait?" The rebels were afraid, and they dropped their weapons with the sound of "clang".One person gave up, and the rest were also infected, throwing away their weapons one after another.Yeluren had earlier ordered his subordinates to escort and guard the rebels, and had already rode up to Xiao Pidi, cast a sidelong glance at Di Qing, and said, "Uncle Guo, where is the Majesty?" Xiao Pidi was still ignorant, puzzled by the rapid change, and asked after a while: "Did you really imprison the Queen Mother Fatian?"

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.It turned out that after he knew that the Empress Dowager Fatian was going to abolish his throne, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and contacted a group of courtiers who were loyal to the late emperor. After he left Beijing, when the Empress Dowager Fatian was paralyzed, he ordered Yelu Xisun to suddenly mobilize the guards in front of the palace to attack the palace. The Empress Dowager Fatian and a bunch of cronies were imprisoned. This Autumn Bowl can be said to be full of dangers. In order to paralyze the Empress Dowager Yeluzong, he put all his eggs in one basket and risked himself. "It's all worth it in the end. The Empress Dowager Fatian was imprisoned, so he, Yelu Zong, had truly become the Lord of Khitan!Thinking of this, Yeluzong really let out a sigh of relief, and his spirits were high. Seeing it from a distance, Di Qing knew more or less what was going on, and couldn't help feeling that Yeluzong was deeply scheming. For some reason, looking at Yelu Zongzhen, Di Qing suddenly saw that thunderstorm night.That young emperor, when holding the wordless book, seemed to be as deep as Yelu Zongzhen's eyes... Di Qing didn't think about many things.But as soon as I recalled it, the past came like an autumn wind—the bleakness carried a cold and icy taste...
