Chapter 210 kicks off! (Please subscribe!)(1/3)
Xijing.
In another courtyard.
Yelu Hongji sat in the first place.
On his left sat Yelu Dashi, the general of the Liao Kingdom's army and horses, and on his right sat the King of Extermination Chu Xiangyu.
"Everyone, our 300,000 Khitan warriors from the Liao Dynasty have gathered in Xijing. We can set off tomorrow and rush to Yanmen Pass!"
"Please don't drink too much today. Let's have tea instead of wine!"
Yelu Hongji attached great importance to this trip south.
Therefore, a ban on alcohol was issued half a month ago.
No one in the army, from the soldiers to the commander-in-chief Yelu Dashi, was allowed to drink alcohol.
Anyone who violates military orders will be punished without mercy.
Even Yelv Dashi is no exception.
It is also because of this that during this period of time, the military has been solemn and the sense of solemnity before the war is extremely strong.
After hearing this, everyone raised their teacups and drank with Yelu Hongji.
Yelu Hongji looked at Yelu Dashi and asked, "Dashi, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
Yelu Dashi said calmly: "For some reasons, the fact that we were going to send troops south was leaked in advance, which made the Song Dynasty take precautions."
"Originally, I planned to attack Yanmen Pass by surprise, but now it seems that I can only pretend to attack and test the resistance of the Song Dynasty first."
When everyone present heard Yelu Dashi's words, they subconsciously looked at Chu Xiangyu.
Although Yelu Dashi did not explain clearly why the Song Dynasty learned that they were going to raise troops to go south.
But everyone knows it well.
This incident is still related to the assassination of Chu Xiangyu.
If Chu Xiangyu hadn't let go of the assassin with a broken arm, the Song Dynasty would still be singing and dancing at this time. How could there be so many people gathering at Yanmen Pass!
Facing the gazes of everyone, Chu Xiangyu looked calm and unmoved.
However, Shen Yunshan, who was standing behind Chu Xiangyu, looked a little ugly.
He was not fighting for Chu Xiangyu.
But his status in Khitan depends entirely on Chu Xiangyu's status.
Now that Chu Xiangyu is being targeted by everyone, his treatment has naturally plummeted.
It would be strange if his face looked better.
Yelu Hongji naturally heard the underlying meaning of Yelu Dashi's words.
He said calmly: "Dashi, I know what you said, but I believe in General Chu's character."
Yelu Dashi Gongshou said: "I have never doubted General Chu's character."
Chu Xiangyu rebelled three times in succession during the Song Dynasty, and even entered the palace alone to assassinate the Song Emperor.
These are all things that are obvious, and you can understand them in detail with a little research.
Therefore, no one has ever doubted Chu Xiangyu's hatred for the Song Dynasty.
What really made everyone unhappy was the title of General Pingnan, Chu Xiangyu.
All the monarchs of the Liao Dynasty were determined to go south and invade the Song Dynasty.
If the title of General Pingnan is bestowed on anyone, it will definitely be a great honor.
But now this honor does not belong to the Khitans, but to a Han Chinese.
It would be strange if everyone felt comfortable.
Yelu Hongji looked at Chu Xiangyu again and said: "I think it is a good choice for General Chu to start the first battle of attacking Yanmen Pass tomorrow."
Yelu Dashi heard the words and immediately said: "I second the proposal."
When everyone saw Yelu Dashi's statement, they all said, "I second my opinion."
Facing everyone's gaze, Chu Xiangyu stood up, raised his hands to Yelu Hongji and said, "My lord, I obey the order!"
Wait until the party is over.
Chu Xiangyu and Shen Yunshan were walking on their way back to the camp.
Shen Yunshan looked at Chu Xiangyu who was silent and couldn't help but said: "General, they are bullying people too much!"
Seeing that Chu Xiangyu still remained silent, Shen Yunshan added: "General, everyone knows that Yanmen Pass is now like an iron barrel. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even a feint attack will result in many casualties."
"We finally managed to piece together an army of 50,000 people."
"If we suffer heavy losses in tomorrow's battle, I'm afraid the general's voice in Daliao will become even smaller!"
Chu Xiangyu slowly turned his head, glanced at Shen Yunshan who looked anxious, and said, "Do you want to die?"
Chen Yunshan's breathing stagnated and his face turned a little pale.
Normal person, who would want to die?
Seeing Shen Yunshan's silence, Chu Xiangyu continued: "I don't want to die either, so tomorrow's battle must be fought, and the more brutal the battle, the better!"
When Shen Yunshan heard what Chu Xiangyu said, he seemed to understand what Chu Xiangyu meant, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"General, aren't you afraid that the bird will be out of sight and the bow will be hidden?"
If they don't have their own power in their hands.
Once they have no use value anymore, Daliao can kick them away at any time!
Chu Xiangyu said calmly: "As long as I can pull Zhao Ji down from the throne, it doesn't matter whether I die or not."
For Chu Xiangyu, what he wanted was for the Song Dynasty to be destroyed and Zhao Ji to be shattered into pieces.
As for the others, they were not within his scope of consideration.
After hearing this, Shen Yunshan's face suddenly became even more ugly, as if he was about to drip with gloom.
He is different from Chu Xiangyu.
What he pursues is glory, wealth, power, money, and beauty!
He doesn't want to die!
Thinking of this, Shen Yunshan's eyes when he looked at Chu Xiangyu suddenly became extremely subtle.
…
Woo!
The sky hasn't gotten bright yet.
The deep and deep horn sound resounded throughout Yanmen Pass.
Everyone who was still sleeping was awakened by the sound of the trumpet, got up, dressed, and went outside to find out the news.
Soon a shocking news spread in Yanmen Pass.
The 50,000 Khitan army, led by Pingnan General Chu Xiangyu, was on its way to Yanmen Pass.
It is estimated that in another hour, the troops will be at the gates of the city!
At this time, the defenders of Yanmen Pass had prepared rolling oil, rolling logs, boulders and other defensive equipment on the top of the city.
In addition, guard Yang Ye also sent an elite cavalry out of the city to ambush the east side.
Of course, Yang Ye also called on the people in the city to coordinate the defense of Yanmen Pass.
Most people in the world responded to Yang Ye's call.
Some climbed onto the city wall to prepare to defend the city with the soldiers.
There are also people who use Qinggong to leave Yanmen Pass, looking for opportunities in the wild to defeat the Khitan army.
After Wu Qing heard about this, he sighed softly and said, "It's actually Chu Xiangyu."
When Chu Xiangyu was mentioned, Tie Shou's face became very ugly.
At the beginning, Chu Xiangyu could be said to have slipped from under his hands.
Now that Chu Xiangyu led his troops to invade, he was naturally a little unhappy.
Zhui Ming took a sip of wine and said, "During this period of time, Chu Xiangyu must have taken good care of himself."
"It would be very difficult to kill him now."
"Unless three travelers take action at the same time."
Although their four famous catchers are powerful, they are still incomparable to Monkey.
If you want to defeat or kill Chu Xiangyu, you must take action.
In today's Yanmen Pass, there are not a few travelers.
