    Chapter 33: Retreating The heavy summer rain poured down, shrouding the world in darkness.  This rain has been going on for a day or two, turning the ground into mud.  The rain and fog caused by the heavy rain made it difficult to distinguish the opposite direction from a hundred steps away.  The troops stationed in the Song Dynasty all huddled in their tents. Only the unlucky ones were sent to clear the drainage ditches around the camp. Everyone rolled like a mud monkey and just cursed in a low voice.  On all sides of the watchtower, the Song army's vigilance and lookout soldiers had doubled. Everyone crowded on the narrow watchtower, taking turns looking into the depths of the rain and fog. The more it was at this time, the more worried the Liao people would take advantage of the weather to attack the camp.  Everyone was exhaling long white breaths and stamping their feet on the watchtower, giving it a somewhat wintery scene.  The summer at this time is much colder than that of Xiao Yan's time.  Han Shizhong was wearing a thick cloak and just walking on the wall of the village.  At the head of their battalion, Marquis Gao Yu had already taken the blame and was transferred back to Xiongzhou City by Yang Keshi to wait for dispatch. There was a new Marquis Yu in the camp, but he knew how to be powerful and ignored things. He knew that this was the one who was to be promoted.  Han Shizhong.  Han Shizhong was honest and polite, and assumed the responsibility of commanding the battalion as the temporary commander.  He walked up and down the wall, occasionally making a few jokes in a rough voice, and then patting the helmets of the soldiers on duty on the wall affectionately, causing a small stir wherever he went.  Everyone was very convinced of Han Shizhong.  He is both capable of fighting and does not put on airs. If you follow such a superior officer, you will not suffer any loss at that time.  At this time, he still had headaches, and everyone could still joke with him as before.  "Han Wu, when will your camp of Yuhou be really eliminated? If you don't get rid of Zhazi for a day, you won't be able to really harden your back. Don't give up your strength when the time comes. The credit belongs to others, but the hardship belongs to you!"  Hearing an old colleague who was also the head of the capital joke, Han Shizhong sighed rarely: "I am also thirty-three or four years old. I have been a bachelor all my life. How can I not think about it at this time? But my reputation is too bad.  How can a few great masters be promoted? But now in the Northern Expedition, they are like this again, but I don¡¯t know when they will go north again! These princes are all hundreds of miles away from Xiongzhou!  If we fail to make the Northern Expedition at this time, what chance will we wait for? Who knows, I, Han Wu, will have to waste my whole life!" Hearing that he was rarely serious, his colleagues also stopped joking and said: "Han Wu,  There¡¯s no need to act too hard Look at the weather like this, there might be a large force of Liao troops attacking the camp. With your bravery, wouldn¡¯t it be easy for you to accomplish a great feat?  That's enough" Han Shizhong shook his head and looked into the depths of the rain and fog to the north: "I have a very good nose. The Liao dogs will not attack the camp. I'm afraid they are taking the opportunity to withdraw their troops  "Withdraw troops?" The people around him were shocked and gathered around unconsciously.  "Why do Liao Dog have to withdraw their troops when they are in such a favorable situation? Isn't the supply of food and grass running out? If they want to withdraw, why didn't we hear Shangguan's announcement? After being oppressed here for so long, Liao Dog  Withdraw the troops, there will be a chase no matter what!" Han Shizhong couldn't resist the questions from his brothers, and just shook his hands: "How do I know? I just think so" Chase, that's easy to say!  We and Shengjie's army are at the head of the tank. A few ministers control the main force a hundred miles away. The Liao dogs are retreating to Yanjing. They may not be able to move. God, who can lead us north?  Po Hanwu will sell his life to him!" On the other side of the rain and fog, Yelu Dashi was riding on his horse, looking at the blurry Song Army camp to the south.  The rainwater hit his golden helmet, making a pitter-patter sound, and then slid down the armor, adding a bit of chill.  The horse under his crotch snorted, moved uneasily, and exhaled long white breath.  Around him, there were countless armored knights, all standing silently.  The soldiers of the Liao Army in the brigade were filling in the trenches around the camp and digging Changhao across the east and west.  The baggage has been withdrawn in advance, and the dragon-like carriages, horses, cattle and mules are being driven away from the front line.  The carts were piled high with equipment, baggage, and grain and grass. The animals already had coins in their mouths and could not neigh.  Just struggling in the mud, the drivers and horsemen tried their best to drive the animals and vehicles, but they rolled like monkeys in the mud.  The officers escorting the escort ran back and forth in front of and behind the team, passing orders quietly but urgently, maintaining order and allowing this huge team to roll north.  After the baggage has been withdrawn, the combat troops will be withdrawn northward one by one by walking first and then riding.  Taking advantage of this continuous heavy rain, Yelu Dashi dared to be sure. When he crossed the Baigou River, he was afraid that the Song people would not react yet!  Besides, even if they could discover it, so what?  The main force of the Song Dynasty had been beaten to pieces by him, how could they still dare to pursue him?  It¡¯s just that if I go north, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll never come back south again in this life?¡­ Even if you go north at this time, can you save the fate of the Liao Kingdom from danger?  I wish I could meet Emperor Abaoji!  When he was galloping away, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Qian coming over with a large group of Xi Jun guards.  When Xi people grow up, they are like towering men on horseback.  It also highlights Xiao Qian's thinness.  He was still dressed as plainly as usual, wearing an iron helmet and a thick cloak, which was completely soaked by the rain.  From a distance, he crossed his hands to Yelu Dashi and saluted: "Lin Ya, thank you for your hard work! The retreat of the baggage can be done with a single charge. Why is Lin Ya still standing in the rain? But Lin Ya, please do good for the country."  Take this body!" Yelu Dashi silently clasped his fists and saluted. When Xiao Qianchi came to his side, he looked seriously at the king of the four armies with a grim look on his face.  "Your Majesty, I will hand over the Xi Army and the Khitan Pishi Jingbo Army to your Majesty The departure will be tomorrow. I am the Queen of your Majesty's palace, but please your Majesty to go back quickly! These troops are already the remnants of our Great Liao Dynasty.  Don¡¯t waste your seeds!¡± The guards around Xiao Qian raised their eyebrows with angry expressions on their faces.  Xiao Qian is the legitimate commander-in-chief of the army.  It is a matter of course to mobilize any troops, but Yelu Dashi said so!  Xiao Qian didn't care at all, he just smiled and said: "Lin Ya, Xiao naturally understands that Xiao should leave and return as soon as possible regarding Zhuozhou, and will not let Lin Ya hang around in Yanjing for too long It is a state matter.  It¡¯s difficult, we can only work hard!¡± When he heard Xiao Qian calling himself Xiao, the muscles in Yelu Dashi¡¯s face jumped.  It immediately reminded him of the figure of the white-faced scholar on the watchtower of the Song Army in the distance in front of the two armies.  Every word he said, until now, was still devouring his heart like a poisonous snake.  But what else could he do?  Xiao Qian was originally the commander-in-chief, and Xi Jun was his most direct unit and would only follow him.  He wants to separate this most elite force, but there is nothing he can do!  At this moment, the only thing I can do is rush back to Yanjing, take control of the court situation, establish my own position, and deal with that bitch Empress Xiao first!  As long as his position is stable, the Khitan Pishi Anbo Army will only listen to his orders. Even if Xiao Qian has Xi Jun in his hands, he will not be able to challenge his position. This way, power can be truly unified and he can rest assured to work hard in his life.  Let's see if we can save this crisis!  He looked at Xiao Qian's simple face again, and felt a little lucky in his heart.  " Xiao Qian has always shown himself to be very knowledgeable. He is also a close relative who can only start and end with the Liao Kingdom. How could he not know that fighting for power and profit at this time will push Liao Wang into the fire pit?  Yelu Dashi's thoughts were spinning in his mind, and he felt that the road ahead was just like the sky and the earth in the rain, everything was blurry.  He suppressed his chaotic thoughts, nodded towards Xiao Qian, and his tone was extremely solemn: "King Xiao, I just want to ask, who is King Xiao's secret agent in the Ever-Victorious Army? If this secret is not true,  I'm afraid that the chaos in Zhuozhou will be quelled, and the victorious army will still be able to fight"  Are you going to go out to Haikou? Lin Yadong asked, I should have told you, but Zhuozhou is too close to here, so I have to be careful Lin Ya, just wait for my good news!" After saying this, Xiao  When he did, he cupped his fists and saluted, smiled and rode away.  If he refused to speak, there was nothing Yelu Dashi could do against him.  Behind Xiao Qian, the knights of Xi Jun followed like a dragon, their horses' hooves splashing big balls of muddy water.  Surrounded by him, he went away like the wind.  Yelu Dashi only had a dark face, and the young Khitan officers behind him all had angry expressions on their faces.  "Lin Ya, we cannot hand over our Khitan troops and horses into the hands of Xi Ren!" Several officers all remonstrated in low voices.  Yelu Dashi just shook his head slightly: "King Xiao is the commander-in-chief Even if I am willing to give it or not, Empress Xiao will send me an edict from the emperor to divide the troops and horses. Besides, now, An Le and I  King Xiao can no longer make trouble Otherwise, it will be unthinkable!" The officers were still unconvinced, and they just said: "Lin Ya, you are patient for the sake of the country, I'm afraid others don't think so!  Face, among the most confidants around him, he said in a low voice: "The God-given emperor is seriously ill, I'm afraid he can't afford it We rushed back and dealt with Li Chuwen, who wanted to bring down my good friend Nanxiang.  After dealing with Xiao Hou, no one will be able to hold back! At that time, even if King Xiao wants to hold on to his troops, can the Khitan army still listen to him?  What's more When the time comes, he has no choice but to obey the order! The key now is no longer in front of Xiongzhou, but in Yanjing City! King Xiao wants to put down the rebellion in Zhuozhou, so just let him go. Anyway, Yaoshi Guo will be captured.  I, the blessing of Daliao, will lend him the Khitan army for the time being!" He turned back and took a deep look to the south.The horse whipped up his whip: "Let's go! Everyone, pack up and we will set off after King Xiao leaves! Arrive at Yanjing as early as possible. There is still something to be done about this state affairs!" In the rain, Xiao Yan stood quietly.  At the bottom of the stairs, he was just looking at the little mute in the corridor looking dreamily at the sky to the north.  The little mute was dressed in blue and served by a lady from the Song Dynasty. Her light back was as graceful as a Song poem.  The rain washed the courtyard clean, and the water droplets formed a line in front of the eaves, making the little mute's back look clear and clean.  Until now, if you still think that the little mute is a simple orphan girl.  Xiao Yan felt a little unreasonable in his heart.  How can a country girl cultivate such a temperament?  However, Xiao Yan didn't bother to ask.  The little mute couldn't possibly have any evil intentions toward him. I couldn't be more sure of this.  It's like he wouldn't tell the little mute about his life experience from time travel even if he died.  It is normal for the little mute to have her own secrets.  I just sometimes worry that this sweet and cute little mute will one day no longer curl up behind him, curl up his clothes, hug his legs and fall asleep, let alone be held in his arms and shake his head  Yan shook his head fiercely.  What are you thinking!  Isn't it because I am struggling to move forward that I want to seize something in this era?  How could I let the little mute leave my side!  It¡¯s all caused by these two boring days Speaking of which, it¡¯s rare to have a rest in these two days. King Yang Keshi is waiting for the news to come back from the Xuan Shuai Yamen Office of Hejian Prefecture.  Outside, the soldiers of Song Dynasty surrounded their hotel with three floors inside and three floors outside.  Pharmacist Bi Guo watched them closely in Zhuozhou.  Even if he wanted to see the scenery in Xiongzhou City in Song Dynasty, it would be impossible.  I had no choice but to wander around the hotel every day.  Chatted with Yue Fei and the others, met Guo Rong, and exchanged some words with each other.  Nothing else can be done.  Everyone is a little worried, and Guo Rong¡¯s face is getting uglier day by day.  Xiao Yan was nervous, but he kept it hidden in his heart.  No matter how you say it now, he is the leader of this small group of people. His job is to act as a white wolf between the two parties, and he has the ambition to start this war in Yandi!  How could he get into trouble?  ¡°The current self is completely different from the insignificant little white-collar worker I used to be¡± And Xiao Yan actually has no idea whether the situation will develop as he thinks.  Maybe it was the mixture of so many messy emotions that made me think that the little mute would leave But why did she always look north when there was no one around.  Is it just because the north is her hometown?
