Chapter 82 Undercurrent in the Liao Camp

 One after another, the Liao ministers and generals in the imperial tent retreated, and each of them breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. Then they hurriedly dispersed and returned to their camps to convey Yelu Deguang's will and execute his orders.

Yelu Ruan was the same. She walked hundreds of steps away before she looked up at the small crescent moon hanging high above the night sky, and sighed quietly. The face with dense beards was filled with worry, and his mind was filled with the situation in front of him just now, and he felt danger.

"King!" As he thought, a figure stood beside Yelu Ruan and called out.

The small voice made Yelu Ruan shudder. The visitor was obviously a Khitan general, about the same age as Yelu Ruan. There was a little strange on his face reflected by the open flame. The man was named Yelu Anbo, and he was in the tent just now. His father had supported Yelu Be and secretly maintained a close contact with Yelu Ruan.

"An Bo!" He looked at Yelu Anbo, and Yelu Ruan responded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Upon hearing the question, Yelu Anbo glanced in the direction of the imperial tent, and leaned closer and let out a lower voice: "King, the situation is wrong, you must prepare early!"

Upon hearing this, Yelu Ruan subconsciously looked at the brightly lit imperial tent, then quickly carried Yelu Anbo toward the dark place on the side, staring at him: "What do you mean?"

Seeing Yelu Ruan's performance, Yelu Anbo felt secretly calm, fearing that King Yongkang would not react. He looked normal. Yelu Anbo and accompanied Yelu Ruan, while whispering: "Since returning to the north, Your Majesty's temper has become more and more irritable. A little unsatisfactory will be punished. Especially recently, he has killed the bad eunuchs and ministers. The difference between this and Your Majesty's usual performance is too obvious!"

"What the hell are you saying!" A look of nervousness appeared on Yelu Ruan's face.

Yelu Anbo seemed even more careful: "The king. I have investigated secretly. Your Majesty has secretly summoned several medical officials to the account in the past few days. Judging from his performance, His Majesty's body seems to be inappropriate..."

"You are so brave! You dare to secretly check the imperial tent, you will be desperate!" As soon as the man finished speaking, Yelu Ruan suppressed his voice and stared at him fiercely. Perhaps because of his excessive force, his face was a little flushed.

Yelu Anbo seemed very calm and continued, "King, can't you see the situation in the tent just now? Your Majesty still has a secret suspicion towards you! You are the son of King Dongdan after all, how can Your Majesty treat you sincerely? If you are not careful, I'm afraid that your life will be lost sooner or later!"

Listening to his words, Yelu Ruan subconsciously clenched his fists, glanced at him with her eyebrows, without saying anything, with a contemplative look on her face, looking calm, but her heavy breathing betrayed his nervousness.

After being silent for a long time, Yelu Ruan finally spoke and solemnly reminded: "You are not allowed to say such rebellious words, otherwise I will not be able to protect you."

"King——"

Without giving Yelu Anbo the chance to continue speaking, Yelu Ruan gave him a stern look. After taking a few more steps, he lowered his voice and said, "Now, protecting yourself is the most important thing, don't act rashly. You, find an opportunity to meet Yelu Jieli and comfort him for me..."

"Yes!" Yelu Anbo was not stupid. Hearing this, he was happy and immediately replied: "I understand. Please rest assured."

After breaking up with Yelu An, Yelu Ruan's expression became even more depressed. He was obviously thinking about his words, and hesitation was condensed between his eyebrows. Yelu Ruan was also a bit of a wise man, with a strict inside and a strict outside, and was quite popular among the people. In addition, the noble origin and historical problems of the Khitan were left behind, how could he have no idea in his mind?

Yelu Deguang's eyes appeared in his mind just now. Yelu Ruan couldn't help but tremble for a moment, and felt a sense of urgency in his heart. However, among the army at present, Yelu Deguang was still the emperor who decided the life and death of thousands of people with one word. If there were no accidents, he would not dare to make any changes.

As Yelu Anbo said, prepare early. As long as Yelu Deguang is in one day, what's the use of preparing for it? Yelu Ruan's mind is still very clear...

......

Yelu Deguang was obviously here to take action, and according to the order, he slowed down the marching team and carried out a slash. Under the threat of his life, the efficiency of moving north was indeed greatly improved, but the price was that countless corpses were added along the way.

Under such high pressure, even the Khitan soldiers complained. In less than three days, the army moved hundreds of miles to Zhenzhou. It stopped and set up camp on the side of Luancheng on the edge of the river.

This time, Yelu Deguang's body could not bear it anymore, and the news of his illness spread.

In the imperial camp, Yelu Deguang leaned on Hu's bed, with a "cold bag" on his head and chest, absorbing heat, and from time to time, he asked people to change it. This method seemed to relieve the dryness and poison in his body.

Beside the bed, Yelu Ruan and others were waiting to report the situation.

"Where is the Han army of the Liu family now? Is it still behind?" Yelu Deguang's voice was filled with anger.

"According to the scout's response, the enemy has entered Zhaozhou and stayed in Zhaoqing County, with unknown purpose!" Yelu Ruan carefully observed Yelu Deguang and replied: "Your Majesty, the other party is overestimating his abilities and has been following him. Among the ministers, he simply sent heavy troops to return south and completely annihilate it, and eliminated this tangled disaster."

The "cold bag" covered Yelu Deguang's eyes and could not see his expression. He seemed to think for a while before asking: "Who do you think is suitable for leading the army?"

Upon hearing the question, Yelu Ruan suddenly became energetic, buried her head slightly lowered, and did not dare to show any abnormality. She said calmly: "I, I am willing to go."

Taking the "cold bag" from his forehead, Yelu Deguang turned his head, looked at Yelu Ruan with his hazy eyes, blinked slowly a few times, and waved his hand: "Forget it, the Liu family's children are not worth worrying about. He is walking other ways and keeping such a long distance from my army is probably afraid of our attack. It's all time to go to Zhenzhou, and returning to Shangjing is important. Just ignore him!"

"Yes!" Yelu Ruan responded calmly, looking very respectful.

After retracting his gaze from Yelu Ruan, Yelu Deguang put the "cold bag" on his forehead and continued to absorb heat, and continued to ask: "What's the news coming from Kaifeng? What's the situation with the uncle? Where has Liu Zhiyuan been?"

"Go back to Your Majesty!" This time he spoke to Zhang Li: "The pseudo-emperor led his army south and had not yet entered the Heluo land. The uncle sent someone to report that in order to prevent the Hedong army, he has been ordered by your order. Li Congyi, the youngest son of Emperor Mingzong of Li Tang, became the emperor and rebuilt the Tang Dynasty. In the name of Li Tang, he gathered troops and horses to fight against Liu Zhiyuan."

"I'm afraid that this will still be impossible to resist Liu Zhiyuan!" Yelu Deguang didn't look very optimistic.

"Even if you can't resist it, it will be enough to cause trouble to Liu Zhiyuan and prevent him from occupying the Central Plains easily!" Zhang Li replied.

Exhausted a burning breath, Yelu Deguang touched his dizzy head and suddenly changed the topic: "After shrinking his troops, now all the states in Hebei, the heart of rebelling against me will be increasing..."

No one dared to answer this, for fear of angering Yelu Deguang. It is said that the tiger when injured is the most dangerous. At this time, the Liao Emperor was in this state and would be angry when touched.

Seeing the reaction of his subordinates, Yelu Deguang also understood. He endured the unbearable heat and pain in his body and sighed: "When I crossed Liyang, I said that there were three mistakes in this southern expedition. He was willing to plunder the grass and grain, and to enclose the private wealth of the people, and did not send the governors back to the battlefield. Now it seems that one more thing is necessary to add an act of pirated city slaughtering..."
