1301 I have been attacked one after another, and I can't stand it anymore

For Yelu Abaoji, this period of time is undoubtedly extremely difficult... After suffering these series of blows one after another, he has been on the verge of collapse physically and mentally.

First, he learned that the surprise attack on the rear of the Wei army failed. Not only did Yelu Balid, Shi Luyin, Yelu Langwu, Wang Yu, Zhao Dejun and other groups of generals who were very active during the war in the past were killed, but nearly 100,000 troops were lost... In addition, he also lost Yelu Laogu, Zhang Yanze and other military generals, and the Southern Dynasties had already gained a little upper hand, which caused the morale of the Khitan troops to be severely damaged;

Then Lu Wenjin rebelled and surrendered to Wei, inciting Pingzhou and other places, and even the Han people and civilians in western Liaoning all mutinized and changed their flags, and the Xi people of the tribes also turned against each other... This lost a large amount of land and population, but the Wei Dynasty attacked the rear and successfully intercepted a large amount of supplies. It was like stretching out a hand to control the western Liaoning, and it was like pinching the Khitan's throat tightly;

After experiencing such unprecedented defeat, the frustration was like a sharp knife, squeezing Yelu Abaoji's heart... But after all, he was not a desperate gambler who was so angry that he wanted to try to get back immediately. He knew that he would never win this battle, so he had to stop and leave as soon as possible...

But even though they had made the worst plans, the people of the Kiagas and the Uguli escaped at the last minute, and the other subordinates were killed in a mess. They were like dogs of a broken family and were chased all the way... Yelu Abaoji naturally found it difficult to accept.

Hearing his son Yelu Deguang urgently persuaded him to abandon the tent of Nabo, the feeling of shame was like a knife, and he twitched hard on Yelu Abaoji's heart. His muscles in his eyes couldn't stop twitching.

Yelu Deguang saw Yelu Abaoji silent for a moment, his face was not bloody at all, and it was so pale that it was very scary... He paused slightly, and had to persuade him again:

"Father... I am in a hurry to follow the power, so I have to abandon the tent of Nabo and speed up the retreat. After all, I, the Khitan, pulled the tent, and although I did not allow any mistakes in the past... I am now in a hurry, so I cannot let my father fall into danger. Therefore, my son is brave enough to hope that my father will set off as soon as possible!"

If the Khitan king's tent was laid down, he would stand wooden pillars and bamboo tents, painted pillars and brocades as wall robes, add red embroidery foreheads, and embroidered yellow cloth as ground barriers, and all windows would be made of felt... The outer periphery should also be set up layered felt tents for the royal family to live in accordance with specifications. Thousands of Khitan soldiers in the Guards were used, and thousands of people were taken in turn every day. The outside Zhuo Gun was forbidden to be a village, and at night, he would draw his gun to move Zhuo Yu's tent. The surrounding horses were rejected, and there were pawns outside, and the bells were sent to the guards... In fact, there was no difference from the imperial palace of an empire.

Although the Khitan will set up the five capitals of Linhuang Prefecture, Dading Prefecture, Liaoyang Prefecture, Xijin Prefecture, and Datong Prefecture according to its original trajectory, according to its east, west, south, north and central directions, successively. However, the capitals that cannot be moved are retained in the capitals, and the center of the state's military and political affairs has always been flowing with the Nabo tent where the king is located.

When the Khitan king was in charge of the battle, the wolf-headed flag was erected again in the Nabo tent, which was undoubtedly equivalent to the position of the commander flag of the three armies... However, now he had to be defeated and fled, and threw the commander flag of the three armies and even the palace of his own empire to the enemy... What does this mean?

At present, a large number of felt tents and curtains that were originally laid on the periphery of Nabo were loaded on the chariots. They were abandoned on the way when they fled, and they must have fallen into the hands of the Wei army... If Nabo's tent was abandoned, they would be viewed by Emperor Li Tianqu in the end, and even announced to the world as spoils... Even if the country was not considered as the level of shame to the collapse of the country and the national destruction, Yelu Abaoji was a very arrogant master after all. If he had to bear such a national humiliation, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him by several swords...

But Yelu Abaoji also knew very well that although the tent he was in represented the prestige and dignity of the Khitan royal family, it would be best to keep it... But under this situation, the carriage that requires more than a dozen horses to drag is limited in its journey and has too big goals, which makes the Wei army pursuers look like a moving living target...

Yelu Deguang, the second son, has a similar temperament to his own son, so Yelu Abaoji is also very clear. According to the Han allusion, this is called a viper stinging hand. A hero can untie the wrist. When he knows that things are at a critical moment, he must give up and make a decision immediately.

"...Isn't it an indecisive person to prepare for Malay?"

Yelu Abaoji said in a deep voice, but he didn't feel his voice was very hoarse, his chest was undulating, even like an old bellows, with a strange sound mixed with breathing and speech... He planned to straighten his body as much as possible and cheer up, and make the Khitan officials around him feel a little relieved, but he still staggered and walked forward tremblingly... Seeing this, Yelu Deguang and several close ministers around him hurried forward to help each other.

Riding on the horse in front of him, Yelu Abaoji pushed away Yelu Deguang who was guarding him. He glanced at the beautiful embroidered forehead and yellow cloth embroidered dragon, and decorated with a very luxurious tent. Suddenly, a very desolate feeling of sorrow came to his heart...

After all, according to the "History of Liao", when Yelu Abao grew up, he was "nine feet long, sharp and sharp, with his eyes gaze at people, and he was 300 pounds of bows." He was the kind of person with a mighty and majestic spirit since he was a child, but now he has a look of disdain and a little hunched. Although others dare not mention it, Yelu Abaoji felt that his body was getting worse and worse, as if he had entered the twilight years...

In theory, Yelu Abaoji is not in his fifties now, and is even younger than the Wei Emperor Li Tianqu, so he was treated as a little brother by the overlord Li Keyong of Hedong... However, since the fall of the Bohai Kingdom and the Great Witness Team returned, Abaoji vaguely felt that his physical condition was getting worse and worse...

After all, people have birth, old age, sickness and death... However, because of this, Yelu Abaoji took advantage of his energy and physical strength not long ago and prepared to fight the national war with the Wei Dynasty. On the one hand, he wanted to try to gain a greater foundation for the descendants of the Khitan; on the other hand, he found that Emperor Li Tianqu of Wei also intended to go north to expand the border and continue to regain the hometown of the Tang court in the old days, so this was also to eliminate the future troubles of the Khitan.

However, this national war ended with the complete defeat of the Khitan... The major blow that Yelu Abaoji suffered was even stronger than the other... His physical condition deteriorated sharply with his mood. At this time, he was just forcing his body. The consciousness that was barely maintained could not be said to collapse at any time.

When Yelu Abaoji finally sat firmly on the horse's back, from the battle groups where the Wei army fought against Xie Yanzhang, Liu Ci and An Shenqi in the southwest, more than ten bloody military cavalry rushed towards the horse. The leader Xiaowen's armor was broken, and there were two deep bone-sighted wounds hanging on his body, and blood was still flowing out... He was still breathing, so he reported quickly:

"Report! Prime Minister Xiao died in battle, and the Pishi Army troops could no longer resist the attack of the Southern Dynasty soldiers. I hope the Emperor of Heaven retreated quickly!"

As soon as this sentence came into his ears, Yelu Abaoji's whole body suddenly shook. His eyes were a little out of focus, and he said with an intermittent hissing:

"Xiao Agu has only stopped...I have lost another confidant...uh!"
