Northeast, underwater in Ruoluo, Che Lianchuan.

After Xue Shixiong, the general of the left guard, led more than 20,000 Liaodong garrison troops to the northeast from Fuyu direction, they burned and killed and plundered all the way. The defenders were invincible. The Khitans fled and heard the news. However, because they did not understand the situation of the Northeast, they could not find useful information from the captured Khitans. Xue Shixiong and his subordinates had rich experience in fighting outside the frontier and were not optimistic about the northern expedition of Anzhou. In addition, the Liaodong soldiers came for a long journey and were ambitious and could not return empty-handed. Therefore, after the army entered Chelianchuan, they stopped immediately. The soldiers seized the time to recover their strength, regain their energy, and were ready to go. A large number of scouts from the northeastern hinterland went deep into the two sides of the Hechenshui River to find out the news and set the correct goal for the next step of action.

The Liaodong garrison stopped moving, and the Khitans who were running and rushing to the ground gained precious breathing time. The Khitan control strings on both sides of the Ruoluo River gathered from all directions. Keerqin, Xitu, Guo Erluo, and Weng gathered together to the head of Yelu Tieli, the chief commander of Diela. Tens of thousands of control strings worked together to go to the outside world.

Xue Shixiong was overjoyed when he saw the Khitans flocking to him. What he was most worried about was that the Khitans remained rational, avoided fighting, and guerrillas from all sides. The happiest thing was that the Khitan tribes gathered together in anger and fought to the death with their own sides, so that their own sides could maximize their advantages, use their own strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings, and earn their contributions in one battle.

Just as Xue Shixiong was about to fight with his soldiers and was about to launch the strongest attack, the Khitans suddenly shot a letter and sent a message. The chief of Diela tribe Yelu Tielli requested to see the commander of the Central Turkish army, and there was a major message. In order to win the other party's trust, Yelu Tielli specially revealed a major secret that could definitely tempt the other party, that is, Bailang Li Fengyun, Bulishe Asunuer and Dahe Duluo, the leader of the Eight Khitan tribes alliance, were discussing the alliance plan in Chang Seoul on the Hongshui River.

Xue Shixiong's first reaction was that he didn't believe it and sneered. This was too absurd and could not happen at all. Yelu Tielli's deception was too clumsy, so he took this worst strategy to delay time. This also proves that the Khitans are afraid and have become in chaos, which is the best time to attack.

However, in the two years of Xue Shixiong's expedition in the east and two years of garrison in Liaodong, he still had a certain understanding of the Khitan tribes and knew that Diela was one of the core forces of the Khitan eight tribes. His leader Yelu Tielli was also the best among the eight tribes of the Khitan tribes. He was brave and good at fighting. Such a person, at such a critical moment, gathered the troops to control the strings in Che Lianchuan and put on a decisive battle with the Central Turkish army. It was very abnormal in itself. After all, the strength outside the Great Wall is limited and they have deep resentment. When the disaster comes, they will definitely make their own profits and fight on their own. A loose sand makes it impossible to gather together to fight head-on decisively with the Central Turkish army. If something goes wrong, it is a monster. Xue Shixiong judges from this that something must have happened in the Northeast battlefield and the eight tribes of the Khitan tribes, otherwise the scene in front of him will not be explained.

Xue Shixiong immediately told his subordinates about the content of Yelu Tielli's book of shooting and expressed his doubts.

Wu Ben Lang General Luo Yi said bluntly, "Ming Gong was worried too much, Donghu was cunning and unreliable, and Yelu Tielli's words were even more absurd and sinister. In my opinion, Ming Gong didn't need to pay attention. With a command, the three armies came out together to kill him without leaving any armor, and all the conspiracies were destroyed."

Wu Ben Lang General Wang Bian is an old subordinate of Xue Shixiong. He acted steadily. When he was in charge of the Western territory, the two of them fought side by side as the commander and deputy commander of the Hexi garrison army. They fought side by side, bloody outside the border, and were like brothers and sisters. So at this moment, he naturally stood on Xue Shixiong's side and supported Xue Shixiong's view. "Ming Gong's doubts are quite reasonable. Our primary goal for this trip is the Northeast. For this reason, we not only attack the Donghu people, attack the Turks in Songmoya Banner and the Wu tribes on the north bank of the Ruoluo River, but also launch a fatal blow to the rebels who went out to the frontier. If they succeed, we will have the merit of expanding territory, so we must be cautious in our actions, especially under the current harsh conditions. We must first ensure our own safety, and then we can attack at the right time, and achieve the greatest victory."

Luo Yi snorted coldly, his eyes showing disdain, but he did not refute.

He is also a powerful general in the border area of ​​New Town. Of course, he knows the difficulty of expeditioning to the northeast and the heavy pressure Xue Shixiong has been under. As for the current domestic situation and the political situation of the two capitals, the Holy Lord and the Central Government are most likely to carry out the Eastern Expedition to the end. Wherever they fall, they must get up to reverse the political downturn. In this way, the Holy Lord and the Central Government not only need the chaos in the situation in Anzhou and Northeast, but also need the Liaodong Town Garage Army to be accurate in the third expedition. Therefore, Xue Shixiong only allows victory but not defeat in this trip, and of course it is difficult to win. This forces Xue Shixiong to retreat and seek second best, not seek merit, but seek no mistakes.

For Xue Shixiong, as long as he did not defeat the war in this trip, as long as there were no casualties of soldiers, even if he returned without success, it would not affect the third Eastern Expedition. On the contrary, once the plan of the third Eastern Expedition is affected or even destroyed, Xue Shixiong will not be able to redeem his crimes even if he died. In this unfavorable situation, it is impossible to expect Xue Shixiong to be brave and move forward. Therefore, after Wang Bian publicly supported Xue Shixiong, Luo Yi immediately closed his mouth wisely. Although he was tough and domineering, he was not a naughty young man who did not turn back without hitting the wall. He had to tolerate when he should be tolerated.

Xue Shixiong stroked his long beard with his hand, nodded slightly, and then looked at the Wu Benlang General Pei Renji, with his eyes showing a look of inquisitiveness.

Pei Renji comes from the Pei family in Hedong, and Xue Shixiong comes from the Xue family in Hedong. They are both wealthy families in Hedong, and they have a lot of interests. At this moment, they are expeditions outside the border, so of course they have to support each other.

Among the three wealthy families in Hedong, the Liu family, Pei family and Xue family, among which the Liu family is the most noble, with many royal relatives, and the Pei family has the longest inheritance, the most powerful, the most powerful, and the most influential. The Xue family is at the end, and the noble is not as noble as the Liu family, and the inheritance is not as good as the Pei family, but it develops very quickly and is among the best among the emerging aristocratic families that have risen in the past two or three hundred years. It is also because of this that the Xue family is inferior to the Liu family and the Pei family in terms of aristocratic rank. Generally, in public, the children of the Xue family respect the Liu family and the Pei family to maintain the unity within the Hedong aristocratic group.

Pei Renji hesitated and said, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Since the Khitans came to him on their own initiative, of course they must meet him. If they can find out the other party's background and explore the situation in the Northeast, it will definitely be beneficial to our next attack."

"Good!" Xue Shixiong no longer hesitated, and decisively shot Yelu Tieli, and made an appointment to meet before the formation.

When the two sides met, Yelu Tielli was respectful, with a low attitude, and his words and speech were quite good, which won Xue Shixiong's favor and had a good first impression of him.

"You said Bailang, Asunaduer and Daheduluo formed a bloody alliance on the banks of the Hongshui River." Xue Shixiong went straight to the point, "How do you believe me?"

Yelu Tielli bowed and said solemnly, "General, the war in the Northeast has ended."

Xue Shixiong smiled, looked contemptuous, and his good impression of him was greatly reduced, "How did it end? When did it end? Can you inform me in detail?"

Yelu Tielli immediately started from Li Fengyun's surprise attack on the fallen city in Songshan, and detailed the story of the Yaolai army, the destruction of Yaonian army, the war in Wudan city, and the most critical situation in the Northeast, Ashinaduer betrayed the desert. Yelu Tielli did not experience it personally, and all heard from others. Many truths have been covered up in the rumors, but this has nothing to do with the overall situation. It is an indisputable fact that the victory in the northern expedition of Anzhou and the end of the Northeast War. Yelu Tielli did not deceive anything and told him frankly.

Xue Shixiong went from disbelief to suspicion, from suspicion to suspicion, and finally he believed it, because Yelu Tieli said one last sentence: Han Shiye and Dahe Duluo led their troops to the east and were rushing to Chelianchuan. After waiting for a few days, Han Shiye and Dahe Duluo arrived, and the truth was revealed.

Yelu Tielli was worried that Xue Shixiong would not believe it, and was afraid that Xue Shixiong would misunderstand that he was a delaying plan. He commanded the Liaodong border army to launch a brazen attack regardless of the situation. So in order to express his sincerity, he specially took out five thousand livestock and some horse materials to Xue Shixiong, hoping that Xue Shixiong could wait patiently for several days and wait for Han Shixiong to arrive.

After Xue Shixiong returned, he told Luo Yi, Wang Bian and Pei Renji, three Wu Benlang generals. The three were surprised and were skeptical. If this was the fact, the white-haired thief Li Fengyun and the rebel Li Zixiong were very lucky. Who would have expected that after they left the frontier, they not only won Anzhou with lightning speed, but also swept across the Northeast in just over a month. Although the end of the Northeast war was because Bulishe Ashinaduer raised his troops to rebel, betrayed the desert, and urgently needed allies and needed the support of Middle-earth, but this was the luck of Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong, and it would be impossible to accept it.

However, this change in the situation in the northeast was very unfavorable to the Liaodong garrison's expedition to the northeast. As soon as they set foot in the northeast, their opponents actually formed a group of rebels headed by the two Lis, the Turkic army headed by Asuna Dur, and the Xi tribe and the Khitan two Donghu tribes led by Ah Huizheng and Dahe Durou, joined hands to form an alliance, which was very different from what they expected. At that time, they thought that the northern expedition of Anzhou was in chaos in the northeast, and all forces fought fiercely, and they happened to go in and defeat them one by one. The fisherman benefited, but he did not expect that the facts and imagination were too lingering. The Liaodong garrison suddenly fell into a passive and was in a dilemma.

"If Yelu Tielli deliberately deceives us so that their reinforcements can win time to arrive at Chelianchuan, we will be fooled." Luo Yi raised a question, "If Yelu Tielli is true, we should attack even more. Before Han Shiyan and Dahe Duluo arrive, he will severely damage Yelu Tielli, kill and plunder, and then return with a full load. Otherwise, Han Shiyan will come, proving that the overall situation in the Northeast has been determined. We will return home empty-handed? Wouldn't this expedition be gained? Wouldn't the soldiers complain?"

Xue Shixiong shook his hand, "Never. The purpose of the Holy Lord establishing the Anton Duwei Mansion is very clear, which is to take over Anzhou and Northeast, take over the martial arts of expanding territory, and at the same time seize the initiative in the overall confrontation between the north and the south. But how could the Turks in the desert watch as far as possible watch as Middle-earth occupy Anzhou and Northeast? They must fight back with all their might. In this situation, if Middle-earth can recruit Anzhou and Northeast as quickly as possible, quickly incorporate Anzhou and Northeast into the Middle-earth territory, and firmly control and take the initiative in the north-south confrontation, the result will be very beneficial to Middle-earth."

Wang Bian and Pei Renji firmly supported Xue Shixiong and opposed attacking the Khitans before Han Shiye arrived. After all, China-Turkey interests are paramount, and personal and small group interests should be subject to China-Turkey interests at critical moments.

On December 15th, Han Shiyan and Dahe Duluo led their troops to Chelianchuan.

That night, Han Shiye visited Xue Shixiong. The two sides had a great conversation and the atmosphere was harmonious.
