Chapter 198 Let’s Go, Pick Up Your Mother
In the rain and fog, the sky gradually darkened.

On the side of the Wuluan River, in a large camp on the south side, faint wailing sounds were heard, mixed with shouting and cursing, but they drowned out all the wailing sounds.

"Fuck him!"

Yelu Huage was wearing a mink coat with almost no lining inside. While cursing, he kicked over a table, and the debris on it was scattered all over the floor. Most of a leg of lamb rolled to the ground, stained with dirt.

On both sides of the camp gate, the daughters of chiefs of several small tribes prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling with fear.

"That bastard Yelu Lage always urges me to attack, attack! I'm going to attack his mother!"

Yelu Hua Ge's mouth smelled heavily of alcohol, and he looked a little drunk, but he just kept venting his anger, "More than a thousand of my men died in half a month, and he didn't even bother to send me a few thousand soldiers, but just let my men be wasted! What's the point of saying that the heavy rain arrows are powerless? That bitch Shuliduo can't use a bow and arrow, so I can't use one either!

"Hundreds of people will die in each attack. If there are more attacks, how can I be the Khan? Yelu Lage, this bastard, only cares about his own throne and his own position as the Great Khan!"

Several of his trusted generals were around, and they were also a little confused at this moment, all expressing their dissatisfaction angrily: "Just now, the king sent someone to urge us to attack the village on the mountain at dusk tomorrow morning. At the same time, the king was not satisfied with today's battle situation, saying that we were about to attack, but were easily forced back by Zhao Siwen, and scolded us for not holding on for another quarter of an hour..."

"I'm going to fuck his mother!"

Yelu Hua Ge Buyu got angry again: "Let him attack! Let him attack! I sent a thousand men to attack the camp today, and three hundred died! Let him kill 30% of Yelu La Ge's men, and see if he will collapse!"

To be honest, the soldiers under Yelu Huage were able to survive until 30% of their casualties occurred before they collapsed, which shows that they were indeed the best and bravest soldiers in Mobei.

For the army of Mobei, if the casualties reached one-tenth, they would basically lose their morale. Perhaps the troops under Abaoji were more capable, but not much. So this was also the reason why the Jurchens were still able to launch a charge after suffering more than half of their casualties, which made Shili Qixiang praise them as being no less than the elite troops of Mobei.

To be fair, Yelu Huago had done everything he could to capture Shulido, including making strict demands on his subordinates and using his own wealth to reward several key trusted generals, all in order to break into the camp and capture Shulido as soon as possible.

But after repeated fierce battles, the Shuliduo village always looked shaky, but in the end it always remained resilient, forcing Yelu Huage to suffer continuous casualties. As the vanguard commander, he also ended up being scolded every day.

Considering that he was a member of the same Yelu clan, every time he held a military meeting, he would be scolded by Yelu Lage in front of countless people. How could he have any face left?

Thinking of this, Yelu Huage could no longer bear it, and smashed the wine glass in his hand, ready to leave the tent in a rage: "I must go to Yelu Lage to ask for an explanation today! If it weren't for me and my brothers, would he be able to sit on the throne!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several generals nearby sobered up immediately.

It was understandable that Yelu Huage was drunk, and it was okay for them to privately agree with their master and complain, but they still had some common sense. If their master cursed Yelu Lage out of anger, they, the generals under him, would be the ones who would suffer in the end.

You have to know that even if many people died, the ones who attacked the stronghold in the front were still these generals...

"Hua Ge Khan, please don't act rashly... The king has been very ruthless these past few days, and even sent a lot of his own tribesmen to attack. What can you expect from going to the camp? Just be patient for now..."

"Yes, yes. The stronghold will be destroyed in the next two days. The Khan must not let this matter cause displeasure with the King. There are many people in the royal court who are jealous of the Khan's status..."

Several people rushed forward, some pulled him, some hugged him, and finally managed to calm Yelu Huage down.

The latter naturally understood that there would be no result if he went to the camp to make trouble. He simply felt that he had lost face and did not want to lose face in front of his subordinates. After being persuaded a little, he went down the slope, cursing loudly while letting the daughters of the chiefs pour wine for him.

But he was still a little angry, so he grabbed a woman he liked and pressed her hard between his legs, laughing ferociously: "Wait until I capture that bitch Shuliduo, and see what Yelu Lage can say!"

After that, he laughed drunkenly again: "You all should work hard. If I am the first to break into the village, Shuliduo must fall into my hands first. When I am happy, I will let you have a taste of what it feels like to be the queen."

Everyone was tempted. They had known for a long time that their master was both afraid and hated Shuliduo, and at the same time, he coveted her extremely in his fear. However, Yelu Huago rarely expressed this in the past. Perhaps he made such a promise today because he was furious and drunk, and he might go back on his word the next day.

But even so, the generals in the tent lowered their heads and exchanged glances with each other.

That's the Queen of Earth, Shulido...

On the grassland, her prestige was almost equal to that of Abaoji, and she was high above everyone else. In the past, even Yelu Huago could only be submissive in front of her, no different from an ant, not to mention the tribal generals who were not even qualified to meet her...

For such a person, even just the thought of touching him is enough to make one's blood boil and unable to restrain oneself...

Yelu Huage looked at the expressions of the crowd and also laughed.

He was eager to break into the camp, capture Shulido, and force the noble, dignified, and inviolable queen to submit to him, and then humiliate her severely.

Just thinking this, he had already held down the chief's daughter in his hands and increased his speed roughly.

Naturally, everyone turned a blind eye, gnawing on mutton and drinking strong liquor, all of them feeling a little more breathless, thinking that if they made a ruthless effort tomorrow, they might be able to break into the village in one fell swoop.

However, at this moment.

A hurried sound of footsteps was heard from outside, and in an instant, an officer rushed in, and without even waiting to salute, he spoke in a panic.

"Hua Ge Khan, the people on the mountain are coming down! Led by the Queen herself, they are charging into the King's main camp!"

"What!?"

All the generals are fools.

Yelu Huage was also stunned at first, and then he felt it was unbelievable and ridiculous.

But he had sharp ears and immediately heard faint shouts and cries in the rain. He then looked and saw that the other generals seemed to have heard it as well. He was so frightened that he pushed the woman away. Without even having time to pull up his trousers, he hurriedly stood up, glaring and cursing drunkenly.

"What do you do for a living? I told you to keep an eye on the mountain!"

"The fog was too heavy at night, and we, we were not prepared for a moment..." The officer looked at the extravagant scene in the tent, and thought of himself leading people to patrol outside in the rain. In fact, he was very nervous in his heart, but he could not care about these things at the moment, and said with a sad face: "We, we didn't expect them to dare to kill us..."

“Fuck!”

Yelu Huage kicked the table in front of him away and staggered out, cursing loudly: "Shuliduo, that bitch, actually dared to break into Yelu Lage's camp. Is she stupid?!"

After saying this, he looked at the people who had not yet recovered, and shouted again: "What are you still standing there for! Bring me my sword and follow me out of the camp. We must not let this bitch fall into Yelu Lage's hands first!"

……

Hengshan, a mountain pass.

The roadside was littered with corpses. If you looked closely, you could tell that these people were wounded from behind and died while fleeing.

The Wang Ting soldiers stationed in the front camp were caught off guard and were attacked by the troops in the back camp almost in an instant. In addition, they had no time to contact the main camp at the foot of the mountain at night, so they retreated down the mountain after a little resistance.

At this time, thousands of riders stood at the pass in the dark, just watching the chaos below the mountain.

But everyone understood that the camps of the royal court at the foot of the mountain were only frightened by the sudden night attack, not the so-called camp roar. After all, there were fences everywhere outside the camp at the foot of the mountain. If there was any unusual movement, the news would probably have reached Yelu Lage's ears before anyone approached the camp.

But that's enough.

Among the countless people, Shuliduo was wearing a chain mail armor and an iron helmet. Because he was not wearing a cloak, he looked less luxurious and more dashing.

At this moment, she no longer looked as haggard as she did during the day, nor did she look as hopeless as she did during the day.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were calm and her face was cold. She just watched indifferently as a cavalry team holding torches came out of the southern camp in the rain and fog and galloped towards the central camp.

"Queen, that's enough."

Zhao Siwen pulled the reins and turned to look.

Shuliduo, however, remained calm, staring at the mountain below. After he heard the news that the two armies had engaged in battle, he gently pressed the Tang sword at his waist, then pondered for a few breaths, slowly pushed out the handle with his thumb, and finally pulled out the Tang sword and pointed it forward with decisiveness.

"Breakout!"

"The Queen's order, break out!"

In the rain, deep voices were heard first, and soon, countless oil-covered torches were seen being raised.

The mountain path was not easy to walk on, and even seemed a little slippery due to the rain, but the thousands of Han cavalrymen eventually increased their speed, and then in the rain and fog, they rumbled into the camp where Yelu Huago was still continuously dispatching troops.

……

Down the mountain, in the melee, a horn sounded from the south.

Shili Qixiang, who was dressed in a Shulido outfit, suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the horn sound.

"The queen has already rushed out!" She was overjoyed, and then hurriedly looked at Sanqianyuan next to her: "What should we do now?"

"What else can we do?"

Sanqianyuan pointed to the south and said, "Go ahead. That's Yelu Huage's group. Go in his direction."

"Are you crazy?" Shili Qixiang was stunned, and then said: "Yelü Huage has the most troops, so isn't that difficult to deal with?"

"Just listen to me."

Sanqianyuan turned his horse around without hesitation, and did not care whether Shili Qixiang would follow him or not, nor did he care whether the Mobei infantrymen under Shuliduo could escape or not, and just headed south.

After all, these Mobei soldiers who were attracting firepower for Shuliduo were already abandoned pawns in Sanqianyuan's heart. Perhaps it was the same in Shuliduo's heart. Arranging Shili Qixiang to dress up as the queen was not only to confuse Yelu Lage and others, it might also have the effect of confusing these Mobei soldiers.

He rode out and suddenly shouted in the crowd with his inner strength: "Oh no! The queen is charging north!"

In the chaos of the fight, the voice was heard from far away, and everyone subconsciously looked towards the north.

Shili Qixiang was also shocked and at a loss as to what to do.

"Take off this dress."

Sanqianyuan pointed at Shili Qixiang's pale purple sable coat, and then without saying anything else, she headed south, disappearing in the mixed crowd in the blink of an eye. But the next moment, she actually saw Yelu Huage's group suddenly move northward frantically, galloping all the way, and actually ignored the few cavalry who broke through to the south.

Shili Qixiang suddenly realized, and although he didn't know why, he took off the extremely eye-catching purple military uniform as ordered, and led the remaining troops south.

……

"Where did Shulido go!?"

Yelu Huago straightened up on his horse. In the rainy night, he could only see torches everywhere, but at a glance, he saw that they were all Wang Ting's troops.

But the generals on his left and right just looked confused. They wiped the rain off their faces and just looked at each other.

"Hua Ge Khan!"

At this time, a rider came from the south and said anxiously on horseback: "Hua Ge Khan, a cavalry broke out of our camp. We couldn't find you just now. We have reported it to the king. The king has now led his men to the south to pursue them!"

"It doesn't matter if someone escapes to the south. I just want to capture Shulido!" Yelu Huago was already eight parts sober after the fight, but his mouth was still full of alcohol and his tone was mixed with anger.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little tingling on their scalps.

Then, someone asked cautiously: "Hua Ge Khan, could there be the Queen among the cavalry that fled south..."

Yelu Huage was instantly sobered up.

At this time, a shout came from the large group of soldiers.

"Where is Yelu Hua Ge? Where is Yelu Hua Ge? How dare you leave your post without permission, leaving the camp empty? The king orders you to..."

“Fuck!”

Yelu Hua Ge looked back and saw that it was a servant of Yelu La Ge. He became furious, spurred his horse over, and in the astonished eyes of the latter and everyone around him, he suddenly slashed with his sword.

A head flew up into the sky and fell to the ground with a gurgling sound.

Everyone was suddenly stunned.

In the rain, half of Yelu Huage's face was covered with blood, which kept dripping down mixed with the rain.

His face was grim, he looked around and said in a fierce voice: "I am unlucky, and you are not lucky either! If we can't catch that bitch right now, Yelu Lage will chop off our heads!"

After this roar, he turned sharply to the south with a big knife in his hand, then lashed out with the horsewhip fiercely, and actually ran through the remaining attendants who were sent by Yelu Lage to question him. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they all avoided to the side, no longer daring to say anything to question him.

Then, all his men also burst into an uproar, and then hurriedly followed amid all kinds of curses. The large group of cavalry, which was still deceived, was led across the entire battlefield and turned south in the rain.

……

"Yaonian, Yaonian!"

In the south, Shili Qixiang, who had finally escaped, looked around and saw that there were only a few hundred horses following her. When she went to look for Sanqianyuan, there was no trace of him.

"The pursuers are following us, what are you going to do?" Brother Yaonian didn't ride a horse, but his heavy body allowed him to run quite fast.

"Let's split into two groups. I'll go look for Ao Gu, and you lead the pursuers to stop some of them to ensure the queen's safety." Shili Qixiang didn't have time to say more. After leaving this sentence, he immediately divided his troops into dozens of groups and headed east.

Brother Yaonian frowned his ugly face, looked back at the rumbling sound of horse hooves coming from the rain and fog, and then he fled south without saying a word.

------

An eagle's cry was heard in the sky.

Li Mang walked out of the eaves, put his fingers on the corners of his mouth, and blew an equally loud whistle.

A moment later, a handsome Saker Falcon spread its wings and landed, standing on the top of the city wall. It fluttered its long and wide wings, scattering water droplets.

“Gadfly!?”

In the corner, Yelu Yaoguang exclaimed in surprise.

But Li Mang ignored him. He squinted his eyes, took the letter box at Haidongqing's feet, took out the letter from it, turned back and walked into the city wall.

Yelu Yaoguang wanted to follow him in, but Gong Yangzuo, who was standing next to him, held his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry."

Next to him, Han Zhigu wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, seeing the cold auras emanating from the bad guys on both sides, he just kept silent.

Inside the city wall, under a few bright lights, dozens of armored generals stood with swords drawn, all with solemn expressions.

At the head of the hall, Xiao Yan sat astride a chair. He casually took the letter from Li Mang's hand, glanced at it, and then chuckled.

Then, he finally spoke, but in fluent Mobei dialect.

"I heard that your king has returned. Do you know about this?"

In the middle of the hall, several generals stationed at Gubeikou knelt on one knee, looking at each other, and then one of the commanders replied in a buzzing voice: "General Xiao, the strange fragrance of Shili beside the queen did tell us about it two days ago."

"Then I have a question. Are you loyal to the king or the queen?"

"Of course..." Several people hesitated for a moment, but all looked at their commander.

The commander glanced around and saw two Mobei cavalry generals standing in the queue on the right side of Xiao Yan.

These two cavalry generals were the commanders of the thousand cavalrymen that Shuliduo left in Yandi in the past...

He thought for a moment, then kowtowed, "I don't know what General Xiao meant. I only know that the Queen ordered me to stay here a few months ago to welcome General Xiao out of the country..."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh, then nodded and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, General Xiao."

The commander heaved a sigh of relief, and after he stood up, he felt that he had recovered from the intimidation of dozens of armored generals.

"Let the ram left and bring people in."

"Yes." A general strode out.

After a moment, Yelu Yaoguang was brought in.

Xiao Yan didn't call him first, but just let him look at him with his round eyes.

He waved left at the ram.

The latter came forward and laughed strangely, "Captain, what's the mission?"

"Xifengkou."

Xiao Yan stood up and chuckled, "Please excuse me for making this trip. Don't make any mistakes this time."

Gong Yangzuo was anxious and whispered: "Last time he fell into the sea, I couldn't do anything about it! If you make a mistake again this time, I will cut off my head and use it as a urinal for you! Just tell me, do you want him dead or alive?"

"Alive, an eyesore."

Xiao Yan thought about it and said, "Forget it..."

"Leave it to me!" Gong Yangzuo snorted heavily and walked out without waiting for him to finish.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh, and naturally didn't call him, but looked at Yelu Yaoguang.

At this moment, the young man in front of him noticed that dozens of eyes in the room were looking at him.

Even someone like him, in this unfamiliar environment, facing a group of strange warriors who were more murderous than the generals in the royal court, couldn't help but forget what he wanted to say.

He swallowed and could clearly see several Mobei generals on his left and right, but they didn't look at him. They just glanced to the side or lowered their heads as if they didn't see him.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Are you Yao Guang?"

"That's right." Yelu Yaoguang seemed to be very frugal with words. He had a stern face and said nothing.

"I heard that you and your mother have a very good relationship."

"That's right." Yelu Yaoguang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is my mother?"

"As you can see, I was on my way to pick her up."

"Pick her up?" Yelu Yaoguang suddenly became anxious and hurriedly followed him: "Who are you?"

"As for me, you will know from now on."

"Can I come with you?" Yelu Yaoguang asked hurriedly in a low voice: "Ah Weng, let me call you Ah Ye, are you my father's brother?"

Xiao Yan suddenly stopped, frowned, and looked up, but Gong Yangzuo had already run away, so he smiled casually.

"of course."
