Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 800 Yelu Dezhong: Prince Consort, what do you think? [3 more]

The Jin soldiers chose to retreat without fear in the face of danger, thus avoiding a fatal battle with the aggressive army of 100,000.

Liu Gao breathed a sigh of relief.

With his sharp eyesight, he could tell at a glance that the Jin soldiers had at least 50,000 to 60,000 troops.

He had only 30,000 cavalrymen, most of whom were Liao soldiers who had been frightened by the Jin soldiers.

The tens of thousands of Liao soldiers behind Princess Tianshou were also like stray dogs fleeing in panic as they were chased by the Jin soldiers.

If a real fight breaks out, Liu Gao will probably still have to rely on the heroes of Liangshan. Fortunately, the Jin soldiers were scared off by the 100,000-strong army.

"Official!"

Princess Tianshou urged her horse forward and crossed with Liu Gao's. She held Liu Gao's hand and burst into tears without saying a word:
"My father..."

Liu Gao's heart sank. Seeing Princess Tianshou like this, the wolf leader of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Hui, was probably dead...

Slow!

Why should I say also?
"Princess, we are rushing to help Yanjing."

Liu Gao held Princess Tianshou's hand, and suddenly felt the focus of three pairs of sharp eyes...

Like a light on my back!

Liu Gao was still able to keep his heart as clear as ice and not be startled by the world. He asked Princess Tianshou:

"What is the current situation in Yanjing?"

Princess Tianshou shook her head with tears streaming down her face:
"Sir, Yanjing has already fallen, there is no need to go..."

Qiong Yao Nayan, who had been to Song Dynasty on a business trip at public expense and was very familiar with Liu Gao, added:
"My dear Prince Consort, the Wolf Lord was assassinated by a spy from the Jin Kingdom!
"That traitor Wu Yanguang took control of the military and actually led his people to surrender to the Jin Kingdom!

"We protected the princess and fought our way out. The Jin soldiers were chasing us closely. Fortunately, the prince consort arrived in time!"

"Father-in-law, he, ah——"

Liu Gao sighed:

"My lady, we can't stay here for long. Let's retreat back to Bazhou and make plans later."

Princess Tianshou naturally listened to him, so the two sides joined forces and returned to Bazhou.

……

Bazhou.

Princess Tianshou was so sad and exhausted that she was arranged to rest when she arrived in Bazhou.

As the commander of an army of more than 100,000 in Bazhou and the son-in-law recognized by Yelu Hui, Liu Gao organized a dinner.

Yelu Dezhong introduced to Liu Gao an important official of the Liao Kingdom whom he did not know:

"My dear son-in-law, this is Chu Jian, the Right Prime Minister of the Liao Dynasty."

Liu Gao took a look at the little old man with shifty eyes.

In the original novel, it was Chu Jian who went on a diplomatic mission to the Song Kingdom and bribed four treacherous ministers in order to save the Liao Kingdom.

Liu Gao and Chu Jian greeted each other, and Yelu Dezhong introduced two identical twin generals to Liu Gao:

"These two are the emperor's nephews. One is called Yelu Guozhen and the other is called Yelu Guobao. Both of them are brave enough to be matched by ten thousand men!"

Liu Gao enthusiastically shook hands with his two brothers-in-law, Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao.

There are countless brave men in "Water Margin", some of them are titles given by people, some are self-proclaimed, and these two are indeed powerful.

Yelu Guozhen and Dong Ping fought for fifty rounds without a clear winner, but Yelu Guozhen lost because Yelu Guobao sounded the horn to disrupt the fight.

After introducing Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao, Yelu De sighed:

"Unfortunately, four of the emperor's nephews, Yelu Derong, Yelu Dehua, Yelu Dezhong, and Yelu Dexin, were unable to escape..."

Liu Gao sighed for a while, and Yelu Dezhong introduced to Liu Gao the two remaining generals among the eleven generals: Ulikan and Qulichuqing.

Qiong Yao Na Yan introduced Kou Zhenyuan to Liu Gao. Liu Gao knew that Kou Zhenyuan and Qiong Yao Na Yan's CP nickname was "Don't chase a desperate enemy".

The uncle of the emperor, Kangli Ding'an, introduced Aliqi and Yaoer Weikang, two of the four generals of Danzhou, to Liu Gao:

"Sir, the four generals of Danzhou are all brave enough to fight against ten thousand men!
"It's a pity for Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji..."

It’s not a pity at all. Liu Gao remembered that in the original novel, Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji were both killed by Shi Jin with one knife.

Alichi and Yaoer Weikan were indeed good fighters, especially Alichi, who defeated Xu Ning in more than thirty rounds.

Zhang Qing attacked by surprise and hit Aliqi in the left eye with a stone. Aliqi fell off his horse, and Hua Rong, Lin Chong, Qin Ming and Suo Chao came out together and captured Aliqi alive.

Xu Ning once fought with Dong Ping for more than fifty rounds without a clear winner, so Alichi's strength must be above Dong Ping's.

Moreover, just one person like Alichi needs the service of six great Tiangang, which shows how much Liangshan values ​​him.

Unfortunately, the system only recognizes Song people and has no reaction to Liao people, so I can't see the attribute panel.

These people are what's left of the Liao Kingdom.

Deputy Commander He Zhongbao gave a summary report on the current situation of the Liao Kingdom to everyone present:

The huge Liao Kingdom now only has five states left: Zhuozhou, Bazhou, Xiongzhou, Mozhou, and Jizhou.

Most of these five states are among the "Sixteen States of Yanyun".

In other words, if Shi Jingtang, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, had not ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom would have been destroyed.

The Liao Kingdom's existing military strength, including the 75,000 troops who surrendered to Liu Gao, was about 150,000, which was enough to barely fight against the Jin Kingdom.

After the introduction, He Zhongbao looked at Yelu Dezhong, the brother of Yelu Hui, the Wolf Lord of the Liao Dynasty:
"My lord, which way should we go?"

"This……"

Yelu Dezhong subconsciously looked at Liu Gao.

He is not a man without his own opinion.

But maybe it was Stockholm syndrome, but Yelu Dezhong and his four sons had a "tidy" life.

During that period, they could only entrust their lives to Liu Gao, and Liu Gao finally succeeded in saving them.

Therefore, Yelu Dezhong trusted Liu Gao very much in his heart.

"Consort, what do you think?"

He Chongbao asked Yelu Dezhong, but Yelu Dezhong asked Liu Gao, which refreshed everyone's understanding of Liu Gao.

Liu Gao said without hesitation: "First of all, Liao will never surrender to Jin!"

His words were immediately recognized by everyone present.

Having set this tone, Liu Gao then said:

"Although the Liao Kingdom only has five states left, if we can improve our diplomacy, we may have a chance to turn things around."

"Prince Consort, the Southern...Song Kingdom is unreliable!"

He Zhongbao realized halfway through his words that Liu Gao was a southern barbarian, so he had to change his words in time:

"We have formed an alliance with them, but they don't help us at all..."

Liu Gao pointed at his nose:

"Yes, Song is unreliable, so I am your ally."

"you?"

Yelu Dezhong, He Zhongbao, and Aliqi looked at each other in bewilderment. Kangli Dingan quickly introduced Liu Gao:

“The Prince Consort has his own territory in Song State!
"Every one of the Prince Consort's subordinates is as brave as ten thousand men!

"If we can form an alliance with the Prince Consort, why should we in the Liao Dynasty fear the Golden Dog?"

Hi?

All the Liao people looked at Kangli Ding'an with strange expressions:

What benefit did he give you that you lick him so much?

If Kangli Ding'an was not the uncle of the Liao king, they would all suspect that Kangli Ding'an was Liu Gao's lackey!
However, when it comes to "courage unmatched by ten thousand men", Yelu Dezhong also came out to endorse Liu Gao:

"good!
"Each of the Prince Consort's subordinates is extremely brave, and even 50,000 Jin soldiers dare not engage him in battle!
"Bala, bala, bala..."

Yelu had to tell the story again about how Xue Lihuabao, Sha Wenjin and Sha Wenyin escaped.

Even the Liao Dynasty's younger brother, King Yelu Dezhong, said so, so the Liao people all recognized Liu Gao.

Yelu Guozhen asked Liu Gao very seriously:
"Brother-in-law, can you help us fight the golden dog?"

Just as Liu Gao was about to answer Yelu Guozhen, he heard the scout report:

"Two hundred thousand Jin soldiers are approaching Bazhou!"
