The prince is more stable

Chapter 425 Unexpected Siege
When people are angry, they always like to do impulsive things. Some impulses are just a small disturbance, but some are really fatal. The whole life may go astray because of this impulse.

It was a sunny day with just the right amount of sunshine.

Spring came a little early this year. Even in the first month of the year, the snow showed signs of melting, and the wind in the wilderness was no longer as biting and bitter.

Yelu Yanxi, accompanied by hundreds of personal guards, galloped westward. The wind whistled in his ears and the surrounding scenery rapidly receded from his sight.

I am as free as the wind, just like your tenderness, which cannot be retained...

After galloping five or six miles out of the camp, Yelu Yanhui's mood finally improved a little. He even shouted excitedly on horseback.

If you change your mind about some things, you may not have to be so stubborn.

What does it matter if this battle is humiliating? Yelu Yanxi is not the commander-in-chief, and he is not the one who should be held responsible.

He has tried to correct Yelu Chun's wrong tactics, but Yelu Chun is stubborn and unwilling to listen, and the Crown Prince can't do anything about it. Is it my fault?
He immediately wrote a memorial to His Majesty in Beijing, detailing Yelu Chun's mistakes and emphasizing that he had tried hard to persuade Yelu Chun, but Yelu Chun refused to listen, causing the Liao army to go further and further down the wrong path...

Regardless of whether this memorial is useful or not, it will help him wash away his dark history when he ascends the throne in the future.

If anyone uses this war to accuse him in the future, he can produce this memorial and make it public in court.

You see, I advised him at the time, but the coach didn't listen. Is this considered a black history? This is clearly the genius of the Liao emperor, which was revealed when he was a latent dragon.

Word of mouth and reviews are reversed instantly, isn’t that wonderful?
Yelu Yanxi became more and more excited as he thought about it while riding on his horse. One idea could help him get rid of possible difficulties in the future. Yelu Yanxi felt that he had an extraordinary IQ and that his tablet should be placed together with Zhuge Liang's after his death.

As for submitting a memorial to stab the emperor's uncle Yelu Chun in the back, there was no moral pressure at all.

Where does the family affection come from in the royal family? Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Chun are just bound together by interests. Now Yelu Chun's behavior is no longer in line with him. Is there anything wrong with stabbing him in the back?

It was a short distance, only about ten miles on horseback, but Yelu Yanxi gained a lot and his thoughts became clear.

Sure enough, going out of the camp to hunt was a wise decision. If he hadn't gone out for this trip, he would still be in the Liao army camp, feeling helpless and furious. How could he have thought of such a clever idea?

Yelu Yanxi was immersed in his own thoughts, like an experienced driver driving on the highway. When his mind became more and more empty, the guards behind him reminded him loudly that the end of the hunt was ahead, a nameless forest.

Yelu Yanxi laughed heartily and immediately ordered the bows and arrows to be taken away and the hunting dogs to be released in preparation for hunting.

…………

At this moment in the forest, Shao Jing and Feng Sheng stared in astonishment at the cavalry of a hundred people galloping towards them from a distance, their eyes widened and they felt a little anxious.

The five thousand soldiers have been lurking in this forest since last night. They are basically impossible to detect at night, but now it is daytime. If this cavalry of a hundred people enters the forest, the five thousand soldiers will definitely not be able to hide and will definitely be discovered.

Seeing Yelu Yanxi's cavalry getting closer and closer, it was obvious that their destination was this forest. Shao Jing and Feng Sheng became more and more anxious.

The main reason was that he didn't know the details of this cavalry of a hundred men. Judging from their attire, they were indeed Liao troops, but he didn't know whether there was a large army behind them, and whether he had exposed his whereabouts and attracted the Liao army's encirclement and suppression.

"Old Shao, what should we do? Continue hiding or take action?" Feng Sheng whispered.

Shao Jing smiled bitterly: "How to hide? As long as this group of people enter the forest, our five thousand troops will definitely be discovered. Now we can either flee or take action."

Feng Sheng stared at the group of people approaching and said, "If there is a large army behind them, we will be in a desperate situation if we take action."

Shao Jing glanced at him and said, "If we don't take action, will we be safe? This group of people are coming straight for us. It's obvious that they already knew we were hiding in this forest. Maybe we are already surrounded by them. We are like dumpling fillings, wrapped tightly."

Feng Sheng frowned and said, "There's something I really don't understand. Even if we're surrounded by the Liao army, why are they sending this cavalry of a hundred men here? Could it be their vanguard? That doesn't make sense. We have five thousand soldiers. What good can a vanguard of a hundred men do?"

"Look at that young man leading the group on the opposite side. He's galloping on his horse and laughing, as if he's in a hurry to get rewarded for his achievements. It's so insulting!"

"That guy's grinning so hard his mouth is crooked. What on earth is he so happy about?"

Shao Jing is quite sensitive. He has served as a general of the Xiang Army for many years and has suffered too much anger, which leads him to exaggerate everything.

After quietly analyzing the situation, and looking at Yelu Yanxi's mentally retarded smile across from him, Shao Jing finally couldn't help but think too much.

"This is too much!" Shao Jing gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It's bad enough that the Imperial Guards look down on our Xiang army, but the Liao dogs look down on us too! Do they think they can easily wipe out 5,000 Xiang troops with just a hundred or so people?"

Feng Sheng was stunned: "They are not that stupid, right?"

"Of course not! Look at that guy in the lead, he's grinning like a fucking idiot. He clearly thinks a hundred of us are enough to deal with us. In his eyes, we're just five thousand pigs, and he just needs to pick us up and be rewarded..." Shao Jing became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care how many Liao dogs are out there, no matter how many soldiers are surrounding us, I'm going to take on these hundred people!"

"Send the message! One thousand men on each wing, quietly encircle them from the north and south sides of the forest, and the rest will intercept them head-on!"

Shao Jing's eyes were red as he stared at Yelu Yanxi who was getting closer and closer. He said viciously, "Even if I can't survive, I'm going to beat the shit out of you before I die!"

"That idiot in the lead must be taken alive! I'll catch him and slap his dog face until it's swollen. Laugh! I'll make you laugh!"

…………

Liao army camp.

The fact that Yelu Yanxi left the camp to hunt was immediately reported to the general's tent.

Upon hearing the news, Yelu Chun's brows immediately furrowed.

When Yelu Chun heard that Yelu Yanxi had led hundreds of personal guards to the west of the camp, he was so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed in the general's tent.

Now the main force of the Song army's Longwei Camp is located to the south of the Liao army's camp, but it is difficult to guarantee that the Song army will not sneak in from other directions.

In war, all means are used without hesitation. Yelu Chun always felt that Zhao Xiaoqian's use of troops was very strange and often unexpected. The tactical deployment of this kind of person was like an antelope hanging on a horn, with no trace to be found. Yelu Chun had never fought with him, but he was very wary of him.

Although the main force of the Song army was in the south at this time and Yelu Chun focused on defending the south, given Zhao Xiaoqian's military tactics, there was a high probability that small groups of Song troops were lurking from all directions of the Liao army camp.

At this time, Yelu Yanxi actually went out of the camp to hunt, and Yelu Chun was so angry that his teeth were broken.

There is no shortage of tricks and strategies!

This is referring to people like Yelu Yanxi. Originally, he was asked to serve as a deputy commander in the army. Yelu Chun took this opportunity to teach him more about marching and deploying troops, so that when Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne in the future, he would not be like a newbie who knew nothing.

Unexpectedly, after joining the army, the uncle and nephew became increasingly at odds and had many quarrels. Yelu Chun's strategies and tactics were criticized by Yelu Yanxi, who only made a fuss about the Liao army's cowardice.

Now, Yelu Yanxi actually took more than a hundred people and went out of the camp to hunt in such a brazen manner.

It's the time of the Song-Liao War right now, and you're taking people out hunting?
What a big heart!
You are just the crown prince of Liao. Do you really think that the whole world is your father and will give in to you?
The more Yelu Chun thought about it, the worse it felt. He immediately shouted, "Come here, send out five thousand soldiers and horses. Immediately leave the camp and pursue His Royal Highness. Once we catch him, no matter what he says, we will bring him back!"

…………

At this time, outside the western forest, Yelu Yanxi was riding on his horse, still smiling happily.

He was happy because he had thought of a way to wash away his dark history in the future.

When they reached the edge of the forest, Yelu Yanxi's smile finally faded.

"Get bows and arrows, spears, and hunting dogs and let them out to find prey. If we're lucky today, we can kill a bear and show the warriors of the Liao Dynasty how brave and unparalleled their Crown Prince is!"

As he spoke, Yelu Yanxi glanced at the dense forest in front of him and suddenly frowned.

It doesn't feel good. The vegetation in the dense forest is too dense. It is broad daylight, but it is pitch black inside. I always feel that there is some terrifying and powerful presence in there. The slightest movement makes people tremble in their hearts.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yelu Yanxi suddenly smiled.

Having been with the wimpy Yelu Chun for so long recently, he has become less courageous and suspicious of everything.

Just as he was about to order his hundred personal guards to dismount and surround the mountain, he suddenly heard the sound of swords being unsheathed all around, and thousands of figures suddenly emerged from the mountains and forests.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of people rushed out from both sides. These people did not say a word, but moved quickly. Before Yelu Yanxi could react, the left and right wings had quickly completed the encirclement and surrounded Yelu Yanxi's hundred men in the middle.

Yelu Yanxi's face turned pale and he lost consciousness in an instant. The guards behind him were also stunned. They immediately raised their swords to protect Yelu Yanxi in the center.

A general slowly emerged from the forest, pointed at the bewildered Yelu Yanxi, and shouted, "You idiot! What are you looking at? It's you!"

"Fuck you, smile at me again!"
