Chapter 189
Looking up at the sun in the sky, Yelu Fonu said, "It was already noon, and ten miles ahead is the station of Song Renxiu. I heard that there were thousands of people and countless supplies there. We went there to use some wine and meat!"
Wei Cai said: "I have been traveling for more than twenty miles. I think the Song army in Xiongzhou has already received the news, so I still have to be careful."
Yelu Fonu smiled and said, "I have sent someone to monitor Xiongzhou. Once the troops are sent there, I will get news here. Whether to fight or leave, I am afraid of what the Song army will do. This time I snatched the station and let the Song people know that we are powerful."
After saying that, he ordered the generals around him to urge the army to speed up the marching speed.
After walking a few miles, suddenly a personal soldier came back in front of him and rushed to Yelu Fonu, crossed his hands and said, "General, all the Song people at the station have escaped, and no one can be seen!"
Yelu Fonu couldn't help but be surprised: "We are not slow. Even if the Song people get the news, they don't have time to escape. Could it be that our affairs are not intimate, and once we cross the river, the Song people saw it? By the way, the people at the station escaped, and the money and goods inside were not escaped."
The personal soldier said, "I went in and saw it, but the people fled in a hurry, and all the money and goods were there."
Yelu Fonu said to Wei Cai: "It turns out that way. I think the Song people saw us and informed the station. Okay, it doesn't matter if they escape. As long as the money and goods are still there, our trip will not be in vain. Nearly 10,000 troops will always need some valuable things to go back and explain."
Wei Cai said: "General, if the Song army escaped early, we would probably send troops. After all, we are in the Song territory. If a large number of Song troops siege, things will be bad! This time, I have only checked before, but I don't know if the Song army has increased its troops."
Yelu Fonu laughed when he heard this: "Why are you afraid of your head? There are only 10,000 Song troops in Xiongzhou, and the other soldiers and horses are dozens of miles away. We will return tomorrow. What's the use of their coming? Our cavalry has dozens of miles a day, so how can the Song troops catch up with us!"
Wei Cai was not good enough, but he always felt a sense of fear. The places I had traveled before were all two losers. Before leaving, Yang Ji specifically told him not to rob them. This year, due to the earthquake, the taxes from the Khitan Xijin Prefecture were exempted, and he still hoped that these people would be counted on. Only when they arrived at the shore of the Nanyi River were there, the people of the Song Dynasty were dozens of miles away from the border. Most of the day was enough to happen.
Yelu Fonu was not worried. He sent someone to monitor Xiongzhou City. Whenever there was danger, he turned around and left with the army, but the Song people could not catch up. With the speed of the Khitan cavalry, the Song Dynasty did not make arrangements early and there was nothing he could do.
In less than half an hour, Yelu Fonu led the Khitan army to the outside of the station. Looking at the neat houses, empty streets, and railway tracks that had been laid here, Yelu Fonu said: "I have heard that the railways in the Song Dynasty were magical artifacts, but I didn't expect that this road was really made of iron! It took thousands of miles from Kaifeng Prefecture to get here, and all of them were made of iron, how much did it take!"
People in this era are not like later generations. When they see how much iron this country produces, they think of how strong military strength is. In their eyes, it is a novel thing and amazed. What does it mean, which one cares about it.
He whispered to the generals around him: "Each division sent people to the town to see if there is wine and meat, and have a meal first. When we are full, we go south to Nanyishui and catch the escaped people back! At that time, we burn the station and we will have a good time!"
The generals agreed and ran back happily. Although Yelu Fonu didn't say anything, he went in to grab the wine and meat, and of course he also grabbed other things. This was a chance to make a fortune. On the way, many people could not hold back.
Yelu Fonu settled the people who were awakened by Xingjie, and together with Wei Cai, they brought their personal soldiers into the station. They saw the largest house and rushed over. The largest house at the station was of course the ticket hall, waiting room and other places. The Khitans did not know what these places were for. They only looked at them all, and many families rushed over, thinking that there must be more treasures inside.
After entering the ticket hall, Yelu Fonu looked around and saw that it was empty. He couldn't help but scolded: "What the hell is it, so empty! Could it be that some rich man has only built a house and has not yet installed furniture?"
After saying that, he said to the personal soldiers around him: "Look around and see where there is treasure and grab some. It's empty. Find some wine and meat. Let's drink first. When you have enough food and drink, you will burn it with fire."
The personal soldiers responded to the promise and roared out, and chose the wealthy family to rob. Yelu Fonu ordered people to slaughter one of the sheep they found, so they found some wood, and then lit the fire in the ticket hall. The sheep were cleaned up and ordered people to put it on the fire to prepare for drinking.
Before the lamb was cooked, the alert soldiers rushed in and said, "General, the big thing is not good, there is a large number of Song troops appearing in the south!"
Yelu Fonu was stunned for a moment and said, "The nearby troops are all in Xiongzhou City. I sent someone to stare at me, but I didn't see them leaving the city. Apart from that, where did the large Song army come from? Are you confused?"
The personal soldier said: "How could the young people who have been with the general for many years and have been through the battle formations wrong? There are a large number of Song troops who have arrived in Nanyishui and lined up by the river. Judging from their appearance, there are at least a few thousand people."
Yelu Fonu was surprised and said, "Those people were just guarding Nanyishui? Didn't attack?"
The personal soldier said: "I just guarded by the river and did not come from north."
Yelu Fonu said, "For the cause, where did the troops come from? Quickly instruct the troops to gather the troops and see how the Song people are. If they do not attack, we just rob the place and leave. The prefect told the emperor that it is best not to fight against the Song people when we come south this time."
The personal soldiers responded to the promise and hurried out to inform the generals of various departments. At this time, the Khitans were searching for one house at a station. They did not find money, silk, treasures, but there were a lot of food and supplies, and it seemed that they were leaving in a hurry.
Just as the Khitans gathered in a mess, someone came to report that the city gate in Xiongzhou City to the east suddenly opened. About 10,000 soldiers came out of the city and headed towards the station. It was obvious that they had received news about the Khitan soldiers and horses that the Song army was leaving the city to fight.
When Yelu Fonu heard this, he suddenly woke up and said, "No, there is a Song army in the south and a Song army in the east. Wouldn't we be surrounded? Go north quickly and see if there is a Song army behind us. If there is a Song army there, it would be obvious that we are prepared!"
The personal soldiers on one side agreed to the promise and went in a hurry. This time, it is expected that they will only stay in the Song territory for one day. They are too careless and no personnel are arranged behind them. If the Song army defends the Juma River, the Khitan army will be surrounded on three sides. No matter how powerful the Khitan cavalry is, they will be surrounded on three sides, and the situation will be very critical.
After that, meteors and horses continued to report, and the situation of the Song army in the south gradually became more and more serious. There were about ten thousand people guarding the Nanyi River, and I don’t know where they came from. There were also about ten thousand people coming from Xiongzhou City, with all the infantry and cavalry, and they could be seen carrying artillery.
