Dong Zunhui quickly left Du Chongwei's mansion and went to the inn to discuss with everyone. According to the information provided by Du Chongwei, Yelu Dilu and his party will camp in Mingzhou tonight, indicating that they will go to Jizhou by Zhangshui and then head north to return to Liao territory.

Let’s analyze together: Jizhou is an extremely important military town in the Later Han Dynasty. If Dong Zunhui and others make trouble there, they may be killed by the Jizhou defenders regardless of scammers! And the emperor will arrange the entry to the city tomorrow. Dong Zunhui must attend the entry to the city as the deputy envoy. If you calculate the time, Dong Zunhui and his party can only attack Mingzhou and then turn around quickly so that they will not delay the entry to the city. [bsp;   Dong Zunhui made a final decision: "It’s Mingzhou. Although the Liao soldiers were confiscated, they still have short blades to protect themselves, and there are many people. Once they enter the city, we will be blocked by the defenders. We must intercept the Liao soldiers before they enter the city! And we only have ten people, and we can only leave with one blow! I have borrowed the waist card from Du Chongwei to leave the city. Without further ado, let’s take action immediately!"

No one persuaded or stopped him. From Suizhou to Yedu, everyone formed a deep friendship on the road. For the sake of revenge of his friends, even if he was dismissed from office and asked for punishment later, what a pity would it be? What's more, what's the chance to enter the guards' personal army? The sacrifice he made was the greatest among all. With such a lord, what else would he worry about? It's just sharing hardships, life and death!

Ten people immediately packed their luggage and left all the things they didn't use. Each of them only carried weapons and armor, wheat cakes that were easy to carry, and each carried two war horses and quietly left the inn. As soon as they left the city, everyone rushed to Mingzhou.

Looking at the figures of everyone leaving, Du Chongwei, who was quietly standing in the hidden place of the city tower, sighed. Anyway, the servants were twenty meters away and could not hear the conversation between the couple. Du Chongwei whispered to Shi, who was supporting him, "Daoan is really a person who values ​​love and friendship. It's a pity that I have had a long time with him. However, with this friendship to guide the way, I will finally have someone to collect my corpse in the future!"

Shi asked in surprise: "Why did the master say that? Didn't your Majesty agree to pardon you?"

Du Chongwei smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly: "The Han army occupied the Xicheng and is gradually seizing the strategic location in the city. Our army lost its geographical advantage and could no longer compete with it. Just now, the Han envoy Chen Guan sent someone to send a message saying that Liu Zhiyuan was going to summon the generals above the commander-in-chief of our army! It's pity that they followed me for half a lifetime, but now they have no place to die! We are lucky, we can be a rich man; we are not lucky, when we return to Kaifeng, we will be the time to give our heads!"

Shi suddenly covered his mouth, "Master, why are we surrendering? Let's run away while the North Gate is still under our control!"

"Do you think it's so easy to escape? Since the Han army occupied the West Gate, our front and back doors have long been targeted by the Han envoys. Just like this time, if you, my husband and I came to the north gate alone and the children were still in the house, would you think it would be so easy?!" Du Chongwei said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, I have a son, Du Hongqi, in Liao Kingdom, so I will not be isolated from my bloodline. Someone will also offer you and my tablets in the future!"

Shi sighed, regretting that he shouldn't have been back! If he had known, he should have loved Du Hongqi, who was born to the concubine, and would have to rely on him to burn paper money in the future. Shi asked in confusion: "Master, since Hongqi is a hostage in the Liao Kingdom, why did you still inform Dong Zunhui? If he kills Yelu Dilu, wouldn't you offend the Liao Dynasty?!"

"You are always so uneasy. You ask me to tell me that if you were hanging out in the officialdom, you would have been eaten by someone to have no bone left!" Du Chongwei leaned in front of Shi, combed her hair that was blown by the wind, and whispered: "I just told Dong Zunhui quietly that no outsiders were present. And what I said was: 'The weapons of the Liao army were confiscated, and they had all left the city in the afternoon. According to the distance, they will camp in Mingzhou tonight!' But Yelu Dilu and his personal soldiers were my first group of prisoners released. I specially gave them horses to carry, and they should have gone long ago! Even if Dong Zunhui and his gang were three horses, they would definitely not catch up with them! In this way, they can be considered a good relationship with Yelu Dilu. I hope that he will help us take care of Hongqi after learning about Mingzhou in the future..."

Not to mention that Shi and Du Chongwei sighed, they just said that Dong Zunhui and others rushed to the ground, and finally crossed the Liao army when it was getting dark and arrived at a plain twenty miles outside Mingzhou City. The terrain here is flat and suitable for cavalry assault. Before setting off, Dong Zunhui was chosen as a pre-determined battlefield.

Ten people turned over and dismounted, quickly let go of the horse's belly, and let the horse have a good rest. They didn't bother to eat by themselves, so they took out the wheat cake, broke it up, and fed it to the horse. When the horse was full, Dong Zunhui and the others got together and swallowed it with the wheat cake. After eating, the clever Zhou Yunpeng left the wardrobe. Everyone was sleeping quickly with their saddles.

The Liao soldiers did not have war horses to carry on their way. By the time they reached this plain, it was almost midnight. The soldiers were tired and hungry, and their strength was exhausted. Moreover, they did not have any long weapons. They saw many villages that had built villages along the way. The Liao soldiers did not dare to burn, kill, loot as usual, and could only swallow and leave quietly.

Zhou Yunpeng heard the movement and quickly aroused everyone. Everyone put on armor and tied the saddles together. Fortunately, the horses were all chewing, so they would not make too much noise. Everyone lay in the grass and quietly looked at it.

At this time, Yelu Hun, who was leading the army, saw that the soldiers were exhausted, and he mobilized loudly: "Babys, now we finally come to the outside of Mingzhou City. As long as we march twenty miles more, we can reach Mingzhou. At that time, take out the form issued by Du Chongwei and Liu's instructions, and the Mingzhou garrison will provide food and bedding, and we can also have a good rest. Follow my order, light a torch, and accelerate our progress!"

He exhorted loudly in Khitan, but the soldiers were indifferent. Everyone dragged their extremely tired bodies and moved forward step by step.

Yelu Hun's words only had one effect, that was, Dong Zunhui, who was ambushing, and others determined the target of the attack. The night was hazy and I couldn't see clearly. Anyway, the person who spoke should be Yelu Dilu, the highest commander of the Liao army!

Dong Zunhui whispered, "Brothers, follow me!" After that, he mentioned the war horse and rushed towards Yeluhun. On the left of Dong Zunhui was Ma Dehai and on the right was Liu Qingyi. The three of them were each carrying swords and guns and galloping!

When Yelu Hun discovered the abnormality, Dong Zunhui had already rushed to him and cut off his head with the sound of high-speed rushing wind! Before the Liao army could react, Dong Zunhui and others had already rode their horses away!

The Liao army lost its commander and immediately became in chaos. They immediately scattered and fled their lives! Only more than a hundred lucky Liao soldiers returned to the Liao Kingdom, and the rest were starved to death on the way back!

Soon Dong Zunhui and the others discovered that the enemy general he had killed was not Yelu Dilu, but they also lost the opportunity to raid and could only return to the city in disgrace. After returning to the city, the Han army discovered the abnormality and reported it to Liu Zhiyuan. Dong Zunhui confessed to be lenient. Although Liu Zhiyuan admired him very much, he was even more worried about the possible interference of the Liao army, so he revoked the previous reward order and ordered him to reflect on his Zhou camp in Gaoxing. However, Dong Zunhui was finally able to sleep in this time...
