In the military camp where the Great Liao Kingdom was stationed outside Jianghuai City, Yelu Hongguang, the highest commander of the war, looked at Jianghuai City not far away in the main camp, and a small Jianghuai City actually blocked their cavalry here. The infantry troops had already reached the defense line of the Xinsong army in Kangzhou from the low mountains and rivers on both sides, but the cavalry could not take water and mountain roads, and the only way was blocked by Jianghuai City.

Yelu Hongguang was the second prince of the Great Liao Kingdom. The succession system of the Great Liao Kingdom was not the eldest inheritance system of the Xinsong Song Dynasty, but the prince had the strongest ability to inherit the throne. This invasion was when Yelu Hongguang united the ministers who supported him and obtained the permission of his father.

For this invasion, Yelu Hongguang agreed to many requirements of the Great Khan Empire to pass through the Great Khan Empire. Otherwise, with these 50,000 troops, no matter how strong the combat power was, he would not be able to break through one of the three frontiers that defended their Great Liao Kingdom.

At this time, Yelu Hongguang had been trapped here for more than ten days because of this small Jianghuai City and his unbeaten cavalry. This was a big blow to the war ahead. The Kangzhou defense line in Xinsong ahead was too difficult to break through with the infantry and crossbowmen. Once the cavalry broke through here, with the strength of the war horses of the Great Liao Kingdom, it could completely cross the natural barrier and raid behind the two defense lines from behind. As a result, because of a kingly way, Yelu Hongguang and the cavalry were trapped here.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, time can no longer be waiting. The emperor of Xinsong has decided to send troops when the spies in front of him discovered the news. Now ten days have passed before the news. According to the marching speed of the Xinsong army, we will be able to arrive in Kangzhou in three days. At that time, our 20,000 troops will have to retreat, and we also need support from the rear to avoid being surrounded by the enemy. In this way, His Majesty the Emperor will have doubts about His Highness the Second Prince's ability."

This strategist is Yelu Hongguang's most valued strategist, and his words also reached Yelu Hongguang's heart. Once the father questioned his abilities, then his battle would be meaningless. Yelu Hongguang looked at his strategist and asked him to tell him what was the solution to the current dilemma.

"Only by killing that king can we cross this Jianghuai City. I hope your highness will make up your mind sooner."

As soon as the strategist finished his thoughts, Yelu Hongguang directly denied this idea. It was not that he did not want to kill the king, but that the consequences of killing the king were too heavy. Once the king was killed, it aroused the bloodiness of the people of the New Song Dynasty. Then the war was about to begin. Although the army of the Great Liao Kingdom was not afraid of the army of the New Song Dynasty at all, there was a Khan Empire next to him. Once the war started, if the Khan Empire supported the New Song Dynasty, the Great Liao Kingdom would be attacked from both sides, and then Yelu Hongguang would be the sinner of the Great Liao Kingdom.

After thinking for a while, Yelu Hongguang called over the ten remaining imperial guards in his hand. Originally, Yelu Hongguang brought thirty imperial guards and sent out sixteen. One died in the previous battle, and three were missing after he had deployed explosives in Jianghuai City.

So only ten imperial guards were left, and three imperial guards died in Jianghuai City. Yelu Hongguang suspected that there were martial arts masters in the city, and this time the prisoner's way of capturing the king must be successful, so Yelu Hongguang was ready to let these ten imperial guards directly capture the king's way.
