The commander's tent of the Liao Dynasty army at Maoshan Pass.
The Liao Dynasty Crown Prince Yelu Hua looked at the three generals standing before him, a sneer on his face:
"Why? Are you so afraid of Daxia's army?"
After saying this, his expression suddenly turned ferocious, and his voice suddenly increased: "Do they have three heads and six arms? Are they immortal? I have been at this front for a full five days! I have personally delivered the food and weapons you requested!"
"What else do you want? Are my words really that ineffective?"
The three generals lowered their heads. After Yelu Hua finished venting his anger, the left general Dong Wei whispered, "Your Highness... Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not issued an order."
"Oh... So you are waiting for the order from our father?" Yelu Hua looked at Dong Wei deeply and suddenly laughed.
"Your Highness, that's right."
"Okay!" He took two steps with his hands behind his back, and after ten breaths he suddenly said, "Yelü Han, I now appoint you as the General of the Left Army. Dong Wei, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for His Majesty's order. Hand over your military power, and I will spare your life!"
Dong Wei was shocked and raised his head. More than ten cold-blooded guards with swords walked into the tent. They stood on both sides of him, holding the hilts of their swords.
"Your Highness, I also need Your Majesty's order to surrender my military power!"
Yelu Hua frowned slightly. He looked at the stubborn Dong Wei carefully, then grinned again. He raised his eyebrows and said two words lightly: "Chop him off!"
“Clang…Crack!”
Dongwei's head fell to the ground.
Yelu Hua looked at the other two generals and asked, "Does my words still count?"
The two generals in the center and right were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They clasped their fists and saluted: "Your Highness, I obey your command!"
"That's right, this is my order!"
The three generals stood in awe, "Your Highness, I will obey your orders!"
"Yelü Han, you lead my personal guards to take over the army on the left wing. Anyone who disobeys...will be executed!"
"I will give you one night to take command of the army on the left. Tomorrow morning, all three armies will march out of Maoshan Pass..."
"Fight to the death with the Daxia army!"
The three generals clasped their fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, obey your command!"
"Go down and drag the body out to feed the dogs!"
The general's tent fell silent. Yelu Hua sat alone at the table, smiling sinisterly. "Isn't the Daxia army said to be invincible? I really want to see it for myself."
"Father, you are almost seventy years old. You are old. How can the Liao Dynasty be destroyed in your hands? You actually want to sell out the country. If you sell out the country, won't all the years I have served as crown prince be in vain?"
"The Dading Palace will surely be bustling tonight, Father... I have a surprise for you, don't be scared to death!"

…
Night fell over the land of Liao Dynasty.
He Sandao led 20,000 Marines all the way here. They bypassed the towns along the way and walked in the vast and lonely wilderness.
Now they arrived at a hill outside Dading Prefecture.
He Sandao looked at the conspicuous city in the night and laughed, "Tell the brothers to rest and eat here. After so many days of hard work, tonight we will sleep in the Liao Dynasty palace..."
"Let me be frank. You can sleep with me, but you are not allowed to touch a hair on any woman's head. Otherwise, I won't have the time to send you to the Ministry of National Defense for trial. I will definitely chop off your head!"
"This is the discipline of the Daxia army. Remember it!"
"Okay, let's eat!"
Tang Qianjun led the team to sit in the night and began to eat dry food and canned food - the canned food was really delicious, and it was made of pork. It would taste even better if they could make a fire to roast it.
This place is only 800 meters away from Dading Prefecture, so it is of course wishful thinking to start a fire.
He Sandao flew to a tree with a telescope and took a look... Oh, what's going on in Dading Prefecture?
It seems like a fight broke out inside.
Is this civil unrest?
Your Majesty or the Ministry of National Defense did not say that there were people inside creating riots to assist us.
…
A bloody battle is taking place in Dading Prefecture.
When the old emperor Yelu Qing learned that the Thunder Legion was heading towards Dading Prefecture, he immediately realized that the situation was not good.
So the old emperor quickly mobilized 100,000 city defense troops into Dading Prefecture, and ordered 50,000 imperial guards to guard the inner city wall where the imperial palace was located.
He thought that the enemy would be the evil son Su Changsheng, but he did not expect that the danger would come from the 100,000 city defense troops - this was the army commanded by his second son Yelu Shu!
Yelu Shu led 100,000 city defense troops into the city. Instead of defending the city, he launched an attack on the imperial palace!
The leader of the 50,000 imperial guards was his fifth son, Yelu Shuai.
At this moment, fifty thousand guards were firmly guarding the walls of the imperial palace, and Yelu Shuai and Yelu Qing were sitting in the imperial study.
Yelu Qing seemed to have aged a lot.
"It seems that Yelu Dan has met with misfortune."
"I didn't expect your second brother to rebel against me at this time."
He gave a bitter laugh, "Perhaps he has been waiting for this day for a long time. This time, I hurriedly summoned him into the city, which just happened to be what he wanted."
He looked at Yelu Shuai, "You are also my son. Can I... trust you?"
Yelu Shuai bowed and said, "Father, you are old. My elder brother has been fighting for the throne until he was almost forty. Why do you hold on to this imperial power and refuse to let go?"
Yelu Qing frowned, a bad thought rising in his mind, "So, you are also eyeing the imperial power?"
"Father, I have never thought of this before, but now it has suddenly occurred to me... Think about it, you only have me to defend this palace now. You know my second brother's character. If I let him in, Father, I am worried that you will die without a burial place!"
Yelu Shuai took a step forward, straightened his back, and stared at Yelu Qing's old face. "How about asking your father to write a decree of succession to your son? I will ensure that your father enjoys his old age in peace?"
Yelu Qing also looked at his son for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
He shook his head and sighed, and the sigh was filled with sadness.
"You, you guys, you don't even know who the enemy is!"
"Do you think controlling the inner city will help? Or do you think joining forces with your second brother will help?"
"Even if your eldest brother returns with 300,000 border troops, it will be meaningless."
"Su Changsheng... if you really want to be honest, he's your big brother. Your little tricks are nothing compared to him. The Thunder Legion has the Liao Dynasty's most elite warriors. After years of training by Su Changsheng, they are equipped with flintlock rifles. He is leading his 450,000-man army on the way to Dading Prefecture!"
"He is the one who will control the Liao Dynasty!"
"You are still living in a dream!"
"If we don't work together to stop Su Changsheng now, I tell you, everyone in the royal family... will be killed by him!"
Marshal Yelu was stunned. Wasn’t the Thunder Legion preparing for a battle with Daxia?
Instead of heading south, he came to Dading Prefecture... This is bad!
"What now?"
