Han Fang was proficient in government affairs, Wang Xuan was proficient in military affairs, and he was both military and political, so when Yang Kaiyuan arrived, Datong was already determined both inside and outside. As soon as Yang Kaiyuan arrived, Zhi Yanchong immediately convened a military meeting and prepared to continue westward.

Yang Kai saw that there were two less people at the table, one was Qu Duan and the other was Lu Yanlun. It turned out that after Zhe Yanchong entered Mobei, Lu Yanlun was mainly responsible for the logistics of the army, and at this time, Lu Yanlun was transferred to be in charge of Xiao Tienu's logistics all the way, so he was not in front of him, but Qu Duan chased after Zong Han and did not return.

According to Zhi Yanchong's meaning, Yang Kaiyuan was left to take charge of the aftermath of the clean-up in Yunzhong, and he himself led a large army to support Xiao Tienu, and took advantage of the great victory to pacify Western Xia in one fell swoop.

Yang Kaiyuan said: "Although our army has changed thousands of miles to fight, its morale is booming, and it can continue to fight." Now the north and south of Yinshan are all owned by me, and in the clouds, the road from Tanggu to the border of Xixia is in the territory, and it can be said that the entire grain road has also been opened. It's just that the road from here to Western Xia is very difficult. Moreover, if the road is newly opened, if you want to supply the army for a long time, I think there is no problem with less than 200,000 people, but if it is more than 200,000 people, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. At present, the army gathered in the clouds is half a step and half a horse, and it is more dependent on logistics. Thousands of miles to transport grain and grass, it takes a little time to prepare. ”

Zheyan said: "Can you directly transfer grain from Shaanxi?" "He has been out of Mobei for a long time, and the situation in Han is not as familiar as Yang Kaiyuan, who is a privy envoy.

Yang Kaiyuan thought for a while and said, "The local grain stocks in northern Shaanxi are not enough to supply the army. If you start from Chang'an, you have to pass through the plateau of northern Shaanxi to reach the current base camp of Xiao Ziqi. As far as the road is concerned, it is not necessarily smoother than transporting grain from the clouds. Besides, there are still many Western Xia fortresses, soldiers and horses in northern Shaanxi, and most of Liu Qi has not yet been cleared. ”

Yang Kai was silent when he saw Zhi Yanchong, and said: "The sixth man's men and horses were enough to suppress Western Xia, and with Liu Qi attacking from the south, there is great hope for breaking Western Xia." Big brother, I look at the soldiers and horses in the clouds, so it's better not to move. Only Quduan Wang Xuan was sent to continue westward. In this way, Liu Qi's soldiers and horses will be supplied by the grain route of Chang'an, and as long as the army on the North Road is controlled below 200,000, it can also ensure that money and food are worry-free. ”

Zhi Yanchong rubbed his right fist with his left palm, and wanted to do it himself several times, but finally endured it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait here for the good news from Tie Nu and Liu Qi." ”

While discussing, General Qu Duan sent a messenger to report, the messenger was full of dust, and after seeing Zhi Yanchong, he kept pleading and pleading, and Zhi Yanchong shouted with a calm face: "What's the matter? ”

Yang Kaiyuan was also very worried, afraid that something would happen to Qu Duan's army, but fortunately, the messenger just said: "General Qu pursued Zong Han, and the journey was very smooth. Zong Han's department, while counterattacking and escaping, to the edge of the Cangtou River, we have caught up with Zong Han's main force, General Qu bravely killed into the enemy's army, seeing that Zong Han was about to be captured alive, who knew that a new force came out of the northwest, and saved Zong Han by force. Our army pursued for hundreds of miles, and when we reached the area of the Cangtou River, there were only 5,000 people, which was far less than that of Zong Han's department, and it was only by relying on His Majesty's Tianwei that we could win more with less. However, as soon as this group of people came, and Zong Hanli should be attacked by the outside world, it was difficult for us to resist, and General Qu had no choice but to temporarily retreat in order to fight again. In this battle, our army suffered little loss, but only lost its prestige, so General Qu specially ordered the last general to come to ask for guilt. ”

Yang Kaiyuan was not defeated when he heard that Qu Duan was not defeated, and asked the messenger: "What kind of troops saved Zong Han?" Was it the Western Xia troops? ”

"No, it's Jin Jun!" The messenger said, "The banner is the word Yelu!" ”

Yang Kaiyuan was surprised: "Could it be Yelu Yujian?" ”

The messenger said, "General Qu is also guessing! ”

Yang Kaiyuan turned his head and asked Zhi Yanchong: "Big brother, is Yelu Yu still there?" I thought he had been routed by you in the north. ”

Orihiko snorted and said, "No, he escaped, and then he didn't know what to do." ”

Yang Kaiyuan saw such a look, so he expected that there was another secret in it, but since he said this, Yang Kaiyuan kept silent.

Wang Xuan ordered: "Your Majesty, please let me go to support Qu Duan." ”

Zhi Yanchong nodded and said, "Okay, when you see Qu Duan, let him chase slowly, don't worry." I don't blame him for this battle by the Cangtou River. ”

Wang Xuan said: "I can save it. So he took the horses and came to the end of the war.

This time, Qu Duan originally wanted to achieve great achievements and capture Zong Han alive, which was more valuable than a cloud city, but he didn't want to be killed out of thin air by Yelu Yu to see the big thing. He hated it, temporarily retreated, and after packing up his troops and horses, he pursued again, and chased him to the edge of the Yellow River day and night, but saw that the Jin army had already crossed the river. Seeing the big banner embroidered with the word "Yelu" on the postponement, Qu Duan could only sigh with hope. Soon Wang Xuan chased after him and passed on Zhi Yanchong's orders and edicts, and Qu Duan heard that Zhi Yanchong was not to blame, so he was a little relieved. But he was quite suspicious of Yelu Yujian's whereabouts, and asked Wang Xuan: "General Wang, this time you came from the northwest, you must have passed this Yelu Yujian, why did you let him go so easily." ”

Wang Xuan said: "He didn't meet me, he met His Majesty's headquarters." ”

When Qu Duan heard this, he was even more surprised: "He met His Majesty's headquarters?" That...... That should be harder to get out. ”

Wang Xuan said: "Your Majesty has not told me about the twists and turns here. It seems that Yelu Yujian was trying to attack His Majesty's camp at night, but His Majesty saw through it, and both sides were injured, and then Yelu Yujian disappeared. General Qu, regarding this matter, I see that His Majesty will send an official secret order soon, and you and I don't have to speculate. ”

Qu Duan sighed and said, "Naturally, naturally." ”

Wang Xuan in turn asked about the battle by the Cangtou River that day. Qu Duan paused again and again when he talked about this, and exclaimed: "What a pity, hateful! I've already seen Zong Han, but I'm just a few steps away! ”

On that day, Qu Duan took advantage of the victory to chase the death to the north, and really killed the remnants of the Jin army. Although there were still many generals in Zong Han, most of them did not dare to turn back to meet the enemy and only fled. Seeing that it was extremely critical, Yelu Yu suddenly appeared, not only stopped Qu Duan, but also counterattacked and forced Qu Duan back. Qu Duan's return to Zhi Yanchong that his loss was not big was actually a bit ominous, and if Yelu Yu saw that if he caught up with him for ten miles and eight miles, Qu Duan would probably not be spared.

The appearance of Yelu Yu not only did Qu Duan not expect, but even Zong Han was also very surprised. Yelu Yu was in charge of the northern defense line, and Zhiyan rushed Xiao Tienu south, and he was the first to bear the brunt. Wang Xuan and Zhe Yanchong's army approached Datong from the northwest and from the southwest, and Yelu Yu saw that he did not return except for the alarm, and Zong Han and Wanyan Xiyin thought that he was finished, who knew that he would meet here.

The war horses by the Cangtou River were panicked, and Yelu Yu was not polite on the horse, but just urged Zong Han to leave this dangerous place first. At the moment, Han Funu led the way, Zong Han packed up the remnants of the army in the center, and after Yelu Yu saw the break, he retreated to the edge of the Yellow River, and then set up camp and prepared to cross the river.

After the Jin army entered the camp to rest, Zong Han asked about the details of Yelu Yujian's previous disappearance and today's appearance. Yelu Yu knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The minister is guilty!" Please punish Your Majesty! ”

Zong Han was suspicious and dissatisfied with Yelu Yujian, but he was rescued by him today, and he was much less dissatisfied, and the troops brought by Yelu Yujian were now the most effective team in the remnants of the Jin Army, and they also needed to rely on him from the situation, so Yelu Yujian knelt down, Zong Han quickly helped him up, and Gao Qingyi said on the side: "Even if the marshal has any mistakes, with today's great achievement, it is enough to offset it." ”

Yelu Yu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the title of "marshal" and asked, "Marshal?" ”

Wanyan Xiyin smiled beside him: "Your Majesty has been promoted to the rank of marshal, and the marshal doesn't know yet, right?" ”

Zong Han also smiled slightly, and ordered someone to take out the prepared handsome seal, Yelu Yu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is so gracious, how can the ministers be able to repay Long's grace!" ”

Zong Han helped him up again and asked, "What happened to Marshal Yelu in the north this time?" Why is there no news all of a sudden? ”

Yelu Yu sighed and said: "On that day, I saw that Zhiyan was impulsive, and I thought that with only 30,000 horses, I couldn't resist his army of more than 100,000 in any way. And at that time, Xiao Tienu was still near Yinshan, if Zhiyanchong's march did not go well, Xiao Tienu would most likely turn around and join Zhiyanchong, and then we would be even more dangerous! Therefore, after inquiring about the military situation of Zhe and Xiao, I will immediately inform Datong, so that His Majesty and Brother Xiyin can prepare as soon as possible. I abandoned the camp, fled into the valley, and let Wang Xuan pass, but I took the camp of Zheyanchong! ”

Wanyan Xiyin and Gao Qingyi both sighed, and Gao Qingyi said: "All are ...... Didn't the marshal want to attack Zhiyanchong's base camp directly, capture the thief and capture the king first? ”

Yelu Yu nodded and said, "Not bad." At that time, I had to use this strategy to turn the tide of the battle. Alas, alas, alas. ”

Since Zhi Yanchong had successfully entered Fengsheng Prefecture, Zong Han and the others knew that Yelu Yu had failed to see this risky plan, but Gao Qingyi still praised: "The marshal is a risky strategy!" What a lot of courage! With the situation at that time, the marshal was able to do this clever plan, and no matter whether he won or lost, he was worthy of being a famous general in the world. ”

Yelu Yu shook his head again and again and said, "What a famous general, what a clever strategy!" In the end, it still failed! However, at that time, in order to succeed, I was inevitably secretive, so I didn't even mention the official letter to Datong and Fengshengzhou. I calculated exactly where Orihiko was stationed, laid an ambush in a valley near the left, and when he set up camp, I launched an attack that night. Speaking of this, he paused again and again: "It's hateful that Zheyan Chong is cunning and cunning, and he actually placed two identical camps nearby, and both camps have the banner of the Yellow Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." I can only rely on blind guessing, unfortunately I didn't guess correctly, although I broke a battalion, but I didn't rob Zhiyan Chong. Then he told the details of the robbery camp that day.

Wanyan Xiyin and Gao Qingyi both felt pity, and Wanyan Xiyin said: "If you can get Zhiyan Chong again, then ...... Not only can it be protected in the clouds, but it is also a great thing to do in the world! ”

Wanyan Xiyin continued: "I missed a blow and retreated overnight, but fortunately, the stars and moon were not shining that night, and I was able to keep the main force retreating in the night. I didn't dare to take the right path, but retreated in a roundabout way according to the path I had prepared in advance, but when I reached the vicinity of Datong, I realized that I had lost it at all. I had to lead the military horses and want to throw myself into Western Xia, but I didn't want to meet Your Majesty on the way, isn't this the will of heaven? ”

Gao Qingyi said: "Listening to what the marshal said, although the robbery of the camp failed, the loss of Zhe Yanchong that night was not small, why has there been no news for so long?" ”

Yelu Yu said, "I don't know about this. ”

Wanyan Xiyin laughed and said, "What's so hard to understand about this!" ”

Gao Qingyi hurriedly asked for advice, and Wanyan Xiyin said: "Gao is wise and resourceful, but unfortunately I am not familiar with Zhi Yanchong, and I don't know his temperament!" Although he is a person who often shows people to be open-minded, he actually has a very good face inside! Seeing that all the generals have made great contributions, but he himself has suffered a big loss, if it weren't for Marshal Yelu robbing the wrong village, maybe he would have to become a prisoner again! How could he tell people such a humiliating thing? Not only can it not be known, but most of the people will destroy the corpse afterwards and cover it up in many ways, in order to achieve his undefeated reputation as a martial artist! ”

Gao Qingyi nodded secretly when he heard this, and Yelu Yu also suddenly realized: "I see! I see! ”
