Chapter Ninety-Three: Deliberation
By the end of September, the cool autumn breeze was already setting, and the residual light shone on the dilapidated city walls, which did complement each other well
Baozhou, outside the ruined Lixian city!
Guo Wei insisted on welcoming Liu Feng and others who came from Cizhou outside the city gate, Guo Yunmin, Wei Renpu, Chai Rong and others looked a little unnatural, how could they come to greet Xiao'er outside the city, even if he was the envoy of Yizhou.
When there was silence, the earth shook suddenly, looking at the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, dozens of horsemen galloped and galloped, the autumn wind of hunting shook the big wind behind them, the wind surged, the sharp javelin in front of the saddle shook the human eye, wearing a strange iron-clad military uniform, wearing a senran armor and iron helmet, all showing the difference of the Cizhou army.
Guo Wei said happily: "What a mighty cavalry team!" ”
Although Chai Rong looked appreciative, he said: "Hearing this, Liu Feng is just a fourteen-year-old child, how can he train so well, I think he has a famous general in his hands to help!" ”
When several people heard this, they were silent, but they also thought so in their hearts.
While speaking, this group of cavalry arrived outside the city gate, a hundred paces, the leading knights, raised their right hands, a long whistle, the knights fiercely reined in the reins, the war horses suddenly stood up, looked up to the sky and neighed, dozens of horses fierce momentum, abruptly stopped.
The person at the head jumped down the horse, pushed away the mask but it was a fresh face, the dark and deep eyes were filled with a charming smile, and the slightly thin figure, but there was a momentum of the instrument, and he walked over to Guo Wei and the others quickly, and said loudly: "Cizhou Liu Fengte came to meet General Guo of Hedong!" Then he bowed down!
Guo Wei also hurried up to greet him, although he was surprised by Liu Feng's youth, he still said sincerely: "A certain is Guo Wei of the Hedong Army, and Liu Junenvoy is really a young hero!" ”
After speaking, the two held their arms, looked at each other and smiled, as if they had been friends for a long time.
"General Guo raises love, the kid is in front of the general, and he doesn't dare to call the military envoy, if the general doesn't dislike it, it's good to treat Feng as a nephew!" Liu Feng couldn't put up any score in front of Guo Wei, and this time, although it was a union, it was more that he asked for help from the Hedong Army.
"Good! Good! Guo Wei said happily: "These people are the great talents under a certain command, you should be closer in the future!" Guo Wei pulled Liu Feng a little kindly, and introduced Chai Rong, Wei Renpu, Guo Yunmin and others to Liu Feng, Liu Feng respectfully greeted them one by one, without the slightest hint of moderation, and happily regarded himself as Guo Wei's son and nephew.
When Chai Rong was introduced, he saw a good man, with a dignified body and a dignified appearance, oblique and heroic sword eyebrows, containing quiet and deep eyes, Liu Feng warned himself in his heart that this person was either a friend or an enemy, and he must be treated carefully. And Chai Rong is in a high position at a young age, but he does not have a trace of domineering, although this salute is subordinate to others and has a request, but Liu Feng's respect for people is still impossible to find fault with people.
After greeting outside the city gate, he finally entered the city, but at this moment, the people of the Hedong Army have also changed their opinion of Liu Feng, and the resentment of welcoming each other outside the city gate has long since dissipated, and it is a harmonious atmosphere.
After the guests and hosts sat down, they also talked happily with each other, and after three rounds of drinking, they no longer exchanged pleasantries, and shifted the topic to the war against the Khitan.
"This time, the Cizhou army is showing its talents, and it is also famous in the north, and it has connected eight cities in ten days, and the two generals Zeng Deng under the command of the military envoy can be described as brave and good at fighting!" Chai Rong said loudly, the eldest husband was born in troubled times, and immediately won fame and sought peace for the villagers, Chai Rong admired Deng Jieyu and the two from the bottom of his heart.
"Although our Cizhou army occupies eight cities such as Xingzhou Lion City, it is facing a great danger at the moment! There's no way to solve it! Deng Junliang said slowly, after receiving the message from the Hedong Army, he discussed with Liu Feng many times before deciding to meet Guo Wei with such a posture today.
In order to reduce Guo Wei's wariness of the Cizhou Army and make the two families better united, Liu Feng had to be humble and polite.
"The new Khitan emperor ascended the throne not long ago, his prestige has not been established, and the loss of Xingzhou Shicheng and other places will make Yelu Ruan lose face, but there are too many conquests between the Khitan tribes, and they will not go south in a big way for a while, but Yelu Roar of Nanjing Xijin Mansion will not allow it, his rule is lost, and he will definitely pour out of the nest and lead the army south, Yelu Roar's wolf riders are well-equipped, and in the battle against the grassland, he has made great achievements, but it is an army that can fight well, not to be underestimated!"
Deng Junliang did not hide it at all, and revealed the truth, he and Liu Feng both knew that the Hedong Army had been confronting the Khitan for many years, and their intelligence information could only be more comprehensive than that of Cizhou, and they would not fail to understand the situation in the Khitan.
"What Mr. Deng said is reasonable, Yelu Roar This person has made great achievements in the Khitan war, although the wolf cavalry under his command has been fighting all year round and has seen fatigue, but Yelu Roar has a tough personality, and he will never allow Xingzhou Shicheng and other places to be occupied by the Cizhou Army in this way, and he will definitely lead his troops to the south again!" Chai Rong said so, since Liu Feng, Deng Junliang and others spread out and said, no longer verbally sharp, he also analyzed it briskly.
Guo Wei set his eyes on Liu Feng and asked, "As Mr. Deng said, the situation of your Cizhou Army is not good at the moment, but there is a good way to solve it?" ”
Liu Feng pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Since the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, my villagers in the north have been living under the iron hooves of the Khitan wolves, because there is no danger to defend in the north. ”
Guo Wei said: "That's true, once the sixteen states of Yanyun are lost, the gateway to the north is wide open, and the wolf rider can go south with a single knife, which is very difficult to prevent!" ”
Liu Feng seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Has General Guo ever thought about whether we can improve this situation by waiting for us to build the Great Wall of Beidi again!?" ”
Guo Wei, Chai Rong and the others looked at each other, and Liu Feng's views coincided with them, and he asked with an unmoving expression: "How to build the Great Wall again?" Where was it built? Even if the Great Wall is built again, it may not be too late to stop Yelu Roar's southward movement! ”
Liu Feng smiled: "Yijin Pass! Waqiaoguan! Gaoyang Pass! If you recapture the three levels, with the help of the terrain of the rivers in the north, you can stop the wolf from riding south. You can also spare a large number of troops, quell civil strife, and accumulate strength! ”
If Guo Wei hadn't believed it, what he said that day would never have reached Liu Feng's ears, and he would almost have thought that Liu Feng had already explored his thoughts before coming to unite, but he also looked admiring, and said after a while: "Do you want to continue to go north and return to Yingmo Erzhou?" ”
Liu Feng said: "However, the best defense is to attack, wait for the wolf rider to attack, why don't we wait for the first recapture!" ”
"Envoy Liu is joking! Thinking that your Cizhou army is only more than 10,000 people, and now such a large territory can't be defended, but you still dare to recapture Yingmo Erzhou, isn't it whimsical!? Chai Rong struck
Liu Feng smiled cheekily: "So, Feng cheeky came to meet the general and wanted to ask the general to help!" ”
Guo Wei smiled: "Don't compliment me, and talk about how to win the three levels, the second state is!" ”
Liu Feng smiled and retreated, Deng Junliang got up and said slowly: "When Yelu roared south, he found that the Cizhou army had a move to recapture Yingmo Erzhou, and he would definitely insist on fighting with our Cizhou army, and my Cizhou army could only retreat all the way. And the south is the lake city, the lake city as the name suggests, the city of many lakes, this place is not conducive to wolf cavalry fighting, if the general set up an ambush here, Yeluhong's army will no longer exist! ”
Guo Wei and the others looked at each other with a sudden look in their eyes, and they all bowed their heads.
Liu Feng added: "My Cizhou army has even taken down the Khitan eight cities within ten days, this is a great humiliation of the Khitan, Yelu Roar must have a grudge, and my Cizhou army is indeed defeated by Nanjing wolf cavalry, can only be defeated all the way back to Cizhou, and want to return to Cizhou, Hucheng is also a must pass, Yelu Roar will lead the army to chase after it, and annihilate my Cizhou army as fast as possible, so it will not give my Cizhou army a respite!" ”
"Although this plan is wonderful, if your Cizhou army has not yet arrived in Lake City and has broken away, the wolf rider does not need to go south!" Chai Rong pointed out such a flaw in one sentence.
Guo Wei also frowned and pondered.
Liu Feng said in a solemn voice: "This time I went to lure the enemy, I should personally lead the army, and I will definitely lead the Khitan wolf cavalry from the area of Hucheng Lake." ”
