Chapter 36 Flattery
Standing in the dark, people will consciously or unconsciously look for light, if we stand on the red sun and scorching land to find green shade is our only appeal.
We don't like pure darkness, nor do we like excessive light, the half-bright and half-obscure environment is actually the most suitable for us to survive, there is darkness that allows us to hide from sin, and there is also light that allows us to dry our guilt - Yun Zheng
The amount of grain and grass is too large, and the amount of poison is not enough, and the only result is that there is a problem with the stomach, and Xiaolin is about to run wild for those Liao people who vomit and diarrhea.
Song Jun has no patience to tie up these people who are already sore, and the best way to deal with them is to give him a knife, and he will be killed......
From Bear Ears Mountain to Iron Wrapping Gate to Gouzhu Mountain until the Two Wolf Mountains 200,000 Liao people ran wild in the mountains, and no one who walked into the plain came back, Guo Hengchuan had long been mentally prepared for this, without the war horses and the heavy capital army, the only expectation now is to become more scattered, the Song army is not enough in terms of numbers, and it is impossible to divide more manpower to chase down such a huge group of routs. Guo Hengchuan is still waiting in the eighteenth plate, waiting for a suitable time to let himself escape.
After Yelu Dagu learned that Xiao Huo'er was defeated and Guo Hengchuan was trapped, he really did not live up to Guo Hengchuan's expectations, and turned around with the army and left, and was chased by Jiang Zhe for more than 40 miles. In a panic, six teams of fast horsemen were sent to report the battle to the king of the southern courtyard day and night. Ask for reinforcements from the Liao army, otherwise Xijing will inevitably fall.
Yun Zheng's army did not leave the eighteen plates, and Guo Hengchuan, who did not move, was still his great enemy. can't be taken lightly at all, as for chasing and killing those defeated troops, he thinks that the Lan army and the Ninghua army can take on such a heavy task.
The garrisons of these places have been trembling and obedient these days, and now it is time to give them some sweetness. If these people can't even deal with some Liao people who vomit and vomit, there is no need for them to save zài.
Li Dongchu led his troops to seal the tiger's mouth, which was all thanks to Guo Ruhai. This guy in human skin was extremely brave in the mouth of the tiger, and he carried a thousand men and horses of his own. He defeated more than 4,000 people of the Guo clan, and under his rage, less than half of the more than 4,000 people fled, after Li Dongchu's reinforcements arrived. I was surprised to see the capital army that was kneeling and surrendering.
Once the courage of the army is out, even a rabbit dares to fight the wolf, and Yun Zheng's stand-in can win three heads, which is too unexpected for Yun Zheng.
When Guo Hengchuan learned that his son was in the mouth of the tiger, he decisively abandoned this exit and led his army to start the most cruel escape in the mountains.
This is the only Liao army that can still maintain its formation in Yanmen Pass.
The reckless mountains are now Guo Hengchuan's biggest obstacle, and they are also his biggest life-saving dependence, even if Yun Zheng stands at the highest point of the eighteen plates and looks at the vast mountains, he has to admire Guo Hengchuan's will. If he wants to leave Yanmen Pass safely, he not only has to cross more than 300 miles of mountains, but also has three rivers to swim across. The capital army, which only had two days of food supplies per person, did not know if they could reach Yingzhou safely.
When Li Chang saw Yun Zheng, he wore a wide court dress and danced to him to congratulate him, this guy has not had a comfortable life these days, just look at the white hair dotted between his temples, you know how tormented he has been these days.
"Why should the prison army say thank you. You also have a lot to do with this big victory, and none of us need to congratulate anyone. We deserve it. ”
Li Chang held Yun Zheng's hands and choked up: "Yun Hou doesn't know, what does this victory mean to my Great Song Dynasty, the war on the Eastern Front is already in jeopardy, Liu Huan, the magistrate of Tang County, has been loyal to the country, Tang County has been lost, the Liao general Yelu Huata has been under the city of Dingzhou, the commander of the Divine Guard Army has killed Yao Du in battle, more than 20,000 soldiers were beheaded, Yelu Flower Pagoda made ten miles of Jingguan under the city of Dingzhou, His Majesty was extremely angry, and the imperial driver left the Daimyo's Mansion and was marching to Zhending Mansion, no matter how Bao Zheng, Han Qi, and Wen Yanbo persuaded him, His Majesty also didn't listen, and slashed on the table with his sword and said: "Those who dare to persuade will end up like this case!" ”
This is all said in the letter of the second brother Li Shou, who is now by His Majesty's side, and seeing that things are out of control, he wrote to me hoping that the marshal can end the battle of Yanmen Pass as soon as possible and lead the army to the east to protect it, he is extremely unoptimistic about the combat power of the Japanese army. ”
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly: "You also know that if the battle of Yanmen Pass wants to end perfectly, it will take at least ten days, and we will give the brothers at least five days to rest and recuperate, and then we can send troops. ”
Li Chang dragged Yun Zheng to a place where no one was there and whispered: "Dashuai, what you said is true, but at this time, even if you defeat the entire Liao Kingdom, you don't have the credit of leading your troops to Dingzhou to rescue the driver.
You have been thinking about recovering Yanyun, you know this, but you should also be able to see that this station has almost shaken the country's capital, the Song and Liao countries are at war, it can be said that both sides are defeated, and Western Xia is eyeing them on the side, Fu Bi has already entered Hexi, and Li Qing, the general under the command of Pang, led his troops out of Xingqing Mansion and is heading towards Yinzhou, if it weren't for the fact that I gave a warning to the Zuoxiang Shenyong Military Division in the name of the marshal, telling them that Xiao Huo'er had been awarded the head, which temporarily deterred them, and at this time they might have launched an attack on us.
Under all the confusion, Da Song had already lost the opportunity to capture Yan Yun, and it was time for Da Shuai to think about himself anyway.
Since last year, His Majesty's temperament has changed greatly, and he has made the Manchu Dynasty at a loss for civil and military affairs, some people speculate that this is His Majesty's self-knowing destiny soon, so he will do such a perverse thing, this qiē is the first to do for the little prince to govern, so at this time, His Majesty will not care about the lives of the soldiers, nor will he take care of the lives of the ministers, as long as His Majesty thinks that the courtiers may affect the little prince's governance, no matter who it is, he will do it, So no matter what His Majesty does now, basically no one is going to die, and at this time, maybe he will really die. ”
"In the final analysis, it is a matter of troops, if we have enough troops, it is not a problem to send an army to serve in front of His Majesty, but where do we have the manpower?" Yun Zheng's right hand clenched into a fist, and he kept beating the hatred of his left hand.
Li Chang almost screamed, and said hurriedly: "God, do you dare to send your subordinates at this time?" In any case, it should be you who go by yourself, if there is no army, we will squeeze out an army, Ningwu Pass will be handed over to Jiang Zhe, Yanmen Pass will be handed over to Li Dongchu, Lang Tan is now building a city pass in Hequ, it is estimated that there is no problem, anyway, the Liao people in Xijing have been almost killed by you, and now they only dare to hide behind the city and wait for you to attack, if you don't fight them, they are their ancestors.
Besides, you don't need to bring too many troops to go through your majesty, one or two thousand elites is enough, you must let your majesty see your sincerity to protect you.
Dashuai, please, now it's not just me who is following you to eat, but also all the soldiers of our Jingxi 15th Road, only if you stand tall, the brothers can eat a bowl of Ansheng rice. ”
Yun Zheng sighed and said: "Lao Li, you can be regarded as convincing me, if it is for my own sake, I will never do what you say, Yun Zheng stands upright and stands upright, I rely on military merits to eat, I don't need to look at other people's faces, but you are right, the job I am seeking now is not just me eating alone, but everyone is eating together, this job bowl can't be smashed!" Or, fifteen days later, I immediately led my troops out of Yingzhou, and once I went to Dingzhou, I would meet the Yelu Flower Pagoda that likes to make zuò Jingguan! ”
Li Changxiao's tears came out, patted his thigh and said happily: "I'm going to write a recital for His Majesty, inform the world of the news of the great victory, and by the way, tell His Majesty, just say that you are extremely angry with Yelu Huata for turning the first level of our soldiers into Jingguan, and decided to send troops to fight with him, and by the way, this person will be made into a wax man, and placed in the Wude Hall to warn the Liao people!"
I won't mention anything like protecting the car in half a word, just saying that it is for revenge, and you would rather disobey the military laws of the Great Song Dynasty and take action once! ”
Yun Zheng smiled: "Lao Li, have I ever praised you for being an official before?" ”
Li Chang was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Boasted, when it comes to marching and fighting marshals are invincible in the world, when it comes to being an official hahaha, I, Li Chang, am by no means a general, and the marshal suffers losses in being too honest, let's turn these real military exploits into benefits that are not envied by others is a long-term solution, otherwise in the future, a few brilliant strokes will be written in the history books, but my own life will be unbearable, not cost-effective, there are too many merits and the suspicion of high merit, If Dashuai goes to Dingzhou this time, he can put the credit for killing Yelu Huata on His Majesty's body...... Hehe, we will be able to lie down and eat overlord meals on Jingxi 15th Road in the future. ”
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled: "You really think of me ......"
Li Chang glanced at Yun Zheng deeply and said: "Li Chang used to be an extremely cautious person, but since I saw the miracles of Da Shuai's creation, I unconsciously thought that Yelu Hua Pagoda would be another prey that Da Shuai was going to capture, you know, you are not in Yanmen Pass, I am hiding behind and trembling and dare not go to the battlefield, but since I heard that you are back, I Li Chang doesn't even think that there is anything terrible to stand at the forefront of the battlefield, a stray arrow flew over, and the old man didn't blink his eyes, The guards took their shields and blocked them casually. If you're not there, hehe. ”
"It will be the courage of the soldiers, you will slowly know it in the future, now you need me to strengthen your courage, and soon, you will have to strengthen the courage of the soldiers below, Lao Li, no one has been bold since birth, they are all cultivated in the day after tomorrow, we are on the 15th road in Jingxi, you still need a lot of experience in the future."
Li Chang laughed and left, and he could see that this guy was in high spirits.
Yun Zheng looked back at the black smoke that was still rising from the mountains, found a place to sit down, pulled a complete willow leaf casually, and whined in his mouth. (To be continued)
