"You're a messenger from Jinning, right?"

The Son of Heaven's faint words shocked the military man's body, "Holy Lord, the little one should be damned, damn it!" Forget about the business, the little one is dead. I wanted to struggle, but I was gently pressed by the Son of Heaven, and I couldn't move at all.

"Say so, don't waste your time."

"Yes, yes......" The soldier didn't dare to ramble anymore, and hurriedly told him the news he brought.

On the distant dirt slope, Empress Xiao and Hu Dugu watched the situation of the Emperor of the Nanren giving medicine to this small pawn, and Empress Xiao snorted coldly, "The Nanren are hypocritical and accustomed to buying people's hearts, in this regard, he is no different from other Nanren." ”

Hu Dugu grinned, although he didn't seem to agree, but naturally he wouldn't refute his master.

……

Under the soil slope, listening to the news brought by this Shenwu light horse, Lu Ning was overjoyed.

Lu Qing not only broke Yelu Yihu's Wuding army, but also sent the Shenwu army light cavalry to rush to the city of Ulzhou with the beheaded enemy's head.

Ulzhou is more than 40 miles north of Jinning, and compared with the position of the Qi army in Jinning Town, it is not only like Ulzhou and the Liao states in the north, besieging Jinning in the north and south, but also like the Liao enclave that was isolated and divided by Jinning.

Now that Ulzhou has landed, not to mention the side, from Ulzhou to Feihukou and then to the front line of Dingzhou, Hebei, it is suddenly clear that the news of Hebei can be transmitted to the Shanxi front line very quickly, and their own instructions can also be quickly sent to the Hebei front. And it's not like before, sometimes, you have to go around in a big circle, from Taiyuan, that is too time-consuming, the military situation between each other, the delay is too long, there is no way to coordinate the operation, and each department can only give a general strategic goal, the commander of each department, and act cheaply.

Jun Han also said that when he got up, Ulzhou had newly descended, and Lu Qing and Lu Dianzhi had already led the army and horses to attack Xinzhou.

However, Jun Han also said that when Lu Dianzhi had just broken through Yelu Yi's army, he sent more than a dozen light horsemen to report to His Majesty, and he was one of the second batch of more than a dozen horsemen.

Lu Ning didn't see any of the first batch of light riding messengers, but the scope of his activities was too large, and it was normal for him to not meet these messengers who only had an approximate destination.

However, as soon as the second group of light riders arrived, he met with one of them, and his luck was good.

Lu Ning took out the map he brought with him from his arms, in fact, he didn't look at it, he was naturally familiar with the general situation in terms of strategy.

If Lu Qing took the four states of Wudingjun, he would cut off the route of Yelu Xidi's eastward return.

Of course, it is not very likely that Yelu Xidi was made dumplings, after all, in the north of Datong Mansion in Yunzhou, the Outer Great Wall still has what later generations called killing the tiger's mouth (killing Hukou), which is now called Shenhekou, also called Xikou.

From this killing tiger's mouth, Yelu Xidi can retreat north into the grassland of Inner Mongolia, which is now called Monan.

Although the Khitan rule is relatively loose, after all, nominally, they all respect the Liao lord as the Great Khan.

It seems that it is necessary to plan a little, not to make Yelu Xidi calmly retreat, at the very least, to inflict maximum damage on him.

Of course, at present, it is still trying to prevent the messengers from Xinzhou from going to the camp of Yelu Xidi, although it is said that as long as the generals of the messengers sent by Xinzhou are smart enough to not make the messengers take the main road, slow down, and take some small roads, then there will definitely be messengers to send the news to the camp of Yelu Xidi, but if they can stop it for a while, it will be a while.

While pondering, he saw the blue-robed scholar who was looking at the two evil ghosts worriedly, and suddenly knelt down, "Holy Lord, please spare my two brothers, they are stupid, they just want to live, and they don't know anything." ”

The two demons had also struggled to sit up, but they looked at Lu Ning in fear and did not dare to escape.

"What's your name?" Lu Ning glanced at the two evil ghosts, and said in his heart that these two guys have a lot of strength, and they are faintly red-haired, it should be that the ancestors don't know which generation, there is Huyi mixed blood.

"Grass people Pei Bao, my two brothers, the eldest brother Pei Long, and the second brother Pei Hu. My parents died early, the three of me depended on each other, the local war was chaotic, and my three brothers didn't want to flee, so they would sneak around and become a bandit who cut the path......" The scholar in the green robe kowtowed again and again, and his heart was terrified.

The soldier who was injured by himself and others actually called the person in front of him who he didn't dare to look at more as a "saint"?

I can't believe it, it's really Qi Tianzi who came here, alone?

However, it can only be called like this, so as not to anger this "saint".

"Have you read a book?" Lu Ning was a little curious.

Pei Bao's face immediately showed shame, "The grass people are illiterate, and this robe is also handed down from the ancestors." ”

Lu Ning nodded slightly, and pondered for a while, "Okay, that's the case, the three of you, take the guilt and make meritorious contributions, find a secret place, and help me take care of him." As he spoke, he pointed to the Shenwu soldiers.

I pondered in my heart, but the horses had to be taken away by themselves, those two red-haired ghosts had no brains, and they turned their heads and didn't know what the hell they were thinking, but they were the pawns under their own command, seeing that they didn't come, with this Pei Leopard, they didn't have to worry about their lives, not to mention that they had their own entrustment now.

I thought about it again, these two red-haired ghosts, who turned around and joined the army in front of the palace, were also capable pawns.

"Yes, yes, thank you!" Pei Bao was busy kowtowing.

Pei Long and Pei Hu, the two red-haired ghosts, glanced at each other, and also knelt down and kowtowed, but they both said in a humble voice: "Grandpa Emperor, I am willing to follow Grandpa Emperor and go back to fight for a prince!" ”

The two are simple-minded, the third brother calls each other "Shengshang", the two don't think much about why a great emperor would see them single-handedly and do something with them, the third brother said yes, then the other party must be the emperor.

Moreover, it is a very good emperor, and his brothers have not been so cowardly, and they can't get along with other people, and they are beaten down by adults and children. But since they are emperors, the brothers are not wronged, luck has come!

Pei Bao smiled bitterly in his heart, and said that he had told them too many stories, not to mention that the other party's identity was doubtful, so he was really His Majesty the Son of Heaven, you two thought it was in the story, you two heroes and heroes? Did you meet the owner today?

Where will people pay attention to you? What my two silly brothers.

Moreover, if you open your mouth, you have to fight a "prince" back, so that you won't be laughed to death? You'll also think you're too ambitious.

Lu Ning was amused and said, "I am short of two horses, but you two can't ride horses, right?" ”

The two red-haired ghosts looked embarrassed, and one of them said in a humble voice: "Grandpa Emperor, we can run faster than a horse, okay?" ”

Oh? Although I know that this guy is bragging, but the two of them should not be untrustworthy, and bragging will always be a little bit of a side, Lu Ning smiled: "How fast can you two run?" How long does it take to get to Blackstone Mountain from here? ”

The two red-haired ghosts shook their heads in confusion, obviously they had never been to Black Rock Mountain, after all, they were more than fifty miles away.

"Okay, you stay first, and take care of my soldiers with Pei Bao, and when the war is settled, I will see how fast you run, and whether you are qualified to be my horse." Lu Ning waved his hand and said; "It's time for me to go!"

Pei Long and Pei Hu were a little unwilling, but Pei Bao looked at him again and again, and whispered: "This is the emperor's grandfather testing your patience!" "The two evil ghosts, together with Pei Bao, kowtowed and said yes.

Hu Dugu pursed his lips and smiled, but Queen Xiao secretly thought, these strange-shaped things are really like things.

……

As they continued to hunt the Liao people who traveled between Xinzhou and Yelu Xidi's camp, good news and bad news followed.

First of all, the news from Dingzhou that Yelu Xidi led the army into Shanxi, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Liao army in Youzhou, the Hedong Army and the Hebei Army both marched north.

Gao Huaide led the Hedong Army and took Yizhou.

So that Ulzhou, Jinning and Hebei are truly connected.

Lu Ping led the Hebei Army, and even took Ying, Mo, Xiong, and Ba Prefectures, and advanced the front line to the front of the Juma River, that is, the front line of Song and Liao in history.

These four states are extremely close to each other, and they are in the south of Juma Henan, and the Liao people did not pay much attention to it, and the domino effect, one surrendered, and the rest surrendered.

But then, Lu Ning caught a military newspaper from Xinzhou who went to the Yelu Xidi camp.

The urgent report of the military situation passed on actually came from Shangjing, and the Liao lord Yelu Gong Sage, heard that Qi Tianzi had personally conquered Youyun, and had already ordered the army to go south.

Obviously, although Yelu Gong Sage did not like the southern system, the southern officials, and the southern people, he also attached great importance to Youyun, and saw that the Qi people were not bluffing for the sake of defeating the Han, so he was naturally furious, so he led the army to conquer Youzhou.

This urgent report, a few days after being intercepted by Lu Ning, sent a letter from Xinzhou again, this time, it was the light cavalry of the Shenwu Army, and more than a dozen light cavalry, and the report said that Lu Dianzhi had defeated the remnants of Yelu Yijia and conquered Xinzhou, and Wuzhou surrendered with it, and now Lu Dianzhi is driving troops to attack Yanzhou.

It seems that before the Liao lord's army arrives in Youzhou, Lu Qing should not have much problem conquering the four states of the Wuding army.

In this way, you can threaten Youzhou from the direction of Juyong Pass.

Now, it's up to you to see how to defeat the bottom of Yeluxi under Yunzhou City.

The originally expected dumplings became a castle in the air, because the Liao lord went south, and the palace army and the Shenwu army wanted to stabilize the situation in the four states of the Wuding army, and could not come west to attack the bottom of Yeluxi.

Otherwise, the Liao military machine is extremely powerful, and when it arrives in Youzhou to divide the troops, all the way out of Juyongguan, the four states of the Wuding Army that have just been pacified, the military and the people's hearts have not yet stabilized, and they will inevitably be easily conquered by the Liao army.

In this way, the army in front of the palace became sandwich biscuits again.

In short, the battlefield in Hebei and Shanxi is now complicated, you have me, I have you, and each has its own containment.

However, the 20,000 Beijing garrison troops stationed in Youzhou were the most well-equipped and strongest in combat effectiveness among the forbidden troops.

It's just that it hasn't been accumulated.

Not to mention, in the current situation, the 20,000 Beijing garrison troops in Taiyuan and Daizhou can also go north at any time.

After Yelu Xidi lost thousands of cavalry from Xiao Qigu, the so-called siege of the city was only under the city of Yunzhou, if he really joined the siege, the Beijing garrison army would have already broken its side.

After all, Yelu Xidi was full of 30,000 or 40,000 horses, and there were more than 10,000 foot soldiers of the southern army of Youzhou, and if the city was besieged on all sides, it would be impossible to catch it at all.

In the siege of the city, it is basically necessary for the side with absolute superiority to besiege the side with a big disadvantage.

Yelu Xidi was cautious enough to make the Jingshu army in Yunzhou City only take a defensive position.

But now, too, it's time to clean up this old fox.
