Chapter 526: The Great Fire Under Helan Mountain
There is a guqin platform at the north foot of Helan Mountain, it is said that the immortals travel to the west with the qin, see the beautiful scenery of Helan Mountain, then look for the spring eye along the valley to this point, for a while, Yaxing is big, on this boulder to stroke the piano and play the strings, the fairy sound is misty.
Seeing a colorful cloud floating on the side of the distant mountain, the immortal rose into the air, threw off a string and floated away. Where the strings fall, it becomes a small stream, meandering, flowing around the boulder and the clear spring, gurgling down.
Since then, this boulder has been called Guqintai by the local people who yearn for beauty, and the stream below it is called Qinxi. Sitting on the piano platform and listening to the flow of the spring water, there will really be the sound of the piano, like a thread, and the wonder is endless.
At this time, there were also people sitting on the piano platform to listen, and if there was a trace of music passing through, Li Yuanhao was greatly intoxicated, but this beauty was destroyed when it was too good.
"Your Majesty still has the heart to listen to the fairy sound of Qintai at this time? The Liao army crossed the Yellow River and arrived on Pegasus, and please make a quick decision! ”
Li Yuanhao smiled when he saw the person coming: "Didn't hide it, when did you become so timid?" I've never seen you so flustered. Even if 100,000 Liao soldiers cross the Yellow River, our party is still a 400-mile clan tent grassland, and after the Liao soldiers are entangled with those clan tents, people are sleepy or my opponents in Daxia? Now you know why I put my army at the foot of Helan Mountain, right? ”
didn't hide it, Pang's face became extremely ugly, first, he didn't expect His Majesty to be so ruthless, tens of thousands of clan accounts said to abandon it, and second, the information he got seemed to be different from His Majesty's......
"Your Majesty! The minister got the news that the 400-mile clan tent grassland did not have any obstruction to the Liao Dynasty army, because the news was not clear, the Liao Dynasty army suddenly killed, the clan tent suffered heavy losses, and the 400-mile grassland has long been without the sound of cattle and horses, but corpses are all over the field, and dogs are howling and wailing! ”
Li Yuanhao, who was originally quite comfortable, was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly got up and said: "Impossible, even if more than 10,000 sheep are left to kill the Liao army, it is impossible to destroy them so quickly, these clans still have their own warriors, and I have not dispatched their elite soldiers!" Why was it so quickly destroyed and under the iron hooves of the Liao people! ”
Didn't hide Pang pouted in his heart, before the elite soldiers and strong generals were dispatched, the young and strong men in these clan tents had already been emptied, and the rest were either old and weak or women and children, how could they withstand the tiger and wolf division of the Liao people?
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Tanmalai reported that the army of the Liao Dynasty was approaching Helan Mountain! ”
At this time, Li Yuanhao was still immersed in incredulity, and for a moment, he was originally proud and showed an anxious expression, cursing the dead clan tent tribe while walking, and finally he didn't expect any good ideas, he turned his head and said to Father Wuzang: "Go and invite Father Shang to come, he must have a good way!" ”
He pointed to the guide and said, "Father Shang is still in Xingqing Mansion, does Your Majesty want to invite him now?" ”
Li Yuanhao was furious: "Of course now, do you have to wait for the Liao people to kill him and ask him?" Go, go, go, go, go! ”
He didn't hide it and turned his head and left, but when he left, his fists were clenched, it was really ridiculous, he didn't expect that the emperor he was loyal to was so timid, and the smooth sailing of the conquest of the Western Regions made Li Yuanhao proud of no one, once he found that the strength of the Liao Dynasty was equal to that of the Western Xia, he began to be timid!
This is not the quality of an emperor!
The current Li Yuanhao is like a child who is afraid of going home to find his father when he encounters a strong enemy, this metaphor is really appropriate, isn't Shang's father Ye Li Renrong his Li Yuanhao's "father"?
Although Li Yuanhao is a dignified emperor of Western Xia, he has three "fathers", one is the first emperor Li Deming, one is still the father Ye Li Renrong, and the other is actually the emperor Zhao Zhen of the Great Song Dynasty......
He has followed Li Yuanhao to fight in the south and north for many years, and has experienced more than 20 battles in the Western Regions.
Li Yuanhao, after all, he is his own emperor, he can only turn over and rush to Gyeongju City without hiding the false Pang, at this time, I am afraid that only Shang's father Ye Li Renrong can calm down His Majesty, and only he can come up with a plan to defeat the enemy, and he is also a member of the Western Xia, although he disdains Li Yuanhao's bullying and fear of the hard, but after all, he is a grasshopper on a rope.
Xingqing Mansion is only ten miles away from Helan Mountain, Li Yuanhao originally planned to gather a large army to ambush the exhausted Liao army here, but now it seems that the Liao army is not exhausted, Li Yuanhao is an extremely confident person, but when his self-confidence is broken, the whole person is like a deflated ball.
In his plan, the four hundred miles of clan tent grassland can consume the sharp spirit of the Liao people, in his opinion, these clan tents are a burden that can be sacrificed at any time, what is the use of the old and weak women and children? Their death can grieve and turn anger into anger for the men under their command!
But what he didn't expect was that the clan tent of tens of thousands of people did not consume the number and sharpness of the Liao people, and even did not slow down the pace of the Liao people's attack!
Even now, Li Yuanhao didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did, he still thought that all this was someone else's fault, it was those clan tents that didn't slow down the pace of the Liao people, and those clan tents didn't consume the Liao people's army.
At this time, he saw clearly that the combat power of the Liao Dynasty army was far from being comparable to those small countries in the Western Regions, and under equal strength, Li Yuanhao only had 60,000 available soldiers in his hands, and of course he was afraid of the Liao Dynasty's 100,000 troops.
Li Yuanhao, who had no choice, finally waited for reinforcements early the next morning, and Yeli Renrong brought 20,000 combatable soldiers from Xingqing Mansion!
80,000 against 100,000 people, even if the number is still not superior, Li Yuanhao is confident that he can fight the Liao people, and the wisdom of Yeli Renrong will definitely help him get through the difficulties.
As soon as Yeli Renrong arrived at the barracks, Li Yuanhao greeted this father who came in the dust, and none of the courtiers in Western Xia would be treated so well by Li Yuanhao, even the most capable general Yeli Yuqi was just a tool in his eyes.
Yeli Renrong knew Li Yuanhao's worries, and after entering the imperial tent, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty is a little safe, the minister has brought 20,000 soldiers from Xingqing Mansion for Your Majesty to drive, and the Liao people do not know the terrain of Helan Mountain, and the army will inevitably be lengthy to go deep into the grain and grass, Your Majesty only needs to clear the wilderness with a strong wall, and then send someone to cut off the grain road of the Liao army, and the 100,000 soldiers of the Liao people will not be able to fight for a long time under the chewing of horses!" ”
Li Yuanhao was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said: "Father Shang's words are a clever plan!" I also have this thought, but I want to fight with Yeluzong in a real battle, if I can capture him alive or get rid of him, then the Liao army will naturally be defeated! ”
Yeli Renrong's face changed greatly: "Your Majesty must not fight!" The purpose of clearing the field is to consume the enemy's grain and grass, and our Western Xia army should avoid its edge and wander to the side to consume the enemy, how can it meet the enemy head-on? This is not possible. ”
Li Yuanhao's face instantly became ugly, squinting at Yeli Renrong and said, "Does Father Shang think that my Great Xia army is not worthy of the Liao people?!" ”
How could a wise man like Yeli Renrong not understand Li Yuanhao's temper of great joy? Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still shook his head and said: "My Great Xia Iron Cavalry has been fighting in the Western Regions for many years, and all of them are elite soldiers. ”
Li Yuanhao laughed and said, "That's right! Naturally, I won't attack in person, and I have my own generals in the army who can fight! I sit firmly in the Chinese army and wait for the changes! ”
That night, the fire began to burn in the grassland under Helan Mountain, and in order to clear the wilderness, Li Yuanhao did not hesitate to let the rangers go out and forcibly ignited the grain stocks of many farmers......
