Chapter 583: Calculating with Each Other
In a mountain nest one hundred and fifty miles away from the Yulin Right Guard Camp, Yelu Xiuge lay on his back on the grass, with a grass root in his mouth, and his eyes fixed on the stars in the dark night sky.
"Envoy of the Lord, not far to the east, I found the Sentinel Cavalry of the Southerners." Lin Ya, the military capital of the leather room, quickly ran to Yelu Hugh's face, and whispered the latest military information.
"Well, it's time for the math to come." Brother Yelu Hugh turned over lazily and asked Xiao Deqian lightly, "How many people are there?" ”
Xiao Deqian thought for a moment and reported: "There are about ten people, but according to the people from the south, Li Wuji has always been cautious and cautious in using troops, especially sentinels. The general estimated that there should be a batch of dark sentinels after it. ”
Jeruxiugo made a gesture, and one of the henchmen immediately handed over a large leather bag, which contained Yeluxiu's favorite mare's milk spirit.
"Coo-goo-goo-......goo- ”
Xiao Deqian, the distant nephew of the current Empress Dowager Xiao, is extremely brave in battle, dares to fight and kill, and is nicknamed: Crazy Wolf!
With Xiao Deqian's background and great military exploits, if he wasn't particularly lustful, even the concubines of the King of Chu would dare to flirt with him in person, and he would have been the commander of the leather room army long ago.
Yelu Hongjing, the king of Chu, is the uncle of the current emperor of the Khitan State and the elder of the royal family, how can he allow Xiao Deqian to be so arrogant?
If it weren't for Yelu Hugo's secret protection, Xiao Deqian would not have been able to serve as the Du Linya of the leather room army. I'm afraid that even my head will have to move.
Since then, Xiao Deqian has become Yeluxiugo's most loyal subordinate. Obey your words and never disobey.
"Cardinal. It's better for me to lead someone to outflank them and ...... those southern barbarians" Xiao Deqian raised his arm and made a vicious downward gesture.
"Hehe, don't act rashly." Yelu Xiuge waved his hand and explained with a smile, "This place is only more than 150 miles away from the camp of the Nanda people in Puzhou. If you can kill the Southern Barbarian sentinels, kill them all. That's fine. ”
"As long as it is, if we escape from a southern barbarian, we have worked so hard to come here, won't it be in vain?" After drinking the mare's milk wine, his eyes were bright, and his whole person was in extraordinary spirits.
"What do you mean, cardinal?" Xiao Deqian is extremely brave in battle, but his brain is a little tendony, and he is not very bright.
"There is an old saying in the south. A clever person has more than one plan. How could a guy like Li Wuyi, who was more cunning than a fox, not leave a backhand? Jeruhugo sat up suddenly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Give the order." The war horse is put on its head and the mouth is stuffed with cloth, who dares to make a sound. Ben Shuai wants his whole family to be old and young, and he can't survive. You can't die. ”
After Xiao De subtly ordered to go down, he returned to Yelu Huge's side. He asked in a low voice: "Cardinal envoy, it's just Li Zhongyi, the southern barbarian......"
Before Xiao Deqian finished speaking, Yelu Xiuge waved his hand and coldly reprimanded: "Don't you forget that you belong to the Shan army, how did you fail miserably?" ”
"The Southern Barbarians who can force my Khitan elite Shan Army into a desperate situation and almost swallow it in one bite, in the past hundred years, Li Wuyi is just one person." Jeruxiu took a long breath and said excitedly, "It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting opponent." ”
Xiao Deqian clearly felt that Yelu Xiu Ge seemed to be about to capture the prey's wonderful emotions, although he couldn't fully understand it for a while, he faintly felt that Li Zhongyi had been regarded by Ye Lu Xiu Ge as the only number one rival in his life.
In the years that had passed, all those who had been enemies of Jerecius, without exception, were defeated by his horse.
The invincible god of war of the Great Khitan Kingdom is about to collide with the peerless handsome talent among the Southern Barbarians, who loses and who wins, and the mystery still needs to be officially started to know!
This time, Yelu Hugo secretly went south, and as Li Zhongyi expected, he only brought 15,000 horsemen. However, these 15,000 cavalry are by no means the ordinary tribal army of the Khitan, but the most elite leather room army in the entire northern country.
The total number of the leather room army has not exceeded 50,000 so far, and Yelu Xiuge has already brought one-third, so you can imagine how much he attaches importance to Li Zhongyi, a cunning Han man?
**********************************************************************
A group of more than a dozen riders, in the shape of a huge fan, covered each other, and after crossing the ridges, they stopped in front of a small hill in the leeward direction.
Needless to say, the two outermost knights had dismounted, with bamboo whistles in their mouths and crossbows in their hands, and quickly climbed to the top of the slope, and lurked in the grass.
The three knights turned over and dismounted, unloaded their knapsacks from their saddles, and they cooperated with each other to quickly set up two simple little tents.
At this time, a knight, carrying a large bag, got into a tent and covered the tent door with his backhand.
......The knight took out a special white phosphorus scythe from his bosom, drew the flames, and lit a candle.
Then, the knight swung his standard sharp shovel and quickly dug a small hole in the grass.
Immediately afterwards, the knight put the dry wood collected on the road into the pit, set up a stand for boiling water, and hoisted the copper kettle for boiling water to the support.
At this moment, curling green smoke drifted out of the small hole at the top of the tent, and then disappeared into the starry night sky.
In another tent, a group of people were sitting together, some with their eyes closed, others clenching their blades in their hands and pricking up their ears, listening carefully to the movements outside.
"Team Zhang, we've come out for more than 130 miles, right?" A young strong man like a black iron tower approached the chief and whispered a conversation.
Team Zhang took out the water bladder on his waist, took a sip, and said softly: "Within a radius of 100 miles, there is no hostile situation, I think something is wrong." ”
The Black Iron Tower listened vigilantly to the movements outside, and then deliberately lowered his voice again, and reminded in a low voice: "Team Zhang." We've come a long way back, isn't it time to go back? ”
"How. Scared? Team Zhang was stuffing the water bladder back into the saddle, turning his head to look at the Black Iron Tower with a smile.
The Black Tower touched its head. grinned softly: "I'm old black, even if I'm alone, hiding in the crowd of Khitan barbarians, I've never been afraid." ”
Team Zhang was smiling dumbly, the Black Iron Tower had long been the best among the sentinels of the pioneer battalion, he had been born and died I don't know how many times, his hands were stained with the blood of the enemy, he was not greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Lao Hei, we are the most elite sentry under the commander. We were sent out on a mission. is not desperate with the Khitans, but to find out the whereabouts of most of their main force and report it to the commander. Team Zhang imitated Li Zhongyi's mode of speaking, and took the opportunity to rest to give an educational lesson to the Black Iron Tower, "If the marshal knew the traces of the Khitans an hour earlier, our entire army would be ready to destroy the enemy an hour earlier." ”
"With my more than five years of experience as a sentinel detective, the path we are taking now. Eighty percent of them are problematic. Team Zhang squinted his eyes and whispered, "Coming along the way, I saw the people coming in." But I didn't see anyone come out, old black, don't you think it's strange? ”
Black Tower listened to Zhang Teamzheng's analysis. couldn't help but stare at each other, and the whole person immediately became excited. "You mean to say ......"
Team Zhang glanced at everyone in the tent and said lightly: "The Khitans are probably not far ahead. In order to find out the enemy's military situation. I dared to take a huge risk to let the brothers eat a few bites of hot water and soak cakes, and maintain good physical strength, so that we could travel more than 100 miles in one breath anytime and anywhere. ”
Inside the tent, under the faint candlelight, everyone, including the Black Iron Tower, stared intently at Zhang Teamzheng's face.
Team Zhang pursed his lips and smiled, and said lightly: "Everyone is also an old man in the pioneer camp, and there are rules for what to do." When the time comes, even if my head is about to be cut off by the Khitans, I am not allowed to turn back to save it. ”
Black Tower opened his mouth to refute something, but in the end, he had to bow his head.
Under Li Zhongyi's careful teaching, the elite sentries of the Yulin Right Guard Pioneer Battalion were all trained to become the elite of the warriors.
A person who can be a sentinel not only has excellent martial arts, but also needs to be sober-minded, know how to judge the situation, and make the most correct judgment according to local conditions.
According to the concept that Li Zhongyi has always instilled, the most important duty of the sentry is not to fight with the enemy, but to find out the detailed enemy situation and report back to the camp as quickly as possible, which is a great achievement!
Otherwise, even if you kill a thousand enemies, it is a serious dereliction of duty, not only is it useless, but it is a great sin!
The Black Iron Tower sighed lightly and whispered, "We have walked more than a hundred miles, this is the first time, and it may be the last time to drink a sip of hot soup." ”
Team Zhang stroked the scabbard with one hand, smiled slightly, and said, "The brothers all know, if it weren't for Li Dashuai, I'm afraid I would still be hunting in the mountains, so poor that I can't even afford to marry a pot maker." Squinting his eyes, thinking of the virtuous virtue of the pretty cousin, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
The black tower was aroused to miss his wife, and couldn't help but say: "The one in my house is already pregnant, according to the fortune teller, it is a male baby." ”
Zhang Teamzheng's big hand left the hilt, turned his head and smiled: "When this battle is over, you must invite me to drink a glass of wine." ”
"That's that, if you don't invite you to drink, what's that?" Black Iron Tower was thinking about the baby who had not yet been born, and his mood was much higher.
After the mutton soup was boiling, Team Zhang was soaking the pancakes into a large soup bowl with everyone, taking a bite of soup and a bite of cakes, and devouring dinner.
After eating and drinking enough and resting for about half an hour, Team Zhang was leading everyone, covering each other, packing up the tent, and using a shovel to clean up all the traces of firewood and grass burning, and then re-mounted.
According to the rules of the pioneer battalion, the Black Iron Tower and a robe were placed at the front of the team, Team Zhang was in the center to respond to the command, and the rear team fell far away.
They opened a large gap between each other, so as not to be discovered by the enemy army, and came to a pot.
After continuing to move forward for more than ten miles, the sharp-eyed Black Iron Tower suddenly discovered a new situation, a group of Khitan cavalry who did not raise fire, escorting a carriage, slowly came along the official road towards the south.
***********************************
Li Zhongyi was getting closer and closer to Yelu Bottle, Zhu Niang frowned, and deliberately coughed lightly. Remind her, a lustful husband, not to mess around with her crooked brains.
Jerevian also sensed that something was wrong. Red clouds flew up on the snow-white face, but the heart was extremely angry. She is a noble Khitan princess, how can she be so light by a lowly Han person?
With Yelu's temperament, if it weren't for the fact that her hands were tied behind her back, she would have shaved her ears and slapped Li Zhongyi's hateful face.
Li Zhongyi noticed the strange look on Yelu's face, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Think about the beginning, when he hugged the beautiful Belarusian girl to bed. Her delicate demeanor was almost exactly the same as the embarrassment of Jeruvial now.
Who is Yelu Bottle, and whether her body can be touched now, Li Zhongyi knows better than anyone else. Otherwise, he is not worthy of playing the game of "chasing deer" with many powerful ministers and generals.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, what will happen if the Prime Minister hands you over to Han Kuangsi to deal with?" Li Zhongyi quietly threw out the heavy thunder that had been prepared a long time ago.
"You...... You dare to ......" Jeruzha slammed into a slammer. Li Zhongyi's statement was completely beyond the limit she could imagine, and for a while, she was so shocked that her delicate body trembled slightly. was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't speak.
Li Zhongyi ignored Yelu's overreaction, and said to himself: "Since you voted for me Da Zhou." Han Kuangsi's wife and several daughters were all edicted by Brother Ling. Divided into the shepherd slaves of the East China Sea women. Uh-huh, Your Highness the Princess. Do you know who the shepherd slaves of the East China Sea are? ”
Before Yelu was captured, she had been a frequent visitor to the Khitan highest decision-making circle, and of course she had heard a lot about the East China Sea Nuzhi.
The so-called female straight of the East China Sea is actually a group of wild people in the deep mountains and old forests who live in Changbai Mountain, and in terms of blood, they belong to part of the female straight family.
In the eyes of the Khitan people, the female straight people are roughly divided into two types: mature women and born girls. Mature woman straight, in addition to herding, also farming.
The daughter is straight, and lives an extremely difficult life of fishing and hunting, often eating raw meat and drinking raw blood.
The Khitan nobles, including Yeluhua, have always regarded their daughters as uncivilized barbaric sluts.
After Han Kuangsi took refuge in the Great Zhou, several of his sisters-in-law, killed and killed, Guan, his wives and concubines and adult daughters, were actually rewarded by the Khitan monarch to give birth to a daughter as a slave, and his fate was so tragic that he didn't need to think about it at all.
If Li Zhongyi handed over the Yelu bottle to Han Kuangsi's hands, it is conceivable that she would definitely be rectified to the point that life is worse than death!
Yelu's delicate body trembled slightly, obviously frightened, and Zhu Niang saw all this in full view, and her heart was inexplicably filled with a sour taste.
With Zhu Niang's understanding of Li Zhongyi's temper, he is a big man who likes to conquer fierce horses, and the stronger the better.
Don't talk about it from afar, the peony in the small tent next to it was once miserable by Li Zhongyi!
If this incident is used to prove that Li Zhongyi is narrow-minded, it is also unfair.
According to Zhe Saihua's private speculation, Li Zhongyi is likely to be a child, and he was devastated by the eldest wife of the Li family, Cao, so that he was a little cautious of women.
Li Zhongyi saw that he was shocked by Yelu Bottle, and then struck while the iron was hot, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I have no other requirements for you. Just tell me, is Yelu Hugo the so-called No. 1 Khitan general boasted? ”
"You want to trick me?" Yelu is not a vegetarian either, so he reacted immediately, his pretty face tightened, and he glared angrily at Li Zhongyi, who had a wicked smile.
Li Zhongyi chuckled softly: "Let's talk about some interesting things about Brother Yelu Xiu's past, just as a small talk!" ”
The seemingly shrewd but simple Yelu bottle was played by Li Zhongyi, Zhu Niang wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.
The woman's intuition told Zhu Niang that Li Zhongyi was more or less possessive of the Yelu bottle, which was convex and backward and looked unusually standard.
In fact, Zhe Saihua told Zhu Niang to see Li Zhongyi, and in the end, she also left a meaningful sentence: If everything is irreparable, send someone to inform her grandfather of his old man.
If it was before, Zhu Niang wouldn't have thought much about it. It's just that Zhu Niang, who has been by Li Zhongyi's side for a long time, has become more and more thoughtful.
According to Zhe Saihua's instructions, if Li Zhongyi touched the Yelu bottle, Zhu Niang actually sent someone to inform the ancestor of the Zhe family who was far away in the northwest prefecture that she could already guess what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd.
Prepare for a rebellion! These four words have been hovering in Zhu Niang's mind and lingering for a long time.
Fold the race flower life bamboo lady informed Fold Congruan, in addition to the above four words, its intention is really inexplicable, why do you want to go far and near?
In fact, Zhu Niang really misunderstood Li Zhongyi, even if he was a sperm worm in his brain, it was impossible for him to wantonly come before he mastered the military and political power of the entire Great Zhou.
Women, especially beautiful women, with Li Zhongyi's identity and status, are not, how many are there?
Last time, after almost annihilating the Shan army, there were at least more than 10,000 Khitan, Nuzhi, Xi and Han women captured by the Northern Expeditionary Army, among which there were many girls who were more beautiful than Yelu bottles, but Li Zhongyi did not leave any of them.
The decisive battle with Yelu Hugo is imminent, but Li Zhongyi knows very little about this duke, and it has become a logical thing to pry out some useful things from Yelu's mouth.
Li Zhongyi saw that Yelu had been keeping his mouth closed and refused to speak, so he secretly held back a smile and commanded Li Yunxiao, who had been guarding outside the tent: "Xiaosong, go and invite Senator Han." ”
Zhu Niang saw that after Li Zhongyi's order, she actually walked towards the outside of the tent, and couldn't help but be a little unable to keep up with his rhythm, and seemed a little hesitant.
When Li Zhongyi passed by Zhu Niang's side, he whispered: "Take care of them, don't hurt any of them!" ”
At this point, Zhu Niang had an epiphany, Li Zhongyi wanted her to stay at the scene, sit and watch Han Kuangsi and Yelu Bottle fight, and write down useful things.
Hmph, man, there is no good thing, Zhu Niang looked at Li Zhongyi's back with resentment, and the direction was Caijiao's side!
Yelu was a little dazed at first, but when she woke up, Li Zhongyi was lying on Caijiao's lap, carefully studying the military reports handed by the nearby Senate at any time. (To be continued.) )
