Li Zhongyi has been waiting for Yelu Xiu Ge to appear, but unfortunately, Li Yong has chased and killed for dozens of kilometers, but Ye Lu Xiu Ge has never been seen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yong faithfully implemented Li Zhongyi's decision, and for the weak Murowei deserters, he mainly used intimidation, supplemented by pursuit and killing.

As for the most powerful Xi people on the Tokyo Road, Li Yong has been biting tightly, and all those who fall behind are slaughtered, and there will be no mercy.

Like the Xi people, the Dangxiang clan, who was originally a member of the grassland nation, adhered to the inherent logic of killing people and establishing authority, and killed the completely defeated Xi people to cry their fathers and mothers, and fled in all directions, and no longer had the majestic spirit of going south to fight the grass valley.

When Li Zhongyi arranged the combat mission, he carefully explained to Li Yong that he must hoe the strong and help the weak, and he must not be soft on the powerful ridiculers.

Li Yong got the sword of Shang Fang, and unceremoniously chased all the way over, like a maggot attached to the bone, killing Xi Ren to the point of fart and urine, and blood flowed into a spring.

Li Zhongyi waited for Yelu Xiu Ge for a long time, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "Our army is mainly foot soldiers, if we launch a formation to pursue the whole line, it will inevitably be impossible to rearrange the formation in time and effectively, hehe, this gives Yelu Xiuge's high-speed cavalry assault an excellent opportunity." ”

He Dabei said with a smile: "Brother Yelu Xiu is waiting for us to attack on all fronts, and then he will cover up from behind, and then swallow our army in one bite." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and said, "Let's just stay here, stay forever, no matter what Brother Yelu Xiu thinks, don't dare to act rashly." His eyes casually swept over the unusually dense herd of horses not far away.

In this northern expedition, Li Zhongyi's biggest harvest was actually the capture of tens of thousands of excellent Mongolian horses.

The war horse on the Mongolian plateau, also known as the ancient three hippos, was later known as the Mongolian horse. Although not as tall as the Loop, and less capable of sprinting on short distances, it is better to be rough-fed and have a long-lasting endurance.

After Li Zhongyi defeated the Tuoba family, he actually had the source of the Hetao horse at hand, and the war horse was no longer particularly lacking.

However, the disadvantages of the Hetao horse, in addition to being intolerant to heat and being highly dependent on the climate, are simply not possible to breed in the south.

In essence, horses that could not be raised in groups could not be adapted to the actual needs of large-scale cavalry operations.

The main difference between the horses raised in groups on the grassland and the horses raised by Han farmers is that there is no "head horse". The horses on the grassland are accustomed to group activities, and they don't look ahead when they run, they only look down at the buttocks of the head horse, and even if it is a cliff, they will run down with the head horse, and the single horse does not have such a habit, so the cavalry fights on a large scale, and only the horse growing on the grassland is suitable.

In the future, when Li Zhongyi went all out on the Northern Expedition, whether it was the Northern Front battlefield or the Western Front battlefield, cavalry troops would be needed as a mobile assault force.

Historically, the founding of the Western Xia led to the Northern Song Dynasty losing the source of war horses, which led to the Northern Song Dynasty losing its strategic offensive capability.

The sixteen states of Yanyun were offered to the Khitans by Shi Jingjiao, which caused the Northern Song Dynasty to have no natural barrier in terms of strategic defense.

The inability to attack and the inability to defend the retreat were the disadvantages of the two-front heavy defense, coupled with the excessive national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, which led to the premature demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Now, the entire Dangxiang clan has prostrate at the feet of Li Zhongyi, and the Hetao Racecourse is also in the hands of Guo Huai, Zhe and Yang, which means that Li Jiajun has strategic offensive capabilities from now on.

"Youzhou ......" Li Zhongyi turned his head to look in the direction of the imperial capital of later generations, and exhaled slightly, alas, the strength he has mastered is still not enough.

"Marshal, Yang Baixing sent someone to report that the sentinels on his side have searched a radius of more than fifty miles, and have not found the main force of Yelu Huge." He Dabei handed the military report in his hand to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi took the emergency military report with chicken feathers, read it carefully twice, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly ordered: "Right Pavilion, send someone to inform Li Yong, and order him to accept it when he sees it!" ”

He Dabei asked Li Zhongyi puzzled: "Dashuai, are you worried about the sneak attack of Brother Yelu Xiu's middle way?" ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and said: "Although I have left the Guards and the Second Army on my side, and I also have war horses to spare, if Li Yong chases him too far, it will be difficult for my main army to rush over to rescue for a while, and his side will be easily cut off by Brother Yeluxiu." ”

He Dabei hesitated a little, hesitated for a moment, sighed heavily, and immediately called the herald and ordered the trumpet to withdraw.

The main cavalry force of the Li Jiajun was scattered, and even if the cavalry charged, the combat effectiveness of the infantry soldiers who mainly engaged in infantry combat would still have to be greatly reduced.

After Li Yong received the order to retreat, he aimed at the direction of Xiren's rout, spat out heavily, and indignantly ordered to blow the trumpet to gather the troops.

Despite his reluctance, Li Yong had absolutely no courage to disobey Li Zhongyi's orders, and the sensitive status of the party nobles made him have to be careful and careful.

Li Yong had already heard of the Great Han Ideology vigorously propagated by Li Zhongyi in the barracks, and he was awe-inspiring in his heart. It's just that Li Zhongyi not only did not look down on Li Yong, a party barbarian, because of his foreign identity, but also kept promoting and reusing him, which made Li Yong see hope for the future.

From Li Yong's standpoint, the big clan on the grassland eats the small clan, that is simply a matter of course, there is nothing to say!

The key is that Li Zhongyi not only conquered the party clan, but also made waves in the powerful Khitan country, and no one could control it.

The reality that the party clan was completely trampled under Li Zhongyi is equivalent to directly removing Li Yong's rebellious foundation, which is also the basis for Li Zhongyi to dare to reuse Li Yong.

After the signal of convergence was issued, the large troops of the cavalry battalion, which was happily pursuing, took the lead in making a positive response and moved closer to Li Yong's side in time.

The cavalry battalion gradually retracted, and although Brother Yelu still did not show up, Li Zhongyi already had a bottom in his heart: Brother Yelu is afraid that it is unlikely to come!

"Pass the order, and the whole team will march east!" According to the original plan, Li Zhongyi planned to oppress the Xi people and other grassland peoples until they were under the city of Yuguan, and then find an opportunity to annihilate them.

It's a pity that as soon as the Li Jiajun finished forming the team, Yang Lie sent someone to report that the envoy of Yelu Hugo had arrived at the front line, accompanied by the envoy of the imperial court.

The envoy of the imperial court actually came together with the envoy of Yelu Huge, and after Li Zhongyi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh on his back, with a lonely look on his face.

At this moment, Li Zhongyi deeply realized the helplessness and anger of Yue Fei when he was forced to give up the Northern Expedition.

"Township handsome......" Yang Wushuang glared at Li Zhongyi angrily, his right hand subconsciously clenched his fist, but he helplessly let go. (To be continued.) )
