However, according to Li Zhongyi's guess, time is his worst enemy if Yelu Hugo wants to complete this incredible military adventure.

Puzhou, located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, is unusually densely populated. Even if Jeruxiu kills all the people he meets along the way, there will still be a handful of fish that have slipped through the net and will escape to report the news.

In addition, Li Zhongyi is essentially a very life-saving guy, and since he led the troops, he has always attached great importance to the advance warning of the former enemy.

The Divine Guard Army and the Guangrui Army are also the elite forbidden troops of the Great Zhou, not to mention the strength of the feet of rapid mobile combat, as long as they set up a formation, or set up a solid camp, it will be difficult for Yelu Hugo to completely eat them in a short period of time.

Brother Yelu Hugh needs time, Li Zhongyi also needs time, fortunately, Li Zhongyi is a cautious guy who cherishes his life and is cautious, and his personality of predicting defeat before winning has helped him save a lot of time.

The reason is actually very simple, it is impossible for Yelu Hugo to kill all the people in the villages along the way!

Therefore, the most correct tactic of Jeruxiu should be to walk day and night. In this way, the mobility of the Khitan elite iron horse is bound to be greatly discounted.

After almost completely annihilating the Shanshan army last time, Li Zhongyi had a very important piece of information: most of the elite cavalry units of the Khitans did not suffer from night blindness, including the leather room army and the subordinate Shan army.

This time, Li Zhongyi led the soldiers and horses to the north, except for the Yulin Right Guard and the Dangxiang Cavalry Training, the Guangyong Army, the Shenwei Army and the Guangrui Army could only hold torches and rush at night.

After the comparison between the two. The night battle advantage of Li Zhongyi's troops was immediately dissolved. The pressure is so high, you can imagine it!

Of course. Li Zhongyi also knew very well in his heart that it would be impossible for Yelu Hugo to lead too many soldiers and horses when he went south this time.

20,000, or even 10,000 soldiers and horses, is already the upper limit of Yelu Hugo's whereabouts not being exposed!

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart, because the right guard of Yulin carried several very powerful killer-level weapons, even if he was besieged by the Khitans who were several times larger, it was enough to protect himself.

However, the power of the Guangyong Army is not strong. The oil bottle with weak combat effectiveness by his side has brought Li Zhongyi a lot of fatal new problems.

There are three gangs of a hero, and even if the right guard of Yulin is strong in combat, it needs to help clean up the battlefield and guard the helpers of prisoners of war, right?

In addition, at this time when the Lord is suspicious, one more friendly army will support each other, and there will be more strength!

Therefore, the military order for the Divine Guard Army and the Guangrui Army to strengthen their vigilance. After the news was spread, Li Zhongyi immediately arranged dozens of henchmen to go to the camp of the Guangyong Army. Oversee them in setting up a high standard of camp.

If you do everything, you will definitely be tired to death like Zhuge Liang.

Li Zhongyi returned to the big tent of the Chinese army. So he found quite Chaoyong, held the tea cup and asked him, "How is everyone's morale?" ”

Quite a brave grin. He smiled bitterly: "Although the money and food are distributed monthly, it has never been short. However, the sons and daughters really want to follow you into battle to kill the enemy. ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, this is quite super brave, although he is from a party barbarian, he is also in the capital, and he has become an old oilman.

Although quite Chaoyong said it very implicitly, Li Zhongyi could understand the connotation, and the translation was: In the capital, just with a few dead military salaries, the brothers have a lot less opportunities to make a fortune, and their purses are not warm!

The warriors of the party clan have never had such a thing as military salaries, and when they fought with their families and tribes in the past, if they wanted extra income, they had to rely on grabbing.

This is also the party version of the Khitans' so-called "grass valley".

Quite Chaoyong took his clansmen and followed Li Zhongyi to the east and west, although the things he robbed had to be handed over to the public, and then distributed by Li Zhongyi according to the actual needs of each department.

However, this war windfall is by no means comparable to a few military salaries, which is enough to enable Quite Chaoyong and his people to live a prosperous life.

Most of the wealthy households among the party cavalry had their own land in Kaifeng City, and rented it to tenants for cultivation at the ratio of one out of ten.

As for the dwellings in the city, they were mainly used for self-occupation, and the surplus real estate was divided into small rooms and rented to merchants from other places to live in or used as warehouses.

The party clan, in addition to being desperate and robbing, most of them have no business acumen, and this kind of shrewd accounting is actually due to Li Zhongyi's arrangement.

Those who have constant production have perseverance!

If it is impossible to smoothly integrate into the Central Plains in terms of economy, it will be difficult for the party members to really work hard under Li Zhongyi's hands!

Of course, Li Zhongyi's arrangement for party members to buy property inside and outside the capital also means taking precautions.

In case, Li Zhongyi loses power one day, who will protect the property of these party aliens?

With Li Zhongyi's insight, he naturally knows very well that if you want to truly form a group that breathes the same breath and shares the same fate, the transmission and protection of interests is the most reliable link.

Now, even if he is quite brave and brave enough to incite the party Xiang cavalry to teach and rebel against Li Zhongyi, I am afraid that as soon as the news comes out, his head has been cut off by smart people of the same clan and presented to Li Zhongyi as a gift to invite merit.

What's more, Li Zhongyi had foresight to implement a strict two-chief system in all the units under his command, so that no general would enjoy the real power to cover the sky with one hand.

In the past, because Li Zhongyi was okay in the chief's circle, he had a wide range of people, and he was accompanied by clever medical skills, and the friends who asked him for help or borrowed money were not old or young!

However, the so-called brotherly relationship cannot stand the test of money or power at all. Most of the money that Li Zhongyi lent out was meat buns that beat Wang Xingren, and there was no return!

It hurt the money, and it hurt the heart even more, and after that, if a friend asked Li Zhongyi to borrow money, more than 5,000, he found a reason to push it away.

Nowadays, in the face of the supreme imperial power, even father and son have to kill each other, not to mention the so-called "friends" who are not related by blood?

With his previous experience, Li Zhongyi has become very "mature", at the cost of fewer and fewer brothers who can really be "friends"!

"This time, we are facing the most elite leather room army of the Khitan people, and your responsibility cannot be small!" Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that in the face of Yelu Huge's attack, it would not work by relying on the infantry army alone.

The combat power of Yulin's right guard, even if it is more than twice as strong, even if it successfully defeats the leather room army, it will be difficult to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand too many results.

In fact, the problem faced by Li Zhongyi has always been the strategic dilemma of the two Song Dynasty courts to deal with the invasion of the Jin Kingdom in the north and the Mongols in the south.

However, Li Zhongyi has more than a thousand years of knowledge than the "Zhao family", so he naturally has a way to deal with this big strategic problem.

After taking Lingzhou, the party members who also grew up on horseback and were tamed by Li Zhongyi actually provided a steady stream of strategic assault forces.

The positional foot battle was all taken over by the Han family's children. As for the pursuit battle, it will be handed over to the party members for the time being!

Rather than being afraid, instead of rubbing his hands, he said excitedly: "Master, don't you want to use it at this time when you raise soldiers for a thousand days?" The small one takes the head of the item and promises that even if you fight it out, you will complete your military life. ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, quite Chaoyong was able to live to this day after offending the party patriarch Tuoba Yi Yin, and he did have a lot of great wisdom.

Po Chaoyong noticed Li Zhongyi's laugh lines, and couldn't help leaning over, salivating and saying, "Master, the little one has a non-dividing idea, I don't know if to talk about it or not?" ”

Li Zhongyi noticed that quite Chaoyong learned Li Yunxiao's tone, abandoned the previous title of handsome, Xianggong, and handsome, and called the master directly.

Those who dare to call Li Zhongyi the master are actually the old men who have followed him for many years, and the henchmen among their henchmen.

Quite Chaoyong climbed up the pole, and his purpose of wanting to completely integrate into the small group around Li Zhongyi was clearly revealed!

Although it is said that the hearts of those who are not of my race are different. However, Li Zhongyi, who is familiar with history, also understands in his heart that many important generals in the Tang Dynasty are of different races, and the more famous ones are: Gao Xianzhi (Goryeo), Li Guangbi (Khitan), and A Fall Guangjin (Turkic).

As the first ethnic group conquered by Li Zhongyi, most of them lived in the actual control area of the Lingzhou Army.

After the class transformation of fighting local tyrants and dividing pastures, which seriously weakened the remnants of the elders and patriarchs, in fact, the cavalry of the Dangxiang clan after reorganization can already be regarded as a relatively reliable mobile combat force at hand by Li Zhongyi.

Fighting local tyrants and dividing pastures, in essence, is Li Zhongyi's redistribution of the property of the Dangxiang clan, coercing the middle- and lower-class people in the entire Dangxiang clan from the root, and he must follow him all the way to the black!

If Li Zhong is easily defeated, the lower-level people of the party who have already tasted the sweetness will definitely face the huge risk of being snatched away again.

In particular, the cavalry generals who were promoted, without exception, had the blood of the elders and patriarchs on their hands.

Quite Chaoyong may be for performance, but more likely to show loyalty to Li Zhongyi, he slaughtered one of Tuoba Yiyin's cousins with his own hands in front of everyone.

Blood debts must be paid in blood, and this is a deep-rooted custom of the party members. Quite Chaoyong, who was stained with the blood of nobles on his hands, could no longer turn back, so he could only follow Li Zhongyi closely and fight the world for him.

Li Zhongyi took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes, stared at quite Chaoyong, and asked him with a smile: "Do you know, where is Brother Yelu Hugh now?" What's his plan? ”

In addition to beliefs, bloodlines and customs, he has no essential difference from the Khitans, and his thinking mode is similar.

Li Zhongyi asked this question quite bravely, in addition to the meaning of comparison, there is also the idea that the stone of the mountain can attack the jade.

Po Chaoyong thought for a while, and whispered: "Master, to put it mildly, if the villain is Yelu Huge, he will definitely give priority to winning the Daimyo's Mansion." If you want to take the Daimyo's Mansion, you must first be in the field and solve the right guard of the Yulin Forest. ”

Li Zhongyi knew that Po Chaoyong hadn't finished speaking, so he kept looking at him with a smile and encouraging him to speak freely. (To be continued.) )
