Li Zhongyi actually didn't care too much about the capture of Yuguan, what he needed most was: to transfer the tiger away from the mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At present, the elite heavy army group of the Khitans is roughly divided into three parts: Yelu Huge's southbound group, Youzhou's Nanjing Dao group, and the main group of the leather room army that follows the Khitan sleeping emperor.

Yelu Hugo is far away in the Central Plains, and in a short time, he will definitely not be able to come and put it aside.

The main force of the leather room army is following the sleeping emperor to carry out the spring bowl activity, and the location is far away in Shangjing Road, which can be said to be far away from water to quench the thirst of the near.

Then, the Khitan garrison stationed in Youzhou is only a few hundred miles away from Yuguan, and they are obviously the target that Li Zhongyi needs to hit the most.

However, although Yuguan is important, it is far less strategic than Youzhou.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Khitans, who have lost Youzhou and the Han people in their territory, will definitely lie down first in the long-term confrontation with the Great Zhou Empire.

As long as the Great Zhou takes back the sixteen states of Yanyun, he can rely on the ancient Great Wall to guard the northern border according to the border wall, and ensure that the rich lands of Hebei and Henan will not be lost.

The weather in the north is cold, and the livestock are very easy to freeze to death in a large area, and there is nothing to eat, so the Khitans can only wait to starve to death except for going south to fight grass valleys.

After the Khitans got Youzhou, they just solved the problem of food for the winter, so that their strength would not be greatly lost.

Not only that, the long-term peaceful development has made the iron-smelting technology mastered by the Han people in Youzhou far better than that of the Central Plains, which has been divided since the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Zhongyi did not intend to go to Youzhou, where heavy troops were gathered, but to provoke the Khitans and force them to lose their minds through the arrogant behavior of the anti-Grass Valley, so as to achieve the campaign goal of luring the snake out of the hole.

Now, having captured so many prisoners, Li Zhongyi needs to find the most valuable information from his confession to achieve the goal of precision strikes.

Song Yunxiang was very clear about Li Zhongyi's battle concept, so in terms of capture and capture, he tried to make a long story short and let Li Zhongyi know that there was such a thing, and it was enough.

"Master, according to the results of the interrogation, the little ones who feel that they have the ability to mobilize the Khitan people in Youzhou are mainly the biological father of the Khitan Empress Xiao - Xiao Tianying, the king of Xi, and Yelu Huashan, the eldest son of the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard." Li Yunxiao then reported on the results of the interrogation, and the results were very remarkable.

Li Zhongyi touched his chin, thought about it carefully, and handed over the problem according to the usual practice, so that everyone could discuss it together.

Liu Heyang took the lead in expressing his stance and said: "I think that if you can't concentrate your forces and capture these two people at the same time, it is better to directly target the eldest son of the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard." ”

Liao Shanhe waved his hand and said: "Lao Liu, we have dealt with the Khitans not once or twice, these barbarians have always been wealthy, and they are not affectionate. ”

Li Zhongyi looked at Liu Heyang and Liao Shanhe with interest, both of them came from the most elite forbidden army in the imperial court, the holy army in front of the palace.

However, I don't know why, Liu and Liao often have different opinions, and they compete with each other, they are really a pair of happy enemies.

Ma Guangda, who had not spoken, saw Li Zhongyi looking at him, so he arched his hand and said: "Xiangshuai, I think Yelu Huashan is more suitable, after all, his father is the king of the Southern Courtyard who holds the military power of Youzhou and the guard of Nanjing." As the saying goes, the whip is beyond reach, thinking that Queen Xiao's biological father is the king of Xi, and the strength around him must not be too bad. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and smiled, clearly encouraging Ma Guangda, make persistent efforts, and continue to give wonderful analysis.

Unlike Liao Shanhe and Liu Heyang, Ma Guangda came from the Tiger Wing Army under the command of the Guards and Pro-Army Division, and had always been Zhao Kuangyin's old subordinate before.

This Ma Guangda's personality is very open-minded and generous, and he has a very high degree of integrity in speaking and doing things. On weekdays, his popularity in the army is very good.

If you insist on evaluating Ma Guangda's style of doing things, Li Zhongyi will think of Zhao Kuangyin for the first time, the styles of these two people are very similar.

In line with the basic principle that suspects should be used, their strengths should be used, and the appointment of people must be checked and balanced, the important generals, including Yang Lie, only have the right to command military and the right to make personnel suggestions.

The power to appoint and dismiss officers, especially the middle and high-ranking generals above the battalion command level, is all in Li Zhongyi's hands, and the specific power of supervision and inspection is carried out by the various military commanders.

Therefore, even if Ma Guangda is Zhao Kuangyin's sand that was secretly mixed into Li Jiajun, Li Zhongyi is not worried about how big a wave he can make.

Li Zhongyi carefully pondered Ma Guangda's opinion, turned his head to look at Song Yunxiang, Song Yunxiang understood, and said: "The new army that has been trained since Hebei, after months of rigorous training, is definitely not ready to go out to fight, as for defending the city, it is a good opportunity to exercise." ”

Liao Shanhe slapped his head and shouted in a rough voice: "Alas, how did I forget such a big thing, I really deserve to be beaten." Xiang Shuai, I now advocate, fish and bear paws, swallow in one bite. ”

Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, Yelu Xiuge commanded the army south, which must have brought a huge military threat to Da Zhou.

However, there are two sides to affairs, and while Li Zhongyi led his troops to meet the battle, he also had the foundation for cultivating Li Jiajun.

In the people of Hebei, due to the threat of the Khitan people going south to fight the grass valley, brave men who are good at horseback riding, archery, spear and knife play abound.

Since defeating the Khitans in a row, Li Zhongyi took the pretext of recruiting auxiliaries to select more than 5,000 strong men from among the more than 100,000 captured Han Chinese and replenished them into the new barracks.

Limited to the suspicion of the imperial court, Li Zhongyi's principle of army building has always been expensive and not expensive. However, Li Zhongyi will return to Kaifeng sooner or later, the largest and most dangerous power field in this Great Zhou.

Not to mention the fact that the yellow robe is so far away, at least, Li Zhongyi currently hopes that he can grasp the real military and political power of the Great Zhou Empire.

The eldest husband can't be without power for a day, no matter whether Li Zhongyi wants to refresh politics in the future, reform the military system, or save the lives of his family, the power position without the support of a gun is all his mother's nonsense.

Now that the new army has just formed, with the current strength of the Li family's army, as long as the number of soldiers reaches 10,000, it will dare to compete with any tribal army on the grassland.

I think that at the beginning, Huo Qubing led the Han army into the hinterland of the Huns, most of the time, in fact, there were only 10,000 or 20,000 elites.

When the Yulin Right Guard was first formed, it was basically based on the southern Han warriors, and the Hebei people who could shoot with bows accounted for only a small part, almost negligible.

Now it is different, Li Zhongyi's official military position is the general manager of the Hebei Provincial March, and it can be described as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone by recruiting a group of Hebei people with good basic qualities and having mortal enemies with the Khitans.

"Master, why don't we go and see the new army together?" Liu Heyang was a little itchy and unbearable, and planned to follow Li Zhongyi to explore the truth and reality.

If the quality of the new army is really excellent, Liu Heyang doesn't mind at all, and privately asks Li Zhongyi to open a back door and grab some good seedlings to go back.

The style of an army is very close to the habits of its founder.

Li Zhongyi from a humble place, through his own continuous efforts, finally stood proudly above the Great Zhou Dynasty, relying on the spirit of fighting and grabbing.

The culture of "robbing" is extremely common in the Li family's army.

grain and grass, grab; Ordnance, robbery; Capture, robbery. As for the opportunity to kill the enemy, it was even more robbed by everyone!

Li Jiajun's promotion logic is extremely clear, the more he kills the enemy and makes meritorious contributions, the greater the chance of promotion and glory to his ancestors.

There are two main methods that Li Zhongyi used to unite the morale of the army and boost morale: one was to drive out the nationalist banner of the Khitan, and the other was to reward merit and punish the fair.

Military law is ruthless, and it treats everyone equally, even the butt of the handsome protégé Zuo Ziguang has been opened, how many heads do others have, dare to test military law?

"Master, you can't favor one over the other, my old Liao's camp has suffered heavy losses." Liao Shanhe called himself poor as if he was crying, but he amused everyone, this guy looks like a rough man, and he is smarter than anyone else in his bones.

Li Zhongyi once commented on Liao Shanhe alone in private, and this person can be described as a great monk next to him. seems to be honest, and there is great wisdom hidden in it, if anyone despises him, he will definitely suffer.

Ma Guangda interjected: "What are you arguing about? Whose credit is great, whose loss is great, who is short of people, who is not short of people, how can our handsome not know? ”

Li Zhongyi glanced at Ma Guangda, this kid looked impartial, in fact, he was reminding Li Zhongyi in disguise that his second army was the one with the worst losses, and more new soldiers must be replenished.

"The teacher can't be partial, my military justice department is almost no longer supervised by the enforcement of military law."

Zuo Ziguang, whose buttocks were opened, was carried into the door of the second hall with a door panel, and the person did not arrive, and the sound came first, which can be said to be the true transmission of the samadhi of the "grabbing" culture.

Yang Lie followed closely behind, followed up with Ertang, he walked quickly in front of Li Zhongyi, and arched his hand and said, "Teacher, as long as there are 1,000 crossbowmen in the student camp, there will be a qualitative leap in combat effectiveness." ”

"I said Yang Baixing, you are ruthless enough, you need a thousand crossbowmen for one mouth, and there are less than three hundred palace crossbowmen in my camp so far." Liao Shanhe has always been the master who can't afford to lose, how could he let Yang Lie get his hands on it so easily?

Li Zhongyi ignored Yang Lie, a disguised dignitary, and Liao Shanhe, who was messing around, and just said lightly: "You are all leaving, who will protect the safety of me, the commander?" ”

Zuo Ziguang, who was lying on the door panel, grinned, he had long expected that as long as everyone stepped forward to fight, it would definitely be a chicken-and-egg fight.

The Judge Advocate General's Department has few personnel, and its requirements for quantity are very different from those of front-line combat units.

The reason why Zuo Ziguang dragged the bloody rotten ass and wanted to mix it in was just to include all the dozen or so good seedlings he had fancied in advance.

Li Jiajun used to be stationed near Kaifeng, so Li Zhongyi naturally did not want to rashly expand the size of his Chinese army, so as not to give people a handle.

Now, handsome is outside, and the king's order is not granted, he has given Li Zhongyi a chance.

Li Zhongyi stood up, put his hands behind his back and said, "I will leave three thousand guards, how to distribute the rest, wait for us to go to the new barracks, and then make a final decision." ”

Hearing that they were going to see the recruits, everyone was gearing up one by one, extremely excited, and everyone followed behind Li Zhongyi with a smile and went straight to the recruits' camp. (To be continued.) )
