At this moment, Yelu Hugo is leading an army of more than 200,000 people, wandering on the south bank of the Sanggan River, and it is difficult to advance or retreat!

The news of Youzhou's loss has reached Yelu Huge's ears, and he has been patient, as if nothing is right.

However, when Yelusu escaped from Youzhou and crossed the Sanggan River in a small boat, allowing Yeluxiuge to learn the truth about the loss of Youzhou, his face was extremely pale.

Underestimate the enemy, it's too underestimated!

Yelu Xiuge originally thought that the Nanjing Daoxijin Mansion, which was garrisoned by 80,000 people, no matter how bad it was, could at least hold it for a few days, right?

However, the current situation is that the Nanjing Daoxijin Mansion was completely ceded to Li Zhongyi within a few hours.

Uncle is bearable, aunt is unbearable!

I can't bear it, but I have to endure it anymore, after all, the Han warships patrolling the Sanggan River are simply too many to dizzy.

Fighting on land, Yelu Hugo was confident that even if he couldn't survive the Li family's army, he could take the army with all its mustaches and tails.

However, if it was a battle on the water, Jeruhuko had no chance of winning.

If you can't cross the Sanggan River, you can't march to retake Youzhou, this is a reality that fools know.

To put it bluntly, both Li Zhongyi and Yang Lie took advantage of the shortcomings of Yelu Hugo's unaccustomed characteristics of water warfare, and magnified this shortcoming to the extreme.

Outdated military thinking means being passively beaten!

The loss of Youzhou is equivalent to Li Zhongyi slapping Brother Yelu Xiu in the face several times, but the slap made Brother Xiu unable to fight back, which is the most annoying thing.

The Han warships on the Sanggan River unmistakably told the Khitans that if they wanted to cross the river, they had to fill it with human lives.

But the question is, what price can the Khitans afford? 30,000, 50,000, or 100,000?

"Yelu Aman......" Yelu Hugo just called Yelu Aman in front of him, and suddenly his throat was fiercely sweet, "Wow......" A mouthful of purple-black old blood immediately burst out, and the whole spray was sprayed on Yelu Aman's body.

"Regent, Regent......" In the midst of everyone's shouts, Yelu Hugo slowly fell, if it weren't for Yelu's quick hands, I was afraid that he would fall directly to the ground.

Every move of the Khitans was under the control of Li Jiajun's throat, and Li Zhongyi couldn't help but feel a little strange when he learned that Yelu Xiuge led his army to the west along the south of the Sanggan River.

After the loss of Youzhou, the loss of the Khitans was indeed not small, leaving aside the 30,000 people in the traitor team, the Khitans were captured alive as many as nearly 40,000.

However, the total strength of Yelu Hugo exceeded 300,000, which means that he still has at least 200,000 troops on hand, and he should have the strength to fight!

However, Yelu Hugo led the men and horses to the west without saying a word, and Li Zhongyi was always a little puzzled.

Yang Lie advocated catching up and eating the remnants of Yelu Huge, but Li Zhongyi was suspicious and did not agree to him.

After a few days, after more than 200,000 Khitans retreated to Xijing Datong Mansion, the news that Yelu Huge fell ill was late.

Li Zhongyi, who wasted a God-given opportunity, was very faceless, and simply handed over the command of the entire army to Yang Lie.

After Yang Lie took over the command, without saying a word, he immediately ordered that the 130,000 soldiers and horses of Liao Shanhe's department immediately marched along the line of Yizhou and Ulzhou to Datong Mansion.

As for Yang Lie himself, he brought out 40,000 soldiers and horses from Youzhou City, and pushed them all the way along the line of Ruzhou, Fengsheng Prefecture and Hongzhou.

Seven days later, Yang Lie and Liao Shanhe met smoothly in Hongzhou, east of Datong Prefecture, and the front of the army was directed at the Xijing lair of the Khitans.

After Li Zhongyi received the battle report, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, his use of troops was still too cautious, more than steady, and not enough opportunity.

Due to the sudden illness of Yelu Huge, hundreds of thousands of Khitans suddenly fell into a leaderless situation, and everyone was panicked.

Fortunately, the generals in charge of the army of Yelu Hugo were still able to control the leather room army and the palace division army.

The Pi Room Army and the Gong Branch Army are the most elite troops of the Khitans, and they are also the magic weapons used by Yelu Xiuge to suppress the grassland tribe army.

Yelu Aman, Yelu Hengchang and Yelu Su, and several other big and steady people, quarreled fiercely in the conference hall, and finally came to a correct conclusion: At this moment, it is not suitable to start a decisive battle with the southern barbarians, and instead of defending Datong Mansion, it is better to simply return to the grassland.

Once the Khitans decided to retreat north, they were good at long-distance running, and they immediately gave full play to their advantages.

By the time Yang Lie and Liao Shanhe advanced to the city of Datongfu, the Khitans had already walked for two days and one night, and the Khitan Xijing was already an empty city.

After easily recovering Datong Mansion, in addition to sending people to monitor the departure of the Khitans, Yang Lie led the main army to chase the back of the Khitans to Yehu Pass.

Liao Shanhe led 50,000 soldiers and horses south, and regained Yingzhou, Shuozhou and Shenwu Prefecture without bloodshed.

At this point, the areas west of Youzhou and south of the Inner Great Wall all fell into the hands of Li Jiajun.

After Li Zhongyi received the war report, he couldn't help but secretly sigh with emotion, the Khitan State, which has been established for decades, is indeed not to be underestimated!

Although Yelu Hugo fell ill, there were indeed capable people in the Khitan army, who dared to take the initiative to abandon Datong Mansion and other places, and directly retreated to the prairie.

Although the Khitans lost Youzhou, Fanyang, Ulzhou, Shuozhou, Guihuazhou, Fengsheng and Confucianism, they preserved their strength to the greatest extent, which is commonly referred to as the loss of land and people.

Li Zhongyi was not completely ready, so he naturally easily pursued into the prairie, and after Yang Lie stabilized the situation in Datong Mansion, he ordered him to lead the main force to return to Youzhou.

Although the Khitans ran away, the traitors and puppet officials who were attached to the Khitans did not grow scuds. Most of the traitors and puppet officials who dragged their families and mouths fell into the palms of Liao Shanhe, and a small part of them were beaten by Yang Lie.

Li Zhongyi looked at the harvest of the family written in the war report, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Although the population of the western states is not large, they have accumulated a family foundation for decades, and they are thick and ruthless!" ”

Li Haodong, who had just been promoted to the secretary of the military law, was really happy to see Li Zhongyi, so he made fun of it and said: "Relying on the emperor's divine might, the harvest of our army's Northern Expedition this time, even if the imperial court does not send money and food for three years, it will not be in the way." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and said with a smile: "The so-called layman looks at the operation, and the insider looks at the logistics, that's the reason. At present, our army's food supply is completely transported by sea, and even if there are repeated losses from shipwrecks, the cost of transportation is still negligible. The same 5,000 stone of grain is transported by sea and land, and the loss on the way alone occupies an absolute advantage in sea transportation. ”

"The western states were handed over to Liao Shanhe to toss, and Yang Lie was ordered to lead the main army to sweep the eastern part of the Youji Great Plain. At the same time, he ordered the defenders of Yuguan to guard the pass and not let the traitors escape with money. ”

Li Zhongyi had 40,000 elite soldiers and horses in his hands, stationed in Youzhou, just in the center to take over the conquest and suppression work in the east or west.

A month later, Li Zhongyi received a battle report from Yang Lie, and the remaining parts of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun had been taken!

The results of Yang Lie's sweep were amazing, with more than 20 million copper coins alone.

Li Zhongyi originally thought that he had already gained a lot of gains by fighting local tyrants in the eastern part of Youzhou to divide copper coins. Unexpectedly, the rich people in the eastern part of Youzhou were hidden in the countryside, and they were beaten by Yang Lie's closing the door and beating the dogs, and they were arrested.

With a total of more than 60 million copper coins and the harvest of millions of stone grains, can Li Zhongyi not like it?

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance!

However, after Li Zhongyi received the secret report from Kaifeng and Li Yunxiao, his mood immediately became bad.

Without waiting for Yang Lie's class to return, Li Zhongyi ordered Ma Guangda to sit in Youzhou, and he himself led a 1,000-person pro-tooth battalion to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo day and night.

Ma Guangda worked hard to persuade Li Zhongyi to bring more soldiers and horses back, so as not to have an accident on the road, and it would be difficult to deal with it if there were fewer troops.

Out of consideration for the speed of the journey, Li Zhongyi insisted on returning with only 1,000 soldiers and horses. After all, there are too many people and horses to bring, not only is it slow, but it is also easy to expose the target.

The struggle in Kaifeng City is not mainly about the number of soldiers and horses, the core question is, when will the careerists dare to show their hideous fangs?

Since Mrs. Li fell ill, the rumors in Kaifeng City have become tighter and tighter day by day.

All kinds of gossip in the market are flying all over the sky, and the most widely spread news is that Li Zhongyi has been defeated, but the military situation has been temporarily blocked in the middle of the road.

After a bloodied rush suddenly rushed into the ruling palace late at night, the rumor that Li Zhongyi had been defeated and died, as if he had grown legs, had spread throughout Kaifeng City in the blink of an eye.

Since Li Dahe became seriously ill, Shi Shouxin hadn't seen Li Zhonghao for a few days, and he muttered secretly in his heart, if Li Zhonghao was here, he could guess what happened to the truth of Lao Li's family, right?

To tell the truth, Shi Shouxin secretly played a very big game of chess, and the core point of this game is: Li Zhongyi was defeated by the Khitans!

As long as the news of Li Zhongyi's defeat is confirmed, Shi Shouxin is sure to persuade his old brothers to gather together to overthrow Li Zhongyi's tyranny.

The military generals of this era, even if they no longer have military power, have more or less some domestic servants who are good at martial arts.

These nominal domestic servants were actually the pro-tooth battalion that protected the safety of the generals back then, and the generals were reluctant to break them up, so they raised them in the mansion in the name of domestic servants.

In order to hide people's eyes, most of Shi Shouxin's relatives stayed in the farmhouses outside the city, and there were only more than 100 people in the city at best.

I think that at the beginning, Sima Yi launched the Gao Pingling Rebellion, and the main force he used was actually the diners and slaves under his door.

After Shi Shouxin was cut at home, he was so idle that he was about to get hairy, and he had read a lot of history books. Therefore, he wanted to borrow the precedent of the Gao Pingling Incident, take the initiative to contact a large number of old brothers and generals who were dissatisfied with Li Zhongyi, and simply do an earth-shattering event.
