Chapter 617: Retreat to Datong (II)

Yelu Zongzhen's words made Xiao Hui not know what to say for a while, he knew from a glance in the army that the Great Song Mo swordsman was a fierce warrior in a hundred, and the armor on his body was not worse than that of the heavily armored cavalry, and what was even more amazing was the Mo knife in their hands.

When advancing, it is like a mountain into the wall, and when slashing, the blood flows and drifts, and the blade of a zhang long Mo knife alone is enough to be three feet long, and even the horse's head can be cut off when it is chopped down, which is not the so-called exaggeration of the horse sword, but can really cut off the horse's head!

To be honest, even Xiao Hui himself was envious, but he could only think about it, the cost of such a configuration was quite amazing, and Da Liao couldn't afford to buy the equipment of the Mo Swordsman even when he was in the Holy Sect.

Seeing that Xiao Hui didn't speak, how could Yelu Zong really not know what he meant, and said with a slightly wry smile: "My Da Liao's money bag is really not comparable to the Great Song Dynasty, have you seen the Great Song Emperor Tianzi Sword?" He Zhao Zhen actually said to me that I want as much as I want in Da Liao, as long as the money is enough, listening to his tone, such a sword is not considered superior! A lot can be produced in those so-called factories! ”

Xiao Hui was taken aback, if this was really the case, it would be too scary...... "The Great Song Emperor wouldn't be deliberately exaggerating his rhetoric, right?" The old minister looks at the sword of the Son of Heaven is not a mortal thing......"

Yelu Zongzhen waved his hand and said: "What the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty said should be true, Zhang Jian's secret report before said that the factory output of the Great Song Dynasty is amazing, and the skills are even more outstanding, smelting, forging, are all above my Da Liao, and you can also use the power of water to beat weapons with waterwheels, and it is not a difficult move to make steel." ”

Xiao Hui was taken aback: "If you say so, the strength of the Great Song Dynasty is far above my Great Liao!" ”

Yelu Zong really smiled bitterly: "I also saw the doorway before withdrawing the army, in fact, it is not a withdrawal of the army, but the army has moved from Nanjing Road in Xijin Mansion to Datong Mansion......

The emperor wants to save face, and Xiao Hui, as a courtier, will naturally not break it.

"What Your Majesty said is that it is no longer a day or two for the Great Song Dynasty to watch the entire Yanyun, since there must be a momentum of westward expansion after taking Xijin Mansion, my Great Liao defenders only need to wait for work in the city, and let the Song people taste the pain of attacking the city!"

Yelu Zong really smiled: "He, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, plans to trick me into going back to Juyong Pass, how can I be fooled by him, once my army returns to the dynasty, isn't it a self-defeating face in front of the people of the world?" Besides, my army has returned to the dynasty, isn't Datong Mansion in his Zhao Zhen's bag?! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"What about Zhang Jian? Let him come, I want him to think of a good way, he is not as good as my Liao people to kill him on the battlefield, but in terms of wisdom alone, he is still the most outstanding. Xiao Hui remembers, Zhang Jian will be shelved in the future! ”

The emperor's words were obviously inconsistent, and Xiao Hui was unclear for a while: "The minister is stupid, I don't know what Your Majesty said about this?" ”

Yelu Zongzhen sighed: "My Da Liao should have the appearance of my Da Liao, what does my Da Liao rely on to open the country's business?" It's not lip service, it's not the Han people's set of etiquette and laws, and it's not the one in the book!

Da Liao relied on the fight of real swords and guns, and it was blood that forged my Da Liao! This is completely different from the Han Chinese! Therefore, a Wenchen like Zhang Jian can be used, but don't rely too much, I know that you have a good relationship with him, you have to take a good look at him, don't let him kill himself! ”

The back of Xiao Hui's neck suddenly became cold, and he couldn't help but shudder and said, "The old minister obeys the order!" "He didn't expect His Majesty to not plan to use Zhang Jian, from the beginning to the present, Zhang Jian's resourcefulness and judgment are far above others!

Seeing his appearance, Yelu Zong smiled and said: "Of course, it should be used, and it should be used, and he will be rewarded with a lot of officials, after all, I can't do without him." ”

Xiao Hui nodded silently, His Majesty is right, Zhang Jian is his friend, of course he understands Zhang Jian's character, and the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil is a habit that he can't change no matter what, and he is the only one in the army who knows how happy Zhang Jian was when he was removed from the battlefield.

Yelu Zongzhen fought on horseback, and this defeat was quite acceptable for Yelu Zongzhen, at least it did not lose as many soldiers as in the first battle of Western Xia, it was a big rout......

Now he still has an army of more than 100,000 in his hands, and Datong Mansion, a place that can be supplied, he can continue to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, if he fails this time, the entire Yanyun will become the bag of the Great Song Dynasty, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

After that conversation with Zhao Zhen, Yelu Zongzhen suddenly discovered that the current Yanyun was no longer the frontier position and springboard for the Liao Dynasty to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

Looking back at the soldiers under his command, and then thinking about the Great Song army just now, a huge gap appeared in Yelu Zongzhen's heart, not only the gap in equipment, but also the gap in the momentum of the soldiers.

This is an indescribable thing, the original Song people always lacked something to fight with the Liao people on the battlefield, whether it was bloody or persevering, these Great Song soldiers were lacking, but after the battle of Xijin Mansion, Yelu Zongzhen saw that the Great Song army was completely different from the original, and even better than the army of Great Liao!

This feeling is not only true to Yelu Zong, Xiao Hui also obviously felt it, as a general, he has the most sensitive sense of the changes in the Great Song army, so when Yelu Zongzhen asked him a question, he nodded affirmatively.

"Your Majesty, the momentum of the soldiers on the battlefield is very important, my Great Liao army has been experienced in a hundred battles, but in front of the Great Song army, it is not a single advantage, probably because the training method of the Great Song Dynasty is different from the original, and they believe that the blades in their hands and the armor on their bodies are far above my Great Liao, and with confidence, the mentality of the soldiers is naturally different."

Not far away is the Xijing of Daliao, Datong Mansion. Xijing Datong is vast for 20 miles, there is Xijing Tongwen Palace, set up the left-behind ya, the north gate is the Datong Mansion in the east, the west is the Datong post, it can be said that here is the smallest one in the four capitals of the Liao Dynasty.

Compared with the bustling Xijin Mansion, Datong Mansion is a little deserted, but the feature here is military defense!

Datong was called Yunzhong and Pingcheng in ancient times, it was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, located in the center of the Datong Basin in the north of Shanxi, the junction of the three provinces and regions of Shanxi, Hebei and Mongolia, and the northeast edge of the Loess Plateau.

When Yelu Zongzhen stepped into Datong Mansion, he was uncomfortable, and the eyes of the Han people here revealed an indescribable look, which couldn't help but remind him of the siege in the history of Daliao......

In the third year of Qingtai, he was still a rebel general, and Shi Jingjiao, the great Khitan lord Yelu Deguang, was his father, and he borrowed the Khitan soldiers to destroy the Tang Dynasty, called the emperor, and the country was called Jin. With the help of the Khitan, the sixteen states of Yanyun were ceded to the Khitan.

But at that time, not everyone bought the account of this emperor, and Wu Luan, the judge of the lawsuit in the clouds, "closed the door and was not subject to the Khitan order", repaired the equipment, guarded the city day and night, and persisted for half a year, but in the end, Wu Luan had no choice but to ask for help Shi Jingjiao, but the Jin lord called Wu Luan to return to the south, Yunzhou fell, and the Great Liao slaughtered the city for three days......
