The so-called people have the intention of hurting the tiger, and the tiger has the ability to eat people's hearts!

Whether it is Li Zhongyi or Yelu Huge, they all know very clearly: there must be a battle!

The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Li Zhongyi and Yelu Hugo are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and it is impossible for them to be willing to succumb to others.

Yelu Xiuge originally thought that after Li Zhongyi took Kaifeng and mastered the world politics of the Great Zhou, he needed to rest for at least three years before he had the strength to go on the Northern Expedition.

Unexpectedly, less than a year after Li Zhongyi entered Kaifeng, he launched the Northern Expedition, which happened to catch Yelu Huge off guard.

When Li Zhongyi was still in Pinglu, Yelu Xiuge was not idle, and basically put down the rebellion in the country.

However, just when Yelu Hugo planned to gather troops in Youzhou and completely clean up King Xi's Lao Guning, Li Zhongyi, an old enemy, came.

Although the news sent back by Xizuo is full of errors and omissions, Yelu is indeed in a dilemma, if he concentrates his troops to reinforce Jinyang, who will defend Youzhou?

If, with all his might, he protects Youzhou and continues to launch a final attack on King Xi Lao Guning, Liu Jun of Jinyang may not be able to resist Li Zhongyi's ferocious offensive.

is different from Yelu Huge's entanglement, Li Zhongyi regarded Youzhou as the main purpose early on, and taking down Jinyang was just a grass to beat rabbits, and the benefits of fishing by the way.

Unlike in history, when the Song army fought on two fronts with the Dangxiang people and the Khitans at the same time, Li Zhongyi only needs to take Jinyang, which is equivalent to closing the passage for the Khitans to fight the grass valley from the southeast of the river.

To put it bluntly, several passes in the east of the river are all dangerous passes, which are completely different from the endless Hebei Plain.

Forcing Yelu Hugo to Hebei for a decisive battle was Li Zhongyi's established policy, and the main purpose of this expedition to the north was to close the door for the Khitans to go southeast of the river.

Obviously, the Great Plain of Youji is the essence of the Khitan people, and it is impossible to concentrate the main force and Li Zhongyi in a decisive battle in Xijing Road with Brother Hugh's wisdom.

The decisive battle on the Great Plain of Youji seems to be very beneficial to the Khitans, but in fact, it is the best battlefield for the Li family's army.

On the entire Great Plain of Youji, the water network is vertical and horizontal, which is very suitable for the sailor to give full play to the advantages of super power.

Li Zhongyi has the help of the sailor, which is equivalent to making Brother Hugh's children's shoes unguardable, being attacked by enemies everywhere, and being beaten passively everywhere.

Since it is a yang conspiracy, Yelu Xiu Ge can naturally understand Li Zhongyi's strategic intentions, however, the so-called yang conspiracy also means that even if Ye Lu Xiu Ge no longer wants to be contained, he must also consider the serious consequences of Youzhou's loss.

If Youzhou is lost, the Khitans can only be forced to retreat to the north of the Yanshan Mountains.

The most feared thing for the steppe nomads is that the cold wave of winter is coming. And the cold wave will come inadvertently, and the livestock will be frozen to death in a large area, what will happen in the next spring?

How can I say it, Li Zhongyi wants to make trouble with the Northern Han Dynasty, and it is impossible for Yelu Xiuge to watch the Jinyang army fall and divide the troops on two fronts, which is imperative!

Divide the troops, that's right, the force is scattered, it is easy to break, and what Li Zhongyi is fighting is the bad idea of forcing the Khitans to divide their troops!

knew that it was not good to divide the troops, but Brother Hugh had to bite the bullet and divide the Han army to rescue Jinyang, which happened to fall into the calculation of the General Staff Department of the Li Family.

The so-called wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake!

No matter how powerful Jeruxiu is, his calculation ability is definitely not comparable to the brainstorming of hundreds of senators in the General Senate!

Back then, the German army relied on the super computing and coordination ability of the General Staff to fight the entire European army all over the place!

The most proud thing in Li Zhongyi's life was not to make a divine arm crossbow or bronze artillery, but to establish the General Staff Department for the first time.

Fishing for Niangzi Pass, he deliberately did not take it immediately, just to give hope to Liu Han's regime and take the opportunity to mobilize Yelu Huge's soldiers and horses.

On the other hand, Li Zhongyi was waiting for the 12-pounder gun to be transported. Heavy artillery is required to attack Niangzi Pass on the back, 6 pounder is only suitable for bombarding the city gate or field battle, and 12-pounder cannon is still needed to destroy the city wall.

Li Zhongyi was not in a hurry, but Duan Chang, who was closed by the lady, was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and urged Jinyang to send rescue troops quickly.

At this juncture, Duan Chang received a frightening bad news, the Lingzhou Army, the Zhejia Army and the Yang Family Army in the northwest jointly sent troops, and the troops were directed at Jinyang.

Jinyang's reinforcements were obviously not counted on, and the Han lord Liu Jun had to repeatedly send people to beg Yelu Huge to send rescue troops quickly and come to reinforce Jinyang and Niangziguan.

As the saying goes, more people are better at work, and fewer people are better at money!

Li Zhongyi's descendants had 200,000 soldiers at best, but they were scattered in various important places throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the headquarters of Song Yunxiang, the general of the expedition, Liu Heyang, the general of the expedition, and the Yang Lie, the general of the expedition.

But he used Guo Huai's soldiers and horses in the northwest, as well as the Yang family army and the Zhejia army, to greatly contain the strength of Jinyang to reinforce Niangziguan.

Li Zhongyi is a guy who can't afford to be unprofitable, he brought out so many soldiers and horses, the consumption must be huge, if he doesn't get some benefits to go home, how can he be willing to give up?

In addition to containing Liu Jun in Jinyang, Li Zhongyi also had another goal in his northward expansion: Fu Yanqing, a famous mansion that has always been secretly involved with the Khitans.

Since Li Zhongyi was stationed under Niangzi Pass, he repeatedly sent an edict to Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei in the Daimyo Mansion, ordering him to lead the army to help Niangzi Pass in person.

However, Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, turned a deaf ear to Li Zhongyi's summons, neither brought troops to assist, nor personally came to ask for guilt, and always assigned Fu Zhaoxin to be a lobbyist in the center.

In the early years, when Li Zhongyi was still the capital prisoner of the Broken Army, Fu Zhaoxin was already the commander of the Broken Army, and the relationship between the two was very deep.

However, in the face of the major rights and wrongs of unifying the military power of the whole country, no matter how good the personal relationship between Li Zhongyi and Fu Zhaoxin is, it is useless.

With the successive downfall of Li Chongjin and Li Yun, who is the biggest warlord in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty besides Fu Yanqing?

Li Zhongyi summoned Fu Yanqing three times, but Fu Yanqing kept saying that he was sick and couldn't come, hehe, the excuse sent to his mouth, if Li Zhongyi didn't use the topic to play, then would he still be the new master of the Great Zhou?

"Xincheng Gong, please go back to the Daimyo Mansion for a while, and say that I, Li, will go to the Daimyo Mansion to visit His Royal Highness King Wei in person three days later!" As soon as Li Zhongyi said this, it was like an ultimatum.

The entire Fu family, the person who knows Li Zhongyi best, besides Fu Zhaoxin, who else is there?

Li Zhongyi's so-called personal visit to Fu Yanqing in the Daimyo Mansion, how could it be that he was alone and went lightly, it could only be that he personally led the army to the city.

"Ruler, why is this so?" Fu Zhao understood it in his faith, but he couldn't say it thoroughly, and the bitterness in his heart couldn't be described in words.

Li Zhongyi smiled faintly and said: "Xincheng Gong, the shore of the land is not the king's land, and the lonely words are all here, where to go, it depends on how His Royal Highness the King of Wei chooses." ”

At this point, Fu Zhaoxin knew that it was irretrievable, so he simply didn't bother to pack his bags, and set off overnight to rush back to the Daimyo's Mansion to report the news.

Who would have thought that Fu Zhaoxin had just left the city, and before he could run out of ten miles, he was blocked by the soldiers and horses of the Li family army who were constantly marching eastward.

This is definitely a conspiracy!

Fu Zhaoxin suddenly woke up, Li Zhongyi's so-called attack on Jinyang, or taking Youzhou in the north, is just a trick, his real purpose must be to take the Daimyo's Mansion and eradicate the foundation of the Fu family!

After having a clear understanding, Fu Zhaoxin couldn't help but feel anxious, and he couldn't wait to put wings under his ribs and fly back to the Daimyo's Mansion immediately.

That's right, Li Zhongyi's purpose for this Northern Expedition is a total of three: in addition to taking Jinyang in the west and Youzhou in the north, the most important thing is to take the outside and the inside, that is, to take the Daimyo's Mansion in the east.

To put it bluntly, Empress Dowager Fu can listen to the government, and the Fu family of the Daimyo Mansion is her most solid backing.

If Li Zhongyi uprooted the foundation of the Fu family from the roots, hehe, the Empress Dowager Fu and the little emperor who were far away in Kaifeng City would become a boat without water and a tree without roots!

This trick is called a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle!

As long as he took down the Fu family of the Daimyo Mansion and the feudal towns all over the Great Zhou, who would dare to disobey Li Zhongyi's decree?

Ready to fly, have to send!

Facing the Li family army that had already marched eastward, Fu Zhaoxin was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, so he simply became ruthless, and only brought a few generals, each equipped with three horses, and planned to rush back to the Daimyo's Mansion under the stars.

After Li Zhongyi learned the news, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Father and son soldiers went into battle, fighting tiger brothers, flesh and blood relatives broke their legs, and they still had tendons." ”

Liao Shanhe, who knew the inside story on the side, grinned: "I'm just rushing back to report the news now, hehe, it's too late!" ”

Li Zhongyi and Liao Shanhe looked at each other tacitly, and the two of them smiled at the same time, hehe, Fu Zhaoxin is only thinking about rushing back to the Daimyo's Mansion now, and it is indeed too late.

Taking advantage of the fact that Yelu Hugo was not sure of the true intentions of the Li family's army, the main force of the Li family's army had actually all marched eastward, and the goal was directly aimed at the Daimyo's mansion.

On the way, the horses of Fu Zhaoxin's team fell ill one after another. In less than a day's work, more than a dozen war horses, all vomiting and diarrhea, lying in the stable, obviously unable to continue the journey!

For a while, where did Fu Zhaoxin go to find a replacement horse, he was so anxious that he scolded Li Zhongyi, "Dog things, intentional, deliberate, must not die well......"

Li Zhongyi heard that Fu Zhaoxin had bought a horse and went on the road alone to report the news to the Daimyo's Mansion, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said: "It's really broken bones and tendons, and blood is thicker than water!" ”

I think that at the beginning, after Fu Zhaoxin lost his qualification to be the prince of Wei, he broke into Kaifeng City, and then worked with Li Zhongyi in the Broken Army for more than a year.

However, when the Fu family was really about to have a big incident, Fu Zhaoxin had to go on the road alone and rush back to report to the Fu family.

However, after Fu Zhaoxin went on the road alone, there was no place to replenish dry food and drinking water along the way, so he could only rely on wild fruits and mountain spring water to satisfy his hunger.

When Fu Zhaoxin finally rushed back to the gate of the Daimyo's Mansion, he heard a hysterical roar from behind him, "Enemy attack, enemy attack, close the city gate, close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly......"

Fu Zhaoxin couldn't help but see the darkness in front of him, and he fell off the horse, and in a scream, he was unconscious.
