During the day, when the line of sight is very good, being able to gather thousands of troops is actually not a real skill!

At night, the 50,000 people of the Ma Guangda Department of the Li Jiajun were mobilized, but there was no noise or noise, which was the hard work of the Li Jiajun's rise.

Fifty thousand men, following behind their respective officers, quietly groped out of the various exits in the camp, and then disappeared into the vast night.

In the night, Li Zhongyi turned his head to look behind him, only to hear rustling footsteps, and even the movement of panting was minimal.

Well, after more than ten years of hard training, to this day, it can finally be regarded as bringing out a strong army.

Li Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction, felt the water bladder from the saddle, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, moistened his throat, and then gently put the water bladder back in its original place.

Originally, the soldiers of the Li family army thought that they were going out of the camp in the middle of the night to attack the Khitans. However, after walking out for more than two hours, some smart people suddenly discovered that the entire army had embarked on the road back to Fanyang.

After walking for a while, the soldiers in front found that they had come to the Sanggan River.

"Hurry aboard!" Li Zhongyi, who had already rushed to the bank of the river in advance, immediately gave the order to board the boat.

Thousands of large ships that had just returned from Goryeo were quietly docked on the banks of the river, and the gangplanks had been set up between them, waiting for everyone to board.

The senators of the General Staff Department, who have always followed the actions of Li Zhongyi, the commander-in-chief, quietly boarded the ship, and were shocked to find that there were three curtains hanging on the hatch of the ship, and the windows were also covered with thick linoleum cloth.

Even if the cabin is brightly lit, there is not the slightest light from the outside, and the secrecy work can be said to be done at home.

"I said, this should be Youzhou, right?" Some senators whispered to show off his insight.

"Hehe, boarded the boat overnight, and it was on the Sanggan River again, not to Youzhou, where will you go?"

"I mean, it doesn't seem like one of the plans in advance, does it?" Someone found something suspicious.

"The secrecy work has been done at home, and it is obviously a big operation."

The senators of the Senate Department all know the importance of secrecy, and since Li Zhongyi did not make it clear in advance, this also means that it is the highest level of secrecy.

Li Zhongyi sat in the handsome cabin, and in front of him stood Ma Guangda and Zhao Laoqi, the commander of the sailors, and when he saw the two of them standing straight, he smiled and waved his hand: "Sit down, sit down and talk." Come on, serve tea! ”

Ma Guangda and Zhao Laoqi were instructed, so they carefully sat down under Li Zhongyi, but they didn't dare to take their eyes off Li Zhongyi's body.

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that as he took charge of the army for a long time, his prestige in the army also deepened.

Don't look at Ma Guangda and Zhao Laoqi are both the main generals of the first army, but in front of Li Zhongyi, they are becoming more and more restrained.

Earlier, when Ma Guangda was poor, he dared to make a few meat jokes with Li Zhongyi. Now, borrowing his 800 guts, he no longer dares to talk nonsense.

As for Zhao Laoyi, he is a major general of the sailor who was picked up by Li Zhongyi, knowing the grace of encounters, rebuilding with grace, and treating Li Zhongyi as a father has always been his belief.

"Boss, tens of thousands of troops boarding the ship is not a trivial matter, you will go and settle it yourself." Li Zhongyi left Zhao Laoqi to drink half a cup of tea, and then liberated him and asked him to coordinate and arrange the boarding of the ship.

Zhao Laoqi stood up, arched his hands and said, "Lord, according to your prior instructions, the iron sheets are inlaid on the sheds to facilitate the fire attack of the Khitans. The bow of the ship is also covered with sandbags, which can be used to extinguish fires anytime and anywhere. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and praised: "You have done a good job, I am very satisfied." ”

As the commander of the army, Li Zhongyi has not been so boastful for a while, and Zhao Laoyi's excited eyes lit up.

After Zhao Laoqi went out, Ma Guangda whispered: "Lord, our actions today are a bit risky. ”

Li Zhongyi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then smiled: "There is no risk at all, will the Khitan people obediently leave the feng shui treasure land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun?" ”

"That's just as well!" Ma Guangda sighed softly, after Li Zhongyi received a secret letter from Yang Lie, he immediately changed the original battle plan, and he had already persuaded him if he should have been persuaded, but Li Zhongyi did not listen.

According to Ma Guangda's idea, since the army is not short of water or food, it is better to confront the Khitans.

In the entire Youyun region, there is only one harvest in a year, and as long as the spring sowing is delayed, the Khitan people will be hungry in the coming year.

However, Li Zhongyi did not adopt this opinion, but firmly believed in one thing, Yang Lie would definitely be able to attack Youzhou City tonight or before the early hours of the morning.

The wide Sanggan River leads directly to the edge of Youzhou City, which is very conducive to the free movement of the water master, and after Li Zhongyi thought about it carefully, he came out with 50,000 elites.

Yang Lie had 30,000 people on his side, and Li Zhongyi led 50,000 reinforcements, a total of 80,000 people.

If Yang Lie can really touch the city of Youzhou, then the two forces together, even if they can't take Youzhou, they can completely cut off the grain route of the Khitans.

At that time, the Khitans were attacked by the enemy and cut off the logistics supply line, and the only way out was to go back to the prairie to replenish grain and grass.

The only key point of this battle plan is whether the partial division led by Yang Lie can get rid of the pursuing Khitans, rush to the city of Youzhou in time, and sneak attack?

As for the 50,000 people brought out by Li Zhongyi, it was purely to bully the Khitans and not have a sailor, as long as the fire attack was prevented, it could be described as a good situation in which the advance could be attacked and the retreat could be defended.

As for the Liao Shanhe Department that was left in the camp by Li Zhongyi, it was a large corps of 130,000 people. On the side of Liaoshan River, as long as the defensive position is taken solidly, even if there are 500,000 Khitans, it will be difficult to shake that big camp in a short time.

To put it bluntly, Yang Lie and Li Zhongyi have been in contact for several days using carrier pigeons, and what they are waiting for is this moment!

According to Li Zhongyi's military order in advance, as long as the warships on the river bank were full of soldiers, they must immediately set sail north, so as to affect other ships to dock.

"Shiguang, Yelu Hugo is indeed a respectable opponent, but his ideology is still stuck in a thousand years ago, which is doomed, backward must be beaten!" Li Zhongyi stood up with a smile, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and stuffed them into Ma Guangda's hand.

Ma Guangda was stunned for a while, he was all at this juncture, Li Zhongyi still had the leisure to let him knock melon seeds?

"The Lord and the subordinates have always been a little confused in their hearts." Ma Guangda told the truth and revealed his worries again.

Li Zhongyi nodded and praised Ma Guangda: "Your previous concerns are indeed quite reasonable. However, the naval division battle is a combat mode that the Khitans are not familiar with, and today's loss, Yelu Xiuge is decided! ”

"Besides, Yang Lie said that he was sure to take the north gate of Youzhou, I must be able to trust it!" Li Zhongyi's confidence in Yang Lie was almost bursting, which made Ma Guangda speechless.
