The battle was a complete victory, and the fly in the ointment was that Yeluao committed suicide and took the last glory of his steppe military aristocracy to the western sky!

Li Zhongyi didn't care too much about Yelu Ao's life or death, because the bigger enemy, Yelu Xiuge, was stirring up trouble in the south.

According to the information obtained from the interrogation of the captives, Bazhou and Xiongzhou in the north, after falling into the hands of the Khitans, immediately became a military supply transfer center.

Due to the huge harvest of the robbery, the grain, grass, iron, treasures and young women looted by the Khitans from the Central Plains were all placed in Xiongzhou and Bazhou, waiting to be transferred back to the Khitan.

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and carefully pondered a difficult problem, whether to go north to Xiongxiong and dominate Erzhou to recapture the stolen population and materials, or to go south in the starry night and face Yelu Hugo who was raging in the south.

Zhe Congruan said honestly and unceremoniously: "What is the hesitation in this matter, if it is the old man who commands the army, he will definitely go north to dominate the two states." As long as these two places are taken, the trend of closing the door and beating the dog will be successful. ”

Li Zhongyi had some hidden worries in his heart, but he never knew where to start. The capital Kaifeng has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and it seems that the city defense is impregnable, but in fact, Yelu Hugo gave up the large army and took the most elite leather room army to the south, if there is no problem, Li Zhongyi will definitely not believe it.

His parents, wife and children are all in Kaifeng City, and Li Zhongyi is faintly worried, but it is difficult to announce it.

After all, Zhe Congruan was old and spicy, and he considered the problem more thoroughly, he roughly guessed Li Zhongyi's thoughts, so he said with a smile: "After this battle, those cubs of my family will definitely be convinced, and the old man can go to the capital to enjoy Qingfu with peace of mind." ”

With Ruan's care in the capital, Li Zhongyi instantly lost his worries. said with a smile: "There is Yuezu sitting in the capital, and there is no need to worry about the future." ”

The imperial court has long had a good edict. summoned the fold from Ruan to Beijing, and the fold from Ruan was worried that the foundation of the folded family was unstable. I didn't go all the time.

Now, in the name of the edict, Fold Congruan entered Beijing to face the king, which can be described as righteous and bright, and there are sufficient reasons.

Fold Congruan's decision made Li Zhongyi make up his mind that whether it is public or private, he should take Xiongzhou and Bazhou in advance.

Yu Gong, after taking the Xiong and Ba Erzhou. Even if Yelu Hugo turns the world upside down in the south, he will not escape the trend of closing the door and beating the dogs!

For private reasons, if Li Zhongyi had mastered the young and strong population of the Khitans who had seized Xiong and Ba Erzhou, as well as countless materials of various kinds, his power would definitely be greatly expanded.

At that time, the Great Zhou court wanted to use the problem of logistics and supply to contain Li Zhongyi, which became the most ridiculous joke.

Since he had been fighting continuously for a whole day, even the iron man would definitely not be able to bear it, so Li Zhongyi gave the order. took out the wounded horses and various supplies of the captured Khitans, and rewarded the three armies, except for not drinking alcohol, and ate freely with their stomachs open.

Li Zhongyi himself led the meritorious generals of the Li family's army. Accompanied by the generals of the folding family, sat cross-legged in the big tent of the Chinese army, and held a celebration banquet.

There were too many wounded horses in this battle. The Khitans also carried countless cattle and sheep with the army, and the result was. The celebration banquet turned into a wine pond meat forest, which made the generals of the Zhe family eat one by one. Enjoyable.

According to the old rules, when Li Zhongyi accompanied the guests to drink wine and eat meat, Yang Lie took over the command of the whole army, he commanded and dispatched the whole army to camp outside the big tent of the Chinese army, and sent sentinels from afar, so as not to be pecked and blinded by geese all day long.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Zhongyi deliberately called quite Chaoyong in front of him, patted the couch next to him, and said with a smile: "Our great heroes have worked hard, come, just sit next to me." ”

Quite Chaoyong felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to make a rash mistake, arched his hand and said cautiously: "The young general is just relying on some brute spirit, how dare he speak bravely?" ”

Li Zhongyi laughed, turned his head and asked Zhi Congruan: "Ancestor Yue, what do you think Xiang Ming should talk about?" ”

Zhi Congruan touched his white beard, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "To be fair, what Xiang Ming has set up today is the first achievement, and he should be seated." ”

Po Chaoyong still wanted to excuse himself, but he deliberately turned his face and asked him in a deep voice: "In the blameless army, merit must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished, Xiang Ming, you don't have any worries, just sit down." ”

After being disciplined by Ruan, quite Chaoyong sat beside Li Zhongyi with a dazzled smile, and toasted with peace of mind.

Boiled whole lamb, fried steak, roast horse meat, mutton soup, and other delicacies that are usually rare to see, are generally served in front of everyone with flowing water.

Li Zhongyi himself is a well-known Chinese medicine practitioner, and he has a lot of research on the way of health preservation. His daily diet, taste and nutrition, are complete, and rarely have such a heavy taste as today.

However, Li Zhongyi knows very well in his heart, don't look at the bright clothes and armor of the folding family, in fact, on weekdays, he has a very hard life, and there are few opportunities for big fish and big meat.

"Everyone, those who can sit here and drink wine and eat meat are not outsiders, everyone is brothers." After Zhu Niang poured the wine cup full, Li Zhongyi stood up, respectfully held the wine cup in front of Zhe Congruan, and said with an unusually sincere attitude, "Meng Yuezu, and all the uncles and brothers do not give up, and help me in times of crisis. ”

Zhe Congruan knew in his heart, and someone in the Zhejia army whispered in private just now: In today's battle, the Zhejia army suffered great losses, and so many things were captured in front of the battle, but they were all swallowed by Li Zhongyi in one bite, and he has not seen half a leg of mutton so far.

Similar strange words must have been heard by Li Zhongyi, Zhi Congruan pressed this idea, and then stood up, laughed, stretched out his big hand, and pressed it on Li Zhongyi's shoulder, "Even if you only look at the face of Brother Xing and Ling Niu, those of us who are elders have to come to such a journey." ”

Li Zhongyi's eyes flashed slightly, and Zhi Congruan seemed to be joking, but in fact, there was something in his words. As for how to distribute the spoils, in fact, Li Zhongyi has already made a calculation, but it is not yet time to mention it.

With Fold Congruan's gag, the pressure on Li Zhongyi's body was much lighter, and he drank nine cups in one go. Then, Li Zhongyi and the elders in the Zhejia army in turn, one by one, spoke cheerfully, and the posture was very correct, making people speechless.

Before Zhu Niang became Li Zhongyi's favorite concubine, she was an authentic Fold family, and her identity was the same as Fold Saihua, which was extremely special, and she was responsible for the friendly exchanges between the two families.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there is only one woman in Zhu Niang, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Zhongyi's love for Zhu Niang is incomprehensible!

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Zhongyi put down the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Yang Baixing has already counted all kinds of materials seized, why don't you let him come in and talk about it, and help everyone's wine?" ”

Zhi Congruan touched his white beard and nodded with satisfaction, this is Li Wuyi, who he has always valued very much, read out the list of seized materials in public, this is obviously the practice of not letting the generals of the Zhe family suffer! (To be continued.) )
