However, the relationship between Chai Yuniang and the little emperor has always been very close. This time, Chai Yuniang broke into the palace with a sword, and the key role was certainly the force at hand at hand by Li Zhongyi, and at the same time, it was also inseparable from the deliberate maintenance of the little emperor.

Li Zhongyi is familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty, and he clearly knows that after Zhao Lao'er was killed by Zhao Lao'er, Zhao Lao'er's pre-arranged traitor, Wang Jien, the "inner servant", played a pivotal role in the process of Zhao Kuangyi's usurpation.

As long as you are a brother who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you will definitely remember a major event that determined the fate of the Eastern Han Dynasty: the general He Jin was tricked into the palace by the great eunuchs and directly chopped off his head.

Poor general He Jin, don't look at all the soldiers and horses in the entire capital, after he entered the palace alone, several armed eunuchs easily cut off his head.

In the midst of the disaster, the slightest difference is that you will lose your head, die and die, and there is no regret medicine to eat!

On the other hand, if any powerful minister wants to succeed, he must have reliable people of his own in the deep palace to take power or help cover up!

Due to Qin Wuxie's special status, Li Zhongyi had been thinking about one thing long before they met: how to send Qin Wuxian into the palace smoothly and without dazzling his eyes?

Before they met, Qin Wuxian had always been a little worried, afraid that Chai Yuniang would no longer trust him, an old servant.

Now, Chai Yuniang treats him as affectionately as ever, and Qin Wuxian, who originally hung that heart, finally fell back into his belly: Her Royal Highness the princess, she is a person who cherishes old love!

Actually, Qin Wuxian is a person who understands!

After Chai Rong ascended the throne, he sent Qin Wuxian to the Guard's Hidden Mansion in Lanzhou, obviously hinting at him. Don't go near Chai Yuniang.

Therefore, after Qin Wuxian arrived in Lanzhou. I didn't dare to take the initiative to contact Chai Yuniang. Until, this time. After Chai Rong had already died, Qin Wuxian still endured the national mourning period, so he took the initiative to get in touch with her.

Li Zhongyi is an understanding person, he knows that this Qin has no hatred, he is worthy of being an old man in the palace, and he knows how to judge the situation very well.

In the deep palace, Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu did gather a group of chamberlains, but this was a relationship bought by silver. At a critical time, I am afraid that no one dares to take the huge risk of losing their heads and secretly report the news.

Therefore, Li Zhongyi had great expectations for this private meeting with Qin Wuxi.

In this world, people are not machines, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?

As long as Qin Wuxian smoothly blends into the palace, there will always be a time when it will work. It depends on how Li Zhongyi makes overall arrangements.

After discussing with Qin Wuxian for a long time, Li Zhongyi led Chai Yuniang, boarded an ox cart, and left the small courtyard of the farmhouse in a leisurely manner.

Li Zhongyi and Chai Yuniang are different. He changed into an inconspicuous Northwest River set horse halfway, and under the escort of Li Yunxiao, the horse galloped wildly. Quickly caught up with the large troops.

After the army arrived in Puzhou, Li Zhongyi was unexpected. Ordered to rest on the spot for a day, this military order made Ye Chengwang, who was already about to collapse. A big sigh of relief.

Going north along Puzhou, it is the maiden home of the Empress Dowager Fu, the old nest of the Fu family - the Daimyo Mansion.

According to the outdated military reports from the front, Yelu Huge's soldiers and horses, after bypassing Yingzhou, suddenly disappeared without a trace.

When the Khitans went south from Yingzhou to the Daimyo's Mansion, they must have passed through Shenzhou, Jizhou and Beizhou, but there were no warning signals from these three states.

The grassland people are not very good at siege warfare, and the fall of Xiongzhou and Bazhou is mainly due to Neiying's secret troublemaking, which allowed Yelu Xiuge to succeed.

The Daimyo's Mansion, under the painstaking management of the Fu family for more than ten years, the city defense is extremely solid. For the Khitan people, the Daimyo Mansion of the Fu family is an authentic hard bone.

Yelu Huge's sudden disappearance, Li Zhongyi immediately understood that this Khitan number one general must be eyeing him, the sworn enemy of the Khitans!

Obviously, Yelu Huge's wishful thinking is a loud fight, as long as Li Zhongyi, the thorn in the eye and flesh of the Khitans, is defeated, the vast territory of the Great Zhou on the north bank of the Yellow River will definitely become the bag of the Khitans.

You must know that although the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is vast and the heart of the essence is the land of the Central Plains on the north bank of the Yellow River.

At this time, the Jinghu area still belongs to the territory of Jingnan Kingdom. The large territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty has not yet been developed in a real sense.

The economic lifeline of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is basically concentrated in Hebei, Henan, and some parts of Hedong.

Now, the Khitan iron cavalry led by Yelu Xiu Ge, after bypassing Yingzhou, suddenly disappeared without a trace, Li Zhongyi was very sure in his heart: Ye Lu Xiu Ge's goal, eighty percent fell on the head of the Fu family of the Daimyo Mansion.

No matter how powerful the Khitan cavalry is, no matter how easy it is to fight in the grass valley on the way south, it is impossible for Yelu Xiuge to be arrogant enough to completely ignore his back.

According to the military report sent back by the sentinels, the Guangrui Army and the Divine Guard Army walked unusually long on the road. Yulin's right guard had arrived in Puzhou, more than eight hours, and these two troops and horses were still fifty miles away from the big tent of the Chinese army under Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi strolled through the Chinese army camp with his hands behind his back, bowing his head and carefully pondering the possible direction and time of Yelu Huge's attack.

In a country like the Khitan Kingdom, where the strong are respected, Yelu Huge's reputation as the first general should be a well-deserved fact in Li Zhongyi's view.

In the Khitan State, which is dominated by military aristocrats, how can there be vain soldiers under the fame?

Li Zhongyi stopped, beckoned Li Yunxiao, and asked him in a deep voice: "Do the sentinels in all directions have returns?" "He is a veteran of sneak attacks, and if he is robbed by Yelu Hugo because of his carelessness, it will become a big joke.

The problem is that the Khitans are strong and strong, and there are more than a million people who control the strings, and to be honest, even if Yelu Hugo loses this battle, he can afford to lose.

However, Li Zhongyi has such a small amount of capital on hand, if he loses, his parents will definitely be swept away, and many beautiful concubines are likely to be looted by the powerful people in the court.

It is not surprising that Li Zhongyi attaches great importance to the situation of sentinel exploration.

Li Yunxiao hadn't seen it for a long time, Li Zhongyi was staring at the sentry so much, he touched his head, and simply took out a gridded simple military map from his arms, and gave a detailed introduction with a bright torch.

"Master, according to your orders, we will send sentry agents in all directions from the original two groups and one team to three groups and one team, separated by about five miles from each other. The ignition sickle made of white phosphorus was also sent to the hands of each sentry, and as long as the alarm was heard, fireworks were immediately set off to report to the sentinel behind. Li Yunxiao pointed at the map that he had been very familiar with for a long time, and at the same time made a meticulous report on the situation of the sentinel he had mastered.

Li Zhongyi narrowed his eyes, stared at the official road to the south of the map, and did not speak for a long time.

"Xiaosong, if you Brother Yelu Xiu, you know that the marching speed of our Yulin Right Guard is very fast, where will you suddenly come out and catch us off guard?" Li Zhongyi suddenly felt the urge to smoke.

Li Zhongyi's army had been moving north for several days, but the enemy army had suddenly disappeared, and it was clear that Yelu Hugo was playing a very big game of chess.

"Pass the order, the Guangrui Army and the Shenwei Army, immediately stop advancing, and choose a location with a water source to set up a large camp." Li Zhongyi's face suddenly changed, and he, who had fought with the Shan army, actually knew very well in his heart that the elite iron cavalry of the Khitan people was generally two horses and one pawn.

The main force led by Yelu Hugo to the south this time is actually a more elite leather room army than the Shan army, according to the military report from the front, traces of the activities of the leather room army have been found, but it is not clear how many people there are.

Li Zhongyi has always been skeptical of this kind of military report, and he even doubted that the various military states south of Xiongzhou and Bazhou had the courage to send sentinels to spy on the activities of the Khitans at close range?

The Daimyo's Mansion is the first fortified city of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Hebei, and it is the nest that the Fu family has operated for many years.

In addition, with Yelu Hugo's rich military experience, it is impossible not to know: there are reinforcements outside, and the fortified city is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Based on these basic judgments, Li Zhongyi realized that the goal of Yelu Huge's southward journey this time was likely to make a fuss in his army.

Most of the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty were peasants and fought within their own borders, so they relied heavily on logistics.

The elite cavalry of the Khitans has an extremely strong advantage in mobility, which is very obvious. If Yelu Hugo doesn't understand his strengths and his shortcomings, then he is not worthy of being called the first Khitan general.

"Master, are you worried that our back road will be cut off?" Li Yunxiao followed Li Zhongyi's side, conquered all the way to the south and the north, crossed the east and killed the west, and he was already a well-informed general, and he had already realized the seriousness of some problems.

"Xiaosong, maybe I'm still wrong, some people's moral bottom line." Li Zhongyi put his hands behind his back, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said coldly, "Han Tong's Guangrui Army is in danger!" ”

Behind Li Zhongyi, according to the marching sequence, it should be the Divine Guard, and finally Han Tong's descendants, the Guangrui Army.

In other words, as long as the generals with a little military knowledge should know that if Yelu Xiuge wanted to cut off Li Zhongyi's grain route and rob the baggage of the northbound army, he was still on the way and was the Guangrui army of the rear troops, which was the best target for attack.

Yelu Huge's military literacy only needs to be above the average level of this era, and he will definitely arrange a ranger to intercept the approaching reinforcements of the Divine Guard Army while sneaking up on the Guangrui Army.

Based on Li Zhongyi's observation of the Divine Guard Army, not to mention that they are not capable of reinforcing the Guangrui Army, even if they have that strength, because of the sharp contradictions between Han and Zhao, it is unlikely that they will risk the annihilation of the entire army to meet the Guangrui Army.

Li Zhongyi didn't expect that Brother Yelu Xiu had the courage to lead his troops into the hinterland of the Great Zhou alone, and he also wanted to swallow him Li in one bite, even the belt bones.

Tsk, what a well-deserved Jeluxiu! (To be continued.) )
