Chapter 635: Sweeping
What kind of noble identity is Li Zhongyi? The well-known head of the Hebei Provincial March, one of the eight phases of the political affairs hall of the Eight Classics, and a mere four-grade thorn history, with an eyelid, even if it is very affordable.
Since Tian Long enthusiastically applied for a penalty for drinking, then only Song Yunxiang needs to come forward to rectify it to death, Li Zhongyi, the prime minister of the dynasty, has no reason to surrender his identity at all.
After the baggage was raised and loaded and transported away, Li Zhongyi led the Ya barracks, behind the large army, and continued north along the canal.
To the north of Cangzhou, there is the Qianning Army, which is now Qingxian County, Cangzhou City. The famous Zhangshui flows through the Qianning Army and flows into the Bohai Bay.
Along the way, large and small merchant ships or civilian ships were all recruited by Li Jiajun. According to Li Zhongyi, the bombing is the so-called, and there is no one left for Yelu Hugo.
On the shore of the estuary of the Yellow Water Ocean, Li Zhongyi stood on the second floor of the official ship, silently watching the endless stream of materials and people boarding the ship.
The boarding of the army was definitely not a child's play, and the whole process lasted for a day and two nights before it was rectified.
Li Zhongyi deliberately made such a big move, but Yelu Xiuge never came to fight him, and there must be something hidden here.
However, Li Zhongyi originally didn't want to fight Yelu Xiuge in Cangzhou.
The reason is obvious, Kou can come to the Central Plains, and the officers and troops of Wang Shi can also go to Kou Realm, and there are contacts between them, which can be regarded as a normal strategic situation.
Li Zhongyi sat back on the comfortable handsome chair from the window of the cabin, and as soon as he picked up the tea cup, he heard the sound of the stairs.
"Report to the marshal, fifty miles to the south, I found a large cavalry force of the Khitans." The sentinel finally came with the news that the Khitans had appeared.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, and resolutely ordered: "Set sail, target Bazhou!" Song Yunxiang on the side smiled and bowed his hand, turned around and went downstairs to give orders.
The mighty and huge fleet, on the breezy yellow water, can not be seen at a glance, and the momentum is quite magnificent.
The fly in the ointment is that the fleet led by Li Zhongyi is not the standard sailor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but a mixture of various merchant ships and civilian ships.
This kind of inland river boat, the largest is only 200 stones, and it is difficult to withstand the monstrous waves of the deep sea.
Therefore, Li Zhongyi specially told Song Yunxiang that in the fleet, the big ships should be outside, and the small boats should be inside, and they should all sail about 3 miles along the coastline, and once something happens, they should move closer to the shore, so as not to cause the natural tragedy of the Yuan army attacking the Japanese country.
After the fleet all set sail offshore, "Master, the Khitans are here." Zhu Niang's whispered reminder made Li Zhongyi walk back to the window, holding a telescope in his hand, and looking into the distance.
Good fellow, not far from the shore, smoke and dust billowed and the sound of trumpets was heard frequently, and the rumbling of horses' hooves was like thunder.
Since the opponent was Yelu Hugo, Li Zhongyi categorically ordered: "Try to row the boat out to sea and stay away from the shore." ”
The rabble fleet is far less well-trained than the sailors of the Great Zhou, and the process of rowing is naturally full of foreign appearances.
Fortunately, the sea is calm today, and there are no big waves, otherwise, I am afraid that many ships will capsize.
Li Zhongyi's handsome ship remained on the sea more than a mile offshore, and did not immediately follow the large fleet northward.
It's been a while since he fought with Yelu Hugo, and Li Zhongyi hasn't seen his true face yet, so he is really a little curious.
However, Li Zhongyi waited and waited, but what he was waiting for was a red-faced man, this person was wearing a golden helmet, covered with dark and bright light armor, and behind him, there was a big flag, embroidered with a big gold-edged black letter: Liao!
Li Zhongyi saw this Liao who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and couldn't help but feel a little in his heart, the Khitan people are very smart, and they call Liao but not Khitan.
In fact, in the history of China, the Khitan State was also the first great empire to implement one country, two systems, and its political wisdom should not be underestimated.
Militarily, the Khitans have always had an absolute offensive advantage over the Great Zhou.
Putting aside the war potential of the Khitan State with millions of armor now, from Youzhou to the south, it is basically a flat river, and the geographical advantage is extremely suitable for the Khitan nation on horseback.
"Damn traitor Shi Jingjiao." After Li Zhongyi scolded, he put away the monoculars and ordered: "Let's go, catch up with the big team." ”
Taking the opportunity of Li Yunxiao to go out to pass the order, Zhu Niang walked up to Li Zhongyi, took the telescope in his hand, and asked him curiously: "Master, the slave family still thought you were going to say a few words to Brother Yeluxiu, why did you leave?" ”
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "I can see Yelu Xiuge's appearance, but he can't see my appearance clearly, this is called the technical generation difference, hehe." Between me and him, sooner or later, we will meet, maybe under Youzhou City, maybe in Bazhou City, now there is no need to worry. ”
The huge fleet of crooked ships sailed north in an endless stream along the shore of the Yellow Water Ocean.
"Damn Southern Barbarian!" The right leather room army stabilized Yelu Aman, and viciously threw the horse whip in his hand.
Yelu Hugo looked at Yelu Aman coldly, if it weren't for the leather room army under this guy, after it was scattered, it would be like a kite with a broken string, and it would never be recovered, why would it be two days late?
Although the leather room army is the most elite royal tent army in the Great Khitan Kingdom, the training is extremely strict, and the combat effectiveness is also extraordinary, but there is a fatal flaw, that is, greedy for money and lustful.
The extremely brave leather room army during the battle, fighting the "grass valley", is also a group of extremely greedy wolves, who will never withdraw their troops if they don't grab enough good things.
"Aman, if there is something going on in Beijing, will you come to see you?" Yelu Hugh has been enveloping Yelu Aman on weekdays and regards him as a confidant, but Li Zhongyi took a boat to the north, and the consequences were too serious, and he had to take precautions in advance.
"Cardinal, you are too worried, just with only tens of thousands of southern barbarian troops, you dare to disturb Shangjing?" Yelu Aman didn't take Yelu Hugo's words seriously at all.
Since going south, the leather room army has been invincible, invincible, invincible, and threatening the southern barbarians.
Yelu Hugo looked at his arrogant old subordinates, and couldn't help but remind: "Our middle route army, nearly 40,000 invincible grassland warriors, but all of them were killed by Li Zhongyi, the southern barbarian, and there was no armor left. ”
"Damn the Southern Barbarians!" Although Yelu Aman has always been extremely arrogant, but in the face of Yelu Hugo, who has a brilliant record, he lacks confidence after all.
What's more, Yelu Hugo has always treated him very well, he set troops around to "fight grass valley", and Yelu Hugo only fined 200 sheep, and did not really treat him well.
How can people be ruthless? Although Yelu Aman is a reckless man, he also knows how to repay the favor, so after being warned by Yelu Hugh, he muttered a few words in a low voice and closed his mouth.
"What a powerful Li Zhongyi!" Brother Yelu endured and endured, and finally let out a helpless sigh.
Yelu Huge's light troops went south, in fact, what he fought was to contain Li Zhongyi, force him to go south, and then gather and annihilate him.
Because there were many people in the Great Zhou court who were afraid of the Khitan people's military prestige, Yelu Xiuge could often receive all kinds of inside information.
However, Li Zhongyi is a guy who does not play cards according to common sense, his wife and children are all in Kaifeng City, but as if no one is fine, he actually smoked cold and annihilated the middle route army arranged by Yelu Xiuge on the front line of Zhaozhou.
Although Yelu Hugo had the intention of using Li Zhongyi to consume these half-hearted guys, he didn't expect that Li Zhongyi's appetite was so big and his movements were unusually violent.
It was precisely because Li Zhongyi ate the Khitan army's middle route army that Yelu Hugo was forced to return north and seek a decisive battle with Li Zhongyi.
After all, Yelu Hugo only brought more than 10,000 elite leather room troops, which was more than enough to attack Kaifeng City. If you want to break through the city, it is simply a whimsical and impossible thing to do.
"Whew!" Brother Yelu Hugh let out a long breath of turbidity, and facing Li Zhongyi, who was slippery, his head felt for the first time, a deep sense of powerlessness.
Huang Shuiyang, that is the most feared mystery of the steppe warriors who dominate on land, Li Zhongyi is close at hand, but Yelu Huge has no way to prevent this southern barbarian commander from killing the hinterland of the Khitans again.
It is impossible for Yelu Huge to remember that last time, Li Zhongyi broke several cities east of Yuguan, and even took Princess Yelu to the south, which provoked the sleeping emperor, who had always been lazy in government affairs, to be furious and killed several ministers for no reason.
If Li Zhongyi is allowed to stir up a bloody sea in the eastern region of the Khitan Kingdom again, God knows what will happen?
Li Zhongyi's fleet marched northward, but because they were all civilian ships and merchant ships, not special sea ships, the speed of sailing was much slower than that of the sailors of the Great Zhou.
On the way, after capsizing more than a dozen small fishing boats, Li Zhongyi made up his mind and ordered people to use gangplanks and iron chains to fix the two fishing boats together to form a stable structure with two hulls, thus increasing the wave resistance of the small fishing boats.
I think back then, Cao Apu used this trick in the Battle of Chibi. It's a pity that the ambition to unify the whole country was extinguished by a fire.
Now, the Khitans can only sigh at Li Zhongyi's huge fleet, and there is nothing to be done, Li Zhongyi is very relieved!
Li Zhongyi calculated very clearly that after the Khitans lost nearly 40,000 elites of the Middle Route Army, they had actually lost their strong momentum to continue their southward advance.
In this way, Brother Yelu Xiu can only be led by Li Zhongyi's nose, and he can't create more trouble for Da Zhou!
"Report to the marshal, the forward battalion found a merchant ship with suspicious traces, and when the ship saw the large army fleet, it kept sailing to the open sea, and refused to listen to any shouting, so it chased after it and caught it." The envoy sent by the sentinel battalion reported a very interesting thing to Li Zhongyi.
"Oh, bring them all to me." Li Zhongyi raised his eyebrows and coldly ordered. (To be continued.) )
