Li Zhongyi didn't need to care about the war between women, after he finished breakfast, he sat for about a quarter of an hour, drank a few sips of hot tea, and then left the big tent of the Chinese army and walked slowly to the tent of the Senate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a traditional Chinese medicine of the two worlds, Li Zhongyi naturally understands the way of health preservation, and should not move immediately after eating, but should rest for about half an hour, and then take a slow walk, this exercise method is very good for physical health.

"Ling Shuai, according to the secret report brought back by the sentinel, after the soldiers and horses of Youzhou left the city, the speed of their march was very slow, less than thirty miles a day." He Dabei, the left senator of the Senate Division, hurriedly came to Li Zhongyi with a stack of materials, "The last general thinks that there must be fraud in it." ”

Li Zhongyi took the material, read it carefully while slipping around, and then raised his eyes and asked He Dabei: "Where is the fraud?" ”

"It stands to reason that after our army takes Yingzhou and Yuguan, the Khitans should be very anxious, so that they will not march so slowly." He Dabei analyzed, "After the deliberations of the colleagues in the Senate Department, everyone unanimously agreed that the enemy army is probably mobilizing heavy troops and wants to swallow our army in one bite. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded with a smile, the Khitan people in their heyday could never swallow the bitter fruit of losing their teacher and land.

So the problem is, since the Khitans in Youzhou have moved, but they are moving so slowly, hehe, they must be waiting for reinforcements from all walks of life.

"Right Pavilion, Brother Yelu Hugh is coming soon." Li Zhongyi turned around, stared at the direction of the Central Plains for a while, and made a conclusion lightly, "If my expectations are correct, Yelu Huge's elite cavalry troops are probably less than two days away from us." ”

"What the marshal said is very true, fortunately, the Senate Department has made a plan in advance according to your instructions, otherwise, the trouble will be big." He Dabei admired Li Zhongyi's foresight very much, and nodded frequently.

Li Zhongyi smiled faintly and said: "The reason is obvious, our army went deep into the Khitan border, and the purpose was to divert the tiger from the mountain. Today's Khitan State suffers from two disasters: one is the rebellion of the Wugu people, and the other is that our army seriously threatens Youzhou. Compared with being able to go south to fight the grass valley anytime and anywhere, the Khitans could not afford the serious consequences of losing Youzhou. Therefore, I expected that even if Yelu Hugo saw through and wanted to transfer him north, he would have to return north. ”

He Dabei just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Zhongyi waving his hand, and he asked He Dabei: "How is the progress of rushing to transport the craftsmen, materials and prisoners of war to Yuguan?" ”

"Yu Lingshuai, after we took Yuguan and Yingzhou, there was nothing else, the war horses, the horses and the huge Xi chariot really helped a lot." He Dabei said with a smile, "Yingzhou is not far from Yuguan, and after a day and a night of going back and forth, seventy percent of the established tasks have been completed. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded with a smile, Xi Che is indeed a good thing, the captured Khitan women can fit as many as thirty people in one car.

Yingzhou plus Yuguan's Xi car can come in handy, a total of 500 vehicles. In other words, nearly 10,000 Khitan male and female slaves in Yingzhou City only need one transportation to reach Yuguan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the transportation volume is much richer.

"Lingshuai, there is just a problem, we have too many live cattle and live sheep. If you want to rush all to Yuguan, I am afraid that it will delay the big event, and the final general thinks that it is better to slaughter more than half of the sheep, salt them, and load them away. ”

He Dabei is a typical native of Lingzhou in the northwest, but he has no less dealings with the party people, and when the grassland people are fighting, he is extremely impressed by the good habit of driving cattle and sheep to march together.

Li Zhongyi was obviously aware of He Dabei's regrets, but the Li Jiajun, which was dominated by infantry troops, had less than 3,000 party cavalry troops, and it was really impossible to divide the precious living assault force to do the secondary work of herding cattle.

"Alas, it's a pity, the size of the cattle is too large, otherwise, they will all be loaded and brought back to the south, and they will definitely be sold for a good price." He Dabei sighed repeatedly, the Central Plains lacks cultivated cattle, this is a fact that fools know.

Li Zhongyi comforted He Dabei with a smile: "Since we have a ship, the situation of strategic confrontation between us and the Khitans has undergone amazing changes, and the offensive and defensive trends are completely different. In the past, China could only sit back and watch the Khitans break through the border and go south, but now, the Khitan people's Tokyo Road, Nanjing Road, and even Zhongjing Road are facing a huge threat to the integration of land and water in our Great Zhou. The huge rear hinterland has suddenly become the front line of the war, and if the Khitan doesn't want to suffer from the enemy on its back, it needs to divide at least more than 200,000 elite soldiers, right? ”

He Dabei actually understands this truth very well, but he understood the crooked theory of robbery advocated by Li Zhongyi very early: If you don't rob for nothing, if you grab a good thing, your strength will be weaker by a few points.

"Hehe, even if the Khitans divide 200,000 people to guard Tokyo Road and Nanjing Road, it will be difficult to prevent our army from advancing by land and water, and the sudden attack will be impossible to prevent." He Dabei's analysis made Li Zhongyi smile slightly.

In the two Opium Wars, the army sent by the British was not strong, and the weapons were not advanced. However, with a powerful fleet that is unparalleled in the world, the super mobility of the British army strategically ensured that the battlefield would inevitably be the result of the free choice of the British.

This meant that the British had the ability to put themselves in the best strategic position to concentrate superior forces and strike at the weak Qing army.

In this way, even if the Qing Dynasty had nearly one million Green Battalion soldiers and Eight Banner soldiers, they could only be beaten everywhere and were unable to take effective counterattacks.

After several years of military training, Li Zhongyi, whose military thinking has become increasingly mature, profoundly realized that the British army that crossed the sea was, in essence, the "sea Huns" that the Qing Dynasty was unable to deal with.

The high mobility brought by war horses, as well as the high assault ability, have always been the most important strategic resources for the northern steppe peoples, including the Khitans, to threaten the regime in the southern Central Plains.

The commonality of the logic of war determines that the warship on which the British army is riding, and the cannons carried on the ship, are actually equivalent to the war horses and war bows under the crotch of the Khitans.

This time, Li Zhongyi went north into the hinterland of the Khitans, and all he collected were merchant ships and fishing boats that could not sail on the ocean for a long time.

Once Li Zhongyi grasps the military and political power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it takes a few years to build a large number of naval warships with real maritime strength, and train tens of thousands of naval soldiers and horses, hehe, the Khitans will never be at peace!

He Dabei obviously also saw this layer, he leaned over to Li Zhongyi's side, and asked in a low voice: "Master, our Li family sailor, when can it be completed?" ”

How could Li Zhongyi not know He Dabei's little abacus, he raised his leg angrily, kicked He Dabei's ass, and scolded softly: "Don't you get out of here?" As long as there is one less big car, carefully skinned you. ”

He Dabei patted his buttocks and walked away with a smile, and the tooth soldiers on the side looked at He Dabei's back with envy, in the Li family's army, there are only a handful of generals who are qualified to be kicked by Li Zhongyi. (To be continued.) )
