Chapter 182: Confrontation

Yelu Tart's army hurried all the way, through the grassland, through the Yan Mountain, and finally crossed the Juyong Pass on the appointed day and came to the city of Nanjing. More than 200,000 horsemen and muskets were bright, scorching and shining under the sun, and the black military flags covering the suburbs of Nanjing were reflected in each other, showing the murderous aura in the solemn majesty.

On the way to the march, Yelu Tzulie, the king of the Southern Courtyard and the political affairs order, constantly received military reports from Xiao Siwen who stayed in Nanjing. Of course, he himself also sent scouts to carefully search the area around Yanshan. It was the first time for Yelu Tarlie to control such a large number of troops, and to be in charge of such a big battle that was important to the overall situation, of course, he himself was extremely careful. What's more, compared with the previous Khitan generals, Yelu Tart Lie also faced a new situation: the Zhou army had elite cavalry troops. Moreover, in Xiao Siwen's original words, it is that its elite is no less than the leather room army (Yelu Deguang selected elite soldiers from various tribes to form it).

Harassment and attacking, these Khitans' forte are no longer their unique means. The Khitan army could naturally take shortcuts and take small roads south to cut off the grain and grass of the Zhou army as usual, but in the same way, the cavalry units of the Zhou army could also harass the rear of the Khitan. It's just that because the Khitan tradition is to "beat grass valleys", it is basically impossible to cut off the grain and grass of the Khitan. However, you are always dangling behind the buttocks of the Khitans, like someone holding a big mallet around the back of your head, maybe nothing is for you all at once, and no one can stand it. So, the Khitans are also afraid of a fire in the backyard, isn't it?

When he arrived in the city of Nanjing, Yelu Tzulie did not care about resting and immediately called a meeting of the military generals. Of course, he couldn't rest. This time, he was able to command the army, to a greater extent, relying on the support of Emperor Yelujing, and was not recognized by the military and courtiers. What's more, the people of the high faction were full of worries about Yelu Tart. This time, he came with the army to the Privy Envoy of the Northern Court, Yelu Qu Lisi, nominally to assist himself, but in fact he was a backup of himself, and he could replace him at any time. Therefore, while being cautious, Yelu Tart Lie also desperately hoped that he could grasp the fighter, completely defeat the enemy, establish meritorious deeds, and subdue the doubts of the government and the opposition about him.

"General Xiao, please inform everyone of the recent activities of the Zhou army." The hall of Nanjing's left-behind mansion became a temporary tent for the Khitan army, and Yelu Tzulie said to Xiao Siwen.

"Yes!" Xiao Siwen respectfully saluted Yelu Tart Lie and said, "Returning to the commander, generals." Since the twentieth day of April, the Zhou army divided into two routes, suddenly attacked Yijin Pass and Qingzhou City has been Waqiao Pass, and took two passes the next day, and at the same time coerced the guards of Sikou Pass to surrender, so far, completely cut off the passage of Mozhou, Yingzhou and Nanjing, and in the next three days, Mozhou and Yingzhou gathered together to surrender. The next day, the Zhou army quickly marched north and surrounded Zhuozhou. Seven days later, the city of Zhuozhou was broken. After that, the forward of the Zhou army moved to the area of Liangxiang, and its main force should still be in Zhuozhou! ”

Yelu District Li Si snorted coldly and said: "It should still be there, you have been in Nanjing for so many days, sitting and watching Mozhou, Yingzhou, and Zhuozhou fall one by one, and you haven't taken any active countermeasures, I really don't know how you deserve to stay in Nanjing!" Even if you don't move, you'll always send some scouts to scout, how can you say you don't know anything about it? ”

Xiao Siwen was not surprised at all by the reproach of the deputy marshal of Yelu District. After all, he is not from the same faction as himself, and in this case, it is the responsibility of Jerutrith to show the meaning of his existence. If he didn't say anything, everyone would focus on where Yelu Tart Lie was, wouldn't it be easy for Ye Lu Tart Lie to control the military power. Although Yelu Tarlie is the commander and is fully responsible for the entire military operation, the emperor did not say that he Yelu Lisi could not speak, so he could not put on a score.

Yelu sneered and said, "General Ou Lisi, you can't blame Lord Xiao for this. You don't know. Three days ago, the Zhou army suddenly expanded the reconnaissance area, starting from Zhuozhou and continuing to the seashore, there were troops of the Zhou army. This made our army scouts suffer great losses and lost their grasp of the actions of the Zhou army. ”

Xiao Siwen was a little afraid of the veteran Yelu District, but Yelu was not afraid at all. Why wasn't he afraid? It's not because he is a royal relative, but he is also a relative of the imperial family who is not in five suits, and this person has been on the battlefield for a long time, and in the era when famous generals are withering and aging, he is already standing out and rare (looking at the adjectives). is also a pivotal figure in the army, and he can't catch up with his prestige, strength, and thorns. However, Lisi in Yelu District has a little hobby, and likes silk products and wood carving crafts in Jiangnan. What lake silk quilts, Xiangjin bed sheets, Tongbai Mountain's tung wood carved bed, Jinhua Mountain's old pear wood branded tables and chairs, as well as Suzhou's ** knitted papa, Hangzhou's Tao Ji carmine. According to the grapevine, it's not that Ou Lisi likes these things, you think, he is a big man, he is from a clean background, and he has never been to the Oriental island country, nor has he traveled to Southeast Asia. How can you like carmine. It is said that this is the hobby of the fifteenth concubine of the elder brother in the district. This little vixen fascinated the old brother of Ou Lisi, as long as this chick can think of it, Ou Lisi can do it, then what you want to give what.

But the things that this chick likes are all southern goods, and many of them are southern goods that need to be customized. In the entire Khitan country, the maritime trade was actually monopolized by Yelu Thorn (of course, this kid did not pay tribute to Yelu Jing and Yelu Tart), and the district thought that if you want the exquisite handicrafts of the Chu State, you must go to Yelu Thorn. Fortunately, this Yelu Thorn is different from Yelu Tart, and he does not have such a strong patriotism, such a strong sense of responsibility, such a strong sense of mission, such a strong sense of urgency, and such a strong factional concept. Yelu was willing to make friends with anyone, so the two became in a relationship. Although Yelu didn't ask Brother Ou Lisi for money, Ou Lisi always felt that he owed Yelu Tuji. Besides, Yelu Thorn is doing a monopoly industry, unless Yelu Thorn completely falls, Ou Lisi will not dare to turn his face with Yelu Thorn.

Looking at Yelu's spurt-grinning appearance, Ou Lisi couldn't wait to kick him to the ground, and then... And then hit it hard. However, thinking about it in his heart, he had to soften his tone and said, "I heard that Xiao Dilie was killed. What's going on! Xiao Siwen, when the Zhou army went north, you didn't go out to support Mozhou and Yingzhou, and when Zhuozhou was trapped, you didn't send troops to rescue, but why did you send a sigh of relief when the Zhou army captured Zhuozhou, you actually sent Xiao Dilie's army just right, hehe, you are really a generation of famous generals! ”

Although the accountability just now was dispelled by Yelu's stab, he didn't expect Yelu District Lisi to change his words and ask more damning words. The subtext is obvious: Yelu Lisi suspects Xiao Siwen of collaborating with the enemy.

Will Siwen be a collaborator? As long as his brain is normal, he doesn't think about it anymore. First, although Xiao Siwen is not surnamed Yelu, he is indeed a Khitan with good roots, and he is also a national relative. His daughter is Princess Yan, who is also the de facto crown princess. He himself is a backbone member of Yelu Tartlie's faction, and he is very trusted by Yelu Tartlie, so how can he be willing to cooperate with the enemy in this situation? What benefit can he gain by collaborating with the enemy?

Yelu Tzulie smiled slightly and said: "General Ou Lisi, the Zhou army of 300,000 people invaded, Shannan was shaken, and there were only 30,000 horses in Nanjing, and our army was far away in Shangjing. As the saying goes: internal instability, no external reinforcements. In this case, if it is a general, I wonder how the general should deal with it? ”

Yelu Tart Lie smiled and glanced at Yelu District Lisi, but he didn't wait for Yelu Tart Lie to speak: "If you send troops, then how can Nanjing City be defended?" After all, on the day the Zhou army went north, the people were panicked, and the people in Shannan were different from my Khitan habits, so it was difficult to convince them; Out of the city, the Zhou army is powerful, like a drop in the bucket, not to mention that after leaving Nanjing City, if there is a change in Nanjing, the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures will not return to my Khitan! From this point of view, General Xiao's stubborn defense of Nanjing City was actually the only correct choice in this extremely unfavorable situation. ”

Yelu Lisi snorted and said, "The right choice made our army's fierce general Xiao Enemy and died in ambush." If it's not correct, I don't know what kind of thing is going to happen! ”

Yelu Tart's heart was on fire, and this Yelu District thought that it was really hateful. Xiao Siwen sat back and watched the loss of Mozhou, Yingzhou, and Zhuozhou, which can be explained and can be considered the right choice; So when the Khitan army was about to come, it was absolutely wrong to send Xiao Dilie. However, if you don't defend Xiao Siwen, according to Ou Lisi's words, Xiao Siwen will inevitably take his post and go to prison, but to defend Xiao Siwen, this is indeed a defeat, and no matter what, "defeat" cannot be said to be "victory".

So, Yelu Lie coughed and said, "General Yelu." At the moment of the great enemy, everything is focused on the overall situation and national affairs! Solidarity and bloody fighting is the way to win. The confrontation between the two armies is the time to employ people, so let's discuss how to deal with the Zhou army. The country has raised troops for a thousand days, and it is used today, and I hope that all the generals will do their best to go to the soup for my Khitan! Only in this way can we live up to the emperor's grace! ”

Yelu Tart's words were stern and his expression was excited. But with such a performance, the topic was easily transferred, so that Yelu Qu Lisi could no longer pursue it, if Ou Lisi insisted on pursuing it, Yelu Tart Lie also said clearly: focus on the overall situation. Yelu Tart Lie can say the other way around: You are a veteran, and you still have no overall view, this... This is like a veteran who followed Emperor Taizong to fight the world? Anyway, if he thinks nonsense, Yelu Tart Lie will take him.

Yelu Lisi was not stupid, and sat down in a huff at the moment, and stopped talking.
