The earliest record of Khitan in historical documents began in 389 A.D. (the period of the Two Jin Dynasty), and its range of activities was in the northeast and eastern part of Inner Mongolia. Eighty-one middle school?? Literature Network ?? In 628 A.D. (the second year of Zhenguan), the Khitan turned its back on the Turks and annexed to the Tang Dynasty, and then weakened with the increase of the Tang Dynasty's national strength, or rebelled or submitted. At the beginning of the Five Dynasties, Yelu Abaoji officially founded the Khitan State, and with the support of undesirable Han intellectuals, he formulated laws, created writing, and built the capital, and the Khitan rose in the northeast.

The Battle of Mayi, born on the 28th day of the Great Year, will be the most important festival in Han cultural traditions, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Whether it is the Jiangnan of the Yangtze River, the overwhelmed Central Plains, or the sixteen states of Yanyun struggling under the iron hooves of the Khitan, at the end of the year, the common people always have to put on new clothes, put up lights, and pray for a bumper harvest and good luck in the coming year.

Mayi, which has just been recovered, is also full of joy.

Guo Rong ordered that a part of the grain stored by the Khitan people in Mayi be taken out and distributed to the people in Mayi City who were short of food and clothing. On the other hand, he also rewarded the three armies in Mayi, where everyone had meat to eat and wine to drink. When he landed, the city of Mayi was full of joy. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, in order to let the soldiers who had worked the border have a comfortable and festive Chinese New Year's Eve, he also ordered people to hang red lanterns with a diameter of more than one meter at the four gates of the city in Mayi, and lanterns were also hung high on the main streets of the city. The city of Mayi is brightly lit, and you can see it from afar in the middle of the night, and you can feel the joy of the New Year.

The cultural habits of the Khitan were deeply influenced by the Central Plains, especially after Shi Jingjiao dedicated the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the people of insight in the Khitan also deliberately strengthened the connection in this regard. On the Chinese New Year's Eve of Han culture, the Khitans also agree, and they also want to have a happy New Year. If there is anything, it is not too late to wait for the New Year.

After dinner, Xiao Jin sat in the study of his mansion, picked up Sun Tzu's Art of War and looked at it carefully, and after a while, there was a rustling of footsteps in the courtyard, and a person said in a low voice: "Dashuai, the spies are back." ”

Xiao Jin put down the book and said, "Let him in." ”

After a while, I saw that the thick quilt was lifted by the curtain, and a cold wind was sandwiched with a few snowflakes, blowing head-on, Xiao Jin couldn't help but shiver, it was so cold outside! The curtain was opened, and a person flashed in, this man was burly, a bearded man, he was wearing an earthy yellow cotton coat, cotton boots under his feet, his face was blue, the tip of his nose and ears were red from the cold, his lips were a little chapped, he seemed to be shaking at the moment he first came in, he came into the study and walked two steps quickly, but as if his legs were paralyzed, it seemed to be a little limping, he arched his hands and half knelt and said: "General Yu... It has also been ascertained ... Ma Yi has been captured by the Jin army, and the whereabouts of General Yelu are unknown, so I am afraid that he has been poisoned... ”

"How is the city of Ma Yi now? Are the Jin soldiers going to prepare to escape? Xiao Jin asked in a deep voice.

"Handsome! The four gates of Mayi City are open, there are red lanterns hanging high at the four city gates, and there are Jin soldiers guarding the city towers, but most of them are drinking and chatting, Guo Rong is giving food to the people in the city, and the lights on the main street are brilliant, and there is a New Year's atmosphere. As soon as the sky was dark, the villain saw that the city gate was about to be closed, so he hurried out of the city. ”

Spring festival? Xiao Jinhuo stood up suddenly, he was a little enraged, my Khitan army is not far from Shuozhou, but you dare to be so arrogant under my nose.

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked." Xiao Jin couldn't help but think of the first sentence of Sun Tzu's Art of War, he looked at this scout carefully, he stammered when he spoke, his two teeth were still colliding up and down, he was fighting coldly, the hairs on his hands stood on end, and goosebumps appeared. Xiao Jin glanced up and down at the scout again, under the candlelight, his shoulders were shining, there was actually a thin layer of ice, and there was not much snow on it, presumably it was patted outside the door just now. The cotton boots on his feet were mixed with the snowflakes, and they were already semi-wet.

Since there was a report from the sergeant who fled from Ma Yi in the afternoon, Xiao Jin immediately realized that Ma Yi might not be safe, and he immediately sent scouts to investigate the situation, calculating that it should be two hours from these scouts to their return.

Xiao Jin's eyes rolled and asked, "How much time did it take you to go out of the city and return to the city?" ”

The scout was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the boss to take a cold breath, and asked such a question, he thought for a while, and said, "Less than two hours." ”

"The cotton clothes you are wearing, compared with the cotton clothes in the army, can it be warmer?"

"Ahh This. Both are about the same, both listen to the warm. "The scout is a little stupid, why is Dashuai Jing asking these questions today.

Xiao Jin stared at the scout tightly, as if he could see from his eyes that the truth of what he said was true. Watching the scout speak, the cotton clothes he wore were warmer than the ones in the army.

Xiao Jin, the Shuozhou guard general who got the Tanma report on the movements of the Jin troops, ignored the wind and snow, and was not afraid of the severe cold, personally climbed the Dongcheng Tower, and looked at it from a distance in the direction of Northeast Mayi. Goose feather snowflakes have been raining non-stop since the afternoon. In the dark winter night, under the light of the torch lanterns in the city, the thick layer of snow under the city reflected a faint yellow halo, and in the distance there was a dead silence, as if the giant beast had swallowed up the whole world, and the sound of the "whirring" wind was like its whimpering. Only in the extreme distance, as if there was a candle, in the wind and snow, flickering and dimming. It must be the city of Mayi.

He also came up on the road to check the snow, and the snow on the road was half a foot deep. Violent storms and snowstorms, freezing weather, and the snow on the official roads were not conducive to horses walking, and this kind of weather was by no means a good day for war.

Xiao Jin has been on the battlefield for a long time, and in his opinion, whether it is Guo Rong from Snake Valley County or the brave Zhao Kuangyin, these two people are in charge of the army for the first time, but they cannot be underestimated. When these two people arrived in the Snake Valley, they repeatedly defeated Yeluzhao, and today they even killed Yeluzhao. But now they are so bold, is there some conspiracy in this?

The Jin soldiers of Ma Yi actually celebrated the Spring Festival lively, for no more than two reasons, one is that the Jin soldiers thought that the weather was cold and the snow was fluttering and ignored the battle, and concluded that Shuozhou would not send troops; Second, it was the Jin soldiers who deliberately set up a negligent defensive game, waiting for Xiao Jin to send troops, and then the rising and falling soldiers suddenly attacked.

A thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Jin's heart, should you send troops to test the temptation? He couldn't help but reach out and touch the snow on the battlements of the city tower, the cedar was loose, but it was biting cold to the touch.

In this cold weather, the river water is frozen and solid, and if you spit casually, it will freeze into an ice lump after a while. Let the sergeant run from Shuozhou to Mayi, and I don't know what it will freeze into, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if you are under the city of Mayi, if you can't beat Mayi for two or three hours, what should you do? In this kind of weather, a thin person who stays in the wild for two or three hours may freeze to death. It's just that the Khitan soldiers are stronger, but after freezing for so long, no one can predict what will happen. Look at the scout just now, he just ran around outside for two hours, and he froze like that. In this battle, the soldiers of the main attack are better, and the soldiers who are in reserve will not freeze miserably...

Ma Yi took advantage of the snowy night to sneak attack Shuozhou? A thought flashed through Xiao Jin's mind. Did Guo Rong show that his defense was lax, so that our army thought that the Jin soldiers were busy celebrating the New Year, and he was also celebrating the New Year with joy? This is not unguarded.

Xiao Jin returned to the mansion accompanied by the generals, he solemnly looked around the hall, the generals of the Shuozhou army had already arrived, and he said without surprise: "General Xiao Yin, tonight handsome your front camp to defend the city." Red lanterns were also hung on the city tower, firecrackers were set off, and some of the battalion officers and soldiers were drawn to guard the situation outside the city in the arrow tower, and then some people were sent to chat loudly in the city tower. ”

"The rear battalion listens to the order, and tonight the battalion is on guard all night and ready to fight at any time."

"The left and right battalions are resting and ready to be on standby."

"Judge Shuozhou, immediately organize the people in the city, and hang red lanterns for me from house to house, we want to have fun with the people and celebrate the New Year together."

After a while, Shuozhou City also lit up.

On a snowy night, some people slept on the warm kang, some people were reading with lamps in their hands, and some people were holding guns and swords, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen from the cold, and they were scolding and scolding. But this night, apart from the whining wind and the heavy snow, nothing happened.

In the morning, the snow finally stopped, and the fields, rivers, mountains, trees, and rooftops were covered with thick snow, and the sky and the earth were all white.

In the afternoon, the sky was still cloudy, but the wind was gradually subsiding, and the weather seemed to warm up a little, the snow melted, and water droplets were dripping under the eaves. The sergeants on the upper floor of Mayi City were busy shoveling the snow.

Suddenly, there was a burst of "squeak! The voice came from the southwest, and when everyone was surprised, someone on the arrow tower shouted: "Close the city gate, the Khitans are coming." "The sergeant closes the door, the one with the arrow holds the arrow, and a great battle is coming. The Jin soldiers in the city were also full of war drums, but they didn't know that wolf smoke was actually released at the head of the city.

With the sound of the horn of "woo", the cavalry galloped, and they came to the city of Mayi, and did not attack, but took advantage of the situation to shoot arrows around the city and survey the defense of the four gates of Mayi.

After they finished their inspection, some of the cavalry dismounted and set up a ladder to begin the official siege of the city.

Because of the snow, I didn't feel much when I rode on a horse, so I walked down the ground, step by step, and the snow suddenly overflowed my shoes, and when I reached the middle of my calves, some of the shorter ones could actually reach the knees. In this kind of snow, it is difficult to walk, let alone fight. This group of cavalry amphibious troops, said to be a charge, but one step at a time, walked extremely slowly, and when they got closer to the city gate, they completely became the living handle of the Jin soldiers in Mayi City.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Jin immediately ordered the army to retreat, and the infantry turned into cavalry again, and continued to circle the horse. On the city tower, the Jin soldiers' swords and halberds are bright, the battle armor is gorgeous, the archery of archery, the gun is held, and the danger is not chaotic, obviously a picture of confidence. After a while, he saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the Khitans had just withdrawn not far away, and suddenly rushed out of a cavalry of the Great Jin Dynasty from the official road in Snake Valley County. The general of Nawei saw that the Khitans were not attacking the city but retreating, but he was taken aback, he hurriedly ordered people to wave the banner, and did not dare to chase the Khitan army, so he turned around 36o directly, where did he come from, and went back there.

Hehe, the Jin soldiers really have an ambush! They pretend to be easy, but they are a trick to lure the enemy.
