Chapter 191 was deceived

"Your Majesty, Gao Xun is an official in the Khitan Kingdom, and his position is not low, and he is a talented person of the younger generation of the Gao faction. I heard that this person is serious, loyal and honest, and he is also very useful in the hands of Yelujing. Using him as an envoy to negotiate can be regarded as a sign of sincerity from the perspective of official status. Wang Pu said on the side, but he immediately changed his words: "However, I heard that this person is very well-behaved and has good conduct." This has always been a stick-to-the-law and clumsy adaptation. Just now, when His Majesty mentioned that the Khitan catastrophe was coming, this person's face changed drastically, could it be a hint. General Zhao is in Beijing, and it is estimated that there is really a big trouble! ”

"Your Majesty, the king's observation is very meticulous. The minister also saw some problems from another aspect. Li Gu also said on the side.

"Oh, Li Xiang, tell me about it." Guo Rong said with a smile.

"Ever since the scout reported to Gao Xun for peace talks, the minister has been thinking. Why should the Khitans negotiate with us? More than 20 days ago, the Khitans swore in Shangjing that they would go south to fight to the death with our army. But why did he suddenly send a peace talk 20 days later, and it was still such a high-level peace talk? Li Gu asked.

"It's not hard to guess, it must have been General Zhao who gave the Khitans a hard blow in Shangjing. Let the Khitan people not be able to take care of the tail, and there is only one way to go, peace talks! Wang Pu said with a smile.

"If you were General Zhao and you ran thousands of miles and took Shangjing, what would you do?" Li Gu changed the topic and asked.

"This... Naturally... Wang Pu swallowed and foamed, the Great Zhou did not have the strength to completely destroy the Khitan, even if he killed the main force of the Khitan under Youzhou City, it was impossible to completely destroy the Khitan. After all, the Khitan still has 80,000 horses in the expedition, plus the armies of some tribes in the west and north, the Khitan people really want to run on the prairie like a happy child, and they can only drag the Zhou army down. In this case, it would be a joke to defend the capital. No matter how stupid Zhao Kuangyin is, it is impossible to defend the capital.

Thinking of this, Wang Pu said: "Naturally, he abandoned the city and left!" In the vast grassland, the enemy's military strength is extremely empty, and only by swimming out to attack can we achieve greater results! ”

"Well, abandon the city and leave, then, will you do anything to the capital before you leave?" Li Gu asked with a smile.

"What will you do?" Wang Pu was shocked, and his white face suddenly became even more pale, and there was no blood at all. Li Gu really hinted at him: General Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao will definitely not come gently, and go gently, waving his hand, without taking away a cloud. When he was alone and deep behind enemy lines, he would definitely not bring any gold, silver and jewelry, but chopping people and setting fires would definitely be commonplace! Who are the people who live in the capital! Due to the geographical location, Shangjing is definitely not the economic center of the Khitan, but it is definitely the political center of the Khitan. He really won't resist this dead man, but the dead are not alone, who doesn't have any relatives and friends, this... This time I have to make a big enmity with the Khitan! From then on, the Khitan and the Great Zhou are absolutely incompatible!

"But, but, why did the Khitans come to negotiate peace?" Wang Pu asked subconsciously.

Guo Rong clapped his palms and echoed: "Yes, this feud can be said to be incompatible." How could the Khitans negotiate peace in reverse? ”

It's nothing more than a "drag" word! Li Gu said categorically.

Guo Rong squinted his eyes slightly, thought about it carefully, and asked: "Li Aiqing, do you mean that the Khitans are clearly negotiating peace with us, and secretly preparing to send troops to fight back at Shangjing?" "Zhao Kuangyin's sneak attack on Shangjing, this was designed in advance. As for what Zhao Kuangyin would do after capturing Shangjing, even Wang Pu, who was alive in Zhuge Province, did not dare to plan for him. The enemy is not a computer program, and if you type "givememoney" wildly, you can basically be invincible in the world, Wang Pu can only guess what kind of screening the Khitan army will have, but he can't be sure which one the Khitan chooses. Even if he can guess what the reaction of the Khitans is, thousands of miles to attack Shangjing, how much his army has lost, how much the enemy has lost, and how many Khitan troops there are near Shangjing, these are all changing, if these are stipulated in advance, not to mention that Zhao Kuangyin will not do it, even Wang Pu himself thinks this is nonsense!

In this way, where is Zhao Kuangyin now, and what is he going to do? Should you continue to wander around Shangjing, or return the same way, or do you want to return to the area around Youzhou to prepare for the war? Guo Rong didn't know at all. The Khitans blockaded it too strictly.

Li Gu is also a person who knows the soldiers, but he was originally resolutely opposed to such a plan to run thousands of miles. Why, Li Gu is cautious in his use of soldiers, Wang Pu's plan is too crazy. At such a distance, what if the enemy shows up on the road? What should I do if I get lost? As a result, Zhao Kuangyin pushed Li Gu back with one sentence: It's easy to do, if you can't beat it, you can run, I am a cavalry and not an infantry!

But now, Zhao Kuangyin actually succeeded. Then, the whole situation changed, and Li Gu also became eager: "Your Majesty, General Zhao really mobilized the Khitans. Then the game is alive. ”

Since Yelu Tartlie's army arrived in Youzhou, the Zhou army and the Khitans have been fighting continuously, but the large-scale military expansion has not survived. However, through these small-scale battles, Li Gu gradually figured out the intentions of the Khitans.

Zhuozhou is very close to Youzhou City, but only a hundred miles away. It is west by the remnants of the West Mountain, the north is Fangshan, Liangxiang, there are mountains and water conservancy for infantry combat, and it is not conducive to cavalry combat, but in the east of Zhuozhou, Gu'an County (now Gu'an County, Hebei), Anci County (now Hebei Anci County West) is a horse and a flat river, which is conducive to cavalry combat. Yelu Tart Lie was in charge of the army for the first time, mainly with the word "stability", and at the beginning, he only sent people to reconnoiter in the area of Gu'an County. As the Khitans expanded their search area around Gu'an County, their strategic intentions were revealed.

This intention is exactly the same as Xiao Dilie a while ago, this kid wants to lead the army back to the flank of Zhuozhou, threaten the grain route of the Zhou army, force the Zhou army to leave the strong Zhuozhou city defense, and fight with the Khitan cavalry in the field.

Since the Khitan army has such a plan, mastering the strongholds of Gu'an County and Yongqing County is very crucial to maintaining the security of the Zhou army's flank. Li Gu suggested to Guo Rong many times that he divide his troops with Gu'an County, but Guo Rong refused. The reason for Guo Rong's refusal is also very simple, Guo Rong believes that Zhao Kuangyin will definitely be able to capture Shangjing and mobilize the Khitan army, and the five-meter-high city wall of Gu'an County is not a dangerous pass at all. So, he just had to wait for the right moment. If the troops are divided now, the enemy will surround Gu'an County. Is the army of Zhuozhou rescued, or did it not rescue? If you rescue, it will be a decisive battle for the main force, and if you don't rescue, the defenders of Gu'an will definitely not be able to hold it.

In the face of the huge temptation, Guo Rong calmed down instead, and he asked: "If the Khitans just secretly mobilized their troops to the north to rescue Shangjing, it would really be our chance." But... ”

"However, will the Khitans cheat?" Li Gu followed Guo Rong's words: "The minister thought that he had to guard against it. However, it is not without a chance to see whether the Khitans are cheating! ”

Wang Pu calculated a time account on the side, like Gao Mohan, he also felt that if the Khitans moved quickly, they would definitely be able to turn around within half a month: "Your Majesty, the time is only half a month." If the Khitans are allowed to return north, within half a month, can we capture Youzhou City? Can it sweep the sixteen states of Yanyun? I thought it was difficult. "Due to the change of Xiao Siwen and Yelu Tart's style, there was some relaxation between the Han generals and the Khitans, on the other hand, Yelu Tart Lie was also frequently transferred in the army, in addition to the Han generals who were very close to the Khitan, many of the Khitan Han generals had become rich men and stood aside. Those who are easy to rebel have no real power. Those who hold real power are not easy to rebel. And the centrists and wall-riding factions are all waiting and seeing. If you don't fight a good battle, it's hard to expect those Han generals to turn back.

"So, we can't let the Khitans return north!" Wang Pu said: "We want to take advantage of the unstable moment when the Khitan people return to the north to fight a decisive battle with the Khitans!" ”

"Wang Xiang's words are good, but he is a little anxious. Your Majesty, we are anxious to find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Khitans, and the Khitans want to fight with us even more. Let's let the Khitans return to the north, it is nothing more than a question of whether they can take Youzhou City, but the Khitans are not just a question of whether to lose Youzhou City. For us, what we have to consider is whether we can get Youzhou, but for the Khitans, they have to consider whether they will lose the entire Yanyun: once the Khitan army returns to the north, our military strength in the Yanyun area is unmatched. If they concentrate their forces in Youzhou, we can divide our troops to take Shuozhou and other places, and if they divide our troops, we can directly take Youzhou. Once Yanyun is lost, the Khitans will completely lose their geographical advantage if they want to fight a decisive battle with us. We don't have to worry about them. In this case, the Khitans would rather fight a decisive battle with us first than return north first, and then go south to fight us! Li Gu said.

"Li Aiqing, you mean, we have to drag it out?" Guo Rong asked with a smile.

"No, we have to grasp the specific time when the Khitans will return to the north, and when their front has gone north and the heart of the entire army is shaken, then we will suddenly press Youzhou and force the Khitans to fight a decisive battle with our army! The time of their return to the north is very important! Li Gu said.

The Khitan army is going north, and the Khitans who stay in Youzhou must be stubbornly defending, and within half a month, the Zhou army may break through Youzhou City? Youzhou City is not Gu'an County, I'm afraid this is very difficult! Once the division is under the old city, the belly and back will be attacked. Zhou Jun is in trouble!

"In the area of Youzhou, the Khitans are scouting all over the field, when they will retreat, I'm afraid it's hard for us to guess!" Wang Pu said hesitantly.

"Wang Xiang, this is not difficult, have you forgotten Gao Xun?" Li Gu said with a smile.
