Tell Li Youde to be careful and not to fall into any tricks to lure the enemy. Li Guorui hesitated for a moment and said: "I estimate that the main force of the Donghu Army has passed through Yushui, and it is upstream of us, and its sentry cavalry is scattered, so we can't reconnoitre, and the more this is the case, the more we can conclude this." If it comes to attack, it will not leave without a fight when it has completed its camp and set up its array within three to five days. In the place where the former army is located, it should be used to fortify the barracks, erect arrow towers, release horses, antlers, dig trenches, and use all the means that can be used, and must not be taken lightly. If this battle can be refused, not only me, but also you, Captain Yue, Li Youde, and Mai Jitong, can be knighted within the year. ”

The Han people take the marquis as the highest goal, the flying general Li Guang experienced the horse, which was originally from a big family, Li Guang served as two thousand stones, there is no lack of status and money, but the most valuable thing for the Han people is the marquis, the Qin and Han dynasties are roughly the same, from the civil lord of the several ranks, to the equivalent of the official Gao Jue, and finally to the Guannei Marquis, the Marquis of Che, and finally to the apex of the military merit award.

The title of the Great Wei is progressed from the nine products, divided into civil and military, and the Taiwei is the apex for the martial arts, and the literati take the teacher as the goal of their life, regardless of civil and military, and the knighthood is always the ultimate goal of the people.

There was a faint worry in the depths of Yue Zhi's eyes, the things in front of him seemed to be promising, but in fact they were still full of holes, like playing chess, one step had passed, and he always felt that he was not very good in his heart, and it seemed that the situation was good, but the enemy had a backhand, and his side was suddenly clumsy step by step, unable to continue.

But Yue Zhi also knew that Li Guorui had done his best, even if he had something to worry about, Li Guorui had no choice, and it was better not to say it if he said it.

The sun is about to set in front of you, the mountains are like the sea, the soldiers, the people are like waves between the river and the mountains, there is a whistling of people in the distance, and the sound of cannons, and there is a faint sound of thunder when the horses run, because the horses are too dense and too dense, although people feel the ground is shaking slightly from afar, it is conceivable how many war horses will run together to have such a momentum.

Yue Zhi's expression remained unchanged and said, "The main force of the Donghu people has gathered. ”

Li Guorui didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

……

"Nothing can be deployed." Yelushu was a little ashamed and said to Chechen Khan: "It's my fault, I hesitated a little, the Wei army is very sharp, and in a hurry, I am not willing to take Erlang's life to fill in and fight." As soon as he retreated, the Wei army Yushui and Jinzhou were filled by its main force and joined into one, and now it seems that it is even more difficult to attack, I am guilty, and I should ask the Great Khan for guilt. ”

Wanyan Zongshu, Wanyan De, Yelushu and other Yan were all sitting cross-legged in the big tent, and more than 20 officials of 10,000 households knelt beside them in a row, and in the middle was the fat and tall Chechen Khan.

It was dark, and there were pits dug in the tent, and bonfires were burning, and a freshly skinned pig was burning on the iron frame, and the soup was boiling, and the smell was waving in the tent.

In the afternoon, Chechen Khan rushed to the northeast of Jinzhou less than ten miles, the soldiers thundered with joy, tens of thousands of knights surrounded the Great Khan to watch the battlefield situation under the city of Jinzhou, the Wei army fired artillery in succession, when the sky was not dark, the artillery fire everywhere emitted an orange light when it was fired, one after another, it was magnificent.

Chechen Khan was silent from beginning to end, but those who knew him well knew that the Great Khan was in a bad mood.

When it was deployed before, it was to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Wei army under the city of Jinzhou, and it must be cut off

The liaison between Jinzhou and Yushui City, and then dig a long trench to isolate the main force of the Wei army, annihilate the Wei army under Yushui City in a battle, and then go down to Jinzhou, which has been almost built, so that you can win a complete victory.

Who expected that the people led by Yelushu had just crossed the Chongqing River, and met the Wei army in a hurry, and the Wei army almost came back to the water for a while, plus Xu Yi was rewarded, so the sharpness was very strong, and because of the lack of battlefield space, it was not conducive to the cavalry riding horses and running roundabouts, and the tactics used by the Donghu army could not be used at all, so as soon as the two armies contacted each other, the Donghu army announced that it would not support, and then retreated continuously, fortunately, the array was not chaotic when the Donghu army retreated, and the Wei army failed to succeed.

After that, the main forces of Wanyan and the main forces arrived one after another, and as soon as Chechen Khan arrived at this time, the main force of the Donghu army was completely assembled, and there were still a large number of slave army strong men crossing the river on the side of Yushui, helping the army to camp and settle down.

There are several long bases isolated by moats between the Donghu army and the Wei army, the long gate camp looks thin, but generally there are trenches as the outer barrier, and there are a large number of defense facilities such as rejecting horses, antlers, etc., Jinzhou City has just been cast, it is rammed earth to build a plate, and you can smell the smell of mud and grass, there is no even a piece of city bricks, the city head is just a whole, and the city wall arrow tower is not at all. But even with such a simple city wall, the Wei army is now unable to attack the fortifications, Jinzhou City has only been built for about five miles, and there are more than 20,000 people stationed in the city, and the Donghu army does not have 100,000 people carrying a large number of siege equipment to attack day and night, and it is impossible to fight it down.

At this time, the situation of the Donghu army is quite embarrassing, and it cannot uproot Jinzhou and Yushui two cities, even if the Wei army loses successive battles in the next field battle, but as long as the Wei army holds the position in front of it, it will win the whole city, and even lose Jinzhou, and hold the forts of Yushui and Songta, which can still be regarded as the victory of the Wei army......

The meat in the soup has been boiled to a thin extent, taken out by the guards and placed on the plate in front of Chechen Khan's eyes, in addition to the aroma of meat, there is also a faint fishy smell in the tent, this is the practice of Donghu people to eat meat, no spices, there is no cooking means, it is to cook the meat with water, it is considered a great success.

Chechen sweated silently, only pulled out the knife on his waist and came out, and then cut a piece by himself, put it in his mouth and chewed.

The rest of the Nayan pulled out knives to cut meat one after another, and then thousands of households used knives to cut meat one after another.

Everyone cut the meat one after another, there was only the sound of chewing in the tent for a while, everyone ate very sweet, these Donghu people were not strong when they were young, even the children of the nobles had to fish and hunt to supplement the meat, the harvest of fishing and hunting was quite unstable, and it was only a luxury to eat meat normally.

Chechen Khan's appetite was quite large, he kept cutting meat with a silver knife, until he ate three or four catties of stomach, then picked up a towel to wipe the knife clean, then withdrew the scabbard, and then slowly wiped his mouth with a towel.

Seeing this, everyone also hurriedly put away their knives, and after collecting the knives, they all looked at Da Khan, waiting for Yan Hong to speak.

"This time the front is unfavorable, and we have been confronting the Wei people for a long time, and we are a little tired after all." Chechen Khan looked at many faces, Wan Hu, and said lightly: "Yelushu doesn't need to be heavily punished, just fine five pure color horses." ”

Yelushu hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Xie Dahan is magnanimous. ”

The punishment of the nobles of Donghu has always been like this, punishing horses or a number of bows and arrows and armor, and filling them into the public middle school, so that the punishment received can enrich the public middle school and increase the combat power of the palace tent army.

The fine of five horses is indeed insignificant

Dao's light punishment, originally Yelushu thought that he would be punished with a rod, or fined more than 100 horses, even if he was punished with his face, hundreds or thousands of war horses would be punished, and he would be very distressed.

Chechen Khan said: "This war is related to the life and death of my tribe, and this layer must be known to the clansmen. If the various departments still have the intention of preserving their strength and are unwilling to really call the soldiers to death, this battle must be lost. If this battle fails, if I, Donghu and the others, are added a solid chain by the Great Wei, we can only sit in Liaozhou and wait for death. If the Wei people regain their strength, cross the Yushui Liao River, and wipe out our country, it will only be a matter of ten years. In this battle, from me to Ge Nayan, and then to the palace tent army, all the front, middle, left and right departments have to attack with their dead strength. A few days ago, the defeated army captured all the commanders above the ten commanders and the thousand-commanders, and beheaded them in front of the army, and affirmed my intention at this time, and encouraged the soldiers of the whole clan to sacrifice their lives and forget death. ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring, knowing the meaning of the Great Khan, which could be regarded as confirming that the situation of the war was unfavorable at this time.

Before the confrontation between Li Guorui and Donghu Tiecai, the two sides confronted each other for half a year, although Wei was greatly injured by the dragged vitality and could no longer support it, with Donghu's national strength, how could it be much stronger than Great Wei? The army has been preparing for war at the front for a long time, and the amount of grain, grass and ordnance consumed is astronomical, and its treasury has long been empty. There is also a serious shortage of strong labor among the people, and next year they will face an even more severe situation, with millions of tribes and hundreds of thousands of slaves starving to death by at least two to three percent.

Changing the Great Wei means that this battle will be fought at the cost of killing more than 10 million people!

For Great Wei, this is obviously impossible, and the apportionment of various roads is already full of complaints and difficult to maintain, which is also the reason why the Son of Heaven and the two governments decided to fight a decisive battle in advance.

In Donghu, even if half of the clan members died, as long as the Great Khan and many nobles were determined to do so, the clan members would only suffer silently and would never resist.

This is the difference between a highly developed agricultural civilization and a relatively barbaric fishing and hunting tribal civilization, and a developed civilization often falls into an embarrassing situation and situation for the barbaric tribes, and even fails miserably, because the civilization has not developed to a certain extent, the organization and use of the armies of both sides, as well as the expenditure and use of national strength, and even the cruel treatment and oppression of the people and the people, are often civilization inferior to barbarism.

At this time, many Na Yan Ju have no objection to the decision of the Great Khan, if in normal times, to kill so many outstanding military attachés, it will seriously weaken the strength of a certain department, and may cause quarrels and open and secret fights, but at this moment, the life and death of the entire tribe is involved, not only the Na Yan of the Wan Yan family will support, but the ten thousand households present do not distinguish between Wan Yan Yelu, it is estimated that most of them are on the side of the Great Khan. In this way, there is no point in opposing it.

Yelushu invited himself to arrest and imprison people, and Chechen Khan nodded and said, "It's good for you to do this, so that your face will not be looked down upon." ”

Most of the people who want to be killed are Yelushu's people, if Yelushu does not come forward, the people in the tribe will only think that Yelushu is also controlled by the Great Khan.

The sky outside the tent gradually darkened, it was almost dark, after the Yelu Shu out of the tent was to arrest people, the defeated army was originally guarded in one place, at this time the Great Khan also sent more than a hundred messengers, all of them were loud palace guards, many guards galloped in the army, the Great Khan's edict was loudly preached again.
