Chapter 17o Yijin Pass

Yeluxiu glanced around with satisfaction and said, "There are quite a few troops out of the city today, but the only people who are going in the direction of Changlu Town are Xiao Tianyou and their team back." ?? ? And according to Xiao Tianyou, they deliberately picked a remote road, so they accidentally appeared Zhou Jun. It seems that the Zhou army consciously strengthened the reconnaissance of the Changlu area. Presumably for the raid on Cheongju Castle. Now that the Zhou army is coming, let's talk about what we should do! ”

To tell the truth, the Khitans are indeed strong, but it also depends on who the opponent is, if it is a person from the Bohai Kingdom, it is naturally "taken" without discussion, but for the army of the Central Plains, these people really do not have so much confidence, and the Khitan and the Central Plains have been fighting for decades. Don't look at the chaos in the Central Plains, but the war with the Khitan is really unambiguous, there are mutual victories and defeats, and the Khitans basically didn't take advantage of anything (the sixteen states of Yanyun were not fought by the Khitans, and the Khitans only fought one state with great effort). Because of this, the Khitans also know the Central Plains, and generally use their mobility to avoid attacking fortified positions. But now it's different, it's the enemy who has come to the door, and there are quite a few of them.

"Have you ever seen what kind of banner Zhou Jun is fighting?" A black-faced general asked, looking at the style of his armor, it was a commander in the army.

Xiao Tianyou arched his hand again and said: "The flag is written with the word 'Li'. ”

"Lee?" Yelu Xiu took a look at it, and there were no Zhou generals surnamed Li in Taizhou, Dingzhou, and Cangzhou, which were handed over to the Khitan. Tai and Ding are subordinate to the Yiwu Jiedu envoy Shi Shouxin, and Cangzhou is under the rule of Murong Yanzhao, the Henghai Jiedu, both of whom are pseudo-Zhou generals, and Sun Xingyou is the envoy of the Chengde Jiedu to the south, and Han Tong is the envoy of the Anguo Jiedu, and there is no general surnamed Li in this area.

"Could it be that Zhou Guotianxiong made Li Chongjin?" Xiao Tianyou said unexpectedly.

"How so?" Jeruxiu asked kindly.

"The reason is simple, the person who can command an army of 50,000 is not simple. After a few weeks, it seems that only Li Chongjin has the surname 'Li'. Xiao Tianyou said bluntly, it seemed that he didn't expect to say this at all, it was very disrespectful to the deputy marshal Yeluxiu and the rest of the generals in the account.

Yeluxiu didn't look angry at all, he nodded, and said, "Everyone, when this guy Li Chongjin was in Daizhou, he also dealt with our Khitan. is quite famous, and last year he put Ma Yun on the Bianhe River. This guy isn't easy to deal with. ”

"Tell me, what do you have to do against the enemy?" Jeruthius asked.

"Marshal, our army is all cavalry, long-distance running, sprint decisive battle is our forte, but when it comes to defending the city, we are not good at it. This tent is full of our Khitans, to be honest, our main army is in the Shangjing area, and it is far away from here. Now that the enemy is outnumbered, once we are trapped in Cheongju City, it will be difficult for us to break through. According to the general's opinion, we might as well leave Cheongju City and swim outside the city, and give them a chance to do so. Let Wang Hong guard this Qingzhou City! Another tall man said with a grin.

What this person said still makes sense, but now that Xiao Dilie is not here, everything in this Qianhua army has to be borne by Yeluxiu. The Qianhua Army was stationed in Cheongju, and its responsibility was to protect Cheongju, so it was withdrawn, and it was called "going out of the city to find fighters", but once Cheongju was lost. Then, he must be in charge. The Khitan military law is strict, and he Yeluxiu can't afford this responsibility.

Yelu Xiu groaned and did not say anything, and his eyes looked at the black-faced commander, this black-faced man and tall man were fierce generals in the Qianhua army, and the attitudes of these two people had a great impact on the army.

The black-faced man shook his head and said, "Silla, are you kid afraid?" With such a bad idea, what if Cheongju City is lost? Marshal, looking at the appearance of the Zhou army, this is to suddenly attack our army. In that case, we might as well go out of town and give them a surprise attack. "Eight thousand against fifty thousand. The black-faced man made such a suggestion, definitely not a brain fever, or a fool. He has something to rely on, although the Qianhua army has only 8,000 people, but it is a cavalry unit, and it can always run if it can't be defeated.

"Xiao Tianyou, what do you think?" After listening to the black-faced man's words, Yeluxiu nodded, and actually asked Xiao Tianyou.

At this moment, the eyes of the Khitan generals in the room fell to the ground. What's going on? The deputy marshal didn't ask us generals who had been in a hundred battles, but asked such a low-level person, and this person is not very old, and it is estimated that he has only been in the army for more than a year. The Khitans are all straight, and Yeluxiu "despises" them so much that many people are a little angry on their faces.

Xiao Tianyou inadvertently became the focus of attention, but he didn't care. He smiled and arched his hand and said, "Dashuai." The last general heard about the cavalry and archery skills of the white-clothed army very early, and they were not much better than the brave Khitan warriors. Since the Zhou State wants a large army to raid us, why not use cavalry, but use slower infantry? ”

"This..." Yeluxiu was stunned, he swallowed dryly and spat at the mouth, to be honest, he Yeluxiu was in the Qianhua Army, in the entire Nanjing Dao, he may be regarded as a figure, but in Shangjing, in the entire Khitan Army, he can only be regarded as a middle-level leading cadre, or on the lower side. Naturally, his vision was not so broad, and his understanding of Zhou was very limited, so he said hesitantly: "Is it because the cavalry of Zhou has gone to Hexi." I heard that the Zhou State sent Zhao Kuangyin to the west and had already conquered Liangzhou City. ”

Yeluxiu's words made Xiao Tianyou pause, he thought about it, reorganized it, and said: "Since the establishment of the Zhou State, it has attached great importance to the cavalry, especially in the Battle of Bianjing, the cavalry from Chang'an to Bianjing only took one day and one night, and the Chu State was caught off guard. From that day on, the Zhou State spent a lot of effort to form cavalry. Since they understood the role of cavalry, how could they use all cavalry on the western expedition? ”

The generals in the tent are a little stupid, who is this? hung like this, and actually said that the deputy marshal Yeluxiu was stunned. Yeluxiu is not a good old man with a pleasant face, and he can still laugh now, which shows that this Xiao Tianyou is not small. However, the generals also admitted that there was nothing wrong with what Xiao Tianyou said. It was an era, although there was no theory that "eggs can't be put in the same basket", for such a harsh environment as the Zhou State, it was really impossible for Guo Rong to use all the cavalry for the westward expedition.

Since the Zhou State has come to attack us, then they must send cavalry. So where did their cavalry go? Although these people did not receive formal military education, they were all defeated one battle after another and accumulated rich experience. Now that I think about it carefully, someone immediately said: "Could it be that the cavalry of the Zhou army went straight to Yijin Pass?" ”

"What?" These words are Yeluxiu's turn to be nervous, this Yijin Pass is not trivial, it is the road from Qingzhou to Nanjing in the north after all, if Yijin Pass is lost, then he will be trapped in the south. Moreover, Yijin Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a rare defensive place in Hebei. If Yijin Pass is captured by the Zhou army, then it will be difficult to count on Khitan reinforcements. Of course, Khitan reinforcements could make a detour from Mozhou (present-day Renqiu, Hebei), but if Yijin Pass was lost, it would be questionable whether Mozhou could hold it.

"That... In your opinion, how should we deal with it? Yeluxiu didn't have time to play democracy now, so he looked at Xiao Tianyou and asked.

"The last general thinks that we should immediately send troops to Yijin Pass." Xiao Tianyou said.

"But if Zhou Guo didn't send troops to Yijin Pass, wouldn't we have run in vain, which would be a great blow to the morale of the army and morale!" The black-faced general said.

"Everything is up to the commander!" Xiao Tianyou didn't talk nonsense with the black-faced person, and said directly.

Now everyone's eyes are focused on Yeluxiu. Yeluxiu stood up and said, "Send the order down, immediately pull out the camp, and go to Yijin Pass!" ”

At this time, Yeluxiu had no choice but to gamble. As for Cheongju City, let Cheongju Assassin Wang Hongshou go. Anyway, isn't it the duty of the assassin to defend the city? Besides, although the Qianhua Army was stationed in Cheongju, it was not only in charge of Cheongju. Even if he was punished later, Jeruxiu felt that he still had a reason to defend himself. Besides, he still has hole cards, this Xiao Tianyou is not an ordinary person, he is the son of Xiao Siwen who stayed in Nanjing, and Xiao Siwen is a descendant and has a great influence in the Khitan. Anyway, this idea was made by his son, even if he has many sons, it is impossible to watch it and not save it.

Given such consideration, the Qianhua Army was mobilized. At this moment, Wang Hong, the assassin of Qingzhou, was extremely passive.

In the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Khitan people are the masters, and the Han people are the grandsons. The views of the two gang generals are extremely contradictory. In the past, when Yelu Deguang was alive, he used Zhao Yanshou of the Han nationality to manage the sixteen states of Yanyun and was named the king of Yan. It was a time when relations between the two communities were relatively harmonious. It's a pity that Zhao Yanshou, Yelu Deguang's godson, doesn't know what he thinks. Obviously, Yelu Deguang has sons and nephews, and this Zhao Yanshou is quite a crown prince. After Yelu Deguang died in the Central Plains, on the way to the Khitan army fleeing north in a hurry, Zhao Yanshou tried to take the opportunity to seize power and become the Khitan emperor (a bit whimsical), but was deceived and killed by the Vultures. From that day on, not only did the Wu want to not trust the Han generals very much, but even the ordinary Khitan high-ranking officials did not believe in the Han officials. Lu Buwei stole the Qin State, and he gave out a wife, you Zhao Yanshou is called a godfather, and you want to be the emperor of the Khitans, which is worth it.

Based on this consideration, the Khitans did everything possible to weaken the power of the Han generals in the sixteen states of Yanyun, and after Zhao Yanshou's death, the Han generals were already a little muttered in their hearts, and when they saw the Khitans doing this, they firmly grasped the military power. The gap between the two gangs is getting bigger and bigger. Just like the invasion of the Zhou Kingdom, such a big thing, Yeluxiu just came to discuss it with himself. When the troops were dispatched, they sent someone to inform Wang Hong. At this moment, Wang Hong was angry, scared and didn't know what to do.
