Chapter 214: A New Plan
From the moment the arrow in Li Zhen's hand fell, the slightest moan of pain could no longer be heard on this land, and the B Room Department was completely wiped out from the Khitan Eight Divisions. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't until near noon the next day that the originally vibrant B Chamber was forever reduced to a pile of charred ashes.
An hour later, the seven Khitan tribes were shocked, and the leaders of each tribe didn't even have time to put on their leather robes before rushing in the direction of the khan's tooth tent.
Khitan, south of Huangshui, north of Huanglong, Xianbei's hometown, 5,300 miles northeast of Beijing. It is bordered by Goryeo in the east, Xiguo in the west, Yingju in the south, and Murowei in the north.
Emperor Taizong set up the Songmo Governor's Mansion here in the 22nd year of Zhenguan, and took the Khitan Dahe Alliance Chang Gu Ge as the left leading general and the Songmo Governor, and gave the surname Li.
In the first year of Wu Cao's long live Tongtian, Li Quanzhong, the governor of Songmo, raised troops against the Tang Dynasty and invaded Hebei, claiming to be the supreme khan.
The empress was very angry, the consequences were very serious, Wu Cao did not forget that this Khitan general had been given the national surname, so the empress's first reaction was to change the name of Li Quanzhong to "Li Quanzhi", in order to express the strong anger in her heart, and then sent Zuo Ying Yangwei General Cao Renshi and other 28 generals to lead the army to quell the chaos, but they were all defeated by the Khitan, the Tang army nearly 500,000 male soldiers were lost, Wu Cao turned to the Houdong Turks twice to take the opportunity to attack the Khitan headquarters, so as to delay the Khitan attack on the Tang Dynasty, but it has been on the Song desert, The two provinces lost control.
After the Anshi Rebellion, due to the rise of the Hui Hui, the Khitan and Xi had to bow down to them, until the Hui destroyed after the capture of the Mobei Khanate, and the Khitan took the opportunity to attach themselves to the Tang again, but because of this, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was weak, and in fact, the control of the Northeast was in name only.
......
This is the confluence of the Huangshui and Tiehuzhen rivers, and to the north of this is the endless grassland, as the most fertile area in the northeast of the empire, it has always been the place where the Khitan Yaolin Khan clan lived, and under the giant high gate is the Khitan tooth tent.
At this time, in the tooth tent, the middle-aged Yelan Khan looked a little panicked, and the leaders of the various departments and a cadre of generals in the tent all hung their heads and were silent.
"This ...... How good is that! Isn't there a warrior in my Khitan tribe who stands up to share the worries of Khan? More than 3,000 people in the B Department and more than 7,000 lives were slaughtered overnight. Yelan Khan kept patting the low case in front of him, looking restless.
"Qiyu Great Khan, this part of the Tang army disappeared after the slaughter of the B Division, and now Yili Jin (Khitan official position, the highest military and state general, and the actual ruler of the Khitan clan in the later period) has not returned with his troops, so he should not be defeated!" At this time, a Khitan general said.
"In that case, where did this Tang army come from? Can't it fall from the sky? Without waiting for Yelan Khan to speak, the leader of the Tulu tribe immediately retorted.
After hearing this, the general's face was a little ugly, because no one knew where this Tang army came from, how many troops there were, and who the generals were.
And just as the Khitan troops launched a full-line search for this mysterious Tang army, a 3,000-strong Xuanyi cavalry was inserted eastward from the Song Desert to the territory of the Bohai State. The pine desert land where the Khitan is located is adjacent to the east and west of the Bohai Kingdom, and the north of the two places is where the Murowei tribes are located.
That night, after Li Zhen led his troops to slaughter the Khitan B Division, he went straight east to the Bohai Kingdom, and went north along the border between the two places in the vicinity of Fuyu City.
In the dense forest at the junction of the Bohai Kingdom and the Khitan Sudden Lifting Department, Li Zhen dragged his tired body and stepped off the war horse, and he looked a little haggard at this time without closing his eyes for three days, and his eyes were also full of bloodshots, but that gaze flashed from time to time with a touch of fierceness and coldness.
Not only Li Zhen, these 3,000 cavalry have not had a moment of rest in the past three days, and this time taking advantage of the cover of the dense forest, Li Zhen ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate.
It seems that the scene in the middle of the night two days ago is still lingering in Li Zhen's heart, whenever Li Zhen is alone, his face is always a little heavy, but when he appears in front of everyone, he changes back to the confident and decisive general Fu Yuan.
Li Zhen knows that he is not only himself now, the life and death of the three thousand people is between his own thoughts, and the three thousand elite cavalry he brought from Chang'an are now very little, and the three thousand soldiers in front of him may be his last foundation, and there is no room for loss.
After a few bites of Hu Biscuit, Li Zhen summoned Gao Yu, Xu Liang, Yan Heng and Gu Duoda to him.
Li Zhen knew very little about the Bohai Kingdom, and even everything he knew came from Gu Duoda's description, Li Zhen felt a little uneasy in his heart, after all, it was not only courage that was needed to go deep into the lone army, but more importantly, careful planning.
Perhaps Li Zhen's idea is a bit naïve in the eyes of most generals, the lone army is full of unknowns and uncertainties, no one predicts who will meet in the next second, what will happen, since this is the case, there is no plan, throughout the past, but those who lead the army into the enemy territory alone, most of them have no careful deployment in advance.
But Li Zhen is different, although Xu Liang once thought that he was quite angry, but what Xu Liang didn't know was that behind Li Zhen's seemingly casual behavior, there were rigorous and complex conspiracies everywhere.
As Li Zhen thinks of himself, he has never been a righteous and bright person, whether it is designing to kill Liu Rui in Jiangling Mansion, or calculating Princess Yanqing in Chang'an City, none of them have been carefully planned by Li Zhen, and even the turmoil in Hebei that shocked the whole country, behind this seemingly coincidence, but there are two words written everywhere: conspiracy, but Li Zhen missed a person in Hebei, and he was a servant.
The appearance of Fugu Wen made everything Li Zhen had arranged before come to naught, and it led to the invasion of the alliance of the four clans, which may be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty, but it is more like a good thing for Li Zhen, because through this incident, Li Zhen has become more vigilant and more cautious than before.
Li Zhen is good at conspiracy, good at conspiracy, even if he is now alone in the enemy's territory, he will never just rely on the bravery of the soldiers and act simply, 3,000 soldiers risked their lives to follow him out of the customs to the north, Li Zhen will never hand over these 3,000 lives to fate.
After Gu Duoda described the situation here in detail, Li Zhen couldn't help but fall silent, perhaps in the eyes of Gao Biao and Xu Liang, the next step is undoubtedly to attack Muwei in the north, after all, this is a plan that has been made before departure, but in Li Zhen's opinion, this plan needs to be changed.
