Chapter 228: Jerunerugu's Strategy

Yuzhou City, Yelu Nerugu led the Eastern Liao army that had been cleaned up and the people in the city began to slowly leave the city, the people in the city were basically semi-forced to leave, as long as the things in Yuzhou City could be taken away, they were basically all taken away, and hundreds of thousands of people in the ice and snow slowly moved forward under the protection of the army, fortunately, the people of Liao have lived in this icy and snowy environment for generations, and they have been very frost-resistant since they were children.

General Wang came to Jerunerugu and said, "Your Majesty, the people and the army in the city have already retreated. ”

Jerunerugu rode on his horse and looked at the city in front of him, and behind Jerunerugu was a mighty procession marching towards the south, and Jerunerugu said with a painful face: "Let's begin! ”

With Yelu Nerugu's order, the number of white rockets suddenly shot into the city, due to the dry weather this Mars instantly evolved into a sky-high fire, is in Yuzhou City into a big torch, in the ice and snow of northern China ignited a raging fire, this located in the northern China grassland city was burned by a fire, the fire burned for three days and three nights before gradually extinguished, the entire Yuzhou city was burned into a white ground.

Wherever the Eastern Liao army passed, the villagers and nomadic tribesmen of various villages along the way were all taken away, and all the property was also taken away, in one sentence, the Eastern Liao army is now like a locust passing through the ground, and all the grass is not left behind, as long as it can be taken away, all the things that can be taken away will be burned and smashed, anyway, it is absolutely not left to the enemy.

A few days later, in the palace of Dading Mansion, in Li Liangzuo's imperial study; Li Yi walked in with the latest report, Li Yi came to Li Liangzuo and said, "Your Majesty, this is the latest report. ”

Li Liangzuo beckoned to Li Yi and said, "You read it!" ”

Li Yi opened the report and said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, according to the news, Yelu Nerugu has now evacuated Yuzhou and taken all the people of Yuzhou away, and the entire city of Yuzhou has been burned to a blank ground; After burning the city of Yuzhou, Yelu Nerugu led a large army and coerced the people to turn south and then east. ”

After listening to this, Li Liangzuo stood up from the dragon chair, walked to the map, and said it according to the direction of the Eastern Liao Army that Li Yi said, and drew a picture of Li Liangzuo, and suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect this Yelu Nerugu to have such great courage and dare to play this game with me." ”

Li Yi asked very curiously: "Your Majesty, is he playing with you!" ”

Li Liangzuo said while drawing on the map: "If I guessed correctly, Yelu Nerugu should have taken this route, starting from Yuzhou City and going south first, then eastward through Tanzhou, then eastward through Yonghe and Anchang and then along the coast to the south, Haihai, Laizhou, Qianzhou, and Runzhou to enter Nanjing Road through Yuguan. ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "I see, but Your Majesty, the last general still doesn't understand, what is the purpose of Yelu Nerugu doing this?" ”

"Yelu Nerugu, this is not giving up! He planned to exchange space for time, relying on the Yanshan Mountain Range for defense, before that, he would move all the people north of Yanshan to the south, and all these places in Zezhou and Bei'an Prefecture would be burned down like Yuzhou City. ”

"This ......," Li Yi said with some shock; This Yelu Nerugu is too ruthless! This is tantamount to giving up thousands of miles of land north of Yanshan in vain! ”

"Ruthless!" Li Liangzuo shook his head and said meaningfully; "That's what Jerunerugu is all about! It seems that I really underestimated him before. ”

Seeing that Yelu Nelugu still looked dazed, Li Liangzuo continued: "Li Yi, do you still remember how the first emperor responded to the attack of the Liao State when he first became emperor? ”

Li Yi opened his mouth and said: "Of course, this Weichen does not dare to forget, when the first emperor was just proclaimed emperor, Liao Xingzong led an army of 100,000 to invade the territory, at that time, my Western Xia country was small and the people were weak, and the first emperor chose to avoid the enemy's troops and introduce it into the hinterland of my Western Xia to fight a decisive battle. ”

Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "Yes, the strategy used by Yelu Nerugu today is exactly the same as the strategy used by the first emperor back then; To sum up, it is just eight words: 'avoid its edge, strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness'; Li Yi, you see, after Yelu Nerugu evacuated from this area, this area became a no-man's land with a depth of two hundred miles, and the Eastern Liao Army was bound to destroy all that could be destroyed when it evacuated; That is to say, our logistics materials need to be transported from Dading Mansion, so that our logistics supply line will be stretched, and the water source here will be inedible, which is the most important thing;

And even if we can solve the above problems and successfully cross here, the difficulties in front of us are still not small, this is the Yanshan Mountain Range that straddles the east and west, and Yelu Nerugu is hiding behind the Yanshan Mountain Range, and if we want to attack, we must first cross the Yanshan Mountain Range; There are four passes to cross the Yanshan Mountain Range, Juyong Pass in the west, Gubei Pass in the north, Luanhe River in the north and Yuguan Pass in the east; Now the soldiers and horses under the command of Ji La Siyi have been blocked under the Juyong Pass, which shows that the other three levels are not easy to win. ”

Li Yi suggested to Li Liangzuo: "Send troops to intercept and kill Yelu Nelugu's Eastern Liao army before it has withdrawn to Nanjing Dao. ”

"Interception?" Li Liangzuo sneered: "How easy is it to intercept and kill? How many soldiers will die innocently on the march in this icy and snowy land, and now we don't even know how to pursue Yelu Nerugu which way to go, and all we can do now is to watch Jelu Nerugu leave in style. ”

Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, why should we send troops to pursue it ourselves!" How did you forget the one to the east of us? ”

Li Liangzuo suddenly realized: "Li Yi, you mean to let Yelu Hongji send troops to pursue. ”

"Exactly." Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo; "Your Majesty, Yelu Hongji and Yelu Nerugu are a pair of mortal enemies, if Yelu Hongji knows the news that Yelu Nerugu is going to withdraw to Nanjing Province with a large amount of gold, silver, supplies, cattle and sheep, and people, he will inevitably be furious, and he will definitely send troops to intercept Yelu Nerugu."

"Okay! This time you're smarter than me. Li Liangzuo scolded Li Yi with a smile; Moreover, the distance of Yeluhongki is still relatively close, and the speed of his troops is much faster; Li Yi will leave this matter to you, and don't let Yelu Hongji know that we leaked the news to him. ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Li Yi immediately took the order and left.

When Yelu Nerugu was desperately shrinking the defensive line, Yang Shousu used Wanyan Hanpu to gradually integrate the various tribes around the entire Huanglong Mansion, and soon Yang Shousu pulled up a tribal alliance army in the northeast with Li Liangzuo, and the nominal commander of the coalition army was Wanyan Hanpu; Although Wanyan Hanpu was the commander of the coalition army, Wanyan Hanpu was not able to completely control this army, and the armies of the various tribes were still fighting each other.

And Yang Shousu is not the first foreign minister of Western Xia, relying on the rights given by Li Liangzuo here, he is even deceived and deceived all the tribal chiefs to turn around, and roam between various forces, so that he is willing to die for the Great Xia Kingdom.

Tianyu knelt down and begged for all kinds of support, please......
