Hey~"

All Yang Qi left behind in Youzhou City was a heavy sigh.

Hundreds of thousands of troops slaughtered out of Youzhou City and went straight to Shunzhou.

Li Jilong, a young, ambitious general, straddled his horseback and was experiencing the thrill of holding a heavy army.

For any aspirant, holding power is what they aspire to.

When Li Jilong was initially transferred to Zhending Mansion, he was almost crazy with joy.

The reason why he came to the border pass was to fight, to make meritorious contributions, and to revive the prestige of the Li family.

But since he led his army to Yanmen Pass, all the battles seem to have been lost to him.

Yang Yansi, the famous Tiger Marquis of the Northwest, defeated Yelu Huge twice, and the Liao people who fought did not dare to invade his territory, and they could not even get involved in the war with Yanmen Pass.

Zhao Guangyi's northern expedition to the Liao Kingdom gave him hope.

After he felt the Zhending Mansion excitedly, he realized that Zhao Guangyi did not transfer him to let him fight, but to let him act as a guard.

Li Jilong's mood became much lower again.

I thought I was going to miss the war.

But he didn't expect that Cao Bin was bewitched by Yang Qi, angered Long Yan, and was deposed from military power, which actually allowed him to pick up an opportunity.

He was a guard who was originally in charge of a pass, and he became a commander with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands.

Although he does not have the title of commander, he has the authority of commander.

That's pretty good for him.

It would be better if there were no two civil servants, Li Fang and Zhang Qixian.

Li Jilong led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and soon left the territory of Youzhou.

Camped at the junction of Youzhou and Shunzhou for one night, the next day the army entered Shunzhou.

As soon as he entered Shunzhou, Li Jilong no longer had a leisurely time in Youzhou.

There were constantly small groups of Liao troops rushing out from the side and sneaking up on the army.

Li Jilong was not disgusted by this, but was very happy.

There are small units of the Liao army constantly sneak attacking, which is very much in line with the habits of the Liao army.

This shows that Jeruhhuge sent a lot of troops and horses to carry out the means of exhausting the enemy.

At the same time, it also shows that there is a false news about Cao Bin saying in the Buddhist hall that the Shunzhou River has dried up, and Yelu Xiuge's layout in Shunzhou.

If Yelu Huge really laid out in Shunzhou, then how could he send so many soldiers and horses to attack them?

Could it be that in order to kill the enemy, Jeruhugo would kill his own people together?

There are quite a few Liao troops who attacked them, and it is impossible for Yelu Xiuge to even count his own people in order to lay out.

With this in mind, after defeating the sneak attack of the seventeenth wave of the Liao army, the army found a flat place and began to set up camp.

At night.

Li Jilong, Li Fang, and Zhang Qixian, all three of them were discussing matters in the military tent.

Three people sat around a table.

Li Fangle said: "Since we entered Shunzhou, we have encountered a total of seventeen waves of Liao army sneak attacks, it seems that Yelu Xiuge wants to repeat the old tricks, and wants to frequently sneak attack our army's baggage, in order to achieve the purpose of coercing us to retreat." ”

Zhang Qixian also had a smile on his face, "This just shows that what Cao Bin and Cao Shu's envoy said in the Buddha hall before is false." ”

Li Fang nodded and said with emotion: "It's a shame that I left more thoughts, and after entering Shunzhou, I immediately sent someone to Shunzhou River to see the situation." As Chen Lin's eunuch said, the Shunzhou River did not dry up, but the flow was much smaller, which was thought to be caused by the drought. ”

Zhang Qixian pondered for a moment and said, "You say, what does it mean that Cao Shu's envoy released this kind of fake news at a critical moment?" ”

Li Fang frowned and shook his head.

They have proven that Cao Bin is lying, so what is the purpose of Cao Bin's lies?

Zhang Qixian and Li Fang couldn't guess.

Li Jilong, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Probably because I am afraid of the high merit of the master......

Li Jilong glanced at the two calmly, and said lightly: "The two adults should know that our Great Song Dynasty can't tolerate people with high merit......"

When Li Fang and Zhang Qixian heard this, they nodded thoughtfully.

They couldn't guess what Cao Bin was thinking about, and Li Jilong's statement was the most common sense.

With Cao Bin's status today, there is no seal.

With Zhao Guangyi's heart, he will never allow a king with a different surname to appear under his command.

So if Cao Bin really returned with a great victory in conquering the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Guangyi could only give him a death.

Cao Bin sensed the danger in advance, so he dragged out in this battle and refused to make meritorious contributions.

Thinking about it this way, they can understand Cao Bin's approach.

After the three of them 'understood' Cao Bin's approach.

I don't pay attention to this 'rumor' that the Shunzhou River has dried up.

The army was stationed overnight on the border of Shunzhou.

Next.

Li Fang and Zhang Qixian were urging Li Jilong to step up their march early in the morning.

The purpose of their trip was not simply to help Li Jilong fight, but also had other purposes.

The imperial court's policy of using civil and military forces is already obvious, but after civilian officials arrive in the army, they can only hold positions such as supervising the army.

Although the power is very great, when he encounters top generals like Cao Bin, the supervisors in the army still have to clamp their tails and be people.

Therefore, Li Fang and Zhang Qixian not only wanted to help Li Jilong fight, but also to prove to Zhao Guangyi the possibility of fighting with Wen Yuwu, and to further let the civil servants reach into the army more.

Once they control the power of Wuwen, then they can truly achieve the ultimate goal of sharing the world with the king.

At the urging of Li Fang and Zhang Qixian, Li Jilong began to step up his march.

After another day's journey, they finally reached the first city in Shunzhou.

In the face of the defenders in the city, the soldiers of the forbidden army showed their heroic combat effectiveness.

One drum down.

Within one day, Li Jilong connected the three cities of Shunzhou and began to approach Shuncheng, the main city of Shunzhou.

After the good news reached Youzhou City, Zhao Guangyi happily ran barefoot in the Buddhist hall, and proudly told the abbot of the temple that he decided to fund the abbot with 10,000 taels of sesame oil.

Not only that, Zhao Guangyi also specially set up a banquet, and asked people to invite Zhao Pu, Zhao Defang, Cao Bin, Yang Qi and others, and bragged about how fierce the soldiers under his command were and how capable they were in battle.

And he himself is so wise and invincible, he chased after the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, commanded the soldiers and horses to fight, and was invincible and invincible.

In short, under his own pride and the praise of many civil servants, he became an invincible general who was delayed by the throne.

At the same time, he vaguely warned Cao Bin, saying that Cao Bin was old and overwhelmed.

And Cao Bin and Yang Qi were at the banquet, looking at the complacent Zhao Guangyi, with a thick melancholy on their faces.

Just when Zhao Guangyi was celebrating in Youzhou City.

The northernmost border of Shunzhou.

Tents were set up on the edge of a wide river.

The water of the Great River has long since overflowed its original course and has widened nearly tenfold.

A dam dozens of feet high spans the river, cutting off the flow of the river.

Hundreds of thousands of people, driven by the Liao army with leather whips, are constantly reinforcing the frequently leaking embankments.

The scene was spectacular.

Above the middle of the embankment, there is a notch about one zhang high.

The raging river is constantly rushing down the notch.

And the king of Jeruhuko stopped on the banks of the great river.

Next to the king's car, an arc-shaped animal skin tent was encircled to help Yelu Hugo block the wind that was blowing slowly.

There was a thick blanket of animal skins on the ground, and Jerushuge sat on it, sipping tea.

The heralds kept coming from a distance and told him the movements of the Song army after entering Shunzhou.

Whenever he heard that Song Jun had gone deep into Shunzhou, the smile on Yelu Huge's face was one point stronger.

And so on, three days later.

When the Song army of Yelu Hugo was about to arrive in Shuncheng, he laughed loudly.

"Something has been done!"

Yelu Hugo drank the rice flower fragrant tea in the cup in one gulp, waved his hand and ordered the herald beside him, "Let the people below drown the explosives according to the plan, and at the same time, let the people who built the embankment can be withdrawn." ”

As early as two days ago, Yelu Xuan, who was transferred by Yelu Xiuge, frowned into a Sichuan character after hearing Yelu Xiuge's order.

"Brother Hugh, the soldiers and horses responsible for the sneak attack on the Song army have not withdrawn yet, should they wait for them to withdraw before blowing up the embankment?"

Brother Yelu was stunned for a moment, turned around and glanced at Yelu obliquely, frowned, and said: "You have already held the position of official envoy of the Great Liao, and under this king, you have the greatest power in the army."

You don't understand the truth that you don't take charge of the army, do you? ”

Yelu's face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "But they ...... A lot of people are clansmen. For aliens, I will naturally not be soft, but let the clansmen die innocently, I can't do it. ”

Yelu Huge's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Those who do big things are not informal." You should understand what this battle means to my Da Liao. If I win the Great Liao, I will not only be able to defend the rich Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, but also have the opportunity to plot the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Central Plains.

But once my Great Liao is defeated, we can only return to the white mountains and black waters and continue to live a hard life.

Therefore, in this battle, my Daliao must win.

In order to win this battle, let alone sacrifice some clansmen, even if the king pushes all his wives and children to death, the king will not hesitate to do so. ”

The more Yelu Hugo spoke, the colder his voice became, "You should understand what it means to withdraw your people at this time. Once the clansmen who attacked the Song army withdrew, it was very likely that the Song army would find out about this situation carefully laid out by the king in Shunzhou. As long as they take a detour to the front line of Yun Ying, they can avoid this king's design.

Once this opportunity to kill the Song army is missed, millions of Song troops will come to Gubeikou.

Do you think you can stop the million Song army? ”

After teaching Yelu Xuan, Yelu Xiuge coldly reminded Yelu Xuan, "This king has been fighting all year round, and his body has long been much worse than before. And you, on the other hand, are in the prime of life. You are the king's favored successor. So this king doesn't want you to say such childish things again. ”

Jerod bowed his head in shame.

Jeruhhuge left the ashamed Jerod and returned to the army to give orders.

Yelu Hugo was not only satisfied with the victory of the flooded Song army, he also took advantage of the flooding of the Song army to beat the water dogs and counterattack back.

It is best to recapture Youzhou at the same time, and scrape another piece or two of meat from Song Guo's body.

Jeruhuko gathered his men and horses, stood under his royal banner, and said coldly: "Once the great river breaks its banks, the armies will act according to the orders of the king. If anyone does not obey the king's commands, the king does not mind killing him and replacing him with someone who is more obedient.

In this battle, this king doesn't need any prisoners, do you understand? ”

"Huh~"

"Obey the king's orders!"

Don't need any captives?

This is to kill all the Song troops that come across.

The reason why Yelu Xiuge became so ruthless was that the culprit was Yang Qi.

When the war broke out in Tongtaiguan last year, Yang Qisheng captured Yelu Dashi, the son of Yelu Xiuge.

After punishing him, he sent someone to Shi Shouxin, and Shi Shouxin sent someone to Waqiao Pass.

Wang Chao didn't know what he thought about the second goods, so he sent someone to chop an object on Yelu Dashi every day and send it to Yelu Hugo.

I sent it for a month.

It was only then that Jeruxiugo made up the complete body of his son.

Since then, Jeruhugo has breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's just that he has been holding this breath in his heart and never showing it.

Now that he has seized the opportunity to take revenge, how can he not recover this blood debt.

……

The Liao army was ready to go down the surging flood and give the Song army a ruthless blow.

The Song army, which did not know that they were already in danger, finally arrived in Shuncheng under the leadership of Li Jilong.

The city of Shuncheng is far less vast than Youzhou City, nor is it as big as Youzhou City.

But the walls of Shuncheng are very high.

In addition to the city walls, there are also urn castles, arrow towers, and so on.

What makes Li Jilong and others feel strange is that on the city wall of Shuncheng, there are not only the defenders of Shuncheng, but also the ordinary people in Shuncheng, who are standing on the city wall with their families in tow, blinking and looking at the Song army under the city with big eyes.

Li Fang and Li Jilong were in front of the battle.

He looked at the defenders and the people at the head of the city from afar, and sneered, "What is this? Is there no one in Liao? actually pulled all the old and weak women and children into the city and defended the city together. ”

Zhang Qixian stepped forward immediately, looked at the defenders and people at the head of the city, frowned, and said, "Don't be careless!" ”

Li Jilong also frowned, "Two adults, I think something is wrong. ”

"Something is wrong there?"

Li Jilong pointed to the people on the head of the city and hesitated: "I don't think they are defending the city, more like they are taking refuge." ”

"Evacuation?"

Li Fang and Zhang Qixian glanced at each other, both stunned.

Then Li Fang laughed loudly: "They are indeed taking refuge, because we are their disaster." Hahaha......"

After laughing, Li Fang looked at Li Jilong and said, "General Li, break the city!" The official looks forward to your heroic posture in one go, so I can take advantage of the darkness to send someone to send the good news of the capture of Shuncheng to Your Majesty. Presumably, Your Majesty should be in a hurry. ”

Li Jilong hesitated, but nodded.

Subsequently, he began to arrange his troops and prepare to attack Shuncheng.

"Boom~"

The sound of thousands of horses galloping came from far and near.

Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble.

Li Fang stared and looked around, "What happened?" The earth dragon turned over? ”

Zhang Qixian didn't speak, and his eyes were looking around.

Li Jilong restrained the soldiers who were a little flustered under the loud restraint.

Suddenly, he saw nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, separated from the ranks of the army, and he asked with all his might, "What are you doing?" Want to rebel? ”

"Phew! The flood is coming! If you don't run, will you wait to die with you idiots? ”

Li Jilong shouted with a dark face: "Flood, where is there a flood? You rebels who have taken the opportunity to attack! ”
