Let's say that the more than 10,000 Liao army captives have been cut down, and the second batch of grain trucks that set off from Zhending has also arrived in Baozhou, and the Rongcheng City has been broken, which naturally solves the urgent need of the Liangshan army.

At this time, Lu Qian's military order had also been transmitted to Xiongzhou, and he asked the troops and horses of the department to go north. If so, Song Jiang inspected the grain and grass, led Wang Yuan as the west road, and Shi Wengong led Wang Bin as the east road, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads rushed into the territory of Liao. Bao Xu, the mourning god who escaped from Liaodi with great difficulty, still had to stay in Xiongzhou City to recuperate.

At this time, the upper echelons of the Liao Kingdom had already learned the news of Wu Yanguang's defeat and loss, and Emperor Tianzuo was like having a nightmare, and suddenly fell from the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace into the eighteenth layer of hell, he was angry, but he was terrified. Because Lu Qian actually put on a posture of Liao Guo not bowing his head, he made a big move to the north.

"Your Majesty is worry-free. Lu Qian's gang of grass thieves seem to be arrogant, but in fact, they are strong on the outside and capable in the middle. His Majesty Hugh only saw that there were many soldiers and horses in the land thieves, and the morale was noisy, so he thought that no one could stop him, but he forgot that food was the military program. The land thieves came out of the real determination, through Dingzhou, Baozhou, Ansu, Guangxin, began to enter the territory of our country, along the way 400 miles of strange, there is no river convenience, a military grain can only rely on land transshipment, and there are refugees in Guangxin and Baozhou to pull the hind legs, how can there be sufficient food?

As far as Zhuozhou came to report, the land thieves entered our territory, so they sent soldiers and horses to attack the source at night, and the next day Li collected the surplus grain in the city and sent it to the city of Zhuozhou, so we can know that there is a shortage of food in its army. Even if a lot of grain in Rongcheng was seized by the thief army, there were more than 100,000 refugees in Guangxin waiting to be fed, what kind of rations were consumed? Liangshan thieves are so lacking, why are they afraid? Let me go to the twenty-eight generals, the eleventh generals, and many strong generals, are you afraid that you won't be able to win him! If this group of barbarians does not retreat, the minister is willing to personally lead troops to kill this guy. Ye Luchun looked at Emperor Tianzuo's angry and frightened face, smiled coldly in his heart, stepped forward, and told the words of the conclusion discussed with his confidants.

That word was very reasonable, it was the crystallization of the wisdom of his subordinates and others who had been deliberating for a long time, and now they were thrown out, and the result was greatly appreciated.

It was Wu Yanguang, who had been stripped of his position as the commander of the army, and he also gave a thumbs up in his heart when he looked at Yeluchun. This Nanjing left-behind guard still has some ability, but you can see the mystery at a glance.

The menacing Liangshan Army, the biggest shortcoming is food. There is a lot of food in Rongcheng, but it is far from being able to fill the refugees in Guangxin. After all, Lu Qian only took the territory of Hebei in general, instead of really controlling these two places in the palm of his hand, even if Shandong has a lot of grain, if he wants to transport it directly to the northern frontier by land and water, it is not possible to do it in a short time. Not to mention that the huge Hebei and Hebei roads need to be completely controlled, and it will take a lot of energy, money and food to go to the Liangshan army. How could Lu Qian fight with the Khitan?

I don't know how many refugees and displaced people are waiting to be resettled in the whole of Hebei, and Lu Qian also exempted the local money and grain taxes this year as usual, and the whole Hebei is a super big rotten hole, which needs to be made up by the Liangshan army.

There are still many places where the latter needs money and food.

Under such circumstances, could it be that Lu Qian could rely on the money and grain of Zhending Mansion to conquer Da Liao?

Wu Yanguang rested in Zhuozhou for one night, and after settling down, he thought of all this. "Your Majesty, the most difficult thing to hide between my Da Liao and Lu Qi today is the slave maid. Baosai washed the city, the slave and maid were angry that Liu Jingshi Qinghe was not obedient, so he asked his subordinates to kill all the Han men in the city, and the land thief used this as a stumbling block, and he had already killed all the captured sons and daughters of our army, how could he let go of the slave and the maid as the culprit? ”

Lu Qianke clearly said that if he didn't behead Yan Guang, he wouldn't ask Emperor Tianzuo to bow his head and confess, and he would never quit the army. Now that you have established a flag, you must be able to bear this pressure. At this time, the ancients didn't know what it was, don't set up a flag!

After the dismissal of the dynasty, Emperor Tianzuo made people announce the appearance of the vultures. As soon as the latter came in, he fell to his knees, and this time he smashed the matter.

The Liangshan army is a little powerless to attack the Liao State, so does the Liao State have the strength to deal with the Liangshan Army? Isn't that? After the defeat of Baozhou in the First World War, the Liao State was already broken. If Lu Qian took the initiative to withdraw from the Liao State after defeating Rongcheng, Emperor Tianzuo and the others would definitely be overjoyed, and no one would say anything to trouble Lu Qi again.

It is not just the beasts and barbarians who are afraid of power but not virtue, but the common disease of many people.

In front of his confidants, Emperor Tianzuo also let go of his self-control and spoke bluntly: "The land thief wants me to bow my head, this is wishful thinking. He still wants your head, doesn't he really want me to send your head over? "This time, Wu Yanguang returned defeated, and the military horses won first and then lost a lot, which can be said to make Emperor Tianzuo lose face and lose even more strength, but he is still reluctant to use this minion.

This is the most loyal and capable person to him. Who will check and balance Yeluchun if he loses his face? Do you rely on Jerod? This guy is not so much the imperial party, but the party of Concubine Wen. Even though Concubine Wen is one of his wives, there is a layer of heart in the end.

"Da Liao is the upper country, how can he bow down to the grass of the southern country? However, the slave maid thought that Wu Yanguang could die. ”

Emperor Tianzuo was taken aback, is this vultures confused, how can someone seek death by themselves? "Well, that's a good idea." The dead are just "vultures". And now the light of the vultures can become the light of Jerod.

Wu Yanguang said this, which means that he has to be soft. Helplessly, the situation is stronger than people, and after this defeat, the Liao State can no longer afford to provoke Lu Qi.

Of course, Lu Qian couldn't threaten the Khitan for a while, but the strength in his hands was really stronger than that of the Liao State. annoyed the king of Renlu, who will be able to transport a large amount of grain to the front line in only three or two months, and then raise a large number of soldiers to kill and attack the Jurchens from the north and south, how can this Khitan deal with?

If so, the vultures softened. He softened, and Emperor Tianzuo had no heart. The battle will continue to fight just for a decent one. After all, the Khitan has had an advantage over the Central Plains for 200 years. Emperor Tianzuo is also good-looking.

But for Lu Qianjun's war, Wu Yanguang could not participate. Emperor Tianzuo intended to exclude him from going to Shangjing for a few days. "The country is swaying, and you are thinking about loyal ministers and good generals, do you have anyone to recommend?"

"The minister thinks that the Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Yelu Dashi can be described as the pillar stone of the clan."

"Big Stone Forest?" Emperor Tianzuo was surprised. The eighth grandson of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji is not only the only Khitan jinshi in Khitan history, but also has a close personal relationship with Yelu Chun.

Wu Yanguang has been serving Emperor Tianzuo for a long time, how can he not know what Emperor Tianzuo is surprised about, and said: "Your Majesty, how difficult the state affairs are now, it is the time to work together, and I hope that Your Majesty can focus on the overall situation." "When has this been, are you still struggling with this?

After the defeat of Baozhou, the Liao State is now in danger. It would be a great waste to let Yelu Dashi go to be a small state official.

Emperor Tianzuo didn't agree, but only waved his hand and told Wu Yanguang to go down and prepare to 'die'.

Then he ordered Yeluchun to be the commander, Yelu Dongxian to be the auxiliary, to supervise tens of thousands of Han soldiers in Nanjing and thousands of Khitan tribes, to save Fanyang in Zhuozhou. But this is just the strength to breastfeed.

Except for the new army that Emperor Tianzuo still held tightly in his hands, the soldiers and horses of the entire Nanjing Dao were empty. If you want to transfer troops and horses, if it is not the main force of Jinzhou that is confronting the Jurchen soldiers and horses, there are only the tribal armies of Zhongjing and Shangjing. Of course, Xijing Road is also somewhat Hanzhou state soldiers.

Yelu Dashi, who was recommended by Wu Yanguang, came to Nanjing City two days later and became Yeluchun's general.

Now Lu Qian is still leading troops and horses to besiege Zhuozhou, but there are some soldiers and horses in Zhuozhou City, and the city is high and deep, and the Liangshan army also lacks heavy weapons to attack the city, so Lu Qian chooses soldiers and horses to attack left and right. first asked Xu Ning to lead troops to converge with the Yao Zheng Department in Laishui, and captured Yizhou, which was empty of troops; Further west of this place is the Bauhinia Ridge, which is connected with the Xijing Road of the Liao State, and the location is very crucial. Then he called Sun Li, Lei Heng and others to lead the troops to seize Xincheng and return to righteousness.

Here, Song Jiang and Shi Wengong attacked in two more ways, attacking Yongqing, Gu'an, Anci and other places respectively.

Ye Luchun heard that Yizhou and other places had fallen one after another, and the enemy army had new moves, so he said worriedly: "The army of land thieves and the Cangzhou army and horses converged, several times more than me. If I block the way, he will only not fight with me, and take Nanjing by other military routes, and our army will not be able to protect against it. And if the army is divided and refused, the army will be weak, and it will be difficult to speak alone. Can you teach me? ”

"Don't worry, I have a plan, first make a big fanfare and pretend to attack the enemy in Cangzhou. The enemy's army was sparsely armed and inquired on the road, but I did not fight him, and on the one hand, I bluffed and confronted him, and on the other hand, secretly assigned elite troops to copy his rear road. The Bazhou and Xin'an armies were attacked, and the Cangzhou thief army retreated without a fight. When his army retreated, I sought a gap and marched, and if I defeated his army, my prestige would also be violent. With great fanfare, to aid Zhuozhou, at that time, there was a strong city in front of the land thieves, and there were strange soldiers on the side, and they were determined to retreat. There is still a faint meaning in Yelu Dashi's words that has not been said, that is, after defeating Song Jiang, there is a fig leaf first. When the time comes, the Zhuozhou land thieves will not retreat, and they will be able to reach out to the emperor to continue to ask for reinforcements.

Ye Luchun said: "Lin Ya's plan is very good. It's just that our army copied behind enemy lines, and if he was desperate, he would take Nanjing; Isn't it bad that the Jingshi is shaken? "Nanjing City is not broken, but this way it has given Emperor Tianzuo a tongue.

Yelu Dashi pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, I personally led a military horse with the cave immortal waiter to kill Bengu'an, and the prince led the army to attack Anci to attract the enemy's attention. If the thief army attacks head-on, they will occupy the danger, and the suspicious soldiers will try their best to delay until the young general will move behind; If it was difficult to support, they hurriedly returned to the army and retreated to the Gaoliang River. Yeluchun sank half loudly when he heard this, and so he agreed. I couldn't have found a better solution.

In this way, Yelu Dashi and Yelu Cave Immortal led an army of five or six thousand and came to Gu'an due south. One day of advance, Tanma reported that the enemy army was in the Gu'an joint camp for several miles, and reported that the enemy had a soldier and horse on the west road, and he knew that it was the enemy of Zhuozhou without thinking.

Yelu Dashi clapped his hands and shouted, "Just with my will." Now a small group of people can bewitch Gu'an in this place, and the brigade will turn to the west and copy the enemy's rear. When Yelu Dongxian heard this, he exclaimed: "This plan is very wonderful. So they left a group of men and horses here to bluff, and the main force went west. You want to defeat the army from the west!

Moreover, Shi Wengong led 3,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Gu'an, lined up more than 100 local ships of all sizes along the river, and prepared to send people to Xiongzhou, so that it was good to transfer military rations. However, at this moment, there are many water ditches in the sixteen states of Youyun, and the Sanggan River runs northwest and southeast, runs through the entire Nanjing Road, and finally joins the Juma River into the sea.

Now that the Liangshan Army has controlled the Juma River, it can naturally be used to merge with the Handi waterway, from Cangzhou through the Yellow River to the Juma River, and then transport grain and grass to the front line in Zhuozhou.

The one who had just sent a message to the people suddenly heard the report of the horse detective, but it was a Liao army killed on the north road.

Wang Bin [former Bazhou Soldiers and Horses Supervisor] said: "Our army is a partial division, it is better to stick to the city and wait for the soldiers and horses on the west road to come to help." ”

Shi Wengong didn't dare to be careless, gathered all the soldiers and horses in the city, and looked at the north road, only to see that the Liao army was camped more than ten miles north of the city, waving the flag, and it was majestic. But this posture is not intended to attack the city.

"If the Liao army doesn't come to attack me, I'll attack him!" Shi Wengong said boldly. Wang Bin was shocked when he heard this, "Our army is not strong enough to move lightly. ”

"Reinforcements from the West Road are coming, why not!" After that, he asked Wang Bin to stay in the city, ordered 2,000 troops by himself, and shouted to kill the Liao army camp.
