"It sucks...... It's too bad......" Li Wenge shook his head and grumbled, and the Eighth Route Army envoy showed a rare look of impatience on his face, which surprised Zhang Guizhi, who had been in charge of the guard work for half a year.

At this moment, Li Wenge has twelve hundred miles of Kanyu maps in front of him, which is the result of a month's efforts of the East Khitan Commune, most of these twelve maps are still just traditional mountain and river map patterns, only two hand-drawn Kanyu maps by Qin Haoran's Marquis officers use new things such as coordinate systems and contour lines, but Li Wenge is not dissatisfied with this aspect, after all, there are very few people who can use modern geometric rules to make maps, and the war is ongoing, Such a talent is needed both on Shen Chen's side and on his own side, and if two people can be drawn, Qin Haoran and Yu Hou's department are already very face-saving. What made Li Wenge depressed was that so many people were busy for more than a month, so the North Road Battalion specially dispatched ten cavalry troops to escort them, and the final result was to get so many letters and graffiti with overlapping boundaries and different regulations from far and near......

"The East Khitan Commune is not a decoration, go to Africa, you are too careless about this matter...... Put the cart before the horse...... It's putting the cart before the horse...... On the Yunzhong North Road, the biggest strategic task of the Eighth Route Army was not to fight and fight, but to lay a solid foundation for the future activities of the Eastern Khitan Commune......"

Li Wenge strode back and forth in the tent, venting his dissatisfaction loudly as he walked, and Cui Qufei, who was standing beside him, looked quite embarrassed. Although the temper of this marshal general is strange on weekdays, he is a very kind person, especially to civil officials, quite polite, since the establishment of the town and the largest conflict between civil officials is only the "female official resignation and favor feudalism" storm in August last year, Cui Bao has been his secretary for a few months, and he is rarely complained in public like today, for a while, Cui Bao is quite a little unable to get down.

Li Wenge didn't realize that his words were a little heavy, he still shook his head and said: "The Khitan is a big country, the national strength is strong, we defeat one of his armies, he still has twenty armies to be transferred, we destroy one of his tribes, he still has countless tribes to levy, we blow up one of his cities, he still has a hundred cities standing there...... In the corner of the clouds alone, there are 16 states in Daliao, and we have only seven states, less than one-fifth of the territory of Daliao. ”

He turned his head and said seriously: "Don't think that the East Khitan Commune is a joke, no matter whether we win or lose this Eastern Crusade, this will be our guerrilla area in a few years, and the future East Khitan Commune will not only face these ill-intentioned Yidi tribes around it, but also be ready to face the looting and clearing of the Khitan army at any time, the scale may not be very large in the first few times, but as long as you can take root, you will face the Khitan army of the whole country, can you let the East Khitan Commune gain a firm foothold in the west of the clouds, Whether you can make this land and grassland become a forever bleeding wound on Da Liao's body depends on how well you control this land...... It took a month to get such a thing out, don't blame me for losing my temper, it's too far from what we asked......"

It was not only Cui Bao who was smashed by him, but also Chen Zhe and Xifeng Minda.

Chen Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "Is it difficult at the beginning of everything...... Everyone is not familiar with the states behind the mountains, and it is not easy to make it like this for a while, the geography is not familiar, there are many tribes, and my caravan rarely traveled so far before......"

Li Wenge shook his head again and again: "These all make sense, but this is not what I want to hear......"

He paused, and looked at the three of them: "The establishment of the East Khitan Commune is not a common law, so I will issue waist cards to all the people, promising to give priority to the transfer of Quanxu, they have not been examined, and they have not been reviewed by the state government. If you are so comfortable and comfortable, you can ask for it, how can you use these people? ”

He was about to continue, but Minda was already impatient......

"I'll take this waste out tomorrow ......"

He pursed his lips.

Li Wenge was stunned for a moment, glanced at the fine seal, and frowned: "You go?" Who will be in charge of the camp? ”

"Qin Haoran-" Xifeng Minda said without hesitation, "The battle between the left and right has almost been fought, whether it is Yelu Dilu returning to the division, or Yelu Tart Lie coming to the west, there is no moon, don't even think about it, I will use this month's free time to take you to get these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods to do some homework......"

Li Wenge was still a little hesitant, after all, Xifeng was the main general of the North Road Camp at the moment, and once he left, Qin Haoran might not be able to catch many things......

Li Hu, Di Huaiwei, and the people who killed the cow Sima may be as well-behaved as little sheep under the hands of the fine seal...... Once Qin Haoran is replaced, these guys are afraid that no one will be convinced, right? ”

Li Wenge has a headache - Qin Haoran can't take care of it, many things will naturally pile up on his head, he has been lazy for so long, he is already a little used to the feeling of letting go of everything, and he feels very uncomfortable at this moment to let him be in charge of some specific practical affairs.

"Someone else," he rolled his eyes and said to the fine.

Xi Feng shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Is there a better harrier in your team than me?" ”

……

Looking at the surging crowd in front of him, Liu Ci couldn't help but gasp.

This place is called Wangpoling, less than 12 miles away from Bagongyuan, where the north and south are fighting, and across the towering mountain bag, Liu Ci has even faintly heard the faint shouts of the north side of the mountain.

Most of the defeated soldiers in front of them were riding horses, the armor on their bodies had already been taken off and thrown away on the way to escape, and they were still holding less than half of the blades in their hands, their faces were drenched in sweat, their eyes were sluggish and confused, Liu Ci's personal soldiers intercepted more than ten people all the way, but none of them could clearly tell the battle situation in front, the situation in Gaoping, the safety of the emperor, the position of Zhang Yongde, and the deployment of the Han army...... But no one could tell him these things that Liu Ci wanted to know the most.

Until Liu Ci personally led the team of personal soldiers to stop Fan Aineng, the deputy commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace.

"Defeated?"

Looking at Fan Aineng, who shook his head again and again, Liu Ci couldn't help frowning, no wonder he was suspicious, the armor on Fan Aineng's body was still neat, but there was no blood stain at all, and it didn't look like he had gone through a tragic battle.

"Where is the Lord's Dharma?"

Liu Ci suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked sharply.

Fan Aineng was already in tears in a blink of an eye: "The Lord was hit by a stray arrow in the chaos of the army, fell off his horse, and did not know ...... of life and death."

His words caused a commotion among the pro-army in Liu Ci's army, the emperor is gone, this battle seems to be unfought, Liu Ci looked at Fan Aineng coldly, but he didn't speak, his eyes swept over the generals around Fan Aineng, but everyone didn't dare to look at him, as far as their eyes could see, they all turned their heads sideways and avoided it.

Liu Ci smiled coldly: "Where are you going to retreat?" ”

Fan Aineng hung his head and said: "All the way, they are collecting the defeated army and going back to the court to ask for reinforcements...... Now that the Privy Mansion is in charge of the Imperial Palace, we can only count on him......"

Liu Ci looked at him twice, smiled slightly, and replied lightly: "That's fine."

He glanced back at the shocked and uncertain military spirit of the town** pro-army, and said coldly: "Pass the order, make way for the forbidden army robes, and let them cross the river to rest, and we will continue to move forward......"

As he spoke, he urged the horse forward, and Fan Aineng grabbed his reins: "Don't be handsome—"

Liu Ci looked at Fan Aineng with a faint smile, but did not speak.

Fan Aineng said in a low voice: "Jie Shuai, the Liu family has the Khitan people to help, its pioneer Zhang is quite brave, the holy driver is not there, the military heart is floating, kill at this time, I am only afraid that there will be more than one auspicious, it is better to temporarily retreat to the land of Henan, wait for the reinforcements to gather, and then go north......"

Liu Ci looked away, looked at Gao Ping from afar, and was silent.

Fan Aineng stared at Liu Ci's face: "Cao Shuai's letter...... Jie Shuai also received it, right? ”

The corners of Liu Ci's mouth twitched, and he turned his face to look at Fan Aineng: "Brother, do you think that Cao Shuai will ask you and me to withdraw from the army?" ”

Fan Aineng smiled: "Cao Shuai naturally won't say it explicitly, but the reason for it, Jie Shuai should also understand——"

Liu Ci shook his head: "Lao Tzu is too lazy to understand-"

He sat up straight on his horse and said to his soldiers, "Listen up...... Since coming out of Heyang, for the past 15 days, the daily march has been no more than 20 miles, and the old man of the cardinal mansion urged a certain family to march to Gaoping day and night, and a certain family is sympathetic to you, and the emperor Lao Tzu is sympathetic to a certain family, so that we can walk slowly for many days...... Today, the two countries are fighting, and the emperor with the forbidden army is in front of us, and he is also rushing ahead of us. When the old emperor was alive, he was like this, whenever he faced the enemy, he would risk the arrows and stones, and a certain family read few books, and he didn't know what loyalty was, but the emperor was worthy of us, and we must also be worthy of the emperor...... This time I stepped forward, if I regretted death, a certain family would not forgive......"

Fan Aineng listened to this, slowly let go of his hand, and the expression on his face became cold: "Hao Qian, I have good intentions, but you treat it as a fart, no matter what, your own family is willing to die, who will stop you?" It's just that you have to think about it, the emperor is still difficult to protect himself at the moment, in Daliang City, which one has the final say in the future, it is not yet known at this moment, if all your belongings are thrown in Gaoping, even if Cao Shuai is willing to protect you, how can you gain a foothold? If the emperor is lucky enough not to die, you may be able to increase your own official ranks, but your soldiers will be damaged too much, can the court give you a supplement? For the dead and mutilated brothers, will there be a mercy code in the Chinese book? If the emperor dies in Gaoping, who will you show your loyalty, righteousness and blood, a certain is to remember the friendship in the river back then, and mention it to you, and change Lao He, I don't bother to say that you are too lazy to say it"

Liu Ci raised his head slightly and said, "Let it go......"

Fan Aineng was stunned, Liu Ci had already slapped him with a backhand, and on this day, Fan Aineng stayed in front of the two armies for a whole hour and a half, and it was not until this moment that he really saw blood - the corners of his mouth were dripping with blood, and he was shocked and angry, looking at Liu Ci who suddenly turned his face, and opened his big mouth with a few teeth missing, and he couldn't speak anymore.

Liu Ci's eyes were wide open, his waist was straight on horseback, and he turned his head and shouted: "If the emperor is still alive...... The grandfathers rescued the emperor; If the emperor dies—the grandfathers will cut down the one surnamed Liu to avenge the emperor—go—"

As he spoke, he whipped his horse and whipped away.

Behind him, two thousand town soldiers rolled forward, drowning Fan Aineng and other defeated generals in the dust.

……

Unconsciously, Chai Rong was less than a hundred steps away from Liu Min's Chinese army......

Chai Rong himself doesn't know how many people died along the way, in short, as his front tooth soldiers slowly moved north, it was not so convenient under the hooves of the war horse, except that the dead man was a dead horse, and he would slide on the shield when he stepped on it, among these people there were enemies and his own people, the specific number was not clear, the only change Chai Rong could feel was that the queue of tooth soldiers in front of him was becoming more and more sparse, and the arrows that shot at him through them gradually became denser. The weapon in the hand of Zhao Kuangyin, who was opening the way in front, had been replaced by a long-handled iron bone at this moment, and the original horse lance had already been broken, and I didn't know where to throw it.

An arrow flew, penetrating from the left shoulder armor leaf that Zhao Kuangyin had spread out, stuck in the gap between the clavicle, Zhao Kuangyin had no time to wrap it, Tie Guduo put it horizontally on the saddle, freed his right hand to grasp the arrow shaft like lightning, his wrist was forceful, he gritted his teeth and snorted, and the arrow shaft was broken. The sound of bone cracking was still clearly heard on the battlefield where the screams were shattering, and the soldier's teeth flew out of his mouth with blood stains, and his jaw was slapped into it by more than an inch, and he didn't even have time to scream before he rolled his eyes and fainted.

At this time, there were less than three hundred people alive around Chai Rong, and the battle was fought to this point, Chai Rong found that he couldn't intervene at all, the tooth soldiers blocked around him like a wall, and almost all the arrows shot around him were blocked, even if a few occasionally shot in front of him, either they had lost their heads crookedly, or they were not strong enough to hit his armor and then bounce to the side, at first he was still carrying a sword in his hand, and after lifting it for a while, he found that there was almost no chance to use it- No one would let anyone come and fight the emperor himself—he simply returned his sword to its sheath and took off the longbow that hung from his saddle.

Chai Rong himself is not a monarch who is known for his martial arts, but this is also compared to whom, and Zhao Kuangyin's fierce man who is trapped in a formation, ten Chai Rong is not lucky. However, as a prince who has followed Guo Wei for many years, he is no stranger to the bow and horse, although he can't reach the level of pointing and shooting at the kind of fine seal Minda, it is much better than a certain waste wood captain who is known for his bravery and respects virtue but has just learned to ride a horse.

Originally, the front row of tooth soldiers was densely guarded, Chai Rong held a bow in his hand, but there was no practical opportunity, at this moment the effect of long-term white-knuckle combat began to show, both the Zhou army and the Han army began to be a little sparse in front of them, but the people on both wings became denser and denser, and the battle became more and more intense...... Chai Rong finally saw a loophole, took an arrow and drew a bow, and shot an arrow with a whoosh.

He shot the Han lord in the distance......

Liu Min couldn't sit still for a long time, although the frontal impact launched by Chai Rong personally was fierce, but because of the weak troops, he didn't care at first, that is, at this moment, the ten commanders in front of the Han army have all been defeated and disabled, and it has not shaken Liu Min, who is accustomed to seeing wind and waves, both he and Chai Rong understand in their hearts that the desperate battle between the king and the king in the center is actually not the core of the war, and it is not the center that determines the victory or defeat at all, but the two wings.

Whether Zhang Yuanhui defeated Shi Yanchao first, or Zhang Yongde defeated Li Cunhuan first, this is what Liu Min is most nervous about at the moment.

Tens of thousands of troops on both sides stirred up a fight, at the moment what clever plan does not work, the Han army has a slight advantage in terms of strength, and there are Khitan friendly troops in the flank sweeping formation, since the beginning of the war can be said to have the upper hand steadily, as soon as the battle is engaged, the Zhou army's strongest right army cavalry thousands of people will collapse instantly, this accident is not only unexpected by Chai Rong, even Liu Min was quite caught off guard, for a time there was something wrong with the deployment of troops, Hao Chaogui received an order, led three thousand foot soldiers from the east side of the battle, to support Zhang Yuanhui's department, Shi Yanchao led more than 1,000 people to join the chaotic battle on the right flank of the Zhou army, attacking Zhang Yuanhui's troops from the west, which caused Zhang Yuanhui, who had almost controlled the eastern position, to feel a headache - although Shi Shouxin's troops had less than 200 remnants left, they were still firmly nailed to the position of the right flank of the Zhou army like a nail, and the banner never fell.

The changes in the Chinese army of the Han army weakened the frontal defense, and the former army Li Cunhuan was facing the fierce attack of Zhang Yongde's department, and he couldn't spare his hand to block the forbidden army of Chai Rong's department, which made Chai Rong, who was heavily protected by the tooth soldiers, rub under Liu Min's nose step by step.

The confrontation between the Zhou army and the Han army in front of him, Liu Min could see it clearly, he knew in his heart that this kind of tragic battle would never last, although the Chinese army had been almost penetrated, the danger was not great, the real crisis was on the west side, the troops of the former army Li Cunhuan had begun to scatter slightly under Zhang Yongde's attack, and the collapse seemed to be only a matter of time, but Zhang Yuanhui still did not show signs of a quick victory in a short period of time, which was the most anxious thing for the Northern Han lord.

Looking at the fat enemy general in the distance who smashed the nose of one of his own metropolitan colonels with iron bones, he sighed slightly in his heart, and he also recognized the capital colonel, the second son of Duan Chang's family, the squire of the military department, had just married the youngest daughter of the privy deputy envoy Wang Yanhei's family, and the new marriage was less than two months old......

However, soon he didn't have the heart to lament the Duan family's misfortune anymore......

Daxu, who was less than ten steps away from him, suddenly fell to the ground......

The flag officer in charge is Xue Jien's favorite fake son, this time, Xue Jien recommended him to be the flag officer, and he was originally mixed with a military merit. In this regard, Liu Min himself does not care, these godsons have a lot of open and secret fights with each other, as long as it is harmless, he generally will not care.

In fact, Chai Rong's arrow didn't hit him, the distance was too far, and the arrow barely reached him, and then fell to the ground and landed in front of the flag officer's eyes.

This was the first arrow that fell in front of Daxu and the flag bearer since the beginning of the war......

As a result, the flag officer, who is also Liu Min's great-grandson in terms of seniority, resolutely and decisively let go, turned around, spread his legs and ran away......

At this moment, Liu Min's lungs were almost about to explode.

Just when the pro-soldiers in front of the emperor were surprised one by one, the white-haired emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty himself stood up quickly, strode to the front of the big curtain, bent down to help the big curtain, and ignored the two arrows that shot at his side. A soldier came over and wanted to take over the big book, but Liu Min shook his head and refused.

The Chinese army is already in danger, and every force is precious at the moment.

The next moment, the elderly emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty waved the Da Xu, and the fluttering flag of the hunt marked the existence of the emperor, and the Han soldiers in the distance and near were stacked one by one and struggled forward. Chai Rong aimed at Liu Min and shot a few arrows, but missed, and then the Northern Han sergeant stepped forward and sealed the front of the Zhou army again......

Zhao Kuangyin smashed an enemy general off the horse along with the knife in his hand, and looked at the enemy troops around him with a heavy breath, the wound on his right shoulder was basically numb, and he didn't think about this question at all......

At this moment, Wang Dezhong, who was standing behind and observing the entire battle, suddenly his face sank, and his eyes were full of anger.

Even at the most intense moment of the battle on the middle line, Wang Dezhong never glanced at this side, and his eyes were always staring at the movement in the west......
