(First update.) ）

The sun rises on the top of the mountain, and the wisps of red light leap down the mountain line, over the treetops, forming a curtain of light, and the birds in the forest flutter their wings and fly, and the sound of light falls into the small river with a gentle sound of fish.

The river reflected the crowd of people hurrying, and the queue stretched down the river for miles. On the riverbank, an army with fluttering flags and bright armor is marching in a strict queue, and the sound of thick and neat footsteps is like stepping on the heart of this piece of heaven and earth, and the rhythm is distinctive.

It's a group of young faces, on this young morning.

Li Yanchao glanced up at the place where the morning sun rose, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the morning light in autumn and winter had a different charm, like the hands of Yiren caressing, itchy.

His gaze fell again to the marching procession, the long line of soldiers of the Lu Long Army, solemn and solemn.

The terrain is complex and varied, but the road under your feet is quite wide, and although the soil on the road is compact, many places have not lost its fresh color, and it is obvious that this is a newly built and unused road.

Li Yanrao Ce immediately took two steps forward and walked side by side with Li Yanchao, and the speed of the war horse was not fast, which made the two look quite leisurely.

Li Yanrao said: "In the past two years, there has never been a major war in Youzhou, it can be described as leisurely and stable, and even the border is much calmer. The military marshal spent two years to lay out, and he played this big game of chess, which made people look sideways! ”

"I don't really see what kind of chess game the commander has laid out, but I know that it is not a simple matter to build such a road. Not to mention anything else, when I arrived in Youzhou at the beginning of the year, in the face of the Khitan barbarians who came and went like the wind, the road in Youzhou was not smooth, and Lu Longjun had no way to pursue and intercept it. My father had already thought of this. Li Yanchao's expression was slightly complicated, "But it wasn't until the military commander left Youzhou that Youzhou had the manpower and financial resources to build such an avenue." ”

Li Yanchao was silent for a moment, and then looked forward, the shadow of the post station had appeared in front of the road, and he continued: "The first emperor annexed the six countries, and built a large number of Chi roads to connect the north, south, west and east. As far as war is concerned, the road is smooth, and it is heavier than Mount Tai. ”

Li Yanchao laughed at himself, "Before I saw the military marshal, before I saw the martial arts academy, I always thought that war was a march and a war. Traveling a hundred miles, fighting fiercely with the enemy, holding on to a fortified city, and fighting fiercely with the enemy, this is what I understand as war. Later, I learned that the war involved much more than I imagined, so much so that I couldn't see through it for a while, and to win a war, especially a big war and a national war, the situation to be coordinated was much bigger than I imagined, so big that I didn't dare to control it at all. ”

"Looking at the history books, there are countless precocious and precocious talents, but I have never heard of such a precocious and precocious person as a military marshal." Li Yanrao shook his head, "Elite soldiers strengthen the army, strengthen armaments, build gallop roads, hoard grain and grass, and then move the military intelligence department, build a military academy, and set up a staff office, and the military commander's understanding of war is too much beyond us." ”

Li Yanchao pondered for a long time, raised his head, the morning light flowed on his face, he looked at Li Yanrao, and asked with bright eyes: "Perhaps, this is the root cause of the military commander's repeated defeats?" ”

Li Yanrao was stunned.

While the two were talking, the two horsemen rushed back from the front of the queue and stopped in front of Li Yanchao, one of the knights on the horse was dressed as a scout, and one was wearing a green robe with a crossbow, carrying a horizontal knife at his waist, and the saddle was also equipped with two short blades.

"Commander Zhao!" Li Yanchao clenched his fist at Zhao Xiangyao.

"General Lee." Zhao Xiangyao, who was full of wind and frost but had clear eyes, returned the salute, "The military commander ordered me to wait to meet you." ”

"How's the commander? How was the war in Yannan? Li Yanchao asked eagerly.

Zhao Xiangyao said: "The commander is safe, the battle is stalemate, and he is waiting for General Li to go to break the situation." ”

"Good! With you leading the way, I will let the army speed up its march and rush to the aid of Yannan! Li Yanchao said solemnly.

Zhao Xiangyao shook his head, looked at Li Yanchao and said: "The commander has an order, Lu Longjun does not need to rush to join the battlefield, he needs to continue to hide his whereabouts, and when the time is ripe, he will have his own military order to Lu Longjun." ”

Li Yanchao was stunned for a moment, Li Yanrao stepped forward and said: "Further north, it will be out of the boundary of Jizhou, not far from Yannan, and the Khitan rangers will definitely be everywhere at that time, and they want to continue to hide their whereabouts, it seems"

Before he finished his words, the meaning had been clearly expressed, Zhao Xiangyao glanced at Li Yanrao, and said lightly: "General Li has traveled all the way north, have you ever seen half a Khitan ranger?" ”

"Not really."

"In that case, do the two generals have any other questions? If not, I need to go back first and report the location of Lu Longjun to the commander. ”

A few days ago, Li Congjing received a report from the military intelligence department that in the direction of Yingzhou, there were more than 10,000 Khitan troops coming to Yannan again.

Although the Khitan army in Yannan and Yingzhou was divided into two places, they were both under the jurisdiction of Yelu Xuanyin, and the purpose of their stationing in the two places was to facilitate the fight with the Tang army. Now that the Hundred Battles Army was entangled in Yannan by Yelu Desire, he dispatched the Khitan Army of Yingzhou to come to support, seeking to defeat him completely, which did not surprise Li Congjing.

In some ways, Li Congjing even hoped that Yelu wanted to send reinforcements from Yingzhou.

After Kuchi Yesuer joined the battlefield, the Khitan army began to besiege the camp of the Hundred Battles Army, and at the same time, its attack on the camp of the Hundred Battles Army reached unprecedented intensity.

At this point, Li Congjing no longer made any reservations, similar to the day before yesterday, which deliberately exposed flaws and made Yelu want to break through the gate, naturally it will not happen again. Inside and outside this camp, the contest between the two armies began to show the fierceness it should be.

It was another day and dusk, and the places where the camp was engaged in battle, the smoke was billowing out, the burning rockets, the wreckage of the fence were groaning in pain, and the soldiers who were galloping back and forth were either changing their guards, or rescuing the wounded, and rushing to repair the fortifications under the orders of their respective teams and heads, and the temperature on the scene was much higher.

Li Congjing once did not avoid arrows and stones, and personally went to the front line to command and boost morale. When the fighting was interrupted, he inspected the battle circle, comforted the wounded, and encouraged the soldiers.

When they came down from the battlefield, the Khitan army launched another onslaught.

Li Congjing turned his head and saw flints rising into the sky in the dark night, and dense rockets were like a forest.

Under the night sky, on the brightly lit battlefield, countless soldiers operated crossbow arrows and catapults, and kept pouring the flames of war. Amidst the shouts and battles, Li Congjing's figure was tall and slender, and he suddenly smiled lightly, "The plan has been decided, the momentum has been achieved, and next, it's time to win or lose." ”
