Life needs a goal to run forward, and there is a reason to do something with confidence.

Heavy snow fell for several days, and the mountains were raised on the flat ground, and the avenues were blocked, and the march became extremely difficult. When the snow stopped, the scouts returned from stepping on the snow, Li Congjing got the military report, and the three Khitan Middle Route Army led by Yelu Abaoji had completed the direction reversal, and formed a siege for the gentlemen who were fighting between Shuangtong, Yitai and Jiuyang. This illustrates a problem: the whereabouts of the coalition forces led by Li Congjing were not discovered by Yelu Abaoji. This also means that the situation has undergone two changes, one is that the coalition forces have turned from crisis to safety; Second, gentlemen are in a difficult situation.

The coalition forces now only need to continue to silence their flags, conceal their whereabouts, and wait for the left flank (west road) of the Khitan army in front of them to completely pass, and then they can gallop south almost unimpeded according to the plan, so as to complete the strategic transfer.

At this time, Li Congjing, the commander of the coalition army, issued a military order that shocked the senior generals of the whole army.

As the core figures who knew the situation and direction of the coalition army, Da Mingan and Li Siping were surprised after receiving this abrupt military order, and immediately went to see Li Congjing non-stop. The shock brought to them by the military order was so great that they ignored it for the time being, and Li Congjing did not consult them at all before issuing this military order. This usually means that there are two situations, one is extremely urgent, and the other is that Li Congjing was resolute when he issued the military order, and the military order was unquestionable and non-negotiable.

After seeing Li Congjing, Da Ming'an and Li Siping immediately experienced the impact of the latter, which they ignored.

In the military tent, the clerks of various departments are still busy performing their duties, lively and quiet. The handsome case was full of papers, and the hill was also like it, and Li Congjing, who was brightly dressed, stood behind the handsome case, looking at the map hanging on the curtain wall - it was covered with various marks.

"General Li, the coalition forces want to abandon the southward march and attack the Khitan left flank? We have just avoided the Khitan army, and there is hope for a breakthrough, why did we suddenly change our military strategy at this time? "Entering the account, seeing the courtesy, Da Ming'an and Li Siping couldn't wait to express the doubts in their hearts.

Li Congjing turned around, pillowed a huge map, and looked at Li Siping and Da Ming'an with calm eyes, "The two of you came just in time, Ben Shuai just has something to do, and I want to discuss with the two." ”

Da Ming'an and Li Siping glanced at each other, and both found that the other party was relieved, Li Siping gave up his hand, "The coalition army is waiting to break through, and at this time, take the initiative to attack the left flank of the Khitan, expose the position of the coalition army, and attract attention in vain, which is really not conducive to the southward movement of the army, and this matter is indeed open to discussion." ”

Li Congjing was slightly stunned, showing a hint of surprise, and then this change in expression disappeared invisibly, "This commander wants to discuss with the two of you, there is another matter." ”

This time, it was Da Ming'an and Li Siping's turn to be stunned, "Something else?" After a pause, Da Ming'an asked, "I don't know what's going on?" ”

Li Congjing said lightly: "After the coalition forces broke through, there is no doubt that they will go south to Yalu Mansion, but His Royal Highness the Prince does not have to accompany him, but should return to Beijing." ”

When he said this, Li Congjing was indifferent and calm, but the words fell on the hearts of Da Ming'an and Li Siping, but it was tantamount to thunder on the ground, which was quite shocking and endless, which made the two of them stunned again. Suddenly, his expression changed several times, this is not that Da Mingan and Li Siping are careless, it is really what Li Congjing said, it is too unexpected.

"Why is that?" Li Siping was puzzled, and after the words came out, he finally realized something, and gave up his hand again, "General Li has any plans, you might as well tell me to wait." ”

Li Congjing pulled out his horizontal knife, turned around, and pointed to the map, "Two of you, please see, at present, the Khitan army of 200,000 troops, one is stationed in Fuzhou to defend the rear and logistics, one is to the south to conquer Changling Mansion, Yalu Mansion, and Nanhai Mansion, and the other is attracted by us in the land of Shuangtong, Yitai, and Jiuyang. But broken but not destroyed, since it can be broken and re-established, now that our coalition army jumped out of the three cities of Yitai, and turned to the south, I will ask the two, where will the 100,000 army led by Yelu Abaoji go in the future? ”

"This" Da Ming'an and Li Siping looked at each other, it was not that they hadn't thought about this problem, but the situation was unclear and they hadn't thought it through.

Li Congjing was prescient, and he didn't expect Da Ming'an and Li Siping to answer, and continued: "It's nothing more than two choices, either follow our coalition army southward and encircle our coalition army with the southern Khitan army, or slightly divide its troops, so that the Khitan army in Fuzhou and the south road will trap us and others, and its main force can still go straight to Beijing through Xiande Mansion!" ”

"If he chooses the former, in the face of nearly 200,000 troops, with tens of thousands of troops in our region, he will definitely not be able to defeat it, and it will even be difficult to protect himself; If it chooses the latter, and there is no strong person in Beijing, it is easy to overcome it, and at that time, the king will be destroyed, the Bohai Sea will be destroyed, and we will suddenly become a tree without a source of water and no roots. ”

At this point, Li Congjing withdrew the horizontal knife, put it in the sheath, stood in front of him, and looked at Li Siping and Da Ming'an with sharp eyes, "If the situation really develops like this, the coalition army and Bohai will all fall into a mortal situation!" ”

Da Ming'an and Li Siping couldn't help but change their colors, neither of them saw the situation so thoroughly and far-reaching as Li Congjing did, let alone expected that it would be such a situation in the future, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and fell into confusion and hesitation.

The reason why the Bohai War situation is the current situation, to get to the bottom of it, is that Li Congjing planned before, the plan to trap the Khitan army in Buyeo went bankrupt, and now, it is no longer realistic to resist the Khitan army head-on, and the coalition army is forced to fight in the rear of the Khitan army, which makes the situation to a certain extent, have the meaning of returning to the original point.

Da Ming'an and Li Siping were at a loss for a while, but Li Congjing had already seen the way forward for them, and he said: "The coalition army is going south to fight, and His Royal Highness the Prince is returning to Beijing, which is the key to breaking the situation." After His Royal Highness returned to Beijing, he should do his best to issue a mobilization order with the heavy power accumulated over the years, calling on the whole country to work together to resist foreign enemies, and at the same time, recruit young and strong people to enlist in the army to defend the royal capital in Beijing. In this way, if Yelu Abaoji attacks the coalition forces in the south, His Highness can attack them from behind; If Yelu Abaoji marches into Xiande Mansion and Shangjing, His Royal Highness can defend the royal capital, and we will attack from behind. In this way, echoing from end to end, invoking each other, and putting the Khitan army in the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly, we can turn the passive into the active, and only then can we hope to win this war! ”

Two days later, a great battle broke out outside a small castle called Hina Castle without warning.

Before the start of the war, three feet of snow had not yet melted.

At the end of the war, there was no snow on the ground, only a river of red water, which washed away the snow without a trace.

The Youzhou and Bohai coalition forces, which had not been seen for many days, returned to the military and civilian field of vision after this battle. After this battle, the coalition army jumped out of the encirclement of the Khitan army of 100,000 and swept southward with great fanfare.

And no one knew that on the way of the unscrupulous battle of the coalition army, Da Ming'an, the prince of the Bohai Kingdom, had quietly separated from the brigade, escorted by a team of elites, disguised and sneaky, trekked through mountains and rivers, and returned to Longquan Mansion in Shangjing.

A few days ago, after Li Congjing put forward a proposal to let Damingan return to Beijing, Damingan finally decided that this was the only way to break the situation after careful consideration, so he decided to return to Beijing.

At that time, regarding the fact that the coalition forces took the initiative to attack the left flank of Yelu Abaoji, in the face of the doubts of Damingan and Li Siping, Li Congjing only said two words, so that the two had no objections.

He said: "The life of the coalition army is obtained by the gentlemen who put themselves to death, and now that the coalition forces are about to break through, there is no reason not to open a door for the gentlemen." ”

He also said: "My soldiers, you can be in danger and die nine times, but you must not be sent to death." ”

The battle outside the Hina City, on the way to the encirclement of the left flank of the Khitan Army to Shuangtong, thought that the Youzhou Army and the Bohai Navy were in the front encirclement, and all the attention was on the left flank of the Khitan Army in front, and he did not expect to kill tens of thousands of troops from the flank.

In the first battle, the main force of the left flank of the Khitan army was defeated, and the coalition forces took it when they saw it, and then withdrew, without giving the other party a chance to entangle themselves. And the cut off safari of the military intelligence department and the scouts of the Hundred Battles Army hunted and killed all the Khitan rangers who tried to keep up with the coalition forces.

The battle of Hina Cheng caused Yelu Abaoji to encircle Shuangtong, Yitai, and Jiuyang's left flank was severely damaged, and there was a gap in the encirclement, and the exposure of the coalition army also made Yelu Abaoji realize that the active between Shuangtong, Yitai, and Jiuyang was just a partial division used by Li Congjing to confuse him - and because of the heavy snow for many days before, Yelu Abaoji did not find this problem in time. As a result, Yelu Abaoji had to face a choice: whether to turn to catch up with the coalition forces that had been exposed, or continue to deal with the coalition divisions between Shuangtong, Yitai, and Jiuyang.

With excellent strategy, the death of the gentleman, and the help of time, Li Congjing led the coalition army to get out of the embarrassing situation of being trapped in Shuangtong, Yitai, and Jiuyang in one fell swoop, and then went straight to Hezhou

A few days ago, the Khitan Southern Route Army was already attacking Hezhou. At the time of the heavy snow in Buyeo, there was no wind and snow in Hezhou, so before the coalition army arrived in Hezhou, Li Congjing got the news that Hezhou had been conquered by the Khitan Southern Route Army.

When the coalition army was entangled with the Khitan North Route Army and the Middle Road in the northeast of Fuyu Province in the land of Shuangtong, Yitai and Jiuyang, the Khitan South Route Army, which was not "cared for" or contained by the coalition army, was advancing all the way. 50,000 cavalry, almost effortlessly, captured the major towns in Changling Mansion, and when the coalition army turned to the south, the Khitan Southern Route Army had already stepped through Changling Mansion and entered the territory of Yalu Mansion, preparing to attack Xijing of Bohai State.

As the war continues, the three years of Tongguang are also coming to an end, which means that in two days, it will be another year and another year's Spring Festival.

For the Tang Dynasty, during the Spring Festival, there were not only the Youzhou army, but also the Shu army. For Li Cunmiao, the current helmsman of the Tang Dynasty, this year is undoubtedly a bumper year, and the success of the Shu harvest alone is enough to cover all the shortcomings.

However, the Tang Emperor Li Cunmiao, who was in his prime, was not in a good mood in this Spring Festival, which should be full of joy and hope.

In this year, because of the destruction of Shu in two months, the princes of the world looked sideways, and even the Tang Dynasty was in danger to everyone, but a storm that surprised everyone was brewing. Except for the young general who fought in the Bohai Kingdom, no one knew how this storm would shock the four seas, and what kind of storm it would sweep in the world, thus changing the general trend of the entire world.

No one knows how many princes and generals will be affected by this storm, how many people and even the fate of many vassal states will be changed.

And everything happened from a woman.
