(Second update.) ）

Han Yanhui shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that the vanguard army has already encountered the enemy army at this time, and it will be too late to retreat at this time!" ”

"Is it too late?" Yelu Abaoji showed a meaningful look, "I'm afraid not." ”

Han Yanhui's eyes lit up, "The emperor has already made a calculation?" ”

"Although the Northern Route Army was defeated, after all, there were 30,000 troops, and the enemy army could win it, and the cost would not be small; Although the vanguard army is only 10,000 people, it is an elite, and even if it encounters some trouble, it will not be easily defeated; And if I send reinforcements from the elite cavalry, I will be there in half a day. Yelu Abaoji's eyes were deep, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "If the enemy army does not engage the vanguard army, it will be fine, if there is a battle, when the reinforcements I send arrive, it will be a situation of mutual penetration, at this time your own new force joins, you say, is the enemy army defeated, or undefeated?" ”

Han Yanhui was overjoyed, "This is the only good opportunity for our army to turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory!" ”

Yelu Abaoji looked further, and he continued: "Those who can quickly defeat the 30,000 Northern Route Army must be the absolute main force and elite of the enemy, according to the military report, the main attack in the previous battle is the Youzhou Army, if this battle can defeat and annihilate this part of the Youzhou Army, then the war here has been decided." No matter how strategic Li Congjing is, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so she can only admit defeat and death! ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Han Yanhui admired, "But I didn't expect that the situation would have such a change!" Underestimating the enemy's rash advance, on the contrary, it has achieved a good opportunity to destroy the enemy. ”

"There will always be fighters, it depends on whether the commander can seize it." Yelu Abaoji smiled.

"Dare to ask the emperor, what do you want to send to reinforce the vanguard?"

Yelu Abaoji was confident, "There should not be too many reinforcements, otherwise the speed of the march will be slowed down and the fighters will be delayed, as long as they are elite." This trip is none other than the nearest department! ”

Hearing these three words, Han Yanhui's expression was dazed.

It was one of Yelu Abaoji's two imperial pro-armies, and its combat power surpassed hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops

"General, what's the name of this place?"

"Blackstone Ridge. What is this, you ask? ”

"It's nothing, just ask, hehe."

Meng Ping looked at Yang Chongba, who was scratching his head in front of him, although he knew in his heart that the other party was insincere, he didn't ask more. The rocks at the foot are black, which is probably why the place is called Blackstone Ridge. His gaze fell to the surroundings, and he saw the soldiers of the coalition infantry lurking in the forest, and the vision in front of him was very broad, under the mountains and forests, there was an avenue, and the fields in the distance were barren, but the color was strange. This is where the army fought with the Khitan Northern Route Army before.

Yang Chongba sat on the stones, holding a horizontal knife in his arms, looking at the battlefield of the day, motionless. The stars are like the sea, the night is not dark, but the vision is not clear, Yang Chongba's gaze at this time will be very difficult and tired.

Meng Ping knew in his heart that the reason why Yang Chongba asked the name of this place was to remember the place where he had fought, bled and buried his comrades in life and death, and even this could be the place where he buried his own bones - or maybe he only died in battle, but did not bury his bones, and his body was exposed to the wilderness and was eaten by birds and beasts.

Remembering places that fought, not just remembering place names. But in any case, the name needs to be known.

This is a complex that belongs to a warrior and a soldier. This complex is not difficult to understand, everyone has it, but the reasons for remembering it are different. Huanwen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when he was conquering the Central Plains in the north, he passed by his hometown and saw that the willow trees planted 20 years ago were like shady, so he sighed: The tree is still like this, how can people be worthy. That's it.

It's just that the warriors are lonely, they fight, bleed, die, and are not seen by the living, and there is no trace, so their complexes also seem thick and sad.

The winter night was bitterly cold, the mountain wind was like crying, as an ambush army, but could not light a fire, the soldiers swallowed dry food with ice water, and kept exhaling a cloud of hot air to the swords and arrows in their hands, rubbing and rubbing, so as not to freeze the soldiers.

Da Ming Xing walked back and forth in the mountains and forests, inspecting the situation and boosting morale.

A group of elite horsemen stood on the road, the formation was as steady as the mountains, and Li Shaocheng sat on horseback, closing his eyes and resting his mind. The cold wind blew the black cloaks of the cavalry, moving like waves.

"The enemy is ten miles away!" There are scout returns.

Li Shaocheng was unmoved.

"The enemy army is eight miles away!"

"Five miles!"

"Sanli!"

"One mile!"

The sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the night.

Li Shaocheng opened his eyes abruptly and looked up at the ridge on one side.

The moon is on the top of the mountain, the night sky is pure, and the stars are falling. The green mountains are silent, and the trees are as quiet as a virgin.

A torch lit up on the ridge, and in an instant, the whole mountain was lit up.

The sound of killing was everywhere, falling from the sky.

Countless torches rained down into the Khitan army on the road, and the avenue suddenly brightened as day. The rain of arrows rose into the air, cutting an arc and revealing a curtain-like silhouette in the moonlight; Mountains and rocks are like floods, and rivers flow into the sea.

Li Shaocheng lifted the lance, pulled forward, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs, "Kill!" ”

All the armies come out together and kill the Khitan vanguard army!

In the barracks, the lights were bright, and Da Ming'an, who couldn't sleep peacefully, walked out of the big tent, stepped up to the corner tower, and climbed high and looked.

The barracks at his feet were as bright as day, but from afar he could only see the night, and nothing else.

Unlike Da Ming'an, who was in a thick robe, the sergeant who was originally standing on the corner tower was thinly clothed, but tonight seemed to be extremely cold, which made the sergeant shiver slightly and his teeth chatter.

Da Ming'an noticed the sergeant's embarrassment, his heart was touched, he stepped forward, took the halberd in the sergeant's hand, and said to him: "Give me the horn, I will come for you, and you will go to rest." ”

"Your Royal Highness, how can this be done!" The sergeant was genuinely afraid.

Da Ming'an pretended to be angry, and said with a straight face: "This is a military order!" ”

"Yes!" The sergeant didn't dare to say more, untied the horn and handed it to Da Ming'an, saluted with gratitude, and retreated.

Wearing a horn, holding the halberd, standing tall and standing tall, although the Buddha was blown by the cold wind, he was not moving like a pine at this time, and his heart was also a lot more stable.

Although, in fact, he didn't do anything.

But people are like this many times, when they feel uneasy, they always need to do something to comfort themselves. Now, Daming'an, who has shown kindness to his subordinates and acts as a sentinel, is like this.

There was still one person in the camp who couldn't sleep, he was walking around in the barracks, and when he saw Da Ming'an from a distance, he came over and climbed the corner tower and saluted Da Ming'an.

Da Ming didn't squint, but showed a smile, "Can't Mr. sleep?" ”

Li Siping had no intention of hiding his thoughts, and said sincerely: "The future is uncertain, and the future is unknown, how can I sleep peacefully?" ”

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, why should the gentleman be so worried?" Da Ming'an looked indifferent, "Moreover, the situation is getting better now, all departments are also moving, and even General Li has personally gone into battle, what else is there to worry about, sir?" The situation in the Bohai Kingdom will get better and better, and you should have this confidence. ”

Li Siping was smiling bitterly, until he heard the last sentence, he suddenly realized, immediately restrained his expression, and said solemnly: "Yes!" ”

Da Ming'an's last sentence was undoubtedly criticizing Li Siping, who should not wander around the barracks late at night and show his uneasiness to the soldiers. As a close minister of the Ming Dynasty, if he is so anxious and uneasy, ordinary soldiers will definitely think that the situation is grim, how can they not be panicked?

From this point of view, Da Ming'an smiled at this time, and it was just a matter of worry.

Da Ming'an had no intention of pursuing it, but he said with deep meaning: "Compared with you and me, those gentlemen seem to be much calmer and more relaxed, and even the lights in the tent are out, so they must be sleeping very peacefully." ”

Li Siping looked at Da Ming'an's eyes, and naturally knew who the other party was referring to. Li Congjing has led all the gentlemen to fight, but Mo Li, Wang Pu and another Youzhou army have stayed, and now, there is no light in the big tent of the two.

This bearing made Li Siping very impressed, and he said: "Don't hide it from His Royal Highness, General Li led the army into the Bohai Sea this time and fought a fierce battle with the Khitan army, which was very unexpected by the ministers. ”

Although Da Ming'an and Li Congjing have formed an alliance, there is a lot to say about the effectiveness of the covenant and how to view the covenant. In other words, even if Li Congjing wants to help Daming'an, there are many ways to attack Yingzhou, Liaodong, and even send troops to the Khitan country, and he can even send his generals to lead the army into the Bohai Sea. But Li Congjing is pro-Jing, although it is the most effective, it is undoubtedly the most dangerous choice for him. Therefore, even Li Siping never thought in advance that Li Congjing would really enter the Bohai Sea.

"Sir is trying to say that the body of a daughter does not sit in the hall, and the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall?" Da Ming'an saw through Li Siping's thoughts, saw Li Siping nodded, and smiled slightly, "If Li Congjing listens to Mr. 's words, he will definitely give a four-word evaluation." ”

"What four words?"

"Bullshit!"

Li Siping was stunned, but Da Ming'an smiled even more, "Who can avoid the danger of establishing great things in ancient and modern times?" People who avoid danger are different from rats? The coach avoids danger, how can the soldiers be willing to die for it? It's just going to be abandoned. In today's world, there are countless heroes, which one is not fought out in the sea of swords and fires? In this world, there is no body of gold, only chestnuts in the fire! ”

"Of course, that's not the most important thing." After a pause, Da Ming'an said again.

"What's the most important thing?"

"The most important thing is that I want to know, Li Congjing did not shy away from hardships and dangers, and did not hesitate to go to the Bohai Sea to fight in person, what is his plan?" Da Ming'an said quietly, his expression complicated.

Li Siping was stunned again.

Indeed, Li Congjing took such a big risk and made such a big effort, what did he want? What does he want? Everything has a reason, Li Congjing sent troops to the Bohai Sea, and the reason is naturally not as simple as having an alliance with Daming'an. This has to be thought-provoking, because there are infinite possibilities in it, good and bad, and the deeper you think about it, the more unsettling it becomes.

Li Siping couldn't imagine it, and Da Ming'an couldn't imagine it, which made their hearts feel like a layer of haze.

At the end, Da Ming'an smiled, put those miscellaneous thoughts away, and said: "In any case, Li Congjing's personal leadership of the army to fight in the Bohai Sea was beyond everyone's expectations, and he wanted to prevent the Khitan from annexing the Bohai Sea with his own strength, such a feat is indeed admirable." ”

Li Siping showed a look of approval and said with emotion: "Thinking about what others dare not think, he is a real strong man; To do what others can't do, is a true hero; If you can't do it to others, you are a true hero! Li Congjing, worthy of this title! ”

Da Ming'an smiled unabated, but said, "True hero? Then you have to wait for Li Congjing to really defeat Yelu Abaoji before you can count. ”
