"The Khitan came so quickly?" Da Ming'an was very surprised, this was beyond his expectations, his face sank, and he asked the ranger, "How many armies are coming from the Khitan?" ”

The Khitan military strength in Liaodong was previously focused on Jian'an City, and after the capture of Jian'an City, the Khitan army in Liaodong lost its main force, which can be said to have been fundamentally injured. According to the previous military report, Damingan and others did not know that Yelu Abaoji had a plan to send troops to aid Liaodong. At present, the Khitan army is concentrated on the western front, and some time ago, Li Congjing used Yelu Deguang in Danzhou, which attracted the attention of Yelu Abaoji, and the Khitan response to Liaodong was quite slow, which allowed the Bohai army to successfully take the opportunity to achieve fruitful results in Liaodong.

I thought that according to the current speed of the Bohai State army, before the capture of the entire Liaodong, the Khitan reinforcements would not come, but at the moment, everyone is underestimating Yelu Abaoji, not to mention that it is still too early to capture the entire Liaodong, Jian'an has only just been in the bag, and it has not yet been digested, and the Bohai State army has suffered great losses in manpower and material resources after the Jian'an battle, and it is not time to recover now, and the Khitan army has already been killed in front of them, so how can they deal with it?

"The Khitan vanguard army is about 5,000 horsemen, less than 100 miles away from Jian'an City, and it can be reached in a day; There are more than 50,000 follow-up troops, and there are still two hundred miles away from here, most of which are foot soldiers, and they can come here in three days! The ranger affirmed.

His information was extremely accurate, obviously not an ordinary scout, in fact, he was an elite trained by the elite soldiers of the Military Intelligence Service under the command of Tao Yaoyao. When the organization of the Military Intelligence Department was established, one-third of them came from the elite scouts of the Hundred Battles Army, and they were already good at detecting enemy situations, and after so many years of development, they were even better at it. It is really a simple matter to find out the whereabouts of the enemy, estimate the number of enemy troops, and then calculate the time for the enemy to reach the designated place according to their footsteps.

"One day...... Three days ......" Da Ming'an chewed these two words, repeating them over and over again, feeling a heart like sinking into the sea.

In the past few days after the capture of Jian'an City, Da Ming'an's self-confidence has been unprecedentedly high, and he even gave birth to a kind of "Zhongxing Bohai, who else can I be", in the face of Mo Li, he is no longer as obedient as before, because he feels that he is no longer what it used to be. He can even capture Jian'an City, what else can't he do?

Conquering Jian'an City, of course, relied on Mo Li's strategy, but after all, strategy was only an auxiliary, and he thought that he could stand in this city, and the role he played was the greatest. Moreover, now more than half of the mobile army of the Bohai Kingdom is in his hands, and he has suddenly taken power to this point, and it is difficult not to think of himself.

It is precisely because of this that when Mo Li said what Fang Cai said, although Da Ming'an said that his words were reasonable, he was "serious", this is because he felt that he saw more accurately and profoundly, and he felt that his insight and strategy had been able to surpass Mo Li, and he could be compared with Mo Li at the worst, so he would say this, so he dared to say this.

Humble people, after a sudden achievement, tend to burst with self-confidence, despise the common people, feel that they are extremely great, and thus give birth to an abominable pride, and they tend to express this arrogance very obviously.

"Attacking Jian'an City for so long, Yelu Abaoji didn't send reinforcements to arrive, Jian'an City has just been down, but the Khitan reinforcements are already close at hand, how fast they came, how strange!" Da Ming'an muttered to himself, but then, there was a gas flame in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, "What if the Khitan army is here?" What if he has an army of 50,000? I'm still afraid of them! In the past, I didn't capture half of Liaodong, I didn't have such a strong city as Jian'an, and I wasn't afraid of the Khitan, but now I have 100,000 troops in hand, will I still be scared back by the Khitan? If the Khitan dares to come, don't I dare to fight? ”

He turned around, his eyes were fierce, and he ordered the military envoy who was following him, "Pass the order, fight with all the arms, and fight with the Khitan in Jian'an City!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" The military envoy quickly agreed, and he did not hesitate to Da Ming'an's military orders. Since the battle in Liaodong, under the "leadership" of Damingan, they have captured half of Liaodong, and now they have captured Jian'an, the first city in Liaodong.

The respectful attitude of the military envoy made Da Ming'an feel better about himself, and he didn't even have a heroic feeling for no reason, and said: "I have 100,000 heroes, and I have such a strong city, not to mention that the Khitan only came with 50,000 people, even in the face of 100,000 or 200,000 Khitan troops, they don't want to take Jian'an from me!" ”

Li Siping's lips moved, he glanced at Mo Li, and saw that Mo Li's face was expressionless, and he did not oppose Da Ming'an's opinion, so he said: "What His Royal Highness said is very true, after days of fighting, most of our army has become elite, and it can compete with the Khitan. ”

This is indeed his inner thoughts, not a compliment, unlike Mo Li, an "outsider", Li Siping was just an ordinary prince in Daming'an, and when he had no ambitions and no strength, he had already followed him, so it can be said that he watched Daming'an go from having nothing to now holding great power and becoming a pivotal minister in the country. This step by step, although there are countless hardships, but Li Siping's confidence in Daming'an is not the same as in the past, he sees today's Daming'an, just like seeing the future of Bohai Kingdom. He has confidence in the future of the Bohai Kingdom.

Da Ming'an and Li Siping's current expressions can be called singing and harmonizing, Mo Li's face is expressionless, and he is noncommittal about Da Ming'an and Li Siping's decision. He opened the folding fan and shook it gently on his chest, and the slightest cool breeze hit his chest and face, so that his heart was also calm. In this decision-making, he never said a word, as if he was out of the matter.

Whether it is to help Da Ming'an seize power, attack Liaodong, or even ascend to the future throne of the Bohai Kingdom, Mo Li's role is just a consultant, he is not a Bohai person, and Da Ming'an has no friendship, and his temperament is as free and easy as him, when Da Ming'an respectfully asks him, he is willing to give advice, but when Da Ming'an can't listen to objections, he has no interest in "bitter advice".

For Da Ming'an, Mo Li is an outsider; For Mo Li, how is Da Mingan not an outsider?

Da Ming'an didn't respect Mo Li, Mo Li naturally didn't have the heart to show off the ink with a shy face, which was an insult to his talent. The goods in his stomach will only be taken out on occasions that suit their status. This is his pride, and it is also his pride as a talent.

Mo Li didn't speak, and Da Ming'an didn't have the intention of pulling down his face to ask Mo Li's advice at this time, he wanted to ask Mo Li's opinion, after all, Mo Li's opinion has always been straight to the core, but now Mo Li's expression is light, Da Ming'an feels that he is the dignified prince of Bohai and the commander of the army of Bohai State, Da Ming'an, can he still walk without him? Then he asked no more.

"Since you have no objections, the matter has been decided." Daming An said, muttering, "Defend the city in the field, guard the lonely city like a dead ear, since the vanguard of the Khitan army first arrived in Jian'an, then our army will fight with it in the field, and strive to defeat it in one fell swoop, so that not only can weaken the strength of the Khitan army, but also kill the momentum of the Khitan army!" ”

Li Siping thought for a while and said, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Mo Li was too lazy to speak, bowed his hand slightly to Da Ming'an, and turned straight away.

Although Mo Li is a little "arrogant", he has no "arrogance" on weekdays, all he has is an implicit and unrevealed "arrogant bone", in general, Mo Li is a very good person, because he will look at everyone equally, whether this person is a person in a high position in power, or an ordinary sergeant or ordinary people. Now, Mo Li is not even interested in staying with Da Ming'an, and Tao Yao is lazy and arrogant, so he will not continue to stay in front of Da Ming'an, so he left with Mo Li.

As soon as the two of them left, the dozen or so soldiers of the MI Department who were behind them also left. The number of people beside Da Ming'an suddenly decreased by half, which made the scene in the field look a little weird. And now those who are left by Da Ming'an's side, except for Li Siping, a very small number of scribes, are all generals in the army, and one of them said to Da Ming'an indignantly: "Your Highness, these people are so rude, Your Highness didn't speak, they left on their own, it's really arrogant!" Please order Your Highness to take these people down and put them in prison, so as to uphold the authority of Your Highness! ”

When Mo Li and Tao Yaoyao left, Da Ming'an's face was very ugly, but he was not a cruel person after all, and he couldn't do it if he wanted him to detain Mo Li and Tao Yaoyao because of this little thing. Moreover, this general of the Bohai Kingdom doesn't know, but Da Ming'an knows it clearly, how easy is it to take down Mo Li and Tao Yao? The sharp soldiers beside them are not ordinary.

In fact, until today, Da Ming'an doesn't know how many such people Mo Li and Tao Yaoyao brought to Bohai Kingdom, and how many people they brought with them this time. It's ridiculous, but it's true. For this reason, Da Ming'an had specially asked Mo Li how many soldiers from the military intelligence department were guarding them, but Mo Li did not answer him directly, but just smiled and said: "It is enough to deal with all needs." ”

Enough for everything, this is an arrogant statement. However, whether it was in the Bohai State before, or now going to Liaodong, wherever there is a need to use military intelligence, they can indeed complete the situation in time, which makes Da Mingan have to admit the truth of this matter.

Da Ming'an suddenly thought, does the "all needs" in Mo Li's mouth also contain the power of the military intelligence department to protect Mo Li and Tao Xiaoxiao and retreat under special circumstances? Do these special circumstances also include the fact that the general of the Bohai State said, the army has to take them into custody, or the defeat of the Bohai army?

Thinking of this, Da Ming'an suddenly realized that not everyone and everything were under his control. Even if it's just what he thinks he's in control.
