On November 11, late at night, the frightened Changhan City was drowned in snowflakes flying in the sky, the tense atmosphere was suffocating under the rendering of the howling cold wind, everyone was helplessly waiting for the verdict of fate in fear, and dozens of miles outside the city, the control strings of the Dahe clan and the Bali clan were withdrawing eastward in the wind and snow, and more than ten miles behind them, the two alliance horse ranks followed and closely monitored.

In the alliance camp, the commanders of all the armies gathered in the commander's tent to discuss the next attack, and Li Fengyun did not appear for a long time because the negotiations with Naiman Qingchuan, Kulundawei and Ao Han Araa were still ongoing, so Hu Luba, who temporarily presided over the military meeting, became the object of the generals' questioning.

There is only one point of questioning, the treacherous scheme of Changhan City is on the surface, why does Li Fengyun turn a blind eye?

The loss of this time can be imagined, seriously endangering the survival of the ambush department, in desperation had to surrender to gain time, to delay the attack of the alliance army, to preserve their own strength to the greatest extent, and then patiently wait for the opportunity to counterattack, when the time comes, the two divisions that pretend to be divided can echo inside and outside, and join forces to flank the alliance army.

This plan is clumsy, and you can see through it at a glance. Li Fengyun will make a plan, pretending to accept that there is no mistake, what is wrong is that he should take Changhan City immediately after the Dahe clan and the Polli clan control the string withdraw, first control the Kulun clan and the Ao Han clan, and then chase down the Dahe clan and the Batri clan with the main force, and kill him a falling flower and flowing water, so that the thousands of families on both sides of the Hongshui River, and hundreds of thousands of clansmen, are the things in the bag of the alliance. After this heavy blow, the ambush department was dying, almost wiped out, and there was no possibility of turning over. And especially importantly, with the collapse of the Yaolai Department and the Fufu Department, the core strength of the Khitan Eight Alliance was wiped out, and the rest of the tribes could no longer pose a threat to the Alliance.

Such a good move to win, and a wonderful plan that can easily sweep both sides of the weak Luoshui, why did Li Fengyun abandon it?

Hu Luba also had the same question, and had already questioned Li Fengyun, so in the face of the unanimous questioning of the generals, he took a good time and calmly refuted it.

"This is chess, and it is also a yang scheme, but because it is a clear chess and a yang scheme, everyone can see it, understand it, and know how to deal with it, so the final winner is the real master." Hu Luba glanced at the generals obliquely, with a mocking look on his face, "In terms of the way of using troops, don't you all boast of being extraordinary, and you can compare to the general manager?" ”

"If we are pretentious and think highly of ourselves, how can we openly question the orders of the Governor?" Hu Yanjian sneered, "We are puzzled and need an explanation. Now that you are with the chief manager, you are involved in confidential information, and you know more secrets than we do, if you can reveal one or two to solve your confusion, of course, it is very good, if you can't disclose it, you can refuse directly, and there is no need to put on such a proud face. ”

Hu Luba was immediately embarrassed. Jingjiang Liujin Fei and Shan Songzi laughed, but Mi Yong and several big axes were indifferent and ignored. The other generals knew about their brothers' relationship and were unimpressed.

"Since the Izubu has come up with this plan, of course, we have guessed our countermeasures, and we must have made all preparations, that is to say, we can take Changhan City and control the Kulun clan and the Ao Han clan, but if we want to hunt down and kill the Dahe clan and the Balli clan, and kill him with a falling flower, it will definitely be difficult to do so." Hu Luba did not hide it, and said bluntly, "The northeast direction of the ambush department is the Diera Division, and the army led by Dahe Duluo to retreat eastward must retreat to the Diera Department for help." It is foreseeable that if we cannot defeat Dahe Da Dra, we will definitely be pinned down by Daga Da La, because Anaconda Niucheng, the capital of the Di Ra Ministry, is more than 700 li away from the main camp of Matsuyama Chifeng, and the battle line is too long, which is extremely unfavorable to our army. The result can be imagined, while we got the city of Changhan and occupied the Hongshui River, we were also dragged down by them, and we could not defeat the Daga Duluo, and we could not hold the existing results when we retreated, so we fell into a dilemma, and our more than 10,000 horse troops were successfully pinned down on both sides of the Hongshui River by Daga Duluo, and could not move. ”

The generals in the tent were thoughtful. If the alliance's more than 10,000 horse troops are pinned down by the Khitans on both sides of the Hongshui River, the impact on the alliance's northern expedition will not be too great, but fatal. Why did Li Fengyun personally lead the Ma army to the north? The reason is that the key to victory in this northern expedition lies in the Ma army, and it is necessary to use the flexibility of the Ma army to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Ma army.

Hu Luba saw the generals contemplating and contemplating, and secretly felt proud, "In the current situation, who can save Fubu and the Khitans?" Of course, it was the Turks, it was the Bulishi of the Song Desert Tooth Banner and the Turkic army, but the support of the Turks took time, and Dahe Duluo was caught off guard, and what was lacking was time, so he would rather give up Changhan City, but also stabilize us with deception, tempt us with Changhan City, and then ensure that he can successfully evacuate and preserve his strength, so that he can advance and retreat freely, and he can counterattack Changhan City and drag us down, and retreat can also lure the enemy deeper, or can drag us. As long as he drags us back, he will gain precious time and have the possibility of turning defeat into victory. ”

Then, Hu Luba patted the case and shouted at Hu Yanjian, "Do you still have questions?" If you don't understand, if you don't think about it, if you're stupid, I can say it again. ”

"I really don't get it." Hu Yanjian rolled his eyes and asked, "What is our mission?" It is to fight the Khitan, the enemy is unprepared to attack the enemy, and the Khitan is caught off guard, and the momentum of destruction and decay is killed. As for the support of the Turks, what do we have to do with it? Han Shige led the infantry army to block it head-on, and the Ahui Department entered the Shaolang River and attacked the Yaoyuan Department, which was also to contain the Turks with partial divisions, and the purpose of their attack was to buy us precious time to kill the Khitan. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Yanjian looked at the generals in the tent and asked loudly, "Everyone, am I wrong?" In this northern expedition, the general manager personally led the Ma army to attack the Khitan tribes, which is enough to prove that our Ma army is the absolute main force of the Northern Expedition, and the place pointed by the Ma army's soldiers is the main direction of the Northern Expedition. Since the main direction of the Northern Expedition is on the East Road, of course, the momentum is like a bamboo, and it is a thousand miles in one blow, how can it look forward and backward, be indecisive, and miss the fighter? ”

The generals responded one after another, and the voices of doubt were even louder.

Hu Luba sneered, his eyes showed disdain, and he let the generals question it, but his patience was limited, and after a while, he couldn't help it, slapped it on the case, and roared, "Self-righteousness, arrogance, if you people are allowed to fight in the Northern Expedition, the whole army will be wiped out." ”

This stabbed the "hornet's nest", and attacked it in groups, but it was a matter of confidentiality, Hu Luba did not have Li Fengyun's permission, and he did not dare to reveal it easily, but his eyes widened, his halberd was opened, and his roar was like thunder.

At this moment, Li Fengyun walked into the handsome tent. When the generals saw Li Fengyun, they immediately stopped fighting, and they didn't dare to continue to "besiege" Hu Luba in front of him.

Hu Luba immediately recounted the generals' doubts and his own explanations one by one.

After Li Fengyun listened, he smiled slightly, "I know you are puzzled, so I summoned you here." The Northern Expedition is in full swing, and we have successfully taken Lok Ma City and Changhan City, and completed the expected goal, but then the battle will be fierce, and we will fight a big war, a vicious war, so there are some secrets to tell you, so as not to be able to faithfully carry out the order due to doubts or misunderstandings. ”

"Maybe in your opinion, with the advantage of the horse army, we can be like a bamboo, thousands of miles to chase and kill, but in fact we don't have this condition at all, not only because of the bad weather, the supply of grain, grass and weapons, but also because time is not allowed, the Turks and Donghu races on both sides of the weak Luoshui will not let us run rampant, once we join forces to counterattack, the battle situation will be passive."

"Therefore, if the Northern Expedition wants to achieve the expected goal and sweep both sides of the weak Luoshui in the shortest possible time, it must make use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. Our countermeasure was to set a trap within two or three hundred miles of the Chifeng main camp, and then lure the enemy into the trap and encircle and annihilate him. The battlefield is placed within a range of two or three hundred miles, which is convenient for the transportation of grain and grass, and for the mobilization of infantry regiments, which can give full play to our strengths, but the difficulty is that it is easy to dig a trap, but it is difficult to lure the enemy into a trap. ”

The generals listened attentively, and many people had already understood.

"Who is our biggest enemy on the battlefield in the northeast?" Li Fengyun looked at the generals and asked himself, "It is the Turks, and the Turks are our biggest enemies, the enemies that must be killed, and the Donghu tribes, the Xi people, the Khitan and the Xia people, are all the objects we strive for." ”

Li Fengyun pointed to his feet, "This is the Northeast, it is the home of the Donghu Races, we want to occupy the Northeast, the best way is not to kill them, but to conquer them, turn enemies into friends, and raze them, only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort." Now the Xi people are already our allies, and the Khitan will also become our allies, so the main direction of our northern expedition is not on the east road, but on the north road, on the battlefield of the Shaolang River, it is the Turks who want to besiege and kill. ”

The generals suddenly realized. Their speculation was completely wrong, the only goal of this northern expedition was the Turks, and the eastern attack to fight the Khitan, it seemed that the persimmon picked up the soft pinch, in fact, in order to startle the snake and lead the snake out of the hole, it was to lure the Turkic army of the Song Desert Tooth Banner far away on the north bank of the weak Luoshui to go south, as long as they went south to rescue the remote army, they would inevitably fall into the trap of the alliance army, and then surround and kill it.

"The battlefield on the eastern road, the farthest is Changhan City, continue to advance eastward, the battle line is too long, not only are we powerless, but also not conducive to cooperating with the battlefield on the northern road." Li Fengyun continued, "Of course, the accident of the Fubu was beyond my expectations, Dahe Luluo and Kulundawi had quite a lot of means, and Yang Mou used it well, and in the face of Changhan City, which was at my fingertips, I couldn't refuse the temptation, and I was willing to fall into the trap, as for who killed the deer, it depends on the battlefield on the northern road to see if we can defeat the Turks." ”

Speaking of this, Li Fengyun looked at the generals and said with a smile, "This time the general will be calculated, which is more conducive to our tacit understanding and cooperation with the North Road battlefield, and cooperate with the mission, from this moment on, please be sure to keep the confidentiality and not have any leakage." ”

Before the words fell, Erzhu Tianxiao suddenly broke in, covered in snowflakes, and there were blood stains on his battle robe, "Wolf Shuai, urgent military situation!" ”
