The Battle of Muma River in Xinzhou was a key battle that laid the foundation for the immortality of the Tang Dynasty after history was changed.

The strategic significance of this battle is that the Tang army has planted a firm nail in Xinzhou, threatening the retreat of the Khitans at any time.

Another day later, Dong Wenqi led 20,000 Zhenzhou troops to go out of the valley and stationed in Lao County, north of Xinzhou.

On the morning of the third day, Yelu Chacha led 10,000 Khitan troops and 5,000 Taiyuan troops to the south of Xinzhou again, and formed a confrontation situation with 30,000 troops from the north.

Liu Zaiming, the commander of the camp in the north, saw that the Khitan people were powerful, so he took 3,000 silver saddle Khitan straight and 8,000 Yizhou soldiers and turtles to retreat into Xinzhou City, except for scolding Yelu Chacut's ancestors for 18 generations at the head of the city every day, but he did not dare to go out of the city to fight again.

However, Yelu Cha cut ignored Liu Zaiming at all, and the art master was bold, leading the Khitan army around Xinzhou City, and suddenly the troops went out of the west side of Gyro Mountain, and a charge in the south of Lao County repelled Dong Wenqi's 20,000 Zhenzhou army.

Dong Wenqi was timid, and there was no comparison with a soldier like Liu Zaiming, and after losing a thousand people, he was as anxious as a lost dog, so that the entire Zhenzhou army retreated fifty miles, camped with Yangmingbao in the south of Daizhou, and surrendered Laoxian to the Khitans.

Lao County is actually the exit of Yangwu Valley, the Khitan army repelled the Tang army, ensuring that the back road is unobstructed, and the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang is a little at ease.

Three days later, Zhao Dejun's 30,000 Youzhou army, which was slower than the small-footed old woman, bypassed the Flying Fox Road, and finally appeared on the back of Daizhou, and after the army went south to bypass Daizhou City, it camped next to Yangmingbao with 20,000 Zhenzhou troops.

This suddenly made the Khitan army stationed in Laoxian nervous.

On the one hand, the Tang army's army has reached 50,000 people, not counting the more than 10,000 Liu Zaiming's Yizhou army in Xinzhou, and the 3,000 Xinzhou soldiers that Xinzhou already has!

On the other hand, the 30,000 Youzhou soldiers under Zhao Dejun are the old opponents of the Khitans!

Everyone knows that if these 30,000 Youzhou soldiers really fight with the Khitans, Yelu Cha will not be so easy to deal with, and they will have to guard against Liu Zaiming's 10,000 Yizhou soldiers!

Liu Zaiming, a little Taoist priest with a military hat, is hiding in a dark corner of Xinzhou City, and may come over and stab him in the back at any time.

I'm not afraid of being stupid or brave in a war, I'm afraid of soldiers like Zhao Dejun and Liu Zaiming!

Nima can't beat and run, slippery like a loach, looking cheap to pick up, but the action is faster than a dog!

You set up a position and he's suddenly gone! When you think he is pretending to be just a man pretending to be forced, he suddenly breaks the kettle and fights with you!

Therefore, let's not talk about character or anything, the Youzhou Army and the Yizhou Army are monitored separately in the Khitan Army, and they must not be treated on the same footing with other Tang Army, of course, there is now an inexplicable Zhenwu Army, which also makes the Khitan people have a headache.

You see, this Zhao Dejun's 30,000 Youzhou soldiers rushed to Yangming Fort angrily, and the Zhenzhou soldiers set up a decisive battle with the Zhenzhou soldiers, everyone thought that he was going to unite with the Zhenzhou soldiers to rush over, beat the Khitan people out of Lao County, and rushed back to Taiyuan, who knew that this Zhao Dejun invited Dong Wenqi, both threw down the team, and ran into Daizhou City to drink!

said that he didn't drink enough in Zhenzhou, and then came!

Don't you want to run! Punish yourself three cups today!

Daizhou assassin Zhang Lang can't help it, who let his original boss Zhang Jingda die?

Now that the two main national-level forces of the Chengde Army and the Lu Long Army have come to your house to drink, don't you bother to entertain them?

Zhang Lang, whose position was far lower than the two of them, had to become a shopkeeper, and the whole city searched for good wine and food, the whole city searched for beautiful girls, and the whole city searched for the best Persian dancers.

In other words, there is a stalemate in the north, but it is lively in the south.

He Daxian hid in the study every day, accompanied by two little girls who pretended to write, and counted it, hey, why haven't you fought yet? Why are you hiding and not moving? The most annoying thing is why did Zhao Dejun hide and drink?

This will not work, if the north does not move, the south will have to move.

So three more false secret decrees were released.

One copy is for Fan Yanguang of Liaozhou, your Weizhou soldiers have stayed in Liaozhou long enough, and they have fished enough, hurry out of the mountains and go to Tuanbai Valley.

One for Zhao Yanshou, who was digging a pit in Tuanbai Valley, why are you still staying in Tuanbai Valley to bask in the sun? Hurry up a hundred miles and sit in a row with Gao Xingzhou's Jin'an Dazhai.

The third secret letter was sent to Gao Xingzhou two days later, and it only had six words on it: "Tomorrow is the time for a decisive battle!" ”

Two days later, Zhao Yanshou led 20,000 loyal troops to the right side of Gaoxingzhou's Jin'an Dazhai, and Fan Yanguang's 20,000 Weizhou soldiers took over the camp left by Zhao Yanshou in Tuanbai Valley.

In the south of Taiyuan, the three armies of the Tang Army, with a total of 90,000 troops, formed a decisive battle formation against the Jin army and the Khitan coalition army in an inverted triangle formation.

The decisive battle was scheduled for the next day, and everyone was making final preparations that day.

On this day, the clouds were thick, the wind was gusting, and in the afternoon, the heavy rain sprayed down, and the land of Jinzhong, which had been dry for two months, finally ushered in the first rain of early autumn, and it was a torrential rain!

At the same time, Zhenwu summoned the first official sent by Zhao Ping to lobby the imperial court, Sima Zhang Cheng, the right marching army of Zhenwu's army, arrived in Luoyang, and arrived at the house of Master Li Zhuanmei, a privy counselor, and presented some precious items from Master Hu of Hujiazhai to pay tribute, hoping that Lord Li would deliver a message to the emperor in the early dynasty!

Li Zhuanmei's impression of Zhao Ping is quite good, and she also thinks that Zhao Ping's idea is quite good, and she is willing to help with this.

The next morning, Li Zhuanmei and Master Li stood in the middle of several bigwigs in the front row of the court as usual, and listened to other ministers reporting on the disaster situation and various financial revenues and expenditures in various places.

Emperor Li Congke's political IQ is infinitely close to zero, and he is naturally not interested in these nonsense things, but because of the concept of "sitting on the dragon chair to work", he has to patiently listen to the ministers from all walks of life constantly talking nonsense, squinting his eyes and falling asleep.

"Your Majesty, about the flooding of Huaishui in Caizhou, Zhan Shisi Chugong, who is inspecting Caizhou, wrote a chapter"

Li Congke's arms didn't hold up in his sleep, his head slid a little, and he woke up.

"Well, okay, I'll go out first, and Zhong Aiqing will rest for a while."

Emperor Li Congke has not had a good stomach these days, and when he heard the southern official who couldn't pronounce Luoyang dialect accurately, say "Chu Gong", he thought that the eunuch reminded him that it was time to go out of Gong.

With a wave of his hand, he stepped off the dragon chair and turned behind the curtain, leaving a stunned group of officials behind.

As soon as the emperor left, the neat court hall where everyone was standing in rows suddenly became chaotic, and the ministers rushed to and fro, each looking for someone they knew and chatting in a low voice, buzzing and noisy, just like a vegetable market.

Li Zhuanmei had a look of disgust on her face, ran to the side door alone to get air, and happened to see a eunuch rushing towards with a document, hurriedly stopped it, took the document in her hand, and drove the eunuch away.

Li Zhuanmei is a privy councilor, and she originally translated the manuscript for the emperor, so she naturally has the right to read the documents before the emperor.

The emperor soaked for a long time before he came out listlessly and sat on the dragon chair again.

"Just now, who is that, what's the matter in Caizhou?"

At this time, Li Zhuanmei hurriedly raised the document in her hand with both hands, and shouted on the ground:

"Your Majesty, Weichen has reported in advance, Xinzhou is a great victory!"

Li Congke's political knowledge is zero, but the war IQ is full score, of course he knows where Xinzhou is, and with a slight turn in his mind, he knows that this Xinzhou victory is very crucial!

Immediately took the battle report written by Liu Zaiming: On the bank of the Muma River, the Khitan chieftain was killed and the Yizhou army lost 2,000 yuan!

Well, this Liu Zaiming is good, when did he go to Xinzhou? And killed three thousand Khitan cavalry?

Li Congke is not a fool, of course he knows that his generals automatically multiply the number of enemies killed by five, but killing 3,000 enemies is also a big victory. Liu Zaiming is good at fighting terrain warfare and relying on rivers to block the Khitans, that's true!

Li Congke's war wisdom was higher than that of ordinary people, and he instantly judged the authenticity and importance of the victory at Mumahe, and then ignored the Manchu ministers, and immediately asked the eunuch to bring the map over, and after careful observation, he began to ask the location of other troops.

Well, yes, Zhao Yanshou is in place, Fan Yanguang is also in place, even Dong Wenqi has appeared in Xinzhou, and the slowest Zhao Dejun is "sick"? Coming out of the Flying Fox Road soon? No, communication is slow, and it should be in Daizhou by this time!

Great, the encirclement is complete! The Khitans are resting!

Nima, when did these bigwigs in the army become so obedient? They still have a little conscience!

Seeing that the emperor Li Congke's eyes narrowed with joy, Li Zhuanmei hurriedly took advantage of this excellent opportunity to throw out Zhao Ping's proposal:

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a proposal, I don't know whether to mention it or not."

"Li Aiqing, please speak." Li Congke's smile still hung on his face.

"The key to the crusade against the stone thieves is that the Khitan army withdraws from the Central Plains, and now the Khitan army is surrounded by our army, and it is in danger, the minister proposes to restart the proposal to return Li Zanhua to the Khitan country, which will definitely make the Khitan army withdraw immediately!"

Who is Lee Zan-hau?

Li Zanhua is the Han name of Yelu Bei, Yelu Bei is the elder brother of the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, the eldest son of Taizu Abaoji, who was robbed of the throne by Yelu Deguang, and was killed by Zhao Ping and killed his son Yelu Ruan, and is now hiding in Luoyang for refuge.
