In the northeast, the lower reaches of the weak Luoshui, Chelianchuan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xue Shixiong, the general of the left imperial guard, led more than 20,000 Liaodong garrisons to kill from the direction of Fuyu into the northeast, burned and plundered all the way, and the blockers were invincible, and the Khitans were all broken, and fled when they heard the wind, but because they did not understand the situation in the northeast, they could not get useful information from the mouths of the captured Khitans, and Xue Shixiong and his subordinates had rich experience in fighting outside the Saiwai, and they were not optimistic about the weak Luoshui in the northern expedition of Anzhou. The soldiers seized the time to recover their strength, recuperate, and prepare for the attack, while a large number of scouts with the surname of captives went deep into the hinterland of the northeast to inquire about the news on both sides of the water and formulate correct goals for the next step.

The Liaodong garrison did not move, and the Khitans who were rushing to the wolves gained precious respite, and the Khitan tribes on both sides of the weak Luoshui gathered from all directions.

Xue Shixiong was overjoyed when he saw the Khitans flocking to him, and what he was most worried about was that the Khitans kept their senses, avoided fighting, and fought guerrilla on all sides, and the happiest thing was to see the Khitan tribes gather together in anger and fight to the death with their own side, so that they could maximize their advantages, attack the enemy's shortcomings with their own strengths, and complete their efforts in one battle.

Just as Xue Shixiong and his soldiers were gearing up and preparing to launch the strongest attack, the Khitans suddenly shot a message and sent a message, and the chief of the Diera tribe, Yelu Tieli, asked to meet the commander of the Middle-earth army, and had a major message to tell, and in order to win the trust of the other party, Yelu Tieli deliberately revealed a major secret that could definitely tempt the other party, that is, the white wolf Li Fengyun, Bu Li set Ashina Duer and the leader of the Khitan Eight Alliance, Dahe Luluo, were discussing an alliance plan in Changhan City on the bank of the Hongshui River.

Xue Shixiong's first reaction was not to believe it and scoffed. This thing is too absurd to happen, and Yelu Tieli's trickery is too clumsy, and he actually made this move in order to delay time, which also proves that the Khitans are afraid and afraid, and they are in chaos, and it is the best time to attack.

However, Xue Shixiong has been in the east for two years, and he has a certain understanding of the Khitan tribes, knowing that Diera) is one of the core forces of the Khitan Eight Tribes Alliance, and its leader Yelu Tieli is also a leader among the Khitan Eight Chieftains, brave and good at fighting, such a person, such a critical moment, gathering all the departments to control the strings in Chelianchuan, putting on a decisive battle with the Middle-earth army, which is very abnormal in itself, after all, the strength of the various outside the Saiwai is limited, and they have deep grievances with each other. There is no way to gather together in a head-on battle with the Middle-earth army. If something goes wrong, it is a demon, Xue Shixiong judged from this that there must have been something wrong in the Northeast Battlefield and within the Khitan Eight Alliance, otherwise there would be no way to explain the scene in front of him.

Xue Shixiong immediately told his subordinates about the content of Yelu Tieli's shooting book, and expressed his doubts.

Wu Benlang said unceremoniously and bluntly, "Ming Gong is too worried, Donghu is cunning and untrustworthy, and Yelu Tieli's words are even more ridiculous and sinister. In a certain opinion, Ming Gong didn't need to pay attention, and with an order, the three armies came out together, killing him without leaving a piece of armor, and all the conspiracies and tricks were wiped out. ”

Wu Benlang General Wang Wei is Xue Shixiong's old subordinate, acting steadily, when he conquered the Western Regions through the Western Territory, the two of them were the main and deputy commanders of the Hexi garrison, they had fought side by side, bloody and bloody, and they were like brothers, so at this moment he naturally stood on Xue Shixiong's side and supported Xue Shixiong's views, "Ming Gong's doubts are quite reasonable. Our primary goal on this trip is the northeast, for which we must not only attack the Donghu tribes, attack the Turks of the Songmoya Banner and the Xia tribes on the north bank of the weak Luoshui, but if necessary, even deal a fatal blow to the rebels who are fighting outside the fortress, if successful, we will have the merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, so we must act cautiously, especially under the existing bad conditions, we must first ensure our own safety, and then we can choose the opportunity to attack, so that it is possible to achieve the greatest results. ”

Luo Yi snorted coldly, his eyes showing disdain, but he didn't refute.

He is also a fierce general on the border of Jiuzhen, of course he knows the difficulty of the expedition to the northeast, and knows the heavy pressure that Xue Shixiong is under. As far as the current domestic situation and the political situation in Liangjing are concerned, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee must carry out the Eastern Expedition to the end, and where it falls, it must get up in order to reverse the political decline, so that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee not only need the chaos of the situation in Anzhou and the Northeast, but also need the Liaodong Zhenjun Army to do a good job in the third expedition, so Xue Shixiong only promised to win and not defeat in this trip, and of course it was difficult to win, which forced Xue Shixiong to retreat to the second, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault.

For Xue Shixiong, as long as this trip does not defeat the battle, as long as there are no casualties, even if he returns in vain, it will not affect the Third Eastern Crusade, on the contrary, once it affects or even destroys the Third Eastern Crusade, Xue Shixiong will die without atonement for his crimes, and even his head will not be saved. In this unfavorable situation, it is impossible to expect Xue Shixiong to be arrogant and indomitable, so after Wang Wei publicly supported Xue Shixiong, Luo Yi immediately closed his mouth wisely, although he has a strong personality and is domineering, but he is not a stunned young man who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, and he has to endure it when he should endure it.

Xue Shixiong stroked his long hair with his hand, bowed his head slightly, and then looked at Wu Benlang's general Pei Renji, his eyes showing an inquiring look.

Pei Renji is from the Pei family in Hedong, and Xue Shixiong is from the Xue family in Hedong, both of whom are wealthy families in Hedong, with vital interests.

The three wealthy families in Hedong, the Liu family, the Pei family and the Xue family, among which the Liu family is the most noble, and there are many relatives of the emperor, and the Pei family has the longest inheritance, the most outstanding people, the most powerful, and the most extensive influence, the Xue family is at the end, the dignity is not as good as the Liu family, and the inheritance is not as good as the Pei family, but it has developed rapidly, and it is a leader among the emerging nobles who have risen in the past two or three hundred years. Because of this, the Xue family is inferior to the Liu family and the Pei family in the aristocratic hierarchy, and in general, the children of the Xue family respect the Liu family and the Pei family in order to maintain the unity within the Hedong aristocratic group.

Pei Renji hesitated for a moment, and said, "Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, since the Khitans took the initiative to send them to the door, of course we want to see them, if we can find out the details of the other party and find out the situation in the northeast, it will definitely be conducive to our next attack." ”

"Good!" Xue Shixiong no longer hesitated, decisively shot the book Yelu Tieli, and met before the battle.

When the two sides met, Yelu Tieli was respectful, his posture was very low, and his words and conversations were quite good, but he won Xue Shixiong's favor and had a good first impression of him.

"You said that the White Wolf, Ashina and Daga Oro are forming a bloody alliance on the banks of the Red Water River." Xue Shixiong got straight to the point and went straight to the point, "How do you make a certain believe?" ”

Yelu Tieli bowed and said solemnly, "General, the war in the Northeast is over. ”

Xue Shixiong smiled, with a look of disdain, and his good impression of him was greatly reduced, "How did it end?" And when did it end? Can you tell us more? ”

Yelu Tieli immediately began with Li Fengyun's surprise attack on Luoma City in Songshan, and described in detail that the defection of the Yaolai Department, the destruction of the Yaoyuan Department, the Battle of Wudan City and the betrayal of Ashina Duer, the most critical of the Northeast War, Yelu Tieli did not have personal experience, they all heard from other people's mouths, and many truths have been covered up in rumors, but this has nothing to do with the overall situation, the victory of the Northern Expedition in Anzhou and the end of the Northeast War are indisputable facts, Yelu Tieli did not deceive and told him frankly.

Xue Shixiong went from not believing to doubting, from doubting to doubting, and finally he believed, because Yelu Tieli finally said a word, Han Shige and Dahe Duluo are leading the army to the east, and they are hurrying to Chelianchuan on the way, and after a few days, Han Shige and Dahe Duluo will arrive, and everything will be revealed.

Yelu Tieli was worried that Xue Shixiong would not believe it, and was afraid that Xue Shixiong would misunderstand him as a delaying plan, so he commanded the Liaodong border army to launch an attack regardless of the brazen attack, so in order to express his sincerity, he specially took out 5,000 livestock and some horse feed to Xue Shixiong, only asking Xue Shixiong to wait patiently for a few days and wait for Han Shige's arrival.

After Xue Shixiong returned, he told the truth what Yelu Tieli had said to Luo Yi, Wang Wei and Pei Renji, the three generals of Wu Benlang. The three of them were surprised, but also skeptical, if this is the truth, the luck of the white-haired thief Li Fengyun and the rebellious Li Zixiong is too good, who would have expected that they not only won Anzhou with lightning speed after they came out of the fortress, but also swept the northeast in just over a month, although the end of the war in the northeast was because Bu Li set Ashina Tar to rebel, betrayed the desert, urgently needed allies, and needed the support of Middle Earth, but this is the luck of Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong, and they can't accept it.

It's just that this change in the situation in the northeast is very unfavorable to the expedition of the Liaodong garrison to the northeast, they have just set foot in the northeast, and the opponents are actually hugging together, and the rebels led by Er Li are out of the country, the Turkic army led by Ashina Duer, and the Xi and Khitan groups headed by A Huizheng and Dahe Duluo have joined hands to form an alliance, which is very different from the original expectation. At the beginning, I thought that Anzhou was marching north, the northeast was in turmoil, and all forces were there? Fierce fighting, they just went in to break each one, and the fisherman profited, but unexpectedly the facts and imagination were too hanging, and the Liaodong garrison suddenly fell into passivity, and was in a dilemma.

"If Yelu Tieli deliberately deceived us in order to buy time for their reinforcements to arrive at Chelianchuan, we would have been fooled." Luo Yi questioned, "Take a step back and say, if what Yelu Tieli said is true, we should attack even more, before the arrival of Han Shige and Dahe Duluo, give Yelu Tieli a heavy blow, wanton killing, wanton plunder, and then return with a full load, otherwise, Han Shige is here, proving that the overall situation in the Northeast has been decided, and we will go home, won't we go back empty-handed?" Won't this expedition lead to nothing? Don't the soldiers complain? ”

Xue Shixiong shook his hand, "Absolutely not." The Holy Lord established the Anton Governor's Mansion with a very clear purpose, that is, to take Anzhou and the Northeast, to win the martial arts of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and at the same time to seize the opportunity in the overall situation of the confrontation between the north and the south, but how can the Turks in the desert watch my Middle Earth occupy Anzhou and the Northeast? I will fight back with all my might. In such a situation, if our Middle Earth can appease Anzhou and Northeast China as quickly as possible, quickly incorporate Anzhou and Northeast China into the territory of Middle Earth, and firmly control the initiative in the confrontation between the north and the south, the result will be very favorable to our Middle Earth. ”

Wang Wei and Pei Renji resolutely supported Xue Shixiong and opposed attacking the Khitans before Han Shige's arrival and before the truth was clarified, after all, the interests of Middle-earth were paramount, and the interests of individuals and small groups should be subordinated to the interests of Middle-earth at critical moments.

On December 15, Han Shige and Dahe Duluo led their troops to Chelianchuan.

That night, Han Shige paid a visit to Xue Shixiong, and the two sides talked happily and the atmosphere was harmonious.
