Seven years of Tiance, spring.

This is a day when there should be no soldiers. The successive wars in the Central Plains have exhausted the national strength of the entire country, not to mention that last year's Guanzhong War has just stopped, and spring is the season when everything begins to grow after a cold winter.

But Shi Jingjiao still held a big army! Because he has a righteous name: take back Yanyun!

Yan Yun originally "lent the Khitan to collect taxes" (Shi Jingjiao's statement), but now he wants to take it back, and it is incumbent on him to take back the land!

At this time, Yan Yun fell into the hands of the Khitan for a short time, and the people of Yan Zhao looked forward to the regain of the land every day, so as soon as Shi Jingjiao proposed this proposal in the court, the generals spoke in unison and suppressed the voice of Wenchen.

If you don't have money, then raise it, and if you don't have food, then force it!

What is more important than the recovery of the land and the integrity of the golden ou? Even if the people have suffered for a period of time, they must also take back Yanyun, otherwise when the Khitan changes their minds, they will attack the higher Yan and Yun Prefectures from the Hebei Plain and the Fenhe River Valley, but they don't know how many people will die, how much blood will be shed, and how much price will be paid!

Therefore, Shi Jingjiao's order was quickly implemented, and even Feng Dao couldn't persuade him.

The army came out in three ways:

The first road, out of Hebei, is the east road, stationed in Youzhou, commanded by the guards and the pro-army Du Chongwei, Du Chongwei is not only a general in the army, but also Shi Jingjiao's brother-in-law, the so-called both close and expensive.

The second road, out of the east of the river, is the west road, ready to enter Yunzhou, led by Shi Chonggui, who is the nephew of Shi Jingjiao. His father died early, Shi Jingjiao adopted him as an adopted son, Hedong is Shi Jingjiao's home, Taiyuan is the core of the entire Hedong, Shi Jingjiao will hand over Taiyuan to him after Luoyang, trust Cheng Dù does not ask.

Third way. Still out of Hebei, but the march route is located between the two roads, for the middle road, the established destination is Ulzhou between Yan and Yun, as the east and west two roads - the number of men and horses on this road is less than 10,000, but it is all cavalry, the core force is especially famous, it is a cavalry unit of 3,000 white horses and silver spears, especially the main force of 1,000 cavalry. It is a white horse, the coach Gao Xingzhou, his father is Gao Siji, who is known as the "first gun of the five dynasties and ten countries" in the romance of later generations.

It's a pity that last year's Khan and Blood Cavalry Regiment was too prominent, it was the power of breaking through the Khitan and almost capturing the Hu lord Yelu Deguang! Especially after the scholars of the Central Plains gradually recognized that Tiance was also China, they suppressed Gao Xingzhou to death in terms of momentum. Because it is known as the sweat and blood cavalry regiment, the storyteller is smooth. Gao Xingzhou's department was called the "White Horse Silver Spear Regiment", and it was gradually accepted by most people. Even the generals within the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment accepted the name.

This name also sounds majestic, but there is a sweat and blood cavalry regiment in front, and the title of this white horse and silver spear regiment has a bit of a cottage feeling with a tail, so Gao Xingzhou didn't say anything on his face, but he was very dissatisfied with this title in his heart.

Three-way people. The east and middle roads are eaten in Hebei, Hebei is far away from Guanzhong, and was less affected in last year's Guanzhong War, but it can barely support the two road armies, and the west road is the main force of the Taiyuan army. From Taiyuan to Yunzhou, the distance is not far, if there is no protracted battle, the consumption of grain is still within a bearable Cheng dù - this logistical supply plan is the result of Feng Dao's hard work, even so, it is still necessary to transfer grain from Shandong into Hebei, from Henan to Hedong, and from Huaisi to Henan, in order to make up for the food shortage caused by the action of the army.

This move, as the so-called pulling one and moving the whole body, caused chaos in various parts of the Central Plains, and the people have not yet recovered from the trauma of last year's war, and have once again fallen into a new round of suffering.

——————————

The three-way army, divided into the north, to Yanyun, will be guarded by Du Chongwei Youzhou, by Shi Chonggui to guard Yunzhou, if the battle is born, then Shi Chonggui will be subject to Du Chongwei's control.

When Du Chongwei came out of Luoyang, Shi Jingjiao shook his hand and told him that it was necessary to restore the territory as the most important thing, and that the Khitan had to meet any requirements as much as possible.

——————————

When Du Chongwei came out, Cao Yuanzhong and Yelu Wuzhi also came out of Qinxi. Zhang Mai also held Cao Yuanzhong's hand, but said: "This is going to the Khitan, and I will act with a qiē camera." ”

At this time, Cao Yuanzhong still didn't understand the profound meaning of this sentence, and asked: "If the intention of the Liao Lord is different from our conditions, what kind of proposition can Yuanzhong make?" "He's asking about his permissions.

Zhang Mai said: "Our long-term goal is to unify the country, but we have to eat one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step. At present, Ganlong is recuperating and cannot start a big war. As long as we can maintain our current strategic advantage, a period of stability will be more powerful for us, and when we are fully accumulated, we will then burst into flames. ”

Cao Yuanzhong nodded, but there was still a doubt in his eyes - he wanted to know his specific authority.

Zhang Mai groaned and said: "If Yang Yi and Xue Fu have the opportunity to meet, and you have the opportunity to meet Yang Yi, Yang Yi, Xue Fu and the three of you will discuss the general strategy of attacking and defending the north, as long as it is in line with our long-term goals, the advance and retreat of thousands of miles of land will be decided by the three of you!" ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "What about before that? ”

Zhang Mai smiled: "Outside the area that our army has now occupied, you can buy and sell as you like." ”

Cao Yuanzhong is overjoyed, the authority granted by this sentence is great! Zhang Mai didn't ask him to take Yanyun, which gave him a lot of room to move. Of course, Cao Yuanzhong's ambition is not small, in his opinion, Yan Yun is won by words, although this great credit is not as good as Yang Yi, I am afraid that it will be overwhelmed by Xue Fu.

——————————

Although Du Chongwei and Yelu Wu went out almost at the same time, the degree of the army's walking and the embassy's walking were naturally completely different.

Cao Yuanzhong knew that Luoyang was also fighting for Yanyun, and Yeluwu was also heartfelt, and the two were of the same heart at this point, anyway, Zhang Mai didn't ask for much secrecy on Yeluwu's actions, so they simply rode straight to the Yellow River, and then took a boat down the river, this time it was faster than when they came, and they arrived in Taobei in a few days. Then he transferred to a horse, and it didn't take long for him to fall to Heian City.

This time, Xue Fu didn't let Yelu Wuzhi enter the city, and the entire Ping'an City had already entered a state of semi-combat readiness, Yelu Wuzhi saw it in his eyes, but pretended not to pay attention.

Cao Yuanzhong entered the city and offered a reward on behalf of Zhang Mai. Xue Fu said: "Originally, there should have been a banquet to entertain Brother Cao, but I think Brother Cao is not here now, so it is better to wait for the day when it is done, and then we will drink to congratulate!" ”

Cao Yuanzhong smiled: "Okay! Looking at the relaxed atmosphere around him, which was very different from the tense situation from outside the city, he said, "General Xue's appearance is for Yelu to see?" ”

Xue Fu said with a smile: "I received a letter from the marshal a day in advance, knowing that Brother Cao is going to enter the Khitan to negotiate peace, negotiate peace. He was afraid that he would make peace, so he deliberately put on the appearance that he was going to fight, and then Brother Cao would have to ask the Khitans for a price. ”

Cao Yuanzhong saw that although Xue Fu was smiling, his eyebrows were still wrinkled, and after asking Xue Fuping to retreat from others, he said: "Brother Xue, this time the junior brother enters the Khitan, how do you want the younger brother to cooperate with your strategy?" ”

He wanted Xue Fu's military campaign to cooperate with his representations. It will definitely arouse Xue Fu's disgust, so to speak. It made Xue Fu happy, but Cao Yuanzhong still noticed that the lock between Xue Fu's eyebrows was not fully opened.

"Brother Cao, just do what the marshal tells you to do. I will try my best to meet Brother Cao's needs. ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Brother Xue, has something happened in the north during this time?" ”

Xue Fu was silent.

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Brother Xue, your war and my negotiation are the cooperation of one article and one martial arts. If you refuse to say it explicitly, how can you tell me to enter Liao? ”

Xue Fu hesitated again and again, and then lowered his voice and said, "Sweat and blood, something is wrong." ”

Cao Yuanzhong exclaimed: "What! ”

Xue Fu sighed and said, "Follow me." "Took Cao Yuanzhong and rode out of Ping'an City. Came to the hidden pasture under the Yin Mountain, this ranch is so big, as far as the eye can see, the green grass has sprouted, thousands of sweaty horses are free-range under the hillside, and many herdsmen are taking care of them separately - more than half of these herdsmen are the knights of the sweat and blood cavalry regiment, and the composition of the sweat and blood cavalry regiment is relatively special, basically they are not only warriors, but also the shepherds who are most familiar with the habits of sweat and blood horses.

And the sweaty BMW that they took care of, even Cao Yuanzhong could see that he was mentally exhausted and had no energy, and exclaimed: "Is it a horse epidemic?" ”

"It's not very clear yet." Xue Fu said: "It may be because of the unaccustomed water and soil, or it may be that the long-distance attack was too much last year, from last winter to the beginning of spring, the spirit of the sweaty BMW has not been as good as before, and the specific reason has not been completely investigated." According to what my Dawan animal doctor said, it's best not to move around this year, and after this catastrophe, you may be fine in the future. But if you reluctantly engage in a fierce battle, you are afraid that the war horses participating in the battle will fall ill in ten times! ”

Speaking of this, Xue Fu's eyebrows locked even more, and he sighed and said: "After the beginning of winter last year, the road from Ele River to Huangshui was blocked by ice and snow, and there was still a Khitan army in Yunzhou to threaten my flank, and I was unable to go north at that time, so I had already set the scheduled time for the battle this summer - I estimate that General Yang Yi will do the same." But now that this problem has arisen, I am afraid that the sweaty BMW will not be able to participate in the battle of encirclement and suppression of the Khitan on the banks of the Huangshui River. ”

Cao Yuanzhong knew at this time why Xue Fu was so unhappy that his eyebrows were unhappy, and asked, "Is the news covered up?" ”

Xue Fu said: "The sweaty BMW with the problem is close to about one-third, and the coverage is too large. Other sweaty BMWs, I don't know if they are sick or not. Although I tried to cover it up, I couldn't make sure that no clues leaked out. ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "If this is the case, then the negotiation strategy of my Yanyun trip will have to be reconsidered." ”

Xue Fu said: "I think it should be tougher." ”

"Tough?"

Xue Fu said: "The art of war is cloudy, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, if Brother Cao shows his cowardice in front of the Liao Lord, I am afraid that we will be peeped into our weak hearts." Although the sweaty and bloody horses could not fight, the other horse breeds were still enough to support the cavalry regiment, but they were not as fast as in the past, and their combat power was greatly reduced. I have more than enough to defend the emperor, and if Brother Cao wants to take Yanyun in a word, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”

Cao Yuanzhong laughed and said: "Brother Xue is also proficient in diplomacy, if you are not the general of my Tiance Datang and come to fight for this envoy, I, an idler, will have to give way to Xian." ”

Xue Fu laughed, but he smiled, but with a little reluctance, he was the prince of Dawan, and his blood was heavier than his life, and this kind of worry that flowed from the depths of his heart could not be disguised.

——————————

Cao Yuanzhong returned to Ping'an City for the second day. He didn't say anything to Yelu Wuqing, and after the two met, they each led their entourage, and Xue Fu sent someone to escort them into the territory of Yunzhou. At this time, Du Chongwei passed through Qinzhou.

After passing the old site of the Great Wall, Yelu Wu smiled and said, "Before that, I was a guest. When he arrived here, Brother Cao was a guest. I will definitely entertain him well and make Brother Cao feel at home. ”

Cao Yuanzhong's face turned pale, and he said unhappily: "This is originally China's homeland!" I was the master of this place! Brother Yelu, you are the guest! It's just that this place is temporarily stolen by you! ”

A few Khitan people next to him were displeased when they heard this, thinking that it would be okay for you to be arrogant and arrogant in Qinxi, and you dare to be so rude when you come to our bow!

In the past, the envoys from the Central Plains to the Khitan often trembled, because the Khitan was a shallow performance clan, and some occasions were not very reasonable. Although the matter of killing the envoy has never happened, it is difficult to guarantee, as for wanton bullying, it is a common thing, so as soon as Sang Weihan entered the Khitan, he was like a dog, and then he saw Cao Yuanzhong, who was a little crazy at will, he couldn't help but be very unaccustomed.

In fact, this is not necessarily because Cao Yuanzhong's courage is much stronger than Sang Weihan, mainly because the courage of the country behind the two is different.

Yelu didn't blame him, and laughed.

——————————

The team has not yet entered Yunzhou. Han Deshu had already led a group of civil officials with Han Kuangsi to greet him at the city gate - Han Deshu had returned a few days earlier than Yelu Wuqing, and he had a trip to Luoyang. has made a lot of contributions, has been washed of the suspicion when Qin Xi returned, and regained trust, at this time, although he did not hold a real position in the northern Jin region, but his status has been faintly above Han Kuangsi.

After Yelu Wu settled Cao Yuanzhong properly, he immediately convened a meeting attended by only Erhan and Xiao Shili. Xiao Shili is the mastermind of the military, Han Kuangsi is Han Wuzhi, and Yelu Wuzhi and Han Deshu are both envoys, but it is the two of them who have the most say in this meeting.

Yelu Wuzhi kept asking about the shape of the various parties after he left, and Xiao Zhili was not only informed of the military layout of the enemy and us. Didn't say a word.

Han Deshu said: "Shi Jin's three-way army has already entered, and the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment in the middle road is the fastest, but the West Route Army is in Taiyuan, so it came the earliest, and Shi Chonggui has now entered Yanmen Pass." He sent a messenger to tell us to hurry up and cede Izumo so that they could take over. ”

Yelu Wuzhi sneered: "The original agreement was that he dragged Tiance for us, and then we handed over Yan Yun, but now they sent military horses, but they didn't mention attacking Tiance, and said that they would take over Yan Yun, what kind of covenant is this!" ”

This sentence has a faint meaning of reproach, Han Deshu said: "According to my father's meaning, Yunzhou might as well give them first, once they take over Yunzhou, they will naturally have to bear the pressure from Tiance." During this time, intensive communication between him and Han Yanhui had resumed, and he was already able to better understand his father's strategic intentions.

Although Yeluwu is also a rare wise man in the Khitan tribe, the Khitan people are Khitans, and their temperament is like a jackal. Yelu Wuzhi was also affected by this psychology, and sneered: "Returning to the stone is expensive, they must send troops!" Do you really want to take back Yanyun without bloodshed? There is no such cheap thing in the world! ”

——————————

Han Deshu frowned slightly, but looking at Xiao Shili's deep approval of Yeluwu's decision, he decided not to fight anymore, and asked Yeluwuzhi what he had seen and heard about this trip, Yeluwuzhi didn't want to talk about it at the moment, but said: "Tiance's side, the tone is set very high. Heian Castle was already in combat readiness as I passed, and it seemed to be in full gear. ”

Xiao Zhili was taken aback and said, "Could it be that Xue Fuzhen wants to ignore the time and horsepower, and rush to attack Linhuang Mansion at this time when horses are not suitable for traveling?" From the Eilechuan River to the edge of the Huangshui, it was a thousand-mile run, and he was not afraid that his sweaty and bloody BMW worth thousands of gold would be crippled? ”

Yeluwu said: "There is a saying in the Han people's "Art of War", which is called 'the real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real'. Yang Yiqi attacked Mobei before, and he used this strategy. Today's Xue Fu, I guess he uses it the other way around. ”

"The other way around?" Xiao Shili asked.

Han Deshu said: "General Yelu is saying that Xue Fu actually doesn't want to fight, but he deliberately puts on a look of wanting to fight?" ”

"Yes," said Jeruya, "I will pass through the city of peace, and he must have known it beforehand, and since he knew that I would come." If he really wanted to fight, he would open up and be loose inside and strict outside, but when I passed by, he made a big show and looked like he was waiting for the whole army, which was clearly for me to see. In addition, the sweat and blood cavalry regiment may have hidden worries. ”

"Worried? What's the concern? ”

Jerod groaned. said: "During my westward journey, I got a piece of news, it seems that the sweat and blood BMW have changed the epidemic. ”

The three people in the room were surprised and delighted: "Epidemic? Seriously? ”

"It's hard to say." Yeluwu said: "But if the sweat and blood horse really suffers from the epidemic, then many of Xue Fu's unnatural measures will make sense. As for the real situation, we have to continue to test Cao Yuanzhong's bottom line to know. Don't mention the matter of sweat and blood, I think Zhang Mai's actions in Qinxi should be a big cheer. ”

"Cheer up!" Xiao Shili was slightly shocked and said, "Is that going to be attacked regardless of a qiē?" ”

"Nope." Yeluwu asked: "If there is a big plan, the plan will be more long-term, and it will be long-term. On the contrary, it will be more stable. So I estimate that from now on, there should be a period of time when our Liao, Jin, and Tang triangles will enter a relatively relaxed period. ”

"Then how are we going to treat that Cao Yuanzhong?" Han Deshu said.

Jeruwu asked, "Just treat it with courtesy." ”

"Then what if he wants Yan Yun?" Han Kuangsi said.

"Yan Yun, it's a piece of meat that we fished to lure Tang Jin to kill each other!" Yelu Wu said: "If it weren't for the fact that it is necessary to prevent the sweat and blood cavalry regiment from entering Linhuang Mansion at present, and Yunzhou is needed to deter Xue Fu's flank to the north, this land in the clouds, it would be okay to give it to Tiance!" ”

Han Deshu said: "If the Tang army is allowed to win Yunzhou." The Jin army has Youzhou, and at that time, Tiance and Shi Jin will inevitably fall into internal friction! We can get out of the way. Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

"Exactly." Yeluwu said: "In the end, it is best to be in this situation, but now Yunzhou can't give Tiance yet." Let's drag Cao Yuanzhong for a while. Speaking of this, Yelu Wuzhi sneered again: "This is just to see if Cao Yuanzhong is in a hurry, if he is in a hurry, then there is really a problem on Xue Fu's side." ”

Han Deshu said: "At present, we can do one thing first. ”

"What's the matter?"

Han Deshu said: "Yunzhou." You can not give it first, but Shuozhou, it doesn't hurt to hand it over. ”

Yeluwu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "Brilliant plan! Coup! You are worthy of being the son of Han Zangming! ”

——————————

The news of Cao Yuanzhong's entry into Yunzhou was not kept secret, and soon spread to Shuozhou and Yanmen Pass.

Shuozhou is now under the actual control of Zhede. The armies of the northern Jin Dynasty that were inclined to Han unification were gathered here. However, at this moment, Shuozhou's military spirit is unstable, this is not because of the Khitan's coercion, in fact, the Khitan has not coerced Shuozhou for a long time, and the instability of the military spirit comes from within Shuozhou.

The army in this place did not form a strict unity, although Zhe De Yan could influence the various troops, but he could not directly control and command, he entered the Jin alone, and naturally it was impossible to reorganize. And a large part of these armies were originally subordinate to the Central Plains regime, and when Zhede held high the banner of the Han family, they were attached to the national righteousness, but now the situation has taken a new turn - Shi Jingjiao actually announced that the Khitan would return the sixteen states of Yanyun, and sent a large army to receive it - in this case, where should Shuozhou go?

Although, now Zhang Mai's reputation is like the sun, and his reputation is far better than Shi Jingjiao's, but the political affairs, engaged in the judgment of facts, after all, the northern Jin region is under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains regime, and Shi Jingjiao inherited the national unity of the Later Tang Dynasty, no matter what banner Zhang Mai played, what moving words he said, this is the fact, Shi Jingjiao's most notorious reputation is betraying Yanyun, but now if he can take back Yanyun, even if he can't completely offset his notoriety, at least it will greatly reduce the disgust of the people in Yanyun area towards him.

As for the anti-Li Congke - who cares about the people in the Five Dynasties period?

In this case, it is almost logical for Shi Jingjiao to take back Shuozhou.

Even the army in Shuozhou already has plans to play the banner of the Great Jin.

He even knew who was going to do it.

But what can he do?

Rush up and kill someone?

Perhaps, with his ability, he can be overwhelmed for a while, but Shuozhou's military spirit will soon be greatly damaged, and even the army will be divided.

Under the watchful eye of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Liao, with Shuozhou's weak troops, self-protection is insufficient, and if there is internal chaos, it will be self-defeating!

However, if you want to let the shape shì continue to be like this, you are unwilling to fold the virtues!

It took a lot of effort to create such a momentum, so he wanted to give the reputation of "restoring his homeland" to Shi Jingjiao?

I'm not reconciled!

But just when he was worried about this, a piece of news came like a thunderbolt: Xiao Zhili openly opened the Yanmen Pass, and the Khitan decided to let Shuozhou first!
