The shape of the north of Jin is shì, three changes a day.

Due to the close relationship between this side and the Central Plains, the changes in northern Jin soon spread to Luoyang.

At the beginning, Shi Jingjiao started a war in the imperial court, and the reason he used was to recover Yanyun, but the army was divided into three routes, the west road did not go further in Yanmen Pass, the east road was stopped by the Khitan as soon as he drank, and the middle road entered Ulzhou, and it may even conflict with the Tiance Tang army.

These shapes can be seen from the outside, and there are also military sources who revealed to the rear - the army of the Shi Jin Dynasty, now the discipline is more and more corrupt, and as Shi Jingjiao's morale gradually loses, some people in the army are also intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to some powerful political factions in Luoyang, that is, the civilian officials in charge of logistics in various places, as well as the civilian officials in the army who manage logistics affairs, and they are inextricably linked with Luoyang. Therefore, with Feng Dao's status and influence, he can quickly collect news from all sides.

With Feng Dao's wisdom, combined with his understanding of Shi Jingjing, coupled with the information he had collected during this time, it was naturally easy to judge what Shi Jingjin wanted to do!

——————————

"Your Majesty, the army is heading north at this moment, will it fight with Tiance?"

Above the Luoyang Hall, Feng Dao's tone was respectful, but he asked directly.

He is the prime minister, in the period of the five dynasties, the dictatorship of the warriors - or warlords - reached the peak of history, Feng Dao's old life is all in Shi Jingjiao's thoughts, originally he did not dare to rebel against the master, but the rise of Tiance to fight the Tang Dynasty made Shi Jingjiao unable to do whatever he wanted internally, when he wanted to mobilize domestic manpower and material resources, he no longer dared to rashly use force to suppress people, and needed to encircle Feng Dao, who could recruit troops and food for him, indirectly raised Feng Dao's status.

Shi Jingjiao's face was a little unsightly: "Where did Feng Xiang hear the rumors?" ”

Feng Dao asked: "Your Majesty said that it was a rumor, and the minister was relieved." There is the phrase "陛xià". The so-called rumors of Lian Hu attacking the Han can be broken without attacking. ”

Shi Jingjiao's face darkened. Feng Dao's words are obviously a trap for Shi Jingjiao, if there is a Tang and Jin war in the north of the Jin Dynasty in the future, Shi Jingjiao will be convinced, only for a moment. Shi Jingjiao almost has the heart to kill the old thing in front of him!

You old fellow, you are my prime minister, but who is your heart helping?

This time, the Khitan took the sixteen states of Yanyun as a lure and invited him to send troops to attack Tiance, thinking that it was a delaying measure. But for Shi Jingjiao, he has no other choice. It was not right to win the kingdom in the first place, but now there are many things. You can't do it justifiably.

At present, the entire Great Northern Region is staging a realistic version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in which the three families are contending, the Tiance is strong, the Central Plains is rich, and the Khitan is temporarily at a dangerous disadvantage. If Tiance annexes the Khitan, it will be difficult for Shi Jin to survive alone.

There may be a relationship between him Shi Jingjiao and the Khitan, but between Shi Jingjiao and Zhang Mai. But on the side of the couch, how can others snore! The so-called either you die or I live, no matter what Zhang Mai says. Everyone in the world knows that in the end, only one person can survive.

So under the current situation, the Han people all over the world hate the Khitan, but Shi Jingjiao must keep the Khitan as a foreign aid, which affects the reputation, but Shi Jingjiao has to do it.

"Where can the things of the battlefield be clearly explained in the rear." Shi Jingjiao suppressed his anger. said lightly: "This time the Khitan is willing to return Yanyun, and everyone in the Central Plains has heard of it, but Tiance is greedy like a hungry tiger, if you take the opportunity to rob Yanyun, I will be a great Jin soldier." Naturally, he can't be tolerated! ”

When Feng Dao heard this, he knew that the news he got was not groundless, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, our army is going north, and it is best to exercise restraint against Tiance." Khitan is a hungry wolf, how can the meat in the mouth be spit out lightly, if things are abnormal, there will be monsters! We have to guard against the Khitan using Yanyun as bait to lure us to kill each other with Tiance! ”

In fact, the two people who talked to each other knew that the Khitan was preparing to do this, the difference was that Shi Jingjiao voluntarily took the bait, while Feng Dao tried his best to stop it.

Shi Jingjiao said: "Tiance is a Northwest Hu species, pretending to be a Tang person, demagoguery, and his Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone!" They are them, we are us, and even if there is a real fight, it is not a cannibalism. ”

"If Huaxia enters Yidi, it is Yidi, and when Yidi enters Huaxia, it is Huaxia, since Tiance and the opposition think that they are Tang people, what if they have Hu blood? If their hearts come down to words, and their words are Tangyan, then they are Chinese people, and if there is a war between Chinese people and Chinese people, it is cannibalism. At that time, it will only be for the Khitan fishermen to benefit. ”

Sang Weihan stepped forward and wanted to help defend himself, but Shi Jingjiao had already waved his hand and said: "The Khitan has also changed the name of the country to Liao, and Yelu Deguang has also changed the Han surname to Liu, he can also speak Chinese, according to what you say, isn't he also a Chinese?" ”

Feng Dao was stunned, thinking that the Khitan had just literally changed the name of the country, how could it be the same as the whole Tiance regime was really proud of the Han family, and when he wanted to say it, Shi Jingjiao didn't give him a chance, and waved his hand: "Besides, after recovering Yanyun, the Khitan will withdraw from the Han land, and the Central Plains will be fine." When the time comes, Zhang Mai and I will inevitably compete for the world! Qin lost his deer, the world chased it, and when he chased the deer, but to see who is strong and who is weak, who can still care about whether it is Han or not? Feng Xiang, what did you say to me at this time that you must not conflict with Tiance, who is your heart towards? Do you still know how to write the word loyalty? ”

There are some words, Shi Jingjiao didn't say all the words - I am now allied with the Khitan, even if the Khitan is Hu and Tiance is the Han, but even the weak resist the strong, this is where my Shi Jingjiao's interests lie, the reason why I don't directly say that Lian Liao resisted the Tang Dynasty, but to say that the recovery of Yanyun is just a fig leaf, Sang Weihan knows that this is a fig leaf, and he also helps to cover it, this is called a loyal minister, and you Feng Dao is now coming to stop us and the Khitan's good deeds, that is, to pull my fig leaf, who are you doing this for--This can't be said clearly above the court, If he said it, he and Feng Dao's monarchs and ministers would not be able to do it

But even these words have already made Feng Dao tremble and kneel, knowing that Shi Jingjiao has doubted his loyalty to himself, under the dynastic system, any national righteousness is fake, and loyalty to the monarch is the first, if he is a minister or disloyal, whether he is a famous minister or a capable minister, he can be killed.

——————————

April of the seventh year of Tiance.

This April, according to Zhang Mai's memory. It is the April of the "lunar calendar". The Lingnan region has begun to get hotter, and some areas in the Central Plains have occasionally ushered in some hot days. The weather has warmed up across the board.

This year, the water and grass in the Elechuan are very abundant, and the cattle and sheep are eating happily. Last winter, the Tiance army drove the tail of the Khitans and plundered enough cattle and sheep for 200,000 people to eat for a winter—how huge!

With such a huge herd of livestock, some of them remained in Qinxi and Ganlong, becoming a huge supplement to the meat diet of the Tiance regime this year, and nearly 30% of them were brought to Eilechuan. In addition, after Xue Fu arrived in Eilechuan, he ambushed the Lai Gui tribe and brought its herd into his rule. After the saddest winter last year, if this year can ensure that cattle and sheep continue to raise fat until autumn, the livestock production on this side of Eilechuan alone will be enough to support a large tribal alliance of 100,000 people.

Of course, the premise here is that cattle and sheep must be able to raise fat on the spot.

It is a very important time between now and autumn. If the herders can rest and recuperate, the river will be restored to life. Achieve prosperity on the grassland, but if war starts at this time, it will be overdrafted, and the cattle and horses that have not recovered from the severe cold of last winter will be doomed - in the cold winter, the cattle and sheep that cannot survive have been buried in the wind and snow, and the cattle, sheep and horses that have survived. is in a period of weakness after exhausting energy, and at this time it is the most unbearable toss. At this time, if you ignore the habits of the war horses and forcibly drive them into battle, it is likely that many horses will fall seriously ill after the fierce battle load, and they will die if they can't survive. If you survive it, you may be wasted!

This is the case in the Elechuan, and the situation in Linhuangfu is similar, but in terms of time, it will be about half a month later than that of Elechuan, and about half a month later than that of Huanglongcheng—the further north you go, the later summer comes, and the earlier winter comes.

Yang Yi, who broke through Mobei last year, gathered heavy troops on the banks of the Yuju River, and his intention to go south has been revealed. The passage between Yong'an Mountain and Lurayama, the gateway to the north of Linhuang Mansion, has been controlled by the Han people, and once the Eagle Yang Army goes south, there is no natural danger in the Huangshui River Basin to stop its horseshoe, and then the two sides must fight to the death head-on!

So when will Yang Yi go south?

"It should be half a month to a month later!"

This time judgment is the common conclusion of northern generals such as Yelu Shuogu, wise men such as Han Yanhui, and emperors such as Yelu Deguang!

At this time, it is the moment when the horsepower is destroyed to the extreme by the severe cold, and then after the spring will be raised, the horsepower is gradually recovering, and it is a lazy moment. If further on, some roads in the north have not yet thawed and are not ready to fight, but further back, the horsepower will return to a level where it can be tossed.

If this big battle is fought, no matter whether it wins or loses, it must be the result of both defeats or even defeats!

People may not die a lot, but the casualties of the horses may be ten times as many as the casualties of the soldiers!

The Mobei people, who take horses as their lives and cherish the horses rather than human lives, generally do not choose to start a war at this time.

"But the southerners won't consider this, and even I think Zhang Mai will take advantage of this" Han Yanhui had already said to Yelu Deguang in the early spring of this year: "This war, no matter whether it wins or loses, can greatly destroy the vitality of the desert grassland, if the northern group is empty, it will be difficult for the north to recover its vitality for thirty years!" At that time, Zhang Mai had enough time to carry out his layout in the north and south of the desert, so the battle of Linhuang Mansion must be at the beginning of summer! Zhang Longxiang not only wants to kill the people of Mobei, but also destroys the horses of Mobei! ”

This is a heart-wrenching argument!

If there is a head-on debate, Zhang Mai will never admit that he has such intentions, but Han Yanhui believes that Zhang Mai has - if Yang Yi's thinking can take into account the strategic layout of the whole world, then this Marshal Long Xiang, in addition to considering the strategic layout, often extends his thinking to the entire political and strategic layout.

Han Yanhui's judgment was not only recognized by Yelu Deguang and Shu Luping, but also by Xiao Shili and Yelu Wuqian.

"Xue Fu is going north this time, he must try to reinforce Yang Yi," Yelu Wu said: "And he wants to reinforce Yang Yi, and now it's almost time." ”

There is still no way to achieve smooth traffic between the Eilechuan River and the Yuju River, but just as Han Yanhui and others will predict the upcoming battle, Zhang Mai, Yang Yi and Xue Fu must also know this decisive battle, that is. Yang Yi and Xue Fu don't even need to agree on a date to deliver the news.

"Therefore, as long as we hold back the Sweat Cavalry Regiment so that they do not go north with all their might, then we have already succeeded strategically."

As for Yingzhou, Shuozhou and even Yunzhou, when the Khitan was facing the crisis of extinction, it was not important.

But. At least until now, Xue Fu hasn't moved!

When Yelu Wuzhi returned from Qinxi and passed by Ping'an City, Xue Fu had already been preparing for war with great fanfare, but from then to now, Ping'an City has always been thundering and raining, and there is no movement to go out on the expedition.

——————————

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Zhili said: "Could it be that Han Xiang and the others misjudged the southward movement of the Eagle Yang Army, or did Xue Fu actually not prepare to go north to support?" ”

"The judgment of the Eagle Yang Army's southward movement should be unmistakable. And. This is not the judgment of Han Xiang alone, but the judgment of His Majesty and all of you. Yeluwu asked: "As for Xue Fu's side......"

Yelu pondered for a moment before saying, "Maybe his strange behavior has something to do with that rumor." ”

"That rumor? You mean......"

"The sweaty horses are sick."

Jerod didn't want to say it, but he said it anyway.

He had been exposed to the news since Yelu Wuzhi first entered Ping'an City, and since then, there have been clues from various channels.

In the beginning. Xue Fu seemed to want to hide the news, and he took the sick sweaty horses to a relatively isolated pasture under the Yin Mountain to graze. But because the scope of the disease was so large — more than a third of all of them were in trouble, and a third could be a problem — the news was not completely blocked.

What's more, the relatively free business atmosphere between Ping'an City and Yunzhou in the past few months has made the information transmission between the two regions more diversified. Finally, recently, Xue Fu probably felt that it was no longer meaningful to block the news, and it seemed that he had not made any more efforts in this regard. And it was at this time that an animal doctor proposed one of his recommendations. It is believed that the condition of the sweaty horses has not improved after the beginning of spring, which is related to the previous pastoral conditions - Xue Fu drove the sick horses to the southern slope of Yinshan Mountain in order to keep it secret, which is a relatively narrow and aggrieved place for the horses. Thousands of sweaty and bloody BMWs gathered together seem too dense.

"Raising horses is not raising pigs, horses are happy, especially for sweaty horses, they need a more open place to run horses, let them sweat, let them wander, let them nibble on more tender and delicious grass blades, that will be very good for the recovery of their horsepower, our BMW are psychic, when the mood is not good, naturally wilt, if you can maintain their good mood, maybe then BMW's illness can be cured without medicine."

Xue Fu promised this mention, and pulled all the sweaty and bloody BMWs, which occupied two-thirds of the entire sweaty and bloody horses, to the most open and fertile pasture in the southwest of Ping'an City, and let them run freely.

It may be that this "prescription" really has some effect, or it may be related to the time, just a few days have passed, the mental state of the horses has improved slightly, but in this way, the news can not be hidden, many passing merchants, including even some spies, have seen the situation of this huge sweaty horse herd.

"Sweat and blood, it's really sick." "It's not the first time I've come across this news, when I first heard about it, I suspected it was a ploy, but now from all sources, it's true. ”

People can pretend to be sick, but it is difficult for horses to pretend to be sick, not to mention that it is impossible for thousands of horses to pretend to be sick in front of the meticulous work of being proficient in horse conditions - the Khitan people are also experts in raising horses! Mobei animal husbandry is second to none in the world, and it is almost impossible to hide the Khitan animal husbandry masters on this issue!

Xiao Zhili said: "Sweat and blood BMW is very sick? ”

"It can't be considered very strict." Yeluwu said: "I can still eat and run now, and if I can raise it until autumn, I may not have anything to do." Even forcibly driving them can still fight, but if Xue Fu really does that, these sweaty and bloody horses will be scrapped after a big battle! I estimate that there will be problems with the sweaty BMW and it is related to the high-intensity operation of the sweaty cavalry regiment last winter. ”

In last year's Battle of Guanzhong, the biggest payment was the Modao Battle Axe Formation - the entire corps was almost eight dead and one wasted! Survivors! And the sweat and blood cavalry regiment shocked and slashed, and the soldiers did not stay, and on the surface, its own damage was very small, so it was powerful in the world, in fact, people who were well versed in animal love knew that it had actually suffered Yan zhòng's "internal injury" under the undamaged surface!

"The sweaty cavalry followed the Mo sword and battle axe formation, and rushed at the army in my leather room. So much so that he almost took the place where our army was located - I don't think everyone can understand the fierceness of that battle. And after such a fierce battle, the sweat and blood cavalry regiment not only did not replace and recuperate, but followed all the way, from Qinxi to the north of the Yellow River. Xue Fu was able to stay up until he occupied the Elechuan before stopping. His sweat and blood horses are worthy of the name of BMW! ”

"So the sweat and blood BMW disease is tired?"

"It's possible. Maybe you have to add the reason for not adapting to the soil and water. Yeluwu said: "The southerners regard the lives of horses as mustard, if there is a general among the southerners who cherishes horses like their lives, then this person is Xue Fu." I believe that this Dawan prince will not risk sweating and blood, and more than half of his horses will die in this war. ”

"Horses for life", this is something that only the same "people on horseback" can understand, sometimes. The success or failure of a war on the grassland is far less important than the inheritance of the good horse breed.

"And without two-thirds of the sweat and blood horses, the combat power of the sweat and blood cavalry regiment will also be greatly reduced! Only in this way can we explain Cao Yuanzhong's lack of confidence in the face of us. You must know that when they were in Qinxi, their Heavenly Ce Monarchs and Ministers were not like this! ”

——————————

For the news of the illness of the sweaty BMW, people with different positions naturally have different reactions.

Yelu Wuzhi was happy in his heart after knowing it, and Gao Xingzhou in Ulzhou heard the news. But there was a sigh. Not only him, but his son, who is not yet eighteen years old, looks even more suffocating. said to Gao Xingzhou: "Dad, let's not go to fight Lechuan, other people's horses are sick!" Without the sweat and blood cavalry regiment, even if we win, it will be a victory! ”

Gao Xingzhou snorted at him and said, "What nonsense! The great event of the country of soldiers! We're going to fight, not fighting. It's a pity that we can't go head-to-head with the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment. But compared with the victory or defeat of private fame and national events, it is naturally a national affair! Now that the military order has been issued, don't say that Xue Fu is just a group of horses who are sick, even if his whole army is sick, I will still do it when it is time to do it! ”

——————————

And when Zhao Pu heard the news, he was shocked with suspicion! In the beginning. They suspected that it was just a smoke bomb released by Xue Fu, but as the news from various channels arrived, they could hardly deny the news.

However, for Zhe Deyan and Zhao Pu, the news that came next was even more terrible!

There was news from Ping'an City that Deran and Zhao Pu were optimistic about Yingzhou's east and west portals, and Xue Fu was about to send someone over to take over Yingzhou!

"What's going on!" Zhe Deyan almost jumped up: "The sweat and blood horse are sick, is General Xue also sick?" is actually coming to take over Yingzhou, doesn't he know that Shi Jin's soldiers and horses have been hoarded in the east and south of Yingzhou? That's the message I sent! ”

Zhao Pu groaned and said, "Perhaps, General Xue has other plans?" ”

"Who knows!" "I only hope that this is General Xue's ploy against the Khitans, but if this is a ploy, it may not have any effect!" With the wisdom of those people in Yunzhou City, no matter what General Xue did, it would be difficult to dispel their various doubts. ”

Compared with Xue Fu and Cao Yuanzhong, the two teenagers, Zhe Delan and Zhao Pu, are still too young, and their qualifications and status determine that the two of them are not even qualified to question Xue Fu, all they can do is to take orders.

A few days later, a party cavalry drove into Yingzhou, followed by another heavier news - on the side of Ping'an City, Xue Fu's banner finally moved, but this move was not to the northeast, but to move directly to the east to threaten Yunzhou!

Among Xue Fukai's army, the core army is extremely conspicuous, that is, a thousand sweaty and bloody horses who are not sick!

Cao Yuanzhong in Yunzhou City, after getting the news, his attitude towards Yelu Wuzhi also became tougher.

At this point, Zhe Deyan couldn't help but doubt Xue Fu's strategic intentions.

What does this General Xue want to do?

——————————

The news of the sweaty BMW's illness is not only spreading to the east, but also to the southwest, and about ten days after Zhao Pu and the others heard the news, Qin Xi's also began to have similar rumors!

"Sweaty and bloody BMW sick?"

Murong Chunhua and Ma Jirong all hurried over after hearing the news, as generals from the Western Regions, they naturally understood the impact of the sweat and blood horse on the combat strength of the sweat and blood cavalry regiment. Especially Murong Chunhua, he is one of the top five cavalry generals in the Anxi Tang Army.

Zhang Mai nodded: "Yes, in fact, I knew about this matter for a long time, but I didn't want to affect the morale of the army and the people, so I didn't say it." ”

Murong Chunhua said: "What should we do about the big battle in Linhuang Mansion?" Without sweat and blood, would Xue Fu still be able to support the Eagle Yang Army? ”

"If Xue Fu can arrive and meet the north and south, it will naturally be the best. In case it doesn't work, according to the current shape, our men and horses in Mobei, in fact, even if they fight alone and use it well, they can also overwhelm the Khitan in Huangfu. Zhang Mai said: "So, no matter what Xue Fu does, I will give him power." However, the new situation on Yanyun's side made me feel the need to support the operation of Eilechuan. ”

When Murong Chunhua and Ma Jirong heard this, they almost said in unison: "I'll go!" ”

Zhang Mai shook his hand and said, "Zheng Wei said that we are afraid that we will not be able to fight in two years!" Therefore, the main purpose of this trip is not to fight, one is to deter, and the other is to train troops. I want to pull the newly practiced Mo Dao Battle Axe Formation over, and train in the Eilechuan. This force came out of Qinxi, and then went down the river by boat, which did not cost much, and the troops stationed in Ganlong and guarding against Liu Zhiyuan did not move, so it would not affect the overall situation. ”

Murong Chunhua said, "Then who is the Lord going to send?" Black Tiger? ”

"Black Tiger's ability to command troops is enough to take charge of the army on his own, but his deterrent power is not enough, and he can't go to the point where the enemy marshal will be afraid when he hears his name." When Zhang Mai said this, he sighed and said, "If General Guo Shiyong is still here, he can go." Or maybe Xi Sheng isn't dead......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Mai had another entanglement in his heart, Xi Sheng was only a relatively good general under Zhang Mai before the Guanzhong War last year, and his momentum was far inferior to Guo Wei, let alone holding power like Guo Luo and Yang Yi. But after last year's war, his meaning has become completely different, if he didn't die, with the great military courage he showed in the Huanma Heights, it was enough to make the Khitan and Shi Jin famous generals lose their color and fear.

However, Xi Sheng is dead!

Zhang Mai was stunned for a long time, Murong Chunhua and Ma Jirong didn't speak, if Zhang Mai wanted them to charge into battle and kill the generals, they were willing to take the order, but to form a "deterrent", then not only ability, but also prestige. And within the Tiance Army, there are actually very few people who can suppress the enemy country just by name, not a single slap, at least he and Ma Jirong are not.

"Then I wonder who the marshal is going to send?"

"No one will be sent." Zhang Mai said: "Now I am the supreme commander of the Modao Tomahawk Formation, since I am going to train the troops, then it is naturally up to me!" (To be continued......)
