The army marched eastward, rolling up a cloud of gray smoke and dust.

Jin Chunqiu looked at the Youzhou soldiers on the road, carrying bows and crossbows, and secretly compared him with his own soldiers in his heart.

"You are Kim Chunqiu, the prince of Silla?"

Although it was very unpleasant to be called by his real name, thinking of the identity of the other party, Jin Chunqiu immediately put aside a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart and said: "It is here, please meet Shanggu Gong." ”

Jin Chunqiu glanced at the other party, then lowered his head, not daring to look more, although he knew that this person was very young, but he did not expect to be so young.

Li Chongjiu was dressed in armor and led his war horse, and after he told Kongshan the identity of this person, he understood that the person in front of him was the martial arts king in history.

It is with the joint efforts of three generations of his son, grandson, and grandson that he completed the true reunification of Silla on the Korean Peninsula.

Jin Chunqiu said: "I knew that the battle of Shanggu Gong was imminent, so I led five hundred Hualang warriors to help Shanggu Gong. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Thank you King Zhenping for your help, and I will wait and see for the bravery of your army." But they have come to my tent......"

Before Li Chongjiu finished speaking, Jin Chunqiu said: "Please send Shanggu Gong, when Xiao Wang was in Silla, he knew a little about bow and horse martial arts, and literature and sinology." ”

Li Chongjiu nodded appreciatively, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, let the prince succumb, first for the general of the army, and lead these five hundred Silla warriors." ”

"Yes, the last general commands." Jin Chunqiu said loudly.

After finishing speaking, Li Chongjiu turned over and got on his horse.

Jin Chunqiu looked at Li Chongjiu's back as he left in the dust, and stepped forward to ask, "Prince, what do you think of Shanggu Gong?" ”

Jin Chunqiu said: "If this person can achieve today's status, he must have his ability, but whether he can win the Khitan or not depends on whether his subordinates are effective." ”

This avenue leading from Zhuo County to Liaoxi County is already familiar to the soldiers.

But this time, along the way, it was different than before.

The Khitan is coming, if the city is broken, the old and young of Zhuojun will not be spared. Therefore, the people of the villages along the way spontaneously carried a basket of corn cakes and twisted a pot of buttermilk, and stood silently beside the road.

Once a soldier is thirsty and tired, he will take it from the common people's baskets.

Li Chongjiu saw a white-haired old woman on the road, carrying a string of straw sandals made by herself, and kept asking the passing soldiers if they needed to be replaced.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be moved when he saw this scene, and Qu Yanran's words for the benefit of the party for the first term of office rang in his ears again. The emperors and generals of all dynasties have been able to take care of the people when realizing their ambitions, which is enough to leave a good reputation.

Can you do it yourself?

When the army left the plain, it entered the heavy and continuous Yanshan mountain range, and now at the foot is the imperial road built by Emperor Yang of Sui for the conquest of Goguryeo, which is large enough for three carriages to travel side by side between the lofty mountains.

20,000 county soldiers, 3,000 Goguryeo auxiliary troops, 1,000 Mukunbu cavalry, and 500 Hualang army soldiers marched between the long mountains.

After entering Liaoxi County, the population gradually became scarce, and the army rested overnight, that is, by the roadside. The soldiers dragged off the leggings and plucked the blood blisters from the soles of their feet, then crushed the rice cakes and water in the iron horse bowl, sprinkled a little and a half stars of coarse salt, and boiled them with gravel stones.

This is also no way, the rice cakes used as military rations are not thoroughly licked, and most of them are not threshed, so if they are not cooked, they are very poor and difficult to swallow.

This is also a condition limit, but the soldiers have no complaints, the current world is in chaos, the fields are barren, the land of Zhuo County, the poor people can only eat bean crumbs and mixed chaff, bark leaves, fluffy oak noodles, eat everything, if it were not for Wei Zheng to Li Chongjiu to set up a righteous warehouse, soup porridge for the people, this winter, Zhuo County will at least starve to death of 10,000 people.

As for the scenes in the other counties, I can't bear to mention it, and the matter of cannibalism does not need to be said by people who fled from other counties, and everyone knows about it.

Therefore, as a soldier, it is quite satisfying to have a full bite to eat, albeit a little shoddy.

As for Jin Chunqiu, he was also angry when he saw the food provided to him for the Hualang Army, and he was also angry about the rice cakes, but after seeing the meals of other armies, especially Li Chongjiu himself, he actually took the rice cakes and gnawed hard, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, and he was even more speechless at the moment.

Jin Chunqiu observed carefully, and saw that although the soldiers were eating poor food, their morale was still very high, and he couldn't help nodding silently, and said that the tenacity of the Great Sui people was really better than that of the Silla people.

After entering Liaoxi County, although Li Chongjiu was all infantry, he was not worried about the outflanking and ambush of the Khitan Xi cavalry. The movements of the Khitan Xi army, the scouts of Tudiji, and the Ding Ling scouts of Cui Xu are all constantly coming.

Two days after arriving in Liaoxi County, Tudiji and Cui Xu both led the warriors of the clan to come. Tudi Ji led 10,000 warriors, while Cui Xu led 5,000 men and horses.

This is the largest mobilization of the two departments, among which Li Chongjiu remembers that last year, when Tudiji and Luo Yi were fighting, the most people in the ministry could mobilize were no more than 8,000 soldiers, and now in addition to the 800 warriors who were transferred to the Wansheng Army, Tudiji can actually make up 10,000 soldiers.

It turned out that after Li Chongjiu's successive victories in Goguryeo, his prestige was greatly shaken, and there were constantly people from the same sect who crossed the Liaoshui from the Sumo River and came to Tudiji. Therefore, the number of people under the command of Tudi Ji continued to increase. This time, the Khitans invaded Liaoxi, plundered several Ya tribes, burned, killed and looted, and suddenly became angry, and also prepared soldiers and horses.

Jin Chunqiu was worried that Li Chongjiu's strength was not enough to fight against the Khitan, but after hearing that the two divisions of Ding Ling sent 15,000 men and horses to rendezvous, he suddenly felt a little confident in his heart.

But Jin Chunqiu immediately inspected the two armies, and compared Li Chongjiu's county soldiers, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Ding Lingbu, the soldiers of the Yan Ya Department are all young and strong tribesmen, all have old and weak young strong men, the equipment is simple, how simple is it, a big stick nails a few bones, can be used as weapons, the soldiers are all covered with animal skins, there is no decent armor on the body, holding wooden shields, hunting bows to participate in the battle.

However, despite the poor equipment, Jin Chunqiu looked at the muscles on the soldiers' bodies and their bronzed skin, and knew that these people grew up among the poor mountains and bad waters, and their strength and courage could greatly make up for the lack of equipment.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu will gather the army and continue to advance. Ding Ling pushed their cart and followed behind the army.

Ding Lingren's cart, loaded with their food tents, whether it is fighting or migrating, Ding Lingren wherever he goes, the cart will follow wherever he goes, Ding Lingren's wheel height is very exaggerated, almost the same height as horses, but also because Ding Lingren likes to use high cars, so they are also called high car people.

The origin of the Gaoche clan comes from the Ele clan, and now Xue Yantuo in Mobei, Hui is the same sect, when Rouran rose in the grassland, Ding Ling people surrendered to Rouran, and then the Northern Wei Dynasty nine raids Rouran, captured six or seven hundred thousand Ding Ling people moved to the Han land, and then this branch is called Ding Ling Ling.

Later, Zhai Liao, who moved to the Han Dynasty, gathered Ding Lingren to establish Zhai Wei in Hebei, and then was destroyed by Murong Xianbei's Yan State, and many clansmen were moved to the vicinity of Longcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, located in Liaoxi County.

After the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, Ding Lingren still lived in western Liaoning, but life was very difficult, but the custom of using a cart was still preserved, such as the current Ding Lingbu commander Cui Xu called himself a descendant of Zhai Liao.

After Ding Lingren, it was the Liaoxi Yan people, compared with Ding Lingren pushing a cart.

The horses of the people are not ridden, but used for pulling horses. Liaodong horses are good at galloping, and can carry weight, are pulled to combat horses to use, but this is a minority after all, most of the Liaodong horses are very tall, but the speed is not fast, so it is more suitable for pulling horses.

After the meeting of the large army, the forward had already encountered the Khitan forward cavalry, and a skirmish broke out with a few horsemen and dozens of horsemen.

Since Li Chongjiu's main cavalry had not yet arrived, the scouts were all the cavalry of the Yan Dynasty and the cavalry of the county soldiers. Although the 20,000 county soldiers are mainly infantry, and the cavalry is no more than 1,000, it does not mean that the county soldiers and cavalry are not strong. The county soldiers and cavalry are all children of good families in border counties, good at arching horses, and well-equipped. However, it is said that the forward scouts of the Khitan are also the best warriors in the clan.

Although the scout battle was small, it was a test of the two armies before the decisive battle. Not only to test the power, but also to collect the surrounding terrain and enemy intelligence.

After this scout fierce battle, the Khitan scout cavalry suffered hundreds of casualties and then retreated slightly, it turned out to be the high mountains and dense forests of western Liaoning, the river valleys were vertical and horizontal, and the most powerful scouts were not cavalry, but the people who grew up here and were familiar with the terrain.

Although the Khitan was also snooped by people in the forest, after all, the strong dragon was defeated by the ground snake, so he gave up the entanglement in front and retreated to the shore of the white wolf water, on a plain.

On the plain, Li Chongjiu stood on the top of the mountain, watching the camp tent of the Khitan people spread across the entire plain through the white wolf water, and the white felt bags were densely packed, revealing a cold and killing intent. Li Chongjiu listened to a few soldiers who were old in the battle formation on the side whispering, saying that the Khitan Xi people claimed to be 200,000 troops this time, and what they said was really true.

Li Chongjiu knew that the Khitan people wanted to use the power of their cavalry on the plains to fight him in a decisive battle. Li Chongjiu would not go deep into the grassland, but set up a large camp on the edge of the White Wolf River Valley according to the mountain, and patiently waited for Li Hu's army to arrive.

Originally, according to expectations, Li Hu should have led the main cavalry of the grassland to come here two days ago to join the division, but now it is a long time to be seen.

All the generals were a little apprehensive in their hearts.

In the face of the Khitan Xi army, the reinforcements missed the appointment before the war, which is a very fatal blow to the military heart, if it were not for Li Hu is Li Chongjiu's father, it is impossible to turn his back on his son, if he is led by other generals, I am afraid that the generals will not be able to sit still, and the most cowardly Ding Ling people will take the first step to smear oil on the soles of their feet.

But why Li Hu missed the appointment, this is difficult for the public to speculate.
