In Yunzhou City, there was calm. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for the biquge.info of Aishang Novel Network
Not many people know that Yelu Deguang entered Yunzhou City, and externally, it was only announced that Han Yanhui would inspect Yunzhou, but not many people knew that Yelu Deguang actually appeared secretly at this juncture.
Inside the entire mansion, more than a dozen people gathered, all of whom were Khitan veterans. When Han Yanhui said that he had just received a piece of information, all the generals in the room shook.
"In the territory of Tiance, there are signs of secret troop transfer!" Han Yanhui said.
"Secret troop transfer?"
"Yes." Han Yanhui said: "Although most of the secrets they do are done at night, how can the actions of the army not be the slightest rumor? On the Iguasugan Road, after all, it is not a wilderness, but a place where there are many business travelers. β
Yerod Guang said: "The night march...... Hum! When did this happen? β
"This ......," Han Yanhui said, "it was probably a month or two ago......"
"What happened a month or two ago, now I say it!" Yelu Deguang said: "You have spent so much money and so much manpower, and you are doing such things? If it happened on Gansu Road a month or two ago, then Zhang Mai would have already arranged everything properly! The Han people use soldiers, pay attention to 'food sufficiency', now that the autumn harvest is approaching, Zhang Mai will have a seizure at any time, you only heard the news now, if I have not prepared, but how to tell me to react! β
Han Yanhui's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he said, "The minister is guilty." However, they are separated from each other, and Tiance is tightly guarded, and these news ......"
"That's it!" Yelu Deguang said: "Actually, Zhang Mai's thoughts, even if there is no such information, I can speculate that seven or eight times out of ten!" Hmph, he is ostensibly targeting Shi Jingjiao everywhere, but in fact, he is still targeting my Khitan! β
"That's not necessarily," Yelushuo said: "If Zhang Mai fights me first, not to mention that he may not be able to win, even if he wins, our cavalry can advance or retreat, and after the battlefield is defeated, retreat to the rear and regroup, so even if he fails, he will not be destroyed." This is the reason why for thousands of years, even if the Han people have more troops than us, they have never been able to calm the Hu. But Shi Jingjiao is not, this time he faced off against Zhang Mai, everyone else was defeated, and Shi Jingjiao couldn't be defeated! β
The army did not fight, and it was not possible to say a defeat lightly, but Yelu Shuogu did not seem to be taboo, and continued to analyze: "In the last battle of Taonan, although Zhang Mai defeated me, but after the surrender was all peripheral Zahu, Khitan tribes, Xi, Hui and other close relatives and tribes, all regrouped and returned after the collapse, and the manpower we lost was actually not strict, and the vitality was not injured. This is the person who Zhang Mai can beat me, but he can't win me. But Shi Jingjiao is different, if Zhang Mai wins Shi Jingjiao, he can have all his land, and if Zhang Mai gets the Central Plains, he can have all his people. Moreover, Shi Jingjiao's army is not as good as our department, as long as he has a big defeat, he is afraid that the entire Central Plains will be invincible in the face of Zhang Mai. β
Han Yanhui said: "What General Yelu said is true. If Zhang Mai defeats Shi Jingjiao, he eats a state and a county, the strength will be stronger, with his current strength and prestige, if he annexes Guanzhong, then he will have the qualification to win the world, if he wins Chang'an, with his Tiance army's propaganda skills, I am afraid that in a blink of an eye, the people of the Central Plains will hear the scenery. After the end of the Tang Dynasty, my Khitan was able to defeat the Central Plains Dynasty repeatedly, because the Central Plains Dynasty lost the northwest pastures, lacked horses to use, and could not form a strong cavalry. But now Zhang Mai's cavalry is not under me, if he is allowed to annex the Central Plains, with the wealth of the Central Plains to support the warriors of the northwest, and have the length of foot cavalry, then his army will be forced to the outside, and the people of Yanyun will respond to the inside, only afraid that my Khitan will not be able to keep the land of the Sei. β
"Chang'an...... Changan...... Hum! Yelu Deguang said: "He can't get Chang'an!" As long as Shi Jingjiao is not too wasteful this time, then Guanzhong will be the place where Zhang Mai is buried! As he spoke, he suddenly glared at Han Yanhui and said, "How is the investigation of that person's affairs?" β
"The man?" Han Yanhui reacted immediately, knowing that Yelu Deguang was talking about Yelubei. When Yelu Abaoji was still there, he called himself the emperor of heaven, Shu Luping called himself the queen of the earth, Yelu Bei was the emperor of the people, and the status of the heir had long been established, it was Shu Luping who pulled the eldest son off the horse, although the status of Yelu Deguang has been continuously improved over the years, especially last year's Taonan War took the opportunity to completely smash the power of the third brother Yelu Lihu, and the Khitan is facing unprecedented unification, but Yelu Bei is still a piece of his heart, although this eldest brother has been in exile for many years and has become a monk, But there is still considerable appeal within the Khitan.
For Yelu Deguang, Zhang Mai is just an external trouble, as Yelu Shuogu said, with the foundation of the Khitan and the mobility of the nomadic cavalry, Zhang Mai can only defeat him, but it is difficult to eliminate him, and the worst case is to retreat to the outside of the fortress and confront Zhang Mai on the Great Wall, but Yelu Bei is different, if there is a chance for this henchman, it is possible to uproot himself, even if this chance is very slim, but Yelu Deguang can not be unguarded!
"Human ......" Han Yanhui hesitated for a moment and said, "He is still in the territory of Tiance." β
"In Liangzhou?" Jerod's face darkened.
Han Yanhui said: "I don't know where it is now, but last year it seems that I went to Hehuang, entered the Tibetan Buddhism, cut off the meat, quit drinking, it is said that it is a cultivation for the day, known as the five-wheel master, and the world is called the living Buddha, and now there are many disciples, among these disciples, there are Khitan, Han, and Tubo." Even Mo Nan has all the nonsense that it can cure diseases and drive away ghosts, guide people into the promised land, and travel thousands of miles to take refuge. Even the high-level of Tiance seems to have people who worship him. β
"High-rise?"
Han Yanhui said: "I heard that Li Bin, the former privy deputy envoy of the Tiance Army, worshipped Zong Hui as a teacher with that person, entered Tibetan Buddhism, and recognized that person as a senior brother. Now he has no longer taken care of military and political affairs. There is also a strong general, Shi Jian, although he did not enter the empty mΓ©n to be a monk, but he also bowed under the man's seat. β
Yelu Deguang sneered: "Pretend to be a god nΓ²ng ghost!" β
Han Yanhui said: "That Li Bin has been bumpy for half his life, and he has been tortured again, and recently he has been alienated by Zhang Mai, and both the body and the god of JΔ«ng are suffering, so it is reasonable to enter the Buddha." β
Yerod said, "If that person is really willing to take refuge in the Buddha from now on, then it is also a good thing!" Well, after defeating Zhang Mai, I will invite him to explain to Khitan Erlang, I really want to see if he really sees through everything. β
Han Yanhui said: "Yes." β
Yelu Deguang said again: "In this battle of Guanlong, Shi Jingjiao must have harbored evil intentions, intending to lead me and Zhang Mai to fight. I just fulfilled his wish and frustrated Zhang Mai's sharpness to show him! I want the world to know that the strongest person in the world is not his Tiance, but my Khitan! β
Han Yanhui said: "Your Majesty is Shengming! As long as Zhang Mai can be restrained, Shi Jingjiao will definitely be afraid. And when we deal with Zhang Mai, we don't necessarily have to destroy his entire army, as long as we thwart his edge and make Tiance a country of partial peace. As long as Tiance can't get Chang'an, once it falls into a situation of partial peace, after a generation or two, Hezhong will first split out, and then Ningyuan will be difficult to restrain with broken leaves, and Longyou will inevitably fall apart, and at that time, Tiance will not be a problem! β
"One or two generations?" Yelu Deguang laughed: "Then it depends on whether Zhang Mai can block my knife!" β

Inside Luoyang City.
Shi Jingjiao took the information from the north, frowned, and said, "There are soldiers and horses on the Gansu Road? β
Although the communication between Shi Jin and Tiance was more convenient, Shi Jingjiao had not been in charge of the Central Plains for a long time, and Li Congke's original fine work system had not been able to take over all, so the spy deployment of the Tiance army was not as good as that of the Khitan.
The intelligence only said that there were secret operations of military horses within Tiance, and the scale and movement of the secret operations were not explained.
"It's not surprising that Zhang Mai wants to deal with me." Shi Jingjiao said: "It's just that Han Yanhui actually revealed such an important intention to me...... What does he mean? β
Liu Zhiyuan sneered: "Naturally, we want to take precautions as soon as possible, if our army is caught off guard and defeats too quickly, then Zhang Mai will swallow the Central Plains, and the Khitan will not be good at that time, not only will it be difficult to get involved in the Central Plains from now on, maybe even the sixteen states of Yanyun will have to spit out!" But if we take proper precautions, Tiance attacks, and our army defends, then the two strong will meet, and the Khitan will just sit next to it to reap the benefits! β
Shi Jingjiao's face looked a little ugly, and the battle had not yet been fought, but Liu Zhiyuan's analysis pointed out that Shi Jin's military strength was not as good as Tiance! It seems that if the Khitan does not fight, the Jin army will have to be defeated when the two armies meet.
However, this seems to be another fact, in fact, Shi Jingjiao himself is not sure that he will be able to stop the eastward invasion of Tiance's iron hoof.
"Zhiyuan," Shi Jingjiao showed rare patience and tolerance with Liu Zhiyuan, who held the power of the army: "In your opinion, how should we deploy?" β
Liu Zhiyuan said: "Zhang Mai is invincible in thousands of miles, this time he is secretly deploying troops in the territory, once the war starts, there will be something unexpected by us." And on the border between our country and Tiance, there is a lack of natural dangers that can stop the cavalry, if the pursuit battle is launched in the Guanzhong Plain, once the field battle is lost, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reverse the forecast! Therefore, the best strategy is to defend the city - to use the strong city to consume the strength of the heavenly policy, and then sit back and wait for the Khitan to intervene. Since Jerod will come to give us news, it is expected that "
Shi Jingjiao said: "Which city do you want to defend?" β
Liu Zhiyuan said: "The city to be defended, first, must be strong enough, otherwise it will not be able to resist the iron hooves of the Tang army, once it is lost, it will empty the morale of our army; Second, this city must be so that the Tang army can't get around, and if Zhang Mai knows that it is unfavorable, it must be attacked! Looking at the entire Guanzhong, there is only one city that can take on this heavy responsibility! β
"Which one?"
"Chang'an!"
Above the main hall, you can see Shi Jingjiao's body moving!
Chang'an, which is already located in the center of the entire Guanzhong Plain, if the battlefield is preset in Chang'an, it means that the four hundred miles of fertile fields in western Qin will become outcasts!
Liu Zhiyuan saw Shi Jingjiao's hesitation and persuaded: "Your Majesty, Qin Xi is the old rule of Li Congke, after the Ding Revolution, most of the orders of the vassal domains to His Majesty were disobeyed, and they colluded with Zhang Mai, and the terrain was favorable to the cavalry - if a battle was fought there, our army would lose more and win less." Even if he can hold it, Zhang Mai will be unfavorable when he sees the shape, and he may make a detour to northern Qinbei and attack Chang'an with a surprise army! At that time, the army deployed in western Qin would be attacked by the enemy. Therefore, although it is a pity to take the initiative to give up, it is better to concentrate troops and defend Chang'an than to waste troops in a disadvantageous place! β
Shi Jingjiao sighed and said: "I don't understand this truth, but if Zhang Mai is close to Chang'an, the Central Plains will inevitably shake, and it will ...... at that time."
He stopped, and Liu Zhiyuan said: "Once Chang'an is surrounded, it is inevitable that the Central Plains will shake, but it has to be so. β
Shi Jingjiao was still hesitating, and Sang Weihan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if Chang'an is besieged and the Central Plains is shaken, it will be a good thing for our army." Of course, the premise is that Chang'an can hold on in such a situation. β
Shi Jingjiao was surprised and said, "It's a good thing that the country is shaking? β
"In normal times, it is naturally not a good thing, but at present, it is a good thing." Sang Weihan said: "Imagine that although the Khitan is ready to come to the rescue, and although the Shu State is torn up with Tiance, will they send us out first to intercept Zhang Mai?" β
"Of course not."
"So, under what circumstances will Khitan and Meng Shu send troops?"
Shi Jingjiao let out a nasal voice: "Then it must be when our army is unable to support itself that they will be dispatched." What kind of kindness can Yelu Deguang and Meng ChangxiΗo have to help? They were worried that after Zhang Mai annexed the Central Plains, it would be their turn next. β
"That's right!" Sang Weihan said: "Now the war is about to break out, but the Khitan and Meng Shu will definitely wait and see. But once Zhang Maibing arrived in Chang'an, the world shook, and at that time, both Yelu Deguang and Meng Chang would not be able to sit still! If there is a Shu army from the back, the Khitan from the north thunder press, and our army with Chang'an Jiancheng to drag Zhang Mai's front, at that time the three sides of the army, why worry about Zhang Mai not broken? β

Outside Chengdu, Zhao Jiliang said goodbye to Wang.
The just-concluded Meng Shu court meeting decided that the king would return to the town of Hanzhong, in fact, its core task would be to keep an eye on Guanzhong, if the shape of the shì changed, he could command the army, after the attack on the Tiance army.
Although Wang Chuhui is a civil servant, Zhao Jiliang believes that what is about to happen in Guanzhong is more of a test of political vision than military literacy.
When parting, the two ministers naturally did not hold hands and look at each other with tears in their eyes, but only worried about the situation.
"Brother Wang is going, and I care about it." Zhao Jiliang said: "Whether this matter is properly handled or not is related to the survival of my Shu." Although His Majesty was very angry at the insult of the envoy and was inclined to send troops to Xiliang, in my opinion, it was better not to be an enemy of Tiance, but not to be an enemy of him. If Shi Jingjiao and the Khitan fight with the Tiance Army are evenly matched, we don't need to make a move. β
"Brother Zhao, don't worry." Wang replied: "I move as a camera. If the battle is stalemate, we are happy to sit and watch the tiger fight, but if Shi Jingjiao is defeated and the Tiance army is like a bamboo, then the younger brother will be punished! β
