Chapter 41: The Instinct of a Super General

readx; Because it is the territory of the Liao State, the chickens and dogs jump over the wall wherever the army goes, whether it is the farm of the Liao people, or the pasture of the Liao people, after the army, it is inevitable that it will wither down, except for the wanton killing, as long as it is something that can be eaten and used, it has been used as war materials by the army, except for the fact that there is no woman behind the car, Yun Zheng almost did all the bad things that the Liao army could do in the Great Song Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The autumn harvest crops on the plains are burning, countless urbanizations have become rubble piles, and the terrified Liao people are running around in the wasteland, shouting, and then desperately rushing to the large cities of the Liao State, and the army has not yet arrived in the war zone, which has created a huge wave of refugees for the Liao State.

The tiger led the outpost army to purposefully drive these refugees to Ulzhou, Yizhou, Lingqiu, Feihu, Zhuozhou, Fanyang, these large military cities were all shocked, coupled with the news of Xiao Huo'er's defeat at Yanmen Pass, those terrified Liao nobles snowflaked the documents requesting rescue to the table of the new king of the Southern Courtyard, Ye Luxin.

The Hunyuan River and the Juma River are the famous grain-producing areas of the Liao State, and they suffered such a devastating blow, which was an unacceptable loss for the Liao State, and the government and the opposition were shaken for a while.

Di Qing, who had just come down from the front line of Suicheng, heard the news, laughed three times, and returned directly to Suicheng, since Yun Zheng went to pack up the Yelu Flower Pagoda in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no need for him to go again, more than 10,000 people in the Liao army, the losses caused were also limited, not to mention that under the layers of countless military villages in the Great Song Dynasty, the soldiers of the Yelu Flower Tower were exhausted. There should be no way to threaten His Majesty the Great Song Emperor in Zhaozhou.

Li Chang looked at the mountains of grain and lamented from early morning to evening, seeing that the sun was about to set, and there was still no news from the Great Song Dynasty government that had said that they would come to deliver grain.

The scout reported that there was no one to be seen within fifty miles. Li Chang had no choice but to grit his teeth and order all the grain to be burned. Yun Zheng only gave him one day, the army fought in the enemy's territory, and only by constantly moving could the enemy not find a clue, at least in a short period of time, he was helpless against his own army.

As long as it does not affect the light materials that can be taken away, it will be taken away, and what cannot be taken away will be completely burned, and at this time, as long as it weakens the strength of the Liao State. On the other hand, the power of the Great Song Dynasty will increase by two points. The strategy of eating the enemy was taken to the extreme.

Before entering the Hunyuan River Valley, Yun Zheng demanded that his army should be all cavalry, and the elite cavalry troops could even achieve one person and two horses, and those infantry. Now also on the back of the war horse, in this way, the march of the whole army has been accelerated by at least five times.

There are six eagles hovering overhead, there is no shelter on the Great Plains, and the role of the Harrier Eagle in monitoring the battlefield has been exerted to the extreme, that is, because of the existence of the Harrier Eagle, Yun Zheng dared to boldly break down his 20,000 people into squads one by one, and walked through the gaps of the Liao army, continuing to destroy the foundation of Liao State's rule in the Yanyun area.

The furious Yelu Hongji personally set out from Yizhou with the leather room army. wanted to exterminate Yun Zheng, just when he and the army of Yeluxin, the king of the Southern Courtyard, were about to form an encirclement, Yun Zheng's army disappeared without a trace. All that was left for the Liao people was the ruins of the walls and the huge fires.

Yelu Hongji grabbed a handful of charred wheat from the ground and closed his eyes in pain, Yun Zheng had caused appalling losses to Da Liao in just half a month.

The land of Liao is huge, but most of the area is a land of bitter cold, only the land of Yanyun has a large area of farmland that can be cultivated, and they provide valuable food for Liao, because of this. Liao Guocai was reluctant to pay attention to Song Guo's repeated suggestions to redeem Yanyun.

In recent years, it has become colder and colder in the north, and the fishing sea has been completely frozen since ten years ago. In the memories of some old people, twenty years ago, the fishing sea could only freeze thirty percent, and the barbarians there only needed to come to the front of the ice and take branches to fork up huge fish.

The biggest reason why there have been constant wars in the north in the Great Liao over the years is because the barbarians are moving south, and the Murowei people and the Jurchens of the East China Sea are also moving south.

In particular, the Meri Urgent Department is unscrupulously recruiting barbarians, and their power is rapidly expanding, and the Northern Recruitment Division has been fighting hard in the north for many years, which has greatly depleted the strength of the Great Liao.

The defeat of Xiao Huo'er in Xijing Province finally woke Yelu Hongji from his anger, and when he looked up again, he found that the current Great Liao Jiangshan was in danger.

Since the defeat of Xiao Huo'er, the treacherous Xixia State hurriedly signed a truce agreement with Fu Bi in the land west of the river, and the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division actually crossed the border, and it took only three days to defeat the Bai Dadan Department of the Liao State, the Basi Mother Department, and the Dali Bottom Coalition Army, the soldiers have crossed the black water, and approached Yin Mountain, which is the most abundant pasture of the Liao country.

The sixteen states of Yanyun cannot be lost, and the Elechuan cannot be lost......

Yelu Hongji had never felt that he was so tired, looked at the Khitan nobles under the seat, and said slowly: "Xijing was defeated, the Xixia people were treacherous, and the Jurchens of the East China Sea were also seeking to re-establish the Bohai Kingdom. ”

Yelu Xin, the king of the Southern Courtyard, said: "Yun Zheng, the one who messes up the situation of my Great Liao, as long as we can bite this person and defeat him, all the problems will be solved, not to mention that my Great Liao fierce Yelu Flower Tower has been attacked into the territory of the Song State for three hundred miles, yesterday's army reported that Dingzhou City will be able to go down in three days, Your Majesty may wish to give him some more time, as long as Yelu Flower Tower takes Dingzhou, we are equivalent to planting a nail in the territory of the Song State, as long as the follow-up army can catch up with the general of the Flower Tower, we can use Dingzhou City to exert coercion on the Song State, Forced the Song people to re-recognize the alliance of the Yuanyuan.

After that, we will go back to the army to teach the unruly Xixia people a lesson, and then exterminate those barbarians one by one, and after we recuperate, we will ask the Song people for the blood debt of Yanmen Pass! ”

Yelu Hongji said: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, but Yun Zheng disappeared near Lingqiu, and our scouts can't find it, how can we capture this murderous jackal?" We don't have much time, and once we consume too much time on him, Huata Aiqing's lone army penetrates into the territory of the Song Kingdom, which can be called a crisis, and I am worried that it will change later. ”

Xiao Ke, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the place of Lingqiu is not more than a hundred miles round, where are there only a few hills, there are no mountains and Daze, as long as you give Weichen three thousand scouts, you will definitely make this thief have nowhere to escape." ”

The veteran general of the Liao State suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Yun Zheng has left the land of Lingqiu, and it would be good for Wei Yunzheng, the major general of the Yanmen Pass Army, to have 20,000 people in the battle, this time he burned and plundered in my Great Liao, and what he did was to delay our army and lead us by the nose in Lingqiu."

Since Yun Zheng is the so-called famous general of the Song Kingdom, he should know that when my army arrives, it is the day of his fall, how can he be willing to stay in Lingqiu and kill himself.

Weichen heard that the monarch of the Song State came to the battlefield in person this time, and now he is stationed in Zhaozhou, which is only more than 300 miles away from Dingzhou, and an emperor who has never been on the battlefield is fighting in general.

Zhao Zhen may not understand the truth in this, Di Qing, Yun Zheng, Pang Ji, and Han Qi are all considered temporary talents, and there is no reason not to understand the danger in this.

Di Qing's personal guard army was originally in Xiongzhou Baigou Post and Lao Chen's fierce battle, the two sides attacked and defended each other, but these days Baigou Post could not hold out, the fierce Song army disappeared overnight, Lao Chen thought that the army must be to protect their monarch Zhao Zhen.

In addition, since Yun Zheng had already defeated Xiao Huo'er, Guo Hengchuan and others, why didn't he go to Jingluo Xijing? Now there are only tens of thousands of Yelu Dagu's tens of thousands of people in Xijing, and I heard that Shenwu City is only left with black bone poison leading his own soldiers to defend it, if Yun Zheng wants to pass through Xijing, this is the right time, Shenwu City can go down with a drum, Yelu Dagu's rout is expected to be unable to stick to Xijing, and the supreme battle feats at his fingertips, why did he want to give it to the Xixia people?

The old minister thought that there was only one possibility, that is, the purpose of Yun Zheng's visit this time was more than 10,000 people from Yelu Huata, and the general of Huata had built a Jingguan in Tang County, which touched the sadness of the Song people, and how could a high-minded and arrogant person like Yun Zheng not think about a blood shame? ”

Yelu Hongji was taken aback, and immediately issued an order: "Come here, pass on my will, and order Yelu Huata to withdraw immediately, abandon Dingzhou City, and stick to Tang County!" ”

When the Liao army searched for Yun Zheng in Lingqiu, his 20,000 troops had quietly entered the Pingxingling at the junction of Lingqiu and Fanzhi.

Standing on the Pingxing Ridge, Yun Zheng was full of emotion, at this time, he could not see the shadow of the Pingxing Pass, there was only one mountain that was not too high, if he wanted the Pingxing Pass, he still waited until the Ming Dynasty appeared.

There is Heng Mountain in the north of the flat ridge, such as the high level of the screen. There is Wutai Mountain in the south, and between the two mountains there is a trench-type lowland that is not very wide, and the flat ridge is the uplifted part of this belt-like lowland, so the situation is very dangerous.

Because Hengshan and Wutai are both fault-block mountains, which are very steep and block the north-south traffic, this belt-like lowland has become the most convenient channel connecting the northern part of the Hebei Plain with Shanxi.

But this road has not yet been developed, and only a few smugglers and bandits who occupy the mountains know of it.

Li Chang rode a horse and walked beside Yun Zheng, constantly looking up at the dangerous terrain on both sides, he couldn't figure out how Yun Zheng knew that there was such a road here, and he was sure that this road would definitely allow 20,000 cavalry to pass through here.

wanted to ask, and found that Yun Zheng was thinking about the ancient feelings, so he closed his mouth and classified this ability as an instinct of a super general. (To be continued)
