Chapter 239: Don't be in a hurry, eat and drink enough to act at night
The main general of the Liao army was hanged, the soldiers' momentum had been lost, many people only thought about escaping, and only a few dared to resist.
In the face of the large number of menacing Northern Route Army, the only thing waiting for the Liao people was massacre.
Qin Guan had ordered before that for the soldiers of the Liao State, what could be killed would never be kept.
Don't take prisoners.
In one hour, the Northern Route Army slaughtered the entire city of Zhuozhou.
Xiong Da reported that a total of more than 10,000 enemies were killed, more than 4,000 war horses were captured, and countless grains and grasses were captured, as for the armor on the soldiers, Qin Guan was not interested in letting the soldiers collect it now.
After packing up everything, Qin Guan immediately ordered to set off for Xijin Mansion immediately, and he must rush to the outside of Xijin Mansion before dark.
Li Xuan rode a horse to catch up with Qin Guan, and said with excitement on his face: "General, such a big victory, we must report to the imperial court and His Majesty as soon as possible, so that if someone calamates the general because of this, it is good to shut them up." ”
Qin Guan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Li Xuan returned to the car and wrote a note while hurrying, which was really difficult for him, and after a while, two carrier pigeons flew out.
Xijin Mansion, that is, Nanjing Xijin Mansion, is one of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, also known as Yanjing, that is, the modern north. Capital city.
Nanjing Xijin Mansion is the political, military and economic center of the Liao State in North China, Nanjing is the largest of the five capitals, and its architecture is basically the old city of the Tang Dynasty.
Commenting on the five capitals of the Great Liao, some people say that the status of Shangjing is the highest, and the largest area of Zhongjing is the largest, and when it comes to Nanjing, the capital of the Great Liao, its most significant feature is "wealth".
Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, so that the territory of the Liao State extended to the Great Wall, the Liao State attached great importance to Nanjing, and built it into an economic city of the Great Liao State, with a population of 180,000 people, more than 20 various square markets, the Liao State and the Zhao State have been in the market for many years, and the Xijin Mansion is the largest transshipment point and trading place.
It can be said that one-fifth of the income of the Great Liao Kingdom comes from here, and it is not an exaggeration to call this the money bag of the Great Liao Kingdom.
Xijin Mansion is naturally also an important defensive town, and close to the border, naturally stationed heavy troops, the border army commander Yamen is in Xijin Mansion, the border army commander Yelu Qicai, under the jurisdiction of all the border troops on the front line of Nanjing, a total of 50,000 people, and in the city of Nanjing, there are 20,000 border troops.
Ulian sent someone to send a battle report, and Yelu was very surprised after reading it, and asked sharply to Ulian's personal guards: "There is really a Zhao army outside Zhuozhou City, and the number is forty or fifty thousand. ”
"Yes, the big handsome, it's true, and the little one has seen it with his own eyes."
Yelu Wizard's eyes narrowed, and a few words came out of his mouth, "The Great Zhao Kingdom itself is in danger, and he dares to send troops to my Great Liao Kingdom to spread wilderness, he is really looking for death." ”
"Do you want to use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, you can send an army of forty or fifty thousand to come, without any support, if someone cuts off supplies, it will become a real lone army, is the emperor of Great Zhao really stupid to this extent, it is really ridiculous."
"Someone's coming!" Jeredevils shouted.
A guard came in.
"Gather all the generals to me for discussion." Yelu Qicai is not in a hurry, Zhuozhou City is strong and strong, and Ulian is not a fool, he believes that the army of the Great Zhao State may not be able to break through even if it takes a few days, and he has plenty of time to study countermeasures.
Yelu Wizard's idea was that since he came, he would take down all of this Zhao army.
When the generals heard that Zhao Guo had sent forty or fifty thousand people to attack, they were stunned at first, and then they all laughed.
A general said: "Marshal, we didn't participate in this war, I thought we wouldn't be able to get the credit, but now Zhao Guoren took the initiative to send it to the door, we can't let it go." ”
"Yes, handsome, I'm about to get out of my horns." Another general said.
"If you are in a panic, find a woman to pour it out." A person next to him teased.
"How can playing with women be as refreshing as killing southerners."
Yelu Qicai pressed his hand and said: "I called you here to discuss with you, how to completely annihilate this Zhao army, since they sent it to the door, they must not let it go." ”
"Understood, handsome."
Immediately, these Liao generals began to study how to move, trapped the Zhao people in the territory of Liao, and stopped the intersection to prevent them from escaping.
But at this moment, a military academy rushed in and said loudly: "Report to the commander, urgent military situation, Zhao Guo's army has been killed ten miles outside Nanjing." ”
Hearing this news, the seven or eight generals in the room, including Yelu Wizard, were all stunned, and their first reaction was impossible.
Jerry asked, "Make it clear." ”
"It's the big marshal, the defense post found the enemy's traces, came to report, a Zhao army is killing towards Nanjing City, the number is about forty or fifty thousand people, the handsome word banner is a 'Qin' word, when he found it, it was less than twenty miles away from Nanjing City, and now it should be about ten miles away from Nanjing City."
Yelu Qicai was still digesting the news, and a general next to him muttered: "Could it be that the Zhao army gave up Zhuozhou City and went around directly, wanting to attack Xijin Mansion." ”
Someone next to him said disdainfully: "If it is bypassed, it can only mean that this coach is a complete straw bag, this time it is more convenient, there is no need to study how to arrange the army, with Ulian sealing the mouth in the back, we only need half a day to be able to annihilate them." ”
Yelu Wizard always felt that things were not so simple, and said loudly, "Follow me to the city wall." ”
Yeluqi had just arrived at the south gate, and Zhao Yanshou, who had been left behind in Xijin Mansion, also came, and when he saw Yeluqi, he saluted and asked, "Dashuai, I don't know what the situation is." ”
Liao State is different from Zhao State, in Zhao State, even if it is a low-level civil official, he will not take the initiative to say hello to a military general, while in Liao State, the status of military generals is very high, and civil officials are more like auxiliaries, so Zhao Yanshou, a left-behind officer, also needs to say hello when he sees Yelu Wizard.
Yelu Wizard simply told him, Zhao Yanshou was also surprised, there was such a war, going deep into the Liao State regardless of the back road, this is not to send him to death.
When Yelu stood at the head of the city, he could already see a large army slowly moving in the distance, with horses' hooves and banners waving, looking very majestic.
Having already seen the shadow of the Nanjing city wall, Qin Guan signaled to stop, called his four generals and said, "Set up camp in place and make a fire to cook." ”
Xiong Da and the others were all stunned, and Xiong Er asked, "Young Master, it's still early, don't you attack the city?" ”
Before, Qin Guan was still thinking about it, and marched all the way to the bottom of Zhongjing City.
But the army is here, Qin Guan is not in a hurry, his trip to the Great Liao State, the purpose is to involve the entire Liao State, and at the same time involve the invasion of the Zhao State army, so he is ready to make enough momentum and step on it step by step.
Qin Guan smiled, "Don't worry, eat and drink enough to act at night." ”
