Chapter 377: The First Prince Killed in Battle (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

After three days in the pioneer battalion of the First Army of the First Military Region, Li Biao's cognition has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It turned out that Li Biao didn't care much about the soldiers, but he subverted Li Biao's three views.

They loved the Great Qian Dynasty.

They loved Emperor Li Cun.

They were always ready to die for the Great Qian Dynasty and the Great Qian Emperor.

They are completely different from what some literati told Li Cun that soldiers are like combs and bandits are like grates.

They kept in mind the military discipline set by Emperor Li Zheng at the beginning of the founding of the army, "not taking a stitch from the masses".

They love life, but they are not afraid of death.

When foreign enemies attacked, they would not hesitate to take up arms to defend the Daqian Dynasty.

Seeing such cadres and soldiers, Li Biao secretly exclaimed: "I am grateful to my father, Emperor Shengming, and asked me to join the army anonymously, otherwise I will be deceived by the scholars." ”

Similarly, as he deepened his understanding of the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty, and as he learned the weight of Li in the minds of the soldiers of the Qianqian Dynasty, Li Biao felt more and more that there was a huge gap between him and his father and the emperor as if there was a chasm that he could not cross in his entire life.

Li Biao even had the unconfident idea of "I am worthy of taking over the country's society laid down by my father".

Li Biao, who has always been excellent and confident since he was a child, and is always ready to take over the Daqian Dynasty, was not confident to the point of insomnia for the first time.

He even remembered Hu Hai: "Will I become Qin II?" ”

Without waiting for Li Biao to carefully compare himself with Hu Hai, the horn of an emergency assembly suddenly sounded in the outer world!

“?”

At first, Li Biao hadn't reacted yet, it was an emergency gathering.

Li Biao, who had never heard such a horn, was still pondering in an orderly manner: "Who blows the horn at this time and doesn't let people sleep?" ”

Immediately after, Li Biao heard the neighing of horses from people outside.

It was only then that Li Biao guessed that this should be an emergency assembly, which was recorded in the military handbook written by his father.

Li Biao hurriedly began to prepare in accordance with the precautions recorded in the military manual.

The good thing is that -

Li Biao did not take off his military uniform because of insomnia.

Li Biao packed everything in the shortest time, then grabbed his armor and spear, and walked out the door.

Although Li Biao felt that his speed was already fast, Li Biao was still almost late.

However, although Li Biao was not late, because this was the first time he experienced an emergency assembly, he still forgot an important thing in his hurry, that is, their vanguard battalion was a horse army, and he did not lead the horses.

The key is that the entire pioneer battalion did not lead the war horse by Li Biao himself.

Yue Yun, who usually talked and laughed with Li Biao, saw that Li Biao was not leading the horse, so he immediately pricked up his eyes and scolded: "Li Jianjun, where is your war horse?" ”

With Yue Yun's reprimand, all the soldiers of the pioneer battalion looked at Li Biao.

Li Biao suddenly felt a sense of shame that made people stripped naked.

Luckily -

At this time, Yao Wei, the son of Yao Xing, who came to the pioneer camp with Li Biao to join the army and also acted as Li Biao's adjutant, brought four war horses and said: "Li Jianjun, your war horse." Then he handed over the two war horses to Li Biao.

Li Biao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then calmly took over his two war horses, and hung his armor and spear on one of the war horses like everyone else.

Seeing that Li Biao was not stupid enough not to even bring a war horse before going to war, Yue Yun no longer went to see Li Biao, but began to reorganize the army very professionally.

After the pioneer battalion was assembled, Li Biao asked Yue Yun: "What is the matter with the hasty assembly?" ”

Yue Yun replied: "I don't know, maybe there is a war; Maybe it's the whole army is fully armed. Well...... The latter is more likely, because our First Military Region will go out to practice once a month, and there has been no break in the past five years, and this may be the case this time. ”

Li Biao didn't think too much about it when he heard this, and followed the action together......

……

There are countless large and small river loops scattered on the land of western Liaoning.

Looking down from the sky, the river loop is like the veins on the leaves, well-organized, varying in thickness, twisting and dense.

Riverbeds, sand and gravel, riverbanks, weeds, wildflowers, floods, silt, floating firewood, these things are simple and straightforward, almost all of the Liaoxi Hetao.

The West Liaoning Corridor is backed by mountains and facing the sea, with undulating hills and dangerous situations, and is an important channel to communicate inside and outside Yuguan (Shanhaiguan).

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties in history, and even to modern times, the Western Liaoning Corridor has always been a necessary place for soldiers to fight.

At the same time, around the Liaoning West Corridor, there have been many stories that people have been told.

The Central Plains first entered the Northeast through the Liaoxi Corridor and exercised effective control over the Northeast in the pre-Qin period.

King Yan Zhao sent his general Qin Kai to attack Donghu through the Liaoxi Corridor.

After fighting Donghu, he went to attack Jizi Korea again.

According to historical records, these two military operations of the Yan State took more than 2,000 miles of land.

After the war, the Yan Kingdom set up counties in the northeast.

After that, the Central Plains civilization began to enter the northeast region.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were already big families in the northeast.

In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and many displaced people entered the northeast region through the western Liaoning corridor, and the number actually exceeded the locals.

A large number of displaced people from the Central Plains have brought advanced technology and sufficient labor force from the Central Plains to the Northeast region.

At that time, Murong Xianbei, who occupied western Liaoxi, had the capital to compete in the Central Plains.

Murong Xianbei was a nomadic people, and after a large influx of Han Chinese, Murong Xianbei quickly became sinicized.

However, Murong Xianbei was not completely sinicized, but adopted a management model of nomadic herding and farming.

That is, the Han people developed agriculture to provide food, and the tribes provided samurai to ensure force.

This model has been proven to work in reality.

Later, although Murong Xianbei was defeated, another branch of the Xianbei people, Tuoba Xianbei, inherited and developed this model, and eventually became the overlord of the north.

The Liaoning West Corridor is not only a transportation artery, it also has extremely high strategic value, and is often the focus of the game between the regimes outside and inside the Guan.

When the Central Plains regime in the Guannai declined, the nomadic regimes outside the Guanguan would peep into the Central Plains.

When the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, it will also have a desire to conquer the Northeast.

In short, no matter who fights whom, the Liaoxi Corridor is a must-pass place and a battleground for soldiers.

During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan, and the Sui and Tang dynasties conquered Goguryeo, all of which were in the Western Liaoning Corridor.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, the famous Guanning Jin defense line of the Ming Dynasty was built here, and the Ming army relied on the Guanning Jin defense line to fight against the Later Jin regime in the northeast.

If the Later Jin regime wants to enter the customs, the West Liaoning Corridor is a place that must be passed through and taken.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a series of wars broke out between the Ming and Qing armies, almost all of which were for control of the Liaoxi Corridor.

It can be said that since Sun Chengzong single-handedly created the Guanningjin defense line, this defense line has become an obstacle that the Qing army cannot overcome, which can be called impregnable.

It was not until later that Wu Sangui was angry and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, that the Ming Dynasty completely lost the Liaoxi Corridor, and the Qing army entered the customs, which eventually led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, the situation between the Daqian Dynasty and the Jin State has completely reversed itself from the Ming and Qing dynasties in history.

In that year, the Jin State took advantage of the fact that the Daqian Dynasty had no time to take care of the north, not only occupied Jinzhou and choked the western Liaoning corridor, but later further occupied Huludao and Xingcheng (Peach Blossom Island), and then built Xinglin Fort south of Xingcheng, making the entire northern area of the western Liaoning corridor a solid defense line.

——Especially since Yue Fei secretly attacked Bei'an Prefecture from the West Liaoning Corridor and captured Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Yanmu and their two Jin people, the Jin people spent huge manpower and financial resources to completely block the West Liaoning Corridor.

Over the years, Yue Fei has been studying how to open up the Western Liaoning Corridor, and then go out of the customs to cut gold.

Now, it was finally time for Yue Fei to implement the strategy he had been preparing for many years.

As for why Yue Fei made a decisive move only three days after returning to the First Military Region?

First of all, of course, the speed of the soldiers.

Yue Fei didn't believe that the cunning Jin people didn't work hard in the First Military Region.

Just like the large number of spies in the Jin army who had already infiltrated the Daqian Dynasty.

This kind of thing must be impossible to prevent.

Since there are fine works in the first military region, Yue Fei doesn't believe it, these fine works can't be heard, he came back from the Beijing division this time, and brought back more than 10,000 people, including a large number of high-ranking officials of the Daqian Dynasty, and then deduced that the Daqian Dynasty was going to cut gold.

In order not to let the Jin people be guarded and greatly increase the difficulty of cutting gold, Yue Fei's best choice was not to give the Jin people a chance to react, send troops as quickly as possible, and attack them unprepared to take the crucial Liaoxi Corridor by surprise, so that even if the Jin people received the news that the Great Qian Dynasty was going to attack Jin, it would be too late to prevent the Qianjun army from seizing the vital Liaoxi Corridor.

In fact, if he didn't have to make the necessary preparations, Yue Fei wanted to send troops to seize the Liaoxi Corridor as soon as he returned to the First District Army.

The second reason is that in order to capture the Western Liaoning Corridor, Yue Fei has been preparing for ten years, and the preparation is really too sufficient, so the First Military Region does not need more time to prepare for the recovery of the Western Liaoning Corridor.

As for the third reason, it is that before Yue Fei left the Beijing Division, Li Cun gave Yue Fei the truth, according to Li Cun's original words: "Aiqing just let go and fight, what is the reason for the war, you have a civilian official to worry about, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

With these three good reasons, as soon as Yue Fei returned to the First Military Region, he kept the news tightly sealed and prepared for three days.

Now, everything is ready, Yue Fei did not hesitate to once again make the illusion that the whole army was armed and trained, except for leaving 20,000 horses to guard Yuguan and other dangerous passes, the rest of the men and horses, the whole army was dispatched.

In fact, at the same time, Wang Yan, the commander of the Fourth Military Region, and Zhang Xian, the commander of the Tenth Military Region, have now led their troops north, preparing to take over the First Military Region's gold cutting operation.

In other words, without any preparation in the Jin State, or even when the high-level officials of the Jin State were still busy with infighting, the cadres had quietly begun to cut down Jin......

……

In the dark night, under the moonlight, the pioneer battalion that had already left the customs quickly marched on the corridor of western Liaoning in the dark.

For the sake of secrecy, the pioneer battalion did not light torches, and the cadres and soldiers of the pioneer battalion marched with difficulty on this rugged gravel road.

Li Biao, who had never suffered this kind of hardship, soon couldn't bear it, he found Yue Yun, and said with a sigh...... Commander Yue, you still have to ...... How long will you have to run, or ...... Why don't I wait to get on the horse? ”

When Yue Yun heard this, he immediately scolded: "If the horsepower is consumed on the road, how can it be used when it comes to war?" ”

Li Biao wanted to say, isn't this a drill, why are you so serious?

Seeing that all the soldiers of the pioneer battalion were leading their horses forward, without saying a word, Li Biao was really embarrassed to question Yue Yun's decision.

Although Yue Yun looked down on Li Biao's squeamishness, Li Biao's conversation and knowledge still made Yue Yun appreciate it very much.

Therefore, Yue Yun said to Li Biao: "My vanguard battalion is a horse army, and it is an elite man and two horses, so you can put the armor on the horse, and the other armies have to carry the weight forward, like the artillery battalion, and you have to pull the heavy artillery to march forcibly, the divine invincible general cannon, one weighs a thousand catties, although there is a vehicle horse, but only to move up and down, can exhaust the individual, but even so, all armies dare not miss the wartime, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law." ”

Listening to Yue Yun's words, Li Biao was ashamed, and he no longer dared to have the idea of being lazy.

Around midnight, the Pioneer Battalion came to the vicinity of Xinglinbao.

At this time, everyone was tired enough, but fortunately, no one was left behind, including Li Biao.

Yue Yun said to Li Biao, who was so tired that he was about to collapse: "The front is Xinglin Fort, if it is just a training, let the golden dog of Xinglin Fort see us and others, the capital should order the withdrawal of troops......

Suddenly!

Not far away, a continuous sound of "boom, boom, boom, boom ......" sounded.

Immediately afterwards, there were countless shouts of Han people to kill.

"It's Kamui Invincible General Cannon! Infantry and artillery synergy! It's not a drill this time?! ”

Yue Yun reacted the fastest, and he hurriedly arranged for all the soldiers of the vanguard battalion to continue marching and begin to put on their clothes and prepare for battle.

After a while, the pioneer battalion came to the outside of Xinglin Fort in full armor.

I saw that at this time, the artillery fire shook the sky, dyeing the sky red, and thousands of infantry soldiers attacked Xinglinbao under the cover of artillery fire, and at the same time, tens of thousands of infantry troops were preparing to attack.

Seeing that the pioneer battalion was coming, Yue Fei and Wang Gui, the commander of the First Army, who had already come here by sea, didn't say any nonsense, Wang Gui directly ordered Yue Yun and Li Biao: "Rest immediately, wait for the infantry army to open the fortress, and your battalion is responsible for entering the fortress and defeating the golden dog." ”

After hearing this, Yue Yun and Li Biao immediately received the order, and then hurried to prepare for the attack on the fortress.

Although it was spring, the mountain wind in the north at night still blew a chill, and the soldiers of the first battalion were exhausted by the continuous march, and many people wanted to find a place to sleep well.

But looking at the cadres and soldiers who rushed to the wall of Xinglinbao and fought with the Jin people, even the most tired and sleepy Li Biao did not dare to have the idea of sleeping, he could only follow the example of the cadres and soldiers of other pioneer battalions, desperately stuffing jerky and flatbread into his mouth, and feeding beans to his war horses, so as to quickly recover the physical strength of himself and his war horses.

Yue Yun took the time to introduce to Li Biao, who was not familiar with the situation on the front line in Pingzhou:

"The keeper of this Xinglin Fort is the fourth son of the king of Jin Guolu, Wanyan Aguta, Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda and Jin Taizong's Wanyan Wubeggar's nephew Wanyan Zongxu, who all went out of the customs to capture Wanyan Yan's mother's family, only Wanyan Zongxu escaped with his life, and later Wanyan Zongxu took the initiative to transfer to this Xinglin Fort, and Wanyan Zongxu has been ......an enemy of our first military region for many years."

Just then, someone shouted, "Rush up!" ”

Yue Yun quickly stopped talking and looked at the wall with Li Biao.

I saw that more than a dozen cadres and soldiers finally climbed to the top of the city under the cover of artillery fire, and they were fighting desperately with the Jin people at the moment.

Among them, there is a young general, strong in martial arts, fierce and good at fighting, under his leadership, these dozen cadres and soldiers have stubbornly killed a large position on the wall.

As a result, more and more officers and men rushed to the city from this position.

By the already bright morning light, Li Biao recognized at a glance that the young man with strong martial arts and fierce fighting skills was his younger brother Li Kai.

Li Kai is one of Li Biao's many younger brothers, one of the more excellent, he is both civil and military, he entered the army at the age of 12, and has made a lot of military exploits in the process of joining the army, and their father Li Cun has praised Li Kai in public.

Moreover, Li Kai's mother is Sheng Xia, the daughter of the Sheng family in Jiangnan, and Li Kai's uncle is in charge of more than half of the water army of the Daqian Dynasty, and the East China Sea Army is in charge of Sheng Zheng.

The key is that Li Kai is not only capable, has a background, but is also very ambitious.

Over the years, Li Kai has been actively expressing himself, whether it is in terms of literature or martial arts, he is not willing to fall behind.

Therefore, many people are saying that if Li Cun had not clearly cultivated Li Biao as the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty, Li Kai would definitely be one of the strong contenders for the crown prince.

At this moment, seeing Li Kai's outstanding performance, Li Biao couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he compared his extremely bad performance just now!

At this time, Li Biao couldn't help but think: "If I am not the first son of my father, and my mother is the queen of my father, I am the undisputed eldest son, is this crown prince really someone else?" ”

Looking at Li Kai's vigorous figure in the city, Li Biao's mind flashed the figures of those equally excellent younger brothers, thinking about the achievements of those equally excellent younger brothers over the years......

Right here, I heard dozens of explosions on the wall.

Someone shouted: "It's thunder!" The golden dog also has a thunderstorm!! ”

When the explosion passed, Li Biao looked through the thick smoke emitted by the black powder.

I saw that many Jin soldiers recaptured the position they had laid by Li Kai with the huge lethality of the thunder, and Li Kai, who had just returned to the people to block the killing of the Buddha and the killing of the Buddha, was being cut off by a golden general with a big waist and a round waist!

The prince Li Kai, who had the strength to compete with Li Biao for the crown prince, died in such a battle!!
