Volume 4 Chapter 407 The swelling Li Yuanjing began to play tricks to death
For Li Jing, the battle of Beisha City was not a great victory.
If it weren't for the Yuanjing Land to take Li Chengqian as a fight, he would have taken Beisha City a long time ago.
For him, it was a shame to have dragged on for so long to take the city of Beisha.
But this is also a helpless thing, as an official, you really have to consider all aspects.
It's okay if you meet the emperor who is wise and generous, but if you meet one or two faint kings or something, hehe, this is the matter of the calf.
Some things, in the end, are just precautions.
……
At the time of the victory of Beisha City, Watering River County was also mired in war.
The resentful army feinted day and night, in fact, in order to buy time for Gao Chunxing to build a wall as soon as possible, which could block Dayan Mang's army in the city of Douhe City, in order to achieve the purpose of switching attack and defense.
To the north, the Western Army was not idle.
Qi Qi He Li didn't plan to really do anything to Murong Fuyun at the beginning, what he had to do was to block the convergence of Tuoba Zhao and Murong Fuyun.
In the case of no superiority in troops, he can only do so.
In the end, he has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. Even if Xi Tong's department is added, their elite strength is just over 40,000, and the remaining 30,000 are auxiliary soldiers at best.
And if Murong Fuyun and Tuoba Zhao were to join forces, the total strength would reach an astonishing 90,000, and they would all be Tuyuhun's elite troops.
Some people may think, 70,000 against 90,000, this battle has to be fought?
But the problem is that there is really a gap between the regular army and the temporary workers.
If there is no gap, Xi Tong himself can resist Tuoba Zhao, where can he be used to rescue?
Therefore, the current strategy is the best outcome for him.
Don't look at the stalemate between his 20,000 army and Murong Fuyun's 50,000 army, but this also creates an opportunity for Xi Tong and them.
Judging from the current situation, Xi Tong and their side have an advantage.
Not to mention that the interception of the Western Army successfully attracted Tuoba Zhao's 5,000 soldiers and horses to help, let's just say that Qi Bi He Li himself pretended to be a resentful army, which also attracted a lot of firepower.
Between plus and minus, Xi Tong's army had 5,000 more reinforcements, but Tuoba Zhao had 5,000 fewer soldiers and horses, and the balance of victory tilted in an instant.
Xi Tong, who was originally struggling to support, took the advantage in an instant.
Of course, the Western Army of Qibi He Li was miserable.
On every battlefield is a situation of fewer enemies and more enemies.
That is, today's Ming soldiers are all morale-like, and they are well-equipped, which has been supported by hardship.
But in the final analysis, the gap in strength is there, and every battlefield feels a little shaky, as if as long as Murong Fuyun uses a little more force, the army will be in danger of being destroyed in an instant.
Now, it's up to us to see which side can bear it.
"General, do you want to transfer the Iron Eagle Guard of the Qibi Sea back?" Just when the battle stopped, a subordinate said to He Li, "The last general went to take a look, whether it was our side or the tiger and leopard battalion, it was a little difficult.
The only thing that is easier is Tumonroe's lone wolf ride, but Murong Fuyun pressed the 20,000 army over there, and if he wants to break through the 20,000 army, I'm afraid it will not be easy. ”
"Nope." Qi He Li shook his head, didn't think much about it, and said, "The Iron Eagle Guard can't move, this is not the limit of Tuyuhun, if the Iron Eagle Guard withdraws back, who will stop Tuyuhun from coming to help again?"
Now that our soldiers and horses can hold on, everyone knows that this is the limit of our troops.
But once everyone is used to the extra 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then the 10,000 soldiers and horses are withdrawn, at that time, it will more or less affect the morale of the soldiers.
It's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's hard to go from luxury to thrift, understand? ”
This is also the reason why he didn't join Xi Tongbu at the beginning, under despair, everyone still has fighting spirit, after all, it is to survive, but when are people the most desperate?
As soon as I saw hope, hope was shattered in an instant.
Rather than that, it is better to let them continue to fight in despair, which may have a better chance of winning.
"But our casualties are not small." The subordinate sighed.
On the entire battlefield, they are the most stressed.
They were fighting almost with one enemy and five to five, which was even more exaggerated than the Tiger and Par Battalion.
"Our casualties are not small, so they have no casualties?" Qi Qi He Li smiled, "If you really want to resist better than anyone, Murong Fuyun made a mistake."
That old thing, he thought that Lao Tzu didn't know what he thought, didn't he just want to drag it, after all, they still have a new force, and we really don't have a new force.
At this time, whether it is killed in battle or injured, it is a real injury, and there is one less wound.
But how does this old thing know that my Ming Dynasty not only has the best armaments in the world, but also unbelievable military doctors and nurses. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Qi He Li shook his head and said, "But there are still fewer military doctors and nurses we brought with us on this expedition, you remember to remind me that after this battle, go back and train more nurses."
With them, we all have a better chance of survival than others. ”
"That's right." Hearing this, the subordinate also nodded, and said, "The efficiency of our wounded soldiers returning to the battlefield is much faster than that old thing of Murong Fuyun, if it weren't for those nurses, this battle would be even more difficult." ”
The confidence of the Ming Dynasty is not only the ordnance, but also in terms of medical treatment, especially in the area of trauma, the Ming Dynasty is also the best in the world.
In war, it is inevitable that there will be times when you get hurt, this is normal.
But the efficiency of the wounded returning to the battlefield is also a reflection of the strength of a force.
"The old man has already played for His Highness, it is estimated that it will not be long before another nurse will be sent to the Sun Moon Mountain, and this battle can boil Murong Fuyun to death." He Li said with a relaxed face.
So far, he has indeed achieved his strategic goal and divided the combined forces of Tuoba Zhao and Murong Fuyun.
Fighting a war has always been one step at a time.
And in Murong Fuyun's camp.
Murong Fuyun was much more distressed than Qi Qi He Li.
I personally led an army of 50,000, but I was blocked by 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Western Army, one after the other, which is fucking uncomfortable.
The 50,000 army was blocked here by 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it was a bit embarrassing to say it.
"30,000 soldiers and horses, I can't even take down the opponent's 10,000 soldiers and horses, when did my Tuyuhun warriors be so useless." In the big camp, Murong Fu Yun didn't fight anywhere, and pointed to a few soldiers under his command who led the troops and scolded, "What use does Ben Khan want you to do?" ”
He originally thought that it was just a mere 10,000 Western Army, and his 50,000 army could be taken down in one drum, even if 10,000 Western Army emerged behind the butt in the end, it would be 20,000, but they had 50,000 troops!
As a result, he has been dragged in this place for several days, how can you make him angry?
The generals under his command were also helpless, and when they heard this, they had to bite the bullet and say: "Great Khan, this expeditionary army does not come into direct contact with us, it is either a crossbow or an incendiary bomb, this is ......"
He was also a little powerless.
It's not that the soldiers under their command are not brave enough, or that the soldiers under their command are cowardly, but this battle can't be fought.
"Great Khan, it's really no wonder that the brothers are ......," someone said, "those guys of the Ming Dynasty are cunning like ghosts, and they have blocked our attacks with walls of fire in several places, and our warriors have not experienced this, so it is inevitable that they will take advantage of them for a while." ”
Speaking of which, there are many words from the people.
They knew about crossbows and incendiary bombs, but the point is, they had never fought with anyone with these things.
For a while, I was inexperienced and couldn't react, which was not a reasonable thing.
Even if they have figured out how to break the enemy before, thinking about it and doing it are two different things.
When Murong Fuyun heard this, he also rubbed his head irritably.
Doesn't he know what's going on?
Nonsense, he must know, but if he knows, he wants him to come up with an effective strategy to break the enemy, and he doesn't have it.
In the final analysis, he didn't know how to deal with these methods of the Ming Dynasty.
"What are the kings of Dingcheng and Dayan Mangjiebo doing!" There was no move here, so he could only transfer his anger to Watering River City, "These two guys, why don't you send troops at such a good time?" ”
As soon as they heard Murong Fuyun talk about these two guys, everyone shut up.
If you want to scold yourself, you can scold whatever you want, anyway, we don't mix.
"Send a scout horse to inform the king of Dingcheng that they are all at this time, what are they still doing in the city? It's time to come out! Murong Fuyun thought for a while, and finally said, "As long as they come out and someone helps us contain one or two, Ben Khan won't believe it, these guys in the Ming Dynasty really have three heads and six arms." ”
"Great Khan, the king of Dingcheng, I'm afraid there will be an accident." Hearing Murong Fuyun say this, one of his subordinates immediately said, "It stands to reason that we have also sent troops for so long, and the King of Dingcheng and their side should have received the news a long time ago, but no Tanma from there has come over until now." ”
His subordinates are also smart people, and they never mention Dayan Mang's knot.
"It's normal." Murong Fuyun heard the words and said, "Da Ming has invested all his troops on our side, and it is estimated that he has played an empty city plan outside the city of Pouring River, and there is a chance that the king of Dingcheng will be in the middle of the plan!"
But if you want to play the empty city plan, then you must block the news, otherwise, the king of Dingcheng will seize this opportunity to join us, and at that time, the Ming royal court will definitely suffer from the enemy.
But is it that easy to block news?
Ben Khan didn't believe it, he Li Chengqian had so many troops to blockade the entire Doohe County, this time, send a hundred horsemen, be sure to notify the king of Dingcheng to send troops north! ”
After speaking, Murong Fuyun smashed his fist on the table, "After all, he has so many troops in the Ming Dynasty, why should he fight with me?" ”
"Could it be the remnants of Watering River County?" A subordinate said, "Since the outbreak of the Great War, the remnants of Dohe County have not appeared on the battlefield, could it be that they are holding back the King of Dingcheng?" ”
Murong Fuyun shook his head and said, "No, those remnants of Dohe County are now encircling and suppressing the exiles of various tribes, and Ben Khan has already received the news.
Obviously, Li Chengqian did not dare to trust them.
That's a good thing for us, too. ”
Good thing?
Li Chengqian would have died of laughter if he heard this.
I really don't dare to trust them now, but if I want them to encircle and suppress them for a while, do you dare to believe them?
"We don't know what the situation is on the Dingcheng King's side for the time being, and we can't pin all our hopes on them." Another subordinate said.
Murong Fuyun nodded when he heard this, and said: "Don't worry, Ben Khan has already made arrangements, presumably there will be reinforcements going south in the near future, hehe, when the time comes, I can give those guys in Daming a surprise." ”
Of course, he can't pin all his hopes on King Dingcheng, who doesn't know what the situation is, which is the same as not putting eggs in one basket.
Besides, for him Tuyuhun, this battle can only be won and not defeated.
……
Also concerned about this battle is Li Yuanjing, the king of Zhao in Shimizu River.
Although he is not capable of participating in this battle, he is also particularly concerned about this battle.
He knew very well that as long as he settled in Qingshuichuan, it would mean that the decisive battle between Daming and Tuyuhun had begun.
Murong Fuyun would not let go of such an excellent opportunity.
Of course, these are not his analysis, but from Li Yuan.
He doesn't have such a strategic vision at the moment.
At this time, in Qingshui Chuan City, the former Tianzhu King's Mansion has changed owners.
Li Yuanjing formed his most primitive team here.
And the general of the palace who was responsible for escorting Gu Jianzhang's envoy also turned into a general of the Great Zhao Palace.
Although his descendants only had 3,000 soldiers and horses, this was much stronger than when Li Chengqian started his business.
You must know that when Li Chengqian started his family, he didn't have such a thick family foundation.
"What are those soldiers and horses left behind by Murong Fuyun doing now?" Li Yuanjing finished handling today's official business and asked casually.
Beside him, a cronie said: "General Lin said before, although those guys are now unarmed, they don't look like a herdsman after all, these days, General Lin is going to break them into pieces and disperse them to various places in Qingshui River." ”
"No." Li Yuanjing shook his head and said, "Although these guys are Murong Fuyun's people, if we are always on guard against them, they will always be Murong Fuyun's people."
After all, my Great Zhao Wangting still needs them. ”
How can a nation have no people?
A country without its people is at best a den of bandits.
"But we only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and if they have different intentions......" The cronies were a little worried.
The idea that people who are not of our race must have different hearts have long been ingrained in his heart.
"If we can't even accept their hearts, this Da Zhao Wangting is just a joke in the end." Li Yuanjing still shook his head, "Since you have chosen to establish a country in this Qingshui River, some thoughts have to be changed.
Look at the Ming Dynasty, if my nephew had been holding your thoughts, the Ming Dynasty would have been overturned by Tuyuhun. ”
During this time, what he studied the most was the history of the Ming Dynasty.
He doesn't think that he is worse than Li Chengqian, people, they are all blindly confident, and always feel that what others can do, he can also do.
What's more, his starting point is not low compared to Li Chengqian.
If Li Chengqian had his starting point, he would not dare to say that his achievements would be higher now, but at least he would not have suffered so much in the early stage.
From this point of view, he felt that he was still better than Li Chengqian.
At least, he didn't make any effort, just weighing the pros and cons, and he sought Qingshuichuan, just this ability, does Li Chengqian have it?
When the cronies heard this, they didn't say much, but thought about it seriously.
Just then, another cronie walked in.
"Your Highness, Gu Shangshu is back."
The so-called Gu Shangshu is the former governor of the palace, Shi Gu Jianzhang, after Li Yuanjing established himself as the royal court, he appointed Gu Jianzhang as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
After all, Gu Jianzhang was going to be an envoy for him, and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was also suitable.
"Please." When Li Yuanjing heard that Gu Jianzhang was back, he hurriedly said.
He also wanted to know what support his nephew could give to his country.
In his opinion, he established a country in Qingshui River, how could Li Chengqian support one or two.
After all, everyone is of the same ancestry, and with him in the north, it is also a help for Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian even supported the Western Turks at the beginning, and it is impossible not to support him Li Yuanjing.
Soon, Gu Jianzhang walked in with a depressed face.
"See Your Highness, Wechen is incompetent......" As soon as he entered, he bowed and said.
For him, this mission to the Ming Dynasty was definitely a failure, and he was a little sorry at the moment.
When Li Yuanjing heard this, his brows furrowed.
"What's going on?"
Gu Jianzhang was also a little helpless, so he briefly told him what happened after he met Li Chengqian.
That's really simple, Li Chengqian met him once, isn't it simple?
After that time, Li Chengqian sent him away.
After Li Yuanjing heard what he said, his brows furrowed even deeper.
Li Chengqian, this is not giving him the face of being an uncle at all!
"No more words?"
Gu Jianzhang shook his head.
He still doesn't understand why Li Chengqian has that attitude.
It stands to reason that everyone is of the same ancestry, and they are all on the territory of Tuyuhun, so at this time, they should be in the same breath.
If the Ming court supports them, they can also cooperate with Li Chengqian in the north.
Isn't that bad?
"Hmph, it seems that he looks down on this uncle." Li Yuanjing snorted coldly.
Since establishing his own royal court, Li Yuanjing has also been a little inflated.
Now that we are all equal, what are you putting up with me?
Moreover, he really doesn't look down on Li Chengqian, the kind of guy who only knows how to fight and kill, you look at me, my Da Zhao Wangting didn't use a single soldier to take Qingshui Chuan into his pocket.
That's ability.
A lot of times it's like this, and those who use their brains will never look down on those who use their hands.
But most of these people have forgotten that they like to use their own force to rob those who use their brains.
"It looks like Gu Shangshu still has to make a trip." Li Yuanjing looked at it and found that the left and right were his cronies, so he took out another letter from his arms and said, "Pei Lao, they are all officials in Daming now, and here is a handwritten letter handed over to this king by his father before leaving.
Well, this king personally wrote a letter to Pei Lao, presumably Pei Lao and others have been operating in Daming for a long time, and they should be able to give us some help.
Since he Li Chengqian has no respect for his elders, then don't blame me, who is my uncle, for educating and educating the royal brother of the king!
Do you really think that after establishing your own royal court, you will be able to underestimate the people of the world? ”
For Pei Mo, he is still very sure.
This old guy really has nothing to say to Pei Lone, and his real princess is Pei Lone's daughter.
This kind of relationship, Pei Mo will not refuse.
When Gu Jianzhang heard this, he also nodded.
He was also a little inflated.
This is the same as the poor getting rich.
If he is still the long history of Zhao Wangfu, then Li Chengqian can accept him like this.
But now he is the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Zhao Palace, and Li Chengqian still treats him like this, which is a kind of humiliation.
Moreover, the establishment of the Great Zhao Wangting, he is the first to make a contribution.
With Li Chengqian's big pearl jade in front, at this moment, whether it is him or Li Yuanjing, they all regard themselves as personal figures.
What they thought Li Chengqian could do, they could do.
They thought that the glory that the Ming court had, they should also have.
They made themselves an equal sign with the Ming court.
In other words, it was Li Chengqian who brought them to a height that did not belong to them.
It's just, a lot of things, where is it so easy.
"Your Highness, it's not good." At this moment, Lin Zhou hurriedly ran in.
