Chapter 830, winning the command before the battle

He said to another general: "You go and bring Aliqi to me at once, and say that Your Majesty has a decree, and I will invite him to come to discuss the matter." The general answered and ran down. He stared at the generals around him again, and then sat down in the big tent, waiting for Aliqi to arrive.

Soon after, the general sent to invite Aliqi rushed back, covered his face and said indignantly: "General, Aliqi refuses to come, he said that I am not qualified to invite him, and if you want to invite him, you must go and invite the general himself!" ”

Seeing that one of the general's cheeks was high and swollen, it was obvious that he had been slapped heavily by Aliqi, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and scolded: "Bastard! They put up a shelf in front of me! Then he asked, "Didn't you say that Your Majesty came by decree?" "That's it! But he said that he was the commander of the army, and if the general wanted him to come to the meeting, he must go and invite him personally! He cursed angrily.

A subordinate general next to him said: "General, Aliqi has been competing with the general for power since he came here, and this time he must have taken the opportunity to suppress the general!" ”

He sneered and said, "I'll let him be satisfied, and when I trick him, I'll ask him to call me ancestor!" Then he commanded the generals around him: "Prepare all of you according to my commandment, and come as soon as I go." Remember, don't show any flaws. The generals bowed down and promised. He led two of his own soldiers out of the big tent and walked straight towards the big tent of Aliqi in the distance.

He led two of his own soldiers to Aliqi's tent and asked the sergeant guarding the door, "Is the general here?" The sergeant hurriedly said, "The general is in the big tent!" He asked his soldiers to stay outside the big tent and walked into the big tent himself. As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Aliqi, dressed in a heavy armor cloak, sitting on the top, with several generals standing on both sides.

He bowed down and said, "My subordinates have seen the general!" Aliqi asked slowly, "What do you have?" "The cave frowned, and said secretly: 'This guy is obviously asking knowingly!' Then he said: "Not long ago, His Majesty's will arrived, and his subordinates specially came to invite the general to go to the big tent to discuss matters. ”

Aliqi said: "This is the big tent of the great general, so I mean it here." ”

He was shocked and said urgently, "How can this work?" Aric looked at the cave and asked angrily, "Why can't you do it here?" He was speechless, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he thought of an excuse and hurriedly said: "All kinds of copywriting books are in the big tent over there, if you don't go over to discuss the matter, it's really inconvenient!" ”

Aliqi sneered: "If you don't go over, it's not that it's too inconvenient to discuss things, but it's too inconvenient to kill me!" ”

When he suddenly heard this, he was shocked, and countless mysteries surged in his heart, and then he laughed and said, "General, what do you mean by this?" Why can't my subordinates understand? Saying that, the palm of his hand had involuntarily touched the hilt of the knife, and the whole person slowly retreated, but two of Aliqi's generals blocked the door of the big tent. Then there was a commotion outside the big tent, and then I saw that the two sentries who had stayed outside the big tent were bound and gagged and escorted in.

Seeing this, he sharply questioned Arich: "General, what do you mean by this?" ”

Aliqi stood up and walked over to the cave. Panic in his heart, he screamed, drew his scimitar and slashed at Aliqi. Aliqi raised his left hand and grabbed the right wrist of the cave, and then folded it hard, and with a click, the right wrist of the cave was broken backwards, and the hole only felt pain to the bone, and couldn't help but scream. Then the sound stopped abruptly, and it turned out that it was Aliqi who had pinched his throat with his right hand, and his screams were no longer in his throat, and only a gurgling sound could be heard. Holding Ariqi's right wrist with both hands, he tried to break free, but he felt like an iron tong was holding his throat, and he couldn't shake it at all. Suddenly realizing that his situation was extremely bad, infinite fear welled up in his heart, and he stared at Aliqi with wide eyes, his eyes full of panic and begging for mercy.

Aliqi pinched the neck of the hole, looked at him with murderous eyes, and said coldly: "You shouldn't want to murder your mother!" Since you want to murder your mother, I will never let you go! As he spoke, he pulled out the dagger at his waist with his left hand, and pushed it forward violently, and with a soft snort, the dagger pierced into the chest of the hole, reaching the handle. His eyes widened, filled with fear and pain, and then the whole person softened and died.

Aliqi let go of the cave, and the body of the hole fell to the ground. The two pro-soldiers in the cave were already terrified to the extreme, and they kowtowed vigorously on the ground. Aliqi gestured at the two generals standing behind the two men, and the two generals immediately drew their scimitars and slashed them, and the two bloody heads rolled to the ground, and the blood flowed to the ground at once.

Aliqi said to his generals: "Act now! The people bowed down and immediately ran down. The generals of the Cave are leading hundreds of swords and axes to lie in ambush around the tent, just waiting for Aliqi to arrive. After a long time, just when everyone felt a little impatient, they saw a person walking in front of them. When they looked closely, it turned out to be the Aliqi they were waiting for. Everyone immediately became excited, and several generals hurriedly whispered orders, asking the military to prepare for an attack.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden loud killing sound around! Everyone was caught off guard and taken aback, and before they could react, they were rushed in by hundreds of fierce soldiers! The sword light danced wildly, the flesh and blood flew sideways, the generals were confused, and the sergeants scattered and fled!

In just a few moments, the hundreds of soldiers and horses who were lying in ambush around the big tent were either killed or captured. The captives were escorted to Aliqi, and several of the cronies in the cave saw that the situation was not right, and they could not care about any loyalty, and they knelt down and begged for mercy. Aliqi looked at them and said coldly: "Your great general has already gone to the underworld, so you better go down and accompany him!" The crowd was shocked. At this moment, the sergeant standing behind them raised his sword in his hand, and nearly a hundred good heads left his body and rolled to the ground.

The soldiers in the barracks heard the shouts of fighting in the barracks, and rushed out of the big tent one after another, and rushed to the big tent under the leadership of their respective generals. When they saw the corpses in the ground, they were all shocked.

Aliqi walked in front of the public and raised his voice: "The Cave falsely transmitted the Holy Decree and wanted to murder me, but fortunately, I found it in time and corrected it on the spot!" The soldiers looked at each other, but although everyone was a little skeptical about what Aliqi said, they didn't have any special feelings about this matter itself, because everyone saw the rudeness of General Aliqi in the cave, General Aliqi was obviously the commander of the army personally appointed by His Majesty, but the generals such as Yadong behaved rudely and did not obey the general's orders, and everyone was dissatisfied.

Aliqi raised his voice and said: "This matter is all the work of the cave and his cronies, and it has nothing to do with everyone!" This matter has been settled, so you don't have to be afraid, just follow my orders from now on! The soldiers knelt down one after another and made a promise.

Aric said again: "Ben Shuai just received news that there is an abnormal transfer of the people of Ya Hugo on the border!" ......" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be indignant, and they shouted and scolded one after another.

Aliqi was a little quieter and continued: "We can't wait for the Liao people to attack us, we have to take the initiative!" These words were in line with the hearts of the soldiers, and excited shouts rang out at the scene.

Aliqi said: "The generals of the various armies will go back to prepare immediately, and the logistics officer will prepare the grain and grass, and early tomorrow morning, the army will march north!" The soldiers agreed. ……

It is said that Yelu Hongjun sent his confidant Yelu Duzhong to follow the Liao envoy Tanzhong to meet Yelu Huge. When he arrived at Jaisangbo, he met Yehu Hugo. Jaisangbo, is a lake more than 400 miles away from the northeast of the West Sea, located in the western edge of Mongolia now, is a lake formed by the Irtysh River, the surrounding water and grass are fertile, and now it is one of the most important horse ranches in Liao.

When he saw him, he presented a letter of agreement and asked for his return. There was no difficulty, so he stamped the jade seal on the agreement. Seeing that things were going so well, Yelu's originally worried heart flew out of the clouds, and he only felt relaxed and happy.

Later, Yelu Hugo left Yelu Duzhong to feast for a few days, and then led Yelu Duzhong to visit the Liao army's military appearance, which was nothing more than a combination of grace and power. After seeing the magnificent military appearance of more than 100,000 elite Liao troops, Yelu was amazed, and only felt that it was really an extremely wise move to join the Great Liao!

On this day, Yelu Duzhong received Yelu Hongjun's reply, and immediately brought Yelu Hongjun's letter to meet Yelu Hugh, and bowed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty of our country was very happy to hear that the covenant was reached, and he led hundreds of civil and military officials to hold a ceremony of pilgrimage to the north early the next morning!" And swear to heaven that it will always be the Great Liao Empire! Then he dragged Yelu Hongjun's handwritten letter with both hands and presented it. One of the generals took the letter and forwarded it to Jeschugo. Seeing that the letter was full of extremely humble words, he smiled slightly, put down the letter, and said to Yelu loyally: "Now that we are a family, I hope you will fulfill your duties as subordinates!" Yelu was loyal and immediately swore and said: "We, Xiliao, will definitely take Your Majesty's horse as the head, but Your Majesty has an order, and we will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!" ”

Knowing that the covenant had been reached, Xiliao would never dare to disobey his orders, so he smiled and nodded, and said, "Now that the covenant has been reached, it is time for Yelu Hongjun to start acting!" Yelu bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, our lord has already launched an operation!" At this moment, he should have already taken the cold rain of Jeruh! "Brother Yelu nodded and couldn't help but think in his heart: 'I have long heard that Yelu Hanyu was the stunning beauty of the Liao Kingdom back then, I don't know how beautiful it is!'

Brother Yelu Hugh couldn't help but think: 'I have long heard that Yelu Hanyu was the stunning beauty of the Liao Kingdom back then, and she was called the stars and the moon with Yelu Guanyin, I don't know how beautiful it is? Then he couldn't help but feel impulsive in his heart, and said secretly: "Although Yelu Hanyu can hold Yang Peng hostage if he can't see it, but if he can play with Yang Peng's woman, it will be really an exciting thing!" ’

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately said to Yelu: "You immediately tell Yelu Hongjun that you must not hurt Yelu Hanyu, and you must capture it alive!" ”

Yelu said in embarrassment: "The lord of the country naturally wants to be captured alive, I am afraid that the other party will draw his sword and kill himself when he sees that the matter is urgent!" ”

Brother Yelu frowned, only feeling that if Yelu Hanyu died like this, it would be a big disaster, and his victory would not be so perfect, so he advised: "Tell Yelu Hongjun that you must ensure that Yelu Hanyu is safe!" If he hadn't done it yet, it would be better to set up a banquet to trap him; Otherwise, it is better to slow down the attack than to make the opponent rush and do something drastic! Yelu Duzhong didn't understand why Yelu Hugo cared so much about Yelu Hanyu's life and death, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he bowed down and promised.

At this moment, Vest, the general under the command of Yehugo hurried in. Friends who have read the previous article must be no stranger to this blonde-haired, blue-eyed, majestic and brave general, yes, this person and another general from the West, Butler, both belonged to the command of Ya Yu Guanyin, and once fought with Yang Peng and Yang Gui, which is impressive.

I saw West run to the tent, glared at Yelu Duzhong fiercely, and then bowed to Yelu Hugo: "Your Majesty, just now Xihai promised to send an urgent report, and the army of Xiliao suddenly crossed the border and launched a surprise attack on them!" ......" Jere, Hugo, and Jeru, were shocked when they heard this. Yeyhugo asked incredulously, "What did you say?" The Western Liao army launched a surprise attack on our promised Xihai? "Yes! The attack took place a few days ago, our army was caught off guard, the large camp was breached, 200,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out by more than 100,000 people, and only tens of thousands escaped! ”

Surprised, he looked at Yelu Duzhong and asked, "What's going on?" Why did your Western Liao army raid us? ”

Yelu was loyal and flustered, and said at a loss: "This, this villain doesn't know either!" Could it be, it's a misunderstanding! ”

Vest snorted and said angrily: "Raiding our army's camp, our army suffered heavy losses, this is also called a misunderstanding?!" ”

Brother Yelu Hugo shouted and asked, "Is Yelu Hongjun playing a conspiracy with me?" Say! If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you alive! ”

Yelu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Your Majesty spares your life!" Your Majesty spares your life! This, this is really incredible! This, this is simply impossible! Even if the lord of our country has great courage, he will not dare, nor will he dare to deceive His Majesty! As he said this, he was equally suspicious in his heart: Could it be that Your Majesty is really playing a conspiracy against your country? Is it false to annex the Liao State, is it true to paralyze the Liao people to take the opportunity to raid? Isn't that throwing me out to die?

"Then how do you explain the raid on our military camp?" "This, this ......" Jerod was speechless, so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

West said angrily: "Your Majesty, the Khitans are very hateful, so behead him and swear an oath, and then crusade against Xiliao!" West looked impulsive. Yelu was so frightened that he trembled, and his whole body fell to the ground, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!" ……”

Brother Yelu also wanted to immediately raise an army to fight, but after thinking about it, this matter was too unbelievable, did Yelu Hongjun really have the courage to play this conspiracy on himself? Isn't he afraid of setting himself on fire? Or are they actually colluding with the Ming Dynasty, but they came to deliberately belong to us, just to paralyze us so that they can launch a surprise attack? Many thoughts arose in his heart, but for a moment there was no way to tell which one was the truth. Suddenly, Brother Ye Hugh thought of another possibility: the Ming side has always been deceitful, could this matter be a rumor deliberately spread by the Ming side? They knew that if this kind of rumor reached my ears, I would cut off the envoy of Western Liao, and then the covenant that had been reached with great difficulty would be destroyed in an instant.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very strange for the Western Liao army to raid his own Xihai and agree to this news, and I am afraid that it was a conspiracy on the part of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Brother Ye Hugh was silent all the time, Vest couldn't help but become anxious, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, since Xiliao dares to provoke us, we shouldn't let them go!" ”

Yehugo raised his head and said to West: "Order all armies to prepare for battle, and at the same time send fast horses to the camp of the West Sea to inquire about the news, and report back as soon as it is finished." West was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, what else do you want to inquire about?" Hasn't the Xihai battalion been destroyed by the Liao army? Yehu frowned and said, "Does this matter have to be true!" In his heart, Brother Ye Hugh not only suspected that this was a rumor spread by the Ming side, but even doubted whether there were any generals from the former Ye Hu City involved? On the same day, Yehu Hucheng was killed, and Yehu Hugo took advantage of the situation to subdue the army under the command of Ye Hucheng, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Ye Hugo did not purge the army, but let them still serve in their original positions, and at the same time sent people to supervise. Therefore, it is entirely possible for a certain general to collude with foreign enemies to spread rumors.

Jerehugo pointed to Yelu Duzhong, who was still lying on the ground like a pug, and said, "Hold him up for me, and I'll talk about it when the matter is clear!" West answered, walked up to Jerod, lifted him up, and dragged him out, and Jerod begged for mercy.

Ye Hugo walked out of the big tent, looked at the rolling clouds, listened to the rolling thunder, and suddenly felt that the affairs of Xiliao were far from being as simple as he imagined.

Hydon Hugo waited anxiously for the scout's return, two days seemed like a year to Hurhugo's feelings. However, before the scouts returned, the rout arrived first, and thousands of rout soldiers poured into Jaisangbo, terrified. Seeing this, the hope in his heart was dashed, and he hurriedly asked the defeated soldiers, and everyone said that the Western Liao army had attacked them, and the leader was the newly appointed Northern Marshal Aliqi by the Western Liao Emperor.

He was furious, and immediately ordered someone to drag him to Jerod, and after pointing at his nose and insulting him angrily, he immediately ignored his wailing and forgiveness, and ordered the knife and axe to cut him with a thousand knives! He then ordered the army to be reorganized, and at the same time sprinkled a large number of scouts to try to find out the current position of the enemy's army, and then gathered the generals to discuss the strategy of the march.

At this time, the generals only knew that the Xihai camp was attacked by the Liao army, and they couldn't help but look at each other, only feeling incredulous. Yang Xiong frowned and said, "This is really unbelievable! Our Xihai battalion has 200,000 troops, not to mention the Liao army, even if the Ming army comes to attack, it won't be broken so quickly, right? ”

Da Lazy sneered: "I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses of the Xihai battalion didn't want to resist at all when the enemy came to attack!" ”

Everyone couldn't help frowning, and they all understood what Da Lazy meant. The army of the Xihai battalion was originally subordinate to Yehu Hucheng, and Yehu Hucheng was executed by Yehu Hugo's design, and the army under Yehu Hucheng was incorporated. However, although the soldiers under the command of Yehu Hucheng re-swore allegiance to Yehu Huge, the hearts of these soldiers were probably not so comfortable, so when the enemy suddenly killed, whether it was a general or a soldier, they were all passive and sluggish, so it was not surprising that the Western Liao army attacked and broke the camp in one fell swoop.

Brother Hugo looked at Oriduo and said, "Say, what's going on?" "This Liduo is a general of the Liao State, who once conquered the Northern Song Dynasty in the south, and was sent by Ye Hugo to lead the Xihai camp not long ago.

Yan Liduo said depressedly: "Although the appearance of the enemy is very sudden, although it is one of the reasons for the defeat of our army, the more important reason is that after the appearance of the enemy, the officers and men of our army did not resist and dispersed!" Not many of them were actually killed and captured by their opponents, and most of them were scattered on their own! After the defeat of the last general, he collected the defeated troops, and only collected thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses! ”

Jerehugo cried out angrily, "Damn! Damn it! This is clearly a betrayal of the Empire! These rebellions should be cut by a thousand cuts! ”

The generals also shouted. Yan Liduo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that it is enough to only punish those generals who are the leaders!" Brother Huce felt that what he said made sense and nodded. Glancing at the generals, he said, "Put this matter aside for the time being, the first thing we need to do now is to punish Xiliao!" Hmph, those who offended our Great Liao Kingdom will never end well, I want them to regret all this they did today! The generals howled like a pack of bloodthirsty beasts.

Yeyhugo said loudly: "Give the order to go down, and the army will march south!" The generals agreed. Soon after, the 300,000-strong army that had been hoarded at Jaisangpo marched south with tens of thousands of defeated and retreating troops.

Just as the army was heading south, Yehu Hugo received an urgent report from Yemili, and the Western Liao army broke through Yemili and took away more than 2 million loads of grain and grass hoarded in Yemili and a large amount of silver money that Yehu Hugo used to reward the army. Furious, he immediately ordered Da Lan to lead 50,000 cavalry to pursue the enemy, and be sure to intercept the looted money and grain. Immediately, Jeshu Hugo ordered the army to march quickly.

After a fierce pursuit, but it was only in vain, the Western Liao army retreated to the Xihai camp and Alashankou before the Liao army caught up. The Xihai camp of the Western Liao army is located on the south shore of the east of the West Sea, relying on the vast and boundless West Sea, and Alashankou is a pass on the east side of the West Sea, this pass is adjacent to the mountains of the West Sea in the west, and the desert in the east, which is the throat key to the south and north, and the strategic location is extremely important.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
