"Young Master Leng , do you think that relying on a mere Hutuo River can stop the 100,000 iron hooves of my Khitan army?" Xiao Han laughed.

It's still the restaurant in Youzhou City, it's still the same table, and there are still two people sitting on both sides of the table.

"Can't stop it, if it's just a Hutuo River, of course it can't be stopped, Khitan 100,000 iron horses. Nineteen also smiled, "However, Lord Xiao, don't forget that there are still 300,000 soldiers and horses stationed on the other side of the river, camping for ten miles, echoing each other. Have you forgotten the old things in Yangcheng?

Lord Xiao, I might as well tell you that there are not only thousands of defenders in Zhenzhou City, but also a team of elite soldiers carefully trained by my lord, no less than tens of thousands. Lord Xiao is not worried that my lord will be impatient, and these tens of thousands of defenders will rush out of the city and attack the Great Khan from behind? At that time, my lord will lead an army of 300,000 to wade through the water from the Hutuo River, and what will be the result at that time, I don't need to say more!"

"Tens of thousands of elite soldiers?" Xiao Han raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid there are only 30,000, and they are all foot soldiers, led by General Wang Chongyin Wang! My Khitan is not deaf or blind, and I don't even know how many soldiers and horses there are in Zhenzhou City."

Since you said it, the old man is not good not to say it, the Great Khan has already laid down a group of elite cavalry around Zhenzhou City, the number is not much, only 10,000 people, waiting for the 30,000 elite soldiers in Zhenzhou City.

Leng Gongzi, you'd better remind Duke Du, otherwise, these 30,000 elite soldiers who have been trained with countless gold and silver will not be good if they are killed by my lord and don't leave a piece of armor.

Also, Young Master Leng, you should get the news in a short time that the grain route of the 300,000 army led by Du Gong has been cut off by the Great Khan. On the day of the confrontation, our Khitan 50,000 iron horsemen sneaked more than 150 miles to the lower reaches of the Hutuo River and successfully crossed the river. ”

Seventeen's face couldn't help but turn pale, and he asked in a lost voice, "How many soldiers and horses did your Great Khan lead?"

"100,000?" Xiao Han said with a smile, "Young Master Leng shouldn't know that with my Khitan's current strength, I can only support the battle of 100,000 iron horsemen at most." ”

"Doesn't that mean that the Great Khan has less than 40,000 soldiers and horses around him? What a bold man, even with 40,000 horses, dare to confront my lord's 300,000 troops?

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Han laughed, "This is the reason why my lord chose the Hutuo River as the decisive battlefield. Leng Gongzi, do you think that the Hutuo River is really so easy to attack?"

"At least that's possible! The fish is dead, and my master can't afford to make any other choice. Seventeen's heart was pounding.

"Who said there was no other choice?" Xiao Han poured himself a drink, "Young Master Leng, isn't the old man talking to you about other options? The Great Khan has the virtue of a good life and doesn't want to kill so many people." Therefore, Du Gong was specially left with a way to live, but Du Gong was still unwilling to go. ”

Seventeen sighed and said, "Let's say, it won't be that it is still bounded by the Yellow River!"

"No, no, no!" Xiao Han laughed, "Since Du Gong feels that it is too embarrassing for the Yellow River to be boundary, the Great Khan doesn't want to make Du Gong too embarrassed. Leng Gongzi is right, how long can such peace last?

The Khitan was destined to be neighbors of the Central Plains for generations, and since this was the case, the Great Khan also hoped to associate with a kind Emperor of the Central Plains, rather than a strong-blooded and impulsive person like Shi Chonggui. Of course, appropriate punishment is inevitable, otherwise, it will make the emperors of the Central Plains feel that my Khitan is easy to bully.

Anyway, Liu Zhiyuan will definitely refuse to lie under Du Gong, so it is better to leave it to the Great Khan to deal with. ”

Nineteen's face turned pale, and he sighed: "It seems that I will inevitably bear the infamy of Mr. Guoqiao back then, and the northwest of the Central Plains will no longer be able to defend from now on." ”

Xiao Han smiled slightly, and said: "The door has been opened, what if you open another window? Besides, Gou Jian even tasted the reincarnation of the five grains of King Wu back then, didn't he also flaunt the green history and be praised by future generations? (Note 1) Oh, no, Du Gong would never betray the Great Khan and the Khitan, and Gou Jian's villain cannot be compared with Du Gong. ”

"This is natural!" Nineteen unconsciously felt an insulted anger rise in his heart, but there was no trace of it on his face.

"According to the latest report, Yelu Deguang sent Xiao Yu (Note 2) to the side of the Jin army and seized Luancheng, which has stifled the grain route and retreat of our army. Du Chongwei's voice was very weak.

"Dashuai, there is only one way to go now!" Li Fengyun said.

"What way?" Du Chongwei's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still food in the army, the pontoon bridge was immediately laid, and the whole army launched an attack on the Khitan army on the opposite bank. Since Yelu Deguang was so bold and sent more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to mess with the grain and grass of our army, then the soldiers and horses around him should not exceed 50,000.

As long as the officers and men of our army, at all costs, rush to the opposite bank, break through the enemy's camp, whether they capture or kill Yerodguang, we will win this battle. At that time, there will be chaos in the Khitan country, and it is not impossible for the marshal to take the sixteen states of Yanyun while the Khitan is in turmoil.

Even if it was just to defeat the Khitans on the other side and be escaped by Yelu Deguang, it would be a big victory. After this battle, I estimate that the Khitans will not dare to look south for at least ten years. ”

Li Fengyun's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"However, we still have 50,000 Khitan iron horsemen behind us, what if they take the opportunity to attack us?" Fu Yanqing asked.

"It doesn't matter!" Li Fengyun replied, "Our army also has a camp, which is just to protect the rear road of the attacking soldiers and horses, and only tens of thousands of horses need to be left behind, which is enough to resist them for a while."

Whether the Khitans break through our army's camp first, or our army breaks through Yelu Deguang's camp first, it depends on whether the fish dies or the net is broken!"

The generals gasped, they knew that Li Fengyun was ruthless enough, but they didn't expect him to be so ruthless, after this big battle, even if he won, there will be no fewer dead and wounded, maybe half of the 300,000 army can be left.

This means that everyone's strength will be greatly weakened, in troubled times, strength means power, means glory and wealth, without strength, even if you make great achievements, you will become fish and meat in the eyes of others, and even your life may not be saved.

The tent suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Fengyun and Du Chongwei in a daze.

"Cheng, the last general will see this method!" Fu Yanqing was the first to speak, "The last general is willing to lead a group of soldiers and horses, and be the first to rush forward, either die in battle, or tie up the enemy chieftain!"

"What the marshal says, the last general will do! The sword mountain is in the sea of fire, frowning, he is not a hero!" Zhang Yanze also said loudly.

"When the two armies meet, the brave wins, Wang Qing is willing to be the vanguard, and with Wang's blood, he will fight a bloody way for the marshal and all the brothers. The general Wang Qing was excited, pulled out his waist knife, and split a cluster of weapons in the tent in half with one sword.

"The emperor is willing to lead the army to fight!

......

(Oh no, I'm going to throw up!) is shameless, to such an extent, and is still praised, according to the author, Gou Jian is an out-and-out villain. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a sword with a honey belly, a sword hidden in his smile, disloyal and unkind, ruthless and unjust.

Since then, how many traitors and traitors have all used Gou Jian as an excuse and excuse.

Note 2: In fact, it was Xiao Han who captured Luancheng, and here he wanted Xiao Han to continue negotiations with the Nineteenth, fabricating Xiao Yu.
