Chapter 423: Deliberation
"What's wrong?" Dian Kui noticed that Li Fengyun seemed to have something on his mind, and was in a trance, so he walked over and asked. [_ζ°\ζ\θ·―\δΈ\ζ\0m Hand-hit House].org
On this expedition, the veterans of the guerrilla battalion, Dian Kui, Zhang Song, Yuan Ba, Xiao Jingyun, Zhao Wuji, He Chi, Wang Cheng, Wang Dashan and others, all went out on the expedition, and all of these people, except for Wang Dashan, basically all stepped into the second-rate realm.
For more than a year, there have been She Pocai to guide them in martial arts, and their own qualifications are already good, and it is difficult not to step into the second-rate realm.
In addition, he also brought eleven second-rate masters, and more than a hundred third-rate masters.
Although there are not many people and horses on the expedition, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the number of martial arts masters alone is probably much stronger than any of today's Zhichong Mansion.
Six regiments of soldiers and horses, each regiment of two hundred men.
The Guards Regiment was led by Li Fengyun. But most of the time, Li Fengyun didn't care about the affairs of the pro-guard group, and was actually led by Wang Cheng, another general.
The other five regiments of soldiers and horses were each in charge of a battalion by Zhang Song, Yuan Ba, Xiao Jingyun, Zhao Wuji, and He Chi.
Dian Kui is the leader of the historical position, mainly responsible for the planning of the whole army and the deployment of grain and grass. The grain and grass camp was in charge of Wang Dashan, and he was in charge of the 1,000 people. If necessary, these 1,000 men will at any time replenish the battle losses of the guerrilla battalion.
Wang Dashan had an arm cut off on the battlefield, and his martial arts were barely third-rate now, but he had always been loyal to Li Fengyun and was deeply trusted by Li Fengyun, and this person was bold and careful, and he was the most suitable to manage logistics affairs.
Zhang Jun did not go on the expedition this time, and all the affairs of the Fengyun Dart Bureau were handed over to Zhang Jun, and She Pocai's injuries had healed, but he still couldn't use his internal strength, so he also stayed in Kaifeng City.
"No!" Li Fengyun didn't want to affect his morale because of his own affairs at this time, so he said casually, "I'm thinking about the situation in Hedong, Brother Dian, can you send new information?"
Dian Kui shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no new news on the Hedong side for the time being, but there is information from the Hebei side, Liu Yanzuo, the assassin of Yingzhou on the Khitan side, and Wang Luan, the commander of Leshou, seem to have been in close contact, I don't know what the two are doing."
In addition, the news just came from the capital that a few days ago, Du Chongwei's general Liu Yanhan was attacked and captured by Sun Fangjian and sacrificed to the Khitan. On the way, Liu Yanhan escaped, and according to Liu Yanhan's confession, Sun Fangjian had surrendered to the Khitan. β
"Sun Fangjian, who is Sun Fangjian? Why does it sound familiar. Li Fengyun was a little puzzled.
Dian Kui replied: "Sun Fangjian is the nephew of Sun Shenyi, a generation of gods, and a disciple of Sun Shenyi. When my Fengyun battalion galloped through Hebei, Sun Shenyi also ordered Sun Fangjian to escort a batch of grain and grass to support us.
Back then, before I joined the Fengyun Battalion, I had a few opinions with his master Sun Shen, and I also had some friendship with Sun Fangjian, Sun Fangjian's martial arts were still above me, and he knew martial arts strategy.
It's a pity that a dignified man actually became a Khitan eagle dog like this. β
Speaking of the deep meaning of Shennsun, Li Fengyun suddenly remembered.
It was a first-class master of the Wolf Mountain faction in the Dingzhou area, and his martial arts were slightly worse than She Pocai's original martial arts.
Two hundred miles northwest of Dingzhou, there is a mountain called Wolf Mountain. The locals built a castle on the mountain to resist the plundering of the Hu people, and over time they formed the Wolf Mountain faction, a well-known sect on the rivers and lakes. The head of the Wolf Mountain faction is Shensun Shenyi.
When Li Fengyun was competing at the top of Tai, Li Fengyun saw Shennsun Shenyi, when she represented the Jin Kingdom, she was seriously injured by the Khitan masters, and later it is said that she went back to the Wolf Mountain Sect to recuperate. How could such a heroine tolerate her nephew's surrender to the Khitan?
Li Fengyun was a little puzzled.
Dian Kui explained: "Sun Shenni has been ignoring the affairs of the Wolf Mountain Sect for more than half a year, and it is likely that he has been seriously injured and has gone immortal. At the beginning, Sun Fangjian was rewarded by the imperial court for his meritorious service in resisting the Khitan, and he was appointed as the commander of the Northeast Recruitment.
When the Khitan invaded the Central Plains, he also made a lot of meritorious achievements. I don't know why, he actually took refuge in the Khitan, it's a pity, and it's a pity.
If this person really works for the Khitans, it will be a great harm to my Central Plains. In Dingzhou's generation, he was very familiar with it, if he was not careful, the army of the imperial court would suffer a big loss. β
Li Fengyun secretly said in his heart, according to the style of the imperial court, he looked down on those heroes who were born recklessly, if the court had nothing to do with it, he would be ostracized and suspicious, and even Li Fengyun himself would suffer from it, but I was afraid that the court would not be able to resist Sun Fangjian first.
The two sighed, and Dian Kui asked, "What is Liu Zhiyuan's character?" Fengyun, you have worked with him, you should know something. β
Li Fengyun thought for a while and said: "This person is open-minded, tolerant, very extraordinary in vision and insight, and good at adopting opinions and winning people's hearts. Getting along with him gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.
There are many good generals under him, including Guo Wei, Yang Wei, Shi Hongzhao, Liu Chong and others, among which Guo Wei is the most prominent.
Guo Wei can be called a Confucian general. The generals under his command, such as Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi, Shi Shouxin, Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Wang Xianqi, etc., are not ordinary people, and he will definitely soar into the sky every day. β
Dian Kui was surprised: "It sounds like Liu Zhiyuan is very powerful, so how useful is my guerrilla battalion in the past?"
Li Fengyun shook his head and said: "I guess the emperor wants to use troops against the Khitan, but he still has some scruples about the Khitan, so he wants to test it on the east side of the river first." After all, the Khitan Iron Cavalry is famous, even if it loses the battle, the land east of the river is not as good as Hebei, and there is the danger of mountains and rivers, and the situation will not collapse for thousands of miles. β
"Do you mean that this time on the Hedong side, it is not actually the Khitan who is causing trouble, but the imperial court deliberately letting Liu Zhiyuan tempt it?" Dian Kui asked.
Li Fengyun nodded and replied: "This is just my guess, the Khitan was just defeated last year, and its vitality may not have recovered." How could he choose to cause trouble at this time, and besides, Yelu Deguang is not a fool, he doesn't take the big road in Hebei, but he wants to provoke Liu Zhiyuan in Hedong, doesn't he really know that the land of Shanxi is not suitable for cavalry to fight?
Besides, Yelu Anduan suffered a big loss in Xinzhou at the beginning, and Yelu Deguang had no reason not to learn a lesson.
In the battle of Yangcheng, the Khitan army was newly defeated, and the morale was not strong, on the contrary, the morale of the soldiers and horses in our Central Plains was greatly boosted.
If I were Yelu Deguang, I would not choose to fight the Jin army in Hedong. I will attract the main forces of the Jin army to the north of Hebei. In this way, it will be easier for the Khitan army to get food. On the contrary, after several years of great war and famine, Hebei's grain and grass have long been exhausted, and the Jin army must transport grain and grass from the south of the Yellow River for thousands of miles to obtain supplies.
Among them, as long as the advantage of cavalry is used, it is not difficult to cut off the grain route of the main force of the Jin army.
As soon as the grain road is cut off, what if the Jin army has many people and horses? β
Dian Kui was shocked and asked, "Have you said this to the emperor?"
Li Fengyun smiled bitterly and replied: "I have said it, and I have said it more than once." But the emperor is already suspicious of me, so how can he believe me?
He would rather believe that Zhao Yanshou really planned to surrender to the Central Plains than that it was just a conspiracy by Yelu Deguang to lure the heavy troops of the Great Jin Dynasty to assemble on the border of Hebei. β
Dian Kui's heart was gloomy: "Then what are you going to do?"
Li Fengyun sighed and said, "Do your best and obey the destiny of heaven, so once a war breaks out in Hebei, the most important thing for us is to protect the grain route of the army." It is hoped that the Jin army can fight a quick battle with the Khitan. β
Dian Kui knew very well that it was impossible to rely on 1,200 soldiers from their guerrilla battalion and 1,000 auxiliaries to transport grain and grass to protect thousands of miles of grain routes.
